Coming out of the Golden Tripod Club, Li Dong and Hu Xiaorui went the same way.
"Frightening Step by Step" was on Xiangnan Satellite TV's primetime slot at the end of last year. Not surprisingly, it was very popular.
Originally, the TV series was highly hyped, and it just so happened that there was a snow disaster at that time.
Enterprises were on holiday, schools were closed, and it happened to be the New Year. Many people were idle …
It can be said that the premiere of "Frightening Step by Step" was at the best time, and the ratings were explosive.
The 2.5% ratings, at least at this time, swept away the domestic provincial satellite TV series.
As for CCTV, it is generally listed separately without comparison. CCTV has a wide audience, and it is not interesting to compare with CCTV.
In fact, at this time, there was also a TV series that would become popular in the future. "Soldiers Assault" premiered in 2006, and was actually popular in 2007.
However, at this time, because online videos were not very popular, there were very few people watching "Soldiers Assault" on TV.
This was also the reason why there was not enough publicity, the production cost was not high, and it was a military theme, and the satellite TV that broadcast it was not a very famous satellite TV, which caused the awkwardness of the ratings not going up.
On the contrary, "Frightening Step by Step", under the influence of various factors, became the first in 2007.
Of course, this was arranged by Li Dong himself, because it was broadcast near the end of the year, in fact, it could only be counted as a TV series in 2008.
Hu Xiaorui said as she walked, "Before the TV broadcast was over, many satellite TV stations wanted to cooperate with us and win the second round of broadcasting rights. In the end, we received more than 30 million yuan from the copyright fees for the second round of broadcasting. After this wave is over, there should be some local TV stations that will buy our rebroadcast rights, but the price will not be high at that time. All in all, it should not be a loss, but it also did not make money. "
Li Dong said with satisfaction, "Okay, it's the first time to make a TV series. If we don't lose money, we will make money. And after this time, we will become famous, which is a profit. The next TV series we shoot will be a golden signboard, and it will not be easy to make money. "
Hu Xiaorui immediately smiled and said, "Well, that's true. As soon as "Empresses in the Palace" was finished, many satellite TV stations wanted to win our premiere rights. Xiangnan Satellite TV, Jiangzhe Satellite TV, and Sunan Satellite TV all offered high prices, and Jiangbei also offered high prices. But compared to the other three, it's still a bit lower. I'm considering who to sell it to now. "
Li Dong said nonchalantly, "You can decide on this. Actually, there are a few that are not bad. In the end, it still depends on the price."
Then, Li Dong asked, "How's your preparation for the variety show I told you about last time?"
Far away Technology had recently launched its own video website.
However, the effects were barely satisfactory, and he was completely dependent on "Heart-Breaking Step by Step" to survive.
Now, the CEO of the Interactive Entertainment Group, Bai Feng, had just rushed to Beijing to obtain the online broadcasting rights for the Olympic Games.
It was almost impossible for it to be broadcast on its own, but it would not be easy to get the rights to broadcast it. In addition, the Olympics would not be broadcast until August. During this period, Li Dong hoped to use variety shows to open up the video website market Far away.
Previously, Li Dong had told Hu Xiaorui about a few popular variety shows.
Like The Voice, Where Are We Going, Dad, Running Man … Li Dong gave a brief summary of them.
Hu Xiaorui noted them down, but he did not know which show she had chosen.
There was no need to release three big variety shows at once. It was better to release the good stuff bit by bit. Otherwise, it would not be a long-term solution if it was all used up at once.
At this time, there was no need to worry about copyright disputes. These variety shows had not even been released overseas. In the future, if other countries wanted to import them, they would have to buy the copyright from East Star Entertainment.
Hearing Li Dong ask about this, Hu Xiaorui immediately said, "It's still in preparation. I've been discussing with the company's producer and scriptwriter for some time. We'll first produce Where Are We Going, Dad. This is relatively simple. We just need to invite some celebrities' families to participate. As for the music show you mentioned, one is that the auditions will take a long time, so it's more troublesome. The other is that it's more professional, so we're still looking into it to see which judges to invite. "
Li Dong nodded slightly. The production of Where Are We Going, Dad was indeed simpler. He did not need to successfully produce all of them now.
It was enough to have a variety show to open up the market. It would not be too late to produce it after the variety show market became popular.
After they finished discussing business, Tan Yong drove to the entrance.
Seeing this, Li Dong said, "Did you drive here by yourself?"
Hu Xiaorui smiled and said, "No, I took a taxi. You can send me back."
Li Dong did not think much about it. He nodded and said, "Okay, get in the car."
On the way home after sending Hu Xiaorui, Hu Xiaorui chattered non-stop about the small things in life.
Li Dong listened quietly and did not interrupt.
Hu Xiaorui did not care and continued to talk to Li Dong cheerfully.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Hu Family's villa, Hu Xiaorui got out of the car and waved to Li Dong. Then, she skipped and walked home.
Seeing that she was always so cheerful, Li Dong, who was in the car, could not help but laugh. He signaled Tan Yong to drive away.
Until his car left, Hu Xiaorui, who was still skipping, suddenly lowered her head and became quiet.
Staring at the car Far away for a while, Hu Xiaorui lowered her head and entered the door.
Hu Ming was watching TV. When he saw his daughter return home, he smiled and said, "My dear daughter, why are you back so early? I didn't hear the sound of your car. I thought you would come back later. "
"I came back after dinner. I left the car at Jinding." Hu Xiaorui replied listlessly and then prepared to go upstairs.
Hu Ming saw this and quickly said, "What's wrong? Who made you angry?"
"No, Dad, you are so annoying. I am going upstairs!"
When Hu Xiaorui went upstairs, Hu Ming could not help but touch his chin and then shouted, "Old Zhang, Old Zhang!"
Along with the voice, a man in his fifties hurried into the door.
Hu Ming asked, "When Xiaorui came back just now, whose car did she take?"
Old Zhang hurriedly said, "It was General Manager Li's car."
Hu Ming guessed this was the result, so he did not continue to ask. He waved his hand and signaled Old Zhang to leave.
After the butler left, Hu Ming sighed and was a little distressed.
He had been smart all his life. Even the Sun family was played by him and his wife. Only this daughter was their common nemesis.
Ever since she was young, they would find ways to satisfy her whatever she wanted.
Fortunately, his daughter was pure. Even though she was so arrogant, she did not completely become a playboy. In the past two years, she had even started her own business.
Originally, everything was developing in a good direction. If this continued, the couple could rest assured that their business would be handed over to their daughter in a few years.
Who would have thought that Li Dong would appear in the middle?
Their daughter had taken a fancy to Li Dong. This was something that the couple could see.
If Li Dong was an ordinary person, even an ordinary person, Hu Ming would agree to satisfy his daughter even if he was unwilling.
But Li Dong was not like that. The business that they were proud of was nothing in Li Dong's eyes.
In addition, Li Dong and Du Anmin were too involved, and Hu Ming was even more unwilling to get involved.
Thinking of this, Hu Ming felt a headache.
Their daughter had grown up, and there were some things that they could not persuade her. She had been stubborn since she was young, and now, it was even more troublesome!
…
March 1st.
47 supermarket stores in Lu Province, Zhejiang Province, E Province, and Gan Province were all opened.
Up to this time, Faraway Supermarket was still expanding in Jingjin, Shancheng, Yu Province, and Shanghai.
There were 100 stores in Jingjin, and there were not many stores left that had not opened. There were about 10 stores left. It was almost the same in Shancheng.
Yu Province and Shanghai were late in expanding, and it would probably take some time.
According to statistics, the total number of Faraway Supermarket stores in operation had reached 581, and 46 stores were waiting to open. There were more than 60 stores that had been scheduled to open.
Other than Shanghai and Yu Province, the first round of supermarket expansion had gradually passed.
The expansion in Guangdong Province that Li Dong had decided on had not started yet due to the lack of funds.
According to Li Dong's estimation, Faraway Supermarket should have no problem breaking through 800 stores by the end of 2008. If they had enough funds, they might even have a chance to open 1,000 stores.
In the office.
Sun Tao gave a brief report and then said: "By the end of the year, the number of stores we have should surpass Suning, and there is not much difference between us and Gome.
However, there is still a big gap between us and Huarun Vanguard.
At the end of last year, Bailian had more than 6,000 stores, and Huarun Vanguard had more than 2,500 stores.
It is not realistic to surpass them in sales and number of stores at the same time. The only thing we can fight for is to surpass them in sales.
Although they have a lot of stores, most of them are franchise stores and convenience stores.
According to the estimates given by the various stores, Gome, Suning, and Bailian are all set at more than 100 billion, and Huarun Vanguard's target is 80 billion.
If we work hard to surpass Huarun Vanguard, there is still hope.
But it will be difficult for the other three! "
During the Annual Meeting, Li Dong said that he wants the supermarket industry to be the first. If we are talking about the supermarket industry, their current target is only Bailian and Huarun Vanguard.
But if we are talking about the retail industry, Suning and Gome must be included.
These four companies have a minimum sales target of 80 billion, and the other three companies have a target of more than 100 billion. Sun Tao does not have confidence.
Li Dong's target was to surpass these companies 10 years ago. Now, it is two years in advance. Sometimes, a gap of two years is not easy to overcome.
Seeing Sun Tao's face, Li Dong laughed: "Where there is a will, there is a will. Furthermore, if it is not possible, I will not force you."
"This is not the time to force you." Sun Tao said softly: "Now, this matter has spread, and it will affect Far Away's reputation and your reputation. Everyone was waiting to see him make a fool of himself after he made such a bold statement. Even if they cannot surpass Gome and Suning this year, Bailian must surpass them. This way, at least they will be the first in the supermarket industry, and it will not be embarrassing. General Manager Li, the expansion of Guangdong and Hebei provinces must be accelerated. We will try to open some stores in the middle of the year. This way, we still have hope. If we delay any longer, the hope will be small. "
Li Dong knocked on the table. He also wants to expand, but he is out of money.
He had spent 1.6 billion RMB in Beijing last time, and he still has 1 billion left.
This time, he is going to Shancheng, and he needs at least a few hundred million.
The profits from Faraway Supermarket and Far away Technology can only guarantee the expansion of Henan Province and the development of the logistics park.
Even Shanghai does not have the funds to continue the expansion, let alone the other areas.
Far away Technology still needs to expand the logistics park, and Far away Technology itself is still in the investment stage. All these need money to develop.
As for the money from the stock market, Li Dong borrowed 5 billion RMB, and he will save it for the peak of the financial crisis.
The problem of funds must be solved.
Li Dong thought of the financing plan last time and sighed. "How about this. We will hold a board meeting and talk about the financing."
"Financing …"
Sun Tao looked at him. This is the second time they are talking about financing.
The first time ended in failure. If Li Dong did not make up his mind, he will not start the second round of financing negotiations so soon.
Sun Tao thought for a moment and said: "Far away Technology is still the main focus?"
"No, we will focus on the mall, PP, and Weibo. We will not talk about the rest."
These three areas are more mature, and they can get the value they deserve.
For example, Wan Toon, games, video websites, distribution platforms … These projects are still in their infancy, and it is not cost-effective to use them for financing now.
Li Dong wants to see how much value he can get by focusing on the three areas of Weibo.
Weibo has more than 100 million registered users in the past few days, and it became the largest media platform in the country. It also left Sina far behind.
Compared to last year, the value of Weibo is more than ten times higher.
The same is true for the mall. Taking advantage of last year's snow, Far Away Mall's market share in the East China region has increased, and its overall strength has increased again.
Although the world's financial markets were not doing too well in 2008, Distance Group's shares rose against the trend. This also showed the strength of Distance Group.
Under this situation, Far Away did not suffer a big impact, and the value of several projects can be maximized.
Sun Tao heard this and thought for a moment before he asked: "Do you include logistics?"
Far Away Logistics was not famous last year, and it almost became a joke in the industry at the beginning of the snow.
However, after the snow disaster, Far Away Logistics displayed its amazing strength.
At this time, if Distance Logistics was added to the mix, it would further increase the added value of several industries, especially the shopping mall.
"No, don't include logistics first." Li Dong shook his head and said, "Now is not the time. The three I mentioned are enough."
Then, Li Dong said, "You will be in charge of the financing this time!"
"Me?"
Sun Tao was shocked and quickly asked, "What about CEO Yuan?"
"He will be the CEO. Don't worry about this first. Also, let Liu Hong participate in this, and the rest can do their own work."
"What about the supermarket …"
"Chen Lang will be in charge of the supermarket for the time being. There is no money in Shanghai now, and there is not much use for him to stay there."
Sun Tao did not continue asking this time, but his mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts.
He is in charge of the financing, and Chen Lang is in charge of the supermarket. What about after the financing ends?
After it ends, will Chen Lang continue to Shanghai or go somewhere else? Where should I go?
Not mentioning what Sun Tao was thinking, Li Dong said in the end, "I have to go to Sichuan for a few days to investigate. I will leave the group to you. I will not participate in the financing in the early stage, but I hope that there will be a good result."
Sun Tao quickly nodded. This time, Li Dong is serious, and he also hopes that there will be a good result.
