After discussing the matter, the dinner ended.
Chen Qing saw Mo Yiling off, got in her car in the parking lot, and returned to her residence nearby.
Jiang Shanwu sat next to his boss, waiting for the car to start. He listened to Chen Qing's instructions about the agreement reached with Mo Yiling during dinner, and looked surprised: "Mr. Chen, is it 300 million US dollars, not 300 million yuan?"
Chen Qing nodded: "Yes."
Jiang Shanwu still felt that it was a bit exaggerated: "Three hundred million US dollars in two years, which is almost 2.5 billion yuan. Even if the city is very determined, the planned science and technology park cannot absorb so much in the short term, unless it is all handed over to our family?" "
Chen Qing curled her lips: "Do you remember a sentence from your early years?"
"what?"
“As bold as a man is, so fruitful is the land.”
Jiang Shanwu laughed: "Mr. Chen, the fact is that following this slogan in production will not lead to good results."
"Of course I know," Chen Qing said, "but you don't seem to understand that the key to this sentence is how productive the land is."
Jiang Shanwu blinked his eyes and felt instantly grasped: "Land... property?"
Chen Qing reached out and pinched Jiang Shanwu's fair face: "Smart."
Jiang Shanwu shrank his neck and thought about how satisfied Zhu Momo's mother was when she left. She couldn't help but sigh that her boss was still more skilled.
However, when it comes to real estate, she only knows that the Westeros system has spread so much in China. Chen Qing mentioned it to her last time before going to the United States, and thought it might be a bit too much. Now, why is her attitude different? So sure
It soon became clear again.
Obviously, it should be the decision of the big boss on the other side of the ocean.
For example, the calligraphy that Chen Qing had just hung in the study room of her residence two days ago was from "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. Of course she understood what it meant, but she was still curious and asked a few more questions. Chen Qing's explanation was also very vivid, and in the end Good business is to get in early and let others chase you instead of you chasing others.
This is quite consistent with the big boss's development of the Internet industry back then. It may also be the same now when he is investing heavily in China's real estate in advance.
The most critical thing in the real estate industry is capital.
Most real estate companies are very dependent on external funds, or loans to be precise. Therefore, once the market is sluggish, they may run into the risk of cash flow shortage or even rupture.
In comparison, even if they are equally interested in loans, at the same time, the proportion of their own funds invested in the Westeros system is quite high, and there is no pressure from high loan interest rates. Even if the industry is in recession, they can deal with it relatively calmly.
With this in mind, Jiang Shanwu didn't talk any more. She just wrote down Chen Qing's instructions to contact the district government tomorrow, and then took out a document from her bag: "Mr. Chen, this is the document I just received this afternoon. Information, regarding the first week sales data of Sony’s game console PS2 in the United States, I think it can be used for some operations in the country, which will help alleviate the pressure on our online game business.”
Chen Qing took the folder and opened it, browsing quickly.
Sony's second-generation game console, PlayStation 2, was already rumored last year. It was first launched in Japan on March 10 this year, and three weeks later, on March 31, it was launched in North America.
Chen Qing had paid attention in advance. The main thing was that in the Westeros system, Tinker Bayer will release its own game console this Saturday. A lot of news has been released one after another, so it is conceivable that traditional games Console manufacturers, such as Nintendo, Sony and others, are definitely facing serious enemies.
This can be seen from the pace of launch of Sony PS2.
Under normal circumstances, Japanese electronic products will first be launched in Japan, and then gradually introduced to other markets, ranging from a few months to a year or two.
Speaking of which, this phenomenon is also touted by some people in China as the Japanese always give the best things to their own families first. In fact, anyone with a little bit of brains should understand that this argument is not in line with the capital of business people. logic. In the final analysis, there is only one reason, cost.
Releasing a product in multiple markets at the same time is not something that can be decided on the head. Whether it is production or marketing, it requires a lot of expenditure. If it fails, the money will be wasted.
Therefore, by first launching products in your own market, you can control costs on the one hand, and on the other hand, you can also collect enough market feedback, such as whether the product itself has flaws or room for improvement, whether the marketing strategy is appropriate, and how to judge the approximate demand. The total amount can be used to arrange production according to other markets, and so on.
Taken together, it is obvious that Japanese manufacturers give their products to their own families first, instead of keeping the best things for themselves. To put it bluntly, they use their own families as guinea pigs first.
This is beside the point.
Sony's first-generation console was launched in Japan and North America half a year apart. This time, the launch interval between PS2 in Japan and North America was only three weeks. People familiar with the related fields will understand the connection at a glance. Japan People are obviously worried about Tinker Bayer's upcoming game console, so much so that they would rather take risks to enter the North American market in advance.
Thinking about this, Chen Qing has also seen the first week sales data of Sony PS2 in North America from March 31 to April 6.
The PS2 is priced at US$299 in the United States. In the first week after it was put on the shelves, the total sales of this game console, including the console, accessories and several new games released by Sony, reached US$270 million. Among them, the sales volume of the most critical game console was 320,000 units, sales of 97 million, accounting for 35% of total revenue.
Not to mention other things, 270 million U.S. dollars, converted into RMB, is as high as 2.2 billion.
This is obviously the data that Jiang Shanwu said can be used to hype in the media: Look at people, a game console has generated 2.2 billion yuan in revenue just one week after it was put on the shelves. This is an industry, this is a giant. Wu Ba. In comparison, Jiangnan Interactive Entertainment’s annual revenue is only 800 million yuan. What does it count? Moreover, a Japanese game console is selling well in the United States, earning 2.2 billion in one week. You can also imagine how great the potential of the video game industry is, and how much tax revenue, employment, and GDP it can bring to the country in the future. Isn’t this enough? Is it worth supporting
Obviously, as long as it operates properly, the domestic online game industry will definitely face much less pressure from all aspects.
As for the launch of PS2 in the United States, is it a success
Just comparing it with Japan, it is very obvious.
On March 10, PS2 was released in Japan. On its first day of release, revenue from all aspects reached US$130 million. In the entire week, Sony quickly earned US$560 million.
As the world's largest electronic game consumer market, the first-week sales of PS2 and related peripherals in the United States are less than half of those in Japan, which has a much smaller market. Therefore, it is conceivable that in addition to cultural and other factors, Tinker Bayer is about to launch The game console is definitely a very important reason. After all, in recent years, Tinkerber's iCam, iPlayer, iRec, etc. have directly competed with various traditional Japanese electronic products, and defeated them.
This time, relying on the brand advantages accumulated over the years, as long as Tinco Bayer’s game console is not too bad, in fact, it will definitely not be too bad. Then, for the major established game console manufacturers, this will It is likely to be a crushing disaster similar to iCam to film cameras, iPlayer to Walkman, and iRec to Super 8 cameras.
After quickly reading the information in his hand, Chen Qing saw the car entering his mansion. Chen Qing closed the folder and handed it to Jiang Shanwu next to her, and said: "Tinko Bayer will also release a game console, do you know?"
Jiang Shanwu nodded.
Chen Qing continued: "Combining the two game consoles together, focusing on the scale of the overseas game industry, we will make a plan as soon as possible."
Jiang Shanwu agreed, lowered his head and wrote down in the memo, and the car had stopped in front of the villa.
After getting off the car and entering the door, Mother Chen immediately greeted her with a little baby in her arms. Because she really felt that her daughter had a strange nickname, such as a certain nickname, and because of her pity and love for her little granddaughter, Mother Chen often came over to help take care of the child.
Walking closer, she noticed the faint smell of alcohol on Chen Qing's body, and Chen's mother suddenly frowned: "Drinking again?"
"I just had a few glasses of red wine with Aunt Mo and the others," Chen Qing said, having already taken the little guy from the reluctant mother's hands, and leaned her forehead against her affectionately: "Have you missed Mom?"
Probably because she didn't think much about it, the little girl immediately started crying, and Mother Chen immediately stepped forward to snatch her away.
Chen Qing reluctantly let go. Seeing that the little girl stopped crying immediately after returning to her grandmother's arms, she became even more depressed. She reached out to pinch the girl's cheek, but her mother opened it and could only say sadly: "I'm going to take a bath." , Mom, you can take the children to bed early."
Mother Chen originally had something to say, but when she saw that her daughter was already walking towards the stairs, she could only sigh.
In fact, I want to ask a certain son-in-law who is also unknown. Although my daughter just came back from the United States some time ago, Chen Qing also mentioned that she would come over there when the peach blossoms are in bloom in the film and television city.
Now, the peach blossoms are almost gone, why haven’t they come yet
Mother Chen's thoughts are certainly not for clinging to others. The current prosperity of the Chen family has reached a level that Mother Chen never even expected. She only hopes that the man can be more caring about her daughter and granddaughter. At least you can't just show up a few times a year, right
On the other side, Chen Qing actually noticed that her mother was hesitant to speak, and she could probably guess it, but she didn't know what to say. My boss said before that the peach blossom season would come, but plans never keep up with changes. Recently, it seems that there are some things being arranged. Whether we can catch up depends on the specific schedule.
Now that she has followed a certain man, Chen Qing has always been very clear about the situation she will face. She never thought that she would get along with him day and night like ordinary people, let alone suffer from any loneliness.
When they came to the bathroom upstairs, Jiang Yuanchi had already put the water in, and Jiang Shanwu followed. Chen Qing entered the bathtub and quickly pulled the two sisters in together.
The next day is Friday, April 14th.
After getting up early, Chen Qing ate breakfast and rushed to the nearby Suzhou headquarters of Jinshu Media. There were two production meetings in the morning, one about "Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon" and one about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Based on constant deliberations during this period, the tone for the filming of "The Brahmaputra Grand Canyon" was finally set.
Different from the previous "Everest", to put it simply, it is about "challenging the limits and proving yourself". It focuses more on people and the pursuit of life as gorgeous as summer flowers. And this "Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon" will focus on the "scenery", which is worthy of the power of nature and appreciates the magic of objects and scenery.
A change in tone naturally means risks.
However, both his boss, Chen Qing, and other capital related to this project all appreciated Yu Xiaomin's plan.
This production meeting is to initially finalize the script.
Yes, documentaries are scripted, just like reality shows. However, the specific shooting process, compared to the movie, will definitely have many adjustments, and it is impossible to follow the rules step by step.
In addition, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has also been promoted to a national-level project due to the great success of "Dragon" in North America.
The series is still in the casting stage recently.
Because the male protagonist of "Dragon" was promoted to the Overlord of Chu in Zhang Guoshi's "Chu-Han" trilogy, although the matter was finalized before the series became popular in North America, many people took it for granted that the causal relationship was confirmed, so that even now They are some inconspicuous minor characters in "The Condor", and famous actors from all over are competing for them.
Chen Qing kept an eye on it personally to ensure that no one would mess around. Or, of course, not absolutely, for example, well, the only one who can act recklessly is his own boss.
At noon, I made an appointment with Ren Jingxi for lunch. Ren Jingxi also came to Suzhou from the capital for the "Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon" project in the morning, and he also brought Mo Wuling with him. After such a long time, even though there were not many opportunities to get along, Chen Qing gradually became aware of some differences between the two girls, but she did not expose them.
Lily is amazing, my boss likes it the most, especially the beautiful lilies that bloom side by side.
Then, compared to Chen's mother who couldn't ask the question last night, Ren Jingxi calmly asked someone during lunch whether he had come to China recently.
Simon often comes to see the peach blossoms during the peach blossom season.
However, Ren Jingxi felt that maybe he had come quietly and left quietly.
Ren Jingxi was not disappointed when he learned from Chen Qing that the other party had not come over yet. Instead, he subconsciously planned to stay here for a few more days. After all, there are still a lot of things related to Huanzhu Film and Television that need to be dealt with here, and the reasons are very good. Moreover, if we can meet him, I still want to discuss with him, for example, the new name of my company.
Perhaps because of being missed, in the afternoon, Chen Qing was participating in an investment meeting for a daily chemical project. When she received a short notice, she immediately put down her work and ran to pick up the plane.
Simon's schedule is indeed very temporary. He had no plans to come this year. After all, the peach blossom season is almost over.
However, while dealing with matters in Australia and looking at the map, Simon came up with an idea that had been brewing for some time, so he rearranged his itinerary and came to China first.
