Chapter 631 Condemned by Microsoft

When Mr. Yang saw Fan Wubing and Ye Jiarong walking in hand in hand, his eyes really dropped out of his head.

He couldn't imagine why the wealthy people in Hong Kong were secretive about their scandals, but Fan Wubing was so high-profile, as if he was afraid that his affairs would not be known by the media.

"Mr. Fan, ha, Miss Ye, ha--" Mr. Yang rubbed his hands and didn't know what to say.

However, Fan Wubing smiled and waved his hand, and then he didn't say any more nonsense. Several people sat together and first solved Ye Jiarong's problem, changed the contract, and then discussed New Silk Road Entertainment Company and Eagle Emperor together. Regarding cooperation issues, a cooperation agreement has been roughly reached. The next step is to make some specific rules on the details of cooperation.

All in all, Ye Jiarong's matter has been resolved, and Mr. Yang's wish has been fulfilled. As for Xia Donghai, we can learn from many of Eagle Emperor's human resources and related experience, whether it is in terms of celebrity packaging or in the film and television industry. In terms of resources, there are great benefits.

After Xia Donghai went out to send Mr. Yang away, Ye Jiarong whispered to Fan Wubing, who was staying in the office, "The company doesn't seem to have any contractual restrictions on the private life of artists, right?"

Fan Wubing nodded and said, "We are different from Hong Kong companies. Artists' private life issues can be handled by themselves. If they want the company to help solve the problem, the company can also provide help. But if the artist himself does not want the company to intervene, We are also optimistic about the outcome.”

"You mean, if I find a boyfriend, the company won't ask anything about it?" Ye Jiarong asked in disbelief.

After experiencing the strict management of the Hong Kong company, Ye Jiarong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with the relaxed environment of the New Silk Road Entertainment Company, so he raised his questions to Fan Wubing.

Hong Kong companies generally control artists as much as possible and plan every activity of theirs. Even the love lives of many artists are part of the company’s hype. When do they need to talk about boyfriends? When do they need to have scandals? Nude photos need to be spread. These are all arranged, as if they are staged.

Fan Wubing naturally understood all this. Seeing Ye Jiarong's disbelief, he said to her, "Our company pays attention to humanized management and fully respects the choices made by artists. No matter who they are, they have the right to pursue their own goals." Happiness."

Seeing Ye Jiarong nodded, as if he had some understanding, Fan Wubing smiled again and said, "Of course, if I knew that Miss Ye was already looking for a boyfriend, I, like most male compatriots, would be jealous. Yes, hehe.”

Ye Jiarong's face turned red.

But he didn't say anything more.

In the afternoon, Director Li from BdL Home Appliance Group Company came to visit. He wanted to talk to Fan Wubing about cooperation in home appliances. The two companies reached some cooperation intentions on the sales issues of home appliance chain companies in various places. Director Li was interested in Fan Wubing is interested in the mobile phone manufacturer that can provide a package solution for mobile phone manufacturers, and is considering becoming Fan's mobile phone manufacturer and underwriter.

After Fan Wubing accompanied Director Li to inspect his mobile phone factory and research laboratory, Director Li's confidence was greatly enhanced. However, when talking about the Venus Project, Director Li was still a little hesitant. He felt that this Plans don’t have to be useless.

Director Li said to Fan Wubing, "In the domestic market, a monster will always appear every few years, such as brain gold. China's electronics industry is even more cyclical in the birth of monsters. The earlier one is the learning machine. The later ones are d. These products have strong Chinese characteristics and are impossible to appear in foreign markets. According to common sense, they were unimaginable and unexpected at the time. Now, Venus’s debut means nothing new. The arrival of another new monster after D? Judging from the current progress, Venus is likely to be such a monster. "

After listening to this, Fan Wubing felt that Director Li's analysis was unreasonable. Before the real set-top box based on cable TV network and digital TV system matures, Venus, a transitional product, is likely to play an extremely lively role. Role. Because this product is based on but has been transformed by the genius of domestic employees, and a lot of content with Chinese characteristics has been added, many of which are amazing.

The Internet is probably the most fascinating thing for people at the moment. In the minds of most people at present, the Internet is no less magical than Qigong back then. Internet access is a new dream for many people, so it is best to use Internet access as an appeal point for new home appliances.

However, it is obviously impossible to browse the web normally on ordinary people's TVs. However, such a problem is difficult for others, not necessarily for the Chinese. Every time like this, that is when the Chinese people’s high IQ comes into play.

According to Fan Wubing's understanding, Venus' concept of surfing the Internet is not real-time browsing in the usual sense, but has taken some measures to cleverly resolve the above problems.

For example, by adding a content editing process between users and content providers, the information collected by each website can be divided into categories and made into a format suitable for TV display. Users can subscribe to information categories of interest based on their hobbies, such as sports news, international news, weather forecasts, etc.

The content provider directly pushes the relevant content to the user based on the user's choice. In this way, as long as the user is connected to the phone line, he or she can receive the pushed content like an email. After the content is downloaded, the phone connection is disconnected and the content is cached. Users can slowly browse the offline content at a convenient time.

This kind of product under the banner of Internet is actually no longer the original concept of Internet. It is equivalent to adding a brand new channel to the TV, allowing you to enjoy content from the Internet. This is really a bit of a trick, but isn't it also a form of surfing the Internet?

Director Li said to Fan Wubing, "Using this method not only solves the display problem of the TV in one fell swoop, but also blocks the problems of excessive telecom charges and slow network. For ordinary people, it is a temporary expediency. Some people will say that it is impossible for ordinary people to fall for this trick. However, even Colivar can sell five million copies of "The Revolution of Learning" and Brain Gold can make 100 million people smart. For the Chinese people who regard the Internet as their dream, how can they resist the publicity and temptation of this Venus product? Therefore, I can fully believe that as long as there is sufficient market hype and investment, all real bottlenecks can be overcome. All problems can be solved skillfully with human wisdom. The market prospects of Project Venus will never be as pessimistic as imagined.”

After hearing this, Fan Wubing smiled and said, "Venus is obviously a transitional product, but as long as there is a market demand of two or three years, it will be enough to make this product popular, thereby launching the entire set-top box market, and continue to expand during the exhibition. Improvement and upgrade will lead to the rise of various information appliances. In a sense, it is a good thing for Microsoft to start this market. However, this market is extremely critical, but their estimate of the computer hardware market is a bit too low. ”

"How do you say this?" asked Director Li.

"The Venus Project is based on the low development of the domestic personal computer market and the Internet market. This is beyond doubt." Fan Wubing pointedly pointed out, "But whether it is the government or the , companies or companies are extremely enthusiastic about the Internet, and investment in hardware is also very large. The continued improvement of the domestic economy will cause the number of Internet users to increase exponentially. With the improvement of personal computer hardware, , as well as the reduction of domestic selling prices, coupled with the increase in Internet popularity, the obstacles restricting the development of the domestic Internet industry will be greatly resolved. In this case, the market cultivation period expected by the Venus Project has not yet passed, and the domestic market will not be over. The Internet market has matured, so do you think this plan still has a future?”

After listening to Fan Wubing's analysis, Director Li also felt that there was some truth to it, but he scratched his head and said, "Or, the network usage fee can't come down so quickly, right? The price of computer hardware can't come down too fast, right?"

"You don't need to discuss this with me, because I am engaged in this, so I naturally know where the bottom line is." Fan Wubing shook his head and smiled. In fact, he also saw that Director Li was a cheerful person and was about to have a cooperation project with him, so he decided I can't bear to see him take detours, otherwise if he were to invest in the Venus Project, he would always have to invest a lot of money and get no return.

While the two people were debating each other, a subordinate over there came over and reported to Fan Wubing, "Mr. Fan, the spokesperson of Microsoft, today publicly accused our company's S Club of condoning piracy. "

"Oh?" Fan Wubing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "What are they doing again? When did we condone piracy? Wouldn't that ruin our own jobs? How much software has our company produced now? They are all vigorously promoting genuine products!”

S Club has indeed recently launched a lot of software products, such as anti-virus software and educational software, which are selling very well, so it has recently begun to develop some industry software, and the future is bright. This statement of condoning piracy is indeed inappropriate.

"Mr. Fan, they mean that our company treats purchasers differently when it comes to S series products." His subordinate explained to Fan Wubing.
