After achieving his goal, Jiang Qianfan seemed much more relaxed, but he boiled another pot of water and made tea.

Lu Hao thought that was the end of it, but he didn't expect that he seemed to have something else to say. He pondered for a moment and waited patiently.

Although today's conversation did not overturn Lu Hao's impression of Jiang Qianfan, it did improve Lu Hao's impression of him from another perspective.

Sure enough, those who can start from scratch and become business tycoons are definitely not ordinary people.

I have a cheat, a very big one, I have a system, the memories of my past life, and the cultural accumulation of a planet.

But people like them are real natives who have risen to the top through their own talents and wisdom.

"Mr. Jiang, do you have any other questions?"

Thinking about this, Lu Hao couldn't help but ask, taking the initiative to bring up the topic.

Jiang Qianfan looked at him deeply and said with a smile, "I don't deserve your advice, but I just have a little experience that I want to share with Mr. Lu."

"Dream Video is launching a fundraising campaign at this time, and the scale is quite large. Is it trying to acquire all the copyrights in the film and television industry?"

After talking about personal matters, we talked about company development.

This is indeed the focus of Dream Video's next stage of development. Although it was not explicitly stated in the financing announcement and Ma Fangzhou's speech, those who are interested can still guess it.

Lu Hao was not surprised that Jiang Qianfan could guess this.

"It's just an idea, but how difficult is it to realize it?"

Lu Hao said modestly.

In fact, it is really difficult.

Anyone who knows this will know that it is a very promising thing. It will take the online video business completely into its own hands and almost achieve a monopoly effect.

The economic benefits are naturally needless to say.

But, over the years, no one has ever been able to do it.

Because it is so difficult, whether it is the funds, copyrights, or all the relationships involved, they are all complicated.

The key point is that even if they are brought together, it may not be profitable.

The high bandwidth costs of video websites themselves are enough to cause trouble. Without a clear profit model, no one dares to do such a thing.

Even Dream Video relied on the short video entry point to expand its scale first, and then began to penetrate long videos.

“It’s really difficult.”

"The Chinese have always been like this. When they see a lucrative business, as long as one person does it, the second person will quickly follow, then the third, the fourth... A business that originally had good prospects quickly becomes a red ocean due to the large number of players, and quickly enters a mode of involutionary competition. If the market wasn't so huge, it would be impossible to play at all."

Jiang Qianfan sighed and hit the nail on the head.

Internet companies that have grown by burning money in recent years have all followed a similar development path.

In fact, many businesses can be successful in ten or eight years if they rely on steady progress and refined operations.

But, no.

If you want to take it slow, others won't allow you to do so. They rush into development, taking one step at a time, and then you're in a fierce hand-to-hand competition, where both sides suffer losses and end up in a mess.

"Does Mr. Jiang have any good suggestions?"

Lu Hao smiled and asked again.

Everyone knows the truth and everyone can find the problem, but only those who can propose solutions are true entrepreneurs.

Jiang Qianfan has been around for decades longer than himself, and Lu Hao also wants to see his insights in this regard.

However, to Lu Hao's surprise, Jiang Qianfan didn't discuss any strategic matters. Instead, he smiled and said, "Qilin Films can open up its entire copyright library and share it with DreamWorks. Is this a good suggestion?"

This news was completely beyond Lu Hao's expectations.

The first thing that comes to mind is - why?

As I said, business is business and favors are favors. Both parties have already settled the favors, so why would he be so willing to give them up now?

"What conditions?"

Lu Hao responded casually.

Copyright libraries have always been the lifeblood of every film and television company, especially for the nine giants in the current film and television industry, which are definitely an extremely tough nut to crack.

"No conditions."

Jiang Qianfan replied.

Lu Hao also laughed.

"Then I dare not accept it. Free things are the most expensive."

"No, let's talk about the terms."

If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Lu Hao doesn't believe that someone like Jiang Qianfan would do such a losing business.

This could be a licensing fee of at least nine figures or even as high as ten figures. Even if he was impulsive, the board of directors behind him would not agree to the deal.

Jiang Qianfan lit a cigarette, puffed out a long puff of smoke, stood up, and stood in front of the window of the reception room on the 39th floor, looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside.

"Copyright libraries are a stock market. Although there's still money to be made, it's not much, and there's no point in making it. I need to take a broader view and have a longer-term perspective. I value the future more."

"Does Mr. Lu know?"

"There's already a cinema chain in North America that's raised $1 billion in angel funding. They're focusing on the online box office market and have also launched a home theater-style VR virtual experience device. Having experienced this pandemic, I think this will become the mainstream way of watching movies in the future. After all, for moviegoers, watching movies is a necessary spiritual entertainment activity, but going to the cinema is not."

Jiang Qianfan said slowly.

Lu Hao fell silent.

To be honest, he really didn't know this news.

When I was chatting with Ma Fangzhou before, I had vaguely thought about these things. The model of selling tickets online for watching movies is one of the ultimate goals of Dream Video's development. I just didn't expect that someone in the North American market has already started doing this.

And it seems to be doing pretty well.

VR virtual viewing equipment.

One billion US dollars in angel round financing!

One is the feasibility of the equipment, and the other is the continuous financial motivation. Once it is promoted, the development speed will surely be very fast.

"You voted?"

Lu Hao took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and asked calmly.

Jiang Qianfan didn't look back and slowly uttered three words.

"I did it."

Investing and doing are two completely different concepts.

One is to serve as capital and share the results of the company's development.

The other is to be the founder and treat it as his own business.

The strength of mind, wisdom, determination and courage contained therein are naturally completely different.

"I'm telling Mr. Lu this for two reasons. First, Dream Video can also develop along this path. Having more players isn't a bad thing. Besides, I'm in North America and you're in China."

"Even if you go to North America in the future, or I come to China, it won't be a problem. The market is so big that it can accommodate two tigers. What's more, without competition, there is no development."

"The second purpose."

"I need your movie. No matter how powerful the theater chain is, it still needs good content. Among Chinese movies right now, apart from you, there's really no one who can compete in the North American market."
