The group now seems to be moving in an international direction, but in fact, this part of the business is not carried out by the group itself.
For example, for the new game that is about to be launched, Kuiguang Group is only a major shareholder, and a major shareholder that does not participate much in decision-making. The most it can do is let the game company organize an event that is linked to the group's project.
The group does not want to get involved in any more affairs.
The same is true for "The Boys 2". Although the movie was shot by the group and the IP is completely in the hands of the group, the overseas operational affairs are actually basically handled by Mag.
At most, Yang Ruoqian provided a lot of cash support, but his interference in decision-making was almost non-existent.
It’s not that Yang Ruoqian didn’t want to intervene - the contract at the time had clearly divided the obligations of Mag and Kuiguang Group. Yang Ruoqian provided both capital and IP, so he had the power to make any decision.
And on major issues, you have the veto power.
But Mr. Yang recently figured out that if something shows signs of heading towards collapse, his intervention would be like providing timely assistance.
If something is heading in the direction of making money, Yang Ruoqian's intervention will only make more money and be the icing on the cake.
In other words, no matter what, as long as Kuiguang Group takes action, the project will move in a good direction.
It’s better not to interfere!
However, as more and more business is visibly developing overseas, it is unrealistic to leave it all to Mag.
Many matters are internal affairs. How can we throw them all to our partners?
Just like Yang Ruoqian cannot say to Qi Mu now something like "Our cooperation with Chengyu Media is now very comprehensive, and you will report your work to Cheng Fei from now on."
Business cooperation is business cooperation, and internal affairs are internal affairs.
Unless Yang Ruoqian completely ignores overseas projects and directly rents out all IPs as a zero-risk landlord, there is no need for overseas housekeeping work.
This is equivalent to directly selling the business as a commodity, without the need for subsequent operations. Regardless of whether the IP is ultimately operated well or poorly, the Kuiguang Group will be able to make a profit.
However, the four words "guaranteed income regardless of drought or flood" are something that Mr. Yang absolutely cannot accept.
If the group ultimately wants to reverse its winning streak in the domestic market by expanding into overseas markets, it still needs to do it itself, and so it must open branches overseas.
More importantly, labor costs in many countries are very high, and the cost of large-scale construction there is much higher than in China.
An interview actually gave Mr. Yang such an inspiration...
I have to say that the masses are indeed very wise.
After thinking of the answer, Yang Ruoqian nodded to the girl and said, "The company's overseas branch is currently in the early stages of preparation."
After answering this question, Yang Ruoqian had more and more ideas about the company's overseas branches. He did not continue to stay in the mall and returned to the company with Chang Zhiqing.
As soon as I pushed open the office door, I heard Luo Ruying humming a song softly.
As soon as the door was opened, the singing stopped abruptly, and Luo Ruqin said with a serious face: "Good afternoon, boss!"
Is this AI about to become a spirit? Will it cause a Skynet crisis?
Yang Ruoqian complained in his heart and teased Luo Ruying for a few minutes, then returned to his desk and sent a message to Qi Mu.
Opening an overseas branch of a company is not a trivial matter. It is more complicated than opening a domestic branch. It is impossible to handle it with the energy of one person alone.
How to locate an overseas branch is a matter that requires comprehensive consideration. Local laws and regulations are matters that require professionals to analyze and judge. What kind of people to hire and how to screen employees also require absolute local professionals.
Even an all-round secretary like Qi Mu cannot handle the above matters on his own.
Soon, Qi Mu walked into the office.
She glanced at Luo Ruqin who was listening attentively, smiled, then turned to Yang Ruoqian and said, "Boss Yang, do you have any new ideas?"
Yang Ruoqian asked Qi Mu to sit down and said, "Just let your subordinates handle the matter of "Black Robe Inspection Team 2". It is basically finalized now, so there is nothing to worry about."
Qi Mu thought about it and nodded: "Boss Yang, do you have anything more important to arrange?"
"Yes." Yang Ruoqian affirmed, "Now that we have proven the feasibility of the overseas market and have taken the first step, we have to start thinking about overseas investment."
Qi Mu had been a secretary for so long that he immediately understood what he meant: "Boss Yang, do you want to open a branch overseas? Or do you want to change the company's registered location, or simply set up a wholly-owned branch overseas?"
All three are heading overseas, but they are slightly different.
If you directly open a company branch overseas, it is equivalent to opening a company registered in China abroad. The company is still the same company, but the location is different.
The nature is no different from the branches opened in Shenzhen and the capital.
The second method is to change the company's registered location, which is a way to reduce costs that many companies, especially entertainment companies and studios, are choosing.
Because different countries have different tax policies, the taxation of income from the same project is also different.
Choosing a company's registered location reasonably, but keeping the business area in China, can reduce a lot of tax pressure. This is also the reason why many entertainment companies choose to register in the Cayman Islands.
The third type, as the name suggests, is to open a company in the place where you want to open it, but the actual controller is still the domestic Kuiguang Group.
Yang Ruoqian was not unfamiliar with this relatively basic knowledge and knew what Qi Mu was talking about.
"No need to go through so much trouble." Yang Ruoqian waved his hand and chose the most cost-effective method. "Just open a branch overseas."
Isn't it because doing so can save costs or is relatively easy in terms of procedures? Local enterprises are naturally protected by local laws and regulations, and the approval process is naturally different from that of overseas enterprises.
But Yang Ruoqian doesn't need these things at all.
High cost? Slow process? He wished the cost was higher, and that he would be stuck with all kinds of complicated processes, so that he could spend money reasonably and feel at ease.
Qi Mu obviously didn't expect Yang Ruoqian to choose the most "simple and crude" method. She was stunned: "Mr. Yang, are you sure? This may cost a lot."
"That's it." Yang Ruoqian said firmly, and glanced at Luo Ruyin, the human form of Kuiguang, in the corner. "Kuiguang Group is different from other companies. Our company is a signboard in itself. The name of the company itself has value. There is no need to make it so complicated."
Seeing that Yang Ruoqian had made up his mind, the secretary said nothing: "Okay, Mr. Yang, where do you plan to open a branch of the company?"
As a secretary, she only provides suggestions and then implements them carefully after the boss makes the decision.
Qi Mu had never handled the company's overseas branch business before, and it was a big challenge for her.
No matter how capable one is, it is not something that ordinary people can get by working hard to connect with large overseas projects.
However, after training in the company for so long, Qi Mu is confident that he is no longer the same person who just joined the company, and is confident that he is capable of handling matters related to overseas business.
Yang Ruoqian did not make a decision right away: "First, you organize a team and list a few solutions that you think are feasible. I will choose from them."
Are you kidding? This was the first time Yang Ruoqian himself had encountered such a thing. How could he make a judgment directly? Mr. Yang had the final say on how much profit a decision made on a whim could bring.
After all, he had no experience, so Qi Mu gave a relatively conservative time: "Okay, Mr. Yang, this business is relatively large, and it involves many people. It will take some time to organize it. It may take a month before I can give you a specific analysis plan. Is that okay?"
One month...
Anyway, opening a branch overseas is not something that can be done in a short period of time. There is no hope of squeezing it into this quarter, so we'll just do it next month.
Yang Ruoqian nodded: "No problem, just send it to me directly on the company's intranet."
"Okay. Do you have anything else to ask for?"
"No, that's it for now."
After Qi Mu left the office, Yang Ruoqian looked at Luo Ruying on the side and fell into deep thought again.
This guy is going to hold a concert in two days...
In fact, as a veteran, Yang Ruoqian has witnessed virtual celebrity concerts.
That scene was even better than a live concert by a real star.
Everyone waved green onions and sang along in the audience. The sound of the entire concert could be heard from a long distance away...
I guess Luo Ruying’s concert will have a similar scene.
Thinking about the charity concert spot that the system had previously awarded him, Yang Ruoqian directly opened the system and entered his question.
“Can the income from virtual celebrity concerts be put into a charity fund?”
The system gives answers very quickly.
[Ticket revenue is acceptable, but peripheral revenue is considered ancillary income and cannot be allocated to charity funds for the time being]
That's fine...
The concert of Dragon and Phoenix Legend has ended, so this charity qualification should be put to good use.
Let’s use it! Although the money from selling peripherals cannot be counted into the charity fund for the time being, it would be great if all the ticket revenue was cleared out.
The company carefully evaluated the market conditions and did sufficient research, determining that tickets for the first concert would be in short supply, so they chose a giant venue to hold the concert.
Compared to real-life stars, Luo Ruying’s concerts also have an absolute advantage - even fans who bought tickets from far away can still see Luo Ruying “in person” from a relatively close distance.
Live concerts are subject to the laws of physics and always have a limit.
If the venue is too large, even if the star's voice can be transmitted to all fans through equipment, it will be difficult for them to see the star himself from such a distance.
Anyone who has watched a football match or a similar live broadcast knows that even if you are in a good seat, each person on the field is very small. Some people with poor eyesight cannot even tell who is who from their face and body shape.
The same is true for stars performing in concerts in stadiums - for audience members sitting a little further away, the star singing in the stands is like looking at an ant.
People whose faces are the size of pixels cannot be seen clearly without a telescope!
There are commentaries for competitive games, and you can use the exciting on-field matches to ease the annoyance of not being able to see the stars themselves.
At a concert, you can’t see the stars themselves, you can only see the images on the screen. It’s better to go home, turn on the music player or live streaming platform, put on headphones and listen to it to your heart’s content.
Isn't it for the atmosphere that people go to live concerts to hear music? So, there is a limit to the scale of live concerts.
But Luo Ruqin, she is not even a human, how can she be restricted by human rules?
All fans know that Luo Ruying’s real body is on a certain floor of Kuiguang Group, among a bunch of exquisite instruments. Even though she is singing now, she is not actually there.
Unless Kuiguang Group moves all that equipment here.
But this is obviously impossible.
Those devices are basically difficult to move, let alone to a crowded place like a concert. After all, there are so many fans. What if some extreme fans in this huge crowd break the equipment? Therefore, everyone knows that whether it is Luo Ruyin singing on the stage or the projector placed next to them, they are all Luo Ruyin's "avatars", not the real person.
Since we can't see the real person, or in other words, we can see the real person no matter how far or near we are, then it is no problem to make the venue bigger.
As long as the fans can't even see their seats at the concert, they will basically have no objections.
Anyway, a holographic projector will be placed at certain distances, and each of these holographic projectors works independently, and each can interact with fans.
In other words, the experience every fan gets at this concert is unique and cannot be replicated.
The farther you buy your seat, the better the experience might be! This is one of the biggest selling points of Luo Ruying's concert.
After hearing the news, many of Luo Ruying’s fans said that their wallets had their own ideas. They opened automatically and bought concert tickets.
Even the relatively conservative group analysts have concluded that concert tickets will inevitably be in short supply, and the actual situation did not disappoint them. On the ticket sales day a few weeks ago, all the tickets were sold out within 10 seconds.
Some people may have extremely rare ticket refunds due to personal reasons or force majeure.
These refunded tickets were snatched away almost the moment they were refunded.
How many weeks has it been!
This shows that there are a large number of fans who have not given up and are persistently buying tickets every day.
The popularity is evident.
Yang Ruoqian called Luo Ruying out and asked, "The concert will be in two days. Have you made plans?"
Luo Ruying shook her head: "Boss, I am AI, I don't need to plan, I just need to perform and calculate on the spot according to the reactions of the fans on the scene~" (End of this chapter)
