Chapter 816

Name:Hollywood Hunter Author:Just Do
Simon stayed in San Francisco until Saturday afternoon, returning to Los Angeles to spend the weekend with women and children, and on Monday he set off again for the east coast.

Today is May 15.

The spring TV show is basically over.

May is the month when the major TV networks and production companies have finalized the new year's TV program production plan. As the TV industry center on the east coast, all kinds of TV program promotion meetings are held in New York during this period, so that large and small production companies can promote their TV programs to TV stations.

Now that the acquisition of ABC has been started, it is no surprise that the merger will be completed in the second half of the year. Therefore, the TV Department of danielis entertainment has to take precautions to ensure a smooth transition in the shortest time after winning the ABC TV network, instead of the stable situation that Tom Murphy and Warren Buffett experienced several years of turbulence.

The core of TV network is always content.

So this may is crucial.

Simon left on the west coast on Monday morning, while the man was still on the plane. Another news released on the Internet portal and traditional media after discussion with igritte's management last week has aroused wide attention and discussion.

It's still going to start in Washington.

Unknowingly, in the middle of 1995, the early campaign of the 1996 US presidential election has begun.

Since taking office, although there have been various troubles and scandals, Clinton has been basically trying to fulfill his election promises.

The problem is still economy!

With the recovery of the U.S. economy, the federal unemployment rate has been declining over the past three years, from nearly 8% before Clinton took office in 1992 to about 5% at the present stage.

Moreover, the rise of the new technology industry has become the highlight of the Clinton administration.

In order to warm up next year's election, the White House recently plans to organize a gathering of new technology industry leaders in Washington, mainly to publicize the great success of the Federation in this field to the outside world.

After last year's mid-term elections, Simon did not intend to interfere too much in next year's presidential election.

However, with the tacit understanding between the Westeros system and the Clintons over a long period of time, it is impossible for the new round of presidential campaign not to help each other at all. It is inevitable to give the white house some "small gifts" occasionally. Taking advantage of the upcoming gathering of new technology industry leaders, igritte officially released the operation data of igritte's outsourcing platform, which has been online for just half a year, on Monday.

In the six months since its launch, igrit outsourcing platform has activated membership by completing at least one paid outsourcing task, with a total of 1.67 million people, 12.29 million outsourcing orders and a total of US $127 million in remuneration.

After the release of the data, the bright or even dazzling data directly destroyed many conservative arguments about the excessive development of the Internet industry will affect the real employment.

Even though the average remuneration of each active member from igrit outsourcing platform is only $76 in half a year, such a part-time platform, which has been online for only six months, has brought more than 12 million job opportunities to more than one million people in a short time. This alone is enough to show the great potential of new technology industry to change human society.

Not only that, but igritte also played up some details.

The most important one is that more than 90% of the 1.67 million active members are in the United States, and 12.29 million outsourcing orders are naturally the same.

Moreover, if only relying on the natural development of the industry in a short period of six months, it is certainly impossible to have an average of more than 60000 outsourcing orders per day. This is actually the result of the deliberate promotion of the whole westero system, including keeping most of the outsourcing orders in the United States for the time being, rather than using cheap overseas labor as much as possible to minimize costs according to the preliminary planning.

All in all, this is a disguised subsidy scheme jointly developed by many companies in the westero system.

Or subsidies.

At this stage, in fact, many Internet companies have launched a subsidy war. In order to attract users, Simon spared no effort. Although he knew the benefits of doing so, he also understood that it was the inevitable cost to promote the rapid development of the industry. However, compared with giving away, he would certainly get the best results through a certain amount of labor.

What you get for free is often not treasured.

As a result, igrit outsourcing platform, together with a number of new technology enterprises in the westero system, jointly promoted this disguised subsidy scheme.

In terms of specific implementation, after the company selects the user data, the system will automatically pick out the qualified users, and actively send the outsourcing task invitation to the target through e-mail, or image classification mark, or web page information editing, or commodity data entry. Generally speaking, as long as the user can use the computer, it can be easy Done.

After completing a paid task, the relevant user will automatically activate the outsourcing platform account.

On the other hand, igritte has made a small restriction on the withdrawal details after payment. The minimum withdrawal limit for users is $100. However, in the past six months, the average user only got $76 from igritte platform, and most of them can't reach the withdrawal standard.Although it is impossible to withdraw cash, users can use the money to buy any goods they want in igritte's related software stores, game stores, online stores and other platforms, and can also pay for AOL's network fees, or pay for blockbuster's video rental fees, and so on. As a result, most of the remuneration paid by igrit through outsourcing orders returned to his own hands.

The final result of the implementation of this scheme is that many manually edited web pages, images, audio and other files, such as the search engine, online shopping mall and even the peripheral broadcast website of igritte company, can be quickly completed with low cost.

Especially search engines.

Igritte's search engine team has been continuously optimizing its search algorithm for several years, so as to let users get the highest quality content and improve the user experience to the greatest extent.

However, the algorithm can be optimized continuously, and the machine can't have the ability of human automatic classification and recognition after all, so it needs to manually classify massive information, including web pages, pictures, audio, video and so on. After marking, the search engine team further optimizes the system algorithm through the marked content, and the ultimate goal is to train the automatic recognition ability of the system, which is also called artificial intelligence.

This is Simon's inspiration for the igritte search engine team based on the fragmentary information in his memory.

In fact, distance education is similar to early education for children.

Teach children basic knowledge through the numbers and words on some building block cards to a certain extent. When these marks appear anywhere else, children can recognize them.

At this stage, many enterprises have tried to develop search engines, and many websites have launched search functions. However, through more advanced search ideas and spare no effort to invest a huge amount of money, the Google search engine of igritte has been out of the dust, and quickly formed a monopoly effect unconsciously.

Among them, the basic marking work of a large amount of subsidies and money burning on igrit outsourcing platform has contributed a lot.

Not only that, this scheme also adds millions of new users to ygrit's online payment tool ypay, because activation of ypay is a prerequisite for users to receive tasks. In the process of issuing tasks, priority is given to users who are active enough and have not opened ypay.

Finally, because most of the users' remuneration does not meet the withdrawal standard, and igritte's deliberate guidance, these people often choose to spend on ystore, steam, Amazon, broadcast and other platforms. In addition to reclaiming most of the funds, they also develop a large number of potential consumers for the field of e-commerce.

Online shopping is easy to be addicted, which has been proved in Simon's memory.

Now, as long as you have experienced the first time, you will naturally start the second time, the third time, the fourth time When the remuneration paid by the outsourcing platform can not meet the consumer demand, users will naturally open their pockets.

Igritte tracks related user account dynamics, and the results also prove this point.

In a word, through this plan, igritte not only obtained more than 1 million cheap labor, helped many new technology companies under the westero system to complete a lot of work, further optimized the search engine and other businesses, but also developed its own online payment and e-commerce businesses.

Now, the implementation of this plan has become a major bright spot in the development of new science and technology industry.

Even if the multimedia is keen to find out the problem and points out that the average salary of $76 per person for half a year can't change anything at all, but this is just the beginning. An emerging field can grow to such a scale in half a year, and will feed millions of people in the future. Who dares to say that it is impossible?

What's more, this is just the tip of the iceberg that has brought a lot of job opportunities to the society after the rise of new technology industry in recent years.

It is not hard to imagine that at the upcoming gathering of new technology industry leaders, as long as Mr. President plays out this series of data in the process of his speech, it will be enough to cause a lot of cheers and applause.

When igritte released the news in the morning, the relevant news was immediately reprinted on the official Facebook account of the White House, which kept up with the trend of the times. At the same time, I don't forget to mention the efforts made by the president in recent years to promote the new technology industry.

Moreover, affected by this obviously good news, after the opening of the East Coast Stock Market in the new week, the NASDAQ technology stock market once again showed an obvious upward trend. The topic of igritte IPO, because of the news of outsourcing platform, has become the focus of media attention again.

Both the capital market and the general public are increasingly looking forward to the listing of igrit.

Capital is for profit.

The public is curious about the height that igritte, a technology giant with a valuation of 100 billion US dollars during the IPO period, will reach after it goes public.

Simon left Los Angeles at nine o'clock in the morning and arrived on the east coast. Because of the time difference, it's almost off-duty time here.I'd like to have dinner with Robert egger and talk about the details of the acquisition of TV network.

Apparently, Simon and Amy are in charge of the merger, and Robert egger is more responsible for the implementation. This senior executive of danielis Entertainment Television Department will also directly become the head of the television network after the merger.

The dinner was at a restaurant inside Rockefeller Center in midtown. Simon arrived at six o'clock and Robert egger arrived early.

Specially reserved a corner position that will not be disturbed.

After ordering, egger quickly talked about the relevant matters.

For a large-scale merger with a total amount of more than 20 billion US dollars, even if behind the scenes decision makers like Simon can reach an agreement through several times of communication, it is a huge project to complete the merger.

It's like ABC.

to be more precise, it's actually metropolitan ABC Group. From this, we can imagine that this company is definitely more than just owning a TV network.

As a matter of fact, apart from ABC TV network, which has more than 200 franchise channels, Metro ABC Group also has ABC Radio stations all over the country, a number of fully owned local TV stations, national cable TV stations such as AE TV network and ESPN, a large number of paper media assets such as newspapers and magazines, as well as massive copyright reserves and countless real estate related to these assets.

When Warren Buffett and Tom Murphy just acquired ABC, the company even had a large number of art collections, and ABC headquarters in Rockefeller Center was also valuable. However, these were all sold by two old-fashioned entrepreneurs to make up for their losses.

In a word, if we want to complete the acquisition, we must try our best to clarify the assets of metropolitan ABC Group and the information behind them, such as equity, debt and copyright.

Otherwise, you may fall into the pit.

Sony acquired Columbia Pictures because it was an outsider who couldn't sort out these problems. After spending a lot of money to acquire the big studio, it lost more than $1 billion because of various litigation disputes. Warner sued Sony for breach of contract to acquire Peter Cooper and John Peters' production company and invited them to be senior executives, He lost 800 million dollars.

Tuition is everywhere.

If Denise doesn't pay attention to these, she will be killed as a fat sheep in the future.

Before joining danielis entertainment, Robert egger was a senior executive of metropolitan ABC Group. He had a clear idea of both the industry and the specific metropolitan ABC Group. He was also very familiar with all kinds of hidden traps in the industry. It would be very appropriate for the other party to be responsible for this acquisition.

In the dining room.

Most of Robert egger's topics are about these pitfalls: "recently, it happens to be the key node of TV network program procurement. Boss, if we have determined the goal, we should first inform each other. Danilisi entertainment must have the right to know and veto all the new procurement agreements signed during this period. Otherwise, some executives are likely to sign a large number of program purchase orders without our attention, and these items can not be guaranteed in terms of amount or quality. "

Dinner has been served.

Simon cut the steak in front of him and said, "you can communicate with Tom Murphy in private, but you should keep it secret."

This is one of the things Simon is very satisfied with Warren Buffett's professional ethics.

At the melisandro party in March, Warren Buffett basically confirmed that Simon was most interested in metropolitan ABC Group. Unlike Larry Tisch, the big shareholder of CBS, who let people know in private in order to raise the price, metropolitan ABC Group didn't move at all.

Egger nodded his head and said, "and ESPN, Steve Bernstein is a very enterprising person. I have probably counted that in recent years, ESPN and major sports leagues have signed contracts totaling more than 2.7 billion US dollars, and the funds involved in these contracts are paid year by year. Although they are normal operating expenses, because of the large amount of money involved, it's very important to pay for them Old can be used as a bargaining chip between us and ABC, can make a certain offset in the amount of acquisition. "

Simon thought about it for a moment and shook his head slightly: "if there is no accident, this acquisition will probably be finalized after I communicate with Warren Buffett several times. You should know that Warren Buffett is not a person who likes to haggle over these details, neither am I. The biggest possibility for both of us is to strike a certain premium and reach an agreement directly on the basis of the current share price. "

Egger thought about it and understood it.

After all, he has worked in metropolitan ABC Group for many years, and he is quite clear about the style of the two people there.

Simon saw egger clearly, and said: "so, your job is to ensure that this company will not have unexpected unknown risks. I am responsible for paying and signing contracts. What you have to do is to ensure this to the greatest extent."
