I am a nobleman in England
Chapter 351 Legend
After Jiang Lai left, Arthur returned to the suite and checked the time. There was still some time before the agreed time. He sat on the sofa, picked up the paper bag on the table and opened it, and drew a pile of materials from it.
These materials are about the legendary company and the company’s CEO Chen Legend, and legendary literature. Looking at the familiar face in the photo, Arthur smiled slightly. As the earliest players of the online game legend, he is really familiar with Chen Legend. .
In particular, the rise of the other party cannot be said to be well-known, and it can be considered as well-known. After all, he is the founder and leader of the online game industry in the Chinese dynasty. He created a myth of starting a business from scratch, and its influence is spread all over the country and the world.It can be said that in the first ten years of the new millennium, Chen Chuanqi is definitely a true idol-level figure in the heavenly dynasty.
As a British partner with legendary literature, since Arthur is in the magic city, he would naturally not miss the opportunity to go shopping in legendary literature in the past. Therefore, when the British side contacted legendary literature, the other party heard it was Arthur Boleyn. The Earl of England wanted to visit and he immediately paid attention.
To be honest, compared with his partner and billionaire status, Arthur’s noble title is more bluffing. The person in charge of Legendary Literature immediately reported it to the headquarters. As soon as Chen Legend heard about it, he immediately decided to welcome Arthur Bolling in person. This well-known partner.
To be able to see Chen Chuanqi is a small wish. However, Arthur is more interested in legendary literature. Looking at the information collected by the heavenly subordinates for him in the past two days, he Only then did I know that the days of legendary literature did not seem to be easy.
In 2006, the annual income was 20 million yuan, in 2007 it was 40 million yuan, and in 2008 it reached 80 million. In the past 09 years, although the reward function was launched for value-added consumption, especially the fan value system launched, It laid the foundation for stimulating consumption, but it still lost 74.5 million in 2009...
Therefore, the legendary literature has been losing money, or slightly surplus, but only slightly.
The concept of online literature in the celestial dynasty grew out of nothing, and the living environment went from being dependent on forums to industrialization. It took only ten years. By this year, the online literature industry has changed from a "hegemony" pattern to a stable development pattern.
From the current point of view, Legendary Literature owns more than 90% of the author and reader resources in the industry.Other websites have almost no room for growth.
Especially since it was founded in May 2002, it is one of the largest literary reading and writing platforms in China, and is currently the leading original literary portal website in China.
The headquarters office building of Legendary Networks is a courtyard-style three-story office building with offices on all sides and an open-air courtyard in the middle, with a beautiful environment and fresh air.
When Arthur got out of the car, he saw a group of people in suits and shoes walking over under the leadership of Chen Chuanqi. Among the people in the front row, in addition to Chen Chuanqi who Arthur recognized at a glance, there was also the starting point Wu boss. , After all, the writers who ate with Mr. Wu in the previous life have naturally seen them from photos.
"Hello, Mr. Bolin, welcome to you, I am Chen Chuanqi of Legend Group..."
"Hello, Mr. Chen, thank you for your invitation..."
Arthur smiled and shook hands with Chen Chuanqi and greeted each other politely. Then, Chen Chuanqi began to introduce his team to Arthur. Especially when he shook hands with Boss Wu, Arthur's heart was inevitably filled with emotion, and the smile on his face became even greater. The enthusiasm and kindness of this made Boss Wu feel a little inexplicable, but he didn't care too much. He was also very enthusiastic and shook hands with Arthur, and said welcome polite words.
Although what Arthur wanted to visit most this time was Legendary Literature, but he couldn't hold back Chen Chuanqi's enthusiasm, and was surrounded by the spacious and bright conference room and started a forum.
To be honest, Arthur is not interested in the other businesses of Legend Network, and, to put it bluntly, Chen Chuanqi's sharp vision has indeed made him profitable, but he is not very good in management and more important. The thing is, from last year's 2009, the legendary company has actually begun to fall.
Although many of the Internet companies developed by Tianchao after 2009 are similar to Legend, everyone has risen, but Legend did not sit up. Although the biggest factor is that the rhythm of Legend is too advanced. After all, the mobile Internet had not yet started at that time, and many promising businesses were still in the making, but serious internal management problems could not be ruled out.
Through the discussion, Arthur could hear Chen Chuanqi's attempt to use the complementary response of the sectors to turn the entire Chuanqi network into a closed-loop industry chain. This is also an entertainment Disney strategy that has been sought after for many years in many industries. This is nothing unusual.
Although it is the first time that everyone has met each other, they should have talked deeply, but Chen Chuanqi does not seem to care about telling his ideals to Arthur. Instead, it consists of game development, game operation, original literature, video sharing, film and television production, and games. The legendary system of theme tourism, copyright distribution, wireless distribution and other game-related businesses constitutes his ideal.
Arthur also listened earnestly and nodded in recognition, but felt a pity for him in his heart, because in every aspect of the creation, the "low-key and arrogant" Chen Chuanqi seemed "very unfortunate".
For example, the legendary literature that Arthur is most interested in has never provided strong original support for the legendary game business since its establishment, and this was originally the part where Chen Chuanqi had the most high hopes for the legendary literature.
The so-called copyright operation was even more unsuccessful, and no money was made from it.
"The reason is because we were also in a learning phase in practice..."
When the forum ended, Chen Chuanqi took Arthur and the management of Legend Literature in Wu Boss to visit Legend Literature Company. When Arthur mentioned copyright operation, Chen Chuanqi explained a little embarrassingly.
Hearing the explanation of his own boss, the management who accompanied him was a little embarrassed. To be honest, not only in the adaptation of film and television dramas, but also in other sections such as online games and online advertisements, they have not played the role of original literary content.
The official legendary literature and even the main reason why the entire online literature market has been unable to gain recognition, everyone says it is the future, but it still stays in the imagination.
"This is a treasure house. If they can't be turned into operation, it would be a pity." Arthur looked at the internal working scene of Legendary Literature Company and said with a smile.
"My martial arts world website is almost a starting point for complete learning. Many online authors have already settled in, and several excellent online novels have also appeared. Two of them have been favored by British film and television production companies and are under negotiation. Film adaptation rights.
In fact, in this regard, we can learn from the American DC comics and Marvel's model. You should have seen Marvel's "Iron Man". The global box office raked in 580 million U.S. dollars. The creation and operation of super IP It's an opportunity!"
Arthur’s words have a great meaning to sprinkle salt on the wounds of Chen Chuanqi and other legendary literary management. However, although the atmosphere is a little embarrassing, Chen Chuanqi still smiled and shook his head and exclaimed: “Look, let’s do this. The teacher’s was left behind by the students..."
Chen Chuanqi used Chinese, and the meaning of the translation to Arthur's translation on the side was completely changed. However, Arthur could naturally understand Chen Chuanqi’s words about the management of Legendary Literature, but it was not enough and did not show it. Just smiling.
However, Boss Wu, who was next to him, changed his face slightly, and after looking at the leader of another legendary literature, he gave a glance to the other party, nodded seriously, and said: "Actually We already have a plan to establish a script adaptation company, which will increase the value of the work by four to five times, and will also participate in the sharing of downstream TV stations and film companies."
"This requires a lot of capital investment." Arthur smiled and looked at the same smiling Chen Legend, and said very suddenly: "Mr. Chen, if Legend Literature needs financing, I am willing to invest. I am very optimistic about it. potential!"
