Tao Xiwen did not agree immediately, but hoped to consider it.

Tao Yushu did not urge him, but only asked Tao Xiwen to give the result before she came back from the United States.

Upon hearing the news, Tao Xiwu immediately pestered his elder brother and asked him to treat him.

Tao Xiwen was too lazy to pay attention to him and asked Lin Chaoyang's opinion, "Uncle, do you think I should agree to my aunt?"

Lin Chaoyang looked at him with a funny look, "Your aunt and I are a couple, do you ask me this question?"

"I believe you!" Tao Xiwen looked confident.

Good boy, gentlemen are just bullying him, right?

"What do you ask me about a writing job for this kind of question?"

"My aunt said that when you lived in Silicon Valley, you often mingle with those entrepreneurs, and you also said that you must have invested a lot."

No one knows his husband better than his wife. Although Tao Yushu does not interfere with Lin Chaoyang's side job, he still knows his style of conduct very well.

After pondering for a while, Lin Chaoyang had to say: "To be honest, the current profit model of email is too single. In addition to the software payment model, it is advertising.

You positioned Yixun as free from the beginning, with both pros and cons, and the advantages are naturally to quickly accumulate users.

The disadvantage is the profit dilemma.

If the software payment model does not work at the root, it can only be used for advertising.

But your size is

Lin Chaoyang shook his head when he said this, "You have to make plans to lose at least two years. Moreover, it is difficult for the email to become the main product. It can only be a means to attract traffic. This is also the reason why your aunt wants to acquire Yixun.

Only by integrating resources, enhancing the user stickiness of the website, and improving targeted advertising and marketing capabilities can we achieve profitability."

Listening to Lin Chaoyang's words, Tao Xiwen nodded seriously.

"You are right. Not only the email address, but the profit model of the entire Internet industry is a dilemma.

In addition to the software payment model.

Yahoo's online advertising business has the most profitable hope, but it is just hopeful. User size is the biggest problem."

Tao Xiwen has been in the United States for several years. His technical ability and industry vision are far superior to ordinary people, but after all, he has no vision that surpasses the times.

"We should look at the problem from a development perspective. If it didn't work in the past, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future; if it didn't work in two years, it doesn't mean it won't work in two years.

Can you imagine that Yahoo was just an unknown small workshop two years ago?

If you continue to operate the email business, as the user scale continues to expand, I think there will definitely be companies with keen eyes that will be attracted by. At that time, the grid may be ten times or even more than your aunt will give.

But the premise is that you have to be able to sustain losses and face cross-field competition from other companies, which is risky.

Just Labi your aunt’s website, news started, and after it reaches a certain stage of development, it will inevitably develop horizontally, email, chat servant——Finally, it is necessary to enhance user stickiness.”

Tao Xiwen thought for a moment and said, "So the most frustrating way I now is to either build my own website, or simply imitate Yahoo, or sell the business."

"It's almost the same. Your aunt wants to give you the company shares, but it's actually a good choice. In the eyes of venture capital, Asia Pacific News is actually the small "Yahoo", although the two are fundamentally different.

In the future, if you take office, Asia Pacific News will most likely not reach the height of Yahoo, but the bow will not be much worse.

It's enough to make you financially free."

Tao Xiwen nodded slowly. He listened to Lin Chaoyang's suggestions and made a decision in his heart.

"You want shares?" Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but ask him.

"yes."

Lin Chaoyang smiled and said nothing.

Instead, Tao Xiwu asked, "Wealth freedom? My uncle, how much is wealth freedom?"

"How much do you think is enough for you to eat, drink and not beg for the rest of your life?" Lin Chaoyang asked him without answering.

Tao Xiwu thought seriously, "It's 10 million, but in fact, 5 million yuan will lose money. If you deposit it in the bank for a year, you will lose 300,000 or 400,000 yuan in a wide range of 300,000 yuan in a year."

Lin Chaoyangmei said to Tao Xiwen, "In the future, I will take your brother to see the world."

Then he walked away.

Tao Xiwu looked confused, "Boss, what does the eldest uncle mean?"

Tao Xiwen:

August passed most of the time. During the release of "Opium War", Xie Jin ran higher than Southeast Asia and Japan and South Korea. When he saw him again, Lin Chaoyang was shocked and lost a lot of weight.

"You are a little bit more dumb! Why did you lose so much weight in one go?"

"You're running outside."

Although he has lost weight, Xie Jin is extremely energetic.

"Opium War" has been released in Greater China, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea. Even if it has not been released in other countries and regions, the box office losses are basically frozen, and there is no major change.

The overseas box office situation is much more than Lin Chaoyang expected, with a $19.5 million view, and it seems that it is expected to reach $20 million in the end.

What surprised him was the domestic box office. 20 days after "Opium War" was released, the government really sponsored it, directly helping the movie box office to set a new record in Chinese film history of 175 million, which was 30 to 40 million more than Lin Chaoyang expected.

Overall, the global box office was nearly 360 million yuan, and the producers recovered 108 million yuan in box office accounts, which finally achieved the goal of guaranteeing capital, and even some factories were profitable.

If we include subsequent video tapes and TV broadcasts, it will be even more impressive.

It is a blockbuster of tribute and a tragic tone. It is already a surprise to be able to make a profit.

In the end, he could earn 10 or 20 million, which was enough to make Xie Jin feel proud.

The most important thing is that the release of "Opium War" has brought Xie Jin's reputation in the domestic literary and artistic circles to a new peak. He is highly praised by both the official and the people.

When talking about this with Lin Chaoyang, Xie Jin felt a little embarrassed.

He participated in the film from preparation to release. Xie Jin knew deeply that without Lin Chaoyang's help, "The Opium War" would never have achieved such a great success.

"It's boring to talk about these things. I'm just going to meet a scene, so I'm just a grand event."

Xie Jin talked about his experiences and experiences of participating in publicity activities abroad and talked about his next arrangements.

In two days, he will soon go to Canada to participate in the Montchanger Film Festival, saying that "Opium War" is expected to win a prize, and then he will return to Shanghai to prepare for this year's Shanghai National Film Festival.

At least two months at once, Xie Jin couldn't help but feel that there was not enough time.

The successive successes of "The Battle of Red Cliff" and "The Opium War" made him show his old age and stronger, and he wished he could devote all his time and energy to his film career.

As he spoke, he told Lin Chaoyang about the new movie he was planning, and he planned to write "Rabe Diary"

Move to the big screen.

In 1937, John Rabe witnessed the Japanese invaders carrying out the inhumane massacre in Nanjing, and he recorded this tragic history with his diary.

He used his special identity to accommodate and conceal more than 650 refugees and soldiers who laid down their weapons in the backyards and office servants of the residence.

In the spring of 1938, Mr. Rabe returned to Germany under the order of the Xikangxing Company where he worked. After returning to China, he went to various places to give speeches many times, exposing the atrocities of the Japanese army in Nanjing, and was arrested by the Gestapo soon after.

Finally, it was released on bail by Simon Sing Company, on condition that Mr. Rabe must remain silent from then on.

Wu Shi, he silently sorted out his diary from October 1937 to February 1938, and added relevant information, a total of 2,117 pages, named "The Bomb Over Nanjing".

Mr. Rabe died on January 5, 1950, leaving these historical records to future generations until December 12, 1996

It was announced to the world in New York by his granddaughter Usura Reinhardt.

This hand, which had been covered with dust for nearly 50 years, finally wiped away the thick dust and was able to see the light of day again.

As soon as the news came, it immediately attracted widespread attention in the country.

This edition of Jiangsu People's Edition of China was the first to react and spent a huge amount of money to buy back the Chinese copyright of this diary.

And just this month's edition.

In fact, as early as three years ago, when watching Spielberg's "Schindler's List", Xie Jin had the idea of ​​making a movie about Wu Nanjing Massacre.

This time the emergence of "Rabe's Diary" made Xie Jin even more confident.

"We Chinese should worry about having our own 'Schindler's List'!"

Xie Jin's tone was passionate and full of fighting spirit.

"What does it mean? Let me invest again?"

Lin Chaoyang exposes his thoughts in a moment, and his solemn expression can't be maintained anymore, and he compliments: "I knew Chaoyang, your patriotic heart, will definitely be unwilling to be inferior when encountering such a thing."

"Stop giving me ecstasy medicine. If you take this type of tablet, there are more people who are willing to support me."

"That's different, we're old partners."

Lin Chaoyang knew that Xie Jin was going to film "Rabe Diary", so investment was definitely indispensable.

But Xie Jin found him in this way, and his reason was high-sounding. He could not refuse. Wu said readily:

"How much does it cost this time?"

"20 million!" Xie Jin made a gesture.

Lin Chaoyang joked: "So little? It doesn't fit your style-"

"USD!"
