Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 423 New Business Possibilities

Entering the office, Xia Yuan immediately saw a half-eaten potato chip and cola on the table. Next to it was a tablet, and the cartoon being played on it had been paused.

"Huh? Didn't you say to work hard?" Xia Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Well, I used to hide it a little bit. Every time before I came in, I would see a senior student who was worried and working hard.

Now, no one carries themselves on their backs anymore.

"The boss is also a human being, and he needs to rest." Tang Ying turned away with a guilty look and replied, "After all, he is not a donkey in the production team. He will get tired after working non-stop for so long. Only when he rests well can he work better."

What's more, what's there to hide? She had to hide it before because she had to pay attention to her image as a senior in front of Xia Yuan.

But now he has succeeded in cheating her. No, they have been married for so long, the child can call her dad and mom, and Xia Yuan can probably count the number of moles on her body.

She knows his strengths and weaknesses, and he knows her depth. Is there any need to hide what kind of person one is?
And what she said was right. It was simply the most reasonable thing in the world.

As a humane enterprise, Heye pays the most attention to the physical and mental health and rest of its employees. So as a boss, what's wrong with her setting a good example? Isn't this what she should do? Is there anything wrong with these things?

However, Xia Yuan just raised his hand and looked at the watch that Tang Ying gave him.

Well, the time above shows eleven thirty-two.

"The company started work at 10 o'clock and the meeting lasted for an hour."

Xia Yuan silently looked at the progress bar of the animation on the tablet. It seemed like he had been watching for about twenty-one minutes and had almost finished an episode.

That is
"Work for eleven minutes and rest for twenty-one minutes, right?" Xia Yuan asked with a smile.

"No way!" Tang Ying immediately retorted, "I've already watched half of this episode! You're slandering me!"

"Okay, okay." Xia Yuan said with a smile. He didn't care about this problem and stopped teasing Tang Ying.

Then, he started to talk about business.

"Have you thought about what we should do now?" Xia Yuan asked.

The first thing Tang Ying did after returning to the company was naturally what the two had discussed before.

That is, if you plan to develop new business for the company, the best thing to do is to set up a new subsidiary.

This time, they were aiming to lose money.

Looking at the senior sister who had regained her motivation, Xia Yuan naturally supported her without thinking.

After all, it is not so easy for the company's other businesses to achieve the goal of losing money. It can be said that it is somewhat difficult.

Moreover, the company's other businesses are now showing a booming development momentum. If a big wave comes after the chairman's return, causing the original steadily developing business to suffer losses, it will be difficult to explain to the company's employees and it will undermine their confidence.

After all, the company has been around for so long and has grown to such a point that they need to consider more than just their own affairs.

There are so many employees who have dedicated their youth here for so long and have deep feelings for the company.

So after thinking it over again and again, they decided that new businesses would be more appealing to them. After all, if they were to develop new businesses and set up new subsidiaries, it would be normal for them to have a certain period of losses in the early stages of the business and to continuously invest money into it.

However, what exactly this new business should do is a question that requires careful consideration.

Now is the time to draw this conclusion.

Tang Ying also expressed her own thoughts: "I have actually considered this. After my research, there are a total of three businesses that are suitable for us to do now."

"Yeah." Xia Yuan sat down and listened attentively, motioning for the senior sister to continue.

"The first is the business of Internet video platform."

Tang Ying said: "We can create a video platform of our own. After all, this market is huge. If you want to build a suitable platform, you need to invest a lot of money. Although the market is large, it is already a red ocean. The cake has basically been divided up by those big platforms. People are compliant with such platforms. Generally speaking, if the content is not extremely competitive, no one will be willing to abandon a platform they are used to and download a new platform."

"Yeah." Xia Yuan nodded in agreement.

This is true.

After all, taking the short video platform as an example, the only short video platforms that can be developed on the market now are Douyin and Kuaishou.

Of course, does that mean other investors have no intention of sharing this cake?

Of course not. This cake is so big and fat that other capitals will certainly covet this market and want to have a bite of it. In the past, many top large capitals have invested money crazily regardless of cost, but ended up in failure.

But their final result was also terrible. Taking Penguin as an analogy, they also relied on the huge number of PP users and Jianxin users to develop a short video platform called Weishi.

According to their original business vision and expectations, relying on such a large user base of PP and Jianxin, this platform is also a built-in program to a certain extent, and it doesn't even need to be downloaded, so success should be a piece of cake.

But what is the final result?

However, it ended in a miserable failure, and the entire business was even cut off and directly merged into the Small World and Video Account.

This proves the saying that you should never underestimate user compliance.

"But the problem is that under normal circumstances, this should be the most suitable thing for us to do. It is too late for us to get out of this business now. There is basically no risk of success. The risk of making a profit is infinitely close to zero."

Tang Ying said: "But the problem is that the international versions of Douyin and Kuaishou are facing a ban, and a large amount of international traffic has poured in. This time, the country is inclined to absorb this international traffic. In order to welcome this batch of international traffic, major platforms have even restored incentive plans to retain these people. This is an unprecedented major change, which has increased the risk of making money."

What would happen if we did this now?

Those international streams had nowhere to go in the first place, and now looking for platforms is just looking for substitutes.

What's more, what kind of image does Xia Yuan have in the eyes of those foreigners now?
He was just like a hero. In the eyes of these foreigners who were obsessed with personal heroism, his previous actions were simply the height of heroism.

If they were driven by Xia Yuan's terrifying appeal and flocked to their platform crazily, would they lose anything?
So this idea can be passed for now!
Now, there are only two other directions to consider.

"There are two other options. One is to build a music platform, and the other is to build games."
