As the commercial espionage incident came to an end, everything in Xingyuan quickly returned to normal.

Those who should play games will play games, and those who should draw cards will do well.

The Xiaopozhan APP produced by Wang Jing is basically completed and has entered the testing stage.

This APP is very similar to the APP launched by Xiaopo Station in the previous life, but starting from version 1.0, this APP has been equipped with a membership purchase function.

The exclusive supply channels on the island country have been established. How can we not make a lot of money at this time?

It is worth mentioning that the monthly visits to Xiaopo Station have now exceeded 55 million, which is a very good number.

Of course it's far worse than old video websites like Tudou.

Not long ago, Tudou announced that their monthly unique user visits had reached 116 million.

What's even more frightening is that Tudou was still on the rise at this time. Luo Fan remembered that in his previous life, Tudou's monthly visits reached 227 million.

The reason why Xiaopozhan can grow so fast is because of the traffic of three full-length anime: "Naruto", "One Piece" and "Detective Conan".

Later, Gao Meng continued to cooperate with the island country and purchased some of their new excellent dramas.

At present, the only Chinese company that is willing to spend money to buy dramas from the island country is Xiaopozhan, and the price offered is basically the same as the price paid by the island's domestic TV stations. It is considered a very important income.

They also receive dividends from the items purchased and sold by members of Xiaopozhan. With the help of membership purchase, the most important source of income for drama series, BD can also be sold in China.

Many animation production companies regard Xiaopozhan as important customers, and Xiaopozhan relies on cooperative sales with island countries and sales of self-made peripherals, plus the income from online stores, to basically maintain a balance of payments, and sometimes even

Making a small profit is already very difficult for a video website.

Both Xiaopo Station and the animation production company in the island country have made money, and the relationship between the two parties has naturally become more and more harmonious.

It is no exaggeration to say that companies in the island country now hope that Xiaopozhan can develop for a long time and brilliantly more than Xingyuan.

By mid-April, 14 of the 24 cinemas invested by Xingyuan had opened.

At present, Xingyuan Cinema has a total of 91 screens, which is a small cinema chain. When the remaining 10 cinemas are opened, the number of screens will exceed 150, and Xingyuan Cinema will be considered a medium-sized cinema chain.

At the same time, Cao Shuai also posted the Xingyuan Cinema franchise announcement.

I want to expand the number of screens in Xingyuan Cinemas as soon as possible.

Just a week after Cao Shuai posted the franchise announcement, people from Penguin came to Xingyuan and expressed that they wanted to talk about the theater franchise plan.

Luo Fan was not surprised by Penguin's arrival, because some time ago, Ali joined several small theater chains and also contacted Yida.

This was not good news for Penguin, so they immediately took countermeasures and began to contact some domestic theaters.

In fact, people from Alibaba had already been here before Cao Shuai posted the franchise announcement.

The price they gave was quite reasonable, 500 million to acquire 40% of the shares of Xingyuan Cinemas.

However, they requested that Xingyuan Cinemas be split from Xingyuan Cinemas, change its name, and allow Alibaba to send professional managers to the new company.

Luo Fan refused this condition without even thinking about it.

Xingyuan Cinema is part of Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. It is not only a theater chain, but also related to some of Luo Fan's later layouts. It can be split from the company but changing its name is definitely not allowed.

The cooperation between the two parties failed to be negotiated, so Luo Fan asked Cao Shuai to make an announcement.

The people from Penguin have much less requirements than those from Alibaba. They only care about whether the theater chain can make money, and are not interested in management, let alone giving advice.

It’s just that the money given by Penguin is relatively small. Penguin is only willing to pay 250 million for 30% of the shares.

This number did not meet Luo Fan's psychological expectations, so Cao Shuai negotiated with Penguin under Luo Fan's instruction.

In the end, the two parties agreed to acquire 30% of the shares of Xingyuan Cinemas for RMB 300 million.

With this funding, Xingyuan Cinemas will be able to expand a second time.

Cao Shuai decided to first spend 100 million to open a Xingyuan Cinema in each of the imperial capitals, and the remaining money would open another cinema in each provincial capital city.

In this way, the number of movie theaters in Xingyuan Cinemas will be 50, and the number of screens will also be increased.

This size can be considered one of the top five or even top three theater chains in China.

Cao Shuaixiang was a resolute person, so he flew to the imperial capital immediately and started preparations for the cinema.

Unconsciously, a month passed. In mid-May, Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. became the first company to obtain a payment license.

Originally, this kind of thing was beyond Xingyuan's turn. Although Xingyuan's current size is not small, it is still not in GJ's eyes. The main reason is that Xingyuan's boss, Luo Fan, is only 20 years old this year and is in college.

age.

Now GJ encourages college students to start businesses to relieve employment pressure, so this license is available.

Luo Fan is naturally very happy about this. With a payment license, he can do many things, such as adding red envelope functions to Star Chat in the future, adding QR code payment functions, etc.

At the same time, the transformation of Xingyuan application platform also has another direction.

Luo Fan previously wanted to make the Xingyuan application platform into a forum-style APP, similar to MiHoYo's Miyou Club. The difference is that Luo Fan will add a download function for all Xingyuan games and APPs on the Xingyuan application platform.

Function.

But now, Luo Fan feels that he can dig deeper, such as adding the function of purchasing Xingyuan Cinema movie tickets to the Xingyuan application platform.

Just as Luo Fan was thinking about how to operate, a sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Come in!"

As soon as Luo Fan finished speaking, Wang Jing opened the door and walked in.

"Boss, all the tests for the Xiaopozhan APP have been completed and can be released at any time. When do you think it will be launched?" Wang Jing said straight to the point.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Wang, our company has just obtained a payment license. We can make payments without using other third-party platforms. Remember to change this."

"Okay boss."

"Is there any problem with the recommendation mechanism of Xiaopo Station?"

"Don't worry, boss, the recommendation mechanism of Xiaopo Station is not a copy of the daily headlines, but a re-edit based on big data algorithms. There is absolutely no problem."

"That's good. As for the launch time, I think it will be June 1st. Children's Day on June 1st is very suitable for two-dimensional users like Xiaopozhan."

"Does the boss want to hold any activities then?" Wang Jing asked.
