Although Jinling's GDP in 1998 was only over 100 billion, it was already at the forefront among major cities across the country.
There were only five provincial capital cities in China with GDP exceeding 100 billion in 1998, namely Yangcheng, Hangzhou, Rongcheng, Jiangcheng and Jinling, with Jinling just surpassing Jiangcheng and ranking fourth.
However, it is predicted that the GDP of deep space this year should be expected to exceed that of Chengdu and even Hangzhou, and enter the top three, because last year, the GDP of Jinling was only over 3 billion compared with Chengdu and over 6 billion behind Hangzhou. With Jinling’s current
The momentum can easily be caught up.
This year, Yu Dong and Yu Hua walked the red carpet together, and they were neither the first nor the last, they just took the time to walk away from the red carpet.
Many reporters didn't react. They didn't expect Yu Dong to appear in such a low-key manner and hurriedly raised their cameras to take pictures.
Yu Hua smiled at the camera and said to Yu Dong, "Executive member, although this is not our first time walking on the red carpet, every time we feel that this red carpet is out of place for us."
"Remove the word 'men'." Yu Dong smiled, "If you don't want to walk on the red carpet, speed up."
"Then I'll speed up."
Then, before Ban Dong could respond, Yu Hua started running with small steps.
Looking at Yu Hua running away, Yu Dong's hand waving in mid-air suddenly got stuck, along with his expression.
For the first time, the reporters took the initiative to turn their cameras away from Yu Dong and towards Yu Hua, who was escaping.
"Why are you running away, Teacher Yu Hua?"
asked a reporter near the front.
Yu Dong smiled and said, "He had a bad stomach after eating this morning."
"oh!"
A group of reporters showed an "I understand" expression.
Yu Dong smiled and walked inside faster.
Another reporter shouted, "Teacher Yu Dong, why are you walking so fast? Walk more, otherwise the photos will be blurry."
"Teacher Yu Hua forgot to bring paper."
Yu Dong replied and quickly walked down the red carpet and entered the building, leaving only a bunch of reporters and onlookers looking at each other.
"These two are so relaxed walking on the red carpet."
…
The red carpet cast at the Deep Space Annual Conference is very strong, but it is different from the Oscars. Everyone is more down-to-earth, and they can wear whatever clothes they want.
There are people wearing suits and leather shoes, everyday clothes, Chinese tunic suits and gowns, and there are even people wearing ancient costumes - such as Hu Jing, who was wearing a costume from "Love Through Time".
Moreover, except for a few people who have specific arrangements for walking on the red carpet, everyone else has no fixed order, so walking down the entire red carpet will make people feel very casual.
Wang Xiaobo might have just walked over with a grin on his face, and Winona, who was dressed up for the occasion, followed closely, and then Wang Anyi and Zhao Yan walked over, talking and laughing.
Because there were so many guests present, the red carpet lasted for a long time and did not end until three o'clock in the afternoon.
…
After the annual meeting officially started, as in previous years, representatives from all walks of life went up to speak first, then Jimmy was responsible for summarizing the results of the previous year, and Yu Dong was responsible for looking forward to the future.
Although these processes are repeated every year, no one feels tired of them.
The guests were not bored, and neither was Jimmy, who was in charge of summarizing.
Today, Jimmy is wearing a bright red Tang suit, looking very festive, and his whole face is glowing.
"It's time to report the results to you again. Last year, Deep Space Company did a lot of things, so much that I was a little surprised. This year, although more and more outstanding people have joined the Deep Space family,
Inside, I am still very busy, so I rarely look at the summary. That is, when I started doing the year-end summary some time ago, I saw the data report for this year, and I was shocked. "
"When I saw those data, I couldn't help but feel proud of myself, because we have indeed achieved remarkable results. Where should I start..."
Jimmy flipped through the report in his hand with a very embarrassed expression. Finally, he had an idea and laughed, "Let me tell you a piece of data that you don't know much about, but it is really powerful. Many people should know it.
You know, last fall the Deep Space Corporation took the lead and worked with Amazon and Flash Printing Company to create a commemorative book of ancient Chinese poetry."
The guests in the audience couldn't help but nod. This matter was quite popular at the time. Many news media at home and abroad reported it. Many Chinese people also regarded this plan as an effective activity to spread Chinese traditional culture.
It's just that most people don't know how far this plan has developed. They just feel that it seems to be doing pretty well, but they have no idea how good it is.
"As of the end of last month, the Ancient Poetry Handbook Project's turnover reached $23 million, and the turnover of all cards exceeded $100 million."
In addition to ancient poetry commemorative books, Amazon also sold many other instant printing products this year, such as "Old Book" sales record cards.
Activities such as record cards and ancient poetry souvenir albums have also led to the development of personal business. People have learned about flash printing through these activities and have begun to try to use this service. The largest proportion of them is the production of personal photo albums.
It was Christmas some time ago, and many Amazon users would choose to customize their own exclusive Christmas cards on the website.
Flash Print was originally a company jointly founded by Deep Space and Ingram to win over Amazon. Now it has grown into a company with annual sales of up to 100 million US dollars, and everyone can see that the future of this company
Unlimited.
With the development of the times and the continuous advancement of the Internet, more and more individuals will conduct personalized printing customization on the Internet.
Many people now see the potential in this business, but there is no way to get a share of the pie with Deep Space Company and Ingram.
The success of Flash Print relies on Deep Space Company's high-quality content output and strong publicity, and Amazon's perfect channels. Without either of these two, Flash Print would not be able to develop to its current situation.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In addition, in order to support Flash Printing Company, Deep Space and Ingram have been building factories and preparing equipment from a long time ago. If there are other companies now
If you want to enter the market, the first thing you have to do is to spend at least a year and a half preparing these things.
After they make these preparations, no one knows what the market will look like at that time.
Yu Hua, who was in the audience, turned sideways and said to Yu Dong, "Have I been with you for a long time? Why don't I feel that much when I hear 100 million US dollars?"
This is Yu Hua's true words. Before he came to Jinyi, hearing a hundred or eighty thousand was enough to shock him, let alone a hundred million.
But as time goes by, he no longer feels much about these numbers, as if $100 million is nothing, because he has heard too much.
To give the simplest example, the movie "The Butterfly Effect" produced by Deep Space Company this year is expected to have a global box office of over 300 million U.S. dollars. He also heard that the real cost of the movie was 9 million U.S. dollars.
.
A movie that cost nine million U.S. dollars to shoot has a box office of 300 million U.S. dollars. Looking at it this way, a company's annual turnover of 100 million U.S. dollars doesn't seem to be that big of a deal.
As if he heard Yu Hua's thoughts, Jimmy on the stage continued, "The second thing I want to say is "The Butterfly Effect". The box office of this movie surprised even myself. Of course, I
I was full of confidence in this movie. Before the movie was released, when I talked with Yu Dong, we both thought that the final box office of this movie should be around 150 million, but I didn’t expect that it would double in the end..."
After talking about movies, Jimmy talked about TV series again, "During last year's annual meeting, Yu Dong boasted that we would launch 20 TV series plans in Haikou. I originally thought it would not be achieved, but I hurriedly worked hard and finally it was just before the New Year.
At that time, we achieved this goal. Some of the TV series have already been seen by everyone, and there are also some TV series that will most likely be available to everyone next year..."
Jimmy didn't go into detail, he just gave a very general introduction about what Deep Space did last year, but even so, it took a lot of time, because Deep Space really did too many things last year.
Take TV series as an example. Deep Space not only produces domestic TV series, but also produces TV series in the United States, such as "Lie to Me".
After talking about other sections, Jimmy finally talked about the foundation of Deep Space Company - the book section.
Although the development of the book industry around the world is showing a downward trend, Deep Space Company still operates the book section as the company's pillar section, and the results are very obvious.
"In the past year, all the books owned by Deep Space Company have sold a total of 435.62 million copies, with an average of about 14 copies sold every second. This means that, let me say
In time, our company’s book sales will increase by dozens.”
…
When Jimmy gave his year-end summary on stage, netizens were already in a frenzy.
In order to give the audience a better experience, and because the conference site is better photographed than other events, the official annual meeting was truly broadcast live.
However, in order to prevent accidents from happening, the scene the audience saw was actually delayed by five minutes.
But the audience was already very satisfied, after all, it was only five minutes.
[Wangyunshanren: More than 400 million copies, this data is really scary.]
[Lao Zhu is a skinny guy: It’s not scary at all. There are too many authors under Deep Sky, and they are all awesome.]
[Simplified: I remember that at the annual meeting a few years ago, President Ji announced that the number should be 40 million copies. Unexpectedly, it has increased tenfold in just a few years.]
[For you in my dreams: Hahahaha, isn’t this normal? Now I am the only one who sells more than 40 million works a year. 】
[Miss Jin Xin: Of course there are more. Which book under Yu’s name has a sales volume of less than 10 million? With so many books, each of them sells hundreds of thousands of copies every year, not to mention that new books are released every year.
】
[The Demon of Thorough Loneliness: Ahem, there are actually books with sales of less than 10 million, but on average each book must have sold more than 10 million. 】
[Xing Bingjing: The average price of each book should be more than 10 million. The "Old Book" is more than 40 million. 】
[I don’t know what nickname I want to give: Teacher is not the only one under Deep Space. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series, Uncle Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series are also very popular, and last year, suddenly
Marc Levy came out, and his book sales exploded in France.]
[Wandering Today: Yes, the most important thing is that these writers were all excavated by deep space before they became famous.]
[To be reasonable: I heard that Boss Yu dug it out himself. I have to say that Boss Yu’s vision is truly unique.]
[Qie Momo: Well, Boss Yu is great, so who is Liu Shutong? 】
[Boring, Patriarch:...]
…
Of course, Jimmy couldn't see the discussion among netizens. At this time, he had almost finished what he said, and then made a finishing touch, and then invited Yu Dong up with a smile.
As soon as Yu Dong came on stage, the audience burst into applause.
Jimmy, who had not yet gone down, said jealously: "I have been talking for a long time, but I have never said such a loud applause."
Hearing what Jimmy said, there was a burst of laughter in the audience, and then the applause became louder. This time the applause was for Jimmy.
Hearing the applause, Jimmy nodded with satisfaction and then handed the stage to Yu Dong.
Yu Dong walked to the microphone, looked back at Jimmy who was walking towards the audience, and said with a smile: "Thank you Jimmy for taking us to review some of the achievements of Deep Space Company in the past year that are not worth mentioning. Thank you also.
He lets us know that we have done quite well this year and that everyone can have a good year with peace of mind."
"Why does Deep Space hold an annual meeting every year and go to the trouble of inviting everyone from all over the world to Jinling? Naturally, it is not to show off to you in person how much money the company has earned this year. In fact, Deep Space has gone all the way.
Come on, every footprint has your weight on it, and the achievements of deep space are naturally your achievements."
Then he continued: "Let's not say any emotional words for now, let's have a good chat at the dinner. Now I will complete my task and report to you the Deep Space Company's plans for the next year."
"Let me tell you some good news first. It was only confirmed in the past two days. Our company has reached a cooperation with DreamWorks to fully take over "Shrek". Next, we will start the production of our company's first animated film.
Production. Yes, this film will be independently produced by our company's newly established PDI animation studio."
Many people in China did not react to Dong's words, but Michael Eisner and others were full of surprise.
Eisner never expected that Deep Space would do such a big thing after not seeing him for a few days.
Although Yu Dong didn't say it explicitly, Eisner could guess that Deep Space Company's newly established PDI Animation Studio should have been established after the merger of PDI Company.
