Chapter 2088 The negative impact of the financial crisis

Lin Rui was very anxious.

The reason why they are so worried is that after seeing the popularity of "I Am a Singer", many local satellite TV stations have launched similar programs to compete with them for ratings.

And how do variety shows make money?

It depends on the ratings.

Originally, after the broadcast of "I Am a Singer", the ratings were outstanding, even reaching 1.9 at the highest point. It was still a long time before the finals, and many advertisers called specifically to ask for advertisements during the finals, and the prices were very high. rich.

I originally thought about waiting for the second season to come out and make a lot of money from it, but now it turns out that these Sun Tzu plagiarisms have given advertisers more choices, and Lin Rui has lost the bargaining power.

After all, variety shows and movies are different.

Look at the core of the movie, they can’t copy it.

Variety shows are fun to watch, and they can copy them.

If the asking price for "I Am a Singer" is higher at this time, these advertisers will undoubtedly turn to another variety show. After all, this is sometimes the reality in the business world.

So Lin Rui was a little worried.

The only thing that made Lin Rui happy was that Wang Hao called him, and both he and Li Bing were willing to come and help him. This made Lin Rui feel like he was not alone.

But there is a prerequisite here.

That means you have to talk to your boss about it.

Although Lin Rui was sure that as long as Wang Hao and Li Bing came over, Ye Feng would definitely be willing to accept them and would not treat them badly, but at this juncture, Lin Rui was still a little unsure.

The next day.

Lin Rui, who couldn't sleep, came to the company early. When he arrived at the company, Ye Feng hadn't come over yet. Lin Rui went to the company from time to time to watch the editing work of "I Am a Singer" and to see if Ye Feng had come over from time to time.

It wasn't until nearly ten o'clock in the morning that Lin Rui waited for Ye Feng.

Now that "I Am a Singer" has been officially aired, the response to the program is also very good, so Ye Feng is not in a hurry to come to the company so early. After a few days, he will hand over all the company's affairs to Lin Rui, and then he has to Go to the United States.

In December, the financial crisis caused by the subprime mortgage problem in the United States became more and more serious. The global tourism industry was greatly affected. Among them, the financial industry and the hotel industry were the most severely affected. It originally cost 240 billion US dollars to acquire The Hilton Hotel has also become a hot potato at this time, and many institutions even estimate that the current value of Hilton Hotel is even less than 60 billion US dollars.

The decline is more than severe enough to explain?
It didn't matter that there was no financial crisis in the first place. With Yang Qingzhi's ability, he was able to overcome this difficulty. Due to the financial crisis, major credit banks in the United States also had funding problems. In other words, everyone Every bank needs money to ensure its normal operation, and now they see the Hilton depreciating, how can they not be anxious?
They are all afraid that Hilton will go bankrupt and they will not get their money back.

At this time, investment banks made the same choice as most people, which is to get their money back and stop losses in time. There is also such a clause in the contract. When there is a problem with the debt, the bank can withdraw the funds in advance, so it is also Several major investment banks have joined forces to force Yang Qingzhi to confess. In the past two months, Yang Qingzhi has been working on negotiating with Citigroup and other investment banks to ask them to give him some more time.

Now at the final moment of the negotiation, Yang Qingzhi wanted Ye Feng to come over.

After all, 240 billion US dollars has gone down. Although Ye Feng knows that he will be rich in the future, he will be very rich, but he still attaches great importance to such a large sum of money and has to go there.

At the same time, I was also thinking about how Hilton got through this in his previous life.

Regardless of the time in the past life or the current time, there is no doubt that a financial crisis broke out. This is a long-standing problem in the U.S. financial subprime mortgage sector.But how did the Hilton Hotel in its previous life survive this crisis?

Or is it that Hilton executives didn’t sell the hotel at all?
Ye Feng was thinking hard about this problem. After all, whether it was the financial crisis or the Hilton Hotel in his previous life, it was too far away from him. He had never paid attention to the news in this area. For him, games and fried rice and noodles were more relevant to life. a little.

What I never expected was that I would have the opportunity to be reborn, allowing myself to meet these originally dreamy words.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

Ye Feng came to his senses and let people outside come in.

"Third brother."

There were no outsiders in the office, so Lin Rui called Brother Ye Feng.

Ye Feng nodded, and then asked Lin Rui: "How is the program "I Am a Singer" going now? Has the ratings dropped?"

"No, the ratings are now 1.924. Even satellite TVs like Mango Channel and Deep Blue Channel are so disgusting. Seeing how popular our program is, they will launch similar singing programs."

Lin Rui felt disgusted when he thought about this.

Ye Feng felt that he was used to it and said without taking it seriously: "If they want to plagiarize, just let them plagiarize. We will do ours."

"Then let them pick peaches for free?" Lin Rui felt that these people were picking peaches.

"Can't say that either."

Ye Feng shook his head, looked at Lin Rui and said with a smile: "It's not necessarily a bad thing if they copy us."

"Not necessarily a bad thing?"

Lin Rui was a little confused. Originally, "I Am a Singer" was the only show, and now there are programs like "The Masked Singer". Isn't it competing with them for ratings?
Ye Feng nodded: "Yes, it's not a bad thing. You have to know that there is endless money to be made, and the market cannot be monopolized by one person or variety show. Just like there are so many TV stations, they still have ratings. Different TV stations , its audience is also different. Maybe they copied us and advertised "I Am a Singer" instead. If other TV stations launched the same program as ours, our program suffered losses and was If it steals the ratings, there is only one reason, and that is that our program is not good enough."

"It seems to be the case."

Lin Rui was thoughtful when he heard this. He had made so many movies before, but no movie produced by any movie company could beat the box office of Jingke Pictures. Thinking of this, Lin Rui felt a lot more comfortable.

Then Lin Rui suddenly remembered his original purpose, so he looked at Ye Feng and said guiltily: "By the way, Third Brother, I was with Wang Hao and Li Bing yesterday."

"Ok?"

Ye Feng looked at Lin Rui strangely, feeling that he was a little weird at this time. Li Bing and Wang Hao were both in Yanjing, and it was normal for Lin Rui to have a private dinner with them.

But soon, Ye Feng understood why Lin Rui was acting weird.

I saw Lin Rui then said with a little lack of confidence: "I persuaded them to come and follow you, third brother, with me."
