The company's 17-year business plan focuses on product innovation and content aggregation.
In product innovation, the company will further optimize the 4K intelligent terminal and "enjoy" cross-screen product user experience, forming a differentiation advantage with IPTV, OTT TV and other competitive products. Using big data tools such as "thousands of people and thousands of faces", we continue to launch personalized products to meet the needs of the elderly, children and other segments of the population. We will continue to introduce and expand smart all-in-one partners and strengthen the integration and coordination of smart home products with Wasu TV, broadband and clients, so as to inject a driving force for the sustained growth of Wasu mass system.
In the content construction, it will transform from a single procurement mode to a combination of platform procurement and aggregation, which not only meets the rich needs of users of this network, but also strives to enhance the characteristics of national market content differentiation. At the same time, the company will strengthen the production of original content and create an innovative business model of PGC (professional production of content) + UGC (user-produced content). In the past, in the new media platform, Wasu's head investment was mainly based on 80% purchase. In the next planning, the company proposed that 1:1, that is, 50% of the content is content procurement, and 50% of the content is for the cooperation between PCG content and UGC content, so as to achieve a content pool with 1x 1 greater than 2, so as to really enhance the competitiveness of the platform.
The New Media Business Department was established in 17 years to integrate and develop various new media business lines.
One of the company's major moves this year is to integrate the two original divisions of Internet TV, PC and mobile phones into a big new media division. At present, the number of OTT users of Huasu Media has exceeded 100 million, the number of mobile phone users has exceeded 56 million, and the UV of PC has also exceeded 40 million. It is precisely because Huasu has such large-scale users in the past few years that it drives organizational integration, structural integration and business integration. At the Huasu Media New Media Operation and Development Forum and Huasu New Media Strategy Conference on April 20 this year, the company expressed the hope that through the unity of the market, the unity of products and the unity of users, the goal of "1: 1" is greater than 2.
