If Yeah1 is going into that way, they seem to be quite smart indeed. I can imagine how valuable Yeah1 is if they positioned themselves as an "offline" youth entertainment & lifestyle brand. However, it would be very important for them to define the core/flagship services among the mentioned businesses, for example would it be Cable TV, or cineplex, and expand from there. Yeah1 needs to dominate a category before expanding their franchise, otherwise instead of having a lot of successful businesses they will have a lot of problems. Who knows some day we will hear the breaking news "Viacom established Vietnam footprint through Yeah1 acquisition", like the way Ebay teamed up with Chodientu? Personally I'm not very much buying in this. Thank you ICO for sharing an interesting info. If Yeah1 is going into that way, they seem to be quite smart indeed.

This actually is the core value of Yeah1 community (groups of teenagers, meeting offline a lot). So I don't see Yeah1 as a mighty Internet startup, they could make things happen much better offline.
