1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: This is what the Flux.

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 2: I'm Brettan Justin and Monday, the seventh of October, dozy boy.

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: A and Z Bank has been in a fair bit

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: of hot water lately with its trading scandal. But now

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: it's come out that am Z has paid a combined

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: sum of ninety nine million dollarydodars to settle two class actions.

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: Now one was related to commissions to car dealers, if

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: you don't mind, and the other was for charging excessive

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: fees on its super product boiling water.

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: Some might say, be man, uh huh, now Fox, I'm

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: the ASEX jump six and a half percent in the

12
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: September quarter, that was the best quarter of the year

13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: so far. In a Flex app, we take a closer

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: look at the three best performing companies on the ASX

15
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: two hundred in September, and there's one particular industry that

16
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: comes out on top. To make sure to download the

17
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: Flux app to check it all out.

18
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: Three truly riveting, if not life changing stories today, Dozy

19
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,639
Speaker 1: boy let's do it for our first. Virgin Australia announced

20
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: last week that Qatar Airways officially plans to buy a

21
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: twenty five percent stake in the Ossie Airline, but there's

22
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: still one little, big hold up.

23
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: Could potentially be some very big news for Ozzy consumers

24
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: and competition. Be man, if you don't mind to tell

25
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: me what.

26
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: Some background Josey Boy. Virgin Australia was one of the

27
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: first major airlines in the world actually to go bust

28
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: during the COVID nineteen pandemic, and just.

29
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: After hitting their major turbulence, the plane was steadied by

30
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 2: private investment firm Bane Capital, which bought Virgin Australia for

31
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: three and a half billion dollars.

32
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: Now, for those that don't know, Qatar Airways is the

33
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: national carrier of Qatar.

34
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: A country known for its vast, vast vast amounts of oil.

35
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: And Jessy Boy. While Qatar Airways has a flight sharing

36
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: partnership already with Virgin today, it's now going one better.

37
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Last week Qatar Airways announced it's planned by a

38
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: twenty five percent stake in Virgin Australia.

39
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: Now, under this proposed deal, Virgin Australia plans to launch

40
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: flights from bris Vegas from Melbourne, from Perth and Sydney

41
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: all the way to Doha in k Man.

42
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: Cut the crap, give me the gass. How much were

43
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: we talking for this twenty five percent?

44
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: The purchase price of twenty five percent, Josey Boy is

45
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: an undisclosed amount. Boring and this deal will need approval

46
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: from not only the hyble C but also the Foreign

47
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: Investment Review Board.

48
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: Interesting, So what is the key learning here?

49
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: There's a very careful balance between protecting national interests and

50
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: creating consumer benefits.

51
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: You see, AMAN, the Foreign Investment Review Board or ERB

52
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: as they like to be called, now examined proposed foreign

53
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: investments into Australia.

54
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: And this organization's role is to determine whether these investments

55
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: are in Australia's national interest, whatever that may mean now

56
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: as it happens Jasi Boy. Last year, Qatar Airways was

57
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: blocked by the Australian government from a request to fly

58
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: more services into Sydney and Melbourne and Brisbane and Perth.

59
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 2: And this caused major uproar because people believe this is

60
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: a way for Quantas to maintain its market dominance.

61
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: Now some more contexts, Jasie Boy, Quantus and Virgin Australia

62
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: together they control about ninety percent of Australia's domestic aviation market.

63
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: So AMAN it'll be interesting to see where this one goes,

64
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: especially if it helps bring down prices for consumers.

65
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: For our second story, Elvier Mate has signed a monster

66
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: ten year sponsor deal with Formula one to put their

67
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: brands all over the racing grid.

68
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: First it was the Olympics, then Paralympics, now Formula one.

69
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,119
Speaker 2: Elvi Major really riving up the sporting engines. Be Man,

70
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: so tell me more.

71
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: Well, Josie Boy. Elvia Major is the French luxury conglomerate

72
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: that stands for Louis Vuitton, Moet, Hennessy.

73
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: And within this huge conglomerate there are more than seventy

74
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: five luxury brands or maisons as they like to call.

75
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: Them, and we'll be talking Louis Vuitton, Dior, Givanci, Fendy, Celine, Kenzo,

76
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: tag Hoyer.

77
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 2: And also luxury drinks like Moet, Verve, Clico and Hennessy.

78
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: Now Jasi Boy. During the Olympics and the Paralympics in Paris,

79
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: you may have seen some of Elvia Mahor's brands floating about.

80
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: And up the back of this success, be Man, Elvi

81
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: Mahor signed a ten year deal with Formula one that

82
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: will put it front and center.

83
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: Ah and This deal is believed to be worth around

84
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: one hundred million euros a year for ten years. It's

85
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: really all about getting in front of a new, truly

86
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: global audience.

87
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: So what is the key Lenni here?

88
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 1: As consumer preferences evolve, brands need to evolve their marketing

89
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: to be where their audiences are spending time and attention.

90
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: LVMH's brands have traditionally used a list celebrities as their

91
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: brand ambassadors to promote their very luxurious products.

92
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: Yep, think Arihana, think Zendaya, think to Law.

93
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: But b Man. Since the success of the Olympics, LVMH

94
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: is starting to look at new ways to get multiple

95
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: touch points with the customer in the same spot.

96
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: Yep, tag Hoyer, which is obviously owned by LVMH. They're

97
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: going to replace Rolex as the official timekeeper of F one.

98
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: LVMHOR manufacturer cases for the trophies.

99
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: And you better believe they'll now be squirting bottles of

100
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: moat from the podium.

101
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: And b man, we know that F one has gone

102
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: through a serious makeover since the Drive to Survive series

103
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 2: took Netflix by storm.

104
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: YEP drew in more female fans on F one and

105
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,559
Speaker 1: fans in the US and Bman.

106
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 2: The US market was worth nearly twenty two billion euros

107
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: in revenue for LVMH last year.

108
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: So LVMH is hoping that by sprinkling into the luxury

109
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: brands across the F one track, it can draw a new,

110
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: younger audience to its brands.

111
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 2: For our third and final story, YouTube is bringing big

112
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,239
Speaker 2: changes to its YouTube shorts to try and compete even

113
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: closer with the talk.

114
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: Not like YouTube shorts wasn't already a TikTok clone to

115
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: begin with juzzy boys, So I want to know what

116
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: is the story here?

117
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: What is it? We'll be man. YouTube is the og

118
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: video sharing platform that launched back in two thousand and.

119
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: Five gave us little gems like Harry Potter, puppet Pals

120
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: and Charlie bit my Finger.

121
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: Now back in twenty twenty, when the pandemic had us

122
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 2: all doing viral TikTok dancers, YouTube also wanted to get

123
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: in on the fun, and they launched YouTube shorts.

124
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: Just like TikTok, shorts was all about vertical and scrollable

125
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: and bingeable videos that are max thirty seconds.

126
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: But now be Man YouTube's giving shorts more of a

127
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: TikTok esque glow up with its latest updates.

128
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: We're talking longer videos up to three minutes, something TikTok's

129
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: also been increasing over the years, and.

130
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: The piece de resistance is it's new templates feature.

131
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: Yep it let's creators jump on trends quickly and add

132
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: their own take to an existing video.

133
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: Looks like YouTube kind of wants some of that trend

134
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 2: fueled growth that TikTok has really been benefiting from.

135
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Excellent call Jazzy Boy. So what is the key learning here?

136
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: The secret to a thriving social media business is simply

137
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 2: to get users involved.

138
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: You see, TikTok success as a plat comes from user

139
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: generator content, but then the TikTok community builds on that content.

140
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: Trends like very mindful, very demure, or the cucumber trend,

141
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: they'd be unpopular, and they prompt others on the platform

142
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,559
Speaker 2: to post their own take of the trend.

143
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: That creates more engagement on the platform and therefore more growth,

144
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: which is.

145
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: Why even the YouTube shorts actually has more monthly active

146
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: users than TikTok. TikTok is the undisputed leader when it

147
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: comes to engagement.

148
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: Yep TikTok's average viewcount was over eighteen thousand in the

149
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: first quarter of twenty twenty four, Where's shorts which just

150
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: over six hundred and forty.

151
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: So man, it makes sense why YouTube is trying to

152
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: use very similar tactics to TikTok Bloxam. The September quarter

153
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: was the best quarter of the year so far on

154
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: the ASX, and I'll give you a hot tip. One

155
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: of the top industries was mining. There are a whole

156
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: range of reasons for that. We've touched on some of

157
