Chapter 395 The Affirmative Movement of Yiku.com
The driver Hao Dashan drove the brand new Mercedes-Benz S-Class steadily, shuttling through the endless traffic on the road.
Qin Shaoyan and Zhang Chaoyang were sitting in the back seat, both of them thinking about something.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry." Qin Shaoyan suddenly sighed and apologized sincerely.
"Huh?" Zhang Chaoyang was stunned, a little confused, "Why did Mr. Qin apologize?"
"It was an emergency just now. I didn't have time to discuss it with you, so I took the initiative and made a free sharing plan." Qin Shaoyan said sincerely, "You saw what happened today, and I had no choice but to make this decision. "
"It doesn't matter, the matter is urgent." Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile, "But to be honest, Mr. Qin, your plan really shocked me."
"It sounds nothing at first, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that this trick of yours is really amazing."
When Zhang Chaoyang first heard that Qin Shaoyan opened the free and shared film and television resource library to others, he felt a little unhappy.
Whether it is cooperation or free use of the film and television resource library, it is obvious that I came first.
It was agreed that I would be given special treatment, so why did things become like this?
However, he knew very well what today's meeting means to the "Anti-Piracy Alliance".
The official attitude is obvious without saying it clearly. They do not want the "Anti-Piracy Alliance" to continue to cause trouble.
This means that Zhang Chaoyang’s plan will not work. The dream of relying on the anti-piracy banner and legal proceedings to beat other peers to the ground is basically gone.
Sohu Video’s plan to win the market by squeezing its peers was about to come to nothing, and then Qin Shaoyan suddenly came up with the plan of “free sharing of film and television resource libraries”.
He thought about it carefully and suddenly felt that this move of "retreating to advance" was so wonderful.
Didn’t you say that you can’t find genuine resources or that genuine resources are too expensive? Then I will give them to you for free and package the genuine resources for you, so that you have no reason to refuse “reverse” "Piracy".
This completely blocks the peers of other video websites, leaving them without any excuse to object.
The most amazing thing is Qin Shaoyan’s next condition. There is no problem in enjoying free genuine film and television resources, but you must first join the "Anti-Piracy Alliance" and you must eliminate piracy.
What’s so good about this condition?
Of course, the good news is that other peers must join the "Anti-Piracy Alliance".
This "Anti-Piracy Alliance" was initiated by Sohu Video. He, Zhang Chaoyang, is the talker of the alliance, which is equivalent to the leader of the martial arts alliance.
Now other colleagues who want to get free film and television resources must go through his review. This is power!
The time it takes to remove pirated resources and review and join the "Anti-Piracy Alliance" is enough to put other video websites to the test. This also gives Sohu Video a rare strategic opportunity.
Does Zhang Chaoyang really want to "anti-piracy"?
Of course not.
He doesn’t have the guts to kill other colleagues by fighting against piracy, but he does have the guts to reap benefits by fighting against piracy.
And it’s huge.
To do good things, you have to pay attention to what you say.
The purpose of his anti-piracy campaign is to carve out a market for Sohu Video. The current plan can achieve his goal. What else is he dissatisfied with?
As for whether Zhang Chaoyang will be scolded for "card review" or "stumbling" for his colleagues...
You are making money, do you still care about this?
Who cares about reputation these days when working on the Internet?
Besides, since the establishment of the "Anti-Piracy Alliance", Zhang Chaoyang has been very clear about his position.
Three companies cooperated, Yiku.com provided money, and Kuaibo.com provided genuine resources, so Sohu Video had no choice but to contribute.
This is the job we do to get scolded.
Zhang Chaoyang was a little excited, and he was already planning how to use the "Anti-Piracy Alliance" to provide eye drops to other colleagues.
"Alas, Mr. Qin." Zhang Chaoyang showed a worried look on his face, "I can understand your idea of giving free trial of film and television resources to other colleagues, but Yiku.com..."
"After all, they spent real money, Davis won't be angry, right?"
"I'll explain this to Davis personally." Qin Shaoyan ignored Zhang Chaoyang's tea talk, " We are friends, and he will still give me this face. I will try my best to compensate him.”
"That's good." Zhang Chaoyang sighed, "I'm afraid it will affect the relationship between you."
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Qin Shaoyan said very calmly.
......
As soon as the two people entered the campus network company, the front desk immediately came over to report, "Mr. Qin, there is a foreigner named Davis Hansen waiting for you in the reception room. ”
Huh?
Why is he here just as soon as he was mentioned?
This is to call an army to hold me accountable. Just after you finished praising me, you gave me eye drops, right?
Qin Shaoyan walked towards the reception room expressionlessly. Zhang Chaoyang followed behind with a meaningful expression, not knowing what he was thinking about.
As soon as I entered the reception room, I saw Davis sitting on the sofa, meditating on the coffee on the table.
Hearing footsteps, Davis looked up and said, "John, you're back. How was the meeting today?"
"There is a little twist and turn. You know, the anti-piracy incident has damaged the interests of other video websites." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "Of course they will not be willing to do so and just make some small obstacles, but fortunately Charles and I have solved it."
"We have adjusted the plan a little to ensure that other colleagues will not affect us."
"Oh, that's good," Davis pointed. He nodded and seemed not to care much about the meeting.
Qin Shaoyan sighed softly, "Davis, in order to persuade the administrative agency to support us at today's meeting, I made a decision without authorization."
"I plan to broadcast it quickly. The online film and television resource library is shared with other video websites for free in exchange for their agreement to delete pirated resources.”
"Huh?" Davis was stunned, "Free?"
"Yes, it's free." Qin Shaoyan replied, "But enjoying the treatment for free is completely different from paying customers. They can only get Genuine resources, and Yiku.com will obtain all genuine resources from Qiaobo.com, and we will update the resource library in a timely manner to ensure that both Yiku.com and Qiaobo.com have the latest film and television resources."
"Also. , we will use all of the fifteen million dollars to purchase genuine resources to help Qvod.com and Yiku.com obtain more genuine content.”
“Oh, that’s good” Davis. Nodding, "I know you won't treat me badly, John."
"Of course, we are friends." Qin Shaoyan laughed.
Zhang Chaoyang was stunned as he watched, that's it?
The friendship between you two is too good, right? This matter has just been revealed without any bargaining?
Ask yourself, if Zhang Chaoyang were in Davis's position, he would not only express his dissatisfaction, but also give Qibo.com a hard blow.
Why are you so calm and calm?
Davis suddenly glanced at Zhang Chaoyang and said: "Charles, John and I have something to talk about alone. Please go out first."
Zhang Chaoyang was startled, then agreed, got up and walked out of the reception room with some reluctance.
It seems that the relationship between the two is really good.
Davis glanced at the closed door of the reception room and sighed softly, "John, I will return to the United States next week."
"Hey, so soon? "Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, "Has everything been handled in China?"
"No, the situation here is a little more complicated than I thought." Davis was a little depressed, "I not only have to deal with it. The company's daily affairs, formulating operational strategies, and mediating conflicts between corporate departments. "Oh my God, the documents I have to deal with every day are a foot high. I haven't even finished writing a report to Bill Gates. They occupy so much space." I have too many hours to work.”
"That's too bad." Qin Shaoyan said sympathetically.
"It's very bad." Davis looked at Qin Shaoyan seriously, "So you have to help me."
"Help you?" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, "This is not good, okay? , I mean it’s okay to help you with ideas, but it’s definitely not okay for you to ask me to help you write a report.”
“I think you can take care of this anti-piracy alliance. Write it into the report and talk about the game of China's video website market with Bill Gates. This may be a good reference for YouTube."
"Reference?" Davis was a little confused, "Yes. For reference, hasn’t YouTube already won the copyright lawsuit in a California court? ”
"But that doesn't mean you can sit back and relax. We just won part of it. What if the copyright holder is a company like Disney?" Qin Shaoyan asked, "It's impossible for YouTube to offend all TV stations, media and Hollywood. That would be too detrimental to YouTube. ”
“And what if they also follow Sohu’s example and sue the advertisers? No advertiser wants to get into this kind of trouble.”
“This is a big loophole. It's YouTube's Achilles' heel."
"Bill Gates just needs to figure it out, and you have a lot more to think about when writing a report. It's important, trust me."
There was a copyright war between YouTube, the originator of the video website, and Hulu, the new star in the industry.
When it was founded, Hulu only accounted for 2.6% of the market share of the online video industry, while YouTube was almost synonymous with online videos at the time.
But two years later, because all broadcasts were genuine TV movies from NBC and Fox, 80% of Hulu’s programs received advertising, while copyright risks meant that YouTube’s advertising volume was only 4 %.
Qin Shaoyan doesn’t care at all whether YouTube should resolve the copyright issue or not. Anyway, he is not a shareholder of YouTube now.
When writing a report, you have to be alarmist and have a gimmick, otherwise how will your boss remember you? You have to create a strong sense of presence.
"Hey, this is a very important point." Davis nodded. He suddenly felt that his report could be improved a bit, and his inspiration was like a fountain.
Davis quickly put the matter behind him, "John, I didn't come to you to ask about your report. Well, the report is not the main problem."
"The main problem I face now is How to solve the management problem of Qvod.com?”
Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, “The management of Qvod.com. What’s wrong with the management? Are there any problems?”
“There are many problems.” Davis said, “If I had known it would be like this, I should have dealt with it before Yiku.com was acquired. People clean up.”
“The management of Yiku.com is a little complicated now.”
It’s more than complicated, it’s simply more than that!
The management of Yiku.com includes Chinese Americans, Hong Kong Island, Wanwan, and Mainland employees.
Well, the employees in the mainland are basically at the bottom, and those in management positions are programmers. These people have no say in the company, but they do the main work.
The management has different ideas depending on the region of origin.
Basically, Hong Kong and Taiwan are fighting within themselves, and then they join forces to fight against Chinese Americans, while also guarding against local teams.
Naturally, the local teams that were discriminated against were not willing to be manipulated, so they began to perform technically poorly.
And the management is too busy messing with each other to pay attention to the local team that is failing.
Davis didn't notice either, because employees in the mainland were really not taken seriously and no one cared about them.
Well, Chen Guangxia told Qin Shaoyan these things.
Although Chen Guangxia has left Yiku.com, his contacts are still there and he can often get inside information.
When Davis first arrived in China this time, he still had great ambitions and planned to make some achievements at Qvod.com.
When I actually started to operate it, I found a bunch of insects all over TM.
And Davis has long had the idea of purging this group of people, and by the way, he blames Yiku.com for falsifying data. This is a worry for Davis.
But you also need to pay attention to some methods when hiring people, and you don’t just dismiss them rudely.
We need to quietly optimize people without letting them resent Davis as their boss.
"So, what should I do?" Davis said with some sadness, "John, you have the best idea."
"Uh." Qin Shaoyan said hesitantly, "This is an internal matter of your company. , How can I have the nerve to interfere?”
“Come on, John, we are best friends,” Davis said nonchalantly. , "When I'm working, I often consult friends from different investment companies, and Yiku.com also has a relationship with you."
"Okay, okay." Qin Shaoyan sighed helplessly, "Then I I’ll help you think about it.”
Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds and said slowly: “What do you think of the affirmative action?”
"What?" Davis was stunned, "What affirmative action?"
"Don't you think there are very few female employees at Yiku.com?" Qin Shaoyan asked, "The proportion of female employees in the company How many are there?”
“I haven’t counted this, but there are indeed not many female employees in the company.” Davis frowned.
“This is the biggest problem.” Qin Shaoyan slapped his thigh, “Yiku.com may be involved in recruitment discrimination, and the proportion of women in Yiku.com’s management is too small, which does not meet the standards of equal rights at all. "
Davis suddenly understood something, and his eyes gradually brightened, "You mean to recruit more female employees?"
"This is for women's rights!" Qin Shaoyan said solemnly, "Yiku.com should be built as a benchmark, so that it can gain a good reputation in the United States."
"Yes, yes!" Davis snapped. Nodding, "The proportion of men in the company is too high and it is really inappropriate. We need to recruit more women and maintain a one-to-one gender ratio in management!"
"Whoever dares to object is discriminating against women!"
“One to one is not enough!” Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, “We want more women to enter the workplace, and we must gradually increase the number! At the same time, we must pay attention to protecting the rights and interests of female employees, and establish a complete mechanism to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.”
“That’s right!” Davis became excited instantly, “As long as there are more female employees, everything will be fine.”
With female employees, there are more excuses to deal with those people.
Director
What? You said you weren't harassed?
If you say you have it, girls can still slander you!
Davis has already hatched several schemes and plans. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea of expanding the proportion of female employees was a very good one.
Qin Shaoyan also encouraged beside him: "Why don't you just shout a slogan and create an all-female company, that will attract more attention."
"No, no, no, no." Davis shook his head quickly, " I also need Yiku.com to maintain its normal status, it is very important.”
“As long as the technical team is retained. That’s enough, other departments can adjust,” Qin Shaoyan encouraged, “Nowadays, women’s salaries are generally lower than men’s. This can save a lot of expenses and at the same time show that Yiku.com attaches great importance to women. It’s a win-win situation!” br>
"Well, I think we can do it now." Davis said happily.
