Chapter 267 Where is your video?
Do you really not care, or are you being polite?
Qin Shaoyan pondered over what Bill Gates said.
But there is a high probability that he really doesn’t care. After all, he is also the richest man in the world and the chairman of Microsoft.
There is no need to worry about a business acquisition worth hundreds of millions of dollars, otherwise what would the people below do?
To put it seriously, YouTube is what Bill Gates really cares about.
Fortunately, YouTube really wants to sell.
Qin Shaoyan turned on the computer, logged in to YouTube, found the video Bill Gates had just uploaded through search, and then put the video on the homepage recommendation through super administrator rights.
Then I downloaded the video from the background, opened Qvod.com, registered an account for Bill Gates, and uploaded the video.
After making the same recommendation on the home page, Qin Shaoyan thought about it and found that something was missing.
It seems that he had invited Ma Huateng, Ding Sanshi, and Zhang Chaoyang to participate in the "Ice Bucket Challenge" before. Now that Bill Gates has fulfilled his promise, why are they silent?
They are all leaders in the Internet industry and should contribute to the Internet.
As a person who loves charity, Qin Shaoyan feels that he has the responsibility to bring these people to participate in charity. This is a great thing for accumulating merit.
Qin Shaoyan picked up the phone himself, called Ma Huateng, and said directly: "Mr. Ma, are you convenient now?"
Ma Huateng was a little confused, "Mr. Qin, what can I do for you? ?”
"Please open the Qvod and YouTube pages and take a look." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Did you see the video recommended on the homepage?"
Ma Huateng was stunned for a moment, "Yes, it's Bill Gates , Hey, what are you doing?”
“Have you forgotten,” Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, “This is the ice bucket challenge, for publicity of rare diseases.”
“I invited you to participate before, together with Bill Gates.”
“Now that Bill Gates has finished, Mr. Ma will also record a video when he finds time. I’ll send it to you on the homepage of YouTube and Qvod. Then I’ll put it with Bill Gates.”
Only then did Ma Huateng recall that this had indeed happened. It had been two months, and he had long forgotten about it.
"Remember, remember, how could you forget." Ma Huateng said immediately, "It's just that there has been no news from Mr. Qin, so I didn't upload the video."
"Let's do it, tomorrow I will upload the video in the morning and ask Mr. Qin to pin it for me."
"No problem, this is not worth mentioning." Qin Shaoyan agreed quickly, "I will do it right away. I’ll help you put it on the homepage recommendation.”
“Thank you, Mr. Qin.” Ma Huateng thanked him quickly, and then asked, “Mr. Qin, I heard that your Qvod.com... is for sale. Did it fall?”
"YouTube is interested in acquiring it, but my shareholders have some differences with the other party." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "Now the negotiations are deadlocked."
"I heard it is because of the price issue, right?" Ma Huateng was curious. He asked, "How much is it?"
"Well..." Qin Shaoyan hesitated, "This is a business secret. It is not easy to disclose it, but Mr. Ma is not an outsider. I think Mr. Ma I won’t disclose it to others casually.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Qin, I will definitely not tell anyone.” Ma Huateng quickly promised.
"YouTube's asking price is US$240 million. The shareholders think it is too low and want US$360 million." Qin Shaoyan said helplessly, "Both parties are unwilling to give in now, and I agree. Difficult.”
"Three hundred and sixty million US dollars?!" Ma Huateng was shocked. "Isn't the asking price too high?!"
"It's a bit high, but aside from other things, Qvod.net is worth it. So much money." Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "Quabo.com is China's first video website, growing very fast, and has huge market potential."
"It is developing in the same way as YouTube, which is the benchmark. , now YouTube’s valuation has reached 1.2 billion US dollars, so the value of Kuaibo.com is not overvalued, but undervalued.”
“Yahoo, Microsoft and Google, these companies are all interested in YouTube. Very optimistic, now YouTube urgently needs to acquire Kuaibo Network to increase its valuation and sell itself at a good price." "YouTube's valuation has reached 1.2 billion US dollars?" Ma Huateng was even more shocked. Well, in his memory, the website YouTube had not been around for long, so why had its valuation inflated to this point?
US$1.2 billion is 9.6 billion RMB, which is almost as much as the market value of the entire Penguin.
"Bill Gates talked to me and he wanted to acquire YouTube." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "The acquisition price may be more than 1.5 billion US dollars."
"So YouTube shareholders There is a very urgent need to increase the website's valuation and want to raise the acquisition price to two billion US dollars."
"..." Ma Huateng was shocked by this series of inside information.
Is a video website so valuable? There are so many giants offering high prices to compete for it.
Leaving aside YouTube, even Qvod.com has shown unparalleled worth and has been favored by capital.
Ma Huateng immediately decided that he must have a hand in the video website industry.
No matter how good the video website is, at least it has a great stimulating effect on the stock price.
Qin Shaoyan then had a phone call with Ding Sanshi and Zhang Chaoyang, accidentally revealing the current impasse between Qvod and YouTube.
Soon, the exclusive inside information spread throughout the Internet circle in a very short period of time.
Some portals even held meetings overnight to discuss the emerging field of video websites.
The Internet heroes are gearing up, and capital is waving money with greed, looking for opportunities to enter the game.
……
When Xiao Xiaomeng, a user of Qvod.com, opened the video website the next day, he was surprised to find a different video on the homepage.
On the cover of the video was Bill Gates, the richest man in the world. When Xiao Xiaomeng turned her attention to the video publishing account, her eyes suddenly widened.
Account ID: BillGates, the introduction also says "Official certification of the website".
Xiao Xiaomeng rubbed her eyes and opened her mouth wide for a long time, unable to close it.
Oh my god, did you read it correctly? This is Bill Gates, right?
He actually also plays video websites!
Isn’t it just a fake headline?
Nowadays, some people on the website do various tricks in order to increase their views.
The headlines are all about basic operations, and there are also all kinds of interesting content in the video.
All kinds of edges and large-scale pictures are available.
However, these videos did not survive for more than a day before being reviewed by the website.
But the headline-grabbing parties have survived tenaciously. After all, they are only defrauding users and have no illegal content.
So Xiao Xiaomeng actually clicked on a video. Except for the first few seconds that she wanted to watch, the rest was all about a blond man dancing cheaply.
Now there is a so-called "official website certified" Bill Gates, which piques Xiao Xiaomeng's interest.
Xiao Xiaomeng curiously clicked on the video, and it turned out to be Bill Gates in person, talking non-stop.
Because there were no subtitles, Xiao Xiaomeng felt like he was listening to a book from heaven. It took him a long time to react and grabbed his best friend and roommate.
"Aya, come and help me translate. What is the world's richest man saying?"
Aya walked over helplessly and picked up the earphones, "Haven't you already passed Level 4?"
"Oh, my English listening is very poor, unlike you who are in the subtitle group." Xiao Xiaomeng hugged He shook Aya's arm and said, "Hurry up and translate for me."
Aya listened to a few words, and then organized her language, "He was talking about charity or something, and was attracted by Mr. Qin I was invited to participate in this event.”
“I haven’t heard of a word he said. It seems to be a professional term.”
“Hey, he said the ice bucket challenge. ”
Then the two of them stared at Bill Gates dumbfounded, and he took out a bucket full of ice water and poured it directly over his head. The bitingly cold water soaked through his clothes instantly, and Bill Gates shivered visibly.
Xiao Xiaomeng was confused, "It's still winter, right?"
Aya was also stunned, "It seems so."
"This is also It’s so cruel.” Xiao Xiaomeng exclaimed, “Who invented this thing? It’s so ridiculous.”
"I am pouring cold water on myself in the middle of winter. Is the richest man in the world full of food? Will this help charity?"
"Donating money directly or picking up garbage is better than wasting water. Let's do it."
Aya said casually: "The world's richest man will give you a performance of ice water topping. What else do you want, just ask if you like it."
"You really do. "Xiao Xiaomeng said honestly, "Although I don't understand, I respect the blessing."
"Huh," Aya said in surprise, "He was talking about video websites at the end. He said that he likes video websites. I hope more netizens will join in.”
"Ouch!" Xiao Xiaomeng opened her mouth wide, "Are you promoting Qvod.com?"
"Who is the boss of Qvod.com? He has such great connections that he can hire Bill Guy. Ci gave him publicity.”
“It seems that Qvod Network and Campus Network have the same owner,” Aya reminded, “Don’t you remember, when Qvod Network was first launched, Campus Network gave it to him. It does a lot of advertising.”
“You said at the time that because Campus Network gave you the prize, you wouldn’t scold it if it advertised again.”
"As expected of the boss of Campus Network, they are really awesome!" Xiao Xiaomeng praised, "I remember they also cooperated with the International Olympic Committee."
"Hey, this video is also about the Ice Bucket Challenge."
"This person..." Xiao Xiaomeng was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, "It seems to be the boss of QQ, what's the name of Ma?"
Aya took a look and said, "It's Ma Huateng, the boss of NetEase, the boss of Sohu, and the boss of Baidu."
On this day, Qvod.com almost caused a sensation in the entire world. internet.
A video website is so impressive that it allows several Internet giants to personally record videos and upload them to the homepage. This is giving it a platform.
In particular, Bill Gates’ video reached three million views in less than three hours.
The video of Bill Gates participating in the ice bucket challenge has been widely circulated and reposted on social networking sites.
The communication effect brought by the top status of the world's richest man is very huge. In this Internet era, celebrities come with various auras and blessings.
How blogs and Weibo got started is that they spent a lot of money to invite a large number of celebrities to blog, which brought extremely high traffic.
What's more, Bill Gates himself is a traffic black hole, and other Internet celebrities are not on the same level as him.
The users who heard about it instantly overwhelmed the server of Qvod.com, and the huge traffic directly brought down the website. After several repairs, it was still stuck.
Everyone is watching Bill Gates wash his hair with ice water, and they are watching it repeatedly, and they are talking about what he is doing.
The editors of the portal website have written more than a dozen manuscripts and are waiting to be reviewed by the editor-in-chief and sent out.
The editor-in-chief is also in a lot of pain, so don’t post it because you won’t be able to get the traffic.
If you post it, you will be promoting Qvod.com for free.
So the editor-in-chief had to report it to the supervisor at different levels and ask for his opinion.
The supervisor soon gave his opinion, "Hurry up and post it, Qvod.com's public relations fees have been paid!"
The editors were overjoyed and immediately began to publish the various manuscripts they had. to the web page.
After the fermentation of the portal website, the reputation of Kuaibo.com spread throughout the Chinese Internet.
Campus.com, Tianya, Maopu, major forums, and blogs are all discussing Qvod.com.
Celebrities have praised Bill Gates and called on everyone to care about public welfare.
There are several cultural celebrities with strong pens, who criticize the world's richest man from various angles, and wish to praise him as a saint of the world.
Then there are short stories in the style of "Yilin", criticizing the country by the way.
What ordinary netizens pay attention to is that Qvod has a wide variety of movies and TV series, including European, American, Japanese, Korean, Hong Kong and Taiwan movies.
After all, these are the most popular contents on Qvod. Domestic selfies are not interesting at all.
Everyone no longer has to worry about being bored while surfing the Internet at night. By searching on Qvod.com, there are countless movies and TV series that can accompany them to pass the lonely night.
......
Qin Shaoyan looked at the skyrocketing data in the background of Qvod.com and felt very satisfied.
The card of Bill Gates is so useful, and I want to sell YouTube to you in vain. The free advertising is so worth it.
Xiong Xiaoge called directly to express his congratulations, "As expected of Mr. Qin, this wave of public opinion campaign is quite beautiful."
“The public service publicity was used to cover up the advertisements of Qvod.com, and it was done perfectly.”
“The momentum of Qvod.com shocked other websites.”
“Mr. Xiong deserves the award. "Qin Shaoyan said modestly, "It's just a small trick."
"How did you convince Bill Gates to promote it to you?" Xiong Xiaoge asked curiously.
"Mr. Bill Gates is very enthusiastic about public welfare, I just mentioned it a little bit." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.
Xiong Xiaoge didn't really want to explore this matter, so he changed the topic and said, "Taking this opportunity, can YouTube agree to our conditions?"
"It's hard to say." Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "After all, they also They don’t have that much money, but they are reluctant to part with Qvod.”
“Then keep going.” Xiong Xiaoge laughed, “The situation is favorable to us now.”
“Mr. You're right, I have the advantage now." Qin Shaoyan said immediately, "I have contacted the reporter and am preparing to create another soft article to promote public welfare."
"Okay!" Xiong Xiaoge was overjoyed, "That's the right thing to do. Mr. Qin, just go ahead and do it. Don't be afraid of spending money. We can't save public relations expenses at this stage."
"If you invest one dollar, you can get a valuation of ten dollars."
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiong." Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly, "The next step is to invite celebrities to join Qvod.com."
"Why write a blog? Outputting text is a thing of the past. It's time to use video lectures."
Hearing these words, Xiong Xiaoge felt reassured. It seemed that Qin Shaoyan had prepared a lot of cards.
While there are no other competitors in the market, attract as many users as possible and grab the biggest piece of the cake.
Just when Qin Shaoyan was thinking about his next plan, Ma Huateng called.
"Mr. Qin, where is your video?"
"What video?!" Qin Shaoyan was stunned for a moment.
“It’s the video of you participating in the Ice Bucket Challenge.” Ma Huateng felt a little strange, “Didn’t you invite me and Bill Gates to participate in the Ice Bucket Challenge, sneeze!”
"Ah sneeze...I didn't see your video on the video website."
