Chapter 306
“The main feature of our video website is to focus on film and television entertainment programs and music MVs, completely abandoning video content uploaded by individual users.”
“Because the vast majority of users The video content is meaningless garbage, which has no meaning except a waste of server resources.”
“According to the playback volume and video interaction data, users spend most of their time looking for movies, TV series and videos on the website. Variety shows. ”
“So we planned to take the high-quality route from the beginning, starting from film and television dramas, variety shows, music MVs and other works, to create a high-end video website that only produces high-quality products. ”
This time, the person who came to invest was a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a suit. He was dressed with oily hair and a pink face, and he was holding a plan and talking.
Singer Xiong Xiao held a copy of the plan in his hand and stared at the young man opposite him expressionlessly, listening to the other person's slightly stiff Mandarin, which was also mixed with various difficult English vocabulary.
For Xiong Xiaoge, the other party's way of speaking is really crude and a bit funny. Some places where professional terms should be used are in Chinese, and words are thrown around when they are not needed.
But he has also received professional training. No matter how funny the other person is, he will never laugh.
After all, the other party was here to defraud him of money. Xiong Xiaoge had a good temper, but he couldn't stand there being too many scammers, which made him a little impatient.
It's just that this entrepreneur was introduced by others, and Xiong Xiaoge couldn't help but refute his friend's reputation, so he arranged to meet.
After listening to the other party talk for ten minutes, Xiong Xiaoge interrupted the other party, "Is your website going to adopt a high-quality strategy?"
"Our website is positioned to attract high-end users. These people have a stronger ability to pay.” The young man replied confidently, “Our plan is to attract high-value users through high-quality content and rely on the payment of high-value users to produce more high-quality content.”
Xiong Xiaoge still had an indifferent expression, "So how did the high-quality content of the website come from in the early stage?"
"Relying on the resources on the Internet, we will set up a department specifically responsible for high-quality content to find high-quality content from the Internet. Upload it to the website." The young man became more and more excited.
"There is a large amount of high-quality video content on YouTube, and high-quality film and television dramas and variety shows from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea can also be found on the mainland's Internet. These are resources we can use."
Xiong Xiaoge's mouth He twitched and said, "You're talking about piracy, right?"
"NO, the spirit of the Internet is sharing, this is a free space." The young man said with a relaxed face, "The California Court of Justice announced in December last year It has been ruled that uploading and broadcasting TV programs on YouTube is not illegal.”
“But this is China,” Xiong Xiaoge said.
“On the mainland Internet, administrative agencies are still blank in terms of network laws and policies.” The young man still smiled confidently, “This is a good period for the development of the Internet.”
Xiong Xiaoge finally couldn't help it anymore, "Although laws and regulations always lag behind in emerging industries, legislation and supervision will eventually come."
"Copyright disputes trigger litigation, which will be detrimental to listing."< br>
"It doesn't matter." The young man said confidently, "We only adopt the transfer strategy in the early stage, use the transferred high-quality content to quickly accumulate users, and then start to make our own content and charge membership fees, so that we can make a profit."< br>
“Use profit funds to produce high-quality content and attract more users. As long as the initial funds are sufficient, the website will soon enter a virtuous cycle.”
“At that time, we will gradually eliminate Copyright disputed content. ”
"..." Xiong Xiaoge looked at the other party and suddenly remembered something.
We do not produce high-quality content, we are just a porter of high-quality content.
"Go back first. We will notify you of any news later." Xiong Xiaoge said calmly.
The young man on the opposite side was a little shocked, "Mr. Xiong, what about IDG's investment?"
"We need to do some research first, and then we can make a decision after discussion." Xiong Xiaoge said patiently Say polite words.
The young man frowned, obviously the development of the matter was beyond his expectation, "Mr. Xiong, it's only 10 million in financing. Do you still need to discuss something that you can decide by yourself?"
" It would be a pity to miss a project with such potential as ours."
Xiong Xiaoge rolled his eyes and resisted the urge to curse.
Why don’t you pee and look in the mirror? If you say 10 million, it’s 10 million.
"This is a necessary process. You should go back and wait for the news." Xiong Xiaoge said with a sullen face, "Xiao Wang, see the guests off."
The young man stood up with some disappointment, shook hands with Xiong Xiaoge, turned around and walked out.
At this time, Zhou Dao hurriedly walked into Xiong Xiaoge's office holding the newspaper.
Xiong Xiaoge’s face darkened immediately, “What are you recommending to me?!”
“Building a video website depends entirely on piracy. Does anyone believe this weird idea?”< br>
Zhou Dao was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly: "Mr. Xiong, don't be angry. We have never seen any kind of entrepreneurs in our industry. It's not like that."
Their venture capitalists are also well-informed, and Zhou Dao has even seen mental illness.
While we were talking, he suddenly came out with a bucket of gasoline, threatened the venture capital manager with a lighter, and set fire to him if he refused to invest money. I heard that some people even wanted to jump off the building if they refused to invest.
In comparison, liars and cheaters are both acceptable.
Xiong Xiaoge frowned and suddenly asked: "Has Qin Shaoyan's Kuaibo Network been buying copyrights?"
"Yes." Zhou Dao was a little surprised, "Previously, Mr. Qin wasn't Did I tell you that a large part of this financing will be used to purchase copyrights? He said that he should buy it while it’s cheap.”
Xiong Xiaoge sighed, "Qin Shaoyan is still looking far ahead."
In fact, other venture capital investors have weird things to say about purchasing copyrights.
Piracy is rampant on the Internet today. No one cares about copyright and is frantically moving and uploading various pirated resources.
Kuaibo.com is the most copyright-conscious and spends money everywhere to buy online broadcast copyrights instead of investing in the operation and development of the website.
Someone had hinted to Xiong Xiaoge before, asking him to come forward and persuade Qin Shaoyan not to waste money anymore, but to spend money to capture the market first and then talk about copyright.
Xiong Xiaoge hesitated and decided to remain silent. After all, Qin Shaoyan was just buying the copyright and was not making money.
He doesn't like to interfere with how the website is operated and developed.
Zhou Dao interjected: "Mr. Qin is not just buying the copyright now, Qiubo.com has already started making its own dramas."
"I met Kuaibo Media a few days ago. Director Xia, I heard that the TV series they invested in has been launched and will be sold to the TV station. "Huh?" Xiong Xiaoge became alert, "Have you seen the crew? ”
"That's not true." Zhou Dao was a little confused, "But Director Xia said that the crew is over there in Pinggu, what is it called the film and television base."
"Take the time to go there and have a look." Xiong Xiaoge He warned, "Look what they are doing."
Zhou Dao instantly understood what Xiong always meant. He was afraid that there was a ghost here.
"Okay." Zhou Dao nodded, "I'll go take a look tomorrow and look for information about this drama." "By the way, Mr. Xiong, have you read the newspaper?"
< br>
Xiong Xiaoge was stunned for a moment, "What happened again?"
"It's about Mr. Qin." Zhou Dao put the newspaper on the table with a smile, unfolded it and pointed it to Xiong Xiaoge.
Xiong Xiaoge glanced at it and found that the title was "The 5th Textile Expo opened successfully."
"Relevant department leaders attended the Textile Expo and delivered an important speech...he emphasized ... He pointed out... He said... He demanded"
These official articles were skipped directly, and Xiong Xiaoge's eyes fell on the photo on the front page of the newspaper.
Qin Shaoyan stood in front of a group of leaders, holding a piece of textile and explaining with a smile on his face.
Behind him is a wooden loom and a sign.
The logo on the wall reads "Huarong Brocade Clothing Co., Ltd."
The following is a report that Huarong Brocade Co., Ltd. has won an overseas order of US$200 million.
Xiong Xiaoge frowned, "What kind of airplane is Qin Shaoyan doing? Why don't he just stop working on the Internet and go sell clothes?"
"Mr. Xiong, this Huarong Brocade Clothing Company is a bit interesting." Zhou Dao smiled, "They were two companies before, and then they merged into one. For the last Global International Marathon, they were Facebook's custom clothing company. Supplier, and the only one."
"This company also won the clothing order for the National Games."
Xiong Xiaoge was a little surprised, "What is the background of this company?"
Zhou Dao shook his head, "On the surface, they are two local clothing companies in Wuzhong. The bosses are ordinary entrepreneurs. I don't see anything special."
Xiong Xiaoge thought for a moment, took out his mobile phone and directly Called Qin Shaoyan.
After the other party connected, Xiong Xiaoge said calmly: "Mr. Qin, I heard that you started selling clothes again, and you are quite successful. You won an order of 200 million US dollars in one move. Congratulations."
Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning."
"The main reason is that Facebook is going to start e-commerce. I will help them find stable and reliable ones." Supplier."
Xiong Xiaoge kept sneering in his heart. He guessed without asking that Qin Shaoyan had shares in this supplier's company.
This method of transferring benefits is not new at all, it is too old-fashioned.
I don’t know if Facebook can make money by doing e-commerce, but Qin Shaoyan definitely made money.
"I came to Jiangsu Province this time to sell clothes, mainly because I signed a contract with Qvod.com for the National Games webcast." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.
"Oh~" Xiong Xiaoge asked casually, "So how is the progress?"
"The leader has given instructions and strongly supports it." Qin Shaoyan smiled beamingly, "I'm still here Discuss specific details with relevant departments..."
Huh?
Wait a minute?
Xiong Xiaoge was confused at this time. Has the online live broadcast of the National Games already been won?
Why so fast?
Xiong Xiaoge couldn't hear Qin Shaoyan's words behind him, and he asked eagerly: "Have you taken it?"
"Yes." Qin Shaoyan felt that Xiong Xiaoge's reaction was a bit strange, "We have already started talking Relevant departments are negotiating the details.”
"How...how did you do this?" Xiong Xiaoge was a little surprised and curious.
"It's just a little bit of public relations skills, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." Qin Shaoyan said vaguely.
Xiong Xiaoge's eyes have fallen on the newspaper at this time. On the front page news photo is not only Qin Shaoyan, but also several leaders, especially the leaders clustered in the middle.
A little PR trick?
Qin Shaoyan must have used his connections again, otherwise it would not have been so easy.
"This is a good thing!" Xiong Xiaoge cheered up, "This online live broadcast right is very meaningful, we need to publicize it well."
This news is good for Qvod.com, and it is indeed worth bragging about.
Qin Shaoyan responded calmly, "This is just the live broadcast rights of the National Games, which is relatively simple. The more difficult thing is the live broadcast of the Olympic Games, which is the most valuable. "
"The National Games webcast is just a preview of applying for the Olympic Games webcast."
"Whether we can win this battle is the most important thing."
Xiong Xiaoge also came back from the joy, nodded slightly, and agreed: "Mr. Qin has the style of a general."
"Only if this live broadcast is done well and beautiful, can we have a chance to go to the Olympics. "
Qin Shaoyan said seriously: "I have asked Kou Hongfei to form a special technical team and assign technical backbones to be responsible for this live broadcast. "
Xiong Xiaoge asked again: "How is the online live broadcast going? No?"
"There is no technical problem," Qin Shaoyan replied in a relaxed tone, "We will use new technical methods to conduct live broadcasts."
Speaking of online TV live broadcast, we have to mention the TV software PPlive.
The founder originally came up with the idea because he wanted to watch football games. During the 2002 World Cup, there were no TVs in college dormitories, so students could only rent rooms in hotels or go to roadside shops to watch TV.
At that time, they thought it would be great if they could watch TV on the Internet, so several students developed this software.
In August 2005, Xiangnan Satellite TV valued PPlive and cooperated with it.
So PPlive relied on providing network simulcast for the first "Super Girl" competition, successfully creating 500,000 people to watch the "Super Girl" finals online, and became famous in one battle.
In order to do a good job in the online broadcast of the National Games, Kou Hongfei specially developed a quick broadcast client software in accordance with Qin Shaoyan's requirements.
As long as you download the Qvod software, you can watch it online.
......
With the leadership's instructions, the relevant departments acted quickly, and someone immediately contacted Qin Shaoyan.
"Hello, President Qin." A middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses smiled and stretched out his hand, "My name is Qian Guoming."
"Hello, Director Qian." Qin Shaoyan held the other person's hands enthusiastically, "I'm going to trouble Director Qian this time and please give us more guidance in our work." Let's work together to successfully complete the live broadcast of the National Games," Director Qian said with a smile, "This is also the first time that we have used online live broadcast technology in a large-scale sports event in China, which is very historic."
" We have mobilized all the technical backbones to ensure this live broadcast and will never disappoint the leader's instructions," Qin Shaoyan said seriously.
Director Qian smiled and nodded, and suddenly said: "Mr. Qin, your public service advertisement was very good."
