Chapter 331 Industry Report
Qin Shaoyan's face darkened when he heard this, and he retorted: "What do you mean, I'm just like a professional liar."
Zhang Pingyi looked at it with disdain. If you glance at him, others may not understand you, but I, who started your business with you, know it all too well.
If nothing else, I still vividly remember the incident of the Olympic publicity network. It has only been two years since it happened.
Forgot? !
Zhang Pingyi said expressionlessly: "Whose money are you trying to defraud this time?"
"It has nothing to do with money." Qin Shaoyan defended, "Isn't there a trace of trust between us?"
br>
“Haha.” Zhang Pingyi smiled and said nothing.
“This website of mine is the official website for the China Internet Development Research Association.” Qin Shaoyan explained patiently.
Zhang Pingyi asked: "What kind of organization is this China Internet Research Association?"
"It's a think tank research institution that specializes in studying domestic Internet development."
"I don't think I've heard of it." Zhang Pingyi frowned, "In what year were they established."
"Well, it was established this year." Qin Shaoyan replied.
Zhang Pingyi asked worriedly: "Is it a serious organization?"
"Of course it is a serious organization." Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "The vice president of the association is Penguin. Mr. Ma, Mr. Ding from NetEase, Mr. Zhang from Sohu.”
"Huh?" Zhang Mingyi was a little surprised, "This thing really looks like that. They didn't let you be a vice president or something?"
"They invited me, but I declined. "Yes." Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "I'm not humble. How can I be on an equal footing with the Internet giants of these listed companies? But they gave me the title of honorary director. I don't think it's for nothing." I think we should help them create an official website to promote it.”
Zhang Pingyi nodded, but he felt something was wrong in his heart.
Qin Shaoyan directly pulled Zhang Pingyi to sit down, pushed the laptop away from him, and urged: "Come on, come on, finish this matter quickly, finish it early, finish it early."
Zhang Pingyi turned on the computer in confusion and asked subconsciously: "Does this website have any requirements?"
"There are no special requirements, just an ordinary website with some photos on it." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "Just use the Olympic public welfare website template and apply it."
"You can fool people like this. "?" Zhang Pingyi asked.
“They don’t understand anyway, as long as the website can be used.” Qin Shaoyan also got busy, “Let’s hang it on the company server.”
In a daze, Zhang Mingyi seemed to Back in the private room of the small Internet cafe two years ago, the two of them were sitting side by side, studying the website together.
This moment is just like that moment.
It's just that their identities are completely different.
......
Wang Wei, the boss of Tudou.com, looked at the middle-aged man wearing a shirt and glasses in front of him, and then looked at the ID in his hand, a little wary.
"You are from the Internet Research Association?"
"It is the China Internet Development Research Association." Xun Ziliang corrected.
Wang Wei asked curiously: "Then what do you usually study?"
"It is mainly based on relevant government policies and domestic Internet development." Xun Ziliang talked eloquently, "The forward-looking innovation of the Internet , Domestic Internet development trends, various data dynamics, in-depth analysis of problems exposed in the development process of the Internet, and analysis of laws and regulations issued by administrative departments. "
"Usually, it is to inspect the development of various Internet companies. Write some research reports and give them to the leaders of the relevant departments for reference."
Wang Wei nodded in confusion, and he couldn't figure out where the other party was coming from.
The name "China Internet Development Research Association" was too deceptive, and it was a research institution under a think tank, so he had to deal with it carefully.
Xun Ziliang took the briefcase from the secretary's hand, took out a few pages from it and handed it over, "Wang, please have time to fill out this questionnaire."
Wang Wei took it and took a look. He found that there were many questions written densely on it. Fortunately, they were all multiple-choice questions, otherwise he would have thrown them back on the spot.
"Secretary-General Xun, do you...do you need to fill it out now?"
"That's not necessary. Mr. Wang can just take the time to write it down. After you finish writing it, you can mail it or fax it to the address above. Xun Ziliang added, "This is a voluntary survey. It would be best if you could participate."
Wang Wei glanced at the questionnaire and found that the questions above covered a wide range.
From the current situation of the Internet industry to the company's operating philosophy, there are also certain aspects that encounter various difficulties and are eager to improve.
Everything from network communication infrastructure to taxation, policies and regulations.
In one word, professional!
Wang Wei pondered for a moment, "Secretary-General Xun, how do you need our Tudou.com to cooperate?"
"This inspection is mainly to understand the development speed of video websites. It is best to be able to "Provide some data on this quarter's website," Xun Ziliang asked tentatively, "I don't know if it's convenient."
"Oh, by the way." Xun Ziliang added, "The investigation report will be published on the official website of our association. If it involves company secrets, Mr. Wang can refuse to provide them."
"Hey, you guys still There is an official website." Wang Wei thought for a moment and said with a smile, "These data are not secret to begin with. They can be released casually, but they have to wait for me to sort them out."
"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your support of our work. "Xun Ziliang stood up, shook hands with Wang Wei vigorously, and at the same time took out a business card and handed it over.
"After the data is sorted, it can be sent to my work email."
"Okay, no problem." Wang Wei also stood up and sent Xun Ziliang out of the office.
Wang Wei turned around and opened the IE browser, and opened the official website of the "China Internet Development Research Association" according to the URL on Xun Ziliang's business card.
At first glance, the webpage looks very simple and ordinary. There are no fancy pictures, it is just a simple webpage.
There are several photos on it, basically photos of the main members of the association, and there is also a photo of what looks like an administrative department meeting in the auditorium.
There are various web links hanging below. When you open them, you will see all kinds of Internet-related things, including various Internet data in previous years, predictions of Internet development prospects, and Internet-related laws and regulations.
Looking at the list of main members of this association, in addition to Secretary-General Xun Ziliang, the vice-presidents include Penguin’s Ma Huateng, NetEase’s Ding Sanshi, and Sohu’s Zhang Chaoyang.
Wang Wei was stunned when he saw this lineup. This Development Research Association has a lot of background.
He then searched again and actually found relevant news on NetEase and Sohu.
NetEase's news simply stated that Ding Sanshi was hired as vice president, and also attached a photo of Xun Ziliang and Ding Sanshi.
Sohu’s is similar, but the protagonist becomes Zhang Chaoyang.
After reading this, Wang Wei no longer had any doubts. He immediately retrieved various data from Tudou.com from the background and began to sort it out.
It was inevitable to beautify and modify it, and then sent it to Secretary-General Xun’s mailbox.
......
After Secretary-General Xun’s busy work, we finally collected data from more than a dozen larger video websites, and the results were quite fruitful.
Looking at the thick stack of printed reports, Qin Shaoyan was very satisfied.
Getting data these days is not as convenient as it was in later generations, so you can only find a way to do it yourself.
Especially this first-hand information is quite precious.
The name "China Internet Development Research Association" is still very useful. Qin Shaoyan made up his mind to let this organization exist for a few more years and use it to death if it is useful. Similar high-end organizations are everywhere, and each one sounds more bluffing than the next. Even more than ten years later, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
For example, "China XX Society" and "National Dental Prevention Group" have deceived everyone for a long time.
Soon Qin Shaoyan was attracted by the research report in his hand. After some research, he frowned.
"Well, it seems that the situation of other colleagues is really not optimistic."
Qin Shaoyan put down the report in his hand very melancholy and sighed heavily.
The data report in hand has been beautified by the website itself, but it still seems unusable.
"This won't work." Qin Shaoyan decisively picked up the pen and made some corrections and adjustments on various data.
After a little water injection, Qin Shaoyan compiled a new data report.
According to this "authoritative" report issued by the "China Internet Development Research Association", the number of domestic video websites has reached 216, of which 17 have more than 1 million users.
Kuaibo.com has surpassed all others in terms of the number of users, reaching 10 million.
The second-placed Yiku.com has only 5.6 million users, less than 60% of Kuaibo.com.
Tudou ranked third with 4.8 million.
The fourth place is Youku.com, which is not too far behind Tudou. It also has 3.9 million users.
After compiling the report, Qin Shaoyan picked up his phone with satisfaction.
“Hey, Bingbing, I have an investigation report on domestic video websites. Please help me find some media and magazines.”
“Yes, you don’t need to make the front page, you can Just send it out. ”
“Ask the source of the data. This is the data provided by each website. It is absolutely true. You can indicate the source. The data is for reference only.”
…
Soon, the "Domestic Video Website Development Report" written by the "China Internet Development Research Association" appeared in the media and magazines, and even Sina, NetEase and Sohu reprinted the news.
The report not only describes the origin and development of the video website clearly and in detail, but also provides detailed data.
Including user growth rate curves of several top video websites, average daily visits, and number of active users.
The report also boldly predicts that by next year the number of video websites in my country will reach more than 400, and competition in the industry will become increasingly fierce.
At the same time, the report is very optimistic about the future prospects of video websites, believing that this will be a huge market worth tens of billions of yuan.
As soon as this report came out, the spirits of colleagues on the video website were lifted.
What is this?
This is good news for the industry released by relevant departments. This shows that everyone is optimistic about the video website industry.
Video websites have a lot of potential, there are tens of billions of markets, why don’t you hurry up and invest money.
As for the data in the report not matching the data they provided, this small problem was ignored by everyone with a tacit understanding.
This is the data provided by the "China Internet Development Research Association". Isn't it more authoritative than small websites like yours?
Qubao.com was also shocked when seeing this report. It originally thought that other peers were just like this and could easily defeat their opponents and wait for the IPO.
It turned out that these colleagues were hiding quite deeply.
Kou Hongfei came to see Mr. Qin urgently and asked what the next countermeasures would be.
Qin Shaoyan comforted Kou Hongfei and told him to finish a few projects and stabilize his position, and the rest would be fine.
After being sent away, Qin Shaoyan's cell phone rang again.
Picked it up and saw that the caller ID was Xiong Xiaoge. Qin Shaoyan hung up without thinking, threw the phone aside and ignored it.
Half an hour later, Zhang Pingyi walked into Qin Shaoyan's office with his cell phone in hand and a puzzled look on his face.
"So you didn't go out." Zhang Pingyi was a little surprised, "Then why didn't you answer the phone."
Qin Shaoyan immediately asked: "Did Xiong Xiaoge call you?"< br>
"Hit." Zhang Mingyi looked confused, "He asked me if I knew about the report."
"What did you say?" Qin Shaoyan asked.
"Of course I'm telling the truth. I don't know where this report came from." Zhang Pingyi frowned and said, "Xiong Xiaoge has questions about the data in the report. I promised him that other websites I don’t know the situation, but there is absolutely no problem with the Qvod data.”
“If he doesn’t believe it, I can show him the background data.”
Qin Shaoyan asked again: "What did Xiong Xiaoge say?"
"He didn't say anything, he just asked if you were there." Zhang Pingyi was very puzzled, "What happened?"
Qin Shaoyan said lightly, "It's nothing. Xiong Xiaoge must suspect that this report has something to do with me. "Relationship."
"Does it matter?" Zhang Pingyi asked.
“Don’t worry about these details.” Qin Shaoyan coughed, “I happen to have something important to discuss with you.”
Only Xiong Xiaoge doesn’t suspect that there is a ghost.
He didn't even need to investigate the details of the "China Internet Development Research Association". He could see the names of several vice presidents just by browsing the official website.
A few more phone calls will reveal that the vice president position was recommended by Qin Shaoyan.
At this point, Xiong Xiaoge can figure it out with his heels. This matter must be related to Qin Shaoyan.
But Qin Shaoyan doesn't care at all. The investigation report is not for Xiong Xiaoge, and domestic venture capital investors are not his target users.
"Master Zhang." Qin Shaoyan said solemnly, "I want to acquire Yiku.com, what do you think?"
"Yiku.com?" Zhang Pingyi was surprised for a few seconds, feeling confused, "Why did you acquire that thing?"
"Alas, Brother Chen's development in Yiku.com is not going well. I want to help. Him." Qin Shaoyan sighed.
“Really, I don’t believe it.” Zhang Pingyi sneered, “Who are you fooling?”
“I’m serious.” Qin Shaoyan said, “Of course it’s mainly for us. Okay, it’s easy to help Senior Brother Chen.”
Zhang Pingyi frowned and thought for a moment, “Is there anything about that piece of crap from Yiku.com that you value?”
"Of course there is, it is invested by Microsoft." Qin Shaoyan laughed.
“What happened to Microsoft’s investment?” Zhang Pingyi was still puzzled, “If you want to cooperate with Microsoft, you won’t waste this money, right?”
“How much do you plan to spend on the acquisition?”
“I want Yiku.com, but I don’t want to give you the money.” Qin Shaoyan said lightly.
