Chapter 346 The Second Game
“Our Tudou.com is no longer the same as before.” Wang Wei waved the newspaper in his hand excitedly, “Before, we were short of food and guns, and we relied on everyone’s efforts to support us. , we finally got through it, and the clouds cleared and the moon came out!”
“The company has just received 19 million US dollars in financing, and we finally have enough ammunition to compete with Qvod. It’s down!”
“The facts will soon prove that Qvod.com is nothing special. It just used despicable tricks to seize market opportunities. It will soon be defeated in the face of real strength! ”
The employees of Tudou.com burst into cheers and applause.
“Although Kuaibo.com is number one, it has become the public enemy of the industry!” Wang Wei said happily, “Our colleagues have united, Youku.com, 56.com, Ku6.com… The anti-Qavo.com alliance is strong. They have all received new financing.”
“Tudou.com is not fighting alone, but gathering the strength of all peers to defeat Qvod.com in one fell swoop!”
Wang Wei cheered, "Qvod.com will soon be a thing of the past, and the future belongs to Tudou.com!"
The employees burst into applause again.
Wang Wei continued to boost morale, holding the newspaper in his hand and saying: "Now the fame of our Tudou website has spread to the United States. This is the New York Times column report about Tudou website!"
"We will soon become the second Yiku.com! We will far surpass Yiku.com and reach a market value of US$600 million and US$900 million!"
"Tudou.com will prosper! The future is bright !”
The employees cheered together and applauded enthusiastically, as if Qvod.com was about to die and Tudou.com was about to rise.
“Let’s work hard together. Although it’s a little harder now, our future is bright!” Wang Wei said loudly, “Our Tudou.com will IPO soon, and we will select several outstanding employees to join us. Go to Nasdaq and ring the bell.”
“After listing, everyone’s salary will be doubled, and there will be opportunities to receive stock rewards, houses, and cars!”
Upon hearing the boss's plan, most of the employees showed excitement, thinking about the future money scene, and devoted themselves to work with great enthusiasm.
Wang Wei turned his face and his excitement disappeared without a trace. He followed the CTO of Tudou.com to a computer and asked, "Has the number of user registrations increased now?"
The employee who was managing the backend quickly said: "Mr. Wang, the number of registrations yesterday doubled compared to the day before yesterday, and the number is even greater today. Before noon, the number of registrations was already the same as yesterday."
" Very good!" Wang Wei nodded with satisfaction, "Keep working hard!"
Facts have proved that as long as you are willing to spend money, your performance will improve significantly.
Tudou not only launched a "Tudou Broadcast Star Award", but also spent a lot of money on advertising, including Sina, NetEase, Sohu, and other portal websites.
Hao123, a subsidiary of Baidu, also moved the fast broadcast to the second row and replaced Tudou.com.
In addition to the campus network and Tudou, large social networking sites have placed advertisements.
Under the money offensive, traffic surged, reaching a new level every day.
Of course, the number of user registrations has increased, but the number of visits has not increased very much. Many people click in to see the excitement, and then close the webpage when they find that there is nothing new.
However, Wang Wei thinks this is not a problem. After a while, after creators attracted by the bonus upload videos, users will be attracted to watch them.
After admiring the beautiful data curve, Wang Wei suddenly asked: "Has the situation on the campus network been solved?"
"It has been solved, they have put us on the whitelist. "It's in." CTO replied, "It has been available for sharing since yesterday."
"It's not easy." Wang Wei frowned.
In order to break the monopoly alliance formed by Qvod Network and Campus Network, the "Anti-Qubo Alliance" appealed and condemned, using public opinion to trash the Campus Network.
It directly imposed a monopoly on the campus, without a social platform with an open and inclusive mentality, and fiercely attacked the reputation of the campus network.
I originally thought that the campus network would be in trouble this time, but unexpectedly, the campus network used public opinion to forcefully change the rhythm, which made Wang Wei look stupid.
Obviously the campus network prohibits users from posting sharing links to other video websites for competitive purposes, but it turned out that it was due to technical reasons and the blame was placed on other websites.
Media public opinion in turn accused other video websites of failing to keep pace with the times and integrate with international standards, which made Wang Wei almost to death.
In the end, the matter reached the Ministry of Information Industry, and the relevant leaders called several video websites and campus networks together for an interview.
Although the leaders did not criticize the campus network's actions, they still persuaded the websites to communicate more and cooperate. The "Anti-Quick Broadcast Alliance" finally won half of the game.
Wang Wei said to the CTO: "I will organize some employees to go to the campus network to share a few more videos to gain popularity."
"The campus network does not accept our advertisements, so we will not We can't give up this publicity position. Didn't they let go of sharing links? Let's go to their territory and promote it hard!"
"I'll send someone to do it right away." Several employees went to popular squares on the campus network to get some hot spots.
But after a few minutes, the CTO came to Wang Wei with a confused look on his face, "Mr. Wang, something went wrong."
"What's the problem?" Wang Wei was stunned for a moment, "Has the campus network banned us again?"
"No." The CTO said with an ugly face, "But it's useless to post it on the campus network. The prompt is temporarily blocked.”
“Blocked!” Wang Wei was shocked, “How dare the campus network do this! They promised one thing in front of the other, right? "
"Take a screenshot immediately and give me the evidence!" Wang Wei was angry, "I'm going to file a complaint, and I'm going to file a lawsuit with the central government!"
Wang Wei immediately started calling "rebels." The bosses of the "Quick Broadcast Alliance" informed them of the latest findings.
As a result, other video websites also discovered the same situation, and people were immediately outraged.
Soon, the new CTO Wang Jun, who stayed behind on the campus network, was notified again, asking him to go to the relevant departments for tea.
Wang Jun and others hurried to the place and entered the small conference room under the guidance of the staff.
As soon as I walked in, I saw a circle of people sitting inside, all with gloomy faces.
The leader sitting at the main seat waved, "Xiao Wang, come on, come on, you came just in time, please explain."
Wang Jun walked over cautiously and found a seat to sit down.
Wang Wei was the first to fire, "Your campus network is amazing, you have a different style of yin and yang."
Wang Jun suddenly understood in his heart that it was discovered that the video sharing was blocked. , but he couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only pretend to be confused.
"Mr. Wang, what are you talking about? Why did we violate the rules?"
"You know it in your heart." The vice president of Youku also followed suit, "You promised before in front of the leaders to open the sharing link to our video website."
"It was so exciting when you promised, but then our videos were blocked later. We do one thing in front of our faces and another behind our backs!"
People from other video websites followed suit and kept making comments.
“That’s right, it’s so abominable!”
“This clearly does not take the leadership seriously!”
“The campus network is provocative and should be severely punished! ”
Wang Wei said aggressively: "Why do you, the CTO, come here every time? Where is Zhang Pingyi, and where is your boss Qin Shaoyan?"
Wang Jun from the campus network looked at the leader cautiously, "We Qin Shaoyan and Mr. Qin Mr. Zhang Pingyi is currently abroad, and the campus network has organized a summer camp for international college students, and they followed it. "
"Because this activity is so important, and the people participating in the project are students from major universities. It’s basically the first time for them to go abroad. Our company is afraid of what might happen when they go abroad, so the boss personally watches the whole process.”
“After all, these students are the pillars of the country, and we are afraid that something might happen. ”
The leaders have also heard about this. The campus network selected thirty college students from major universities across the country to study abroad. There was quite a stir. Because it was related to the United Nations, it naturally attracted attention from all aspects. .
"Everything is difficult when going out." The leader pondered for two seconds and said with emotion, "You have to be careful."
"You are in charge of the campus network now, right?"
"Yes. , I am in charge now," Wang Jun said quickly.
"Then please explain it to everyone." The leader pointed to the laptop on the table, "What's going on?"
Wang Jun glanced at the screen, which showed the prompt page, "This shared video is temporarily blocked and can be shared normally after review."
Well, it is indeed because of this. Wang Jun took a deep breath, remembering the instructions Mr. Qin had given him before, and his heart suddenly calmed down.
“Leader, it’s like this.” Wang Jun said cautiously, “Our campus network has an audit mechanism, and all content must be reviewed. If any content is found, Content that violates regulations and disciplines will be deleted immediately. ”
“As for content from outside the site, we will block it first and then review it before releasing it. ”
Wang Wei from Tudou.com. He stood up and retorted, "Nonsense! You are obviously making excuses. The campus network has been open for two years, but I have never heard of any review mechanism you have."
"You are deliberately making excuses to block our video website. This is also a disguised form of banning our sharing links!"
The leader glanced at Wang Jun and asked in a deep voice: "This review has always been in place. , or is it just recently?”
“It’s always been there!” Wang Jun replied seriously, “This is a rule set by Mr. Qin Shaoyan, and the content on the campus website must be reviewed by reviewers. , I have been in the campus network for half a year, at least I had this rule before I came."
"The campus network has more than thirty employees who are responsible for auditing."
"After all. The main users of the campus network are students, and we are responsible for the mental health of students. ”
The leader nodded, and the students' issues must be taken seriously.
"Is there a lot of illegal content on campus?"
Wang Jun then said: "Occasionally it will happen, because the review mechanism exists, and users can abide by it, and no more scary content will be posted. "Erotic and violent content."
As he spoke, Wang Jun opened the computer and entered the background with an administrator account, showing the leader some of the illegal content that had been deleted.
The leader only glanced at it and felt that the content was well deleted. What the hell is this?
There were no walls on the Internet at this time, and there was no such thing as Green Dam. The things on the Internet were not as simple as pornographic, bloody, and violent things, but also more serious things.
The leader nodded happily, "Your review and supervision mechanism is very good. You have set up a line of defense on the front line of the Internet to prevent harmful information from spreading everywhere. This approach is worthy of recognition. This kind of self-discipline The conscious spirit is worthy of praise.”
People from other websites nearby looked at each other. Isn’t this a meeting to criticize and crusade the campus network?
Why is this so exaggerated?
The leader pondered for a moment and said: "This approach has indeed caused inconvenience to other video networks. Other video websites should understand it. You two should communicate more to see how to coordinate and deal with this problem."
< br>
"We are all people in the Internet industry. If we have problems, we should communicate more."
Wang Wei from Tudou said aggrievedly beside him, "Leader, we have no objections to the review mechanism. We do. It’s the campus network that treats them differently.”
“Why won’t the videos on Kuaibo.com be blocked? They keep saying that they will review them, but the video sharing on Kuaibo.com will be approved directly without any review at all. "
While talking, Wang Wei also demonstrated that the video from Qvod.com was indeed sent out without any hindrance.
The leader looked at Wang Jun again and frowned.
Wang Jun was very helpless and said, "Mr. Kou, please explain."
Kou Hongfei from Qvod.com stood up and said, "We and Campus Network have established strategic cooperation and mutual trust since the beginning of our establishment. relationship, but it does not mean that our Qvod.com can publish it without review.”
“The videos of our Qovo.com are all reviewed and inspected by our website. More than half of the videos from our Qovo.com. All employees are content reviewers.”
The leader was a little surprised by Kou Hongfei’s statement and asked: “How many reviewers does your Qiubo website have?”
“There is no specific statistics, it should be more than 100%. There are more than 160 people,” Kou Hongfei replied, “Because we are growing so fast, we need to recruit more employees.”
"So is your recruitment going well?" the leader asked with interest.
“This is not difficult, because the content review is actually to check whether the video contains illegal content. It is easy to get started and you can start working with a little training.” Kou Hongfei said, “We have reached a cooperation with the street and prioritized the recruitment of some laid-off employees. Ah, ordinary people with family difficulties, and many disabled people with limited legs and feet. Wang Jun added next to him: "Our campus network is also expanding its enrollment and plans to recruit two hundred employees."
The leader smiled and said: "This is very good. The Internet can also promote employment, which is a good thing."
Wang Jun said again: "Leader, we give the green light to Kuaibo.com, then It’s because the content of their website has been reviewed, and other websites have to be reviewed. It’s because there are some video websites now..."
Wang Jun didn't finish his words, but everyone present already understood what he meant.
People on other video websites felt uncomfortable after hearing this. What does your implication mean that we all have problems?
Apart from some pirated resources, we don’t do anything out of the ordinary.
Wang Wei also retorted dissatisfiedly, "Mr. Wang is just saying that there is a problem with our video website, right?"
"You are slandering, you must have evidence when you speak!"
Wang Jun glanced at Wang Wei, then immersed himself in some operations on his laptop, opened Tudou, searched for it, and showed it to his leader.
Wang Wei, who was originally aggressive, felt a little guilty in his heart. He still knew what his website looked like.
Although there is no problem on the surface, there are some things hidden inside.
Sure enough, the leader's face gradually became serious, he turned the laptop towards Wang Wei, pointed at the screen, "Explain it."
Wang Wei took a look and broke out in a cold sweat. .
What the other party searched for were all large-scale erotic content. This is very common. Users often upload various art films from Europe, America, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Although Tudou occasionally clears out posts with particularly high views, there are so many people who can’t stand it.
If you look for it, you will definitely find it.
After all, there are only a few dozen people on their website, most of them are working programmers, so there is no review position.
“Slander, this is frame-up!” Wang Wei shouted loudly, “This must have been done deliberately.”
The leader waved his hand, "Framing and frame-up will be resolved by law. Now the problem lies on your website. It must be cleaned up first."
The leader said seriously: "Clean the house first before treating guests."
“Other video websites should also sort themselves out first.”
“I think the censorship models of Campus Network and Qvod.net are quite good and worth promoting and learning.”
Youku.com: "..."
Ku6.com: "..."
56.com: "..."
Several websites are almost crying. We are here to start a business, not to do charity.
Why hire dozens or hundreds of auditors if you have nothing to do? It will cost a lot of money to keep them for nothing.
Besides, whoever has a clean ass on the Internet nowadays, why should they be so strict?
We don’t believe that the campus network and Qvod Network must be clean.
But at this time, in this situation, they can no longer say it. The leader's meaning is already obvious.
You should quickly check and correct yourself, and turn the major issues into minor ones and let them pass. After all, in the early days of the Internet industry, you cannot control it too tightly.
But there are still some basic rules that must be followed. You can be messy and do nothing for the sake of traffic.
Honestly admit your mistakes and reflect on your mistakes. Don’t wait for me to force you to rectify your mistakes.
After coming out of the relevant department, Wang Wei said to the vice president of Youku.com with a sullen face: "This campus network is really powerful, and I can't find a place to start."
"Our second game has just begun. It's a failure."
The vice president of Youku.com also sighed, and then he cheered up, "I don't believe they have no flaws. If you look for it, you can definitely find it."
"Forget it." Wang Wei shook his head, "Off-the-board moves don't have much effect. As expected, we still have to fight head-on. As long as we can spend money, we can tap its user base."
Youku.com Vice President Point He nodded and said, "Come on then."
