Chapter 372 Backhand Slash
“Zhang Chaoyang is against piracy?” Zhang Pingyi found this unbelievable, “Why is he fighting against piracy? It has nothing to do with him, right?”
“It will be soon. It doesn't matter." Qin Shaoyan said meaningfully, "I talked to him so much today, and finally mentioned the issue of piracy, and mentioned that genuine copies are cheaper. Do you think I said that casually? "
"I have told him the right path. Regardless of whether he listens or not, he will definitely follow the same model as Kuaibo.com, engage in a PGC model, and purchase genuine film and television drama resources to attract users."
"But before that, he has to solve a problem first, which is the rampant piracy on hundreds of video websites."
Zhang Mingyi is still puzzled, "The model of Kuaibo.com does not necessarily solve the piracy problem of peers. Aren't we doing nothing?"
"Can it be the same?" Qin Shao Yanxiao said, "Quabo.com has accumulated a large number of users since its early start. At the same time, it is willing to spend money to produce content. In addition to uploading various Japanese and Korean resources, it also directly copies from the YouTube server. Spending money to buy domestic genuine resources is just incidental. . ”
“We have a lot of content. Users come here for the content. It has nothing to do with whether it is genuine or not.”
“If Sohu is a video website, it will be different. ”
“When we launched Kuaibo.com, we had no competition. Sohu Video had to face hundreds of video websites, large and small, and they couldn’t copy resources from YouTube like we did. Let’s use pirated copies together.”
"How can the content richness of Sohu be compared with those video websites with pirated resources just by relying on the genuine resources it purchased?"
"If Sohu wants to defeat these competitors, it cannot fill the content library with them. The competition above is to bring other competitors to the same level as him, and then rely on the traffic of the portal website and the funds of listed companies to defeat the opponents.”
“Anti-piracy is a very good banner, don’t worry. No matter how many peers there are, one by one, they all rely on pirated film and television resources to fill their content.”
“As long as piracy is eliminated, these peers will basically be half disabled, so how can they compete with Sohu Video. Than? ”
“Either desperately find ways to improve the quality of user-generated content, or compete with large websites with strong funds to compete for genuine resources.”
"Both of these two are obviously impossible. They don't have the ability, okay? So as long as Sohu can achieve anti-piracy, then our colleagues can only wait to die."
After listening to Qin Shaoyan Zhang Pinyi finally understood, "According to what you said, if Sohu wants to join the game, it must fight against piracy."
"But there is something I don't understand. According to you, as long as it fights against piracy, You can kill all those colleagues, so why didn’t you do it?”
Zhang Pingyi felt very strange that Qin Shaoyan had never said anything about piracy harming his own interests before, except for buying genuine ones. I have never mentioned anti-piracy to anyone.
But today Zhang Chaoyang came, and Qin Shaoyan talked to him about anti-piracy, telling him without reservation the method of killing his colleagues.
"Their piracy will not affect my position as the boss of Qiaobo.com, nor will it affect my listing on the market. Why should I worry about this?" Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "The most important thing is that your anti-piracy seems to be reasonable. But it’s easy to offend people, so why should we, Kuaibo Network, be such a bad person?”
Zhang Mingyi was very surprised, “What do you mean, you are almost becoming a public enemy of the industry, and everyone is starting to rebel against Kuaibo?” You are still afraid of offending people after joining the league? It’s not like your character.”
“I’m not afraid of offending my colleagues. I’ll give it to those guys.” Qin Shaoyan sighed, “I’m afraid of offending the users.”< br>
At this time, the Internet was a world of piracy. Users generally liked to have sex for free and would not spend a penny at all.
What about eDonkey and Thunder? Everyone is posting "The good poster will have a safe life" everywhere in exchange for seeds.
Internet users implement the spirit of sharing very well and are accustomed to free services. This is why various free models can quickly rise and become mainstream.
Carrying out anti-piracy and supporting payment for genuine products will naturally make netizens disgusted in public opinion. If interested people add fuel to the flames, the reputation will be ruined.
Word of mouth may seem invisible and of little use, but it is actually very important. It’s just that many big companies are so arrogant that they never take word of mouth seriously.
Besides, Qvod.com, as the leader in the industry, is naturally under siege. If it continues to rely on anti-piracy to attract competitors, it will not be able to stand among the masses.
And the Anti-Quabo Alliance is only against it as the industry leader snatching users, and it will not lead to life and death.
Anti-piracy is really a serious matter. These colleagues will do anything if they are pressed.
It is Chi Guoguo's hatred among peers, and they are all peers. They know your weaknesses and shortcomings better. When the time comes, just reporting to the administrative department will kill you.
Before Qvod and Campus Network grew into Internet giants, the chances of being hit by an iron fist were greater and the damage was higher.
Zhang Pingyi was shocked, "No wonder you encouraged Zhang Chaoyang to engage in anti-piracy. As expected of you, Mr. Qin, I thought you were holding back your bad intentions. Sure enough."
"You are killing someone with a borrowed knife. It's really good." Zhang Pingyi then said, "It seems that Zhang Chaoyang can succeed in his anti-piracy campaign."
"I don't expect him to succeed." Qin Shaoyan was very calm, "But he can still make some noise."
"After all, anti-piracy and respecting intellectual property rights are politically correct in the administrative department, so I'm sure We will get official support.”
“As long as Sohu can get official support, we can use legal weapons to punish those peers one by one.”
“Anti-piracy is a means, not an end. Zhang Chaoyang doesn’t need to kill every one of his colleagues, he just needs to find a few typical ones to show off to the chickens.”
Zhang Pingyi nodded, “Getting into a lawsuit is indeed enough to make those video websites drink a lot of money. It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose, if you don’t delete the pirated copies, you won’t be able to go public.”
Qin Shaoyan sneered, "If I were Zhang Chaoyang, I would also sue those clients who advertise on video websites!"
"Is this okay?" Zhang Pingyi was dumbfounded.
"Why not?" Qin Shaoyan said proudly, "They support piracy by advertising on websites with pirated resources. It is not unfair to sue them at all."
"Don't care about winning or losing, as long as As long as you can scare away the customers who put in ads, no one will put in ads, and the video website will have no income at all. There is no other way but to wait for death."
Zhang Pingyi was completely convinced and gave a thumbs up.
"It has to be Mr. Qin. No one can come up with such a bad idea except you."
"Then you are complimenting me. I also learned from others." Qin Shaoyan declined repeatedly.
Zhang Pingyi didn’t believe Qin Shaoyan’s words. He and Mr. Qin had gotten to know the boss too well in the past few years.
"If Zhang Chaoyang really does what you say, then the video industry will be reshuffled." Zhang Pingyi said with emotion, "Zhang Chaoyang went through a lot of trouble and offended many people, but in the end they were all given to Qvod. The website is making wedding dresses.”
“Will a website with genuine resources be launched in the future?”
"This is not necessarily true." Qin Shaoyan said helplessly, "Users only care about whether the content is good or not, and then the clarity and smoothness. They don't care about whether you are a pirated copy."
Zhang Pingyi frowned, " According to you, genuine products cannot compete with piracy?”
“Bad money drives out good money in the current market. Besides, the income of netizens is still very low, and they have not developed the habit of paying,” Qin Shao said in a tone of voice. He said flatly, "You can't do it just by relying on genuine copies."
Not to mention now, twenty years from now, the video website Aiyouteng will dominate the world, and it will still lose money every year.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the video websites themselves messing around.
Over the years, I have spent so much money, raised so many people, invested in a lot of bad dramas, and often gave you all kinds of tricks to deceive users.
For example, advance screening, such as those flashy advertisements.
“The video website project is really difficult.” Zhang Pingyi sighed.
It’s not profitable to do piracy, and it’s even less profitable to do genuine products. He now begins to believe Qin Shaoyan’s initial assertion to the video website.
Video websites are money-losing products. "You know that video websites don't make money, so why do you still do it?" This is the most difficult thing for Zhang Pingyi to understand.
“You don’t understand.” Qin Shaoyan sighed, “At first I thought about going public and making a fortune, but then I thought it would be better to keep the video website going.”
“Because The video website is a content output platform, which is related to the issue of ideology. ”
Ideology?
Zhang Minyi was even more confused. He didn't expect that Mr. Qin, who was full of bad intentions and had been cheating people all day long, could have such a pattern.
"Qin Shaoyan..." Zhang Minyi looked at him warily, "You are not planning to rebel, are you? I'm warning you, if you have any evil intentions, don't blame me for killing your relatives out of justice."
"What are you thinking about? "What?" Qin Shaoyan couldn't laugh or cry, "You only become rebels after eating shit."
"Selfishly speaking, the wealth we have obtained and everything we have now are tied to the country's strength. The better, the more our business capabilities will grow.”
“If you still dream of rebelling and taking advantage of the chaos, isn’t that sheer nonsense?”
Some people think it’s counterintuitive. You can become president after becoming president, but in fact, you are more likely to be slaughtered as a fat sheep.
Zhang Pingyi was right when he thought about it. There was no way a person like Qin Shaoyan could do such a thing.
Qin Shaoyan suddenly warned: "Today, we can just talk between ourselves. Don't talk to others, especially if you act popular and professional."
"Why?" Zhang Mingyi was surprised.
"This will make you look out of place." Qin Shaoyan spread his hands, "Besides, you are already patriotic, so you have no united front value."
"Fuck!" Zhang Pingyi cursed. In one sentence, "It's just like the underground party."
"This is the current situation, ugh." Qin Shaoyan sighed with emotion.
The two fell into silence.
Qin Shaoyan suddenly said, "There is one more thing that must be done quickly."
"What is it?" Zhang Pingyi immediately became serious.
Qin Shaoyan said with a serious expression: "I heard that Sohu wants to win the qualification to be the Internet content sponsor of the 2008 Olympic Games. We can't let him pry it off. We must act quickly to completely stop his thoughts."< br>
"Ah?" Zhang Pingyi was stunned.
"Ah what?" Qin Shaoyan urged, "We have cooperated with the Olympic Organizing Committee several times. If someone else takes away such a qualification, how can we be worthy of the name of the Olympic Publicity Network?"
“This is the foundation of our business!”
What surprised Zhang Pingyi was not this. What surprised him was that Qin Shaoyan had been thinking about how to stab him with his backhand as soon as he met the boss of Sohu.
Let me just say, how could Qin Shaoyan be so generous and give him free lessons?
He also gave all his money to teach.
If I don’t peel off your skin, I won’t be Qin Shaoyan.
Zhang Pingyi also thought about it, "Where should we start? Or find Director Zhang Wanli?"
"Don't bother Brother Zhang with this trivial matter, let's go to Director Hao. "Qin Shaoyan thought for a while, "Don't he know a guy named Director Meng? Let Edward come forward?”
"No, Edward doesn't need to show up this time." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "It's not appropriate for him to show up now."
"Shall I go?" Zhang Pingyi asked tentatively.
Qin Shaoyan couldn't laugh or cry, "What status do they have? They are worthy of you to go in person. You are a person with status after all, Mr. Zhang."
"Let Senior Brother Chen go, he is now "Idle time is idle."
"Huh?" Zhang Pingyi was even more confused, "Let Senior Brother Chen go?"
Chen Guangxia is no longer Mr. Qin's subordinate. What's the point of asking him to talk about it?
No matter what his identity is, he cannot represent Qvod.com, let alone the campus network.
"It is precisely because he has no identity that we can negotiate. If the negotiation goes well, we will continue." Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "If the negotiation does not go well... Chen Guangxia is not our employee anyway, so he does not keep his word. "
"..." Zhang Pingyi felt that what Qin Shaoyan did was a bit unethical.
"I have no choice but to do it." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "I thought it would be fun to hold this international summer camp once. Now that there is such a big fuss, it doesn't mean it won't be held next year."
"We have already negotiated with Director Meng before, and it is time for the second phase to be closed to the relevant households."
"You see these students this year are quite good, why did you change them?"
“Can those related households engage in debate? I’m afraid they can’t even speak a few words in English. They don’t have that ability at all.”
“So we must not replace all related households in the second phase. I spend money to gain knowledge for college students, not to gild connections.”
“It’s appropriate to let Senior Brother Chen come forward to deal with it. Let him talk freely, and there is no need to take responsibility anyway.” One thing, the conditions discussed previously cannot be counted, and the number of related households must be controlled to less than one quarter.”
"The more you pay, the better!"
Zhang Mingyi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Then let Edward step in and make the final decision?"
"Mr. Zhang is becoming more and more like a general. Wow, this idea is getting better and better." Qin Shaoyan praised, "Edward is really useful. It's time to give him a generous bonus this year."
Zhang. Ping Yi takes it for granted that Edward, an oddball among foreigners, looks more like a Chinese on the inside, except for his white skin.
Being hard-working and able to take the blame is indeed a rare talent.
Zhang Minyi and Qin Shaoyan discussed the relevant details, and then hurriedly left to find Chen Guangxia for an interview.
Less than five minutes later, Secretary Xiao Chen started knocking on the door, "Mr. Qin, Manager Zhou from the Operations Department is back. He wants to see you and report to you. Do you have time?"< br>
Qin Shaoyan was overjoyed, "Do I have any appointments this afternoon?"
"There are a few. Qvod Network is coming to discuss next year's operation plan, and there are two more on the Campus Network. At the regular meeting, Mr. Liu, the coal boss, invited you to dinner..."
Qin Shaoyan felt a headache after hearing this, "Okay, those meetings will be postponed. As for the coal boss, thank them for me, and just have dinner. No need, just tell me if you have something to say.”
"Okay, Mr. Qin."
"Let Zhou Yuan come in." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand.
Soon, the dusty Zhou Yuan walked into the office.
