Chapter 964 The Lost Dog
After hanging up the phone, Paul Singer shrugged his tie, his old face revealed his past, his sinister eyes, and his messy hair made him look like a very hungry hyena. .
"The old guy has entered the stage, what about you?"
Looking towards the opposite side with fierce eyes.
Epstein, who had a thin face, meticulously styled blond hair, and gold-rimmed glasses, put down the coffee cup in his hand and smiled.
"We are more generous than Mr. Soros.
$5 million and provide information support."
"If you succeed, Epstein Company can invest in Elliott and help you get back into the business Upper class."
The woman sitting next to Epstein smiled.
Paul Singer's eyes slowly swept over the two of them.
Although Epstein Company is a piece of shit, there are many big names associated with this company.
If those big shots are willing to help, his Elliott can definitely develop again.
“How do I know if this is what you mean or what the people behind you mean?” Paul Singer sneered.
He is now at the end of his rope and does not care about being used as a gun by others, but he must be worthy of being a gun.
Epstein thought for a moment.
"Do you know why the British royal family helped Golden Caesar?"
"Why?"
Paul Singer asked quickly.
This is a question that everyone involved in the Dragon Slaying Plan wants to know.
If the British royal family hadn't stepped in to help, they would have killed Golden Caesar long ago by virtue of their momentum.
It can be said that Hurricane Katrina was the root cause of the failure of the dragon-slaying plan, but more importantly, the help of the British royal family.
"Prince Andrew is a frequent visitor to 'Little St. James Island', and he plays very boldly. Golden Caesar has some evidence and handed it over to the British royal family.
For the sake of the royal family's face, they Having to come off and help,” Epstein lamented.
Paul Singer was stunned for a moment.
“Haha...”
The exaggerated laughter shook the whole box.
Smiling, Paul Singer's face became increasingly violent, and he gradually stared at the opposite side with wolf-like eyes.
“Just because you stupid, mean, dirty male and female dogs have caused me such misery, you deserve to die!”
Being taken away by his huge and ferocious aura. , the woman next to me didn’t dare to speak.
But Epstein was calm.
"Paul, you are a lost dog now. Without my help, do you think you can kill Golden Caesar and take revenge?
I'm afraid your plan has been ruined by him before it even started."
Epstein put down his legs and leaned forward. When his face was about to touch Paul Singer's sinister face, he stopped and said slowly.
"If you don't want to sleep on the street and become a dirty, rancid, disgusting homeless man, then give me some respect."
The two men's eyes met, and after a long confrontation, .
Paul Singer suddenly smiled and leaned back.
Although he is crazy, he is not stupid.
There are not many people who can help him when he is down.
"Five million dollars is too little, and I need a more certain commitment, otherwise I will kill people and what if you regret it in the end?"
"How much do you want?"< br>
Epstein also didn’t want to embarrass the other party too much.
After all, there are too few people willing to take action against Golden Caesar.
“10 million U.S. dollars. After this is completed, Elliott Investments will receive 1 billion U.S. dollars in financing.”
“No, it’s too much.”
The two bargained.
The price was finally set at US$8 million in cash and US$500 million in financing.
After the two parties separated, they returned to the car.
The woman complained: "We gave that greedy villain too much."
"Too much? Not much at all in my opinion. If Golden Caesar lives, we go and appease him If you do, you will pay ten times or a hundred times as much as this.”
Dingling bell...
The phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, he subconsciously sat up straight and pressed the answer button.
A deep voice came over.
"How is the matter?"
"It has been settled, 8 million U.S. dollars, and after the completion of the matter, Elliott will be given an investment quota of 500 million U.S. dollars. But..."
"But what?"
"The guy said he needed information support. And Golden Caesar has been staying in Atherton's manor, protected by a large number of bodyguards, and he couldn't find a chance."
< br>After a moment of silence on the phone.
“Let him wait, let him take action when the opportunity comes.”
“Okay.”
——
"Brother Liang, we checked all the purchasers in the manor, including their families, and found no other abnormalities except two people who had dirty hands and privately embezzled purchase funds." Huo Gang put down the investigation documents to the table.
After following Xu Liang for many years, this former farm boy has also become mature.
He truly has the ability of a bodyguard captain.
Xu Liang turned his eyes.
"Brother Zhang, where are you?"
Zhang Hongwei said quickly: "The bodyguard team's investigation work has also ended, and no abnormalities have been found so far."
Xu Liang nodded slightly.
Actually, he is not afraid of the enemy's external methods. As long as he hides here and does not come out, it will be useless no matter how hard you try to kick him.
What he was afraid of was poisoning and other insidious tricks that were difficult to guard against.
So no matter where I go, I usually bring a whole team of chefs with me on a private jet.
But the kitchen is not a safe, and the surrounding gardeners and servants all have the opportunity to enter.
So Xu Liang prioritized checking the people around him.
The house is clean before we can ‘treat guests’.
"Keep out those with unclean hands and feet."
"Yes."
Lu Hui knocked on the door and walked in.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Sun Yan and Sun are here."
"Go and do your work."
Huo Gang and Zhang Hongwei turned around and walked out.
“Let Old Sun come in.”
Not long after, Sun Yan, wearing a dark blue suit, walked in.
“Mr. Xu.”
“Old Sun, sit down.”
Xu Liang poured him a cup of tea and handed it over.
“Thank you.”
“Youku (YouTube) has developed well, and you have contributed a lot to it.”
After nearly two years of development, Youku’s strong support from Hongmeng Now, it has 94 million registered users, 2.7 million different videos, and more than 800 professional video hosts.
The valuation is close to US$3 billion.
It has developed much faster and has a higher valuation than Youku in its original history.
But it also costs more money.
Youku now spends tens of millions of dollars every month just on broadband, plus employee salaries and insurance expenses, it amounts to nearly 15 million U.S. dollars.
In contrast, advertising revenue can only solve a quarter.
Still in the stage of making ends meet.
"You are honored. Without you and the support of the head office, Youku would not have been able to develop so fast." Sun Yan said quickly.
Xu Liang smiled and nodded, then changed the subject.
“How is the lawsuit with the Hollywood giant going?”
“We invited Baker McKenzie, the best business law firm in the United States, to help us fight the lawsuit. Both sides are currently presenting evidence. The first trial will be held in December."
"What are the chances of us winning the case?" Xu Liang asked.
Sun Yan showed hesitation on his face.
“Don’t worry about it, just say it.”
“I’m afraid it’s very low. Youku’s videos do have copyright issues. However, McKenzie said that we can push the piracy problem onto the users.< br>
Using the technology to identify videos with copyright issues in a short period of time, thus causing piracy, as an excuse to avoid compensation. ”
Xu Liang understood what he meant.
Youku has nearly 100 million users, and these people upload tens of thousands of videos every day.
On the basis of protecting the fruits of user labor, Youku is difficult to identify whether these videos are pirated in a short period of time? So it was not taken off the shelves in time.
So much so that it infringes the copyright of Hollywood companies.
This is an objective infringement, not a subjective violation.
To escape punishment.
Hollywood giants are definitely not willing, but Youku does have this technical problem, but it's not that serious.
The next step is to continue fighting.
The lawsuit continues.
It is possible to fight like Apple and Microsoft for more than ten years.
“Mr. Xu, although this method is good, some obviously infringing videos must be removed from the shelves, otherwise it will be given to the other party as evidence. But edited videos of film and television dramas are the largest video categories on Youku.
If lost, it will seriously affect Youku's future development and user stickiness.
So, my idea is to settle privately with the Hollywood giants and pay the copyright fees. ”
