Chapter 217 It’s true that we took the money and ran away!
Quavo is a very magical software...
While other video websites are tortured to death by bandwidth and copyright, Qvod's coding and decoding technology makes it more efficient in terms of bandwidth. The needs are only one percent of others.
Quavo’s peer-to-peer technology is also skirting around piracy. After users search through Kuaibo, all they redirect to are small websites, and then play or download through Kuaibo.
Although I was fined occasionally, they were all small amounts. The upper limit of the administrative penalty imposed by the National Copyright Administration was only 250,000 yuan, which was not enough to cover the bandwidth fee for one day.
By the end of 2011, Qvod had the largest number of active users.
The two major shareholders of Qvod are amazing. One is Zeng Liqing, one of the founders of Penguin, and the other is Lao Zhou of 360.
In order to speed up the broadcast, Zeng even poached Penguin’s Zhu Daxin, who was Tencent’s employee No. 39.
Lao Ma can be said to have killed Wang Xin completely.
Killing the chicken to show the monkey is not only for Zeng Liqing, but also for Liu Chunning, and even more for Jack Ma.
Because Liu Chunning was very optimistic about Kuaibo at the time, he took the lead and planned to ask Wang Xin to meet Jack Ma.
But the incident soon came to light and the meeting ended.
A year later, Liu Chunning was also reported to and imprisoned by his old club.
Lao Ma is the most attentive to the video, and this shows.
Of course, it is also the most tragic loss.
Wang Changtian went to talk to Lao Ma, but Li Mingyang sat in the car and did not go with him.
He thought for a while, called Cai Chongxin, and prepared to package and sell Youku shares to Alibaba.
Cai Chongxin did not explicitly refuse and asked him to wait.
Ten minutes later, Cai Chongxin called back.
Alibaba is willing to buy 3.8% of Youku shares at a 40% discount.
The price is similar to the black market.
Youku is still very popular in the eyes of foreign investors.
As soon as Li Mingyang and Ali reached an agreement, Wang Changtian came back with a cold face.
Wang Changtian got in the car, and after a long silence, he said: "Boss Ma is not interested in Youku's stocks...
Penguin Video has been tested internally, and he hopes someone will help him trade. .”
"It can't be me, right?"
"Yeah."
"How to operate, use my name to open a company, and Penguin will provide money, people and resources?" Li Mingyang said.
“That’s pretty much what it means.”
“If you can’t clear up the account later, if you can’t clear it up, prepare to go to jail.” Li Mingyang shook his head and didn’t want to wade into this muddy water.
The copyright war for video websites has begun, and no one can tell the pricing of the copyrights of top TV series...
A TV series costs tens of millions, is there anything fishy about this price? How many kickbacks did you receive?
The broadcast effect is not ideal, who takes the blame?
TV dramas can easily cost tens of millions, and you have to buy at least ten of them a year.
Penguin’s own people have to file reports and applications, and it is impossible for Lao Ma to give up this power.
In addition, this is just a small beginning...
The video website is very large. In the first year, it has the copyrights of at least thousands of TV series, as well as animation, movies, and sports event broadcast rights...
Wang Changtian groaned, "Do you want to go up and see Boss Ma? I feel like he is a little hesitant now."
"Hesitant? The hesitation is because the agreement has not been reached. You can let the higher-ups give it a try. "I won't talk to Penguin anymore, I have already reached an agreement with Cai Chongxin, 3.8, 40% off," Li Mingyang said.
Wang Changtian suddenly smiled, "Why do I feel that you don't want to cooperate with Boss Ma? Penguin is a good partner. He has a lot of money but few things to do, and his hands are not long."
"It's not that I don't want to cooperate with Brother Ma. I don't want to cooperate with anyone from BAT. Mr. Wang, don't always think about making a comeback. It's true that we take the money and run away!"
Run away, run away. Lu, can you run away?
The next day, Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian came to Alibaba’s Hangzhou headquarters.
Cai Chongxin personally came to receive him.
In the conference room, in addition to Alibaba’s finance and lawyers, there were also bank executives and Zhejiang Guangzhou executives.
After Cai Chongxin introduced the people in the conference room, Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian knew that this was a complicated tug of war.
Wang Changtian has a slow temper and is very familiar with this kind of tug-of-war.
Wang Changtian did not want to retreat, but wanted to continue.
Because if we withdraw now, we will suffer huge losses.
Li Mingyang didn't want to lose too much, so he didn't say a word and just watched Wang Changtian's performance to see if he could raise the price.
The negotiations between the two parties mainly revolved around Youku's shares and the copyright of Running Brothers.
But we got sidetracked while talking, talking about Baidu and Penguin, as well as economic policy, cultural tourism, online shopping, mobile Internet, and electronic payment.
Cai Chongxin slowly unveiled Alibaba’s blueprint. At the end of the negotiation, he revealed Alibaba’s ambitions for big entertainment.
The first day of negotiations was fruitless.
However, during this period, Huayi and Huace were not idle at all, taking advantage of Li Mingyang and Ali to negotiate.
The two parties held a joint press conference at Huayi's headquarters to join hands with Mission Hills Group to launch the film and television city plan.
The first film and television city is located in HK City, HAN Province, Haikou Mission Hills Huayi Feng Xiaogang Film Commune.
A comprehensive tourist area integrating real-life tourism, physical commerce, and film and television shooting.
“They are dragging us here and holding a press conference there.” Li Mingyang frowned and said, “Mr. Wang, what on earth are you thinking? It will be very detrimental to us if we continue like this!”
< br>“Wait a little longer.”
Wang Changtian seemed to have a backup plan and wanted to continue playing.
But Li Mingyang just wants to be safe and secure, and does not want to fight with these big guys anymore, which will make his balls hurt.
As long as you have money, you are not afraid of not making any money!
Li Mingyang wants money.
However, the madness of capital has just begun... Three days later, on the morning of April 26, Huayi Brothers announced that the company's shares were reduced by five shareholders on April 23, totaling 27.8 million shares.
Penguin and Huayi then jointly announced: Penguin made a strategic investment in Huayi Brothers. The investment was completed through the Shenzhen Stock Exchange bulk trading platform on April 23, involving an amount of nearly 450 million yuan.
After the investment is completed, Tencent holds 4.6% of Huayi Brothers’ equity and becomes one of Huayi’s shareholders.
West Lake State Guesthouse.
When Wang Changtian saw this news, he was dumbfounded.
Negotiations with Alibaba are still continuing, but Penguin has already invested in Huayi Brothers.
Since then, all three Internet giants BAT have invested in Huayi.
Among them, Alibaba has the largest shares, followed by Penguin, and finally Baidu.
Wang Changtian put down his cell phone, slowly picked up the teacup, and tasted the tea.
Penguin’s investment in Huayi does not mean it fully supports Huayi.
Investing in shares only gives you the right to speak, and you can buy or sell. There is no big loss of funds.
As long as there is no capital injection, there is still room for discussion.
God knows where the money injected ended up.
Of course, this does not mean that there is no danger.
If Penguin doesn’t invest in Ray, Ray will really be helpless.
Wang Changtian never gave up on going public. In addition to Li Mingyang, Guangguang also invested in Jingwu Fengyun, City Alert, and Huatian Xishi 2010.
All three movies will be released this year.
"Fist of Fury" is directed by Liu Weiqiang, produced by Chen Jiashang, and starred by Zhen Zhidan.
This combination of editor, director and actor with a box office of 300 million yuan is the three guarantees for the high box office of the movie. Wang Changtian’s target box office is 200 million yuan.
The sci-fi action film "City Alert" is directed by Chen Musheng and stars Aaron Kwok. The investment is as high as 100 million. Wang Changtian expects the box office to be 100 million.
I don’t expect to get my money back, just break 100 million.
The 10 million-invested Huatian Xishi 2010, a low-budget comedy directed by Huang Baiming, ultimately had a box office of 60 million.
Huang Baiming has never let Wang Changtian down in the past two years.
Even without Li Mingyang, Guangguang still has two movies worth over 100 million this year, and one that uses small to make a big impact.
Wang Changtian is now short of a big capital to drive up the stock price!
Penguin actually doesn't care much about light... All Boss Ma wanted from the beginning to the end was Li Mingyang.
Wang Changtian knew that Li Mingyang just wanted to run away, so he refused on behalf of Li Mingyang.
Then... Penguin came to him.
I can’t drag it on any longer.
Penguin wants an answer.
Wang Changtian suspected that Boss Ma had already reached an agreement with his superiors, and he would be able to enter the video track soon.
Penguin is the well-deserved overlord in the game market.
Penguin will do two things next, one is Weibo and the other is video.
"There are not many choices left. Penguin is forcing him to choose one of three."
"Either Wanda, Penguin, or Ali!"
Wang Changtian muttered to himself, and then took a sip of tea.
After a while, he raised his wrist and glanced at the time.
"Li Mingyang hasn't come to me for so long, has he run away?"
Wang Changtian stood up, left the room, and knocked on the door of the opposite room.
No one opened the door for a long time. Wang Changtian quickly took out his mobile phone and called Li Mingyang.
Knowing that the other party still had time to have breakfast in the restaurant at this time, he felt extremely complicated.
When I arrived at the restaurant, I saw Li Mingyang opening a bottle of champagne and placing it on the table, drinking champagne and eating pasta.
Wang Changtian is either complicated or speechless.
"You are quite happy."
"One of my favorite lines in Hong Kong dramas is, a happy day is a day, and an unhappy day is also a day. Anyway, Ali pays the bill, and if you don't drink, you don't drink." Li Mingyang poured Wang Changtian a glass of wine and said.
"Penguin has invested in Huayi." Wang Changtian put the wine glass aside.
"I know, Brother Ma is forcing us to make a choice."
"What do you think of Wanda?"
The movie is up, middle and down, the light has the upper and middle, Only there is no downstream.
Wanda is the number one cinema chain in China.
The combination of powerful forces is naturally invincible.
But there is a problem... once it unites with Wanda, the light will completely lose its initiative, and will soon be completely swallowed up.
Wanda is a real estate tycoon. It won’t be long before he becomes the largest real estate developer in the country and the richest man in the real estate industry...
The richest man on the Hurun Pig Killing List in the future.
Guang Guang and Wanda are not on the same level at all.
"Okay! I think Wanda is pretty good. Jing Tian happens to be in Wanda too. I can help you make an appointment with Lao Wang. Let's have dinner together and sign the contract happily." Li Mingyang took a sip of champagne and smiled. road.
Wang Changtian chuckled, "I don't need your help. Lao Wang has approached me several times. He wants to acquire the Rays. The price is OK and the shares are OK. After the acquisition, I will still make the decision for the Rays, but I can't trust him... …”
“It’s not Lao Wang who makes the decision.”
“You could say that before, but it’s different now.”
Li Mingyang suddenly became interested. Wondering why it's different.
But Wang Changtian didn't want to say more. He only said that Lao Wang had his own circle.
