Chapter 380 Davis Asks for a Plan
While the Kuaibo website was rejoicing, other video websites were in complete silence.
Everyone seemed to have lost their souls. The employees carefully observed the movements in the boss's office while secretly opening the small window to watch the "Super Girl" national finals on Qvod.com.
At this time, it was dark in the office of Tudou.com’s boss. Only the light from the computer screen shone on the face of Wang Wei, the boss of Tudou.com, flickering.
Wang Wei melancholy lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and sent a message to Youku.com CEO Gu Yongqiang on QQ.
"Mr. Gu, what do you think?"
The other party didn't reply for several minutes and seemed to be offline.
This old fox is pretending to be dead again. Let’s see how long you can keep pretending.
If you keep pretending, you Youku will really die!
Not just you, but others too!
Wang Wei put out his cigarette butts with some resentment and looked at the "Anti-Quavo Alliance" group. Several people were chatting, but they were all nonsense, but no one mentioned Kuaibo.com.
I took a look at the IDs of the chatters. They were all unknown small websites, some of which I had never heard of.
You can’t count on these rotten fish and shrimps at all, you have to rely on a few big video websites.
Wang Wei took a look at his friend list. The avatars of the bosses of Youku.com, 56.com, and Ku6.com were all still on, but there was no movement.
His eyes turned to the profile picture of another friend. That profile picture had been gray for a long time and never lit up.
That is Chen Guangxia’s QQ account. Yiku.com has been sold to YouTube. Now the new CEO of Yiku.com has ignored them and seems to disdain to hang out with them.
Wang Wei frowned, and then smiled self-deprecatingly. After all, they are an American Internet company. They are backed by Microsoft and YouTube, so they naturally have the capital to be proud.
I just don’t know what means Yiku.com will use to deal with Qvod.com, I’m really looking forward to it.
I have to find an opportunity to interact more with Yiku.com. I had a relationship with Chen Guangxia before, so I couldn’t build a relationship with Yiku.com.
Now that Chen Guangxia has been driven away, Yiku.com has been acquired, and he has nothing to do with Qin Shaoyan anymore.
At this time, Yiku.com was sitting beside Tudou.com, and they could deal with Qvod.com together.
Youyiku.com joins the "Anti-Kuaibo Alliance". I wonder how long you, Kuaibo.com, can continue to be arrogant!
Wang Wei sneered.
......
"What do I think? Of course I sat down and watched it." Gu Yongqiang sneered a few times, then turned to look at the TV.
The live broadcast of the "Super Girl" national finals was being played on the TV screen. Looking at the number of votes cast via text messages on his mobile phone, Gu Yongqiang felt very melancholy.
MD, this time Qvod.com has gained popularity again!
Unexpectedly, Kuaibo.com quietly gave these colleagues a big job, as if they were mocking them silently.
Before, they had some kind of "video podcast" plan with websites such as Tudou.com and Ku6.com to promote user-generated content. However, after two months of doing so, nothing came of it.
Most of the website’s traffic is still supported by pirated movies and TV series. The videos uploaded by users are not nutritious, and not many people watch them.
Occasionally, there are videos with higher quality, but they are short-lived and the number of views cannot increase.
This is still caused by the fact that the website has few users. With few users, users are unwilling to upload content. If they are unwilling to upload content, there will be no high-quality content. Without high-quality content, it will not be able to attract more users.
The endless loop belongs to yes.
There hasn’t been much movement in the “video podcast” here, but Qvod.com has launched a self-made documentary “Take You to See the World”.
As soon as this show came out, Gu Yongqiang knew it was going to be bad.
Because people want content with content, picture quality with quality, gimmicks with gimmicks, and all kinds of elements.
As expected, "Take You to See the World" instantly became popular on the Internet. It was forwarded on all major community platforms and people could be seen discussing it everywhere.
After all, the moon in foreign countries is round. Although most people cannot go there, being able to see the scenery of foreign countries on video can be regarded as spiritual tourism.
Immediately afterwards, Qvod.com launched a client, linked up with the most popular variety show "Super Girl" at the moment, and launched a live webcast of the finals on the Qvod client.
This time the heat is even more explosive.
Qvod.com has just released a celebration poster, and the number of people online at the same time has exceeded 208,000.
208W!
Biyouku.com has more monthly active users.
This is just the result of the Qvod.com client. If this continues, colleagues from other video websites should stop messing around and sell the website as soon as possible.
No, Youku.com must make some noise, otherwise there will be no material to tell stories for the next financing.
Gu Yongqiang immediately called the operations director in, "How was the last grassroots DV director activity for you?"
"There has been progress." The operations director said quickly, "We found one. The director is a college student. He usually likes to shoot something on DV, and he is quite famous on the Internet. "
"What about the quality of the content?" Gu Yongqiang continued to ask.
“The quality is very high and the story looks very good and very suspenseful.” The operations director couldn’t help but smile on his face. “It was filmed in a documentary style and it looks very real and special. There is a sense of immersion. This film will definitely be a hit."
"Very good." Gu Yongqiang nodded, "Purchase it for 100,000 yuan, run it well, and build up the data before the end of the year. ! ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, leave this matter to me." The operations director assured confidently.
The operations director walked out of the office and immediately found an empty conference room to make a call, "Hey, Xiao Zhang, that movie you recommended looks good. Mr. Gu said I would pay 50,000 yuan to buy it. Come down, I’ll leave this matter to you, I must do it well.”
…
Qin Shaoyan was alone in the office at this time, coding on the computer with great interest. Unlike before when he couldn't hold back a few words for a long time, now he was so inspired that he just typed out words at the keyboard.
A few hours passed and he finished writing the first part of the novel, which was nearly 40,000 words.
"Well, that's pretty much what it means. You can ask professional astrophysicists about the content about Mars." Qin Shaoyan thought for a while and called his secretary Xiao Chen in. "You can help me find some astrophysics professionals. Come over, especially those who study Mars, including doctoral students and graduate students. Spend some money to have a meal. I want to have a chat with them."
Xiao Chen was stunned, how could Mr. Qin's business expand to the universe. Got hit?
"Why are you still standing there?" Qin Shaoyan urged, "Go quickly, I'm waiting, this matter is urgent."
Xiao Chen quickly agreed, turned around with a grimace and left. office, and then walked straight to the office hall and found a place where programmers gathered. "Brother programmer, do any of you know someone who studies Mars?"
The programmers looked at each other, researching Mars?
We know almost everyone who studies Martian literature.
A few programmers immediately started discussing. After all, the girl asked for help, so they had to come up with a plan no matter what.
“You have to ask the Observatory about this, right?”
“The Chinese Academy of Sciences must have it.”
“You are stupid, we are a campus network, we specialize in dealing with universities, universities There must be talents in this field, why don’t you just send a message and ask?”
"Eh, that's right." Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. "Thank you, programmer brother. Then you can post a post for me. It's best to pin it to the top. I don't have administrator rights."
A programmer thinks it's not Patiently, "I'll give you administrator rights, so you can post by yourself."
"Then how do you make the title red?" Xiao Chen continued to ask for advice humbly.
"Just use HTML to edit. If you don't know how, check it on Baidu. There are teaching contents on it." The programmer replied blankly.
Xiao Chen's teeth were almost broken at this time, but he still maintained a smile on the surface. "Thank you, brother!"
Xiao Chen turned around and rolled her eyes helplessly. She had given up on the programmers in the company.
Qin Shaoyan stood at the door of the office and saw this scene, showing a knowing smile.
The programmers in the company are really full of stereotypes.
Secretary Xiao Chen was speechless at Mr. Qin’s behavior of watching the excitement. This boss is good at everything, why is he so nosy?
While thinking about it, he picked up Mr. Qin's cell phone and soon entered a serious working state again.
"Mr. Qin, Davis's flight from Microsoft has just arrived, and he wants to meet you."
Huh?
Qin Shaoyan was startled. Why did Davis come to China if he couldn't enjoy his life as a billionaire?
Could it be that the crime happened and they took refuge here?
Of course, this is impossible. There is no reason to escape to China after committing a crime.
Qin Shaoyan was thinking wildly and glanced at the schedule, "Let's have a reception banquet for him at noon today. Go and order a table of roast duck for me and let Mr. Zhang know."< br>
......
Davis came to the appointment alone with a cheerful face, and his overall appearance looked much better than before.
As expected, money nourishes people.
After Davis became rich, he became energetic and seemed to be ten years younger.
"John, it's great to see you." Davis came up and gave him a warm hug.
Qin Shaoyan was a little embarrassed and responded perfunctorily: "Why did you come to China again? Are you here for vacation?"
"No, no, no, it's not just a vacation, there are also some company matters to attend to. Deal with it." Davis said with a smile, "Every time I see you, you always bring me good luck. I can't wait to see you."
Qin Shaoyan sat down and said casually. Asked: "How are you lately?"
"It's better than before." Davis said proudly, "Since YouTube acquired Yiku.com, I have never felt that life is so wonderful. Money, honor, and status come so fast and suddenly, oh, God Now, I don’t think I’m ready to be a billionaire yet.”
“Well, wealth always comes so suddenly,” Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.
This guy made at least 100 million US dollars from the acquisition plan. Maybe it was too much money and too easy to come by, which made Davis a little overwhelmed and started to bluster.
He feels that this is real life.
After getting the money, Davis began to plan where to buy a mansion, then buy a yacht, and call a few beauties.
After working hard for half your life, you still can’t enjoy yourself?
If it weren't for the fear that the money would be too eye-catching, Davis would have invited his friends to have a party together.
Davis has begun to think about how to write a resignation letter and take the money to have a good time.
It was just a small accident that forced him to temporarily change his resignation plan.
"What business do you have in China this time?" Qin Shaoyan asked.
"It's still about Yiku.com. After the acquisition is completed, the management needs to change." Davis didn't take it seriously and told Qin Shaoyan about Yiku.com without reservation. "YouTube is still discussing whether to set up a At the China headquarters, someone suggested that we simply hand over the management to the YouTube headquarters. "It's all a mess."
Davis laughed, "After the acquisition, the company will inevitably have problems. Some confusions are just small things.”
“But the most important thing is to let Yiku.com open up the situation and make some achievements urgently.”
Davis face. He stopped smiling and said, "John, what suggestions do you have?"
"Are you asking me about Yiku.com?" Qin Shaoyan was very surprised, "I shouldn't even know about this kind of thing."
He has nothing to do with Yiku.com. Although he was a subordinate of YouTube after the acquisition, But Qin Shaoyan is no longer a shareholder of YouTube.
What's more, he is also the boss of Qvod.com, and the two parties are in a competitive relationship.
You should not ask Qin Shaoyan either emotionally or rationally.
“Come on, John.” Davis said with a nonchalant expression, “We are friends and I have nothing to hide from you.”
"Having said that, Yiku.com belongs to YouTube, and I belong to Microsoft. In terms of affiliation, Yiku.com has nothing to do with me."
"But Bill has been very optimistic about me recently and promoted me. I'm really worried about my salary, and I'm worried about YouTube."
"No one on the entire Internet knows how to operate a video website better than you, so just help me and I owe you a favor. . ”
Originally, after YouTube completed the acquisition, Davis could leave it alone.
But Bill Gates felt that Davis was very visionary, and the acquisition of YouTube was also handled very smoothly, so he felt that this guy was a talent.
So after board discussions, YouTube was handed over to Davis to manage.
The high annual salary and option rewards made Davis very excited, so he decided not to resign yet.
Other than the reorganization of management, YouTube is developing very smoothly in the United States, and there is not much performance to explore.
Since the local business target could not produce any eye-catching PPT, Davis set his sights outside the United States.
As soon as he takes office, he plans to learn from Facebook's model and promote YouTube to other countries, starting with English-speaking areas, such as Canada.
After all, this is relatively simple, can produce results quickly, and the performance is also good.
But some people have put forward different opinions and believe that Asia is also important, especially China.
The Internet in China is developing very fast. There are already 100 million Internet users. Everyone is optimistic about this market with huge potential.
I think that the English area is not worth paying too much cost, but we should start with the Chinese area.
Because there is Yiku.com in China, which is YouTube’s strategic foothold, and judging from the data, Yiku.com is developing very well on the Chinese Internet.
Therefore, many people suggested that we should start with Yiku.com. However, there were so many people in favor of this plan that Davis could not refuse.
So he could only arrange for people to go to UC to develop the market, and then personally bring people to China.
Because the problem of Yiku.com is very troublesome, you must not let others go, otherwise the secret will be exposed.
Davis knows best whether there is any problem with Yiku.com’s data.
Others look at Yiku.com’s outstanding results and think they are very capable, but in fact they are at the bottom.
How can we develop the Chinese region with such a mess?
So Davis had to ask Qin Shaoyan for help.
Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "I do have an immature plan about Yiku.com."
Davis's eyes lit up and he laughed: "I knew you had it Please tell me how to do it."
Qin Shaoyan said seriously: "I think you can start with copyright."
