Chapter 381 Professional Partner
“Copyright?” Davis was a little surprised and confused, “Why copyright?”
At first glance, Davis knew nothing about video websites. They don’t even understand the market situation in China.
I don’t know if it was his assistant’s mistake or his contempt for the Chinese market, but this is a good thing for Qin Shaoyan.
Qin Shaoyan smiled and said enthusiastically: "As for the issue of copyright, we have to first talk about how many volumes there are in the domestic video website industry."
"According to incomplete statistics, there are now more than 200 video websites in total, and a dozen or dozens of new video websites are launched every month. This track is crowded with too many entrepreneurs."
"But regardless of the size of the website, they all have a common problem, that is, the lack of high-quality content."
"Video websites have not been established for a long time and the number of users is not large, so when users share homemade content It’s still lacking.”
“In order to make up for the lack of content, video websites, without exception, condone some users, and even upload a large amount of content without the authorization of the copyright owner.”
“Including movies, TV series, variety shows, music MVs, documentaries, etc., and even a large number of foreign movies and TV series.”
"They use a large amount of pirated content to fill the content library to attract users. This has almost become their most important means of attracting users."
"You have to know." Qin Shaoyan said very sincerely, "Davis, in the future It is unethical to use these contents without permission."
Davis was startled and asked: "I remember that YouTube also has a lot of unauthorized film and television content?"
"Oh, that's not illegal." Qin Shaoyan immediately added, "We won the copyright lawsuit in the California court."
Davis immediately remembered this matter, and after clever operation and After legal donations, YouTube won the copyright case.
From now on, YouTube can legally use high-quality content uploaded by users.
Although it is indeed immoral, it is not illegal.
"China and the United States are different." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "This matter is not only immoral in China, but also illegal."
"China's legal system is completely different from that of the United States. Different." Qin Shaoyan added.
There is no such thing as case law in the civil legal system, and the YouTube method simply does not work.
Davis frowned, "You mean to use legal means to attack competitors?"
"Is this okay?" Davis couldn't help but have some questions, "I mean China's judiciary, you know , I’m afraid it won’t have much effect, right?”
Well, Qin Shaoyan knows more about judicial issues than Davis, so it’s normal for the other party to have doubts.
This era called "free and open" is indeed too free and open, and it is simply unscrupulous.
Dean Chen, who loves learning foreign languages, is telling the truth.
However, Davis has a natural advantage. He is a foreigner, and a very high-status foreigner. He is backed by Microsoft, a world-renowned large company, and it is much more convenient for him to do things than Chinese people.
“Respecting intellectual property rights and combating piracy is politically correct.” Qin Shaoyan said meaningfully, “The administrative agencies will definitely support it, at least they are on our side.”
< br>Whether it is to prevent surprise from allies or to consider the "business environment," Davis will encounter much less resistance.
China has not yet joined the WTO for four years, and intellectual property protection is one of the most important aspects.
Davis gradually smiled, and he seemed to understand what Qin Shaoyan meant, "You mean, you can get those competitors into trouble by initiating lawsuits?"
"No, no, no." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand and said sincerely, "China's business world pays attention to harmony and anger, and there is no need for colleagues to do this, because in the consciousness of the Chinese people, getting into litigation and disputes is very troublesome, and it will not happen until there is a complete break. Using this method." Davis frowned, a little confused, "Then what do you mean?"
"Litigation is only a deterrent, as long as an administrative agency takes a stand. , We don’t even have to go that far, competitors will bleed themselves,” Qin Shaoyan said seriously, “We should take the initiative to express our stance and use practical actions to support genuine products, and then talk about piracy as a harm to the industry.”
“First fill the content resource library with genuine high-quality content, build copyright barriers, and then attack opponents.”
Davis’s eyes lit up. This plan is so beautiful that it will not only win Bill Praise from Gates and the board of directors, and it can also help undermine competitors.
Simply kill two birds with one stone.
Davis picked up the coffee cup, "Then the next step is to acquire the film and television drama copyrights, and try to collect as many copyrights as possible in a short time."
"Well, I hope that in the future I can purchase at least two thousand TV series and five hundred movies next year. It seems that I will expand Yiku.com as soon as possible. The next copyright negotiations will make them very busy."
"No, Davis" Qin Shaoyan. He smiled and said, "It's not that troublesome at all. You don't need to negotiate."
"What's more, you can't buy any film and television drama rights now, because most of the online broadcast rights of film and television dramas belong to me. Here, it is exclusively authorized.”
Davis was stunned and a little surprised, "Walter Falk?"
"Since the establishment of Qvod.net, we have been acquiring exclusive online broadcast rights everywhere." Qin Shaoyan showed a faint smile, "We have tens of thousands of movies and TV series, and there is no one with a more complete content resource library than us."
"John, you are such a business genius." Davis praised helplessly, "You have already Enough copyright barriers have been built.”
“No, it should be said that it’s us.” Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, “I can’t do it alone. Only by joining in can Yiku.net build up this copyright barrier. Stronger."
Davis smiled, "What's the price?"
"Yiku.com only needs to pay the copyright fee to Kuaibo.com to get the authorization from Kuaibo.com." Qin Shaoyan spread his hands with a smile, "We provide various package services, such as package A with 3,000 TV series plus 600 Movies, package B is five thousand TV series plus one thousand movies."
"So is there a more luxurious VIP package?" Davis asked directly, "I hope to get more and better. Service.”
“For 100 million yuan, we will completely share the content resource library with Yiku.com,” Qin Shaoyan replied.
“One hundred million U.S. dollars?” Davis frowned, “This price is too high and BOSS will not approve it.”
“No, it is 100 million RMB, which is just one yuan. More than 10 million US dollars," Qin Shaoyan immediately added.
"More than ten million dollars?" Davis perked up, "The price is very reasonable."
"I'm talking about every year." Qin Shaoyan emphasized.
"What else?" Davis was surprised, "John, I'm not a rookie without business knowledge. I use US$15 million per year to obtain a sharing license for the content resource library of Qvod.com. This The price is very reasonable."
Qin Shaoyan smiled, "I also think fifteen million dollars is very reasonable."
"By the way, Davis, you know the more professional one. A business consulting company, I want to purchase their services, the budget is five million dollars per year.”
"Well, I happen to know such a business consulting company." Davis picked up the coffee with a smile, "Very professional."
"Great, I like to deal with professionals." Qin Shaoyan also revealed With a tacit smile, he picked up the coffee and said, "Let's drink a toast."
It's so easy to deal with professional partners.
