Chapter 383 What if the opponent commits suicide out of control
Qin Shaoyan called Zhang Pingyi, Kou Hongfei and others over and held a small meeting.
Convene a general meeting for small matters, and a small meeting for big matters.
Qin Shaoyan is happy to announce to everyone that Qvod.com has begun to make money, and the annual licensing fee for genuine resources alone is US$15 million.
Everyone was very surprised when they heard the good news, especially the executives of Qvod.com cheered and clapped excitedly.
Kou Hongfei was so excited that he shed tears. It was not easy.
Qubao.com finally saw the money back.
As the CEO of Qvod.com, Kou Hongfei was promoted to the position on an emergency basis by President Qin.
After his predecessor Chen Guangxia was promoted and demoted secretly, he resigned after being unable to bear the disparity in treatment and loss of power, and a lot of things fell on his head.
When Kou Hongfei took over Qvod.com, he was completely confused.
Who would have thought that Vice President Chen, who had a bright future and was on the rise in his career, suddenly couldn't think of anything and committed suicide at work.
He is just a technical programmer, and he is not humble. He really cannot hold a management position.
At that time, Kou Hongfei tried his best to refuse, hoping that Mr. Qin would hire Gao Ming instead.
Mr. Qin replied, there is really no one else, so you have to go even if you don’t have to, so just make do with it for now.
As long as the server does not crash, there is nothing more to do.
In this way, Kou Hongfei took office with this inexplicable instruction.
Kou Hongfei has been tense since the day he was appointed, fearing that he would not be able to manage Qvod properly and would not be able to explain anything that went wrong.
He also bought a few books on business management and studied while working.
But it seemed that the book he bought was of no use. He read it several times and still didn’t understand it.
Just like this, Qvod.com grew rapidly. It seemed that the company suddenly got better without doing anything.
The only thing Kou Hongfei did was to keep an eye on the technicians, and then follow President Qin's orders to the letter.
Other than that, he did nothing and used none of the business management skills he learned.
Kou Hongfei can't understand Mr. Qin's PLAY method, but this method is really effective.
Of course, apart from management, what Kou Hongfei is most worried about is how Qvod.com will make money.
As we all know, video websites are very expensive, and the monthly cost is much higher than that of ordinary websites.
Kou Hongfei was frightened when he saw the monthly expenditure figures. One month's cost of Qvod.com was enough to run ten websites.
What’s even more terrible is that Qvod.com has no money-making model yet.
For the sake of user experience, Mr. Qin compressed advertisements as much as possible.
Although many advertisers were willing to invest money in Qvod.com, Kou Hongfei still declined many business orders, which made him feel sad.
Although his reason told him that those advertisements didn't even have enough money to buy bandwidth, it would be nice to make up for it.
Qvod.com can’t just burn money without making any income.
Kou Hongfei sometimes doubted that Mr. Qin was crazy.
Ignoring money and not making any money, just keep spending money. Even though the money spent is investors' money, it cannot be such a waste.
Investors were complaining if things continued like this. Seeing that the company's funds were decreasing day by day, and there was no news about the next round of financing, Kou Hongfei was so anxious that his mouth was bubbling, and he became angry with anxiety.
A good company should not fail just because it cannot raise money.
Other well-informed executives in the company were also a little panicked. They had finally found an Internet company with great potential, and they expected to follow it to success.
If there is a problem with the capital chain, where can I find a company with such good benefits in the future?
But no one expected that when everyone was worried about funds, the company would suddenly make money.
I still make money from the most unlikely copyright.
Everyone in the company was shocked. What kind of magical operation is this?
How can you make so much money from copyright?
How did Mr. Qin do it?
"Mr. Qin is indeed a business wizard. People in the industry say that you know the best about video websites, and you are truly worthy of your reputation." Kou Hongfei said with emotion, "Mr. Qin either doesn't take action, but once he does, he gets a thousand dollars a year. The income of five million US dollars is more profitable than those advertisements."
Other executives agreed and praised Mr. Qin sincerely.
Mr. Qin’s move is indeed brilliant.
Kou Hongfei calculated that the total revenue from the rejected advertisements was only over 10 million RMB, which was indeed incomparable with the genuine licensing fees.
What's more, this is only one year's income, and there will be such a sum every year in the future.
If there are two more companies, then Qvod.com will not have to worry about funding issues at all. It can maintain the company’s normal expenses just by relying on genuine authorization.
When Qin Shaoyan overcame everyone's opinions and proposed to vigorously acquire genuine film and television resources, many people did not understand it.
Now everyone understands that if you don’t understand, it’s because you are a rookie. Mr. Qin’s far-sighted strategic vision is truly top-notch in the industry.
Kou Hongfei was so impressed with Qin Shaoyan that Mr. Qin was indeed the boss who knew the most about video websites in the world. This business idea was unique.
Other competitors in the same industry are still in the stage of plagiarism, but Qvod.com has left them far behind.
If there are no accidents, the overall situation of the video industry has been decided, and Qvod.com will no longer have any rivals.
Now Kuaibo.com no longer needs to consider any competitors. Those small fish and shrimps can no longer catch Kou Hongfei’s eyes. The next thing to consider is how to go public.
Qin Shaoyan smiled at the flattery of his employees and said calmly: "It's just some trivial things."
"Mr. Kou, do you know that there is a Netflix company in the United States that rents video tapes and CDs?"
Kou Hongfei thought for a moment, "Well, I've heard of it."
Qin Shaoyan said solemnly: "One feature of Netflix's website is that they have a special recommendation mechanism to recommend products suitable for users based on their habits on the website."
"I think this recommendation mechanism is very interesting. , we should focus on learning.”
“Simulate and predict user behavior based on users’ video viewing habits, and recommend videos they like to users.”
Kou Hongfei frowned, "This requires algorithms to do it, which is a bit troublesome."
"It doesn't matter, we have to do it no matter how troublesome it is." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "In this way, I will set up a company alone, and the R&D funds will go alone. You just need to cooperate with them if you don’t occupy Qvod’s funds.”
“That’s no problem,” Kou Hongfei said cheerfully, “We fully support it.”
Qin Shaoyan thought about it. After thinking about it, he added, "This company will pay a data usage fee to Qvod.com."
"Huh?" Kou Hongfei was a little surprised, "Mr. Qin, why is this?"
< br>
"This is to avoid disputes." Qin Shaoyan said meaningfully, "Data is also wealth, and it can be used to find another way of income for Qvod."
Kou Hongfei didn't understand what Mr. Qin meant, but he listened anyway Mr. Qin is right.
Mr. Qin’s words must be implemented if you understand them, and you must implement them even if you don’t understand them.
Qin Shaoyan glanced at several senior officials of Kuaibo Network and said seriously: "Now Kuaibo Network has opened up a new profit model, but this is just the beginning."
"This authorized resource licensing fee is just a small step in the company's strategy. The test we will face next is even more severe." "After all, the video website market is not yet mature and users have low awareness of authenticity. What we have to do is how to Guide users correctly and cultivate users’ awareness of authenticity and the habit of watching videos.”
“At the same time, vigorously promoting legitimate resources will definitely arouse hostility and counterattack from peers, and may even incite netizens and users who do not know the truth to spread unfavorable remarks against Qvod.”
"So, the situation we will face in the next stage may be a dangerous battlefield of public opinion."
"Mr. Kou, you will have a heavier burden next."
Kou Hongfei straightened his back , looked at Qin Shaoyan seriously, waiting for the boss to give orders.
"First, we need to rectify the customer service department, step up employee training, and formulate regulations to prevent them from talking nonsense."
Everyone present was a little confused when they heard this. Why didn't Mr. Qin follow the routine?
Why did the customer service department become the first spark of the business war?
That doesn’t make sense?
However, Mr. Qin’s ideas have always been unconstrained, so it’s best to follow them.
Qin Shaoyan ignored everyone's surprised and confused looks and continued to say seriously: "Second, the website has begun to clean up pirated resources, especially domestic film and television drama resources."
"A special team must be set up to review, screen, and Compare and make sure there are no omissions."
Kou Hongfei asked: "What about the foreign resources? Do you want to clean them up together?"
"No need to do so," Qin Shaoyan said casually. These are all resources we transferred from our business partners. They are legal transfers. If there are any copyright disputes, they will be handled by YouTube. ”
“Oh ”
Hearing this, Kou Hongfei had no doubts. Mr. Qin had already bought most of the online copyrights for domestic film and television dramas. The rest were either too old or had poor ratings, and some were not even broadcast on TV stations. Pass.
It is said that it needs to be cleaned up, but in fact it is not much at all.
"Third." Qin Shaoyan said, "The public relations department must prepare a plan to respond to public opinion. First, submit several reports, and I will personally review them."
"What public opinion will arise next? You must remain silent, do not speak out without permission, and do not talk about it in private."
"Fourth, the legal department must be prepared to deal with possible legal disputes," Qin Shaoyan said after thinking for two seconds, "Copyright. It may not be used in disputes and lawsuits, it is more about rumors and slander.”
"If you meet anyone who maliciously slanders, you will always send a lawyer's letter to warn you!"
Kou Hongfei nodded and responded, "Mr. Qin, there are only two lawyers in the legal department, and I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it."
" Are you looking for some outside help?”
“Campus Network has a special cooperative law firm. I’ll ask Xiao Chen to call you later.” Qin Shaoyan then added, “Yiku Network also has one. I will second some people here.”
Hey, you hooked up with Yiku.com again this time?
Kou Hongfei then understood that Yiku.com was now acquired by YouTube and was no longer the same Yiku.com.
Mr. Qin is the former boss of YouTube, and he has a close relationship with YouTube’s new owner, Microsoft.
Zhang Pingyi was also surprised, "Are we forming a strategic alliance with Yiku.com?"
"I was also helpless." Qin Shaoyan sighed with emotion, "It's Davis I couldn't get him to ask for it, so I could only agree to cooperate."
Zhang Pingyi sneered and said nothing.
However, it is a good thing to form an alliance with Yiku.com. Previously, Kuaibo.com became a loner in the industry and was targeted by the "Anti-Quaibo Alliance".
Now that Yiku.com is available, we can share some of the pressure.
And the situation is a little different this time. As soon as Qin Shaoyan talked about copyright, Zhang Pingyi remembered the last conversation between Mr. Qin and Zhang Chaoyang.
It seems that Qin Shaoyan is finally going to attack his peers this time, raising the banner of copyright to attack them.
Anti-piracy cannot be done by oneself alone. We must recruit more allies.
There was Sohu Video before, and Yiku.com later.
Tsk tsk, if you want to say that the American company has to be generous, Davis gave it fifteen million US dollars with a wave of his hand.
After Qin Shaoyan assigned the tasks to the executives of Qvod.com, he let them go.
Zhang Pingyi stood up and wanted to follow him out, but Qin Shaoyan stayed behind.
"Master Zhang, I have a job now that I need you to do." Qin Shaoyan said seriously.
"Go ahead." Zhang Pingyi replied directly.
"It's from the game company. Go and recruit a few people." Qin Shaoyan said, taking out a paper plan and handing it to Zhang Pingyi, "You do it according to the requirements I wrote."< br>
Zhang Minyi was very surprised when he took over Qin Shaoyan's plan and asked: "There is going to be a war here on Qvod.com. You don't let me help but you send it to the game company instead. What kind of operation is this?"
“Quabo.com has a lot of thunder and a small amount of rain, and is not technically needed. It mainly relies on public opinion wars.” Qin Shaoyan explained seriously, “The game company side is more important, and it affects the company next year. strategy.”
“What’s more, we are not the main force this time, we are the supporting players.”
"Huh?" Zhang Pingyi was a little surprised, "So you don't plan to charge."
"Why do you charge? Anti-piracy must be dealt with by others, and Qvod.com won't charge." Qin Shaoyan said confidently. Said, "If you take the lead, let others take the limelight."
"You received 15 million US dollars from Yiku.com, and Davis still expects you to carry the banner. Then you said you wouldn't rush?" Zhang Pingyi said contemptuously.
"That's the copyright fee. Being a thug is not the price." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "If he gives me 1.5 billion, I can still consider it."
Zhang Pingyi suddenly looked serious. , "Yiku.com is now owned by Microsoft. YouTube has reached out to the domestic market and will become a strong competitor in the future. You still authorize genuine resources to them. Isn't this inviting a wolf into the house?"
"Are you not worried at all?"
"What do I have to worry about." Qin Shaoyan smiled nonchalantly, "So what if Yiku.com took the genuine resources? I'm not bragging. In my eyes, they are not even qualified to be opponents."
"Are you a little arrogant?" Zhang Pingyi frowned and persuaded, "Davis is not a good person, so you should take it easy. "
"If Yiku.com wants to make a difference in the domestic market, it must first clean up its management team and then hire local talents. Only then will it be possible," Qin Shaoyan said lightly, "Moreover. What's more, even if they want to compete with Qvod, they must first obtain a video website license."
The video website license refers to the "Information Network Audiovisual Program License", and currently only Qvod is available. A private enterprise such as Yiku.com has obtained it, but no other video website has it, let alone the foreign investment of Yiku.com.
Zhang Pingyi thought about it and was a little surprised, "You mean, the administrative agencies will impose restrictions on them?"
"It's hard to say." Qin Shaoyan smiled.
"What if not? What should you do?" Zhang Pingyi was a little anxious.
Nowadays, many American Internet companies have entered the domestic Internet, such as eBay acquired by eBay, such as Google, such as Yahoo, and each one seems more fierce than the last.
Zhang Pingyi’s worries are not unfounded, he is really worried about Yiku.com becoming bigger.
Qin Shaoyan once told him that video websites are content output platforms and are related to ideological issues.
Whether it is due to industry competition or simple patriotism, Yiku.com cannot be allowed to survive.
Qin Shaoyan said with a relaxed smile, "Don't worry, I have a way to deal with them, it's just Yiku.com."
"Maybe Yiku.com committed suicide because of the thought."< br>
“Stop talking nonsense, there is no good company that can’t think of committing suicide.” How could Zhang Pingyi believe it?
