Chapter 385 Pay for the genuine copy
Zhang Chaoyang rushed to the campus network company excitedly and was taken into the reception room by Qin Shaoyan's secretary.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qin Shaoyan and an unknown foreigner sitting on the sofa. There were coffee and various exquisite snacks on the table.
The two of them sat lazily on the sofa, chatting happily in English.
When Zhang Chaoyang saw this scene, he immediately became more energetic.
This is my favorite style.
In a leisurely afternoon, with comfortable sofas and exquisite refreshments, three or five high-end friends gathered together to drink tea and chat. It was so pleasant.
Qin Shaoyan did not get up, raised his hand and said hello in Mandarin, "Mr. Zhang is here, come and sit here."
Zhang Chaoyang didn't care, and walked over to find a seat to sit. Come down.
Qin Shaoyan immediately introduced Davis in English, "This is Mr. Zhang Chaoyang, CEO of Sohu. You can call him Charles."
"This is Mr. Davis Hansen from Microsoft, who is responsible for YouTube."
The two smiled and shook each other's hands, exchanged a few words, and they were acquainted.
Zhang Chaoyang is a Ph.D. from MIT. He has been in the United States for several years and his English skills are naturally not bad.
Qin Shaoyan's ordinary English conversation was no problem, and the three of them started talking directly without the need for a translator.
Davis first suggested: "We should establish an anti-piracy alliance."
Zhang Chaoyang immediately said, "This is a very good idea. I agree very much. Our Sohu Video is willing to join the anti-piracy alliance."
"Great, now we have three members of the anti-piracy alliance." Qin Shaoyan said happily , "I should be able to pull over a few websites."
Davis didn't care and agreed casually, "That's fine."
Zhang Chaoyang felt that the three of them were enough. No matter how much people are brought in, it's just a small website, and it doesn't have much weight in terms of size and influence.
But Qin Shaoyan suggested it, and Zhang Chaoyang couldn't refute it. Besides, it's always good to get a few more heads to build momentum.
Look at the "Anti-Quabo Alliance", any website can be pulled over, and it doesn't require any effort from small websites, just follow the flag and shout.
"Now that we have formed an alliance, let's draw up a few charters first. After all, we need to work together in a unified way, and it won't work without rules." Qin Shaoyan suggested seriously.
"This is natural." Zhang Chaoyang agreed, "You must first have rules when doing things."
Davis also nodded and motioned for Qin Shaoyan to continue.
Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds and said slowly: "First of all, anti-piracy is a very serious matter. To show our justice, we must start with ourselves."
"Starting from the signing of the Anti-Piracy Alliance, we will eliminate pirated resources on our video websites and promise never to use pirated resources."
"This is a must." Zhang Chaoyang said seriously, "Forging iron is still necessary. If we are too strong on our own, we can’t live up to our word when we build an anti-piracy alliance.”
Qin Shaoyan continued: “The second point is that our actions must be coordinated, and we must not fight independently, but must pool our strength.”< br>
“Anti-piracy must cooperate closely, and information between each other must be smooth.”
Qin Shaoyan said several rules in succession after careful consideration, and Zhang Chaoyang then added some more, which can be regarded as the "anti-piracy alliance" The charter has basically been finalized.
The atmosphere of the salon symposium became more and more lively, and the three people were in high spirits.
Qin Shaoyan picked up the coffee and touched it with Davis, and said with a smile: "The staff of Qvod.com have sorted out the film and television resource library, and we can quickly hand over the hard drive to store the resources to Yiku As soon as the agreement is signed, the hard drive will be sent to Yiku.com's server immediately. "No problem." Davis is also very happy. This is a big deal after all, "Mr. Bill Gates." I also support Yiku.com’s approach to purchasing genuine film and television resources and fully agree with our agreement.”
“As long as the contract is reviewed by the legal department, I will sign it immediately.”
“I believe in our agreement. Cooperation is a win-win choice," Qin Shaoyan said happily, "In fact, only one-way transactions for purchasing genuine resources are not sustainable in the long run. We should learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's resources."
"YouTube and Yiku.com should also set up their own content resource libraries and master a batch of content resources belonging to the website."
"In this way, we can purchase genuine content from YouTube." Davis was a little confused. , YouTube mainly allows users to upload and share content, and the content is all produced by the users themselves.
The content uploaded by YouTube itself is all pirated TV programs and Hollywood movies, and they have not paid any copyright fees.
How can YouTube have its own content? You can’t just sell other people’s stuff to Qvod.com and collect a sum of money.
While using the banner of "anti-piracy" in China, they are making money from American pirated content.
Although it is said that capital does not care about face issues in order to make profits, this work is somewhat too abstract.
Davis is afraid that TV stations and Hollywood in the United States will sue YouTube if they find out about this, but it’s okay to litigate.
The problem is that being involved in copyright disputes in the United States will prevent China's anti-piracy strategy from being implemented, which will affect the interests of Davis and Yiku.com.
This is absolutely not possible.
However, Qin Shaoyan said that YouTube wanted to produce its own genuine content. Although Davis did not understand it, he gave it full respect.
After all, the person in front of me may be the person who knows the most about video websites in the world.
So Davis once again asked shamelessly, "Now all the content on YouTube is shared by users, and the copyright belongs to the users themselves. So how does YouTube obtain content that belongs to its own copyright?"
"We can't learn from TV stations or Hollywood to produce our own movies and TV series, right?"
"Why not?" Qin Shaoyan asked, "In the future, the Internet will be the mainstream, and YouTube will replace TV stations and Hollywood theaters as the most popular The main channel.”
"No, no, no." Davis shook his head quickly, "We can't compare to TV stations and Hollywood. They have a lot of power. This is totally impossible."
Now YouTube has just grown, its size and influence They are still too young. Television and Hollywood have not realized the power of the Internet, otherwise they would not have allowed this threat to grow.
If you take too big a step, it is easy to pull off the egg.
Qin Shaoyan thought for a while, "Then we can start with user-generated content."
"YouTube can develop an advertising sharing plan to encourage users to upload more high-quality content, and then based on the playback volume and users Sharing advertising allows users to gain benefits, which will encourage users to be more active in producing and uploading high-quality content.”
"You can add a clause in the advertising sharing plan. The copyright of the content added to the sharing plan belongs to YouTube, so that YouTube can make money from this content."
Davis agreed with a smile: "This is a good idea!"
"This way YouTube can try new business models." Qin Shaoyan said, "At the same time, Qvod.com can also use the content shared by YouTube without any worries, and we pay to use it."
"This is indeed a win-win, hahaha." Davis laughed, "The advertising sharing plan is a great solution."
The solution is indeed great, now it is mine, Davis has I'm thinking about how to write a report to Bill Gates to claim credit.
Davis said excitedly: "Members of the Anti-Piracy Alliance can have priority in purchasing high-quality content using YouTube, and we will provide discounts. How about it?"
"Very good." Qin Shaoyan nodded.
Davis looked at Zhang Chaoyang again, "Charles, what do you think?"
Zhang Chaoyang was confused, what is this?
Didn’t we talk about anti-piracy? Why did we talk about buying genuine content again?
Why should I buy some high-quality content from YouTube? Can’t I just move the stuff there?
Now let me spend money to buy it, what is the operation?
I joined the Anti-Piracy Alliance to fight against competitors, not to spend money.
Qin Shaoyan immediately answered, "Mr. Zhang naturally supports it. He has clearly expressed his support for the protection of intellectual property rights before, and the anti-piracy alliance was also proposed by him."
" How about sharing genuine content at a preferential price between our anti-piracy alliances? ”
Qin Shaoyan looked at Zhang Chaoyang again, "Mr. Zhang, Yiku.com has purchased the film and television resource library of Qvod.com, do you want to buy it too?"
"Ah?!" Zhang Chaoyang was stunned and asked subconsciously. He said, "How much?"
"Fifteen million US dollars." Qin Shaoyan added, "One year."
"...", Zhang Chaoyang was immediately silenced. .
