China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 471 469. The richest man in China, the troll is causing trouble (5-in-, K)

China.

"Happy! Why does Apple charge?"

"Well done Penguin! What's so good about an Apple phone? I will definitely not use Apple in the future!"

"Like the guy who smashed the iPhone, support domestic products!"

"Reject the Apple tax! Support Fei Ge Video!"

"The desire of the United States to oppress us is too strong. If Boss Cao swallows his anger this time, it will make them even more unscrupulous! Fei Ge did a great job this time!"

"Boss Cao is awesome. He has the support of Penguin and Huawei. What will Apple do?"

As for the incident that Apple wants to charge Fei Ge Video, it has received almost unanimous support from netizens across the country.

And those Apple users don’t want to be taken advantage of anymore and pay 30% more to contribute to Apple.

Who has easy money?

Celebrities under Feiyu also criticized Apple's approach on Weibo. For a time, Huawei flagship stores across the country were crowded, and people who wanted to change or buy mobile phones lined up.

Although the reaction abroad is not as intense as that of China, many people are waiting for Apple's reaction.

"cheers!"

In a private club, Cao Yu, Lu Huateng, and Liu Qiangdong were drinking wine to celebrate the initial victory in the war.

Cao Yu drank a glass of wine and smiled at the two brothers: "Let Gang Leader Qiao do a good job of translating this time. What a surprise!"

"Repay Gang Leader Qiao? Is that too much praise for him? Gang Leader Qiao is a hero. How can Steve Jobs compare to Gang Leader Qiao? He is just a blood-sucking capitalist!"

Liu Qiangdong felt that the title "Gang Leader Qiao" was a bit of a waste when applied to Steve Jobs.

"Slip of the tongue."

Cao Yu chuckled: "How do you think Steve Jobs will respond this time?"

"He is being roasted by us now, but I still think he will fight to the end. If they cancel the fee due to pressure, what will others think?"

Lu Huateng said this and rubbed his forehead: "But maybe, if they still want the Huaxia Market, they may not dare to charge for the time being."

"Then let's wait another two days and see."

Cao Yu is not in a hurry. Anyway, everyone in China is already shouting about Apple, and his 30% increase in membership fees will not affect the Chinese people.

In foreign countries, even if the fee is increased by 30%, it will actually be an extra two dollars a month. As long as the content on Fei'e Video is attractive enough, it should be able to retain existing members.

After several people drank for a while, Cao Yu took out a piece of information and a CD from his bag and said to Lu Huateng: "Brother Lu, these are some small games I have recently made. You can develop them as quickly as possible. "

"Oh?"

Lu Huateng took the information and saw that it looked like various birds. The setting of the game was that the birds used their own bodies as weapons to attack in different environments in order to take revenge on the fat pigs who stole the eggs. The fortress of the fat pigs.

"Angry Birds? This game is a bit simple."

After reading it, he looked at his good brother in surprise, feeling that he shouldn't have created this game.

"Easy? You'll know when you figure it out."

Cao Yu pointed to the gameplay and said: "It's really not simple. Players have to use their fingers to control the pop-up angle and strength of the bird, so that they can hit the fat pig more accurately. It's not simple, and this game can be played by men, women, old and young." .”

As he said that, he picked up another game: "There is also this game called Xiaoxiaole. It looks simpler, but it is not difficult in fact. Haha, these two games are just for killing time when people have nothing to do. If I wasn't too lazy to make games, I wouldn't be able to give you such a good thing."

"Can it really be popular?"

The most profitable games for Penguin right now are either World of Warcraft or LOL, and there are also CF and others. Lu Huateng thinks that small games like this may not necessarily attract players.

"Brother Lu, mobile phones have become intelligent, and mobile games are the future development trend. Unfortunately, current mobile phone memory and configuration are not enough. This kind of game is the most suitable."

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible!"

Although he was skeptical, Lu Huateng chose to believe Cao Yu: "If it really becomes popular, I will give you more of it."

"Haha, then I'm not polite, but these two games should still not appear on Apple phones. When the games become popular, we will see how much Apple's market share is left!"

Now Cao Yu still plans to develop in the entertainment industry. He can leave the gaming aspect to the professional Lu Huateng and enjoy his achievements by himself.

"It turns out that Brother Cao wants to use these two games to suppress Apple, so I will be more confident!"

Lu Huateng picked up his wine glass: "WeChat has been online for a month now, and the number of users has exceeded 10 million. I believe it will exceed 100 million before the end of the year. By December, I plan to launch payment and red envelope functions. WeChat is a really good software. , many things in the future can be developed with the help of this platform.”

"My next Hollywood movie will have WeChat integrated into it, and I will strive to make it the world's number one social software! It will also help Jingdong attract traffic."

"That's great. Our brothers' cooperation is perfect."

Liu Qiangdong also raised his glass, and the three brothers clinked another glass.

Of these three people, one controls the popular and influential entertainment industry, the other controls the traffic platform, and the other uses the traffic to monetize. This combination can be said to be invincible.

Cao Yu was still drinking and celebrating, but Ma Yun was locked in the house alone at Ali's headquarters in Hangzhou.

"What's wrong with the Chinese people? How come they don't want iPhones even if they say they don't want them? Did they agree that all Chinese people worship foreigners?"

He was disappointed with the reactions of Feige Video, Penguin, and Huawei to Apple.

I originally thought I could take the opportunity to snatch customers from Fei Ge, but now it seems that my happiness is in vain.

"Even Apple is not Cao Yu's opponent. It seems that Ahri must also master the traffic password to truly rise. SM alone may not be enough!"

He sat on the chair and suddenly remembered that there was an entertainment company called Times Fengjun on the Internet recently, which was training a group of children as trainees in the mountain city, saying that they wanted to copy Johnny's success in China.

"I have to contact this company to see if we can cooperate and ask them to send the video to Tudou."

He immediately searched for Shi Fengjun's contact information on the Internet and asked someone to contact him immediately to see if he could cooperate.

…………

United States, Apple.

After treatment some time ago, Jobs was not sent to the hospital because of Cao Yu's anger this time, but he is still in a dilemma now.

Cancellation of charges?

It's so embarrassing and not in line with Apple's style.

But if it is not revoked, this bad guy’s hat will never be taken off.

Finally, he still wanted to hear Cook's advice: "Cook, what do you think we should do now?"

"Since the charging decision has been announced, it cannot be changed. If you are a bad guy, you will be a bad guy. This also counts as letting Fei Goose help us make money."

As a capitalist, Cook believes that making money is the first priority.

Jobs struggled: "But that penguin in China has removed all software from the shelves, what should I do?"

"Anyway, Penguin is just a Chinese company and has no global impact. The worst we can do is give up on the Chinese market and sell our phones in other countries."

After Cook finished speaking, he said to Jobs: "Don't you still have a backup plan?"

"I have contacted Ohei's think tank. Unfortunately, the president is currently busy with the withdrawal of troops from Iraq. I heard that he will visit China for a while. It is not convenient for Bai Palace to interfere in this kind of business behavior for the time being."

Jobs was very frustrated. Apple is a famous technology company in the United States. Has it fallen to this point now?

But he continued: "Baigong doesn't care, then let's find a way ourselves! You and I will go to Samsung in a while and tell them that if we don't terminate our cooperation with Huawei, we will hand over the order for our chips." To TSMC!”

"Then give it a try."

Although Cook had no objection on the surface, he said in his heart: "Has this disease made Steve confused? Now K-pop wants to import Korean culture into China. As long as Samsung is not bad, it should not do such a thing. "

After thinking about it, he glanced at Jobs, who had thinning hair, and felt very distressed: "It seems like he really should have a good rest."

One day later, Apple COO Cook publicly announced that Apple will not surrender to any company. The iOS system is Apple’s patent, and it is the company’s right to charge for application software! At the same time, they also stated that this charge is not only for Feigo Video, but also for all programs installed under iOS.

As soon as the news came out, Chinese netizens hated tolls and once again scolded Apple for being shameless.

Sales of Apple mobile phones, including their IPADs, computers, and other products, have plummeted in China.

Half a day later, Penguin’s QQ, WeChat, Singularity Reading, QQ Music, and QQ Games were all completely removed from the Apple App Store.

On the same day, the membership recharge price of Fei’e Video on iOS was also increased by two US dollars accordingly.

At the same time, Huawei also announced that the Hongmeng system will charge a 30% handling fee for the recharge of foreign paid software such as Google Translate, as well as games such as "Urban Skyscraper" and "Urban Racing".

This chain reaction caused by Apple's charges has made Apple's reputation plummet even more.

On September 3rd, Apple almost lost its market share in China. The stock price plummeted, and US$160 million was wiped out in just half a day.

At the same time, Fei’e Video also officially submitted an initial public offering (IPO) application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, planning to raise US$50 billion.

Fei'e Video now has five branches around the world, with more than 500 million members including Huaxia, more than 150 million active members every day, and 400 million non-member visitors.

This number, globally, is second only to Google and more than Yahoo.

Therefore, Fei’e Video’s IPO is already the largest technology company IPO transaction in the history of the United States.

Although the Apple charging incident has caused a lot of controversy recently, with the current influence and value of Fei'e Video, as well as the countless genuine film and television copyrights in its hands, the market estimates that the valuation may reach 600 billion to 800 billion US dollars.

After this number was revealed, not only Wall Street was shocked, but the whole of China was rejoiced.

This is China's first multinational Internet company, and it has now surpassed Yahoo and is on par with Google.

If it is really listed at this valuation, based on the shares held by Boss Cao, he will be the richest man in China.

Regarding such news, Apple does not intend to admit defeat. Mobile phones are only part of their business. They also have high-end computers, and they are still invincible in this area.

On September 10th, a private plane left Los Angeles and flew to Seoul. Jobs planned to visit Samsung.

On that day, "Avatar," the most popular movie during this period, was finally released two months after its release.

This movie not only broke the box office record held by "Titanic" for 11 years, but also set a new record of $3.2 billion.

The box office in the Chinese market is also fixed at the terrifying figure of 2.4 billion, and Universal Pictures' 100-piece IMAX giant screen contributed nearly 800 million to this result, becoming the second biggest winner.

The first is naturally the introduction and distributor China Film.

"Honey, we are going on vacation this time. How about I have time to talk to the theater chain here in the United States to see if I can acquire a foreign theater chain?"

Having enjoyed the success of several box-office hits such as "You Are the One", "Despicable Me", "Transformers", and "Avatar", Yang Shuxue has begun to consider expanding the market globally.

Cao Yu hugged Yang Shuxue and sat in the brand new Airbus A340 business jet: "You are very brave."

"It's not that I'm brave, it's mainly that you now have a film and television company in Hollywood. I think acquiring a theater chain will be good for your development in the United States."

Yang Shuxue wants to expand, but also feels that the effect will be better if the film and television companies and theaters cooperate.

"We can talk, the price can't be too high."

Cao Yu remembered that Wanda once acquired a chain of movie theaters called AMC, which cost a total of 26 billion U.S. dollars. After a few years, the theater suffered huge losses and had to cut the meat.

However, he did not want to hurt Yang Shuxue and said his plan: "I have no plans to develop in the United States for a long time. You must be cautious about this matter."

"I see."

Yang Shuxue has been in business for so many years and immediately understood what Cao Yu meant: "Let's find out first. If the price is right, buy it. Huaxia doesn't intend to give up. I plan to double the number of theaters in two years."

Cao Yu nodded: "That's okay."

The next few years will be a blowout period for Chinese films, and domestic development is fundamental.

Yang Shuxue leaned on Cao Yu and touched his cheek: "Honey, when Fei Ge Video is launched, you will be the richest man in China. How do you feel? Do you want to celebrate?"

"The richest man."

Cao Yu was really helpless about this title. No matter how hard he tried to avoid it, he still couldn't avoid it.

But that's it, just be careful in the future.

He touched Yang Shuxue's belly: "Give me a son."

"I don't want to have any more children. If you have so many women, you will definitely have more children in the future. This will save you money in fighting for family property in the future."

Yang Shuxue smiled and said: "When I get really old, I can give you a share of my money and a share of my daughter. You just need to support me."

"Don't say such things. You can at least work for another twenty years. Maybe we can retire together by then."

While the two were chatting, the plane landed in Switzerland.

Just when Cao Yu was about to start his vacation trip with Yang Shuxue, his secretary came in and handed over his phone: "Boss, Jin Guangzhu from FNC called and said there is an emergency, but your phone is turned off."

"I haven't had time to turn it on yet."

Cao Yu took the phone and said, "President Jin, what's the matter?"

"President, something happened. Liu Huaying sprained her foot during a performance more than ten days ago!"

"If it's hurt, it's hurt. It's nothing. Just let him rest."

Liu Huaying was injured, which was the trigger of the troll incident. Cao Yu guessed that SM was about to take action, but he pretended it was just a trivial matter.

"President, you originally planned for Park Hyo Min to go to China to film a movie this month. Now that Liu Hwa Young is injured, the group cannot miss two people to participate in the current activities."

After Jin Yingmin finished speaking, before the boss could speak, he continued: "Park Hyomin had planned to go to China to film, but now he can't go because of this incident, and other people in T-ARA felt that Liu Huaying's injury was strange, so they posted on WeChat Moments and Tweeted that she has weak willpower.”

"Sure enough, it's still the original recipe, and the taste is familiar."

Cao Yu sneered in his heart and asked, "What else?"

"Liu Huaying posted screenshots of these speeches online, saying that six T-ARA seniors targeted her and isolated her. Not only did she have no status in T-ARA, she was also bullied by the old members."

"Can you please come out and clarify that these are all rumors?"

Cao Yu wanted to see if Jin Guangzhu was really a pig.

Sure enough, Jin Guangzhu said: "It's too late. Now some people on the Internet have cut out the video of T-ARA's previous participation in variety shows, saying that Liu Huaying was often bullied in the group, and a trainee broke the news that Liu Huaying and T-ARA didn't live together at all. Together, the members not only isolated Liu Huaying, but also often bullied her. This injury was caused by Liu Huaying's usual lack of food and malnutrition."

"I understand. I'll go back and deal with it in a few days."

Cao Yu originally thought that this matter would need to ferment for a while, and he would finish his vacation with Yang Shuxue first before talking about it.

But Jin Guangzhu continued: "President, many Koreans now feel that Liu Huaying is pitiful. T-ARA's reputation, including the reputation of our company, has been affected. These days, a large number of black fans surround the company every day, giving T-ARA -ARA members threw trash and issued death threats to them. Please come back quickly. If something happens to T-ARA, the company will suffer huge losses."

"Oh?"

Cao Yu never expected that things would develop so quickly: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier? And I didn't hear T-ARA and the others mention it?"

"When it first happened, a few girls wanted to tell you. At that time, I heard that you were busy dealing with Apple. But I thought it was a trivial matter and I could handle it myself, so I didn't let them tell you."

Jin Guangzhu apologized quickly. Now that things have reached this point, he has no choice but to ask his boss for help.

"I see."

Cao Yu snorted and then said, "I'll go back in a week."

Jin Guangzhu was anxious: "President, we can't wait. If we wait any longer, T-ARA will be yelled at and beaten by everyone in Korea. The most taboo thing in Korea now is bullying."

"Stop talking nonsense, the sky won't fall!"

Cao Yu replied impatiently and hung up the phone.

I finally went out with Yang Shuxue and went back as soon as I got off the plane?

When FNC and Jin Guangzhu heard what the president said, they had no choice but to shake their heads: "Is it possible that the president's Fei Ge Video is going to be launched and he no longer looks down on FNC and T-ARA?"
