China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 555 553. Anti-Piracy Association, Mr. Ma is going crazy (two in one)

In China at present, although Fei'e Video stands out, there are actually many video websites.

Tudou, Youku, Kuliu, Liujianfang, LeTV, Sohu, PPTV, etc. can still get a share of the market.

The eldest one was listed on Nasdaq some time ago, and the second one, Tudou, went public today. The bosses of other websites were also present. It was also a grand event for video websites.

At this time, Ma Yun heard that Cao Yu had big news, and she couldn't help but become a little curious.

"Mr. Cao, all the domestic video website bosses are here. Can you just tell me if you have any news?"

"Haha, let's wait, but this matter will definitely help the video website industry."

Cao Yu smiled and shook his head, fearing that the other party would faint immediately after hearing this, but he still deliberately aroused everyone's curiosity.

Hearing what the cunning thief Cao said, Ma Yun was indeed a little hesitant. Today is a good day for her company to go public.
But Gu Yongqiang from Youku on the side heard that it was helpful to the development of the Chinese video website. He came over and said with a smile: "Mr. Cao, it is rare that everyone is here today. It will probably be difficult for everyone to gather together in the future. If you have anything, just tell me Bar."

LeTV boss Jia Yueting also said: "That's right, Mr. Cao, tell me."

Although these people came to celebrate the potato market, everyone actually has Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.

Seeing that the development of the matter was as he thought, Cao Yu finally stopped hiding it and said with a smile: "Actually, I want us video websites to set up an anti-piracy association to jointly resist domestic piracy."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"Sure enough, nothing good happens!"

Ma Yun thought in her heart, but said: "Mr. Cao, this is a good thing, but we should go back to discuss this association."

Nowadays, there are probably only a few domestic video websites that dare to say that they are genuine.

"Yes, what Mr. Ma said makes sense. Today is the day when potatoes are put on the market. We really need to go back and discuss this matter."

Gu Yongqiang also regretted a little. He really didn't expect that Boss Cao would bring up this matter today.

Although the establishment of an anti-piracy association may hit Tudou, he is not immune either. The best solution is to slowly negotiate with Boss Cao after returning home.

"I said I wouldn't tell you, but you insisted that I tell you."

Cao Yu shook his head and smiled: "Since I said it, let's take this opportunity to establish this association. I will be the president of this association. Which of you is in favor and who is against?"

"I"

Everyone hesitated for a moment, unable to express their opinions.

Only LeTV, which had purchased a lot of film and television rights at a bargain price many years ago, was the first to stand up: "Mr. Cao's proposal is very good. I agree with it. I have wanted to do this for a long time."

Although one person came out in favor, the others remained silent.

Combating piracy will harm the interests of many people, especially since several websites are still waiting to be listed.

"Cough cough."

Cao Yu glanced at everyone, then looked at Wang Zhonglei who was watching the excitement, and then coughed lightly.

Wang Zhonglei immediately understood that Mr. Cao was asking him to stand up.

Although he hates Cao Yu, how dare he not listen to this creditor?
He thought for a while and expressed his position: "Foreign countries have always said that China has no copyright awareness, so I think we should have established such an association long ago. I also agree with Mr. Cao's proposal."

"???"

Wang Zhongjun and Ma Yun were startled when they heard this.

Especially Wang Zhongjun, when did his brother's consciousness become so high?
Ma Yun took a look at the time and saw that it was already past nine o'clock. She would ring the bell in a while, and said hurriedly: "Mr. Cao, we should discuss this important matter when we go back."

"Of course, but"

Cao Yu glanced at everyone, and then continued: "However, please everyone, please remove "Slam Dunk", "Dragon Ball" and other Japanese animations from the shelves within three days."

"why is that?"

Although some people immediately expressed dissatisfaction, why did you say it would be removed from the shelves?

The association hasn't been established yet, and you're just giving orders here?
Besides, even if the association is established, everyone will definitely vote for the president. It’s not certain whether you, Boss Cao, can be the president.

Everyone began to whisper among themselves, feeling that Cao Yu was having some wild ideas.

Ma Yun looked at the young man in front of her and hated this thief Cao even more.

The cartoons mentioned by Cao Yu are the main sources of traffic for Tudou. If they are removed from the shelves, Tudou will lose a large number of users and advertisers.

He immediately said: "Mr. Cao, let's wait until we get back to decide this matter. Let's set up the association first and let everyone discuss it slowly."

Others also began to persuade Boss Cao not to do this.

"Mr. Cao, if you remove these videos, everyone will suffer a great loss. This should be discussed again."

"Mr. Cao, the Japanese people don't have any objections to us removing these cartoons. Isn't it necessary?"

"Yes, even if the association is established, we still have to discuss it."

……

Cao Yu was unmoved: "Haha, we can go back and talk about the association's affairs later, but I hope everyone can finish this matter within three days."

"Mr. Cao, is this request too much?"

Ma Yun felt that Cao Yu was here to cause trouble, and she wanted to drive this guy out, her tone already a bit rude.

Don't you just want to make your video website famous? Want the stock price to rise?
If all Japanese animations are removed from the shelves within three days, what will happen to the stock price of Tudou Video?
Others around him began to whisper.

"Does he think he is a broadcaster? So awesome? And he asked everyone to take those animations off the shelves in three days? Just because he was the first to go on the market?"

"Yes, Cao Yu seems to have drifted away after it went on the market."

"He probably feels that since he has gone public, he doesn't want to see other people's platforms become popular and steal his users."

"This guy came here deliberately to cause trouble today. It's so bad, but it's useless."

……

What happened here immediately attracted the attention of others in the exchange. Many Wall Street investors gathered around to see what happened.

Facing everyone's comments and the displeased Ma Yun, Cao Yu smiled lightly and said: "Excessive? Haha..."

With a wave of his hand, the secretary immediately handed over an agreement.

"Mr. Ma, what if I have this? Do you want to buy it or not?"

"what?"

Ma Yun took it and took a look, her expression immediately changed.

It turned out that what Cao Yu took out was the copyright licensing agreement signed between Fei'e Video and Toei Co., Ltd. of Japan.

Based on this, Boss Cao does have the right to ask these people to remove those popular cartoons.

When the others saw Ma Yun's appearance, they all shut up and wanted to know what Cao Yu had taken out.

Ma Yun suppressed the nausea in her heart and asked, "Mr. Cao, when did you sign this thing?"

"Five days ago." Cao Yu smiled and said, "What other problems are there now?"

Ma Yun returned the document to Cao Yu and said two words with difficulty: "No!"

He has seen Cao Thief's operations before. If he doesn't remove these animations, the other party will definitely sue. Then there is no telling how Tudou Video's stock price will drop by then.

"That's good."

Cao Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then smiled at the others: "While everyone is here, I propose that we meet at Yanjing Huanyu Golf Course at two o'clock next Monday afternoon to finalize the matter of the Anti-Piracy Association. Come on."

"Come, definitely come."

Seeing this situation, Sohu and LeTV nodded quickly.

However, the two of them were thinking in their hearts: "Boss Cao is so bad that he made Mr. Ma so angry. Fortunately, what he proposed is indeed good for us."

Youku's Gu Yongqiang and Liu Yan, the owner of Six Rooms, hesitated for a moment and then agreed: "No problem, we will definitely be there."

Only PPTV and PPS glanced at Ma Yun and wanted to see what he had to say.

Ma Yun hated Cao Yu so much at this time that she didn't express her position at all, let alone didn't want to go.

Even if you want to set up some kind of association, you can wait until I go public to discuss it slowly. Today's play is completely aimed at me.

Now, you are against your piracy, and I will not participate!

The main thing is that I don’t want to see Thief Cao again.

At this time, Cao Yu came over and said: "Mr. Ma, I am really not targeting you. I am targeting the domestic piracy trend. Only by suppressing this piracy trend can video websites develop in a healthier way."

"Yes, Mr. Cao is right, he is really far-sighted."

Cao Yu's words almost made Ma Yun faint from anger, but it was hard to object.

The surrounding Wall Street investors also understood what was going on. They all looked at Cao Yu and started talking quietly.

At around nine o'clock, Tudou Video's opening price bidding began. No one bought the original issue price of $12.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck!!!”

Ma Yun was depressed and looked at the screen in the preparation room. She really wanted to go over and beat up the thief Cao.

At half past nine, Ma Yun finally pressed the listing button with a dark face.

Due to what just happened, the market was no longer optimistic about this video website. No one bought the stock price of $12, and the price fell. Only when it finally fell below $10 was the first successful transaction.

Compared with Tudou Video's misfortune, after the New York Stock Exchange opened, Fei'e Video's stock price rose from $51 to $53.

Investors all know who is more promising.

They are both video websites, but the gap is huge.

Watching the stock price of Fei'e Video rising steadily, Wang Zhongjun felt envious and helpless. In the end, I still put my hope in Ma Yun.

I really hope Ma Yun can really fight back.

"Mr. Cao is still awesome!"

LeTV Jia Yueting looked at the transaction curve, came over to congratulate Cao Yu, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Cao, I heard that you have been investing in high technology and also invested in a company that makes cars. Are you interested in investing in smart TVs?" "

"Not interested in."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Cao Yu immediately interrupted him.

Not being fooled into investing by China's richest man, Jia Yueting smiled reluctantly and said: "What a pity. In fact, my project is very promising."

"There is a future? Haha..."

Cao Yu sneered in his heart and said: "There is indeed a future, but I don't have the energy now."

"I heard that you have established an investment company. All you have to do is make Mr. Cao a shareholder, and I will take care of the other things."

"never mind."

Cao Yu still shook his head and changed the subject: "When does Mr. Jia plan to list the company? Is it also on the New York Stock Exchange?"

Jia Yueting looked at the dark-faced Ma Yun, then smiled and said: "Forget it, I'm on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange."

He doesn't dare to go public here. What if Mr. Cao gets angry?
"It's pretty good too."

Cao Yu guessed his thoughts and smiled lightly: "You guys watch, I'll leave first."

Before leaving, he went over and said to Ma Yun: "Mr. Ma, I'm sorry. Actually, I didn't plan to talk about that today. Hey, I'll leave first. Let's see you in China."

"Come on, I don't want to see you!"

Ma Yun is going crazy. You are still saying crazy things. If everyone is a respectable person, I really want to beat you up.

When he saw Cao Yu leaving, he actually understood that if he had such an opportunity, he would not be soft on others. This was a business war.

Although there is no bloody fight, it is still either you die or I die!
"Video websites take time, but Juhuasuan's transaction volume has surpassed Meituan. We must suppress him in this area..."

Ma Yun was just thinking about it when the two bosses of PPTV and PPS came over and said, "Mr. Ma, are you going next Monday?"

Ma Yun shook her head and said, "I don't have time to go. If you want to go, you can go and have a look."

"Then we won't go."

"It's okay not to go."

Ma Yun didn't say anything else. Looking at these two platforms that mainly developed from pirated videos, she suddenly thought: "If Cao Yu really sets up an anti-piracy association, life will definitely be difficult for these two families. When the time comes, they will have no way out. , if I buy them, will the stock price rise?”

After leaving the New York Stock Exchange, Cao Yu returned to China the next day.

Although the song "Those Years" is still played everywhere on the streets, the movie has been released and has grossed a total of 1.3 billion in box office in the three places across the Taiwan Strait. Feiyu Entertainment made more than 500 million from this movie.

"Mr. Cao, it's time for us to fight back, right? The group buying website is now bleeding like a river, and we can't stand it any longer!"

As soon as he returned to the company, Cai Chongxin came to Feiyu Entertainment to find Cao Yu in person.

"What's the rush? Hold on still."

Cao Yu still did not agree to spend money like the others, but said: "Let's move first!"

April 3rd is the 29th day of the second lunar month.

The rumbling sound of firecrackers resounded in the sky in Feiyu Science and Technology Park. Feiyu Group, except the entertainment company, all moved into a brand new building.

Huawei's Ren Zhengfei, Penguin Lu Huateng, Jingdong Liu Qiangdong, BYD Wang Chuanfu, Yang Shuxue and other Cao Yu's friends, as well as Yanjing government officials, all came to attend the relocation ceremony.

The hostesses at this relocation ceremony were all members of the Feiyu Dance Troupe. Everyone was wearing a uniform red cheongsam, which looked particularly eye-catching.

Song Qian, Nazha, Reba and others were also among them. They looked at the majestic building and the boss who was cutting the ribbon with the bosses present, and their expressions were in a trance.

The boss is really getting more and more powerful. I don’t know how much money has been invested in this science and technology park alone.

"He's my man's."

Song Qian and Nazha were both emotional and grateful.

Reba on the side accidentally glanced at Nazha and looked at Cao Yu's eyes full of admiration. She suddenly felt that she was wrong, wrong from the beginning.

I have been trying to please the leader of the dance troupe, Song Qian, for so long, but I haven't gotten any benefits. It seems that I have chosen the wrong direction from the beginning.

"To please the captain, the best I can do is to be a C position in the dance troupe, but if I want to get ahead, I have to please the boss!"

Looking at the boss in the distance, she was a little distracted. Even the captain asked her to bring scissors to the guests, but she didn't hear her. She only reacted after being pushed.

"Reba, what's wrong with you?"

“It’s okay”

Reba stammered, and then thought to herself: "I must take care of the boss first before others realize this."

As she said that, she deliberately pulled her clothes down to expose more skin on her chest, and walked not far from Cao Yu, hoping to be seen by her boss.

But Cao Yu didn't look at her at all. Instead, he kept chatting with a very beautiful real estate owner named Yang.

"I look no worse than Captain Song Qian, why doesn't the boss look at me?"

Reba really couldn't understand Cao Yu's disregard.

After thinking about it for a while, she decided: "If I talk to the boss by myself, he may not pay attention to me. It seems that I am going to drag Captain Song Qian with me to get close to the boss."

Feiyu Technology Park was built by Yang Shuxue. There are nine buildings in total. Five independent companies, Feiyu Technology, Feiyu Video, Feiyu Venture Capital, and Feiyu Meituan, occupy five buildings.

After the ribbon-cutting was completed, Lu Huateng looked at the science and technology park, which was more impressive than his own Penguin Building, and said with a smile: "Brother Cao, there are still four empty buildings. Why not move the entertainment company here as well? Do you have other plans?"

"Not yet, but we are preparing in advance."

Now that Douyin has been designed and produced, Cao Yu plans to wait until 2012 to launch short videos.

The United States took the lead in the emergence of short videos in 2013, and 2014 was the first year of short videos in China. I am one or two years ahead of schedule, and with the traffic of Feigo Video, I should be able to occupy the market soon.

Mainly, after 2013, mobile phones will enter the 4G era.

In addition, there is also a live broadcast.
By then, I don’t know if the four buildings will be enough.

When sending many guests away, Cao Yu stopped BYD's boss Wang Chuanfu.

BYD not only makes cars, but also started out by making mobile phone batteries. It is now China's main supplier of mobile phone batteries.

Cao Yu smiled and said: "Mr. Wang, I heard that you have launched an electric car?"

Wang Chuanfu said: "Actually, they are not electric cars. They are mainly internal combustion engines. They are just equipped with solar panels on the roof of the car. Unfortunately, the effect is not very good. However, some pure electric buses and taxis will be developed next year."

"Mr. Wang is very optimistic about new energy vehicles?"

"Mr. Cao, you don't think very much about this direction. Your new energy vehicle factory in Chang'an, Xijing, has already started construction."

"It is indeed a direction of development."

Cao Yu smiled and continued: "I have an idea. Since new energy vehicles are likely to be a trend, the demand for batteries will be huge in the future. Do you want to develop it here? You take the lead, I will invest, and the research and development will be more Lithium-ion batteries suitable for new energy vehicles.”

"We are already studying this area."

"It's not enough. I think ternary lithium-ion batteries are more stable and we can develop in this area."

"Ternary lithium-ion battery?"

Wang Chuanfu was startled. He didn't expect Boss Cao to understand this?

BYD is now developing lithium iron phosphate batteries. Ternary lithium ions contain more lithium, but the technical requirements are also higher.

Cao Yu also nodded: "Yes, I think this market will be huge in the future. Early research and development will give us an advantage in the future. Tesla's batteries are now made in Japan, and the price and shipping costs are too high."

"This is a good idea and project. How will Boss Cao do it?"

Wang Chuanfu immediately became interested in this project, mainly because he did have technical advantages and could do it.

"Let's invest together to build a factory in Anhui Province. You will provide the technology, and I will provide half of the capital and hold 40% of the shares."

Cao Yu has already made plans. He doesn't need to do this project himself, he can just invest.

Wang Chuanfu smiled and said: "Okay, let's get started!"

After sending all the guests away, Cao Yu looked at the park and smiled in his heart: "When these businesses develop, I can enjoy life with the annual shares."

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Song Qian and Reba walking over.

"Song Qian, why haven't you gone back yet?"

Cao Yu and Reba didn't speak much, but Song Qian was his woman.

Song Qian asked: "Boss, this park is so beautiful. Why don't our entertainment companies move here?"

"If the entertainment company doesn't move, the current location is better. It's close to the city and Nortel."

After Cao Yu finished speaking, seeing that the two of them had no intention of leaving, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Song Qian, aren't you going to star in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"? Why haven't you gone yet?"

"The notice has been sent. I don't have many scenes, and they will only be filmed in the middle of this month."

After Song Qian finished speaking, she smiled and said: "Boss, since the entertainment company won't move here, can we take a photo with you here?"

"group photo?"

Cao Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay."

"Thank you, Mr. Cao."

Before Song Qian could speak, Reba stood beside Cao Yu excitedly, took Cao Yu's arm without any scruples, and pressed her body against Cao Yu's body.
