China Entertainment: Return to 2007

Chapter 222 Potato Clause and Youku’s IPO

Suzhou TV is one of the few local TV stations in Taichung, second only to Xiangnan TV.

Special status.

Being able to serve as the director of Jiangsu Province Satellite TV is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

Logically speaking, although "The Legend of Lu Zhen" is very important, for the wealthy Su Province Satellite TV, it is not enough to require such attention from the station director.

But time is also fate,

In the past two years, the ratings of Jiangsu Province Satellite TV have repeatedly declined. Not only are they unable to compete with Hunan Satellite TV, but even Wei Province, Zhejiang Province, Oriental TV and other satellite TVs are higher than it.

Especially Wei Province Satellite TV, which has produced many hit dramas in the past two years, and even organized a Chinese drama festival in conjunction with Enlight.

The scenery is infinite,

This made Suzhou Satellite TV very jealous.

It seems that this year is coming to an end, but until now, the entire Jiangsu Province Satellite TV has not been able to produce a TV series that is enough to be successful in the industry.

The director took a deep breath, spent a lot of money and won the "Legend of Lu Zhen" against all the opinions.

The reason is to give Suzhou Satellite TV a chance.

The director waited until dawn.

"The report to Mr. Gu is absolutely true. It has already been on the news. I have also confirmed with the Magic City Court that Wang Hui is really accused!"

"Yes!"

The next day,

Upon thinking of this, Gu Yongjiang immediately said: "Tell the Propaganda Department to make Wang Hui and Yang Lei's divorce case known to the whole country, and we will not let him get away easily no matter what!"

["Legend of Lu Zhen" explodes in popularity, with ratings exceeding three in one week!

[The online broadcast rights of "Legend of Lu Zhen" were sold, and LeTV bought it at a high price of 50 yuan per episode. The total sales of 45 episodes were 2250 million, setting a record this year! 】

"Yes!"

Tudou has always been a big mountain weighing on Youku’s head.

In the past five years, Tudou has been ahead of Youku in everything due to its first-mover advantage.

General Gu Yong could be described as hating him to the core.

【Excuse me! The premiere of "Legend of Lu Zhen" broke 2! Suzhou TV won the ratings championship for the same time period! 】

Imperial City, Youku headquarters.

When he couldn't stand it anymore and slept until early in the morning,

In the president's office, Gu Yongjiang looked at his assistant excitedly.

Before the lawsuit is settled, he can't even think of going public! "

"The court has just announced that it will freeze the equity of three companies under Wang Wei's name, including 95% of the shares of Modu Quantuo Technology Co., Ltd.

"Tell all departments in Taiwan to concentrate all efforts on promoting "Legend of Lu Zhen", so as not to maintain such a good momentum!"

"How much? Has it broken 1.5?"

Chen Xiao and Zhao Liying are both popular, and their fans are growing rapidly. 】

Now Wang Hui accidentally got involved in the divorce trap, which delayed the process of potato going public.

This undoubtedly gives Youku a God-given opportunity!

"This Wang Hui was so smart that he took a big potato to the edge of a cliff for the sake of a woman.

God helps me! "

This data can definitely be called excellent!

[A-list youngster Chen Xiao and rising star Zhao Liying form the screen CP. Their roles as Gao Zhan and Lu Zhen have been widely praised. "Legend of Lu Zhen" has a high reputation, with a Douban score of 7.8. 】

"So how is the progress of the potato launch?"

.......................................

The director perked up and took the data. He asked and opened it directly.

If you are sick and may kill you, the mall is like a battlefield!

"Is the news true?"

"Director, the data is out."

Just when "Legend of Lu Zhen" became popular,

this day,

An amazing piece of news that stole most of its popularity!

"Hahaha! Okay!" Gu Yongjiang smiled like a child: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that Xu Ge was really powerful. He even thought of this move. Now Wang Hui is finished.

....................................

In the face of doubts, the producer Xu Ge Films said: "The Legend of Lu Zhen" is just a costume romance drama, not a historical drama. 】

【…】

“In addition, we must step up the pace of listing and be sure to successfully list before mid-December!

Youku must become the first video website in Daxia! "

With this drama, Suzhou Satellite TV has finally saved its 10-year reputation.

"Legend of Lu Zhen" debuted at 3, which means that this drama can at least break 4, or even .

["Legend of Lu Zhen" tampering with history? Recently, with the popularity of the costume film "Legend of Lu Zhen" starring Chen Xiao and Zhao Liying, the male and female protagonists Gao Zhan and Lu Zhen were criticized by historians for tampering with history due to excessive beautification!

outside the gate,

Sensing movement,

The waiting secretary immediately sent over the freshly released data.

If potatoes want to go on the market, it will take less than three to five months. It is simply impossible!

The next second, he was refreshed: "Hahaha! It broke 2! Good, good, good!"

Youku’s opportunity has finally arrived! ! ! "

"Yes! Mr. Gu!"

After the assistant left, Gu Yongjiang excitedly poured himself a glass of wine.

While sipping red wine, Gu Yongjiang thought about Xu Ge's suggestion.

It turned out that when Xu Ge proposed to exchange Bilibili shares with Youku, he did not take his words seriously.

However, today, as Station B has gained a foothold in the video website, and Tudou has been successfully blocked by Xu Ge,

Gu Yongjiang knew that this matter could no longer be delayed.

"How about calling Xu Ge? Ask him to come out and chat in person?"

Gu Yongjiang put down his wine glass and was about to take out his mobile phone.

The next second, it was said that Cao Cao was about to arrive, and Xu Ge called.

"Hey, Mr. Xu."

"Mr. Gu, I've already done everything. Now is it time to fulfill my promise?" Xu Ge said directly on the other end of the phone.

"Of course," General Gu Yong couldn't go back on the signed contract. He smiled directly and said: "I have already drawn up the ten percent share swap contract. You can send someone to sign it at any time."

"Chen Rui has officially taken over as the CEO of Station B. I will ask him to come visit you and sign the contract."

"Haha, okay, then I wish our two families a happy cooperation."

"Mr. Gu," seeing that the time had come, Xu Ge asked directly, "Do you want to swallow the potatoes?"

"Mr. Xu, please tell me something. I'm all ears."

"Right now Tudou is in deep trouble, and Youku is the first to go public. It's a sure thing to get the first share of Video." Xu Ge said with a chuckle: "Once Youku succeeds, Tudou will become a laughing stock.

Under this situation, Tudou has a great chance of civil strife. At that time, it will be our opportunity..."

"How do you want to divide it?" Gu Yongjiang showed a fox-like smile.

"I don't want anything else, just Tudou's copyright library."

General Gu Yong: “…”

What is the most valuable thing about a video website?

The first is of course users. In the Internet era, users are everything, and users are naturally the most important asset of video websites.

The second is copyright. The video website has been developed for more than five years.

And with Xu Ge's repeated early intervention, copyright has become more and more important.

All regular websites that are trying to go public have begun to collect copyrights on a large scale.

Xu Ge asked for Tudou's copyright library, which undoubtedly made the lion open his mouth.

Gu Yongjiang is an out-and-out old fox. How could he give up this big piece of fat so easily?

"Mr. Xu, even if Tudou is counterattacked by Youku and becomes the second largest company, its market value will not be less than 15 billion.

It's very difficult to win it.

Don’t know how much your Bilibili can sell? "

Any behavior that ignores effort and gains is just a hooliganism.

If you want to get Tudou’s copyright library, it’s absolutely impossible to just talk in vain!

"Fifty million!"

"What? Only 5000 million?" Gu Yongjiang frowned directly and said: "As far as I know, Tudou has collected more than copyrights in the past two years, including many domestic and foreign classics, and many of them are exclusive copyrights. ,

Even at current prices, the price of these copyrights is over 1 million.

The value will only be higher in the future.

You only offered 5 million. Isn’t that a bit too much? "

"I can make Wang Hui sell potatoes to you at market value within one year!" Xu Ge said with a smile.

"Deal!" Gu Yongjiang replied in seconds.

Xu Ge: "..."

.......................................

【Excuse me! Tudou CEO Wang Wei was sued by his ex-wife for concealing their joint property, and the court froze all their property!

Tudou Nasdaq listing process suspended! 】

[Ex-wife’s counterattack?

As the saying goes, if you don’t do something, you won’t die. Recently, Wang Hui, the famous CEO of Tudou, was sued in court by his ex-wife Yang Lei.

The pause button has been pressed on the launch of Potato, and the future is bleak...

It is reported that the reason for all this is that Wang Wei was too stingy. When they divorced two years ago, they only gave Yang Lei 100,000 yuan in assets!

This leads to today...]

[Potato terms are freshly released!

Wang Wei’s family conflicts have affected the listing of Tudou, the leader of the video website.

Major investment companies took this warning and introduced potato clauses one after another, that is, if the founder of the company gets divorced or gets married before the company goes public, he can only distribute cash to his spouse, but cannot distribute equity to his spouse...]

[Youku has stepped up its pace of listing. Gu Yong has recently flown to New York. Youku said that it is expected to successfully land on Nasdaq in early December! 】

【…】

The emergence of potato clauses has attracted the attention of the entire capital investment community.

Before Wang Hui, there had never been a major divorce case that had such an impact on the company.

At this time, not to mention how much regret Wang Hui felt,

Of course, he didn't regret making false accounts and only gave Yang Lei a mere 10 yuan.

What he regretted was that if he had known this, he would not have accepted the marriage certificate from Yang Lei.

This is so good!

Watching helplessly, the first video stock, which is expected to have a market value of tens of billions, is about to be taken away by Youku!

This is simply worse than killing him!

However, the leak in the house coincided with continuous rain, and things that made him even more uncomfortable came one after another.

"What? Yuanyuan? You want to leave Daxia?! Leave me?!"

In the magic city, in the Wang family villa, at night, after a busy day, Wang Hui, who was troubled by the lawsuit, just returned home.

His beloved beautiful girl, Dancing Queen Tan Yuanyuan, gave him another heavy blow.

"It's not about leaving." On the sofa, avoiding Wang Hui's blood-red eyes, the graceful Tan Yuanyuan chuckled: "As you know, I am a ballet dancer. There happens to be a ballet competition abroad. I want to go and participate. This is only temporary. , don’t think too much…”

“But didn’t you promise me that from now on, you will only develop in Daxia?

Yuanyuan, please don't leave me, okay? I know I can't live without you. "Wang Hui said humbly.

He is not a fool. Of course he knows what it means when Tan Yuanyuan proposes to leave at this time.

Before the potato clause happened, if Tan Yuanyuan had left him, although Wang Hui would be reluctant to leave, he would never be as humble as he is today.

But now he is in a desperate situation, and his psychological defense is close to collapse. The departure of his beloved woman is undoubtedly very unacceptable to him!

"Wang Hui, do you know what they are saying about me now?" Seeing that Wang Hui was unwilling to let go, Tan Yuanyuan could only tell the truth: "They said I was the mistress and Su Daji. Everything happened because of me.

If it weren't for me, Tudou wouldn't be what it is now. "

After a pause, Tan Yuanyuan sighed, and she gently held Wang Hui's hand: "Do you know how much pressure I am under now?

How much criticism have my parents and family received because of me? "

"When things have come to this point, we can't take it back. Let's let it go. At least this way, it will be good for both of us."

Wang Hui: "..."

Wang Hui never expected that the woman he had loved for so long would give him a fatal blow at this most critical moment!

"Let's go, let's go! Let me go!" Wang Hui is a man after all. His blood surged, and he stood up for a rare moment: "Isn't it just to see me in trouble?! I tell you, I, Wang Hui, will not be so easy. Knocked down!

Potatoes will not be defeated so easily!

I can bring Potato from scratch to where I am today, and I can drag it out of the mire again! "

"Good luck to you then."

After Tan Yuanyuan said coldly, she finally let go of Wang Hui's hand.

In Wang Hui's sad eyes, she dragged her already packed luggage,

Disappear outside the gate step by step!

"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Wang Hui laughed angrily. At the end of his laugh, a trace of cruelty appeared in his eyes: "I will never trust any woman again! Yang Lei, Tan Yuanyuan, you two bitches!

You will definitely regret what happened today!

I, Wang Hui, will definitely be able to survive this difficult time! Make a comeback! "

Wang Huineng can definitely be regarded as a momentary hero until he reaches this day.

Seeing that things have come to this point, I know if I don't make a quick decision,

Tudou was really in danger, and he immediately lowered his proud head.

Putting aside all dignity, with the humility he once had, and with full sincerity, he approached Yang Lei alone and took the initiative to seek peace.

No one knows what happened that night, except that soon,

Yang Lei took the initiative to withdraw all lawsuits.

Later, people learned that in addition to putting aside all dignity, Wang Hui gave Yang Lei a full 700 million US dollars...

Although this emergency incident was quickly resolved by Wang Hui, investors' confidence in Tudou was difficult to restore.

Nasdaq is known as the devil's hell. Faced with the potatoes that are riddled with holes, how could greedy managers allow it to be listed so easily?

Although Wang Hui decisively decided to go to Chou Country in person and was prepared to give up a lot of benefits in order to open up the joints again,

But it was too late.

In early December, before his plane officially landed,

A piece of shocking news completely defeated him!

Youku, one step ahead of Tudou, successfully went public!

A few days ahead of the original time and space, under Xu Ge's repeated urging, Gu Yong will actively fly to New York to contact everyone,

at last,

On this day, I led Youku’s senior management to successfully ring the bell!
