Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

Chapter 299 Resource replacement? Cut off the land and pay for the money!
Lin Dong quickly climbed from a small manager to a vice president. It would be unrealistic if he followed the rules completely.

These days, people who really follow the rules can't climb up at all, let alone climb so fast!
Even if there are very few outstanding people, they are at least nine good and one evil.

Now that the police came to the door and took Lin Dong away directly, it was most likely that the incident was revealed and something went wrong.

Lin Dong's wife, Hong Yan, felt a little thump in her heart and couldn't help but think a lot:
'Should we contact Dong Ge's superiors and ask Sun Dong to take action on this matter? '

'But if it is Sun Dong who wants to investigate Brother Dong, then if I contact him again, won't it add fuel to the fire? '

'No, you can't be impulsive about this. It's better to wait and see what happens. '

'Well, that's the safest way. '

'Maybe Brother Dong will be back tomorrow morning! '

That night, Hong Yan coaxed the child to sleep for a long time, but she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

The things I have experienced over the years began to flash through my mind.

She and Lin Dong were college classmates. They were just ordinary classmates at first. After graduation, they both stayed in Beipiao, the imperial capital.

One can imagine the hardships of Beidiao. The two of them were classmates, so they simply helped and supported each other. As time went by, they came together.

Later they got engaged and got married, and the two were considered happy and sweet.

People born after 75 do not need to buy a house or a car to get married, and the betrothal gifts are only formal and very few.

But life in the imperial capital is too stressful and housing prices are too high.

Both of them are migrant workers and cannot afford to buy a house in Di.

After having children, life becomes even more difficult, and schooling in the future is also a problem.

Lin Dong just wanted to go back to his hometown, to the small town, and live peacefully.

They were two college students born in the 75s. They were at the bottom of the imperial capital, but they were considered talents when they returned to their hometown. It was not difficult to find a good job in that era.

But Hong Yan's heart was as high as the sky, she didn't want to give up the prosperity of the imperial capital, and she still thought of a bright future, so she insisted on staying.

For this reason, the two often quarreled. At first they were restrained, but gradually they said everything.

Hong Yan knew that she was not a strong woman, so she urged Lin Dong crazily, whipped Lin Dong, and even forced Lin Dong.

Whenever Lin Dong's performance didn't go well, his income didn't increase, and he didn't get his bonus, she would crazily insult Lin Dong, saying that Lin Dong was a loser and had no future, and that she was blind before marrying Lin Dong...

Under this pressure, Lin Dong began to work hard for his career. In order to make more money, he jumped to Baidu.

For the sake of performance, they go to extreme lengths.

When people's bottom line is gone, performance will be achieved, even if it is not glorious.

In just a few years, Lin Dong became a small supervisor with his outstanding performance.

Then he seized the opportunity and entered the iQiyi business department, which was just starting up, and became a small manager.

Coupled with Lin Dong's ruthless methods and his use of everything, his performance is very remarkable.

For example, if he couldn't prevent theft, he would collude with pirated websites, crazily pirate the hit TV series of his friends, and hit them hard!

In addition, iQiyi has just started and has not yet become big. Lin Dong quickly became the vice president due to his outstanding performance.

The income has increased, a house has been bought, and life has improved, but the relationship between the two has faded.

Lin Dong began to stay away from home at night, and even when he came back, he smelled of other women's perfume.

Hong Yan was very angry about this and made several quarrels.

At first, Lin Dong coaxed her, explaining that she was just socializing and would buy gifts to comfort her.

Later, Lin Dong was too lazy to explain and even scolded Hong Yan, saying he would divorce her if she continued to be suspicious!

At this time, Hong Yan was dumbfounded and did not dare to say anything.

The gap between the two sides is getting wider and wider. The status of a vice president and a clerk has long been unequal.

More importantly, she can't let go of her current prosperous life.

If the trouble really continues, she will be divorced and she will be four years old. Her children will be a problem, and the rest of her life will also be a problem.

As the vice president, it would be easy for Lin Dong to find a girl in her twenties.

Even her best friend, who had been urging her to divorce, wanted to get a higher position.

In addition, Lin Dong's income is quite high and he is generous with his money.

After some weighing, Hong Yan chose to turn a blind eye and make do with it.

She also understands some things.

A high income, status, and a loyal and good man, there is a high probability that you can only choose one or the other.

If you want high income and status, but also want to stay the same, that's too rare.

Unexpectedly, even after compromising to this point, something happened to Lin Dong.

Hong Yan didn't really care what happened to Lin Dong. In other words, what she cares about is not Lin Dong, but Lin Dong's income!
If nothing happens to Lin Dong, he can earn enough money to send his children to private schools, pay off the mortgage in Imperial City, and buy her LV bags and Chanel perfume.

Once something happens to Lin Dong, my salary will not be enough to pay for the tuition of a private kindergarten, not to mention the food and clothing in the imperial capital!
"God bless and keep Brother Dong safe and sound." Hong Yan prayed devoutly.

But unfortunately, this is destined to be a luxury hope.

Lin Dong didn't come back all night.

The next day she went to the police station to inquire and learned that Lin Dong was suspected of commercial crimes and was under criminal detention.

Hong Yan's body was unstable and she felt like the sky was falling.

Commercial crimes, criminal detention, and at least a few years of jail time.

The vice president's job and income have completely come to an end.

It's all over!

When I saw Lin Dong again through the viewing window, he looked completely different.

In just one night, the previous high spirits were gone, leaving only sadness and decadence.

Looking at his married wife, Lin Dong's voice trembled: "Yan'er, I..."

But as soon as the wife opposite opened her mouth, she blamed her: "You're confused! You're confused! If you don't work hard in the position of vice president, why do you need to commit commercial crimes? Is it okay now? The job is lost, the high salary is gone, and everyone has to go in!" Confused, so confused!”

"???" Lin Dong looked stunned. Unexpectedly, at this time, his wife not only did not comfort him, but also blamed him!
He even intensified his insults: "Asshole, you are irresponsible. You have committed commercial crimes. What should I do? What should we do with our children? She will be affected even if she takes the public exam in the future!"

"You are such a bastard and irresponsible."

"Trash, so irresponsible!"

"Coward!"

Lin Dong was stunned by the scolding, and then became furious: "Am I irresponsible? Am I a bastard? You are the bastard!"

"Accusing me of commercial crimes? If it weren't for commercial crimes, how could I have climbed so fast? Could I have become the vice president?"

"I..." Hong Yan was speechless for a moment, speechless.

After working for many years, she knew more or less about these things, so she had to say harshly: "But you can't commit a crime either!"

Lin Dong smiled: "Can't commit a crime? If you hadn't called me a waste every day and called me a loser, would I have committed a commercial crime just to get a promotion and a raise?"

"I……"

"If I hadn't committed a commercial crime, would I have become the vice president?"

"I……"

"If I hadn't committed commercial crimes, would our family be able to afford a house? Can our children afford private kindergarten? Can you afford LV, Chanel, and La Mer?"

"I……"

Hong Yan's face turned red, but she couldn't refute.

Lin Dong sighed longly: "I was imprisoned last night. I was worried about whether your life would be bad in the future, and I was thinking about how to make your mother and daughter's life better. Until you have no conscience. You blamed me and scolded me, and then I suddenly realized that I owe everything to you today!”

"Do you think I want to take kickbacks and take bribes?"

"Do you think I want to take risks and commit commercial crimes?"

"You think I don't want to live peacefully?"

"But you didn't agree. You said I was a loser and that I was worthless!"

"My whole life, I have been forced to the road of no return by your useless words!"

"Brother Dong, I..." Hong Yan's face turned red, her expression extremely complicated, and then she figured everything out.

"Hong Yan! Anyone can accuse me of commercial crimes, and anyone can scold me for having no bottom line and no integrity. But you can't, you don't deserve it!"

"Police, I don't want to see her again."

As he said this, Lin Dong closed his eyes and felt tired.

"Brother Dong, I...I..." Hong Yan said tremblingly, but Lin Dong opposite him ignored him.

As for his wife and children, he doesn't care!
That's been it for his whole life.

He even made up his mind to explain everything in one moment and try to get a reduced sentence and spend a few less years in prison.

For the rest of your life, live only for yourself.

And my daughter, if you are still willing to accept her...

Xingyi Technology.

A high-level meeting was held.

Wang Yi looked at Ye Changpeng: "Mr. Ye, first tell me about the piracy of the hit drama."

"Okay, Chairman." Ye Changpeng said softly:

"Due to the rapid action of the police, the piracy gang was controlled by the police before all of "The Cliff" was uploaded, and all pirated resources were quickly deleted. However, the ones that had been uploaded were still downloaded by some users and spread to a small extent on the Internet."

"Among them, the first six episodes of "Bei Ai", the first eight episodes of "Xia Lan", and the first five episodes of "Cliff" were all circulated on the Internet in a small scale!"

Wang Yi nodded: "Fortunately, the overall number of exposed episodes is not large, and the loss is limited. Especially "Cliff" has aired 18 episodes. If all of them were exposed, the loss would be too great. Now that it is partially exposed, the impact is limited. Those People who have watched the first few episodes can’t watch later episodes, so they can only sign up for membership, which is also a way to attract traffic.”

"The chairman is wise, the membership growth rate is much higher today."

Ye Changpeng said: "In addition, the police also responded with news. The piracy gang was wiped out and all were accounted for. They also said that Lin Dong, the vice president of iQiyi, gave them money to physically steal the records. Now they have also been arrested!"

"???" Wang Yi was very surprised: "Is it iQiyi again?"

"Giving money to pirates and asking them to physically steal our resources? Made, this kid knows how to play! He's a talent!"

"It's just that iQiyi is like a fly, constantly seeking death, and it's an eyesore."

Wang Yi banged on the table, lost in thought: "By the way, when will the trial for suing iQiyi for copyright infringement start?"

"Chairman, there is no news yet. I will urge the court."

"Well, hurry up as soon as possible. It's best to hold court before the end of the year, even on the 28th or 29th of the twelfth lunar month!" Wang Yi said with a smile: "If iQiyi is so desperate, then don't let it have a good New Year!"

After hearing this, all the senior executives nodded:
"Chairman Yingming, once the court is held two years ago and iQiyi loses the case, this matter will definitely become a hot search. Just in time for the New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year, Baidu's stock price collapsed. It's fun to think about it. I'm afraid Li Yan will not be able to do it this year. Not having a good time."

"Yes, this move is not very harmful, but it is extremely insulting!"

"iQiyi keeps trying to cause trouble for us, and we also make it difficult for them to have a difficult year!"

Ye Changpeng changed the topic: "By the way, Chairman, two satellite TV stations have contacted us and want to buy the copyright of "Northern Ireland", and the price has reached 50 per episode!"

Wang Yisi thought: "50 an episode. In 2008, the price of a hit drama was 60. Last year, it was 95. This year, it will be at least 110 million! Although our Northern Ireland already has a satellite TV broadcasting for four days, But it’s still one round, or 1.5 rounds. The price is a bit better. Instead of 110 million, per episode is too little.”

"Okay, Chairman, I'll talk to them again."

Wang Yi nodded: "The police are expected to make an announcement today. By then, "Northern Ireland" will be a hot search, and the popularity will be even higher, which will make it easier to negotiate the price."

"Yes!"

"By the way, how are you preparing for the variety show?"

Ye Changpeng handed over a document: "The planning document is almost complete, and directors who are good at variety shows are also being contacted." "Okay, let's push forward as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yi's cell phone lit up. It was Song Sining calling.

"You continue to hold meetings and promote the variety show and the production of new animations as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Wang Yi stood up and left the conference room, answering Song Sining's call:
"Chairman, the endorsement for the next season of "If You Are the One" has been negotiated. There are two options. The first option is to sponsor a season for three months, starting from April to June. The naming fee is 60 million."

Wang Yi was a little surprised: "Sixty million for three months? 2.4 million a year, more expensive than "Quick Book"!"

Song Sining nodded: "That's right, the current ratings of "If You Are the One" are higher than those of "Kuaiben", and it airs two episodes a week, twice as many as "Kuaiben"."

"I see." Wang Yi had forgotten this moment: "What about option two?"

"Option two is a one-time naming fee for the remaining three quarters, starting from April to the end of December this year, with a naming fee of 1.5 million."

"Okay, I'll give you the title until the end of the year, 1.5 million." Wang Yi said boldly.

Higher ratings, higher exposure, totally fine.

Wang Yi remembers that in his previous life in 2013, BBK became popular by sponsoring "If You Are the One".

This year, there are two major variety shows named "Kuaiben" + "If You Are the One". Whether it is xphone 1 or xphone 1pro, it can be a complete sell-out!
1.5 million is definitely a bargain.

"By the way, Sining, let me ask Su Province, will the title of "If You Are the One" be sold next year? If it is sold, it will be about 2.5 million, so just take it!"

"Okay, then I will strive for 4 million and directly win the title of satellite TV for seven seasons and 21 months!"

"Well, there is also the online copyright of "If You Are the One". We also introduced Xingyi Video and discussed the copyright fee. This kind of distributed variety show is not expensive."

"it is good!"

At noon, Wang Yi received a call from Song Sining again:

"Chairman, it's settled. We have won the exclusive naming fee for "If You Are the One" for 7 months and 21 quarters this year and next, a total of 3.8 million!"

"Okay, Sining, you still spent 20 million less!"

Wang Yi's budget was 3.8 million, but he didn't expect it to be completed with million.

"If you can save money, save it. In addition, the distribution rights of "If You Are the One" this year have been negotiated, and the market price is five million."

"The price is not expensive. In this era when online copyrights are not valuable, it is really good!"

Wang Yi couldn't help feeling that the market has been so good in the past two years.

Internet platforms have just begun to explode, and Internet copyrights are not valuable.

It will be expensive if possible. Next year the online exclusive broadcast copyright will reach 100 million level.

For example, the first season of "The Voice" this year was distributed on several major platforms. The copyright fee for one company was only one million, and the total was only a few million.

Because of the popularity of the first season, the copyright fee for the second season next year will be high and it will no longer be distributed.

Sohu won the exclusive Internet copyright and spent hundreds of millions.

At present, "If You Are the One" has become popular, so the distribution royalties are 5 million per family.

You can take advantage of the low price to win the exclusive online broadcast rights next year, and the naming fees and advertising revenue of the optical network platform will be able to recoup your investment.

Thinking of this, Wang Yi said again: "Sining, let's talk about next year's copyright. We are willing to pay 40 million to win the exclusive online broadcast copyright of "If You Are the One" next year. Of course, if it is 100 million, we will win the Ming Hou Two years of exclusive online broadcast rights would be even better.”

"This..." Song Sining suddenly grasped the key: "Chairman, what do you mean, the copyright of variety shows will also skyrocket in the next year?"

Wang Yi nodded: "That's right, not only the copyrights for variety shows, but also the copyrights for TV series and movies will skyrocket in the future! Skyrocketing tenfold!"

Take "If You Are the One" for example. This year, one distributor earned 5 million. Even if four platforms bought it, it would only be 20 million.

Wang Yi offered 40 million to win the copyright for next year, which is equivalent to double the premium, and has a high chance of success.

60 million won the copyright for the year after next, which is three times more than this year, and there is hope.

After all, no one could have imagined that the copyright fee would not rise two or three times next year, but would rise eight or ten times!
"Okay, Chairman, I'll talk to the other party again."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's all as it should be."

A program like "If You Are the One" is difficult to copy, but the ratings were too high, so Wang Yi could only buy the copyright.

As for the copyright of "The Voice", Wang Yi originally didn't plan to buy it, but they were too cheap.

You can buy the distribution rights for 100 million, and it’s totally free.

Or buying the exclusive online broadcast rights for five million would not be a big problem.

It's only the first season, not worth the money.

As for the copyright fee rising to 100 million next year, that will not be considered.

Then use "The Masked Singer" to hit them and reduce the dimensionality.

You can also launch Xingyi Media's own talent show and variety show, and invite several big names to be judges, such as the Four Heavenly Kings, and form three teams. Once a high-quality singer is found, you can directly sign a contract to debut, and you won't have to worry about selling out!
After two hours of negotiation, Song Sining called Wang Yi again:

"Chairman, we've been talking for two hours and we're almost done, but the price can't be lowered. Next year's exclusive online copyright will be 4000 million, but the total next year and next year will have to be 1.2 million! No matter how much we lower it, we can't lower it."

Wang Yi nodded: "1.2 million is 1.2 million. This price is right. Let's sign the contract. The liquidated damages should be higher, say million!"

"Okay, Chairman." Song Sining responded.

Wang Yi is in a good mood. The exclusive online broadcast rights of "If You Are the One" next year are only 1.2 million, with an average of 6000 million per year!
A good deal, a very good deal!
Next year, the exclusive online broadcast copyright of "The Voice" will be worth 2 million. The number of episodes of "If You Are the One" will be ten times that of The Voice. The market value of the exclusive online broadcast copyright will be at least million.

Three to four hundred million the year after next!

Now that Wang Yi has won 1.2 million for two years, it is definitely a bargain.

Just the naming fee for "If You Are the One" can earn back this money.

Not to mention other advertising and new member income?

Xingyi Video has sponsored Suzhou TV's "If You Are the One", and all the titles and advertisements for "If You Are the One" on Xingyi Video will be sold!
Without him, most of the viewers of Xingyi Video are fans of Xingyi Technology. They are familiar with Xingyi Technology's products, so advertising will have little effect. It is better to sell to other brands, make money, and advertise on other satellite TVs.

From now on, Xingyi's videos will not lack exposure on the Internet, but on satellite TV.

iQiyi headquarters.

Sun Yu's head was as big as a bucket: "Lin Dong, this idiot, was caught! Idiot, what a fool!"

"All the piracy platforms I looked for were taken away. They are rubbish, they are really rubbish!"

"A bunch of trash!"

"It's all right now? Xingyi Video only pirated part of the three hit dramas, and Lin Dong is in jail!"

"It's so funny, so funny!"

"I guess Wang Yi is laughing his head off now, and even other business partners are laughing at iQiyi and me!"

“We have become an industry joke!”

Another vice president, Ma Yuanming, frowned slightly: "Chairman, it doesn't matter if you joke in the industry. I'm afraid that because of this matter, our iQiyi will be implicated. Even the parent company Baidu will be implicated. If we let it happen again Baidu's stock price plummeted, we..."

Sun Yu's face became solemn: "You are right, this is the most troublesome thing. Currently, iQiyi has enough negative impacts, including copyright infringement and unfair competition. Now it is exposed that it colludes with piracy platforms , piracy of new dramas from friends will be a big problem, and it will even have a serious negative impact on Baidu.”

"If Baidu loses tens of billions due to this, Director Li can beat me to death!"

"No, it must not be like this!"

"We have to find a way to cut it as soon as possible!"

Sun Yu was anxious: "Find a way to inform Lin Dong and ask him to keep silent and never involve iQiyi. Otherwise, his family and children, hum!"

"I understand, I'll make the arrangements right away and there will never be any problems." Ma Yuanming nodded.

Sun Yu was still worried: "Lin Dong has a wife and children. This is his weakness. I am not afraid that he will not obey. I am afraid that Lin Dong will bear everything on his own, but Xingyi Technology will cause trouble! There is also prosecution Our piracy case is about to go to court.”

"This is a big problem." Ma Yuanming frowned slightly: "Chairman, do you think it is possible to reconcile privately?"

"Private reconciliation?" Sun Yu raised his head, with no fluctuations in his eyes.

Ma Yuanming nodded: "Yes, we will pay a fee and settle privately with Xingyi Technology. This matter will not involve our iQiyi. Copyright matters can also be paid through compensation. If it is kept private, there is no need to go to court. This can minimize the negative impact on iQiyi and Baidu, but it will cost them a lot of money, estimated to be tens of millions. "

Sun Yu sighed: "Ten million doesn't matter, the key is whether Xingyi Technology accepts it or not!"

"If the other party accepts it, let alone tens of millions, even if it is hundreds of millions, we will accept it."

"After all, if this matter breaks out, it will have a negative impact of more than 100 million on iQiyi and Baidu!"

"I'm afraid Wang Yi won't agree."

Ma Yuanming nodded: "Oh! This is indeed a problem, but you have to give it a try. There is no better way now, right?"

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Go with sincerity. It would be best if you can resolve it privately. At worst, you can pay more money, or even replace some resources. For example, we can make our iQiyi's solo hit drama, or even a hit show Variety shows, junk dramas on Xingyi Video, on the surface it looks like a one-to-one exchange of resources, but in fact they are making a lot of money.”

"I understand!"

Ma Yuanming's eyes lit up and he understood that this decent way was the best solution.

Variety shows, in particular, are exactly what Xingyi Technology needs most right now!

Currently, Youku, iQiyi, Sohu, and Xingyi Video all have some exclusive and popular resources.

Such popular resources will generally not be exchanged with friends unless absolutely necessary.

"Go!"

An hour later, Wang Yi received a report from Ye Changpeng: "Chairman, Ma Yuanming, Vice President of iQiyi, is here and said he has something important to discuss with you."

"Vice president of iQiyi?" Wang Yi smiled: "Changpeng, go and talk."

"Okay, Chairman." Ye Changpeng responded.

Watching Ye Changpeng leave, Jian Ziyan couldn't help but said: "The vice president of iQiyi is here at this time. Is it possible that he is negotiating? Or is he asking for peace?"

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "I guess it's a loss of land and money! Now iQiyi is being manipulated by us."

"Chairman, do we accept it?" Jian Ziyan was full of curiosity.

Wang Yi did not answer directly, but asked: "Guess how they will compensate?"

Jian Ziyan thought for a while: "Compensate directly? But there must be a name, such as infringing the copyright of Xingyi Video, and paying damages and copyright fees. But this amount of money should not be enough, and we are not short of this money!"

Wang Yi nodded: "Continue."

"So they will come up with something that we need right now but don't have, like a hit drama!"

"No, we have bought so many popular solo dramas. In January, the ratings ranked first, followed by "Northern Love" and "The Cliff" which were second. They are all our popular dramas. There is no shortage of dramas."

"But we are short of variety shows! I guess they will come up with iQiyi's homemade variety show "Entertainment Turns Back"? "Don't Stop the Music"? "Romantic Car"? Or "Convince People with Virtue" in collaboration with Deyun Society?"

Wang Yi nodded: "You guessed it right, 80% of them are using their solo variety show to seek peace."

"Then do we agree?"

Wang Yi smiled: "Variety shows, we will not be short of them in the future."

Sure enough, not long after, Ye Changpeng came over: "Chairman, iQiyi hopes to turn enemies into friends with Xingyi Video and exchange resources. Use their popular variety show "Conquering People with Morality" and online "Entertainment Menghuihui", which has over 100 episodes and the average traffic of a single episode exceeds one million, will replace our "Cliff"."

Wang Yi smiled: "Changpeng, what do you think about this?"

Ye Changpeng thought for a while: "Although "Cliff" is a hit drama, it only has forty episodes, and 18 episodes have been broadcast. It will be finished in ten days, and the popularity will only last for a month at most. But iQiyi's There are two popular variety shows, one is released once a week and the other is about to be launched. The popularity, traffic and value of any one of them are higher than "Cliff". From a value perspective, we have made a lot of money."

Ye Changpeng understood clearly that it was not that "Cliff" was not good enough, but a TV series that had been popular for a month or two was really incomparable to a variety show that had been popular for a whole year. They were not on the same dimension.

Wang Yi shook his head: "In terms of value, we made a lot of money. In terms of strategy, we lost a lot. We refused to cooperate!"

"Yes!" Ye Changpeng responded.

Upon receiving the news of rejection, Ma Yuanming was in disbelief: "Mr. Ye, our sincerity is high enough, how could Director Wang refuse?"

Ye Changpeng waved his hand: "I don't know, I can't help."

But he sighed in his heart: "Your sincerity is high enough, but Director Wang doesn't like it. iQiyi is in big trouble!"
