Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

Chapter 307: New Year’s Eve Battle, Chat has new features! (Ask for monthly ticket)
Li Yan's expression was a little complicated. That's what happened. Sun Yu was dismissed!

When I got angry, I forgot about it!
Sun Yu felt aggrieved. It was hard enough to be dismissed from his post, but now he was scolded in the middle of the night. It was really miserable:

"Director Li, you can only kill people with a nod, but you have already dismissed me from my position. I was demoted from the president of iQiyi to the head of the development team, leading people to develop 996 every day. Is it appropriate for you to still scold me like this?"

Li Yan: "..."

"Director Li, you should scold Ma Yuanming! He is the current president of iQiyi. The failure of the lawsuit is also his fault, you go to him!"

The corner of Li Yan's mouth twitched, it seemed like this was true.

I just scolded you, how can I apologize?

I, the chairman of Baidu, don’t want to lose face?

He had no choice but to continue: "Is it over if you are dismissed? Will everything be fine?"

"The losses you caused to iQiyi and Baidu exceeded 100 billion. Does it have nothing to do with you?"

Li Yan sighed: "I'll give you 500 million to buy the copyright. You must destroy Xingyi Video and get back the membership!"

"Yes!" Ma Yuanming was in a good mood and finally had money.

"And we at iQiyi don't have any hit dramas that we can produce, so naturally we can't beat Xingyi Video."

"The logic behind it is that if you buy a hit drama, it will become popular, explode, attract members, become bigger and stronger, and the platform will make money!"

"Are you two trying to fix the bug for me from behind?"

Buy the copyright for 500 million, do some random operations, and get some yin and yang contracts, and you can easily squeeze out 50 to 100 million, which is considered a benefit to the company's core executives.

"I can't scold you anymore?"

"Oh? Got an idea? Tell me." Li Yan suppressed the curse words he was about to say.

After that, Li Yan hung up the phone.

Ma Yuanming looked complicated: "..."

Ma Yuanming sighed: "To be honest, Chairman, I have been suffering from insomnia recently, night after night, just thinking about this matter. I really have some ideas."

"You said you just took office, and it has nothing to do with you."

"It has nothing to do with you?" Li Yan's mouth twitched, and he became even more angry: "Sun Yu said that he was dismissed, and it had nothing to do with him."

Li Yan, who was angry and confused, called iQiyi's acting president Ma Yuanming and scolded him!
It's worse than scolding Sun Yu.

Li Yan frowned: "Don't work overtime on those formalisms. It's meaningless. Tell me how to solve it? What ideas and directions do you have! Don't be vain."

"???"

The corner of Sun Yu's mouth twitched, but he couldn't refute: "!!!"

But in the end he held it back because he was afraid of being scolded.

"In the first month of 2012, Xingyi Video launched three hit movies in one go. Naturally, it became bigger and stronger, attracting a large number of members and users."

I really want to say that brothers have no merit but hard work.

The corner of Sun Yu's mouth twitched, and his whole body felt bad.

Ma Yuanming continued: "Xingyi Video's three hit movies, of which "Northern Love" and "Cliff" were both bought from Xinli Media. "Xialan" was also acquired by Ruo Sen. To put it bluntly, Xingyi Video's three hit movies It’s all bought!”

Ma Yuanming was a little embarrassed: "Director Li, you need funds to buy dramas. iQiyi has suffered a serious loss of members recently and cannot make ends meet. There is no money for year-end bonuses..."

"If you can't bear to spend this money, then it's over, it's really over."

The corner of Ma Yuanming's mouth twitched: "..."

Ma Yuanming said eloquently: "Chairman, I have carefully analyzed the reasons for the success of Xingyi Video and the reasons for the failure of iQiyi. They are all the same, and that is whether there are high-quality copyrights and whether there are popular solo dramas!"

Li Yan's face became solemn, but he also knew that what the other party said was reasonable: "Okay, go buy it. Buy the hottest items!"

"So we at iQiyi can do the same thing and buy dramas like crazy, and buy popular solo dramas. As long as there are more hits, it will become popular and we can win back members and users!"

Li Yan continued to curse: "You are trash!"

"Rubbish!"

Li Yan even laughed angrily: "Your performance is so bad, and you still want a year-end bonus?"

Ma Yuanming also felt aggrieved: "Chairman, all those things were done by Sun Yu before I took office. It's really none of my business. I'm wronged!"

He just smoked a dull cigarette and looked out the window at the dark night, as if his career was dark and there was no light in sight.

This night, he had no sleep at all.

"Now you are the president of iQiyi. It is your fault that iQiyi has developed well. If iQiyi does not develop well, it is your fault!"

"Yes, yes, the chairman has taught you a lesson. I will inform all the senior management to work overtime and have a meeting tomorrow!"

"You don't want to find a way to solve the crisis and let iQiyi develop well, but you still complain to me? Is this how you become the president of iQiyi?"

"You should have been removed long ago!"

Li Yan was furious: "Are you still wronged? You are wronged!"

"What we need most right now is to buy more hit dramas and compete with Xingyi Video!"

Li Yan nodded: "That's the truth."

There is no way, iQiyi belongs to Sun Yu. He has just taken over, so he has to express his feelings no matter what to win people's hearts!

A drama's six-year online exclusive rights are 1000 million to 3000 million, and the remaining 4 million is enough to buy 20 dramas. There is no pressure at all.

Ma Yuanming raised the corner of his mouth and said decisively: "Chairman, iQiyi's reputation currently has some negative effects. The most criticized thing among users is that they are reluctant to spend money to buy dramas. Now that we have decided to spend huge sums of money to buy dramas, why not spread the word about it? Bo, this is a hot search. This can restore iQiyi’s reputation and bring some positive impact to Baidu, and maybe the stock price will rise back in the evening!”

'You kid will cause trouble! '

Li Yan's eyes lit up and his face looked much better: "Okay, this is totally fine. I saw the right person!"

"Thank you, Chairman, for your support. I will definitely live up to expectations."

Ma Yuanming said with a smile and decisively started making arrangements.

The next day, New Year's Eve.

After breakfast, Wu Shuang drove Wang Yi and Song Sining straight to Jeju.

After being busy until New Year’s Eve, it’s time to take an annual vacation.

In the car, Wang Yi was playing with his mobile phone and scrolling through hot searches, when he was immediately attracted by a piece of news:
[iQIYI has invested 5 million to purchase dozens of hit single-broadcast dramas to give back to its members and fans! 】

Wang Yi burst into laughter: "iQiyi has finally figured it out. It knows how to grab blockbuster dramas for exclusive broadcast."

Song Sining also nodded: "Yes, it seems that they are also preparing for a big fight, but it seems to be a step too late."

"It's not one step too late, it's one hundred steps too late."

Wang Yixiao said: "Let iQiyi do whatever you want. It won't have much impact on us, but it will have a big impact on Youku and Sohu. Maybe the drama-stealing war will start in advance!"

"Chairman, do you think other platforms will follow suit? Also spend hundreds of millions to grab the copyright?" Song Sining was a little curious.

Wang Yi nodded: "I will definitely follow. As long as I don't want to be eliminated, I will definitely follow."

Sure enough, not long after, Sohu issued a statement:
[In 2012, Sohu spent 6 million to purchase popular independent dramas to create the strongest independent film and television library! 】

Seeing that both iQiyi and Sohu are taking action, Youku, the leading long-form video platform, naturally takes the lead:

[Youku spends 7 million to purchase the hit solo drama, cool 2012! If you want to watch a good drama, go to Youku! 】

For a time, the entire long video platform became lively.

Several giants have entered the game and joined in the drama-stealing battle.

Now, the wealthy Goose Factory could no longer sit still and directly issued a statement:

[In 2012, Tencent Video will invest 10 billion to purchase exclusive broadcast rights! 】

The fewer words, the bigger the matter.

One billion at a time, twice as much as the original iQiyi!
It directly overshadowed iQiyi.

This made Ma Yuanming very angry, but he was helpless.

Tencent is rich and powerful, so what can it do?

Unless Baidu is allowed to invest another 500 million to catch up with Goose Factory.

But unfortunately, this is difficult.

Due to continuous critical attacks by Xingyi Technology, Baidu's market value has been cut in half. It is no longer as good as Tencent, and it cannot be as wealthy.

Ma Yuanming sighed: "I originally wanted to do a good deed and give Baidu some face, but why did it turn into a drama-stealing war? How come all parties joined in and even suppressed iQiyi?"

Now, let alone letting Baidu's stock price rise, it may fall again.

After all, iQiyi ranks at the bottom in terms of investment in buying dramas on major platforms!

The sooner something like this is announced, the worse it will be.

iQiyi was the first to play, one against five, followed by Sohu against six and Youku against seven, all of which were closed.

If that's the case, that's it, there's not much difference.

As a result, Tencent came directly to the A!

The corner of Ma Yuanming's mouth twitched: "If I had known this, it would be better not to be so high-profile. Now that I am at the bottom, Director Li will have to scold me again!"

Looking at these developments, Song Sining was a little worried: "On New Year's Eve, there will be a drama-stealing battle. Will that have an impact on us?"

Wang Yi waved his hand: "We have already collected 2012 high-quality dramas in , and also bought popular dramas. They are crazy about it, and it has no impact on us."

Without him, Wang Yiquan had already bought all the hit dramas in 2012, and the rest were mostly big-production trash with low ratings...

Regardless of whether the other platforms have 5 million, 7 million, or 10 billion, they can only pick and choose from the garbage.

In the end, the money was not spent less, the drama was not good, and in the end, it was just a loss and being scolded at the same time...

"But they have made it official, so we have to take action!" Wang Yi said, sending a message to Ye Changpeng.

Soon, a piece of news shocked the entire Internet.

[In 2012, Xingyi Video has won 20 solo hit dramas and 15 best-selling dramas. A visual feast, all in Xingyi Video! 】

Attached below is the drama title poster and starring information.

"Cliff", "Northern Love", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "The Story of Mufu", "I Am a Special Forces Soldier - Knife Unsheathed", "Dances with Wolves", "Fire Blue Blade", "Spicy Female Soldier"...

Now, the whole network is in shock:
"When iQiyi and Youku were just preparing to buy dramas, Xingyi Video had already acquired more than 20 solo dramas and more than a dozen distributed dramas, which is really impressive."

"Xingyi Video has already mastered the game before others took action. This is strength!"

"I love to watch so many popular solo dramas. Xingyi Video is awesome!"

"It's over. Xingyi Video has won so many solo hits, and there aren't many high-quality dramas left on other platforms."

"Definitely, the selection of dramas depends on the quality. It can be said that the ones with the highest quality are all selected by Xingyi Video, and the rest are picked up by iQiyi, Youku, Sohu, LeTV and other platforms." General, what good drama can there be? Xingyi Video is awesome."

"Yes, Xingyi Video members are the most reliable, and the others are far behind."

"Kai Xingyi Video is definitely worth it. Not only does it have the most popular solo dramas, but it also has H.265 decoding, which is clearer and smoother than other platforms."

……

Without any surprise, Xingyi Video once again attracted a large number of new members by showing off its muscles.

The main source is the lost members from other platforms!
This made iQiyi acting president Ma Yuanming’s mouth twitch:

"Made, let Xingyi Video do it again!"

"We worked hard and finally made a wedding dress for Xingyi Video, and everyone went to Xingyi Video!"

"How abominable!"

Sohu veteran Zhang Yang also frowned slightly: "Director Wang's style of play is too cruel and too arrogant."

"We all buy dramas quarter by quarter, but he is really good. He directly wins the hit drama of the year. It is really ungrateful and excessive."

"Cruel and arrogant!"

The head of Sohu Video had a complicated expression: "If we were so rich, I would do the same!"

Zhang Yang frowned slightly: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can I have so much money to give you such a good deal?"

Most video platforms buy a few movies first, and while they are being broadcast, they use advertising titles to recoup their costs while earning membership fees. When they have money, they continue to buy new dramas, and so on...

Like Xingyi Video, which won more than 30 hit movies more than a year in advance, it really doesn't follow martial ethics.

Looking at the public opinion situation, Song Sining was in a good mood:

"Chairman, other platforms have just announced that they will buy hundreds of millions of dramas, but we have already won hundreds of millions of dramas in advance. This time we are winning!"

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "If you don't predict everything, it will be ruined. If you win this year, it will be hard to say next year."

"What do you mean?" Song Sining was full of curiosity.

Wang Yi spoke eloquently: "The simplest thing is, Si Ning, there are not many dramas left this year. If we compete on so many platforms, what will happen?"

"This will lead to an increase in online copyrights for solo dramas and a skyrocketing price!"

Song Sining suddenly realized: "This year, 6 to million can buy the -year online broadcast copyright of a major production. Now they are all grabbing it, and the price is estimated to rise to to million. Next year, the price will only be more expensive, even catching up with satellite TV The copyright is gone! Then if we buy next year’s drama, the cost will be extremely high. This..."

Wang Yi nodded: "That's it. Damn it, iQiyi, it's just messing around a lot, now it's better, it's raising the copyright price to the sky! The last few major platforms have suffered heavy losses."

Online copyrights are still very cheap at the moment.

For an S-level major production, the satellite TV distribution rights cost one million episodes, while the six-year network exclusive broadcast rights only cost 300,000 per episode.

If Kawaii Qiyi does this, the price will go up.

In the previous life, the price of online copyrights was detonated by major platforms grabbing dramas.

Song Sining frowned slightly: "Yeah, if they had kept a low profile and bought it secretly, it wouldn't have led to such a brutal situation. IQiyi is the black sheep, single-handedly triggering a strong copyright war, and their cost of buying dramas has skyrocketed. Our next year The drama is also affected. What should I do?”

Wang Yi waved his hand: "It's easy to say, if they steal the drama, we will invest in a large number of homemade dramas!"

"Xingyi Video's current self-produced dramas include "Nirvana in Fire" that has already started filming, and the spy drama "Red" and "Red Sorghum" that are about to start filming. In addition, there will be a few more dramas to reserve new dramas for next year. In addition, , let Xingyi Media release the news. If high-quality dramas are short of funds, they can go to Xingyi Media. As long as it is a good project after evaluation, Xingyi Media can invest in it and even buy it out!"

"Okay, Chairman, in this way, we can directly obtain the copyrights of those dramas through investment, so we don't have to join their drama-stealing war."

"Yes, that's it."

Aiyouteng spent money to grab the copyright, Wang Yi directly invested in the producer, and took the route of self-made dramas!
Of course, Wang Yi will personally review the dramas he invests in, and only invests in blockbusters and hot dramas!
It wasn't until they arrived in Jeju that Wang Yi and Song Sining separated and went home.

There are also New Year gifts, which are also given to each other.

Spring View Garden.

The two elders were very excited to see Wang Yi coming back.

Wang Shulin, in particular, looked even more kind: "Xiao Yi, your girlfriend came here yesterday. She is so beautiful and has a good personality. She is really nice. Mom likes it very much. Please take it home with you more in the future!"

"Girlfriend? Lin Shu?" Wang Yi was startled.

Only then did I remember the chat message Lin Shu sent yesterday, "Help me..."

Wang Yi thought something had happened, so he returned after seeing what was going on.

As a result, Lin Shu said: "It's okay, Auntie is very enthusiastic."

Wang Yi was busy holding the annual meeting and didn't think much about it, but unexpectedly, it was Xiao Shu himself who came to the door!

This is interesting.

Wang Shulin nodded repeatedly: "Xiao Shu is so beautiful, better-looking than celebrities. My son has great eyesight!"

Wang Qingzhi was also full of praise: "Not only is he good-looking, but he also has a good personality and a kind heart. I was worried that you would come back late and would not have time to buy us New Year's goods, so I sent a lot of New Year's goods over. You see, I can't even put them down. !”

Wang Yi smiled: "That's not good. I've been busy with the annual meeting recently, and it ended at ten o'clock last night."

"You are busy, we know. Xiao Shu is still considerate." Wang Qingzhi said with a smile: "Your mother was very satisfied. She stayed with Xiao Shu for dinner yesterday and even gave her the ancestral jade bracelet to Xiao Shu. She has chosen this daughter-in-law!"

Wang Yi chuckled and wanted to ask: "Mom, how many ancestral jade bracelets do you have?"

But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

It is a big problem for my son not to find a partner.

Having too many sons is also a big problem.

After having a sumptuous family dinner with his parents, Wang Yi called Lin Shu's phone: "How do you feel about meeting your parents-in-law?"

Lin Shuxiao said: "Uncle and aunt are so enthusiastic and kind. I was very nervous at first, but then I relaxed because of the enthusiasm of uncle and aunt. Hehe, I like it very much. Thank you uncle and aunt for the hospitality."

Wang Yi smiled and replied: "My parents also like you very much. They say you are more beautiful than a celebrity and want you to come here more often in the future!"

"Okay, I will go more often in the future. If you are busy with your career, I will take care of them for you!"

"Okay, thank you Xiao Shu!"

"That's right, brother!"

Listening to Wang Yi's call, Wang Shulin became interested: "Are you calling Xiao Shu? Let her come and play when she has time!"

"Okay, Auntie, I'll go there often when I have time."

……

This New Year’s Eve is destined to be restless.

In the morning, the copyright war between major video platforms had just begun. In the afternoon, the news about Changchao once again shocked the entire Internet.

[Chat version 1.5 is a major update, adding a free video call function and inviting you to video New Year greetings! 】

[Thousands of miles away, let’s enjoy video calls to wish you a Happy New Year! 】

This news once again caused an uproar:

"Awesome, the new version of Chat has added video calling function, I really need it."

"Me too. I have to be on duty this year and can't go back to my hometown. Now I'm fine. I can chat and say New Year's greetings via video. I can also see my parents and express my thoughts."

"I was also affected by work and couldn't return to my hometown. Originally I could only make phone calls. Not to mention the long distance charges were expensive, and I couldn't see anyone. Now it's better. We can chat and make video calls for free, and I can still see my parents."

"The video call is very friendly to us migrant workers."

"I made an appointment with my long-distance girlfriend to have a video call tonight and celebrate the New Year together!"

"Forget it, I just want to chat about the new features. My three girlfriends want to video chat with me on New Year's Eve. What should I do?"

"???"

"Your beauty will be struck by lightning!"

"Should I say it or not, it's great to chat about this new feature. Video New Year greetings are just needed."

“Just tested it, it’s very clear and easy to use, chat on 666!”

"Voice messages, voice-to-text, video calls, local travel, local food, friend circles... Changchao is more and more ahead of WeChat, and Changchao is still reliable."

"That's right, our whole family has given up WeChat and started chatting instead."

"Our classmates and colleagues can also chat freely. It's convenient."

……

As soon as this hot search came out, the number of downloads of Changchao increased rapidly.

Especially workers who work in other places have to stick to their posts on New Year's Eve and cannot go back at all.

One after another, they downloaded and registered to chat, and even asked their parents to register and chat together, and then chatted on video calls.

Although data traffic is expensive, there is wifi at work and at home, so there is no need to worry at all.

Even if you don’t have wifi, it’s okay to use a data package to make a video call. After all, it’s Chinese New Year. The traffic fee is much cheaper than the ticket.

Wang Yi chose New Year’s Eve to launch Chat, using video to pay New Year greetings and promote Chat!
Wait until next year’s Spring Festival to launch the Chat Red Packet, which will become popular again!
The reason why Changchao red envelopes are not promoted this year is because there is not enough time and there are too few Changchao users.

Currently, Changchao has just over 50 million users and Alipay has 400 million users.

If Changchao red envelopes were launched now, the number of Changchao users would not increase much. On the contrary, Alipay would learn from it and make Alipay cheaper.

When the number of Changchao users reaches 100 to 200 million on New Year's Eve next year and the red envelope function is launched, then we won't be afraid of Alipay copying!

In the previous life, during the Spring Festival of 2014, WeChat launched the red envelope function.

Wang Yi launched it during the Spring Festival of 2013, one year in advance, which is enough.

There is no surprise. The video function of Changchat meets the needs of many netizens. Coupled with the hot search, the number of users of Changchat began to increase.

The video function is a necessary function for people who cannot return home, as well as for long-distance couples and lovers.

In one afternoon, the number of Changchat users increased by more than two million, and is still increasing rapidly.

With the help of the genius marketing of video New Year greetings, you will definitely win the game.

But Tencent headquarters is a different story.

All other business units have gone home and are on annual leave.

Only the WeChat business department is still working overtime to complete the WeChat Moments function.

In order to launch the circle of friends function as soon as possible, the entire WeChat business department has lost its annual leave!
Everyone works overtime!

Only in this way can we launch the circle of friends function as soon as possible and catch up and chat freely.

But now it’s better, WeChat’s circle of friends function hasn’t been completed yet, and Changchat has launched free video calls!
