Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 503 Google wants to acquire Tudou

While Guanghui Group was making frequent moves in the domestic market, it did not relax at all in foreign markets.

First, Brilliant UAVs referred to the domestic hype model and began to hype topics such as "drone to send an engagement ring" and "drone aerial photography" on Twitter.What happened to the sleepy pillow was that at this time, a drone enthusiast used the X1 of the Brilliant Drone to break into the White House.

America Online reported: The White House confirmed yesterday that law enforcement agencies found a small drone breaking into the White House on the same day, and the Secret Service is launching a security investigation...

A series of intentional or unintentional publicity and promotion made the Brilliant UAV quickly enter the field of vision of ordinary people in the United States.

As the country with the most developed private aviation industry and market in the world, the United States has many aviation enthusiasts among the people. In addition to playing fixed-wing aircraft, some of these people are more interested in drones.

Considering that the United States is currently the most important market for Glorious drones, the company now has offices in New York and Los Angeles.At the same time, it is also discussing with Amazon about launching the Brilliant drone.

And Brilliant UAVs also started to advertise on Tudou, Meituan and other websites in a timely manner. The number of users calling for inquiries has increased rapidly. It is expected that the sales of Brilliant UAVs will reach a new level.

……

American Electric Power.

"Why is there a drone in this purchase requisition? What do we need a drone for?".

"This is an application submitted by the Ministry of Monitoring, saying it is used to patrol power lines."

"Don't we have helicopters?".

"Yes, but the maintenance cost of the helicopter is too high. The monitoring department has exceeded the budget every year because of this problem, so they changed their mind this year."

"Is this list wrongly written? One hundred drones only applied for a budget of 300 million?".

"I heard that they are planning to buy the Brilliant UAV from China, and $300 million should be enough to buy [-] drones."

"Is that the glorious drone that's been trending on Twitter recently?".

"Yes".

"Let me know when you come back from the purchase, and I will go to see the effect of use."

……

A cafe at MIT.

"Charles, did you see that drone that is so popular on Twitter?".

"Is it the glorious drone that has a promotional video on Tudou?".

"Yes, what's the matter, James".

"Are you interested in us working together to develop drones too? Don't you think drones seem like fun?".

"But didn't we all study aircraft design?".

"What's the relationship? You are studying computer and I am studying mechanical design. That's enough."

"let me consider it".

"What else are you considering? Let's do it, our drone Charles James in the future."

"Okay, let's do it."

……

Grumman.

"Have you heard of the glorious drone?".

"Is that the Brilliant Drone used to deliver ring proposals?".

"In your eyes, is that used to give rings? Don't you think that drone is very distinctive? Haven't you seen that they can be used for aerial photography and patrol?".

"I think the development of UAVs is still dominated by fixed wings. The flight speed of multi-rotors is slow, which cannot be achieved for high-altitude and high-speed shots, and the flight distance is short."

"You can't just see other people's shortcomings. Multi-rotor drones can take off and land vertically. They don't need catapults or launchers to launch. They can hover, fly sideways, and fly upside down. They are small in size, light in weight, and low in noise. Good concealment, suitable for multiple platforms, and multi-space use, why haven’t you seen these advantages?”.

"We at Grumman are mainly engaged in military products. There is no market for multi-rotor UAVs in this area. We can only focus on fixed-wing aircraft."

"Hope you're right."

……

Just when the Brilliance drones began to grab the headlines of the Americans, Twitter and Tudou also entered the eyes of those who cared.To be precise, they have never left in the eyes of caring people, but this time the action is bigger.

……

Google.

"Is the US branch of Tudou.com still unwilling to discuss the acquisition with us?".

"I have met with the person in charge several times, and they said that the headquarters has no intention of selling the business of the US branch, but if we only participate in financing, then we can talk about it."

"How many shares are they willing to sell out?".

"I haven't talked about it specifically, but I don't think it will exceed [-]%. The boss behind Tudou is a very young and far-sighted person. He is very famous in China and has many companies under his umbrella. It is said that Twitter, Meituan and Facebook The major shareholder of the company is him. According to my guess, he will not sell too many shares easily."

"I'm going to Tianchao next week. See if you can make an appointment with Jiang Hui. I want to talk to him in person."

"I'll go get in touch. It shouldn't be a big problem if we just meet and talk."

Google has a soft spot for Tudou because the video site has gradually become the most logged-in application by Internet users.

In the previous life, Google acquired Youtube because Youtube created an exciting and powerful media platform, which coincides with Google's vision.Both companies share similar values, always put users first, and are committed to improving the user experience through innovation.Therefore, Google thinks that itself and Youtube are natural partners, and can provide attractive media entertainment services to users, content owners and advertisers through this cooperation.

To put it bluntly, it means that Google takes a fancy to the attractiveness of video websites to traffic, and indirectly, it takes a fancy to the attractiveness of video websites to advertisers.

In this life, Tudou has done better than Youtube and is more attractive to Google.Although Youtube has also appeared now, it is completely incomparable with the scale of Tudou.com.You must know that the Internet is a world where big fish eats all. If you want to invest in the best companies, you should invest in companies that are number one in the industry.

This is why Google has been obsessed with Tudou.

……

"Mr. Jiang, Google's Page wants to meet you?"

"Ask me to meet? Is he coming to China or am I going to America? What does he want to talk about?" Jiang Hui asked Liao Yundao.

"It is said that Page will come to China next week for business, and wants to meet you in the imperial capital. As for the content of the conversation, it may have something to do with Tudou."

"Google is still coveting Tudou. Last year, it said it would not sell it."

"Mr. Fang has also expressed his views many times, but it is said that Google's attitude has changed. Maybe it is just planning to buy shares now."

"Then let's meet and see what conditions he can offer."

"Okay, then I'll arrange it."

Real gold is not afraid of red furnaces, and the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.Whether it is in the United States or China, Tudou.com is the absolute leader in the market, and it does not worry about running out of funds.
