My Age of Investment

   Chapter 266

  Unsurprisingly, once Google Video was launched, it has been unanimously sought after and loved by netizens, and the user growth has been gratifying.

   Just like when Okut’s social network was first launched, the number of users has skyrocketed.

  When a reporter came to the oil pipeline company on this matter, preparing to interview the operation team of the oil pipeline.

  Tubing accepted an interview from the media for an unprecedented time.

  This makes the media reporters who come to interview very happy, because whether it is YouTube or Facebook, they generally don’t like to be interviewed and are relatively low-key.

  Bring the reporter to the conference room, Xia Jingxing and Alex attended the interview together.

  The reporter is a blond young woman in her thirties. She reveals her amorous feelings with every smile. She smiled and asked Xia Jingxing:

   "Darren, facing Google Video, do you and the Youtube operations team feel pressure?"

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "Yes, to say that there is no pressure at all, that is purely self-deception. However, in my opinion, this is a good thing."

  The female reporter was a little surprised. She did not expect Xia Jingxing to be so honest, and she admitted that she was under pressure.

  She continued to ask along the topic: "What do you mean by the good things?"

  Xia Jingxing said lightly, “The good thing is that the online video industry is more prosperous, and for users, there are more and more choices.

  This has forced our video website, we must improve the website experience and enrich the content..."

  The female reporter felt that these words were a bit hypocritical, too high-sounding, and not topical.

  She tried to lead the topic in other directions, so she asked: “Google has invested 100 million US dollars in copyright content. Does YouTube have any consideration of copyright cooperation, or plan to implement it?”

  Xia Jingxing shook his head, “The tonality of the YouTube platform is that users upload original content themselves. This is the core of our product, and we will not change it.”

  The female reporter continued to ask without reluctance: “Is it because the current size and scale of the tubing is limited and cannot support actions on copyright?”

  Xia Jingxing shook his head repeatedly, pretending to be a defensive look: “Actually, we are not short of money. There are already investment institutions in the market that have given us a valuation of 3 billion U.S. dollars.

  As long as we want to raise funds, we can raise 100 million, 200 million U.S. dollars, or even more in the market at any time.

  I say this, you may not believe it.

  I will take Facebook as an example. Facebook is a website purely for ordinary users. You can upload personal information, make friends, and blog on the website.

  Tubing, we also hope that, every user can share his life through the video, and let more people see it, everyone can leave comments and discuss together..."

  The female reporter nodded and continued to ask: "So, the main direction of Youtube is actually original content and social networking?"

  Xia Jingxing watched the reporter go on the road like this, nodded in agreement: "Yes, YouTube is actually a kind of video socialization, a new type of social networking that is different from text and pictures."

  The female reporter felt that this new Silicon Valley entrepreneurial star was too petty. Google held high and vowed to bring users a brand-new video viewing experience and to move traditional TV online.

  As for Tuan, it seems that I just want to stare at my own one-third of an acre. The video socialization sounds good, but it is actually a branch of a social networking site and a vassal.

  The pattern of this Asian CEO is comparable to Larry Page.

  The female reporter continued to ask questions. The more she asked, the more frowned, because the Asian CEO did not seem to worry about the challenge of Google Video at all.

   "Google Video completely kills the tubing? I don't think it's possible."

  Xia Jingxing said confidently: “Just like a TV station, no matter how well a TV station does, no matter how high the ratings, there is room for other TV stations to survive.

  This is because the audience is different, and the taste of the audience is different.

  The same is true in the field of online video.

  It is impossible for a company to monopolize the entire industry. There must be room for other companies in the same industry. "

  The female reporter frowned, "But there are good and bad TV stations. Good TV stations can cover most of the audience in the United States.

  Some local TV stations can only have a certain local market.

  And the strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak.

  Audience subscribers, excellent presenters, and producers will concentrate on developing better TV stations. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "Yes, this is what we will do next, to find out our own characteristics, and stick to them, to win over our audience."

  The female reporter was a little disappointed. She looked at Alex again and began to question the chief content officer of the tubing.

  Alex has received Xia Jingxing’s advice in advance, so he and the boss will naturally unify the pace and talk about original content and the characteristics of video social networking.

  "The video quality of YouTube is low. Is it possible to become the Achilles heel of the platform?"

  Alex shook his head repeatedly, “I don’t agree with this point of view, but I admit that the quality of YouTube videos is indeed not high.

  Our feature is that the video content is rich and colorful. Many bloggers talk about their lives or shoot videos of traveling around the world...

  This information is not necessarily particularly valuable to many ordinary users, but it is very interesting. "

  Female reporters always feel that these two senior executives of YouTube are a little secretive and not honest enough.

  At first, she thought Xia Jingxing was a little frank, but now her mind has changed.

  Don’t pay attention to the competition of Google Video, and insist that YouTube has its own characteristics.

  This gave her an illusion, as if a beggar despised the mansion of a billionaire, but boasted of the benefits of his “slum”.

  What are the benefits? No one can see it, no one will steal or rob.

  The female reporter hurriedly ended the interview and left.

After    and the others left, Alex smiled and asked the boss: "Darren, what do you think of us after our interview report is published?"

  Xia Jingxing’s mouth popped out an English translation of an idiom: “Sit on the well and watch the sky!”

  Alex's eyes lit up, "This sentence is too vivid."

After laughing, Alex developed a kind of worry. He asked: "Daren, in the eyes of most people, Google Video chooses a much brighter direction than YouTube. Don’t we really make some preparations? ?"

   "What to prepare?"

  Xia Jingxing understands Alex’s concern, but in fact everyone around him has this concern except for himself.

  Alex said lightly: “For example, buying some copyrights, not too much, young people like it enough.”

   "Compared to money, can you compare to Google?"

  Xia Jingxing shrugged and said, "Even if we start large-scale financing now, our strength is far behind Google.

  Instead of jumping into a battlefield that is not dominant, it is better to stick to the position where we have been digging trenches and building fortifications. "

  Alex nodded, “That’s right, but there is no doubt that the direction Google has chosen is much higher than ours.”

   "That's not necessarily true, maybe it's equal, or even we are even better."

  Alex didn't know how to answer this, but the boss had said everything to this point, and he didn't refute it anymore.

   nodded, "Well, then we will do a good job in the current market, and launch the first million video bloggers contest."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "Go to work first, if you can't beat it, you will naturally know it after you have beaten it."

  …………

  …………

  The media reports on interviews with Xia Jingxing and Alex were quickly released.

   Although the female reporter felt that the oil pipe was a little bit small and the structure was not big, she did not add fuel or vinegar or cut out the interview report.

  In spite of this, through interviews and reports, it is possible to read a sense of regret and sympathy of "no disputes, but misfortunes".

  "It has been heard before that Dai Lun, the CEO of Facebook and YouTube, is a very creative and decisive young entrepreneur.

  When I saw each other, I found that I was indeed very young. Because Asians are generally younger, he looks like an eighteen-year-old.

  Dylan is very optimistic about the competition with Google Video and believes that it can stimulate the industry to prosper...

  When I asked whether Tubing would do some copyright purchases, Darren resolutely stated that he would not...

  The video social concept he put forward sounds very good, but it still revolves around "social" services, and the sociality is greater than the video.

  The author believes that online video is an emerging industry that is not weaker than the social field.

  Dylan’s view, of course, brings a lot of fun to Facebook’s social networking, but does it underestimate the potential of video?

  In the fierce business competition, a decision error may cause irreparable losses.

  Let’s wait and see what direction the video war will take! "

  ……

  Because this is Xia Jingxing’s first response to Google’s video competition, the topic is very high. It is not only reprinted by major media, but also circulated on the Internet, where it is read, viewed and commented on by many people.

  Silicon Valley mainstream business elites are somewhat scornful of Xia Jingxing’s remarks.

  In their view, Google Video was just born, just when the foundation was not stable. If YouTube does not take this opportunity to frustrate Google’s conspiracy, it will taste bitter fruit sooner or later.

  Ordinary users are okay, they have little to do with them, just watch the excitement.

  At the same time, many people also applaud the insistence of YouTube, thinking that they insist on their own video characteristics, do not follow the trend, and have a personality!
