Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Chapter 220: Youku Copyright Battle

After dealing with various chores, Qu Li began to prepare for his New Year's Eve speech.

"What is the format of your New Year's Eve speech?" Ning Hao felt amused when he saw Qu Li who asked him to be a volunteer director

"Just a few people taking turns standing on the stage to brag..." Qu Li briefly introduced

"Then you might as well find a director of a TV show."

"Where do I know someone who makes TV?"

"Aren't you good friends with Yang Shi Wang Lifen?"

"Oh, so-so." Of course, Qu Li would like to thank Wang Lifen, the director of "Win in China". Without this big stage to pretend to be bragging, he would have to struggle for several more years.

Knowing that Ning Hao didn't want to be his director, he had to ask Wang Lifen for help. It happened that he was wronged at the annual meeting of the leaders of Chinese women enterprises, so Wang Lifen readily agreed.

"If you had said earlier, I could have arranged for you to be on the TV station."

"Let's forget it. I just want to brag inside the company. I don't know how many people are interested in listening to my nonsense. I won't dare to say it when I get to the TV station."

"You're still afraid of things, I don't believe it."

Qu Li looked hard, this host is not a perch, why don't you believe it?

"Why are you doing such a thing?"

"Are you interviewing me?"

"No, just the communication between friends."

"I think there is a lack of communication in society, such as politicians, scientists, entrepreneurs, those outstanding people in society often only care about things around them, but forget that many ordinary people, even most ordinary employees in the company do not understand this. The economy, technology and society of the times are undergoing changes.

I have been studying in the past few years, and I always have some ideas that I want to share with you, and I hope to get some positive feedback..." Qu Li explained that Chinese culture encourages writing books, and it seems that speeches are not advocated, but the voice And video has a wider dissemination power.

Wang Lifen finally knew that Qu Li was an entrepreneur with ideas, and his thinking was more mature than the "Four Young Masters in Beijing".

Doing a live video broadcast is a simple matter. I originally asked Wang Lifen to ask her for help, but Gao Yushan, who switched from Accenture to Glory, made this job and told him not to find outsiders, so Qu Li and Wang Lifen could only chat after they met.

Speaking of the business leaders' annual meeting, she expressed her apology. These petty actions can't be put on the stage, so they are disgusting.

"You should really socialize more and make more friends."

"I'm still in the startup stage, the company is developing too fast, there are too many things, making friends is not important."

"Well, you have Glory and Jumei, and Shopee was established in the United States. There are indeed too many things. Some people have been the big brother for too long..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, the general is on his way, don't chase the rabbit, if I put my mind on these things, it will delay the company's development."

The two chatted about other things, and Wang Lifen talked about the difficulty of making a show, especially on the big platform of Yangshi, where innovation is getting more and more difficult. This is a bit of Versailles, the chief producer and host of the "Dialogue" program, and she has also participated in the production of many excellent programs of the central style.

Qu Li wanted to talk, but he rarely watched TV, at most he would call the young lady at 101 online, watch Chao Chaoyue's sister cry in different ways, and watch the sisters ride the wind and waves.

"You have been doing serious shows, why don't you try a different taste, such as variety shows?"

"Variety shows are more difficult..." Wang Lifen said about the various restrictions of the central style, unlike local stations, especially Mango hosts who can kneel and lick Hallyu stars.

"I have an idea here that I find very interesting."

"what idea?"

"A music talent show."

"There are many such programs in China, and Optoelectronics has introduced restrictions."

"I think this program has its own characteristics. The current music audition is to select idols, but good music should have a good voice..." Qu Li thought of Zhongying Haosheng, a large-scale crying and inspirational music program

Wang Lifen's eyes lit up, this show is a combination of entertainment and fun...

Seeing that she was interested, Qu Li explained the entire frame structure of Good Voice, as well as some detailed designs.

The most impressive thing is of course the four chairs, the rivalry of the mentors, and the inspirational growth experience of the contestants.

Wang Lifen was swayed by Qu Li's words, and she was quite moved, but this show didn't seem suitable for the central stage.

Qu Li always just set fires and didn't care about other things. Shi Shiran left, but the news that he wanted to give a New Year's Eve speech spread for some reason, and people kept coming to him, such as Youku CEO Gu Yong.

"That video site of yours hasn't closed down yet?" Qu Li joked

"Don't worry, we can persevere till the end." Gu Yong recalled the first time he chatted with Qu Li when he was still a child, now...

"I really just want to entertain myself, talk about some hot spots, and look forward to the future of the industry."

"It just happens to be on Youku. Although you don't invest much money, but..."

"But the video website is a bottomless pit with no end in sight."

"Perseverance to the end will win the future."

"That's true, but you have overlooked many issues. You said that video sites have a license system. How far is it from a strict copyright system?"

"It should be soon. It's not that I don't know the importance of copyright, but I'm really short of money."

"You said that if you take advantage of the cold winter in the industry to lay out copyright in advance, and then initiate a copyright war, can you kill several big competitors?"

"This?" Gu Yong pondered

"I can only say it's theoretically possible, but it would take a lot of money."

"Money is a small problem. It depends on whether you have the determination and courage. The early funding prospects can be provided, but in case the copyright war has no effect..."

"It's impossible to have no effect. If I really want to be able to win the copyrights of most domestic film and television dramas, I am confident that I will become the number one in the domestic video industry..." Gu Yong didn't know if this counted as standing in line

"There is also good news. After more than a year of development, Juyun Technology, a subsidiary of Jumei in Beijin, will test a product after the Spring Festival, which can effectively reduce the operating costs of video websites."

"What product?"

"Similar to Amazon's AWS cloud computing service..."

Although Qu Li didn't realize that Youku could dominate the domestic video sites, it played a key role in boosting the early development of Juyun Technology. Netflix is ​​the largest customer of Amazon's cloud computing, and Kaixin.com. Potential big customers of cloud technology.

Qu Li didn't explain too much. He couldn't explain the technical issues clearly. He asked about Youku's financing. This company has a large number of investment institutions. In July this year, it received 40 million US dollars in financing, of which 10 million US dollars was a technical equipment loan.

With 40 million US dollars, Youku can survive for three years with a loss of 100 million a year, but as an entrepreneur, you can't be so short-sighted. Gu Yong is a courageous person, and he would rather accept an undervaluation and get money.

However, Qu Li has no time for the time being. After the New Year's Eve speech, he will fly to the United States. Vision Investment still has several projects in hand, so Gu Yong can only wait.
