Rebirth: I Want to Surf

the capital.

Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Early in the morning, the relevant leaders encountered a headache: Penguin reported 99, unfair competition, suppressed its own products, and forced to choose one of the two!

Dream back to the year.

Last year's 3Q war was full of anger and grievances, and the entire network exploded. The officials had to stop the fight to calm down the turmoil... But it happened again this year!

99 and Tencent are both giants, and the department did not dare to neglect it. It quickly researched and found that this matter is very difficult to handle.

First of all, although 99 is an Internet company, it is fighting mobile phones and apps, and it also involves operators such as China Unicom and China Telecom.

The operator's superior is also the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which is managed by a different department/bureau from the Internet.

Moreover, the field of APP belongs to the stage of barbaric land reclamation, and the laws and regulations are not perfect.

Secondly, 99 has no obvious violations of law and discipline. If you say that it competes unfairly and requires strict investigation and trial, it will have to go through legal procedures—unlike 360 ​​and Tencent, which kidnap users and directly smear them in the face.

The department receives similar complaints and reports every year.

In essence, it is two children fighting, and one who can't fight comes to the teacher for comment. The teacher's logic is very simple, no matter what disputes you have, it will be handled as a fight.

In the lightest cases, talk and mediate, and in the most serious cases, they each hit 50 boards and ordered a truce.

This is exactly what Xiao Ma wants. He wants the authorities to stop again and forcibly stop the behavior of Weichat bundling China Unicom and China Telecom—of course, this is the most ideal result.

The relevant leaders held a meeting for half a day, and finally decided: "Let's inquire first, and send a team to the two companies to find out and communicate."

"good!"

So I acted immediately, one group went to Tencent, and the other group went to 99.

Under normal circumstances, the country is very tolerant of large companies, such as Ant Financial and Didi, who committed such a big crime and were not completely killed.

So 99 and Tencent are not a problem at all, and the ideas of the departments are also coordinated, and harmony makes money.

Then, they discovered...

"What? Went to America?!"

The inquiry team arrived at Yingshi Building and wanted to see Yao Yuan, but was told, "Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Yao is not here!"

"When did he leave?"

"The day before yesterday!"

"When are you coming back?"

"That's not certain. The group has been talking about several overseas acquisitions, and they have almost been finalized recently. Yao always goes to the last one to tackle the tough ones, and maybe they have to prepare for the signing ceremony or something."

Tsk!

The investigator was skeptical and asked again: "What about the other relevant persons in charge? I want to meet them."

"WeChat is a project directly managed by Mr. Yao, and all affairs are handled by him and Cheng Wei."

"What about Cheng Wei?"

"Cheng Wei followed to America."

"I warn you, don't be sloppy with me, this is a very serious investigation procedure! If I find any problems, I will deal with them strictly!"

"I know, what I'm telling is the truth... Oh, there is someone who is also responsible for part of the activities, and he is in the company."

"Then ask him to come here, I want to talk to him."

"OK!"

In the inquiry procedure, the top person in charge, the middle level, the backbone, and the grassroots all have to ask. But the department wants to mediate, and the main thing is to talk to Yao Yuan. Yao Yuan is not around, so it doesn't make much sense.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Chao came in unsteadily.

He sat very primly, with his hands between his thighs, his head tucked into his chest, like a quail.

He first introduced himself, saying that he was Mr. Yao's new assistant, Balabala. The investigator asked, "Did you participate in the whole process of the competition between WeChat and WeChat?"

"Participated in most of it."

"What content are you in charge of?"

"It is mainly for publicity and promotion, through some news to enhance the influence of Weichat and attract more users to download."

"For example, tell me in detail."

"It's just a drift bottle and a shake. After it was launched, it became very popular. News broke out all over the place. I magnified it and spread it on the Internet..."

Jiang Chao regained his energy and said excitedly: "For example, a man from Shandong shakes and hits a ladyboy; a man from Chengdu goes on a business trip to Guangzhou, and a fairy jumps on a drift bottle; a woman from Shanghai asks a netizen to meet, and finds that the other party is three people who want to turn off the lights... "

"Stop!"

The investigators frowned and stopped loudly. Looking at Jiang Chao's clear and stupid eyes, they finally realized: 99 was already prepared!

…………

Yao Yuan really went to the United States to sign a contract.

After talking for almost a year, three projects finally landed: Hugelive entered North America, acquired DCP, and bought a building!

Not only him, but also Yu Jiajia, the representative of ICBC who provided the loan, and the official propagandists, a large number of dozens of people.

Of course, he deliberately chose this time.

With the penguin's pissing nature, if you lose the game, you will definitely cry to find the teacher. The teacher doesn't care what micro chat means to you, he just wants to be with you.

So he went out to avoid it, leaving Jiang Chao to pretend to be stupid, and asked Brother Chang from the Ministry of Commerce.

The Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology are not next to each other, but many businesses of the 99 Group are managed by the Ministry of Commerce. Brother Chang has enough reasons to call the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology:

"You don't need to find Yao Yuan specifically for an inquiry program!"

"A $700 million overseas acquisition!"

"In the future, you can watch the live broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards in China, and you can watch our videos in the United States!"

The implication is that Yao Yuan is doing final negotiations in the United States, so don't mess with this shit!

These days, everything is focused on the overall situation.

What is the big picture?

Economy!

With Yao Yuan's stature, if he stays in the United States and doesn't come back, the officials can't say anything. Coupled with Brother Chang's explanation, it would be even more inconvenient to let him go back to China, just to accept an inquiry procedure-it's not Accountant Jia.

That's right!

This is dragging! Brother Xiaoma wanted to make a reconciliation with the official, but Yao Yuan dragged his heels, making the reconciliation impossible.

In the blink of an eye, it was late December, and news broke out one after another:

"After nearly a year of arduous negotiations, the 99 Group and the US DCP have finally reached an agreement and finalized the acquisition of up to 370 million US dollars!

99 Group will own more than 20 copyrights including the Golden Globe Awards, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, American Country Music Awards, and New Year's Countdown Gala.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association expressed its appreciation and believed that the Golden Globe Awards will usher in a new era! "

"Hugelive, the video platform under Golden Harvest, has passed the policy approval of the United States and Canada, and has made preparations, and will be officially launched on Christmas!

Hugelive has tens of thousands of Chinese movies, more than 100,000 episodes of Chinese TV dramas, 5,000 English and Japanese and Korean movie copyrights, and will closely cooperate with 99 Entertainment and Logue Pictures to produce high-quality works for the world! "

"The 99 Group bought a real estate in Silicon Valley and leased two buildings in a prime location in Los Angeles as Hugelive's North American headquarters. The total price is about 320 million US dollars, which will provide at least 1,000 jobs."

"Hugelive's first self-produced American drama "Black Robe Pickets" is expected to be launched early next year!"

From the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Yao Yuan used a series of news to turn his bragging into reality. Domestic movie fans rejoiced and shouted, "Master Yao is here, and there will be a blue sky! China Entertainment can be saved!"

It's not over yet.

Yao Yuan spent more than half a month in the United States, and finally sent a message on purpose, full of ceremony, and gave Xiao Ma a big gift:

"As of December 22, the number of Weichat users has reached 50 million!"

(besides……)
