Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"Brother, are you okay?"

"Senior brother, senior brother?"

After a while, Chen Ping seemed to wake up a little.

After looking at Xiao Linzi in front of him and then at Alia, Chen Ping said, "It's great that you are not dead."

"Senior brother..."

The two couldn't help laughing: "Brother, of course we are not dead. We were filming before."

Portal websites can naturally be subverted using this model.

The most classic examples are Toutiao and Qutoutiao.

However, now is not the time to think about the portal, let’s take care of the video first.

A few days later, Li Xuelin and Wang Xiaochuan came to Chen Yu's office again.

Although Chen Yu designated Li Xuelin to be in charge of publishing the video overseas, Chen Yu also called Wang Xiaochuan over.

At first, Wang Xiaochuan thought that he would only be responsible for the technology. However, after Chen Yuyi renovated the model, Wang Xiaochuan became more shocked the more he studied it. He feels that through big data analysis and recommendation, the search engine he is responsible for may be able to overtake in the future, catch up with Baidu, and even compete with Google.

Suddenly, Wang Xiaochuan was extremely concerned about the video business.

For the latest plan, he and Li Xuelin studied together for a whole week.

"Well, this is a good plan."

Chen Yu was satisfied after seeing the latest plan.

However, when he saw the funds at the back, Chen Yu frowned.

"Xuelin, what's going on with this 100 million US dollars?"

"Mr. Chen, this is the capital we need to invest in the early stage."

"so much?"

"This is really a lot."

Li Xuelin explained: "Video websites are no different than ordinary websites. They require a lot of resources for bandwidth and video storage. Especially after the website attracts more popularity, the amount of user uploads every day may be more than a person can watch in a lifetime."

"Xuelin, it's not a day, but the amount of uploads in one minute, maybe a human being can't finish it in a lifetime."

Wang Xiaochuan, who was in charge of technology, corrected Li Xuelin.

Such a terrifying upload resource, so his investment is also very large.

This is also the reason why video websites could not find profits in many cases before.

It's not that they can't make money, but the cost of saving these videos and allowing users to watch them normally is a huge expense.

"How much money is left in the Huanyu Portal account?"

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, we can still get money out of the company's account for the time being."

The company Li Xuelin refers to is not Huanyu Technology Group, but Huanyu Portal.

Although Huanyu Portal does not seem to be profitable, Huanyu Automobile, the secondary channel of Huanyu Portal, is quite profitable.

The current Huanyu Automobile is not only a car portal, it is also involved in car sales, car insurance... and other businesses. As the most authoritative and professional platform in China, although Huanyu Portal is not necessarily stronger than Xinlang on the whole, in terms of earning power, it is better than Xinlang by one or two points.

"I know."

Chen Yu nodded: "But Xuelin, didn't you say that making videos is very expensive? It costs 100 million US dollars now. How much will it cost in the future?"

"This is still uncertain. I estimate that we will need financing after US$100 million."

If there is no financing later, ordinary companies will not be able to withstand it.

After all, if you want to make a video website bigger and stronger in the future and spread it to the world, any website will cost tens of billions of dollars.

Such a scale is not something a company can afford.

Even if they can afford it, ordinary companies will not do this.

"Financing should be done slowly. If you want to raise funds, you must first complete the website."

"Okay, you guys start your business first, and I will consider the funds needed later."

Chen Yu started a video website to make money.

Of course, in order to make money, you must invest in the early stage.

But Huanyu Portal is not necessarily rich. Such an investment is too much at once, and Chen Yu is also heartbroken.

Furthermore, to be honest, Chen Yu was already very poor after taking over Lin Benhan to develop a photolithography machine.

Even if there is money in the accounts of some subsidiaries now, Chen Yu does not dare to spend money arbitrarily.

…

A few days later, Chen Yu took Li Xuelin and Wang Xiaochuan to the United States again.

However, Chen Yu did not go with Li Xuelin and Wang Xiaochuan.

Instead, let them take care of the video business themselves.

Li Xuelin was also smart, but he went to Wang Chang immediately.

Although Wang Chang is now in charge of Friendship Network, he could be considered as working together with them back then.

After asking Wang Chang for advice, Huanyu Video's preliminary work in North America was progressing very smoothly.

As for where Chen Yu went?

He went to youtube.

Recently, there are rumors that YouTube is planning to sell.

Suddenly, a lot of capital and a series of global IT companies came into contact with YouTube.

After hearing such news, Chen Yu naturally had no reaction.

Therefore, he also contacted Chen Shijun, founder of YouTube.

right.

That's right.

The founder of YouTube is also a Chinese-American.

The reality is very surprising.

The person who founded Yahoo was a Chinese-American, and the person who founded YouTube was also a Chinese-American.

Chen Yu certainly didn’t contact Chen Shijun to acquire YouTube.

Although Chen Yu has reasons to acquire.

But acquiring YouTube requires too much money. On the one hand, Chen Yu is very strapped for funds, and on the other hand, he doesn’t want to acquire it at all.

He wants to build his own video website. Wouldn't it be better to defeat YouTube?

As for the reason for contacting Chen Shijun, it is actually simple: to make money.

Whose money is it for?

Make money from Google.

"Shijun, who are the people who have come into contact with you?"

"Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Apple...all have them."

"Haha, Microsoft doesn't have the DNA to make the Internet. Apple probably can't afford that kind of money right now. Yahoo is possible, but I think they might want to do video themselves. I think Google wants your YouTube the most."

"I feel the same way."

Chen Yu and Chen Shijun get along well with each other.

Probably because the age difference between the two is not very big and they are both Chinese.

Moreover, Chen Shijun has learned Chinese since he was a child, and Chen Shijun is also very interested in Chen Yu.

"Why did you come up with the idea of ​​selling Youtube? Is it your intention or the intention of the entire team?"

"There are reasons for me and there are reasons for the whole team."

Chen Shijun said: "I have something wrong with my body and I need to spend some time recuperating, so I may not have much energy to be responsible for YouTube. The team also believes that having top IT giants to protect us will be more conducive to the development of YouTube."

Chen Shijun didn't hide anything from Chen Yu.

In fact, this is a conventional way for many Internet companies to become bigger and stronger.

After all, not just any company can become a giant.

It’s not just that you can achieve global success if you have a relatively innovative business.

There are too many uncertainties and too many challenges here.

"Understandable."

Chen Yu nodded.

According to past life news, it also confirms the reason why Chen Shijun sold YouTube.

Of course, his health is just a minor problem and he will be fine after a period of rest.

As for why we want to sell it to Google, on the one hand, we may want to cash out and leave, on the other hand, it may be for the further development of YouTube.

Of course, Chen Shijun may not have guessed that if everything goes according to historical process, YouTube will be worth 100 billion in the future.

And it’s still US dollars.

"I think Google can only bid up to $3 billion."

"This is still unknown."

Chen Shijun didn't say everything this time.

Although he was also interested in Chen Yu, Chen Yu's contact with him was not necessarily a simple chat.

"Haha, Shijun, you can communicate with Google for a while. Maybe it will be less than 3 billion US dollars... If I join, maybe they will raise the price to 4 billion US dollars."

"you sure?"

"certainly."

"You Huanyu are also interested in our YouTube?"

"You can say that...but I can tell you now that although I am interested in YouTube, I will not buy it."

"Why?"

"I feel the same way as Yahoo."

"hehe……"

Chen Shijun smiled.

This is also normal.

Why buy it, why not make it yourself?

Why is Yahoo not interested? In fact, it also wants to do it on its own.

Why doesn't Chen Yu buy it? It's also because they have a friend network and can do it themselves.

Both are very professional Internet companies, and they are also confident to build another video website.

Why doesn't Apple buy it? The problem is that they really have no money now.

So in the end, why is Google the most interested? Because they are a search engine. They not only have to complete the search for text and pictures, but also complete the search for videos. But they were in the search field before, and they didn’t have particularly high genes for Internet website operations. At this time, it would be best to acquire a website with potential and then use their search engine to support it.

"You want to help me raise the price?"

"That's right."

Chen Yu nodded: "You know, people in the industry call me the little prince who raises prices."

"Hahaha……"

Chen Shijun laughed.

He had heard several times about Chen Yu raising prices.

When Yahoo acquired 3721, Chen Yu cheated Yahoo by raising the price.

When Lenovo acquired IBM personal notebook computers, Chen Yu cheated Lenovo again.

This time, it looks like it’s going to trick Google.

"Chen Yu, are you trying to trick Google or me? I still retain some shares."

"Your shares are really too small. It's better to sell them all. Besides, as soon as I take action, I will give you an increase of US$1 billion. This deal is worth it no matter how you calculate it."

"What benefit do you want?"

"Just give me 30 points as a favor fee."

"make a deal."

Since YouTube is going to be sold, Chen Shijun has nothing to do with how YouTube will be in the future.

Although Chen Shijun originally planned to retain some shares to see whether YouTube can grow into an international giant in the future.

But who knows about this kind of thing?

Cash in hand is the safest.

As for whether Google will be fooled, Chen Yu is extremely relieved.

First of all, Google desperately needs Youtube.

This is not only the popularity of YouTube, but YouTube is also related to their search business.

If other competitors come in, Google may not be so worried.

But if Chen Yu takes action, Google will never let go.

After all, Friends Network is now popular all over the world, and it is almost under their Google.

Of course, this is nothing.

Most seriously, Google should understand that Friends is more than just a social networking site.

He could also threaten Google's position.

You think it's impossible?

No.

They only need to plant a search engine box on a friend's website and instantly increase the market share of a certain search engine by 10 points.

In other words, no matter who gets YouTube, Chen Yu’s friends network cannot get it.

Even if he knew that Chen Yu was here to raise the price.

Bite the bullet and take down YouTube.

"Mr. Chen, our Google offer is US$3 billion."

"Brin, we can't accept $3 billion."

"Mr. Chen, I believe you also know our sincerity at Google. US$3 billion can be said to be the highest price among all companies currently exposed to your company. Moreover, we can also leave 5 points of stock for your founding team. If Mr. Chen We still think this price is too low, so we can only say sorry."

Google once again made an offer to YouTube.

The price is the same as Chen Yu guessed, US$3 billion.

"Brin, how are you?"

"Youtobe is considering it."

"Still thinking about it?"

"Yes, Paige, don't worry, I feel their heart is moving."

There are two founders of Google.

One is named Brin and the other is named Page.

Well, Peppa Pig’s Peppa Pig.

"This guy finally made an offer."

Brynn said bitterly.

Google has dealt with Huanyu Technology.

Moreover, Chen Yu also poached their president of Google China.

Although Chen Yu's search engine failed to take away their Google business, Google has always been wary of Chen Yu.

Especially after Chen Yu's investment in Friends.com performed well in the United States, they became even more worried.

This is why Google is so eager to show YouTube.

"what should we do?"

"What can I do? I can only increase the price."

Gritting his teeth, Brin contacted Chen Shijun again and quoted US$3.4 billion.

Backhand, Chen Yu’s offer was US$3.5 billion.

Google then quoted US$3.6 billion, and Chen Yu directly raised the price to US$3.9 billion.

This speed of price increase makes Google grit its teeth.

"Damn, this guy must be raising the price, definitely."

Paige cursed.

How can there be such a price increase?

To be honest, with YouTube’s current size, he is definitely not worth US$3.9 billion.

In fact, US$3 billion is considered overestimated.

However, Chen Yu directly increased it to US$3.9 billion.

Reminiscing that Chen Yu had cheated many companies several times before, both of them felt that Chen Yu was raising prices.

But even if Chen Yu was seen through, the two of them were helpless.

Chen Yu always raises prices accurately.

If Google gives up, they are really worried that Chen Yu will acquire YouTube.

You know, Friends.com definitely has the ability to acquire YouTube.

Moreover, Friends.com has raised a lot of money before, so they have plenty of ammunition.

"Brin, tell Chen Shijun, US$4 billion is our lowest price."

Gritting his teeth, Page said: "If Chen Yu raises the price again, we will give up."

finally.

Chen Shijun stopped as soon as it was good, and the US$4 billion ended perfectly.

When the two parties signed a formal transfer agreement, Chen Yu received a benefit fee of US$300 million.

In addition to the US$100 million previously prepared by Huanyu Portal, that is US$400 million, which is about 3 billion yuan.

There are 3 billion yuan, which is enough to provide strong support for the video business.

…

"Alas, it's a pity that YouTube was not successfully acquired."

Chen Yu said to several major shareholders of Friends.com.
