Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"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 Baitobe.

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

"Brin, how are you?"

"Tobe 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.

Google, founded by the two, has now become the world's largest search engine company and has entered dozens of countries around the world.

However, although Google's business progress is very good, Google is not without challenges.

The challenges from search engines have never been interrupted.

Such as Yahoo.

Yahoo withdrew its cooperation with Google and launched its own search engine.

So is Microsoft. They're also getting into the search business.

And some things that don't seem to have entered, may enter in the future.

For example, Friends Network.

“Has Friends.com quoted a price?”

Not sure if he was too sensitive to the friend network, Page asked again.

"No."

Brin shook his head: "There is no news in the market at the moment. I guess they are not interested in the video business."

"That's not necessarily the case. Be careful."

As soon as Page finished speaking, news came out at noon that day.

Chen Yu, the founder of Huanyu Technology, went to Lutobe and quoted US$3.3 billion.

This news made Page and Brin extremely nervous.

"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 lure Tobe.

"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 Tobe’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 lure Tobe into acquiring it.

You know, Friends Network definitely has the ability to acquire Lutobe.

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 the acquisition failed to lure Tobe."

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

After learning that Chen Yu had come to the United States, a number of investors who had previously invested in Friends Network contacted Chen Yu.

Although Chen Yu does not care about the specific business of Friends.com, everyone knows that Chen Yu is in charge of Friends.com behind the scenes.

"Chen, there is nothing to regret. Google spent US$4 billion to acquire Baitobe, which will also cause certain troubles for their cash flow."

"Yes, besides, we can also make a video website similar to Lutobe."

"Yahoo is said to be launching their video service soon, Chen, we should also act quickly."

For Chen Yu, Yi Zhong Capital is quite satisfied.

Although Chen Yu's tendency to borrow money from friends is criticized, this guy has always had good vision.

"Mr. Dais, you are right, we at Huanyu Technology have prepared video business."

"Oh, Chen, you have already planned it. It's amazing..."

The president of Mogen Chase Investment Department gave Chen Yu a thumbs up.

But after saying that, Dai Si felt a little strange: "Chen, why is it Huanyu Technology?"

"What, is something wrong?"

"Isn't it a friend network?"

"Isn't Friends.com also owned by Huanyu Technology?"

"I……"

Dai Si was speechless by Chen Yu's words.

"Chen, I think we can put our business under the banner of Friends. This will give us more advantages."

"No, this won't work."

Chen Yu shook his head: "I'm afraid that if we succeed in the video business, the relevant departments here will say that I have a monopoly."

"Monopoly? No, no, no, this is impossible. It is impossible for the relevant departments to do this."

Dai Si kept waving his hands.

They **** have such strength.

"It's not impossible, and it's not like it hasn't happened before. Didn't your relevant departments say that Microsoft was a monopoly? It was close to splitting Microsoft in two."

"This was before, don't worry, with our **** existence, this is impossible."

"Mr. Dais, I think we should avoid such trouble."

Chen Yu still insisted on his point of view.

Of course, this is not a matter of persistence or not.

This is a matter of interest.

Although Chen Yu controls Friends.com, he has already financed a lot of stocks in order to make money.

In other words, Friends.com does not entirely belong to Chen Yu.

If the new video business is placed on Friends.com, even if the video business is expanded, other capitals will also enjoy profit sharing. But if you start a new company, then all the benefits will be Chen Yu himself, or Huanyu Technology.

How could these top capitals not know about this situation?

As soon as Chen Yu spoke, they understood.

In order to appease all the capital, Chen Yu said: "Mr. Dais, this is actually good. Although it seems good to hang the video business on friends.com, the video business is more expensive. If you don't start the video, it will be wasted. It’s not good to waste everyone’s money. It’s better to let Huanyu Technology launch the video business alone and see the effect.”

"What if you start a video business?"

"That's easy. Mr. Dais, can't we just raise another round of financing when the time comes?"

"I……"

"Mr. Dais, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, if we really start the video business, I promise to inform you first****."

"..."

At this moment, Dai Si wanted to strangle Chen Yu to death.

Chapter 854: Video business explosion

"Shameless."

"This guy just wants to take our money."

Dai Si felt resentful in his heart.

He naturally knew what Chen Yu was planning.

If we don’t put our video business on Friends Network, we don’t want them to benefit from their capital.

If the video business takes off in the future, they will have to spend money to invest.

Thinking of this, they hoped that Chen Yu's video business would be over.

In this way, they will not be cheated by Chen Yu.

But even though they thought so, on the other hand, they had some expectations in their hearts.

In any case, although Chen Yu is very deceptive, this guy is a genius.

If the video business is really started by him, maybe it will become a global friend network.

"Damn, what a contradiction."

Dai Si was extremely confused.

This kind of mentality that wants them to start up their video business but also wants their video business to end is really maddening.

In the end, I simply stopped thinking about it.

On the other side, Google finally breathed a sigh of relief after acquiring Baitobe.

Although the cost is a bit high, it is still worth it.

The potential shown by Lutobe is worthy of their premium purchase.

At the same time, after Google acquired Baitobe, he also decided to focus on supporting it.

Although the original Yutobe is developing well, it is just their own development.

But with Google behind it, it will gain huge traffic advantages.

You know, even though Google is just a search engine, more than 99% of the websites in the world, 30% of their traffic is brought by search engines. The development of Yutobe was very good before, but if Google adds weight to the search of Yutobe, the answer is undoubtedly accurate... His traffic will skyrocket in an instant.

In fact Google proves it.

After they increased the search weight on Baitobe, the average daily IP visits to Baitobe soared from the original 6 million to 10 million in an instant. The average number of videos viewed per day has also skyrocketed from the original 100 million to 180 million. On average, 65,000 videos are uploaded every day, growing to 100,000 videos. At the same time, in terms of overall market share, Tobe once again left msn video network behind and occupied 60% of the entire market share.

Finally, Google also integrated their Google Video business into Baitobe.

Yes.

Google had launched a video website long before it lured Tobe.

But it's a pity that their performance was mediocre, and they were immediately surpassed by subsequent temptations.

It is precisely because they have worked on a video website that they know the difficulties of making a video website.

In the end, this is why they are interested in seducing Tobe.

If you add Google Video’s market share.

In other words, Lutobe suddenly occupied nearly 70% of the entire market.

It can almost be said that Google has dominated the global video business by accident.

However, Google's actions are not over yet.

After Baitobe occupied nearly 70% of the market share, Google began to announce financing for the new Baitobe.

As soon as the news was released, it quickly attracted top capital from around the world.

The offers offered by various capital companies to lure Tobe jumped from the original Google acquisition price of US$4 billion to US$7 billion.

And in the end, Google reached financing cooperation with ten capital companies, with the final valuation being US$7.3 billion.

This kind of operation simply stunned Chen Yu.

He's meowing.

He thought he had cheated Google.

Unexpectedly, Google was even better than him. After one or two backhand operations, they doubled their valuation.

Chen Yu felt ashamed of himself for making money like this.

It is indeed a global search giant.

Being able to penetrate the search market into dozens of countries around the world goes far beyond just their search technology.

This also made Chen Yu pay more attention to Google.

Of course, the $7.3 billion valuation is also too high.

With the current size of Tobe, it is impossible for him to reach US$7.3 billion for the time being.

But the Internet has never been evaluated in the same way as physical manufacturing.

Since the birth of the Internet, there have been a series of bubbles.

And before 2000, his bubble had countless layers.

But if the bubble doesn't burst, it can continue to exist and even expand again.

In addition, the $7.3 billion valuation is high but not unreasonable.

In order to lure Tobe to occupy 70% of the market share, and add Google, the search artifact.

Even if he does have a premium, his future valuation will be far more than just $7.3 billion.

Therefore, after the valuation of Tobe was raised to US$7.3 billion, a series of IT companies around the world have set their sights on video.

Yahoo, the world's No. 1 portal, has launched its latest video service.

Microsoft said it will increase investment in video.

America Online portal also stated that they will launch video service in the near future.

Domestic aspect.

Tudou quickly received its first round of financing and will vigorously promote the development of its video business in China.

Moreover, Youku Video and Kuliu.com were born one year ahead of the historical track.

Sina quickly followed suit and launched Sina Video.

It can be said that the entire global Internet exploded because of Lutobe’s huge valuation.

This is normal.

According to business logic, if a certain product suddenly sells at a high price, it will inevitably drive the development of the entire industry.

IQ sold for a sky-high price of US$120 million that year, which also led to the development of the global instant messaging industry.

In fact, the previous huge financing of Friends.com also brought the entire community website into focus.

It's just a pity that at that time, a number of capital Internet giants also entered the field of social networking sites.

But social networking sites are not that easy to do.

Friends.com quickly locked down the user base through personal connections, and other companies were very trapped if they wanted to enter.

But compared to the social network Friends Network, it is undoubtedly easier to build a video website.

After all, its stickiness is definitely not as strong as social networking sites.

If they enhance their video content, they can also develop the video business.

Even if it is not as good as luring tobe, it can still gain a certain market share.

In addition, some of those entering the video business are portals themselves, and they also have the resources to support the video business. Like Yahoo, they not only have a portal website, but also a search engine, which is very strong in supporting the video business. In this case, Yahoo's entry into the video business is also favored by a lot of capital.

In addition, MSN's enhanced video service is also worth looking forward to.

msn itself is a globally popular instant messaging software. Although it has declined somewhat, its market share is still there. At the same time, backed by Microsoft, its strength cannot be underestimated.

Of course, while these giant Internet companies are entering, Huanyu Technology is not idle either.
