My Age of Investment

Chapter 1384: Plan to fall through

   Chapter 1384 The plan failed

   "Mr. Tong, Mr. Xiong, Mr. Yan, please take a look, the video has been uploaded in just a few hours, and the number of views has officially exceeded 10 million, which shows that users on the platform are still very interested in this video."

   In a small conference room of Youku.com, the company's CEO, Gu Yongjiang, is holding a laptop to show the video playback data to three institutional investors and Youku.com shareholders.

This video was handed over to Tong Shijie by Xia Jingxing himself, and he was instructed to take it to Youku to detonate it. After all, Tudou and Weibo, which are deeply imprinted with Xia Jingxing's imprint, to act as "shooters" seemed a little inappropriate and easy. The strategic partner Unicom caught the handle of deliberately making trouble.

   Although Xia Jingxing was not worried that China Unicom would turn his face, he still saved some face for the other party and did not make things too explicit.

   But Youku.com is different. Everyone knows that this website is the deadly enemy of Tudou.com, and the behind-the-scenes shareholders and Vision Capital do not deal with it.

   However, except for a few parties, no one knew that Axel China, IDG and SAIF no longer wanted to fight with Vision Capital, and they planned to reconcile with Xia Jingxing.

   Soon after Tong Shijie tipped off the letter that day, he found Xu Xin together with the other two brothers of Taoyuan Sanjieyi, and entrusted her to help Xia Jingxing deliver the message.

   After receiving Xu Xin's message, Xia Jingxing did not rush to give a reply, but prepared to wait for the three of them for a while.

   If you talk about a fight, you will start a fight, and if you talk about a reconciliation, you will reconcile. Then I am so embarrassed.

   Until a few days ago, Xia Jingxing finally prepared to act, but did not give a clear answer, but first arranged a small task for the three.

   What mission?

   Make the racist video of Old Joe popular again.

Tong Shijie didn't say a word, silently took the mouse from Gu Yongjiang's hand, flipped through the comments of the video, saw the one-sided scolding and the voice of boycotting the wisdom fruit, a serious fat face finally showed an amiable smile. .

   He patted Gu Yongjiang on the shoulder affectionately and praised: "Good job! Next, put this video to the top and make it exceed 100 million views as soon as possible."

"it is good!"

  The smile on Gu Yongjiang's face seemed a bit reluctant, because he was not very willing to help with this dirty work.

   Can't do it or can't do it. The three shareholders together hold more than half of Youku's equity. He doesn't want to mess up the relationship with the three important shareholders because of this trivial matter.

  Especially the three shareholders said something like merging with Tudou.

  Gu Yong will be very alert and careful about this, realizing that the three shareholders may be in contact with Tudou secretly.

After seeing this video that the three of them handed over to him, Gu Yong will be even more convinced. The three of them are going to jump off the car. The capital is so ruthless and only choose the most favorable plan for him, the so-called friendship, mutual support and mutual achievement. ...all bullshit!

   When General Gu Yong was madly complaining in his heart, Tong Shijie, Xiong Xiaoge and Yan Yan exchanged glances with each other, and they all showed knowing smiles.

   Now that the nomination form has been handed in, Mr. Xia should be satisfied now!

  Tong Shijie moved in his heart and slowly said, "Yong Jiang, how did you think about the suggestion that day?"

  Gu Yong will look up and find that the three shareholders are all looking at him with a smile.

   Looking at the three smiling faces in front of him, Gu Yongjiang felt awkward and aggrieved in his heart.

   Are you in a hurry to force the palace so soon?

After all, Gu Yongjiang is not an ordinary grassroots entrepreneur. He served as the president and COO of Sohu before he officially founded Youku. Before that, he worked as a venture capital investor in Wells Fargo Group for several years. Profit" word.

   Therefore, he did not show any panic, but said very calmly: "Although Youku's monthly active users and average daily PV currently lag behind Tudou, I don't think it is necessary to merge, at least it is not appropriate to merge now."

   "Oh! Talk about it."

Xiong Xiaoge looked at Gu Yongjiang with a gentle smile. In fact, he admired this entrepreneur with a dual background of "VC + Internet company". Even if he wanted to give Xia Jingxing a gift of reconciliation, he did not necessarily have to choose Youku. Besides, the online video track still has great potential.

   "Before the official acquisition of Tudou.com by Domestic Holdings, more than 300 video websites emerged in the entire industry, which can be roughly divided into four major factions.

   We and Tudou are a mixed faction, paying equal attention to TV series and original UGC content;

   And 56.com and Ku6 are the focus groups, focusing on the development of the UGC model of user-generated content;

  The giants represented by Sohu, although only Sohu is the only company to enter the market, I heard that Baidu and Penguin are interested in entering the online video industry;

  Thunderbolt, Stormwind and Quick Broadcast can also be counted as a faction, a tool faction.

   With so many companies and so many development directions, who will be the final winner? Or is there only one winner? No way! "

  Gu Yong's analysis of this shredded cocoon caused Xiong Xiaoge and Yan Yan to ponder.

   Only Tong Shijie was not affected. He still insisted on bridging the marriage between Youku and Tudou as the first credit he made after returning to the organization.

   "Tudou has a domestic holding group and Xia Jingxing as the backing. How many rounds do you think these startups can take under them?"

  Gu Yong looked at Tong Shijie and said calmly: "Frankly speaking, expecting these small companies to stop the development of Tudou is basically delivering food.

   However, it will take some time for Tudou to sweep away all the competitors, right?

   And Youku can take this opportunity to continue to develop large-scale and volume, and when it is included, it can also obtain better inclusion conditions.

   Also, Penguin, Baidu and Ali are still watching, and they may enter the video field at any time and become a new powerful player in this industry.

   We don’t necessarily have to be a domestic holding company or not sell it, and shopping around is the kingly way.

   Next, we can build up our strength while watching the development of the industry. Even if we want to sell ourselves, it is in the best interest of all shareholders to sell at a price, rather than taking the initiative to deliver to the door like now. "

  Xiong Xiaoge and Yan Yan were a little moved. They gave Tong Shijie, who was about to refute, a look and motioned him to stop talking.

   "Yong Jiang, we just put forward an idea to prepare a way out for Youku. Since you have it all in your heart, then we won't mention it."

  Xiong Xiaoge gently exposed the matter, and the heart of selling Youku basically faded.

  Tong Shijie was very unhappy. At the same time, he felt that Xiong Xiaoge was a little dizzy. Under Mr. Xia's anger, is your small body able to afford it?

   Looking at Yan Yan again, it is also an expression of being persuaded.

  Tong Shijie secretly said in his heart, his eyesight is really short-sighted, well, just wait and bear the wrath of President Xia!

  …………

  …………

   On the other side, Zhang Yong was closely watching the news of Youku in the company, ready to launch the public opinion machine at any time.

Xia Jingxing explained to him that the video should be fermented on Youku first, and after the news of Wisdom Fruit's entry into China was officially announced and all the people had joined the discussion, public opinion platforms such as Hainei.com, Weibo, Tudou, etc. would add more fire, so there was no need to work extra hard. , just report it as normal news and hot events.

Zhang Yong glanced at the broadcast data of Youku.com and found that it had exceeded 10 million. He knew that the fire was almost over. Just as he picked up the phone and was about to call all departments to have a meeting together, and then officially launched the general attack, the secretary knocked on the door and left. When he came in, his voice was a little anxious: "Mr. Zhang, Secretary Liu just called and said that the operation is temporarily cancelled. In addition, I asked you to take a look at the press conference jointly held by Wisdom Fruit and China Unicom today."

   Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, the landline on the table suddenly rang.

When he answered the phone, he heard a hurried female voice from the other end: "Mr. Zhang, many Weibo celebrities are forwarding the news of "Lao Qiao donated 100 million to China", should we cool down the temperature immediately? Folding related Weibo content display?"

   Zhang Yong hurriedly asked: "Lili, what is 100 million? Did something happen?"

   "Something has happened! This time, the fruit of wisdom is obviously prepared, and our plan may be completely lost!"
