My Age of Investment

Chapter 1575: public enemy of the industry

  Chapter 1575 Public Enemy of the Industry

  Not long after Zhang Ming left, Zhang Yong knocked on the door and walked in with a smile on his face. He briefly reported to Xia Jingxing the recent "prosperity" of the Internet in China.

"Weiyun will be officially launched in major mobile app stores on the last day of this month. Competitors such as 360 cloud disk, Qianxun disk, Sina micro disk, Ali cloud disk, Penguin cloud disk and other competitors will also be launched at the same time. Start-up companies such as Kingsoft Kuaipan, Kupan, and 115 Netdisk, which have been launched before, have a personal cloud storage track that is so lively that it is dubbed by the media as the "Hundred Disk Wars."

  Xia Jingxing sneered and said, "Ari is finally going to join the cloud computing war?"

   "Sooner or later!"

  Zhang Yong smiled and shook his head, "Let's not talk about them, what really surprised me was the penguins. They also came to this muddy water. Is it because the capital chain is not tight enough?"

"Ha ha!"

  Xia Jingxing laughed heartily, "It's probably because they are short of funds that they come here to catch up on this enthusiasm. It seems that they are going to raise money again. I wonder if Li Yikai will still pay this time?"

  After the two teased the penguin together for a while, Zhang Yong said, "I remember you had some trouble with Xue Manzi?"

   "Well, what's up?"

   "It's nothing. He led the investment in Kupan. He announced that he would build the best cloud storage service in China just after financing the A round. It's almost arrogant."

  Xia Jingxing smiled silently. In fact, he and Xue Manzi didn't have much of a feud, but the old guy used to invest in some projects that were against his companies, and the hostility seemed very strong. But all of this ended with Fuxing Industry's acquisition of Conscience Holdings. He and Xiong Xiaoge's group had already reached a settlement.

Xue Manzi came here this time to join in the excitement of the personal cloud storage battlefield. He didn't know how to comment. Now that all the giants have entered the field, it is obvious that there is no opportunity for start-up companies in this industry. The older the old man is, the older he is. , the more dizzy.

  However, the old man's family background is there, and the relationship with Jack Ma is also good. In the future, there is still a chance to find a receiver to solve the problem.

  Quickly forgetting the matter of Xue Manzi, Xia Jingxing began to seriously think about how to fight and win this hundred-disc battle.

   He has placed high hopes on the Hainei Cloud, which has been carefully built by spending countless money and resources, and relying on the huge Internet product matrix and user base of Hainei Holdings.

  The first branch product launched by Haineiyun is "Weiyun", which provides free network storage space for individual users.

  As the first shot of Haineiyun, it must be fired no matter what.

After Xia Jingxing carefully asked Zhang Yong about the series of promotional arrangements after the launch of Weiyun, he felt relieved. With Weibo, WeChat and many other trump card products attracting traffic, as long as Weiyun's product service is above the qualified level, at least it can be the first in the industry. The echelons stand firm.

  FXCloud, on the other hand, promotes mobile phones, tablets and computers of three brands: Fuxing, Honor, and Conscience. It has already opened up the market and won a certain market share.

  As for himself, he has two major cloud products in his hands, one starting from the Internet and the other bundled with hardware, which has basically established the competitive advantage of the cloud computing track over other players, and he can continue to advance the plan in accordance with the steps.

  After briefly explaining to Zhang Yong, Xia Jingxing suddenly said: "Speaking of the Hundred Regiments War, how is the Hundred Regiments War going?"

  "The war is raging, and huge advertising fees and subsidies are burned every month. Some start-up companies can no longer bear the pressure and start to fall behind, and financing gradually begins to concentrate on top start-up companies.

  We support Meituan, Qianxun supports Nuomi.com, and Penguin supports Gaopeng. They should all enter the second half smoothly. "

   "Is the development of Gaopeng okay?"

  The reason why Xia Jingxing refused to cooperate with Groupon to operate a group buying website at the beginning was not only because he was determined to focus on his main business and not to expand rashly, but also because he was not optimistic about Gaopeng.com.

   Later, Penguin enthusiastically formed a joint venture with Groupon to establish Gaopeng.com, thinking that they had picked up a huge bargain, but they didn't know that there were many pitfalls inside.

   "Very good, Gaopeng.com's advertising is the strongest, and QQ helps them attract traffic." Zhang Yong replied 1510.

   "Xiao Ma is really full of energy, so stay away from me everywhere. If you have this time, why not improve the company's financial situation."

  Xia Jingxing was actually quite happy in his heart. Penguin chose to attack from all sides, which was exactly the scene he was most happy to see.

  The current penguin has lost several important battles such as online games, Weibo, and instant messaging in a row.

  Ari and Chihiro have basically ended their main business battles, and have the energy and financial resources to plant a flag in the booming mobile Internet field and expand their own territory.

  In fact, domestic holdings should not intervene in industry disputes before the social war is over, but whoever makes himself rich will not hurt if he takes a big step.

   "How's WeChat and WeChat chat going?"

  Xia Jingxing asked about the most concerned matter. This is a key battle that will truly determine the fate of Overseas Holdings, and there is no room for sloppyness.

Zhang Yong quickly suppressed his smile, and said with a serious face: "After Android allowed the WeChat app to be released, Penguin has been promoting this app at all costs. The methods of sending text messages, importing contacts and QQ friends are all available. Use it.

   In addition, Penguin has also reached a strategic alliance with Qianxun, and Qianxun is also helping Penguin to promote Weichat.

  Sina, Sohu, and NetEase also have rifts with us. On the surface, they seem to be neutral, but in fact they are also supporting Penguin. "

  Xia Jingxing frowned slightly, just now Zhang Ming also reminded himself of this point, it seems that the entire Chinese Internet doesn't like overseas holdings very much...or they are afraid of themselves!

  The aggressiveness of Overseas Holdings over the years is indeed a bit stronger, scaring some friends.

   "Robin Lee is standing in line at this juncture, isn't he afraid that we will focus on attacking him?"

  Zhang Yong scratched his head, "Anyway, his face has been torn apart, so he should have nothing to worry about.

  And our Sogou is still constantly iterating the version, and has reached a strategic cooperation with 360, which has become a thorn in Robin Lee's side.

Moreover, our Overseas Cultural Investment has united half of the entertainment industry, established the "Anti-Piracy Alliance", and launched the "Double 100" plan. All of this made Kiwi Video very uncomfortable. You can't find so many TV and film producers to cooperate with them.

  In addition, video sites such as Youku, Ku6 (acquired by Shanda), PPS, PPTV, and Oakview have also criticized Tudou.com. They feel that we have betrayed the online video industry and are contacting content providers to punish them. "

  Xia Jingxing listened amusedly, "I am the richest man on the horse, why don't I accompany them to continue to play pirated versions? Is this plausible?"

  Zhang Yong smiled. He knew that the boss was not intentionally making enemies. To put it bluntly, everything was for profit.

   Over the years, the film and television copyright fund, which has been incorporated into the domestic cultural investment, does not know how many online copyrights of TV, movies, documentaries and variety shows have been collected.

   In the past, things that used to be priced at the price of cabbage, even without spending money, suddenly became a piece of sweet pastry as the country cracked down on it, and even a sharp sword that could stab the opponent's chest at any time. It's no wonder Xia Jingxing didn't make good use of it.

  At the same time, in the early years, the domestic cultural investment fund invested heavily in Huang Huazhong, Yu Dong and other entertainment tycoons, and established a good cooperative relationship.

  In addition to Weibo and other new social platforms, the importance of film distribution and celebrity exposure is becoming more and more prominent. How can people like Huang Huazhong and Yu Dong dare to offend Xia Jingxing.

Therefore, when Hai Nei Wen Investment announced the launch of the second phase of 10 billion yuan investment fund, and at the same time announced that it will invest in 100 movies and TV dramas in the next three years, the mainland entertainment industry responded one after another, expressing their willingness to join the plan—Mr. Xia said in this regard He is well-known, and he never orders people in vain. As long as he is obedient, a lot of real money will be thrown on his head.

  Then, Overseas Holdings responded to the national policy and launched the "Anti-Piracy Alliance" to safeguard the common interests of everyone, targeting all kinds of infringing video websites.

   After this series of punches, how can the online video industry stand up to it? Policy, public opinion, copyright, content, funding...everywhere they are at a disadvantage compared to Tudou.com.

Some people in the industry predict that a new round of reshuffle in the online video industry has quietly begun, and the survivors left behind can only be, and must be, those big players with large capital and compliance with laws and regulations, and those who have no steel coins in their pockets. Xiaoka can only be sadly out.

  That's why Xia Jingxing is so hated. For the benefit of his own company, he colluded with "outsiders" and swung knives at all his peers, and even pretended to fight piracy. It's too disgusting.

   After thinking about it in his heart for a while, Xia Jingxing decided to continue being this "public enemy of the whole industry".

  If the reshuffle is not accelerated, sooner or later the online video industry and the entertainment industry will embark on a deformed development path. Users will not get half of the benefits, and they will have to endure worse and worse quality film and television content.

  When he first cleared the Internet capital, he had plenty of time to slowly "tune" the entertainment industry.

   "If our whole set of punches is thrown out, it is estimated that only Kiwi fruit can barely resist it."

  Xia Jingxing paused for a moment, then said with a cold look: "No, I have to find something for Robin Li to do, he is too free!

   You immediately notify Lao Zhou and let him act quickly! "

   "I don't think it will work during this time." Seeing the boss looking puzzled, Zhang Yong quickly explained: "At the end of the month, we will ring the bell at the New York Stock Exchange at 360."

   "Oh, look at me, I almost forgot about it, that's all right, just bear with Robin Lee for a while."

  Xia Jingxing felt very unhappy in his heart. According to his past temper, it was absolutely impossible for him to tolerate Penguin and Qianxun's collusion.

But now it is the critical moment when Overseas Holdings is fighting on multiple fronts such as instant messaging, online video, cloud computing, and online news, which has drawn too much energy from him, and Zhou Hongyi is not prepared. Well, we can only let Chihiro go for now.

   "Oh, by the way, during this period of time, no matter what method you use, you must press down on WeChat first, and you must not let them close the gap in the number of users with WeChat."

Hearing the boss's words, Zhang Yong's eyebrows twitched. Suppressing Weichat is not a simple and easy task. Wechat will bring heavy pressure to Wechat.

As for WeChat itself, it has only been launched for more than a year, and the mobile application has been launched for less than a year. To put it simply, the foundation is unstable, user stickiness has not yet been fully formed, and it cannot withstand too many winds. If the rain hits, it will take another year or two to take good care of it.

  Zhang Yong suddenly remembered a piece of good news, quickly put on a smiling face, and happily shared it with Xia Jingxing.

   "Issuing the first batch of online payment licenses in May?"

  Hearing the news, Xia Jingxing's eyes lit up immediately, and he said happily, "The QR code we developed will finally come in handy!"

  Zhang Yong also nodded excitedly, "The next step is not only to promote QR code payment, but also to promote scanning codes to add friends. This is great news for WeChat."

  Xia Jingxing said "Mm", and then said, "Hurry up and hold a meeting and arrange it. Don't think about saving money, push as hard as you can. You must maximize the effect of this card."

Zhang Yong nodded his head heavily. He knew that the development of two-dimensional codes did not have too advanced technology at all, and there was almost no pressure for opponents to copy them. Take advantage of it.

  The corners of Xia Jingxing's mouth raised slightly, I'm sorry, old horse, I won't let you this time.

   I don’t know what kind of expression Lao Ma will have when he sees his Alipay being overtaken by the rising star Haifutong/WeChat Pay.

  Speaking of which, I am still a major shareholder of Alipay, so there is no need to deal with Alipay as a class enemy, just a reasonable competition.

   "By the way, remember to make a solemn proposal with the relevant departments, saying that we are willing to cooperate in the promotion of Chinese Xincode with completely independent intellectual property rights by us Chinese, instead of the Japanese QR code.

  Prepare for a rainy day. In the future, various Internet companies and payment companies can follow this trend and use Hanxin code. "

Zhang Yong smiled. He knew that the boss was very concerned about this matter. He had been laying out the layout several years ago. Although the inventor of the Japanese QR code expressed his willingness to give up the patent fee, it is a Japanese thing after all. Who knows what will happen in the future? Will there be any problems?

  After receiving Xia Jingxing's repeated proposals and the comprehensive support and cooperation of overseas holdings, the development of Hanxin Code in this life is much better than in the previous life. It should not miss the development opportunity and watch Japanese QR codes spread all over China.

  Penguin played a disgraceful role in the dispute between the two QR codes in the previous life. Although the development of Hanxin code is not strong and the technical indicators lag behind QR code, it is not a good thing for the country in the final analysis.

   Chihiro is a rare person who stands upright and unswervingly supports Hanxin Code. It may also be out of gratitude for "driving away Google" and was forced to come to the platform.

  But in the end, Hanxin Code still missed a good opportunity for development and failed. It has to be said that it is a pity, and it also seriously shows that some people lack a kind of foresight and vigilance.

In the end, Hanxin code is still used and developed on a small scale in China. In addition to the reason of information security protection, there is another more important reason is to leave a way out. If there is a problem with the QR code, something can be replaced at any time, and it can also be a deterrent. The Japanese who may jump out to collect patent fees at any time.

  "Academician Li Guangnan has been working with this project before, and he himself attaches great importance to national information security and the establishment of Chinese technical standards. It should not be a problem for him to persuade relevant departments to issue a promotion policy for QR code technical standards."

  Xia Jingxing smiled slightly, "Okay, then it's settled! Start action as soon as possible!"
