On April 30, a large conference room in Hailong Building.

"At this time the anti-pirated alliance press conference led by Penguin, Feigou.com will announce the cooperation of 'video + e-commerce', and join everyone in the crowd to launch a new business model and video shopping!"

Liu Qingdong stood beside the projection screen, and the laser point in his hand shot straight on the PPT, vividly speaking the grand blueprint.

After he finished speaking, Lu Fei half turned around, his eyes glanced at Gu Yongqiang, Wang Wei, Cao Guowei, and Zhang Hongyu, the president of PPS, cleared his throat and added:

"This year marks the 5th anniversary of the establishment of Feigou.com. This year's Double Eleven is also the first time we have used this model. I hope everyone will actively cooperate."

"Mr. Lu, please rest assured, I will definitely cooperate!"

Gu Yongqiang was the first to speak, and Cao Guowei and the other two immediately rushed to express their determination.

"Win win-win is the best adhesive. Feigou.com can harvest channel traffic and you can get advertising revenue." Lu Fei suddenly changed his mind, "But, all this must be based on strengthening the authentic version. Yongqiang, it seems that even Penguin Video has had many infringement lawsuits recently. Is that true?"

"Yes, but those lawsuits are completely framed!"

Gu Yongqiang said indignantly: "We have never done this before. We are just searching for tigers and making a batch of vests to upload pirated copies. If we seal one batch, they will change another batch."

"Mr. Lu, I can testify to Mr. Gu, because Tudou.com also encountered the same thing. What's more excessive is the pirated version uploaded at 9 o'clock. I searched the tiger and went to notarize it at 9 o'clock. I just wanted to have a face, and I almost wrote the four words "the culprit" on my face."

Wang Wei was so angry that his teeth were quacked.

"How will the court judge this usually?"

Lu Fei looked left and right.

"Most of this kind of infringement case wins the lawsuit, but the judge is not a fool. When he notices such malicious uploads to competitors, he will reduce the penalty and compensation, just like Sohu sued us recently, and only paid 30,000 yuan."

Cao Guowei curled his lips and sneered.

Wang Wei punched the table with a heavy punch, "Although 30,000 is not a big deal, it is enough to buy a TV series with more than 20 episodes, and there are more than one litigation cases, more than one hundred!"

Gu Yongqiang said angrily: "In addition to compensation, there are also maintenance and operation costs. A subordinate of my Sohu said that they now have KPIs, and at least 5 pirated copies are transmitted a day. Even if we delete them in time, the workload alone will increase by four or five thousand every day."

"This trick is unethical."

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows. He never thought that Zhang Chaoyang, who has always regarded himself as a good man, would come up with such a sinister trick. It seems that he really wants to fight with him.

Wang Wei suddenly looked up, "Mr. Lu, since Zhang Chaoyang has done this, let's do it the same, and it's a big deal, with more people than people. At most, three companies in the Anti-Piracy Alliance of Sohu have a thousand people. Can we have more than us?"

Lu Fei shook his head as if he disagreed, "It's time. Lingdong, let's have a meal at the photoelectric department head Zhang tonight, talk about 'photoelectric + e-commerce', and talk about where to go to video websites."

"I'll make arrangements right now."

Looking at Liu Qingdong who responded, Wang Wei was full of doubts. Yu Guangli saw Cao Guowei and Gu Yongqiang laughing without saying a word. He was even more confused and asked: "Mr. Lu, why are there any photoelectric matters between us and Sohu?"

Lu Fei smiled mysteriously but did not answer. He just left Zhang Hongyu alone and talked about the second round of PPS financing. Everyone else was asked to leave the conference room.

"Mr. Cao, Mr. Gu, what does Mr. Lu mean?"

Wang Wei was confused and completely confused.

Cao Guowei, considering that it is his own people, said: "Mr. Wang, who is not jealous of such a large piece of cake in the video website? The optoelectronics department is also watching it. Isn't the Shanghai Stock Exchange's cultural and television industry pioneers?

As expected, sooner or later, the mango and blueberry systems will be mixed in. But the situation is too chaotic now. I hope someone can make things right. Mr. Lu is the person they want."

"Then we can't indulge the search tiger anyway, right?" Wang Wei was very depressed. "We can endure such despicable means?"

"Mr. Lu didn't say he should bear it." Gu Yongqiang said with a smile.

Wang Wei was stunned, "Didn't Mr. Lu say?"

"Are there any objections?" Cao Guowei showed the old fox's smile.

“No.”

Wang Wei suddenly realized that if he didn't object, he would agree.

Gu Yongqiang and Cao Guowei looked at each other and shook their heads and laughed.

With such an unspoken trick, how could Mr. Lu, who is righteous, make it clear? It depends entirely on his subordinates' own understanding. Just like an accountant doing two sets of accounts, what does it have to do with the boss? It's not my instruction.

"I understand, hehe."

Wang Wei rubbed his hands and searched the tiger, please wait for me!

…………

Overnight, the pirated versions on Sohu Video increased by tens of thousands, and Sohu deleted and cleaned them completely overloaded.

Immediately afterwards, Tudou.com officially issued an announcement announcing the launch of comprehensive rights protection to Sohu Video and to ask for an explanation on 100 stolen film and television dramas and variety shows.

Sohu immediately attacked, aren’t you bullying honest people!

I, the leader of my anti-pirated alliance, would do such a thing? It was obviously you who deliberately created a bunch of vests to attack, which was simply unethical!

Tudou.com retorted, slandered me, he slandered me!

Wang Wei personally said on the Internet Arts and Xinlang Blog: "These uploads are completely the behavior of netizens, and they may also be tricks written and directed by someone. In short, Tudou.com cannot do such an immoral thing. Sohu is deliberately spreading the wrong rumors of 'mutual infringement'."

Gu Yongqiang, Cao Guowei and others liked and left comments. In an instant, the reading volume of blog posts soared by one million, and the war escalated. Sohu alone had 18 complaints to be welcomed in the Shanghai market court.

The second and third brothers in the online video fight. Cool 6, 56.com, PPTV and other peers thought they could watch the fire from the other side of the river, but they never expected that the anti-pirated war would go from small to big fight. Penguin, PPS, and new wolves were involved one after another. Soon, none of the video websites on the head and even the waist were spared, and they were all involved in the vigorous "de-pirated" melee.

Sometimes he is a plaintiff, sometimes he is a defendant.

The entire video website market was instantly in chaos.

Up and down, almost all the famous video websites were on the dock. Under the battle between gods and Buddhas, the little fish and shrimps were both innocent and pitiful, and the websites without money, power and technology fell down in batches.

Eden Film and Television, Holy City Home, Film and Television Empire...

A large number of resource websites are either ordered to block the site due to piracy and infringement, or they cannot afford to file lawsuits and have to close them. Some are not only pornography, gambling, advertisers withdraw sponsorships, have no money to make money, and they cannot find money to burn, and the capital chain is completely broken.

During the May Day alone, more than 30 websites died!

Then the video websites at his waist became increasingly unable to do so. For example, Liu Yan from Liujianfang, although he was very prescient and stocked up on copyrights for a batch of TV series and movies, but he could not withstand the bandwidth of the money burning speed. In just 5 minutes, he would cost more than 10M.

It's not HD or Blu-ray, it's just 320P.

In the end, the bandwidth was burned out and the advertising fee was not earned back. The creditor who sold the bandwidth came to his door and was blocked by Liujianfang Company.

Liu Yan is also very bachelor, completely lying down. He has no money and has to sue him casually. The court often summons Liu Yan and is always there. Just when he thought he would not be able to make a living in his life, the grand Chen Tianqiao suddenly sent a text message-

I want to acquire you!

Two days later, look.

Jia Paoting crossed his hands and sat at the computer desk.

His eyes were staring at the news this morning, "Shanda bought 80% of the shares of Liujianfang for 8 million yuan", his forehead was covered with black lines, his face was covered with haze, and his clouds were uncertain.

His situation is just a little better than Liujianfang. The copyright and cash he hoarded can last for half a year, but it is obvious that this copyright war between the big guys will not be easily stopped.

If you continue to be independent, you will definitely die. You must find a thigh!

At this moment, QQ news popped up on the lower right foot, and the content was as simple as one sentence. Tudou.com's second round of financing received US$10 million from IDG, Net Art, and Penguin.

"Fuck, why can Wang Wei hug the penguin's thigh!"

Jia Paoting was envious and jealous, and was full of fantasy about how he would look at Mr. Lu's thighs tightly.

However, everything was dreaming during the day, sitting in the evening without receiving calls from any venture capital or investor. The reason was simple. Such a protracted melee, greedy and timid capital did not dare to place bets.

The bold ones are also waiting for the end of this melee of raising a pot to invest in video websites that survive tenaciously.

In the lower right corner, QQ popped up another message, PPS received $9.5 million in financing from Feigou.com and Sanyi Fund.

"Ah! Why didn't Lu Fei choose me!"

Jia Paoting felt inexplicably sad. He was always a dog. His gaze was much better than PPS and Tudou.com. Why wasn’t it me?

When he was so worried about the prospect of Shi Shi, he suddenly received two text messages from his mobile phone, which were from Ding Sanshi and Cao Guowei. Netyi and Xinlang wanted to jointly inject funds and take them into his younger brother.

He was immediately filled with joy. It was also a kind of honor to be Mr. Lu's younger brother.

I'm proud!

At the same time, under Lu Fei's instruction, Internet capital quietly opened its bloody mouth and swallowed it.

Except for the fact that he would rather die than surrender, he would not be acquired by any means. After Shanda took over Liujianfang, he acquired Ku6.com. Baidu’s appetite was not so big, so he gave up the acquisition and only invested in PPTV.

The controlled video website, under the order of Internet capital, has been invested in the public opinion war in copyright litigation and has clearly supported the camp led by Penguin.

Gu Yongqiang, who was once the president of Sohu, led the boss of Ku6.com, that is, the former vice president of Sohu and other former generals of Sohu, to attack his old boss Sohu and fight a fierce battle of words.

The anti-pirated alliance led by "Souhu" is completely under the banner of anti-pirated versions and maliciously suppressing the authentic double-standard dog.

While spraying Penguin, Tudou.com and other websites use the "safe haven" principle to argue for piracy, they always use the "safe haven" principle to defend themselves in litigation cases and protect themselves.

While scolding Tudou.com, PPS and other websites for crazy pirating and competition, their copyrighted film and television content is less than one-thirty of Penguin and one-tenth of Tudou.com.

Double standards make such six, shameless!

We have never seen such a shameless person!

The defense was broken, and Zhang Chaoyang, who was shameless, completely broke the defense.

No longer had a war of words, he simply overturned the table, and broke out from a secret battle to an open battle. Both camps fought hard, but just as Sohu was doing his best, his teammates finally couldn't stand it.

Youpeng Pule was targeted by Thunder and Huayi, and the final judgment was fined up to 1.21 million yuan in compensation. The most serious case of video piracy and infringement caused a sensation online and offline for a while.

As well as Sohu, Sohu was also hit by a huge negative public opinion. Sohu Video, which was originally ranked third, was squeezed out of the top three and barely ranked fifth, but its position is still in danger.
