In view of the large amount of bad information on the Internet, the higher authorities have decided to crack down on pornography and illegal activities to purify the Internet environment!
Chen Sheng's words shocked Su Wang!
The crackdown on Internet pornography and illegal activities did not start at this time in the previous life. The first wave should have arrived in 2012, but now it is more than two years ahead of schedule.
The biggest impact of this wave of anti-pornography and illegal activities is that many non-standard video platforms have been affected, and some music listening software have also begun to become standardized, which has kicked off the entry of giants into the Internet entertainment market.
This change will have a huge impact on the development of halva.
Originally, the major giants had to wait until 2011 to start entering the market, so Sutang currently does not have many enemies on the video platform. Even the so-called Xunlei Kankan, Su Wang actually did not pay attention.
There is no other reason. Both of them lack capital and traffic entrances. But if the above policy is adopted, it is impossible for those giants to not see this. I am afraid that several major video giants in the future will be born in advance.
Because of this matter, Su Wang no longer wanted to stay in the club. After finding a reason to leave, he went straight to Sugar Technology.
"Mr. Su, you are so urgent on the phone. Is there something wrong?"
In Wang Yifan's office at Sutang Technology, Wang Yifan looked at Su Wang and asked with some confusion.
Just half an hour ago, he received a call from Su Wang. Su Wang asked if he was in the company and said that he had something important to come over to discuss with him.
"How are the contract negotiations between our company and major TV stations going?"
"At present, eight provincial TV stations have reached strategic cooperation with us. As for the remaining few, it probably won't take long to get them done."
"Before the Spring Festival holiday comes before the year before, it is best to get all these first-tier TV stations, and it is best to get the exclusive online broadcast rights."
Su Wang's words stunned Wang Yifan. There are only a few days left before the holiday before the end of the year. If we want to speed up the process, the only way is to increase the quotation. As for exclusivity, the price will be even higher.
In fact, in the negotiations with these TV stations these days, Wang Yifan can feel that the way these TV stations look at him is no different from looking at an idiot. At this time, the online video platform's cooperation with the TV stations is symbolic.
Given such a small amount of money, it's not like their company, each of which invests almost no less than five million.
"Don't care about money. If you can get exclusivity, then be exclusive. If you can't get exclusivity, then you have to reach a strategic cooperation. And if possible, the agreement will be signed for five years."
Of course, Su Wang knew what Wang Yifan was thinking. Yes, at this time, he spent money to buy the online broadcast rights of the program from the TV station, and it was still a big price. In the eyes of his peers and people at the TV station, he probably thought that the management of Sutang Technology was stupid and had too much money.
Local flowers.
But only Su Wang knows that at this time, the online broadcast rights are not worth the money to get more. If you get one more, it will be money in the future, especially if it is an exclusive copyright.
In the future, not to mention the program copyright of a TV station, even the network broadcast rights of a program can be sold for tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars. In this case, it will cost millions or even millions now.
It's nothing at all.
"Mr. Su, can I ask why our company does this?"
Wang Yifan looked at Su Wang with a serious expression, because from his point of view, he did not agree with this. After all, the company had just been established not long ago and there were many places to spend money. There was no need to spend so much money on it at once.
"Immediately, the higher authorities will conduct a clean-up campaign on the Internet, targeting online video piracy and banning some illegal and informal video platforms."
Su Wang did not explain in detail after answering this sentence. If Wang Yifan still cannot grasp the key point from this sentence, it means that Wang Yifan's eyesight is still poor and he may not be qualified for the position of EO.
"Network cleanup operation? Fight against piracy and infringement?"
Wang Yifan was stunned for a moment, and then a thoughtful look appeared on his face. He was thinking about what impact these words would have on the company or the industry.
As an old employee of Baofeng, Wang Yifan is very familiar with some of the current video platforms in the Internet industry. He also knows that many of these video platforms have marginal content. If one of the above is severely punished, I am afraid that many platforms will suffer.
.
Of course, this is not all that Wang Yifan thinks about. If the number of platforms decreases, new companies will naturally join in. And when an industry is standardized, who will be most willing to join?
Those Internet giants, because they are not short of money and have no means to circumvent, rely more on spending money to compete, and what the giants are most in need of is money.
Of course, Wang Yifan also thought of one thing. If the current video playback platform is a hundred schools of thought contending, then when this wave of severe crackdowns continues, it will probably become the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. The reduction of platforms means that the traffic of the surviving platforms will increase dramatically.
So at this time, how do these surviving platforms attract users? Naturally, they rely on high-quality programs.
"I understand, it's just the funds on our company's account?"
"You don't have to worry about this. I will transfer another 500 million to the company, all of which will be used to acquire copyrights. Don't be afraid of spending money. As long as you can get the exclusive rights, even if the price is several times higher, there is no problem."
What are the benefits of exclusive copyrights for high-quality programs?
You can see this just by looking at Mango TV. Even though its reputation is not as good as iQiyi, Tencent Video and Youku, Mango TV is the first among the four companies to achieve profitability, while the other three are still losing money so far.
.
What does it rely on? It relies on exclusive variety shows.
With the exclusive rights of the TV station, coupled with the self-produced "The Voice" and "Run", Su Wang is confident that Su Wang can defeat those giants.
"Mr. Su, I understand what you mean. I will complete all of this before the year."
Wang Yifan assured Su Wang that he knew that this was a test to see whether he was a qualified EO, and it was also a test of his own personal ability. The company had given enough money and had the upper hand.
If it fails, then there is no need for him to be an eo.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
Su Wang nodded, and after communicating with Wang Yifan for a while, he hurriedly left again and rushed to the next place, which was the company where Wei paid Qin Jiong.
"Mr. Su, it's rare that you have time."
When he met Su Wang, Qin Jiong made a joke. The company was acquired. At first, Qin Jiong was worried that he would be ignored, because after many startup companies were acquired, the founders could not escape the fate of leaving their jobs.
But after a few months, Qin Jiong was completely relieved that Mr. Su was indeed not involved in the company's daily operations and management, as he said.
But people are so mean. At first, he was afraid that Mr. Su would seize power, but Mr. Su really became a hands-off shopkeeper, and he felt a little depressed. What does this mean? It means that Mr. Su doesn't pay attention to his company at all.
"With you here, I can naturally be a hands-off shopkeeper. Besides, I'm not a professional. It's taboo for a layman to guide an expert."
Su Wang walked into Qin Jiong's office with a smile. This time, Qin Jiong's office did not have the thick smell of smoke. On the contrary, there were several pots of green plants on the table, which looked full of life.
"It seems that my sister-in-law has recently made major changes to your place."
Hearing Su Wang's words, Qin Jiong also had a happy smile on his face. What he was most satisfied with in his life was not his career, but having such a caring lover.
"There's nothing I can do. If I smell like cigarettes, I'll have to kneel on the washboard when I get home. When I want to smoke, I can only smoke outside."
After chatting with Qin Jiong for a while, Su Wang got down to business and asked: "How many cooperative merchants does our company have at present?"
"In terms of cooperative merchants, there are currently 16,000 merchants. Because of the endorsements of Kaixin.com and Fanfou.com, many merchants trust us."
When Qin Jiong said this, there was a look of emotion on his face. He used to give it to people for free, and the merchants didn't use it. But now, although they have to charge a handling fee, these merchants are rushing over.
With the mountains at your back, you can enjoy the cool air. This time Qin Jiong has a profound understanding and experience of this sentence.
"There are 16,000 businesses. Are there any informal businesses among them?"
Hearing Su Wang's words, Qin Jiong was stunned for a moment, but he soon understood what Su Wang meant by informal merchants.
These days, Internet control is not strict, and there are many companies that take advantage of loopholes and make some gray income. Qin Jiong actually knows how many of the 16,000 merchants are like this.
To give a simple example, some merchants do not have business licenses, and some merchants sell prohibited products online, which may even involve fraud. But for Qin Jiong, in order to expand the scale of the company, he will naturally turn a blind eye to these.
With one eye closed.
"Let's do an internal inspection and shut down all illegal accounts found to be illegal." Su Wang said.
"Banning them all will cause heavy losses to our company."
Qin Jiong looked at Su Wang in surprise and explained: "Mr. Su, in fact, other third-party payment platforms are also doing this, and everyone is the same."
"I know it's the same for everyone, but it's going to be different soon. The higher-ups are planning to carry out a clean-up operation on the Internet."
After hearing Su Wang's words, Qin Jiong fell silent and asked after a while: "Is it strong?"
"It's definitely not a small matter. Don't take any chances. Although this incident actually doesn't have a big impact on us, I still hope that we can escape unscathed."
Regarding third-party platforms, Su Wang is very clear that even if they are really cracked down, it will only be a censorship issue at most, and there will not be any severe punishment, but Su Wang does not want to leave a bad impression on the above.
"This way our losses will be considerable."
Qin Jiong was still a little hesitant. To put it bluntly, in his mind, everyone was the same. Even if the top was hit with a stick, everyone would be equally spread out.
But in Su Wang's heart, he didn't care at all about this kind of marginal income. He still had to have some conscience, and he didn't bear the pain of cutting his flesh just because the superiors caught him here.
"Loss is temporary. To be big, a company must be formal. It doesn't matter even if the development speed is slower because of this."
"Okay, your boss is not afraid of losses, so I am even less afraid. To be honest, I feel a little guilty in my heart. Now I feel liberated."
A relieved smile appeared on Qin Jiong's face. Everyone said that businessmen can pursue profits without conscience, but sometimes they are really forced because others do it. If you don't do it, it means that your company will
You will lag behind others, especially if this is not illegal.
After explaining to Qin Jiong, Su Wang also left the company. After leaving the company, he did not take a taxi and leave immediately, but just strolled along the roadside.
To be honest, as Qin Jiong said, even if the Internet needs to be cleaned up, it will not be a big problem as a payment platform. Just like the safe harbor principle of search engines, the payment platform is only responsible for opening accounts for merchants, and their funds are
Where did it come from and where can it be supervised?
Of course, this is an external statement. The payment platform actually has an internal identification system. Based on the size of the funds and the number of transfers, it is almost possible to analyze what kind of business the company is engaged in.
In fact, it’s not just the payment platform, it’s the same with banks, but everyone understands it tacitly.
However, Su Wang still asked Qin Jiong to ban these merchants, firstly because of his own conscience. There are many ways to make money, and there is no need to make such shady money.
Secondly, it is because he is a person who has experienced a previous life. When the Internet Cleanup Operation was launched, a large number of companies were affected, and a few companies that were not affected will naturally receive awards from above. With awards from above, once the above really wants to
If the Internet Society is established, then there is no chance that it will occupy a place.
Of course, in addition to working for the company, Su Wang still has some selfish motives. After all, he still bears the identity of the founder of the Anti-Fraud Network. If his company is named and criticized by the above, it will also have an impact on his image.
Image is sometimes very important. Not only celebrities need personality, sometimes entrepreneurs also need personality.
…
Four days later, Su Wang boarded the plane to go home, and as early as the day before, Tang Jin followed her mother back to Tianfu.
"In Guangfeng County, it costs ten yuan per person. If you want to leave quickly, there are only one or two people left."
As soon as he got out of the airport, Su Wang heard the familiar local dialect. Speaking of his hometown dialect, Su Wang once lamented to others that every county in a city has its own dialect, and it is completely different.
Take Su Wang himself as an example, he can't even understand the people in the county next door.
There are six dialects spoken in Shangrao City, which also results in the drivers soliciting customers at the airport exit speaking various dialects. The entire exit is like a vegetable market.
Su Wang, who was carrying a suitcase and carrying a bag, was naturally the key target of these drivers.
Su Wang didn't pretend to take a taxi. Taxis at this time were very shady. Although he was not short of money, there was no need to spend such unnecessary money.
Asking a driver to help push the suitcase, Su Wang finally came to a van. Su Wang looked inside and saw that there were already six people sitting inside, but it would be fine if one or two more people could sit there.
Wuling Hongguang is a magical car, you never know how many people are on board.
Su Wang got into the car and just sat down when a girl next to him exclaimed: "Are you Su Wang?"
After looking at the girl, Su Wang recalled it in his mind. He probably didn't know her.
"You and I graduated from Guangzhou High School in the same class, but you and I are not in the same class. Aren't you studying at Shuimu University? Shuimu University should have been on vacation long ago. Why are you back now?"
After the girl finished speaking, Su Wang had not yet answered. Several passengers who were a little dissatisfied because Su Wang got on the bus shrank slightly when they heard that Su Wang was a student at Shuimu University, so as to give Su Wang more space.
sit down.
Famous college students are very popular everywhere, let alone in a small county like Guangfeng.
