Liu Zhiping sat in Chen Rui's office and preached to the latter in a very calm tone.
"Mr. Liu, is it true that we can no longer discuss it?"
Chen Rui ignored the other party's vaguely threatening words and reconfirmed the copyright matter with Liu Zhiping.
Liu Zhiping smiled coldly, "Do you know what relationship Rui Xiang has with Penguin now?
Since you choose to stand on the sharp side, you are naturally the penguin's enemy.
Why do we still allow the UP host of Station B to live broadcast or edit game-related videos of "League of Legends" and "Honor of Kings"?"
Chen Rui smiled bitterly, he now understood the pain caused by the position giant.
There are mountains in the Internet world, and there is no such thing as a peaceful life.
"But Rui Xiang holds a veto power, so it is impossible for Penguin to invest in it."
Chen Rui played the bitter card, "Mr. Liu, Penguin is also a big company and has the demeanor of a big company. Why should it embarrass small companies like us?
When we first started Bilibili, we wanted to give like-minded people a community and a sharing platform."
How could Liu Zhiping not use thunderous tactics after listening to Chen Rui's few complaints?
Ruixiang is becoming more and more dangerous, and the Feishu launched this time surprised Penguin.
The B-side market is being targeted by Ruixiang again, and they want to take a stab at it.
Penguin's industrial Internet strategy is to tap the enterprise service market. Now that Rui is entering this troublemaker, it is difficult to say that it will not stir up trouble.
Ruixiang's appearance became more and more ugly, and he wanted to interfere in everything. In more than five years, he grew into a big monster.
Give the other party another five years, and it is very likely that China's Internet landscape will be rewritten.
The biggest threat to Penguin from Ruixiang is naturally the content section.
Not to mention short videos, Weishi is like a helpless man, and the person in charge is scolded by Pony every day.
The long-form video business, Rocket Video, just as the name suggests, has exploded rapidly this year. Through self-produced web dramas, web dramas have quickly gained a foothold in the industry.
At the same time, he invested in film and television production and variety show production companies just like a boy who spread his wealth.
The exact amount of money that was paid out is unknown within Penguin, but it is generally estimated to be no less than 20 billion yuan.
After this year, Youku’s third position may not be maintained.
Penguin and iQiyi can maintain their lead for a period of time, but how long they can maintain their lead depends on the momentum of Rocket Video. No one dares to claim this guarantee.
As for content subdivisions such as information, novels, comics, ticketing software, etc., Ruixiang is also making arrangements in an orderly manner, strengthening its strength bit by bit.
After repeated internal discussions, Penguin decided to focus on station B.
Just like Ahri squeezed out Ruixiang from several AI companies, Penguin also wants to eliminate Ruixiang from Bilibili.
Station B has live broadcasts, long and short videos, and also promotes games. The most important thing is that the users are young.
Youth is the future!
The most critical thing is that Station B is not a wholly-owned company of Ruixiang, and it also relies heavily on Penguin games as material for UP owners.
So, Liu Zhiping walked into Chen Rui's office with a carrot in hand and a stick in the other.
It's very simple, if you follow Rui Xiang's path to the dark side, you will be Penguin's enemy. We will sue you immediately for copyright infringement and remove the relevant videos from the shelves.
Even if you don’t die, I want you to shed some skin at Station B!
Moreover, Liu Zhiping even said that if he refused Penguin's friendship, then Penguin would make friends with Station A.
Chen Rui is now in a dilemma. If Rui Xiang does not have veto power, bringing Penguin in will not only make friends with Penguin, but also check and balance Rui Xiang.
When the time comes, if Ahri is brought in, Station B can learn from Didi and be able to have both sides.
But now, Zhang Yida will definitely not agree to Penguin's investment.
What awaits Station B will be Penguin’s fierce offensive.
After all, he is also the head of a unicorn company, but now, he can only pretend that Station B is harmless.
But Liu Zhiping wouldn't listen to this, and he had to make a choice.
"Mr. Chen, let's go and talk to Zhang Yida."
Liu Zhiping said with a smile, "Ruixiang has also invested US$780 million in Station B, and he probably doesn't want to see these investments go to waste.
We are not asking Station B to necessarily side with Penguin, we just need to be neutral."
Chen Rui felt that what Liu Zhiping said made sense, but the key to this matter depended on Zhang Yida's attitude.
If Zhang Yida insists on watching Station B die and is unwilling to let Penguin enter, then there is nothing he can do.
In fact, you can't die even if you die. The UP hosts who live broadcast PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and King of Glory on Station B have half and half.
If Penguin asks Station B to stop live broadcasting their games, the relevant anchors may be lost to Huya and Douyu.
For Station B, it will definitely be severely damaged.
After figuring out the relevant links, Chen Rui made an instant decision.
He put away his smile and said forcefully: "Mr. Liu, I'll talk to Mr. Zhang first. If Mr. Zhang doesn't agree, then Penguin can do whatever they want."
When Liu Zhiping heard this, he felt that the threat was not enough?
No, Chen Rui must be made to understand the seriousness of accepting Penguin's blow.
Liu Zhiping adjusted his glasses and said inscrutably, "Mr. Chen, I don't think you can negotiate with Zhang Yida with this mentality."
Chen Rui felt that he had underestimated the shamelessness of the capitalists, so he had threatened him with the front foot, and had to teach himself how to negotiate with the back foot.
What do you think I am? A capital doll? The kind that can be manipulated casually.
Considering the threat Penguin poses to Station B, Chen Rui suppressed his anger and said, "Then Mr. Liu, teach me how to convince the richest man?"
Liu Zhiping naturally heard Chen Rui's faint anger, and was not angry at all. He slowly explained his method.
"You must show your determination, a determination that cannot bear to see Station B destroyed.
If your performance shocks Zhang Yida, he will definitely give in.
Station B was destroyed, and based on their shareholding ratio, the loss was at least US$3 billion.
Zhang Yida can ignore this loss, but can Ruixiang's shareholders?
If necessary, you can also mobilize the friends at station B.
Let me tell you, these kids are all "key wizards" and have their own way of trolling.
Weibo, WeChat public accounts and other channels can be used.
No matter how you say it, Zhang Yida is the richest man and a leader among contemporary entrepreneurs. He cherishes his feathers and will definitely give in.
Otherwise, if he is given the title of a black-hearted capitalist, Bilibili’s nearly 100 million active users will make him unable to take care of himself.”
Chen Rui heard that he wanted to use "public opinion" to force Zhang Yida to make concessions.
Don’t tell me, the probability of success is quite high!
Just offending Zhang Yida would be a real misfortune, and it might also push Station B into an abyss of eternal destruction.
If we reject Penguin and fully rely on Ruixiang, Station B’s upward momentum may stagnate, but it will definitely not die.
Do you want to take risks?
Chen Rui felt that he was feeling very complicated at the moment, even more complicated than when he just heard that Penguin was going to sue Bilibili.
What a big problem!
Chen Rui put his hands in his hair and thought hard.
The corners of Liu Zhiping's mouth were slightly raised. Wasn't he straight and straight just now?
Give me another side view.
Everyone has a secret corner deep in their heart, and he didn't believe that Chen Rui didn't have one.
And he just wants to arouse Chen Rui's ambition. If Station B cannot be separated from the Ruixiang camp, then he will destroy it.
Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, since Ruixiang relies on long videos, it is inevitable that the live broadcasting strength will be weakened.
