NOVEL NEXT Chapter 136
Huangpu District.
Hyatt Hotel.
Looking at the exhausted Liu Shishi, Su Chengyang hugged her and kissed her cheek without saying anything. Sometimes silence is better than words. They just snuggled together quietly.
This trip took an entire afternoon.
At seven o’clock in the evening, they were a little hungry and got up from the bed, dressed neatly and went to the restaurant downstairs for dinner. During this process, flirting was inevitable, and Su Chengyang used practical actions to once again confirm one thing, that is, once this girl became a woman, she became much more proactive. As for Liu Shishi’s taste, only Su Chengyang knew what it was like.
The two finished their meal in the restaurant downstairs, and then Liu Shishi suggested going to the Bund for a walk to digest the food. Su Chengyang readily agreed to this suggestion. After all, a woman has just won the first prize. At this time, her heart is very fragile, and what she needs most is company.
However, she has to dress up.
Both Liu Shishi and Su Chengyang are celebrities now. If they are recognized, it will cause a commotion on the spot.
After the two wore hats, masks and disguises, Liu Shishi took Su Chengyang’s arm and walked on the Bund leisure road, looking at the colorful light show at night and the cruise ships wandering back and forth on the Huangpu River.
That night, the two of them made love again.
Halfway through, they received a call from Li Man.
It turned out that this woman, seeing that Su Chengyang was late to come back, felt a little empty in her heart, so she made a call and planned to ask Su Chengyang when he would return to the hotel.
He was accompanying Liu Shishi at the moment, so he had no time to comfort Li Man. He just said that he would not return to the hotel, and then hung up the phone.
Li Man was just a plaything.
Although Liu Shishi was the same, playthings were also divided into levels. There was no doubt that Liu Shishi was a beautiful woman who could be on par with Yang Mi and Liu Tianxian in Su Chengyang’s heart.
Even more important than the two women.
After all, in Su Chengyang’s heart, Liu Shishi was cleaner than the two.
At least she didn’t have a”godfather” and there was no rumor of a chaotic private life.
Because of the Liu Shishi incident, Su Chengyang declined the plan to go north and stayed with Liu Shishi in Shanghai for almost a week. It was not until there were important matters to be resolved in Yanjing that he ended his sweet life with Liu Shishi. On
October 27, in the morning,
Su Chengyang arrived in Yanjing and returned to the company.
Afterwards, he asked his assistant to find Chen Yunfeng, the head of the group’s legal department, to learn about the previous lawsuit against pirated film and television websites and software. After seeing Chen Yunfeng come in, Su Chengyang gestured for him to take a seat, and then asked,”How is the film piracy infringement going?” ¨｀ ¨？”
“Chairman, we have sued ten companies including Kuaibo, Qiandu, Xunlei, Youku, and Penguin Video in the Haiding District Court. The court has accepted this large-scale infringement case and will formally hear the case starting next Monday. Su Chengyang nodded. The reason why he sued ten companies this time was also because of his previous instruction.
At this time, the concept of copyright has not yet been deeply rooted. Many regular video websites, such as Tudou and Youku,、PPS、Websites like 56 Video have a lot of pirated movie content.
Su Chengyang planned to catch them all this time, not only to make these websites bleed, but also to make them fall completely, or they would switch to UGC video websites like YouTube. If they want to make movies, it will definitely not work in a short time.
Because Shanhai Video website has basically won the streaming rights of TVB, ATV, and several old-brand film companies in Hong Kong, such as Phoenix and Golden Harvest. In
China, except for the TV series produced by YTV, which has non-exclusive copyrights, the remaining private film companies and film and television companies, including the movies shot by Lao Mouzi, have basically been won by Shanhai Video for streaming rights.
For this, Shanhai Video paid nearly 900 million in copyright fees.
A total of more than 4,800 movies and 1,200 TV series were purchased.
This is still the purchase of copyrights. Many films need to be restored and re-transcoded due to their age, which costs hundreds of millions.
Although a huge amount of money was spent to buy the copyrights of these old films, the effect is good.
After video websites like Youku, Penguin Video, PPS, and Tudou lost these copyrights and could not play them, it is foreseeable that traffic will inevitably drop sharply.
Even if you shoot videos yourself, it will take a long time to enrich the resource library.
When these websites are making progress, Su Chengyang’s film and television companies will naturally not sit idly by.
Take Shanhai Films for example, they shoot seven dramas a year. Which companies in the industry have the courage to do so?
“Is the chain of evidence ready? Do you have screenshots and saved links?”
“All have been collected, tens of thousands of links and thousands of screenshots. Our entire legal department has worked hard for more than half a month to prepare these evidences.”
It is not easy to collect so much evidence chain.
Including Li Yunfeng, the group’s legal department has only twelve or thirteen people in total.
Su Chengyang smiled and said,”Thank you for your hard work. After this matter is over, I will give everyone a half-month vacation.”
“Thank you, Chairman.” Li Yunfeng thanked him.
The two chatted for a while. Regarding the lawsuit filed by Qiandu, Qiandu had already lost the case and returned the money.
But as he had expected before, in order to continue to support Qiandu’s Nuomi group buying, Qiandu has directly stopped including the Youtuan website snapshot, resulting in the inability to search through keywords in the Qiandu search engine unless the Youtuan website address is directly accessed in the browser.
It was precisely because of this that Su Chengyang hurried back to Yanjing from the Magic City.
He asked someone to find Yao Wenjing, the general manager of Youtuan.com, and Xue Taiqing, the person in charge of Shenma Search.
Xue Taiqing was the technical development director of Qiandu search engine, and later jumped to Google Longguo Company as a technical The director CTO jumped to UC Browser two years ago to take on some development tasks. He was recommended internally some time ago and then hired by Shanhai Group to serve as the general manager of Shenma Search Company, responsible for Shenma Search.
In addition, although Su Chengyang did not acquire UC Browser, when UC was raising funds, he still invested in the name of Oasis Capital, not more than 30 million, accounting for 15% of the shares!
After all, Alibaba, the big guy, will take over next.
Even if Oasis does not follow up with the investment in the future and its shares are diluted, it will at least have 7%-9% of the shares.
According to Alibaba, if it acquires UC at a valuation of US$5 billion, Oasis will be able to make at least US$350 million in profits.
“¨‖ ¨‖ Mr. Xue, how is the progress of Shenma Search?”
After the two sat down, Su Chengyang immediately asked
“It was launched on a small scale two days ago. According to the test feedback, there are no major problems, so it can be promoted on a large scale.”Xue Taiqing said quickly
“OK, you come up with a promotion and marketing plan and I will approve it.”
“OK, Chairman.”
After talking about the Shenma search engine, Su Chengyang turned his attention to Yao Wenjing:”Mr. Yao”
“What is the current situation at Youtuan.com?”
“Not very optimistic.
Yao Wenjing showed a helpless expression.
“Since Baidu blocked our website, the traffic has dropped significantly. Fortunately, we laid a solid foundation when we were promoting our website in colleges and universities. Otherwise, we might have collapsed this time.”
“To be honest, Chairman, if this problem is not solved in time, the company will have money but nowhere to spend it.”
“It is inevitable to be surpassed by the latecomers (Yes, Yes, Yes)”
“I think the user transaction volume and visit volume of Qiandu’s Nuomi group buying website may have surpassed ours.”
Looking at his competitors surpassing him one by one, Yao Wenjing felt helpless. The good situation was ruined because of Qiandu, a troublemaker. In order to support its own group buying website, it was simply shameless.
“How is the situation at the board of directors? Did they say anything?”Su Chengyang asked with a frown.
“They didn’t say it explicitly, but judging from the previous meeting, they were clearly unwilling to see their money go down the drain.”Yao Wenjing said
“It’s normal to feel unwilling. It’s human nature.”
Su Chengyang smiled.
“Chairman, do you think we should expose the negative information about Qiandu now?”
Su Chengyang shook his head:”No hurry.”
“Good steel must be used on the blade. Those are our last weapons to fight back against Qiandu Search. We must kill Qiandu with one blow. Before that, it is better not to reveal the news.”
“After the Shenma search is launched, we will decide when to expose negative information on Baidu based on the situation.”
“I understand! Yao
Wenjing nodded.
