China Entertainment: Let you shoot for charity and make tens of billions?
Chapter 660: If You Give Another 60 Billion, Will People Come?
The president of Qiandu is actually a person who adapts to the times.
In fact, if Google had not withdrawn, Qiandu’s development would definitely not have been so fast.
But no matter what, the current CEO of Qiandu is a very successful businessman.
If someone can come to see Su Yi this time, he must be asking for mercy.
Because Qiandu’s stock continued to fall.
60 billion yuan has already evaporated. If this continues, it may trigger a new round of stock selling.
By then, it will become a vicious cycle, and no matter how strong Qiandu's foundation is, it will not be able to withstand it.
Qiandu’s deputy general manager has been dismissed and Qiandu is also under investigation.
Faced with such a situation, Qiandu has fallen into a dilemma.
In fact, Su Yi didn't even put in much effort, he just simply appeared on a news program.
The hospital is being investigated, Qiandu is being investigated!
They are also required to conduct self-inspection, and if similar advertising fraud incidents occur again, they will be severely punished.
In fact, the punishment this time is also very severe.
Almost everyone is calling for the ban of Qiandu, and in Longshi Audiovisual, anyone who curses Qiandu will get a huge amount of traffic.
Mr. Li has taken many measures, but he is still a little restless.
He came directly to the poetic and picturesque platform to look for Su Yi.
He believed that Longshiting was Su Yi's territory, and the current result was all due to Su Yi.
"Director Su! Seeing is believing. Your demeanor is even more impressive than I thought!"
Mr. Li was very polite when he came up and shook Su Yi's hand tightly.
And there is something else behind his words, it means he is giving in right from the start.
Looking at the elegant man in front of him, Su Yi also sighed. Whether in his previous life or now, this person in front of him can definitely be regarded as the pinnacle of the Internet company.
When I say peak, I don't mean he is the only powerful person, but whether compared with the wealthy Ma Yun or the controversial Ma Teng, Mr. Li seems to be neither high nor low.
Over the years, apart from search engines and some strange things, it has been known to many people.
Other industries seem to have always been like that.
Don't think that he is involved in all industries.
I have tried some takeout food and created novel websites before, but without exception, all of them have now disappeared from the Internet.
However, it has been doing fine for so many years and has always been a giant among search engines. Other search engines, whether they are niche and useful or may pose a threat to it, have not been able to defeat it.
Even if something like that happens in 2025, it will still be standing firm. Although its market value is shrinking, it will recover soon. It is estimated that the only thing that can support it is the advertising fees. Although each advertising fee is not sky-high, the quantity is dominant, and the main reason is that there are not many competitors.
As the saying goes, there are 360 professions and every profession has its top talent.
Not only some hospitals need such publicity, but also more industries. Because if there is no publicity, how can netizens search for them and how can they willingly pay money?
In Su Yi's opinion, the main reason for this industry is that there are no competitors. Although there are some companies like 360 Search, they are even worse and not up to par.
Anyway, this is an era where everyone is competing to see who is worse.
At least you can search for some things on Baidu that you need.
Several other search software are basically just for making money. You can’t search for anything, and they are just scams. So in that era when everything was worse, Qiandu has survived to this day. And although it has been repeatedly defeated in other industries, it has always been profitable. We have to admit that this industry is in decline.
Su Yi was thinking so. Mr. Li from Qiandu opposite him was also looking at Su Yi. For these businessmen, although Su Yi's previous achievements were shocking, they were also petty in their eyes, because the current entertainment industry is controlled by capital, whether it is filming movies or TV series.
When Su Yi first entered the system, he was not as good as some of his classmates who had been film directors. He was even ridiculed at first. This was because it was difficult to get ahead in the system with a fixed salary. By the time he was in his forties or fifties, he was just a director of a variety show, and that was already the best he could do.
This is a good job for ordinary people, but for some people who want to be involved in big productions, it is just a small matter. Even if you become a top director like Zhang Yimou, sometimes you still have to look at the face of capital.
Mr. Li and others represent capital.
But what was unexpected was that after Su Yi left the system, he seemed to casually make the platform very successful.
Even a lucky person like the CEO of Lay's was defeated by him, and even the company was acquired. All these years of tossing and turning are equivalent to handing everything over to others.
This time, his company lost 60 billion yuan. Even the vice president with the strongest business performance has been dismissed and is under investigation. Thinking of this, Mr. Li sighed in his heart.
A new generation buries the old!
This Su Yi is so strong in the directing industry, and he is also so good at business. Although this Internet company is not equivalent to traditional business competition, the other party seems to have a foresight and can always stay ahead of them.
Even if they wanted to deal with Su Yi, the other party could see through it at a glance.
"Please take a seat, Mr. Li! The company is still in its infancy, so please forgive us for not being considerate in entertaining guests."
So after leaving the system, Su Yi became a lot more polite, not because he was afraid of offending people.
It was because he felt that after leaving the system, he should no longer be as domineering as before.
I've also gotten older and become much more mature.
"You are too polite. Director Su, a defeated general, does not deserve any treatment. I am already very happy that you can meet me. In fact, our Qiandu strategy is not entirely about making money. I think what you exposed is right, and I also think that this incident has taught us a lesson. Now that vice president has been fired by me, and because of the suspected issue of false advertising, he is being investigated by the relevant departments."
Mr. Li's words were sincere. He knew that no conspiracy would work against Director Su. The other party was just an open conspiracy. And there was no loophole. He had thought of many ways before coming, including asking acquaintances to intercede or looking for the other party's braids, but after a round of efforts, he found that there was actually no loophole to exploit.
After much consideration, he had no choice but to lower his stance. But it was not difficult for him to accept.
After all, what a businessman values most is profit, and everything else can be put aside.
"This is a lesson he should have learned."
Su Yi said without comment that the other party might be giving in, but in Su Yi's opinion, this was what he deserved.
There's no question of showing attitude or anything like that.
Moreover, this is a conversation between two CEOs of an Internet software company, not a conversation between two students who are fighting in school. If you make a mistake, you can be forgiven by writing an apology.
Seeing that Mr. Li’s face looked a little ugly, Su Yi showed a faint smile on his face.
"Mr. Li, the solution to this problem is actually very simple. I am not a law enforcement agency and cannot punish you. Besides, there is no hatred between us. Your banning of these buzzwords in my TV series is normal to me. This is normal business competition. And for us, Shiqinghuayi, it seems that there is no way to fight back. This time I was exposed on the show because I am a public welfare director! The cause of the incident is also very simple, and it has nothing to do with your banning of the buzzwords in our company's TV series."
Su Yi's words are easy to understand. Although he said a lot, it's actually just one sentence. It's useless to talk nonsense to me. Only you can save your company. I'm not retaliating, you just asked for it.
However, although these words sounded sincere, Mr. Li did not believe them at all.
In his eyes, what Su Yi said before about being a charity director was just a persona.
The purpose is to quickly accumulate the trust of the audience.
Now that I've left the system, there's no need to be so high-profile.
"Director Su Yi is a powerful and understanding person. Actually, we at Baidu have been making changes, but we just haven't found the direction. I'm really sorry about this advertising incident. I have released all those trending search terms. I know it doesn't mean anything. I just want to show our sincerity and want a chance to make amends. You have done advertising before, especially public welfare advertising. A bad reputation cannot be restored even by 100 advertisements."
Mr. Li's tone was quite sincere and his expression was a little lonely. He didn't expect that after working hard for so many years, he would now be asked to do something for a young man, and a young man with no background at that.
These young people are quite good at doing things and they do things to the extreme. They still have a chance to turn things around, for example, they can help the couple and win some favor.
The so-called losing one's father in youth, losing one's wife in middle age, and losing one's son in old age are the three most tragic things in life. Since this kind of thing has happened and no one can stop it, then they can also do some charity and public welfare to help this family as compensation.
But what no one expected was that the Poetry and Painting Platform did this first, and it did not do it independently, but in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Welfare.
It was decided that the old couple would have another child through in vitro fertilization.
Although the college student is irreplaceable, he can always make up for the pain suffered by the old couple.
This means that Qiandu has no way out at all.
To be honest, for a company, advertising costs can be millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.
So the cost of in vitro fertilization is only about 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, and these are the most expensive prices.
It may be unaffordable for ordinary people, but it is still very easy for them to do, even just a drop in the bucket.
After learning that the Poetry and Painting Platform also donated money to the old couple, Mr. Li could no longer sit still, because in the public eye they are now synonymous with negativity, and the positive figure is Su Yi!
No one can compare to Su Yi in publicity.
This is recognized. Mr. Li was originally a little unconvinced, but now he says he is completely convinced.
After this incident was exposed, they became the target of public criticism.
Mr. Li was in a dilemma as he not only lost money but also his good reputation. After trying many methods, he still felt that the effects were minimal.
"Public welfare is definitely not a way to whitewash oneself, but it is done sincerely, and it will gradually have an effect. The negative impact on Qiandu is not my subjective intention. From the milk powder incident to now, it seems that I have never targeted any company. If I were such a person, I might not be seen now."
There is an essential difference between Su Yi and Chai Jing.
One does it for fame, while the other does it with genuine sincerity.
Regardless of whether Su Yi did it to establish his persona in the beginning or for some other reason, at least his desire to do charity work has never changed.
At that time, there were many people criticizing him on the Internet, but the facts proved that Su Yi could stand the test of time.
When Mr. Li heard these words, he immediately became a little flustered, because he knew that this was not official language, but it was exactly the same as official language!
This is enough to illustrate a problem: the person in front of them is not prepared to reconcile with them at all, or even to accept some conditions for reconciliation!
It is said that leaving the system is a matter of life and death, but Su Yi seemed to have broken this rule. In that program, Yang Yantai fully cooperated, the Public Welfare Department provided evidence, and listened to the whole process.
Qiandu was completely stunned.
"I have learned a lot from talking to you. It is my fault that I cannot understand such a simple truth. But I came here today with all my heart to ask Director Su Yi to point out a way forward, because we at Qiandu have done a lot of charity work in the past. If we continue like this, we may have to go bankrupt and restructure."
In fact, what Mr. Li said was a bit exaggerated, but there is a trend in that direction. If there is no better way, it will be really dangerous.
"Do less false advertising and slowly restore your reputation. Anyway, your search engine has no rivals. The compensation you made this time is enough to prevent the relevant departments from taking action. In fact, this is not a solution, and you don't need to thank me."
Su Yi shook his head helplessly. He really had no rivals in this industry. Moreover, there was not even a decent search engine, let alone any competitors.
The essence of a businessman is to make money, and Internet companies are no exception.
But no matter when you make money, you can't throw your conscience to the dogs.
"Mr. Li, this is my sincere advice. Would a truly powerful person search Baidu for how to see a doctor?"
Su Yi's face turned serious.
"For most people, every opportunity they see is like a life-saving straw! For some people, they can go to any country for treatment."
"They can search for some common knowledge about pathology on the Internet, and they can search for their current condition, but if they search for scammers, and their mood changes from hope to disappointment, can you understand?"
"You just lost 60 billion. That college student is no longer alive. Even if you give him another 60 billion, he will never see his son again. I know that he has a terminal illness, but half a year is enough for them to accompany each other." (End of this chapter)
