Chapter 317 Pull Me Into the Group
"Anti-Qvod Alliance?" Qin Shaoyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing the news, and then raised a question from the bottom of his heart.

"What is there to oppose about Qvod? Is it necessary to form an industry alliance to oppose it?"

"Are they just bored?"

Compared with Qin Shaoyan's ease and disdain, Zhang Pingyi was full of anxiety and uneasiness.

"How can you still be in the mood to joke?" Zhang Pingyi frowned, "Hurry up and think of a way to deal with it."

"What are you dealing with?" Qin Shaoyan was very surprised. "The combined broadcast volume of these industry elites is not as high as that of Qvod, right?"

"You can't say that." Zhang Pingyi retorted, "The broadcast volume can be inflated."

"Huh?!" Qin Shaoyan looked at Zhang Pingyi in surprise, "Master Zhang, I didn't expect you to learn water data, too?"

"You are almost becoming the public enemy of the industry, so stop talking nonsense." Zhang Pingyi was anxious, "It seems that they are serious about this. They have formed an industry alliance and are targeting us with all their might."

"They have formed a group, so no matter how big you are, you still have to be careful."

Qin Shaoyan put away his smile and said seriously: "Master Zhang, how do you think they will deal with us?"

Zhang Pingyi was stunned and said unhappily, "If I knew, would I ask you?"

Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly, "What do video websites rely on to attract users? They rely on a smooth and comfortable user viewing experience, high-quality and rich content, and a good community atmosphere. Advertisements and activities are external forces and will not last long."

"No matter how fancy the activities are or how high-end the work is, it all comes down to hard power."

"What is hard power? It's a comparison of funds and technology!"

"In terms of funding, we have raised more money than theirs combined, and our technology is also first-class in the industry."

"What qualifications do they have to fight us?"

"Just relying on an anti-Qvod alliance to shout slogans?"

"To compete, you have to spend money. How much money can they raise with all their efforts? Is it enough?"

"They say they are an anti-Qvod alliance, but who will come out in a real fight? How will the benefits be divided? These issues alone are enough for them to argue."

Zhang Pingyi pondered for a moment, "What if they don't follow the normal routine?"

"After all, spending money may not get things done, so they will tend to use public pressure or some administrative measures to solve the problem."

Qin Shaoyan showed a strange smile, "Then I will be even happier."

"Huh?" Zhang Pingyi was very surprised. "What's there to be happy about?"

"If we really want to intervene through administrative means, that would be pure suicide." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Because the Iron Fist won't just hit me when it comes in."

"Look at them standing on the dry shore in a dignified manner. Are they clean?"

"Their website is full of filth and dirt, even more shameful than our Qvod."

Zhang Pingyi sighed, "We still have to treat this matter with caution."

"After all, we are almost becoming the public enemy of the industry. For the sake of appeasement, the administrative department may punish us."

Qin Shaoyan nodded and said confidently, "It's okay, don't worry."

He said it was okay, but he was actually already on guard.

Because reporting is basically useless for ordinary users. The only thing that can really attract attention is large-scale negative public opinion. The rest depends entirely on the credit of peers.

Colleagues are the ones who express naked hatred. Only they know how to report and what to report in order to be successful. After all, the person who knows you best is your enemy, besides yourself.

Qin Shaoyan thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Who are the anti-Qvod alliances? Can I find out?"

"There are Tudou, Youku, Ku6, 56, and Liujianfang..." Zhang Pingyi counted on his fingers.

"Huh?" Qin Shaoyan was very surprised, "How do you know so clearly?"

"Senior Brother Chen told me." Zhang Pingyi replied, "He was also dragged over."

"Senior Brother Chen?" Qin Shaoyan seemed surprised, then sighed, "You are thoughtful."

Qin Shaoyan picked up his phone and called Chen Guangxia. It took a long time for the call to be connected.

"Brother Chen, how are you?"

Chen Guangxia was silent for a moment before speaking, "Boss Qin, what can I do for you?"

"I don't deserve your advice." Qin Shaoyan said with some emotion, "Thank you for passing on the message to us."

"I'll remember this favor."

Chen Guangxia smiled bitterly, "It's my duty. After all, Boss Qin helped me to attract investment, and Zhang Pingyi is also my junior and good friend. It's reasonable for me to tell him."

"One thing is one thing." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "Brother Chen has devoted himself to the campus network and Qvod.com. Even if he has no credit, he has worked hard. Helping you to attract investment is also my compensation."

When Chen Guangxia heard this, he suddenly remembered when he first joined the campus network. At that time, he was full of energy and ambition, and he wanted to work hard with President Qin and become a loyal follower.

But in less than two years, he went from being a core veteran and right-hand man to a marginal figure, and finally had to leave to start his own business.

Life...

Seeing that the other party was silent, Qin Shaoyan immediately changed the topic, "How is Brother Chen's website doing recently?"

"..." Chen Guangxia almost burst into tears when he heard this.

He couldn't accept this.

What should he say?
Is the website still in beta?

A large group of directors in the company do not do their work every day, but are busy managing each other.

As a CEO, he can hardly carry out normal business. This is not Microsoft arranging a group of assistants for him, but finding a group of fathers for him.

Chen Guangxia regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. Why did he agree to Microsoft's huge conditions at that time?
Qin Shaoyan didn't know that Chen Guangxia's defense was broken by a sentence, and he was still flattering, "With Brother Chen's ability, it's a piece of cake to start an Internet company. With the support of Microsoft, it will be easy to go public through IPO in two or three years. By then, Brother Chen can cash out and achieve financial freedom. Don't forget each other when you become rich."

What's the point of seeking wealth and fame? I'm almost like a dog kneeling down, barking woof woof.

"Boss Qin." Chen Guangxia said stiffly, "If you have nothing else to do, I'll hang up. I still have a lot of things to do."

"Wait a moment." Qin Shaoyan said quickly, "Brother Chen, can you do me a small favor?"

Chen Guangxia hesitated for a moment, "You go ahead."

"Please add me to the anti-Qvod alliance group, thank you."

"???"

Chen Guangxia was completely confused. Why did they pull you in?

"Mr. Qin, you..."

Qin Shaoyan said from the bottom of his heart, "I can also talk, I can also oppose Kuaibo!"

"..." Chen Guangxia was silent for a moment, and said helplessly, "Then I'll invite you in."

"Wait a minute, I'll register a new QQ account." Qin Shaoyan quickly logged into a new account, "Please pull this in."

Soon Qin Shaoyan heard the familiar cough. He clicked on the message and saw that the small account had been added to the group by the group administrator.

There are actually more than a dozen group members. Each member's nickname is labeled according to the website. The group is very lively at this time, with several people chatting.

It seemed that these people were having a great time chatting. It was a rare occasion for so many colleagues to get together, so with the mentality of making more friends, they began to promote each other's business.

These people are all entrepreneurs of small websites, belonging to the bottom of the industry, struggling to survive is the first priority. They were just pulled in to make up the numbers, and whether they oppose Qvod or not has little to do with them.

Because whether the anti-Qvod alliance succeeds or not will not improve their situation, and even if it succeeds it will not help them attract investment, and some of them are here purely to watch the fun.

So as soon as these people entered, they added each other as friends, and then started to form a group to keep each other warm, and discussed how to put advertising links on each other's websites.

It sounds incredible that they advertise and link to each other, but it was a very normal phenomenon at the time, and many small websites at the grassroots level did so.

First, everyone's size is similar, there is not much user traffic, and there is no big difference. Saying that publicity and traffic diversion is completely a polite way of flattering oneself, and in fact it has no effect at all.

Doing this is a kind of etiquette for making friends, which means there is no conflict of interest between the two parties.

No one is spending money to buy ads anyway, and they’re just sitting around doing nothing, so it’s the same as not having anybody posting ads for each other.

When Qin Shaoyan was watching with great interest, the administrator started chatting with him privately.

Tudou.com: "New here, please change the group nickname."

Honest and selfless man: "How do I change it?"

Tudou.com: “Just change it to the name of your website so it’s easier to identify.”

Qin Shaoyan thought about it and changed the group nickname to Pilipili.

Tudou.com: "Welcome new members to join the group."

Immediately, a row of emoticons and polite greetings appeared in the group.

"Welcome new members. The alliance has grown stronger."

56.com: "Hey, your website name is weird, why can't I search for you?"

Pilipili: “We were just established not long ago, and the server is not very stable yet.”

56.com: "Oh, please change to a better server."

Pilipili: “o(╥﹏╥)o, no money.”

56.com: “Didn’t you try to find VC?”

Pilipili: “Can you eat VC?”

56.com: “VC stands for venture capital.”

Pilipili: “Oh, I did. The venture capitalists were not optimistic about the style of our website. They thought that the positioning of our website was too different.”

Ku6: “Hey, video websites have positioning features? Aren’t they all the same?”

Pilipili: “Yes, we have a specific target user group, which is significantly different from other video websites.”

Others became more curious and asked questions.

"What are your characteristics? Tell us so we can learn from you."

Pilipili: "We specialize in the ACG field and provide a good learning website for anime fans! (～￣▽￣)～"

Everyone: "..."

56.com: “Oh, it turns out to be the second dimension.”

Pilipili: "(▼ヘ▼#) What happened to our 2D world? What do you mean?!"

Pilipili seemed to be really broken down, and kept complaining in the group, accusing society of prejudice and disrespect towards the two-dimensional world.

Tudou.com: "Okay, okay, everyone, stop arguing, let's get down to business, if you continue to talk nonsense, I'll ban you."

The group immediately fell silent.
