Chapter 321

"This year, the number of Internet users in my country has exceeded 100 million. The Internet has entered thousands of households and has begun to profoundly affect people's production and life. The Internet has become a part of people's lives."

"Super Girl is a national talent show with a large number of netizens. In order to create convenience for these netizens to chase stars online, we actively communicated and reached a strategic cooperation with Shonan Satellite TV."

"The cooperation between Super Girl and Qvod is an innovative attempt by traditional media and the Internet."

"The cross-border cooperation from entertainment variety shows to the Internet has opened up the online and offline communication channels for fans."

“It solved the bottleneck of poor communication between fans due to geographical restrictions and created a nationwide fan interaction and communication platform.”

“Fans who support different players no longer have to worry about not being able to find like-minded friends in the same city. They can directly find more like-minded people in the online campus network forum.”

“The Internet brings us closer together.”

Qin Shaoyan talked freely in front of the reporters, and the reporters who came to interview him smiled and held the microphone to listen to what they said.

"Mr. Qin, what else will Qvod.com have next?" the reporter asked in an orderly manner.

"Qvod has always adhered to the legitimate strategy, actively cracked down on pirated videos, introduced legitimate movies and TV series, and continuously improved technology to provide users with a better viewing experience." Qin Shaoyan said righteously, "We are constantly deepening cooperation with the film and television industry. In addition to purchasing the online broadcasting rights of movies and TV series, we are also trying to participate in production."

"Qvod strives to provide users with more and better video content, and builds the website with the principle of user first."

"Next, we are actively negotiating cooperation with TV stations and preparing to introduce more programs on the website."

"We have built an online TV platform using the most advanced P2P technology and have reached a cooperation with Shonan TV. The Super Girl final will be broadcast live online, and everyone can watch the TV program simultaneously on the Internet."

"We are currently opening a new channel called 2D to attract users with different hobbies."

Two dimensions?
The reporter was a little confused as to why Qvod.com stuffed all kinds of content into it.

But he quickly reacted and decided to pretend he didn't hear it.

After all, Mr. Qin has already given him travel expenses and writing fees, so I can't ask random questions and cause trouble for Mr. Qin.

The reporter asked again: "Mr. Qin, we have noticed that there are many video websites on the Internet. According to statistics, there are at least 120. The competition in the video website category is so fierce. What do you think?"

Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly, "More competition is a good thing. The emergence of so many video websites at the same time shows that everyone is optimistic about this track."

"I mentioned before when I met Bill Gates in the United States that video is the future trend and fashion of the Internet."

"Only when there is competition can there be progress. If peers learn from each other and promote each other, it will definitely make the domestic video websites develop better."

The reporter smiled and took back the microphone. "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for taking the time to accept the interview."

"You're welcome." Qin Shaoyan replied, "Please help me give your General Manager Zhang a hello when you go back."

"Of course, of course. I'll give you a message if I see what Mr. Zhang says." The reporter said a few polite words but didn't take it seriously at all.

He is just a small reporter from Sohu. How can he talk to the big boss?

Secretary Xiao Chen came over, gestured for the reporter to leave the office.

The reporter took a car back to Sohu headquarters, sat down at his workstation, turned on his computer and prepared to organize the content of today's interview.

Just after typing a few words, the editor-in-chief came over and asked, "Did you go to Qvod for an interview today?"

"Ah, yes." The reporter was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"

"Is the person being interviewed Mr. Qin?" the editor-in-chief asked again.

"Yes." The reporter asked cautiously, "What happened?" "Mr. Zhang wants to see you, come with me." The editor-in-chief said and turned to leave.

The reporter's heart skipped a beat. Why did Mr. Zhang, such a busy man, want to see him? Was there something wrong?
That's not right. The interview was decided by the editor-in-chief.

I waited for three days on Qvod.com before I caught up with Mr. Qin. Even if I didn't get any credit, I still worked hard.

The reporter was thinking wildly while following the editor-in-chief carefully. The two of them walked into the elevator and went straight to Zhang Chaoyang's office.

When I stepped into the office, I saw a strange-looking man sitting behind a large desk. He was the boss of Sohu.

Zhang Sohu scribbled a few words on the document, raised his head and glanced at the two people who came in, "Did you see Qin Shaoyan today?"

The reporter was startled and nodded quickly, "Yes, boss, I just came back from Qvod."

Zhang Sohu glanced at him, put down the pen in his hand, crossed his fingers and placed them on his stomach, "What did Qin Shaoyan say?"

The reporter recalled and said: "It's all official jargon. It should have been drafted a long time ago. There's nothing special about it."

Zhang Sohu glared at him, "I asked you what he said, is it just a cliché for you to say?!"

The reporter quickly took out a recorder and said, "Mr. Zhang, I recorded the entire interview."

"Give it here." Zhang Sohu made a gesture, took the recorder and pressed the play button.

The reporter and the editor-in-chief didn't dare to breathe and stood by quietly waiting.

Zhang Sohu listened to the interview with his eyes closed, and suddenly opened his eyes after a long while, "What else did he say after all this?"

"Well, he asked me to bring it to you." The reporter said quickly.

Zhang Sohu frowned, "He didn't mention the online game?"

"Ah?!" The reporter was stunned. The content of the interview was about video websites. What did it have to do with online games?
Zhang Sohu waved his hand impatiently, "You can go now."

The reporter didn't even dare to ask for the recorder and hurriedly turned around and left the boss's office.

……

More and more people have joined the "Anti-Qvod Alliance" group in the past few days, and nearly fifty websites have joined in.

Wang Wei of Tudou.com looked at the growing alliance with both joy and worry.

What makes me happy is that I am not alone in my path, but what makes me sad is that although we seem to have a lot of people, these people are still unable to form effective fighting power.

Watching the group becoming more and more lively, Wang Wei felt melancholy. He should do something to make it lively. Otherwise, a bunch of people would just chat here, which was useless. What was the point of forming an "Anti-Qvod Alliance"?

Tudou still has some funds on hand, which should be enough to support it until the fourth quarter, but that's all.

Wang Wei has already started thinking about how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

Opening up sources of revenue is nothing more than asking investors for money, but there are many ways to cut costs, such as cutting salaries, laying off employees, changing office locations, and saving on office expenses.

But there is no point in cutting costs. The real solution to the problem is to ask investors for money.

The more the better, at least tens of millions of dollars are needed, only then will Tudou be sure to surpass QVOD.

Now Wang Wei has only one issue to consider, which is how to convince investors to invest money in Tudou.
