Our Rise Era

Chapter 93 Can You Ban Me?

Chapter 93 Can You Ban Me? (The Third Update)
07 years.

China's video industry has entered an era of two kings coexisting.

There is [Aiku Video] in the south and [Dou Ni Video] in the north...

The video traffic of the two companies is comparable, and there is a lot of fighting between them both openly and covertly.

however……

By the second half of 07, the battle for the video platform had gradually begun to take shape.

The sudden subprime mortgage crisis in late 07 was an almost fatal blow to the Chinese video industry...

Investors realized that the turbulent international market was about to cause a catastrophe, so in the second half of the month, they gradually withdrew their funds from video websites...

For video websites with a single profit project, traffic is more like white clouds floating in the sky. Without the support of capital, there is no more money to buy more copyrights, which indirectly leads to the difficulty of video websites...

[Aiku Video] Withstood this wave of blows, desperately tried to find a way out, and found Zhang Yang...

As for Douni Video, due to its complex capital structure, it had not made any preparations before. This large-scale withdrawal of investment directly or indirectly led to a wave of layoffs at Douni Video. In the last month alone, more than 100 people were laid off...

After finally maintaining the situation...

Sun Hongsheng, the boss of Douni Video, realized that the traffic of Douni Video had run out of control...

When seeing how Aiku Video on the Internet had attracted so much traffic by using Zhang Yang’s “Bring You a Cut”, Sun Hongsheng instantly realized that this was a way out.

Although he knew that Aiku Video and Zhang Yang were working closely together, Sun Hongsheng never gave up contacting Zhang Yang...

Even on the phone, they told Zhang Yang in the simplest language that as long as Zhang Yang could come, they could give Zhang Yang the maximum amount of traffic, and even promised Zhang Yang to buy 30% of the shares of [Douni Video] at a very low price!
this era……

Traffic is king, data is king!
As long as the traffic can be maintained when capital withdraws, there will be hope to get back on the chessboard and compete with [Iku Video]!
"Mr. Zhang, I know that you and Aiku Video are working on the Xiaomai Mall project. I also know that there is a big gap between us and Aiku Video now. However, if you feel that the cooperation is unpleasant, or something else, I hope you can consider me! Mr. Zhang, let me be frank. I am waiting in Hangzhou now. With just one word from you, I can bring my technical team here for you to use for free! Although we laid off a lot of people last month due to funding issues, the people who stayed are all top-notch in terms of technology! Moreover, our capital is very clean now..."

"..."

In order to be able to cooperate with Zhang Yang!

Even on the evening of February 2, Sun Hongsheng still called Zhang Yang with great sincerity.

Although Zhang Yang's response was ambiguous, Sun Hongsheng had been waiting for Zhang Yang in the hotel...

As an entrepreneur from the countryside, he knows very well that he must be prepared for any opportunity in advance!
At this moment, he did not regard himself as the boss of [Dou Ni Video] who once called the wind and rain. On the contrary, he regarded himself as a collaborator who was in crisis and was waiting for the dawn!
After so much waiting, there is finally a turning point!

He waited for Zhang Yang’s call!
..........................................

【Xiaomi Mall】In the studio.

Sun Hongsheng moved into the office with a group of technical staff and the latest servers.

In fact...

Because the cooperation with [Aiku Video] has been terminated.

The original [Xiaomi Mall] and domain name are completely unusable.

They have to make a new framework!
From today to 7 am tomorrow, it will be difficult for [Wheat Mall] to be online in time...

Moreover, when the technical staff really took over the work of [Wheat Mall], they realized one thing...

That is, all the user information originally in [Xiaomi Mall] was taken away by the technical staff of [Aiku Video] or was completely cleared.

This means that users need to log in to the new website again and register a new user profile before they can buy...

"Mr. Zhang, you have made great sacrifices..." When Sun Hongsheng learned all this, he looked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang had no other expression on his face, but shook his head: "In the early stage of cooperation, no matter what happens, it is not a problem. The real problem is in the middle stage of cooperation, when there are many things to argue about. Mr. Sun, can we get it done in one night?"

"It can be done, no problem!" Sun Hongsheng glanced at the Internet and nodded immediately: "A reservation website does not require much technical content, but we need to restructure the server and system..."

"Okay..." Zhang Yang nodded.

"By the way, Mr. Zhang..." When Sun Hongsheng saw that the technical staff in the studio were working on the right track, he felt relieved and then looked at Zhang Yang.

"you say……"

"You should know the actual situation of our [Bean Paste Video], right?"

"Okay, I see. I've read the information you sent me." Zhang Yang nodded.

"Then, Mr. Zhang, if you think it's okay and you can accept our current situation, let's talk about cooperation?"

"Can you accept stock swap?" Zhang Yang laughed.

Sun Hongsheng was silent for a moment, then he forced a smile, with a silly look on his face: "You also know our situation. Now we are on the edge of a cliff. As long as we can survive, I can accept anything! We need traffic, I think you can give us traffic..."

"it is good!"

"However, it is Mr. Zhang. As far as I know, Mr. Zhao Mingyi is not only the boss behind [Aiku Video] on the Internet. He has also invested in many portal websites. Although he cannot affect the operation of these websites, it is still very easy to ban one person across the board..."

"Hehe, he can't ban me."

"You have a backup plan?"

"Let's have some tea first..."

"it is good!"

..........................................

11 pm.

Zhao Mingyi is gone.

At 12 o'clock, I returned to the headquarters of Aiku Video.

The first thing they did when they arrived at the headquarters was to have people remove all the recommendations for "Zhang Yang Takes You on a Cut" from [Aiku Video], and even blocked all the links and information about [Xiaomi Mall]. They even removed "Pope Immortal", an animation that ranked among the top three domestic animations, from the list.

Unless users search precisely for "Pope Superman" or words related to Zhang Yang...

Otherwise, you won't see any news about Zhang Yang in the website recommendations. After letting someone do all this, he sat in the office and recalled what Zhang Yang had said to him.

His face grew colder.

As a company with a valuation of over 1 billion and the largest traffic volume among Chinese video websites...

How could he possibly exchange shares with Zhang Yang?
He used a shell website to exchange for his [Aiku Video] traffic, and the ratio was one to one...

How can it be?

Are you a fool?

He lit a cigarette and smoked the whole thing, wondering why Zhang Yang suddenly had such a ridiculous idea...

I can only say that this person is really inflated!
I feel that I have a lot of traffic now, and I can use this traffic to ask for a sky-high price...

but!

How much of the traffic was pushed by him [Aiku Video] behind the scenes during the cooperation period?
【Bean paste video】?
Zhao Mingyi sneered.

Some time ago, he and the executives of Aiku Video even discussed the acquisition of Douni Video and the merger of the two video companies!
How could an outdated video website that is already struggling to survive and has no value in the capital circle possibly cause any waves?
"Dong dong!"

"Come in……"

"Boss Zhao, I heard that our cooperation with Zhang Yang has ended?"

"Yes."

"Then shall we..."

"From now on, any information related to Zhang Yang will be blocked on the Internet..."

"Do we have to ban everything? After all, we have cooperated with Zhang Yang's "Pope Immortal"..." The assistant was silent for a while, then looked at Zhao Mingyi.

"Block it. Let's see what kind of waves he can stir up after the traffic he is so proud of is blocked by the channel..." Zhao Mingyi's expression was a little cold. He put out his cigarette butt and looked out the window silently: "He is a talented person and could have accomplished something, but unfortunately, he is too greedy!"

Outside the window, the moon is like a hook.

Cold and chilly.

"it is good!"

..........................................

2 month 4 day.

Ding Rong woke up from his sleep.

He logged into the computer immediately and found that [Wheat Mall] had never recovered from the [downtime] from beginning to end.

Then, he discovered that the domain name of [Xiaomi Mall] had completely expired!
He was stunned, and then he clicked on [Aiku Video]...

He discovered something even more shocking.

The video "Zhang Yang takes you to cut with a knife" in [Aiku Video] has disappeared, and the link to [Xiaomi Video] has also disappeared.

Not only that, in the video, he found that the video he made yesterday, speaking for Zhang Yang, and even the video and account of [Capital Nightmare], were all banned overnight!

He was stunned!
Then, I found that the animation "Pope Man" had also disappeared from [Aiku Video]. If I didn't search for it and type the four words "Pope Man" in the search bar, I wouldn't be able to find this animation at all...

What happened?
He went to various platforms and found that all the information about Zhang Yang on some popular media websites had been banned overnight...

[Soudu Encyclopedia] The above information is still there, but I can no longer see Zhang Yang's search bar in the rankings. I remember that Zhang Yang was still in the top 50 yesterday...

this moment!
He wasn't sure what was going on!
But there is a very strange thought in my mind!
That is……

Could Zhang Yang have been banned?
Could it be...

Blocked by capital?
He logged into the Qdog group and found that some of the Qdog groups he had joined were also banned due to suspected activities...

In addition, some websites had accounts with many fans, and it seemed that they were all banned overnight.

This……

Isn’t the force too scary?

Make public!

Was it really blocked by capital?

this moment……

He became more certain of his idea!

Just as Ding Rong was asking...

Suddenly I heard a piece of news.

"In [Douniu Video]... someone seems to have leaked a recording, which seems to be a recording of Zhang Yang and [Aiku Video] Zhao Mingyi..."

"..."

"It seems that Zhao Mingyi wanted to forcefully buy Zhang Yang's company, but was rejected..."
