Our Rise Era

Chapter 94 Crazy and surging navy!
This year's financial crisis is an opportunity for Zhao Mingyi.

The financial crisis has led to the arrival of a capital winter, with large amounts of capital falling into turmoil and no longer daring to invest.

When companies that do not see profits in the short term lose the support of capital, what they ultimately have to compete on is foundation and hard power.

In the past one or two months, dozens of small and medium-sized video websites have fallen into turmoil.

Even its former competitor [Douniu Video] came to an end in this catastrophe!

As the only video website in the market with a valuation of over one billion, it is already in an advantageous position in the competition of this video war.

However, Zhao Mingyi felt that it was far from enough!
He didn't feel satisfied!
His goal is not 1 billion, but 4 billion, or even more than 5 billion...

He has a clear positioning for his own [Aiku Video]. In 08, he wants to surpass his competitors at the same time and truly establish the throne of the number one video website in China...

At the same time, we will integrate various small and medium-sized video websites this year, and make the most beautiful IPO on the eve of 2010, taking [Aiku Video] to the US for listing, becoming the first Chinese video website to be listed in the US...

August 2 at noon.

The first thing Zhao Mingyi did when he woke up from bed...

It is to gather all the teams and start discussing the next [acquisition] plan.

at present……

Zhao Mingyi’s company and the capital on hand far exceed 10 billion!
In this era of capital cold wave, China's small and medium-sized video websites are living in dire straits.

While they are still in the process of recovering, we should integrate these small and medium-sized video websites as soon as possible, and absorb their traffic into Aiku Video in various ways, so as to finally establish our absolute dominance in the field of Chinese video websites!
At the same time, they also conducted a series of discussions on the major copyright markets in China and decided to make drastic changes to integrate the concept of IP through the concept of the Internet to further attract a large wave of traffic...

The meeting lasted until the evening...

When everyone leaves...

Zhao Mingyi returned to the office with excitement.

While I was looking at the traffic data of various websites again and again, thinking about how to integrate the negotiations, there was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Zhao, today our [Aiku Video] daily traffic has dropped by nearly 100 million..."

"Did everyone go to [Dou Ni Video]?"

"Yes! Since noon today, there has been a huge uproar on the Internet against us [Aiku Video]. Some people have spoken up for Zhang Yang in public, saying that Zhang Yang has been banned!"

"Ok?"

"Capital Nightmare has come out to stir up trouble again. He published a nearly 15-word article accusing Zhang Yang... In fact, it's not just Capital Nightmare. In the Internet media, there are nearly accounts with more than followers who also stood on our side and spoke for us at the same time. However, the weird thing is that this time, Internet users didn't buy it..."

"..."

When Zhao Mingyi heard this, he frowned.

Immediately afterwards...

He saw a series of hot searches that suddenly appeared in the forum and attracted nearly hundreds of thousands of followers.

When Zhao Mingyi saw these trending searches, his face changed slightly, especially when he saw the [Dou Ni Video], which exposed a chat recording between him and Zhang Yang...

It even pushed himself to the forefront!

"If this is your final decision, I will immediately remove the technical staff of [Wheat Mall] and cancel our previous cooperation, even including "Pope Man" and the future "Armor Man"..."

"Then you are in breach of contract..."

"I can also not breach the contract and not recommend traffic to you at all..."

"This is your choice, I have no right to interfere..."

"it is good!"

After seeing this chat recording, Zhao Mingyi's eyes turned cold!

Immediately afterwards...

Saw the video again.

It was Zhang Yang who contacted me, and it was a video of me chatting with Zhang Yang in the office!
....................................

2 month 4 day.

On the Internet, countless netizens who supported Zhang Yang found that overnight, they could not see any news about Zhang Yang, and they could not see the so-called "Xiaomi Mall" website at all.

At first, netizens did not think much about it, thinking that there were too many people rushing to buy the [Xiaomi 1] mobile phone, which flooded the [Xiaomi Mall].

but……

It was not until a not-so-clear video and emotional conversation were exposed that everyone suddenly realized one thing!

That is!
Zhang Yang was really banned!
The video was cut off from the beginning and the end, and was exposed by a mysterious netizen.

In the video, Zhang Yang looked silent and obviously oppressed, but Zhao Mingyi's tone was pressing and murderous, and he said something like [I can also not breach the contract and not give you any traffic recommendations at all...]!
These words……

Let countless people realize one thing!

That is!
【Banned! 】

block!

Not unfamiliar.

This term has existed in the entertainment industry a long time ago.

that time……

The publicity channels in the entertainment industry are very limited, basically relying on television, newspapers and various entertainment weeklies. If a big shot in the entertainment industry wants to ban a small star, he or she only needs to give a word, stop these publicity reports, and then restrict the artist's access to more resources, and the artist's popularity will gradually fade.

In the Internet age, there are more media channels, and "banning" is a little more difficult, but for some companies that are closely involved with capital, it is very simple.

Yesterday! [Capital Nightmare] An extremely low-level evaluation, as well as licking various Japanese brands, made countless people begin to suspect that Zhang Yang was suppressed by Japanese capital!

However, many netizens are skeptical and there is no so-called substantial evidence!
And today, when this video came out, the popularity exploded instantly!
Immediately afterwards...

【Zhang Yang was blocked by capital! 】

[How difficult is it for ordinary people to start a business! ]

【He just wanted to bring us cheaper phones, what did he do wrong? 】

[China is so big, can't it accommodate a Zhang Yang? ]

[Revelation! [Aiku Video] intends to forcibly acquire [Xiaomi 1] mobile phone, and [Xiaomi Mall] behind [Xiaomi] 1! ]

[Exposure! [Aiku Video] CEO Zhao Mingyi has shares in all major social platforms. Some staff members of some social platforms secretly revealed that they received a death order yesterday to ban Zhang Yang and his works...]

【…】

When more and more accounts spontaneously came out to "reveal" the details of Zhang Yang's ban, countless netizens began to make associations.

From December, from that instant noodle factory, to Popeye the Superman, to the current mobile phone...

More and more details, like clues, are woven into very clear story truths!
"I rely on!"

"I was wondering why all the news about Zhang Yang disappeared overnight. If I hadn't searched for it, I wouldn't have found anything at all!"

"Yeah, that's right!"

“I found another account!”

"These accounts are very strange... In this public opinion, they openly speak for Aiku Video, saying that there is no such thing as a ban. Even that Capital Nightmare has appeared to speak for Aiku Video. I found that among these accounts that spoke for Aiku Video, almost all of them were praising Aiku Video half a month ago. Several accounts indirectly or directly belittled Zhang Yang, saying that Zhang Yang is the luckiest person in the world to be able to cooperate with Aiku Video..."

"I saw it too!"

"..."

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

"Boss Zhao, this seems to be a premeditated propaganda war..."

"We have previously blocked some inexplicable, ostentatious accounts..."

"However, we did not touch those accounts that were belittling Zhang Yang. However, no one expected that these accounts that had once belittled Zhang Yang would be exposed by netizens and all of them were related to us. During this period, they basically praised our [Aiku Video] in various ways, doing a lot of things to belittle and praise Zhang Yang..."

"Especially the newly registered accounts, which have been cursing [Dou Ni Video] since yesterday. Their acting is really poor to the extreme!"

"..."

7 o'clock in the evening.

The public opinion on the Internet seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

Zhao Mingyi sat in his office chair, staring at the secretary as he provided a series of account numbers.

Several of the most prominent accounts that were used to flatter and praise others seemed to have different IP addresses, but the technical staff of Aiku Video quickly figured out all the addresses of these accounts!

Some are from [Songxiang County], some are from [Taifeng County], and some are from [Hangzhou]!
What do these addresses have in common?

These are all places where Zhang Yang has stayed during this period!

He instantly realized that these accounts were all created by Zhang Yang. In fact, it was very likely that Zhang Yang was behind all these accounts, leading all kinds of public opinions!

"These accounts have made countless netizens think that we have them! But Mr. Zhao, I swear to God, we really don't have them. Moreover, with our current scale, we don't need to do these clumsy tricks!"

"..."

Zhao Mingyi stared at these accounts...

The more he looked, the more gloomy his face became!

He finally closed his eyes and looked out the window.

"Boss Zhao, should we publish the news about these accounts and directly expose the truth?"

"Who would believe these truths? Who would believe that Zhang Yang created these accounts all by himself and started to curse himself since December... Would you believe it if it were you? Moreover, it might just make Zhang Yang more popular!"

"..."

Zhao Mingyi gritted his teeth!
Finally he shook his head.

It has been almost ten years since he started his business!

but……

He had never encountered such a weird way of playing in his life!
After calming down, he narrowed his eyes and said, "We must reduce the level of discussion. It's best to deal with it in silence..."

"But, if we keep silent, wouldn't all this traffic be sucked into [Dou Ni Video] by Zhang Yang? Based on my understanding of Zhang Yang, he's just a low-class thug who can do anything! He's not afraid of wearing shoes even if he's barefoot..."

"..."

When he heard this, Zhao Mingyi felt a little headache.

With the current size of Aiku Video, it doesn't matter what we do, but if we run into a jerk...

“How much traffic does [Dou Ni Video] have now?”

"From this morning till now, the price has increased by nearly 1.5 million! This number is still rising..."

"..."

"Boss Zhao, it seems that Zhang Yang is live streaming on Douni Video! My god, his so-called live streaming room seems to have attracted over 200,000 people all of a sudden! Wait, what is this guy doing!"

"..."
