The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 344

"Why don't you let us help you clarify?"

Liu Yifei leaned her hands on the armrests of Zhang Chen's sofa, stared into Zhang Chen's eyes, and asked very seriously.

She was almost furious when she saw the comments online that slandered Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen has done so much for them over the years, and this is how these people treat Zhang Chen?

If there were no Zhang Chen, would people abroad respect their country's music?

If there were no Zhang Chen, would foreign singers attach so much importance to the Chinese market?
If it weren't for Zhang Chen, could China have won so many Grammy trophies?
If it weren't for Zhang Chen, we wouldn't know when we would be able to hear songs online, and we wouldn't know what kind of miserable lives those musicians with dreams would be living.

Those who say that charging 10 yuan a month for a music platform is expensive don’t even look at how much is charged abroad. Now Zhang Chen is operating the domestic platform at a loss.

People say Zhang Chen has a monopoly, but what about those pirated resource websites that can be found in large numbers when you search on Baidu?

The servers of those websites are not located in China, and even the capitalists in the United States cannot attack them.

Besides, why should people give away their hard-earned works for free just because of your words? Just because you are shameless, just because you are poor, you are right, and the whole world should support you?
Also, some people say that Zhang Chen’s charity is fake charity, but don’t you see how much real money Zhang Chen has donated?

The $2 million is real money.

Even if this money was not used for the people, the $16 billion charitable foundation did help many people in the country overcome difficulties.

Not to mention, some time ago Zhang Chen kindly took out all the money he earned from making movies, a total of 100 million US dollars to help those who were cheated by unscrupulous hospitals.

Zhang Chen could have ignored all this, but he did it anyway and never asked for anything in return.

Liu Yifei is not sure whether any of those who cursed online have received help from Zhang Chen. If so, it would be really not worth it.

Also, there are reports that Zhang Chen has an unclear relationship with the United States. If that is true, does Zhang Chen need to take two planes every time he goes to the United States?

Is it necessary to arrange so many bodyguards at home, and they are all armed with real guns?

If Zhang Chen really has any connection with that place, he shouldn't be living such a comfortable life there!
Based on Liu Yifei's limited knowledge and the worldview she has built over the past ten years, there was nothing wrong with Zhang Chen doing this!
So she was really furious when she saw those netizens following suit and slandering Zhang Chen.

"How to clarify?" Zhang Chen poked Liu Yifei's puffy cheek.

"Hold a press conference!"

"and then?"

"First of all, you wrote all those songs yourself."

"Hmm, what next?"

“Then you say you protect copyright for the benefit of the creator.”

“So how do I respond when consumers want cheaper or even free resources?”

"This"

Liu Yifei was stumped by Zhang Chen's question.

It seems like it’s human nature to get something for free?
"Then let's not explain this first. Prove that you have money first. Domestic music platforms are operating at a loss!"

"In this case, what will happen to overseas consumers?"

"Yes, if foreign consumers knew that they had been exploited for such a long time and I had to subsidize domestic users, what would they think?"

"This"

Liu Yifei was stuck again when asked by Zhang Chen.

This seems to be a problem as well.

Leeks cannot know that they are leeks, otherwise they will rebel.

"Then let's not talk about this!" Liu Yifei waved her hands in annoyance and gave up the topic again. "Go and prove that you are caring about the country. Don't let those people slander you as a... a what-not!"

Liu Yifei was too embarrassed to say that word.

She felt that saying this word was disrespectful to Zhang Chen and was too bad.

"Yeah, I did do a lot of practical things, but what about my fans in other countries?"

"Why do you care about those people?"

Zhang Chen was amazed. He didn't expect Liu Yifei to be so smart.
"Then I have worked in vain for so many years?" Zhang Chen propped up his chin and looked at Liu Yifei helplessly, "Besides, even if I am willing to do this, those people are not happy."

When Zhang Chen said this, he pointed upwards.

It is so hard to find such a young person in the world who is capable, talented, influential, and more importantly, has a heart.

If Zhang Chen said he wanted to give up the overseas market, they would be the first to oppose it.

"You" Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Chen dejectedly, "You are so tired of living."

"It's okay." When he was barefoot, he dared to talk back to everything and speak out directly when he encountered something unpleasant.

But as he accumulated more wealth, more people depended on him for their livelihood, and certain factors required a higher proportion of his influence, so he began to live cautiously.

If he were just a star like Jackie Chan, then it would be a good thing for him to show his patriotism, as it would make people in the entertainment industry look up to him.

But the key is that he is still an entrepreneur with businesses abroad.

With this identity, those who want to recruit him will have to carefully consider at what point Zhang Chen should be suppressed.

His age now is a perfect disguise, allowing those people to have the possibility of "naturalizing" him and making concessions on some things to win him over.

If he did as Liu Yifei said, he would immediately face all-round blockade.

Not to mention the distant past, let’s just talk about the recent acquisition of Pixar by Disney.

Now there is still a great possibility that he will follow the original path, that is, share swap, and he will eventually obtain Disney shares and become one of Disney's shareholders.

If he does as Liu Yifei says, Disney will try every means to lose his shares.

Indeed, it is very tiring.

"What should I do?"

Liu Yifei fell forward, her whole body pressed into Zhang Chen's arms: "Are you just going to let me watch you being slandered and defamed? Can't we fight back?"

She really couldn't think of any good solution.

"Why?" Liu Yifei muttered softly.

Why?
Zhang Chen gently stroked the little girl's back and thought about the question carefully.

Maybe because he's a good guy?
But soon, someone spoke for him, and it was an authority.

On July 7, the "Administrative Protection Measures for Internet Copyright" was officially implemented.

The measures stipulate that Internet information service providers will be given the opportunity to be exempted from liability if the automatic service does not change the service content at the request of ordinary Internet users.

If a copyright owner finds that content disseminated online infringes his or her copyright, he or she may notify the Internet service provider, and the service provider shall immediately terminate the link and delete the infringing content.

Otherwise, the Ministry of Information Industry or telecommunications management agencies at all levels may impose a fine of no more than 3 yuan on them.

Thirty thousand yuan doesn't seem to matter.

But how many such links are there on Baidu?
Ten thousand? One hundred thousand? One million?
If we take into account the creative content of all creators and add the influence of a single work's popularity and popularity, the amount of pirated content will increase dramatically.

Over the years, it is an understatement to say that there are tens of millions of pirated links on the entire Internet.

Thirty thousand for one, how much would ten million be?
How many posts can Baidu delete in a day?
This thing didn’t cause any waves when it came out before, but Baidu’s stock price soared as soon as it was listed.

It also made those who held Baidu stocks earn a lot of money.

But now.
How will a company that owes billions of dollars develop in the future?

If you don’t want to owe this money, you have to cancel the links one by one.

If they do this, the technical staff of their company will not have to do anything for several years.

If the link is not removed, Zhang Chen will cause Baidu to face at least 100 lawsuits every day in the future.

"When is the best time to start trouble?"

Zhang Chen held a large pile of information in his hands, which was just the tip of the iceberg of the links that could be found for his own songs on Baidu.

No one dared to sue Baidu before, but now he does.

No one had the energy to collect these before, but now he does.

Zhang Chen thought for a long time in the study, and finally called Xue Yining: "When Love is released on the 12th of next month, please announce what I have."

With all these things in hand, coupled with the disgust caused by the "easter eggs" in "Love", and the overlap between Baidu's future development plan and the developed business of Firefox browser, he had in his hand.

Baidu's stock price and peak price after its IPO are already a foregone conclusion.

What he needs to do now is to take advantage of this opportunity to borrow as many Baidu shares as possible from the brokerage firm.

After such a long tug-of-war, he would only have the last ten days to see how much he could gain.

"I hope you can stay stable these days." Zhang Chen smiled happily.

Short selling is just the beginning.

When he was dying, he would use the knife.

Bone transplant surgery, would you like to know more?
