Chapter 445 The Greatest Enemy! (The third update asks for completeness! Ask for a monthly pass!)
"Tudou.com has undergone tremendous changes, and Hantang Media has become the largest shareholder!"

"Hantang Media has invested in Tudou. Can the former second largest video website in China come back to life?"

"Following the head's marriage change, Tudou.com has another mishap!"

"According to our reporter, Hantang Media Group has recently acquired 21.3% of the shares of Tudou.com from Singapore's Temasek Holdings, and has become the largest single shareholder of Tudou.com!"

"The billion-dollar director made another move, and the territory of Hantang Entertainment expanded again!"

"The first share of the former video website was acquired by Tang An, and Tang An created a pan-entertainment circle!"

"Bang Tudou is back on the market, and it is expected to land on Nasdaq before the end of the year!"

"Small and big, the snake in the capital market, Hantang Media acquired Tudou!"

After all, Hantang Media was only established a little bit later, and Tudou is indeed the second largest video website in China. This acquisition case stunned everyone's attention.

You must know that Tudou was established earlier than Youku, and it was also the first video website to receive financing of millions of dollars or tens of millions of dollars.

Even Tudou submitted its listing application to the NYSE a few days earlier than Youku.

Although everything was destroyed by Wang Wei's wife, in the end the title of Huaguo video website's first stock was taken away by Youku, and its market value has reached 38 billion US dollars.

There must be more people who know Tudou than Hantang Media. Compared with Youku's market value, the two are not at the same size at all.

The common people didn't think so much. Tang An's reputation was no less than that of Tudou.com, so he could only call 666 for it.

"Tang An is amazing, he has become a capitalist and made a fortune!"

""Edge of Tomorrow" has a global box office of 2.6 million U.S. dollars. It must be rich. Buying 22% of Tudou's shares is nothing."

"What kind of dog capitalist, hurry back to the main business, the next movie hasn't started yet, do you want me to wait until 12 years?"

"2012 is the end of the world, don't wait upstairs."

"Damn it, it's already January, if we don't shoot, will we still be able to catch up with the New Year's Eve this year!"

"What kind of film is this time, comedy, action, adventure or something?"

"Let's make a sci-fi movie. Although the mechs in "Edge of Tomorrow" are a little something, it's not enough to make Iron Man shiver, but it can be combined with a war movie. It's interesting to think about it."

"Let's make a comedy. Tell me, when will the next part of "Lost in Thailand" be produced? Is there any news?"

The topic soon turned to Tang An's next movie. It has already been one month now, except for two or three months of preparation, three or four months of shooting, and three or four months of post-production, so it won't be until next year.

This time it still aroused widespread speculation, and the audience was wondering what type of Tang An's next film would be.

Compared with the shock of the media and the melons of the masses, the industry is equally happy, especially these opponents.

For the Huayi Brothers Group, Wang Zhongjun saw the news from the news, and the first thing he thought was that it was not good. After several major portal websites also broke out, he even made a special phone call to ask whether the news was true or not.

"This Tang An is arrogant and ignorant, and he can play video sites!" Wang Zhongjun laughed disdainfully, even the loss of "If You Are the One 2" is not so depressed.

Wang Zhonglei also shook his head, "He probably got jealous when he saw Youku's listing, but he didn't think that Tudou has not solved its internal problems, and the institutions that intend to invest in video websites are also eyeing Youku. It would be nice if he could drink some soup. gone."

"You are still young, how do you know how to do business? In less than a year, his little money is not enough to burn."

Similar to the reaction of the two brothers, Wang Changtian and Yu Dong also breathed a sigh of relief.

The video website is definitely a bottomless pit. This is no different from the portal websites. The text and beautiful photos of the four major portals take up very little bandwidth, but the video is much larger than this.

The short film "A Murder Caused by a Steamed Bun" that first became popular on video sites was only 20 minutes long and has tens of megabytes, which is already the limit of the video site's spread.

In 2006, Google acquired YouTube for US$16.5 billion. Since then, Google has not been able to make YouTube profitable, but has paid billions of US dollars in online copyright fees.

As far as Tang An's family property is concerned, it will be wiped out in a short time. The cost of film and television production will definitely be less, and they will have one less opponent.

However, Han Sanping was a little unhappy. He helped Tang An to put on the two shows through his connections. He took a fancy to Tang An's ability to open up overseas markets and raised the ceiling of the mainland film market to 10 billion. It was also true for him. A huge achievement.

Han Sanping was thinking about when to talk to Tang An, telling him not to be so aggressive, and to manage the film and television business first.

Tang An, the center of public opinion, has also been very busy these days. First, he met with Wang Wei, talked for a whole morning about the development plan of the future video website, and bought 700% of his shares at a price of 3.4 million US dollars. As compensation for his ex-wife, he still retains 10% of the shares.

Then I contacted several other shareholders, but they do not interfere with the company's operations, and they are purely angel investors.

On February 2, Tang An held a press conference at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Now that the Lunar New Year holiday is almost over, and there is still some time before the release of the next blockbuster movie, Han Tang's acquisition of Tudou shares and becoming a major shareholder is almost considered a big news in the entertainment circle recently.

A lot of media came to the scene, and Tang An also invited the top ten domestic video sites.

None of the other shareholders came, only Tang An, Wang Wei, and Zhou You were on stage.

Tang An was not an angel investor. As a major shareholder, he wanted to interfere in the operation of Tudou.com, and arranged Zhou You to serve as the vice president and COO of Tudou. He was the number two figure above the other vice presidents.

Of course, Wang Wei is still the CEO.

The press conference was mainly to answer questions from the media, such as why Tudou was acquired, as well as the film and television business and new films.

At the press conference, Tang An also announced the listing plan, which will be officially listed on NASDAQ in the next year.

A series of procedures and audits have been completed before, but it was temporarily put on hold. Now that the divorce case has been resolved privately, the listing can naturally be launched quickly.

After the press conference, Tang An sat down with the presidents of nearly ten domestic video sites.

In the big conference room of the hotel, Youku Gu Yongjiang, Sixth Room Liu Yan, LeTV Jia Leting, Ai Qiyi Gong Yu and others were all waiting for Tang An to speak, to see why the great director invited them over.

"Everyone, all of you sitting here are the leaders of domestic video sites, and they are also the top companies in this industry. In the future, YouTube in Huaguo must also be born on the heads of us." Tang An looked at them and said with a smile.

A few people didn't care about Tang An's flattery, and they secretly wondered what this young man who came across the industry wanted to do.

Tang An changed his voice, and continued, "However, there is still one biggest enemy standing in front of us!"
