My Age of Investment

Murdoch suddenly mentioned the oil pipe, which startled Xia Jing.

Why did the oil pipe fall into the hands of the old man? It became a bargaining chip he used to exchange benefits.

Not only Xia Jingxing's mind was full of thoughts, but the foreign girl was also thinking with a calm face.

Ten seconds later, the two looked at each other, and both saw the answer from the other's expression.

"Mr. Murdoch, YouTube has been actively communicating with major content producers regarding copyright matters.

You can't just see a user uploading a video owned by the copyright owner, but also see the user's secondary processing, which plays a role in publicity and exposure of the original content.

This is not a bad thing for the copyright owner. There is an old saying in China, "If you lose your horse, you will never know it is a blessing"..."

After speaking, Xia Jingxing explained the Chinese allusion to the old man Murdoch.

"Interesting, lost a horse, but finally brought back a group of horses."

After Murdoch mentioned something about YouTube, he stopped being aggressive, but eased his expression, patiently listened to the Chinese idiom story told by Xia Jingxing, and began to comment with a smile.

Xia Jingxing shrugged, "That's right, Mr. Murdoch, News Corporation owns Twentieth Century Fox. This content production company seems to have not received copyright fees from Youtube, but in fact it has used Youtube, the world's largest video platform, to The brand and influence have been enhanced on a global scale.

If other merchants want to get the same promotion opportunities, they have to pay advertising fees to Youtube. "

Murdoch spread his hands, "Sorry, young man, I have only seen countless people using our copyright without restriction, but did not pay us a cent for the copyright.

As for the advertising campaign you mentioned..."

Speaking of this, Murdoch stopped, chuckled twice, and looked at Xia Jingxing with a playful look, "Twentieth Century Fox was established in 1935. It used to be the eight major Hollywood film studios, and now it is the sixth major film studio.

We have classics like Alien, Star Wars, Titanic, and more.

Movie lovers all over the world should know the name of our company, YouTube promotes us...

Hehe, I think it’s the tubing that needs us more. "

Seeing that the babe wanted to speak, Murdoch raised his hand to stop her and said, "Don't rush to refute. If you don't believe me, you can try what happens if Youtube doesn't allow you to upload copyrighted videos? Will users protest, or even flee from this online video platform? .

Instead, MySpaceVideo will allow users to upload copyrighted videos. What kind of scene would this be? "

Murdoch still had something to say, and he didn't plan to say it for the time being, and gave the choice to the two young people sitting opposite.

They are smart kids who should make the right choices.

Xia Jingxing fell silent, because of the copyright issue, several major film giants had a quarrel last year, and countless letters were sent to Youtube every day, demanding that Youtube take down the relevant infringing videos and apologize.

While YouTube is actively communicating with several major film giants to stabilize this group of people, it is also quickly looking for solutions.

The final solution is to limit the video time to less than fifteen minutes, preventing users from uploading a complete movie.

On the other hand, YouTube has also developed a copyright video screening system, but the technology is still not in place, and the screening effect is not ideal.

As for manual review, even if you sell YouTube, you can’t support so many content reviewers.

Xia Jingxing has always been very worried about this problem, because he didn't want to give others a reason, but some things cannot be solved or avoided by taking precautions in advance.

After Google acquired Youtube in the previous life, it has been plagued by copyright issues.

The six major Hollywood film giants are not soft persimmons. They have a strong legal team, and they can also spend a lot of money to hire lawyers and lobbying teams to play this capital game slowly.

In addition, there are parent companies and brother companies behind the six major film giants, all of which are media companies such as radio, TV stations, and newspapers, and have a strong ability to guide public opinion.

Take Murdoch as an example.

Every British prime minister has made good friends with this media tycoon, because it’s impossible not to make good friends. The unscrupulous "Sun" and "The Times" will turn the politicians' gossip upside down.

Murdoch is indeed a world-wide media tycoon, and Xia Jingxing felt the pressure when he showed his fangs a little.

This kind of media tycoon is different from Li Cucumber, and they are difficult to deal with. If you underestimate them, you will only suffer big losses.

However, Xia Jingxing did not act cowardly, and said very calmly: "Facebook is a company founded by the two of us, we have devoted countless sweat and youth, and selling the company has already touched our bottom line.

I think, if someone told Mr. Murdoch, I want to spend 50 billion dollars to buy News Corporation, how would you feel? "

"Then I might be happy that I can finally unload this burden."

Murdoch said with a smile, "But unfortunately, no one is willing to give me such a good opportunity to cash out."

Xia Jingxing was on fire in his heart, and Murdoch made it clear that he wanted to force him to agree to the deal with the copyright issue.

Copyright is actually just an obvious thing. If it really comes to court, the hidden competition is the resource and political wrestling behind it.

Murdoch was naturalized in the United States, and has significant influence in the Commonwealth of Nations. He has been in business for decades, and I am afraid that he has already woven a particularly strong relationship network at the top.

In this regard, it is his shortcoming. His foundation in the United States is too shallow, or he has no foundation at all.

The face of the foreign girl changed. On the way here, Darren once told her the allusion of "Hongmen Banquet". She was also worried at first, but the subsequent attitude of the Murdochs dispelled some of her vigilance, but now This scene that happened undoubtedly confirmed Dai Lun's guess, it was really a feast.

"Mr. Murdoch, if we agree to your plan, what can we do to settle the other movie giants?"

As soon as the foreign girl finished speaking, Murdoch shook his head, "You don't have to worry about this matter, News Corporation will help you solve everything."

Xia Jingxing felt that what Yang Niu said made sense, if every movie giant was brought in, Facebook would be divided up directly, so what else would they do.

As for Murdoch's talk of settling everything, Xia Jingxing didn't believe him, and might have sold them out.

The scene became quiet, no one spoke, only the sound of the mountain wind blowing outside the window, and the rustling of leaves.

"Daren, you can answer me in a hurry, let me tell you one more thing, Mr. Redstone from Viacom, Mr. Ron Miller from Walt Disney, Howard Stringer from Sony Columbia Sir, Mr. Bob Wright of NBCUniversal, Mr. Barry Meyer of Time Warner, they have all contacted me."

Murdoch paused, and said in a very peaceful and natural tone: "They heard that Facebook is going to raise funds, and they plan to join forces to ask you for a long-overdue copyright fee.

They want our 20th Century Fox to join, but I haven't replied to them yet, I want to talk to you first.

I heard that there is an old saying in your country that peace is the most important thing. "

This is a naked threat!

The former eight Hollywood film giants, MGM and Columbia were acquired by Sony, so there are only six left.

Nowadays, quite a few of the six major universities have come to "collect debts" from him. The timing of the selection is so coincidental that it happens to be a critical period for Facebook to conduct a new round of financing.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "Then I'll give them 30% of each company's shares, which isn't enough!"

Murdoch waved his hand, "As I said, you don't have to worry about this matter. If News Corporation becomes the major shareholder of Facebook, I can solve this matter very well."

"We can't solve it ourselves?"

Murdoch looked into Xia Jingxing's eyes, "You really can't do this."

The old man gave the foreign girl another look, "She can't either."

Xia Jingxing knew that the old man's subtext was that he and the foreign girl had too little foundation in the United States, no matter whether it was in the business or political circles, they didn't know anyone who could speak their minds.

Facebook has developed to this day, and its potential has gradually emerged, and it has naturally attracted the attention of a bunch of vultures.
