My Age of Investment

"Mr. Lei Shidong, I have another plan."

Xia Jingxing's opening attracted the eyes of Gates and Lei Shidong.

"Youtube is an original content platform. Although some video content is not user-generated, but comes from film and television drama clips, in general, the tonality of our platform is still inclined to user-generated content, sharing your own life."

Lei Shidong did not speak. He admitted that it was not that serious that YouTube violated their copyrights, but he just wanted to touch porcelain. The United States has its own national conditions. Everyone plays like this, and he can't avoid it.

Xia Jingxing put aside his personal emotions and likes and dislikes, and introduced the oil pipe to Lei Shidong seriously.

"Okay, Daren, you don't need to say it. Although I am over eighty years old, I still know a little about the Internet."

Lei Shidong smiled, "Actually, I'm also curious. The video content on Youtube is so chaotic and the quality of the video is poor, not to mention the shooting technology. Why do so many people like it?"

Xia Jingxing didn't answer this question, and said with a smile: "Youtube actually only represents one of the development directions of video, and I have always had a new entrepreneurial direction.

I want to move news, interviews, serials, music, concerts, movies and other video programs to the Internet, helping users find and enjoy professional media content at any time, anywhere and in any way. "

A short introduction that reveals a lot.

Before Redstone could react, Gates couldn't help asking: "Daren, what you mean is that the new video platform abandons the content uploaded by Internet users and loads all the content from TV and movies into one website. "

"That's right!"

Speaking of this new entrepreneurial project, Xia Jingxing's whole demeanor changed instantly, and his tone became very contagious.

"This is a completely different video platform from Youtube, and Youtube just represents two extremes.

At the same time, this is also a piece of unnoticed virgin land, just waiting for people to open up the market. "

Lei Shidong finally came to his senses at this time, "It's equivalent to building an "Internet Hollywood", isn't that right?"

Xia Jingxing snapped his fingers, "That's right! First of all, this new platform does not need to pay video bloggers a penny of advertising revenue, and all the advertising revenue and subscription revenue will belong to the company, and the profit model is very clear.

Secondly,

All users of the platform are viewers, and ordinary users are not allowed to upload videos, which is different from YouTube.

In the end, this is definitely the video platform that best integrates with traditional media, and can give full play to the strengths of traditional media in producing professional content.

The current video market is very chaotic, and this new video platform has its own characteristics - "the easiest way to watch the highest quality video with the best experience".

Relying on this feature, it will definitely be able to fight a bloody way in the video melee, and it is possible to compete with YouTube, and even make profits earlier than YouTube. "

"Earlier profit than YouTube?" Lei Shidong was dubious.

Xia Jingxing briefly explained the terrifying bandwidth of Youtube. The new platform does not allow ordinary users to upload videos, which can save a lot of bandwidth expenses.

Lei Shidong nodded, "This requires a lot of professional content production companies to authorize and cooperate with your new project?"

"Yes, the content is the key!" Xia Jingxing admitted frankly, because he couldn't hide it.

Lei Shidong laughed loudly, "Daren, you tell me this today, you are not afraid that I will copy your entrepreneurial project."

Xia Jingxing deliberately showed disdain, "Since I dare to speak out, I am not afraid of being copied by others, so what if I know the idea, whether it can be realized in the end depends on the specific execution.

It is no exaggeration to say that looking at the United States and the whole world, no one understands video websites better than me. "

Lei Shidong laughed lightly, not only for Xia Jingxing's youth and frivolity, but also for the big pie that fell from the sky.

He had his own judgment in his mind. The new platform mentioned by the young man in front of him seemed to be tailor-made for Viacom, and it could give full play to their content advantages.

They may not be able to engage in Internet technology and functional innovation, but when it comes to content production, Viacom is definitely a master.

"Daren, the new plan you mentioned is to invite Viacom to cooperate with you on new entrepreneurial projects?"

Xia Jingxing nodded towards Lei Shidong, "Of course."

Noticing that Gates' complexion was not very good, Xia Jingxing added, "Not only our two families, but also Waterfall Investment."

Gates looked up and met Xia Jingxing's eyes. The latter said, "Mr. Gates, you have been trying to diversify your investment. You might as well bet on our new project. Its commercial potential may still be above the oil pipeline."

Seeing Xia Jingxing's sincere eyes, Gates felt distressed, smiled and nodded, he didn't want to talk.

Redstone asked: "If Viacom becomes a shareholder of this company, will the other five not license content to us?"

"So, it's better to bring them in."

Xia Jingxing stared at Lei Shidong, "Otherwise we would not be able to monopolize most of the high-quality content in the market, we would not be able to form our own moat, and it would be easy for others to follow suit.

Of course, we can also only cooperate with Viacom, but Mr. Redstone, you can think about it, if you were a user, what choice would you make? Several other giants are sure to launch their own video platforms as well. "

Lei Shidong pondered for a moment. According to his understanding of several old rivals, it is not impossible to follow suit, and then several companies fought in chaos, messing up the market.

"Daren, it's not that you want to use this platform to promote reconciliation between everyone and YouTube?"

Although the old man was old, his mind was clear and he saw through Xia Jingxing's real purpose in no time.

Xia Jingxing smiled, "That's right, this is the result I want, since everyone can work together to make money, there is no need to fight to the death.

YouTube is ruined by you, and no one can make a profit, except Murdoch.

He owns MySpace Video, he makes the most money by killing YouTube, and you get nothing. "

Xia Jingxing analyzed the situation very thoroughly. If this is the case, Lei Shidong will be the gunman for others, and he can't help it. Let's continue together.

But if they can divide the big six in Hollywood, they will face much less pressure and potential danger.

Lei Shidong looked at Xia Jingxing with a smile, "Then you invited News Corporation to join your new venture project?"

Xia Jingxing said lightly: "Of course I won't invite him. He has his own video website, so there is no need to invite him. If there are fewer people, there will be fewer profit-sharing parties."

"You are also a shareholder of YouTube, how can I trust you?"

Xia Jingxing knew that the old man was asking about the coordination of the relationship between the two video platforms, and explained: "Although the two companies are both video platforms, their business cores are completely different, and they can coexist harmoniously.

If you still have doubts, Mr. Lei Shidong, I suggest that Youtube also become a shareholder of the new video platform, and work with Facebook to divert traffic to the new platform. "

Gates was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Xia Jingxing in disbelief, isn't he afraid of raising tigers?

Xia Jingxing knew it well, and he was reluctant to let the child be trapped by the wolf, so he could only use this method to temporarily tie everyone's interests together and resolve Hollywood's hostility towards him.

As for the rest, leave it to time.

"good!"

Xia Jingxing thought that Lei Shidong agreed, but the old man immediately answered, "Let me think about it for a few days."

With such a big matter, it is impossible to make a decision right away, Xia Jingxing felt it was normal, and nodded, "Okay, then you should think about it first."
