Chapter 574: Expose your identity and fight back against Universal
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "What if iFlytek also wants to ban him?"
Boss Ma was stunned and said: "Are you still related to iFlytek?"
Zhang Xiao corrected him: "Wrong, it should be that iFlytek and I have some relationship. Let me formally introduce, I, Zhang Xiao, is the major shareholder of iFlytek, Boss Ma. Isn't it surprising?"
Today, iFlytek is the number one video website in North America, with a market value of over 200 billion US dollars.
As the major shareholder accounting for 60% of the shares, Zhang Xiao definitely occupies a pivotal position in the global entertainment industry.
The reason why I told Boss Ma that I was the major shareholder of iFlytek was mainly to tell him that I was not a clay Buddha who could be bullied.
The three major domestic video websites are nothing in front of him.
When Boss Ma heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "It's really surprising. You've hidden it too deeply."
Zhang Xiao said: "Boss Ma, Qingtian Video Website is my wife's hard work. I can't be indifferent. If U-Pants, Penguin or iQi defeat Qingtian through legitimate competition, I will never say anything."
"If you can bully people in this way, then I would rather live in pieces than in ruins."
Ma Laodaodao: "You martial arts practitioners are really stubborn in temperament. Okay, on behalf of U-Pants, I agree to the three conditions. But I have a question. You must answer me honestly."
Zhang Xiao said: "What's the problem?"
Boss Ma asked: "Last time you disrupted the Hong Kong stock market, more than a dozen families suffered heavy losses. I want to know the source of your funds."
Zhang Xiao did not hide anything and said straightforwardly: "The loan is made from Tesla's shares."
Boss Ma on the other end of the phone exclaimed: "Are you still a shareholder of Tesla?"
"That's right!" Zhang Xiao said: "I invested in Tesla in the first place, and it was able to develop so fast. Boss Ma, whether it is Tesla or iFlytek, basically no one in China knows about it. I hope
You can keep it secret."
Ma Laodao: "Don't worry about this, Zhang Xiao, your vision is too vicious. We, the so-called richest men in China, are nothing compared to you."
"Where can I find it?" Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "I have always liked filming in my life. Investment is just a side job."
When Boss Ma heard this, he was speechless and said: "What you said is too shocking. Forget it, I won't tell you anymore. I'm done with it."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiao smiled at Yang Mi and said, "It's done. Starting from next month, Qingtian Video Network can return to normal."
Upon hearing this, Yang Mi breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "This storm is finally over."
Zhang Xiao looked at Yang Mi and said: "Honey, regarding the operation of video websites, I think you'd better learn from Mango Video Website."
Yang Mi nodded and said: "The Mango Video website is indeed doing well, but it is based on the extremely high ratings of its own TV station, and mainly relies on its own film and television variety shows."
"After Qingtian TV is launched, we will also work hard in this direction."
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Then come on!"
···
the next day.
Hu San, Zhuang Bing, and Luo Yong came to the headquarters of Qingtian Entertainment again.
The people responsible for receiving them were Yang Mi and Chen Ya, but Zhang Xiao did not show up.
All three parties agreed to the conditions proposed by Zhang Xiao before, but required Qingtian Video website to lower its charging standards to a level similar to those of the three parties.
In fact, Yang Mi and Chen Ya have already planned the website's charging model. They adopt two methods: buyout and share sharing, and the producers can choose at will.
Even if you choose a 50% buyout and a 50% share, it's fine. The charging standards are slightly lower than those of the three major websites.
However, this is normal. Who makes Qingtian Video Network a new website?
After the four parties reached an agreement, the three major websites simultaneously removed all film and television works from Universal Pictures and canceled their cooperation with Universal.
···
"Bang!"
At the Universal Pictures headquarters, Morris slammed the table and said angrily to Zhuang Bing on the screen: "Mr. Zhuang, we have a very happy cooperation, why are you doing this?"
Zhuang Bing shook his head and said: "Mr. Morris, I'm sorry, there are only two ways before us. One is to continue to cooperate with you, but the result we face is death."
"The other way is not to cooperate with you, then the website can run as usual and survive. There is no other way, we can only choose to survive."
Morris said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhuang, considering that we have cooperated for many years, please tell me whether Zhang Xiao is putting pressure on you?"
Zhuang Bing hesitated and nodded: "Yes!"
Morris was immediately offended and said: "Mr. Zhuang, the Penguin Corporation behind you is the most powerful technology company in China. How can a mere Zhang Xiao pose such a big threat to you?"
Zhuang Bing said directly: "Because he has the ability to destroy the Penguin Video website, Mr. Morris, I apologize to you again."
After the video call with Zhuang Bing ended, Morris endured his anger and called Hu San and Luo Yong again, but the result was the same.
"Asshole~~~"
Morris picked up his laptop and smashed it on the ground.
The assistant outside heard the commotion and ran in quickly, carefully sweeping up the debris on the ground.
Just then, Morris' phone rang.
He picked up the phone, looked at it, and said, "I'm Morris."
"Mr. Morris, something big has happened. iFlytek has terminated negotiations with our company. It turns out that all those film and television works have been removed from the shelves."
"What?" Morris stood up from the sofa in shock when he heard this.
Universal Pictures' film and television works are usually sold to major websites in China after they have been broadcast for half a year, and the annual revenue is only 100 million US dollars.
But iFlytek is different.
In the competition with major video websites, iFlytek stands out, successfully defeating other websites, and taking the top spot in the online video field. Its film industry covers the entire North America, and its market value now exceeds 200 billion US dollars.
, higher than Universal.
The video website that Universal originally cooperated with filed for bankruptcy within a month, so Morris targeted iFlytek.
After more than a month of negotiations, the two parties were about to sign a contract. Unexpectedly, iFlytek terminated the negotiations at this time and removed all Universal's film and television works.
This is a bolt from the blue for the world.
You must know that the traffic of the second-ranked video website in North America is less than one-third of iFlytek.
"How could this happen? Which link is the problem?" Morris roared angrily like a rampaging lion.
"They only said it was an order from the headquarters and did not give any reason."
Morris took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down completely.
Suddenly, the shadow of Zhang Xiao suddenly appeared in his mind.
Could it be him?
Yes, it must be him!
Otherwise things wouldn't be such a coincidence.
But what is his relationship with iFlytek?
How could iFlytek be allowed to make such a major decision?
