"I want to know, with the same model, the same video, and the same original uploader, why can Huanyu Video give birth to so many internet celebrities with millions of views, but not on YouTube?"
Paige stared at the senior executives of YouTube in the office.
However, Paige was not the only one who did not know the answer to this question. Similarly, the executives of YouTube did not know the answer either.
They thought that they had researched Huanyu Video thoroughly but only God knew what magic Huanyu Video had.
However, in the face of their big boss's loud questioning, they could not remain silent.
"Boss, I think Huanyu Video's comment system is better than YouTube's. Look at the replies and comments here. They refer to the model of Huanyu's portal. By superimposing pictures together, they put together a series of wonderful comments. At the same time, they also liked the video and put the most liked video at the top. This kind of interactive comment system is very outstanding. "
One of the executives of the operations team said.
There was no choice.
Although they did not know anything, they had to do some research.
"Is there anything else?"
Paige did not show any expression.
Lu Zhou was too lazy to respond to this kind of research.
Although Huanyu Video's comment system was good, this was not the main point.
This was just on the surface.
"Paige, I think their browsing mode is very unique. They seem to be using a random mode. However, it doesn't look like it. I think they are using the most popular video at the moment. This is why some of the videos we see are different sometimes. "
"Could it be that this is different from our click-through rankings?"
"Uh … it is indeed different. Their ranking might be random for a few hours or for a certain period of time."
"Okay, is there anything else?"
Paige was helpless.
"I think Huanyu Video's layout is very unique, including their page design. It looks beautiful and elegant."
"This is also one of the main features of Huanyu Video?"
"Yes, I think this page design is very comfortable, don't you think? If I were a user, I would like Huanyu Video more. "
"I …"
Paige was about to explode. "Next."
"Their interaction is very good. When the video uploader uploads the video, they will also establish a corresponding fan circle. This way, the fans will be more united..."
One discovery after another was made. In the end, Page announced the end of the meeting.
…
"Boss Chen, Davis from Morgan Investment wants to see you?"
"Why does he want to see me? Investment?"
Chen Yu shook his head and said, "Didn't I say that Huanyu Video doesn't need financing for the time being?"
"But he insisted on seeing you. He even said that if he didn't see you, he wouldn't leave today."
"Heh …"
Chen Yu smiled and said, "If we don't want money, you can still throw money at me."
However, even though he said so, this guy was actually so persistent. Chen Yu decided to meet this guy.
"Old friend, we meet again."
In the resting room, Chen Yu met with the Devil Root Investment Department's Dess.
When Dess saw Chen Yu, he had mixed feelings.
He already knew that Chen Yu wanted to enter the video business. At that time, he felt the same as now.
He hoped that Chen Yu would mess up the video business, but he also hoped that Chen Yu would do well in the video business.
However, it didn't seem so bad now.
At least, if Huanyu Video became popular, they could still invest.
Even though he knew that with Chen Yu's personality, even if it was an investment, he would still be ripped off.
"Yes, Chen Yu, I'll get straight to the point. We want to invest in Huanyu Video."
"Sorry, as we said before, Huanyu Video doesn't lack money for the time being."
Chen Yu shook his head.
If Huanyu Video didn't have a single cent, then he would be a little anxious.
However, before entering the video business, Chen Yu knew that this business would burn a lot of money.
Therefore, Chen Yu used a trick. He raised the price and earned a brokerage fee.
Although this brokerage fee wasn't much, only a few hundred million USD, it was enough for the initial capital.
However, Dess had done his homework. He said, "I know Boss Chen doesn't lack money for the time being, but it depends on the situation. Google will definitely not give up, and they are still the number one video website. If they use a money-burning strategy, I don't know if Huanyu Video can survive. "
Chen Yu was slightly surprised when he heard this.
He didn't expect Morgan, who was only an investor, to be so experienced in internet operations.
However, this was normal.
Although they weren't in the internet business, they had invested in so many businesses. How could they not know how to play?
In the end, the internet wasn't about technology or business model. It was about money.
As long as they had money, no matter how outdated the technology was, they could use money to build a future.
The premise was that you had enough money.
Youtobe was valued at more than 7 billion USD, and they had raised more than 2 billion USD.
It was obvious that this money-burning war was going to happen.
"Dess, it seems like you know us well. However, if I were to say that no matter how much money they spend, they might not be able to stay in the lead, would you believe me? "
Big data's dimensionality wasn't something that could be explained by technology alone.
If you didn't understand how big data worked, even if you spent money, you might not be able to achieve such a good result.
Otherwise, TikTok wouldn't have become so popular in his previous life. It couldn't even compete with similar products from giants like Facebook.
"Okay, Boss Chen, I believe you."
Although Chen Yu was extremely confident, Dess didn't back down at all. He continued, "Then, other than video, it seems like Chen Yu is still working on the photolithography machine in China, right?"
"Amazing."
Chen Yu gave Dess a thumbs up when he heard this. He said, "Amazing, Mr. Dess, you've really researched Huanyu Technologies thoroughly."
"Boss Chen, I hope you don't mind. We don't have any bad intentions, we just want to invest in you. If we don't understand our investment partner, our business will be ruined. "
"That makes sense. However … "
Chen Yu nodded and changed the topic. "We're in the photolithography machine business, and we do need a lot of money. However, it seems like we still have a lot of idle funds in our WeChat account. "
"Pfft …"
Dess choked.
"Boss Chen, you're borrowing money from WeChat account again?"
"We have no choice, we have to borrow money. It's not like we won't return it. Look at the money we borrowed from WeChat account, we've been calculating the interest every month."
"Boss Chen …"
Dess was about to cry from Chen Yu's shamelessness.
He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen someone so shameless.
Of course, he felt that Chen Yu was just scaring him.
Chen Yu couldn't borrow money from WeChat account anymore.
After all, WeChat account was rich, but it still needed to develop. He couldn't kill the goose that laid the golden eggs.
However, if Devil's Root forced Chen Yu to invest, he might really borrow money.
"Haha, Mr. Dess, I'm just saying. Don't be nervous."
Chen Yu poured a cup of coffee for Dess. "WeChat account's money isn't just your money. I'm also a major shareholder. How about this, I agree to invest. However, Huanyu Video's valuation is 20 billion USD. "
"This …"
Dess hesitated. "Boss Chen, youtobe's current IP stream is still higher than Huanyu Video's."
"If you think that youtobe has more potential, why are you investing in us?"
Dess didn't know what to say.
Between youtobe and Huanyu Video, of course, he was more optimistic about Huanyu Video.
Although youtobe's IP stream was higher than Huanyu Video's, anyone could see that youtobe was going downhill.
Moreover, they seemed to have realized that Huanyu Video's strategy was completely different from youtobe's.
It wouldn't take long for Huanyu Video to completely surpass youtobe's.
This was also why Dess contacted Huanyu Video so early.
If he didn't do it early, when Huanyu Video matured, the amount of money they would have to spend would increase by several times.
"Boss Chen, 20 billion USD is almost three times more than youtobe's. This is crazy."
Dess kept shaking his head.
The most he could accept was that Huanyu Video's valuation was 7.4 billion USD, the same as youtobe's.
"I don't think this valuation is high at all."
If it weren't for the lithography machine, Chen Yu wouldn't have wanted to raise funds so quickly.
Although Chen Yu could still hold on, Chen Yu still wanted to raise a sum of money to be safe.
"Boss Chen, Morgan isn't the only one who can't accept this valuation. Other investors can't accept it either."
"It's okay."
Chen Yu didn't agree or disagree. "Mr. Dess, you can talk to other investors. But what I want to say is that the global internet business is pretty much done. Some people are doing web portals, search engines, instant messaging, e-commerce … What's left is social media and video. We've already set up the social media business. As for the video business, it depends on who's fated with it. "
These words made Dess's heart skip a beat.
He knew that Morgan might not be able to reject Chen Yu's offer.
Huanyu Video's price was ridiculously high.
But as Chen Yu said …
If you missed out on the video business, you would miss out on the last internet business.
To put it simply …
This might be the last ticket to enter the traditional internet business.
Miss out on this one.
In the future, even if you had money, you wouldn't be able to enter the market.
