Lin Fan had thought about setting up a fund before to collect the copyrights of movies and TV series, and it happened to be implemented at the same time.

The matter was settled and the desired goal was achieved. Ouyang Changlin and Wang Peng did not stay long. They exchanged business cards with Lin Fan and agreed to follow-up contact before leaving.

After the others left, Lin Fan glanced at Yang Haoyong, who was stunned, and cursed with a smile: "What are you looking at?"

Yang Haoyong originally thought that Lin Fan was going to scold him, but it turned out that he didn't, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Although he was the founder of Ganji.com, he was unable to deal with the consequences after he stabbed Lou Zi. In the end, Lin Fan, an investor, came to wipe his ass.

This made him doubt his ability and became a little discouraged.

Lin Fan saw Yang Haoyong's listless look and cheered him up: "When you turn Ganji.com into a billion-dollar company and a listed company, they won't look down on you like this.

If you think about it a little bit, I can't blame you entirely for this, I can only blame...the enemy is too cunning."

Seeing that Lin Fan really didn't mean to blame, Yang Haoyong finally felt better.

"Mr. Lin, do you really want Lin Capital to cooperate with Hunan TV? Do you also want Tudou to buy the Internet copyright of their programs?"

Wang Wei didn't interrupt just now, mainly because he was concerned about Lin Fan's face.

Now that Ouyang Changlin has also left, he finally can't bear it anymore.

Lin Fan could clearly feel which of Wang Wei's toes was moving.

Listening to what the other party said, how could you not know the other party's little calculations?

"Although the country does not currently control piracy, in the future, for the sake of international reputation, in order to standardize the order of the industry and allow the industry to achieve better development, it will inevitably be controlled."

Lin Fan's words made Wang Wei somewhat disapproving. When he was working at Bertelsmann, he knew how deep the water in the country was.

Bertelsmann is engaged in media, publishing and book business. What he saw and heard in China was simply shocking.

Piracy seems to have created an industrial chain, and has also spawned interest groups.

Want to eradicate it? Easier said than done!

Even if the state takes action, it will mostly scratch the itch and cannot get rid of the root cause.

"Mr. Lin, Tudou currently has limited funds on its books. Even if it completes the A round of financing, bandwidth expenses and daily operating expenses are not a small amount of money.

As for online copyrights, it is definitely no problem to buy two movies, TV series, and variety shows.

But if you want to buy more, the cost is not a small amount.

The most important thing is that if our competitors don’t spend money on this, they can still obtain the same resources as us.”

Wang Wei sighed, "It's not that I'm stingy, but from the perspective of industry competition, doing this is not good for us.

As one goes and the other goes, our lead may be wiped out.”

Lin Fan nodded. What Wang Wei said was true. The reason why China did not have YouTube was because in the early days of online video, pirated videos were everywhere. There was no need to spend money on it. Industry players were more willing to work on Netflix.

Even if I insisted on being a potato of UGC, I couldn’t hold on anymore and started to purchase various online copyrights to maintain its appeal to users.

This does not mean that UGC cannot attract users. It needs to endure, burn money for a long time, and pay UP owners. Station B is a successful example.

Yang Haoyong glanced at Wang Wei apologetically and said, "Old Wang, if it really doesn't work, forget it. If they want to cause trouble for Ganji.com, let them do it."

Wang Wei felt that he was looked down upon and defended: "Haoyong, it's not that I don't want to help you, but we are in trouble now."

Yang Haoyong nodded, "I understand, I understand too."

Wang Wei always felt that the other party still didn't quite understand his difficulties. He wanted to explain a little more, but Lin Fan stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. All copyright expenses will be paid by Lin Capital."

Upon hearing this, the two of them looked at Lin Fan in surprise.

Lin Fan didn't look at the two expressive people and said to himself: "Lin Capital will set up a copyright fund specifically to buy copyrights. All the film and television copyrights obtained will be rented to Tudou for free... Well, for two years,

Three years.”

Since he can't make any money from collecting copyrights now, Lin Fan thinks it's okay to give it to Tudou for free for a limited period. Besides, he still owns one-third of the shares in Tudou.

Hearing Lin Fan being so arrogant, Wang Wei had nothing to say.

Yang Haoyong only felt that Lin Fan was too kind to him and was a bit unrequited.

After the matter was over, after a night's rest in Star City, Lin Fan, Yang Haoyong, and Zhang Chenguang went straight to the airport early the next morning.

Tudou.com was in Shanghai, and Wang Wei drove back by himself.

After getting off the plane and exiting the airport, Lin Fan saw Rao Lei and Liu Jian who came to greet him.

Rao Lei looked at Lin Fan with emotion and joy on his face, "He's back after all!"

"It's not easy to get along abroad, so I just have to go back to China!"

Lin Fan shook hands with Liu Jian again, glanced at Xun Raolei, and said jokingly.

Rao Lei coughed twice and said with a smile: "Why do I feel that you are caring about both of us?

We couldn't survive abroad, so we ran back to China, but now we can hardly survive in China, and I really don't know what else to do.

Lao Liu, do you think so?"

Liu Jian sighed, "Isn't that right? I always thought that starting a business was an easy thing. Only when you try it yourself will you realize how difficult it is."

Lin Fan smiled, did not follow the topic and introduced Yang Haoyong and Zhang Chenguang behind him.

Zhang Chenguang didn't talk much, and he knew that he couldn't talk to these bosses together. After shaking hands, he stood aside and said no more.

Yang Haoyong also started his own business and studied abroad, so he had something to talk about with the two of them.

"Oh, Haoyong, it turns out that you founded the Ganji website?"

Liu Jian suddenly realized it, and then laughed "haha", "There are advertisements for Ganji.com posted everywhere in our community. It says that renting a house, buying second-hand goods, and making friends should all come to Ganji.com."

He gave a thumbs up and said, "The advertising is good and the website is also very innovative."

Yang Haoyong scratched his head, "They are all stupid methods that made the two eldest brothers laugh."

"No no!"

Liu Jian waved his hands repeatedly, "On the contrary, I feel that if you can work hard to promote it, you will definitely become something great in the future."

After exchanging a few words, everyone got into an Audi together.

The car belonged to Liu Jian, and he acted as the driver, carrying a car full of people to Zhongguancun.

Zhang Chenguang was sitting in the passenger seat, and Liu Jian, who was sitting in the back seat, was talking to Lin Fan and Yang Haoyong, who were sitting on the left and right.

"Mr. Lin, it's a bit crowded. Don't be surprised. I mainly wanted to chat with you in the car and give you a work report."

Lin Fan was not a person who cared about ostentation, so he nodded, "This is good, it doesn't waste time, but don't talk about reporting on work, it's out of sight!"

Rao Lei smiled, chatted for a while, and then quickly got to the point: "Youyoumi is now in a growth dilemma. The user growth has been stuck at more than one million, unable to break through two million, and active users are still being lost.

.

Liu Jian and I have reflected on this problem and found that not only us, but also Yiyou, Heiyou... a large group of SNS social networking sites established at the same time have fallen into the same problem.

It’s possible that China’s SNS concept is immature and has been copied mechanically from Silicon Valley, resulting in acclimatization.”

Lin Fan had expected this outcome and was not surprised at all, and asked calmly: "Then what are you going to do now?

Kristina called me early this morning and said that you had something important to discuss."

Rao Lei's eyes met with Liu Jian's, who was looking at the rearview mirror, and he couldn't hide the loneliness in his eyes, and said quietly: "We want to sell Youyoumi!"

Now even Yang Haoyong, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but take a curious look. Just now he had been pretending to be looking at the scenery outside the window, but now he was not in the mood to look any further.

Facebook invested in Youyoumi at the beginning of last year. At that time, he was still the director of Facebook's network security department, and he also knew about such a thing.

Including him, all the middle and senior management of the company knew that Facebook had planted a chess piece in China.

Now that the chess pieces are for sale, what will Facebook do?

Yang Haoyong looked at Lin Fan curiously, and Rao Lei did the same.

"Facebook currently has full coverage of North America and Europe, with Oceania, South America and Africa having lower priority.

The current focus is on Asia, the Indian market has already entered, and the next step is Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, but the mainland will not enter!"

Hearing Lin Fan speak so decisively, Rao Lei frowned. Even Liu Jian, regardless of traffic safety, quickly turned around and glanced back, then quickly looked away.

"Why?"

Rao Lei spread his hands and said with a puzzled look on his face: "You have returned to China now, why don't you bring Facebook to China?

Youyoumi's technology is not good enough, its ideas are not innovative enough, and its funding is expensive.

Facebook is different. When you enter the Chinese market, I believe no SNS social networking site is your rival."

Lin Fan was silent for a moment. There were many reasons for this that cannot be explained to outsiders.

Facebook has already colluded with the government. How can it still enter the Chinese market and grasp citizens’ data?

The Rabbit Government is unwilling, and he does not want to push this matter forward.

If something goes wrong in the future, he cannot bear the responsibility and will cause the collapse of his domestic business.
