Chapter 854

Portal websites can also be subverted by this model.

The most classic example is today's headlines and interesting headlines.

However, now is not the time to consider the portal. Let's do the video first.

A few days later, Li Xuelin and Wang Xiaochuan came to Chen Yu's office again.

Although Chen Yu designated Li Xuelin to be responsible for the video going to sea, Chen Yu also called Wang Xiaochuan.

At first, Wang Xiaochuan thought that he only had to be responsible for technology, but after Chen Yuyi renovated the model, Wang Xiaochuan was more and more shocked. He felt that through a way of big data analysis and recommendation, in the future, maybe the search engine he was responsible for could overtake around the corner, catch up with Baidu, and even compete with Google PK.

For a while, Wang Xiaochuan was very interested in video business.

For the latest plan, I studied with Li Xuelin for a whole week.

"Well, it's a good plan."

Seeing the latest scheme, Chen Yu was satisfied.

However, when he saw the funds behind him, Chen Yu frowned.

"Xuelin, what's going on with this $100 million?"

"President Chen, this is the capital we need to invest in the early stage."

"So much?"

"There's really a lot of this one."

Li Xuelin explained: "video websites are no more than ordinary websites. They need a lot of resources for bandwidth and video storage. Especially after the website attracts more popularity, it may be that the amount of users uploading every day can't be seen for a lifetime."

"Xuelin is not a day, but the amount uploaded in one minute. Maybe humans can't see it all their life."

As the person in charge of technology, Wang Xiaochuan corrected Li Xuelin.

Such terrible upload resources, so his investment is also very large.

This is also the reason why video websites can't find profits before.

It's not that they can't make money, but the cost of saving these videos and allowing users to watch them normally is a huge expense.

"How much money is there on the Huanyu portal account?"

"Mr. Chen, you can rest assured that the company's account can still take money for the time being."

The company Li Xuelin refers to is not Huanyu technology group, but Huanyu portal.

Although Huanyu portal doesn't seem to make money, Huanyu automobile, the secondary channel of Huanyu portal, still makes money.

At present, Huanyu automobile is not only an automobile portal, but also involves automobile trading, automobile insurance... And other businesses. As the most authoritative and professional platform in China, Huanyu portal is not necessarily stronger than Xinlang on the whole, but when it comes to making money, it is stronger than Xinlang, not one point or two.

"I know."

Chen Yu nodded: "but Xuelin, didn't you say that it costs a lot of money to make videos? It needs $100 million now. How much will it cost in the future?"

"This is still uncertain. I estimate that we need financing after $100 million."

If there is no financing later, ordinary enterprises will not be able to withstand it.

After all, in order to make video websites bigger and stronger and to the world in the future, any website has tens of billions of dollars.

Such a scale is not affordable for an enterprise.

Even if it is affordable, ordinary enterprises will not do so.

"Take your time in financing. If you want to finance, you must first do a good job on the website."

"Well, you start your business first, and I'll consider the funds needed later."

Chen Yu does video websites to make money.

Although in order to make money, we must invest in the early stage.

But Huanyu portal is not necessarily rich. Chen Yu is also distressed by too much investment at once.

Moreover, to tell the truth, Chen Yu was already very poor after receiving Lin Benhan's lithography machine.

Even if some subsidiaries have money in their accounts, Chen Yu doesn't dare to spend money casually.

……

A few days later, Chen Yu took Li Xuelin and Wang Xiaochuan to the United States again.

However, Chen Yu did not join Li Xuelin and Wang Xiaochuan.

Instead, let them take charge of the video business themselves.

Li Xuelin was also smart, but he went to Wang Chang for the first time.

Although Wang Chang is now in charge of the friend network, he worked together in those years.

After turning to Wang Chang for guidance, the preliminary work of Huanyu video in North America is advancing very smoothly.

Where did Chen Yu go?

He went to Youtube.

Recently, there are plans to sell YouTube.

For a while, many capital and a series of global IT enterprises have contacted YouTube.

Hearing such news, Chen Yu naturally couldn't be unresponsive.

Therefore, he also contacted YouTube founder Chen Shijun.

yes.

you 're right.

The founder of YouTube is also a Chinese American.

The reality is very unexpected.

Chinese Americans founded Yahoo and Chinese Americans founded YouTube.

Chen Yu contacted Chen Shijun, of course, not to buy YouTube.

Although Chen Yu has reason to buy.

But buying YouTube is too expensive. On the one hand, Chen Yu is very short of funds. On the other hand, he doesn't want to buy it at all.

He has to make his own video website. Isn't it better to beat YouTube?

As for the reason for contacting Chen Shijun, in fact, it is also simple to make money.

Whose money?

Google money.

"Shi Jun, who have contacted you?"

"Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, apple... All have."

"Hehe, Microsoft doesn't have the gene to make the Internet, and apple can't get so much money now. Yahoo is possible, but I think they may want to make their own video. I think Google wants your YouTube most."

"I feel the same way."

Chen Yu and Chen Shijun talk very well.

Probably the age difference between the two is not very large, and the reason why they are both Chinese.

Moreover, Chen Shijun learned Chinese since childhood. Chen Shijun is also very interested in Chen Yu and Chen Shijun.

"What do you mean by selling youtube, or the whole team?"

"There are my reasons and the reasons of the whole team."

Chen Shijun said: "I have something wrong with my body and need to spend some time recuperating, so I may not have much energy to be responsible for youtube. The team also believes that it is more conducive to the development of YouTube if there are top it giants to escort us."

Chen Shijun didn't hide anything from Chen Yu.

In fact, this is the conventional method for many Internet enterprises to become bigger and stronger.

After all, no enterprise can become a giant.

It's not that you can be global if you have a business that looks more innovative.

There are too many uncertainties and too many challenges.

"Understandable."

Chen Yu nodded.

According to previous news, it also confirms the reason why Chen Shijun sold YouTube.

Of course, his health is just a small problem. He can rest for a period of time.

As for why we should sell it to Google, on the one hand, we may want to cash out and leave, on the other hand, it may also be for the further development of Youtube.

Of course, Chen Shijun may not be able to guess that if everything follows the historical process, the future YouTube will be worth 100 billion.

And it's still dollars.

"I think Google can only bid up to $3 billion."

"This is unknown."

Chen Shijun didn't say anything this time.

Although he is also interested in Chen Yu, Chen Yu's contact with him is not necessarily a simple chat.

"Hehe, Shi Jun, you can communicate with Google for a while. Maybe it's less than $3 billion... If I join, they may pull the price to $4 billion."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course."

"You Huanyu are also interested in our YouTube?"

"You can say so... But I can tell you now that although I am interested in youtube, I will not buy it."

"Why?"

"I think the same as Yahoo."

"Ha ha..."

Chen Shijun smiled.

This is also normal.

Why buy it? Why not make it yourself?

Why is Yahoo not interested? In fact, it also wants to do it by itself.

Why doesn't Chen Yu buy it? They also have a friend network and can do it by themselves.

Both are very professional Internet companies, and they are also confident to do another video website.

Why don't they buy apples? The problem is that they really don't have money now.

Finally, why is Google most interested? Because they are search engines, they not only complete the search for words and pictures, but also complete the search for videos. But they used to do search. They don't have a particularly high Internet website operation gene. At this time, it's best to buy a potential website and build it through their search engine.

"Are you trying to raise my price?"

"That's right."

Chen Yu nodded: "you know, people in the industry call me the little prince of raising prices."

"Hahaha..."

Chen Shijun laughed.

He has heard several things about Chen Yu's price increase.

When Yahoo bought 3721, Chen Yu raised his price and pit Yahoo.

When Lenovo acquired IBM's personal notebook computer, Chen Yu cheated Lenovo again.

This time, it looks like it's going to pit Google.

"Chen Yu, are you kidding Google or me? I still keep some shares."

"Your shares are too few. It's better to sell them all. Besides, as soon as I sell, I'll give you a $1 billion rise. How can this deal be worth it?"

"What do you want?"

"Just give me a 30 point bonus."

"Deal."

Since you want to sell youtube, what will happen to YouTube in the future has nothing to do with Chen Shijun.

Although Chen Shijun had planned to keep some shares to see if YouTube could grow into an international giant in the future.

But this kind of thing, who knows?

Or the cash you get is the safest.

As for whether Google can be fooled, Chen Yu is very relieved.

First, Google desperately needs YouTube.

This is not only the popular performance of youtube, but also related to their search business.

If other competitors come in, Google may not be so worried.

But if Chen Yu makes a move, Google will never let go.

After all, friends network is now popular all over the world, almost under Google.

Of course, it's nothing.

Most seriously, Google should understand that friend networks are not just social networking sites.

He can also threaten Google's position.

You think it's impossible?

no

They only need to implant a search engine box on their friends' Internet, and they can instantly increase the market share of a search engine by 10 points.

In other words, no matter who gets youtube, Chen Yu's friends can't get it.

Even if you know Chen Yu is here to raise the price.

If you want to be tough, you should also take down YouTube.
