Chapter Eight Hundred and Fiftieth: Raise the Price of the Little Prince

Portals can naturally also be subverted with this model.

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

However, now is not the time to think about portals, let's get to the video first.

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

Although Chen Yu appointed Li Xuelin to be in charge of the video going overseas, Chen Yu also called Wang Xiaochuan over.

At first, Wang Xiaochuan thought that he only needed to be in charge of technology, but after Chen Yu renovated the model, Wang Xiaochuan was more shocked the more he studied. He feels that through a method of big data analysis and recommendation, in the future, the search engine he is in charge of may also be able to overtake in a corner, catch up with Baidu's footsteps, and even be able to Pk with Google.

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

For the latest plan, he and Li Xuelin studied together for a whole week.

"Well, this plan is good."

Seeing the latest plan, Chen Yu was satisfied.

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

"Xuelin, what's the matter with this $100 million?"

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

"so much?"

"It's a bit too much."

Li Xuelin explained: "A video website is no better than an ordinary website. It needs a lot of resources for bandwidth and video storage. Especially after the website attracts more popularity, the amount of users uploading every day may not be able to be read in a lifetime."

"Xuelin, it's not a day, but the amount of uploading in 1 minute, maybe a human can never finish reading it in a lifetime."

Wang Xiaochuan, who was in charge of technology, corrected Li Xuelin and said.

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

This is also the reason why many video sites have not been able to make profits before.

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

"How much money is there in the Huanyu Portal account?"

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, there is still money in the company's account for the time being."

The company Li Xuelin was referring to was not Huanyu Technology Group, but Huanyu Portal.

Although Huanyu Portal does not seem to make money, Huanyu Auto, the secondary channel of Huanyu Portal, is quite profitable.

The current Universal Auto is not just a car portal, it is also involved in car sales, car insurance...etc. As the most authoritative and professional platform in China, although the overall Shang Huanyu portal is not necessarily stronger than Xinlang, when it comes to earning power, it is not one point or two points stronger than Xinlang.

"I know."

Chen Yu nodded: "But Xuelin, didn't you say that making videos is very expensive? It needs 100 million US dollars now, how much will it cost in the future?"

"It's not certain, I estimate that after $100 million we need financing."

If they don't raise funds later, ordinary companies can't stand it.

After all, if you want to make a video website bigger and stronger in the future, any website will be worth tens of billions of dollars.

Such a scale cannot be afforded by a company.

Even if it can be tolerated, ordinary companies will not do this.

"The financing thing is coming slowly. If you want to raise money, you must first do a good job of the website."

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

Chen Yu started a video website to make money.

Although in order to make money, it is necessary to invest in the early stage.

But the Huanyu portal is not necessarily very rich. Such a sudden investment makes Chen Yu feel heartache.

Furthermore, to be honest, Chen Yu was already very poor after receiving Lin Benjin's lithography machine.

Even if there is money in some subsidiary accounts now, Chen Yu does not 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 work with Li Xuelin and Wang Xiaochuan.

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

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

Although Wang Chang is in charge of the friend network now, but it can be considered that he worked together in the past.

After looking for Wang Chang's guidance, the preliminary work of Huanyu Video in North America is progressing very smoothly.

As for where did Chen Yu go?

he went to youtobe.

Recently, there have been rumors that you want to sell this piece of YouTube.

For a time, a lot of capital, and a series of global IT companies have contacted youtobe.

Hearing such news, Chen Yu naturally couldn't have no reaction.

Therefore, he also contacted Chen Shijun, the founder of youtobe.

right.

That's right.

The founder of Youtube is also a Chinese-American.

The reality is amazing.

The founders of Yahoo are Chinese-Americans, and the founders of YouTube are also Chinese-Americans.

Of course, Chen Yu contacted Chen Shijun not to buy youtobe.

Although Chen Yu has reasons to buy it.

But the acquisition of youtobe is too expensive. On the one hand, Chen Yu's funds are very tight, and on the other hand, he does not want to acquire it at all.

He wants to make his own video website, wouldn't it be better to beat youtobe?

As for the reason for contacting Chen Shijun, it's actually quite simple, making money.

Whose money is it for?

Get Google's money.

"Shijun, who are the people who have contacted you?"

"Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Apple...all."

"Hehe, Microsoft doesn't have the genes for the Internet, and Apple doesn't expect to be able to make so much money now. It's possible for Yahoo, but I think they may want to make their own videos. I think Google wants your youtobe the most."

"I feel the same way."

Chen Yu and Chen Shijun got along very well.

Probably the age difference between the two is not particularly big, and the reason they are both Chinese.

Moreover, Chen Shijun has learned Chinese since he was a child, and Chen Shijun is also very interested in Chen Yu.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​selling youtobe, did you mean it, or did the whole team mean it?"

"For my reasons and for the whole team."

Chen Shijun said: "I have something wrong with my body and it takes a while to recuperate, so I may not have much energy to be in charge of youtobe. The team also believes that having top IT giants escorting us is also more conducive to the development of youtobe."

Chen Shijun didn't hide anything from Chen Yu.

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

After all, not just any company can become a giant.

It's not that you have a business that looks more innovative and can do it globally.

There are too many uncertainties and too many challenges.

"Understandable."

Chen Yu nodded.

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

Of course, his body is only a small problem, and it will be fine to rest for a while.

As for why you should sell to Google, on the one hand, you 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 goes according to the historical process, the future YouTube will be worth 100 billion.

And it's dollars.

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

"This is still unknown."

Chen Shijun didn't say anything this time.

Although he was also interested in Chen Yu, it was not necessarily a simple chat for Chen Yu to contact him.

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

"you sure?"

"certainly."

"You Huanyu are also interested in our youtobe?"

"So to speak...but I can tell you now that I'm interested in youtobe, but I won't buy it."

"why?"

"I feel the same way as Yahoo."

"Ha ha……"

Chen Shijun smiled.

This is also normal.

Why buy it and why not make it yourself?

Why Yahoo is not very interested, in fact, they want to do it themselves.

Why didn't Chen Yu buy it, also because they have a friend network, they can also do it themselves.

Both are very professional Internet companies, and they also have the confidence to make another video website.

Why didn't Apple buy it, the problem is they really have no money right now.

So why is Google most interested in the end, because they themselves are search engines, they not only need to complete the search for text and pictures, but also complete the search for video. But they were in the search area before, and they didn't have a particularly high gene for Internet website operation. At this time, it would be best to acquire a potential website and then support it through their search engine.

"You want to help me raise the price?"

"That's right."

Chen Yu nodded: "You know, people in the industry call me the little prince of bidding."

"Hahaha……"

Chen Shijun laughed.

He had heard several things about Chen Yu raising prices.

When Yahoo acquired 3721, Chen Yu raised the price and cheated Yahoo.

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

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

"Chen Yu, are you cheating Google or me, but I still retain some shares."

"Your shares are too few, it's better to sell them all. Besides, as soon as I make a move, I will give you an increase of 1 billion US dollars directly. This deal is worth it no matter what."

"What benefit do you want?"

"Just give me a 30-point bonus."

"make a deal."

Since you want to sell youtobe, what happens to youtobe in the future has nothing to do with Chen Shijun.

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

But this kind of thing, who knows?

It's safest to have cash on hand.

As for Google not being fooled by this, Chen Yu was extremely relieved.

First of all, Google needs youtobe very much.

This is not only the popularity of youtobe, but youtobe is also related to their search business.

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

But if Chen Yu made a move, Google would never let go.

After all, Friends Network is now popular all over the world, and it is almost under their Google.

Of course, this is nothing.

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

He could also threaten Google's position.

Do you think it's impossible?

Do not.

They only need to implant a search engine box on the friend's website, and they can instantly increase the market share of a certain search engine by 10 points.

In other words, no matter who gets youtobe, Chen Yu's friends network cannot get it.

Even if he knew that Chen Yu was here to raise the price.

Bite your scalp and take youtobe down too.
