After getting Xingru, Zhou Fangyuan was ready to return to the mainland.

Of course, before returning to the mainland, he still has to help Xingru deal with everything here, in fact, there is nothing to do, after all, Xingru's hometown is on Treasure Island, and there are her parents on Treasure Island, and they can solve the specific moving matters by themselves, and on their own side, they only need to provide Xingru with a good contract.

This is not difficult for Cao Yan at all, he can do it easily.

As for the local things on Hong Kong Island, it is nothing more than some advertisements and photos, and if you can push it, you can push it, and if you encounter something that is not good to speak, you can go directly to Brother Li, and you can call it with a phone call, and if you are good at talking, you have to give face.

So three days later, Zhou Fangyuan finally set off to return to the mainland, and Xingru followed him back to the mainland.

Yes, it's just herself, her previous agent has been fired.

It's not that the other party is not good enough, but Zhou Fangyuan doesn't trust anyone who doesn't belong to him at all, and Xingru's new agent will be appointed by Yuanfang Media, which is also a means of control. But the newly appointed agent doesn't know what's behind this, he will only accept Sun Jing's orders, and then arrange various activities for Xingru according to the orders.

For Xingru's arrival, Sun Jing was very happy. Anyway, Xingru is now a very famous star in China, and being able to sign her will make Yuanfang Media's foundation deeper, and as the general manager of the company, Sun Jing will of course be happy. Of course, she also guessed the relationship between Xingru and Zhou Fangyuan, but she didn't care, after getting along for such a long time, she already understood that Zhou Fangyuan was actually just playing with people like Ruxuan and Xingru. As Zhou Fangyuan's right-hand man, Sun Jing's status in Zhou Fangyuan's heart is completely different. It is unlikely that he will be on the throne, after all, there is a gap in the age of the two, even if Zhou Fangyuan is willing, his parents may not be willing.

But this is already very good, Sun Jing doesn't have too many ambitions, she just wants to accompany Zhou Fangyuan, help him, and then watch him step by step to the top, that's enough.

After returning to China, Zhou Fangyuan almost didn't pause, and directly took a plane to the United States.

He went to the United States this time for two purposes, one is about games and movies, to discuss with Mike again, by the way, to take a look at the development progress of the game and the preparation of the movie, and in addition, it is also appropriate to talk to Director Cameron.

The second is to establish two Internet companies.

Neither purpose is important, but he has to come in person, and it is good to get rid of the shopkeeper, but these tasks are actually quite important, and he can't completely let go of nothing.

After coming to the United States, he did not go directly to the Blizzard headquarters, but made a phone call directly to An Lin.

After An Lin was sent to the United States by him, she lived a good life here. Although Mike is not the kind of person who is completely obedient to the boss, but now the cooperation between the two sides is very good, and Zhou Fangyuan owns 80% of Blizzard's shares, and Mike can't care about it.

Fortunately, Zhou Fangyuan usually doesn't come to the United States often, but An Lin is here, which is basically equivalent to Zhou Fangyuan's spokesperson.

So Mike still cares about her, at least it is impossible to completely ignore An Lin. As for An Lin, she is also well-behaved, she didn't do anything wrong under the banner of Zhou Fangyuan, at most she spent money and spending, and when she had time, she went out to play, and she had a good time.

Zhou Fangyuan's arrival surprised An Lin.

The reason is very simple, after all, she is Zhou Fangyuan's person, she has today's life because of Zhou Fangyuan, if Zhou Fangyuan completely forgets her, she is not sure how long she can enjoy such a life. Now it seems that Zhou Fangyuan has not completely forgotten him, which makes her a little happy.

Needless to say, the passion after the meeting, after the passion, Zhou Fangyuan finally mentioned his second purpose.

It's about building two companies.

"YouTube and Facebook? What does that mean?"

An Lin stared at the plan Zhou Fangyuan gave her with wide eyes, and suddenly couldn't react.

"Quite simply, these are two sites, and your task is to find the right manager and put the shelves up first. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.

"Uh, and then what?"

"Then just wait, after a while, a company registered in the Cayman Islands will come and hold shares, and then I will call you, and this company is also mine. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.

YouTube and Facebook are the two most famous companies in the Internet industry in the United States in the future, and he will not let go no matter what.

Among them, YouTube is a video website, and it is also a big guy with a future market value of $90 billion.

However, this company has not yet appeared, the original time and space, it was founded on Valentine's Day in 05 by three former employees of PayPal including Chad, Chen Jun, and Judd. Lost and in debt at the time, Chen Jun and Heli conceived an online audio-visual sharing plan in the garage and enlisted Karim's help, and YouTube was born. Founded to make it easier for friends to share video clips, it has since become a repository of memories and a place for netizens to publish their works.

It was 4/23/05, and YouTube's first video was uploaded by Karim and was only 19 seconds long. In the film, Karim stands in front of an elephant at the San Diego Zoo in California and says, "These guys have a good-looking, long-growing, uh-long, nose." It's cool".

BY 06, YOUTUBE HAD 40 MILLION SHORT VIDEOS, ATTRACTING 6 MILLION PEOPLE PER DAY, AND IN JUST 15 MONTHS SINCE ITS ESTABLISHMENT, IT HAS SURPASSED COMPETITORS SUCH AS MSN VIDEO AND GOOGLE VIDEO TO BECOME THE MOST VISITED WEBSITE OF THE CENTURY.

Then in October '06, Google acquired YouTube for $1.65 billion, and reached content licensing and protection agreements with Universal Music, SONYBMG, Warner Music, and CBS, reassuring the market that content providers may pursue infringing content and escalate legal action.

In '07, YouTube announced in Paris that it would begin to expand its glocalization services, with the first wave being available in 9 languages. The website interface can be selected in multiple Chinese languages, and it will also be based on the search habits and popular browsing of local people according to the region.

In October of the same year, Chen Jun, one of the founders born in Baodao, returned to his hometown and announced the official establishment of the Chinese version of Tubing in Baodao. On 17 and 18 October, YouTube opened its Chinese websites on Hong Kong Island and Treasure Island respectively. In line with the launch of YouTube Island, YouTube has signed content supply cooperation agreements with Commonwealth Magazine, Sanli Television, Treasure Island Television Company, Treasure Island Public Radio and Television Group, Lion Travel Agency, etc., and has signed content supply cooperation agreements with a number of well-known organizations on Hong Kong Island, including Asia Television, Hong Kong Tourism Board, Radio Television Hong Kong and Celestial Pictures.

In 08, according to the IT blog "Dancing with G", Google's subordinate video website YouTube officially supports Chinese Simplified, which is a key step for Google Curve to enter the Chinese market. Due to the restrictions of Huaxia law, foreign-funded enterprises cannot directly launch video websites for the Huaxia market, but they do not want to give up this fast-growing market, and have been exploring the difficult road in a roundabout way. IN NOVEMBER OF THAT YEAR, YOUTUBE STRUCK AN AGREEMENT WITH MGM, LIONSGATE AND CBS TO ALLOW FULL-LENGTH MOVIES AND SERIES TO BE BROADCAST ON ITS U.S. WEBSITE, IN AN EFFORT TO COMPETE WITH HULU, WHICH HAS BEEN LICENSED TO BROADCAST ITS OWN BROADCASTERS AND FOX TELEVISION SERIES.

At the end of 09, YouTube signed a contract with Channel 4 again, Channel 4 will upload its programs to Youtube's TV zone "SHO" in its entirety, allowing YouTube users in the UK to watch Channel 4's programs for free and in full, with a total of more than 60 partner companies uploading more than 4,000 complete TV series, and Channel 4 has become the first mass media in the world to provide complete programs to YouTube.

In January 10, YouTube provided movie rental services to American users. In March '10, YouTube started offering certain content for free in films or TV series, such as the broadcast of the Indian Premier Cricket League. According to YouTube's report, it is the world's first major sporting event to be broadcast online for free.

As of July 17, 15, Google released the financial report for the second quarter of Youtube's fiscal year 15, showing that YouTube had more than 1 billion users at that time, and almost one-third of all the people in the world who surfed the Internet spent hundreds of millions of hours watching videos on YouTube every day, and YouTube has also become one of the largest video sites in the world.

The market capitalization has reached $90 billion, which is really a behemoth.

But he's not the most powerful, it's Facebook that's even more powerful.

Facebook was founded a year before YouTube by Mark Zuckerberg, a Harvard student who previously graduated from Azley High School. Initially, registration for the site was restricted to students from Harvard College. Within the next two months, enrollment expanded to other universities in the Boston area, Boston College, Boston University, MIT, Tefts University, as well as the University of Rochester, Stanford, New York University, Northwestern University, and all Ivy League schools.

According to '07 data, Facebook has the largest number of users of any website that primarily serves college students – 34 million active users, including those on non-university networks. Between September '06 and September '07, the site's ranking rose from 60th to 7th among national websites. Facebook is also the number one photo-sharing site in the United States, uploading 8.5 million photos a day. In the top 500 of the world's brands in 10 years, Facebook surpassed Microsoft to rank first.

And the development of this company can be called rapid, 04 years, that is, the year the website was established, it received about 500,000 US dollars in angel investment. By December, Facebook had more than 1 million users.

In May '05, Facebook received $12.7 million in venture capital from AccelPartners. In August of the same year, Facebook bought the domain name from AboutFace for $200,000, removing it from the name. On 9/02/05, Facebook launched its high school version and called it the most logical next step. While this was initially positioned as an invite-only community to join, after only 15 days, most high schools have networks that don't require a password to join. By October, Facebook had expanded to most of the smaller universities and colleges in the country of Maple Leaf. In addition, it has expanded to 21 universities in the United Kingdom, ITESM in Mexico, the University of Puerto Rico, and the University of the Virgin Islands. On 12/11/05, universities in Australia and New Zealand also joined Facebook, and so far, Facebook has a total of more than 2,000 universities and high schools.

In 08, according to data from Comscore Consulting, Facebookk surpassed its competitor Myspace for the first time in the world, with the former reaching 123.9 million unique visitors and 50.06 billion page views in May, while the latter had 114.6 million unique visits and 45.04 billion page views, but Facebook's traffic growth mainly came from overseas, while the number of unique visitors to Myspace in the United States is still ahead of Facebook, and the number of unique visitors to Myspace in the United States is 73.07 millionIn June, Facebook launched a Chinese Simplified Chinese version of the page, which was freely translated by volunteer users and made available to Chinese users, while Facebook also launched a Chinese Traditional version to users on Hong Kong Island and Treasure Island.

In December 2009, Facebook had 469 million unique visits, an increase of 31 million compared to the previous month. The number of new users added in a month is equivalent to the number of users Yahoo has added in a year, and it is also equivalent to half of the total number of users of Digg and the number of users of Titter. At the same time, users also spend more time on the site than Yahoo, and similarly, the average time users spend on the site also exceeds Yahoo.

On February 2, 10, Facebook overtook Yahoo to become the world's third-largest website, leading the top three with Microsoft and Google. In the same month, Facebook replaced the fourth-ranked AOL in the United States.

By the time Zhou Fangyuan was reborn, Facebook had become an Internet giant with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, much more powerful than YouTube.

These two websites, one focusing on video sharing and the other on picture sharing, are both areas that Zhou Fangyuan will enter in the next step. In China, Yuanfang Video has been launched and has a good number of users, but in the field of blogging, Zhou Fangyuan has not made any moves. In fact, not only him, but also other companies have not taken any action, although there are similar websites in China, the response is mediocre, the number of users is not much, and there are basically few people who know. But Zhou Fangyuan knows very well that in the future, blogs will be different from instant messaging, another big traffic. In today's era, traffic is king, there is traffic, there are users, there are users, there are income, there are fame.

And Facebook is such a blog website, of course Zhou Fangyuan can't let it go easily.

So when he came to the United States this time, he wanted to get these two companies down, and he couldn't let these two companies become other people's money-absorbing weapons again. Especially in the United States, he doesn't have any psychological pressure when it comes to absorbing gold. In China, there are some things he can't do too much, but here, he doesn't have the psychological burden of this. However, as a Chinese person, of course he can't just blatantly mess around in the Internet circle of the United States, and YouTube is just a kind of information exchange website, if one is not good, it is very likely to be controlled by the United States, which Zhou Fangyuan does not want to see.

So he needs another identity, an offshore company, which is the best stand-in.

He can completely let this offshore company replace him to manage these two companies, at this time, the control of these companies is not very strong, as long as it does not provoke the nerves of the top management of the United States, it is no problem to do these things quietly. In the future, you can talk about it later, but it's a big deal to sell the shares and just exchange them for money.
