Yanjing, Zhongguancun.

It is known as the Silicon Valley of China, and it is also a holy place for countless IT youths, and Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park is the most intensive area of science, education, intelligence and human resources in China.

There are also Tsinghua University and Peking University, the highest university in China, as well as the Huaxia Academy of Sciences and the Huaxia Academy of Engineering, which represent the highest level of scientific research in China.

Liu Yun and Yang Zhicheng drove downstairs to Baidu. At the gate of the office building, there are already a few people waiting there.

A very energetic and capable middle-aged man shook Liu Yun's hand very warmly and said, "Hello, Mr. Liu." I'm Xiang Hai, vice president of Baidu. ”

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the person in front of him was too young.

Liu Yun smiled: "Hello, Mr. Xiang, it's a pleasure to meet." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, stretched out their hand to the sea, and said, "Mr. Liu, please come here." We, Mr. Li, are already waiting in the office. ”

Liu Yun nodded, followed Xiang Hai, and came to the president's office.

He met Robin Li, who had a lot of controversy in his previous life, but he was also one of the well-deserved Internet bigwigs.

If you think of meeting with the three founders of BAT as a task that must be completed.

Liu Yun has completed 2/3, and he is also thinking about when he will take the time to meet that little brother ma.

"Mr. Li, I've admired my name for a long time. In August of this year, the Internet miracle created by your company on the NASDAQ is still vivid. Today, Baidu has become a benchmark in our Internet industry. Liu Yun stretched out his hand and said with a smile.

"Mr. Liu, you are really too famous. You're now more famous than me, and you're a hero of your youth. Robin Li also stretched out his hand and shook it with Liu Yun.

Liu Yun glanced at Robin Li, and recalled the old horse, his appearance was indeed crushed by this Mr. Li, and of course he was also crushed by himself. He thought a little cheekily.

"Mr. Li, in the past year and a half, the cooperation between our two companies has been very pleasant. Liu Yungang sat down, picked up the tea handed by the secretary, and took a sip.

"Well, Mr. Liu is quite right. It can be said that Baidu's two investments in Yoyo have been very successful. Robin Li smiled heartily.

After the investment of Hao123 and Yoyo Browser, the valuation of Hao123 and Yoyo Browser has continued to rise, and even boosted Baidu's stock price, which also made Mr. Li very proud.

What satisfied Mr. Li the most was that after Liu Yun went public on Baidu, he asked Baidu to repurchase 300,000 shares of Baidu shares in his hands through a private agreement. He saw this move as a gesture of goodwill to him by the young rich man.

Robin Li didn't know that after Liu Yun discounted these stocks, some of them secretly bought Tencent shares, and the other part quietly entered the stock market.

Liu Yun pouted and said, "Mr. Li, before coming to Baidu, I went to Haidie. ”

Robin Li muttered to himself, as if he had heard it, but he couldn't remember it for a while. It is impossible for an IT tycoon like him to stand at the top of the pyramid to keep an eye on a record company. What's more, this company is not yet a leader in the industry.

Liu Yun looked at Robin Li frowning and meditating, and understood that he must not be familiar with this company, smiled slightly, and said: "This is a record company, and it is relatively large-scale in the Chinese music scene. ”

Robin Li glanced at Liu Yun quietly, an industry boss like this is extremely sensitive, and when Liu Yun mentioned that this is a record company, he immediately thought of the MP3 section on the Baidu search box.

He knows that this section has brought tens of thousands of traffic to Baidu, and of course all the songs on it are pirated. He played a sideline ball of the law, taking advantage of the fact that there is no corresponding legal provision for online music today, so he will be so unscrupulous and do whatever he wants.

The reason why Baidu was able to become a member of BAT is that piracy plays a very important role. Countless netizens use Baidu search to find all kinds of pirated materials, such as songs, movies, and so on.

Liu Yun continued: "I talked to the president of Seabutterfly Greater China and decided to jointly set up an online music company. ”

Robin Li is also a strongman who draws inferences from others and reacts extremely quickly. After listening to the other party's words, his first instinct was that Yoyo wanted to enter the online music and wanted to make a profit by paying for downloads on the Internet.

As we all know, the biggest enemy of genuine songs is pervasive piracy, and Baidu in his hand is the biggest source of pirated songs.

Could it be that the other party wants to cancel the MP3 search? This thought flashed through Robin Li's mind in an instant.

MP3 search provides a huge amount of traffic for Baidu, and giving up this business is tantamount to cutting your own meat. Liu Yun's face is not so big.

Robin Li can't be cheeky enough to say that he wants to vigorously promote pirated songs, but he also said euphemistically: "Nowadays, the country has no copyright to regulate online music, not to mention that netizens are used to free music, and once they pay, they will definitely not accept it." What's more, our company's purpose is to provide high-quality free search services for netizens. If the MP3 searched by netizens wants to be downloaded for a fee, they will definitely scold our company for seeing money. ”

Liu Yun glanced at Li Yanhong with some surprise, this guy was able to say these words so calmly, and his face was thick enough. It's strange that he would believe such nonsense, not to mention that this Mr. Li also guessed his intentions wrong.

He shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Li, did I say that I paid for downloading? In fact, our company's purpose is the same as your company, to provide free high-quality song downloads for netizens. ”

This time it was Robin Li's turn to be surprised, and asked, "Mr. Liu, first explain your thoughts in detail, and then I will make a decision." ”

Liu Yun paused for a few seconds and said, "Yoyo and Haidie will jointly establish an online music company called Youhai. Now, we have basically negotiated the acquisition of Qianqian Jingting, and Kugou is still negotiating. As long as we win these two music software, at least for now, we can monopolize the online music market. I am optimistic about the huge potential of this market, is Mr. Li interested in working together?"

Robin Li thought for a while and asked, "I always have confidence in Mr. Liu's ability, but I also want to hear about the plan first." ”

Liu Yun gave him the documents he had prepared in advance, which was the preliminary plan he had drawn up after he and Haidie had completed the negotiations.

Among the key points, 1. Acquire the online music copyright of a well-known singer at a relatively cheap price, with the mentality that you can win a few, if the other party's asking price is too high, you don't have to be polite, just take it, this is a legal vacuum, and it doesn't necessarily have to be justified. 2. We still implement the strategy of free lectures and free downloads to seize the network market.

What Liu Yun hopes to get from Baidu is, 1. Baidu's MP3 search engine points to Qianqian Jingting or Kugou (provided that Kugou is successfully acquired). 2. Welcome to Baidu's financing, which is an investment with great potential.
