Chapter 67 Acquisition of a stake in YouTube

Finally saw the three founders of YouTube, who were also ordinary people, and Zhou Shi couldn't see any royal spirit. However, it may also be related to the fact that these three people did not become kings in the end.

"How about it, let's cooperate!" The email that should be said a lot, Zhou Shi's concept of Web2.0 has now spread all over the Internet, although no one said that he is the father of Web2.0, but many people also know Simon Zhou of Yanda. These two people naturally knew, even if they didn't know at first, Zhou Shi would let them know.

"We are also willing to cooperate, I don't know what the specific cooperation plan is?" STEVE CHEN

"I invested 3 million, accounting for 35% of the shares, operating according to the plan I provided, in-depth cooperation with Twitter, swapping 10% of the equity at a ratio of 1 to 1, and the two sides worked together to expand the video sharing market. Zhou Shi didn't come to the void, "You should also see that the cooperation between the two sides can produce great synergy. ”

"We need to think again" Chen Shijun and the other two discussed it, but still did not make up their minds, and decided to delay it for a while.

"You don't have to think too much, I'm a business, not a venture capital, and I don't know how much your website is worth according to venture capital, at least Twitter invests more than YouTube. In addition, I have brought you one thing, which is what I am going to put on the website after I find a video site partner, and I believe it will be very interesting. Zhou Shi said and took out a USB flash drive, Mango Tai has prepared a lot of them for him, and the effect of professional editing will definitely not be bad.

"Wow! that's amazing!" said Chad Hewley, one of YouTube's founders

"That's an exaggeration, is it true?" said Dai Fury, who was also shocked.

"This is China's hottest variety show in the first half of the year, China's Got Talent. I have their authorization, and I personally bear the licensing fee, and I have many more videos like this, and I believe that these videos will shock the whole United States, do you believe it?" Zhou Shi looked around proudly

"That's amazing, oh my God!

Waiting for this video to finish, Zhou Shi stopped playing. "This is my gift to my partners, the copyright is in my hands, you can go back and see it first, I look forward to your choice. Zhou Shi stood up and prepared to leave.

"Don't go yet, let's discuss it again, and we'll be fine right away!" Chad Hely stopped Zhou Shi

Watching the three of them come to the side to discuss, Zhou Shi felt that the victory was in his hands.

"Dai Furui, do you agree to the swap of shares, this is what I thought of temporarily, fortunately you didn't refute it in person, but I'm sorry, the time is too tight, I ......" Zhou Shi wanted to explain something to him

"Oh, my friend, don't worry about these things, I don't have a problem with the idea of a share swap, your idea is very good, so that we don't miss the opportunity for video development, and it doesn't affect our own development, it's a genius idea. "Dai Fury

"Thank you for your understanding, but I have to explain to Zhuang when I go back, I hope he doesn't misunderstand" Zhou Shi

"Zhuang will understand, I believe him, and he believes in you" Dai Furui

"I hope so, I wonder what the outcome of their discussion will be?" Zhou Shi looked at the three of them

"If they're smart, they'll know how to choose, technology isn't the only thing, if we don't cooperate, we can work with another company, and the likelihood of them winning is very low. "Wear

"But the technical advantages save us a lot of time. "Zhou Shi

"See what they choose!" said

didn't make them wait long, Chen Shijun and the three of them discussed it and walked over.

"Simon, after we discussed, we unanimously agreed to your suggestion, and we have a happy cooperation" Chen Shijun stretched out his right hand

"Happy cooperation!" Zhou Shiyi shook hands with the three of them one by one. Suddenly he felt a sense of relief all over his body, although he had done a lot of preparations, but this trip was too smooth.

In order to be in a hurry, Zhou Shi signed a contract with them in the presence of his lawyer. $3 million was also transferred to YouTube. This time he bought the shares in his private name. Without notifying Lu He in advance, it would take a long time to rush over temporarily, and Zhou Shi couldn't wait.

The share swap between YouTube and Twitter also went smoothly, and Johnson did not express his dissatisfaction. The next step is to upgrade the YouTube pipeline, pay attention to likes and shares, and prepare the server bandwidth in advance. The warm-up for China's Got Talent has also begun.

A week later, the low-key uploaded talent show video actually achieved unexpected results. More than 30,000 clicks appeared on YouTube. You must know that this is a YouTube pipe that has not been established for a long time, and the number of users is not much. So Twitter started to promote, users took the initiative to start a viral promotion, and within a few days, the number of users and clicks on YouTube began to skyrocket. Let Zhou Shi, who originally wanted to buy Google's keyword promotion, let go of this idea, and no matter how fast he is, he will not be able to use YouTube.

On Twitter, under the intentional guidance of the official, the popularity of the talent show continues to rise. The drainage of YouTube, the discussion of topics, and the screenshots of the talent show also made everyone start to try to use Twitter. However, it is clear that there is no oil pipeline that is developing at a faster pace. However, the introduction of millions of users into YouTube still has a big effect. Without Twitter, how could the fission of YouTube users be so fast.

Yan University in China has already started, Zhou Shi did not get a reply from Teacher Wei, and he didn't know how to deal with the withdrawal from school, so there must be a loss. Zhao Xiaodao's supergirl road also continued, and he greeted Long Danni big, and he had to go to Mango Terrace to brush her down. Baidu was not in the mood to ask about it, but the contradiction between Zhou Hongyi and Yahoo was getting bigger and bigger, so much so that Lao Zhou also crossed the ocean to call Zhou Shi. Didn't say anything, but the loss was certain.

Zhou Shi has become the chairman of Twitter and YouTube. Said to be the chairman, in fact, the board of directors has not been formally formed, and it is just that those of them have come together to discuss or coordinate the development of Twitter and YouTube. Overall, Twitter is paying more for YouTube.

Crude oil also bought 1,000 hands at the price of $63, because it was not close to the trend line, Zhou Shi did not dare to buy more, because there was not necessarily time to stare at the market, gold still did not dare to do, and the remaining money began to build a position on London copper, and the price of about $3,550 could be entered as much as it could. As long as Zhou Shi is fine, he will go to buy a little London copper. The feeling of not having to stay up late, not having to do intraday short-term and definitely making money is very cool. Zhou Shi watched the price rise and fall, and was not anxious at all. One is because there is a lot of money, and the other is that you will definitely not be able to blow up the position, and the other is that you know that as long as you can't blow up the position, you will definitely make money.

The meeting with Facebook was a bit difficult, and the guy was also an otaku, or there were no people around Zhou Shi who knew him, but the funding in May made Zach famous in Silicon Valley, and the kid dropped out of Harvard. Although it was troublesome, in the end, Zhou Shi still made an appointment with Xiaozha.
