Listed companies are sometimes very troublesome, and the establishment of Weibo by Time and Za Lang requires the approval of the board of directors, but Cao Guowei obviously does not want the board of directors to gain more confidence, so that his management MBO is full of twists and turns, and he does not want to give up this rare opportunity. So I asked Yin Yue, what would happen later, and Zhou Shi didn't want to care about it. Anyway, everything he can do has already been done, and if Yin Yue can't make a bad decision, then she has a problem. At most, we will find some way to acquire Twitter Huaxia in the future, and you must know that Qinglong Venture Capital accepts Lehman's investment in Twitter Huaxia, and there are a lot of these shares.

"Mr. Zhou, there is a candidate this time, let's interview together!" Lei Jun came to Zhou Shi's side and handed him a resume.

Zhou Shi took a look, Gong Yu, born in Beijing, graduated from Tsinghua University, in 1999, founded China's large-scale comprehensive portal Focus Network, served as president and CEO, in November 2003, joined Sohu, successively served as vice president, senior vice president, chief operating officer.

"It's Sohu again, they have so many talents!" Zhou Shi sighed, Youku's Gu Yongkeng, and Ku6's Li Shanyou all came out of Sohu, and Gu Yongkeng is still Gong Yu's boss. But think about iQiyi in the future, such a Gong Yu is his goal.

"Yes, Sohu seems to be the Whampoa Military Academy of the Internet. "Lei Jun

"I hope this person meets my requirements!" Zhou Shi

"What kind of person are you looking for?" Lei Jun saw that Zhou Shi had interviewed many people and read a lot of resumes, but he didn't decide on the final candidate, which was quite strange.

"I don't know, look at the feeling!" Zhou Shi really didn't know, what he needed was an indomitable person, and he couldn't lose his sensibility and passion. For the video industry to be profitable, it takes a long time to work hard, and there is no hope of success in a short period of time. In the face of continuous losses, no hope of profit for a long time, and even the continuous impact of the industry, how to maintain the passion for entrepreneurship, drag down the opponent in persistence, and win the final victory, this is a very difficult choice.

In a café, Zhou Shi met Gong Yu, although he could also meet in Time Company, but Zhou Shi still chose a more comfortable environment.

"I invite you to come over, mainly because we are going to set up a video website, we are looking for a suitable person, and I want to hear your opinion. "Lei Jun, Zhou Shi didn't speak on the side this time.

"Video site,I think it should compete differently with the current Youku Tudou Ku6......" Gong Yu saw Zhou Shi, but he was not familiar with the richest man and didn't recognize it, not to mention, it was Lei Jun who interviewed him, and he didn't expect that Zhou Shoufu would be guarding like Lei Jun's little brother next to him.

Lei Jun and Gong Yu talked a lot, and Zhou Shi also listened a lot, successful people really have an indescribable quality.

"Just him!" After a long time, Zhou Shi said the first sentence and decided on this candidate, and the CEO of Future Time Video was decided.

Gong Yu was stunned, and he was a little uneasy about this sudden reversal.

"This is Zhou Shi, our big boss!"

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhou, disrespectful and disrespectful. "Gong Yu

"Don't be like this, let's not be so polite, we still need to work together in the future" Zhou Shi didn't care about these details.

"I have a question, Mr. Zhou's YouTube is already the most successful video website in the world, why build another one, and still look for people outside. "Gong Yu

"YouTube has been sold, although I still have a little bit of influence, but at that time other people's industry, and I don't think YouTube is the only successful model in the video industry, YouTube has come to the peak of a model, and the rest is a natural development. Now I want to make a new attempt, and it is an attempt in Confucian cultural circles such as Huaxia. "Zhou Shi

"Confucian cultural circle, so this video site will not be limited to China?"

"That's right, I never think we should be limited to this place in China, this is our foundation, but also the shackles that limit our development. "Zhou Shi

"We've been international from the beginning?" said Gong Yu

"It's going to be based on our cash flow, and it's definitely going to start with the development of the discourse culture. Let's not talk about that for now, that's for later. And the video website is obviously very much like a TV station, and it also has a positive significance for the spread of Chinese culture, but unfortunately Zhou Shi does not know which are the most popular video websites in Southeast Asian countries, and he does not know whether Netflix has occupied the market in East and South Asia.

"The first thing we have to do is to have a video website that can occupy the top three in China, I want to know more of your thoughts. "Zhou Shi

"I don't have a specific idea, but I don't think it's an easy thing, there are many problems with the profitability of video sites and copyright disputes, maybe this is a long-term process, we need more patience. "Gong Yu

"I also think that the competition in the video industry is not about speed but about patience, and whoever can persevere until the end is the winner. Zhou Shi said with a smile

"And I think we should take the road of genuine high-quality videos, and open up the gap with other websites, not to mention that the country's copyright protection will become stronger and stronger, which is also the most beneficial weapon for us to deal with other video websites. "Gong Yu

Zhou Shi and Lei Jun looked at each other and smiled, Gong Yu's words were in harmony. Time set up a film and television copyright trading company,Acquired the Internet copyright of many film and television works,Especially taking advantage of the financial crisis,The funds invested in the film and television industry at home and abroad have decreased significantly,They have acquired more copyrights,But although it has a financial advantage,But it was still robbed of a small part of the market by LETV。

Lei Jun and Gong Yu talked about Time's acquisition of film and television copyrights, as well as their strategy of genuine high-definition film and television sports, and asked Gong Yu if he had any questions, and Zhou and Lei patiently answered them one by one.

"I always feel that Mr. Zhou has something to say, I want to know what Mr. Zhou still thinks about video websites, it's better to say it now, to avoid trouble in the future" Gong Yu

Lei Jun was stunned, he didn't expect Gong Yu to be so keen, he also had some ideas after communicating with Zhou Shi many times, he didn't expect Gong Yu to find out so soon.

"There are a lot of ideas, but a lot of them are not realistic at the moment, and that's a strategy that I'm definitely going to promote. If you can promise to keep it secret, I'll say it all."

Gong Yu hesitated for a while, obviously very interested in Zhou Shi's strategic plan, and was unwilling to miss it easily: "Okay!"

Zhou Shi didn't say anything about signing a confidentiality agreement or anything like that, the more a person climbs, the more important integrity is, if he doesn't have enough ability, he doesn't get enough compensation, and ordinary people don't dare to break his promise to an industry boss with huge influence. Of course, if Robin Li and the like give Gong Yu the position of iQiyi boss, maybe he will plan his company's strategy according to Zhou Shi's strategy.
