Microcosm, General Manager's Office.

Chen Yun reported the recent situation to Shen Lang.

At present, Douyin's daily active users are still growing.

However, the rate of growth has been somewhat slow, and it will only reach 23 million daily active users by now.

"That's a good statistic, how is the vibrato developing?"

Shen Lang felt that he had been fattening up the trills for so long, and it was time to kill a wave.

"There is still a gap between their daily active users and ours, but they are also stable at the level of 10 million daily active users, which is a second-tier short video platform. ”

Shen Lang pondered and asked, "How many users do you think we can absorb from the vibrato, if we hit the vibrato?"

"It's about seventy or eighty percent, because our user base is very similar, and the proportion of our users who convert into our own users will be larger. ”

Shen Lang knew it in his heart and said with a smile: "Then what are you waiting for, tell those companies that they can do it, and use the copyright without authorization for so long, the heart of the trembling is really big." ”

"Okay, I'm going to contact the music companies. ”

Chen Yun responded to the call to contact the music company, and Shen Lang signed contracts with several music companies before.

Spend money from them to buy the right to adapt online songs to make it easier for Douyin users to use.

Naturally, the vibrato of copying the habit will not miss this, and all the photos will be accepted directly to the vibrato.

Shen Lang is waiting for this opportunity, since 15 years, the state attaches great importance to copyright, and unauthorized use of other people's music copyrights is definitely death.

And the vibrato completely caused huge losses to these music companies, and of course they couldn't be happy to bite off a large piece of meat from the vibrato.

Vibrato, which has just completed its B round of financing, has also received a valuation of $300 million, and the level of tens of millions of daily active users can be higher.

However, many venture capitalists feel that the style of vibrato is highly similar to Douyin, and they are not very optimistic about the future development of vibrato, so they give a more cautious valuation.

This has made Zhang Ziming praise the vibrato business department, how popular Douyin is now.

Zhang Ziming knows that the B round has been valued at $1.5 billion, who is not greedy?

Of course, Zhang Ziming also hopes that the vibrato can reach the level of Douyin.

Even if Tremolo now has a valuation of $300 million, it is already a big profit for ByteDance.

The investment before and after only a few million dollars has obtained a valuation of hundreds of millions of dollars, and ByteDance's internal incubation capabilities have also been recognized.

Zhang Nan has been praised by Zhang Ziming almost recently.

As a single-handedly promoter of trill, Zhang Nan was also generously shared by Zhang Ziming with 10% of the shares.

According to today's valuation of Triol, Zhang Nan is also a female billionaire.

Zhang Nan naturally took this opportunity to ask the parent company for more resource support: "Zhang Dong, we have a rare opportunity now, I think we have a suspicion of plagiarizing Douyin in the early stage.

But if we beat Douyin, or even buy Douyin later, who will remember that we copied them?

Zhang Ziming is also a senior entrepreneur and has a very keen sense of smell in the Internet business.

"What you say makes sense, I will immediately let Toutiao guide you to today, and several other platforms under the same umbrella will also try to help you.

In addition, some technical staff will be assigned to the tremolo business department, and you may go out completely independently and prepare in the future. ”

Zhang Nan's heart trembled, but then he was excited.

The projects incubated within an Internet company can go out independently, and the ones who benefit the most are naturally the original team members.

"Zhang Dong, we will not disappoint your intentions, and we will definitely ......"

"Dong Zhang, we received a lawyer's letter here, and a music company wants to sue us!"

The secretary hurriedly knocked on the door and walked in.

"What's the panic, who's going to sue us?"

The secretary adjusted his breathing and glanced at Zhang Nan who was reporting, Zhang Nan suddenly sighed in his heart, and felt a little flustered for no reason.

"It was Mr. Zhang's project that was accused of vibrato, saying that our project violated national laws and regulations and used their copyright without their permission, causing them huge losses. ”

Zhang Nan immediately retorted: "Nonsense, I also use Douyin when I watch it, why don't they sue Douyin?"

The secretary was a little aggrieved and said: "Mr. Zhang, this is written by the lawyer, and I don't know the specific situation." ”

Zhang Ziming was a little upset and waved his hand to signal the secretary to go out first, and then instructed Zhang Nan: "You go back now to find out what the situation is, and then find a way to deal with it as soon as possible, I don't want any accidents in the vibrato project." ”

Zhang Nan had just obtained the equity, but he didn't want to be taken back because of some accident, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Don't worry, then I'll go back first." ”

Almost as soon as Zhang Nan returned to the tremolo business department, he saw almost all the employees chatting absentmindedly.

"What are you doing, don't you want to do it anymore?" Zhang Nan said angrily.

An old employee explained: "Sister Nan, it's not that we don't want to do it, but I don't know if we should continue to plagiarize now?"

"Of course you have to copy, you forgot how our valuation rose to $300 million?"

After Zhang Nan's instructions, he asked, "Tell me what's going on with the lawyer's letter?"

"That's right, Sister Nan used some of the songs on Douyin before, but in fact, these songs are copyrighted and belong to several music companies. ”

Zhang Nan motioned to the assistant to continue: "I know this, but why did they suddenly unite to sue us, I don't believe it." ”

"We also wondered, all of a sudden, they came to us to ask for an explanation, and asked us to pay them 500 million in compensation. ”

Zhang Nan instantly sneered: "I'm afraid they're not thinking about money and going crazy, right? 500 million?

Everyone didn't say anything when they saw Zhang Nan sneering, Zhang Nan was the person in charge of this project, and no one else could replace Zhang Nan's role.

"Contact them immediately for me, we are willing to give three million as a settlement, if we agree with them, we should quickly withdraw the lawyer's letter, otherwise there will be no penny. ”

Zhang Nan's answer was quite tough, but the other employees felt that something was wrong: "Sister Nan, we asked each other, and the other party didn't seem to particularly want to blackmail us, but just wanted to collect a copyright fee from us." ”

Zhang Nan has already made up his mind: "Don't talk about that, continue to study how to burn money to subsidize users, and improving daily activity is the most important thing we should do." ”

"Then Sister Nan, do we really reply to them like this?"

Zhang Nan nodded and said, "Just like that, I don't believe they can really sue us in court because of this trivial matter." ”

"However, Sister Nan, the other party said that it would definitely not work if he didn't pay enough compensation. ”

Zhang Nan directly shook his hand and left: "Okay, just reply to them, I have other plans for the 30 million US dollars that came in for financing." ”

What Zhang Nan didn't know was that when he said this, the music company that was originally holding on to the rest of the matter and leaving instantly exploded!
