CHAPTER 46 YOUTUBE ACQUISITION

Hurley didn't know why, but a sense of danger arose. He and Chen Shijun carefully opened Gu Mojie's notebook and glanced at it.

The computer is on, a browser is open on the desktop, a web page is open on it, and the interface of a Hatsune computer manager is also opened.

In addition, the computer seems to be very clean, not only do you not open other programs, but even the icons on the desktop are also very clean, and the hard disk is also very empty. Obviously, this is pretty much a new computer designed for testing, with only a handful of things.

"You can try it, use my beta version of the web page, and play the video from the list of web links." Gu Mojie reminded the other party of a sentence, and then stopped making a sound, waiting to watch a good show on the side.

Hurley and Chen Shijun glanced at each other and motioned for Chen Shijun to operate. CHEN SHIJUN IS THE TECHNICAL DIRECTOR OF YOUTUBE, AND THE WORK OF TESTING AND COMPARING PEER PRODUCTS IS OBVIOUSLY HANDED OVER TO HIM TO SEE THE PROBLEM.

As soon as Chen Shijun was involved in technical work, the kind of introverted and honest also retreated, and he clicked on a link on the test webpage and played it. The content of the video is a selfie of Hatsune Network employees' activities, and it looks very high.

It's smooth, and that's everyone's first reaction when they see the video.

However, fluency is normal, insiders watch the doorway, Hatsune's server is set up in Qiantang City, so the impact of the external network will be minimized, as long as the bandwidth of the package is sufficient, the buffering speed should be fast.

Chen Shijun would never look down on Mo Jie's test webpage because of this.

He immediately proceeded to the second step of the test. Turn off the video just now, reopen a relatively long, relatively large file, and pull the playback progress bar to about two-thirds of the entire video at the beginning. And then drag some back and forth, all kinds of tosses.

What really shocked Chen Shijun soon became peanut.

No matter how much you toss, these videos don't get stuck.

Chen Shijun's first reaction was to check the file capacity in the hard drive. If there's cheating, pre-saving video files locally, or just caching, you can tell the difference in your hard drive usage. However, Chen Shijun searched for a long time and did not find that kind of situation.

"It can't be...... How so? That's right! The other party must have connected the server side of the test website to the same LAN as this computer! So they only need to rely on the internal network speed to buffer! You don't need to be limited by WAN bandwidth at all! Chen Shijun's second reaction was like this.

Pity. Before Chen Shijun could bring it up, Gu Mojie seemed to see through his heart from his looking left and right.

"What? Suspect that our company has set up servers on the same intranet? You can rest assured that the servers are set up in the data center that I host at Binjiang Oriental Communications. Although it is also in the city. But it definitely belongs to the extranet.

If you don't believe it, there is Hatsune PC Manager on the desktop, which can do network speed and packet monitoring. Wouldn't you be able to tell with that thing? I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE IT, YOU CAN PING IT YOURSELF. ”

Chen Shijun's face was a little embarrassed. He knew that what Gu Mojie said was true. This kind of cheating is very easy to identify.

Chen Shijun checked step by step, but there were still no flaws. It shows that Gu Mojie's video test webpage is so awesome in itself. He tested several other technical points according to his own ideas, and his heart suddenly became dead.

HATSUNE CYBER TECHNOLOGY IS STILL RELATIVELY ROUGH, AND IT CAN'T BE SAID TO SURPASS YOUTUBE IN ALL ASPECTS. BUT AT LEAST A FEW OF THE CORE TECHNICAL POINTS THAT YOUTUBE IS MOST PROUD OF DON'T SEEM TO HAVE MUCH TO BE PROUD OF. IN PARTICULAR, YOUTUBE IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BOX AND BETTER THAN GOOGLE-VEDIO.

Chen Shijun's face was ugly, and he whispered a few words to Hurley. When Hurley heard this, his face did not change much, but he was also slightly shocked, obviously his city was deeper than Chen Shijun's technical house.

Gu Mojie came out of the round at the right time, and after beating a stick, he wanted to give a date: "That's it, I also know that 8 million is a little less, in order to show our sincerity, we are willing to add 10 million US dollars." What do you think? 8 million is enough for you to repay the loan, where is there much money left to enjoy life. ”

Chen Shijun seemed to feel the same way, and sighed with emotion: "Yes, it's too little, it's only enough to repay the loan, and we definitely won't sell it." ”

This sentence was completely unconscious, but halfway through it, Chen Shijun felt a sharp pain in his leg, and he was pinched by Hurley and stopped talking.

"You're so special! Can we still use the reason that we owe a loan as a condition for business negotiations? When you say that, doesn't the other party know that we are short of money! Hurley roared angrily in his heart, he almost grabbed Chen Shijun's neck and dragged his heart, but he couldn't show it, so he could only pretend to laugh and not laugh.

Gu Mojie didn't look in that direction: "Mr. Hurley, you don't have to mind - you know, I have cooperated with Google in cloud security and data centers, and in Silicon Valley, I also have some channels, and your financial situation, even if I didn't know it at first, is now officially negotiated, do you think I will pay so little attention to you and don't even know about this information?"

I know you want to sell your site for a good price, and I know you have a lot of confidence that this site can go big. The problem is, isn't it still big yet? You say you have unique advantages, and I have those advantages too. And my volume is so many times larger than yours, and the funds, channels, and platforms are not comparable to you. TO BE HONEST, IF I MAKE A SPECIAL TRIP TO OPEN A SUBSIDIARY IN SILICON VALLEY TO OPERATE THE OVERSEAS VERSION OF CHUYIN VIDEO IN THE FUTURE, I CAN KILL YOU YOUTUBE IN MINUTES. I just don't want to go through too much trouble, and I want to be able to make the best use of existing resources instead of reinventing the wheel. ”

Hurley roared in his heart, but his face was pleading and sad: "The value of a website is not only the value of the current market and technology. Technical points can be plagiarized, but you may not be as strong as us in the ideas and directions of research and development. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT OUR YOUTUBE IS VALUABLE BECAUSE OUR TEAM IS VALUABLE, AND THE TALENTS WE BRING TOGETHER ARE VALUABLE! Ten million, we will never accept it! ”

Gu Mojie was unmoved: "The team is worth money? If the team is really valuable, we can cash in other ways, and we don't have to stare at the website purchase price, right? Even if I give you two a million dollars a year, it's not impossible to consider. Of course, if you are willing to help me, there will only be an annual salary for the first year, and there will be no dividend options. Because I believe that the achievements of the website in the first year are all brought about by the stability of the platform of Hatsune Network Technology, and it does not reflect your ability.

If, from the second year onwards, it can be seen that the acceleration of incremental business is significantly higher than that of peers, I can give you additional dividend options. Think about it. ”

Hurley didn't expect Gu Mojie to say this, bought their website, and asked them to continue to work for him.

In May 05, Hurley and Chen Shijun did not have as much ambition as they did later, at this moment, if Gu Mojie stupidly and directly threw 20 million US dollars in the past, the three partners repaid all their foreign debts and spent another one or two million to dismiss the team, maybe they would each share four million to enjoy life.

In Hurley's view, Gu Mojie's picking caused him to be unable to enjoy life immediately, and he had to continue to work for others to earn food money for the rest of his life.

Hurley was silent for a long time, and did not answer directly, but added a question: "What are you going to do with Karim?" AFTER YOU BUY YOUTUBE, YOU DEFINITELY INTEND TO OPERATE IN CHINA. Karim doesn't know how to run a Chinese company. We dug him out of Petertil's PayPal in the first place, and we can't betray our friends! ”

"Can't betray a friend? This kind of thing was uttered by an American? Gu Mojie was stunned for a moment, he didn't plan to dwell on this issue, just take it as the American's sincere words.

HIS FIRST REACTION WAS TO ADD UP TO 2 MILLION AS A SEPARATE SEVERANCE PAY FOR YOUTUBE'S THIRD PARTNER. But in order to show his prudence, he can't blurt it out right away, and he has to pretend that he has thought about it for a long time.

As soon as he thought about it, Gu Mojie overturned his initial first feeling.

He's not going to dismiss Karim, isn't he just a million dollars a year and an extra person a year? Can he register some subsidiaries in the United States and operate the overseas version of Hatsune Video in the future?

Gu Mojie is well aware of the domestic Internet environment, whether it is a search company, a video company, or even a social company, as long as it is operating in China, it is essential to accept the harmony of content.

If Hatsune wants to look global in the future and not only do business with Chinese netizens, then dual-track content caliber is a must. A set of harmonious content for Chinese, a set of unharmonious content for foreigners.

In addition, because of the difference in anti-piracy efforts between China and foreign countries, it may be necessary to dual-track business strategies. Of course, that's all for later, and there's no rush to plan at the moment.

"I can give Karim the same treatment as you. AND KEEP YOUTUBE'S CURRENT DATA CENTER AND ALL RESOURCES IN THE UNITED STATES, AS LONG AS IT CHANGES ITS NAME AND BECOMES A PRODUCT OF HATSUNE NETWORKS. In the future, I will not abandon the overseas market, and we will give you a platform to operate free content to match our current products. What do you think of this condition? ”

"Huh? Could it be that this Boss Gu is still a righteous man who has the heart to break through the iron curtain? The Americans couldn't help but feel proud - lewd.

As everyone knows, Gu Mojie doesn't have the two strings of Wumao and Meifen in his mind at all. What people want is just a successful career and the achievement of business hegemony.

ANOTHER FINAL FIERCE BARGAIN, GU MOJIE FINALLY AGREED TO BID $10 MILLION TO BUY YOUTUBE'S ENTIRE PROPERTY RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE TECHNOLOGY AND TEAM. And separately gave the three major partners a formal offer.

Regarding the personal treatment, Hurley could not sign it immediately, he had to communicate with Kalim in the country. But the intention to sell the website, this is considered a negotiation.

Hurley and Chen Shijun's trustworthiness towards Karim made Gu Mojie slightly impressed. He didn't expect that Americans also have good faith and friendship. (To be continued.) )
