Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Prince's International Vacation

Sohu officially launched "The Voice of China" on January 29, and after the fourth issue of "The Voice of China" was broadcast that night, Sohu also updated the fourth issue, and there were also some tidbits that were not broadcast on TV.

As a result, Sohu Video's servers were almost paralyzed, and Sohu had to urgently increase its servers.

On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the first four episodes of "The Voice of China" and tidbits exceeded 200 million.

On the evening of February 1, Sohu announced on the NASDAQ in the United States that "The Voice of China" was launched for three days, with a cumulative viewing of more than 80 million users, of which more than 9o% of new users were added, covering 4o% of Huaxia Internet video users.

The proportion of these users watching other content of Sohu Video is 93%, which has a very obvious pull effect on the entire platform of Sohu Video.

This year, Sohu Video will invest heavily in the purchase of popular film and television drama resources, and strive to be the first in the video industry.

As soon as this announcement came out, Sohu's share price rose by 21% again, plus the increase in the previous three trading days, after the purchase of "The Voice of China", Sohu's share price has risen by 4o%, and its market value has increased by nearly one billion US dollars.

The breakthrough of Sohu Video and the change in stock price have also changed domestic public opinion.

From the previous Wang Zixuan pit Sohu, it became Sohu pit Wang Zixuan.

It only took 450 million Huaxia coins to increase the company's market value by nearly one billion US dollars, and Sohu Video directly sprinted from more than ten in the previous industry to the first place in the industry.

Video sites such as Youku and Tudou received protests from strategic investors almost at the same time, saying that if their market share declined, they would not participate in the next round of financing, or even sell their shares.

Video sites are completely a money-burning game, and if they can't continue to raise funds, the only thing waiting for them is to go out of business.

But now there is no program on the market that can compete with "The Voice of China", and websites such as Youku and Tudou can only buy some old variety shows first to compete for some audiences.

The online copyright of "The Voice of China" has sold for 450 million, and although the ratings of other variety shows are only one-tenth of "The Voice of China", or even less, but if you don't give one-tenth of the price, you have to give one-twentieth of the price, no matter how bad it is, you have to have one-fortieth of it.

Driven by "The Voice of China", online copyright has directly moved towards the era of tens of millions.

When the major video websites gritted their teeth and snapped up the network copyright of programs such as "Everyday Upward", they also secretly focused on the programs that Wang Zixuan was going to host in person, and persuaded major investment institutions to invest more money and prepare to compete for the programs hosted by Wang Zixuan.

Previously, Wang Zixuan said on his neck that he would host a variety show after the New Year, and when he auctioned the copyright of "The Voice of China", the CEOs of various companies also confirmed the matter to Wang Zixuan, and received a positive answer from Wang Zixuan.

Of course, there are also major TV stations that are eyeing the program hosted by Wang Zixuan, and they don't expect to be able to buy this program, Wang Zixuan's worth is destined to be worth this show.

All TV stations hope to be like Zhejiang Satellite TV's introduction of "The Voice of China", and even some TV stations are ready to provide a free broadcast platform, and the program will drive the ratings and advertising revenue of the entire satellite TV.

This has been proven to be feasible from Zhejiang Satellite TV.

It can be said that Wang Zixuan's new show has not yet been prepared, and it is already in the spotlight.

On February 2, Soros publicly signed an article in the Financial Times of London, bearish on the euro and said that the euro would collapse if the EU did not solve its financial problems.

At this time, the euro has been falling against the dollar for more than ten consecutive trading days.

The trading volume of the euro has skyrocketed from more than $70 million to more than $1.2 trillion, and the position of short euros continues to set a new record.

Soros's remarks were immediately criticized by the European Union.

Many politicians in Europe have accused hedge funds of shorting the euro for exacerbating the crisis of confidence in the market.

Germany and France have proposed that the EU strengthen the supervision of hedge funds, and push for a vote on new regulations to strengthen the supervision of hedge funds at a meeting of 27 finance ministers next month.

The move has also been criticized by hedge fund managers around the world, arguing that it is an obstacle to financial freedom.

The US Treasury Secretary also warned that the EU's decision was discriminatory against US hedge funds and had protectionist tendencies.

However, two days later, the Wall Street Journal revealed that in mid-January, some of Wall Street's heavyweight hedge funds held a secret meeting and formulated a secret plan to short the world's second-largest currency.

The U.S. Department of Justice also launched an investigation into whether Soros's hedge fund colluded to short the euro, and asked the hedge fund attending the banquet to keep records of transactions and emails related to the euro.

Soros, who was the host of the banquet and openly shorted the euro, was immediately criticized by all sides.

Soros was forced to stand up and say: "The predator fund is the largest fund for shorting the euro, and we just discussed the operation of the predator fund at the banquet, and then followed the trend to invest, and there is no question of conspiracy to short the euro." ”

As soon as this explanation came out, Wang Zixuan was suddenly pushed to the forefront.

The Predator Fund appears to have become a leader in international capital markets.

When the Chinese people were jubilant, Wang Zixuan also felt great pressure, the rafters in the early days rotted first, he didn't want to become the target of the public, and he scarred: "The real power of shorting the euro is in the United States, rating agencies, investment banks, hedge funds, their combinations are the real forces that control the market." The EU has the ability to solve the current debt crisis, but the euro is also overvalued, and there are funds shorting the euro, so the Predator Fund has joined it. The euro's fall started in December, and the Predator Fund only finished raising funds on January 1o, and we are just an ordinary member of the short sellers. ”

Wang Zixuan's explanation was also supported by some European dignitaries.

ECB Governor Novani has publicly stated that it is unacceptable for only three credit rating agencies to decide on Greece's economic prospects. The fate of Greece, and even more exaggerated the fate of the whole of Europe, depends on the judgment of the three rating agencies, which is very dangerous. The authorities cannot change the rating agencies, but they can try to reduce their dependence on them.

At the same time, the European authorities also launched an investigation into international banks and investment banks, because the first wave of shorting of the euro was the banks and investment banks of various countries, including a considerable number of European banks.

The acquisition of Club Med was not affected by the shorting of the euro by the Predator Fund, and after some bargaining, the royal company and all the shareholders of Club Med reached an agreement to buy all the shares and related claims of Club Med at a premium of 1oo%, completing the privatization.

The French Financial Authority also informed the acquisition.

The share acquisition, Citibank commissions, and public relations expenses totaled 700 million Chinese dollars, plus the 300 million US dollars spent by Greece to acquire the islands, and Wang Zixuan's investment in tourism has reached 900 million Chinese dollars.

After the completion of the acquisition, Club Med changed its name to Prince International Resorts Group, moved its headquarters to Sanya, and all the original Club Med employees were retained, with a salary increase of 1o%.

Wang Zixuan's tourism resources will be fully integrated into Prince International Resort Group, and will continue to acquire high-quality tourism resources around the world.
