When he found YouTube, a video site that was still in the early stages of entrepreneurship, Zhang Heng was pleasantly surprised, and specially asked Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook in the United States, to investigate, but the result surprised him.

The video site, which has more than 1 billion monthly unique users, became valuable in 2006.

In 2006, after being acquired by Google Technologies for $2.5 billion, its market value swelled to $4 billion in just half a year, and as of 2014, the market value of Youtubi has exceeded $10 billion, becoming the world's largest video Internet site.

Even if Huaxia Yiku Video Network, which is now very popular, in 2014, it was only after the integration of another video website that its market value reached 2.6 billion US dollars, which is only one-fifth of the market value of You Tubi.

Although You Tubi is just a short video sharing station and does not have any substantial profit model, its amazing advertising promotion model, as well as the list of rankings recommended by Internet fans and fans around the world, its value is incomparable, far exceeding that of ordinary video websites, and the gold content is extremely high.

As a result, the value of the recommendation position of the Youtubi video website itself has also risen.

Zhang Heng's idea is to add value again behind this high-value income, because of the characteristics of global support for genuine works in this era, if the VIP fee system of Youku video website is added to Youtubi, the latter is very likely to have a qualitative leap!

To Zhang Heng's surprise, in Zack's investigation, You Tubi at this moment, before realizing his value, there was a bad incident of broken funds and unsustainable employee salaries.

Is this a providence?

Zhang Heng thought with great interest, intervening in You Tubi at this time, not only can he buy shares at a very low value, but it may be very likely to stage a wholly-owned acquisition in 2006 in his previous life, but the protagonist of the acquisition is no longer Google Technology, but the little-known Nirvana Film and Television Company.

"Does the boss mean to merge and acquire this video site, and then launch "Yanjing Ghoul" on the website?"

At this time, Cheng Huiyou, the leader of the animation team, was worried: "I'm not denying the boss's opinion, but this website is a foreign website after all, and in addition, the traffic of the website is not even 10,000 people, so I'm worried...... The work will flow. ”

If you can't produce high-value works, they will be eliminated by the market, and the industry is collectively referred to as the flow of works.

Zhang Heng's fingers slapped on the table and promoted the ideas he had considered: "If "Yanjing Ghoul" is broadcast for free, how much traffic do you think can be boosted on the website?" ”

The conference room fell silent.

In the long run, this aspect is indeed feasible, and it is absolutely understandable to lose the online income of an animation work in exchange for future traffic, but ...... No confidence!

Everyone looked at each other.

Not only are Cheng Huiyou and other high-level executives not confident, but even Ye Hui, the general manager, is not confident!

Even Wei Lan, who knew Zhang Heng very well, was sweating for Zhang Heng's bold move at this time.

According to the box office of "Five Centimeters per Second" of 30 million yuan in a single day, "Yanjing Ghoul" is very likely to break 100 million yuan at the box office on the day of its release, and it is not impossible to break through hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office in a month.

Is it feasible to lose hundreds of millions of dollars to support and cultivate an emerging video website?

And where to recruit relevant talent for video sites now?

Even if it is a merger and acquisition, taking over all the employees of the original website and letting them develop on their own, is it still too late to talk about the date and time of the film's release, as well as the concept of contacting and integrating new and old employees?

All kinds of difficulties spread out, so that everyone on the scene is not optimistic about this project.

"Regarding the acquisition, Wei Lan, you go to Mr. Chen, the president of the website, to discuss, Ye Hui, you now instruct the technical department to update the latest news on the official website, "Yanjing Ghoul" has postponed the release plan!"

"Hold off for a few days?" Ye Hui said solemnly.

"A week!" Zhang Heng waved his hand, then got up, greeted Wei Lan, and left the conference room together.

Only Ye Hui and the others who looked at each other were left.

"The boss can do whatever he wants, although there is some authoritarianism, but in the final analysis, this company is supported by the boss after all......"

Someone sighed, with a regretful expression on his face, obviously unwilling to let the boss acquire You Tubi.

"It's not that I'm against ......" and someone smiled bitterly: "Haven't you noticed, we can't keep up with the boss's vision now, and the boss's goal is likely to be unwilling to only do content ......"

"But to be a platform, you have to have experience in making a platform! We do content, because we are experts in this area, and the boss sometimes writes songs and scripts himself, isn't that the best proof of content output? If we abandon our own advantages and become an inexperienced platform, it is very likely that we will delay the progress of Nirvana......"

A group of people are worried here, and most of them are not optimistic about the boss abandoning their own advantages and running to do the platform.

Although the platform makes money, it is not a familiar field after all, which is equivalent to crossing the border and fighting with the bare hands of those giants who do platforms!

Ye Hui also shook his head and sighed, the talented boss finally began to be unwilling to be lonely and walked towards a bigger stage......

If at this moment, Ye Hui and others knew that Zhang Heng not only had the intention to be a platform, but also implemented actions a long time ago, invested in two major social and shopping platforms, including Facebook and Taobao, and had already begun to set up microblog social networking sites such as Xinhai Weibo, I don't know how Ye Hui and others here would feel.

Whether it is Facebook, Taobao, or even the microblog social networking site "Twitter" that is being arranged, or You Tubi, which is now taking action to acquire it, these websites, in the future, are all super Internet empires worth tens of billions of dollars at every turn.

Fundamentally speaking, Nirvana Film and Television Company is too weak in terms of capital and prospects in the face of these Internet empires.

……

In the corridor of the company, Zhang Heng was in front and Wei Lan was behind, all walking silently, and the atmosphere was harmonious and strict.

When passing by the office hall, all the staff looked at this scene intentionally or unintentionally, and sighed in their hearts, the boss and Assistant Wei are really talented and beautiful......

Because of some Wen Jiàn's handling, Cui Zhenzhen, the president's secretary who has been busy in the hall, bit her lip with a sad look when she saw Zhang Heng and Wei Lan walking in front of her, and she also wanted to follow the boss like this and pass by in the office hall......

That scene made her happy when she thought about it, but as the new secretary to the president, her workload was much more cumbersome than Wei Lan's, so she could only put her grievances in her heart and look forward to the day when the salted fish turned over.

Soon after, in the president's office.

Zhang Heng sat on the sofa, and after Wei Lan took two cups of coffee, the two sat opposite each other.

Zhang Heng looked at Wei Lan and said, "Before talking about the acquisition of You Tubi, Alan, I hope you can confess to me. ”

Wei Lan's eyes moved slightly, and she said, "Confess? I don't know what the boss suspects about me. ”

Zhang Heng took out a photo from his arms, this photo was one of the photos given to her by her grandfather Zhang Qisong last year, in the photo, Wei Lan and Zhou Jieyu were in a pavilion in front of a majestic palace, smiling and talking with each other, and their expressions were very familiar.

After Wei Lan glanced at it, she fell silent.

Zhang Heng looked at her, didn't say a word, and waited quietly.

After a while, Wei Lan suddenly smiled.

Her smile was particularly charming, not at all as dignified and glamorous as usual, which made Zhang Heng slightly stunned.

"Where did you get the photos? Oh, or rather, how did you find me? Wei Lan smiled playfully.

Zhang Heng suddenly shuddered, feeling that he had confessed to Wei Lan today whether he had picked the wrong time.

This little girl has completely lost her previous deference and respect......

It's like tearing through the mask of camouflage and completely changing a person!

"The photo was given to me ......by my grandfather," Zhang Heng looked a little unconfident, "Hmm...... At the beginning of spring last year, when I was at the Zhongshan Temple Fair, my grandfather and his old man sued me. ”

Wei Lan chuckled, her eyelashes fluttering: "I knew it was that time, because from that time on, you seemed to have deliberately avoided me." Especially recently, I also deliberately communicated with Mr. Ye and arranged Secretary Cui to be by your side......"

Zhang Heng's face was a little embarrassed, and it seemed that he was in the heart of Wei Lan's words.

Wei Lan put her hand on her chin, stared at Zhang Heng, leaned over and smiled, "Why did you say it until now?" It's been almost two years......"

"I've mentioned it to you before, but you didn't deny it!" Zhang Heng scratched his head, completely looking like a child, and he didn't see the strength in the conference room before.

Wei Lan thought thoughtfully: "Have you seen her?" ”

"See." Zhang Heng remembered what happened in Washington last year, Zhou Jieyu's sudden appearance, as if Danqing rendered the page, leaving a heavy ink color in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face: "She is very good, better than I imagined." ”

"I envy you!"

Wei Lan nodded, took a deep breath, and stood up, "That's okay, my task is also completed, this time the little princess will no longer complain about the untimely report, I hope to see you next time, it will be the day you marry the little princess." ”

Zhang Heng smiled bitterly, he knew that once he confessed to Wei Lan, with her temper, he would definitely not want to continue to stay in the company.

"Is there anything else to discuss?" Zhang Heng said succinctly.

Wei Lan smiled and shook her head: "Everyone has a bottom line, since I have been exposed by you, it is also time for me to withdraw, besides, when the princess sent me, it was only to assist you in your growth." ”

"It's just that even I didn't expect that your ability would be unexpectedly powerful!"

Wei Lan recalled the past, and sighed with emotion: "In just three years, not only have you obtained today's wealth and status with one hand, but in other aspects, you have also achieved what no one can ......."

"Even the Lafayette in the palace is praising your advanced vision: far-sighted, nothing more!"

"So, I'm looking forward to the moment when you brave the palace!" Wei Lan pushed open the door of the office and turned around: "Of course, before this, you have to continue to work hard, the palace is not something you can break into if you want to!" ”
