Chapter 322 Why should I leave?
As the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes.

When Lin Yicheng learned that Baidu had ended up like this, he felt very regretful.

If he had known this would happen, he would have taken the opportunity to do something to add insult to injury.

Even if we can't kill him, we should at least cripple him.

However, Lin Yicheng knew that Old Li would definitely be punished this time.

Even if Baidu is able to unblock the account after some time, Lao Li himself will have to pay a heavy price.

At the very least, his shares in a certain company will have to be significantly reduced.

This is customary.

Whether now or in the future, it is not easy to be the richest man or the second richest man.

Maybe it's okay when you don't make mistakes.

If you make a mistake, you will suffer the consequences.

After Li suffers heavy losses, it is still uncertain whether Baidu can still maintain its leading position in the search field.

Sogou, 360 and others have long been eyeing Baidu.

They would definitely not miss such a good opportunity.

They will definitely take the opportunity to seize the market share that originally belonged to a certain company.

Try to see if you can pull Baidu down from the throne and take its place.

Even if we can't pull it down, we have to at least divide the world into three parts, and we can't let Baidu continue to dominate the market.
-

Since ancient times, killing a chicken to scare the monkey has been very useful.

What’s more, this time it’s just a warning to others.
If Baidu is like this, how can Youku, Tudou and others not be afraid?
You know, there are so many pirated movies and TV series on their video websites.

This of course includes those that tell of the glorious times of decades ago.

If I offend any seniors or their descendants again...

I can't afford it, I really can't afford it.

Starting from June 6th.

Netizens were surprised to find that the film and television resources in their commonly used video software began to decrease significantly.

Many of the movies and TV shows they had watched or were watching suddenly disappeared and could not be watched.

There aren't many left that are worth watching.

Without you, Zhang the Butcher, do I still have to eat hairy pigs?
Since you can't watch it at home, I'll just use another software.

pity.

These netizens kept changing and changing for several times.

We also discovered that, except for Galaxy Video and LeTV Video, all other well-known video software had the same problem.

Then there's no way.

Just use Galaxy Video or LeTV Video in the future.

From July 6th to September 28rd.

It only took three short days.

The number of user registrations on Xinghe Video has skyrocketed by about 10%!

Moreover, this growth trend will continue for some time.

After these newly registered users have used Galaxy Video, they will personally discover the advantages of Galaxy Video over other video software - functionality and convenience.

By then, a large number of them will become loyal users of Galaxy Video.

After hearing Yan Siming's phone call announcing the good news, Lin Yicheng's reaction was very calm.

All of this was within his expectations.

He is not a saint.

If it's not good for me, it's not good for the Galaxy.

Why did he plan so hard and for so long to launch this "Internet copyright war"?

I just hung up the phone with Yan Siming.

Boss Jia also called.

I'm here to thank Lin Yicheng.

Thanks to Lin Yicheng for authorizing and sharing those film and television copyrights with LeTV.

Boss Jia readily admitted to Lin Yicheng that during these three days, the number of new users of LeTV reached about 6%.

Although this number is not as high as that of Galaxy Film and Television.

But Boss Jia was very satisfied with this.

The most important thing for a video website is its users.

The value of a video website is directly proportional to the number of its users.

With just over a month left, LeTV will go public.

At this critical juncture, the number of LeTV users has exploded.

So, is there any need to think about LeTV’s listing prospects?
Benefit!

Absolutely great news!

Boss Jia felt very emotional.

Although he signed a "capitulation treaty" with Lin Yicheng that night and was forced to serve as a weapon for Lin Yicheng.

But the final result is extremely beautiful.

At the very least, after LeEco goes public, Boss Jia will be "suffocated", and everyone at LeEco will also be "suffocated".

On the phone, Boss Jia patted his chest to express his loyalty to Lin Yicheng and said a lot of things.

The meaning is probably "From now on, if the master gives you orders, I will serve you like a dog or a horse, and I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."

Hearing this, Lin Yicheng was still a little confused.

Although Boss Jia also ate meat this time.

But this is what they deserve for working so hard and risking their lives.

Distribution according to work.

Do you have to be so humble and such a bootlicker?

Before Lin Yicheng could figure it out, he heard Boss Jia starting to practice Tai Chi in a confusing manner.

After listening for a minute or two, just when Lin Yicheng was getting impatient and wanted to hang up the phone.

Boss Jia finally began to ask Lin Yicheng in a roundabout way about his relationship with the senior who made the final move and made the final decision.
Lin Yicheng was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized.

He knew why the old senior took action because his godfather told him, and his godfather knew it because that person told him.

Boss Jia’s status is not enough.

Naturally, many inside information is unknown.

From Boss Jia’s perspective.

Starting from the Internet Conference, a thunder operation was launched there.

It's all one whole line.

Well, the action taken by that old senior is also an important link online.

Whenever he thought of this, Boss Jia couldn't help but gasp.

Lin Yicheng was able to ask such an old senior to help, so what was the relationship between Lin Yicheng and that old senior? How deep was the unknown background and power behind Lin Yicheng?
It seems that I had underestimated Lin Yicheng before.

It’s so great!
If possible, Boss Jia would like to be Lin Yicheng's younger brother forever!

Shabby? Not at all!

Lin Yicheng knew that Boss Jia had misunderstood.

He immediately explained that there was no relationship between him and the old senior.

He really didn't dare to casually use the tiger skin of this level.

Unfortunately.

Boss Jia didn't believe it at all.

I thought Lin Yicheng was being modest and trying to avoid suspicion.

"Boss Lin, I understand. I understand everything. Don't worry. I, Jia, am very tight-lipped. I won't say a single word."

Boss Jia's way of addressing Lin Yicheng had changed unconsciously.

It changed from the original "you" of equal communication to "you" with respect.

You know nothing!
Lin Yicheng was about to continue speaking, asking Boss Jia not to make blind guesses.

"Boss Lin, please go ahead and do your work. I won't waste your time. If there is anything you need me to do in the future, just let me know. I will never say no."

After saying that, Boss Jia hung up the phone.

Listen to the busy tone on the phone.

Lin Yicheng was a little amused.

I thought about it.

Forget it, if it’s a misunderstanding, then let it be a misunderstanding.

Boss Jia is not a fool, he would definitely not say such things casually.

Moreover, there are some benefits to Boss Jia's misunderstanding.

Boss Jia’s gun is really useful.

When he meets the enemy, he really dares to stab!

Then next time, when it is inconvenient for Lin Yicheng to take action personally, he can use Boss Jia again.
-

How many new registered users did Galaxy Video and LeTV Video gain?

This is a trade secret.

I don't know about other video sites.

But they know how many users they have lost in the past few days.

Youku and Tudou suffered particularly heavy losses.

Faced with this situation, Youku and Tudou became anxious.

The company is about to go public in the United States, and will earn huge amounts of US dollars in the future.

Such a big accident happened.

How is this possible?

Users must be won back.

What do video websites rely on?
Of course it’s the content.

Now people don’t dare to pirate it.

Then the only option is to buy the copyright.

Fortunately, film and television copyrights are very cheap and don’t cost much at all.

Compared with the losses caused by it, it is not even a drop in the bucket.

I didn’t buy it before because I thought it was unnecessary and I was too lazy to buy it.

It’s not possible now.

As a result, video websites such as Youku and Tudou sent people to contact those digital distributors.

Purchase existing film and television copyrights from them, and entrust them to purchase other film and television copyrights.

Those digital distributors were immediately delighted.

Finally, the situation has changed.

With such a good opportunity, of course they would raise the price.

The price of TV series and movies that were originally worth only a few thousand or even a few hundred yuan per episode was more than ten times higher than that.

There are also some old antiques from twenty or thirty years ago, or even forty or fifty years ago, which are now clearly priced.

what?
Do you think it's too expensive? Do you think we've raised the price temporarily?
Then you don’t have to buy it!
Or you can go look somewhere else.

The purchasing staff sent by video websites such as Youku and Tudou have all received a death order, so how dare they not buy?

There is no choice but to find a second or third digital distributor.

But after searching around, they found a fact that they had to accept.

Just like the classic scene in "The Mansion Gate".

"Eaten by bugs and bite by rats, bare and hairless, just a torn cotton jacket..."

All digital distributors offer exactly the same price!

nonsense.

These digital distributors have put in so much effort this time, they certainly can't just do it in vain.

They had already made an agreement with each other when they jointly wrote the letter.

Uniform price!

If anyone dares to lower the price privately, we will attack him! ——

The purchasing staff of the video website had no choice but to call the headquarters to seek their boss's advice.

After hearing the news, Gu Yongqiang, Wang Wei and others gritted their teeth and made a decision.

buy!
Although they spent a little more, it made them feel a little painful.

But if you don’t buy it, it will be more painful in the future, even fatal.

Don't let the small lose the big.

Just leave it at that.

Starting from July.

The price of Internet copyrights for film and television dramas has risen.

It's no longer as cheap as before.

Let’s not talk about popular dramas and high-quality dramas. For example, the Internet copyright price of TV dramas that could only be broadcast on local TV stations (city-level TV stations or provincial TV stations’ second-category channels) was only one or two hundred yuan per episode at most.

The whole drama only cost a few thousand yuan.

Even this can’t be sold.

All we can do is watch those video websites pirate videos at will.

it's good now.

A TV series that can only be broadcast on local TV stations can only sell tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of copies.

Don't ever think it's too little.

You know, when they sell this kind of drama to TV stations, the price is only one or two million.

Even so, the TV stations often delay the payment of the balance, and in the end I can't even get the full payment.

Nowadays, there is not only income from Internet copyright.

What’s more, digital distributors are very happy to pay - you receive the money and the goods.

This is like a blessing from heaven for some smaller film and television companies.

They were originally short of funds and could only struggle to survive, and even found it difficult to continue, but they suddenly showed new vitality.

Some people with a keen sense of smell have discovered that the spring of the film and television industry has quietly arrived.

Although this is just a little bit of spring, it may not even be the beginning of spring.

But it's always a good sign, isn't it?

Who should be credited for all this?

Of course it’s the new leader, the boss, Lin Yicheng!
Even so, people in the film and television industry have no idea that this "online copyright war" was driven by Lin Yicheng alone.

But they still knew about the application submitted by China Film, Galaxy Film, Bona Film Group and Media Communications to a certain bureau.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that China Film Group Corporation is leading the charge.

But who doesn’t know what the relationship is between China Film, Bona, Media Communications and Lin Yicheng?
Lin Yicheng is the leader of this small group, and the other three families all follow Lin Yicheng's lead!
Look, the application has just been submitted, and the corresponding regulations have not yet been issued, but the tangible benefits have already arrived.

If the regulations really come out, won’t the benefits be even greater?
Lin Yicheng, the boss and the leader, does his job well, brilliantly and amazingly!

It’s much stronger than the previous Huayi!

We will definitely choose you again next time!

Boss Lin is vindictive and ruthless, so what?
As long as we don't provoke Boss Lin, or even have the delusion of competing for the position of the leader.

Boss Lin won't take action against us.

As long as we follow Boss Lin obediently, we will have plenty of opportunities to eat meat and drink soup in the future.

This way.

Starting from July.

Lin Yicheng's reputation and image in the circle suddenly became exceptionally great.

In the past, colleagues were forced to acknowledge Lin Yicheng’s status as the boss, and inevitably had some other views and opinions in their hearts.

Now, he has begun to begin to recognize Lin Yicheng.

From now on, if Lin Yicheng has any actions or initiatives, as long as he raises his hand and calls for action, even if it doesn’t mean “win the food and the people will follow”, there will definitely be more responders and supporters.

After Zhong Lifang reported all the latest developments in the circle to Lin Yicheng.

Lin Yicheng smiled with satisfaction.

From today on, he, as the leader, finally felt and enjoyed being the boss.

really not bad.

But this is just the beginning.

In the future, we must continue to work hard to completely solidify our status as the leading company, making it undisputed.

That’s all for the future.

For now, Lin Yicheng has to continue to be busy - busy with the editing and post-production of "The Heist".
-

mid-December.

Yangcheng.

A certain hotel.

This place is booked today.

"... Before, although we were a team, we had never gathered together offline..."

"...Everyone has made a lot of efforts for CC. I have seen it and I remember it in my heart..."

"…This gathering is, first of all, to provide everyone with an opportunity to get to know each other, so that we can work together better in the future…"

"...I would also like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to everyone... Today, even if it is just a small token of my appreciation, I would like to reward and comfort you all..."

"...I also hope that everyone will continue to work hard in the promotion of the next movie...When the movie is a big hit, we will celebrate at a five-star hotel. By then, everyone will have a generous red envelope..."

Looking at the middle-aged woman standing in the middle of the hall, holding a glass of red wine, speaking passionately and inspiringly.

Ma Yingjun curled his lips in disdain.

The hotel was indeed booked.

But what level of hotel is this?

It's just one of those ordinary roadside restaurants - including the private rooms, there are only about ten or eight tables in the entire restaurant.

Moreover, the area where the hotel is located is relatively remote and has low traffic.

In response to this, the middle-aged woman explained that she wanted to have some quiet time without being disturbed by outsiders.

Ma Yingjun didn't believe it at all.

If you really want quiet time, aren't there plenty of high-end clubs or places with private dining options?
Although Ma Yingjun had never been to that kind of place, he had heard about it from the rich woman he had accompanied before.

To put it bluntly, middle-aged women still want to save money.

I came all the way from Hong Kong Island to Guangzhou specifically to find this shabby place.

Look at the food on the table again.

The corners of Ma Yingjun's mouth twitched again.

There were eight people sitting at their table, and they served six dishes in total!
There were four damn cold dishes and only two meat dishes - one boiled chicken and one boiled meatballs.

This is just a little bit, who can eat it?
Let’s look at alcoholic beverages.

There was only a bottle of red wine. I didn’t recognize the brand, but it looked very cheap, probably worth a few dozen yuan at most.

And a big bottle of Sprite.

Then it was gone.

I bother!

He is so stingy!

Ma Yingjun looked at his deskmate again - there were no other tables, only this one.

That is to say, their team, including the middle-aged women, has only nine people in total!
As for the "gentle and lovely girl" that was promised at the beginning...

Fake, all fake!
Thinking of this, Ma Yingjun felt so sad that he wanted to slap himself hard in the face.

Why did I believe her lies?

He flew all the way here from Gan Province - he paid for the air ticket out of his own pocket, and the middle-aged woman did not reimburse him.

The results of it?
Forget about “gentle and lovely girls”, there isn’t even a female among his desk mates!
They are all grown men!

I guess, like him, she was deceived by this so-called "gentle and lovely girl".

Ma Yingjun's throat moved a few times.

He swallowed back the thick phlegm in his mouth that he was about to spit out.

I was even more angry.

Back then, I was first deceived by her daughter, and now I'm deceived by her again!
Originally, Ma Yingjun thought that the "Wu Xin Sheng Liu Cheng Yin" was just the leader of this so-called team.

It was only after we met that I knew who she was.

He had seen this person on TV and on the Internet before.

Now that I think about it, her name "Unintentional Willows Grow, and Willows Grow into Shade" is quite appropriate.

She was indeed the one who gave birth to her.

"...Everyone, please don't be polite. We are all family. We must eat and drink well today..."

As soon as the middle-aged woman finished speaking, her cell phone rang.

She took her cell phone and walked out.

Only the eight grown men at the table were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Ma Yingjun thought about it.

Although the food on this table is not enough to fill you up and is not worth the money.

But you still have to eat it.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a big loss for him to fly all the way here?
You must eat hard!

Make up for it a little bit!

So Ma Yingjun picked up the chopsticks and reached towards the boiled meatballs.

Seeing Ma Yingjun's actions, the other seven men suddenly realized what was going on.

They all took action together.

They all reached out their chopsticks for the boiled meatballs or the white-cut chicken...

In a short while, both dishes were eaten up.

Seeing other people reaching for the cold dishes with their chopsticks, Ma Yingjun sneered in his heart.

He immediately opened the red wine and poured himself a full glass.

The others followed suit, snatching the red wine from Ma Yingjun and pouring it into their own glasses.

Unfortunately, when it was the fourth person's turn, the wine was gone.

"Waiter, bring another bottle of red wine."

The man shouted towards the bar.

"I'm sorry, your table is a set menu, which only includes one bottle of red wine. If you want to add another bottle, you will need to pay extra..."

After hearing what the waiter said, the eight men were all stunned again.

"Stingy, really stingy, this is the first time I've seen such a stingy person in my life."

"Pah! She's a famous star's mother, and she's just giving us these to eat?"

"I've seen through it all. I won't say anything. I'll leave after I finish eating. I won't do this job anymore."

"I'm done with this, too. Damn it. I came all the way from Northeast China, and the travel expenses alone cost me over a thousand. It's such a huge loss..."

The people at the same table started to complain.

However, despite all the complaints, no one was willing to pay for another bottle of red wine.

"Stop talking, eat now, or it will get cold."

I don’t know who reminded me.

"It's a cold dish, how cold can it be?"

Ma Yingjun took a sip of red wine and replied leisurely.

Having said that, his chopsticks were not idle and rushed towards a plate of century egg and tofu.

Then, everyone else started eating as well, gobbling up the food in no time.

It didn't take a while.

All six dishes were eaten up.
-

"Let's go, buddies. We'll meet again someday."

"Where are you from? I'm from..., is it on your way?"

"Let's go, let's go. This trip is so unlucky..."

"Fuck, when I get back, I will definitely tell everyone about this so that they can learn more..."

Just like that, everyone at the table stood up and left the restaurant.

Finally, Ma Yingjun was the only one left at the table.

Ma Yingjun was not in a hurry. He took out a toothpick and started picking his teeth leisurely.

After another ten minutes, Ma Yingjun had changed three toothpicks.

The middle-aged woman finally came back.

When I saw the situation at the dinner table, I was stunned.

After blinking for a long time, she looked at Ma Yingjun and asked, "Where are the others?"

Ma Yingjun slowly spit out the toothpick, then crossed his legs and chuckled, "Let's all go."

"what?"

The middle-aged woman was completely stunned.

Ma Yingjun tilted his head and looked at her carefully.

Don't mention it, even though he's a little older.

But the charm is still there.

When you're young, you must be pretty good looking.

After a long time, the middle-aged woman gradually came to her senses.

"Then why don't you leave?"

"Why should I leave?"

Ma Yingjun leaned back in his chair and asked.

But I was thinking in my heart, my air ticket money and my labor fee have not been paid yet.

If it weren’t for all this, how could I leave?
