ticket)

Li Yan's expression was a little complicated. That's what happened. Sun Yu was dismissed!

When I got angry, I forgot about it!

Sun Yu felt aggrieved. It was hard enough to be dismissed from his post, but now he was scolded in the middle of the night. It was really miserable:

"Director Li, you can only kill people with a nod, but you have already dismissed me from my position. I was demoted from the president of iQiyi to the leader of the development team, and I lead the development of 996 every day. Are you still scolding me like this, is it appropriate?"

Li Yan: "..."

"Director Li, you should scold Ma Yuanming! He is the current president of iQiyi. The failure of the lawsuit is also his fault, you go to him!"

The corner of Li Yan's mouth twitched, it seemed like this was true.

I just scolded you, how can I apologize?

I, the chairman of Baidu, don’t want to lose face?

He had no choice but to continue: "Is it over when you are dismissed? Will everything be fine?"

"The losses you caused to iQiyi and Baidu exceeded 100 billion. So it has nothing to do with you?"

"I can't scold you anymore?"

The corner of Sun Yu's mouth twitched, but he couldn't refute: "!!!"

Li Yan continued to curse: "You are trash!"

"Rubbish!"

"You should have been removed long ago!"

After that, Li Yan hung up the phone.

The corner of Sun Yu's mouth twitched, and his whole body felt bad.

This night, he had no sleep at all.

He just smoked a dull cigarette and looked out the window at the dark night, as if his career was dark and there was no light in sight.

Li Yan, who was angry and confused, called iQiyi's acting president Ma Yuanming and scolded him!

It's worse than scolding Sun Yu.

Ma Yuanming also felt aggrieved: "Chairman, all those things were done by Sun Yu before I took office. It's really none of my business. I'm wronged!"

"???"

"It has nothing to do with you?" Li Yan's mouth twitched, and he became even more angry: "Sun Yu said that he was dismissed, and it had nothing to do with him."

"You said you just took office, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Are you two trying to fix the bug for me from behind?"

Ma Yuanming looked complicated: "..."

Li Yan was furious: "Are you still wronged? You are wronged!"

"Now you are the president of iQiyi. It is your fault that iQiyi has developed well. If iQiyi does not develop well, it is your fault!"

"You don't want to find a way to solve the crisis and let iQiyi develop well, but you still complain to me? Is this how you become the president of iQiyi?"

"Yes, yes, the chairman has taught me a lesson. I will inform all the senior management to work overtime and have a meeting tomorrow!"

Li Yan frowned: "Don't work overtime on those formalisms. It's meaningless. Tell me how to solve it? What ideas and directions are there! Don't be vain."

Ma Yuanming sighed: "To be honest, Chairman, I have been suffering from insomnia recently, night after night, just thinking about this matter. I really have some ideas."

"Oh? Got an idea? Tell me." Li Yan suppressed the curse words he was about to say.

Ma Yuanming eloquently said: "Chairman, I have carefully analyzed the reasons for the success of Xingyi Video and the reasons for the failure of iQiyi. They are all the same, that is, whether there are high-quality copyrights and whether there are popular solo dramas!"

"In just the first month of 2012, Xingyi Video has launched three hit movies in one go. Naturally, it has become bigger and stronger, attracting a large number of members and users."

"And we at iQiyi don't have a hit drama that we can produce, so naturally we can't beat Xingyi Video."

Li Yan nodded: "That's the truth."

Ma Yuanming continued: "Xingyi Video's three hit movies, of which "Northern Love" and "Cliff" were both bought from Xinli Media. "Xialan" was also acquired by Ruo Sen. To put it bluntly, Xingyi Video's three hit movies

All the money was purchased!”

"The logic behind it is that if you buy a hit drama, it will become popular, it will explode, it will attract members, it will become bigger and stronger, and the platform will make money!"

"So we at iQiyi can do the same thing, buying dramas like crazy and buying popular solo dramas. As long as there are more hits, it will become popular and we can win back members and users!"

"If you can't bear to spend this money, then it's over, it's really over."

"What we need most right now is to buy more hit dramas and compete with Xingyi Video!"

Li Yan's face became solemn, but he also knew that what the other party said was reasonable: "Okay, go buy it. Buy the hottest items!"

Ma Yuanming was in a dilemma: "Director Li, you need funds to buy dramas. iQiyi has suffered a serious loss of members recently and cannot make ends meet. There is no money for year-end bonuses..."

Li Yan even laughed angrily: "Your performance is so bad, and you still want a year-end bonus?"

Ma Yuanming's mouth twitched: "..."

I really want to say that brothers have no merit but hard work.

But in the end he held it back because he was afraid of being scolded.

Li Yan sighed: "I'll give you 500 million to buy the copyright. I must destroy Xingyi Video and get back the membership!"

"Yes!" Ma Yuanming was in a good mood and finally had money.

Buy the copyright for 500 million, do some random operations, and get some yin and yang contracts, and you can easily squeeze out 50 to 100 million, which is considered as a benefit to the core executives of the company.

There is no way, iQiyi belongs to Sun Yu. When he first came to power, he had to express himself no matter what to win people's hearts!

The copyright for a drama's six-year exclusive online broadcast is 10 million to 30 million, and the remaining 400 million is enough to buy 20 dramas. There is no pressure at all.

Ma Yuanming raised the corner of his mouth and said decisively: "Chairman, iQiyi's reputation currently has some negative effects. The most criticized thing among users is that they are reluctant to spend money to buy dramas. Now that we have decided to spend huge sums of money to buy dramas, why not spread the word about it?

Wave, last hot search. In this way, iQiyi’s reputation can be restored, and it can also bring some positive impact to Baidu. Maybe the stock price will rise back in the evening!”

'You kid will cause trouble!'

Li Yan's eyes lit up and his face looked much better: "Okay, this is totally fine. I didn't see the wrong person!"

"Thank you, Chairman, for your support. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Ma Yuanming said with a smile and decisively started making arrangements.

The next day, New Year's Eve.

After breakfast, Wu Shuang drove Wang Yi and Song Sining straight to Jeju.

After being busy until New Year’s Eve, it’s time to take an annual vacation.

In the car, Wang Yi was playing with his mobile phone and scrolling through hot searches, when he was immediately attracted by a piece of news:

[IQIYI will spend 500 million to purchase dozens of hit single-broadcast dramas to give back to its members and fans!]

Wang Yi burst into laughter: "iQiyi has finally figured it out. It knows how to grab popular dramas for exclusive broadcast."

Song Sining also nodded: "Yes, it seems that they are also preparing for a big fight, but it seems to be a step too late."

"It's not a step too late, it's a hundred steps too late."

Wang Yixiao said: "Let iQiyi do whatever you want. It won't have much impact on us, but it will have a big impact on Youku and Sohu. Maybe the drama-stealing war will start in advance!"

"Chairman, do you think other platforms will follow suit? Will they also spend hundreds of millions to grab copyrights?" Song Sining was a little curious.

Wang Yi nodded: "I will definitely follow. As long as I don't want to be eliminated, I will definitely follow."

Sure enough, not long after, Sohu issued a statement:

[In 2012, Sohu spent 600 million to purchase popular independent broadcast dramas to create the strongest independent film and television library! 】

Seeing that both iQiyi and Sohu are taking action, Youku, the leading long-form video platform, naturally takes the lead:

[Youku spends 700 million to purchase the popular solo drama, Cool 2012! If you watch the drama, go to Youku!]

For a time, the entire long video platform became lively.

Several giants have entered the game and joined in the drama-stealing battle.

Now, the wealthy Goose Factory could no longer sit still and directly issued a statement:

[In 2012, Tencent Video will invest 1 billion to purchase exclusive broadcast rights!]

The fewer the words, the bigger the matter.

One billion in one breath, twice as much as the original iQiyi!

It directly overshadowed iQiyi.

This made Ma Yuanming furious, but he was helpless.

Tencent is rich and powerful, so what can it do?

Unless Baidu is allowed to invest another 500 million to catch up with Goose Factory.
