Chapter 1390 Settlement (4K)
Douyin is a project led by Fan Minggang, deputy director of Yishi, a department under Yike. Once established, it received investments from domestic and foreign institutions such as IDG, Shenxin Science and Technology, Yike Investment, Sina Investment, and European PGC.
It is said that this is a highly independent project, and some people also say that Yi Ke simply moved out half of its department to create it.
But no matter what, the vigorous promotion of Yike through multiple channels proves the importance it holds. However, this importance is given in the form of incubation, which is somewhat confusing.
The industry is pondering the latest moves of the giant Yike, while users are igniting their curiosity about the new software, and the records of the daily life of Yike’s boss have been shared a lot.
The head of Yike is almost as famous as the company's products. In addition to many impressive product launches, frequent appearances in the media, occasional calls from competitors, and ups and downs in the financial market to reap shorts, he is also a man who has become the world's richest man in front of many audiences.
In order to obtain investment, Fang Zhuo once took Yike to the CCTV stage and participated in an entrepreneurial program, contributing a lot of screen time to everyone.
And now, he has truly become the richest man in the world.
It was not that he temporarily became the richest man twice during the Yike Defense War, but that he truly became the person with the most wealth in the world on paper after the release of the Mars 8.8 series.
Fang Zhuo has been gradually reducing his holdings in the company's shares over the years, and the pace of reduction has significantly increased in the past two years. The reasons he gave were "improving his life" and "paying more attention to charity." But even so, after the surge in Yike's stock price, his estimated wealth is still over $1200 billion, exceeding Bill Gates' $760 billion.
According to some media analysis, the funds sold by Yike’s boss may have been used in the financial market, or may have been transferred to an institutional vest and then returned to continue holding the company’s shares. After all, he has the famous MIGA fund under his control.
"Mr. Fang's move to reduce his holdings was too late. At YiKe's current growth rate, he will probably have to continue to be the world's richest man for a few more years unwillingly. The rich are always very secretive about their wealth." The deputy editor-in-chief of Forbes made such remarks after entering 2015.
However, those are factors on another level. Today's world's richest man has many past experiences clearly recorded, and when short videos appear and there is someone around him who is willing to share, things become more interesting.
"Mr. Fang, take a look at the high-sounding speeches you made when you were young."
"Come on, Mr. Fang, there's new stuff. It was edited by netizens. Mr. Fang went to a competitor's store to sell Taikang Insurance."
"Mr. Fang, when you were about to hostilely acquire Sina, you met Sina CEO Mr. Wang Yan at the TV station. What did you say to him?"
When TikTok was launched, Fang Zhuo, as one of the investors, only asked Su Wei to shoot two videos casually, which could be considered as a help. However, Su Wei became more and more addicted to it, and was very happy to share some embarrassing videos of Fang Zhuo edited by netizens, and then film his embarrassed expression and upload it.
The editing tool was also launched online along with the first batch of users' trying out, recording and using it, and it helped many people to edit videos for the first time in their lives.
As the world's richest man whom the platform is trying to promote, his simple life records and past video footage, as well as the positive feedback from Su Wei, have prompted more people to like, comment, forward and create secondary works.
In just one week, Fang Zhuo had the illusion that he had become a moderately famous internet celebrity.
"Alright, tell TikTok to stop pushing and you to stop filming. This is totally irrelevant. If you really want to record your life, just use a small account to film Xiaoman. If you keep going like this..."
Fang Zhuo was speechless.
"If you don't want to shoot, then don't. Xiaoman is much more handsome than you." Su Wei was a little dissatisfied. She came to help Douyin in response to this guy's call, but now he has turned against her.
Fang Zhuo showed patience: "I still have to be associated with the company brand to some extent. One moment I was like a lackey, and the next moment I was like a lackey. The time left for you is short, Nokia, Sony, Penguin. I don't need this."
"What's wrong with that? You're successful now, and those are just medals. I think they're very good. Most people come here because they like you." Su Wei disagreed.
Fang Zhuo’s patience ran out, and he made the final decision: “If you take photos again, I will block your account!”
Su Wei made a "tsk" sound, but she finally respected the person's wishes and planned to really change to a smaller trumpet to pat her son.
However, while she was taking a break, another old friend not only joined Douyin, but also clearly wrote their relationship on her name.
——Li Guoqing (former partner and rival of the world’s richest man).
Half a month after the launch of Tik Tok, Li Guoqing finally came over after much thought.
Unlike others who were guessing, Li Guoqing was the first to know that Yi Ke was providing manpower, money and traffic to create a short video platform, and he almost found someone to do the same within the first hour.
His experiences and reviews over the past few years have led him to a conclusion: never, ever, ever doubt Mr. Fang’s vision.
In this case, the short video track is likely to have great prospects.
Moreover, the project is logically sound. Now we are at 4G, and the communication infrastructure is being further covered and enhanced. Although the growth of smartphones has slowed down, it is still moving upward overall.
This is likely to give rise to new forms of social, media and entertainment.
Li Guoqing thought calmly for a long time, tried out the gameplay of Douyin, and read the discussions and analysis of his peers. In the end... he gave up.
Yes, short videos look beautiful.
However, if Yi Ke mobilizes resources to do it, even if they can raise money and find people, how can they compete with the increasingly powerful Yi Ke-affiliated Douyin?
To take a step back, even if he could make some progress, the final outcome would probably still be to rely on a giant, and things would end up in a mess again.
Li Guoqing thought about it and decided that instead of becoming a rival of Yike, it would be better to try to make something happen within this new platform. New forms of social interaction and entertainment will inevitably give birth to new representatives.
He saw that Mr. Fang's daily life videos could get millions of likes. On the one hand, he envied the influence of the world's richest man, and on the other hand, he was shocked by the increase in user data of Tik Tok in such a short period of time.
Within two weeks, with the promotion of the YMS ecosystem, the support of YiXin traffic, and the promotion across the entire network, Douyin seemed to be going all out from the beginning, intending to use speed to defeat slowness.
On January 1, Li Guoqing, who was cautiously trying to shoot short videos, met an unexpected person - Xiang Hailong, vice president of Du Ji.
No, isn’t Du Ji fighting a desperate search and defense war with Yi Ke?
How come the second or third child of this Duji is going to Douyin to take pictures of the flowers, birds, insects and fish at home?
A guess flashed through Li Guoqing's mind, and he asked a question in the comment section: Is Mr. Xiang no longer in Baidu?
Xiang Hailong has just completed his resignation from Duji. He has been thinking about the new short video product launched by Yike this week, but he has no intention of working on competing projects. Just as he told Li Yanhong, he plans to do the work of an investor.
Therefore, he actively keeps pace with the times and tries to see what the vision of international giants is.
Xiang Hailong used his real name, and his face flashed by. He didn’t expect that he could be recognized. He looked at the ID “Li Guoqing (former partner and rival of the world’s richest man)” in the comment area and was really confused... Ah, how can this Douyin user name be so long...
After hesitating for a while, he finally replied to his senior with a little disdain.
“Yes, retire early and enjoy life.”
Xiang Hailong was in a good mood, but when he saw Li Guoqing's reply, he almost stumbled.
Li Guoqing: "Now that you're gone, Du Ji is really going to be crushed by Yi Ke!"
Xiang Hailong replied with a little more emotion: "Boss Qingzi, what are you talking about? Duji is the number one search brand in the country in terms of market share."
"Haha, why are you pretending with me? I'm afraid it won't be the case in the first half of this year. Don't worry about it. I've been crushed before." Li Guoqing was very frank.
Xiang Hailong then took another look at the content added after his own name: "Former partner and rival of the world's richest man". He just did it, and he was so complacent about it.
But then again, as the opponent gradually becomes stronger, I'm afraid that Qingzi's feelings will also change.
Who did he lose to? He lost to the richest man in the world!
Who crushed this? The world's richest man's international giant company crushed this!
No matter who comes, it won’t work!
Xiang Hailong did not reply to President Qingzi. He had been under great competition from Yi Ke in the past two years and had no interest in discussing the matter. However, such a conversation in a video with little traffic was quickly noticed, edited and spread.
Not many people watched the content shot by the former vice president of Duji, but his resignation and conversation with Li Guoqing were of particular interest, and many users flocked to it.
Some are there to curse, some are there to gossip, and some are there just to watch the fun.
Xiang Hailong found that his fans were growing rapidly, and he quickly experienced the timeliness of short videos.
He hesitated for a night and thought it would be a good idea to try something in a new track. The next day he changed his name to Xiang Hailong (the vice president who was crushed).
It was not until the third day that Duji, which had not yet announced the resignation of its vice president, discovered that the news was already flying everywhere.
Li Yanhong looked at the media reports, the screenshots of him hanging out on Douyin, and the latest name changes of his former right-hand man, and felt angry and sad.
Even if you resign, let's part ways in peace. This is your former employer. You have earned enough money to be financially independent. Why bother flirting on your biggest rival's turf?
Li Yanhong couldn't help but send a message to Xiang Hailong on Yixin, tactfully suggesting that his activities were inappropriate.
Xiang Hailong only replied: "Robin, even you are using Yixin to communicate with me. Stop it, everyone out there is using Yike."
Li Yanhong had only browsed Douyin as a tourist and had not yet registered to use it. But after reading these words from the former vice president, thinking about the absolute strength of the Yike system, thinking about the search market that had been eroded by Duji, and thinking about the possibility that he might never be able to successfully transform, he felt his heart shattered.
Be crushed to pieces, be crushed to pieces, be crushed to pieces!
……
Apart from acting as an assistant in promoting Douyin, Fang Zhuo did not pay much attention to its development strategy and resource investment.
YMS is the behind-the-scenes leader in mobilizing Yike system resources. President Qi He has proved with facts that he has sufficient competitiveness. Duji has been seriously damaged and is expected to hand over the throne of search within this year.
Tik Tok now has a leading advantage, with mobile traffic from YiXin, strong support from multimedia platforms, and rich people. He does not think there is any possibility of failure.
In this case, Fang Zhuo's main attention is still on the changes on Meilijian's side.
Yu Hong arrived in Shanghai on January 1, and the subsequent meeting in Washington was attended by American President Schroeder. However, after Yu Hong declined for the first time, Schroeder carried out the proposal without any concessions.
Based on the current situation, Yike is unwilling to change wafer manufacturers.
At the latest meeting, Luca, the economic adviser of the White House, asked a question in confusion: "Do you know what this means? I think that the manufacturing process of IceCore International is unacceptable at this level!"
Luca didn't have the patience to negotiate any further and clearly showed some people's attitudes.
Can not accept!
The time to act may have become limited.
"It's a question of competitiveness. We believe that there are problems with the wafer manufacturing processes of both Taiji and Samsung. We have no reason to abandon Bingxin's process." Schroeder was more tactful than Yu Hong.
"Taiji's craftsmanship is definitely better than Bingxin International!" Luca emphasized.
"Then why are they not No. 1 in the world? Don't they like it?" Schroeder asked.
Luca knocked on the table and gave the final informal notice: "Schroeder, Yi Ke needs to think seriously, we will not have the next meeting."
This is the final consultation conducted by the BIS led by White House economic advisers.
Schroeder just agreed again and said he would give it serious consideration.
Just after the meeting, Fang Zhuo received another call from his close friend Austin, discussing the current situation and future of Yike.
"There's nothing much to say. Yike fully complies with business rules and laws and regulations. What do you want me to say?" Fang Zhuo's attitude was very calm. He did not have the frenzy that he had shown in complaining about the manufacturer's arson, nor did he have the condescending attitude of the world's richest man.
"Laws and regulations... Mr. Fang, if this continues, you may actually see new regulations..." Austin didn't know whether he should say that Mr. Fang was naive, and then realized that he would definitely have such an expectation, and if so, then it would be really troublesome.
He urged: "Boss Fang, Yike just needs to take a step back. Someone has promised me that Taiji will definitely provide chips for Yike, and Taiji is also happy to get a big customer like Yike."
"What Yike needs is long-term competitiveness. If it were replaced by Taiji, do you think there would be a product like Mars 8.8 that is one generation ahead of other competitors?" Fang Zhuo asked a question.
Austin was silent.
After a long while, he said helplessly: "Boss Fang, Yi Ke will be in big trouble."
"No problem, but you can delay it as long as you can. MIGA Fund has a new and good target. IceCore will be the foundry for AMD." Fang Zhuo mentioned the new partner, "It will bring wealth growth. No matter what happens to Yike and IceCore, remember to get a temporary license for AMD."
Austin perked up, then said with some disdain: "AMD's market value seems to be very small."
"Then make it a lot, which will take some time." Fang Zhuo said calmly, "We all need some time."
Austin always believed in Mr. Fang's business ability and the money-making ability of the MIGA Fund. If AMD could gain the soul of Yi Kexi, its body would surely be enriched quickly.
"I'll try my best, Mr. Fang." Austin said reluctantly.
Fang Zhuo said sympathetically, "Forget it if it doesn't work."
Austin changed his tone: "Mr. Fang, don't give up, never give up. The American company needs you, and our friendship needs you too."
