Chapter 604: The importance of networking

Many of the previous video sharing websites have been successful, and many have failed. The success model, Zhang Yang is very clear, as long as you copy the success stories of the previous life, you can even add some other mobile video APP mode.
But he also has to remember some failure modes to avoid falling into the pit.
In fact, this is not without video sharing sites, such as MSNVIDEO, etc., are also video sharing sites, but in Zhang Yang's view, the business model is too retro.
And in fact, many videos are infringing, but no one has complained for the time being.
In fact, when many people make claims, they also look at the dishes. The same thing, claims against the rich or large companies can often create sky-high prices, especially in the United States.
Once the video-sharing website of Zhang Yang's investment grows and it is known that Zhang Yang, the rich man, is behind the scenes, the amount of the claim will definitely surprise people.
There are two main problems with this mode of letting others upload videos. One is infringing on the copyrights of others. Many people buy discs or video tapes, and then upload and share the contents, which violates the interests of the video distribution company.
In fact, you will find a lot of tips when you start watching a lot of videos and CDs. It is only for personal or family viewing, and it is forbidden to spread it privately.
This is to protect the interests of image distribution companies, but in fact many people do not comply with this law.
Some people feel that they have seen it and it is useless. Sharing with others is also an adult beauty, and they don’t think they are wrong. At that time, you said that those film and television companies will be held accountable for their personal responsibility, or the platform?
This is actually very easy to solve. Zhang Yang hopes to create a short video sharing platform, so by limiting the length of the video, you can greatly avoid the emergence of some movie resources.
For example, the duration of uploading a video cannot exceed ten minutes. No one would be willing to watch a movie for ten minutes or ten minutes. This can greatly avoid the infringement of film and television copyrights.
However, there will still be many people sharing some film and television dramas, variety shows, or some MV, usually MV is about five minutes.
This will require a lawyer to formulate detailed protection clauses, so that those who want to claim compensation will go to the uploaded individuals.
Of course, the platform must also set up a review mechanism to review the content of the film. The first is that there must be no videos that clearly violate the law. For example, those that promote violence or homicide are absolutely not acceptable.
The second is age-restricted movies. This is legal in many regions, and it cannot be said to be completely banned. It is still very diversionary.
Then there are those that involve politics, and don’t have them now. Although this country in North America, which is known as freedom of speech, is actually just a different way of restriction here.
Of course, in the future, we will also optimize in many aspects such as movie definition and video format, and also optimize the page, so that users can find videos that interest them more quickly.
So it is better to add another algorithm to push it accurately. At the same time, it can also accurately push advertisements to increase revenue for the company in the future.
Zhang Yang arranged for Edson to build this platform first, and then went to find some investment partners.
In fact, this platform has to be built, and the amount of money spent is not much. Ten million dollars is enough, mainly for some servers and network architectures, and the cost is not much.
It may cost some money to promote, but it can't be more than tens of millions of dollars. If it doesn't work, it will be one or two billion dollars. Zhang Yang will definitely pay for it.
But for many businesses, it will be difficult to do it yourself, and it will be a lot of resistance. With partners, it will be much easier.
Just like Kurishenko's own PC brand, it is because he has the support of Chaowei Eagle Weida and other companies, it is easy to assemble a computer to ensure cost performance.
To be a video website, it is naturally inseparable from the support of those music and film companies. After all, the short video most people watch at this time is the MV. Of the 18 videos, many of them are long videos.
Fortunately, Zhiduoxing has cooperated with music copyright companies in North America, including websites that provide MP3 downloads, purchase music copyrights, etc., and also includes many MV copyrights.
When promoting VCD and DVD together with Wan Yan, they also bought a lot of movie copyrights and distributed them on CDs.
Now Zhang Yang is going to bring these companies together to invest in shares, so that if there is a problem in the future, everyone will communicate internally. There is no need to make a big deal.
Time Warner, Zhang Yang's first company to contact, the other party's CEO received Zhang Yang in the office.
Half an hour later, Zhang Yang left, with the other party's promise. The other party is willing to invest five million US dollars, and at the same time, some MVs will be uploaded for free in this video sharing website called YOUSHARE created by Zhang Yang in AVI format.
Of course, these are some old MVs that can't be sold. In the future, whether or not some new MVs are uploaded will be considered by Time Warner.
Time Warner is a media giant. With rich experience in media, they also see the potential of this company and are willing to invest in it, which will also facilitate the company's products in the future.
If this is really like Zhang Yang said, with tens of millions of users, or even hundreds of millions of users, then a popular video is equivalent to an advertisement in a golden program, without spending money.
Whether it is a singer promoting a new song, or a pre-promotion of a movie, this is a supplementary channel.
Time Warner agreed, and when Zhang Yang went to talk to other companies, it was a lot easier. Giants like Time Warner have agreed. If they don’t agree, this will really develop in the future, and they will miss many opportunities~EbookFREE.me~ Just like this, in just one week, Zhang Yang contacted ten music and film and television In terms of large companies, they also attracted their shareholding investment.
Those companies jointly invested 40 million US dollars, holding 40% of the shares. Zhang Yang is a major shareholder with a subscribed capital of US$60 million.
Next year, we must continue to make additional investments. At that time, everyone's shareholding ratio may change.
When this subscribed capital form and investment agreement were placed in front of Edson, Edson couldn't help but sigh that the president's network was too strong.
He still thought about how to attract some investors with strength and resources. Unexpectedly, the president took just a week to get it all done.
All he has to do is to bring legal affairs to sign a formal contract, which is very simple. Seen in this light, he is not too difficult to take charge of this company, and he can get an extra reward.
Just how to make this website bigger than the video websites owned by Microsoft and Google makes Edson a little worried.
