Top of the big era

Things are different now than a few years ago. The domestic video website industry has already taken off. Copyright holders know that Internet companies have money and are unwilling to sell copyrights unless they offer a very high price.

Another more important point is that the authorities have issued policy guidance, and supervision of film and television works must be strengthened to combat piracy.

Why does Baidu want to start iQiyi?

The reason is that the trend has changed. The past piracy model is coming to an end. Regular video websites must move closer to genuine film and television content. Qiyi.com is the first video website in China to focus on high-definition genuine content.

This has led to a phenomenon where the price of streaming media copyrights for film and television content has been rising. Fortunately, Jieyu Media has been purchasing products in the past few years. It has more than 2,200 Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland movies in stock, and 26,000 episodes of TV series.

Of these copyrighted contents, 60% are streaming media copyrights, mainly from film and television companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan and state-owned units in mainland China. For state-owned entities, copyright assets are state-owned assets. Most people dare not sell them all, so they can only sell streaming media copyrights.

Today, Jieyu Media has become the largest copyright distributor in China.

As the country begins to implement legalization, video websites, large and small, begin to spend money everywhere to buy copyrights. If they can't afford it, they can only rent it.

Baidu has raised US$50 million for Qiyi.com, and will spend half of it...about 200 million yuan to purchase video copyrights. The goal is to buy 1,000 movies and 10,000 episodes of TV series, as well as some cartoons, documentaries, etc.

Nowadays, domestic copyright holders are smarter and no longer sell their properties. A contract is usually for 2-3 years, with short contracts of 1 year and longer contracts of up to 5 years.

However, the current film and television companies only have the copyrights for new films, and most of the old films have been bought by Jieyu Media.

How many new movies are there?

If Baidu wants to satisfy its own appetite, it must turn to Jieyu Media.

Zhou Buqi called Xu Baihui and asked her to deliberately manipulate Baidu.

Baidu is a big company and very rich, so an extra charge is a big deal!

This was not enough. Zhou Buqi felt that he should go back to China to explain the matter clearly. The value of copyright becomes more and more expensive, and these are big treasures.

However, the top priority is to have a good honeymoon and make the newlywed wife Shi Jinglin happy.

In the next few days, Zhou Buqi and Shi Jinglin went to Switzerland to inspect the team, to Poland to inspect the toy factory of Chaowan Commune, to Marseille to participate in the launch ceremony of the cloud data center, and to Finland to see The studio behind the Angry Birds game...

The work during the day is actually relatively easy, while the tasks at night are a little more arduous.

There was no way, Zhou Buqi couldn't back down.

Finally, on April 20th, Zhou Buqi finally helped all the 15 stunning maids in the family who were selected from beauty pageants from Central and North America to complete their life transformation.

Seeing Shi Jinglin's satisfied look, Zhou Buqi breathed a long sigh of relief. Although this stack of 15 rose-red white handkerchiefs gave a sense of accomplishment, it was also too hard, even harder than starting a business.

It's better to go back to China. It's better to go back to China.

These foreign women should be dealt with less often in the future.

However, the day before returning to China, Zhou Buqi saw Senior Sister Zhen Yu with a dejected look on her face in London.

"Boss Zhou, something happened!"

"What's wrong?"

"I have lost money on my investment, I have already lost 50%."

“Greek bonds?”

"Um."

Senior Sister Zhen Yu was very unhappy. She had managed huge amounts of money before, but this was her first time trading in the volatile financial market, and she was a little panicked.

Zhou Buqi was about to go to the airport. He sat down on the sofa in the living room and patted his thigh. "Senior sister, come sit here?"

This was the living room. Zhen Yu didn't have the nerve to be too intimate with him, so she sat next to him, let him put his arms around her waist, and sighed softly: "Greece's bonds have collapsed and there is no way to save it."

"How can it be possible? It won't happen, right?"

"Really, Greece...Greece has gone too far. I have never seen such a shameless country. It has no credibility at all."

"what happened?"

Zhou Buqi didn't pay much attention to the changes in the European debt market and didn't know anything about it.

Zhen Yu said: "It's fake. Greece has faked it again. I don't know how many times it has happened. In the beginning, in order to enter the Eurozone, Greece falsified its data. The Eurozone requires that the fiscal deficit cannot exceed 3%. Last year, the fiscal deficit given by Greece was 6.7%, but the European Union felt that this data was inaccurate, so it asked someone to recalculate based on various indicators of Greece. The actual fiscal deficit was 12.7%, and then Greece’s sovereign debt plummeted.”

"Um."

Zhou Buqi nodded to express his understanding.

The modern financial market is mainly the credit market. Where there is credibility, there is value. Without credit, it’s just garbage. Greece continued to falsify financial data and its credit collapsed. With all credit gone, who would dare to hold Greek government bonds for a long time? What if Greece breaks its promise and refuses to redeem its bonds when they mature?

Zhen Yu sighed softly, "Didn't the EU tell the International Monetary Fund some time ago that it wanted to negotiate and provide help to Greece? The price of bonds rose, so I took the opportunity to buy 200 million US dollars. Unexpectedly, this Something happened again.”

"Is it data fraud again?"

"Yes, this time a third-party agency went to Greece to conduct an audit. The 12.7% data calculated by the EU is based on data provided by relevant Greek departments. But who can guarantee that the data provided by these departments in Greece is true? Chapter 1 The third-party agency went for an audit, and the result was a deficit of 15.4%.”

"I go!"

Zhou Buqi is also helpless. Greece is really hopeless. Even developed countries have been slapped in the face time and time again.

Zhen Yu said: "When we audited the accounts last year, we found out that Greece had relied on Goldman Sachs' financial fraud to cheat the country and join the Eurozone. The Greek authorities promised with tears in their eyes that they would never do it again. The result is great, the EU The fiscal deficit was found to be 12.7%, which was false again. Greece came out to express its position again, saying that this was the last time and would never happen again. This time it came again. The third-party audit result was 15.4%. The credibility of the Greek government It’s been completely lost.”

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "It's so disappointing!"

It's like there is a beggar begging. You are just poor, but your character is not good, and you still cheat every day. Who is willing to help you?

This time there is simply no bottom line.

However, there is some shadow of capital game behind this.

The EU definitely does not want Greece to collapse and will try to rescue Greece as much as possible. But the hungry wolves of capital don’t care about the life and death of Greece and even Europe. They just want to make things big and make a fortune.

Greek bonds have just risen, and there are some good signs. Immediately, the third-party audit results were released, which can be called a nuclear bomb in the financial market.

Wall Street's capital tycoons are not just attacking the Greek bond market.

As long as Greece's credibility goes bankrupt, Greece's bond market, stock market, real estate market, futures market and other financial derivatives markets will be collectively destroyed, and the short-selling army will be able to grab wealth crazily.

Zhen Yu said sadly: "Greece is finished. Many major investment banks have lowered Greece's long-term sovereign bonds to junk status. They have become junk. The bonds we bought cannot be sold even if we place orders. The price Plunging all the way down.”

"Place an order?" Zhou Buqi was startled, "Don't! Don't sell!"

"Ah?" Senior Sister Zhen Yu was surprised, "Do you still have confidence in Greece?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I don't have confidence in Greece, I have confidence in the European Union, I have confidence in the female prime minister of Germany. Others are panicking, so you have to buy even more."

Zhen Yu looked at him blankly, "Boss Zhou, are you serious?"

Zhou Buqi leaned over and whispered, "Baby, listen to me."

Zhen Yu's face turned red and she rolled her eyes at him, "But the risk is too great now."

Zhou Buqi said confidently: "The EU is so left-wing now, they will not be used to international capital."

Zhen Yu said softly: "But the situation is really wrong now. Some time ago, there were still many buyers of Greek bonds, and many German banks also entered the market to buy heavily. Everything in the market is improving. But the new audit results have come out , no one is willing to buy, they are all empty orders. Even German banks are not willing to buy. The German Prime Minister is very powerful, but she can't force the banks to do transactions."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "We are buying it when others are not buying it. Doesn't this further demonstrate the important role of our unity with the EU? Have you opened up the relationship with the EU?"

"No, I only know a deputy president of the European Central Bank. Our funds are too small, and they are nothing compared to the tens of billions of euros of international capital."

"Then let's speak out publicly and say that we believe in the EU and Greece, and we will buy up Greek national debt in large quantities."

"Really?"

"Well, it's a free opportunity to make money."

Zhou Buqi is in a bit of a dilemma. Now that Greek bonds have become junk, the prices are no longer low. Maybe 1 euro to 5 euro cents? 4 euro cents? If you enter the market and buy at this time, after expiration, the return will be more than 20 times.

Making too much money is also hot.

But there are solutions.

The way to thank someone is not to give him something for free, but to break his legs and then give him a pair of crutches; to confiscate his food first, and then throw a few pieces to him from time to time. bones; first castrate him, and then give him a life of worry-free food and clothing.

When Greece begins to reduce welfare expenditures, lower wage standards, increase taxes, and raise prices in order to pay off debts, and the people are miserable, just come in and donate, and you will receive countless tears of gratitude.

Even entertainment stars know that they can clear their name by donating money and doing charity, let alone capitalists? Whether Zhou Buqi has any ties to these European and American foreigners in terms of blood, race, morals, ethics, etc., everything is a relationship of interest, and he doesn't mind using the most realistic human means to deal with it.

Zhou Buqi said: "Making money is one thing. The most important thing is to have good relations with the European Union. We entered the market according to their requirements and bought heavily, so that they owe us favors. We have made both money and favors. This That’s the best result.”
