Chapter 444 I feel like I'm being towed! How can I be so lucky?
When Han Shangyou heard this news, it almost confirmed his previous guess.
Since Vision offered Chen Jincheng these terms, it means the other party must be coming with great force.
Now that Tencent's subsidiaries have all set up short video departments, it means they're going to crack down on Douyin.
He hurriedly dialed the big boss's number.
The terms that Vision offered to Chen Jincheng needed to be discussed with the big boss first.
Chen Jincheng's physical condition improved, and his hearing became very sharp. He heard Han Shangyou's assistant's report and understood the situation.
In another world, various factions within the Tencent ecosystem jointly launched over a dozen short video apps, including Happy and Yoo, in a massive crackdown on Douyin (TikTok) alongside Vivo.
It seems that the world is like that too.
Judging from Mr. Han's expression, he was clearly intimidated by this display of power.
But only he knew what kind of people Vis and these apps were. Entering the new short video industry, they didn't know how to humble themselves or start from scratch. As a result, they ganged up on Douyin, which was facing problems and was almost killed by Kuaishou at its lowest point. They even beat Douyin like shrimp soldiers.
By 2024, this crackdown was still a joke.
Ultimately, all they can do is accept the problematic streamers who have been banned by Douyin and Kuaishou, and entertain themselves there.
For example, those PK streamers who were banned by Douyin were all taken over by Weishi, but naturally, none of them made a splash on Weishi.
Of course, these are things that Han Shangyou and Dou Yin cannot know. To them, Tencent's power is absolutely terrifying and cannot be underestimated.
This is an information gap.
“Okay, Mr. Zhang, I understand…” Han Shangyou hung up the phone with the big boss and immediately said to Chen Jincheng, “Mr. Chen, I have already spoken with the big boss. Douyin agrees to your conditions, and we can sign the contract now. However, we hope that you can release a video immediately to clarify that you will still stay with Douyin, and that you can do a live broadcast tonight. We will also do our best to provide you with resources and help you break the live broadcast record.”
Hearing this, Chen Jincheng couldn't help but smile: "President Han, since Douyin is so sincere, I can't be ungrateful. Let's sign the contract first, as President Han said, and then make further arrangements?"
As he spoke, he took out his phone and dialed Sister Hong's number: "Sister Hong, have the company's legal team come over. We need to sign a contract with Douyin."
Upon hearing this, Sister Hong almost instinctively asked, "Boss, did Douyin agree to that condition?"
"Yes, have someone come and prepare the contract!" Chen Jincheng replied definitively.
After hanging up the phone, Sister Hong really couldn't believe it. When her boss told her about these conditions before, she almost thought it was impossible.
After all, Douyin isn't stupid.
For five years, 10% of the resource traffic will be allocated to the Second Starry Sky for autonomous use. Although Douyin can still use this 10% of resources to push traffic to other users, giving the right to use it to the Second Starry Sky is equivalent to ceding land in ancient times.
In other words, the Second Star has established a colony in Douyin.
With this 10% of traffic, Ershixingchen can push any influencer they want to promote. Just this alone makes it incredibly easy for them to make an influencer famous.
He immediately thought of the traditional Chinese style team he had assembled, including Gao Qian, Ya Qian, Liu Xin, and Pan Min, and he wanted to make them famous overnight.
However, the boss's "Cheng Girls" also need to have a portion of their live stream promotion reserved for them.
She had already started making plans before the contract was even signed.
Honestly, he felt that Douyin had really shot themselves in the foot this time. If they hadn't been targeting the boss, the boss wouldn't have been able to easily put them in such a predicament. Now they've lost both their wife and their army.
Most importantly, of the two reports, only one has been exposed so far.
Another report is that people in Beijing have already started placing orders through those influencer's product-selling videos. Once these orders are delivered to Beijing and the test results are completed, an even bigger bombshell will be detonated.
What will happen to Douyin then?
Moreover, the boss didn't explain the purpose of this second bomb, which made her very curious.
Thinking about it, Sister Hong immediately called the company's legal team, and they went to Chen Jincheng's office together.
After that, Han Shangyou started a live video broadcast, and Douyin naturally had its legal team involved in contract drafting.
This kind of contract is definitely a very large business cooperation contract.
Even the legal teams that drafted the contracts on both sides looked incredulous.
This is an absolutely humiliating treaty for Douyin.
Neither of the legal teams expected Douyin to agree to such cooperation terms. However, both sides upheld their legal expertise and carefully crafted a contract.
Anticipating that the two sides would be discussing business and signing a contract, Han Shangyou brought Douyin's official seal with him, and the contract was signed very quickly.
In addition, the two parties also signed a supplementary influencer contract.
In one afternoon, the relationship between the Second Star and Douyin entered a new era, and it will remain unchanged for five years.
This contract will also make Ershixingchen the undisputed behemoth guild in Douyin within 5 years, unmatched by any other MCN.
Because of this 10% resource traffic, Second Star will need to conduct permission authentication and authorization with Douyin.
After receiving the contract, Sister Hong subconsciously exchanged a glance with her boss.
Mr. Han and Douyin were too hasty and were outmaneuvered by the boss again.
The contract was signed by representatives of Second Starry Sky, and the boss's contract with Second Starry Sky was for one year, with only a few months left. As for why it was only for one year, it seems the boss initially intended to handle special circumstances; besides, as the boss, the contract was naturally irrelevant to him.
However, there is a huge loophole in this contract.
I understand everything I understand.
When it comes time to exploit this loophole, Douyin will likely receive another huge surprise.
Only after the contract was signed did Han Shangyou finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, he didn't completely relax. He immediately said to Chen Jincheng, "Mr. Chen, now that our contract has been signed, please release a public announcement video to let everyone know that you will still be with our Douyin."
Chen Jincheng smiled at his eager look: "President Han, don't worry, I'll record a video right away. After all, as a Douyin influencer, I also hope that the Douyin platform will do well."
At times like these, it's natural to say the nicest things.
However, it's clear that the news of Tencent's various companies joining forces to enter the short video industry has put immense pressure on Douyin, which is currently facing a crisis.
After he finished speaking, he took out his phone and started recording on Douyin: "Hello everyone, I am Chen Jincheng. There have been a lot of rumors circulating online these past two days. Everyone is saying that I have been in contact with Weishi and that I am going to join Weishi. These are all rumors. I love Douyin. Douyin is my home. I can't leave Douyin."
At this time, it's natural to say whatever sounds nice.
After all, saying a few nice words won't hurt you at all.
Hearing this, Han Shangyou felt his cheeks twitch. What he said sounded nice, but why couldn't he feel that the other person really loved Douyin? Did he love the contract?
Chan Kam-ching continued, "I went to Shenzhen, not for Vision, but for a new drama. As everyone knows, there's a lot of negativity about me online right now, with all sorts of opinions about me. I haven't made any public appearances lately, so I'll do a live stream tonight to talk to everyone about this."
After recording, Chen Jincheng immediately clicked upload, with the title: "Clarifying the Incident"
After finishing, Chen Jincheng smiled and looked at Han Shangyou: "President Han, now that the video has been recorded and clarified, I will also do a live broadcast tonight."
Han Shangyou felt he should be happy about this result, since Chen Jincheng had already released a video to clarify things according to their request, and was also going to do a live broadcast that night.
But for some reason, they just couldn't be happy. They had a strange feeling that they were being led by the nose by Chen Jincheng, as if he had planned to do a live stream that night.
This is clearly a live stream to promote their own Second Star Film and Television Network. I'm afraid they might announce a new drama to be released tonight.
"Sigh!" Han Shangyou sighed silently, then took out his phone and made a call back, arranging for people to push Chen Jincheng's video to the top of their power.
With the current online buzz surrounding Douyin, Chen Jincheng, and Weishi, Chen Jincheng is at the very center of the storm. His video, once released and boosted by Douyin, quickly went viral, spreading at an incredible speed.
Many people were stunned by Chan Kam-ching's sudden clarification, especially those who had confidently analyzed the impact of Chan Kam-ching joining Vision.
Of course, Chen Yixiao was the most confused.
After contacting Sister Hong from Second Star, he deduced that Chen Jincheng had indeed been in contact with Vision, and was very likely going to Vision.
He accepted the result. With Chen Jincheng's current influence, as long as the other party is not in Douyin, even if they don't go to their Kuaishou, they can go to Weishi. That will at least not hinder them from dealing with Douyin.
In his eyes, Douyin was a much greater threat than Weishi.
Who knew that in the blink of an eye, Chan Kam-ching clarified that he had not been in contact with Vivi and that he would be live streaming on Douyin that night.
He knew Chen Jincheng's live stream data. Although many people suspected that Chen Jincheng was also cheating, the fact that he dared to come out and stream now showed his confidence. At this time, the government was still monitoring Douyin for rectification, and everyone knew that Chen Jincheng's live stream could not be cheated.
If Chen Jincheng still maintains that terrifying number of online viewers, it would instantly reverse the negative image of Douyin, proving the upper limit of Douyin live streaming and its high value.
So all their waiting for daylight was for nothing?
Chen Yixiao suddenly felt like cursing.
This is fucking ridiculous!
But he was soon dumbfounded. It seemed that Sister Hong had told him the truth: the other party had not contacted Vision. At the time, he didn't believe it.
This……
Fuck.
Who knew she was telling the truth?
Just as Chen Yixiao had expected, with Chen Jincheng's clarification, the negative comments about Dou Yin on the internet cooled down considerably, and more people started discussing Chen Jincheng's live broadcast that evening.
The number of viewers for this live stream was significant for Douyin, and it was also an opportunity for Douyin to reverse the impact of the hanging iron incident.
Naturally, Liu Dong of Aiqiyi and Huang Zhen of Tencent Penguin Pictures also learned of this news very quickly.
Huang Zhen was signing preparation documents for a TV series when his assistant rushed in to report: "Mr. Huang, Chen Jincheng sent a video saying he'll be doing a live stream tonight to talk about the new series. It seems like he's targeting us."
The assistant handed a video to Huang Zhen. After watching the video, Huang Zhen couldn't help but sneer: "Judging from the situation, they're coming for us, or they want to clarify that 'Return the World to You' wasn't a drama that Chen Jincheng bought, in order to salvage their reputation."
"Of course, it's also possible that he bought a new drama and wants to use the online buzz to promote it in an attempt to reverse the current situation."
"Unfortunately, our 'The Wrath of Xiangxi' has already reached 1.1 million views per episode, with an average of 8500 million views per episode. No matter what drama he comes up with, it won't make a difference. He can't possibly find another drama outside that can become the king of dramas, can he?"
