"How's the copyright issue for The Three-Body Problem going?"

"Don't mention it. He's still in the hands of those two idiots. They're like a dog and won't let go even if they bite him to death!"

After hearing Yang Xiao's question, Bai Zhongchun felt speechless and actually started cursing.

"Why don't you let go? Alas, such a good world-class science fiction IP has been delayed for such a long time."

When Yang Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

He was reborn a little late, and the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem" was bought by someone for 2009 yuan in 10. This is something he regrets.

The most exaggerated thing is that Yang Xiao has not found an opportunity to acquire the copyright of the world's top science fiction film "The Three-Body Problem" until now!

At this moment, the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem" is not in the hands of the boss of Youzu who was poisoned to death.

But it was in the hands of a woman named Song Chunyu.

This woman has a husband named Zhang Fanfan, who is a director.

And the biggest reason why Yang Xiao did not get the copyright is this!

This stupid couple, relying on the copyright obtained from Liu Cixin, directly raised the price to major film and television companies, and even asked for an exorbitant price!
However, simply purchasing copyright cooperation is not enough.

It also made clear regulations for the cooperating capital parties, requiring them to commit in black and white in the contract - "a production cost of at least 200 million yuan"!
A large number of people were directly discouraged here!
In addition, the most hateful thing is that they all have a hard condition

——We must agree to let this big idiot be the director of "The Three-Body Problem"!

How does this work?
Today's capitalists are rich, but they are not sick.

You know, this idiot has no ability to be the director of "The Three-Body Problem".

Zhang Fanfan’s resume is also very simple, he has only made three horror films in total.

On Douban, the film has a score of 4 to 5 points and a box office of to million.

Then the media invited by their producers wrote an article, calling it the most cost-effective film in the Chinese film industry in 2010.

Well, for a low-cost film like this that only cost one or two million, it was indeed a profit.

There seems to be nothing wrong in saying that it has the “best value for money”.

However, netizens are not happy.

You can have fun and joke around, but don’t joke about “The Three-Body Problem”!

Is this the kind of IP that a rubbish director like you can take advantage of?
When they heard that the couple was going to be directors, book fans were so scared that they changed the line in the original "The Three-Body Problem" "Don't answer" to "Don't shoot" in the comment section, and started a crazy boycott on Weibo.

Even if Yang Xiao knew that this top IP, which was urged to be updated by "Obama", could still make ten or a hundred times the profit as long as it was acquired.

But he would never be such a sucker!

If Yang Xiao really bought it, he didn't know how netizens would ridicule him.

At worst, I can just buy it from Youzu later. How can I help such an idiot?
Well, maybe this can save the life of Lin Qi, the boss of Youzu.

After all, this murder was actually caused by a copyright dispute over "The Three-Body Problem".
Far away.

All we can say is that the copyright IP of "The Three-Body Problem" cannot be obtained for the time being. Yang Xiao is not greedy and has already stockpiled enough big IPs.

Bai Zhongchun has just arrived here not long ago, and Yang Xiao just came by to check on him.

After chatting with him for a while, he left, letting the latter continue working.

On the way back, Yang Xiao sat in the car and let the driver drive. He was browsing his phone out of boredom and opened an app called Zhihu Q&A on the screen.

Yes, two months ago, he acquired Zhihu for US$1800 million.

It was directly merged with his [Questions and Answers].

There is no way. We can only say that after a year, the market of Zhihu has been almost eaten up, and half of the big Vs have been poached by Yang Xiao.

Now that it has come to this, it is the most normal outcome.

If anyone is to blame, it’s only because Zhihu’s strategy is too poor.

Restricting registration for ordinary users from the very beginning, isn't that courting death?
Even though Yang Xiao's [Questions and Answers] have come out, he still thinks highly of himself, thinking that Yang Xiao is made of clay?

Yang Xiao had already started early, so how could that give them unlimited opportunities for trial and error?
But after Yang Xiao acquired the company, he did not kill them all.

To this end, he flew to Yanjing and met with the founder Zhou Yuan, asking him to stay and serve as CEO, and even changed the name of the product.

A 5% stake was left to him and his team.

Nowadays, there are a lot of people on Zhihu Q&A, whether they are professional big Vs or netizens who love to play!
It directly brings out the professionalism and fun-loving attributes to the maximum.

It is already a large community that is almost comparable to Douban.

It is only a matter of time before it surpasses Douban and becomes on par with Tieba.

After Yang Xiao clicked on it, he clicked on the notification bar of 99+, which showed countless topics that netizens invited him to answer.

Out of boredom, he clicked on the latest question: [How to express "I am sad" in an artistic way? ]

【@Xiaobai: Hayao Miyazaki once said: "It's raining in the city where you live, and I really want to ask you if you have an umbrella. But I hold back because I'm afraid you'll say you didn't bring one, and I can't do anything about it. It's like I love you, but I can't give you the companionship you want."】

【@桃子吃梨子: It’s raining in the city where you live. I really want to ask if you brought an umbrella. If not, I hope it will hail. 】

【.】

Seeing that netizens were constantly making memes, Yang Xiao joined in since he was bored.

[@杨潇: My daughter is in so much pain. ] [@九九归一: Damn! Catch a wild Mr. Yang alive! ]

【@河上龟龟: Is this the real one? 】

【@蛋炒饭仔: Hahahaha, the boss is here to make fun of memes! 】

【@XX: I forgot that the boss also played Shamatte. 】

【@小A: Can you tell me more about it? How did you play? Where did you play? On the bed or on the balcony?】

【@明明就: Isn’t the guy above too pornographic and violent? 】

【.】

[@Xiao Nan: Mr. Yang, I would like to ask you a question. Will you hold the million-dollar quiz contest this year? ]

Yang Xiao’s appearance instantly aroused heated discussions among netizens.

He ignored some of the netizens who were just joking, but he did respond to the last serious question.

[@杨潇: Yes, it will be held every year in the future. Just wait for the official announcement. We will notify you separately when it is discontinued. ]

[@狂刀仔: Mr. Yang is prohibited from participating in the competition! ]

[@The Truman Show: Yes, the referee is not allowed to leave the court! ]

【@XX：+1】

【@XX：+1】

Uh. Last year, Yang Xiao took home more than 100,000 yuan from the 100 most-praised answers on the site.

The main reason is that netizens also want to have fun. As long as Yang Xiao gives an answer, even if it is a casual answer, there will be a lot of people coming to support him.

The number of likes directly jumped into the top 100.

The answer to "How to become a very powerful person" ranked first with a million likes.

It surpassed the second answer by more than 800,000 likes, leaving it far behind.

Although he finally used the more than 100,000 yuan to hold a separate lottery and gave it back to netizens, he also knew that netizens were just making fun of him.

【@杨潇: OJBK! Then I won’t participate. 】

【@XX: Will the lucky draw continue? 】

【@XX：+1】

【@XX: The guys upstairs are eating and taking! But I agree! 】

"Boss Yang, we're at the hotel. Boss Liu and his team have already arrived early."

The car arrived at a hotel. The valet doorman helped open the door with great attentiveness, and Yang Xiao walked down.

The driver Song Hong threw the key to the former and followed Yang Xiao inside. He stood guard outside the private room while Yang Xiao walked in alone with a smile on his face.

"Boss Yang, you're here."

"Haha, how long has Lao Liu been here?"

Those sitting in front of Yang Xiao were Liu Yong from Yinhan Technology and several other shareholders in his team. Having met them for so long, they were already familiar faces to Yang Xiao and were not strangers to each other.

"It won't be long. After today, we can all be considered to be working for Mr. Yang."

Liu Yong joked: "Alas, I suddenly went from being a partner to an employee, and I'm still a little uncomfortable with it."

"Nonsense, I left you 1% of the shares, and you are still a partner shareholder."

Yang Xiao rolled his eyes, "Besides, Lao Liu, we have been good brothers for a long time."

"Go to hell, you're taking advantage of me again~"

Liu Yong laughed, "What good brother or bad brother? You just gave me such a generous offer that I couldn't refuse."

Hearing this, Yang Xiao smiled but didn't say much.

[Yinhan Technology] Yang Xiao previously held a 35.7% stake in this gaming company.

Liu Yong holds 34.3%, followed by Tencent with 30%.

This was the price paid to obtain Tencent channels at the time.

Over the past year or so, Liu Yong's "Time and Space Hunter" gave him a ride, but Yang Xiao was also very kind to him. His two previous parkour and tower defense mobile games were also very successful, allowing [Yinhan Technology] to take off smoothly.

But next, Yang Xiao plans to start the project of producing "Honor of Kings".

Now it's time for Liu Yong to get off.

The most important thing is that this time Yang Xiao acquired the shares in his hands in order to once again realize his personal full control over [Yinhan Technology]!
Of course, Yang Xiao also showed his sincerity.

20 billion in cash acquisition and 10% equity of [Qingsong Technology Internet].

Two conditions were placed in front of Liu Yong, and he was allowed to choose one of them!
In the end, Liu Yong chose to take 10 billion in cash, plus 5% of the shares of [Qingsong Technology Internet], and retained 1% of the shares of [Yinhan Technology].

He got the best of everything and was satisfied.
