Li Yanhong frowned and thoughtful, and after a while, he said, "Thank you for your opinion. I will seriously consider this aspect, but no matter what, I will have to wait for a year for the next Spring Festival. Let's set a cooperation plan between Baifubao and Today's Preferred!"

Zhou Yujie smiled and said, "As long as Baifubao is willing to subsidize, my Toutiao will not participate in the subsidy. As for the entrance above Quxin, there will be no subsidy."

"Okay." Li Yanhong nodded slowly. The biggest function of Quxin to the entrance to Today's Preferred Traffic is to divert today's preferred traffic. Even if there is no subsidy, it will have a certain impact on Baifubao.

But Li Yanhong is still uncertain about the impact, and Baifubao is currently inseparable from today's priority, so he can only default to the same.

After a while, after Zhou Yujie and others left, Li Yanhong glanced at Chen Zi'ang and Xiang Hailong next to him and said, "On the Manzuo.com, we will immediately start preparing to set up a takeaway project. As long as the preparation is almost done, we will launch it immediately. The name is Baidu Takeaway."

Xiang Hailong asked: "So, we are going to break the cooperation with Today's Youxuan?"

"This is a matter of time sooner or later, but I originally thought that in the past two years, Toutiao has developed in the payment field, so we focused on borrowing Today's Preferred to develop users. But now Quxin Payment has reached this scale with red envelopes. If I spend money to help Today's Preferred, wouldn't it be a fool?" Li Yanhong shook his head and said.

Chen Zi'ang said: "Mr. Li, with the current situation of Manzuo.com, if you want to open up a takeaway platform in major cities across the country, it is definitely impossible for outsiders to hide it. The relationship with us may be known by Zhou Yujie."

Baidu's acquisition of Manzuo.com cost a considerable price. Through overseas funds acquisition, it is unclear if outsiders do not pay attention and investigate.

With insufficient funds, Manzuo.com will not attract too much attention when it slowly develops takeaway. After all, there are many similar companies now.

But if you make every effort to make your arrangements in first- and second-tier cities, you will definitely not be able to hide it. There will always be some clues in such a large acquisition.

Li Yanhong said: "It doesn't matter. Zhou Yujie can't stop his cooperation with us in advance. If he really breaks it, it will not be of any benefit to today's selection."

Nowadays, both parties are heavily dependent on each other, but they know that the cooperation will not last long. Baidu intends to find its own monetization channels, while Toutiao needs to find other sources of subsidy funds.

...

After leaving Baidu Building, Zhou Yujie and others got on the business car arranged by Toutiao Yanjing Branch.

Zhou Yujie said: "Old Zhu, be ready. Li Yanhong will probably stop working with us soon?"

Zhu Wenbin is also a smart person and said, "Is Li Yanhong going to prepare for his own takeaway?"

Zhou Yujie nodded and said, "Quxin Payment needs to be launched, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Yanhong will certainly have second-hand preparations. If I were him, I would definitely do this."

Zhu Wenbin thought for a while and said, "There are still some group buying websites or small-area takeaway platforms on the market. I just don't know which one Baidu chose?"

Zhou Yujie smiled and said, "Don't take it too seriously now. Just focus on the capital market. If a company expands rapidly in the next few months and is inconsistent with each other, it should be Baidu's investment target."

Zhu Wenbin said with some concern: "If Baidu stops cooperation, how should we face the problem of subsidies next?"

Although Today Youxuan will also raise funds, this money is very useful. Subsidies will definitely not compare to the three Bat giants.

Zhou Yujie thought for a while and said, "Wait, I will prepare for the next step."

...

After coming to the headquarters of Didi Company, Zhang Bo reported on the development of Didi in recent times.

After receiving the last $3 million, DiDi began to quickly start online ride-hailing business in first- and second-tier cities such as Shangshanghai, Hankou, Shenhai, and Yuezhou. As Zhou Yujie expected, it was difficult to develop these markets in the early stage.

Some of Yanjing's development strategies can be copied directly, but some cannot, and some must be developed in combination with actual conditions.

However, although it is difficult, it finally opened up the primary market in these regions and formed a certain first-mover advantage.

Zhou Yujie didn't know much about the online car-hailing business, and he could only rely on Zhang Bo's team to explore it slowly.

Another 10 million US dollars was left behind. The amount of this fund was not small, but it was still not used to burn money, but to continue to open other second-tier cities. Without the opponent's money, Zhou Yujie would not foolishly end up, because after the scale was larger, it would inevitably attract the attention of Teng Xun Ali, and in the end it would only be worth the loss.

...

During the Spring Festival, in addition to red envelopes becoming a new point of interest, in the film field, "The Shameful Iron Fist" was released again, adopting the same routine as "Charlotte's Troubles", using the information flow of today's headlines as promotion. At the same time, Nuomi.com began to subsidize on a larger scale. In addition, the starring actors and others were already more famous at this time. "The Shameful Iron Fist" once again achieved success in the box office, with a box office of 1.7 billion yuan, surpassing "Journey to the West" and becoming the top of the box office list for the Spring Festival.

The difference from Zhou Yujie's plan is that the filming of "I Am Not a God of Medicine" did not meet the Spring Festival period. Although the movie was only filmed for three months in later generations, it was obvious that the preliminary preparations were longer.

However, Zhou Yujie didn't care. It was impossible for him to shoot the movie as expected, and the route of taking the summer vacation was actually the same.

The high box office revenue once again changed Toutiao Video's operating strategy. With huge cash flow, various investments have become easier.

In order to lay out variety shows, Toutiao Video spent 200 million yuan to buy a piece of land in the suburbs of Hefei City, Anhui Province, and prepared to build a large number of shooting scenes. The reason why Hefei City was chosen was because there were a large number of mountains near Anhui Province, which could be suitable for shooting various variety show plots.

The TV drama department, which was acquired, also entered a new stage of filming. On the one hand, it trained new actors again, and on the other hand, it worked with other domestic stars and teams. At the same time, it filmed 3 TV dramas at the same time, including 2 martial arts and one costumed filming. The screenwriter team of the content was also the team that once was "Water Moon Cave" and "Peacock Feather".

In the future, Toutiao Video will carry out its own development path, with sufficient funds and sufficient traffic, and has basically gained a foothold in the future video field.

Zhou Yujie is preparing to give his last help to Toutiao videos next.
