Chapter 285

Just as the outside world was in an uproar, Chen Mo had already started the first step of maintaining copyrights.

Currently, Momo Company only gave copyrights to Communications Video.

Any film or television drama produced by Momo Company can only be watched on Communications Video.

All other video websites that pirated Momo Company's film and television dramas were sent lawyer letters by Momo Company.

"With so many pirated video websites, can they even sue them all?"

"Exactly, isn't it better to make money together?"

"Ignore them, they're just bored; it must be a gimmick."

"Sitting back and waiting to see Momo Company make a fool of itself. Can they solve China's copyright problem just by themselves?"

"Mantises trying to stop a chariot; they don't know their own strength."

The video websites on the market didn't take it seriously.

China's current copyright awareness is too poor, and piracy is rampant.

Momo Company's lawyer letters are at most just to scare people.

If they really want to sue those video websites one by one, they definitely won't be able to handle it.

"Momo, are we really going to carry out copyright maintenance? Won't the workload be too large? It's not worth the loss."

Wang Jinghua frowned tightly.

Actually, it's not that there are no enterprises in China that want to do copyright maintenance; it's just that the maintenance cost is high and the workload is cumbersome, so many enterprises gave up after trying.

Plus, Momo Company has quite a few productions.

There are at least thousands of pirated video websites on the internet.

If Momo Company sues them one by one, it will be a huge drain on manpower and financial resources.

"Yes, copyright maintenance is a must."

Chen Mo nodded, his attitude firm.

On this point, Little Ma's vision is more long-term than Wang Jinghua's.

They are not maintaining copyrights for the immediate petty profits, but to monopolize the entire market and then enjoy the whole cake alone when the time comes.

At that time, the return rate brought to them by the copyright effect will be hundreds or thousands of times higher.

Seeing Chen Mo so firm, Wang Jinghua didn't try to persuade him anymore.

Following Chen Mo's instructions, Momo Company's copyright maintenance action began.

A few days later.

All video websites were stunned.

Momo Company is actually suing!

It started by suing major websites like PPS, Youku, and Tudou, making several video companies pay a large sum of copyright fees.

Then it was the turn of those small video websites.

As long as a video website had film and television dramas produced by Momo Company, they were all sued by Momo Company without discrimination.

Once the lawsuit was successful, the compensation started at one million.

Eighty percent of the video websites on the market were startled by Momo Company's big move and successively took down the videos on their websites.

At the same time, Communications Video launched quickly.

Netizens who want to watch film and television dramas produced by Momo Company can only watch them on Communications Video.

Communications Video had been online for less than a week, and its cumulative users had already exceeded 3 million, approaching the user volume of the three major video websites: PPS, Youku, and Tudou.

Now these video companies were truly dumbfounded.

Chen Mo is playing for real.

It seems that the domestic video websites are going to have a major reshuffle.

"Hahaha, Momo, you are truly talented!"

Little Ma sat in the office looking at the number of users, his eyes almost disappearing from smiling.

You have to know that it took the other few video websites at least more than a year to accumulate their users.

The Communications Group absorbed so many users just by using copyright means.

It has to be said that Chen Mo has the methods.

"Actually, it's not just film and television dramas..."

Chen Mo took a sip of water.

"That's right! There's also the music market!"

Before Chen Mo finished speaking, Little Ma immediately added a sentence.

"As long as we acquire music copyrights like we acquired Penguin Video, everyone who wants to listen to songs in the future will only be able to use Penguin Music. When the time comes, we'll make a VIP paid music package, and we'll make a fortune!"

When saying this, Little Ma's eyes were shining.

Pfft...

Chen Mo spat out a mouthful of water.

Little Ma's ability to draw inferences from one instance is truly amazing.

It's no wonder the Communications Group could become so big in his previous life.

Little Ma not only thinks fast, but his ability to act is also superb.

As soon as he thought of acquiring music copyrights, he immediately started acting.

It's just that the process of acquiring copyrights is very long.

The Communications Group needs to contact major music companies and also contact major film and television companies to discuss copyright issues with them.

The copyright fee for a single piece of music or film and television drama is not very expensive because China's copyright awareness is not very high right now, and copyright fees are sold very low.

But all the copyright fees added together are very expensive.

Chen Mo thought for a while and invested another 500 million in funds for the Communications Group to acquire copyrights.

In addition, he gave all the copyrights of the singers signed under his banner to Communications Music, including the albums he produced himself.

These copyrights alone already occupied a large part of the current pop music scene.

At the same time, because a large number of copyrights need to be acquired, the flow of the capital chain is also very important.

It just so happens that Chen Fu's Alibaba has accumulated quite a few users in the country since the Ant Forest project.

Chen Mo directly had Alibaba launch Taobao Wangwang.

Combining chatting and shopping.

Users can chat and bargain with sellers online in real-time.

He remembered that in his previous life, Alibaba also officially became popular after launching Taobao Wangwang.

This feature had never appeared in the country before, and it attracted the attention of many users as soon as it was launched.

"This is the first time I've seen a shopping platform where you can talk directly to the seller online."

"It's so convenient; it feels no different from buying things face-to-face."

"Whether it's buying or selling things, or returning or exchanging goods, it's much more convenient with Wangwang."

"I already hated going out; now that I can communicate online, Taobao is simply a godsend for people like me."

"Do you guys know you can also contact the seller to bargain... Damn, that's too high-energy."

Once Taobao Wangwang was launched, feedback about Taobao usage increased significantly.

As users increased, the merchant entry rate became even higher.

For an intermediary platform like Taobao, what it needs is user volume and merchant entry rate; even relying solely on the traffic of both, Taobao can quickly recover funds.

Sure enough, in less than a month.

Taobao was flooded with a large number of new users and sellers from all walks of life; everyone liked this convenient shopping platform.

Due to the reduction in shop opening costs, the prices of things on Taobao were also cheap.

With good quality and low prices, plus convenience and speed, Taobao users surged again.

Nearly 400 million in funds flowed in.

It became the largest shopping platform in the country in one fell swoop.

Here, as soon as Taobao recovered its funds, Chen Mo immediately handed them over to the Communications Group to be used for acquiring more copyrights and music.

Xiangjiang.

"Momo, I heard you are acquiring copyrights?"

Mei Yanfang had heard about Momo Company's copyright acquisition action even in Xiangjiang and called Chen Mo for the first time.
