Zitat des Tages von Victor Koo:

If Youku had adopted YouTube's business model, we just would not be here. We would not exist.

The online video business started in both China and the US around 2005/6, when broadband penetration grew big enough.

With the rapid growth of Internet users in China bringing online video into a new paradigm, the market scale we first envisioned as an online video website back in 2006 has grown significantly.

If Youku had adopted YouTube's business model, we just would not be here. We would not exist.

On the monetization front, our strengthening leadership in internet user base and broadening reach of our platform have already positioned us as a must-buy platform in online video for brand advertisers to reach a nationwide audience within China.

Victor Koo

Broadening and deepening the relationship with our users and advertisers have always been our strategic priority.

While we can learn from U.S. models, we certainly can't practice them.

Our management team strongly believes that the key opportunity of our business does not only come from just the increase in terms of number of users but also how we continue to enhance the value of our platform for our users.

I do wish to emphasize that in light of the Alibaba deal, Youku Tudou management will remain independent, and we will continue to be open to opportunities for cooperation with other strategic partners going forward.

In China, going public has a cachet from a branding standpoint. It will improve our image to ad agencies, government regulators.

'YouKu' means what's best and what's cool in Chinese. So, the whole product philosophy really revolves around how to help users, from a massive video database, finds what's best and what's cool.

It's very hard to just have a pure form like a Hulu or a YouTube to be successful in China because our view is, users come to a platform; they really don't care whether it is professional or whether it's a user-generated, or it's premium, you see. They want to come to a big database to be able to find the content they want.

Victor Koo

The enhanced features of our ad products would require sufficient understanding from our sales force, advertisers, and agencies. To facilitate this, we have held multiple training sessions internally and road show events externally.

Victor Koo

With the scale of our traffic, content library and monetization ability, we are confident to see profitable growth in the future.

Victor Koo

Youku Tudou is a hybrid, like combining Netflix and YouTube. Like Netflix, with Youku, which launched in 2005, we syndicate a library of longform content and create original content. The Tudou model started with user-generated content but is increasingly becoming about partner-generated programming.

Victor Koo

On top of opportunities in further traffic growth, there are increasing opportunities to fully realize the potential of the online video ecosystem, as China continues to evolve into a consumer-driven economy.

Victor Koo

Back in 2005-2006 when Tudou and Youku were founded, we saw the inflection point with the opportunity to build the leading PC-based video website.

Victor Koo

Both YouKu and Tudou do original content for a number of years, and we position it based on our difference in terms of age demographic. And so the content itself is really more suitable for the brand itself.

If you do like what you do, you're cooperating and sharing.
