China's top video streaming website Youku and its biggest former rival Tudou have officially merged on Monday. Youku & Tudou Group was born after today's shareholder meeting in Hong Kong, giving the green light for a merger which had already been announced in March.
中國(guó)最大的視頻交流網(wǎng)站優(yōu)酷網(wǎng)與其最大的前競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手土豆網(wǎng)已于周一正式合并。優(yōu)酷土豆集團(tuán)于今日在香港舉行的股東大會(huì)之后成立,這也是對(duì)早在三月就已公布的合并消息的通過。
For more on this issue we're joined on the phone by Professor Wu Changqi from the Guanghua Management School of Peking University. Thank you for speaking to us.
今天在演播室,我們將連線來自北京大學(xué)光華管理學(xué)院的吳長(zhǎng)奇教授與我們一起分享更多關(guān)于此次合并的情況。
Youku Tudou's CEO says they won't monopolize the market in China. But his company now has 35 percent of the market share, which is likely to give competitors cause for worry. Are these worries justified?
優(yōu)酷土豆集團(tuán)CEO說他們不會(huì)對(duì)中國(guó)市場(chǎng)進(jìn)行壟斷。但是,現(xiàn)在集團(tuán)的市場(chǎng)份額已占35%,這一數(shù)字很可能就是其他競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者擔(dān)憂的原因。您認(rèn)為這些憂慮有必要嗎?
How will the merger change the face of the industry? Should other online video companies follow their example?
將來,這場(chǎng)強(qiáng)強(qiáng)聯(lián)手的合并會(huì)對(duì)整個(gè)行業(yè)產(chǎn)生怎樣的影響?其他的在線視頻公司是否也應(yīng)該效仿呢?
