Architecture change Deng Ye or overhead

There is news this morning, Sohu video is undergoing major restructuring, the company's CEO Charles Zhang will personally assume the CEO of Sohu Video, Sohu Editor-in-Chief Chun will be responsible for Sohu video content, Sohu Co President Wang is responsible for products. Sohu Video CEO Deng Ye is not mentioned. There are also reports that Chun may be the CEO of Sohu Video.

In this respect, Phoenix Technology calls Sohu Group, Sohu Video, both sides said that this has not yet been informed, need to wait for company notice notice, and the parties Deng Ye, Chun phone are not answered.

It is worth mentioning that a number of insiders said the message was first Chun friends-Sina Executive vice president, editor-in-chief Chen released. If the appeal information is true, then Deng Ye or has been elevated, only a virtual right.

It is understood that Deng Ye is Sohu's oldest and youngest female executive, was appointed by Sohu in June 2011 as the CEO of video and entertainment business, report to Charles Zhang. Analysts say Deng Ye led Sohu Video In the past few years to do the most outstanding is the introduction of the United States, but in addition to copyright, the main embodiment of the difference in the brand column, Deng was not very satisfactory, but even worse to spend a lot of money, but the results are very little.

Zhang has publicly stated that Sohu video is an important media, is an image of the media, the core of Sohu group is also a media. Sohu Video and Sohu group relationship, than Sogou and Sohu game more near a layer. Sohu Video This competition is Sohu Company's war.

And in May comeback in the media interview, Charles Zhang has hinted that the video business will be adjusted, will change, the structure of the adjustment is the Sohu video under the "First knife."

Chun Deng Ye has been exposed to deep grudges

Sohu Video last round of executive appointments was in 2011 years. At that time, Sohu appointed Sohu Entertainment vice President Deng Ye for video and entertainment business CEO, continued to Sohu board chairman and CEO Charles Zhang report. Sohu Editor-in-Chief Chun as video and entertainment business COO, responsible for video and entertainment business content, radio and television cooperation, government affairs and other work, Chun report to Deng Ye.

But according to insiders, Chun Airborne really want to make changes to Sohu video, but helpless in the interior without actual decision-making power, cannot "groundbreaking", finally choose to hang a title, in charge of Sohu portal business.

It is reported that Charles Zhang's performance of Deng Ye satisfaction is mixed, and Chun has not been entrusted with the task, the temperament of both sides is also very speculative, the "entertainment empire" vision is very consistent, and Chun in the industry and entertainment circle of the network is Deng Ye less than. Therefore, it is decided to give Chun responsibility again.

In addition to Chun, Sohu video executives among the most obvious contradictions and CTO Li Gangjiang, because of the reality show in the field of the column and Deng Ye differences, Li Gangjiang from the middle of April has not been to work, also not responsible for any work. The loss of Sohu executives is more serious, starting from last June, Sohu video from sales, finance to the market, mobile business, and continued to continue to walk 10 senior executives.

Infighting, the loss of senior executives brought a serious internal friction, Sohu video performance also greatly discounted.

Charles Zhang or a transitional figure

For Sohu Video architecture adjustment, if Zhang is true as the report said to assume the post of CEO, then he is also a transitional figure.

Zhang's attention to video business is self-evident, he once said, "The future video will be the main platform for Chinese image transmission, which is my judgment." As a media and entertainment group, video is the core of the strategy, will certainly strive to develop Sohu video, but also through the strength of the entire Sohu group. ”

But the control of the overall situation will not be all Pro-Pro for the Charles Zhang, the most need to do is to sit a good structure to adjust the transition position, to ensure that the Sohu video does not disperse, and "landing" needs a person to work together, Chun is considered the final helm.

Another conjecture for Sohu's video architecture adjustment is this adjustment or paving the road for Sohu Video acquisition pplive.

Sohu Video Acquisition PPLive In addition to management, prices and other issues, Tao and Deng Ye relationship is also difficult to settle. A source said to Phoenix technology, the negotiations in addition to Price, Tao and Charles Zhang put forward a condition is that pplive people "can not move", and one of the most obvious hint is that Tao position can not move, which undoubtedly poses another problem for Charles Zhang.

If the Sohu video architecture of this adjustment really elevated the authority of Deng Ye, perhaps for the acquisition of pplive cloth under a good game.
