古永锵 / Gu Yongqiang

Gu Yongqiang is the 优酷 / Youku founder discussed in No.204 互联网视频平台混战：从后舍男生到漫长的季节 | 中国互联网故事21. The episode presents him as a Sohu-system executive who built Youku around speed, stability, and infrastructure at a time when online video still felt technically fragile.

His role in the wiki is to anchor the product-and-infrastructure route of early Chinese online video. After 优酷 / Youku’s public-market high point, he led the merged Youku-Tudou company and later entered Alibaba’s entertainment system after acquisition.
