Chapter 208 When will the domestic video website be launched?
“A video website?” Xiong Xiaoge said with a smile, “It’s YouTube, a very popular video website in the United States.”
Qin Shaoyan looked surprised, "Then what does this have to do with China's video website?"
"Are you pretending to be confused with me?" Xiong Xiaoge still had a smile on his face, "The United States has already told me. "
"What did I tell you?" Qin Shaoyan asked curiously.
"Stop pretending." Xiong Xiaoge said, "You have launched another video website in the United States. It has been very successful. I heard that the data is very good."
"Since you have launched it in the United States, Are you going to build a video website in China?"
Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "Well, I'm still thinking about it."
"What are you considering?" Xiong Xiaoge urged. " If you start it, I will invest money immediately.”
“There is no rush for money.” Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, “I started a video website in the United States mainly to build an ecological layout for Facebook, and videos are part of it. .”
"You also know the situation of Facebook. Right now it only relies on advertising revenue, and other business models have not yet been developed."
"Video websites can very well supplement Facebook's social ecosystem, which is very important The listing valuation is very beneficial.”
“Campus Network is different from Facebook. Campus Network has its own business model layout and does not need to rely on video websites to tell stories.”
Qin Shaoyan thought about it, "Besides, video websites still have a problem, which is the Internet speed."
"You also know the domestic Internet speed. Let alone watching videos, you can open a large Internet speed at this speed. The pictures you click are stuck, and watching the video is like watching a PPT, which is very bad for the user experience.”
Xiong Xiaoge frowned and said seriously: "This is not a big problem, right? The domestic infrastructure is still developing, and the Internet speed will continue to accelerate."
"The video website is laid out in advance for that and that." Xiong Xiaoge scratched his head, "Oh, it's called ecological layout, right?"
"Yes." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "Campus Network is deeply involved in the social field, carrying out sustainable operations in vertical fields, and accumulating potential energy. ”
“Create a social platform with the campus network as the core, take advantage of traffic distribution, and build a social ecosystem with a multi-dimensional and multi-brand product matrix. ”
“Ultimately feed back the social platform. , build a brand moat in depth.”
"Yes, yes, that's it." Xiong Xiaoge nodded fiercely, investors loved hearing this.
On the entire Internet, Qin Shaoyan and Mr. Qin are the only ones who can do this, and others can’t do it at all.
"Actually, I have no plans to start this video website." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile: "But since Mr. Xiong is interested, we will discuss this matter in detail later. I haven't even prepared a PPT."
“I first asked Zhang Pingyi to create a basic version. He was deeply involved in the YouTube project in the United States. He developed many functions and asked him to transplant it over.”
Xiong Xiaoge showed a meaningful smile, stretched out his finger and tapped Qin Shaoyan, "Look, I know that you have been prepared for a long time, and you have hidden it from me."
"Tell me how long it will take to get it done."
Zhang Pingyi, the CTO of the campus network and Qin Shaoyan's absolute confidant, participated in the entire YouTube website project.
As a result, Qin Shaoyan told himself that he did not plan to start a video website.
Why would you let Zhang Pingyi participate in YouTube if you don’t plan to start a video website?
Qin Shaoyan did not explain, "It takes three or two months no matter what."
"Why does it take so long?" Xiong Xiaoge was a little surprised, "You went to the United States for less than two months, and it didn't take two months to start YouTube from scratch."
"It's different." Qin Shaoyan said lightly Said, "YouTube hired a very powerful person as CTO. Zhang Pingyi only assisted, and there were also twelve programmers seconded by Facebook."
"But in China, there is only Zhang Pingyi. We need to recruit people, organize training, and restructure the website."
Xiong Xiaoge felt relieved, "Then I'll wait for your good news in the next year."
"One word. It’s decided.” Qin Shaoyan pointed at the international summer camp plan with a smile, “Let’s get back to the topic. Let’s talk about this big project.”
Xiong Xiaoge opened the plan happily and read it carefully. "London, Paris, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington, New York..."
Xiong Xiaoge took a few glances and found that in addition to visiting universities in various places, there are also tourist attractions and national parks. Camping, then a tour of the Capitol, and finally the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
The climax of this international summer camp study tour is at the United Nations Headquarters, where college students from all over the world will hold the "World Youth Representatives Summit".
The content of the summit includes theme discussions, youth roundtables, master dialogues and other forms.
Conduct dialogues around topics such as sustainable development, entrepreneurship and innovation, public welfare and social innovation.
Invited guests include famous scientists, media elites, investors, artists, charity leaders, multinational corporate executives, outstanding entrepreneurs, etc.
Finally, each country selects a representative student to deliver a speech and organize a mock debate competition, etc.
“The content is really rich and colorful.” Xiong Xiaoge sighed, “Have these projects been finalized?”
“Basically, they have been finalized, and the plan has been submitted to the United Nations. Very soon There will be a reply soon." Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "It's not a big problem. The UN officials also spoke highly of our plan and said they would vigorously host it."
"That's good." Xiong Xiaoge nodded, "How do you plan to choose the members of the summer camp?"
Qin Shaoyan replied seriously: "Conduct an audition among campus network users, let users register online, and then... There will be a round of drawings, and finally there will be a background review."
"Really drawing lots?" Xiong Xiaoge asked.
"Of course it's a real draw." Qin Shaoyan said firmly, "We will never cheat."
Xiong Xiaoge suddenly smiled, "Mr. Qin, you are very brave."
Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds and said slowly: "The drawing of lots is only part of the selection. We will also cooperate with some colleges and universities, and they will recommend candidates to directly enter the finals."
"In the end, the teachers of the expert jury will judge All finalists will be evaluated comprehensively and the final list will be shortlisted. "
"The entire selection process will be based on the principles of fairness and justice. All summer camp members will be selected by a panel of experts, and our website will never interfere. "
"Of course, the campus network, as the sponsor of the event, has the final right of interpretation."
Xiong Xiaoge still smiled and said nothing. After discussing a few issues with Qin Shaoyan, he stood up and left. .
As soon as Xiong Xiaoge left, Qin Shaoyan immediately called Zhang Minyi over.
"Master Zhang, I have to work hard for you these two months." Qin Shaoyan smiled helplessly, "Let's make a video website."
Zhang Pingyi was stunned and felt Somewhat unbelievable, "Didn't you say you won't do it in China?"
"Xiong Xiaoge came just now and insisted that I do it in China." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "I am a soft-eared person, so I can't help but Persuasion."
"Since Mr. Xiong is so willing to give, would it be too rude for me to refuse?"
Zhang Pingyi exclaimed: "This is really what Xiong Xiaoge asked for. Didn't you fool him?"
"What are you talking about?" Qin Shaoyan glared at Zhang Pingyi, "What's the benefit of me fooling him?"
Zhang Pingyi frowned, "Didn't you say before that video websites don't make money? Why are you still doing it?"
"It's Xiong Xiaoge who wants to do it." Qin Shaoyan corrected, "I was forced to do it. Helpless.”
“No one knows whether the video website will make money, maybe it will.”
"Even if you can't make money from users, you can still make money from American investors. Even if it doesn't work, you can still make money from investors."
Zhang Pingyi was a little helpless, "What will happen if investors find out that the website is not making money in the end? "
Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "If the website doesn't make money, it must be because the environment is not good. What does it have to do with me? "
