Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

Even if he does have some premium, his future valuation will be far more than $73 billion.

Therefore, after YouTube's valuation was fired to 73 billion US dollars, a series of IT companies around the world have set their sights on video.

Yahoo, the world's No. [-] portal, launched its latest video service.

Microsoft said that they will increase investment in this area of ​​video.

America Online portal also said that they will launch video services in the near future.

domestic aspect.

Tudou quickly received the first financing, which will greatly promote the development of video business in China.

Moreover, Youku Video and Kuliu.com were also born one year earlier than the historical track.

Sina quickly followed up and launched the Sina video service.

It can be said that the entire global Internet exploded for a while because of the huge valuation of YouTube.

This is normal.

From the perspective of business logic, if a certain product suddenly sells at a high price, it will inevitably drive the development of the entire industry.

ICQ was sold at a sky-high price of 1.2 million U.S. dollars that year, which also drove the development of the global instant messaging industry.

In fact, the huge financing of Youyou.com also brought the entire community website into focus.

It's just a pity, although at that time a group of capital Internet giants also entered the field of social networking sites.

But social networking sites are not so easy to do.

Friends.com quickly locked in the user layer through personal connections, and some other companies were very trapped if they wanted to enter.

But compared to the friends network of social networks, there is no doubt that video sites are easier to do.

After all, his stickiness is definitely not as strong as that of social networking sites.

If they enhance the video content, they can also develop the video business.

Even if it is not as good as YouTube, it can also gain a certain market share.

In addition, some of those who have entered the video business are themselves portal websites, and they also have resources to support the video business.Like Yahoo, they not only have a portal website, but also a search engine, which greatly supports the video business. Under such circumstances, Yahoo's entry into the video business is also favored by many capitals.

In addition, MSN plus code video business is also worth looking forward to.

MSN itself is a globally popular instant messaging software. Although it has declined, its market share is still there.At the same time, backed by Microsoft, its strength should not be underestimated.

Of course, while these giant Internet companies entered, Huanyu Technology was not idle.

A two-person team composed of Li Xuelin and Wang Xiaochuan has been sent to the United States before.With Wang Chang's help, Huanyu's video business was established in North America soon.And, also launched their Huanyu video network for the first time.

However, there is a slight deviation from the previous strategy.

Chen Yu didn't expect that the video business would explode after Google entered.

This also made the preliminary work of Universal Video Network not progress very smoothly.

For example, poaching video internet celebrities.

Before that, Li Xuelin prepared a sum of funds, planning to poach a series of Internet celebrities from YouTube.But suddenly the video business exploded, not only Huanyu Technology wanted to tap, Yahoo, Microsoft, America Online and a series of video website business companies also wanted to tap.In the end, Li Xuelin only found a dozen internet celebrities, which was far from what was expected.

However, although it failed at the beginning, the short video service launched in 15 seconds has achieved good results.Although it has not exploded with any influence yet, as long as the traffic increases, the short video business will become the most dazzling existence in the video field.

Chapter 855: Why is there a video of aunt dancing?

"Brin, Chen Shijun really wants to leave?"

"Yes."

"Pity."

"It's not a pity. Although Chen Shijun has left, most of YouTube's management is still there."

After Google took over YouTube, it didn't make too many changes.

Everything is still operated according to the original YouTube management.

But the addition of Google has brought great benefits to youtobe.

Not just in terms of traffic, but also in terms of funds.

However, although YouTube's scale has reached nearly 7%, the competition is obviously more intense.

A series of companies such as Yahoo, Microsoft, and America Online have successively launched their own video services.

Lamented that after Chen Shijun completely left YouTube, Brin and Page studied these competitors.

"Let's leave if Chen Shijun leaves. We won't discuss it. Let's talk about Microsoft's MSN Video and Yahoo Video."

"MSN Video Network and AOL Video are not our opponents for the time being, but Yahoo should be more careful."

"I also feel that Yahoo has poached us a lot of internet celebrities."

Brin also nodded: "And they have portals and search engines to support them, but we have a relatively large advantage in YouTube, and they haven't accumulated enough content in terms of content, so they don't pose much threat to us for the time being."

"Where is Huanyu Technology, does their friend network have any action?"

"Friends.com doesn't seem to have plans to enter the video business."

"strangeness."

Page shook his head: "It's not right here, it's impossible for Friends.com not to enter the video segment."

The reason why Chen Yu was able to raise the price before was that the two agreed that Friends.com would definitely enter the video business.

So even if they knew that Chen Yu was raising the price, they still had to take YouTube down.

Otherwise, if YouTube falls into the hands of Friends.com, the consequences will be unimaginable.

It's just that it's a little strange now, why hasn't Friends.com launched a video service?

You know, the traffic of their friends network is not much lower than that of Google.

If you talk about the viscosity of users, the viscosity of Friends.com is undoubtedly higher than that of Google.

Generally speaking, Friends.com's launch of video services is more lethal than Yahoo's launch of video services.

After looking through the investigation, the two still found the answer.

It's not that Youyou.com didn't enter the video field, but that Huanyu Technology changed its approach.

They launched a separate website called Universal Video.

This website is separate from Friends.com and does not belong to Friends.com.

"There are such good resources that are not used, why do you want to build a new website?"

"Did Huanyu Technology overestimate its own strength?"

Both of them are a little confused.

If it were them, they would definitely take advantage of Friends.com to launch video services.

Just like they will use Google's advantage to launch the video business.

Although their Google video didn't take off, it did develop very quickly in the beginning.

But if it is a brand new website, although Google can also support the new website secretly, but because it is not the same company, the operation is naturally much more troublesome.Moreover, Google is a listed company, and it cannot secretly transfer benefits.

However, although they were extremely surprised, the two also knew what was going on.

It is nothing more than Universal Technology does not want to share the benefits with other capital of Friends.com.

"Heh, Huanyu Technology has a good idea, do they think they can really make the video website successful."

Brin said with a cold snort.

"Don't underestimate Huanyu Technology, study their website first."

"Too."

The two dare not be careless.

No matter what Huanyu Technology does, the two of them are very wary of Huanyu Technology.

In particular, the dominance of Universal Technology in China proves the strength of Universal Technology.

Although Huanyu Technology is slightly weaker in the global Internet field, this weakness is relatively limited.

If Friends.com develops for a few more years, it may not be a giant on an equal footing with Google.

"Peppa, what's the use of these short videos of about 15 seconds?"

The layout of Huanyu Video Network is similar to that of other video websites.

The website has successively launched some original video websites, and also added video categories.

Game commentary, news commentary, life video...these are some.

These were not very involved in YouTube before.

Moreover, in order to improve the treatment of original video users, they not only subsidized these video users, they also launched a reward function.

This feature makes both Brin and Page feel good.

By rewarding original video users in this way, not only can they get more income, but they can also accumulate more die-hard fans.

Regarding this, both of them tacitly agreed, and after a while they decided to copy this function over.

Apart from this function, Universal Video doesn't have too many bright spots.

Although they added video categories.

But Huanyu video can increase, can't youtobe?

In terms of original users and browsing users, who can compare to them on YouTube?

There are nearly 10 videos every day, which brings a steady stream of various videos to YouTube.

Although youtobe once focused on funny videos before, it was just to attract users.

Now, they can diversify and develop as much as possible to catch all classes of users.

But despite this analysis, a 15-second video in the Huanyu video made them extremely strange.

This setting should be said to be the biggest difference between Universal Video and them.

At first they thought this 15-second video was the most essential segment, but after watching it, they found that it was not.

15 seconds is just a 15-second short video.

He wasn't very refined, and he wasn't very attractive.

He also doesn't have much character.

There are a lot of boring videos out there.

He looks like some shitty video posted by a kid.

He doesn't have any very clear pictures, and there are no edits, and some of them don't even sound very good.

In short, it is such a video that has nothing to watch, but it is promoted by them.

"Brin, do you think these 15-second short videos look good?"

"It doesn't seem very pretty."

"Then why do videos like this become the channels they focus on promoting?"

"This... who knows."

Brin smacked his lips, and he watched a few more videos.

Same as previous judgment.

It's really boring and has nothing to watch.

You see, they even recommend videos of aunts dancing.

Brin admired how these aunts had the idea of ​​recording videos.

Do these aunts think they are beautiful?

Or, do these aunts feel that they are so attractive in dancing?

Even to watch the dance.
