This kind of thing must be done and experienced by yourself in order to truly understand the charm of short videos.
However, what Chen Yu wants to do is not just short videos.
After finishing speaking, Chen Yu looked at Wang Xiaochuan: "Xiaochuan, how do you feel after listening to it just now?"
"I feel that I have benefited a lot. Mr. Chen, your thinking is really far beyond ours."
"Don't flatter me, I mean, do you have any experience with our video site?"
"This one……"
Wang Xiaochuan was a little embarrassed, shook his head and said, "No."
It's really not.
Wang Xiaochuan never had the idea of building a video website.
He has been working on search engines.
He was still wondering, what did Mr. Chen call him for?
But Chen Yu quickly said: "Xiao Chuan, search engines are all-encompassing, and he is also related to videos."
Seeing that Wang Xiaochuan was puzzled, Chen Yu continued: "As a search engine, you should know what videos users like to search for the most, what are the videos with the most clicks in certain areas, and what are the videos with the most comments...Of course, this is not Point. Point is, can we know in advance what kind of videos we like?"
"Mr. Chen, this is also simple. We can analyze the user's search habits, Internet data, and basic user attributes to know in advance what kind of videos a certain user likes."
"That's a good answer."
Chen Yu clapped his hands and said, "Sure enough, it's technology. It's not difficult to develop this technology."
"It's not difficult."
"Since it's not difficult, that's fine. Let's make it another day and use it on our video website to see the effect."
"what?"
Wang Xiaochuan didn't understand something.
But soon, Wang Xiaochuan understood a little bit: "Mr. Chen, you mean we can make a smart recommendation?"
"Correct."
Chen Yu nodded.
"We can work hard on content operations, and so can YouTube. We can produce short 15-second videos, and so can YouTube. But what should we rely on to maintain our advantage, or to make them uncopyable... …In my opinion, it lies in our intelligent recommendation. We can judge what kind of videos the other party likes based on the user's preferences, behavior habits, including age, position, etc. And if the user likes what kind of video, we can always recommend it to him This type of related video."
"That is to say, in the future, our content recommendation scheme will no longer be calculated based on clicks and replies to these hard data, but based on user preferences. Of course, it is not just preferences, but through a series of comprehensive algorithms , to recommend videos to users that they are most interested in.”
"Mr. Chen, your idea..."
Li Xuelin stood up suddenly.
Chen Yu's recommendation mechanism has completely subverted the portal's style of play, as well as YouTube's style of play.
It also subverted the previous style of a series of Internet websites.
In layman's terms.
The Internet in the past, whether it was a portal website, a video website, or even a game company.
That is, what the original company provides, what the user sees.
What kind of news is provided by the portal website, what kind of news users will watch.
What kind of video is provided by the video website, what kind of video users watch.
What kind of game the game company provides, the user will play what kind of game.
Although there are also some specific categories for selection, it is still too single.
And then again, although you can choose, but in fact, you can see what the system chooses.
Whether it's the Internet or game companies, they don't really understand the needs of every user.
Of course, they didn't need to know before.
To understand what each user needs to do, he only needs to understand the needs of most users.
Besides, isn't there a saying that no one product can be liked by everyone.
If it can satisfy the likes of most people, it has been done perfectly.
but……
In Chen Yu's mode, everything changed completely.
According to Chen Yu's model, perhaps his products may not be sold to everyone.
But his products can definitely be recommended to his favorite people at the first time.
This is actually the same as e-commerce recommending products to users through big data.
But now it's a different way.
But this way of changing is more precise, more professional, and uniquely groundbreaking.
What he brought was a change in the entire industry and the entire Internet concept.
"Mr. Chen, can you tell me more?"
Li Xuelin took the initiative to ask questions.
"Actually, there is nothing to say, and he doesn't have any profound reasoning. It's like eating. I may like to eat a certain kind of food or a certain kind of food all my life. No matter how long it has passed, I will not change. .It’s the same on the Internet, I will always want to watch what I like to watch. What we have to do is to continuously recommend content that interests the user..."
The truth is actually very simple, just talking about it, the two of them will understand.
Li Xuelin asked excitedly again: "Mr. Chen, in other words, this model can also be placed on the portal website?"
"you guess?"
Chen Yu smiled without saying a word.
Chapter 852: Raising the price of the little prince
Naturally, portal websites can also be subverted with this model.
The most classic examples are today's headlines and fun headlines.
However, now is not the time to consider the portal website, let's get the video first.
A few days later, Li Xuelin and Wang Xiaochuan came to Chen Yu's office again.
Although Chen Yu appointed Li Xuelin to be in charge of the video going overseas, Chen Yu also called Wang Xiaochuan over.
At first, Wang Xiaochuan thought that he only needed to be in charge of technology, but after Chen Yu renovated the model, Wang Xiaochuan became more and more shocked as he researched.He feels that through a method of big data analysis and recommendation, in the future, the search engine he is in charge of may also be able to overtake in a corner, catch up with Baidu, and even compete with Google.
For a while, Wang Xiaochuan was extremely interested in the video business.
For the latest plan, they studied with Li Xuelin for a whole week.
"Well, this plan is good."
Seeing the latest plan, Chen Yu was satisfied.
However, Chen Yu frowned when he saw the funds behind.
"Xuelin, what's going on with this 1 million dollars?"
"Mr. Chen, this is the funds we need to invest in the early stage."
"so much?"
"This piece is indeed a lot."
Li Xuelin explained: "Video websites are no different from ordinary websites. They require a lot of resources for bandwidth and video storage. Especially after the website attracts more popularity, the amount of uploads by users every day may not be enough for an individual to watch in a lifetime."
"Xuelin, it's not a day, but the amount of uploads in 1 minute, which may not be read by human beings in a lifetime."
Wang Xiaochuan, who is in charge of technology, corrected Li Xuelin and said.
Such a terrifying upload resource, so his investment is also very large.
This is also the reason why video websites could not find profits in many cases before.
It's not that they can't make money, but the cost of saving these videos and allowing users to watch them normally is a huge expense.
"How much money is left on the Huanyu Portal account?"
"Mr. Chen, don't worry, there is still money in the company's account for the time being."
The company Li Xuelin refers to is not Universal Technology Group, but Universal Portal.
Although Huanyu Portal doesn't seem to make money, Huanyu Automobile, the secondary channel of Huanyu Portal, is quite profitable.
The current Huanyu Automobile is not just a car portal, it is also involved in car buying and selling, car insurance...etc.As the most authoritative and professional platform in China, Huanyu Portal is not necessarily stronger than Xinlang on the whole, but when it comes to earning power, it is not one or two points stronger than Xinlang.
"I know."
Chen Yu nodded: "But Xuelin, didn't you say that making videos costs a lot of money? It needs 1 million US dollars now, how much will it cost in the future?"
"This is still uncertain. In my estimation, we will need financing after US$1 million."
If there is no financing in the future, ordinary enterprises will not be able to withstand it.
After all, if you want to make video websites bigger and stronger in the future, and reach the world, any website will cost tens of billions of dollars.
Such a scale is not something a company can afford.
Even if it can bear it, ordinary companies will not do it.
"Financing should be done slowly. If you want to raise money, you must first complete the website."
"Well, let's start the business first, and I will consider the funds needed later."
Chen Yu started the video website to make money.
Although in order to make money, you must invest in the early stage.
But Huanyu Portal doesn't necessarily have to be very rich, and Chen Yu's heart aches for investing too much at once.
Furthermore, to be honest, after receiving Lin Benjian's lithography machine, Chen Yu was already very poor.
Even if there is money in the accounts of some subsidiaries now, Chen Yu dare not spend money casually.
……
A few days later, Chen Yu took Li Xuelin and Wang Xiaochuan to the United States again.
However, Chen Yu was not with Li Xuelin and Wang Xiaochuan.
Instead, let them take care of the video business themselves.
Li Xuelin is also smart, but he went to Wang Chang's place immediately.
Although Wang Chang is now in charge of Friends.com, he was considered to have worked together in the past.
After asking Wang Chang for advice, the preliminary work of Universal Video in North America is progressing very smoothly.
As for where did Chen Yu go?
He went to youtube.
Recently, it has been rumored that there is a plan to sell it on youtobe.
All of a sudden, a lot of capital, and a series of global IT companies have contacted YouTube.
Hearing such news, Chen Yu naturally couldn't react indifferently.
Therefore, he also contacted YouTube founder Chen Shijun.
Correct.
That's right.
The founder of Youtobe is also a Chinese-American.
The reality is amazing.
The founder of Yahoo is a Chinese American, and the founder of YouTube is also a Chinese American.
Of course, Chen Yu contacted Chen Shijun not to buy YouTube.
Although Chen Yu has reason to buy.
But the acquisition of YouTube requires too much money. On the one hand, Chen Yu's funds are very tight, and on the other hand, he doesn't want to acquire it at all.
