Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1753 The efficiency of truck transportation is high
Zhou Buqi wanted to appease and explain this, saying: "Cloud computing is very complicated, and the technical difficulty is very high... But in terms of industry threshold, streaming media may be higher than cloud computing. In the future, any technology company can Transforming into cloud computing, but wanting to be a video streaming platform, it is not enough to have technology and a team. In the final analysis, it depends on the content. Whoever has more content has an advantage. Content is the highest threshold.”

Hagetings sighed and nodded.

Of course he understands this.

Zhou Buqi went on to say: "Looking at it now, it seems that the competition in the streaming media industry is more intense, and the cloud computing industry is basically a duo between Ziwei Cloud and Amazon Cloud. But in the long run, the competition in the cloud computing industry is still more intense. Yes For Netflix, the most important thing is not technology, or even word of mouth and reputation, but content. Content is the first attraction to users.”

There are some problems in the cooperation between Ziweiyun and Netflix.

If it is publicly stated that Ziweiyun will take responsibility, it will deal a blow to Ziweiyun's brand image, affect the competition between Ziweiyun and Amazon Cloud, and be detrimental to long-term brand building.

If Netflix takes the blame... To be honest, the impact is not too big.

As long as Netflix has enough high-quality content, it can continuously attract more new users.

Hagentings was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "No problem, if similar things happen in the future, Netflix will immediately declare that it is a system failure of Netflix itself, and will not pass the problem on to Ziwei on the cloud."

Zhou Buqi was very satisfied and very happy, "That's right, this is the decision that is most in line with Netflix's interests. Ziwei Cloud's strategic positioning is to deeply deploy the video streaming industry, and it has already signed contracts with many streaming media platforms. If The cooperation between Netflix and Ziweiyun is very beautiful, so more and more streaming media platforms choose to cooperate with Ziweiyun. Ziweiyun's technology accumulation will become more and more mature, and finally Netflix will become more stable and more efficient. More and more efficient, this is a friendly mutual assistance that complements each other."

"Netflix has 180 million paid subscribers in Texas, and more than 3 of those subscribers were affected by a technical glitch," Hagetings said.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said frankly: "Netflix should focus on users. If its own reasons affect the user's experience, it must make compensation. This is what it should be. What is your plan?"

"To these more than 3 users, a one-month membership was given as compensation."

"The money came from Ziweiyun!"

Zhou Buqi gave his plan neatly.

Let Netflix take the blame, so don't let Netflix take the money.

There are more than 3 users, and each user adds one month of membership...a ​​total of more than 1 US dollars, which is nothing to Ziweiyun.

Hagentings nodded, then frowned slightly, and asked, "Ziweiyun has signed a contract with another streaming platform? Is it Hulu?"

"No, it was a good deal at first, but then Hulu changed management and went back on it."

Zhou Buqi is very helpless, he has planted sycamore trees for Ziweiyun, but market awareness needs to be cultivated, not all streaming media platforms can recognize the advantages and inevitability of cloud services.

It will take time for them to understand the market.

This is also the reason why Ziweiyun had some technical failures and asked Netflix to take the blame.

If Netflix does not take the blame, then Ziweiyun will take the blame.

If the news gets out, it will make colleagues even more afraid and vigilant about cooperation with the cloud computing industry.The longer the time passes, the more unfavorable it will be for Ziweiyun.

Cloud services in the streaming media industry are non-migratable.

Such as Hulu.

If Hulu chooses Ziweiyun, it basically means that Hulu will always be tied to Ziweiyun in this life, and it will be impossible to jump to other platforms.

Now, there are many technical failures in Amazon Cloud, but the cooperation between Ziweiyun and Netflix has been going smoothly. This is another big opportunity for Netflix to win the streaming media market as soon as possible.

Hagentings shook his head, "It doesn't matter if it's Hulu or not, as long as there are other streaming media partners. If there is a problem with Netflix, Netflix can come forward to deal with it. That's no problem. What about other streaming media platforms? ? If there is a problem with them, won’t Ziwei Cloud’s technical failure be made public?”

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that."

"Did you sign the confidentiality clause?"

Hagentings was somewhat surprised.If this is the case, then Ziweiyun's team work is really meticulous and perfect!
Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "There is no confidentiality clause, but there is no need to worry."

"Ok?"

Hagentings was at a loss and said he didn't quite understand.

Zhou Buqi coughed and explained: "Cloud computing belongs to the cutting-edge industry. The general streaming media platforms are cautious and dare not cooperate. They are worried that the failure of the cloud computing platform will affect the streaming media platform's own services. However, there is a special category of streaming media sites that can keep up with the times, use the most cutting-edge science and technology, and are extremely innovative. It can even be said that the technological innovation and business innovation of the streaming media industry all come from this industry. "

"Adult Tube."

Hagentings understood immediately.

Technological innovation and business innovation in the streaming media industry... Technological innovation is a bit exaggerated, but business innovation resonates with him.

Netflix's business model is the best in the streaming market.

However, is Netflix's business model original?

No.

Those who study are restricted websites.

Most of the websites that most people look at are basically free websites.However, the content on free websites is generally shoddy, with little gameplay, poor content, and low clarity.

There is also a category of purely paid websites.

That's great.

There are all kinds of eye-catching content, all of which are the best of the best.This kind of high-quality content relies on the business model of membership.There is no free content, just like Netflix, you can only access the site if you buy a membership.

This pattern emerged as early as ten years ago.

It is definitely the originator and pioneer of the streaming media industry.

That's not enough!
If you look carefully, you will find that there are a lot of high-quality content on this kind of free restricted-level website, but the video content is very short... After watching it, it disappeared, and then a link popped up, saying that I want to watch the full version , go to the next site.

This requires vigilance.

Could be a liar, could be real.Once it is true, then this website is a paid website for member subscriptions.

This is business innovation!

It is the business idea that Zhou Buqi designed for Netflix, editing some content on Netflix into small pieces, and spreading them on public platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, YikYak, YouTube, and Yahoo.

In fact, it is drainage!

Put this kind of incomplete clip on a free website, so that more users can discover and watch it, thereby arousing their curiosity and interest in watching it, and then switch to Netflix to subscribe and become a Netflix user.

This set of models, adult-level streaming media sites have played through as early as ten years ago!

This is the appropriate flow method, and it is one of the most popular and popular methods in the mobile Internet era.In fact, as early as more than ten years ago, it was played by a group of more innovative industries.

Including the later 3D online video, VR online video, etc., these innovative concepts were first used by restricted websites.

The reason for this is not because practitioners of restricted streaming media sites are more innovative, but because of the characteristics of the industry.Users in this industry have a high tolerance.

If there is a breakdown in Netflix, users can scold their mothers; if there is a breakdown in those websites...it will be released as soon as it comes out. high.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about Ziweiyun's cooperation with such websites.

Even if there is a technical failure, it doesn't matter, people don't care at all.

So it's settled.

Boss Zhou stepped in and solved it easily.

Zhou Buqi was in a good mood, so he smiled and said, "How is the cooperation between Netflix and Ziweixing Universal? Have all the digital content been uploaded?"

Ziwei Star Global has too much content, which is a huge amount of data.

The first thing is digital processing, then the conversion of different versions of definition, and then uploading these super massive data to the server in the cloud, it is not a matter of overnight.

Hagentings is not in a hurry, "It is estimated that it will be basically completed by the end of next year, and the two sides are working together to advance this matter."

"One year later? So slow?" Zhou Buqi was surprised, "What's going on? Poor efficiency or slow internet speed?"

"Ah?" Hagetings was slightly taken aback, then shook his head, "The speed of the network is not fast enough, but it has nothing to do with the speed of the network. The transmission of data does not rely on broadband, but on large trucks."

"What?" Zhou Buqi was taken aback, "Truck?"

Hagentings said: "Yes, trucks are the most effective way of data transmission. If a large amount of film and television content data is transmitted online to the cloud server, it will consume too much network and electricity costs, and the efficiency will be low. It’s too low. Put the content directly into the hard disk, then transport it to the cloud data center by truck, and transfer the content from the hard disk to the server in the data center through offline methods.”

"Excellent." This is beyond Zhou Buqi's cognition. It turns out that truck transportation is the fastest way to transfer data. "Then why is it so slow?"

Hagentings said: "It is mainly the conversion of digital content. Only 25% of the content in Ziwei Star Universal's huge film library has been digitally converted. The rest are film content, which needs to be reel by reel. Converting film into digital content is too much work.”

Zhou Buqi told him, "We can split part of the content and bring it to China to do."

"Teletronic transfer" and "magnetic rotation number" are actually relatively technical. This field has developed rapidly in China in the past few years. As long as the training is good, it is completely competent.

Take out a part of the film and transport it to the country.Then the domestic team converts the film content into digital content and stores it in the hard disk, and then transports the hard disk to the United States, and distributes it from the headquarters to the world.

Of course, the distribution of content cannot be online transmission.

Small to small data, online transmission is okay.Massive data still requires traditional transportation methods.

For example, Netflix's UK business needs to store data in standardized server hard drives, then airlift them to the UK, then transport them to the cloud data center by truck, and load the standardized hard drives into the servers to complete the data transmission.

Well, this is a very important thing!
It's a strategic level!
It is necessary to organize a temporary coordinating committee to organize Ziweixing International, Ziweixing, Netflix, Ziweixing Global, Jieyu Media, Huayi, China Film, etc. to make a good plan.
