Chapter 3122 Hollywood is a traffic machine

Today's cloud computing platforms are mainly based on public clouds.

Only the public cloud is the true concept of "cloud computing" when the concept was first proposed. It is the "sharing economy" that can maximize platform efficiency, save platform resources and even social resources, and will not cause large-scale waste.

Compared with private clouds, public clouds are cheaper, but less secure. Public clouds are shared spaces, and since they are shared, there are bound to be great security risks. For this reason, many cloud products on the market are labeled as private clouds even though they are public clouds.

Apple Cloud is not a professional cloud computing platform and does not have those dazzling cloud services.

The main purpose is to provide independent storage space for Apple users.

A private cloud.

However, even though it is a private cloud, Apple's cloud photo album has been attacked and cracked by hackers time and time again, resulting in nude photos of female celebrities being spread all over the Internet, which shows the shortcomings of its security mechanism.

When Jiang Fan came here this time, he also saw the disadvantages of Apple Cloud.

They want to take advantage of Hollywood's momentum and through product comparison, further strengthen Ziwei Cloud's brand and industry leadership, so that Ziwei Cloud can gain greater recognition and higher market share by stepping on Apple Cloud.

However, Zhou Buqi cannot just look at the benefits of Ziwei Cloud's business.

Jiang Fan's proposal was very good, and he had also been recognized by Kurian, so he came here specially. However, even Kurian had a short perspective, and might not have the overall vision of Boss Zhou.

Not to mention whether the security of Ziwei Cloud's cloud photo album product can really withstand the continuous attacks of hackers.

If, relying on the influence of Boss Zhou, many female stars stored their photos in the Ziwei Cloud photo album space, and they were still hacked a few years later and the nude photos were still spread all over the Internet, it would be too embarrassing. Even if the security has withstood the test and Ziwei Cloud has protected the privacy of female stars...but is this a good thing?

not necessarily!

Hollywood female stars are a very special group, a group that can attract attention from all over the world, and can quickly ferment in global public opinion and form a significant influence!

  To put it bluntly, it is a huge traffic machine!

If the nude photos of Hollywood female stars continue to leak, it will cause a public opinion crisis effect again and again around the world. Boss Zhou is based in Hollywood and has the support of a cluster of social industries, so he can effectively control such a public opinion crisis.

Due to the strong rise of feminism and the prevalence of female sympathy, every similar incident can become an important weapon for Zhou Buqi to suppress Apple and even express personal justice, bringing huge free traffic to individuals, Hollywood, and many products under Ziweixing.

If we rescue these female stars from the nude photo crisis, wouldn't we be giving up an effective weapon to control the situation?

Zhou Buqi had finally established such a large territory in Hollywood, so he had to make full use of it. He asked Jiang Fan, "Will our cloud photo album also be attacked?"

Jiang Fan said: "Of course, there are many, but they simply cannot break through our dozens of layers of defense. Most hackers, let alone approaching our products, will be discovered by us as soon as they release the 'handshake signal' of exploration. In terms of security protection, we are confident that we are the best in the world."

Zhou Buqi asked: "How many celebrity users do we have for our photo album product?"

"This..." Jiang Fan shook his head. "We can't count this. There is no real-name system in the United States. It is difficult for us to confirm who is a celebrity and who is an ordinary person."

Because they cared about Kirar's emotions, the two of them kept communicating in English so that he could understand.

After hearing this, Kilar added: "It can be divided by service price. How will Ziwei Cloud charge for its photo album product?" Jiang Fan said: "Our product EverAlbum focuses on 'free + paid' service. Every user can have 1gb of free photo album space. If you pay $1.99 per month, you can expand the storage space to 5gb. This capacity can basically meet the needs of all users. The price is actually very low."

Kilar asked, “How many users are there?”

"That's a lot!" Although Jiang Fan is not directly responsible for this business, as the vice president of Ziwei Cloud, he is quite familiar with this business. "Our cloud photo album cooperates with Samsung and Asda. The default photo libraries of Samsung and Asda mobile phones are connected to our cloud photo album. With the support of these two major mobile phone manufacturers, our cloud photo album has more than 2.8 million users worldwide. Among them, there are more than 1700 million paying users, which can generate more than 2 million US dollars in revenue each year."

Kirar frowned slightly, "Not much!"

Jiang Fan said: "We have basically reached a balance between income and expenditure. If Hollywood stars come to our site, it will bring a huge star aura to our products, and I believe it will greatly increase the number of paying users."

Kilar laughed and said, "I think the fee is too low. We can launch a secure and private one-to-one customized photo album service for $199 or even $999 a year, specifically for celebrities who have an urgent need to protect their personal privacy. Anyway, they don't care about money."

Jiang Fan looked at Zhou Buqi, "How is it?"

Zhou Buqi thought slowly and said, "We can do it, and the idea is fine, but... we can't lose the big picture because of the small. We shouldn't attract celebrities to our cloud products, especially Hollywood stars who have huge social influence and can bring in countless free traffic."

Kilar immediately understood what he meant. "Indeed, there is harm only when there is comparison. Some people use EverAlbum, and their personal photos are protected; some people still use Apple Cloud, and their albums are attacked and cracked again and again. This kind of comparison will make marketing more possible."

"That's what I mean." Zhou Buqi smiled. "The advantage of monopoly is that you can make more money. The disadvantage of monopoly is that there is a lack of comparison reference in the market, so users cannot feel the strong competitiveness of the product. Without comparison, users will only find faults; with comparison, they can praise the product."

Jiang Fan nodded.

I realized that this is obviously not something a product should solve.

“How’s things going here in Hollywood?”

Zhou Buqi looked at Kirar.

"It's not good. Many people are scared." Kilar shook his head, very disappointed with these people in Hollywood. "Even Warner and Paramount have contacted me, saying that it is best to restrain and control the negative impact, and not let hackers release too many photos and affect the release of new movies."

Zhou Buqi asked: "Where are the stars?"

Kilar said: "Many people are backing off, and many actors have joint public relations clauses when signing contracts with producers. They cannot have any negative news that affects the film's release. Some even have to pay huge compensation. From what I understand now, many people are transferring money privately and buying peace of mind."

"We have to find a way to make this bigger."

"A charity dinner for women's rights protection has been arranged at the Hilton Hotel tomorrow night."

"Alright! Invite more media to come! Also, spread the word now that we will never compromise with hackers and that we are irreconcilable with all criminals!"
