legendary trader

Chapter 910 911 Video Site
Chen Fan knew that at the beginning, he asked the Internet company to get in touch with those entertainment companies to buy some music copyrights, but during the transaction process, some companies asked to package and buy some online broadcasting rights of film and television works.

After the news was fed back to Chen Fan at that time, because he saw that the quotation given by the other party was not high, he didn't care about it, and agreed to these transactions directly.

For those entertainment companies, film and television works and music are full of pirated resources on the Internet, and it is not easy to meet someone who is willing to spend money to buy copyrights, so it is natural to be aggressive.

After contacting the negotiators of Chaofan Network Company, they found that the other party was very determined to acquire the right to broadcast online, so they intensified their efforts and proposed to bundle and sell some outdated music and film and television works in their hands.

Because the protection of these copyrights on the Internet is not in place, most of the pirated links are uploaded by users themselves, and it is very difficult to crack down, so most copyright owners have chosen to give up cracking down.

But after Chaofan Network Company came forward to acquire the network broadcasting rights, they naturally wished to sell all the copyrights in their hands as much as possible, at least they could get some money, right? With the current network environment, there is no other way.

"I know this, the price is not expensive anyway, just buy it if you buy it, but what does this have to do with your question about network speed?"

Chen Fan was still puzzled, he didn't understand what Li Yihong meant when he said this.

"This year, the International Organization for Standardization and the International Telecommunication Union jointly proposed the H.264 compression format, which is a new generation of digital video compression format after MPEG4.

Although H.264 only encodes video information and does not contain audio, it can combine a video and an audio into a common video.

Our technicians feel that after the bandwidth of domestic broadband is increased, using MPEG264 technology with H.4 as the core can basically guarantee watching those film and television works through the Internet.

We have conducted some tests, and the effect is very good. Nowadays, when watching videos on the Internet, there are often video freezes, but after using this new technology, the freeze phenomenon has been greatly reduced. "

Li Yihong said immediately.

"Do you want to build a film and television program website besides the music station?"

Chen Fan understood. He said everything so clearly. It seems that there has been a breakthrough in technology. Li Yihong thinks that he can try to put the film and television works he bought before on the Internet.

"Yes, we have this plan, but we are still perfecting the technology."

Li Yihong said hurriedly.

"Should be able to see it now?"

Although Li Yihong seems to be very confident about this plan, Chen Fan still intends to see it for himself.

The current network can actually watch videos, but it seems that it takes half a minute or ten seconds to buffer for a while. He also understands that this is not a problem with the network, because the network bandwidth around him is not small. What is the main encoding technology? The problem, such a problem will appear after transmission through the network.

"Of course, the latest main focus of the technical department downstairs is doing this thing."

Li Yihong said with a smile, "It's just that it's still in testing, and it may have to wait until next year to complete the launch."

"Take me to see."

Chen Fan lost the idea of ​​going home right away, and wanted to go to the technical room downstairs to see their achievements, and watched film and television works through the Internet, which seemed very interesting.

In the office of the technical department, Chen Fan chose a computer at random, opened the web page, and entered the link address in the address bar. Although some film and television works had been stored in the server host, they were not disclosed to the public. After hitting the Enter key, the page To swipe out, you need to enter your account number and password.

Chen Fan entered the video page according to the account number and password provided by the technical developer next to him, and randomly chose a TV series that he had no impression of, and started watching.

This is a work broadcast a few years ago, but the ratings and other results were not very good, so it was packaged and sold by the copyrighted film and television company to Chaofan Network Company.

I just clicked on an episode and watched it for a while, but the ten-minute plot was still stuck two or three times. Although it is not very good, it is indeed much smoother than other online videos.

"Just so-so, so-so."

After watching it for about ten minutes, Chen Fan quit the TV series, and then watched other works in the movie library.

Now there are only three categories on the video page, which are movies, TV series, and MTV. The copyrights of these works are all in the hands of those entertainment companies, because the purchased music copyrights are packaged and sold.

However, Chen Fan browsed through the three categories, and found that the movies and TV series seemed to be old works. In the past two years, there were very few movies and TV series. It can be said that they are all things that few people watch.

"These film and television dramas feel very old. Why didn't we talk about the last two years?"

Chen Fan asked Li Yihong next to him. He was responsible for this matter at the beginning, but the news reported to him only said that the entertainment company had packaged some film and television dramas, and did not say that they were all old movies from a few years ago.

"They are not willing to sell the copyright directly for new films, and only agree to pay an annual fee, and the price is not low."

Li Yihong hurriedly explained, "These new films, they are still making CDs and videotapes for sale, they are worried about selling the copyright to us, so we directly post them on the Internet.

Although online viewing is not technically possible, packaged downloads are still possible. It just takes a little more time to download and watch without lag. Once they download these things, they will naturally not spend money on CDs and videotapes. up. "

"These copyrights are all movies and TV shows that can't be sold? No wonder they are so cheap."

Chen Fan seemed to have realized something, muttered softly, and then a smile appeared on his face, and said to the technical developers around him: "It's not bad, it's much better than the online videos on the Internet now, although there are still occasional freezes, but it feels at least It works."

"We are going to improve it further and strive to launch a video website next year."

Li Yihong also said.

After personally testing this online video last week, he felt that it seemed to be usable, and there was a freeze every few minutes, which could be completely ignored, so he started to make a plan to develop a video website.

After Chen Fan and Li Yihong walked out of the technical department, Chen Fan whispered to Li Yihong: "Since it is technically feasible, then increase the purchase of film and television dramas and try to get as many copyrights as possible."

"Mr. Chen, I also know about this. Now we have developed this online viewing technology, but it is all based on the new video codec standard. Other companies should pay attention to this sooner or later.

But"

Seeing that Li Yihong seemed to be hesitating, Chen Fan asked dissatisfiedly: "Is there any other problem? Earlier I asked about the company's business situation, but you didn't say anything about it. Explain everything clearly. I'm here this time. It is necessary to understand how to deal with problems, including the plans that are being prepared and ready to be implemented, and talk about things when there is something to do."

Seeing Chen Fan's attitude, Li Yihong had no choice but to say: "The main problem is funding.

We are still in a state of loss. Although the game department can make money, it is still a drop in the bucket to support the expenses of the other three departments.

The last time I purchased music copyrights and film and television drama copyrights, they were all funds from dismantling the company.

When we went to discuss copyright with those companies, they directly dug out all the resources in their hands many years ago, all of which were sold in large packages, and we were not allowed to choose at all. "

"I understand this. The good ones are picked up by you, and the rest are thrown into your hands. If I were the boss, I would do the same."

Chen Fan glanced at Li Yihong and waved his hand indifferently.

"Let's talk, we need new and old films, and old films are cheap anyway, so we should expand our inventory.

As for the new films, it's normal for them to be worried, but logically speaking, there should be download links for those new films online, so why wouldn't they sell them? "

Chen Fan and Li Yihong walked forward slowly, talking about copyright acquisition while walking.

"For so many years of works, they have too many copyrights and they can't control them at all. They have focused their anti-piracy attention on new films."

Li Yihong said.

"They still want to fight for it?"

Chen Fan understood in seconds.

"Looking back, we still have to try to buy as many copyrights as possible from those companies, and don't be afraid to spend money."

Chen Fan thought for a while before continuing: "I always feel that it is impossible to release music, movies and TV shows on the Internet casually like this for a long time, and everyone knows that there is no copyright, and doing so is actually illegal.

Don't be afraid to spend money, maybe it won't be long before the current atmosphere on the Internet will change drastically.

And what we have to do is to hoard as many copyrights as possible before that.

I think film and television websites should be able to make a profit. After all, they are similar to games. They are for entertainment. Some people like to play games, while others like movies and TV series. If they are done well, it may be another profit point. "

"The marketing department made the same judgment after conducting market research and analysis."

Li Yihong said, "It's just because the plan hasn't been done yet, so I didn't report it before."

"I see, you are still urging the subordinates to get as many copyrights as possible. It is cheap now. If someone makes a video website that can be watched and wants to buy it, they will probably be slaughtered.

As for the money, report it to the headquarters after signing the contract, and I will greet Mr. Zheng. "

Chen Fan said to Li Yihong.

Now that he has arrived in Shencheng and walked out of his office, Chen Fan naturally wants to walk around the company, at least the four main business departments of the company have to visit.

Accompanied by Li Yihong, Chen Fan visited one by one to learn about the working environment and problems encountered in each department.

After a big circle, the overall feeling is still good. Whether it is the environment or the working atmosphere, all departments are running in an orderly manner, which also shows that Li Yihong's ability to manage the company is good.

It wasn't until after 5 o'clock in the afternoon that Chen Fan went downstairs and left the company with the pile of documents. When the car drove into Binjiang Garden, Chen Fan suddenly remembered the scene when he came here for the first time and saw Father Zheng from afar. home, but this time he didn't plan to go there for a meal, but went back to his home directly.

Building No. 52 of Binjiang Garden is the villa that Chen Fan bought at the beginning. When he walked into the living room, Chen Fan felt a sense of familiarity.

Recalling a little bit, it seems that I lived here for a few days last year, but it has been a long time.

Chen Fan asked Li Wu to send the materials to the study, so he didn't have to worry about dinner. Although there were no long-term residents here, Liu Ying also arranged servants to take care of the daily cleaning and maintenance.

The next day, Chen Fan did not leave Binjiang Garden, and stayed at home except for a trip. After reading the previous project materials, Chen Fan also gradually cleared his mind.

There are a lot of survey data on bitcoin players in the data. Although Chen Fan has not had much contact with these people because he has only contacted Zheng Xiaopang, he has learned some things from Zheng Xiaopang. At this point, I have roughly thought about the operation of the exchange, and now I just wait for tomorrow when I go to Tianhong Building to talk to Zhang Jianjun face to face, and then everyone will consider it and confirm it.

In the afternoon, he had already received the news that the trading system was ready, and the rest was due to the trading rules, which needed some minor adjustments, but this was a matter of setting, not complicated.

At around 8:16 a.m. the next day, Chen Fan went out by car and went straight to Rainbow Building. On the [-]th floor of the building was the office of the Bitcoin Exchange under preparation.

When he was downstairs, Chen Fan met Zhang Jianjun and his party, and Li Yihong also arrived first. They were already standing together, waiting for him.

After Chen Fan got off the car, he exchanged pleasantries with everyone, and entered the company under the leadership of Li Yihong.

But when they were in the elevator, Zhang Jianjun asked Li Yihong to take them to see the situation of the server first.

These devices have been purchased and installed before, and it can be said that the company's main expenditures are here during this period.

Li Yihong took them to the 13th and 15th floors first, where two sets of trading servers were installed, one for daily transactions, and the other for backing up transaction data, which can also be used when the main trading server fails. Temporary takeover to ensure the continuity of transactions.

The computer room is very clean and tidy, not a bit stronger than the computer room where they mine coins.

Here you can see two sets of servers, which are composed of several large servers, which are used for different purposes such as data and matching.

"C++ directly calls the linux system api to achieve."

The technicians on one side stood beside them and explained the programming of these systems, but neither Chen Fan nor Zhang Jianjun actually understood them at all. After listening for a long time, they roughly understood that they were all independent systems compiled by themselves, and no third-party was used. The framework, resource library or something.

In fact, they have researched this system very early. At that time, they were just planning to build a trading platform that was compatible with the game, so the requirements were not high. It was only developed for safety, and did not use ready-made technology from other companies.

After getting the demand from Chen Fan, a large number of technicians were transferred from other departments to improve the original framework, so the product could be produced so quickly.

As for those servers, Chen Fan also felt a little hurt.

In his mind, since he wanted to be an exchange, regardless of whether he was doing bitcoin or anything else, he had to be tall.

In fact, there is no need to use such a high-end server at all. If there are few transactions, an ordinary computer can do it.
