"Dr. Wang is so happy!"
Boss Jia smiled and added Wang Yi’s contact information and started the harvest plan.
However, in order to increase the success rate, Boss Jia still started by giving a hard speech:
"Dr. Wang, with our LeTV's ecological concept, there is bound to be unlimited potential, and there is hope of becoming the second Apple!"
"Apple's market value has increased from US$16 billion ten years ago to more than US$320 billion now, an increase of 2,000% in ten years. We at LeTV have no problem!"
"After all, our LeTV ecological concept is ahead of Apple's, so we will definitely have unlimited future!"
"And since Mr. Joe passed away this year, Apple will inevitably decline. This is our opportunity for LeTV to rise."
…
Boss Jia tried his best to showcase LeTV’s future, his plans and structure, and wanted to attract Wang Yi to take the initiative to invest in LeTV.
This style of play is familiar to him and easy to use.
Every time he brags in a PPT, the other party will be brainwashed and excited, and then offer to invest in LeTV on a large scale...
But when it came to Wang Yi, it didn't work at all.
Even though Boss Jia kept talking, his throat was dry after talking for a quarter of an hour!
However, Wang Yi just refused to invest and did not mention investment at all.
Even though Boss Jia had given an obvious hint, Wang Yi just pretended to be stupid.
Finally, Boss Jia had no choice but to speak directly:
"Director Wang, our LeTV has a bright future, but we are very short of money at the current development stage. I wonder if you are willing to invest a little or two?"
Finally, the picture is revealed!
Wang Yi burst into laughter, Boss Jia really came to harvest him.
'invest?'
‘Invest in the devil!’
Wang Yi complained in his heart.
Boss Jia's greatest skill is cross-border robbery.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a stock investor or a celebrity, whether you are a rich man or the richest man, I, Lao Jia, will harvest you without distinction!
And in order to increase the success rate, what Lao Jia likes to do most is cross-border harvesting.
There is no way, my colleagues are too smart and can’t cut it!
But harvesting laymen is easy!
A layman has no idea how deep the technology industry is. A PPT session will make the other party intoxicated, and they will spend huge sums of money and invest heavily.
Waiting to raise the stock price, Boss Jia cashed out at a high level and harvested strongly...
For example, real estate giants are his favorite targets.
A group of house builders who want money but don't know how to build a house are perfect candidates for harvest!
After all, these giants only know real estate, so what do they know about the technology industry? Let alone the LeTV ecosystem!
When I heard it, it was the film industry, television, mobile phones, and cars...
First-class high-tech products, much better than any real estate, coupled with a smart home ecosystem, linking real estate, making smart homes...
Therefore, in the previous life, Sunac's old director, a majestic white knight, was deceived by Boss Jia, took over the business forcefully, and was harvested 15 billion...
There is also the old director of Hengchuang, who was still the richest man at that time and did not have a long memory.
Even though the old directors of Sunac were harvested, he still thought he could do it and invested in Boss Jia to build a car. As a result, he was harvested 5 billion in a few months...
In addition to the two real estate tycoons, Boss Jia also likes to harvest celebrities.
They are also rich and famous, but they don’t know how to cross borders and are easily deceived.
Not only did it deceive a large group of celebrities into giving LeTV free platforms, they also harvested all of them!
19 celebrities, some were harvested millions, some were harvested tens of millions...
I really had my traffic and fame stolen, and I also had my money harvested.
All the good talents are gone!
Now let Wang Yi invest? Want to harvest Wang Yi?
Wang Yicai will not be fooled.
As long as his heart is moved, he is not a reborn person!
As for the glory of LeTV in the previous life in 2015, its valuation exceeded 170 billion. If you invest, you can take the opportunity to make a profit...
That was a previous life!
This time, LeTV’s business and Wang Yi’s business are highly overlapped!
Currently, there is a business conflict between LeTV Pictures and Wang Yi’s Xingyi Media.
The future LeTV TV and LeTV mobile phone will conflict with Wang Yi's Xingyi TV and Xingyi mobile phone!
Under the fierce impact of Xingyi Technology, LeTV is afraid that it will be difficult to grow bigger, let alone a market value of 170 billion.
Absolutely unrealistic.
Unless Boss Jia can defeat Wang Yi.
But unfortunately, Boss Jia’s LeTV Super TV only started in 2013.
Wang Yi’s Xingyi smart TV started in 2012.
Boss Jia’s LeTV mobile phone was launched in 2014, and Wang Yi’s Xingyi mobile phone was launched in 2011.
Wang Yi started earlier, developed better, and had more funds than Boss Jia. What does Boss Jia compare to?
After all, Rebus was so shocked by Wang Yi's Xingyi mobile phone that he couldn't sleep at night. He wanted to go to Asan to develop. How could Boss Jia have any chance of becoming bigger?
Not realistic.
Sometimes if you take a step too late, you will lose everything.
What's more, the glory of LeTV in the previous life was only four or five years later...
Wang Yi didn't have the patience to wait for so long.
It’s not cost-effective to invest billions of dollars in it for four to five years.
By then LeTV will be finished, and Wang Yi, as an early investor and partner, will also be scolded by investors and even regarded as an accomplice...
The gain outweighs the loss!
Wang Yi doesn't want to be the one who returns to China next week...
Therefore, in response to Boss Jia's direct statement, Wang Yi sighed and looked embarrassed:
"I'm so sorry, Boss Jia, LeTV's future is very good. But Xingyi Technology started late and is short of money."
"I have only paid half of the 3.5 billion invested in BYD, and the remaining 1.5 billion has to be paid this month."
"Xingyi Technology also needs to develop itself, and we really have no money at the moment!"
Hearing this, Boss Jia sighed, but believed it.
Xingyi Technology has been burning a lot of money recently.
One BYD alone is worth 3.5 billion!
It’s natural that I don’t have money in my account to invest in LeTV.
"I hope Boss Jia won't be surprised." Wang Yixiao said.
"It's okay, no problem, I understand." Boss Jia smiled and nodded.
Business cannot be done without righteousness. Just because you don’t have money now doesn’t mean you won’t have money in the future.
When you have money in the future, let Director Wang invest!
"Director Wang will be rich in the future and has extra funds, but he must remember LeTV! The future of LeTV needs the support of Director Wang!"
"Definitely, definitely!" Wang Yi said with a smile, but in his heart he said: 'I'm just saying this to you, I won't have any extra money in the future.'
‘If you have extra funds, invest them all!’
Only when money is invested can money make money.
Just sitting in the bank and earning interest is not enough to depreciate the value.
Well, the money I earned this year was invested in BYD, Xingyi Mobile Phones, and copyright collection...
All the money you make next year must be invested in chips!
That is a field that eats meat without spitting out bones!
A wafer fab costs 20 billion!
Wang Yidu has a big head, but there is nothing he can do.
If you don’t want to get stuck, you have to invest and do it yourself.
As for the photolithography machine problem, it is best if it can be solved. If it cannot be solved, it is not a big problem.
The DUV lithography machines you can buy, through multiple exposure technology, can fully produce 7nm or even 5nm, which is enough!
Frankly speaking, there is a big difference between 28nm and 14nm and 7nm, but the difference between 7nm and 5nm and 3nm is really limited.
It's far less scary than what the West claims.
Wang Yi used a 3nm processor in his previous life, but he didn't find it too powerful, and the fever was still severe.
The higher the manufacturing process, the more transistors can be accommodated in the same size chip, but the heating and power consumption are also more serious, the cost is higher, and it may not be cost-effective.
To put it bluntly, the performance of 3nm chips is 10% higher than that of 5nm chips, but the cost is several times more expensive. Is it cost-effective?
As for 2nm and 1nm, the improvement is more limited and the cost is higher.
Wang Yidu feels that the previous competition in the direction of chip manufacturing went wrong.
For example, Apple A17 pro, 3nm chip, 19 billion transistors, expensive...
If the 7nm process is used and the chip size is larger, it can accommodate 19 billion transistors, or even 20 billion.
Nowadays, mobile phones are getting bigger and bigger, and the internal space is also getting larger and larger. It is no problem to make the chip larger and improve the performance.
The increased cost of this solution is far lower than the cost of the 3nm process!
This is also the reason why Wang Yi makes chips. DUV lithography machines can achieve 7nm or even 5nm. Even if they are sanctioned in a few years, they will not be afraid.
Of course, photoresist and the like must also be laid out in advance.
As long as Wang Yi's chip factory is established, it will also develop supporting upstream and downstream industries.
After obtaining all the copyrights of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Wang Yi returned to the company with satisfaction.
As for investing in LeTV, let Boss Jia wait slowly.
There are so many better and higher-quality companies that are more reliable than LeTV and are worth investing in. There is no need to mess with LeTV and ruin its brand name.
Business investment is very complicated. Once Wang Yi invested heavily in LeTV and became LeTV's major shareholder, he also became LeTV's "spokesperson".
A few years later, LeTV collapsed and investors lost all their money. So what if Wang Yi made a lot of money?
When Lao Jia went abroad, the investors could not find Lao Jia for this blood debt, so they could only record it on Wang Yi!
The consequences are unimaginable.
It's really not worth it.
When he returned to the company, Yang Yan immediately greeted him with a man:
"Boss, this is Ye Changpeng, the former vice president of Tudou.com. He is mainly responsible for content and is very capable."
"Hello, Director Wang!" Ye Changpeng reached out his hand.
"You want it, President Ye!" Wang Yi smiled and shook hands with the other party.
The vice president of Tudou is still a hard worker, so that’s totally fine.
In 2011, the long video platform was not the era of Aiyouteng Three Kingdoms controlled by BAT, but the era of Hundred Regiments War!
Among the three giants of Aiyute, Youku was established earlier, in 2006.
The other two are new platforms that have just been established!
iQiyi was established in 2010 and has been in development for one year, but it is still very small.
Tencent Video was only established in April 2011. It has been in development for half a year and is just getting started.
This is also one of the reasons why Wang Yi made up his mind to build a video platform. Everyone is just starting out, so the gap is not big.
On the contrary, those old video websites started earlier.
For example, PPS and Tudou were established in 2005.
LeTV and Sohu Video were established in 2004.
But unfortunately, most of those who started early died early or were acquired.
In a previous life, PPS was acquired by Baidu and merged into iQiyi.
Tudou merged with Youku and then was acquired by Alibaba, which later became Youku Video.
But the current Tudou.com still has something to offer.
Wang Yi looked at Ye Changpeng and couldn't help but think of a major event in 2011: "The reason why Mr. Ye left Tudou was because of the listing issue?"
"To be honest, it's true, I can't stand my pig teammates!"
Ye Changpeng did not hide anything and was speechless. Every time he thought of this, he felt a big headache.
Really big head.
Originally, Tudou.com was developing very well. It was established in 2005, and after six years of development, it was going to be listed in the United States. It was supposed to have a bright future.
But who would have expected that during the critical period of listing, the founder’s ex-wife would sue him!
Without him, when the founder of Tudou divorced his ex-wife, he didn’t share much assets with his ex-wife, so he quickly married a new love.
My ex-wife has always remembered this account, but has never mentioned it.
It was not until the critical period when Tudou was listed in the United States that the ex-wife filed a complaint against the founder of Tudou in the Imperial Court, bluntly stating that the property was unevenly distributed during the divorce and requested redistribution.
As a result, the Imperial Court froze all the founder's shares in Tudou and postponed Tudou's listing.
This delay is half a year!
Time is the outlet, and the outlet is the opportunity!
The Internet industry can decide life or death in two months, let alone half a year?
It is conceivable that Tudou.com's original good situation suddenly turned cold.
Yang Yan also knew this and couldn't help but said: "It's just a half-year delay. It doesn't mean that it can't be listed, so it won't fail, right?"
Wang Yi smiled: "Yang Yan, Tudou has to wait half a year, but competitors won't wait half a year!"
Ye Changpeng nodded: "Wang Donghui has a sharp eye. Yes, the half year we have been waiting for has not yet come, but next month, Youku will be listed on Empire! This directly causes us to lose the opportunity to go public!"
There are only a few capital giants who are optimistic about domestic video platforms.
They invested in Youku, which was listed first, and naturally they would not consider Tudou, which went public later and still had various problems.
After all, video platforms these days are all burning money and losing money. There is no hope of profit in the short term, and capital consortia will not invest heavily.
Ye Changpeng sighed: "There is no hope of going public. There is internal turmoil in Tudou. They are competing for power and looking for a way out. They are divided into several factions. Some people want to merge with Sohu, some want to merge with Youku, and some want to join Tencent Video, or even Baidu's iQiyi.
!It’s a complete mess.”
"There is also a massive loss of internal talent. I don't know how long this situation will last, but I don't see hope and I don't like internal fighting. To be honest, I once had the idea of ​​​​resigning, but I couldn't find a replacement for a while.
Good place to go.”
Wang Yi understood the whole process.
Ye Changpeng personally handles business, creates content, and builds Tudou. What he wants is for the success of the IPO, for Tudou to become bigger and stronger, and to make a lot of money.
As a result, Potato Meat failed to be launched on the market and fell into internal power struggles and external mergers.
Whether it is the current working environment or the future corporate development, it is all gloomy!
Ye Changpeng, like others, had the idea of ​​leaving his job and finding another job.
Just when Yang Yan came to dig him up, he followed him to Xingyi Technology Industrial Park.
Regardless of whether it works or not, let’s take a look first.
At least Ye Changpeng thinks that Wang Yi is more reliable than the founder of Tudou.com and is a hard worker!
"That's it!" Wang Yi smiled:
"Isn't this a coincidence? Our Xingyi Media has just been established and is preparing to become bigger and stronger. Not only will there be a streaming media platform Xingyi Video in the future, but also Xingyi Media will invest in many homemade dramas!"
Ye Changpeng is a practical vice president with extraordinary abilities, strong connections, and rich experience. He is exactly the talent Wang Yi needs, and he decisively begins to flex his muscles:
"Just yesterday, we just acquired a film and television company, which we regard as the Dongyang branch of Xingyi Media, called Noon Sunshine. You may not know that this is a film and television company that has just been established for a few months."
"Sunshine at noon? I know!" Ye Changpeng said with joy:
"Dr. Wang, although Noon Sunshine has only been established for three months, Director Kong and Director Li are both powerful directors of Shanying. I know it! With them and Director Wang's investment, Xingyi Media will definitely become bigger in the future.
"
Wang Yi smiled slightly: "That's just the Dongyang branch. There is a bigger god in our imperial capital headquarters!"
"A bigger god! Bigger than Director Kong? He must be a top director at the highest level?" Ye Changpeng was shocked.
In the previous life, ten years later, the salary of top directors rose to 300,000 an episode.
But now, a great director like Director Kong can earn 100,000 episodes.
Those above Director Kong, such as Director Zhang, Director Feng, and Director Zheng, all earn 150,000-200,000 per episode.
For other directors, tens of thousands per episode would be pretty good.
The same goes for actors' remuneration. Currently, the top male and female protagonists only earn RMB 300,000 per episode.
For example, in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", one episode for Zhen Huan is worth 300,000 yuan, and 76 episodes is worth more than 20 million yuan.
But after "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the heroine became extremely popular and became the top among the top, and her salary doubled.
In a short period of time, there were millions of film appointments, but I couldn’t even get them.
Ye Changpeng became interested: "Director Wang, can you tell me the identity of that person?"
Wang Yi smiled slightly: "Xingyi Media just bought the ownership and exclusive online broadcast rights of "The Legend of Zhen Huan"!"
"Director Zheng!" Ye Changpeng said with joy: "Director Wang, you not only hired Director Kong, Director Li, but also Director Zheng! Three great directors at once, amazing, really amazing!"
Wang Yi waved his hand: "This is just the beginning. In the future, we will have more powerful directors, producers, and screenwriters joining Xingyi Media. In addition, we will also sign many powerful artists to create a stable and strong artist team. At the same time,
We will also spend 300 to 500 million to collect film and television copyrights and music copyrights to create our own content ecosystem and copyright library!"
"This..." Ye Changpeng was shocked. He never expected that Wang Yi would be so generous.
It’s simply a dimensionality reduction blow!
At present, iQiyi, Youku, and Tencent Video have not become big, and their scale is limited.
If you want to grow rapidly, the best way is to acquire and integrate.
Like in the previous life, Youku and Tudou, iQiyi and PPS Video, but two-in-one, growing rapidly.
There is also the Tencent Video model, which does not make acquisitions, but directly spends money to buy IP, and buy and buy like crazy.
Buy old dramas, new dramas, even Hollywood dramas!
Wang Yi remembers that Baidu acquired PPS in 2013 and spent about 2 billion yuan.
If we buy PPS now, it is estimated that 1.5 billion will be enough.
If he spends 1.5 billion to acquire PPS, Wang Yi will instantly have a video platform, but PPS does not have many copyrights, and he has to spend money to acquire it, which will cost at least 2 billion.
Moreover, the problems currently existing in PPS are very serious. The various forces inside are intertwined, and the influence of one incident affects the whole body. It is not easy for Wang Yi to reorganize it.
It would be better to use 300 million to directly collect the video copyright, 200 million to collect the music copyright, and then use a few hundred million to create a new Xingyi Video!
You can’t spend a billion like this!
Perhaps the development speed is not as fast as the direct acquisition of PPS, but the starting point is higher, the future is better, and the development is more stable!
Repairing a broken ship is far inferior to rebuilding an aircraft carrier!
After all, if PPS is very powerful, it will not be reduced to being acquired.
After hearing Wang Yi's words, Ye Changpeng was excited!
Wang Yi is so generous, Xingyi Media must have a bright future!
Chance!
What a huge opportunity!
What's more, Director Wang is not only a platform, an application, a media company, a self-produced TV series, but also hardware Xingyi mobile phone!
There are also more than 70 million users of Meiyou APP!
These users are the ones who like to watch dramas the most!
Xingyi Media has a much brighter future than Potato or something like that!
"Director Wang, please give me a chance to join Xingyi Media. You can even just assign me a small manager. I am familiar with the streaming media business and I will never let you down!"
Listening to Ye Changpeng's sincere words, Wang Yi smiled lightly.
Show off your muscles just to win over the Vice President of Tudou!
"How can a small manager be enough? At least he must be the president!" Wang Yi stretched out his hand:
"Welcome President Ye to join Xingyi Media. After you complete the onboarding process, I will report that you will serve as the president of Xingyi Video Division and the vice president of Xingyi Media Group! The salary is 30% higher than what you get on Tudou!"
Xingyi Media is the core of the entire entertainment business and is directly under Xingyi Technology.
There are several business departments under Xingyi Media, such as Dongyang Noon Sunshine Branch, which is responsible for film and television shooting; Xingyi Video Business Department, which creates film and television platforms; Xingyi Artist Management Department, which is responsible for artist signing and operation...
Ye Changpeng beamed with joy: "Thank you, Director Wang, thank you, I will go back and resign right now!"
Compared with Tudou, Xingyi Media has more prospects, more strength, and better treatment. There is no need to hesitate at all.
"Is it convenient to resign?" Wang Yi said meaningfully: "If there are any contract restrictions, just say it and I will arrange for someone to negotiate."
Ye Changpeng waved his hand: "It's okay, Director Wang, the competition for power within Tudou is fierce now. If I quit at this time, they are eager to send me away. Without a competitor, they will not be stuck!"
"Haha, yes. Then I'll wait for your good news." Wang Yi smiled.
When senior executives resign, sometimes they don't want you to leave, and sometimes they want you to leave.
In Ye Changpeng's situation, there would be no need to use a non-competition agreement to block him. Instead, he would rather he leave as soon as possible so that he would have fewer competitors.
Ye Changpeng changed the subject: "Director Wang, I still have some capable subordinates. Look..."
"Take them all, and the salary will be 20% higher than that of Tudou!" Wang Yi was overjoyed: "Xingyi Media has just started, and there is a shortage of all kinds of talents. As long as there is a suitable one, just come over! I believe in your vision!"
"Thank you, Director Wang, for waiting for my news!" Ye Changpeng said with a smile: "Since the failure of Tudou.com, the top management has been obsessed with seizing power. All the core employees working there have been disappointed and are looking for a way out. I still have some prestige and can lead a team.
The professional team is here!”
"Okay, just do it!"
With Ye Changpeng and the working team, plus the copyrights collected, Xingyi Video has taken initial shape.
For others, if there is a shortage of people, just recruit them.
However, video websites and video APPs must also be built!
After seeing Ye Changpeng off, Wang Yi looked at Yang Yan: "How is the development progress of our Xingyi Video APP?"
"Chairman, we have hired some people and are accelerating development. Android is progressing faster, and we have Xingyi Video on our Xingyi mobile phone as the foundation. But IOS, PC, and website have to be developed from scratch!"
"Okay, hire more people and develop it as soon as possible! But don't affect the XUI adaptation work."
"Don't worry, Chairman, these are all done by newly recruited employees, and no XUI adaptation manpower is used."
"Very good, I can rest assured that you will do the work!"
Ye Changpeng was very efficient. He came to Xingyi Media two days later and officially joined Xingyi Media.
And brought more than 50 technical backbones to join Xingyi Media.
More than 20 of them are professional development talents in the field of streaming media. With the participation of these people, the development progress of Xingyi Video APP has been much faster.
After all, Tudou.com is made by them.
Others are talents in content and advertising operations.
"Welcome everyone, with you, Xingyi Media will be even more powerful!" Wang Yixiao said:
"Everyone's salary is 20% higher than that of Tudou. Xingyi Technology has a complete career promotion system. There is no one position and only a dead salary. There is no one who does more and less. On the contrary, as long as everyone
Good performance, promotion and salary increase every year!”
Every time someone joins, Wang Yi has to draw this set of cakes.
As for true or false? Naturally, it’s half true and half false.
It is unrealistic to get promotions and salary increases every year, but if you make a performance promotion, you will get a salary increase. With outstanding performance, there is hope for promotion.
Sure enough, everyone was excited: "Thank you, Chairman, we will do our best!"
At this point, Xingyi Media has officially settled in Xingyi Industrial Park.
There were still some empty office buildings, Wang Yi chose one, and Jian Ziyan had people clean it up, making it the headquarters of Xingyi Media.
Later, Wang Yi, Yang Yan, Ye Changpeng, and three technical experts poached by Tudou.com held a meeting.
Ye Changpeng was the first to speak: "Chairman, you have arranged for someone to collect the copyright, which is no problem. There will also be a self-made drama next year. The key now is to develop the Xingyi Video APP, not just the software, but the entire system. The biggest problem now
, it’s just that there are too many pirated resources.”
Ye Changpeng hit the nail on the head and said the key: "Our solo dramas will all be pirated, which will cause us huge losses. Therefore, we have to develop an encryption format!"
Wang Yi nodded: "You are right, it is similar to Youku's Kux format!"
"Yes! If you download a video in this format, you can only use Youku player to watch it. If you want to use other players to watch it, you have to transcode it, which is very troublesome and increases the cost of piracy."
Ye Changpeng said: "There are only two directions for video platforms to generate income, one is advertising fees, and the other is membership fees. To ensure the income from these two aspects, we also have to develop an encryption format to combat piracy!"
Wang Yi spent hundreds of millions to collect copyrights and hundreds of millions to create Xingyi Video.
Coupled with self-produced dramas and annual expenditures of hundreds of millions or even billions, it is impossible not to pursue profits.
However, advertising profit is only part of it, and it is not enough to cover the cost, so you still have to get online video membership!
For example, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is a huge hit and cannot be seen anywhere else. Xingyi Video broadcasts it exclusively and can add many VIP members.
But if piracy is rampant and Qvod is all about "The Legend of Zhen Huan", then Xingyi Video's VIP income will be very low.
Encryption is imperative.
Another factor that makes copyrights cheap nowadays is that piracy is prevalent and genuine copies are worthless.
When there are fewer pirated copies, the genuine ones will become more valuable.
Wang Yi waved his hand: "The encrypted format is not enough. You can continue to watch it after transcoding. We have to solve the problem from the bottom and develop a new video encoding standard!"
"A new video encoding standard?" Yang Yan and Ye Changpeng were stunned, in disbelief.
Wang Yi nodded: "The popular one now is 264 encoding. I developed a new 265 encoding."
"???"
"!!!"
The people in the room were all turned to stone. They all looked at Wang Yi with shock and doubt!
264 is the current mainstream video encoding standard, but 265 is the next generation. How can it be said that it is developed by research and development?
This kind of standard level thing is too difficult, it’s really not just talk.
In the previous life, 265 was a new code that only appeared in August 2012. It naturally did not exist in 2011, which sounds a bit incredible.
But in the previous life, 265 codes were all public.
People outside the industry may not understand it, but as an industry insider, Wang Yi is very familiar with it.
It's very simple to get it out.
"Boss, is this true? Did 265 really happen?" Ye Changpeng was a little incredulous.
Yang Yan also looked confused. The boss didn't look like a braggart.
Several other technical experts were even more stunned. Although they didn't say anything, they looked unbelieving and made no secret of it.
Wang Yi smiled and opened his notebook: "Look, these two movie files are both in 4K quality and are exactly the same movie."
Wang Yi opened two movies respectively and showed them to everyone.
Everyone nodded: "It's indeed the same."
“The picture quality is one level higher.”
Wang Yi turned off the movie and continued: "Look at their size again."
Ye Changpeng was stunned: "What? The second movie is nearly half the size of the first one! This..."
"Yes, the picture quality is the same, but how come there is more than 40% less space?" Yang Yan was stunned.
Several other people also looked like they had seen a ghost.
This is unreasonable.
The same film source, the same picture quality, the file size is just about the same, but the difference is almost half, that's incredible.
Wang Yi smiled faintly: "The reason is simple. The first movie is encoded in 264. The second one is encoded in 265!"
"The coding unit size of 264 is fixed, which is 16x16 pixels. The coding unit of 265 can be selected from the smallest 8x8 to the largest 64x64 pixels."
"Therefore, under the same image quality, the size of the video encoded by 265 is approximately 39-44% smaller than that of 264!"
"That's it!" Everyone suddenly realized.
Ye Changpeng was even more shocked: "With the same image quality, the storage space is reduced by 39%-44%. Director Wang, you really did 265!"
Yang Yan also had a complicated look on his face: "It's incredible. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be unbelievable."
Several other people also spoke one after another: "Director Wang, does this 265 have any other advantages?"
"Of course. With the same image quality, the 265 file size is smaller, which not only saves storage space, but also saves bandwidth and traffic." Wang Yi said meaningfully:
"For streaming media like our video platform, with the same network speed and the same resources, 265 allows users to use less traffic, buffering, and faster download speeds, so they can watch more smoothly!"
"Yes, this is fatal!" Ye Changpeng said: "On the other hand, for the same 2G video, we can use 265 to achieve a higher level of picture quality than other competitors!"
"That's right, that's it." Wang Yida said:
"With 265, the image quality and smoothness of our videos can surpass those of our competitors. But 265 also has a problem. Without affecting the image quality, 265 has higher compression efficiency, which makes the encoding of 265 more complicated.
, decoding is also more complex. It consumes a lot of power and has high requirements on equipment."
Wang Yi changed the subject: "However, this is more suitable for our Xingyi Video."
"Yes, the new 265 standard has been launched. Other players do not support it. We can only use our Xingyi Video."
Ye Changpeng was excited: "Even if they transcode, they won't have transcoding tools in a short period of time. Even if they do come later, the equipment requirements are high and not everyone can do it. Without transcoding, piracy will be even harder."
"Dr. Wang, 265 has great potential. Have you applied for a patent?" Yang Yan couldn't help but said.
Wang Yi nodded: "I have applied for them all, domestic and foreign patents. And I have also encrypted it. From now on, Xingyi Film and Television will use 265 encoding, focusing on Blu-ray, which is smooth. It will be difficult for them to pirate it!"
"good idea!"
That's right, Wang Yi not only used a new generation of 265 for encoding, but also added another layer of encryption to the format, using the X265 format!
Videos downloaded from Xingyi Video are all in X265 format and can only be played by Xingyi Video.
Even if you transcode into a common format, you will find that it cannot be decoded...
As a result, the threshold for piracy has been greatly raised.
Even if there is no guarantee that it will not be piracy, it can be enough to prevent 95% of people from piracy.
The remaining handful must be punished by law.
In order to protect the copyright of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and combat piracy, Leshi collaborated with hundreds of law firms and launched simultaneous attacks. Once discovered, they launched a large-scale crackdown.
This time, with the 265 encoding, piracy has become more difficult and pirates can be reduced by 95%. The last 5% of criminals will be handed over to Xingyi Technology’s legal affairs.
Professor Mo's team, as the top legal firm in Imperial Capital and also the top legal firm in the country, is enough to let the other party know what Imperial Capital Pizza Hut is!
What Wang Yi has to do is to set standards and reduce dimensionality to attack!
Not only that, the patents of 265 are all basic patents, and Wang Yi has also registered them.
From now on, 265 has become an international standard, and other companies have followed suit and used it, and they all have to pay patent fees to Wang Yi! This alone can make countless money!
Wang Yi looked at Ye Changpeng and others:
"The encryption problem is solved in this way. There is a special development department for application development. Android, IOS, and PC are all doing it. You should focus on it. The copyrights of old dramas have been collected. You can screen the new ones that will be released next year.
TV dramas, new movies, take a look at the ones that are valuable and make a list for me. You have to accept what you should accept."
"yes!"
To build a platform, you have to continuously collect copyrights and burn money. There is no way around it.
Even for Xingyi Video, Wang Yi was prepared to make a loss in the first year and make no profit in the second year.
In their previous lives, iQiyi and Tencent Video were burning money and losing money all the way. They did not achieve profitability until 2022!
Yes, it's that miserable.
Xingyi Video also has to burn money and lose money, but it will not be so serious.
Without him, Wang Yi collected the IP early and at a low price.
The follow-up dramas will mainly be self-produced dramas, and only high-quality ones will be included.
Other platforms have suffered serious losses because they simply collect garbage and collect more.
For example, iQiyi received 20 solo dramas with 1 billion, but 16 of them were released on the street. It didn’t add many paying members. How can it avoid losing money?
But as a reborn person, Wang Yi doesn't need to collect money randomly, he only needs to spend 200 million on the four popular movies.
In this way, not only will you not lose money, but you will make a lot of money!
More importantly, they only have application platforms and no hardware.
But Wang Yi is different. Not only does he have a video platform, but he also has Xingyi mobile phone, Xingyi tablet, and Xingyi TV!
All built-in Xingyi Video APP, a complete set of ecological play methods, completely profitable!
