Yu Dong has worked with Jimmy for so many years and naturally knows Jimmy very well.
Jimmy must have heard Tim O'Reilly talk about this service and was very interested in it. The reason why he brought O'Reilly over to mention this to Yu Dong was, on the one hand, to seek his consent, and on the other hand, he wanted to ask for his consent.
On the one hand, I also want to see his opinion.
Yu Dong understands Jimmy, but cannot understand O'Reilly.
As a reborn person, Yu Dong understands how promising cloud services are. So since O'Reilly could realize this so early, why didn't he do it himself instead of telling Jimmy directly?
In fact, the reason why Yu Dong is confused is because he still doesn't know enough about the Internet and doesn't understand what cloud services represent.
Cloud computing is great, but it's not necessary for most network providers.
The development of this thing requires basic conditions, and it is time-consuming and money-consuming. The average company simply does not have the internal motivation to do this.
But Deep Sky is different. If nothing else, for Amazon, which is controlled by Deep Sky, cloud computing is a very important thing that can even get stuck.
E-commerce is a highly seasonal business, and website traffic usually surges during certain periods, such as the famous Black Friday shopping festival.
On days like Black Friday, website traffic surges, much more than usual, so the server needs to be able to flexibly expand to prevent crashes during surges and to prevent normal waste.
In addition, e-commerce platforms involve a large number of product SKUs, and various product information and historical transaction information must be stored somewhere, so a large amount of storage space is required.
Also, e-commerce is a trading platform that deals with money, so the structure must be stable, and there are many third-party sellers, so the scalability and compatibility of the platform are also very important.
These demands are not mandatory for Yahoo and Google. Only Amazon must pay attention to them.
O'Reilly is very smart. He knows that even others can understand that this kind of third-party access service has great potential in the future, but they will not put too much thought into it. Only Amazon has to solve the above problems.
Cloud services are the best solution to those problems.
As for what O'Reilly was after, he was just thinking that if it was of little use to others, but of great use to Deep Space Company, it would be able to gain cooperation from Deep Space Company.
O'Reilly Media's main business is the e-book business, which is highly compatible with Deep Space Company's business.
It can even be said that O'Reilly Media's business is wrapped up in Deep Space Company.
The reason why I say this is because Deep Space Company controls the front-end and back-end of e-books.
The so-called front-end of e-books is the work itself. There must be books first, and then there are e-books. Deep Space Company now has a large number of well-known authors and the copyrights of their books, and O'Reilly wants to acquire these books.
If you have any idea, you must deal with the Deep Space Company.
The books under Deep Space really make O'Reilly greedy. Not to mention other authors, just the three authors YU, JK Rowling and George Martin. The sales of their three books have reached a very impressive level.
.
If the e-book copyrights of these three people were available, O'Reilly would have won half of the best-seller list.
Not to mention, Deep Space also has writers such as Mark Levy, Yu Hua, Bi Feiyu, Mogliano, and Clezio.
Let’s talk about the back-end. After the book is made into an e-book, the next step is not how to let readers see it, but how to let readers buy it.
Amazon is now the largest book sales website, and they stand directly between O'Reilly Media and readers.
Let me ask, under such circumstances, how could O'Reilly not think of ways to make friends with the Deep Space Company?
Of course, Yu Dong didn't understand these things.
All he knew was that what O'Reilly proposed had great potential.
Glancing at Jimmy, Yu Dong said with a smile, "In that case, let's discuss it later and see if it can be started."
Although Yu Dong knows that cloud services are very good, there are still questions about how to get this thing done and which company to get it done.
Jimmy nodded. He understood what Yu Dong meant. After all, this was the company's commercial secret, so it would not be appropriate to talk about it publicly.
O'Reilly also changed the topic very tactfully, and chatted with Yu Dong and others about the two games released by Deep Space Company this year, "Lianliankan" and "Xiaoxiaole".
"My fifteen-year-old nephew is an avid fan of deep space games. When I heard about this from her mother, I was very surprised. Because before that, my impression of deep space mainly stayed in novels, movies and
On Amazon, I didn’t expect your game to have reached this level.”
Jimmy smiled and said: "We just happened to make a few popular games."
O'Reilly, who was grabbing cards, turned to look at Jimmy and said with a smile: "Jimmy, have you stayed with your Chinese friends for too long, so you have learned their humility? Make a popular product."
It may be luck, but making several games in a row must be a sign of strength. I also play "Xiao Xiao Le" and "Lian Lian Kan". They are indeed suitable for people of all ages. You can play a game when you have nothing to do.
, it can kill time and puzzle. I used to click on Minesweeper when I had nothing to do, but now it has become "Xiaoxiaole" or "Lianliankan"."
O'Reilly's words were meant as a compliment, but they also serve to illustrate how popular these two games are now.
"Xiao Xiao Le" has occupied the first place in the PC game sales list for a long time, followed closely by "Lian Lian Kan".
Some game reviewers wrote articles describing the spread of these two games, saying that they were like viruses that quickly entered thousands of households.
Anyone who plays computer games, whether they like these two games or not, will try to open them on their computer, because they are so easy to get, and it doesn’t cost any money to open them individually.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In O'Reilly's view, the reason why "Xiaxiaole" and "Lianliankan" are so popular is not only because the games are fun, but also because
Thanks to Deep Space's strategy.
Deep Space adopts a play-before-you-buy model, allowing players to play the game first, and then consider whether to buy it if they find it fun.
And even if they don't buy it, Deep Space Company doesn't directly prevent players from playing the game, but provides a paid download version with more gameplay to attract players to pay.
In the past few months, the two games have been launched on more platforms, and sales have gradually increased. Today, "Xiaxiaole" has sold nearly three million units.
The reason for such high sales is that the trial version has been downloaded more than nine million times.
On average, out of three people trying it out, one person ultimately chooses to pay.
This is Deep Space's strategy, and in O'Reilly's view, this is also the strategy that every network company should use in the future network era.
…
O'Reilly stayed at Little Bear Bookstore until lunch and left, and Jimmy left with him.
Becoming three people again, Bi Feiyu was very disappointed, because three people couldn't make it together. Compared with three people playing Landlord, he still preferred to beat eggs.
It was not until half past two in the afternoon that Gong Youli and his daughter came to the bookstore.
Also coming with them was director Rob Reiner.
A year later, Gong Su'er has grown up a bit, but her appearance has not changed much.
The reason why the movie "Heartbeat" has not been completed for so long is because the problem of casting has not been resolved.
Rob Reiner has said before that if Gong Su'er is cast as the younger heroine, the casting range for the older heroine will be smaller.
Gong Su'er is a mixed-race child, with black hair and brown eyes. The overall feeling is oriental. There are very few such mixed-race children, let alone finding another one who looks similar to Gong Su'er.
Rob Reiner searched for more than half a year, but still couldn't find a suitable candidate. He even felt that he had exhausted all the mixed-race people in the world.
There was a time in the middle when Rob Reiner decided to give up.
It's not that he gave up filming "Heartbeat", but that he gave up looking for an older female lead. He wanted to shoot with the same person.
Now let Gong Suer finish filming the heroine's role as a child. After Gong Suer grows up in a few years, let Gong Suer play an older heroine.
This method can certainly ensure that the actors look harmonious, but there are many problems. Who knows what will happen in a few years?
However, Huangtian paid off and finally let Rob Reiner find a girl who was very similar to Gong Su'er. She was also a Chinese-American mixed race. Her Chinese name was Xu Qiulu. She was originally going to come today, but because there was something going on at school,
So we didn’t come together.
Yu Dong chatted with Gong Su'er for a while, and Rob Reiner came up with a smile and said to Yu Dong, "YU, Cher is in good condition recently, and there will definitely be no problem with the filming. Although she doesn't have many scenes, I
It will definitely be a good shoot.”
Rob Reiner came over and said meaningless nonsense, but Yu Dong knew what Rob Reiner really wanted to say.
Last year at Amazon Bookstore in Chicago, when Yu Dong saw Gong Su'er for the first time, he decided to cast her to play the heroine in "Heartbeat" when she was a child. However, at that time, Rob Reiner thought that if Gong Su'er played the heroine as a child,
It will make it difficult to choose the heroine later.
In order for Rob Reiner to cast Gong Su'er to play the role, Yu Dong made a promise to Rob Reiner that if Rob Reiner cast Gong Su'er to play the heroine as a child, he would write "Pumping Heart" into a novel.
Now, what Rob Reiner wants is that Yu Dong can write the novel as soon as possible, preferably before the movie is released, so that there is no need to worry about the movie's box office.
Yu Dong smiled and said: "Liner, don't worry, the novel "Pumping Heart" will definitely be written before the end of this year."
Rob Reiner smiled sheepishly, "I actually didn't want to mention this... Of course, it's best if you have a plan. I think your readers will definitely be looking forward to seeing you."
New books. If they knew that in addition to "The Da Vinci Code", there would be a new book to read this year, they would be extremely happy."
Hearing this, Yu Dong smiled secretly. "Pumping Heart" will be written this year, but there probably won't be enough time to publish it, so it will definitely be pushed to next year.
But this year he will definitely have more than one book to meet with everyone. If nothing else happens, his book "Li Tide" will definitely be able to meet the readers.
No matter how smooth it goes, "Snowman" should be able to meet everyone.
When Rob Reiner heard Yu Dong's affirmative reply that he would write the novel "Pumping Heart" this year, he was naturally satisfied and didn't ask any more questions.
When the last three people were about to leave, Gong Youli suddenly quietly came to Yu Dong's side and asked in a low voice, "Teacher Yu Dong, I wonder if there are any other roles arranged for Su Er in Deep Space after this movie?
"
Yu Dong looked at Gong Youli strangely, not knowing why he suddenly asked.
Is it because they are afraid that Deep Space Company will continue to assign roles to Gong Suer and delay Gong Suer's studies?
Probably not.
Although Gong Su'er's parents signed an agency contract with Shen Kong Company on her behalf, the contract stipulated relatively few obligations for both parties, and Shen Space Company had no right to force Gong Su'er to act.
In this case, Gong Youli probably said this because he wanted to win Gong Suer's next role.
Yu Dong sighed secretly, people will always change. When he first heard that Gong Su'er was being asked to act last year, Gong Youli's performance was very simple. He neither thought about whether his daughter would become a big star nor how much money she would make.
.
Only a year later, Gong Youli began to think about these things.
Yu Dong smiled and asked: "Polite, the company considers that Su'er is young and her studies are more important, so she will not be assigned other roles for the time being."
Gong Youli nodded with some disappointment, "I understand."
Seeing his reaction, Yu Dong frowned and reminded, "Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans. After "Heartbeat" is broadcast, many companies will definitely find you and give you promises."
There are many tempting conditions, but I hope you can think more about Su Er's future and don't agree easily. Let Su Er star in "Heartbeat", I hope this will give her one more choice in life, instead of directly
It blocked her other roads, you should understand what I mean."
Gong Youli didn't expect Yu Dong to say this suddenly, and was stunned when he heard it. After a long while, he nodded calmly, "Teacher Yu, I understand."
The reason why Yu Dong said this was because he had seen too many cases of injuries to Zhongyong.
Some people say that you should become famous as early as possible, but you should not become famous too early. Gong Suer is only seven or eight years old, and she still has a long way to go in life. If she is allowed to join the film and television industry too early, it will not be a good thing for her.
Yu Dong told Gong Youli that parents have far-reaching plans for their beloved son, and Shenkong Company also has far-reaching plans for its artists.
Otherwise, Shen Kong could just bring Gong Suer out and make quick money in two years.
