Chapter 854: The Big Bang of the Video Business
"Shameless. ”
"This girl just wants to trap us for money. ”
Days hated it in his heart.
He naturally knew what Chen Yu was going to do.
If you don't put the video business on the friend network, you just don't want them to get benefits from this capital.
In the future, if the video business is started, they will have to pay for it.
Thinking about it this way, they hope that Chen Yu's video business is over.
In this way, they will not be cheated by Chen Yu.
But although they think so, on the other hand, they have some expectations in their hearts.
Anyway, although Chen Yu is very cranky, this guy is a genius.
If the video business is really started by him, maybe it will become a world-class friend network.
"Damn, that's a contradiction. ”
Days was extremely entangled.
It's maddening to think that they want their video business to start and then that their video business is over.
In the end, I simply stopped thinking about it.
On the other hand, Google, which acquired Youtobe, is finally relieved.
Although the cost is a bit high, it is still worth it.
Youtobe's potential is worth the premium they buy.
At the same time, after Google acquired Youtobe, he also decided to focus on it.
The original Youtobe, although it is developing well, is only developing on their own.
But with Google at its back, that would give you a huge traffic advantage.
You know, don't look at Google as just a search engine, but more than 99% of the world's websites, 30% of which traffic is driven by search engines. Youtobe has been very good before, but if Google weights the search for youtobe, the answer is undoubtedly accurate...... His traffic will skyrocket in an instant.
In fact, Google proves it.
After they increased the weight of Youtobe's search, Youtobe's average daily access IP increased from 6 million to 10 million in an instant. The average number of videos viewed per day has also increased from 100 million to 180 million. The average daily upload of 65,000 videos has grown to 100,000. At the same time, the entire market share, Youtobe once again left MSN video network behind, and occupy 6% of the entire market share.
Finally, Google also integrated their Google Video business into Youtobe.
Yes.
Google engaged in video sites long before youtobe.
But it's a pity that they did a very average job and were surpassed by the later Youtobe all at once.
It is precisely because they have done video websites that they know the difficulties of making video websites.
In the end, that's why they're interested in Youtobe.
If you add the market share of Google Video.
In other words, Youtobe has occupied nearly 7% of the entire market.
It could almost be said that, by accident, Google dominated the global video business.
But Google's move isn't over.
After Youtobe took nearly 70% of the market, Google began to announce financing for the new Youtobe.
As soon as the news was released, it quickly attracted a number of top capital from around the world.
The offer given to Youtobe by various capitals jumped from the original $4 billion purchase price of Google to $7 billion.
And in the end, Google reached a financing cooperation with ten capitals, and the final valuation was $7.3 billion.
This kind of operation simply stunned Chen Yu.
He meowed.
He also thought he had cheated Google.
Unexpectedly, Google was even more desperate than him, and after they operated with their backhand once or twice, they directly doubled their valuation.
With such a means of making money, Chen Yu felt ashamed.
Sure enough, it is worthy of being a global search giant.
Being able to penetrate the search market in dozens of countries around the world is much more than just their search technology.
This also makes Chen Yu pay more attention to Google.
Of course, the $7.3 billion valuation is also overpriced.
With the current volume of Youtobe, it is unlikely that he will reach $7.3 billion for the time being.
But the Internet has never been evaluated in the same way as the brick-and-mortar manufacturing industry.
Since the birth of the Internet, there has been a series of bubbles.
And before 2000, his bubble simply didn't know how many layers were stacked.
But if the bubble doesn't burst, it can stay there and even inflate again.
In addition, the valuation of $7.3 billion is high but not unreasonable.
Youtobe occupies 7% of the market share, and Google is a search artifact.
Even if he does have a premium, his future valuation is much more than $7.3 billion.
Therefore, after youtobe's valuation was speculated to $7.3 billion, a series of IT companies around the world have set their sights on video.
Yahoo, the world's No. 1 portal, has launched its latest video service.
Microsoft said it will invest more in video.
The U.S. online portal also said that they will launch a video service in the near future.
Domestic aspect.
Tudou quickly received its first tranche of financing, which will greatly promote the development of its video business in China.
In addition, Youku Video and Kuliu Network were also born a year ahead of the historical track.
Sina quickly followed suit and launched the Sina video service.
It can be said that the entire global Internet, because of Youtobe's huge valuation, exploded across the board for a while.
This is normal.
According to business logic, if a certain commodity is suddenly sold at a high price, it will inevitably drive the development of the entire industry.
ICQ sold for $120 million that year, which also led to the development of the global instant messaging industry.
In fact, the huge financing of Friends.com has also brought the entire community website into the spotlight.
It's just a pity that at that time, a number of capital Internet giants also entered the field of social networking sites.
But social networking sites are not so easy to do.
Friends quickly locked in the user layer through personal connections, and some other companies were very trapped to enter.
But compared to the social network of friends, there is no doubt that video sites are easier to do.
After all, his stickiness is definitely not as strong as that of social networking sites.
If they enhance the video content, they can also make the video business.
Even if it is not as good as Youtobe, it can also gain a certain market share.
In addition, some of these people who have entered the video business are themselves portals, and they also have the resources to support the video business. Like Yahoo, they not only have a web portal, but also a search engine, which is very strong for the development of the video business, in this case, Yahoo's entry into the video business is also favored by a lot of capital.
In addition, MSN's increased video service is also worth looking forward to.
MSN itself is a globally popular instant messaging software, and although it has been in some decline now, its market share is still there. At the same time, backed by Microsoft, the strength should not be underestimated.
Of course, while these giant Internet companies entered, Huanyu Technology was not idle.
A two-person team composed of Li Xuelin and Wang Xiaochuan had already been sent to the United States. With Wang Chang's help, soon, Huanyu Video Business was successfully established in North America. Moreover, they also launched their Huanyu Video Network for the first time.
However, there is a slight deviation from the previous strategy.
Chen Yu didn't expect that the video business would suddenly become popular after Google entered.
This also made the preliminary work of Huanyu Video Network not go particularly smoothly.
For example, the foot-digging video Internet celebrity.
Previously, Li Xuelin prepared a sum of money to dig up a series of Internet celebrities from Youtobe. But suddenly, the video business exploded, not only on the side of Huanyu Technology, but also on a series of video website companies such as Yahoo, Microsoft, AOL, etc. In the end, Li Xuelin only dug up about a dozen Internet celebrities, which was far from what he had expected.
However, although the start failed, the short video business launched in 15 seconds has achieved good results. Although it has not yet exploded into any influence, as long as the traffic goes up, the short video business will become the most dazzling existence in the video field.
