How should video websites make profits? Original video sites (YouTube) and sharing video sites (Tudou, Youku) mainly make profits from advertising, but this model cannot maintain the operation of the website. Because first of all, your advertising expenses cannot be more expensive than TV, because the reach of TV is much larger than that of the Internet, so you must seek new and innovative business models.

The first is the "paid + free" model: that is, a certain fee is charged to watch users, which is what Ku6 and LETV do. The fee-based model contributes more than half of the total revenue. Of course, it is very profitable to go public, venture capital companies will be forced to go public, and almost every website in the Internet industry takes listing as a sign of success.

The excessively high copyright fee will inevitably become a major bottleneck restricting the development of online video enterprises, so in order to get rid of the excessively high copyright fee, it is necessary to make self-made and make online dramas.

For the profitability of video websites, Fang Xuedong said that it is basically in place, although there are some deficiencies, but it is still the era of barren videos, therefore, his vision can be said to be ahead of his time, and Chen Shi recognized him.

He secretly recognized it in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to continue the investigation, and he asked Fang Xuedong again: "In addition to video websites, what are you going to do in the future?

After Fang Xuedong heard this, his head instantly became bigger, he felt that his knowledge was a little insufficient, and he also felt that Chen Shi's heart was too big, but he was just as ambitious about the Internet as him, and both of them seemed to have the same opinion about the Internet.

He sorted out his thoughts a little, and then said: "Engage in instant messaging, now there is only one instant messaging on the market, if you dare to invest, dare to take risks, then you can develop instant messaging software, even the portal can also be engaged, every industry on the Internet is very rich, it depends on your ability, the Internet at this time is a Warring States era, who is ruthless enough, strong enough, who can seize the opportunity quickly, but seize the opportunity may not be able to laugh last." ”

Chen Shi was interested and asked, "How can I have the last laugh?"

Fang Xuedong said: "It's very simple, whoever has more money can have the last laugh, because most of the current Internet is still in the loss stage, and there are still very few people who really make a profit, so if you want to laugh at the end, you must have enough money, and the Internet is a money-burning industry." ”

The Internet is definitely a money-burning industry, if there is not enough financial support in the early stage, it will definitely go bankrupt, therefore, many Internet companies will embark on the road of financing, although this is not the only reason for Internet companies to embark on the road of financing, but it is definitely a very important reason.

If Chen Shi wants to enter the Internet, he must be prepared to lose money for a long time, how strong is his mental ability to bear? How much can he afford to lose money? These are all unknowns, if Ma Huateng sold QQ at the beginning, then there would be no Tencent later.

No, suddenly Chen Shi thought of a period, it is said that when QQ was almost sold, it was only because no one wanted it, so Ma Huateng bit and persevered, and then there was a later network super company Tencent, at this time, if Chen Shi bought QQ, wouldn't it be a fortune? He now has this strength, even if he can't buy it, then there is hope for shares, and now invest a little money, even if he can't become a major shareholder, it is a very worthwhile investment.

It's better to pick up ready-made ones yourself, where is QQ, if he wants to compete with QQ, he may not be able to do it over the old horse, this is not a simple character, in the Internet world, there are two people surnamed Ma who are very good, two surnamed Ma, Chen Shi can't afford to provoke one, even if he has the memory of later generations, the Internet is forward-looking, but, after all, he is not engaged in the Internet, he doesn't understand these half-understood knowledge, he doesn't understand at all, let him command the Internet company, he will definitely lose a mess, maybe he uses the memory of later generations, think of a brilliant idea, but don't wait for his product to go online, it will definitely be noticed by the other party, then people and you are on the same starting line, so that with his Internet knowledge, he can't do others.

It is very simple to pick up ready-made, now many Internet companies lack financial support, if he invests at this time, there will be unexpected results, whether it is Baidu or Alibaba, or Tencent, these three giants he wants to invest.

After listening to Fang Xuedong's endless words, Chen Shi had an idea, he said: "You are a talent, and I admit that what you said is good, but I can't agree with the matter of half of the shares you proposed, and I can't agree with the management, you can only be responsible for technical problems, and you can take charge of the management for the time being, but if you don't do a good job, I will find someone to replace you." ”

Chen Shi had no other temptation, and directly said what he meant, and then said: "I can give forty percent of the shares of your team, as for how to distribute it is your business, but I don't want to have a conflict because of the distribution of shares, and I don't want to disband the whole team because of this, this is my bottom line, if you can agree, we will continue to talk, if you can't agree, you should know each other and make friends." ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Shi looked at Fang Xuedong, and from his face, he seemed to be a little anxious, a little unhappy, and a little reluctant.

"I ...... Think about it. Fang Xuedong said.

Chen Shi said that he was not in a hurry, he thought slowly, and he could even give him an answer in a few days. Tao Zi listened to it for a long time, some understood, some didn't understand, and then he asked Chen Shidao: "Is the Internet really so good?"

Chen Shi smiled and nodded, Tao Zi doesn't know, how many domestic billionaires will be in the Internet industry in the future, and even the richest man is, let alone know that in the future, the Internet company Alibaba will become a super giant, and the founder of Ali, Mr. Ma, will become an entrepreneurial idol, and his popularity is not inferior to that of any star.

Chen Shi and Tao Zi briefly talked about the prospects of the Internet, and then said to Tao Zi: "You help me find a way to find a few people, see if there is a chance to meet them, if you know the best, it doesn't matter if you can't know, you can ask them if they want to invest? If so, no matter how much money, no matter how many shares, you can help me to accept it, and notify me when the time comes." ”

Tao Zi asked, "Which ones?"

Chen Shidao: "Baidu's boss, Ali's boss, Tencent's boss, if you know the best, you don't know them can also know their executives, anyway, if you have the opportunity, you can get acquainted with them first, and then ask them if they need to invest." ”

Tao Zi wrote it down, and although he hadn't heard of these people, these companies still knew.

Fang Xuedong thought for a while, and then asked Chen Shidao: "Boss Chen, how much are you going to contribute?" This is the question he is most worried about, he is afraid that the money will not be enough, and he is also afraid that Chen Shi is not ready to burn money.

Chen Shi said: "It's not online, I'll give you a million first, and then you pull up the team and start writing code, and when you get the URL out, let me experience it first, and then go online." ”

Fang Xuedong was slightly excited, this was something he didn't expect, Chen Shi's investment was not online, and it was one million in advance, so that he had confidence and confidence in his heart.

He said, "So I'll take it." ”

Chen Shi smiled and raised his glass: "Happy cooperation." ”

They clinked glasses again, and they drank all the red wine glasses in the glasses, and then they talked about some details, and this talk, time passed unconsciously, and they actually talked for five or six hours, and everyone sat with a sore back, and they couldn't sit still before they thought of leaving.

"The development of the Internet has gone through three stages: research network, operation network and business network. To this day, no one in the world has been able to know the exact size of the Internet. The Internet is advancing at an astonishing speed that people didn't expect at the beginning, and today's Internet has gradually changed the way people work and live in every way. People can keep up with the latest weather information, news and travel information from the Internet at any time, see the newspapers and magazines of the day, and enjoy telemedicine and distance education at home without leaving home.

The significance of the Internet is not in its size, but in the fact that it provides a new global information infrastructure. Today's world is moving toward the era of knowledge economy, and the information industry has developed into a new pillar industry of the world's developed countries, a new source of power for promoting the rapid development of the world economy, and has widely penetrated into all fields, especially in recent years, the development of the international Internet and its applications has fundamentally changed people's ideological concepts and production and lifestyle, promoted the development of all walks of life, and has become one of the important symbols of the era of knowledge economy. The Internet has formed the prototype of the global information superhighway and the blueprint for the future information society. Throughout the history of the Internet, it can be seen that the development trend of the Internet is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1) Industrialization of operations, the rapid rise of enterprises with Internet operation as the industry, starting from May 1995, the American Science Foundation (NSF), which has funded Internet research and development for many years, withdrew from the Internet and transferred the management rights of NFSnet to the three largest private telecommunications companies in the United States (namely Sprint, MCI and ANS), which was a major turning point in the history of Internet development.

2) Application commercialization, With the opening of the Internet to commercial applications, it has become a very good electronic business medium. Many companies and enterprises use it not only as an important means of marketing and customer support, but also as a cheap alternative to fax, courier and other means of communication, so as to form a way to keep in touch with global customers and reduce daily operating costs. This is exemplified by the growing importance of e-mail, IP telephony, web fax, VPNs, and e-commerce.

3) Internet globalization, although the Internet has a history of more than 30 years of development, but in the early days it was mainly limited to scientific research institutions, government agencies and its allies in the United States. Now it is different, as various countries have put forward information superhighway plans suitable for their own national conditions, a worldwide information superhighway construction boom has been rapidly formed, and all countries are accessing the Internet at the fastest speed.

4) Internet broadband, with the improvement of network foundation, the adoption of new technologies in user access, the diversification of access methods and the improvement of operators' service capabilities, the bottleneck problem caused by the slow access network rate will be further improved, the Internet speed will be faster, the bandwidth bottleneck constraint will be eliminated, and the interconnection will inevitably be broadband, so as to promote more applications to be realized on the Internet, and can meet the network needs of users in various aspects.

5) With the development of information technology, the Internet will become a comprehensive multimedia business platform for images, voice and data, and cross-integrate with e-commerce, e-government, e-public service, e-medical and e-learning. In 10 to 20 years, the Internet will surpass the influence of newspapers, radio and television, and gradually form the "fourth media".

To sum up, with the strengthening of the trend of telecommunications, television and computer "triple play", the future of the Internet will be a real multi-network integration, multi-service integrated platform and intelligent platform, the future Internet is the network world of mobile + IP + broadcast multimedia, which can integrate all the current communication services, and can promote the rapid development of new services, bringing a revolution to the entire information technology industry. (From Douban, Author: Jimmy Lee)

This is the general trend of the Internet, when Chen Shi was reborn, it was already the world of mobile Internet, it can be said that human beings have entered the primary stage of intelligence, however, it is still the initial stage of the Internet, and there are still more than ten years to go, therefore, Chen Shi's opportunity is still very great, even if he does it from scratch, he may succeed, but he is very lazy and likes to pick up cheap, therefore, seeing the future Internet giants, of course he has to invest.

Also, he will also develop popular software in the future, but now he is lonely and incapable, otherwise he will have to develop a lot of companies.

At this time, he was already exhausted and did not have so much energy to manage, so every time he added an investment, every time he added a company, he had to spend a little energy, so he felt powerless.

But he is also a person who dares to let go, as long as he feels that his subordinates have the ability, he will not care, now, although he has a lot of companies, regardless of what really worries him, he just grasps a general direction, and has never managed it specifically, therefore, he has a lot of time.

It seems very contradictory, on the one hand, he feels powerless and exhausted, and on the other hand, he has a lot of time, which is the reason why he doesn't want to leave his family, he doesn't want to devote all his time to work, and he doesn't want to be away from home all day because of work matters.
