Time to get fair treatment in Europe and the United States, not only to be recognized by the upper classes, but also to be recognized by ordinary people, this is a one-and-two, two-and-one thing. None of them are not important, and which ones are more important.

Assuming that a large number of civilians in the Lighthouse can benefit from Time, then even if Tump or other Lighthouse leaders want to fight against Time one day, there will be people who are willing to demonstrate against the tyranny of the Lighthouse leaders.

This matter is difficult for everyone, Zhou Shi returned to Silicon Valley for several days to discuss this issue, how can time be beneficial to all the lighthouse people or the people of the world. It's a pity that nothing came of it, and everyone vetoed many ideas in a row!

Zhou Shi can only put aside this idea for the time being, let Instagram go public first, and by the way, remove the influence of Facebook and Yahoo in it.

In a few years, Instagram has reached 500 million global users and 300 million daily active users, and Yahoo's Flickr is much worse than it, but Flickr has more Chinese users, and there may be opportunities in the future. Since the opening of advertising last year, Instagram's revenue has exceeded one billion dollars at once, and with the increase in users, the grasp of the relationship between advertising and user experience will be more accurate, and Instagram's advertising revenue will definitely have a huge increase, and the annual revenue of two or three billion dollars is just a basic operation.

According to preliminary estimates, Instagram must be valued at more than $30 billion, and it seems that both Yahoo and Facebook can make a lot of money on it. It's a pity that Flickr doesn't earn as much as Instagram.

Instagram has reached the standard of a large company in terms of traffic and daily active users, and as soon as the news of its preparation for listing came out, it attracted a lot of people to come. Such as BlackRock, Fidelity, Schroders, Vanguard, Franklin Templeton Funds and so on.

For example, the BlackRock fund manages $7 trillion in funds, you read that right, it's $7 trillion, which is not a nonsense like "Currency Wars", but a fact. Strong money means strong strength, no one will deny it!

Since Time wants to ease the relationship with the capital market of the lighthouse country, it is necessary to maintain its independence and dignity, but also to show that it is not yet the main culprit, which is difficult to grasp, and the time required will not be short. So Zhou Shi returned to Yahoo and started his own work.

Yahoo is now thriving, and various businesses are developing steadily, especially the mobile Internet, in the global APP rankings, Yahoo Pass, Yahoo News, Yahoo, Yahoo Mail, Flickr, and Toutiao are all in front, and there are also some Yahoo stocks, Yahoo Weather and other gadgets are also liked by many people. It can be said that Google, Time, Yahoo is the company that provides the most apps and ranks the highest, and it also surpasses Facebook, the social network empire.

Oh yes, there's another small company that has been neglected for a long time, not very profitable, but very important, and that is the Twitch streaming company.

The main content of Twitch live streaming is game live streaming (Douyu), and its network data traffic ranks fourth in the video category in the United States after Netflix, YouTube, and Google, and is more powerful than Hulu supported by Disney and other companies. Of course, there's more to Twitch than that, or rather than that.

For a website with huge traffic, it is necessary to either build its own server data center or consider cloud computing. Now among the websites with huge global traffic, Netflix has taken refuge in Time Cloud, YouTube is in Amazon Cloud, Google has its own server, and Twitch is under Yahoo Cloud. In terms of cloud computing that Microsoft is developing, there is no representative large traffic user.

Compared with video storage sites like Netflix, live video websites are much more technically difficult, and they must maintain safe, stable and efficient operation without strength. With the help of Yahoo Cloud, Twitch live streaming has been running smoothly and properly showing its strength to the world.

In addition, game streaming is not the end of Twitch, and getting more shows involved in live streaming is the key. Twitch has partnered with LiveNation to do live streams of music festivals, as well as some live sports. But there is no scale, no long-term partners. However, with the emergence of self-media, Twitch as a platform can support the development of some video-based self-media. With the passage of time, self-media people have become more and more mature and stronger, and it is not impossible to attach themselves to Twitch and develop their own channel and transform into an online TV station. When the time comes, Twitch will also be able to sell storage space and sell advertising......

Live streaming platforms such as Twitch have a lot of room for imagination, but unfortunately the gap between them and video sites is too small, and they may not be able to beat those powerful big guys. Moreover, the profit model of this industry is immature, whether it is advertising or tipping commission, there is an upper limit, and it is difficult to say how high or low the upper limit is, maybe many live broadcast companies will die on the road to entrepreneurship.

Yahoo Twitch has entered the Chinese market, but the gameplay is not as advanced as theirs, and the amount of tips is controlled, which is not competitive compared to Douyu and others. But overall, it is still the world's No. 1 live broadcast platform. The only pity is that it is worthless, just like a company like Deutsche Bank, it has a lot of value, but it is not worth much, and the current market value is more than 20 billion US dollars, if they are willing to sell, Zhou Shi can throw out three or four billion US dollars in cash in minutes and buy it directly. And then continue to invest tens of billions of dollars, and he can ...... Hehe, forget it, don't think about it, maybe in ten or twenty years, he will have the opportunity to buy a big international bank. But only if the status of traditional banks is reduced, or if it is a big bank with serious problems, otherwise......

It is precisely because of Yelp, Twitch, and Toutiao, which have huge traffic apps, that Yahoo Cloud has been well trained, and its technical strength has been greatly improved, after all, some things can only be summed up after being tested, and Alibaba Cloud has to go through the test of 12306 before it is widely accepted. Technical strength is not blown out, but fought hard battles. That's why some cloud computing companies would rather pay for some important projects.

Looking at the independent development of Twitch, in addition to financial and technical support, Yahoo is responsible for the specific development of the project itself. Zhou Shi often experiences his own products, but in his previous life, he didn't watch live broadcasts much, let alone live broadcasts suitable for Europe and the United States, so he naturally can't put forward any effective suggestions now.

He is most concerned about the stability, fluency and safety of the product, which are the foundation, and it is easier for people to trust when the foundation is solid. Fortunately, as soon as Zhou Shi entered Yahoo, he was very concerned about Yahoo's Internet infrastructure construction because of the privacy leak incident in his memory. His style has deeply influenced Yahoo, and now of course there will be no problem!

It is also because of Zhou Shi's emphasis on infrastructure construction, and the development of cloud computing on this basis is also expected by Yahoo Program Ape. Isn't it just the evolution of Yahoo's infrastructure to the infrastructure of the Internet industry?

If you don't count office365 in cloud computing revenue, Microsoft cloud computing is far inferior to Yahoo Cloud!
