"Haha!"

After listening to Kevin Turner's report, even Don couldn't stop laughing.

On November 1, Passcard officially launched a monthly membership system, modeled after the Netflix model, members can enjoy three convenient services - no expiration date, no late fees, and no express postage.

The monthly membership fee is only $15.95.

Peskind is a listed company, responsible to shareholders, knowing that the past late fee policy, is very resistant to the market, and does not dare to ban it easily, this is thigh meat, can not be easily cut.

However, with the split of BestCard and Viacom, Besta has encountered an unprecedented existential crisis, and the pressure of huge debts indicates that if Besta does not work, it will only be a dead end.

John Antioco broke through the kettle and established an online disc rental platform Total_Access in a vain attempt to defeat Netflix with Pepsi's strong position in the disc rental industry.

As a result, there was a big joke.

Passcard's status and strength in the industry are indeed not comparable to Netflix.

Three days after the launch of the Total_Access platform, almost all netizens in the United States have logged on to this website to determine the emergence of low-cost monthly subscriptions.

And then...... Total_Access platform crashed four times in a row.

In the shortest case, the repair took 26 minutes, and in the longest case, the page crashed for more than 7 hours.

It's a big joke.

Passcard was only split from Viacom in September, and launched an online rental platform in November, in just two months, according to normal Internet habits, even the time for internal testing was not enough.

Rush online, no wonder if there is no problem!

Kevin Turner saw that Donn was in a good mood, so he said playfully: "When our stunt department starts, it is estimated that within 3-4 months, this online platform of Pestella will not want to stop...... He's still too tender!"

In the past few days, the collapse of the Total_Access platform is all Pepsi's own problem, the traffic is too high, and the server crashes.

This problem is not difficult to solve.

However, the rise of Internet companies is definitely no less original sin than traditional enterprises!

Piracy, infringement, copycats, imitations, these are all secondary.

Black eats black, it is the deepest water.

In this era, computer technology was not yet popular, and the status of programmers was supreme, far from being comparable to the later "code farmers". In this process, programmers with excellent coding skills are not only responsible for the company's products, but also responsible for safety.

That's right, in this era, hackers are all over the world!

Mark Zuckerberg was able to hack into the Harvard campus network, this is still a trivial matter, there have been hackers who have hacked into the Pentagon for a long time!

But the result?

Not only is he not guilty, but he was also hired by the U.S. military with a high salary, which is called "enhancing the security index of the firewall".

How ironic?

This is true of the Department of Defense, and even more so of Internet companies. Underneath every powerful Internet company is a mysterious special technology department.

To put it bluntly, it's a bunch of hackers.

Competition in all walks of life is never lacking in blood!

Netflix, as a mature enough Internet company, is a hundred times stronger than Pepsi in terms of network operation!

Even if Passida solves the minor problem of server crash, in the next few months, Netflix's "Stunt Department" attacks, can they withstand it?

Every once in a while, it is enough to make Pepsi crazy about it.

At this time, Internet regulation was far less stringent than in later generations.

Tang En waved his hand and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter to us how far they collapse. As long as our product is good enough and has a better user experience, that's enough. ”

Kevin Turner smiled: "On the 20th of this month, Netflix will be able to implement a price reduction." When the time comes, Pepsi will be able to wait for death. We have better algorithms, we have sufficient statistics, what do they have? Their staff can only do painstaking field surveys, adjust the Tibetan disks according to the population data, and they can't even distinguish the types. ”

Tang En said: "Pepsi is about to die, and the cheap version of the user monthly subscription system they have launched is to quench their thirst! As long as we also reduce the price, there will only be more and more users of Pepsi who will defect!"

Kevin Turner said: "There is no shortage of new concepts in Silicon Valley, and in 1995, there were people who wanted to start a streaming business, but the problem was that the development of technology could not keep up with the creation of inspiration. The premise for a new concept to make money must be that the technology is in place, and Netflix has only started to make a profit in the last year or two. Peskind wants to eat a fat man as soon as he opens his mouth, which is really too much. ”

Tang En smiled, and his voice was uplifting and sonorous: "That's right, in the next three years, it will be a big scene of Tengu eating the moon!

Even if Passcard has 10,000 stores, more than 60,000 employees, and has been the world's industry leader for 20 years, so what?

In the era of the Internet, it is a call for emerging enterprises to traditional forces!

Moreover, behind Netflix, there is Donne!

……

The popularity of "The Walking Dead" is still popular in the United States.

In media reports, even Marvel's masterpiece "Ant-Man" is not as sensational as this American drama.

With the second episode airing, the heat is even higher!

In the second episode, the male protagonist Rick's wife Lori and his best brother Sean had a "lightning love", and then in the zombie-ridden forest, sparks burst out and a vigorous "big war" came.

The boldness of Starz TV shows the clouds and rain of Wushan wandering on the edge of life and death on a great scale.

The zombies around are constantly wandering, and it seems that they can rush over at any time to bring the pair of men and women who steal food in the taboo to justice.

Sean, a friend, is really righteous enough.

When Rick's life and death were uncertain, he had already climbed on top of his friend's wife, doing his best to comfort him...... Ironic!

As the plot unfolds, "The Walking Dead" gradually presents more of the theme of this TV series to the audience.

In the cataclysm, the dark side of human nature will be exposed to the greatest extent.

Humanity is struggling to survive in the midst of mourning and zombies, bringing destruction and harm not only to the walking dead, but also to the fighting between the living......

The profound torture of human nature, the unabashedly large-scale scenes, and the beautifully crafted picture shots have become the biggest attraction of "The Walking Dead".

Even at the end of Blizzard's press conference, Don accepted a question about The Walking Dead.

That's right, it's Blizzard's press conference!

"Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne", released on July 1, has sold more than 2 million units in North America!

2 million sets, doesn't sound like much?

The official price of each set of games is $68.8!

In other words, within 4 months of the game's launch, Blizzard has already earned more than $100 million!

This is more than offset the huge investment that Blizzard has invested in R&D over the past few years!

For example...... World of Warcraft!

At this press conference, Blizzard officially revealed the development plan of "World of Warcraft" to the outside world.

It is expected that in March next year, the internal test can begin. In November, it will be officially released in North America.

You know, the download speed is still very slow in this era.

If you want to play a large-scale game like "World of Warcraft", it is basically impossible to download it on the Internet, so you can only buy a disc and install it. Undoubtedly, this is another huge amount of income.

Anyone who cares can see it.

Don't look at the STA TV network, because of the broadcast of "The Walking Dead", the fame shocked the whole United States.

But when it comes to potential, maybe ten STAs are not as good as one Blizzard.

The scale of Starz TV is too large, which dooms this TV station to only survive in a small area.

But Blizzard is different.

Games are the common language of the world! And the adhesion to users is much better than that of TV dramas!

Tang En's ability to personally attend Blizzard's press conference and stand up for Blizzard is enough to show that he attaches great importance to Blizzard.

"This is Blizzard's press conference, and it stands to reason that I don't need to answer questions about The Walking Dead. But now that I've brought it up, I can say a few more words. ”

Wearing a light blue suit and black-rimmed glasses, Donn stood out among a group of Blizzard executives on stage.

"The Walking Dead is an excellent TV series, and I know that more TV viewers are watching NBC's Friends during this time period. However, those who have seen it know that "The Walking Dead", like "Friends", is a classic not to be missed. I can tell you the good news, filming for the second season of The Walking Dead has begun. ”

"However, I hope that everyone will not focus all their attention on The Walking Dead, and Starz TV will release more and better quality TV series in the future. Next year, there will be another big-budget American drama with a big investment, which is a TV series based on the game background of "Warcraft". ”

"This TV series will be supervised by Peter Jackson, the director of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and he will bring the original production team of "The Lord of the Rings" to the post-production of "Warcraft", and strive to present perfect visual effects. "World of Warcraft" will be officially released in the United States in November next year, and the same TV series will also be grandly broadcast on Starz TV, everyone will wait and see. ”

Donn's answer was watertight, and he quickly returned to the theme of the conference.

The shrewd reporter quickly asked again: "May I ask Mr. Walker, will "World of Warcraft" refuse to cooperate with Pepsi like "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne"?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several Blizzard executives on the stage sank.

Tang En didn't care, and said with a smile: "That's a good question." Games are different from video discs, each set of genuine games has an exclusive CDkey, and game rental will break the rules of the industry, which is unfair to developers. Players can go to Walmart, or Carrefour to buy it. ”

"That is...... You're not going to work with Pestella, are you?"

"Yes!"

Don thought for a moment and replied.

There is still a possibility of reconciliation between him and Lei Shidong, but between Netflix and Pepsi, there can only be one!

At this time, there is no need to be soft!(https:)
