Chapter 55: Video
To say that this kind of review video is similar to TV shopping, on traditional TV stations, it costs money to get on it, and the effect is not necessarily very good.
However, with the development of the Internet, the network bandwidth has gradually improved, and video websites have begun to appear on the Internet.
Although a large number of traditional American users still like to watch TV on TV, listen to music on a record player, and play videos on a VCR.
However, a large part of the younger generation of children has begun to get used to the entertainment method with a computer as the core.
Why is this so?
The answer is simple, convenience.
If you want to watch TV, you can watch videos on your computer, if you want to listen to music, you can listen to it on your computer, and if you want to play games, you can play it on your computer.
Although the price of a high-end computer may be much more expensive than other devices individually.
However, if you combine these functions, the computer is a very cost-effective existence.
And this big cake that has not yet been eaten by traditional giants is like a virgin land, attracting countless giants to intervene.
However, the vast majority of attempts by traditional giants to get involved in this field have failed.
Because although personal computers have many functions, in the final analysis, the only entrance to the Internet is the browser and the search engine.
And browsers and search engines, with Google's strong technical strength, have eliminated most of their competitors.
The only ones who still have the strength to resist are Wanhu's browsers and search engines, as well as Microsoft, which has the advantage of its own factory.
However, Microsoft also has Microsoft problems.
For a variety of reasons, Microsoft is now more international.
However, its international direction is very strange. Its new hires include a large number of Indian employees.
These Indian employees, when they were hiring, listened to their description of themselves as if they were superhuman.
Even if the expectations are not so high, only one or half of the description, one out of five, it can already prove that the employees at Microsoft are all waste.
However, these excellent Indian employees are involved in almost every project, which project will go wrong.
Strangely, however, these Indians are not very reliable in their work, but they are quickly promoted.
As a result, the wind direction of the entire Microsoft has begun to become subtle.
The competition in browsers and search engines has also lagged behind because of the participation of Indian leaders and employees.
And the remaining Wanhu and Google are two companies on the same side.
Although everyone is on the surface, in fact, everyone's holding staff is a group of people.
The only difference, though, is that Google is going public recently.
And Google, in addition to browsers and search engines, needs to tell stories.
Google's story is that they want to build an open-source mobile operating system, and they also say that they have been chasing the latest technology.
It's just that Takahashi knows that almost nine out of ten of the projects they carry out are purely money-losing projects that will not return to their original capital.
As for why so many items were carried out at the time of the investigation, I felt that it was more delicate. Or is it because Google needs storytelling.
Investors in the high-tech industry know that the so-called technological progress is not a smooth process.
Once you have a whole new set of theories to back it up, everything starts to explode.
And for these new theories, one can only count on luck. Cast a wide net and see if you can come across one.
Although Google makes a lot of money with the help of search engine advertising services.
But this is not enough, far from it.
If you want to become one of the world's top 50 companies, you can't do it by advertising rent alone, and you need to give investors a hope.
Of course, these explorations may lose money, but they are still useful.
For example, the technology of transmitting video over the network was tried out by a certain project.
In the past, it was not impossible to do network transmission, but the requirements for the network were too high.
The new transmission technology is to cut the entire video into countless small segments, and then perform lossy compression at high magnification.
Although a large part of the picture quality and sound will be sacrificed, it can be popularized on a large scale.
Moreover, today's television and videotapes are not necessarily very clear.
So, the video site was launched.
And that mobile phone review video, a mobile phone review video like a TV shopping ad, is played on a video website.
Since most of the users who use the Internet to watch videos are mainly young people, and young people always like some new gadgets.
Therefore, the number of followers of this broadcaster is really quite a lot.
After conducting relevant statistics, it will also be found that the products he evaluates will definitely have a sales increase in the future for a period of time.
Therefore, for this broadcaster, many equipment manufacturers provide free products for him to review, and of course, there will be some sponsorship in addition to this.
However, among the many commodities, the only one that is quite different is the second generation of Wanhu mobile phones.
Because, this mobile phone does not need to be promoted by the broadcaster, and it is already in short supply.
The original price was only $399, and in the hands of those who bought and sold, the price was even as high as $1,000.
But even for a thousand dollars, there are still many people who buy it.
For these crazy people, many people can't understand it.
Even Takahashi doesn't have a deep understanding of these people, because Takahashi himself has never entered such a fanatical state.
In this way, it has become the popularity of the second generation of mobile phones in turn for this broadcaster.
For the device of Wanhu mobile phone, he is indeed epoch-making.
Even, many people believe that this platform will one day replace the personal computer platform.
Of course, those people are just too optimistic.
For Takahashi, he knows very well that when there is no breakthrough in batteries, mobile devices will never completely replace personal computers, of course, partial replacement is still possible.
Other hardware equipment manufacturers, although they are jealous of the second-generation rush of 10,000 mobile phones, but there is no good way. Nintendo, which has been led by Satoshi Iwata and has been in love with Wanhe for many years, has also been discovered. They are getting farther and farther away from Wanhu.
It's not even a level of vendor anymore.
Speaking of which, this is a bit disappointing to the people of Nintendo.
However, Satoshi Iwata is still hopeful.
He has hope, not because he can't see the gap, but because he understands that there is a specialization in the art industry, and Nintendo still has the strength to fight when it comes to making games.
Even, the hardware upgrade driven by 10,000 households is also good for Nintendo.
