In addition to Li Feiteng, the godfather of the industry, it is worth mentioning the launch of LETV.

Jia Yueting, the founder of LeTV, has a communications company in Singapore.

This year, after returning to China, the Shanghai president Jia began to prepare for the video portal.

The company has been fully prepared, and there are many shareholders who have joined, but there has always been a lack of technical talents, and the website has not yet been put into operation.

Li Feiteng has already acquired a lot of video portals abroad, he doesn't have to worry about technology at all, the only thing to consider is the huge difference between the network environment at home and abroad, he needs to use the future P2P technology to improve the browsing fluency of the video portal.

To put it simply, there is currently only one video network in China, called Qingmu Video.

However, users who can browse Qingmu videos can only be achieved by tens of thousands of computers and networks in the country.

What he needs to do is to develop an efficient P2P software that uses various technologies to ensure that everyone can see smooth video in a low-speed network environment.

So first of all, in terms of video format, clarity, etc., it takes a lot of effort, at least at this stage, it must be ordinary and clear, in fact, it is a very blurry video, which is equivalent to the low image quality of video chat.

As for the format, it must be based on FLV video, FLV is a new streaming video format, which is the hottest video format in the Web2.0 era, and many web portals FLV.

The FlashPlayer platform, which is widely used on web pages in the industry, integrates video into Flash animations.

In other words, netizens only need to be able to watch Flash animations. Naturally, you can also watch FLV videos. There is no need to install additional video plug-ins. It is with FLV video that there is a video portal.

Since FlashMX2004, the software has provided FLV format support, and many portals have begun to develop some FLV dynamic video ads.

As it stands, there is not a single video portal in the world that is the first in FLV format.

The reason is simple, the version of FLV is too low.

There is also a lack of too many professional tools in the video space. Server construction software.

For Li Feiteng, he has mastered the future of P2P technology and is proficient in compression algorithms, and it is simply too easy for him to personally lead the development of this field.

Before that, though, he had to pick out a group of people from Google and use them to set up a separate company.

In two days, in an office building in Zhongguan Village, a new foreign-funded company called "Tudou Video Technology Co., Ltd." was established. It was established.

Li Feiteng is the founder and personally invested $5 million. Sixteen programmers were poached from Google, and Feiteng headhunters sent a financial officer, a human resources director, a logistics officer, and a number of assistants.

In this way, a company with only 22 people, under his personal leadership, began the construction of the tudou network.

In the company's workshop, Li Feiteng stood in front of his computer, and the programmers gathered around him, listening carefully to his description of the code distribution of software programs in the "format factory".

The first version of the "format factory" he wants to do is definitely for enterprises, and the second is to launch software for individual users.

The significance of the format factory is to convert the MPEG2 or VOB format, AVI format, or MP4 format of DVD at this stage, and some mainstream large-scale text formats into FLV or smaller 3GP through guò software.

In fact, 3GP is an improved format for MP4, 3G streaming mobile phones.

In any case, at present, Li Feiteng first made professional software, so that other departments of the company could be set up and build up the film and television library source.

As for the part of the platform, he is not so anxious, he works slowly and carefully, and this is not something that can be launched in a while.

"Alright, let's get to work!"

After Li Feiteng finished explaining, he also lay in front of the computer and wrote code seriously.

Writing code is much easier for him than writing a novel, the code program memorized in his head is very clear, and the assignment of tasks is reasonable, and the speed of writing is quite fast.

After a week of joint efforts, the first version of the format factory came out.

"BOSS, after testing, our format factory has a transcoding success rate of 60%, and the video resolution and definition are relatively stable, and the problem is not very big. ”

"Okay, I'll open source the software and hand it over to Google's software engineering department to help improve and modify it, and now you have to work with me to build the tudou platform and the server platform management software." ”

The programmers had no objections, and it was a great honor for them to be able to work with the boss.

The construction of the tudou platform was a very long process, so Li Feiteng began to expand the number of employees, let more programmers join it, design web pages, and began to divide the production of different software.

It may seem like a long time, but for a programmer at work, a month passes quickly.

The tudou website, including the server construction of the website, and the platform management software have all been out of the module, and the detailed work no longer needs to be handled by Li Feiteng personally.

At this time, Tudou Video Technology has changed from an investment of $5 million to $50 million.

In terms of shares, Li Feiteng still owns 100% by himself.

However, he didn't want to own so much, because if the company was to operate independently, he would definitely not be the president, and he would not be able to manage and operate.

He needed to find a suitable butler to do the tudou for him.

LeTV, which has been established, Li Feiteng has not taken it seriously, and he does not want to acquire anything.

The first stop in the future in China will definitely be his tudou, and even the first stop in the world will also be tudou.

Google also doesn't need to buy anything YouTube.

In a past life. Google spent $1.65 billion on its acquisition of YouTube. And Li Feiteng is now making his own tudou. This year, he will do domestic first, and at the end of the year, he will do foreign, and there is no doubt that he will be able to save a lot of money.

Moreover, if Tudou can become the first stop in the world, it will also bring him a lot of wealth.

Chen Shijun is one of the founders of YouTube, a Taiwanese person, and he relied on YouTube to make a net worth of $12 billion in 20 months.

Li Feiteng's technique is definitely much better than Chen Shijun. He has a better team and more platform resources, and it is a matter of course to promote Tudou and make money independently and independently.

However, the problem he is facing now is to find a president of business operations, a CEO, to promote the website for him.

After all, Google is Google. Tudou is Tudou, in collaboration with his other companies. It is also necessary to pay a fee, and it is impossible for him to lump all the companies together, and the difference between an independently operated private enterprise and a large foreign-funded enterprise that has become multinational is very huge.

In the office, Li Feiteng held a list of some business operation executives in his company recommended by headhunters.

The list above is all deputies, or the director in charge of the operation department, which belongs to middle and high-level employees.

High-level employees, he didn't want to find a way to operate Tudou, because the cost would be very large, and on the other hand, it was also a very disadvantageous thing for the original company.

Middle-level management employees are the most suitable, and transferring one or two will have no impact at all.

Like a treasure hunt, Li Feiteng drew a list of three or four people on the list and decided to start contacting them to come for an interview.

The first manager, his name is Wang Wei.

If he remembers correctly, this is the founder of Tudou in a previous life.

It's just that his tudou and the tudou of his previous life are two concepts, and the company founded by Li Feiteng, Biquge www.biquge.info are all large foreign-funded enterprises, basically as long as he starts the official release and operation, then the brand value will be increased to one or two times in an instant.

There is no doubt that even if Li Feiteng opens a small website casually and he invests $10,000, the value will immediately increase several times, the reason is that he is the founder, and a little publicity can immediately attract a large number of users to register.

Wang Wei works in Google's investment department, he is a gold collar and previously worked at Hughes.

A gold collar is a person who has a good educational background and has deep experience in an industry.

He used to be a venture capitalist, and now he came to Google to do a venture capital, and he has not changed careers.

Therefore, Li Feiteng's expectations for him are not high.

On this day, Wang Wei came to the tudou company to see BOSS Li, from the time he arrived at the company, he came in to see a very lively work picture, he was very surprised, he really didn't expect that the new company opened by BOSS would be so energetic, everyone seemed to be as excited as if they had taken medicine.

"Mr. Wang, please follow me. ”

"Thank you. ”

In the office, Wang Wei met BOSS Li, and after the two shook hands, Wang Wei sat down and waited quietly for him to speak.

"Director Wang, what do you think of the video portal, if I give you a chance to operate tudou, how will you make this website bigger and stronger?"

Wang Wei had thought a lot before he came, but he didn't expect that BOSS Li was going to recruit the head of a video portal.

He doesn't know much about this field, but as a person who understands business operations and is eager to start a business, he also has some opinions on video portals.

"Online video is a wasteland that has not yet been reclaimed by the Internet, the video portal is a battleground for soldiers in the future, because it will replace the traditional TV, with the development of network information communication, the popularization of computers, this kind of user will be a huge market, for now, only BOSS in the world is leading this industry, so there is no big competitiveness, I want to operate such a company, it is not difficult, the important thing is the technical problem, whether it can achieve a real sense of change people's living habits of film and television entertainment？”

Wang Wei's words made Li Feiteng feel quite amazing, he didn't expect the founder of Tudou to be able to speak such profound words at this time.

It's just that he has to talk to the founder of Youku next, and he is not sure that Director Wang can be more powerful than Manager Gu. (To be continued......)
