The 105th three major plates

Looking at Wei Dongsheng's industrial layout, you may feel that it is very scattered.

In fact, Wei Dongsheng's goal has always been very clear, and the industrial planning map is also very clear.

Wei Dongsheng's first product after whitewashing, the torrent download artifact, the purpose is to quickly become famous and accumulate prestige, which is a transitional product. At the moment, the torrenting artifact project is considered a non-core business, and although it is not profitable in its own right, it can move forward smoothly and provide technical support for other products.

After torrenting the artifact, Wei Dongsheng's industrial layout can be simply divided into three parts.

The first is the online game sector with the goal of collecting money, providing sufficient cash for Wei Dongsheng's industrial layout, covering Spring and Autumn Network, Chunteng Games, Credit Treasure, Spring and Autumn Literature and other businesses.

For now, online games are the foundation of Weidong's industrial layout and the economic engine for moving forward.

At the beginning of the saga of Shanda Network's operation, Ubisoft was solely responsible for sales. When the legend ushered in a boom, Ubisoft was unable and unwilling to follow up on the work in a timely manner, resulting in out-of-stock phenomena in many provinces and cities. Shanda then broke with Ubisoft, and in order to seek a new sales network, it strategically chose the Internet café sales channel, using the Internet café as a sales base for game recharge cards.

The Internet café strategy is a key decision for the rise of Shanda Network.

If there is no breakthrough in the sales channel of the Internet café, the legend is very likely to die in the sales channel.

For freemium online games, you can't expect sales channels like Ubisoft, nor can you hope for Internet café sales channels. Imagine how bad it would be for a RMB player who is willing to invest 100,000 yuan or even 1 million yuan to ask him to recharge 20,000 times of a game recharge card with a 50 yuan denomination. The market for freemium online games requires a new sales model, just like Shanda Network's previous Internet café strategy breakthrough.

The sales model bundled with freemium online games is online top-up.

If you can't recharge online, you won't be able to activate freemium online games in the real sense.

Therefore, Wei Dongsheng decisively launched a third-party payment credit pal, subverting Ubisoft-style channel sales and Internet café sales, and opening up an online recharge sales model in the freemium era. If Shanda Network wins over Internet cafes, Spring and Autumn Network wins over third-party payment credit.

Wei Dongsheng's subsequent acquisition of online literature, his stake in Tencent, and the negotiation with Tencent to persuade it to temporarily access Xinbao are all aimed at expanding the scale of users of Xinbao or other third-party payments, and subtly reducing netizens' resistance and suspicion of online recharge sales models.

At the beginning of the launch of the third-party payment credit treasure of Spring and Autumn Network, many people in and outside the online game industry could not understand the credit treasure and ignored its existence. From June 2003 to June 2004, Spring and Autumn Network expanded from a nobody to the first online game operator in China, and elites from all walks of life gathered to study Spring and Autumn Network. After the tragic death of several freemium games in Handan during the public beta period, researchers summed up their experience and gradually realized that online recharge is the core foundation of the freemium model, and the cheaper the recharge method, the more players can be stimulated to spend.

When negotiating with Tencent, Ma Huateng insisted that Tencent should have its own third-party payment, and the background of the times was that he was vaguely aware of the necessity of developing online recharge.

The Chunteng game in cooperation with Tencent is purely a surprise. Tencent's operation of "Triumph" hit the rocks, sitting on the traffic treasure mountain without knowing it, Wei Dongsheng felt that QQ traffic was idle was a waste, so he speculated and ventured with Tencent Chunteng Games to realize QQ traffic and further expand the online game market.

It is true that this move is suspected of raising tigers, and after Tencent learns to monetize its traffic, the development speed will definitely far exceed the previous staggering. Wei Dongsheng believes that with the same income of 100 million yuan, Wei Dongsheng can make more achievements than Tencent. Moreover, just like the operation of "Dancing Forest Meng Master", Spring and Autumn Software first cut 35% of the sales share, deducting the operating expenses and due profits of Chunteng Games, Tencent's actual profits are far less than those of Spring and Autumn series companies.

Chunteng games also belong to the online game sector.

Wei Dongsheng's industry, the online game sector plays the role of a cash cow, and without the huge cash flow provided by the online game sector, other businesses will definitely be struggling. Fortunately, the development of the online game sector has been very smooth, and "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" has ranked first in the online game profit list of Huaguo, and it can earn more than 100 million yuan in cash every month; "Dancing Forest Cute Master" has QQ traffic monetization support, and the future is also very promising.

The second is the intelligent universe plate with computer intelligent life as the core, covering all Zhiyu series companies.

Computer intelligent life is the unity of hardware and software, and if we want to develop and utilize computer intelligent life, we need to study the software architecture that is more suitable for computer intelligent life, and we need to study the hardware equipment that is more suitable for computer intelligent life.

The development of supercomputers by Wisdom Universe Information Industry Co., Ltd. is the premise for the evolution of cyanobacteria into blue ferns; Wisdom Universe Integrated Circuit Design Co., Ltd. is involved in chip design in order to develop more adaptable or safer CPU and other hardware, so that Wei Dongsheng can better control the intelligent life of the computer.

Zhuwei Company, which invested in Wei's father and Wei's mother, is now just one of the simplest assembly factories. If Wei Ma's business talent is not limited to the catering industry in her previous life, Wei Dongsheng will continue to support Wei Dad and Wei Ma to move forward, and Zhu Wei may be able to advance to a foundry like Hon Hai.

If this is the case, Zhuwei Company should also be included in the wisdom universe plate.

The Cambrian 2004 supercomputer project under the Wisdom Universe Information Industry Company is being reviewed by various departments; The Mp3 audio decoding chip of Wisdom Universe Integrated Circuit Design Co., Ltd. has been taped out and will be mass-produced by the end of July. Zhuwei's assembly and production line is ready to go, and the audio decoding chip can start after mass production; The newly established Wisdom Universe Technology Co., Ltd. is in full swing to prepare an MP3 sales team.

The third piece is the search engine section with Spring and Autumn Take a Look as the core, covering Spring and Autumn Security Browser, navigation website and other products.

In fact, in addition to the three major sectors, there are some basic products that cannot be defined, such as Spring and Autumn Security Butler, Foxmail, etc. Even, the aforementioned torrenting artifact can also be considered as a basic product. Foxmail's positioning is similar to Google's Gmail, but it is responsible for bringing the scattered online game user groups together into a group.

The topic is back to search engines.

Spring and Autumn Security Browser, Navigation Website and other products are to assist Spring and Autumn to take a look at the development of search engines.

Among the three major sectors, the online game sector provides funds, the wisdom universe sector controls the use of computer intelligent life golden fingers, and the search engine sector is the main business that Wei Dongsheng is eager to develop. Unfortunately, the more we desire victory, the more bumpy the road becomes.

Search engines, to put it simply, are very simple; It's complicated, and it's very complicated.

The simplicity of the search engine is so simple that as long as you are willing to invest, any company can launch a search business; The search engine is so complex that industry leader Google can't do it well.

In terms of technical implementation, the simple popular science search engine is divided into three steps: crawling, indexing, and sorting.

To put it figuratively, a search engine is a huge library. The step of grabbing online resources is to buy books to fill the library, buy the right books, buy good books, buy new books, buy books that should be bought, and the more books you have, the more valuable the library will be. The index network is how to manage the library internally, how to store, number, and classify books, so as to find the books you want as quickly as possible. The final step, sorting, is the critical and the hardest.

Sorting can be thought of as librarian service patrons.

Person A goes to the library to borrow a book, says the name of the book and other characteristics, the administrator finds the book in the library, and hands it to Person A at the window. After going through the process, the search engine completes a search behavior. The impression of a netizen on a search engine, typing a keyword in the search box, filtering the list to find the answer, is similar in nature to going to the library to borrow a book.

Therefore, Baidu's head Robin Li's library and information science major during college is actually very compatible with the search engine career.

The problem with search engines is that borrowers often have vague descriptions of the books they want, and search engines are not really humans. Search engines are not living librarians, unable to understand human natural language, unable to accurately identify the nature of keywords, resulting in an instant increase in the difficulty of service to an uncontrollable level.

For example, B wants to borrow a book, but unfortunately forgets his full name, only remembering that the book title has the word "future" and the author's name has the word "spring". The search engine didn't understand what a certain B thought, didn't understand that "future" was limited to part of the title of the book, and didn't understand that the word "spring" was limited to part of the author's name, stupidly analyzing the keyword "future" and the keyword "spring". Through complex engineering analysis, the search engine finds the possible relationship between "future" and "spring", and returns the answer: Haruhara's future.

That's ridiculous.

What I want is that the preferred answer from search engines is the person's name.

Stumble!

I'm here this time, don't keep recommending Japanese romance action movies to me.

This is where the technical difficulties of search engines lie.

The perfect search engine should be like a librarian who understands B's natural language and understands B's real needs.

It is also for this reason that search engines are hailed as the closest field to artificial intelligence.

In other words, only artificial intelligence that understands human natural language can perfectly fulfill the function of a search engine.

Of course, the artificial intelligence here is the artificial intelligence that is universally defined by the earth. The computer intelligent life defined by the shadow enemy country and the artificial intelligence often said by human beings on the earth are two things that are completely unrelated. In the previous analogy, the relatively safe and relatively peaceful evolution history of computer intelligent life is divided into five stages, which are algae, gymnoferns, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms. Plant-based computer intelligent life has evolved at least to the middle and late stages of the naked fern stage in order to meet the concept of artificial intelligence defined by human beings on earth.
