Chapter 1686 Displacement of Time and Space
Obviously, Liu Qing couldn't understand Zhou Buqi's point of view.

Not optimistic about the live broadcast industry?
Simply inexplicable!
Liu Qing said very seriously: "One of the major characteristics of the Internet industry is the displacement in time and space. How well the live broadcasting industry in South Korea is doing, and Japan is also doing well. The domestic Internet infrastructure has been further improved, and the industry has shifted. It's bound to happen."

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "Has there been a discussion?"

Liu Qing nodded, "Well, I have communicated with Yiming, Pengfei and Zi'an, and the live broadcast industry will form a trend in the future. YY's voice live broadcast is so popular now, and the live video live broadcast that will be launched next will definitely be more popular .”

Zhou Buqi asked, "Are they also interested in buying Duowan?"

Liu Qing said: "There is such an intention."

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "This way of thinking is wrong."

"Why?" Liu Qing was very confused, "Niconico has launched a live broadcast service in Japan, which is also very good."

Zhou Buqi said: "You can build a video website in the Japanese market, but you can't do it in the domestic market. It's the same as the live broadcast industry. Why? Because the big environment is different. For purpose. They will only do what is profitable, and there is more commercial integrity.”

Although Japan and South Korea are capitalist societies, the attributes of capital operation are much worse than those in China, which respect the American way.

This is especially true in the Internet industry.

For example, in the live broadcast industry, when a group of relatively good live broadcast websites appeared in South Korea and Japan, the follow-up capital will no longer follow up and invest. Even if it is a big trend, they will not enter the market.

If too much money is invested, it will only cause inflation, drive up prices, and cause competition. No one can make money.

It's different in China. Seeing an outlet, hundreds of investment institutions rushed in together.Even if a super giant like BAT has already occupied the market, the follow-up investment institutions will rush in frantically, and continue to kill bloody winds in the market that is already a red ocean.

Because the domestic market is bigger and the plate is bigger.

As long as the investment is made, it will be hundreds of times or thousands of times in return.

This triggered a series of credit crises.

Because of the enthusiasm for capital, many entrepreneurial teams have impure motives. The purpose of starting a business is not to make the company a success, but to attract financing.

After getting the money, I try to use the entrepreneur's control over the company to squander the money and use it for me.Many people even ran away after getting the money.

For various reasons, many popular industries have suffered huge losses every year.

Such as video sites, such as live broadcast sites.

It can be done in Japan and South Korea, because it can make money and be profitable;

This is not the case in China, the competition is too fierce, and all parties make products with the attitude of "begging" consumers, and they can't wait to spend money to beg users to use their own products.

However, the users who begged on their knees thought that their uncle did not want to spend money, but also wanted the best service.In order to rob users, the major platforms can only continue to please them, resulting in continuous large losses for the entire industry year after year.

Japan and South Korea are different.

On the surface, it seems that their Internet industry is not developed enough, and the products they make are rubbish, not to mention ugly, and the experience is extremely poor.It's 2022, and the design and technical means used by many websites are old antiques from the 90s.

The logic behind it is that users cannot be spoiled.

Love it or not!

Anyway, there are only two or three similar websites in the whole country. If you don’t use it, go to another website, and the other website may do worse.Because everyone is aiming to make money, a business consensus can be formed, and there is a bottom line in competition.

Once the competition is too fierce, there will definitely be broken jars and smashes, and the entire industry will end together.

The most typical example is 360 in the previous life.

Originally, 360 was for searching, so I wanted to install all 360's search plug-ins into the browser.But there were a lot of rogue plug-ins at that time, and a lot of plug-ins were installed in the browser, which became fake.In order to solve this problem, 360 came up with 360 Security Guard to kill all the plug-ins of these competitors in the name of cleaning up rogue plug-ins and rogue software.

Unexpectedly, unintentionally, the security business became a hit!

Qihoo 360 has transformed into a security product and started to cooperate with Kaspersky, but it was jointly suppressed by fellow antivirus software manufacturers.Zhou Hongyi was furious, so he broke the jar, dare to bully me?Depend on!That's good, everyone, don't play!die together!

Find Kaspersky, said it is free of charge.Kaspersky disagreed, and 360 developed its own antivirus software. The free 360 ​​antivirus completely subverted the industry.

Doing this in Korea and Japan would be like a rebellion, and would be resisted and rejected by the entire business community, making it difficult to get along.Sun Zhengyi is very unpopular in the Japanese business world. The big reason is that Sun Zhengyi's layout in China and the United States is too deep. Inspired by the innovative gameplay of Sino-US business, he often has some business operations that harm others and benefit himself.He achieved great industry success, but offended the Japanese business community.

When Tang Binchen first went to Japan to expand the market, he also wanted to promote the free micro-point antivirus to the Japanese market.

After some evaluation, forget it.

The genuine software market in Japan is booming, and consumers are used to paying for software installation. Once the free version is released...there will be too many people offended, and Ziweixing Japan will inevitably be strongly resisted by the industry.

Liu Qing frowned, "Do you think the live video industry is unprofitable?"

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "No, it is profitable, but it must be divided into categories and regions. Just like the Korean market, live video broadcasting has been done for five or six years, and they can make money. There are also some live broadcasting websites abroad. For paid services, the annual fee is 300 US dollars, and the number of members can reach millions, and the membership fee alone can generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, of course it can make money."

"Annual fee?" Liu Qing froze for a moment, and became even more confused, "Annual fee of 300 US dollars? Isn't that too high? Why don't I know?"

Zhou Buqi said: "This shows that your focus is narrow."

"Well." Liu Qing took a deep breath, "Accept the criticism, what website is it? I'll go and investigate. Live video can also be paid? This is not the same as Netflix. It reduces traffic and reduces operating costs, while improving profitability. Great innovation.”

Zhou Buqi scratched his head, "This..."

Liu Qing became more and more confused, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Buqi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "It's a website for adult movies. Many young girls use their spare time to live broadcast on it to earn some pocket money."

Liu Qing was angry and furious, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm talking about business!"

Zhou Buqi said sternly: "What I'm talking about is business. How can you discriminate against the industry? I can tell you that many industry innovations rely on this adult film and television industry. "Avatar" has driven 3D movies, Hong Kong films have to follow suit and make 3D blockbusters. However, the cost of Hong Kong films is too low and the technology is not enough. Classic films like Ten Torture Tortures in the Qing Dynasty and Heart Sutra of the Jade Futuan were made into 90D versions, and that kind of immersive viewing experience may really be able to save the Hong Kong film market that has fallen to the bottom."

Liu Qing rolled her eyes and almost fainted, "You know so much!"

Zhou Buqi said: "Let me tell you the truth, you just have dirty thoughts and tend to think wrong. You know AR technology, right? The biggest application market in the future will be this field. Not to mention anything else, the paid version of live video , Is this innovative attribute strong? Paying means less traffic and less exposure. Some female college students can work part-time through this paid live broadcast to earn some tuition and living expenses. Because it is a paid live broadcast , the audience is very small, which can greatly reduce the exposure risk of part-time female college students."

Liu Qing pondered, it seemed that there was some truth to it.

What I am most afraid of doing such a live video broadcast is being discovered by relatives and friends around me.High-priced paid live broadcasts can solve this problem.

Because the price is higher, more money can be made.

And this aspect of the content is often the most attractive.

Really complement each other!
But even so, Liu Qing still doesn't like this business, "What's the use of this, and it's not allowed in China. Does Ziweixing International want to build a website in this field abroad?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Of course Ziweixing can't do it, but if three people go together, there must be my teacher. Miss Liu, learn humbly, okay? Good people also have shortcomings, and bad people also have advantages. A fool will gain something even if he thinks a lot. In this world In the world, every piece of dust is beautiful, it depends on whether you have a pair of eyes to discover."

Liu Qing couldn't help laughing, "It's about work, don't tease me."

"Who teased you?" Zhou Buqi looked annoyed, "Forget it, you go and make arrangements, call Zhang Yiming, Guo Pengfei, He Yang, Ji Zian, Wang Xiaochuan, Liang Rubo and others over. Let's Hold a meeting, and I will tell you about this business idea. This is actually a layer of window paper, and it will be clear when you pierce it, it is very simple."

"When?"

"Arrange your time, it's fine for a few days, I'm in Shanghai, I can do it anytime."

……

Zhou Buqi chatted with Liu Qing in the office, and then walked around the 6-story office building of Ziweixing International Building.

This is the International Department, which will connect with overseas business, and there are many foreign faces.

Looking around, there are seven or eight big blacks.

Zhou Buqi randomly picked a big boss and talked to him in Chinese. He was very awkward in speaking, but it was much smoother to speak English.He is not from Africa, but from the United States, and he is working on a Chinese-Taiwan module based on the evaluation of Douban reading board, which is sent to Ziweixing International.

It probably means that a movie rating website on the Ziwei Star International side will also launch new functions.You can’t just score movies, it’s too monotonous. You can learn from Douban. In addition to scoring movies, you can also score music and books.

Similar things were done five years ago when Zhou Buqi was building Xiaonei.

It's really time and space displacement.
