Chapter 457 Wanbao Video's Listing Plan (for Subscription)
Pili Pili Barrage video website was established in 09, and Wanbao Video was established in 11.

Due to its earlier establishment and better community atmosphere, even though Wanbao Video has been catching up in the past two years, its user base is still an order of magnitude behind.

Why is the playback volume of the other party lower?
Work quality problem?

The probability of this is very low, almost impossible.You must know that Pili Pili and Wanbao Video are "competitors". How can the quality of works that can be promoted by them be poor?

After all, this is fighting!

The two websites are competing for users. At this critical juncture, the quality of the animation works promoted by the websites is definitely among the best in the same period.

Gu Miao also watched the first episode of the anime called "Reincarnated Prince, This Country Is All Girls Except Me".

It feels okay.

It can't be said to be better than "The Beginning Elf, I Was Confessed by the Elf Patriarch", but the two should be at the same level, and the gap cannot be opened.

Then there is a problem with the playback volume.

After excluding various external factors, Gu Miao got the answer from the technical department.

The algorithm is different!

That's right!The calculation method of video views on Perak Perak is different from that on Wanbao Video.

To be more precise, the Wanbao video website is not rigorous enough.As long as the user clicks on the video, whether he watched it for 1 second or 1 hour, it is counted as one playback.

This creates a great deal of moisture.

On the other hand, competitors are more concerned about a "completion rate" data.In other words, the calculation of the playback volume requires the user to "watch the video" or "watch more than half of it".

"That's good, you can learn it."

After Gu Miao learned the truth of the matter, she immediately asked the technical team to upgrade Wanbao Video's existing playback volume algorithm to remove excess water and make the data more intuitive and reliable.

The technical team is also very good.

After receiving Mr. Gu's instructions, he quickly came up with a new playback volume algorithm.And according to this algorithm, recalculated and counted the playback volume of the animation "Start of the Beginning Spirit".

The results showed that 768.2 million!
"Huh! Scared me to death..."

Lao Zhang said frightenedly at the side: "I thought that if the moisture was removed, our playback volume would have to be cut in half, and only about half was left! I didn't expect that after updating the algorithm, there would be more than 700 million."

"This gap is acceptable."

Gu Miao was also very satisfied. Judging from the amount of views, the gap between Wanbao Video and Pili Pili, as the site's main animation, has become smaller and smaller.

It can even be said that the number of users of the two is almost at the same level.

This is definitely good news.

You know, there are only so many fan users who like Two-dimensional animation works on the whole network.If Wanbao Video wants to develop, it must eat the share of its friends.

Now, Wanbao Video has accumulated so many users from scratch, relying on the many explosive and phenomenal animation works of Wanbao Animation, and the contribution of friends and businessmen is definitely not low.

"But Mr. Gu..."

Although Lao Zhang is also very optimistic about the future prospects of Wanbao Video, he said very painfully: "We have lost too much to build this kind of website!"

It has been two years since Wanbao Video was established.

During these two years, almost every year, every quarter and every month, they were all in a state of net loss.And the amount of losses is increasing year by year.

Previously, Gu Miao kept diluting her own shares and introduced several strategic investors.

The idea is good.

Including Mr. Tan, Mr. Xiong and others, the hospitality was hard to bear, and they also made a symbolic investment in Wanbao Video and became shareholders.

However, with the increase in the amount of losses on the website, there is no hope of profit for a long time, and the listing is nowhere in sight. These shareholders have the idea of ​​​​"divestment".

"This kid surnamed Gu, don't look honest, but he has a bad stomach..."

Old Xiong is always cursing. As a shareholder, he said mercilessly at the last board meeting: "The big guy trusts you, so he invests in your company, but you lose money every month, every year, when will you lose money?" ?”

"Give me back the money, I won't play anymore..."

"Whether you want money or not, you need to die! Boss Xiong has been in the industry for so many years, has he not heard a word?" Gu Miao laughed and said, "Investment is risky, so you need to be cautious when entering the industry!"

"What's more, we are losing money, and others are losing money too! Of these companies that run video websites, which one isn't losing money to accumulate users?"

Worried that Wanbao Video has been losing money year after year, and the amount is getting higher year by year, which will make this group of people wronged... The investors are scared away, so Gu Miao will make a fool of themselves for them.

"Three years! Up to three more years of loss, when we secure the top spot in the domestic two-dimensional video site, we will go to the market and let you recover."

To be honest, Gu Miao also felt distressed.

His money did not come from strong winds. He lost money every month and year after year, and he could not see the endless investment of hope at all. After a long time, he also became flustered.

the most important is……

As for the video website, it is very, very difficult to make a profit to be honest.Didn’t Bilibili in the previous life only make money by playing around with “mobile games” and “membership purchases”?

Even so, I still can't make ends meet, losing money every year and the stock price drops so much that my mother doesn't recognize it.

In contrast, Wanbao Video is better.

Although it is also losing money, the loss is still within an acceptable range because most of the websites are "self-made animations" and they did not spend too much money to buy copyrights.

"Don't worry, Zhang!"

Patting Lao Zhang's shoulder lightly, Gu Miao said firmly, "Don't worry about the shareholders, I've already done ideological work for them."

"As for the loss, anyway, we can afford it, so let's lose. Everyone is losing, and it depends on who can have the last laugh."

"This is also..."

Lao Zhang nodded, as if he had thought of something, and said with embarrassment: "By the way, Mr. Gu, I almost forgot to mention it. There seems to be an animation investment company established on the side of Perak Perak."

They also engage in self-made animation?

It's amazing!

I have heard before that Pili Pili seems to intend to develop in animation production.Gu Miao had always regarded this as a rumor before, but she never thought that they would come to the truth.

Now, Wanbao Video is backed by Wanbao Animation and Beep Comics, and Penguin Video is backed by Plum Blossom Animation, Penguin Novels, and Penguin Comics.

Pili Pili also established an animation investment department, determined to make a big splash in the field of animation production...

Almost more than half of the domestic video sites have personally finished and participated in animation production.

The competition is getting fiercer!

Although for Wanbao, these video sites cross-industry to engage in animation, most likely will not have any impact.

But Gu Miao was still looking forward to it.

These video websites, the capital of the Internet, and stepping into the field of animation production, what kind of changes will they bring to the Chinese manga industry?

It should be very lively!
