Top of the big era

Streaming media is the general trend of the industry. Now that we have encountered it, we must seize it.

This trip to Sweden really made a lot of money.

Back at the hotel in the evening, Zhou Buqi contacted China to ask Xu Liangjie and Nie Caijun to prepare again and come to Sweden to sign a financing agreement with Spotify.

Mom, Dad, Aunt Xue, Ning Yaxian and the others are still traveling in the Netherlands, and Xue Baoshan is the only one around Zhou Buqi.

She had already taken a bath, her hair was wet, she was wearing a white cotton bathrobe, but she couldn't cover her slim figure, her rosy white skin seemed to be broken by blows.

Seeing her coming, Zhou Buqi ended the call with Xu Liangjie, smiled and waved, "Sister Bao is a big girl, she is sexy."

Xue Baoshan blushed slightly, and gave him an angry look, "What are you talking about?"

Zhou Buqi patted her thigh, let her sit over, and said triumphantly: "It was originally, sister Bao has grown up, and she has become more and more feminine."

Xue Baoshan was very surprised, "What are you proud of?"

"Of course I'm proud of it. You are mine. I broke your body for you and changed from a girl to a woman... Just kidding, just kidding, don't be angry." Zhou Buqi was a little confused again, holding her tightly Hold her in your arms and don't let her escape.

Xue Baoshan bit her red lips and said seriously: "Student Zhou, you have grown up too, don't act like a child. You are a man, the head of the family, and a successful person. You should mature."

Being taught a lesson by her again, Zhou Buqi was very helpless, Sister Bao was good at everything, but a bit rigid. This is obviously a flirt between lovers, but it becomes a hooligan in her case.

Xue Baoshan sat on his lap, snuggled into his arms, and said softly: "I always hear you talking about streaming media, streaming media, what exactly is streaming media?"

"As an Internet professional, I can explain it to you technically."

"Playing tricks again."

Xue Baoshan glanced at her, somewhat resentful.

technology?

Classmate Zhou, do you understand technology?

Zhou Buqi said convincingly: "You are a layman and you don't know. For people in our circle, this is common sense."

"Oh, what do you say?"

"Streaming media...is...for example, watching movies online. Through streaming media technology, data packets are pushed like flowing water, so that users don't have to wait until all the movie content is downloaded before watching. Instead, they can watch movies while downloading. Watch online. .”

"Isn't this a new technology? It appeared very early."

"Well, there was ten years ago."

Xue Baoshan asked curiously: "Then why did it seem to suddenly become popular recently?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Technology is improving. At the beginning, it was downloaded and watched. After watching a movie, the movie is actually downloaded to the hard disk of the computer. Well... now many players still use this kind of As for technology, such as fast broadcast, watch small... movies here, don’t wait for the download to finish, just click to watch. But after watching, the movie will be stored on the hard disk.”

Xue Baoshan blushed and gave him a blank look.

"Huh? Why are you blushing?"

"No, it's a little hot for you to hold me."

"real?"

"Um."

Zhou Buqi laughed, "I thought you knew something."

Xue Baoshan was embarrassed, and said seriously: "You are not allowed to look at those bad things, it will hurt your health."

Zhou Buqi firmly supported, "Well, don't watch!"

The law stipulates that it is not allowed to watch.

Boss Zhou can't break the law.

But it's okay to play, it's not prohibited by law.

Playing and singing every night has become his habit, and if he doesn't sing at night, he can't sleep.

Xue Baoshan whispered: "Isn't it stored in the cache?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Yes, caching, this is another technological advancement. Watching videos online, the result is that the videos you watch are stored in the hard disk, and the hard disk will be full after a long time. So the next technological development is caching. When watching online videos, instead of downloading the video to the hard disk, it is downloaded to the cache. The cache will be cleared regularly so that it will not burden the computer. Domestic websites such as Youku and Tudou used to use this technology. "

"before?"

"Yes, our Ziweixing Engineering Institute has developed a more advanced streaming media technology, which has been authorized to Youku, and then promoted in China. Last time I went back to China and read the report, the business has been accounted for more than half a month. 28 million, and it is expected to earn at least 45 million. Alas, it is still selling technology to make money.”

"What technology is so profitable?"

Xue Baoshan's beautiful eyes widened, curious.

Zhou Buqi said: "There are a lot of video sites, including those that are indecent, and they all need this technology. Probably... Well, in fact, our engineering institute mainly develops streaming media technology for smartphones, and it can also be applied to on the computer."

Then, explain the logic in it in detail.

Watching videos online is actually a video website constantly sending data, and the user's computer is constantly receiving data. The process of receiving data is called downloading.

After the data download is completed, the decoding is completed, and it is played in the form of an image through a specific environment, which is a video.

The traditional cache streaming technology is to download all the video content into the cache.

Regularly clearing the cache will not cause too much operating burden on the computer.

But the question is, what about the phone?

The mobile phone is so small and the cache capacity is not so large, it is impossible to load a complete video at all. It will lead to watching, the phone suddenly freezes, or the website crashes, or even forced to restart.

This requires a new streaming media technology applied in the mobile Internet era.

Smartphones are the big trend in the future. Zhoubuqi ordered at the beginning of the year to develop Internet application technologies for mobile phones.

This includes the field of watching online videos through mobile phones.

The specific implementation process is actually very simple to say, that is, delete while downloading. Regardless of whether the length of the video is 10 minutes or 100 minutes, the terminal only caches 3-5 minutes.

In other words, if a 100-minute movie, users watch it from the beginning. When watching the 30th minute, the previous content has been deleted, and only the content of the next few minutes is stored in the cache.

Watch while downloading. I watched it, delete it immediately.

This can solve the problem of poor equipment conditions of smart phones. Only a very small part of the cache is kept in the mobile phone, and most of the cache is "burned after reading" under the application of streaming media technology.

This technology also has huge applications on the computer side.

Because many people's computers are very old and the configuration is not high, they often get stuck when watching videos. The video card may be the cause of the network speed, or it may be that the computer configuration is not good, or it may be that the streaming media technology is not good.

Video websites can’t solve users’ own problems, but they must do their best to provide the best technical support, so that users can watch videos online smoothly even if the device configuration is not very good.

Zhou Buqi visited Hulu and Netflix in Silicon Valley before, hum! Even these two companies are not using such emerging streaming technology!

As the largest shareholder of Netflix, Zhou Buqi has notified the management of Netflix to evaluate this "burn after reading" new streaming media technology. The licensing fee is only 1 million US dollars, which is very cheap! Buy it now!

The technology of "burning after reading" is too important, and it will be one of the core technologies for converting a computer to a smartphone.

Why is iPhone better than Android, smoother and more stable?

The most important reason is that the iPhone has a system-level "burn after reading", which is much more complicated than the "burn after reading" of the streaming media cache. All the apps on the iPhone are "burned" after use. Android phones are all stored in the cache, and the load on the phone is too heavy, making it difficult to run.

However, it's also complicated.

Google's technology is far superior to Apple's. What the Apple system can do, the Android system can definitely do. Android phones do not "burn after reading", not because they can't do it, but because they don't want to do it. This involves Google's business strategy. Android is a free system, and Google is not doing charity. It can only do some tricks and set up obstacles for itself in order to make a lot of money through the free Android system.

Zhou Buqi is not a technical expert, but as a leader in this industry, he still understands this theory, but Xue Baoshan is confused.

But it didn't matter, she didn't care about it in the first place.

"Is technology the core competitiveness of streaming media?"

"no."

"It's copyright, isn't it?" Xue Baoshan looked up at him, "I heard it when I was at Spotify."

Zhou Buqi laughed, "Yes, sister Bao is really smart! In the field of streaming media, streaming media technology is just a trail, and copyright is the core technology."

Xue Baoshan said softly: "So in the past two years, Jieyu Media has spent nearly 200 million yuan buying copyrights everywhere in China."

"right."

"Does the country also promote legalization like foreign countries?"

"This is for certain. Didn't you see this Microsoft incident? Microsoft is so hegemonic and so hateful, but people have the genuine version, that is, they have the truth, and the country can only recognize it, and they can only give money at the mercy of others. "

Xue Baoshan blinked a few times, "Why only in China?"

"Um?"

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows.

Xue Baoshan said: "Since you have such a clear judgment on the future development of the film and television industry, why don't you do copyright operation business abroad? You are the major shareholder of Netflix, but your right to speak is not strong. If you Holding most of the film and television copyrights is equivalent to mastering the core technology of Netflix, and you can incorporate Netflix into your business map."

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, and said happily, "Sister Bao is very smart!"

Xue Baoshan's beautiful eyes were bright, flashing with uncontrollable expectation, "Is it possible? Do you want to operate the copyright abroad? Jieyu Media has bought a lot of animation copyrights in Japan. This incident helped you buy NicoNico, It works a lot."

Zhou Buqi saw through Sister Bao's mind at once.

She wants to come forward to do this business!

In other words, as Mr. Zhou's business grows bigger and bigger, he has started an international commercial copyright operation. Sister Bao doesn't want to be left too far behind by him, but also wants to follow in his footsteps and do international business as well.

In this way, she doesn't have to stay in the country all the time, but can accompany Zhou and travel around the world together.
