Chapter 413 The future overlord, there are two of three
Thoughts were flowing, and the topic of Station B made Lin Chen think of a future project that could be said to be initiated from games and two-dimensional websites, and eventually gradually grew into a blue ocean of business.
Live video platform.
In Lin Chen's previous life, he had the impression that China's earliest video live broadcast platform was the predecessor of Huya Live, which later became the leader in domestic video live broadcast, YY Live.
Lin Chen immediately opened the laptop in front of him and started searching on the Internet.
Soon, information about this world's YY live broadcast appeared in front of him.
It was similar to Lin Chen’s impression of the YY live broadcast in his previous life.
The YY live broadcast in this world has also appeared.
However, due to the popularity of the Internet, the live video business is still only a small business for the time being.
Last year, the total revenue of the YY live broadcast platform was only 50 million.
As one of the few live broadcast platforms in China today, such income is simply not enough.
But Lin Chen knew that this was just the beginning.
As the speed of the Internet continues to increase, live video broadcast will soon become an entertainment project that cannot be ignored on the Internet.
In his memory, the number of registered users of the live broadcast platform YY Live alone has reached 1 billion, with more than 122 million monthly active users, and monthly platform transaction volume reaching tens of billions.
Although there is a lot of water generated by platform operations, even if the water is squeezed out, it is definitely not a small number.
So, Lin Chen raised his head and asked everyone: "Everyone, what do you think of the live broadcast industry?"
"live streaming?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, wondering why Lin Chen suddenly mentioned this.
All of you here are very busy people. They rarely have the opportunity to work on TV and movies. Naturally, they don’t know much about this emerging industry.
But at this time, a boy said: "Director Lin, I think the live broadcast industry is very good. Although there are still very few people watching live broadcasts now, I think online live broadcasts are likely to be very popular in the future."
Lin Chen's eyes lit up and he looked at this person.
He remembered that the other person's name seemed to be Ou Zhifei, a newcomer who graduated from the finance department of a certain university in China. Although he was a newcomer, his abilities had been recognized by Lin Chen's Golden Finger. In the past year, this person had taken advantage of the investment given by Lin Chen.
Quota, I invested in a web game company. Although it didn't become a big success, I still made a small profit.
"Why do you think so?" he asked.
Ou Zhifei immediately replied: "Dr. Lin, I actually watch the live broadcast myself. And I have watched it for almost half a year, so I know very well that the number of books used on the live broadcast platform is actually increasing exponentially. According to my survey, this
A large part of the reason is that domestic network construction is accelerating."
"In the past, the network bandwidth in many places did not even have 10M. It was impossible to watch live broadcasts and videos, but now many places have access to fiber optic broadband. It is not uncommon to have a bandwidth of 100M, and broadband rates are also declining, so watching videos,
More and more people are watching the live broadcast.”
"So I think that in the future, when the network construction gradually matures, more and more people will watch the live broadcast."
Lin Chen nodded with satisfaction. Although Ou Zhifei's reasons were still far-fetched and lacked direct data and evidence to support them, his vision was indeed good.
In the future, live video streaming will indeed become a general trend and will be highly profitable.
"Ou Zhifei, since you are so optimistic about live broadcasting, I will give you a task to discuss the acquisition with YY Live Broadcasting. I hope to get a controlling stake in YY Live Broadcasting, or at least become a major shareholder."
"Okay! Director Lin, what is the upper limit of investment amount?"
"The sky's the limit."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, others all looked at Ou Zhifei's investment project. There was no upper limit on the investment amount. This was a treatment that only a few projects in the entire department could have at the moment.
Unexpectedly, Ou Zhifei, whose investment amount was only a few million before, could suddenly get such authority. This is because he was favored by his boss!
Seeing his subordinates taking on big projects, as a department manager of the venture capital department, Liu Xing naturally couldn't let them be the best.
Last time, Liu Xing brought Lin Chen a big surprise with the Tmall company, and this time, he gave Lin Chen an investment project that was no less than Tmall.
"Director Lin, this is a project that I hope to promote this year. I have contacted the other party's boss several times. His impression on me is no worse than Ma Xiaoyun. I think he is a very thoughtful person.
I hope you, Mr. Lin, can think about it carefully."
Looking at the investment plan Liu Xing brought over, Lin Chen's eyes lit up.
Word boundaries jumping?
This name looks so familiar...
Lin Chen quickly looked down. After carefully reading the other party's information and future plans, Lin Chen finally confirmed that the investment project Liu Xing brought this time was Toutiao, which will occupy the leading position in the domestic mobile information field in the future.
!
Toutiao, although it appears to be a news software on the surface, is actually somewhat similar to Baidu. It is a recommendation engine product based on data mining that recommends information to users and provides services that connect people and information.
This is a very ambitious product. In the future of the mobile Internet, Toutiao will have the same status as Baidu today. Zijie Toutiao’s products are not only Toutiao. Another one is famous in the future, and it has also launched
Guomen's products are also produced under the banner of Zi Jie Tiao.
This product will be the overlord of short video APP in the future, Douyin!
One Toutiao and one Douyin have given Zijie Jump a valuation of over US$70 billion, making it an Internet giant no less important than Penguin Empire and Ali Baba in the future.
This Liu Xing...
Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh.
He is really one of his blessed generals. First he brought him Tmall, and now Zijiejing...
Not to mention the astonishing valuation of Zijie Jump Future and its extremely popular Douyin, the significance of Toutiao's product to Lin Chen's future mobile empire alone is worth his investment.
With Toutiao today, every piece of the media field in Lin Chen’s future mobile empire can be supplemented.
"Crack!"
Lin Chen suddenly clapped his hands on the table, which shocked everyone present. Liu Xing was even more nervous, thinking that his investment this time had angered Lin Chen.
But unexpectedly, what Lin Chen said next made him overjoyed: "Liu Xing, from today on, you are the vice president of Stardust Investment and concurrently the department manager of the venture capital department!"
Giving Liu Xing such a promotion was definitely worth it in Lin Chen's opinion, because he was the future overlord of China's Internet field, and Lin Chen was already two of the three.
If you make mistakes, you will be punished; if you make merit, you will be rewarded.
For an outstanding talent like Liu Xing, Lin Chen would naturally not be stingy about rewarding him.
