Hollywood legendary director

The weekend early morning.

Leman is the first to let Palman arrange the industrial park that is not far from the firefly building.

The building is not big, and the up and down two layers have probably more than 340 squares, and there are several ways of different areas.

In addition, there is a meeting room, as well as a separate office.

This part is decorated in advance, but the original technical team of FOTV has not arrived, and there is also a lot of things on the main thing. The relocation process has just begun.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, a good person came.

This project application engineer of Cisco, Amazon, wearing a pair of glasses, tall and high, and a typical IT male temperament.

This is Lehman's first impression of him.

Of course, Ron Brandon, which came to interview or call two-way choices, this place seems to have just take each other, it is completely empty, or if he is surprised, he is surprised to find this. It is an international director, says that he will say that he will say it, because he doesn't see that there is a need for him.

What's more, I have to be an internet company that is East?

Therefore, after a brief introduction, the first question he sat down was: "Do you have any development in the Internet? What is the core business of development?"

Leman read his doubt, polite smile, "This is just a future office place, in fact, we really want to do Internet business, and have actually been active. I acquired a online video website, maybe you also I have heard of, called FOTV, the core positioning is naturally a platform for online video playback and downloading a platform with fireflies in the global area of ​​film and television resources. "

"Is your company enter the stream of streaming media, or?" (Test water) Ron asked.

At this time, he was actually a bit interested. After all, he had a understanding of Amazon's video business, and it was responsible for the data storage, at least, this field is not stranger here, belongs to him. Within the scope of work.

"Since I have to do, it is definitely the main business direction. I don't understand the technology, but the fireflies itself can guarantee a variety of, high-quality content supply, and even say that we will have a big movement in next year."

"Big action?" Ron was confused.

"Yes, one is very beautiful, very spent TV series." Lehman continued to shine chips, slightly explained: "You can understand" Brothers "giving HBO, we want to use a carefully The created content realizes the attraction of the user and the secondary broadens. "

"Oh." Unknown.

In fact, Ron's understanding of the film and television drama is limited to a viewer. He usually won't go fine behind the drama, or the front impression of the audience, the factory has a good thing, this kind of "virtual uncomfortable" thing, but this is It doesn't hinder what he is optimistic about the success of fireflies into the stream of streaming media.

None of him, as a circle, he replaced the traditional TV end for the mobile, almost affirmed, even if it didn't replace it now, will be replaced in the future, holding the confidence in the industry, and the Nafei naked eye visible On the road, online video services are currently available.

He also knows that, like the heroes of the Internet now, there are also horses video services, and the data, algorithm, information processing in colleges can't do it. This is what he is seeing the trend. .

Talking about a few rounds, I have a chance, and Lehman is directly recruiting: "So, if you are willing to join, the website's technical director position is yours. Algorithm, big data, precision portrait of the user's personal personal image is A big project, and even the daily maintenance, storage, and domestic and foreign servers need a experienced person to be responsible for co-ordination. Ron. "

He continued: "Online video era has just had some fertile soil, the mobile phone mobile phone representative represented by Apple, Samsung also has the corresponding carrying conditions. With the further popularization of 4G, I believe that the output value of this business is not like Now this is narrow, the sooner in this field, the more you can meet the competition for the wave ... "

Lehman talked a lot through the atmosphere of the conversation.

Ron Brandon has not too much hesitation to choose to join - rarely encountered a prospect of expansion business sector very optimistic, and there is a boss accumulated by the content, why not.

Moreover, the treatment and position is not a problem.

If you don't say your position, it is almost affirmed that he will lead the fireflies;

As for the treatment, the annual salary is 5 million, and it is guaranteed to join the management option for two years, basically more than him in Amazon's salary.

After the initial finalization, the chat content of the two quickly turned into specific business work.

Have to say, this experience, the benefits of the senior engineer of the person are almost obvious.

On the one hand, based on his own experience in Amazon, Amazon's cloud computing service he understood that after landing FOTV, he quickly proposed a improvement plan, namely: Cloud Editing Library.

Simply, a lot of data in FOTV is artificial extracted, but it can actually store the content data stored in the mobile cloud server. The data problem that should be resolved locally, put it in the cloud server, does not have to take up the space of the local server, It also reduces the amount of data captured.

To put it bluntly, a user is recorded in the shadow record or downloads the content data provided by Amazon, and it is easy to generate a personal spatial list in the background in the background. Whether the user replaces the terminal, use X-Box It is also available on TV to watch, the web or mobile phone moves, as long as the account is logged in, or you can perceive your content reserves.

The benefits of doing this are also conducive to accurately to personal favorite tendencies, and then estimate the corresponding content data.

In addition, the service mode is, Ron is not enough to know the platform main realization mode, and cannot accurately create the concept of user service.

This problem is to let Lehman think about it for a while. He is actually hesitating. From the later generations, it seems that Nafei's pure member system helps them win the biggest market share, but the cost of content has risen, their profit The situation is not very good, all use the stock price.

Just like now, Nefiri still cannot make money by a single video service, but based on the benefits of user growth, they have got a lot in the stock market. On January 27, 2011, they released the fourth quarter of 2010.

Financial report shows that the number of network lease users in the fourth quarter exceeded the market expectations. He was promoted, and Nafei stock price rose by 9.46 in the trading in the same day, reported on $ 199.59.

Since the transformation, Nafei stock price has risen from $ 48.56, and the market value has long been more than 10 billion US dollars. This is the powerful pillar they have been calm.

Conversely, FOTV has started behind, and there is no advantageous platform for pricing, Nafei should be the largest competitor.

"What do you think?"

"It's nothing more than a problem with unscading advertising. In my opinion, the market of e-commerce is quite big. Many companies have a trend towards advertising to the Internet. If the advertising business is supported, the membership price can be much lower, like Amazon The general member price of Hulu is only 5 to 6 dollars per month. This is also very attractive for users. According to my situation in Amazon, non-members do not care about advertising, because they just see free content, For member users, the number of advertising delays in the page refresh frequency is controlled in one to two, and many people can accept it without reading at all. "

Leman understands.

Isn't this a set of unity of the mainland video website, members can skip advertisements in advance, and the cost of "appropriate discrimination" is completed, but also completed the Golden Lord Dad's launch target, and can do the source of revenue. A adjustment.

That is, on the basis of keeping the page "simple", the appropriate amount of control accepts the threshold, and repeatedly jumps on the user's annual measure.

Of course, Ron Brandon's idea is very real. Nai Fei can be so pure because it enjoys the head of the video field, and the industry is paying attention to it, and the fireflies stream media business just started, what to get Support huge costs. Always blood transfusion internally? It is obviously impossible.

A mature platform always has to be self-sufficient, financial relatively healthy.

Therefore, it is actually no choice, and it is better to make a better way to put the server, bandwidth, and massive content in the website service. Create a better external environment.
