Chapter 152 Stunning Barrage Design
Chapter 152 Stunning Barrage Design
Since it is decided to increase the valuation of YouTube as much as possible, some news that has not been announced yet can be slightly "leaked" in an ambiguous way.
Just like the question raised by KPCB representatives now.
It is true that the popularity of computers is definitely the biggest obstacle to the development of YouTube.
Otherwise, YouTube's valuation would be more than 30 billion US dollars.
But KPCB mentioned the market, and Li Bai naturally has a way to deal with it.
Don't forget, the Dragon smartphone will start to be sold globally in two months.
Compared with computer users, mobile phone users will be a group that is so huge that people have to look at it.
In 2001 alone, the global mobile phone sales reached 400 million units.
If a third of those people had smartphones, YouTube would experience a frightening increase in subscribers.
Moreover, smartphones are more suitable for technological products in the self-media era than computers.
The convenience alone surpasses the computer countless times.
As early as when smartphone chips were being made, Li Bai had already started to write the mobile version of 17 for all of his products except online games.
Moreover, the mobile phones that are about to leave the factory will also be installed with different built-in software for different sales regions.
This is the biggest benefit of a monopoly platform.
With the release of the Dragon phone, the number of users of Li Bai's products will inevitably enter a period of explosive growth.
The valuation of almost all software products will also undergo earth-shaking changes.
Li Bai showed a weird smile: "Who said YouTube's online platform is only available on PC?"
As soon as this sentence came out, all the investors fell into deep thought.
In this day and age, besides computers, what else can be connected to the Internet?
Could it be that Li Bai is talking about mobile phones?
Are you kidding, isn't that a communication device? Even the latest smartphones can indeed access the Internet, but what can you do with that speed?
Moreover, the screen of the mobile phone is too small to watch the video normally.
Wait...thinking about cell phones, something doesn't seem right.
They immediately thought of some abnormal behavior in the mobile phone market recently.
The five giant mobile phone operators, Samsung, Sony, Nokia, Siemens, and Motorola, have launched an unprecedented war of competition.
And it's getting worse and worse, the five giant mobile phone manufacturers have been beaten to death, and the price of mobile phones has been reduced by half.
This has benefited countless ordinary people who watched the excitement.
At the beginning, the media in Millican even ridiculed this matter: "If these giant companies have been in such a vicious competition, I think we ordinary consumers will have the last laugh.
But if you think about it carefully, the reason why these five giant companies are fighting seems to be very vague, but inexplicably, an unprecedented price war started.
Many dealers have even sold out of stock, but these companies have no plans to continue supplying.
These outsiders once thought that the stop of supply was to reduce losses.
So it seems that all they did before was to clear the inventory?
Not only mobile phone manufacturers, but even mobile phone chip manufacturers and mobile phone screen manufacturers are almost all cutting prices.
And there is only one possibility that can make the entire mobile phone industry bleed so much, and that is that the mobile phone industry is about to change.
More than a month ago, some media broke the news that the major mobile phone carriers held a secret meeting in Rocky City.
The news at that time was quickly suppressed.
Many people even thought it was a rumor.
Thinking about it this way, the mobile phone market will definitely change, and from Li Bai's words, it seems that he already knows some definite news.
Paralyzed!
These gang of black-hearted mobile phone manufacturers, even after such a big incident happened, they blocked the news tightly!
How can this be reasonable!
All the people present were quick-witted people, and almost all of them guessed the idea.
Sun Zhengyi directly took a deep breath: "Mr. Li, does the new network platform you just mentioned refer to mobile phones?"
Li Bai smiled: "I'm sorry everyone, this is an industry secret, so I have nothing to say."
Sure enough, it was a mobile phone.
This group of investors has begun to re-evaluate YouTube.
If the mobile phone can really become another carrier of YouTube, it means that the number of users will be several times higher than it is now.
And YouTube's influence will become even more terrifying.
Although this news may be false, but if they really want to invest in YouTube, they can only treat the news as true.
Moreover, to grasp the market, the most important thing is to judge the amount in advance.
And Li Bai is likely to be an insider in the mobile phone industry, and even Orfila, who has a calm expression, is also an insider.
This is no longer judging the amount in advance, but knowing the future development trend.
How convenient will it be to seize emerging markets?
Li Bai's words have reached this point, and it is almost implied. Otherwise, the giants of the Android Alliance will question Li Bai.
And he really didn't say anything, did he?
He coughed a few times: "YouTube's users will increase rapidly in the future, which is a predictable fact, so how to increase YouTube's user stickiness is what we will do next."
"First of all, we will add functions such as likes, rewards, sharing, negative comments, barrage and other functions on short videos, so that users can get profits from their own videos, and also allow other viewers to express their views on the videos more objectively."
Basically, it is the same set of short videos in later generations, all moved to the current YouTube.
Let the audience have more interactive experience in the process of watching the video.
Although these people couldn't understand functions such as barrage, Li Bai had already made preparations. He turned the computer in front of him to these investors.
"Everyone can feel the new version of YouTube short video."
Li Bai is too lazy to operate with a projector, the best way to promote it is to let these people experience it by themselves.
373 Bill Gates, who sits in the middle, naturally does his part.
The richest man in the world, after all, has privileges.
And he usually likes to watch some short videos.
Soon, the likes and rewards in Li Bai's mouth, the national function Bill Gates tried it out.
Not to mention, it's quite novel.
In the end, there is only the so-called barrage function left.
He moved the mouse and finally found the barrage button, which was still closed at the moment.
After he opened the barrage, the video directly entered the pause state, and then an editing box popped up.
"Hint: Please express your opinion."
"Are you typing text here?" Bill Gates glanced at Li Bai.
"Yes, you can say what you think about this video, or whatever."
Bill Gates thought for a while, and tapped the keyboard a few times, "I am Bill Gates", and the words "I am Bill Gates" appeared in the edit box.
After clicking Finish, the video re-entered the playback state, but a second later, a line of English subtitles floated over the top of the video screen: "I am Bill Gates".
"I buy Karma!"
This is the exclamation of Bill Gates.
"It's an amazing function that allows users to interact better!"
Just imagine, everyone watching videos and chatting at the same time, what kind of carefree feeling will this be?
This idea alone is worth 5 billion dollars!.
