Chapter 726

"Offline transfer?"

Fang Xudong and Kong Lingyu, two senior Internet technicians, were a little surprised by the new concept proposed by Li Mu. Besides, the other two were confused.

In Li Mu's eyes, offline transmission is a very powerful function. When it was born, it was really amazing. It was 2007 when QQ launched offline transmission, but it was not difficult to realize the function of offline transmission in 2002. The hardware foundation is sufficient, but the concept has not been put forward first.

So Li Mu explained: "offline transmission is cloud service. User a wants to transfer files to user B, but user B is not online. What can I do under normal circumstances? Wait for user B to go online? Or sending email attachments is also a way, but the operation is relatively troublesome. Our offline transmission is to let user a transfer the file to our server first when user B is not online. After user B is online, even if user a is not online, he can download the file directly from our cloud server. "

As soon as Fang Xudong heard this, he immediately understood it and said with surprise, "Mr. Li, this function is extremely practical!"

Li mudian nodded: "it will be very practical, especially for business people, Internet practitioners and medium depth users. In the future, with the continuous popularization of the Internet, more shallow users will also have the demand for file transmission. At that time, this function can also cover them. My goal is to finally be able to It's not hard to make such a function cover all Internet users, because all Internet users will have the demand for file transfer. "

"But if we want to solve this problem, the cost we have to invest will be very high. First of all, the problem of information processing, server storage and bandwidth need a lot of cost."

Li Mu said: "it doesn't matter, because we are the first to launch this function and solution, then we can grade this service. If it is an ordinary YY user, the file size that each person can send offline every day must be limited to a certain range, and the storage time of each person's transferred file in the cloud will also be limited to a certain period of time, which will exceed the period of time Will be automatically deleted by the server. "

"For example, the service standard that ordinary users can get is: each person can send 10MB of files offline every day, and the server retention time is 24 hours; the service standard that YY member users can get is: each person can send 100MB of files offline every day, and the server retention time is 72 hours; if some groups of users feel that it is not enough, then they can only Purchase the advanced customization service of offline files alone, pay an additional 10 yuan per month, send 500MB files offline every day, and keep the server for 240 hours... "

Fang Xudong nodded and said happily, "I understand Mr. Li. On the one hand, you can control the storage space of the server through regular deletion, and on the other hand, you can directly create profits."

"That's right." Li Mu said: "we can determine the specific parameters again, but the attraction of this function to users is huge, and the degree of viscosity binding to users is also huge. The most important thing is that the development of the functions of transmission protocol, breakpoint continuous transmission and offline transmission will take a long time, and it needs enough technology accumulation. In addition, a powerful information office The hardware facilities such as management center, storage and bandwidth also need time to be built, debugged, and then tested for hardware and software compatibility. If we launch this function and other people want to catch up with it, then they need to do too much work, and we can maintain the technology leading advantage for a long time. "

Kong Lingyu said: "boss, this function and the solution of group audio and video will be launched in a version of YY at that time?"

Li Mu nodded slightly: "in addition, I have a product plan, which has a great technical interoperability with the data transmission just mentioned, that is, cloud disk."

"Cloud disk?"

"Yes, it can be understood as cloud disk."

Kong Lingyu and Fang Xudong just heard Li Mu finish the cloud storage of offline transmission, so after hearing the concept of cloud disk again, they both understood it.

Li Mu said: "cloud disk function is also a vertical private data cloud storage function. At present, quite a number of users may not have this demand for the time being, but this is also because no one is developing this product. My idea is that in the future, YY itself will be embedded with a cloud disk function, and each user will have a private cloud disk with a certain space, which can be used for data storage Users can directly upload their private files to their private cloud disk on the YY client. Wherever they go, they can read their private files as long as they have computers and the Internet. "

Li Mu added: "now the private PC is not really popular, and the price of U disk is very high. USB2.0 has just been launched. The price of a USB2.0 64 trillion U disk in China is about 700 yuan, and the market price of USB1.1 is about 350 yuan, almost equal to the market price of Mango me. The unit price cost of each MB of storage space is very high, and the threshold for starting is very high, so that Most users don't have the U-disk as a mobile storage device. If we use the massive data center level mechanical hard disk with large capacity to solve the problem of cloud storage, the cost of each MB of storage space will be reduced by about 100 times. If this function is launched, it will also have great practicability for our targeted user groups. "The four people on the scene, whether they understand or not, agree with the product idea very much.

Fang Xudong said: "the elite group is a group with the head sheep effect, and they have a very strong pull effect on the surrounding groups. If we win over the elite group first, the ordinary users should be much more convenient to transform."

Li Mu nodded and said, "this is the first stage of product function planning I made for YY globalization. Kaixin farm is just a stepping stone. What really catches the users in Europe and the United States is our in-depth customization of several convenient functions for the elite."

Take the elite group first, this is your own operation idea. Many products aim at all users as soon as they come up, trying to catch all users. This mentality and practice is not wrong. The key is that it is not suitable for the Internet products of China to break through the overseas market and occupy the overseas market, which is more like a real war of aggression. In the face of super strength and strict defense The most safe way to attack is to play steadily and advance step by step.

"Imagine that after the launch of a certain version of YY in the future, many companies no longer need to spend a lot of money to buy special audio and video conference hardware, just rely on YY group to complete audio and video conference directly; single to single file transfer or even group file transfer can also be completed directly in YY; at the same time, they also have personal cloud disk, which can largely replace the price High USB drive. "

"What's more, this product itself is a very easy-to-use social software. Once they start to deal with business needs on YY, they will definitely migrate business contacts to YY. At the same time, in order to pursue efficiency, they will gradually migrate all contacts to YY, striving to integrate life, work and other Internet needs into YY to improve efficiency."

Kong Lingyu nodded solemnly: "boss, don't worry, I will follow up the development of these functions with Xudong as soon as possible."

Li Mu asked, "when Kaixin farm is promoting overseas, try to put aside the Chinese elements as much as possible, so that users can't feel it's an overseas invasion game product in experience. I suggest changing the American English name, happy farm's name is a bit frustrating."

Lin Qingya said with a smile: "according to your positioning, the name of happy farm is really not suitable. I think the real English speaking countries should not call happy farm this way. It should be farm of happiness."

Li Mu waved his hand: "our game has long been more than a single farm. We have upgraded several times, adding ranches, processing and manufacturing industries, small town task system, and player interaction system. The content of the game has been very huge. Although we don't need to change the Chinese name, we can completely abandon the concept of happy farm without the English name. I have a personal idea to open up The English name of Xinnong was changed to town of paradise

"Paradise town?" "I like the name, much better than happy farm," said Lin Qingya

Fang Xudong, who has been living and working in the United States for a long time, nodded: "town of paradise is really more in line with the current characteristics of our game, and it will be more attractive for users in English speaking countries. I personally agree with it."

Kong Lingyu said excitedly, "let's push the English version of happy farm under the name of town of paradise!"

Seeing that there was no objection, Li Mu nodded and said, "OK, let's use this name, and strive to be popular in the European and American markets."

When the top priority of YY's strategy in the early stage of globalization was basically completed, Li Mu said to Ding Zhenglin, "Lao Ding, let's talk about the progress of two acquisitions."

Ding Zhenglin nodded: "first of all, FlashGet has been agreed by the developers, but the price requirements are slightly higher. His ideal price is 15 million yuan, and my price is 5 million yuan. Now he has reduced the price to 7 million yuan. The revolution has not yet been successful, and comrades still need to work hard."

Li Mu asked curiously, "how do you deal with this developer and let him cut the psychological price in half? I thought it would be very difficult for you to meet him. "

"It's really difficult, but when I find a way to convey information, I just pass it on to him and he invited me to meet him," Ding said

Li Mu asked, "what message do you send him?"

Ding Zhenglin said: "I told him that Makino technology is interested in acquiring his FlashGet. If he doesn't reply within a week, Makino technology will give up the acquisition and develop its own download software."

"I am dizzy..." Li Mu said with a smile, "you are obviously a threat!"

Ding Zhenglin said: "it's just to intimidate to solve the problem. He doesn't care about anyone and doesn't lack money. Even if other enterprises intimidate him like this, he probably won't care about it, but the technology of Muye is different. The unified cognition of the Internet industry to us is that once Muye technology wants to do something, it will try its best to defeat all competitors, and he's afraid of Muye technology pushing To produce a similar product and crush his product. "

Li Mu said with a smile, "this is very good, which proves that the R & D ability and promotion ability of Muye technology have been recognized by the domestic Internet practitioners." As he said, Li Mu asked, "sign the contract as soon as possible and get FlashGet.""OK." Ding Zhenglin nodded and said: "I've been in touch with Huaying and new film Federation for two rounds. The parent companies of the two theaters are closely related, so their quotations are relatively uniform. After calculation, the purchase price of 14 theaters, 65 projection halls and 12590 seats is about 4000 yuan for a single seat."

Ding Zhenglin gives Li Mu a glimpse of the cost of single seat accounting. He is not interested in knowing the specific situation and quotation of each cinema. The cost of single seat can make him easily calculate the scale of the whole acquisition.

Li Mu asked him, "have you measured the cost? Is it on the high side or on the low side?"

Ding Zhenglin said: "according to the situation of these 14 theaters, the overall estimate is still slightly low, but the key is that these theaters are facing upgrading now. I entrusted an actuary to calculate the cost. At present, if the overall large-scale upgrading of the theater line is carried out on the existing basis, the cost of a single seat is about 3000 yuan. In this case, the cost of a single seat is overall This is about 8000 yuan, and the total investment is slightly over 100 million yuan. "

Li Mu said and asked him, "what link is it now?"

"In negotiating the price, I want to reduce the acquisition cost to about 4500 yuan per seat," Ding explained

Li Mu nodded and asked Fang Xudong, "how long will our ticketing system be developed?"

"One and a half months is OK, but it will take a little time to debug the hardware and software. Generally speaking, it should be done in two months," Fang said

Li Mu then said to Ding Zhenglin, "if you can't cut down the price, you don't need to cut down the lines this week. After you take down the lines, you need to upgrade them. For us, time is more important than that cost."

Ding Zhenglin immediately said: "no problem, I must sign the contract for both this week."

Li Mu said, looking at Lin Qingya, "we must make full use of our manpower to recruit people. Now the scale of human resources department is very large. Social recruitment and campus recruitment should be all-out. What we need most now is elites like laoding and Laofang. We need to increase our efforts in this regard."

Lin Qingya said with a smile, "president Fang introduced several high-end talents employed by Chinese in Silicon Valley. I'm already communicating with him. Now we are cooperating with a multinational headhunting company, and we have got the intention of more than ten senior employees, including several middle-level technical talents from Google, Oracle and Microsoft."

Hearing this, Li Mu took off his mouth and said: "this is the most important work! If we want to be a first-class Internet company, we need to not only export good products to the world, but also export industry standards and solutions to the world, so that the world Internet in some fields is no longer the industry standards formulated by Microsoft, apple, Cisco or a silicon valley geek, but the industry standards formulated by Muye technology are widely used, which is our future star Chendahai!
