2007 can be said to be a year of rapid development of domestic broadband, although no one proposed a network highway plan.
But with the sudden drop in prices of dual-core processors, graphics cards, computer motherboards, and LCD monitors. This led to a boom in the assembled computer market.
Computers that used to cost four to five thousand to assemble now only require two to three thousand.
And compared with later generations of quad-core processors, they may not be able to support large-scale games such as Liu Chang's Chicken Dinner and EVE. Nowadays, dual-core processors can take basically all domestic games to the next level.
What about Fantasy Westward Journey, what about Tian Long Ba Bu, what Zhu Xian, what Legend and Swordsman, Demon Realm and Warcraft. In short, a dual-core processor can play these games very well.
With policies such as bringing broadband to rural areas in hometowns, the number of computers in Chinese cities and towns has begun to soar like a rocket. The number of online fans has also reached a new peak since 2000.
This time is an extremely happy year for both computer manufacturers and broadband operators.
Computer assembly machines and brand-name machines are selling like hotcakes, especially when college students start school, and even laptops are selling like crazy.
The cost of broadband is also so high that people are speechless. Compared with later generations, as long as you apply for a mobile phone card and use a fixed package, the broadband will be free.
The telecom broadband at this time was only 2M. You read that right, 2M is not 2G broadband. It only costs 120 yuan a month, which is almost like robbery.
It is probably because of the catfish effect of Huaxia Telecom, otherwise the price of this broadband package was 180 before, let alone dial-up Internet access at an earlier time. Internet access at home is like surfing the Internet in an Internet cafe and having to pay an Internet fee every hour.
Therefore, at this point in time, the entire computer production line, whether it is upstream or downstream, whether it is supporting facilities or broadband operators, everyone is making a lot of money, and the money is like picking up money without worrying about users.
The rapid increase in Internet users is also driving the development of Internet products. Online shopping has reached a new peak. The number of game players, online movie viewing, and online news clicks are setting new records every day.
All the merchants in Le's entire Internet market are grinning from ear to ear. It can be said that in this era, as long as you have a little bit of involvement in this industry, you will not lose money, it is just a matter of making more or less.
At this time, Rising Sun Technology, which took advantage of the opportunity for a period of time, once again dropped a bombshell, directly winning the online live broadcast and rebroadcast rights of the Olympic Games in China, including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, for a price of 160 million.
This price is more than the total cost of all the live broadcasts of the Olympic Games in some countries. 361 Film and Television directly entered the public eye with an extremely gorgeous posture. At the same time, the leaders of major TV stations instantly smelled the smell of a crying wolf.
Although the development of 361 Film and Television has been low-key in recent years, there is almost no news. When people surf the Internet, they just open the previous Storm, or Thunder, or Qvod to watch movies.
Now, whenever I want to watch TV or watch a movie, I will open 361 directly, because it is so convenient to open 361 Movies.
Currently, most home computers, including computers in Internet cafes, use 361’s security system and 361’s browser.
So just open 361 Movies and TV, directly open 361 Browser and click to go. There is no need to open a separate software to watch movies or TV series, and sometimes you have to download it.
It can be said that nowadays netizens do not say left or right, but 99.9% of the time, when they want to watch a movie or TV series, they will directly click on 361 to watch it.
Many times I even want to see what good movies or TV series are out now that I can watch for free. The first thing that comes to mind is 361.
Many movies have noticed this when promoting them and spent money to promote them on the 361 page before they were released.
TV series such as "Soldier Assault", which were popular in the past two years, have far more clicks and views online than TV broadcasts. This made major TV stations the first to smell the crisis.
Some people even suggested that people no longer watch TV, and many movies and TV series cannot reach the previous ratings myth because online viewing has diverted too many viewers, so online viewing should be banned.
Of course, even though many people clamored for this proposal, it was a pity that it fell through the cracks in the end.
After all, anyone who is not a fool can see that online movie viewing has become a general trend. What is particularly important is the great importance attached to the trillion-dollar market of the Internet.
They are all looking forward to seeing what kind of positive impact it will have on the domestic economic environment, GDP, and industry ecology after the market is fully expanded. How can it be possible to stab the Internet industry in the back with a knife?
Although there were some shortcomings in the development of the Internet industry, countless parents even called out that Internet games were a scourge. All game company owners should be shot.
But in fact, many people have already seen that a new era is coming, and the Internet plays an extremely important and irreplaceable role and component in this new era. How can it be possible to directly commit suicide?
Therefore, the voice of online movie watching is blocked, and occasionally some news headlines are promoted by traditional TV stations. But in fact, 361 Film and Television is developing rapidly.
At the same time, traditional Internet giants such as Youku, NetEase, Sohu, etc., like sharks smelling fishy smell, began to spend heavily to enter this industry, and other capital was also ready to move into this industry.
Even Baidu has launched Baidu Movies, hoping to get a share of this new trend.
However, these Internet giants have all been suppressed by 361 Movies for one reason or another. Not to mention the convenience of being directly installed on the 361 browser, which allows lazy people to choose 361 to watch movies by default.
Simply relying on Haina, Asia's largest entertainment company, 361's various movie and TV series resources are unmatched by other Internet companies.
And now 361 does not have any membership system. Now all film and television resources are free.
There is no such thing as charging fees on one's own side, while other websites are staring at the pressure of piracy and playing for free to compete for traffic. Since it’s all free, why not watch the original version?
In addition, Hainer has tasted the sweetness of song copyrights over the years, and he does not pay ordinary attention to the copyrights of various film and television works.
And 361 is willing to spend a lot of money to directly acquire the copyrights of movies and TV series that were previously broadcast for free online.
You must know that in the past, these movies or TV series were poorly broadcast on local stations. Later, when it was placed online, the copyright owner didn’t even get a dime in copyright fees.
Now, in addition to the rights to adapt and remake these movies, you can actually receive an additional copyright fee. It can be said that these people are all on the side of 361.
This forces Youku, Sohu, etc. to spend money to buy copyrights, otherwise they will have to litigate.
Video software such as Kuaibo and Baofengying that offer free viewing are also being hit more and more seriously. No one paid attention to this before. They could use free resources to monetize traffic.
Now 361 has stepped in and spent money to buy the copyright but broadcast it for free. It seems that I have a lot of money but it is thankless, which has put a lot of pressure on these broadcast websites.
The only reason why these websites are not dead now is because of the demand of netizens for some indescribable love action movies.
As a formal website, 361 will definitely not be able to unlock similar resources. Netizens can only view them through these websites, so the traffic can be temporarily stable.
However, such a video player will be put under review at the end of this year. Although the first trial of this case took seven years, the penalty was not issued until 20114.
But under the official crackdown on unhealthy videos and information online, this is already a dead end.
What's more, countless capital now thinks that online film and television is a delicious piece of cake. How can such a website that steals its own money-making copyrights and traffic be allowed to continue to survive?
So when the verdict of the Kuaibo case was announced in 2014, many veteran drivers took to the Internet to say that they owed Brother Xing a membership.
But in fact, all the veteran drivers who entered Brother Xing contributed a bit.
Why did Brother Xing go in?
Why did Qiubo thrive in the wild era of online movie viewing? Why did he lie down when he saw that he was about to make a lot of money by watching online movies?
Don’t you think that this video player has moved a lot of capital?
The clicks and traffic contributed by veteran drivers in these cheeses are an important part of it.
Coupled with the continuous improvement of Internet laws and the official crackdown on Internet crimes, Brother Xing was sent in smoothly.
"Will you continue to follow up on financing?" Zhang Chaoyang's fingers were tapping rhythmically on the office desk of Sohu's chairman.
The three major portals back then are now in decline. Among them, Sohu, which was so popular back then, is now the most lonely.
After all, NetEase became a monk and started playing games halfway, and now I am living a very prosperous life.
Although Xinlang was a bit half-dead before, it was about to end. But Weibo has forcibly extended its life. Now the battle for Weibo with other Internet companies is in full swing, and Wenwen has the upper hand. The future is promising.
Of the three giants back then, only Sohu was left in the most difficult situation, so Zhang Chaoyang, who was seeking change, set his sights on online movie viewing.
It must be said that the boss's eyes are extremely sharp and precise. Back then, it made sense that they could become the three Internet giants and control the top domestic network traffic.
In the previous life, whether it was NetEase making games, Xinlang making Weibo, or Sohu making online movie viewing websites.
The three giants have all made great gains on the road to change, and Sohu's online movie viewing has a bright future.
If 361 hadn't stepped in, only Youku could have fought with him now. It can be said that the two-divided world is fighting back and forth.
As for iQiyi, LeTV, Tencent Video, etc. that have become popular in the future, they are all juniors and rising stars. Although Qianlang was beaten to death on the beach, Sohu is the absolute king in this era.
But now this industry is being interfered with by 361, which makes Zhang Chaoyang very uncomfortable.
It's the same feeling as when Legend of the Richest Man Chen was robbed and Ding Sanshi's Fantasy Westward Journey was robbed.
But Chen, the richest man, can counterattack and become the richest man by relying on "World of Warcraft", and Ding Sanshi still has Westward Journey in hand. What kind of comeback bargaining chip does Zhang Chaoyang have in his hand?
