Chapter 1490 R Live
After finishing his work in Hangzhou, Yang Dongxu went to Shanghai. He did not go to Hurricane Building first, but came to R Live Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. in Pudong New Area.
R Live is a wholly-owned subsidiary established by Xuri Technology to develop the live broadcast market. The current CEO of the company is Huang You, who was previously in charge of the Qifan business.
After a period of development, especially with a strong technical team as a backing, 361 Video Technology can help with video technology.
The chat business in YY Live, as well as voice and video functions, can be copied from YY chat software. Therefore, R Live stands on the shoulders of giants. Although the entire company was established only last year, the company was established and the integration of various departments was very fast.
This year, the parent company Xuri Technology was still watching Jiucheng dance and guarding against Baidu entering the chat market to disrupt the situation.
Huang You has taken the employees of R Live to do a small test of the R Live platform that is about to be launched. At present, the effect is very good.
Except for some minor problems such as some internal programs when the screen is broadcasting during the live broadcast, it is found that there are some problems with the number of gifts that are too large and not calculated in time.
These are minor problems. As long as the backend computing system is upgraded to the developed version, it will be fine. So Huang You enthusiastically applied to Yang Dongxu for 200 high-end servers to set up YY's server group.
Now, major online game companies often have 1.5 million+ or 2 million+ game players online at the same time?
I R Live decided to start later and first positioned myself at 6 million online users, leaving behind the so-called online games and directly matching the instant messaging software.
Compared with the servers of large online games, the server pressure of the live broadcast platform is much smaller. First of all, as long as the host screen is not stuck and all networks are unobstructed.
It is OK for tourists to watch without stuck. Unlike when players play large online games, countless players are operating together, and the server must follow up and calculate for each character in real time.
Live broadcast is much simpler, just like millions of people watching a movie online at the same time. As long as the movie is synchronized well and the audience is given the best experience, it will be OK.
So theoretically, a server group of 6 million people who can be online at the same time can accommodate about 10 million people on the R live broadcast platform.
After all, the live broadcast of the anchor actually occupies the most computing power. As for the computing power occupied by tourists, not much, such as some anchors with specific audience groups.
As soon as the tourists come, they go straight to her live broadcast channel and stay there for several hours without moving. Occasionally, there will be a little data flow when they swipe free gifts or something, and the rest of the time, they are just like tourists on video websites, watching movies without much movement.
Of course, although the traffic generated by tourists themselves is small, when a small amount accumulates into a large amount, the live broadcast platform will also be overwhelmed and stuck if the server is not good.
However, this is not a problem for R Live, after all, he has Sunrise Technology behind him.
Sunrise Technology not only has experience in running large-scale games with millions of players online at the same time, but now the number of YY registered users has approached 120 million, and the number of people online at the same time is approaching 20 million.
With such a solid backing, what is there for him to fear?
"According to the data stream released by the internal department, the 200 high-end server clusters can basically accommodate 200 to 300 anchors to broadcast live at the same time, and smoothly provide live broadcast and interactive services for about 8 million users.
Here are some plans we have made for giving gifts." R stood in front of the office of the live broadcast. There was a projector on the desk, and PPT was playing inside.
As the screen in the projector played, Huang You's introduction was very contagious, and he was a little excited when he spoke.
After the explanation, Yang Dongxu applauded first, and others followed suit.
"There are no other problems. I would like to make some other suggestions. Although R Live is not signing, it is going to be a live streamer to attract fans.
You also focus on improving the picture quality and interactive functions during live broadcasts. But the chat function, especially the voice function, must be strengthened.
Although YY now has a voice function, it is basically one-to-one. Although video conferencing has been developed, it is a relatively formal voice mode.
R Live should dig deeper into the entertainment mode voice that YY voice does not involve. For example, the guild voice mode.
First of all, the voice room can be divided into many channels. The president and the leaders of the major legions are in the main channel, and the captains under the legion leader and other combat players are in 1, 2, and 3. , 4, 5 and similar sub-channels.
In this way, a voice function suitable for the command system of large-scale online game guild wars is created as a template. Although R Live is a subsidiary of Xuri Technology.
But you must have your own highlights, and you can't always rely on the parent company to help you attract traffic. Live broadcast is your fist, but this fist alone is not enough.
Make the voice system well and attract game players to use the R Live platform to communicate when playing games, especially during guild wars.
This can become the traffic-driving fist of the R Live platform.
One is to attract traffic, and the other is to turn the visitors who are attracted into the live broadcast room into fans, and then upgrade to users or even members of R Live. In this way, R Live has the ability to operate independently, and there is also this gift-brushing aspect."
Yang Dongxu's question at the beginning made Huang You's eyes light up. Then the more he listened to the big boss, the more reasonable it made. Many other company executives in the office slowly sat up and started to take notes.
For them who have already started to delve into the live broadcast industry, Yang Dongxu's words are absolutely golden advice.
Because these are not blind commands, but good things that have been tempered by the market in the future.
Although Yang Dongxu doesn't know much about technology, he has seen what the front desk of many live broadcast platforms such as YY, Huya, Douyu, etc. looks like, what kind of benefits users have, and how to operate.
He just needs to say these required functions, and how to make them is the problem of technicians.
And the functions that still exist after thousands of tempers must be the essence of good things. These technicians understood what kind of awesome experience their products can give users after adding this, so these people became more energetic as they listened.
The meeting was originally scheduled for one hour, but Huang You finished speaking for one hour, and Yang Dongxu spoke for another hour later. The people below took a small notebook to record a lot of good things.
"Okay, let's stop here for today and have dinner first. We'll continue in the afternoon and have a dinner at Yang's family banquet in the evening."
Yang Dongxu raised his hand to check the time and said, "Finally, let me summarize. Although the 8 million users mentioned by Manager Huang is a high number compared to online games.
But although R Live is entertaining, it is not an online game. It is more appropriate to say that it is more like an entertainment chat software.
So you can't just compare the live broadcast platform with online games. You have to focus on chat software.
YY can reach 120 million registered users and the number of online users is going straight to 20 million. Why can't you? So 200 server clusters are still too few. I will approve 500 for you.
Do you have the confidence to make these 500 server clusters overloaded, so that I have to approve more servers for you?"
"Yes!"
A group of liver emperors roared excitedly. This bowl of chicken soup was so filling, tut tut tut!
But seriously speaking, it is not a bowl of poisonous chicken soup. When the live broadcast platform started to become popular, the number of visitors was really huge.
Let’s not talk about the videos uploaded by a Qifan platform anchor, which can easily get millions of hits on the UK. There are not many such big anchors on the Qifan platform, right?
Then there are the Dream anchors, the Swordsman anchors, and even the popular Demon Realm anchors and World of Warcraft anchors. Of course, there are many duplicate players here.
But if we combine all the popular games now, there are five anchors for one game, and one anchor has 100,000 long-term stable viewers, which is a base of several million.
Not to mention those tourists who click in to watch the excitement. When LOL is popular in the future, some large-scale competitions will have more than 10 million viewers in a minute.
So it is not wrong to let R Live work in this direction now.
And even though the Internet is not as developed as in the future, as long as R Live develops, it will definitely be more popular than in the future.
Because the Internet is not developed, there are fewer netizens, but there are also fewer competitors. In the future, there will be a large number of live broadcast platforms, and I don’t know how many online users will be divided by various diversions.
Now no one has noticed that if R Live can guarantee the first place in the industry, the number of users will really not be worse than that of chat software.
Even though the number of registered users may be slightly worse, the number of online visitors is definitely not bad. In this era when short video platforms have not yet appeared.
Online live broadcasts must be very rare for everyone. When they have nothing to do, even if they don’t register as R Live users, they will click in to take a look.
At that time, if you get a YY account with one-click login, or one-click registration, the number of registered users of R Live will definitely take off.
Of course, whether it can become popular overnight depends on the quality of the first batch of live broadcasts.
At the beginning, it must be beautiful women and handsome men who lead the way. Eye-catching is the ultimate skill of live broadcasts, especially in this era without beauty.
Everyone has not had such serious aesthetic fatigue, and handsome men and beautiful women can naturally attract traffic.
Of course, whether the traffic can be retained depends on the content. Therefore, in addition to good looks, this talent also needs to be cultivated.
Of course, if you want to make live broadcasts completely popular, professional anchors alone are not enough. All democratic anchors must come together to make the entire industry more colorful.
So this live broadcast equipment needs to be developed. The anchors at the beginning must be contracted anchors of R Live. They need to come to R Live to work, so the equipment and other things are provided by the official.
When live streaming becomes popular, ordinary people will also want to live stream. You can't get all the anchors to the company. Only taking a share of the gifts without signing a contract is the best way for the live streaming platform to make money.
So when these people live stream, they need to buy live streaming equipment.
"There is always a rhythm of wanting to eat eggs, and you have to build a chicken farm." Yang Dongxu couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
Wanting to develop an industry, suddenly felt that he couldn't keep up with everything. When he saw that the equipment and technology couldn't keep up and affected his business, he wanted to do it himself. As a result, he just wanted to eat eggs, but ended up with a chicken farm.
