Chapter 299 Not Optimistic

It is not technically difficult to build an online live broadcast platform. Any computer network company in Yangchuan City can do this job. The hardware is all ready-made and you can buy it with money. There are also templates for live broadcast software on the Internet, which can be used with slight modifications.

"Don't worry, leave this job to me, senior brother. I guarantee that it will be done quickly, beautifully and cheaply. I will also take care of the subsequent maintenance work for you."

The person who spoke was a dark-faced man who looked to be in his thirties. He was not tall but very strong. At first glance, he looked like a foreman carrying bricks on a construction site.

People should not be judged by their appearance, this is true and true.

The person in front of me is called Shen Yan. He looks like a coolie who has sold out his labor force, but he is actually one year older than Su Ming. He is not yet twenty-five this year. He was the famous 'computer madman' in their school back then, standard. Technical elite.

After graduation, Shen Yan started a computer company. It was rumored to be a good talk in school. The teacher often said in class: Look at Shen Yan. He became his own boss just after graduation. How about you, write an introductory C++ program for helloworld? It will take a long time...

And there is something unexpected. Shen Yan, the black guy, who is not much more handsome than Wu Dalang, is actually quite popular among girls. Probably because he often comes to help girls repair their computers.

Su Ming had a university group. He saw Ana Shen posting a message in the group that day. He had recently expanded his business and was involved in not only software but also hardware. He hoped that everyone would join in and introduce some business, so he found him.

After talking about the business, Su Ming and Shen Yan talked, moved two chairs, and sat on the waterside platform to bask in the sun and drink tea.

"This big snake... won't... bite people..." Seeing the overlord python wrapped around its body and basking in the sun on the platform, Ana Shen broke into a cold sweat and asked stammeringly.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a ripple on the water ahead, and a hill appeared under the water. The snapping turtle swam up from the water with its big head stretched out, and cautiously looked into the house.

It was bullied by the cats in the house when it was a child. Although it has grown into a giant, it still has psychological shadow. Every time it shows up, it will look first to see if the cats are there.

"Go, go, go and play with the snapping turtle in the water. Don't lie down and scare people. And next time, don't cross your body like a super poop..." Su Ming snapped his fingers at the Overlord Python.

The Overlord Python turned its head and looked at Su Ming indifferently. It was probably dissatisfied with Su Ming's comment that it looked like 'poo', and it spat out the snake's tongue as if to demonstrate. Then it unfolded its body and slowly swam from the exit of the platform. Move into the water.

Ana Shen was stunned on the side, and after a long time, he sighed, "Hey, you've lived a good life, no wonder everyone in the group is envious and jealous when you are mentioned."

"You're not bad." Su Ming rinsed the cup with the first tea water, poured the water into the cup with a tea tong, and then poured tea into the eight ancient rattan cups on the tray in sequence, "Please give me tea."

Ana Shen used two fingers to twist a small cup, took a sip, and then continued: "I can't do it. Business is really hard to do now. I have to work hard to earn some money and work for the landlord. It's better for you to be comfortable here. , a paradise with green mountains and green waters, unfettered.”

He put down the cup, pointed to the tea set in front of him, and said with a smile: "Let's take this for example. I have a lot of business, and drinking is common. This is the first time I have seen a boss of our age drinking tea. No wonder people say, The tea-drinking group is wealthier than the drinking group. When drinking, they all brag. After bragging, they go home and take a nap. When drinking tea, they are all thinking. "

Su Ming smiled and did not answer. Shen Yan was able to start a company right after graduation and run it well, so he was definitely not a technical nerd. He was currently working on a zoo project, so let’s just listen to some of his words, such as drinking tea and drinking chicken soup for the soul. Don't take it too seriously.

There is an old man in Sun Town who has been drinking tea all his life and never drinks alcohol. Now he is still receiving government relief. What can I say?

"The more you drink the wine, the warmer it becomes, and the more you drink the water, the colder it becomes. I'll choose the middle one and drink tea, neither cold nor warm." Su Ming said.

When talking about warmth and coldness, Ana Shen seemed to be quite touched, "Length and warmth, coldness and warmth, and human relationships in the world are all in these two words."

"What's the matter? You're suddenly feeling very angry?" Su Ming asked with a smile.

"Remembering the last class reunion." Shen Yan shrugged: "So sometimes I am too lazy to attend the class reunion. I am doing better than you, showing off my wealth and pretending to be cool. I am not as good as you, and I think you are showing off your wealth. , it’s a good time to catch up on old times and have a meal, the scene is quite lively, everyone doesn’t know what they are thinking, and when the cold wind blows outside, there are only four words left: warmth and warmth.”

"You can't do it, you're talking about so many vicissitudes of life."

"To be honest, my classmates have changed so fast after graduation. There are not many people like you who are still the same as when they were in school. It's rare to have an innocent heart." Shen Yan said.

"Senior brother, are you praising me or scolding me?" Su Ming laughed. Why did this sound like he was saying that I never looked like a child?

Shen Yan felt that his life had returned, but the progress of the project was not satisfactory at all. The professional construction team sent that afternoon installed high-definition pixel cameras at various places designated by Su Ming of the zoo, and carried out wiring and other tasks. A series of work, and at the same time personally brought the program designers to discuss the software requirements of the live broadcast platform with Su Ming.

The so-called software requirements refer to what the zoo wants to make the live broadcast platform look like, and what performance and functional requirements it has.

It took two days to discuss the requirements alone. Su Ming didn't need to worry about the next thing. He just had to wait for Shen Yan to come up with the live broadcast software as soon as possible. After the online platform was launched, Su Ming could take Nangong to travel.

"God bless, don't let anything happen this time!" Su Ming prayed secretly. If he stood Nangong up again, he might not have a good life in the future. If he waited any longer, it would be May Day.

During the period before the platform was launched, Su Ming was not idle. He contacted several famous zoos in China. The Capital Zoo and the Shanghai Zoo are currently the leaders of domestic zoos. In terms of scale, they are larger than the Yangchuan Zoo. There are still seven or eight left, such as the Shuzhong Zoo and the Coastal Zoo, which are at the same level as the Yangchuan Zoo.

It is good to learn from others' experience. These zoos are in the same industry. It is a good thing to learn from each other and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses. Moreover, although Su Ming is the deputy director, he is actually the helmsman of Yangchuan Zoo. He took the initiative to contact various zoos, which is quite respectful.

Even so, the reactions of these zoos are still different.

The Capital Zoo didn't pay much attention to Su Ming at all. The young man who answered the phone responded coldly for a few words, and even didn't say a polite word like "Welcome to exchange and investigate", and hung up the phone.

Shanghai Zoo was quite polite. When I heard that Yangchuan Zoo was also going to set up an online live broadcast platform, the person in charge of the other party also gave several suggestions.

But in the end, he still tactfully persuaded Su Ming that online zoos are risky and investment should be cautious. It seems that Shanghai Zoo has suffered a lot in this regard. I want to talk more deeply, but the other party refused to say anything more.

As for cooperation, let's not talk about it. People said very frankly that Shanghai Zoo is still too busy with its own business and has no extra energy to cooperate, and they don't make money from online platforms.

The two large zoos were more or less arrogant. After all, they were not on the same level as Yangchuan Zoo. Before the reform, they were still in the same "system". After the reform, the Yangchuan Zoo, which was in front of the two state-owned zoos, had a natural sense of superiority.

On the contrary, the smaller zoos were very enthusiastic. Not only did the leaders of the same level talk to Su Ming in person, but they also arranged middle-level cadres to maintain communication with Yangchuan Zoo afterwards. They agreed that they would visit each other if they had the opportunity in the future. They even set up a group.

There were not many people in the group, less than ten, and they were considered representatives of various zoos.

Su Ming talked to everyone about the idea of ​​running an online zoo.

The city where the coastal zoo was located was itself a big tourist city. The zoo was one of the famous attractions with a large passenger flow. The issue of online live broadcasting had not been considered. However, the coastal area has always led the trend of reform and is very interested in the new thing of online live broadcasting;

The Shuzhong Zoo was preparing to build an online platform last year and conducted a special survey, but it was still stuck on economic issues. After analysis, apart from the giant panda, there was really nothing special worth broadcasting.

The situation of several other zoos is similar. The Internet platform is a good thing for zoos, and all parties are very interested. However, before the benefits are clear, no one dares to invest rashly. This is not a one-time investment. It will cost a lot of money to maintain and promote it later. If it doesn't make money, the zoo will have to keep paying.

"You can't compare with Yangchuan. After your reform, you are economically independent. We all rely on government subsidies to make a living. We dare not do such a wasteful thing." Someone in the group said half-jokingly.

Although it was a joke, it can still be seen that the entire industry is not optimistic about online live broadcasting.

"We didn't do the whole park live broadcast last year, but we did a pilot in the panda area." The person in charge of Shuzhong Zoo said.

Immediately, someone asked: "How is the effect? ​​Does anyone watch it?"

The question is not whether it can make money, but whether anyone watches it. It seems that everyone knows that it is not reliable to expect to make money from this, and it is good enough to attract some attention.

"What the hell... In the first few days, the number of visitors increased rapidly, reaching a peak of hundreds of thousands per day. In less than two months, there was no interest anymore. Now... I checked... Now there are about 3,000 visitors per day..."

"Mr. Su, be careful!"

"Be sure to be careful! It's not easy to make money after the restructuring, don't waste your money on it!"

The team at the back was pretty good, and they all advised Su Ming to think twice and not to invest in the online platform rashly.
