Chapter 120 Let Youxi make the decision

"Hi kids, do you still remember who I am? By the way, I am the actor who voices the blue cat - Ge Ping!"

As a representative work of domestic animation in the early years, "Blue Cat Naughty Questions" and its various derivatives are the childhood memories of many people born in the 80s and 90s. Its main feature is that it tells stories while skillfully combining some

Scientific knowledge, depending on the series, includes knowledge in various fields such as military, animals, and common sense of life.

However, with the development of the Internet era, netizens began to be active on various forums. Comments touting the Blue Cat series as the number one domestic animation masterpiece continued to emerge. Naturally, there were also many opposing voices. In addition, a series of sequels were released in recent years.

As the reputation gradually declined and controversies continued, Ge Ping, as the voice actor of the main popular character Blue Cat, also suffered a lot of pranks.

This ghost video uploaded to Station C is only 3 minutes long, but it has been viewed more than 3,000 times a week.

3,000 times may be as small as a mosquito in the Internet era where millions of views are common in future generations, but for Mei Fang and Lin Youxi, a small C site, it is simply a dimensionality reduction blow. They have been processing it urgently for several nights.

The problem of server crash due to traffic overload.

"Why is everyone talking about this kind of video?"

Lin Youxi also watched this "Ge Pao" ghost video herself. She didn't like it very much. "This kind of shoddy editing is just a spoof to attack Teacher Ge Ping. Why do everyone post such comments?"

happy?"

"I think it's a different perspective of appreciation."

Mei Fang explained, "For example, many people don't like heavy metal music and death punk, thinking it's noise, but there are also many people who enjoy it. You may find ghost and animal prank videos disgusting and normal, but some people just think it's normal.

It’s funny, after all, we all have a lot of pressure in our lives, and watching some videos of serious characters doing crazy things can relax us to a certain extent.”

"However, it is true that personal attacks are not good. This is good. But if the person involved says he doesn't mind, then it should be okay..."

Mei Fang himself doesn't actually like Gui Xiang's creative content. He only occasionally watches some funny ghost animals that are not very offensive, but he clearly remembers that this incident in his previous life was a very important circle-breaking event, but that year

It seemed that the incident happened at station A, but this time it happened at station C by chance.

Mei Fang saw that the number of people registered as official members in the background was soaring, from two or three per day in the past to forty or fifty per day now.

After becoming a formal member, it also means that they have the right to post comments and upload videos, but... having said that, are these bandwidth charges serious?

Streaming video websites often have to pay two parts of server fees, one part is the cost of storage resources, that is, the resources stored on your website, such as the videos uploaded by everyone and your account data.

Another cost is the bandwidth cost. Whether website users can play your videos smoothly online depends on the capacity of your bandwidth.

If your bandwidth is very small, but there are many users playing videos online at the same time, there will be insufficient bandwidth, resulting in lags.

Mei Fang previously used a 20M server bandwidth, which can support up to 100 people watching online videos at the same time without lag, and the monthly fee is 1,200 yuan; now he wants to increase the speed to 100M, and the price has soared to 10 yuan a year.

Ten thousand, that is, the monthly payment is 8,000.

No wonder many people say that building a video website is a waste of money. So where did Station A and Station B get so much money back then?

I really just rely on financing to survive!

After seeing the exaggerated cost of bandwidth, Mei Fang now feels that she made a mistake. On the one hand, Station C is indeed replicating the prosperity of the previous B station, but it does not have a very stable cash flow. As for Station C itself, it

It will take several years to make any money.

I created Station C because I was eager to occupy the Bizhan track that did not appear in my previous life. I was unable to devote much of my energy to game production. It was too early for BicCoin to play its role. My savings are now

Although it is quite scary, but considering the bandwidth of the video website, he does not have that much money to burn.

Mei Fang did not let Lin Youxi worry too much about money. He just asked her to concentrate on studying website technology. At the end of June 2010, Lin Youxi, who maintained the website operation, brought Mei Fang a piece of new news.

, she said that she received a private message from an Internet company called Manha Technology. Mei Fang had never heard of this company’s name in her previous life, but the other party offered to pay 100,000 yuan to buy the domain name of station C.

Plus the development source code of station C.

Mei Fang didn't panic when he received this, and didn't show too much excitement on his face. He looked at Lin Youxi who was looking at the private message.

"If the other party really buys it, are you willing to sell this website to him?"

Lin Youxi shook her head, "Afang made the website yourself, you decide on it."

"How could I do it?"

Mei Fang smiled and said, "I worked on the basic module with you from the beginning, and you will take care of all the time and energy for subsequent maintenance."

"But the money spent on the website belongs to Al Fang..."

"But I didn't pay you either, right?"

Lin Youxi stopped talking.

Mei Fang continued, "You have to know that the name of this site is Site C, and it is your website. You decide whether to sell it or not."

It is indeed a bit difficult and cruel for a child like Lin Youxi to make this decision. After all, it is already a great thing for a child to earn 100,000 yuan.

But selling it also means that all my hard work over the past few years has been turned into this little money.

Youxi has been studying streaming video website technology for a long time, and he roughly knows where he stands.

If she only values ​​this website so much, Mei Fang can't expect her to be able to lead station C to a farther distance on her own. It's better to pull her to concentrate on making games. In addition, there are many well-known game developers waiting for her.

Mei Fang went to invest.

"Afang...I still don't want to sell it."

Lin Youxi shook her head, "I think our C station should be able to go further. If we don't have enough money now, the bandwidth is fine as it is now. I can continue to play power leveling and deduct a little from my meal card.

Once the money comes out...as long as Station C can continue to build its reputation, we will be able to attract investment one day, what do you think?"

Mei Fang shook her head.

"The wheels of the times are moving forward. Now is the 3G era. If station C has to freeze even when playing 360p videos, it will lose its competitiveness in the market. If this continues, station C's brand will only get worse.

The worse the fight becomes, the less investment will be attracted."

"So...you think this website should be sold?"

Lin Youxi's expression looked a little lonely, "If A Fang thinks so too, then there is nothing we can do..."

"Ah, don't get me wrong."

Mei Fang explained, "What I mean is that station C must improve its bandwidth, otherwise it will not be able to continue to expand and attract large capital investment."

"But...just increasing the bandwidth to 100M will cost 10,000 yuan a month?"

"It doesn't matter...although I also think it's ridiculously expensive, but maybe it doesn't take a year to attract investment?"

"Afang... do you really have so much money?" Lin Youxi's eyes were very surprised, "Did... you earn it from gaming?"

Mei Fang nodded and smiled, "You just believe me."

Damn it, business plots are really hard to write

But if I don’t write it now, it will be very troublesome to fill in the gaps later.

Where theoretical knowledge is involved, I would like all-knowing readers to give me your opinions. My understanding of this is limited.

There will be another update later, I owe it to the leader.
Chapter completed!
