Yu Dong has long known about the readers' grievances against themselves, and their mood is easy to understand. After all, in the eyes of these loyal readers, Yu Dong had an absolute dominance in the science fiction world in the past few years, but even so, Yu Dong has
I have never won a Nebula Award or a Hugo Award, let alone the top prize, and none of the inconspicuous minor awards.
If we must be serious, Yu Dong did win a Hugo Award. "Falling from Mars" was co-authored by Yu Dong and Hu Changqing. The names of Yu Dong and Hu Changqing were also written on the official Hugo Award winner list.
, even putting Yu Dong’s name in front.
But Yu Dong’s science fiction readers simply don’t recognize this award.
They believe that a separate award should be given to Yu Dong, and it must be for the best novel, not short or medium novels.
The officials of the Galaxy Award, Nebula Award and Hugo Award, these science fiction awards have all opened their own accounts in the Deep Space Tribe. This is not the first time that netizens have gone to the Nebula Award and Hugo Award accounts to ridicule them, but this time
The attack is just more fierce.
Yu Dong said with a smile, "Control the public opinion and let everyone pay more attention to "The Wandering Earth". It doesn't matter whether I win or not. It is more important for other Chinese science fiction writers to win."
Jimmy smiled and said nothing. He agreed with what Yu Dong said, because Yu Dong no longer needs awards such as the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award to prove him. If more Chinese science fiction writers can win the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award
, that is a good thing for the Chinese science fiction community and their company.
If Chinese science fiction writers are pushed further, the IPs they hold will be easier to develop.
But from a personal perspective, Jimmy still hopes that Yu Dong can win all valuable awards.
"By the way, after the video came out, Spielberg called me and said he wanted to see it first. Didn't you promise to show it to him in advance?"
"Well, that's what happened, but why didn't he come to me?" Yu Dong said.
"I thought you must still be sleeping at that time, so you contacted me first. I estimate that he will contact you soon."
"Don't let him contact me, just show him the manuscript."
"That's okay. I'll call him and talk about it later. I guess that after reading this novel, he will definitely ask for it to be adapted and filmed. If he mentioned this, what would you think?
?”
"There's no rush, just wait and see. I have no plans to make "WALL-E" into a movie in the short term."
"Okay, I know."
…
In the office of the president of Lenovo Group, Yang Qing demonstrated the video playback effect of Deep Space Tribe to Yanagawa Yuki.
After reading it, Yanagawa narrowed his eyes and asked, "Can our website also achieve such an effect?"
Yang Qing shook his head, "I asked the technology department. If you just want to play videos, there is actually no technical difficulty. You only need to download the flash plug-in in the user's computer. In fact, the latest version of flash is particularly suitable for this kind of cross-platform cross-platform cross-platform communication.
Video playback on the website has very low bandwidth requirements. Hong Bo from the technology department told me that because of the characteristics of flash, it will become popular in the next few years, but flash is actually secretly controlled by Deep Space
, and they have done targeted research and development for video playback on the website, so the smoothness of Deep Space Tribe video playback is difficult for others to achieve at the moment.”
Yanagawa raised his eyes and said, "In other words, this function of their website cannot be imitated by others even if they want to."
"In the short term, that's what it looks like."
Yang Qing sighed slightly. What is inimitable about the Deep Space Tribe is not only the video upload and playback function. Their search engine is also a higher level than other websites. The Deep Space Company seems to have been targeting search engines a long time ago.
Conduct research and development.
While others were just beginning to explore search engines, Deep Sky was already researching recommendation engines. Why couldn’t AOL’s tribal website compete with Deep Sky Tribe? In addition to Deep Sky Tribe appearing first, it was also because of Deep Sky Tribe’s search results.
The engine and recommendation engine are not as good as Deep Space Tribe.
Yanagawa let out a long sigh, "It seems that Deep Space Company's contact with streaming media and development of recommendation engines is an overall strategic plan. They should have determined their goals very early."
"That's true, and they seem to have accomplished it. However, we still don't know the purpose of their acquisition of BenQ Dentsu. Are they really trying to cooperate with Acer to fight against us?"
The more Yang Qing said, the weaker his voice became, because he himself felt that this idea was too conceited. Even if Deep Space Company wanted to cooperate with Acer, there was no need to spend so much money to acquire BenQ Dentsu.
In fact, if Deep Space just wants to win in the Internet industry, there is no need to cooperate with Acer.
After this period of practice, Lenovo Group is no longer as confident as when it first started shouting slogans.
Computers are indeed the portal to the Internet, but this portal is not exclusive to them. Users can move their positions at any time, and even if users enter the Internet from their associated portal, they have no control over where they go next.
Deep Space Company has been deployed in the Internet industry too early. It is too difficult for Lenovo to catch up now. Yanagawa and Yang Qing are also aware of this. In addition, AOL cannot provide them with any substantial help.
, their attitude towards the Deep Space Company has also changed a lot now.
But the current situation is very embarrassing, that is, they want to repair their relationship with Deep Space Company, but Deep Space Company is ignoring them.
Yanagawa pondered for a while and said, "Let our technical department also start studying the video function."
Yang Qing frowned, "The current video function still relies on flash, and flash is in the hands of Deep Space. Is it possible that they will choke us? What if..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yanagawa shook his head, "Probably not. If deep space were to choke us, it wouldn't be just us. Taking a step back, even if they might later
Our neck is stuck, and we must take a step forward when we should, and we must not be timid. Since the Deep Space Company has no intention of cooperating with us, then we must be prepared to fight with them for a long time. The top priority is that we must
First, we need to find out whether Deep Space Company really has the idea and determination to enter the semiconductor industry. Only by understanding this can we determine the strategy to deal with them."
Yang Qing nodded and said, "I understand this. According to my speculation, after Deep Space acquires BenQ Dentsu, it is very likely that it will use BenQ Dentsu to enter the display field. Before they acquired BenQ Dentsu, they had contacted BOE.
They seem to be very interested in LCD screens."
"You mean the LCD screen?" Yanagawa asked unexpectedly.
"Well, LCD screens, and BenQ Dentsu has related business and technology."
Yanagawa held his chin with one hand and tapped the table gently with the other hand. After a while, he said, "We don't have to worry. Although BenQ Dentsu has a wide range of businesses, they are actually semi-finished products. If Deep Space Company really
If they want to develop in a certain field, they will definitely not be able to rely on existing technology alone. They must also make some big moves. And as long as they make any big moves, they will definitely not be able to hide it from our eyes."
"I understand." Yang Qing nodded, and then added, "Today, Li Yang from the marketing department came again to ask how the company's movie production is going."
Yanagawa thought for a while, then finally waved his hand and said, "Let me think about this again."
Lenovo's ambitions have long been not only in the PC field, they want to expand more business. In recent years, the Internet industry has been their second focus.
But when its entry into the Internet industry was blocked, Lenovo was also thinking about whether there were other ways to go.
Some people support entering agriculture, some support entering the mobile phone field, and some support entering the film and television industry.
Why do you support entering the film and television industry? In fact, we still see that Deep Space Company is making a lot of money from movies, and the domestic film and television industry is also booming, and it is now a hot spot.
Yanagawa was also a little moved, but he had scruples in his heart because Deep Space Company had absolute dominance in the domestic film and television industry.
Lenovo wants to enter the film and television industry. If Deep Space Company blocks them, it will be easy.
In the Internet industry, Yanagawa feels that there is still some hope of defeating Deep Space, but in the film and television industry, he does not think Lenovo has any chance.
But Yanagawa still couldn't bear to let it go. In addition to the booming development of the film and television industry, he also took a fancy to the medium of film and television dramas.
Lenovo spends so much money on advertising and marketing every year. Can it save part of the advertising costs to make movies and TV series and achieve publicity effects?
Yang Qing also knew Yanagawa's inner struggle. Two years ago, they would never have thought that Lenovo would reach such an embarrassing position because of Deep Space. They wanted to follow Deep Space's footsteps, but at the same time prevent Deep Space from doing so.
Jam their necks.
…
There are two hottest news in the United States in the past two days. One is the news that the Deep Space Company has added video capabilities and the new book "Wall-E", and the other is related to the stock market.
After March, many listed companies began to publish their annual and quarterly reports, and the annual and quarterly reports of these companies in the Internet industry were not very good.
It stands to reason that the performance of online retailers should be very good during Christmas and New Year's Day, but judging from the annual and quarterly reports, the performance of retailers is far lower than people's previous expectations.
This is very bad news for investors.
For a time, the stock market was turbulent, and basically all industries related to the Internet experienced a certain degree of decline.
There are all kinds of news flying all over the place, some positive and some negative.
Of course, because there are so many companies involved, the magnitude of the decline in the stocks of each company is completely incomparable with Amazon's decline. At first glance, it does not seem to be particularly serious.
But when Jimmy saw this wave of decline, he knew very well that the bubble burst could no longer be stopped.
The current stock market is like a big stone that has just slid down the hillside. Everything has just begun, and the stone is not falling very fast.
But as time goes by, the stock market will fall faster and faster, and eventually it will be so fast that no one can stop it.
There is not much time left for investors. As long as they hesitate for a while, they will be stuck in the quagmire.
But all this has nothing to do with Jimmy. Although they still hold some stocks in their hands, they are no longer ready to sell these stocks. If they fall, they will fall. In the future, Deep Space Company will not have much in the stock market.
operate.
Although Deep Sky is not taking any action in the stock market for the time being, it has taken other actions.
Just when the news that the Internet industry is about to go bankrupt is rampant, Deep Space Company has announced that the Star Card will include Amazon in the points plan. In the future, as long as you hold Deep Space points, you can purchase what you want on the Amazon website.
Everything.
That's right, everything, as long as the product is listed on the Amazon website, in addition to the normal price, there will be an extra point price.
From this point on, Deep Space Points are completely linked to cash. At least on the Amazon website, Deep Space Points are no different from cash.
At this time, Deep Space Company suddenly announced such a piece of news, which made people in the industry have some associations.
This announcement is obviously to save Amazon, but most people think that Deep Space's rescue action is a little too late. They should have announced this news in January or February.
If this news had been announced at that time, I believe many people would have more confidence in Amazon, and Amazon's stock would not have fallen so severely, and there would still be a possibility of a comeback.
But now that the Internet industry has been generally looked down upon, Deep Space’s announcement is meaningless. Even with this announcement, people will not regain confidence in Amazon, and it may even have a counterproductive effect.
At this time, some people came to rescue the market. Some people thought that this meant that the Deep Space Company also felt that the problem was serious, so it took action.
Therefore, after Deep Space issued this announcement, Amazon's stock not only did not rise at all, but fell a little further.
Alan Abelson, a well-known financial expert who previously criticized Amazon, published an article in Barron's with the title "Belated water can't put out any fire."
In the article, Abelson described deep space words as a long-awaited rescue of the fire, and mocked the deep space company, saying that even a rookie who had just entered the investment industry would not do this.
Abelson even quoted a Chinese idiom "fighting the fire with a salary". He said that the deep space company's move would not only fail to save Amazon, but would also push Amazon into an abyss, and Amazon's stock would keep falling.
