Silicon Valley

Every Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is very sensational, with hundreds of millions of viewers. This time it was a live TV broadcast. After the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show became famous, the Internet speed almost increased. At that time, Henry could broadcast the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show through the Internet, and make the video software he built become an instant hit! ! !

It's not that Henry doesn't want to build a YouTube website directly, but the technical requirements of video websites are higher than video software! Video websites mainly use Adobe-Flash-Video technology to present various user-generated video content. However, flash was not realized until 1996, and it was finally acquired by Adobe. After some integration of technology and resources, Adobe-Flash-Video technology could be launched!

Adobe is actually a very famous company. Maybe some people don't know about Adobe, but they must have heard of one of their products, that is - photoshop software! ! !

P picture, generally use it!

At present, the Internet speed in the United States has generally reached 56kbps. If you really want to realize the online live broadcast of video software, Henry is not helpless!

Video formats already exist, such as avi, which will be released on Windows in 1992. However, this avi video format cannot be very good for online viewing, let alone live broadcast.

But in 1995, Rea-Networks released the rm streaming media video format, which can achieve uninterrupted video playback under the condition of dialing up the Internet with a 56K Modem. Unfortunately, this RM format comes at the expense of image quality!

However, the rm format can promote the development of online video software!

The rm format can realize instant playback. The principle is very simple. You can download a part of the video files from the server first, form a video stream buffer and play it in real time, and continue to download at the same time to prepare for the next playback. This "spread while broadcasting" method avoids the disadvantage that users must wait for the entire file to be downloaded from the Internet before watching it, so it is especially suitable for watching videos online!

Actually. The development of this rm format is not very difficult, and Henry can have someone develop it at any time. The common rm format uses a fixed bit rate encoding, which is not clear enough. What Henry has to do. Will let developers develop rmvb format, rmvb has one more vb than rm, vb refers to the meaning of dynamic code rate, because the bit rate under static pictures is reduced. The effect is much clearer than the rm format picture, and the clarity and fluency are not even worse than DVD! ! !

After the rm format was released that year, it became a smash hit! ! !

Not to mention the rmvb format!

The network speed is improved, the video format is powerful, and the p2p technology is awesome. The three are combined. Once the video software is available. Absolutely shocked the whole internet!

"What are you thinking? The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is about to start!" Kaelina asked Henry when she saw that he was in a daze.

"Oh, nothing!" Henry smiled and came back to his senses.

At this time, Victoria's Secret CEO Marcus Christie was speaking on the stage, announcing the official start of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Then, one by one, the hot and sexy models began to walk on the stage.

Henry observed the surrounding media reporters and guests, and found that their eyes were bright. Staring intently at the models on the runway, some people even swallowed saliva unconsciously! ! !

When the audience in front of American TV suddenly tuned to ABC, they were taken aback and said, oh! ! ! What is this... put on? Lingerie show? ! ! Oh, this model is so sexy, and the lingerie is gorgeous! ! !

The audience called their friends and asked them to change the channel quickly and switch to ABC TV to watch the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show!

For a time, the ratings of ABC TV station greatly increased!

"Did you see that model's flesh-colored transparent outfit, I suddenly rushed over with a desire to do it!!!"

"Hmph, laugh a fart, why don't you want to?"

A group of beauties are queuing up in the underwear store, and the eye-catching degree is really impressive. Many passing men stopped one after another! Every time I see a beauty choosing a certain underwear, my eyes can't help but light up!

Victoria's Secret soon became the most well-known underwear brand in the United States. The original parent company Limited-Brands clothing group company CEO Leslie suddenly regretted his bowels. If he knew that Victoria's Secret would be so popular, he would never sell it. company! ! !

During the time when Victoria's Secret was on fire, Kaelina got in touch with the organizer of the American Super Bowl professional football game, and said that she wanted to let the Victoria's Secret Angel walk the runway during the halftime. Fang didn't even think about it, without saying a word, he directly agreed without even charging any fees.

This kind of cooperation will benefit both parties, and the matter of expanding influence is naturally agreed with both hands! ! !

Kaelina told Henry the news, and Henry knew that Victoria's Secret was going to explode! ! !

There are N TV stations in the United States, and ABC TV has a limited audience, far less than the number of people who watch the American Super Bowl professional football game. Therefore, if Victoria's Secret can be performed during the competition, it will be watched by too many people. After the competition program is broadcast, Victoria's Secret will become a household name in the United States! ! !

Not to mention the United States, the Hong Kong side, ATV then broadcast the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which instantly caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong. The ratings exploded, reaching more than 70%. Victoria's Secret also entered Hong Kong and opened ten stores. Branch! ! !

That business is even hotter than the United States, and ten stores have long queues. Victoria's Secret underwear brand has become the most well-known luxury underwear brand in Hong Kong! ! ! Since Hong Kong is a sub-specialized financial center, many tourists come to Hong Kong for shopping every year, so the reputation of Victoria's Secret spread from here, and Victoria's Secret began to spread in mainland China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore and other places... …

In addition, the brand name of Victoria's Secret is very tempting, and it is easy to think of what is left after the secret is revealed...

The ten Asian sisters of "Miss Asia" are also very popular because of the special Asian show, and they are very popular!

In the subsequent "Miss Asia" championship and runner-up selection competition, it has aroused great concern and expectation from the Hong Kong people! ! !

For a time in Hong Kong, I only heard about "Miss Asia", but I didn't know there was "Miss Hong Kong"...

ATV is so popular, TVB's situation is getting more and more difficult. For a time, the number of job-hopping in the company surged. With the loss of talents, the decline of TVB has become inevitable...

In the Hong Kong stock market, TVB's share price has been falling, and some shareholders of the company have been eager to sell their shares!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that ATV has undergone earth-shaking changes after Henry Williams took over. TVB is far from an opponent. No matter what aspect, TVB has been beaten by ATV. With the loss of talents, the company has become more and more powerless!

In the past, TVB made a profit of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars every year, but only in the first half of 1991, TVB has already suffered huge losses, with a loss of 200 million Hong Kong dollars! Judging from the current situation, if TVB fails to make changes, the loss will be further intensified! ! !
