Earlier this year, entrepreneurs interviewed employees, executives, partners and friends in Xin Wang before the fast broadcast, trying to restore the story.
At present, the Xin Wang case has not yet entered the trial, and the related 260 million sky-high administrative penalty case has not yet been finalized. The original fast broadcast staff parted ways, and both the Yun Fan team and the game team established their own portals. Some former executives started new adventures. The original site of Fast Broadcast has undergone two rounds of changes, and new companies have entered.
At this time, a friend of Xin Wang provided us with the following article. Perhaps, it can give us a more comprehensive understanding of the real Xin Wang and fast broadcast.
Xin Wang in the eyes of his wife: He is a man who sticks to his ideals.
We were introduced by classmates in Shenzhen. Xin Wang was born in an ordinary family of miners' children in Hunan. We originally lived in Shenzhen with two bedrooms and one living room, and shared it with others in Honghu Street. We have two children. At that time, the fast broadcast company was ready to be established, and he was all engaged in renting and decorating. I will help the children after the full moon. Fast broadcast was established in 65438+February (editor's note: it was in 2007). He has little time to take care of the children, who are taken care of by his grandmother. I am in charge of administration and finance.
He is persistent and easy-going. He is not a very strong person, respects other people's ideas and is very filial. He takes his parents to Shenzhen for the winter every year. He seldom socializes or travels often. His biggest hobby is fishing. He goes fishing with friends and family. Even his fishing is "technical". He loves to learn to read books and study Japanese fishing tackle. His friends call him a "master".
Xin Wang first came from Constant Wave Communication and did instant messaging, which was earlier than Tencent. In 2002-2003, Shenzhen Dianshi Technology Co., Ltd. had only a few technical youths at first, each with a salary of several hundred yuan, and wanted to make products. At that time, they started from R&D and wanted to do P2P. They can't afford to rent an office, and their office locations are borrowed. At that time, it was also the most embarrassing time for the economy. He and I have no money. For a while, we took out the money in the piggy bank to buy some food and went home to cook.
Dianshi Company is located on the 6th floor of Building 4 18 in Huaqiang North. Xin Wang thought a lot. He believes that it should be developed from the perspective of users. As long as the user can think of it, he wants to realize it, so that everyone can watch the video content of the Internet for free through TV. This is his ideal for the box (now fast broadcast Xiao Fang).
Because Xin Wang always wanted to make boxes, he was introduced to Chen Tianqiao. Chen took a fancy to his idea and went to Shanghai for more than a year. At that time, the treatment given by Shanda was stable and the housing was very good. I remember that the rent of the house was three or four thousand yuan a month.
But in the end, he didn't do it, because the company was big and it was difficult to agree. He didn't think much about the treatment for his technical ideal, but he still returned to the company. Dianshi was still there. After he went to Shanda, he gave Dianshi to another vice president. After he came back, there was no place for him in the company. At that time, he had been away for more than a year, and many things could not be answered. When waiting in line, all employees stood on the side of the vice president. Xin Wang has only one booth for ordinary employees ... Because Dianshi was founded by him, he is very depressed.
When the economy was not good at the worst, I borrowed some money from my parents. Although he was confused during this time, he never thought of giving up and kept on. Once, he suddenly thought of the side broadcast mode. He told me excitedly that I didn't understand it at the time, but I still supported him, both professionally and financially.
Xin Wang in the eyes of friends: He is an ordinary person who is full of interest in life.
Lao Zhang: I knew him ten years ago. At that time, he was shy but persistent. Now he is mature, has a high strategic vision, and has the ability to make an earth-shattering career on the Internet in China.
Jason Chung: This is a business done by three people in a farmer's house. We started our business from a room in the sunshine of the city, where there are long queues of elevators every day. At that time, there were few Internet technicians, and we liked watching movies. What we want is how to make it smoother and more convenient. He is a man with national feelings and patriotic feelings. As a leader, he will bring his ideas to the whole enterprise and all employees. Fishing is his greatest hobby. He is a fisherman and wants to sail to Diaoyu Island to fish. In fact, he is an ordinary person who is very interested in life.
Xiao: In order to make money, fast broadcast must be more than 300 million yuan, and it is possible to double the money. However, Xin Wang has been focusing on making products and caring about the user experience, and is unwilling to implant more advertisements and e-commerce things. He made it clear at the annual meeting that we should do innovative things well. You don't care about money, just make products, design products and do it well! He has always wanted to do innovative things, including making hardware and playing games. If these were done earlier, maybe today would be very different. Xin Wang is not a mercenary. He also buys lunch beds for employees.
Little B: A perfectionist and an extremist. He wants to make the product well. Fast broadcast Xiao Fang, we lose ten yuan for every one we sell, but he still promotes it vigorously. He attaches great importance to the user experience, meets the needs of users and wants to bring the best to home users. By 20 12-20 13, he can completely ignore the products, and the income can be used for enjoyment and fishing, and he doesn't have to make products anymore, but he doesn't. 20 12 he also tried to split the company. That year, he really didn't come to hand over the company to others. He can stop thinking about making money, and he can enjoy himself. He still came back to stay up late with us. After he came back, he also made many innovations, including the box and the acquisition of two game teams, not entirely for making money.
A close friend talks about Fast Broadcast: It wants to be China's Adobe.
From June 5438 to February 2007, Fast Broadcasting was established, which was the starting point for two or three technical youths to realize their ideals together. At that time, he rented a small house in the sunshine of Chegong Temple, and his wife helped with tax returns, with a monthly management fee. In 2009, I got my first investment and moved to the office building of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
He is very concerned about media technology at home and abroad. His ideal at that time was to be his own player and surpass Realplay. Realplay is foreign and copyrighted, so it is easy to get stuck by us. For example, DVD is a format of digital decoding, and each format is copyrighted abroad. We want to use its copyright, those patent companies charge, and each chip actually pays.
Wang Xin wants to make our own "universal player", which can open all formats. BT (editor's note: a data download method) was very popular at that time, but it was downloaded and then watched. Now the technology is playing while downloading, and the technology is much ahead. Towards the ideal of "China people want to use their own players", the proprietary format qmv+ applied for a patent, which also formed a unique technology in China. Before this technological innovation (watching while watching), foreign players dominated the world, and now the top ten are all China companies. Fast broadcast is a leader and innovator in this industry.
In terms of application and promotion, the fast broadcast has been accelerated for 5 seconds. Originally, it took 15-20 seconds to play the video, but fast broadcast created a case that the finished product took only 5 seconds, saving more traffic and money. Fast broadcast even created its own QVOD format. Although Xin Wang already has his own player, he still wants to make his own box, that is, a small square for fast broadcast.
Previously, realplay blacklisted many China players (such as QQ Audio, Baidu Audio and Storm Video) because China had been using pirated products. At the beginning, everyone used Thunder, which means that they had to download it to watch it, while fast broadcast only took 5- 10 seconds. If each person saves half an hour every day, it can be said that fast broadcast saves all China people two thousand years on the basis of thunder, which is a revolutionary change promoted by the core of fast broadcast. With the appearance of fast broadcast, realplay has gradually drifted away in China market.
Xin Wang's ideal is to turn Qvod into China's Adobe (foreign Internet technology company). In terms of business form, Fast Broadcast wants to be a national and own thing, and making money is not the biggest purpose. At present, the application of Adobe is still very high, for example, its product flash is still dominating the world. Now every computer in China has flash, otherwise you can't see the video, which is actually a hidden danger for China.
However, there are many unfamiliar innovations in fast broadcast ... Before the accident of fast broadcast, fast broadcast has made a unique format, which is through the new mode of e-commerce and the format of qmv+. Its advantage is to find the same paragraph-that is, to combine video with e-commerce and put Internet video shopping in qmv+ format. This is a very promising thing: fan economy! For example, the same bag of the heroine in the video, with a little instant search, has unlimited business opportunities.
The fast broadcast "Flow Ore" came out on February 7, 20 13. The core of the whole company last year was to do this-a new business model, collecting idle bandwidth and then applying it. For example, office workers go to work during the day and sleep at night, and they can exchange gifts when they are not using the Internet at home. For enterprises in need, very cheap bandwidth can be obtained. Fast Broadcast is likely to collect the idle resources of agreement users and make money at the discount of 5 yuan.
After 2009, the fast broadcast is still doing the game business, and then the hardware business, so it is not all in the video business. Fast Broadcast Company also focuses on the big screen and Little Square (winning the German Red Dot Design Award, which is equivalent to the Oscar in the design field). Fast broadcast has done a lot of things. From the hardware point of view, it is to serve the user's family in an all-round way.
