HPDBC Chapter 38 Your capital tactics are too rudimentary.
Chapter 38 Your capital tactics are too rudimentary.
Lin Yu shook his head.
He hovered his finger above the Enter key.
"If my algorithm can reduce bandwidth costs by 50% for all the streaming companies that Sequoia Capital has invested in."
Lin Yu looked at Gu Feiyang, his tone as calm as if he were asking about the weather, "How much money are you betting?"
The auditorium fell into a deathly silence.
Reduce bandwidth costs by 50%?
What does this mean? Giants like Tencent and ByteDance spend tens of billions of dollars on bandwidth every year! If that could be cut in half, that would be tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars in net profit annually!
"impossible!"
The presenter from the Jingbei team shouted out from the audience, "Reducing bandwidth by 50% and still maintaining 1080P quality? Do you think video data is water, something you can squeeze out whenever you want?!"
Gu Feiyang sneered, "Lin Yu, if you can do it, I, Gu Feiyang, will eat this screen right here and now. Sequoia Capital will even invest a hundred million in you!"
"No need to eat the screen."
Lin Yu pressed down with his index finger and struck the Enter key heavily.
"Just make sure you have the money ready."
"Smack."
The crisp sound of the Enter key being pressed was amplified through the microphone on the podium.
The black command line window on the right side of the large screen disappeared instantly, replaced by the same live broadcast.
Left: Original stream. Right: Transcoded stream after processing with the singularity algorithm.
To the naked eye, the two scenes appear exactly the same. Every movement of the game character and every scroll of the bullet screen is perfectly synchronized, without any stuttering, pixelation, or loss of image quality.
However, the data monitoring charts at the bottom of the screen showed a chilling change.
The blue bandwidth curve representing the singularity algorithm, at the moment of access, seems to have encountered a falling object from a great height, showing a perfect 90-degree vertical drop!
8000kbps.
4000kbps.
2000kbps.
Finally, it stabilized at a stable 800kbps!
One-tenth!
While maintaining the original 1080P quality at 60 frames per second, the Singularity algorithm compresses the data stream to one-tenth of its original size!
In other words, bandwidth costs have not decreased by 50%, but by 90%!
"drop--"
Wang Lei accessed the CPU load table in the background.
"Transcoding latency: 0.2 milliseconds. Server CPU single-core utilization: 1.5%!" Wang Lei shouted, his voice cracking as he looked at the numbers on the screen.
The entire room fell silent.
Silence reigned.
Two seconds later, the technical directors of major internet companies sitting in the front row of the guest seats jumped up as if they had been electrocuted.
Holy crap!
The CTO of Tencent Video cursed and slammed his chair onto the stage, yelling, "This is impossible! How can it not even use the CPU! What kind of chip did you use?"
"No chip acceleration."
Xia Zijing stood to the side and spoke calmly, "Pure software algorithm. Based on the spatial folding of high-dimensional topological manifolds. We didn't compress the data; we only changed the arrangement path of the data in three-dimensional space."
Gu Feiyang's cold smile froze. He suddenly stood up, and in his haste, he knocked over a teacup on the table. Tea spilled all over the table, but he didn't even notice.
"Fake...it's definitely cache fraud!"
Gu Feiyang pointed at the large screen, his voice losing its usual composure, "You downloaded the video beforehand and stored it locally to fake a live stream!"
Lin Yu completely ignored him.
He pulled four black USB drives out of his pocket and casually tossed them to the technical directors from major companies who rushed over from below the stage.
"This contains the packaged SDK test interface."
Lin Yu put one hand in his pocket. "You brought your own computers, right? Plug them in and test your company's top-secret intranet videos. I'll give you three minutes."
The directors of the four major companies were overjoyed and immediately took out their laptops, plugged in USB drives, and began stress testing.
Less than two minutes.
The vice president of Tencent slammed his laptop shut with trembling hands, then abruptly looked up at Lin Yu with bloodshot eyes.
"Seriously...it's completely real-time transcoding! Zero packet loss!"
The vice president of Tencent, his voice hoarse, announced, "Mr. Lin, Tencent is willing to pay 50 million to buy the exclusive license for this technology!"
"Dream on! ByteDance is offering 80 million!"
"Alibaba is offering 100 million yuan to relocate the entire tech team to Hangzhou, all at the P9 level!"
crazy.
The entire auditorium was completely out of control. The investors and corporate executives who were once high and mighty now surrounded the stage like hungry wolves clutching at a straw.
The Jingbei team, who had been smug just moments before, was now completely forgotten in a corner, their faces ashen. Their 10% reduction in technology was like a primitive man's bone club facing a modern Gatling gun in the face of a 90% reduction.
Dimensional reduction attack. This is pure dimensional reduction attack.
"Twenty million RMB, for a 10% stake!"
A clear, cool female voice pierced through the noise.
Shen Yue strode confidently onto the stage in her high heels. Her gaze was fixed intently on Lin Yu; she didn't discuss acquisitions, but directly offered venture capital as a bargaining chip.
"In addition to the full support of Sequoia's public relations and legal resources across the Asia Pacific region."
Shen Yue stopped. "Lin Yu, I know you won't sell the core technology. You want to start your own company. Sequoia will be your backer."
Gu Feiyang finally snapped out of his shock.
The technology is real! This technology is powerful enough to revolutionize the entire industry!
We absolutely cannot let Shen Yue steal this credit, otherwise his position at Sequoia will be completely ruined!
"Lin Yu!"
Gu Feiyang pushed through the crowd, putting on an extremely sincere smile. "I misjudged you earlier! Sequoia Capital is also very sincere. I'll offer 30 million! A 20% stake, and I'll reserve a veto right for you on the board of directors!"
He didn't forget to maintain his investor persona, attempting to gain control on the verge of taking over.
Lin Yu looked down at Gu Feiyang.
He approached the edge of the podium, his eyes as cold as ice.
"I don't lack money."
Lin Yu spoke, his voice not loud, but it instantly silenced everyone around him, "But I lack a clean working environment."
Lin Yu turned to look at Xia Zijin.
Xia Zijin understood immediately and tapped a few keys on the laptop keyboard.
The live stream on the big screen disappeared. In its place was a clear screenshot of the backend system logs.
"This is the server backend operation record for the preliminary review of the Challenge Cup at the school level," Lin Yu pointed to the screen.
The following rows of data are highlighted in red:
[IP address: 192.168.xx. Action: Force overwrite score sheet. Score before modification: 96. Score after modification: 42.]
Operator's account linked email: gfy
Gu Feiyang's pupils suddenly contracted, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Your approach to capital is too simplistic."
