Behind the starry sky conversation is Zhang Chaoyang, who does not want to be marginalized

Sohu founder Zhang Chaoyang has become the top current of the recent Internet. On July 31, Zhang Chaoyang and Yu Minhong held a conversation under the starry sky. In this conversation, he not only found out the meaning of life with Yu Minhong, but also talked about the cosmic stars. In the conversation, Zhang Chaoyang also came out frequently. When experiencing the flying tray, Zhang Chaoyang answered "Why the Flying Plate Flying" for Yu Minhong and netizens by the way; looking up at the starry sky, he used the on -site blackboard to derive the distance from the Weber telescope to the earth to explain the meaning of Ragron's day point; When value, "people are going to toss" and "making money is not a goal" and other speeches, which also agreed with Yu Minhong.

However, it is in sharp contrast to the wonderful comparison of Zhang Chao's balcony. At present, Sohu's market value is only 600 million US dollars. Compared with the glory of Sohu, this market value has even fallen less than 10 %.

According to Sohu's financial report, in 2021, Sohu's online game revenue was US $ 638 million, accounting for 76.3%of the total revenue; in the first quarter of 2022, Sohu's online game revenue was 157 million US dollars, accounting for 81%of the total revenue. In contrast, the revenue of Sohu's online game for 2020 was $ 537 million, accounting for 71%of the total annual total revenue. Nowadays, Sohu, which has the only game and advertising income in the loss of Sogou, has a serious dependence on revenue on the game business.

Behind Zhang Chaoyang's wonderful performance on the Internet live broadcast platform is the helpless reality facing Sohu. The portal is the afterglow of the PC Internet era, and traffic dividends such as long videos and live broadcasts are gradually dissipating. Sohu developed with traditional models, it is difficult to leverage more users in the era of mobile Internet, and it is difficult to become "centers".

Selling Sogou's privatization and traveling, although Sohu has achieved a profit, it also makes Sohu more closed, and gradually falls into the edge of the Internet world.

Today's Sohu has lost the glory of the Internet in China, and Zhang Chaoyang cannot give the latecomers in the pose of the godfather like a godfather.

However, it is obvious that Zhang Chaoyang's open -minded attitude. Perhaps the complicated life experience created his Buddhist department. He has been in Tsinghua to stay in the ocean, has been the first Internet, and has experienced the bottom of his life. Although he took the lead step by step, he was overtaken everywhere. When others scrambled to choose to use the traffic effect to live and bring more value, Zhang Chaoyang's choice was to obey physics class and talk to the camera to talk about himself right. The insights of the universe in life.

Either teasing or telling, we must admit Zhang Chaoyang's personality charm, and we must see the reality he faces. For today's Zhang Chaoyang, more important things seem to be a marginal figure than making money.

Today's Sohu is far away from competition, and it seems difficult to stop being marginalized. So for Zhang Chaoyang, he doesn't want to be forgotten by the Internet world.
