Recently, Su Ze has had such an idea more than once, and has made today's headlines or Douyin.It's also because he is too busy and doesn't pay too much attention to the latest developments on the Internet, today's headlines have been launched, although this popularity is not comparable to "Onmyoji", and even "Tujia" is famous."
Mr.
Zhang, I have used today's headlines, and the experience is very good."
If according to the original trajectory of time and space, Su Ze is still at least three years away from the day of downloading today's headlines, of course, this will not affect his mouth, and Zhang Yiming on the other side will never open his mobile phone in person to verify the authenticity of this statement.This is a software based on personalized recommendation engine technology, according to each user's interests, location and other dimensions of personalized recommendations, its recommendation content not only includes news in a narrow sense, but also includes music, movies, games, shopping and other information.The difference between it and traditional portals is that the news of the portal is in a fixed format for a period of time, while Toutiao is intelligently and randomly recommended according to the user's preferences.Zhang Yiming was a little surprised, so he replied: "Thank you Mr.
Su for your kind words, now the number of users has just exceeded 30 million, and the company is preparing for Series B financing." ”Su Ze replied: "I believe that after the B round, Toutiao will become a force that cannot be underestimated in the Internet of China." ”He quietly continued to give the other party a compliment, but he was muttering that the project team of this "Douyin" can be established, and the 4G network will come out at the beginning of next year, and the product can basically be formed by then, and it can be seamlessly connected.Su Ze knows very well that the golden age of mobile Internet has not really arrived, and it will not attract a real peak until the popularization of 4G networks.In today's 3G background, it is not impossible to want "Douyin" to become popular, but it lacks some software and hardware conditions, so he has been dragging it out with a little peace of mind until he saw Zhang Yiming today, and he had a sense of crisis.At this time, all the company's technical personnel were invested in the research and development of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", and there was no surplus manpower to form a new project team, so the "Douyin" plan was delayed again and again."
We can't put it off any longer."
Su Ze glanced at Zhang Yiming quietly, and secretly made up his mind, this time he came to the business cocktail party, and it seemed that he had gained a lot.In fact, from the user's point of view, Douyin and Toutiao have similarities, both can randomly and intelligently promote familiar people or videos you like."
Mr.
Zhang, as entrepreneurs born in the 80s, we should encourage and support each other."
He smiled slightly, "Although Toutiao is just getting started, its concept is very prominent, and I think its potential is very large, and when users get used to this model, its value will be limitless." ”Chicken soup?
Maybe, but it makes sense.Zhang Yiming also felt that his concept was quite advanced, so he nodded silently."
Three years!"
Su Ze stretched out three fingers, "I believe that within three years, 'Toutiao' will become a pivotal product in the Chinese Internet, and its value alone will exceed that of today's three major portals." ”"Mr.
Su is really overpraised."
Zhang Yiming smiled a little embarrassedly.He originally just wanted to say hello to Su Ze, and then make a familiar face, but he didn't expect the other party to give him such a high evaluation.Is this trying to kill yourself?
But there doesn't seem to be anything on his body that is worth coveting from the other party."
Does Brother Su want to invest in Toutiao?"
It was Brother Dong who spoke, although Su Ze is not a big man in the industry today, but now he does have the qualifications of an angel investor.However, the truth is that Su Ze simply doesn't have the spare money to invest in Toutiao, or to be more precise, the ByteDance behind it.Without Douyin's ByteDance, even if there is still potential for appreciation, it has been greatly discounted, why is he doing this?"
I've thought about investing, but the funds are tight, I want to establish a film company, I want to build a theme park, and I want to develop new games, and I haven't considered the angel investor for the time being."
Half of 2013 has passed, and there are not many products that can be invested in and have huge room for appreciation."
Brother Su's vision has always been very accurate.""
It's not the same thing to do it yourself and watch someone else do it."
He replied to Dong Ge in an easy-to-understand manner, and continued, "I am optimistic about Toutiao because of the innovation in the concept, which should be able to blossom and bear fruit within three years."
I'm sure Mr.
Zhang thinks so too. ”Of course, Zhang Yiming has full confidence in his products, but the market situation is always ever-changing, and there are many examples of creative products that eventually fail and sink into the sand.As for Su Ze's insistence, he agrees.Having come to this point, it is impossible to give up halfway."
Mr.
Zhang, our company has recently developed a shooting mobile game called "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", and is also preparing to launch a chocolate product called "Ice and Snow Lovers", plus Tujia, the most popular homestay website today, three advertising orders, are you interested in long-term cooperation?"
Zhang Yiming was a little moved, and asked: "Su always wants to advertise in today's headlines?"
”This product that has just started is now really a period of crazy money-burning, and the company's income source is very small, but I didn't expect to meet a big financier today!"
Yes."
Su Ze smiled slightly, "Although I don't have the funds to finance you, I can support your career in another way by advertising it."
But we need to sign a VAM agreement. ”Between the words, he glanced at Liu Qidong quietly, and he understood that he left with a wine glass.This is a business negotiation, and he should really avoid it."
Xiaoxue, give me my phone."
Su Ze suddenly turned around and said.Ouyang Xue took out her boyfriend's mobile phone from her pocket."
I was worried about being disturbed by unnecessary calls, so I kept letting my girlfriend hold her phone."
Su Ze smiled indifferently after taking the phone, and the real situation was that he secretly handed the phone to his girlfriend just now, and then blinked.Ouyang Xue, who was smart about ice and snow, naturally understood, and then quietly downloaded today's headlines, and also registered an account to help Su Zeyuan out of this panic.Zhang Yiming saw today's headlines on Su Ze's mobile phone and believed what he said.It seems that the other party has really downloaded it, and it's not untargeted."
What kind of VAM agreement does Mr.
Su want?""
In three years, I need to see you have over 50 million active users!
If you can't, you have two options. ”"Which two?""
Get half of the advertising fee back, or drain traffic to one of my products for free for 3 years."…… ()
