Rebirth: I Want to Surf

The party that night was three people.

Milner had a good talk with Lei Jun and decided to invest in Yuetuan.

He manages a large amount of funds from mysterious sources in the United States and Russia. He is a bit of a double-sided white glove. He looks for projects all over the world. China has the greatest potential and the widest market.

After eating, Yao Yuan and Lei Jun chatted alone again.

The effect of flash benefits is very good, it has activated the stagnant group buying market, but it is not limited to this. There is no good idea for this track. When all 9BATs are on the table, the rest is to grit your teeth and stick to the end.

99 is a three-front battle, group buying, takeaway, and payment.

Next is the battlefield of food delivery and payment.

"I found you a TV show, can you see if you are interested?"

Yao Yuan handed over a brochure, and Lei Jun took it over to take a look. It said "Win in China's Blue Sky and Clear Water", and wondered, "Win in China" is on air again?"

"It's not a rebroadcast. It's a new show. Umi.com and Jiangsu Satellite TV are cooperating. If you're going, you'll be a special guest. Only one episode will be recorded, and it will help farmers sell agricultural products or something."

"Okay, I'm very interested!"

Lei Jun readily agreed, to be an Internet celebrity, it is best to be on TV.

"That's fine, I'll ask Yu Jiajia to arrange a script for you and make some jokes."

The owner of Youmi.com is Wang Lifen. As mentioned earlier, Yao Yuan and Brother Xiao Ma competed on the same stage at the Mobile Internet Conference, and the host was Wang Lifen.

She used to work for CCTV and planned a commercial reality show called "Win in China".

Ma Yun, Shi Yuzhu, Yu Minhong, Liu Chuanzhi and other big names have all come to be judges. The contestants explained their projects, passed rounds, and finally selected 6 people.

The champion can be managed by a company with a registered capital of not less than 10 million. I will act as the CEO and own 20%-50% of the shares. The runner-up is 7 million, the third, fourth and fifth are 5 million, and the sixth is 3 million.

This is actually an imitation of a reality show in the United States called "The Apprentice". The protagonist is Trump, and he finds some young business elites as apprentices to complete tasks and so on.

The winner can take a $250,000-a-year job at Trump Corporation.

At first glance, $250,000 isn't that high. How can business elites value such money?

This is a typical Internet era, where consumerism is rampant, resulting in a kind of group thinking: people with a monthly income of 5,000 think that driving an Audi A6 is very low!

Please, for ordinary people, the Audi A6 is the ceiling for buying a car.

An annual salary of 250,000 US dollars is quite acceptable in the United States, not to mention that "The Apprentice" was a program in 2004, and the purchasing power of the dollar would be even stronger.

Having said that, although "Win in China" is a reference, the localization is very good.

After the broadcast, it was very popular. Many of the contestants in it really succeeded in starting their own businesses, but they disappeared after three seasons. I won’t go into details about the reasons.

Wang Lifen resigned from CCTV and founded Umi.com, and wanted to restore its glory, so he got Jiangsu Satellite TV to make a "Win in China's Blue Sky and Clear Water".

The show is okay, anyway, Lei Jun will not lose money if he goes up to play.

There are a total of two special guests, and the other Yao Yuan wants to get Liu Qiangdong up, let Lei Jun and Liu Qiangdong each be the captain, real person PK.

He had his own fun.

…………

The long-lost Zhichun Road.

The Yingshi Building stood there alone, as was Sigma who was stationed opposite Tencent Video. As soon as Yao Yuan moved, the GDP of the whole street exploded, and even a cafe was closed.

But in the business apartment attached to Yingshi Building, a small company is rising rapidly and full of vitality.

Early this morning, Zhang Yiming, with messy hair, came to "ByteDance", wearing a T-shirt, jeans, carrying a large bag, and standard programmer equipment.

He is from Longyan, Fujian, and is a fellow villager with Wang Xing. He used to work on Wang Xing's fanfou.com.

After going through many companies, I founded ByteDance last year, which is located in an ordinary community called "Jinqiu Homeland" on Zhichun Road.

R\u0026D, finance, and design are divided into different bedrooms. The meeting room is only five square meters. If you cook a few more pots during the dinner, it will trip. But this is Zhichun Road, the Universe Entrepreneurship Center!

Relying on his years of work experience and unique creativity in algorithms, Zhang Yiming started quickly and successfully obtained a round A financing of US$1 million. This year, he moved to a commercial apartment in Yingshi Building.

Originally, I made an appointment with Milner to meet today, but I didn't want Milner to call last night and say that Yao Yuan would also come. Zhang Yiming's little heart was pounding, he didn't know his evaluation from Yao Yuan's side, he just thought that the boss was going to visit.

"Why hasn't that rice cooker been taken away yet, hurry up!"

"Pay attention to the dead corners of hygiene, how many times have I said that!"

"A spray of air freshener!"

"Who is that, go down and wait, and pick up the guests!"

Before the arrival of the two bosses, ByteDance was jumping around and cleaning up temporarily. Zhang Yiming took the time to read the text again. The above is what he will talk about today.

It's about nine o'clock.

There was a sound of footsteps, the door was opened, and an employee ushered in several people, one of whom was Milner, a bald foreigner.

The other handsome and striking is Yao Yuan.

"Mr Milner!"

"Boss Yao!"

"Nice to meet you……"

Yao Yuan shook hands, looked around, and said strangely: "If I don't come, I really don't know that you are my tenant."

"ah?"

Zhang Yiming was slightly stunned, and said, "Isn't your business an office building?"

"Yeah, but I also bought a lot of apartments as staff dormitories. 99 moved out. I didn't let the office building rent, but I rented some apartments. This is yours."

Yingshi Building has 2 office buildings and 40,000 square meters of commercial apartments.

"Oh, you said this is, this is really..."

"Coincidentally."

"That's right, what a coincidence!"

The atmosphere became cheerful for a while, Yao Yuan was very kind, and said with a smile: "Today is really presumptuous, I was talking about other things with Milner, and I suddenly mentioned you, I am curious and come to have a look, don't mind."

"It's okay, it's okay, we are flourishing!"

Milner carefully observes the working environment here, investing in projects and founders, as well as his management ability and team strength.

There are not many employees in Byte, but all of them are skilled and have experience working in large factories.

After chatting for a while and getting to the point, Zhang Yiming began to introduce his project:

"Our product is called [Today's Toutiao], which is a comprehensive information platform, but unlike Weibo, we mainly focus on official news and self-media news."

"The information explosion brought about by the mobile Internet has made people face more and more choices. Faced with information overload, people are often at a loss. In this case, the way to obtain information will no longer be the manual editing mode adopted by traditional media. It is a more intelligent and personalized automated recommendation.

[Today's headlines] There is no editorial team, no manual intervention on the content, all rely on algorithmic learning for personalized machine recommendations, and no production and processing of content, only content distribution channels.

So it is not only a news client, but also an information distribution platform..."
