The Millennium Semiconductor Survival Guide

There was loud applause from the audience, and many people were screaming and cheering.

After Quora was born, one of the intuitive benefits is that it makes people realize that high-quality content is valuable, and there are users who are willing to pay for high-quality content.

At the same time, Quora is willing to share with users the value of the high-quality content they create.

"Yes, we adopt a sharing mechanism, and we will share every profit from Quora Gold Selection with users.

It is your high-quality content that forms this thick Quora gold selection.

30%. , I like this number very much. Whether it is Riot Games or Quora paid questions and answers, our rake is only 30%.

This number can allow enterprises to have funds to operate, and at the same time, can have a small profit, which can help Internet companies survive better.

I have always believed that Internet companies have broad profit potential, but many Internet companies have not found a suitable profit method.

The Internet is a gold mine, and NewPay is the shovel to mine this gold mine.

Closer to home, Quora Golden Selection will be officially launched tomorrow morning. After the Quora Golden Selection is launched, all registered users of Quora can receive a two-week Quora Golden Selection for free.

Try it first before deciding whether to purchase the service. "

Von Louis in the audience was very proud that Quora seemed to be just a pile of content, but actually contained a lot of original technology.

Not to mention the recommendation algorithm developed by Robin Li, but also the research and development of anti-crawler technology.

Crawler is also a technology that specializes in crawling web content. This technology has a history of many years, and now the Internet is full of Internet companies and even individuals engaged in crawling.

If there is no anti-crawler technology, these organizations only need to grab the content of Quora, then do time screening, and then sort the number of likes, and they can also make a pretty good Quora gold selection.

With pirated copies, genuine copies are hard to sell.

The moral bottom line of the Americans is not higher. They don't use pirated copies simply because the potential cost of using pirated copies is higher than using genuine ones.

In the barbaric age when supervision was absent, if they could watch pirated versions, Americans would still not watch genuine ones.

Therefore, anti-reptiles are particularly important at this time.

If Li Yanhong's recommendation algorithm is related to the upper limit of Quora's golden selection, then anti-crawler is related to the lower limit of Quora's golden selection.

Zhou Xin waited for everyone's applause to stop before continuing:

"Everyone knows Yahoo's vision, Yahoo has always hoped to become a media group in the new era, hoping to become a media in the new era.

When I was on Charlie Rose's talk show before, he and I talked about this topic, and I was very interested after the chat.

Yahoo wants to become a media group in the new era, so can Quora. Since it uses the definition of the new era, it must be somewhat different from traditional paper media.

Every time I browse Quora, there is a thought in my heart. The content and depth of opinion on it are not inferior to the New York Times. Why can't I aggregate these high-quality content into one publication?

That's where Quora Gold Picks comes in.

Of course, some users will have doubts in their hearts. The content on Quora is public. Why should I pay extra for the Quora Gold Selection?

Because the users you follow on Quora are limited, and the sections you follow are also limited, which will lead to the convergence of the content you see.

You will see more and more what you like to watch, while ignoring what you may like or what you may be interested in.

Quora Gold Selection is like panning for gold in the sea, helping you pick up the gold you missed.

The frequency of once every three days is just enough to ensure that you can see the best batch of answers from the entire community during these three days. "

Yang Zhiyuan complained in his heart: You have done Yahoo's work, what else does Yahoo do? At the same time he was more hungry for Quora. Quora was literally made into the shape of his dreams.

Quora arranged for him to sit next to Bill Gates. Originally, the two chatted from time to time. After Quora Jin was selected, the two of them lost their mood for chatting.

Everyone realizes that if the Quora Golden Selection can be made, then Quora will be more valuable, and it is not necessarily Internet companies that compete with them, and traditional media companies will also compete with them.

Bob Pittman, the president of American Online, was also below. After listening to this, he repeatedly sighed that the new profit method Zhou Xin came up with was similar to his idea.

The way he wants to make money is to launch Quora members after the acquisition of Quora, and then let users choose to put their answers in the member area.

Only members can see the contents of the member area.

As a result, before American Online acquired Quora, Zhou Xin launched a subscription-based payment function.

What he didn't think of was that Quora Golden Selection did not prevent users from seeing these answers. Quora is selling services.

If you do it according to his idea, it will be at the cost of reducing the user experience. If you want to restore the original user experience, then charge money.

Zhou Xin is getting better on stage: "After Quora launched, every user has the opportunity to speak out on issues that interest him.

In this process, we have created the first batch of top users with 100,000 followers. These users have become the first batch of top users on Quora with their excellent professional ability in the corresponding field and the spirit of sharing the Internet.

At the same time, in the era of paid questions and answers, we let these top users share the dividends brought by Quora, and they can get benefits from Quora through paid questions and answers.

Ordinary users can do the same, but the income of ordinary users is a black box, and it is difficult for you to know what you can earn.

After the launch of Quora Golden Selection, we hope to share the dividends brought by Quora's development with more users.

The question selection of Quora Golden Selection has nothing to do with users, but only with whether your answers are of high quality.

This is also the last function I developed for Quora. In the near future, there will be a next person at the helm to escort the development of Quora.

In addition to publishing the Quora Golden Picks here today, it is also an early farewell. "

The sound of not leaving was first heard in a small area under the stage, and then spread to the entire venue.

All Quora users are shouting, we need you.

Zhou Xin paused for a moment, then waved his hand: "Okay, everyone is making it look like I'm leaving.

I'm just leaving Quora, not Silicon Valley.

I am still in Silicon Valley, Riot and NewPay are still my products, and I will start the next stage of entrepreneurship, nothing can stop me! "

After the Quora press conference ended, it was reported by various media.

"Quora press conference? Newman's farewell party!"

"Can Quora's launch of the golden selection function subvert the traditional paper media market?"

"At the Quora press conference, Jerry Yang and Bill Gates sat side by side but couldn't hide their embarrassment"

"Newman's next venture? Is a product better than Quora coming?"

The next day, almost all the headlines of the Silicon Valley technology media were discussing Quora's press conference yesterday.

At the same time, the media and users have already got the first Quora gold selection.

There are also users who just don't like the free ones, and the main thing is that they love to spend money, and they subscribe to Quora Golden Choice for $7.

The New York Times’ report on Quora’s conference is not as exaggerated as other media. They almost put all their attention on Quora’s product innovation itself:

"Yesterday, Newman, who is known as 'the best product manager in Silicon Valley', held a product launch conference in San Francisco.

There were more than 10,000 Quora users present. According to the author's observation, most of the users present were young people. From the number of participants, it can be seen that Quora has a strong appeal among the user groups.

Newman's Quora Golden Choice function launched this time is another innovation after the launch of the last Quora paid question and answer function. It gathers high-quality answers from users into a publication and sends it to users who have purchased the service by email.

The frequency of once every three days and the monthly pricing of $7 show that Quora’s best-selected competitors are traditional print media.

I don't know if the Quora Golden Selection will be successful, but I appreciate Quora's continuous innovation in achieving profitability under the leadership of Newman.

Unlike Yahoo's acquisition of GEOCities, which is committed to achieving profitability, Quora under the leadership of Newman has always innovated without affecting the user experience.

Yahoo is taking back the rights that users should have, and then telling them that you need to pay to continue to enjoy the rights that you had.

This is the essential difference between the two. It is also Quora's continuous innovation in profitability and successful experience that allows more Internet companies to find their own profit models faster.

If the Quora gold selection is successful, I think the value of Quora will go up to a higher level. "

How does the Quora Golden Pick count as a success? This is a question raised by a participant on Yahoo's internal board of directors.

"Gentlemen, 100,000 subscribers is already very successful for an average Internet company. It is $700,000 per month and $8.4 million a year. This income is already higher than that of many listed Internet companies.

But apparently not enough for Quora.

So 500,000? Or 1 million?

The results of the discussion you just discussed and the results of our previous meetings have not changed. We must acquire Quora.

This is an opportunity that has not been met for many years, and no one will choose to sell Quora except Newman.

Therefore, the success of Quora Golden Selection will not have a great impact on our acquisition, it is nothing more than a higher valuation and more money.

Quora's pricing is high, which in itself is within our expectations.

It’s just that the launch of the Quora Golden Selection has taught us and even the Internet companies in Silicon Valley a good lesson.

How can a community with enough high-quality content and excellent users create and realize value.

This can play a very good guiding role for Yahoo's future work.

But this will not affect our acquisition of Quora now, nor will it affect the final result of our successful completion of the acquisition. "

What happened in Yahoo's boardroom also happened in Microsoft.

Not only these Internet companies want to acquire Quora, but some traditional paper media also want to acquire Quora at this time.

Among them is Murdoch's News Corporation International.

Tomorrow is the last day of March, and it is customary to ask for a monthly pass.
