You're forcing me to be reborn, right?

Byte is a company known as DD Engineering. This company has built multiple ADDs and has a very flexible organizational structure and resources. Zhang Yipeng, the head of Byte, once said in front of the media his ideas for running a company: Key eve1D...head...mpanv...a.sAPerro...duc.t. (Run a company like developing products)! When he was 12 years old, he received an investment of over US$100 million from Shunwei Capital and Red Mountain Capital! , at that time, Yanjie’s company valuation was only US$500 million! And by 1.6 years, the value has soared to 11 billion U.S. dollars. You have to know~~Byte Douyin at this stage has not even started yet and is still in the cold start stage!

Its terrifying strength ~ visible source spot!

When receiving the call from Rebus, Zhang Yiming was stunned for a moment! When the other party mentioned the word "youqu", Zhang Yiming was stunned for a longer time. The reason is very simple!

——I feel like I am living in the shadow of Youqu. In other words, living in Cheng Zhu's shadow.

As early as the early 1990s, Zhang Yiming mentioned the idea of ​​​​entering short videos to a group of company executives and the funders behind him!

After a heated discussion, everyone discovered that Kuaishou is now on the market. The number of active users of Penguin’s Weishi and Weibo’s Miaopai and Meipaibai has reached hundreds of thousands, and they are doing well!

We have temporarily lost the opportunity! Why don't you have less money? Why don't you take a look again?

"Wait and see!" This is Zhang Yiming's final attitude!

No way, both Penguin and Weibo are making short videos now, how can we fight against this? The latter is 103127.218.53 easy to talk about~~Weibo’s Meipai and Guomiaipai don’t think they have anything to fear!

The key is B and one of the Big Three, the Penguins.

Everyone is a grandchild in front of Penguin's natural flow pool.

Once Xiao Ma starts to invest heavily in Weishi and attract traffic, I will ask you whether you can carry it.

But the words are still the same!

In a certain field, once the two-horse system enters the market, the currency will be there. Venture capitalists will be more cautious when investing money. If you want to raise funds, the difficulty level will soar!

This is the sense of oppression brought by the giants, so Zhang Yiming waited and watched again for half a year! Let’s just settle down and finish our [headlines].

However, he is still a bit evil!

Because both he and ByteDance internal staff feel that there are several major pain points in the short video AD that is currently popular on the market! These pain points will become our strengths in the future!

Until...youqu was born.

Zhang Yiming and others downloaded it and took the name: "???"

Damn it, we thought of it.

Damn it~ We didn’t expect it to be available. This is simply an upgraded version of AD.n that we wanted to make internally. Oh my god.

At that moment, Zhang Zicui kept a wait-and-see attitude and felt like he was half dead!

Why is n only half dead?

Because Byte’s products are never worked alone but as a team, that’s why they are called [Toutiao Head Series]. It’s Yuan!

Once you start making short videos, Byte will launch two ADDs at once. They are not competing products, but they can be linked and win-win!

Zhang Yiming even thought of a name!

One is called Huoshan Xiao Video and the other is called Keyi. "The name of the former should be more down-to-earth, and the latter is mainly about a new trend. After seeing Youqu, he just felt that Douyin can't be used anymore, and he lost the opportunity again."

He didn't know how Cheng, a college student named Cheng Zhu, could have such a tacit understanding with his opponent this season!

''If Youyuanqu is not an upgraded version of our hopper sound and is more comprehensive~~ I will wonder if there is a mole! "Zhang. Yiming kept thinking like this in his heart, and then he came back~~ little by little, he watched Youqu achieve brilliant milk results in the [Lingqi stage]!

The most important thing is that anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the user stickiness of this ADp is very high! If nothing else, the ratio of the total number of registered users to the daily active users is a pretty good figure, which made Zhang Yiming secretly annoyed, ‘If I mean if God! "

‘If we were the first to make Douyin! "

Throat, 10:127.218 Mr. Zhang sighed!

And that was one thing that made him even more frustrated! Going to Penguin to dislike the poor monetization ability of short videos makes [Microview! 】The giants who were the first to enter the game are gradually marginalized within the Penguins. They will take a break at halftime and may even withdraw from the game. This makes Zhang Yiming’s voice come out again!

"If. I mean if... After receiving Mr. Lei's call, Zhang Yiming quickly understood the other party's intention. He wanted to discuss things with him!

Zhang Yiming did not deliberately belittle this Youqu who was one step ahead of him because he missed the opportunity~~ his answer was quite pertinent! But he felt that Cheng Zhu's mechanism was not particularly good. "Although Youqu and Kuaishou are not direct competitors, they do not have defensive products!" Zhang Yiming said, this is the worst aspect in his opinion!

For example, [Huo Video], which was originally planned to be launched internally by Byte, is first of all a defensive product of Shubiao Kuaishou!

Whether it’s the content, tone, header, or user perception~ [Huoshan Video] Mingde’s positioning is almost the same as Kuaishou. In fact, ByteDance has always paid more attention to [Huoshan Video]. of! If we really want to enter the short video industry, we will first focus on [Volcano]~~ and [Douyin] as a supplement!

Rebus heard this and nodded slightly!

Yes, I just like to play "group fights"! , but what Zhang Yiming said is not unreasonable!

After chatting for a while, Zhang Yiming smiled and said, "Are you really planning to invest money in fun?"

An idea! "Mr. Lei didn't hide it!

After Zhang Yiming got the affirmative answer, he suddenly felt blessed! , can you also block our bytes? "He suddenly made a fighting sound!

This sentence stunned Rebus, but why did he become a team and invest money? Qian Shao "I think our Byte investment in Youqu still has many natural advantages!..."

"For example, we have [Toutiao]" Right. Quick. ． ··Zhang Yiming started talking!

Today's word is not a giant!

He knew very well that Cheng Zhu would definitely have no shortage of financing partners! Yin Zhi] All he can do is take Mr. Lei for a ride!

Everyone is not optimistic about short videos, but I am really optimistic about its prospects. I would not be willing to get involved in the field of short videos.

The time has come for December 22nd. I have already had some communication with Shunwei Capital, and my mother and Shunwei CEO Xu Dalai have also made many phone calls!

Currently, two old friends, Red Mountain Capital and Pulin Capital, have plans to invest money in Youqu! Note that adding a Shunwei Capital Festival is completely enough). .

But today, he heard a very surprising sentence on the phone: "Mr. Cheng, have you ever heard of Ziwaifan!" "Section 103.127.218? It's the one with the name of A p1. Factory~~[Headline]!"

It uses the same [algorithm] system as your Youqu! "

Simple content ~ silenced Cheng Zhuqian!

Byte ~ Do I still know?

He Liangqin felt a slight pain and said calmly: "Well~ Byte, I definitely know Zhang Yiming, Mr. Zhang of Byte~~ He is also very interested in Youqu. He has been paying attention to the short video field for 13 years. He has a deep intention to cooperate with Youqu! "

Very good, Cheng Zhu was fucked and silenced again!

What the hell is going on here?

Byte wants to invest money in me. Wait, wait, wait, Byte wants to invest money in me. It hurts. I started showing off the phone one by one and started walking around the office!

He seriously thought about the feasibility of this matter!

"If I remember correctly, this is the stage where Byte has made up its mind to make [Volcano Video]!"

If Se follows the trajectory of Ya Chang in his previous life... Jian is not sure what Byte's current thoughts and attitudes are due to the butterfly effect produced by him as a reborn person! But he really didn't expect that Zhang Yiming actually sent a financing request!

Damn~~ It's interesting 103 127 218 53 But Cheng Zhu didn't say it too harshly~~ He just said: "Mr. Xu~~ I'll think about it!" But "Okay~ If you don't mind~ I Give Zhang Yiming your contact information first. Can you meet in person or chat on the phone first? Xu Dalai is quite enthusiastic! Because he is also very optimistic about Byte!

Yi Lianjungu has a headache, and the dog man groaned, and then said: "That's okay!"

After the call, Cheng Zhu opened the small refrigerator in the office and took out a can of iced Coke! He sat down on the boss's chair and put his feet on the table! Then~ While drinking happy water for a few seconds, I was lost in thought!

For him at present, are bytes useful? Then they must be somewhat useful!

First of all, Zite 2 has always been the pioneer of the algorithm system!

Secondly~~[Toutiao] did a really good job!

But these are not the key points for the current stage of Youqu!

After thinking about it for a long time, Cheng Zhu felt that it was really necessary to communicate with Zhang Yiming. 03 218.5 He mainly wanted to figure out one thing!

Does Byte still attach great importance to the [Volcano Video] project internally? "

This is the most important thing. ． In fact, half an hour later, Cheng Zhu received a call from Zhang Yiming! I’m so tired~ Mr. Cheng~ Zhang is me, Zhang Yiming! Mr. Zhang, thin head~~Hello, hello! Chu and Yi exchanged a few pleasantries with each other and then got straight to the point from Zhang Yiming's side! He first started talking about his "fate" with short videos! I have a headache. Actually, last year~~no~~at the end of the year before last, we ByteDance had thought about making short videos..." Zhang Yiming started talking next!

Cheng Zhu knew that this person was not the type to talk very closely. He could say so much in one go~~ It seemed that he really wanted to make short-term moves! Zhen Guocheng may not believe it. This Youqu of yours is at least 80% similar to the music-related short video ADD that our team originally wanted to make. In Zhang Yiming said!

Cheng Zhu: ‘‘I believe it! "

'ah? Zhang Yiming got off the spot!

Oops~~The rhythm was suddenly messed up~~Zhang suddenly lost his ability to chat. Cheng Zhu smiled and added: 'In fact, Qian Shao [First Money Shao Tiao]' to some extent gave us some inspiration for playing in the team. ~So I believe it! "

Hahaha! "Ki Zhangyi" "Oh, this is the release!" Naruto laughed a few times!

Sometimes~~age can really become a barrier to communication!

He felt that it was normal for Cheng to be so much younger than him that communication sometimes got stuck!

I continued to chat in depth, and Cheng Zhu also asked Zhang Yiya. Why hasn’t the short video project been launched for so long? In the end, the answer he got was also the answer on the surface. "Actually, everyone knows that double characters are destined to be incapable of doing videos. Even Weibo can't do this. So Weibo, regardless of whether it is within the platform, you can't do it." The outside world is actively transforming and is also undergoing replenishment!" Zhang Yiming said!

“Now on the market, there are almost a lot of short advertising videos (AD channels)!”

"But I always feel that only Kuaishou and Mr. Cheng's Youqu are taking the right path! Qi said, of course you two are not competing products at the moment!"

Cheng Zhu heard that he also took the initiative to use his quick hands, so he was ready to hit the snake with a stick! Just as he was finishing his draft, there was a knock on the door of the office.

He shouted and saw Shen Qingning pushing the door open and entering! Na then Cheng Zhucai said to Zhang Yiming on the phone: Mr. Zhang from Tongshan, please wait a moment. I’ll sign first!

The temperature has cooled down now ~ Shen Qingning wore an off-white coat today!

The legs are like a natural clothes hanger~~a typical model figure! The straight coat worn on her body highlighted her tallness even more. Cheng Zhu also noticed that she seemed to have changed her hair color~~ Now her hair color is more suitable for winter!

After signing, he picked up his palm and pressed down on 11 and 2 to signal her to sit in the office for a while! Then he continued to communicate with Zhang Yiming!

With his layer upon layer of preparation~~ I soon chatted, Shan]!

In order to express his sincerity for cooperation, Zhang Yige did not play tricks~~ It may cause unpleasantness in the future.” Kuaihao said directly and frankly: “Whether Mr. Cheng is willing to let us participate in this financing or not, we Byte The decision has been made internally to launch Volcano at the beginning of next year! "

Cheng Zhu heard the words and was satisfied in his heart but said: "Ugh... Listening to Mr. Zhang's description, comparing [Huomingshan] and [Youqu] is not like benchmarking products, but Huoshan is more like benchmarking Kuaishou." ! ”

He can feel that Byte's team probably feels that Kuaishou is not doing well! ． Otherwise, ng.m wouldn’t dare to make a short volcano video!

(He Yangen, but this matter must be discussed in advance!" Zhang Yiming replied!

Then I will seriously consider further in-depth cooperation! "Cheng Zhu expressed his stance!

··good! ··The two communicated on the phone for a few more words and then made an appointment for an interview, and then ended the call!

After Zhang Yiming put down his mobile phone, he only thought in his mind: "What if I really can buy a stake in Youqu and then start the volcano? In fact, the difference from the original plan is not too big?" added.

Zhang Yiming is so funny at this stage, but he really thinks so. No matter how much he likes short videos now, he dare not imagine it. One day in the future, short videos will be A and D. n, and it will not be a national dream!

On the other side~~in the office!

Shen Qingning looked at Cheng Zhu curiously and asked: Is this something interesting? :Um!

He looked at Ningning and asked, "Do you know Byte?" 【Headline】That! "

Know! "

He was the boss of Byte just now and wanted to participate in the financing of Axis Qu, but he also planned to create another short video AD1!

Frown slightly!

, Don’t worry, it’s not harmful to Youqu. Shen Qingning heard this. On the contrary, his volcano, as Kuaishou’s benchmark product, can also play a defensive role for me! Haosuoshan's Gantouyang won't be particularly big, so I can just swallow it in the future. It just complements each other! "The dog man directly told his true thoughts! Qian Shao used them one by one before killing them.

Upon hearing this, the arrogant girl Guo immediately said: "You don't have to tell me this!"

She's not deliberately acting arrogant at this time - she just feels burdened! The company she is now in charge of is Youcha Youqu, which has nothing to do with her. Cheng Sui has said too much now, and it is not appropriate for her to listen to these contents! , "It's so funny~ You know your divisions quite clearly!" Cheng Zhuqu said!

When Shen Qingning heard this, what she didn't blame was that the Youcha Youqu company had nothing to do with her. Cheng Sui had said too much now, and it was inappropriate for her to hear the content! , "It's so funny~ You know your divisions quite clearly!" Cheng Zhu joked!

Hearing this, Shen Qingning couldn't help but think of Lin Lu, who was about to celebrate his birthday, who had been chattering in her ears recently about how he planned to celebrate his first anniversary with Cheng Zhu! , you have to be able to tell the difference clearly! "Shen Qing, Ning Yi Qing Ling [03.2/.218.55" looked at Cheng Zhudao with her eyes!
