Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 405: Smaller
"Tik Tok? Record your beautiful life?" Yang Luyu couldn't help but repeat it several times. At first glance, he didn't hear anything so exquisite about it, but it was catchy and easy to remember.
Yang Luyu only repeated it a few times and remembered it very easily. After thinking about it carefully, he found that compared with the name, it was the idea of the slogan "Record a Beautiful Life" that had a stronger impact on Yang Luyu.
These six simple words seemed to give a higher meaning to the short video tool, which reminded Yang Luyu of a sentence.
The best product concept must be popular and meet the needs of the general public!
At the beginning of his business, when he wanted to establish a foothold in the overseas market, Yang Luyu spent countless efforts to identify the needs of young overseas groups and create a way for his products.
I didn’t expect that after achieving some success, when I returned to the domestic market, I became inexplicably arrogant and forgot to consider the needs of the domestic market...
Now, after Zhou Dongsheng's "earnest advice", Yang Luyu felt ashamed, but he couldn't help but put away his little thoughts and took the domestic market seriously again.
This plain sentence reminded Yang Luyu of what Zhou Dongsheng once said about the future of the sinking market. If he wanted to capture the opportunities in the sinking market, the best way was naturally to let his products sink first!
Thinking of this, Yang Luyu suddenly felt enlightened. So that's what Zhou Dongsheng really intended?
Worthy of being a strategic investor!
Yang Luyu felt a sense of awe in his heart, and he felt more and more that his decision was extremely wise. With such a good teacher and helpful friend, why should he worry about not achieving his great goals?
"Great! Mr. Zhou's name is really wonderful, and even the slogan is very appropriate. If our product can become the first choice for the general public to record their beautiful life, then..."
"Isn't our product the next WeChat?" Yang Luyu said boldly.
"Hey, the picture is small, let's talk about it in a bigger way. What if we are the next Tengda?"
Zhou Dongsheng made a bold statement calmly , saying that it was just bragging, so he might as well blow his goals up a little bit first. The bolder your heart is, the more productive you will be!
It's normal if you can't do it, but if you can do it, it's a miracle.
"Oh, yes, yes, Mr. Zhou has a broader vision. These words make my blood boil, hahaha!" Yang Luyu laughed heartily.
But I have to say that benchmarking against Internet giants like Tencent always makes it easy for one to feel the passion to become a dragon slayer.
Although, this brave man wanted to take over and become the new evil dragon...
"2015 is coming to an end. Both the name change and the awards ceremony are big events. I think the best time to hold the awards ceremony is definitely the last day of 2015. "
"After all, we are called the Golden Second Award. It is held on the last day. What time could be more precious than this New Year's Eve?"
"It can be seen as a farewell to the old and a welcome to the new, looking forward to the beginning of the new year. It can also be seen as an encouragement to many creators. How about being able to arrive at this awards ceremony in the new year?"
"At the same time, we can also use this opportunity to announce the important matter of changing our name, leaving the old name in the old year, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and starting anew in the new year. How does this feel like a ceremony?"
Zhou Dongsheng shared all his ideas with me, and I felt very excited, with a feeling of wanting more.
"Okay, okay! I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to be so thoughtful and think of all the ideas from beginning to end. What else can I say? Just do it."
After this series of combined punches, Yang Luyu was truly defeated by Zhou Dongsheng. Each of his ideas was remarkable when taken individually, but the whole combination was somewhat unexpected.
One can imagine how much thought Zhou Dongsheng put into this to think things through so thoroughly!
How could Yang Luyu not have the slightest bit of dissatisfaction? This strategic investor has become both his father and his mother. If he still doesn't stand up, Yang Luyu will almost look down on him.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhou. I will do the next two things myself. I will go to the meeting as soon as I hang up the phone. I will definitely do both things beautifully. If I fail Mr. Zhou's kindness, I will just commit suicide by slashing my throat in the Wujiang River."
Yang Luyu patted his chest and assured that this wave of enthusiasm was really maxed out by Zhou Dongsheng.
"Then I will wait and see. When I hear good news from President Yang, I will continue to urge my subordinates to do a good job in producing platform content. We will each do our part and create a better future together."
Zhou Dongsheng smacked his lips with a look of unsatisfied satisfaction. This generous sharing of knowledge had really drained out all his recent thoughts. Apart from being able to contribute a little on the content, there was nothing else he could say for the time being.
Now, we have done our best and left the rest to fate. If we still can’t beat Toutiao, we can only admit defeat.
I just don't know, with all the hard work put in by Wenxue Network, how much its valuation can increase from 1 billion US dollars?
If we don’t double it, we will be letting down the efforts of our godfather Zhou Dongsheng.
"No problem, Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I'll take care of it!" Yang Luyu promised solemnly, and then hung up the phone.
This phone call really made Yang Luyu feel excited. He felt a surge of energy running through his heart and an urge that he had no place to vent.
"Notify all departments to hold a meeting!"
…
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Dongsheng's face was filled with a trace of satisfaction and happiness. After all, he had done his best and got the two major creative ideas of his future competitor.
Whether it is the Golden Second Award or the name, they are the correct answers that will be proven by facts and accepted by the market in the future Toutiao.
Although the current Wenxue Network is far behind Toutiao in terms of system and technology, even if other people's ideas are used, the results may not be effective.
It is just like having the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms but not having the internal strength of the Nine Yin Scriptures to support it. The strength that can be exerted will definitely be far from enough.
However, Zhou Dongsheng is not worried about this. As long as he can successfully gain a foothold and show the potential of the music short video product...
Then Zhou Dongsheng could naturally find a way to give Wenxue Network a "wake-up call" and bring in Zhuchang, one of the top Internet giants in the country, to raise the upper limit.
After all, a mature Internet product must go through several rounds of financing. It is obviously difficult to succeed by fighting alone.
All Internet companies have verified this point through their own actions. Zhou Dongsheng has naturally been prepared for this. The reason why he took so many shares was also to prepare for the subsequent financing game.
After all, shares and equity are two different things, just like the difference between rights and power. In a financing structure where shares and equity are separated, most venture capitalists will not interfere too much in the operations of startups.
But strategic investors like Zhou Dongsheng are naturally a different matter.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng stopped worrying about trivial matters and instead called Xu Ruoan, the manager of Yinian Media.
