Winners in life: starting from the street writer

Chapter 122
With the number of monthly active users of Yuanmeng Reading App exceeding [-] million, a certain company has completely lost its competitiveness.

Many writers have jumped to Yuanmeng Literature.

The second position of the paid-to-read novel site also had to be surrendered.

For a small website like a certain *, the author is their life.

Now that the authors have been poached away by Yuanmeng Literature, the management can't play in person, right?
As for suing those job-hopping writers and paying six times the contract compensation, a certain * wants to do that.

But if there is a big trouble, the board will definitely be photographed, and then they will feel even more uncomfortable.

After insisting on the subsidy for several months, it had to declare failure.

Shen Hao has successively raised more than [-] million US dollars.

This makes a certain * how to play over there, even the big boss can't stand it.

But after burning [-] million yuan, the development of Dream Realization Literature has also entered a bottleneck period.

For those who fight alone like Yuanmeng Literature, the first one is still palm reading, and finally they also fall into the embrace of the byte system.

In the final analysis, it is because Byte has irresistible traffic resources.

Shen Hao originally wanted to use the customized app that the system rewarded last time as a long video.

But after thinking about it later, users do not have high requirements for long videos.

Previously, because of dissatisfaction with the suppression of the three major platforms, a company developed an app dedicated to broadcasting film and television dramas, which also became a small hit.

With Lynch's level, it is not too difficult to lead the team to create a decent long video platform in the past few months.

On the contrary, it is a short video platform, without several years of continuous upgrading and optimization, it is difficult to reach the level of Douyin.

But now the customization privileges rewarded by the system can allow Shen Hao to shorten several years of research and development time, and get it right in one step, with a mature algorithm system and distribution mechanism as well as various functions that are no less than Douyin.

The one billion yuan I got from Mizuho Bank last time.

One hundred million was given to Yuanmeng Comics, one hundred million to Yuanmeng Venture Capital, and three hundred million to Yuanmeng Film and Television.

Now there are still [-] million yuan lying in Shen Hao's account, it's a pity that this money doesn't have to go out.

As Shen Hao used the app customization privilege, after selecting the short video app, relevant codes and technical documents appeared immediately.

For these professional things, Shen Hao called Lynch directly.

Lynch's character is very indifferent, but seeing these documents, he couldn't help but fall into a frenzy, and looked at his boss in disbelief.

If he reads it correctly, this is basically a finished short video app that has been repeatedly tested and improved by the top team.

After using it for a few minutes, his experience is no worse than Douyin.

Shen Hao intends to ask professionals for their opinions, "How is it?"

"Boss, this software is already the top short video app on the market. As long as there is enough publicity funds to attract a group of users to upload videos, it will be easy to reach over [-] million DAU."

Lynch doesn't like to talk big, but in the face of such a perfect short video app, he still can't help offering praise.

"Over [-] million daily lives?"

Shen Hao's heart was also shocked. Daily life over [-] million and monthly life over [-] million are completely different concepts.

But for any platform that can achieve more than [-] million daily activities, which valuation is not more than [-] billion US dollars?
Like Byte, it is now valued at close to 2000 billion US dollars, how exaggerated?
Relying on Douyin, Byte can easily bring terrifying traffic to various businesses that other companies can hardly match.

It's done!

If [-] million is not enough, then another [-] million!
"Our short video platform is called Powehi, which means the dark source of infinite creation."

Shen Hao also has great expectations for this short video platform of his own.

Next, is to recruit people.

Hiring people from well-known short video platforms in the industry, operating departments, technical departments...

It coincided with the fact that major factories were also laying off employees, so they took the opportunity to recruit many talents in this field.

Especially the operation department is the top priority.

The short video is ready, but how to operate and promote it is also a technical task.

Sometimes top talent is really hard to find.

But hard work paid off, Yu Miao finally hooked up with an executive at Byte after several inquiries.

Shen Hao was also very pleasantly surprised when he got the news.

In front of many employees, Yu Miao kissed excitedly on the cheek.

Seeing Shen Hao so happy, Yu Miao felt much relieved.

Originally, the other party's willingness to change jobs was not that strong, but he couldn't stand all kinds of persuasion.

In addition, the other party really wanted to change the environment, so he agreed to meet with Shen Hao.

Only Yu Miao was brought with them, and the two of them traveled lightly and flew to the capital.

Fangheng office area, a cafe near Douyin headquarters.

Shen Hao finally met the vice president of the Douyin business, who was in charge of operations.

It can be said that Douyin's journey from 0 to 1 is inseparable from the contribution of Yingying.

However, with the recent internal business adjustment of Byte, Zhiying was adjusted to be in charge of unpopular business, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

At the beginning of the period, when Yu Miao contacted her, she just chatted casually.

But I didn't expect Yu Miao to be particularly persistent, talking to her every now and then.

After chatting for a long time, she couldn't refuse Yu Miao's proposal to meet.

Zhi Ying, who is in her 30s, has neat short hair and a gray lady's suit, which makes her look a bit old-fashioned and a bit puzzled.

But in Shen Hao's eyes, Zhi Ying is definitely a rare talent.

Perhaps for Douyin, which is now entering the bottleneck period, Zhiying is useless.

But for Powehi, which is not yet available to the public.

Zhiying's operation and management experience can definitely reduce their trial and error costs.

After chatting for a few words, Zhi Ying looked at her watch frequently, already revealing that she didn't want to continue talking.

Seeing this, Shen Hao immediately took out the Powehi downloaded to his mobile phone and asked Zhi Ying to try it out.

Zhiying didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning. There are not a thousand short video software on the market, but there are eight hundred.

But soon, her expression changed suddenly.

This short video software is different from other rough and low-quality short video software on the market.

The fluency of the screen and the distribution mechanism gave her the feeling that she was playing Douyin.

For example, if she likes a certain video, after refreshing, she will continuously recommend similar videos.

Although the quality of the video is average, it looks like it was captured from another platform.

But after only a few minutes of experience, Zhi Ying was completely stunned.

If she hadn't been a bit sane, she couldn't help but wonder if the technology department on Byte's side had collectively jumped ship to help develop the software.

Seeing the change in Zhiying's expression, Shen Hao asked with a smile, "I think we can have a good talk now?"

"Mr. Shen, please speak."

Zhiying also put away her contempt and thought of resigning.

"Come here and help me. Powehi's business is all in your charge. You only need to report to me alone. I will give you [-] million for the start-up capital. You can spend it however you want. I only look at the results."

Shen Hao is also very direct, making no secret of his respect for Zhi Ying.

Even Zhi Ying was a little startled.

In Byte, she is just a vice president of Douyin.

But now, Shen Hao directly gave her a top position.

If Powehi can become bigger, she will be the biggest contributor.

What's more, Powehi's experience can be called full marks.

Whether it is an algorithm, or various filters and beauty functions, it is no worse than Douyin.

Zhiying only spent 1 minute thinking, and she already had a decision in her heart.

"Mr. Shen, I don't care about the annual salary, but I want 5% of the shares."

"can."

Without hesitation, Shen Hao stretched out his right hand with a smile: "We will be a big family from now on."

"Thank you Mr. Shen for your appreciation."

Zhiying is very knowledgeable, since she has transferred to the door, naturally she can't carry it like before.

Originally, she thought that Shen Hao would bargain with her, but she didn't expect Shen Hao to agree so readily.

Even if there are several subsequent rounds of financing, she only needs to firmly hold the shares.

When Powehi goes public, it won't be a problem for her to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

But she also knows that this share is not so easy to get, and she must make achievements.

……

Back at Douyin's headquarters, Zhi Ying wrote her resignation letter vigorously and resolutely.

She submitted it to her immediate supervisor, who is also the president of the Douyin business, Zhang Nan, a well-known strong woman in the Internet circle.

Zhang Nan glanced at the resignation letter and frowned slightly, "The company may be listed soon, are you sure you want to resign at this time?"

"I'm a bit tired of being here, and I want to change the environment. I hope Mr. Zhang understands."

Zhi Ying smiled, she was very similar to Zhang Nan, the kind who worked desperately.

Back then, it was because of their desperate promotion that Douyin gained its current status in the arena.

"I can approve your resignation letter, but as a friend, I don't recommend you to go to a small company with little reputation."

Zhang Nan sighed, although she is now in charge of several major platform businesses under Byte, she is well-deserved No.1.

But he couldn't say anything about Zhiying's position adjustment, after all, it was the decision of the board of directors.

"Sister Nan, when we were doing Douyin, who would have thought that one day we would put Kuaishou under us?"

Zhi Ying half-jokingly said: "Maybe in a few years, I will bring that small company to be on an equal footing with Miss Nan."

"Then I wish you success."

Xie Nan rolled his eyes, signed quickly, got up and gave Zhi Ying a hug.

"Although you have left your job, our private relationship will never change. Byte will always be your home."

"Thank you, Miss Nan."

Zhi Ying took a deep breath, and when she left the company, her steps were much heavier.

But she doesn't regret it.

Even if he continues to stay, he will be adjusted to an unpopular business.

It's better to accept Shen Hao's invitation and go outside for a break.

It is rare to fight a few times in life. If such a good opportunity is not grasped, she will regret it for the rest of her life.

As one of Byte's second-in-command executives, Zhi Ying's departure did not cause much sensation.

On Douyin, with Xie Nan around, no one will notice this strong woman who has made great contributions to Douyin.

Inside Byte, only an announcement was made.

After all, the second-in-command has only more than 90 bits in the byte, which is still very important.

But Zhi Ying left and went to a small company, Byte didn't even bother to sue Zhi Ying.

If Zhiying jumps to Kuaishou, Byte High and Low will also have to sue Zhiying according to the non-compete clause.

Can Powehi?

what is that?
