The rebirth of the wife and children

"No wonder some people say that you drive a BMW and ride a Mercedes," Shang Fuhai whispered, which seemed to make sense.

Thin, not tall, with eyes with silver borders, wearing a casual shirt on the upper body, a pair of frosted jeans on the lower body, and a pair of casual leather shoes on the feet, with a bit bohemian and literati temperament.

"Zhang Dong, hello, I have admired you for a long time." Shang Fuhai saw Zhang Yiming come out to pick him up in person, and his heart was greatly shaken.

This is an invisible rich man. I remember the relevant fortune magazine records. In three or four years, Zhang Yiming, the founder of Beijing ByteDance Technology Co., Ltd., will break into the top ten of the domestic rich list with a wealth value of more than 700 billion yuan.

Who was before him on that list?

For example, Ma Penguin, Ma Ali, Xu Hengda, Wang Wanda and other characters who often appear in news broadcasts.

As for the current Zhang Dong, it is really hard to say how much his current value has increased compared to the historical value at the same time period due to the soaring valuation of the headlines caused by Shang Fuhai's transaction.

But no matter how high it is, it will not exceed tens of billions of net worth, or even half a hundred.

Thinking about it this way, Shang Fuhai's turbulent heart suddenly settled down, as if his current worth is not much worse than the other party's.

"I always thought that I was the youngest among the successful entrepreneurs born in the 80s. Unexpectedly, Mr. Shang is younger than me. No wonder, amazing!" Zhang Yiming admired it from the bottom of his heart.

In his previous impression, Shang Fuhai and his Haifei Capital were examples of good luck, but when he really saw Shang Fuhai, he suddenly discovered that it was not just good luck, or that his vision was more vicious, and he found the Toutiao. Only potential stocks.

He is also particularly courageous. According to the information he got, he put all his net worth in one fell swoop, and even borrowed a lot of money to buy the shares of Toutiao from his meager hands.

Foresight, courage, and ruthlessness, whoever succeeds will succeed if he doesn't succeed!

Shang Fuhai really didn't expect Zhang Yiming to be so conceited, and he even called himself the most successful entrepreneur born in the 80s. How can you say that?

"Zhang Dong, the reputation is too high. I can say that I borrowed Zhang Dong's ride to get to where I am today. It is completely incomparable with Zhang Dong who started from scratch." Shang Fuhai is very humble.

When the two met for the first time, they complimented each other, and neither side showed any signs of expression.

Welcoming Shang Fuhai and Han Zhengyu into the office building, Zhang Yiming said, "Shang Dong, let's have some dinner first, and I have a lot of questions to ask Shang Dong alone, please feel free to enlighten me."

While talking, he was stunned to welcome Shang Fuhai and Han Zhengyu into the company restaurant...

Shang Fuhai and Han Zhengyu looked at each other in blank dismay. This is the first time they met, is this how you treat us?

really!

Zhang Yiming said: "Shang Dong, and Mr. Han, we are very short on time. At noon, please condescend to have a taste of our company's canteen restaurant. After the busy afternoon, I will greet you in person in the evening."

Shang Fuhai has no special requirements for this, he has nothing to do.

Even if they were eating in a restaurant, there was a separate private room. In the cafeteria, a dedicated chef cooked a sumptuous lunch for them.

It's strange that at noon, apart from Zhang Yiming, they didn't even see the second executive from Toutiao. This seems weird no matter how you think about it.

Zhang Yiming didn't explain anything, he ate very quickly, because it was a work meal, there was no wine, but each had a bottle of freshly squeezed juice, Zhang Yiming looked at Shang Fuhai after eating.

Shang Fuhai was directly confused: "Nimma, you mean to urge me to finish eating quickly?"

It feels so weird!

Chapter 191 A Big Oolong Made by a Technophile

Zhang Yiming almost urged Shang Fuhai and Han Zhengyu to finish their lunch quickly with his eyes, and then led the way, leading them to a small conference room that could seat six or seven people.

After asking the staff to bring over a few bottles of Nongfu Spring mineral water, Zhang Yiming closed the door.

"Shang Dong, it's a bit shabby at noon today, but I will personally apologize to the two of you tonight." Zhang Yiming said something without beginning or end, and he was also quite embarrassed.

Shang Fuhai was completely confused. He couldn't figure out what kind of painting style the boss Zhang was in. Why did he feel weirder the more he looked at it?

It's like... an otaku who doesn't understand the world.

Rumor has it that Big Boss Zhang is bored and a technical nerd through and through. Could it be because of this?

He really wanted to curse.

If it is inferred from this, the sentence that Zhang Yiming said when he called him, "Journal Toutiao only needs participants" is the literal meaning?

If this is the case, then this incident is ridiculous, he thought that the other party had some kind of conspiracy, or that there were some ghostly and sneaky people behind his back trying to deal with him...

But looking at Zhang Yiming's behavior in the world, it doesn't look like it. A person like him has acquired such a huge amount of wealth?

Fortune favors fools?

Should the facts be so cruel, what should people like me do who work hard but have no results?

Seeing that Shang Fuhai did not respond, Zhang Yiming was even more embarrassed. He thought that Shang Fuhai and the two were angry, and said: "To tell you the truth, Toutiao has encountered a bottleneck. Fang, there is no way to help me solve this problem, and I have no choice."

"..."

Shang Fuhai and Han Zhengyu looked at each other in blank dismay, it turned out to be like this, and they even made a huge oolong in a 'very aggressive' manner, thinking that someone was secretly going to mess with them!

The two looked at each other and smiled wryly. If this is the case, you should have said it earlier, can't you explain it more clearly?

Reluctant to helpless, Shang Fuhai still asked him: "Mr. Zhang, explain clearly, what is the problem with Toutiao now?"

"Well, I don't know why recently, the user activity is always not increasing, and there is a continuous downward trend. I consulted SIG and the investors of Haina Asia, but there is no good way to help me solve this problem. , Sequoia Capital gave an idea, but I tried it, it didn't work!"

"Just to increase user activity?" Shang Fuhai's eyelids twitched again and again.

Zhang Yiming nodded hurriedly: "Yes, does Mr. Shang have any good suggestions?"

Big brother Zhang, I really want to cripple you with a stick, just for this?Why don't you ask directly on the phone?

It also made me dizzy, causing me to misunderstand you a lot. Do you know that I came this time to fight with my back.

"Zhang Dong, I do have a solution, and I can tell you, but what good does it do me?" Shang Fuhai asked angrily.

If Zhang Yiming had asked him this question directly on the phone, Shang Fuhai might have told him the solution, but Zhang Yiming was too good at handling things, playing charades, which scared Shang Fuhai's little heart and kept jumping.

Zhang Yiming couldn't adapt to Shang Fuhai's strictness, he frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Shang Dong, isn't it right, you told me the method, I solved the problem, the customer activity of Toutiao has increased, and the value of Toutiao will inevitably increase. The biggest performance, the equity in your hand can be more valuable, right?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Shang Fuhai asked him, Zhang Yiming was embarrassed by the question, and Lao Shang said: "Zhang Dong, have you ever thought about doing a series of reports similar to idol scanning to drive the activity of diving customers?" .For example, Cheng Long, Liu Tianwang or the younger Wu Yifan, etc..."

"Wait a minute, Shang Dong, talk about it carefully, this suggestion is a bit interesting." Zhang Yiming seemed to have thought of something, but his thinking was still a little confused.

Shang Fuhai then told Toutiao's "publishing report" in his previous life. At that time, Lao Shang was also a "victim" of this report, but at that time, because of this action, today's Toutiao directly leveraged tens of millions of daily activities. For users, relying on Toutiao's "Analysis" series to conduct in-depth mining of massive user data, it is possible to accurately push information of interest to everyone, and drive the public's reading habits from a macro perspective.

Listening to Shang Fuhai's narration of the whole event, Zhang Yiming's eyes became brighter and brighter, until Shang Fuhai finished the whole event, Zhang Yiming slapped his thigh suddenly: "Yeah, why didn't I think of it, it's actually very simple , or a variant application of Toutiao's 'algorithm', I'm really stuck."

Shang Fuhai complained in his heart, you are more than just a dead-headed person, you directly engage in technology so that your brain can't turn around.

"Shang Dong, do you have any other good suggestions? Ideas that can drive the development of Toutiao are also fine." Zhang Yiming asked.

He can be considered to catch a person who can communicate 'technology'.

Of course Shang Fuhai did, and he didn't hide it anymore, and didn't even mention the "benefits" again. He said: "You can also rely on the advantages of Toutiao to organize a "Toutiao tracing" activity. How many people are lost all over the country? Population? Toutiao itself has precise location search and geographical push functions, it also has a large download user group and daily active user group, why can’t you use it to help those lost people find their families, said Alright, this is doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, to say the least selfish, this is also the practicality and positive image of the publicity headlines..."

"That's good, Shang Dong, is there any more?"

"Precisely dispelling rumors, you can use computer algorithms and user feedback to efficiently identify false information. I'm annoyed by the messy information on the Internet now. If you can handle it well, what do you think of customers..."

"There is also product search. Of course, this is just a concept I thought of. I will simply talk about it. Whether it can be done and whether it can be realized after doing it is your problem."

"Well, Shang Dong, tell me, and I'll record it." Zhang Yiming took out a notebook from nowhere, with a pen in his hand, looking like a three-good student.

Looking at Shang Fuhai, he broke into a cold sweat, he really is an 'otaku'.

Abandoning these messy ideas, Shang Fuhai began to explain: "Mr. Zhang, you think that if a customer searches for words such as 'women's clothing' or 'men's clothing' or 'baby products', relevant secondary categories will appear directly on Toutiao. Information, even the specific sales situation of the product can be displayed under the displayed category product information, for example, the sales volume of a certain middle-aged and elderly cardigan is 6. There are 14 major categories of products in the platform, of which the men’s clothing category is classified as Put it to the top. After clicking "View More" next to Safe Buy, you can search for other specific product conditions in a more subdivided manner, and the Toutiao interface also displays related product information. In this case, can we also search from other online channels? Earn a profit from the channel there..."

While talking, Shang Fuhai suddenly stopped, and he muttered: "Oh, I have talked too much, why am I still talking nonsense, Zhang Dong, you should not have heard, I am talking nonsense."

"..."

Zhang Yiming's head is full of black lines falling like a waterfall. Is it really nonsense?Why do I feel that these functions fit so well with the headlines, as if they should have existed because of the headlines?

The boss Zhang had a big greeting in his heart.

Chapter 192

After Zhang Yiming recorded all the suggestions that Shang Fuhai just said, he couldn't help feeling: "Shang Dong, I wish I had met you two months earlier, I won't delay the further development of these two months. "

Shang Fuhai, a very honest person, secretly accepted the praise from the boss Zhang in his heart, and waved his hands calmly on his face: "Zhang Dong, I am talking nonsense, is it useful, and can it achieve the main goal?" It still depends on Zhang Dong's ability."

After finishing speaking, he turned a corner: "But having said that, Zhang Dong, I am helping you. I helped Toutiao solve a big problem."

Zhang Yiming nodded subconsciously, not only solved the big problem, but the next few ideas simply pointed out the way for Toutiao's rapid development within a year, but why did he always feel that Shang Fuhai was ambushing him?

Shang Fuhai didn't care, he nodded when he saw Zhang Yiming, and immediately asked: "Since Chairman Zhang also agrees, then I need some help from Chairman Zhang for some small things here."

"Tell me." Zhang Yiming said, but he was too embarrassed to refuse according to his tender face.

Shang Fuhai said: "Mr. Zhang, it's like this. In addition to investing in our headlines, I also set up a chain of convenience stores. I now have more than 20 stores. The next step is to focus on spreading the market. By the end of this year, I plan to preliminarily set around 100."

He is just such an honest person, who wholeheartedly drew his grand blueprint. After explaining the rough operation model, Zhang Yiming immediately grasped the business opportunities here. If this model works well, it will be simply too scary.

He was very interested: "Shang Dong, let me ask you a question, your financial pressure for the next step of development should not be small, how about I buy some shares to help you..."

"You...forget it, I don't plan to introduce external funds for this part." Shang Fuhai shook his head: "However, I want to make a supporting online platform for chain convenience stores together, and then offline and online will cooperate with each other , the future is promising”

"Yes, that's right. Shang Dong has a vicious vision. He noticed this early on and made up for his shortcomings in the early stage." Zhang Yiming's work is a bit different from the world, but his ability is beyond doubt. Bytedance has achieved a valuation of nearly [-] billion US dollars, and I have also entered the top ten of the domestic rich list.

He immediately saw the mutual cooperation of this online and offline mode, and the two modes formed a complementary effect, which was almost invincible.

Shang Fuhai nodded again and again: "That's right, but the problem is that I don't have the talents in this field, and I don't have this channel, so I hope that Director Zhang can lend me a few people to use and help me build the initial online platform. gone."

After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Zhang Yiming would reject him, so he followed up and said, "Mr. Zhang, I have just solved a big problem for you, and now I will select a few people to help you build an online platform structure. The two of us Friendship, you should not refuse!"

It really made Shang Fuhai right, Zhang Yiming started drafting in his mind how to refuse, he is also short of people.

Toutiao is now rapidly expanding, with constant changes and incremental algorithms, all of which require a large number of professionals. Where can he recruit people to build a platform for Shang Fuhai?

This guy thinks so beautiful!

But the draft he rejected hadn't been issued yet, and Shang Fuhai stopped him with a single sentence. With Shang Fuhai's "selfless" help, if he rejected it now, it would seem very dishonest, and he is too tasteless!

The boss looked embarrassed, winked, and finally stretched out his five fingers reluctantly: "Shang Dong, it's not that I don't help, I will draw you a small team of 5 people at most, and the time can't be too long .”

"Half a year, the time can't be less, and I can't make anything in two or three months. After half a year, I will definitely let them back." Shang Fuhai hurriedly said a date and made a promise.

"..." Big brother Zhang stopped talking, for fear that he would lose words if he said too much.

He wanted to tell Shang Fuhai that the borrowing time should not exceed one year at most, fearing that those who borrowed out would not be able to keep up with Toutiao's structural development needs.

But he didn't expect that the time limit given by Shang Fuhai was shorter, and it was cut in half. If he said more, he would be really stupid.

"I'll lend you the people, but you have to be responsible for their wages and benefits." Zhang Yiming figured everything out.

Of course, Shang Fuhai would not be reluctant to part with this little money, he nodded and agreed, and then said in a negotiating tone: "Mr. Zhang, why don't you just quit them, and I'll just recruit them over."

Zhang Yiming was not angry when he heard this, but also showed contempt in his eyes: "Do you think they are willing to follow you?"

Naked contempt for people!

Shang Fuhai really has no way to refute now, he is choked up and underestimated.

But he is also very helpless. Whether it is the Haifei cafeteria or the one-kilometer convenience store, they are all physical industries, and such industries are often not recognized by practitioners in the Internet industry.

The remaining Haifei Capital will not recruit a few practitioners in the Internet industry. As for the convenience store online platform that Shang Fuhai intends to build in the future, this is more straightforward. It is just a thought now, and even the framework needs others Helping to build, a fool knows how to choose between a small unknown company and a well-known Internet upstart.

If you are looked down upon, you can look down on it. Lao Shang doesn't want to argue about this issue. There is no need to do a good job of yourself first. Facts speak louder than any arguments.

"Zhang Dong, in this small team of 5 people, give me two who can do video construction. I need to do some video promotion in the early stage of the online platform." Shang Fuhai interjected.

Zhang Yiming didn't doubt that Shang Fuhai had ulterior motives, so he naturally agreed.

Before Shang Fuhai came, he still had a secret case. What he was going to take out as his trump card was the idea of ​​"Short Video of Pai Ke", or a variant version of "Tik Tok", but obviously he missed something. In this case, There is no need to shake out the hole cards. He thought that Zhang Yiming would borrow someone with talent in this field to help him make this video app. As long as he has the foundation, the rest will be easy.

As for the online platform of convenience stores, this is of course true, and it is also the top priority of Shang Fuhai in the future.

The current cooperation with online is his big idea.

Before that, Shang Fuhai and An Xiaohui also had a close discussion to vigorously expand new regional development on the basis of ensuring the current stability of the one-kilometer convenience store, and spread the scale as soon as possible.

Therefore, he told Zhang Yiming just now that he would open about 100 chain stores in a short period of time. This is true and he did not fool him.

Chapter 193 The Notebook Exposure Incident

Bo City, Paris Spring Community, Lao Shang's house.

The son-in-law is away again, the daughter and son have gone to work, and the granddaughter fell asleep after lunch.

The old lady has nothing to do. She just moved to this community, and she has never seen anyone in the neighborhood. It's not like when she was in the future city, there was someone who watched and chatted with the children.
