Reality Monopoly

Chapter 22 Is your company short of money?
"But what?" Hearing the last sentence, Zhang Yi and Liao Yong looked at Yang Tian with curiosity and anticipation.

Yang Tian smiled, and said lightly: "But I won't do it, but you two can do it!"

"Cut." Hearing this, Liao Yong pouted immediately: "The three musketeers are missing one, so what's the point?"

"That's right, what Lao Liao said is right." Zhang Yi echoed, "And it's not like you don't know Lao Liao and me, Brother Tian. If two people do it, it will definitely take three days of fishing and two days of drying the net, and they will not be able to come up with anything in the end."

"That's right." Liao Yong didn't feel ashamed at all, but affirmed with a firm face.

It could be seen that both Liao Yong and Zhang Yi valued Yang Tian very much.

"Who said I won't participate? I will still participate." Yang Tian smiled, and immediately said with a serious face: "But I will not participate in product development, but I will take time to figure out product design , At that time, the specific development work of the product will still be in charge of the development and realization by the two of you.”

"Ah?" Liao Yong said with surprise on his face: "Brother Tian, ​​are you in charge of product design?"

"En." Yang Tian nodded.

"That's great, Brother Tian, ​​you have a lot of ideas, and it's best if you can do product design!" Zhang Yi shouted excitedly from the side: "As for product development, leave it to me and Lao Liao!"

"Yes, that's what I mean." Yang Tian smiled. If it is just designing products, it is not difficult for Yang Tian. He just needs to pick a product from the memory of his previous life.

As for which product?
Yang Tian pursed his lips, it happened a bit suddenly today, and he didn't think it through for a while.

After all, now that he has decided to do it, Yang Tian still has high requirements and expectations for the product to be made.

"Brother Tian, ​​to be honest, do you have any thoughts in your heart?" Liao Yong asked from the side.

"Not yet." Hearing this, Yang Tian waved his hand and said, "But I have some ideas for the time being, let's think about it when I look back."

"Okay!" Liao Yong and Zhang Yi agreed in unison. Seeing that Yang Tian took over the most important product design work, their gloomy mood just now was swept away in an instant.

It is worth mentioning that the technologies on the Internet are almost the same, and there are only a few development languages ​​that go around. Even if you encounter any technical difficulties during the development process, you will get it sooner or later Solutions, so there are many, many people who understand technology.

Regarding this point, Yang Tian, ​​who is a programmer, will not deny it.

But the point is, behind the success of any product, there is an excellent product manager.

Because for Internet products, what really matters is the design of the product. Whether a product can be loved and accepted by the public, the initial design and positioning of the product is its soul.

Of course, it doesn't mean that technology is not important, it's just that it's a little less important than product design.

In general, the two can be regarded as an indispensable relationship.

After a while.

"Also, I will use this time to look for investors. If there is no accident, I will solve the problem of funds." Yang Tian said seriously: "What I mean is that if there is funds by then, it is very likely I would just start a company."

"What? Brother Tian, ​​can you find an investor in advance?" Liao Yong and Zhang Yi looked surprised.

In fact, finding investors is not a very distant thing, but the premise of finding investors must be based on the fact that the product has been produced, or more than half of it has been completed, at least to the extent that it can be shown to those angel investors. .

But now that he didn't even know what the product was, Yang Tian said that he could solve the funding problem, which shocked Liao Yong and Zhang Yi.

"You don't need to worry about this, just wait for my news later." Yang Tian waved his hand with a smile, and then said lightly: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, both of you should study hard in your respective companies now." Let's learn, especially Lao Liao, Baidu's technical ability is still good, you understand what I mean?"

"Okay, I understand." Liao Yong immediately understood.

After a pause, Yang Tian knocked on the table, and suddenly asked Zhang Yi with a serious face: "Old Zhang, tell me about the company you are working for now, and introduce it to me in detail."

"My company?" Zhang Yi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yang Tian would suddenly turn the topic to this. After all, his company was nothing more than an entrepreneurial Internet company. What's there to introduce?
"Yes, tell me about the development history of your company." Yang Tian nodded, with an unusually serious expression on his face.

"Oh." Realizing that Yang Tian seems to be attaching great importance to this matter, Zhang Yi said frankly: "Actually, I only joined this company last week, but after I received the offer, I still want to discuss it in detail. Let’s get to know the company’s background.”

"The company was established in March this year, and it has only been more than four months so far. Now the company has about forty or fifty employees, and our boss is called Zhang Yiming."

Zhang Yiming.
Hearing this name, Yang Tian was shocked, it really was him!

Others may not be familiar with this person, but Yang Tian was particularly impressed by this person.

There is no other reason, because Zhang Yiming is a serial Internet entrepreneur!
This is a person who can still stand up after experiencing many entrepreneurial failures!

If Yang Tian remembers correctly, Zhang Yiming was the technical partner of Fanfou before.

What is rice?That can be called the predecessor of Weibo!As soon as it came out that year, it attracted the attention of many people on the Internet, and the number of users surged!
However, due to irresistible factors, Fanfou was forced to close down.

If it wasn't for this, how could there be Weibo in the future?

After Fanfou, Zhang Yiming also created a collaborative office system, co-founded the travel search website Kuxun with others, and independently founded the real estate information website Jiujiufang.
Of course, all of the above ended in failure.

It is conceivable that Zhang Yiming's previous life experience was a bit rough.

It wasn't until 2012, when Toutiao was launched, that Zhang Yiming's life began to usher in a big turning point!

You know, with today's Toutiao product, Zhang Yiming has the qualifications to challenge Baidu in just a few years!
The company's valuation has risen sharply, reaching a valuation of billions of dollars!
But Yang Tian didn't expect such a coincidence that Zhang Yi actually joined this fledgling company, which brought back these memories of him.

"Today's headlines are not yet online, and Zhang Yiming's company should not be followed by many people. Do I have a chance to enter the game?"

call.
Thinking of this, Yang Tian pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and controlled his slightly agitated emotions.

After a while, Yang Tian asked: "Then what is your product Toutiao doing today? Is it specialized in news content?"

"Well, how should I put this, our company actually has two products now, one is called Neihan Duanzi, which is already online, and the other is the Toutiao made by the project team I am in." Zhang Yi scratched his head, After organizing the language, he said: "Today's headlines are actually not the kind of news content in the traditional sense. Let's put it this way, in fact, our product mainly uses crawler technology to grab the content of other news websites, and then publish it on the Internet. Our products are displayed to users."

"Sure enough." Hearing this, Yang Tian nodded and muttered, one must know that making news content requires a huge editorial team, and it is obvious that today's Toutiao cannot be so strong. strength, and according to Yang Tian's understanding, Toutiao will always maintain this role of not being a content producer, but only a content porter.

As for the product of Neihan Duanzi, Yang Tian certainly knew about it. If he remembered correctly, most of the users of Toutiao in the early stage were attracted by Nei Nei Duanzi.

"Why is that so?" Hearing Yang Tian's muttering, Zhang Yi was a little confused.

"Nothing." Yang Tian waved his hand, and after a while, he asked seriously: "Old Zhang, I have a question for you. Is your company short of money?"
