Chapter 545: Space is tangible, dreams are unlimited

Zhang Yiming took out his notebook directly from the side. Without a projector, the three of them gathered in front of the computer and began to introduce the results of the past year directly on it.

Products such as 99 rooms, funny and embarrassing pictures, car life, sharp quotes, must-reads in the morning and evening, and must-see today.

Real estate, comedy, news, cars, and videos are everywhere.

An hour later, nearly 10 products were introduced. Regardless of the results, Chen Hao was very surprised at the other party's output efficiency.

He was impressed by the many projects accomplished by just a few dozen people.

Both Wang Xing and Zhang Yiming chose to be large and comprehensive, while the former ALLIN to a website, while the latter chose to attack with an entire army.

"You two are very ambitious. I want to hear your thoughts."

Zhang Yiming doesn't like to talk much on weekdays and only works. But once he talks about the project, he talks endlessly, "Cast the net everywhere, which is similar to the investment philosophy. Keep the ones with potential, give up the ones that fail, and then discuss and find the next idea, just like solving a problem." Find the optimal solution and then make a directional breakthrough.

But for now, we plan to get traffic first and see the project potential from the data.

Mr. Chen, I listed these 8 products on the surface. In fact, we have tried more than 20 products, and the others that failed are not listed. "

Chen Hao looked at the data reports of each website on his computer.

The largest website has only a few hundred thousand users, which obviously cannot catch Chen Hao's eye. He only asked one question, "Has it met your expectations now?"

The two shook their heads, "Our expectation is for a million-level product, but there is still a gap."

Chen Hao didn't comment and directly threw out three consecutive attacks of Soul Torture.

"Let me make an assumption first. Assume that these websites have millions of users. Have they figured out their profit models? How to monetize them? What is the rate of return?"

silence

It’s not that Zhang and Liang don’t want to answer, they have also been stuck in the unresolved problem of the previous issue. Although they have thought about the issue of profitability, they have not figured out the answer for several months.

It was like a huge and beautiful balloon that was punctured by Chen Hao, revealing its original broken appearance.

Chen Hao doesn't blame them. As an investor, he must require a return on investment ratio. It's just that they are special, so they have to take some strong medicine.

"If I don't come, how long can your funds last?"

Zhang Yiming thought for a few seconds, "At most half a year."

"What about half a year from now?"

Without a means of profit, the result of burning out the money is obvious.

Zhang Yiming remained silent because of guilt.

Chen Hao saw that the heat was almost there, so he changed the topic, "Does Brother Ma from Tencent know?"

Who doesn't know this? The two nodded.

“At the beginning, QQ had hundreds of millions of users, tens of millions of them were online, and no one took the offer for 300 million. Finally, someone offered 60, which made Brother Ma become so angry that he left angrily.

During Tencent's most difficult period, it could hardly even afford the server rental fee. Later, it got a lot of investment and made a lot of money, which forced it to develop the current QQ game hall, QQ show, various colors of diamond membership value-added services and Advertising is slowly making money and developing. "

It turns out that being as powerful as Tencent has such a difficult side, which surprised the two of them.

<divclass="contentadv">"I just looked at these projects. They are small and messy but not refined. It is right to make breakthroughs at fixed points, but you are too hesitant.

The truth of biting off more than you can chew must be viewed in relative terms. If you have a good appetite like Century Zongheng, you can certainly eat as much as you want, but this is not exactly what your 10 million start-up company should do.

In addition, money is not saved, but earned. Saving money only slows down the cycle of corporate death. It is delayed from one year to one and a half years. After half a year, the situation will be brighter? That's a fairy tale for adults! "

The two of them nodded repeatedly as they listened, as if they had some understanding.

Chen Hao continued to ask, "If you choose three out of these eight, which three will you choose?"

Zhang and Liang discussed for a while and gave their answers: "Must-see sooner or later, must-read today and Room 99."

"Did you notice anything? The must-read books sooner or later and the must-read books today actually have a lot in common, and since both of you chose this, I have an idea that may be helpful to your current situation."

Chen Haotu gave a brief description of the two big killers of Bytedance in the future, Toutiao and Douyin, and guided the two of them to gradually understand each other in a gentle and gentle voice.

Zhang Yiming suggested, "How about merging the two and using an intelligent recommendation algorithm to push news that users are interested in, making it a must-see today?"

Liang Rubo thought for a moment and shook his head, "Today is a must-see, a must-see. It feels like it's forcing users. Since it's a news website, Toutiao has the most gimmicks and attracts the most attention. How about calling it Toutiao today?"

After speaking, he looked at Chen Hao. The latter nodded happily and answered quickly. His teaching was worthy of his words.

Graphic news was available, and video news was also put on Chen Hao’s agenda, and Douyin also appeared naturally.

"Douyin, Toutiao, and 99fang are the three areas where we will focus our efforts. My suggestion for other projects is to stop them all. Those who achieve great things must have the courage to cut off their wrists. Of course, the decision-making power is still in your hands!"

The two nodded heavily to show their understanding.

In the evening, Chen Hao had a meal with all the employees of Doudou Technology in this private house in Jinxiu Homestead.

During the meeting, Liang Rubo asked his employees to go out to nearby Haidilao in advance to pack their bags and prepare to cook hot pot together in the evening. During the meeting, Chen Hao drank some wine with everyone, and several employees came over to ask for autographs and photos. It was like a star-chasing party.

As a result, at around 8 o'clock that night, many users of websites such as 99 Rooms, Funny Pictures, Car Life, Sharp Quotations, Morning and Evening Must-reads, and Today's Must-Watch found that the website could not be opened. It took more than ten minutes for the website to return to normal.

It turned out that it was because Chen Hao and the others turned on four induction cookers at the same time that the circuit breaker tripped, and the main control computer that controls the server was in the room.

Hey, this happened. Originally, the two families planned to invest another 1000 million each. But when the power went out, Chen Hao felt a little bit to blame and felt a little sorry.

Before leaving, he called Zhang Yiming to the cabin alone and handed over a check, "I will give you another 1500 million. There is only one request. The operations and profits of Toutiao, Douyin, and 99fang are all clear. I think Your subsequent performance.”

Zhang Yiming drank a lot just now. He couldn't hide the excitement on his face and even choked up. "Thank you boss for your appreciation. I can't repay you for it."

Chen Hao quickly stopped the other party's statement, "Don't act like you have been wandering for half your life. I believe you will ride the wind one day and become a blockbuster! But I will leave you with eight more words at the end. This is from a construction site I passed by on the way here. There’s a slogan on it that I think suits you well.”

He looked at the lively atmosphere and the limited room outside the door, and patted Zhang Yiming's thin shoulder.

"Space is tangible, dreams are unlimited, come on! Prove that our technology is not limited to Hello World!"

After saying hello to everyone outside the door, he left.

Zhang Yiming looked at Chen Hao's leaving figure with light in his eyes and murmured,

Space is tangible, dreams are unlimited, what the boss said is really good.
