Chapter 419 Poach me?you are not qualified now
"Come, come, please come in!"

Zhang Lidong and Zhang Nan enthusiastically let Han Lie and the others into the room, and arranged various hospitality supplies.

"Xiao Luo, go get a fruit plate, bake some small pastries, etc. Wanwan, come and make coffee with me..."

Zhang Yiming led Han Lie and others into the bedroom on the left.

"This is the office we first rented..."

There is obvious embarrassment in the tone, it is true that the scene is full of emotion.

Pan Zi and Hao Zi nodded silently, marveling in their hearts—how did this damn kid get so many tricks?It's amazing!

Back in this private house, everyone in Byte is in a different state of mind.

Liu Minghao said to Zhang Nan politely: "Don't bother little brother, we have a cup of instant coffee to deal with it, and it's the same when we're busy, keep everything simple."

Zhang Nan said with a smile: "No trouble, Ronaldinho is our chef. He was a member of the team when he first opened the business. These are all familiar things."

"Huh!"

Pan Zi pretended to be surprised: "You built the staff canteen so early?"

Zhang Lidong smiled and said: "When we first recruited, we chanted the slogan of 'reject waste oil, provide healthy meals three times a day'. The kitchen of this house has never been idle for a day!"

"The details are so thoughtful!"

Pan Zi gave a thumbs up and praised him severely.

There was a lively chat here, Han Lie followed Zhang Yiming to the balcony.

Putting your hands on the window sill, looking around, you can see a very ordinary residential area downstairs - densely packed high-rises, windows like pigeon nests, slightly rusted railings, and a narrow blue sky.

Zhang Yiming, who came back here, was very relaxed, and began to chat naturally and smoothly.

"Look!"

Pointing his fingers at the signboard downstairs, he said with emotion: "That China Resources Vanguard supermarket has carried the memories of us working overtime many times all night.

Before going back to catch up on sleep in the morning, Rubo, Qiuliang and Saumell, I and I always go there to get a box of instant noodles, add sausage and eggs, put them in the microwave and cook them, then have a bag of peanuts with two cans of beer, chat and imagine future……"

The entry point is here.

Han Lie's eyes flashed, and he asked enthusiastically, "What will byte look like in your future?"

"It is a company that achieves the ultimate in pragmatism and romance!"

Zhang Yiming's answer blurted out.

Han Lie found it very interesting, and asked again: "There is no specific standard and scale, only the most basic attributes?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Yiming nodded firmly: "I don't know how big Byte can be, but I hope that no matter how big it is, it will always be the carrier of my ideals and the cohesion of all of our dreams, not just a tool that can make a lot of money. ..."

As a psychological master, Han Lie could tell that Lao Zhang was serious.

In fact, when Lao Zhang resigned from the position of CEO of Fang 99, he had basically achieved financial freedom.

This dude is undeniably a genius.

Graduated from university in 05, became the chairman of Kuxun's technical committee in 07, went to Microsoft in 08, and became the technical partner of the first microblog "Fanfou" in the same year. In 09, Haina Asia took the initiative to find him to invest 99 rooms, achieved the No. [-] real estate category at that time.

Now he is definitely not as fierce as Han Lie in making money, but his material desires are also much lower than Han Lie's.

Normal people make money, enjoy themselves, and improve their social status, but this big brother likes challenges, doing valuable things, and realizing valuable dreams.

Han Lie realized that if he starts from the three views of personality, then he and Zhang Yiming are actually two completely different people.

It's hard to talk, and it's hard to be a real friend.

So... still have to engage in routines!
"How do you resolve the conflict between being pragmatic and romantic?"

"I don't think there's a conflict."

Zhang Yiming shook his head, and explained in a very idealistic way: "Everyone tends to regard doing easy things as being pragmatic, but it is not. Doing the right thing is being pragmatic, and short-term speculation is not being pragmatic.

Being empathetic is pragmatic, being imaginative is romantic.

Empathy is the foundation, imagination is the sky, and in between are logic and tools.

With such a set of guiding ideology, we can turn our imagination into reality, face reality and change it. "

After speaking, he looked at Han Lie expectantly.

The current Lao Zhang didn't have too much confidence when facing Han Lie.

He is a genius, why not Han Lie?

If considering the age factor, Han Lie, who is less than 20 years old, is more successful than him when he was 30 years old.

The two funds had a floating profit of 30 billion in one and a half months, and the management fees and profit dividends alone have exceeded his net worth, not to mention other aspects of influence.

As a lonely genius, it is only natural for him to hope to be recognized by another genius.

Han Lie worked hard to describe Zhang Yiming's character, analyzed his narration, and soon had a plan in his mind.

"Very good, you summed up the romance of science students for me."

The actor smiled brightly, and sped up his speech with a little excitement.

"Those exquisite and literary odes are not our romance, but rough and grand new things are.

Those new things that are full of vitality, future-oriented, and full of possibilities are rough at the beginning, and we will give birth to them, shouting to the world, and announcing the arrival of an era... There is nothing more romantic than this It's over!

do you know?

The fundamental reason why I like finance is precisely because this market is full of uncertainties.

Only the wisest, most resolute, and bravest people can embrace this uncertainty with joy until it is conquered and turned into certainty. The sense of accomplishment is unparalleled!
And to do all this, we must abandon short-term speculation and be extremely pragmatic!

Is it the opposite of what you imagined?
You may think that I am a financial speculator, but I am not. Purely speculative thinking cannot do well in finance. Only by grasping the essence, going through the hustle and bustle, respecting the market, and understanding human nature can we make long-term stable profits.

Yiming, we are very similar!

I am more rational and pragmatic than you, but you have a romance that I do not have, so you are more suitable for the Internet, and I am more suitable for financial affairs.

But in essence we are one of a kind!

I like challenges, yearn for greatness, and want to make our own voice in this era..."

Zhang Yiming clenched his fist tightly.

I thought to myself: what happened to this sudden secondary school? !
But he doesn't hate it.

Even being agitated a little emotionally.

"I like your summary very much. Seize the essence, go through the hustle and bustle, respect the market, and understand human nature. It is the standard in the financial market, and it is the same for us who make products.

Only with this level of pragmatism, and then unleashing our imaginations to the skies, is it possible to create miracles! "

That's for sure...

You are a man of science and technology, you are not interested in "exquisite and literary praises" at first glance, your mind is full of codes, and you dream of making the best products. Gou Lie has already figured out you thoroughly. Fudge a quasi? !
Zhang Yiming was completely inspired to talk.

He talked endlessly with Han Lie about all the hardships in the process of creating Toutiao.

"When Toutiao was still very simple and there was very little information, we imagined that Toutiao's feed (information flow) was connected to a smart antenna, and the antenna was connected to the boundless ocean of information. Return the information that interests you most at this moment.

If there is no imagination, we may only make a matching popular application, rather than a personalized recommendation-based information distribution platform.

It was at the end of 2012, I called all PM (product managers) and RD (R&D engineers) to have a meeting.

Core topic: To be an information platform, it seems that it is necessary to make a personalized recommendation engine well.Should we start this matter now?

At that time, many students worried that we did not have the genes and abilities, and expressed their worries.

I said: We can't recommend it, but we can learn it!

So I found the author of the book "Recommended System Practice" and asked him for an electronic version.

He said that the book hadn't been published yet, so he refused to give it to me, which seriously delayed the progress of our company's recommendation ability.I can only find information on the Internet and imagine that I wrote the first version of the recommendation engine.

Now, the author of this book is already working in our company..."

Han Lie listened carefully, and analyzed more of Zhang Yiming's personality traits.

This big guy has some tenacity.

And the most amazing thing is not his talent of writing programs based on simple information, but the thinking mode that directly points to the essence of the problem and likes to solve the problem from the root.

In the future, the reason why Douyin can grab the meat of e-commerce from Ali's mouth is precisely the embodiment of this strategic ability to grasp the core contradictions.

Therefore, Han Lie had to let him recognize his own value, otherwise it would be impossible to enter the game.

After chatting to the ups and downs, the two sides sat alternately in the living room and held a forum.

The founder team of Byte has always been a team that likes to "chat".

When I was recruiting before, I invited people to come to the company to hold a "sharing meeting". When I was looking for investment in the first two rounds, I asked investors to talk about their opinions. In the future, I will hold a meeting with the creators of Toutiao...

They are very good at drawing ideas from the outside.

Zhang Lidong and Pan Zi asked for advice on management experience, Zhang Nan and Liu Minghao asked about the legal issues currently facing the company, and the chat was in full swing.

Then, the content of the chat naturally transferred to the public opinion environment of Toutiao.

Zhang Yiming suddenly turned his head and asked Han Lie: "Mr. Han, the restaurant I cooked at the beginning was shut down by the regulatory authorities because of the public opinion turmoil. What do you think of the risks and challenges that Toutiao is facing at the level of public opinion?"

In an instant, all eyes were focused.

coming!

The re-use of the word "you" means that this is the rhythm of formally starting negotiations.

As a founder of a company, ask questions to investors.

Everyone present knew that this question was Zhang Yiming's personal investigation of Han Lie.

The most superficial level is a routine consultation.

Threesomes must have my teacher, and if you look at Toutiao from an external perspective, you will definitely have a different feeling.

The second level is to examine whether Han Lie has the "qualification to travel with him".

If you don't know enough about our products and can't provide other key resources, why should we accept your investment?

The third layer is to examine "how high a perspective" Han Lie has.

If you are awesome, please show it. If it can bring us inspiration, thinking, and guidance, not only investment is easy to discuss, but also the right to speak is not impossible.

The three meanings are progressive. This is Zhang Yiming, who has no shortage of investment, and opened a "qualification match" for Han Lie alone.

Han Lie naturally wanted to understand this point and realized the importance of this issue.

It is different from the previous small talk, and it has already involved the overall strategic planning of Byte’s core products.

This is the only chance to speak freely and point fingers.

Then, while thinking, Han Lie suddenly realized the deepest meaning of this question——

Is there a possibility...

Zhang Yiming also wanted to take this opportunity to test my personality, to see if I am the kind of investor with a strong desire to control?
Good guy, it's possible to go too far!

Therefore, it is not enough to talk about this problem.

If you are too shallow, you will be ridiculed, and the byte will look down on Teacher Han's quality.

It's even better to be too specific.

As an investor, if you have so many ideas and desires for practical operation, will you suddenly feel that the founder team is of mediocre level, and then you will seize the power and go to the battle yourself?

If a strong desire to control is exposed, then one hundred percent will be out.

Therefore, there is almost only one solution to this problem——

Summarize and refine the essence of the problem at a sufficient height, but do not give a specific solution, and stop at the end, fully respect the rights of the founder team!

Difficult... Really damn difficult!
Han Lie cried out in his heart, but in fact, his whole body was on fire.

Is it not difficult to do big things?

I love this kind of difficult challenge!
Han Lie lifted his spirits, took out his cigarette and signaled to them: "Have a cigarette, don't you mind?"

"Give me one!"

The old smoker Zhang Lidong laughed and joined in the fun, dispelling the slightly dignified atmosphere.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Minghao also came over to get cigarettes, asked them one by one, and helped light the cigarettes, giving Han Lie time to think about it.

Pan Zi watched calmly, as steady as Maitreya Buddha.

He positions himself as the last ballast, and if the result is not satisfactory, he will use his method to make a final attempt.

After all the smokers had lit their cigarettes, Han Lie finally organized his words and spoke calmly.

"Fanfou's failure, I understand something. Let me tell you something that you may not like to hear - it's closed well! That product is indeed a bit of a mess in the later stage."

Everyone was stunned.

Good guy, are you really talking endlessly? !
However, Zhang Yiming, who should be the most angry, didn't care.

His heart is very broad, Han Lie has long been sure.

Zhang Yiming nodded and said: "Your criticism is justified, so I have no complaints against the regulatory authorities, but this incident still cast some shadows on me.

If the headlines only do news aggregation, naturally there is no need to worry about repeating the same mistakes.

But we launched the creator plan in January, and we will cooperate with self-media on a large scale in the future... Can you understand what I am worried about? "

"of course."

Han Lie nodded his head heavily, and then made an extremely coherent and incisive exposition, smashing it down on everyone.

"In our country, any news media platform with an open comment area must face 'sabotage' from netizens.

Toutiao not only opens up comments, but even grants self-media independent creative rights, and uses a unique recommendation mechanism to recommend content to a large number of people who hold the same views.

Therefore, the enthusiasm of Toutiao users to comment will increase significantly.

On the one hand, this will help increase user stickiness, push up daily activity data, drive user loyalty, and form an explosive growth that is difficult to compete with.

On the other hand, the user's enthusiasm and the company's incentive mechanism will in turn give rise to self-media in the direction of "gaining eyeballs" and never look back.

This will create a huge public opinion risk.

And what is the most dangerous?
We must be clearly aware that "Jianzheng" itself is the nature of netizens, and the fundamental conflict in ideology has led to this nature being always guided by an organized, planned, and purposeful...

Once all kinds of smears are rampant, is it possible for Toutiao to follow in the footsteps of Fanfou?

I think there are. "

shock!
There was a sudden silence in the living room.

The first half is Han Lie's analysis of the Toutiao model, which is precise and profound.

The latter sentence sharply explained what is meant by the "destructiveness" of netizens, and it directly dug up the grave of the ancestors.

Are the young people nowadays so demonic? !
Zhang Lidong and others didn't understand, but they were greatly shocked.

However, this is just the beginning.

Brother Lie wants to open up, how can it be so simple? !

"I don't have any ideas about Toutiao's operation and self-regulation, but I have a desire to express myself on the topic of the intensifying ideological conflict. Let me talk about it, everyone.

What is an ideological conflict?
Everyone can understand it, so I won't repeat it.

Why is there such a fierce ideological conflict?
In fact, the root of this problem lies in our financial field.

Let me draw a conclusion first—ideological conflicts come from a certain country’s extreme pressure on us.

The limit means that this kind of pressure comes from many fields and is extremely deep.

The so-called pressure from public opinion is only part of it.

If you want to analyze it in detail, you must first look at the big picture.

Everyone knows that a certain country is the world's financial hegemony and has always used financial means to harvest global wealth.

Before 07, it was the honeymoon period of our two countries. A large amount of international capital invested in our country to earn high development dividends. At the same time, the foreign exchange we created bought a large amount of its national debt to stabilize the financial market for it.

From the perspective of financial capital, we come and go, peeling off our two layers of skin.

From the perspective of trade, the cheap industrial products we provide help them maintain a long-term low domestic CPI, allowing them to print money and issue bonds on a large scale without triggering inflation.

This is another benefit.

But for us at that time, after careful calculation-oh, it’s not a big problem, we can afford two layers of skinning, and we can still make money.

Well, then continue to cooperate.

Use their capital and markets to develop our industry.

So since the 80s, we have maintained a very close relationship with a certain country, with occasional twists and turns, but they are all minor details.

Until 07, the subprime mortgage crisis occurred in their country.

At this time, in order to pass on the crisis, they started a long and intense QE, quantitative easing.

Wall Street financial capital is exporting inflation to the world like crazy, and we can't handle this flood. We have already lost too much money, so we have to protect ourselves, so we have a fundamental confrontational conflict with them.

It was also at this time that the policy of the Oreo government suddenly turned 180 degrees and began to return to the Asia-Pacific with a high profile.

What is the ultimate pressure?
What is the strategic purpose?

In essence, it requires us to open up financial controls, continue to buy their national debt on a large scale, bear inflation for them, and use our wealth to fill their holes.

This fundamental confrontation not only gave birth to various blockades, various independence, and various peripheral conflicts, but also gave birth to strong public opinion noises.

I use noise to describe it because our government has always maintained a high degree of strategic focus, insisting on development as the main goal, and not getting entangled in details.

But that doesn't mean the cacophony isn't scary.

Judging from the intensity of investment, a certain country has invested at least billions of dollars in the bias of public opinion led by the Internet trolls.

In what year was Fanfou closed?
Around July 2009, right?

That's when the navy is at its craziest, roughest, and most direct.

Yiming, if you think about it carefully now, the various attacks on us on Fanfou are spontaneously formed by netizens, or are they guided by dogs?

Have our people really endured so much injustice and accumulated so much resentment?
Or is it just some small dots, but they are taken advantage of by those who want to enlarge them forcibly?
If you can correctly recognize that this is an act of the state and a modern war on another level, then you will understand that whether it is a headline or a joke, you will have to face the same situation for a long time to come. environment.

The creative freedom of creators must be guaranteed, and the freedom of voice of critics must be taken care of. However, all of these must occur in a correct environment and within a healthy limit.

How to balance it will test your team's micromanagement skills.

Get over it, the future looks bright.

Failure to learn from experience and lessons, failure to deeply realize the root of the problem, and paralysis will cause unbearable things to happen again.

My opinion is roughly like this, the specific details are not my expertise, and I need your collective efforts..."

Quiet.

Until Han Lie finished speaking for more than ten seconds, the living room was still deadly quiet.

Zhang Yiming, Zhang Lidong, Zhang Nan...

All dull.

It was as if there was such a big bell in his head, and the bang bang bang bang crazily, making his brain bubbling.

Immortal, I just want to ask about the self-examination standards at the platform level, have you dug up the roots? !
Shocked!

It was too shocking!

In all fairness, Zhang Yiming and others are not unaware of the existence of the navy, but they really did not expect to be able to interpret the root of the problem from such a height.

On the one hand, they did not study financial economics. On the other hand, they also lack an overall understanding of the international environment.

In 2014, those who can really see through this point must at least be the masters in the country's senior think tanks.

How old is Han Lie this year?
"I……"

Zhang Yiming opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything, and his whole body was still numb.

If Ma Yun talks to him about these things, then it’s enough to just worship him. I’m convinced, isn’t it okay?
But Han Lie said this...

Not only does it have a deafening effect, but it also has a special stimulus - "Is there really such a big gap in intelligence between people? I can't accept it!!!"

Well, let alone them, even Pan Zi, who knows the little red guy very well, put his head on the back of the chair at this moment, shrunk back vigorously, and protruded a trembling hand and foot numb...

Who said that there is no emperor in the human race? !

My eldest son, Han Lie, is an emperor among emperors!

In the end, the cold scene was broken by Han Lie's "Zi Liu" when drinking coffee.

Zhang Lidong, who had regained his composure, slapped the table with a "bang" and jumped up, his eyes were red with excitement.

"Mr. Han, come to work in our company! The chief strategic analyst is none other than you!"

Han Lie raised his eyebrows with a meaningful smile.

Dig me, you are definitely not qualified now.

How about...let's talk about investing?

*******
God of Crabs bless you, please don’t delete any more...
