Rebirth 2002: Chic Life

Chapter 356 Have you heard of beer and diapers?

Wang Hui and Pei Jiaxue are women, no matter how reserved they are, it is very necessary.

Tang Peng was not reserved at all. He heard that Wu Dong was back on the phone, so he took the elevator from the 18th floor to the 20th floor.

When Tang Peng came, Wu Dong had no choice but to reject the two ladies.

Wu Dong rejected the 18-year-old pure and lovely Pei Jiaxue, and the 24-year-old mature and capable Wang Hui;

What he was facing now was Tang Peng, a 38-year-old bearded rough man.

"Hahaha, Mr. Wu, here are the rabbits and chickens, bald eagles, John Bulls, white elephants, camels we designed...Look at this rabbit, this big ears, long legs..."

The animation studio has been working for several days, but the painting style is still too serious, too beautiful is not Wu Dong's favorite style.

Wu Dong doesn't want to make any second creations for the works that have been proven, he wants to be authentic.

Wu Dong casually took a bottle of mineral water provided by the hotel, "Have a bottle?"

Tang Peng said with a smile: "No, I drank a lot of tea from below and came up."

Wu Dong unscrewed the mineral water and took a few sips, "Boss Tang, have you seen the midnight bell?"

"Have you seen it?" Tang Peng hesitated.

"Mr. Wu, are you staying in the hotel alone? You're scared! Want me to accompany you?"

Damn, this guy is still hesitating.

Wu Dong tapped the sketch that looked like a bunny girl, "If our fighters are drawn like this, do you believe that the audience will crawl out of the TV and chop you?"

"And this one, is the one with the wide-brimmed hat Korean? It's so troublesome to use, look at me..."

Wu Dong took out the pencil provided by the hotel from the hotel's message book, "Shut up! Here you are!"

Tang Peng picked it up and looked left and right, "Mr. Wu, which character is your stick?"

"Bad boy!"

Wu Dong took another sip of mineral water, "Is it simple enough?"

Tang Peng grinned, "It turns out that Mr. Wu is what you want, so let me ask again. I know the Gaul chicken, but which one is the foot pot chicken?"

"Transliteration! It's impolite to come and go. They clearly know Chinese characters and dare to call us 'only take'."

Tang Peng laughed loudly, "The foot pot chicken, hahaha, their heads are called egg yolks!"

……

Tang Peng and Wu Dong chatted until late at night. Wu Dong's painting skills are real, but his expression ability is not bad. At 11:25, Tang Peng left satisfied with the sketch finalized by the two of them after more than three hours.

Shall I call Wang Hui or Pei Jiaxue over at this time?
It's too deliberate, it feels bad, and it doesn't respect people, this is not Wu Dong's style!

On the 18th floor, in Wu Dong's studio, the lights in the assistant's room were on all night.

Pei Jiaxue and Fang Yunyao's rented a house, Xiaoxue said she wanted to watch TV after taking a shower, but she curled up on the sofa and fell asleep.
-
Monday, December 2003, 12, Langlang Media conference room.

The atmosphere is relaxed.

Where Wu Dong was, the atmosphere was very relaxed.

"I know, you all think that our precise push is already ahead of the entire network."

Long Wenxuan, Alman Galligos, and Feng Li'an sat in the front row. They were the technical director, algorithm engineer, and distributed storage engineer respectively.

Out of respect for the boss, several of them and the technical backbone behind them also put on a serious expression together with the core employees of the operation department.

Just now the boss talked about the development prospects of Langlang Media and the specific operation of some super business. They don't understand, but they really think it's awesome!
However, now that the boss started to talk about technology, Alman Galligos unconsciously smiled with disdain. He is a doctoral student exchanged between Qingbei University and Petersburg University, and he barely passed the Chinese level.

Alman Galligos understood the workplace culture, and when he smiled, he felt that something was wrong. Just about to adjust his expression, the two programmers next to him "呵...", "Hahaha..." laughed.

Wu Dong laughed and pointed at these programmers.

"So you've all heard about the case of beer and diapers?"

……

"What?"

"what?"

"What's the boss talking about, beer and piss?"

"The boss says beer is like horse urine!"

"The boss is talking about diapers, beer and diapers."

Not only the people on the operation side are inexplicable, but the technical department is also confused.

……

Wu Dong waited for a minute, taking in all their reactions.

After all, Wu Dong graduated from a normal university. Being a teacher in an art school can train people better than a university teacher.

In his 20 years of teaching career, he has never seen any poor students.

What should students do if they are dissatisfied with the teacher?
Then ask a few questions that they can't answer at all, and suppress their momentum!
Diapers were invented in 1961, and it was 1994 that China began to popularize diapers.

The theory of beer and diapers is a classic case in the field of data analysis and data mining, but he became well-known in China around 2015.

In 2003, these people in front of them definitely didn't know.

"You know about Wal-Mart, right?"

Wal-Mart entered China in 1996, and it has basically spread out in first-tier cities in China.

Everyone is nodding.

This is rhythm control. If you keep saying what they don't know, they will lose the context; if you say what the audience knows, your authority will not be maintained.

In fact, it's like fishing, pull and let go.

Rhythm in everything!

Nine shallow and one deep, up, down, left, right, and right are all rhythms.

"This story happened in 1993. The data analysts of Wal-Mart Supermarket found that customers who bought diapers often bought beer, so the supermarket deliberately placed beer and diapers together. As a result, the sales of both products increased significantly. "

Wu Dong deliberately did not explain, and he continued: "Actually, all the four-tiered shelves in the supermarket are placed on the third shelf where users can easily access them, and what products are popular in which seasons, and which products are placed on which holidays. ...these are calculated precisely..."

Wu Dong put his hands on the table, his voice was calm and firm, and the audience couldn't help but feel a sense of trust in him.

He suddenly raised his voice, "There is no need to increase the cost, but the sales volume is getting higher and higher, how can your peers compete with you!!!"

"We are the same! Weibo is now far ahead, but we can't stop the pace of progress. Every small progress we have made is a high wall to stop the pursuers!

In their view, Weibo has no secrets, or if you invest a little more money and dig a few more stars to settle in, you can overthrow us, dreaming! ! ! "

"Huh, huh, huh, huh..."

The audience was driven by Wu Dong.

The young people were all blushing and thick-necked, and they were quite excited.

Wu Dong pressed down with both hands, and the audience became a little quieter.

"Boss, what happened to the beer and diapers?" Armand Galligos asked.

"That's right, you haven't said it yet." Everyone came to their senses.

Wu Dong laughed, "This is data mining and data analysis.

In a family with a baby, the mother usually takes care of the baby at home, and the young father goes to the supermarket to buy diapers.

When the father buys diapers, he often buys beer for himself. In this way, two seemingly irrelevant products, beer and diapers, often appear in the same shopping basket.

If the distance between the two items is far, the father who wanted to buy beer because of time constraints may not have time to buy beer after buying diapers.

Wal-Mart figured it out, and dads who weren't expecting to buy beer were going to pick up a dozen..."

……

All thoughtful.

Long Wenxuan hesitated, "We've added keywords to each weibo, and we're also collecting users' preferences..."

Wu Dong shook his head and said to himself, 'Where the fuck is this!In the future, big data will be able to control everyone to death!
I just read a few pornographic books, and Bai Du pushed the masturbation cup to me!

Tiaobao even pushes condoms for me every day; the text message on the mobile phone says that the young lady who lives nearby and comes out to work and study can come to chat with me, and do not answer drunkenness and violence...

Find someone to reason with!I said that the website was clicked on accidentally, does anyone believe it? '

Wu Dong said in a deep voice: "Not enough! Not enough!

We say it is accurate, but it is not accurate at all.

What time does the user usually go online, is the location of the Internet at home or an Internet cafe, whether it is in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen or remote mountainous areas, his work and rest habits, and the celebrities he follows are all data that can be collected on the surface.

In-depth analysis of data, judging his favorite content, consumption direction, and consumption ability are the basis for us to increase customer stickiness and accurately push advertisements!

I just want to mention the direction of development. Technological progress should be made little by little, and the rewards of various algorithm patents should keep up! "

Internet companies have a position called architects, they don't write code, they just assign work;
The boss of the company doesn't have to be technically savvy. Niu Yun is an English teacher, so he got Ari up.

Wu Dong's advanced vision convinced the programmers, and they were even more excited when they heard that the algorithm patent company would reward them, and they all geared up.

Wu Dong smiled and said: "Take your time, the technical department will implement a 12-level salary system in the future, and the average annual salary of 50 is our development direction."

"Huh, huh, huh, huh..." 7 or 8 programmers applauded wildly, making dozens of people move.

The little girl in the sales department looked at the programmer with ambiguous eyes.

Wu Dong turned to the male managers who had a bad face, and laughed, "Treat everyone equally, and the company's senior management will discuss a specific salary standard later...

Everyone, the future is bright!We work together! ! ! "

……

After the conference, it was a small meeting, with only a few department heads.

"Mr. Wu!" Mu Shengnan called out.

As soon as Wu Dong looked up, Mu Shengnan gave him a thumbs up, Zhang Bin, Fu Sijia, Lan Yuechun, Long Wenxuan also nodded.

"Mr. Wu, is the case you just mentioned true, or fabricated?"

Wu Dong glanced at him, "This story was published in Fortune magazine in 1998. It was a joint project between IBM and Wal-Mart. I probably read it outside the wall."

……

For a small meeting, the managers of several departments made full preparations, but Wu Dong became more relaxed...

Zhang Bin was still babbling, "Wang Fei has been a mentor for three days. My friends on the TV station said that they can't sit still anymore. In President Wu's words, let us decide..."

Wu Dong's cell phone was muted, but the text messages could not be blocked.He was reading Zhu Siliu's message: Mr. Wu, the singer in my hometown needs you...

Wu Dong smiled lightly, and replied: All TV station leaders, I have met with you, and I am also embarrassed about the key...
