In this life, we don’t even talk about love dogs.

Chapter 686 Halfway to Success (4000 words)
After the New Year, Ye Ge held an annual meeting for Bilibili, Mihoyo and ByteDance respectively, summarizing the previous year and looking forward to 2013.

As for Station B, Ye Ge actually has nothing much to say, just keep it well and don't mess around.
Bilibili is still performing stably today and has become the largest online video platform in China, without a doubt!

Even the number of users of Bilibili exceeds that of the second place by a large margin.

And Bilibili has become a representative word for young people.

With the popularity of smart phones and Bilibili's investment in advertising traffic, almost every young person has downloaded Bilibili on their mobile phone.

It's not just young people. Many elderly people also use Bilibili and some have even opened accounts on it.

The most popular area is the dance area.

There’s no way around it, the dance area is truly suitable for all ages!
From eight years old to eighty years old, who doesn’t like to watch beautiful sisters dancing in various clothes?

This is the result of Ye Ge's active crackdown. Otherwise, the borderline in the dance area was even more serious. Sometimes you even suspected that you were not in a dance area, but a brothel.
After the crackdown, management has become stricter. Although it is not as blatant as before, these UP hosts have tried to skirt the rules and made the track more diversified.

It’s true that human creativity is truly unlimited.

Especially in adversity, human creativity can unleash amazing potential.

After Ye Ge's self-discipline, the dance area of ​​​​Bilibili has a feeling of blooming and becoming even more fascinating.

Originally, the dance area of ​​​​Bilibili was vulgar, but it gave people a sense of explicitness.

As a result, the dance area of ​​​​Bilibili now gives people a sense of literary and artistic style.

It’s like in the past, when you went to the side streets and alleys, and then you met a girl standing at the intersection, and you felt good about her, you could have in-depth learning and communication with her.

But it is different now.

Now, the dance area of ​​Bilibili is actually like a brothel.

There is singing, dancing and everything else in it, and the most important thing is elegance.

And this is the most addictive.

For example, there is someone who writes calligraphy.

This girl is really good at calligraphy. She seems to be in the wedding planning business. But she is pretty, has nice legs and is pretty fair.

The most important thing is that when this girl wears jeans, the fullness of her breasts is fully supported, forming a perfect peach shape.

The various comments below the comment section are:

“This word is really full!”

“This word is in good condition!”

"The handwriting is awesome and beautiful."

"This uploader writes really well. By the way, what did this uploader just write?"

In addition to the writing track, there is also a dressing track, which is called dressing, but in fact, everyone is more sexy than the other.

In every video, there are many male sisters who go to learn, but the focus of learning is never on dressing.

And then there's the piano track.

Some girls who are good at playing the piano were dressed very sexily and played the piano there. However, some viewers watched the whole video and found that their volume was not turned up.

Various tracks are flourishing.

You say that they violated the rules, but they didn't. They didn't expose anything, and the focus was on exchanging ideas about music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, as well as dressing styles.

But if you say that they violated the rules, it seems that they did.

Well, you can't tell exactly where they violated the rules.

In addition, the live broadcast on Bilibili is also extremely popular.

However, there are now several live broadcast companies emerging on the Internet, so Ye Ge is thinking about whether to divert the live broadcast of Bilibili.

However, on Bilibili, UP hosts and live broadcasts can achieve a virtuous circle. Ye Ge thought about it carefully and still didn’t think so.

However, Ye Ge has established a new live broadcast company called Huwei Live, which is a platform dedicated to live broadcast.

In the previous life and the life before that, Bilibili was basically in a state of losses every year.

But this life is different, because Ye Ge entered the game early, became the first person to try it, and avoided some of the failed operations in his previous life.

The sales of peripheral products on Bilibili are booming.

In addition, more and more companies are now choosing Bilibili as a channel to promote their products.

Nowadays, Bilibili’s profits are very considerable.

After Bilibili went public, its stock price has been rising steadily.

As the share price of Bilibili continued to rise, Ye Ge's net worth also soared.

Ye Ge actually doesn't have much awareness of his own worth.

To put it in a very pretentious way, I no longer have any concept of money.

What is money?
I do not know.

I have never been interested in money.

Ye Ge is also very clear about Bilibili’s current goal.

Bilibili does not need much innovation at the moment, it just needs to maintain the status quo, but Ye Ge emphasized that Bilibili needs to set aside a portion of its revenue to invest in supporting domestic animation and comics, as well as domestic novels.

In fact, Ye Ge has always felt that China's online novels are not inferior to the light novels of the Japanese countries. Ye Ge even feels that they are ten years ahead of the light novels of the Japanese countries.

As long as it develops, it will be able to achieve a virtuous closed loop of novels - comics - animation - peripherals.

It is not difficult for online novels to be accepted by the public. As long as they are guided in the right direction, these novels that have been tested by the market are basically halfway to success.

For Mihuyou, Ye Ge's requirements were even simpler, which was to focus on making the game "Watch Dogs" well.

"Watch Dogs" will be launched this year, and the development of Yuanshen has also begun.

Although Yuanshen was criticized and ridiculed in his previous life, it must be said that Yuanshen created a lot of glory in the history of mobile games, and many games followed suit afterwards.

And no matter what, Yuanshen does make money.

So what Mihuyou needs to do is to stabilize the basic market and then develop new games.

Ye Ge has made strict requirements for the game planners of each game department. The decisions made by the game planners must be discussed repeatedly and must not be made on a whim. Otherwise, a bad game plan will lead to the anger of the players, and then the players will be full of anger towards the entire game.

By that time, there is a high probability that there will be irreparable losses.

Not only will players leave your game, they may even be disgusted with it!

Therefore, the planning of the game is extremely important.

The most important thing in a game is to listen to advice.

We must listen to the players' voices. This kind of listening to the players' voices does not mean filtering out the players' voices, only hearing the good ones and ignoring the sharp ones.

It is true that there will be some internet trolls who will attack the game in this or that way, saying this is not good or that is not good.

But when most players' voices are still normal, no game manufacturer will keep an eye on you every day.

So, when players think there is a problem with your game, you have to think carefully whether there really is any problem.

If you insist on going against the players, the final result will often not be very good.

After all, as a game, you have to understand that you are serving the majority of players, not going against them.

As of now, the planning of all Mihoyo's games is actually quite good. If any problems arise, an emergency meeting will be held immediately and the public relations department will deal with it as soon as possible.

Although it’s not that Mihoyo’s games do not have any negative reviews, all of these negative reviews are within a reasonable range.

There are even many game companies that come to learn Mihoyo’s public relations techniques.

As for ByteDance.

ByteDance’s work task this year is even simpler, which is to conduct internal testing of the Wenyin app this year.

If there are no problems, the Wenyin app will be put into public beta at the end of this year and then officially launched.

Adjustments will be made slowly after the public beta.

Although the public beta of the Wenyin app this year may not show a very impressive level at the beginning, it is actually not a big problem.

As long as the direction is right and we proceed step by step, and as long as there are no major mistakes in this world, the Wenyin app will definitely be able to develop.

According to Ye Ge's understanding, Wenyin will conduct internal testing within these three months.

Now the R&D and product departments of the entire company have entered the final sprint stage.

At the same time, advertising for the Wenyin app also began to be invested in Bilibili.

At the beginning, when most of the users of Bilibili saw this advertisement, they did not think that this software was very novel.

In the eyes of most people, this is just a video playback software, which is not much different from Bilibili in nature, except that this software does not have a web page, it is just an app.

In their opinion, Bilibili has already reached a very high level, and the possibility of this software surpassing Bilibili is very small.

Even most people don’t understand why Brother Ye wants to develop another video software when it is obvious that Bilibili is enough.

Many people thought about it and finally concluded that Ye Ge had too much money and had no place to spend it.

But every software and every game released by Ye Ge is so surprising.

All the projects done by Ye Ge have caused a great response on the Internet.

Not to mention that Ye Ge is already quite famous, and his every move will naturally attract a lot of attention from netizens.

Ye Ge has a kind of star effect. No matter how others view the software Wenyin, most people are looking forward to it and want to see what this software is like.

And when ByteDance was working overtime, Ye Ge also stayed in ByteDance and worked overtime with the company's employees.

These days, Ye Ge has been completely immersed in work, preparing for the final internal test.

Whether it was Su Mu, Su Yue, or Yuan Guoxue and the others, they all knew that Ye Ge was very busy recently, so they did not disturb Ye Ge.

Even Tang Zhiyan didn't ask Ye Ge for the fee.

But this does not mean that Tang Zhiyan completely let Ye Ge off, but that Tang Zhiyan remembered these times.

It will be counted as interest at that time.

After Ye Ge finishes his work, he needs to pay himself back double.

But you know what, because he was immersed in work during this period and did not go to study with Tang Zhiyan and the others, Ye Ge was full of energy every day.

Three months later, with the efforts of all ByteDance employees, the test version of the Wenyin app was produced.

This is not a rushed product, but a truly finished work that just needs some time to polish.
But no matter what, there is definitely no problem posting it on the Internet.

This time, the total number of test users of the Wenyin app reached 50.

If these users spend half an hour every day on Wenyin, they can get a one-month membership of Bilibili and some gift packs for Mihoyo's games.

Originally, this kind of test would require payment, but there is no other way. Funds have been tight recently, so we saved the money and used it as game props. This is not a bad idea.

If you use the Wenyin app to publish some records of your life, or create some works, you can get more memberships and game packages based on the number of works you create and the number of likes and reposts.

In fact, the conditions set by Ye Ge are very relaxed.

You can basically complete it in just 40 minutes a day.

Ye Ge can actually slightly increase the time and difficulty of these tasks, which is completely ok. It is estimated that users will not have any major objections as long as they want to get rewards.

But Ye Ge deliberately didn't do that.

Because it's completely unnecessary.

This is a video software. What is required is that users can immerse themselves in this software instead of binding it with some fixed figures.

If users feel that this software is useful, then at least they will use it more often. If they feel that it is not useful, it will be useless even if you use some rewards to force them to use it.

The so-called benefit is to enable people to know and use this software, while user stickiness depends entirely on the quality of this software.

Fortunately, according to the data from ByteDance's backend after the internal testing began, at the beginning, the internal testing users were still in the stage of completing tasks for this software. Basically, each person watched videos for about 30 minutes, and the number of works released was basically just to complete the task.

But gradually, after a month, it can be clearly felt that the time users spend on this software is increasing.

Ye Ge knew that this app was already halfway to success!
