Reborn: Billionaire in College

"What's going on on WeChat?" Chen Pingjiang asked at the meeting.

Li Xi said: "It's still the same. After all, they have only released it for a month. At present, they can only import QQ users. If they want to compete with us for the market, they have to wait for the voice intercom function to be launched. Otherwise, the technical gap between Weichat and WeChat cannot be broken, and users will not migrate to Weichat after getting used to WeChat. I guess they are working overtime to develop a new version, but by that time our video and voice call function will also be online."

In the past, there was a war between MiTalk and WeChat, and the two parties involved were Lei Jun and Pony Ma, Xiaomi and Tencent.

Although Xiaomi launched MiTalk first and had a first-mover advantage, this advantage is not obvious.

Even Lei Jun himself said that if Tencent did not respond within a year, MiTalk would have a 50% chance of success; if it responded within half a year, MiTalk would have basically no chance. But in the end, Tencent responded within a month, and Tencent Guanglin Institute quickly launched WeChat and received strong support from the Tencent Group.

WeChat gradually surpassed MiTalk by leveraging its high-concurrency backend technology accumulation with tens of millions of people online at the same time, its advantages in social relationship chains, and its huge advantages in comprehensive resources such as the company's size. As a small startup, Xiaomi could not support the investment in both mobile Internet instant messaging and smartphones, two markets worth hundreds of billions of dollars, so it gave up MiTalk and put all its energy into the smartphone field.

Even the 1.0 version of WeChat barely received any response after it was released. Because WeChat 1.0 was just a simple messaging function, and everyone couldn’t use up all the text messages on their monthly subscription. Why would they spend money on data to use WeChat?
When WeChat version 1.2 was released, with the addition of picture sharing, user response remained average.

The turning point came with MiTalk. MiTalk first took the lead in developing voice intercom, and after Tencent copied it, the daily number of users increased from 10,000 to 20,000 to 50,000 to 60,000.

The situation was truly turned around when the “People Nearby” feature was launched.

In the six months before this, the number of WeChat users did not exceed 100 million. Even within Tencent, a product that did not exceed 7 million users in half a year was almost insignificant. However, after July, the number of daily users of WeChat jumped to an astonishing 10, and this was achieved without using any QQ resources.

On the other hand, MiTalk was a startup company, and its weak basic capabilities were soon exposed. The surge in the number of users caused the server to crash five times a day.

Of course, another important reason for this is that there were fewer smartphone users at the time.

Times have changed.

Tencent’s rival is Renren, which at this time is many times more powerful than Xiaomi was back then.

It has a social team and two large data centers, and its products are launched earlier and have more complete functions...

Almost every one of them can give Tencent a fatal lead.

What's more, Tencent is not that powerful now after losing a lot of its luck.

Chen Pingjiang nodded: "In short, we still have to be careful. Tencent is preparing a big move, and the line is probably almost full."

The products are not yet mature and are not on the same starting line. Tencent will not invest a lot of resources to compete with them, as the cost-effectiveness is too low.

Advertising bombardment and promotion will only be effective when the products of both parties are of similar quality.

Tencent is waiting, and Renren is also waiting.

Everyone wants to be the first ticket to the Internet. It may take years to determine the winner, but even if it takes longer, it may not be as long as the group buying war.

"Yiming, you've been working here for a while. How do you feel?" After chatting with Li Xi on WeChat, Chen Pingjiang turned his attention to Zhang Yiming.

"Well, it's pretty good. My colleagues are all very kind, and Mr. Li takes good care of me." Zhang Yiming looked a little disheveled, with dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had been working overtime recently.

When he first joined the company, he came with great ambition and vowed to achieve some results. This was not only to repay Chen Pingjiang's kindness, but also to prove his ability to his superiors and to prove that Chen Pingjiang had no problem in hiring him.

"Recently, I reviewed Toutiao's current algorithms. My colleagues have done very well in the early stages. The content-based recommendation algorithm and the collaborative filtering-based recommendation algorithm are both OK, but the deep learning-based recommendation algorithm still needs to be significantly adjusted."

"At present, we are able to recommend news with tags and similar tags based on the news content that users have browsed, analyze the browsing history of similar users, and recommend news to the user based on the behavior of these similar users. However, we are still not good enough in analyzing the user's behavior data and history to predict their preferences."

When it comes to such professional knowledge, Chen Pingjiang was a little confused. Probably only Miao Bingwei could speak the same language with him among the people present.

"In other words, the recommendation results are not accurate enough?"

Zhang Yiming nodded and said, "Yes. Recommendation algorithms often cause some users to see a certain type of news repeatedly because of excessive demand in a certain direction, while making it difficult to recommend other news resources, which in turn causes information inequality."

“Is there a solution?”

“At present, we need to reduce the bias of the recommendation mechanism and make recommendations based on the different attributes of user portraits to make them more personalized.”

Chen Pingjiang understood these words.

To put it bluntly, it is still a problem of big data algorithm.

Zhang Yiming's goal is to allow users to browse not only the news of their interest but also other different types of news to achieve diversification.

In this area, to be honest, Taobao's big data recommendations are terrible.

Guess what you like is totally unpredictable.

Maybe the user just browsed a few stores that sell computers, and then all the recommended stores were those, and he could no longer see stores of other categories.

This is very annoying, as users need to search for stores in other categories separately and then correct the results in “Guess What You Like”.

In this regard, Tik Tok is much better and will promote similar videos, but not all of the same type.

"In short, keep going. You can ask for any needs you have. If you need technical support, you can find Miao Bingwei and Li Xi."

…………

When Chen Pingjiang received Ge Mengshi's call, he was in a meeting at the municipal government.

On the phone, Ge Mengshi said directly that she wanted to meet Chen Pingjiang.

By the time Chen Pingjiang arrived at the agreed location, two hours had passed.

"Brother Chen, you are here. Mr. Ge is in the private room on the fifth floor."

When he saw Chen Pingjiang, Dai Sheng immediately came forward to greet him.

At the same time, Chen Pingjiang was also particularly curious about why Ge Mengshi chose Tiangong Bar.

"Why did you meet here today? You're not at the company?"

After seeing Chen Pingjiang, Ge Mengshi smiled, and this smile made Chen Pingjiang feel a little different.

"Today's matter is quite important. There are so many people in the company and it's not convenient."

Chen Pingjiang vaguely realized something and asked curiously, "Then tell me about it."

For a moment, the expression on Ge Mengshi's face was very complicated, some happy, some nervous, some expectant, and some worried. She took out something from the Chanel bag she carried with her and secretly handed it to Chen Pingjiang.

Only after she had stuffed the medicine into Chen Pingjiang's palm did Ge Mengshi withdraw her hand.

As soon as Chen Pingjiang saw the thing in his hand, he was stunned.

Pregnancy tests!
Still two bars!
In an instant, Chen Pingjiang's head buzzed and he felt a little dizzy.

I'm going to be a father.

It's a bit sudden.

Aren’t those men on TV very happy to hear that their wives are pregnant?
But why do I feel just okay? I am happy, but not ecstatic.

More than that, it is an inexplicable sense of wonder.

It seemed as if he had seen the true meaning of life and the continuation of his bloodline. "Why, you are not happy at all?" This was also the reason why Ge Mengshi's expression was tinged with worry just now.

In any case, the two of them were not married in name only, and she was afraid that Chen Pingjiang didn't want the child.

After all, if this child is born, he will not be an ordinary child.

Instead, he was born directly in Rome.

There may be a huge family fortune involved behind this.

The Chen family really has a throne to inherit.

"How could that be? I am happy, but it just feels a little strange, I can't explain it. Do you want to go to the hospital to check HCG? Also, how do you feel recently?"

Ge Mengshi said: "I feel fine, but I can't eat much, I can't sleep well, and my temperature is a little high."

"You're not going to feel sick or vomit, are you?"

"That's not true."

"We went to the hospital for a checkup in the afternoon. If you are pregnant, you need to check HCG, progesterone and hormones. The initial data is very important. For example, HCG can not only reflect whether you are pregnant, but also whether it is an intrauterine or ectopic pregnancy, and whether there is any biochemical risk. This thing will double in 1-2 days, and keep doubling. If it doesn't double, there may be a problem."

Ge Mengshi lost her usual domineering and cold CEO demeanor. She was frightened by what Chen Pingjiang said, and then she realized something. She opened her eyes wide and asked Chen Pingjiang: "Why do you know so much? I, a woman, don't know you as well as you do."

"Uh!" Chen Pingjiang was speechless for a moment. He was so excited that he didn't know how to explain it. "Isn't this common sense?"

"?"

"Forget it, these are not important. Anyway, I will accompany you to the hospital for a check-up this afternoon."

Ge Mengshi thought about it, but still shook her head: "I can go by myself. Your current identity is too sensitive. It would not be good if someone saw you."

"No!" Chen Pingjiang refused sternly: "No room for negotiation. I will pay attention."

If you wrap it tightly and pay a large sum to seal it, there shouldn't be any problem.

Chen Pingjiang thought.

After the initial hesitation and anxiety, Ge Mengshi finally breathed a sigh of relief. A soft glow appeared on her face and she slowly stroked her belly.

“It feels amazing!”

"It's quite amazing." Chen Pingjiang suddenly smiled playfully: "My physical fitness is pretty good, right? I hit the target with one shot! Right in the center of the target! Of course, it's also because you are a fertile person."

Pregnancy is easy and difficult at the same time.

College students can easily get people killed, people occasionally get killed after work, but it is difficult to get killed after marriage.

Some women cannot get pregnant no matter what they do, while others can still get pregnant even after four or five abortions.

Just tell me whether it is amazing or not.

Ge Mengshi gave Chen Pingjiang a charming look.

"By the way, how are you going to explain this to your parents?" Chen Pingjiang suddenly remembered and asked.

After hearing this, Ge Mengshi was also stunned. She had never thought of this before.

"Let's keep it a secret for now. I'll tell you when I can't keep it a secret anymore. Besides, I plan to give birth abroad." After a long time, Ge Mengshi replied.

Chen Pingjiang was silent.

Of course he knew that Ge Mengshi did this for her own good.

Minimize your own troubles.

After all, the two still don't know what the attitude of Ge's father and mother is. If they are determined to make Chen Pingjiang take responsibility, and make a big fuss if he doesn't take responsibility, it will indeed be very troublesome.

In addition, giving birth abroad can also prevent colleagues in the company from finding out and avoid rumors spreading everywhere.

Chen Pingjiang was somewhat moved and took Ge Mengshi's hand.

"You can go abroad, but I must find time to visit your parents. Whether it's asking for forgiveness or confessing, I have to explain everything clearly. I can't leave it unclear. At the very least, you will be in a different mental state when you are abroad with your family by your side."

After he said this, Ge Mengshi was both happy and worried.

I am glad that I did not misjudge him. Chen Pingjiang did not avoid the problem and dared to face it. He is worthy of my trust.

What I worry about is that my parents at home are difficult to deal with.

"I can do it. I can just read a book or play the piano to get by." At this critical moment, Ge Mengshi's independence and stubbornness emerged again.

It was precisely because of this stubbornness that she resolutely left her former company and threw herself into the service of Chen Pingjiang that night.

Even if there may be no future for the two of them, even if it may just be my wishful thinking.

And now, she is taking a risk again.

Chen Pingjiang casually showed off his company's momentum: "This matter has been settled. Any objection will be invalid."

"Well... let's talk about it later. It will take a few months for the pregnancy to show. Before that, I still have to go to work as usual."

"The first three months of pregnancy are the most unstable, so why would you go to work?"

"I've been working for so many years, and so many of my female colleagues have given birth, including Xiaoqin. They all worked until the ninth month. How could they be so fragile? Besides, I can't stay in the company for much longer. Once I show my pregnancy, I can't go to work. Before that, I have to hand over the work I did during my absence from Dongjiang."

What they said made sense, and in the end Chen Pingjiang couldn't resist and had to agree: "Then you must be careful at work, don't overwork yourself, and stand up and shake your body if you sit for too long."

"I know!" Ge Mengshi found Chen Pingjiang's appearance a little funny. Chen Pingjiang was really different now. "Fussy."

Feeling happy both physically and mentally, Ge Mengshi supported her chin with both hands and stared straight at the profile of Chen Pingjiang who was replying to the message.

Suddenly, she moved in her heart, and she leaned over and gently bit Chen Pingjiang's earlobe. "I want... I want it."

This scared Chen Pingjiang who was sending a message.

"Sister, are you crazy? How dare you be so frivolous now? Do you know that this may cause uterine contractions?"

"Well, okay!" Ge Mengshi blinked pitifully like a child who had done something wrong and returned to her seat.

Realizing that his tone was a bit harsh just now, Chen Pingjiang took a breath and comforted him: "It's normal for you to have desires because of the changes in hormones in your body, but you must hold back."

"Well, so, why do you know so much?!"
