Rebirth Starts at 7 Million

"Mr. Luo is so generous in telling me how to improve the technology, so I'm not afraid of being copied by other manufacturers?" Mr. Wang asked with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if you are afraid or not, this method will be discovered sooner or later!" Luo Fan explained.

Daily Toutiao put it bluntly that the technology used and the route taken are the same as today’s Toutiao.

In a sense, Toutiao was born ahead of schedule, which will definitely have a great impact on many people.

But whether these people can keenly find the differences in the daily headlines and make use of them depends on their own vision.

President Wang of Meituan is obviously such a capable person. Others will only be curious when they find the abnormality of Daily Toutiao.

But he has already started the research. Even if Luo Fan doesn't say anything, I believe that after a long time, Meituan will be able to study the results.

Instead of hiding and tucking away, it is better to be generous and friendly. After all, as President Wang of Meituan said, Xingyuan has shares in Meituan, and the rise of Meituan is also good for Xingyuan.

And some of Xingyuan's follow-up development also needs the help of Meituan, such as movie theater ticket purchase, helping Meituan to win the group buying market, and also helping Xingyuan itself.

Mr. Wang is definitely a genius when it comes to the group-buying model. Although the founder of the group-buying model is Groupon in the United States, it is Mr. Wang who has the deepest research on the group-buying model.

Luo Fan generously pointed out the direction for President Wang. President Wang wanted to reciprocate and said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, I heard that Daily Toutiao encountered a little trouble recently? I know a few powerful lawyers who can introduce them to you."

"No, it's just some copyright issues, which we have resolved privately." Luo Fan said.

"Mr. Luo, the copyright issue should not be taken lightly! Especially if you are a portal and news website.

Portals have been using other people's content since they appeared. A lot of this happened ten years ago. Maybe you don't know how old you are. At that time, a lot of local news sued portals like Sina and Netease.

Although it is generally useless to sue, because the scale of the portal site is getting bigger and bigger, and it is delayed until the end, as long as you pay a sum of money, the problem will be solved.

But this is not a small blow to the website's reputation and image, and it may shake the fundamentals. "Mr. Wang reminded.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang! In fact, our boss already has a solution.

Even if there is no such thing, he intends to find a chance to solve the copyright issue. " said Cao Shuai on the side.

"Oh? Is that so? Mr. Luo, can I take the liberty to ask how you want to solve this problem?"

"What a pretentious thing to say, this is not impossible to say! I plan to follow the example of Sina and foreign normalized YouTube, create a personal account, and let content creators share dividends through the browser.

As Mr. Wang said, it is true that you can win by dragging on copyright, but in fact, this model is the most unsuccessful. In business, cooperation is a win-win situation.

The portal website ten years ago wanted to eat alone and was unwilling to share its content, but in the end it actually killed itself, because piracy infringed on the profit space of content creators.

No one wants to create new content, and it's no wonder that the content industry doesn't die.

I think for Daily Toutiao to be successful, our unique algorithm technology, reasonable advertising, and content creators are indispensable to constantly producing interesting things.

We give dividends to these content creators who provide excellent content, and then share the profit share. This is the healthiest way to operate. "

After listening to Luo Fan's words, Mr. Wang felt very surprised. The success of this young man was definitely not accidental. He was too calm, and he would not give up the company's long-term plans for temporary interests.

The special algorithm he just said is to serve users, reasonable advertising is to increase its own profits, and the final dividend to content creators is to enhance the vitality of the platform. The three are combined into one, which has created the popularity of Daily Toutiao.

Thinking of this, Mr. Wang said with some envy: "If Mr. Luo can really solve this problem, the future of Daily Toutiao is bound to be unlimited. I wonder when Daily Toutiao will open the accounts of content creators?"

"It should be this month." Luo Fan replied.

President Wang said with a smile: "Okay, then I have to prepare in advance, and then I will help President Luo to help out."

"That's a good feeling! I warmly welcome Mr. Wang to come here."

......

Luo Fan and President Wang were chatting happily, and at the same time, at the Penguin headquarters in Shencheng, Penguin's executives were looking at a report.

This report is about Xingchao. As of October 17, 2011, the number of registered users of Xingchao has exceeded 200 million, and the number of daily active users has reached 100 million.

The scale of this data in the social field is already the second largest social tool besides QQ.

At present, QQ has almost monopolized the PC and mobile terminals, with more than 900 million registered users nationwide and more than 400 million daily active users.

But Xingchao's competitor is not QQ, because netizens can also have two social software on their mobile phones.

Moreover, at present, Xingchao focuses on business and social networking, and mainly focuses on the white-collar market. This part of the market has always been blank on the Penguin side, which can be regarded as avoiding the edge of the Penguin.

Originally, Penguin thought that Xingchao had voluntarily made concessions. They only need to go all out to launch wx, and they will soon be able to seize the market again.

However, something unexpected happened to Penguin. The executives of Penguin found that whether it was the internal drainage of the group or various other advertisements, these had little effect on the users of Star Chat.

In addition to opening every day to and from get off work, as long as it is working hours, most white-collar workers will still choose to use Star Chat. On the contrary, wx has become a chat tool in leisure time like QQ.

With QQ's drainage, the daily download volume of wx is indeed more than that of Xingchao, but the daily user activity is far less than that. This fake download volume is meaningless at all.

This situation shows that Xingchao has gained a firm foothold in the social field of strangers.

This conclusion shocked the inside of the penguin. The foundation of the penguin is to socialize with acquaintances, while the competitors do the opposite and control the social field of strangers. Although the scale and stickiness of the latter is not comparable to the former, it is like a thorn. Penguin's core site.

What worries Penguin even more is that Star Chat is really developing business social networking honestly, but will they start to shift from business social networking to normal social networking in the future?

With Xingchao's current basic plan, it is not impossible to further develop. Once they start to expand, the living space of wx will be compressed immediately, or even completely driven out of the market.

Thinking of this, the top executives of Penguin all felt a huge pressure. They must not let Xingchao continue to expand like this. How can others be snored on the side of the couch?
