Chapter 15 A Small Goal
A month later, Infinity Vision's first software product, "Feiyin Short Video", officially landed in the Android application market, and the Apple application market is not open yet.
"The company has limited funds and needs to save money. Advertising fees can only be used for one million." Luo Xiaoguang arranged in the conference room of Infinite World Company.
Most of the one million US dollars invested by Mr. Zhao is used to spend most of the company's daily expenses, including renting office space, employee salary, office equipment, rental servers, telecom bandwidth costs, etc.
Fortunately, Mr. Zhao has mature technology that can be used directly. The development cost of Feiyin short video is less than one-tenth of what he expected, so he squeezed out some funds for advertising.
The advertising fee of one million Chinese currency cannot be lost at one time. They can only buy a few small advertising spaces in the app store and other places.
Compared with the overwhelming publicity of other Internet companies, it is simply not worth mentioning.
Du Mingkang is also very concerned about the launch of "Feiyin", because this is the first product he developed using Galaxy High-dimensional Technology Laboratory. It is also the first application of computer black technology he mastered.
"I hope it will be popular... so that I can start my next plan." Du Mingkang planned in his mind.
If he wants to promote more black technology and revive himself, he must have a large amount of funds! It is best to buy a private territory overseas and build a black technology research base!
Du Mingkang has checked on the Internet these days and there are several small islands to choose from, but the prices are all over hundreds of millions of dollars. This is just the land cost, the construction of the island, the servants, and various equipment and materials needed for black technology research...
Let’s put it this way, construction cannot be started without a billion dollars! And the cost of construction is not limited! Yes, if the scientific and technological information left over from the Galaxy civilization is to be realized, even if all mankind works together, it will be a big gap of 100,000 miles!
"Set a small goal and make it one billion dollars first!"
...
Feiyin short videos are online, but there are very few users. At the beginning, they were employees of Infinite Vision and friends who were recommended by them.
"On the first day, there were 146 daily active users, and 16 of them were our own accounts..."
In the company, Luo Xiaoguang is paying attention to the backend data every day, and this dismal data makes him very embarrassed. If this continues, how should he deal with Mr. Zhao?
At twelve o'clock on the weekend, the new week is about to begin. A new round of advertising recommendations has also been updated in the app store.
...
Somewhere in China, office worker girl Shi Yao was lying on the bed tossing and turning. She was very tired during the day, but she was lying on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She had to get up early to go to work in the morning...
After a while of confusion, she decided to browse her phone. She first used to browse WeChat Moments and Weibo hot topics, but today there was nothing new that interested her. It was very interesting to push a few short videos on Weibo.
"I heard that short video apps are very popular now, so I won't play with them." Shi Yao had a sudden idea. She opened the app store and searched for the short video app, and several popped up immediately.
"Feiyin short video, record a beautiful life." Shi Yao casually clicked on the ad recommendation and started downloading.
"Installation is completed." The pattern of a note appears on the interface of the app, which is very concise and has only one sentence for introduction: Feiyin short video, recording a beautiful life.
She completed the user registration and filled in with interests in one minute. After that, the app pushed her the first short video.
"Hello everyone, I am Zhao Yuan, an outdoor sports enthusiast. This is the American Olympic National Park, let you see the scenery here." The first short video that pops up was the video content shot by Zhao Yuan.
This was really not made by Du Mingkang himself, but by Zhao Yuan's life. He also had many similar videos. Du Mingkang posted this video with a fun attitude.
In the picture, a young man stood by the cliff, and the camera looked down and was at the deep valley bottom. From a distance, there were undulating mountains, blue sky, white clouds, green waters and green mountains, and beautiful scenery.
Shi Yao couldn't help but become nervous, as if she was standing on the edge of the dangerous cliff, enjoying such infinite scenery.
The short video for more than ten seconds made her feel a little relaxed and happy. As an office worker who is suffering from daily life, how long has it been since she seen such a natural scenery?
"I really want to have the opportunity to go for a walk!" She sighed, and liked the short video and left a message: "It's so beautiful! Be careful of such a high place!"
The software prompted her that she could switch to the next short video just by swiping down.
She moved her finger and it was a food video. In the video, a girl was demonstrating how to make a cake. It was simple and easy to understand. Soon, the delicious and beautiful cake appeared in the video.
"What a beautiful little cake, I really want to eat it!" Shi Yao liked it again and then refreshed the video.
Natural scenery, exotic style, handsome little brother, film and television editing, cute pets, life insights, daily life... Before she knew it, she had been watching for three hours, and she had no intention of stopping at all.
"It's not good, it's already three o'clock in the morning! It's over, I have to go to work tomorrow!" She woke up only when the software reminded her to pay attention to protecting her eyesight.
"This Feiyin short video is so interesting, I can't stop at all..." Shi Yao reluctantly put down her phone, "Forget it, I'll try it again tomorrow!"
Although she thought so, her mind was full of the information she had just read. If it weren't for reason that she had to sleep, she would have picked up her phone and continued to read.
"I spent three hours watching and gave me more than 30 likes in the video. It seems that the algorithm is doing well." In the data world, Du Mingkang naturally said to himself.
Ordinary people need to sleep, but they are now a data life and do not need to sleep at all, so they are online twenty-four hours a day.
Just now, the reason why Shi Yao couldn't stop watching videos was because of the intelligent algorithm designed by Du Mingkang. First, she recommended the short videos she was interested in based on the information she filled in, and then judged her preferences based on various data and continued to recommend them. At the same time, fresh topics were interspersed in these contents so that she would not be aesthetically tired soon, so she unknowingly forgot time.
As for these short video content, most of them are "movement" and "edited". There are no hundreds of users in the entire Feiyin short video, so it is naturally impossible to have so many short videos.
What should I do if the content is done? Luo Xiaoguang's team thought of a bad trick, and went to other places to move, especially foreign video websites. This method cannot be put on the table, but in order to survive, they can only do this secretly and delete the software later. This is a tacit unspoken rule in the industry.
The next day, when Shi Yao went to work, she kept yawning after the morning meeting.
"What's wrong? Didn't sleep well?" asked the female colleague.
"I downloaded a short video software last night, which was so interesting. I accidentally shot until the early morning..." Shi Yao said.
"What software?" asked the female colleague.
"Feiyin short video."
"I haven't heard of it."
"It's very fun!" When Shi Yao mentioned this, she was excited and said, "Really, I strongly recommend this software to you. I guarantee that you still want to brush it!"
"Is that so? Let's take a look later." The female colleague said casually.
During the break, with Shi Yao's strong recommendation, the female colleague downloaded the software. Soon, she also started to use it.
"This little dog is so cute! Oh my God, my heart is about to melt!"
"Tsk tsk, this abdominal muscle, pay attention to one first!"
"Haha, how could there be such a funny guy? I'm so funny!"
The two of them were watching the video and were having a lot of fun. Soon, someone next to them was curious, "What are you watching? So happy?"
"Feiyin short video, really, it's super fun, I suggest you next one too!"
"Is that so? Where is it? Is there a link?"
"I'll send you."
Ten minutes later, in the lounge, all employees were holding their mobile phones to browse the short video of Feiyin.
"No, it's so interesting! You can play around when you're bored in the future!"
"Yes, I feel that this short video app is better than the others."
"Oh, working hours are up. Let's do it after get off work!" There are still people who are still unsatisfied.
Chapter completed!
