The room full of young people looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't look at Wen Liang and didn't say anything.
This sudden silence made Wen Liang want to laugh a little.
If this were left to future generations, I would probably post several short videos saying, ‘Three sentences will make 7 men fall in love with me’, which is not much more advanced than ‘Spend 180,000’…
If everyone can be kindly organized to start a business, it means that they will make rational choices in official matters.
So it is not difficult to convince Li Ze and the others.
Moreover, Wen Liang didn't think that Li Ze or anyone else was at fault, and he wouldn't want to press Li Ze's head to make him admit his mistake. Naturally, he wouldn't let An Qing continue to be embarrassed.
After only a moment, Wen Liang spoke calmly: "When we designed the core framework of the website, we referred to some popular technologies. Even the basic structure is modular in design, so it is very easy to modify."
"Now we just need to find a suitable entry point in the subdivision and make slight modifications to get it back online."
Seeing everyone coming back to their senses and nodding in agreement, Wen Liang looked a lot more serious: "First of all, we must admit that our business was stimulated by the news of Zhihu's multiple successful financings, and we thought that websites like Zhihu could easily be copied and succeeded.
And the blue is better than the blue.”
Seeing Chen Jiaxin, Li Ze and others opened their mouths to interrupt. Wen Liang shook his right index finger to stop everyone: "I'm not saying that you can't imitate. Since you choose to start a business and start a company, you just want to enter this vanity fair and make money. We are not superior to anyone else.
"
“Zhihu’s creativity is also inspired by websites such as Baidu Zhihu.”
"But we do have misconceptions."
At this point, Wen Liang looked at Chen Jiaxin and asked a question in a guiding manner: "Xiao Chen, what do you think is the fundamental reason why Zhihu is not open to public registration now, but is favored by capital?"
Being called on by Wen Liang, Chen Jiaxin's face became nervous for a moment, much like the panic she felt when she deserted class and was called up by the teacher to answer a question.
"Uh..." Chen Jiaxin swallowed her saliva and replied as she thought, "It should be attractive enough and have some gimmicks; for example, I have always wanted to get an invitation code to become a registered user, and I hang out in various post bars and forums every day.
.”
Then he quickly added: "The main reason is the feeling of still holding the pipa and half covering your face. I think it is very attractive to netizens."
Wen Liang was noncommittal and looked at the others: "Everyone, please share your thoughts."
Chen Jiaxin was not angry. He had a strong point. He himself was not satisfied with the hasty answer. It was normal for Wen Liang not to comment.
"I also think it's the attraction. We did the same thing, but it's useless."
"We also have gimmicks."
"It's really useless."
"As Lao Wen said, our website doesn't even have any response, and that's definitely not the reason."
"..."
Li Ze, on the other hand, was not in a hurry to pick up the fight. He knew best that just venting, having conflicts, and taking a stand would not solve the problem.
Finding the root cause is the key point.
He was also very satisfied with Wen Liang's current changes. The previous 'disputes' and 'conflicts' had disappeared invisibly.
After everyone had finished speaking, Li Ze just sorted out his thoughts, and his thick eyebrows were rarely completely smooth: "It must have attractions and gimmicks. I think these are the most basic elements of any Internet product."
"It's okay to hold on to the pipa and half-cover your face, but it is impossible that these basic elements alone can attract capital institutions to invest so much in Zhihu, first millions and then tens of millions of dollars, and the total investment is almost over 100 million yuan.
…”
Having said this, Li Ze looked at Wen Liang: "However, I think Lao Wen, you just want us to think carefully about the reasons for the failure of the rush launch. You don't think Zhihu's success can still be imitated. If it can be imitated, the market will not be as popular as it is now."
There are no similar products popping up.”
Wen Liang nodded gently: "Aze is right. After Zhihu received the first round of angel financing, it cannot be copied."
"At that time, Zhihu already had its unique commercial value: satisfying the ordinary people's desire to spy on the big guys."
"The first batch of Zhihu users basically include prominent figures in various industries, especially those in the Internet industry, such as Xiao Ma from Goose Factory, some big guys in the investment circle, etc..."
At this point, Wen Liang paused briefly and asked another question: "Think about it, you are all looking for answers online. What kind of person do you want to see answer?"
"professional!"
"Industry boss!"
Chen Jiaxin and Li Ze blurted out almost at the same time.
Seeing this, Wen Liang spread his hands and laughed: "Zhihu's core user portraits are industry bosses and elites. They can represent authority to a large extent; not only that, their status also satisfies the expectations of countless ordinary people for high-level people.
The elite’s desire to spy at close range.”
"Since ancient times, the general public has had a stronger desire to pry into the world of big men."
As soon as Wen Liang finished speaking, Li Ze immediately continued: "In this case, we can develop in this direction. We also find ways to invite a group of high-end users. Why do we directly decide that it cannot be copied?"
"Let me ask you an answer." Wen Liang did not deny it directly, but followed the guidance, "Do we have the resources in this area?"
Li Ze paused.
Wen Liang asked again: "Is our primary purpose of starting a business to make money, or is it to have the opportunity to lick capital and let capital take a second look and invest?"
This time Li Ze answered very firmly: "Make money!"
He doesn't have any aloof mentality of being superior to others. He just makes money and is not shabby.
"Second question." Wen Liang obviously didn't think the first one was a question, and raised two fingers of his right hand again, "Who makes the most money in the world?"
As soon as this question came up, everyone looked at each other a little bit.
The answers are also varied.
"Rich man."
"Poor people."
"Be a student."
"I think they are people who have money and leisure."
"..."
Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Wen Liang shook his head directly: "That's not the distinction. The rankings of spending power are: 'Women>Children>Elderly>Dogs>Men';
In other words, either find a way to earn money from a woman or find a way to earn money from a child. Even if that doesn’t work out, it’s better to find a way to earn money from a dog than from a man.”
After a pause, Wen Liang stood up and said lightly, "I'll leave the rest to you."
"ah?"
"this?"
"Isn't it?"
"!"
"..."
Chen Jiaxin, Lao Yin and others quickly stood up and started shouting.
Li Ze didn't move in a hurry.
He understood again.
After thinking about it in his mind, Li Ze also stood up and said calmly: "Now we should call Mr. Wen. Mr. Wen has made it very clear what he wants to do. We can't let Mr. Wen do it himself.
.”
At this point, Li Zenong's eyebrows widened and he said with a smile: "For a successful company, the boss only needs to make decisions, not execution."
Then Li Ze glanced at everyone: "The subdivision of the website is in the wrong direction, but the impact is not big. Now the boat is small and it is easy to turn around."
"We collect information through the Internet and use a simple big data model to analyze what kind of community structure women like best, and then modify some modules of the existing website in a targeted manner."
Everyone blinked, a little suspicious, puzzled, and puzzled, with almost the same question mark face.
Wen Liang on the side smiled happily. He was indeed the ‘internal villain’ with thick eyebrows. Once persuaded, he was very good at...
