Chapter 1391 Lao Liang Wants to Play Instant Messaging? (430
0) It’s almost 12,000 today
"Brother Xia, I guess you can't imagine that this time it's Ximing City who complained to us." The expression on Liang Rubo's face was particularly funny.
He said: "To be specific, it should be the traffic intersection in Ximing City."
Xia Zekai frowned: "You mean a local agency complained about Yixing?"
"Yes, that's it." Liang Rubo said with certainty.
Xia Zekai asked: "What does he want to do?"
Hearing Brother Xia's question, Liang Rubo had a pained expression on his face: "Lao Yu went to Ximing City and got in touch with their people. The other party actually opened his mouth and wanted half of the online ride-hailing services in Ximing City.
Service fee share.”
"Isn't this nonsense, Brother Xia, can you imagine that a local government agency wants to negotiate a share of profit with our company?" Liang Rubo asked.
He continued: "Especially because this place is really not wealthy. Compared with other cities, there are far fewer people taking online ride-hailing services. All in all, the online ride-hailing service fees in Ximing City are really not that much."
"I don't know why those three people fell in love with each other?" Xia Zekai sighed.
"What are you going to do next?" Xia Zekai asked Liang Rubo.
Then I heard Liang Rubo say: "Brother Xia, I'm going to prepare salad, so ignore them."
He said: "This is a typical example of people who don't know how high the sky is and how high they are, and they really treat themselves as a piece of cake."
Xia Zekai nodded in approval. Liang Rubo was right to do this. This head must not be opened. Once it is opened, it will be difficult to block the back.
"Ru Bo, you did the right thing, just don't talk to them. If you are still vague, just send an official letter to the platform driver in Ximing City explaining the reasons for abandoning the market there. Ignore the rest. Who wants to love you?"
Just give it to someone." Xia Zekai said.
Liang Rubo said "Hmm", he thought so too. There are more than 40,000 cities in all parts of the country. With such a huge market base, it would be very difficult to give up the market of one or two thousand cities, let alone one or two.
Normal things.
As a company grows, it will inevitably face a screening of the audience market, and what remains is the company's "daily activity."
"Brother Xia, what do you think of 'good travel'?" Liang Rubo asked.
Xia Zekai was silent for a while and said, "Ru Bo, are you talking about its prospects?"
"Well!" Liang Rubo asked, staring at Xia Zekai.
Hearing his question, Xia Zekai thought for a while and then said: "To be honest, I think there is still some room for growth in 'Yixing' in the future, but it is not as big as before."
"It's basically impossible for you to expect it to double again," Xia Zekai said.
"It's difficult to grow by 50%!"
Regarding this point, Xia Zekai revealed this idea when chatting with Shen Nanpeng. At this moment, when chatting with Liang Rubo, he also did not shy away from this idea.
But having said that, Yitrip has now exceeded the market valuation of US$50 billion. If it can double its current value, the profit will be very objective.
Liang Rubo looked at Brother Xia with a serious expression, which even made Xia Zekai look gross. Is there a pockmark on my face?
After a while, Liang Rubo felt relieved and relaxed: "Brother Xia, actually my views are basically the same as yours."
"Do you have any ideas?" Xia Zekai asked him.
He somewhat understood that Liang Rubo was looking for him today not just because of the "good travel" thing, but because Liang Rubo had other things to do.
"Brother Xia, I majored in microelectronics at Nanjing University in college. After graduation, Yiming and I participated in the development and research of multiple projects. Recently, I have been thinking about one thing..."
Hearing what Liang Rubo said, Xia Zekai thought: "Are you going back to your old job?"
Before Liang Rubo finished speaking, he continued: "Brother Xia, I have studied for a long time and found that instant messaging still has greater traffic..."
"Instant messaging? What the hell?"
"Ahem!"
Xia Zekai coughed several times in succession. He was choked, and then said: "Do you want to do instant messaging? QQ and WeChat?"
"Brother Xia, you understand my thoughts best. I found that the only instant messaging that is popular in the domestic market is QQ and WeChat, but to a certain extent, they are the same."
"The reason why WeChat has been successful in a short period of time mainly comes from QQ's traffic guidance. It can be said that WeChat's popularity is due to the blood of QQ." Liang Rubo said eloquently.
Seeing that mouth talking nonstop, Xia Zekai suddenly wanted to find a roll of tape to wrap around him.
He asked: "Besides these two, do you think there are other instant messaging that have become popular?"
Liang Rubo thought about it seriously, and then said: "As far as China is concerned, there are actually two other people who are doing well, namely YY and Momo. However, those two were too marginal in the early stages. From the beginning, they were
They didn't do a good job in brand building and they went astray."
"Like that Momo, I don't deny that you can use sideways to divert traffic, but if you don't guide it after reaching a certain level, it will be troublesome!"
"Look, Momo is now called the Magic Artifact of Yuepao!" Liang Rubo started to complain.
But I have to say that this method of absorbing traffic is quite fast.
Especially the ‘people nearby’ function always gives people a particularly exciting feeling.
"Rubo, I think you should reconsider it. Domestically speaking, instant messaging is no longer interesting." Xia Zekai said bluntly.
I feel that if we don’t explain things clearly, Liang Rubo will sink deeper and deeper into this situation, and it will be bad at that point.
"..." Liang Rubo looked directly at Xia Zekai, as if he was asking something in his eyes.
Xia Zekai thought for a moment and said, "Rubo, do you think there is any other better way besides this instant messaging?"
But Liang Rubo shook his head directly and said, "Brother Xia, I haven't thought of any other way yet."
"What do you think of Yiming's headlines today?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Liang Rubo said without even thinking: "The social network communication he mainly does is also a very good traffic pool. As long as it is done well, the future prospects are also very promising."
"Have you read the short stories written above?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Liang Rubo nodded: "I read some, but I didn't have much time, so I didn't take a closer look."
He is quite honest.
When Xia Zekai heard what he said, he couldn't help but slapped his thigh: "You're right, I don't have time to read it, so do you think we have a better way to present the text content?
"
Xia Zekai spoke very clearly now.
When Liang Rubo heard Xia Zekai say this, a flash of lightning flashed across his mind. He seemed to have thought of something, but his thinking was not clear!
"Brother Xia, I can't figure out what you want to say." Liang Rubo frowned and thought, but he still couldn't figure it out.
"Rubo, you said that if you extract the content of a short story and make it into a short video, would it be easier for people to watch it?"
He said: "Many people may not have time to read books or read stories, but they must have time to watch videos or even listen to videos. Do you think I am right?"
"That's right!" Liang Rubo became even more excited. He stood up subconsciously: "Brother Xia, what you said is correct. Why didn't I think of this?"
"Yes, we can make a video APP that allows users to present their thoughts and ideas in the form of short videos. This method will be more acceptable than short stories!"
Liang Rubo was prompted by Xia Zekai, and his thoughts suddenly opened up.
Xia Zekai also didn't expect that Liang Rubo would think so deeply after he just mentioned the beginning.
At this moment, Xia Zekai suddenly understood that the title of 'Father of Douyin' was indeed well-earned.
Thinking of this, Xia Zekai asked him: "Rubo, are you interested in doing something?"
Liang Rubo said "hmm" twice and nodded heavily: "Brother Xia, I'm so interested. Your idea is absolutely brilliant."
"It's okay, that's all." Xia Zekai began to be modest.
How could he have the nerve to pretend to be a master of technology in front of Liang Rubo? The most he could do was bring up Liang Rubo's old ideas and sell them to the original owner.
"Brother Xia, are you interested in investing again?" Liang Rubo asked him directly.
Xia Zekai smiled and said, "How much do you think it will cost?"
"We each contribute 100 million, you contribute capital and ideas, I contribute capital, technology, management, each holding 50% of the shares. What do you think?" Liang Rubo said.
He said: "I am confident that I can make this product, but I can't think of its profit point other than monetizing traffic?"
After hearing what Liang Rubo said, Xia Zekai thought for a while and then said: "Rubo, don't be in a hurry, just do it step by step."
"Okay, Brother Xia, you can decide whether to do it or not!" Liang Rubo began to urge him.
Xia Zekai stretched out his hand and shook his hand: "Do it!"
"Okay, with Brother Xia's words, I feel relieved, and let's get started!" Liang Rubo said.
Xia Zekai hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where is the best place to travel?"
"I will take care of it now. Later, when the current issue of Yixing is resolved and the "Approval Procedures for Online Ride-hailing Operations" initiated by Yixing is approved, I am ready to hand this over to Lao Yu."
Liang Rubo seemed to have everything under control.
Hearing what he said, Xia Zekai did not refute him.
Yu Shuping also started following Yi Xingxing from the beginning. Although he is a bit older now, Lao Yu is still very knowledgeable about Internet operations.
As long as he's here and they're looking after me, there won't be any big problems.
Besides, Yitrip is now a very mature company, and the new successor only needs to move forward along the planned path.
"You go and register a company, and I'll transfer the money to the public account." Xia Zekai still understood these rules very well.
Liang Rubo said "Hmm" and said, "Brother Xia, how did you come up with this golden idea?"
"Actually, I've been thinking about it for a long time. I wanted to tell you before, but I never had the right opportunity," Xia Zekai said.
Hearing what Xia Zekai said, Liang Rubo was moved and didn't know what to say anymore.
"Brother Xia, please tell me your idea again so that I can make this product more comprehensive." Liang Rubo said.
He took out paper and pen.
At this moment, he simply forgot about the "good time to travel" thing.
It also shows that he really doesn’t take Ximing City to heart, or even the market in Ximing City.
At this point, Xia Zekai no longer held back and slowly recalled the memory of his first contact with Douyin.
He explained clearly what functions it has and what functions it can achieve.
So much so that Liang Rubo had to wonder whether Brother Xia had made such a product before.
"Brother Xia, do you know what I am thinking now?" Liang Rubo suddenly asked.
Xia Zekai was confused, looked at Liang Rubo with some caution, and asked him: "Rubo, what do you want to do?"
"I want to split Brother Xia's head open and see what's inside your head. You gave me the idea of 'traveling', and it turns out that it's not only feasible, but also made us a lot of money."
"When Yiming made today's headlines, I know you also gave him a lot of ideas."
"But I didn't expect that you know so much about video apps."
When Liang Rubo thought that Brother Xia knew so many things, he couldn't help but sigh, this is really not a person!
It is simply a god-like existence!
It gives the impression that he is too omniscient and omnipotent.
"Get out of here, I'll chop you up first." Xia Zekai laughed and said.
He was not afraid of what Liang Rubo just said.
Some things come out naturally, just like the video application APP they will collaborate on next.
"Brother Xia, give it a name!" Liang Rubo said.
Xia Zekai thought for a while and said, "I really haven't thought of it. Do you have any good suggestions?"
"How about calling it 'Lippai'?" Liang Rubo's naming skills are evident, and he is almost on par with Xia Zekai.
Xia Zekai really didn't know what to say, so he muttered: "Otherwise, let's call it Douyin, what do you think?"
"Douyin? It feels weird!" Liang Rubo said.
Xia Zekai really wanted to kick him up and tell him, it's your fault, this is the product you made in your previous life.
But he really didn’t know that Liang Rubo had never studied volcano videos or watermelon videos in his life. Without these foundations, could he develop the product structure of Douyin?
"Brother Xia, I'm so happy today. How about we have a drink to celebrate?" Liang Rubo asked.
He is very excited now. He has a hunch that the 'Douyin' that Brother Xia just mentioned must be very good.
As for whether it can soar into the sky like "Yi Travel", Liang Rubo can't say.
But the good thing is that he and Brother Xia are both rich now, and he will soon cash out part of his shares in "Yixing". By then, he will have a lot of money.
Xia Zekai's side has always had sufficient funds. He believes that with such strong funds as the backing, they will be able to overcome most difficulties without any problems.
"Let's go find a place to have a drink." Xia Zekai said.
While drinking, Xia Zekai mentioned one thing. He said: "The current traffic of Toutiao and Yixing are still very good. If you wait for Douyin to be launched and want to speed up the progress, you can actually consider starting from Toutiao and Yixing."
Find ways to divert traffic when traveling.”
Hearing what Xia Zekai said, Liang Rubo said "hmm" and said, "Brother Xia, let me think about it. There must be a way."
