During this period, the most discussed thing on the Internet was the news about how anti-human the rules of "Today's Toutiao Express Edition" are.
It is also for this reason that after it hit the news, it attracted more people to download the "Today's Toutiao Express Edition" APP. If nothing else, there were not many opportunities to profit from the platform.
Even if you can't get together the cards to exchange for mobile phones at the moment, you can exchange gold coins for RMB at the head office.
No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.
There are still people thinking in their hearts, even if I can’t save up a card to exchange for a mobile phone for a while, as long as this platform is around, will I still be afraid of spending time?
As long as the company "Today's Toutiao" doesn't collapse, I can always get a mobile phone, right?
There are quite a few people with this mindset, and just like that, more and more people are downloading this product.
An astonishing amount of energy exploded in a very short period of time.
When the technical department reported the cumulative number of user downloads and the length of time users used the product to Zhang Yiming, he took a look at the data and was confused.
This result really exceeded his expectations, and was even something he had never thought of.
Cumulative downloads exceeded 100 million in three days, the average user time spent was more than 3 hours, and more than 20% of users spent more than 10 hours...
Apart from swiping cards and gold coins, you don’t do anything else, right?
Or are you just fishing for money at work?
Zhang Yiming even wants to scold his mother, so he will risk his life for the mobile phone and gold coins!
"If you continue to observe the data, if you have any questions, report them to me in time." Zhang Yiming said to the head of the technical department.
After the other party went out, Zhang Yiming took out his phone and prepared to call Brother Xia.
The effect of Brother Xia's idea was beyond his expectation, it was simply amazing.
After the call was connected, Zhang Yiming was still thinking about what to say later. As he was thinking about it, he heard a familiar voice: "Yiming, what's the matter?"
"Brother Xia, have you seen the news? Our fast version of Toutiao is very popular!" Zhang Yiming was so excited.
This is far more exciting than when I started making Toutiao.
The main thing is that it only took a few days from the release of "Today's Toutiao Express Edition" to its popularity, and its final explosive data can make people secrete adrenaline hormones beyond the standard.
"I saw it. It's the hottest news on the entire Internet. Yiming, you did a great job!" Xia Zekai said with a smile.
"No, no, no, Brother Xia, this is still awesome. If you hadn't given me these two ideas, there would be no such thing as 'Today's Toutiao Express Edition'." Zhang Yiming said this way.
He felt more and more that Brother Xia was hard to see through, and there always seemed to be something hazy covering him.
Every time there was a problem that couldn't be solved, Brother Xia would always come up with an idea, and it was very effective. It was really incredible.
Xia Zekai didn't know that Zhang Yiming thought so much. He said with a smile: "Yiming, keep working hard, use this advantage to quickly make headlines."
"By the way, don't make the difficulty so high at the beginning. You can release more mobile phones appropriately so that users can taste the benefits and have hope so that they can continue to use our products."
Listening to Xia Zekai's instructions, Zhang Yiming responded repeatedly and said: "Brother Xia, don't worry, I know what to do."
Compared with the two golden ideas of "saving cards to exchange for mobile phones" and "swiping gold coins to exchange for RMB", the rest of the operation is not a problem. Zhang Yiming knows very well how to play it.
He said: "Brother Xia, when you are free, let's have a drink to celebrate."
"I've been fine in the past few days, but I'll be busy after a while," Xia Zekai said.
It's not long until the Spring Festival.
Xia Zekai will go back to Qicheng in two days to hold the company's annual meeting.
I have to attend the year-end meetings of several companies.
After that, he still had to go to the Economic and Trade Commission to receive the award...
If you think about it this way, there are quite a lot of things.
"Okay, what does Brother Xia want to eat? I'll book a place." Zhang Yiming stopped talking and asked him.
Xia Zekai no longer has any interest in eating. He thinks simple food is fine.
After telling Zhang Yiming, Zhang Yiming said "hmm", indicating that he was aware of it.
When the "Today's Toutiao Express Edition" was released quickly, Liang Rubo from Yitrip also saw the energy in it.
The heat that continued in the following days was beyond his imagination.
Especially when he received the "Letter to Shareholders" from Toutiao, looking at the data introducing "Today's Toutiao Express Edition", he always felt that the growth of this data was a bit exaggerated.
But then he thought that the short video on Douyin would be released soon, and he became excited again.
Douyin has this set of programs built into it since it was launched. After it was released, did it become popular or did it disappear?
Liang Rubo was thinking about this problem in his heart, but actually he didn't know what to do.
Starting from Kuxun, then to Fanfou.com, then to Jiujiufang, and now to Yixing. Every time he makes a new product, Liang Rubo has always been walking on thin ice.
And the final facts also proved this, Kuxun and Fanfou.com were ruined.
Jiujiufang was worse off than dead, which made Wang Qiong miserable.
So far, I can only go out and live a comfortable life.
What about Douyin short videos?
Liang Rubo fell into deep thought.
If other companies reach the scale of Yixing, when they release new products, they actually don’t pay much attention to traffic issues and can just use their own products to attract traffic.
However, Douyin and Yichuxing are not of the same nature at all, and Douyin is a new company jointly cooperated by Liang Rubo and Xia Zekai. It does not involve other shareholders of Yichuang, nor is it mixed with interests. If it uses Yichuxing’s traffic,
It's unreasonable and unethical, and it would be unethical to do so.
"Get ready to promote it!" Liang Rubo also made a decision in his heart.
Taking advantage of the popularity of "Jiuri Toutiao Express Edition", let Douyin also take advantage of it.
This seems to be a bit unethical for Toutiao, but to be honest, there are not so many scruples in doing business!
While people were still immersed in the popularity of swiping the "Today's Toutiao Express Edition" to collect cards and redeem them for mobile phones, or saving enough gold coins to redeem RMB, another product was promoted on the market.
The same promotional routine as Toutiao Express Edition.
The only difference is that on Douyin, you can collect all the cards by watching videos, or save gold coins and exchange them for RMB.
You can also upload videos and receive random cards or gold coins as rewards.
It seems that this gameplay is fresher and more exciting for everyone to want to play it.
However, some people have questioned this.
Why are two new products launching similar functions within less than a week? Is this an infringement?
Another point, is it legal for two platforms to do this?
By collecting cards or saving enough gold coins to exchange for mobile phones and RMB, does this behavior induce netizens to come to the platform?
Also, how true is it?
Some netizens broke the news on the Internet, saying that they spent more than 18 hours reading news, reading novels, watching movies, etc. for three consecutive days, but were unable to collect a complete set of cards. Even gold coins were only saved a dozen yuan.
Moreover, this netizen also revealed a piece of information. In the beginning, it was easy to swipe cards or gold coins, but in the later stages, the speed became slower and slower, including the speed of giving gold coins, which was so slow that people wanted to scold it.
.
By posting this, he may want to warn the remaining people who have not entered the market to be more sensible.
But he didn't know that many people saw in his post that he had spent more than ten yuan in three days, which actually stimulated those who had not downloaded the product, and those who had already downloaded the product, but had no time to play.
There are relatively few people, so they all have more time to browse the "Today's Toutiao Express Edition".
A dozen yuan, on average, is at least four yuan a day, or 120 yuan a month. Isn’t it good to earn some pocket money by reading news, and recharge your mobile phone bill at the end of the month?
If that doesn't work, just pay for a pack of cigarettes.
How many of them can understand how miserable most married men are?
If nothing else, I have no money in my pocket!
Now there happens to be such a channel. You can kill time and make money at the same time. It’s perfect!
Playing online is not just for fun, it is just to pass the time.
As for exchanging mobile phones, that's up to chance.
They don't think too much. In the end, they get it if they can get it. If they really can't get it, that's it.
The vast majority of people value the immediate ‘interests’ more.
If you can really get a mobile phone together, it will be an unexpected surprise, just like winning a lottery ticket.
Another wave of mothers with children and old men and women who are idle at home have also joined in. Everyone is gathering wool to "make money", isn't it nice?
After seeing the news released by Douyin, more people realized that there is more than one platform to make money.
They had already enjoyed the fun of ‘cash withdrawal’ from the express version of Toutiao, so they downloaded Douyin directly without thinking too much.
The only thing that makes them curious is that this new product is not owned by Toutiao, and it does not allow the accounts of Toutiao to be interoperable.
As for the same routine played by Douyin and Toutiao Express Edition, for the general public, their focus is not here at all.
Not to mention that Douyin has adjusted this acquisition rule, even if it is exactly the same, for a large number of netizens, I just want to pick out the wool, and everything else is the company's business and has nothing to do with me!
However, as the parties involved, Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo both knew who the other party was, and they did not say anything.
Fundamentally speaking, the owner of this 'idea' should be Xia Zekai, and both of them only have the right to use it.
Are you talking to Xia Zekai about copyright?
Even if Xia Zekai didn't apply for patent protection, no one would dare to stroke this tiger's beard. Are they looking for death?
Brother Xia didn't say anything, and the two of them would never do anything to hurt the brothers' feelings.
Since mid-to-late December, the popularity of the market has been dominated by the fast version of Toutiao.
Later, Douyin became more popular, and for a long time the two of them were fighting each other for popularity.
Those celebrities below who spend money to buy popularity deliberately hype that they have cheated, got divorced, found mistresses, etc., just to make headlines.
But in the end, they sadly discovered that they couldn't get online at all. Even if they spent money to buy a lot of 'traffic', it was of no use. The popularity of the above posts was firmly suppressed by 'Today's Toutiao Express Edition' and 'Douyin'
Already.
Moreover, the hot topics recently discussed on the Internet are how to get gold coins faster by brushing news, strategies for collecting cards, etc.
Some people also posted that by uploading videos to Douyin, they will get more cards that collect mobile phones, and some cards that are difficult to swipe will pop up, which also inspired everyone's enthusiasm for uploading videos.
Douyin got off to a fantastic start with a popularity that didn’t look like a new product at all.
This is something that many people don't think of.
Even when Liang Rubo called Xia Zekai to tell him about this, Xia Zekai didn't expect this.
He could predict that this model would be very popular at first, after all, it was Scorpion Baba's only one.
But he didn't expect it to be so popular.
"Ru Bo, do you still have enough money?" Xia Zekai asked him.
The two of them initially invested 100 million yuan each, and the total amount was 200 million yuan, which was enough for the early development of Douyin.
But now when you throw money at the market, it’s all in vain.
As expected, Liang Rubo readily admitted: "Brother Xia, money is spent very quickly."
"It's okay. The faster you spend money, the hotter the market is, which is a good thing." Xia Zekai said.
He said: "The sooner you lose money, the better."
Liang Rubo also told Xia Zekai his idea. They both have money, and they want to increase capital internally as the first step. Later, when Douyin begins to take shape, they will look for external capital financing.
"Okay!" Xia Zekai agreed simply.
He still has some money on hand, so it's not a big problem.
If you let him invest later, you will have to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.
The richest man doesn’t have that much capital flow in his hands.
Or simply invest in the name of ‘Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.’?
Xia Zekai had this idea in his mind.
After completing the investment in Jingtong Industrial Park this year, there is no further infrastructure investment for the time being. As a result, Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. has accumulated a large amount of capital flow in its account.
The bank also called Xia Zekai many times, thinking about letting him buy large-amount financial products. Xia Zekai also bought some financial products with guaranteed principal and interest.
But the rest have not been used yet.
In addition, Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. is like a money printing machine, generating large amounts of cash flow and profits every day.
Nowadays, everyone who sees Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. thinks it is a piece of fat.
"Ouch, you have to calm down!" Xia Zekai reminded himself in his mind, but he must not expand.
…
The Internet is still hyped, but Xia Zekai has no time to pay attention to those things.
Seeing that it was the end of the month, Yan Jinghua called him three times and asked him when he would go back.
Xia Zekai finally set a date for him on January 2nd.
This year's Spring Festival is in mid-to-late February, and there is still one and a half months left.
Before that, Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. will hold a grand annual party and finalize the list of this year's five "Major Outstanding Contribution Awards". Not only will there be surprise prizes, but you will also be able to watch the Spring Festival Gala live.
This is a dream for many people.
Many people have also speculated on what surprise prizes the company has prepared!
They can't wait to know the answer.
But the company still adheres to the principle of confidentiality and refuses to reveal anything, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
But more people are paying attention to whether they are qualified for the selection.
It's nearing the end of the year, and the list will be announced, and they want to see if they are on it.
It is a great honor for the five people of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. who have made significant and outstanding contributions this year. It is exciting to think about it.
