If you want to intercept other people's software, the most basic factor is to intercept their project leader.
It's not that Wang Yan can't develop that software.
The interface is so clear and mature, how difficult can it be to copy it
The problem is what happens next.
Wang Yan did not have the original intention of the project leader to develop that software, let alone a complete idea, so he could do half the result with half the effort.
It's not impossible to start by feeling your way, but it's bound to take many detours.
At the same time, other people's projects are still being developed simultaneously, and will eventually be launched and become rivals of their own products.
It's even possible that other people's products will be on the market earlier.
Time always stands with the original version.
Only by poaching project sponsors and hollowing out their teams can we hope to beat the original version.
Well, the probability is half or half, it depends on which company the other party belongs to.
If the software was created by Paixun, there is basically no chance of winning.
If that software was created by Ahri, it would basically win.
If that software comes from Baidu... forget it, it's impossible.
The reason why Wang Yan dared to make such a judgment was because the last time he had dinner with Shen Nanpeng, the boss talked a lot about the internal secrets of the three major factories, which gave Wang Yan a deep understanding of the Internet landscape.
So he is now trying to reason - which company's product is it
Baidu is impossible.
Lao Li's energy is not focused on this. Wouldn't it be nice to advertise
Okay, no more complaining, Baidu is actually a good company.
At this moment, Baidu President Zhang Yaqin is struggling to balance the major internal business groups, and it is obvious that he is unable to do what he wants.
Prince Li Mingyuan was completely isolated, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Lao Wang is engaged in artificial intelligence, and Lao Shang is maintaining the basic search base.
They haven't incubated anything new independently for many years. The people below may follow the trend, but they basically can't do it well.
Even without taking into account Baidu's internal chaos, the company would never have been able to incubate such interesting and clean software.
There is no advertisement on the software interface, which is the biggest evidence!
Oops, we agreed not to blackmail Baidu... Forget it, go ahead and blackmail Ahri.
Ahri is very ambitious now. He wants to do anything, and he is especially willing to spend money.
But Detective Wang has completely ruled out the possibility of Ahri.
The reason is simple - too many examples can prove that Ali can't do anything except e-commerce.
A recent example is Xiami. Ever since Gaodagen became the boss, he has been useless in less than half a year...
If it were a project hatched by Ahri, it would never be that big or good.
In fact, the core reason is very simple: because Ahri’s main business is too strong.
All the resources of the group are used to serve the main business. E-commerce is the aircraft carrier, and everything else is frigates.
Ahri never needed the frigate to be strong, as long as it could block the outside.
It is impossible for the frigate to become stronger. Not to mention the lack of resources, the internal atmosphere also emphasizes e-commerce over other things.
When there is an obvious chain of disdain within a company, when the main business is dominated by arrogance and the side business begins to be a waste, how can it be possible to do well in other areas
Forget about side jobs, Taobao Live, as the biological son of Taobao Mall, doesn’t get the same treatment
Without Wang Yan's operation, the live broadcast team would still be eating nothing.
After Pass lost Ahri, Dachang was left with only painful news.
Logically speaking, short video software with social attributes is indeed in line with Paixun’s consistent style.
The current Painxun videos are not very good, so it makes perfect sense to start over and create another short video software.
But Wang Yan thought for a long time, recalling a certain detail, and felt something was wrong no matter how he thought about it.
That detail is very small and inconspicuous, and ordinary people will definitely not realize the problem, but Brother Gou's current thinking seems to be divinely inspired, a bit stronger than the daily state of 89 points of intelligence.
Abbreviation: Formo Wang.
The details are hidden in the video of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ speech.
It has more than 800,000 likes and more than 40,000 comments, which proves that the video content is very inspiring, highly liked and discussed enthusiastically.
Therefore, it is unreasonable to only have 568 forwarding data.
Under normal circumstances, if the forwarding and sharing function is a very convenient one-click forwarding to Moments, the forwarding volume should be at least half of the comments.
Because many people may not play short videos, but they will definitely use WeChat.
If this is Tongxun's software, then interconnecting with WeChat and forwarding it to Moments with one click is a completely mutually beneficial win-win situation.
WeChat can attract traffic to short videos, and short video software can bring more user usage time to WeChat and strengthen user stickiness.
By then, Paixun, with the trinity of QQ, WeChat, and video software, will widen the moat of the social empire to a level that is difficult for gods to cross.
It is impossible for Pain Xun not to see this.
But the fact is that the number of reposts for all the videos Wang Yan saw in those 6 seconds was unreasonably low.
So Wang Yan made a bold guess: Is it because that software was not developed by Tongxun, but was suppressed by Tongxun
Domestic supervision of monopolistic behavior is not strict at present. It is very possible for Paixun to engage in malicious competition and block the products of a small company.
Doing this kind of thing is very in line with Pain Xun's urinary nature.
After hacking the three major manufacturers, Brother Gou made the final judgment—it was not a product of the three major manufacturers.
Then count down and see whose family it might belong to.
Meituan, it’s impossible, they won’t have the energy for at least three years.
Didi, it’s impossible, for the same reason.
Sina, it's impossible. All its sections are half-dead, and they are all supported by Weibo, and Weibo is the exclusive territory of Miaopai. That software is obviously the opponent of Miaopai and Miaopai's son Xiaokaxiu.
NetEase, it’s impossible. Brother Sanshi is obsessed with Fantasy Westward Journey, and he has been suffering from swine fever recently, so he doesn’t have the time.
Jingdong, nonsense.
Qihoo 360 is even more ridiculous. If you slap the evidence on Brother Gou's face, Brother Gou won't believe it.
Sohu is dead. If something happens, it will burn paper.
Brother Gou counted this year's top ten Internet users back and forth, and saw that no one looked like them, so he felt they didn't fit in.
There is no other way. Open the official list of the top 100 Internet companies and prepare to count down one by one.
Brother Gou opened the webpage, and because half of it was full of nonsense, he just scrolled down.
As a result, it went too far and directly pushed the webpage to the second half of the ranking.
After casually scanning the rankings, Brother Gou was about to scroll up when he suddenly saw the name of a company and his eyes froze.
There was an unreasonable feeling that made Wang Yan feel that the answer was approaching.
That company is called: Beijing ByteDance Technology Co., Ltd.
It is the parent company of Toutiao. It is not very big at the moment, but it has great potential.
When having dinner with Mr. Shen that day, Shen Nanpeng specifically talked about this company.
Wang Yan still remembers every word of that conversation.
Lao Shen’s original words are as follows -
“Everyone says that I have never made mistakes in my investment career, but in fact, I have also encountered Waterloo.
The investment that made me most regretful was missing out on Toutiao.
I clearly saw the potential in Zhang Yiming, but I overestimated the level of competition in the market. So after repeated discussions and weighing, when the A round was launched, I did not invest.
Later, it only took Zhang Yiming 9 months to prove me wrong.
At that time, he only wanted US$1 million, but by the time I got the Series C round, the valuation had increased 100 times. "
Shen Nanpeng can be so highly praised, and the attributes of Toutiao are so consistent, so...
that's it!
Brother Gou first felt a strong sense of self-confidence, feeling that he would not make a mistake, and then he had time to be surprised.
Huh
Am I a little too spiritual today? !
After pondering for a moment, he thought of the attributes of [Destiny is Mine].
[Card effect:
1. After activating the card, you will get some revelations about the future;
2. Weakly enhance mental strength;
3. Weakly enhance charm;
4. Gain the aura of success in everything.]
[Note 3: The aura of everything going well will help the host maintain a good attitude, a happy mood, and be as lucky as the European Emperor]
That’s right, it’s the additional effect of the divine card!
The first is item three, which slightly increases mental power.
[Note 1: Mental power is different from intelligence. It is the extreme control and purification of attention, and is the manifest support of one's own will]
According to Wang Yan's understanding, mental power is the software of intelligence.
It determines the effectiveness of intelligence.
With high mental strength, you will be more focused, your ability to collect and analyze information will be stronger, and your thinking will be more efficient.
The improvement of the card itself, coupled with the additional increase in divine energy, was enough to significantly improve Wang Yan's thinking ability.
Item 4: Everything goes smoothly, even more unreasonably.
Wang Yan just pulled it casually and accidentally pulled up more progress bars, but he saw a company that met the conditions at a glance. It was definitely not an accident.
No, well, the thing itself may be accidental, but the result must be beneficial to Wang Yan. This is the Ou Emperor.
Look at it this way…
Damn it! Brother is so awesome now!
This can happen!
Wang Yan belatedly realized how powerful [Destiny is in Me] was, indeed it was a magical card with special explanations.
[Explanation: Every outstanding person selected by the tide of the times has more or less carried the destiny for a period of time. At that time, they were invincible and invincible.]
If Wang Yan was not confident that he could replicate the success of that software before, now, Wang Yan no longer doubted the victory.
What he saw must be a Dacheng software interface, the final version that has gone through countless adjustments.
In addition, the development company has been determined, and it is completely possible to know yourself and the enemy.
How simple is the rest
Establish a company, recruit people, develop, operate...
I really don’t believe it. In terms of spending money, can Zhang Yiming beat me? !
Although Internet companies burn investors’ money and always boast that they don’t feel distressed, how could they actually not feel distressed
That money was all exchanged for company shares!
If you burn too much or too much, you will not only have to accept questions from investors, but it will also easily break the capital chain.
I really don’t feel bad when I burn money. My father never asked me where I spent my money.
The fever is gone, just breathe again!
Faced with the painful news, Ah Li, Gouzi was obedient.
Facing Bytedance, which has not yet risen, Brother Gou strikes hard!
Okay, that's it, cut him off!
So Jinyan Investment added a new company with a very tacky name, called Modu Destiny Technology Co., Ltd.
As for the name of the software, it is yet to be determined. Let’s put it up first.
Time suddenly became fuller.
…
The memory on the Internet only lasts for 72 hours. Wang Yan had a wave of awareness of his presence before, but by April 7th and 8th, this person was no longer found.
All the hustle and bustle has gone away, and I can just calm down and get down to business.
The first thing is naturally to read.
Morning, noon and evening every day, a total of about 6 hours.
No matter how much it hurts my mind, no matter how little it is, it wastes the rare spiritual state of learning, 6 hours is just enough.
The second thing was to formally reject the investment from Goose Factory and Lichang Factory.
In fact, we had a good conversation. Although the attitudes and styles of the two companies were quite different, they both recognized the value of Wangting Entertainment.
The final valuation is 3.5 billion.
Lichang is even willing to exchange 800 million in cash plus Lai Feng Live Platform for 25% of Wangting Entertainment’s shares.
He also promised that as long as Wang Yan is willing, he will be the third brother of Ali's entertainment department, specifically integrating the live broadcast platform for Ali and being responsible for its operation.
If the performance is outstanding, the seat of the CEO of Big Entertainment will be vacant.
At this moment, a new road that he had never thought of lay before Brother Dog.
President of the live broadcast segment → President of Big Entertainment → Senior partner of Ali → Rotation of major business groups → President of Ali.
As long as you perform well enough, it won't take long to reach the top.
And this does not prevent Wang Yan from integrating his Wangting Entertainment into the Ahli family and developing and growing Ma Nai.
Unfortunately, Brother Dog was not interested.
Even if we can really take the position of President of Ali within 15 years, what's the point
What's more, there is a brand new fun thing in front of you, and Brother Dog is going all out for it.
The third thing is naturally the new company.
The headhunting company helped find a general manager who was responsible for setting up the business. He was a Chinese executive poached from Google.
On the one hand, he has strong management skills. Comrade Chen Jiashi is also very knowledgeable about technology, so Brother Gou simply gave him a high salary of 7.5 million yuan that he could not refuse.
In fact, Lao Chen's salary at Google has reached the level of 1.2 million U.S. dollars. It sounds like he will not make much money when he returns to China.
However, domestic money and foreign money are two different concepts.
With an annual salary of 7.5 million in China, the quality of life is at least twice that of 1.2 million in the United States.
The gap in purchasing power is one aspect, five insurances and one housing fund are another aspect, and the company's provision of housing and cars is another big factor.
Domestic safety, convenience of life, and superiority of medical education have all surpassed those of the United States.
Mobile payment is fully popularized, medical coverage is fully covered, returned talent protection plan...
A real annual salary of 7.5 million, coupled with the equity that the entrepreneurial veteran will definitely get in the future, plus Wang Yan’s frantic paid-in registered capital of 1 billion...
Oh, besides, there happened to be a fierce gun battle over there recently. Chen Jiashi gritted his teeth and returned home.
Lao Chen is a very capable person, with a wide range of contacts, wild ways, and strong ability to do things. Under his investigation, the key figures of the new software were quickly targeted.
Liang Rushi of ByteDance.
The soul of Toutiao, chief technology officer, algorithm engineer, and top technology expert.
It can be said that as long as he is poached, Wang Yan's revival plan will be more than half completed.
However, the trouble is that he is not only Zhang Yiming’s classmate, but also the co-founder of ByteDance.
Chen Jiashi advised tactfully: "Liang Rushi definitely meets your requirements, but the cost of poaching him will probably be very high, and the gain outweighs the loss..."
At this point, most people give up.
Wang Yan said no.
He specially flew to the imperial capital, and through Hongying, he went out to meet Liang Rushi and formally extended the invitation.
Not much to say, just a few simple sentences.
"If you are willing to condescend to come to my small temple, then you will be the CEO. I will only be responsible for proposing the direction and will not care about the rest.
The precedent of Wangting Entertainment is there, and my credibility in this regard is obvious to all.
It is up to you to write what the company will eventually become, whether it will be great or mediocre.
In addition, please worry about your salary and benefits. I will give you a form. You can fill it out however you think is appropriate. I will only sign it.
All employees who come with you must do the same.
You give it at your discretion and I will approve it.
Finally, there's equity in addition to salary—I'm going to give you 20%.
The paid-up registered capital of Tianming Technology is 1 billion. Feel free to spend as much as you want. If it is not enough, I will continue to increase capital. Of course, dilution of your shares is unavoidable, as I have said in advance. "
Brother Gou hit him with a stick, and Lao Liang was knocked unconscious.
Mental illness, right
How can you poach people like this? !
But the various documents are right in front of you, and they are all true.
Lao Liang couldn't help but feel moved to be valued and respected. Senior intellectuals were too tired of this.
Wang Yan didn't say a word against Zhang Yiming throughout the whole process, but comparing what he paid and what he got in Toutiao, there was a world of difference.
Originally, he planned to reject Wang Yan's words regardless of what he said, but now, he hesitated.
"Mr. Wang, I don't understand. Do I mean so much to your company?"
You may not know it well, but I signed a very strict non-compete agreement. Not only can I not take away Toutiao’s algorithms and data, I can’t even continue to work on APP development for portals, news, and chat software. "
Wang Yan smiled, it will be easier if you are willing to talk.
He replied confidently: "What we want to do is a music short video software, similar to musical.ly, without conflict.
With your experience and ability, we have developed our own algorithm that belongs only to Tianming Technology. It is just a matter of investment.
In this case, what is the use of Toutiao’s algorithm
Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything that goes against professional ethics. "
Hearing this, Liang Rushi was completely tempted.
It’s not that I, Lao Liang, are not firm, it’s just that Mr. Wang has given me too much!
Just sign and get 200 million, fill in your salary as you like, and become the boss directly...
It's like a dream.
Although Liang Rushi is the co-founder of ByteDance, he does not directly hold shares of ByteDance. Only when the company is successfully listed can he get his share of the rewards in the option pool.
Theoretically, when ByteDance is successfully listed in three to five years and its market value exceeds 10 billion US dollars, he will probably be able to obtain more than 50 million shares.
It is no less than the current 200 million, but the uncertainty is much greater.
ByteDance is now just a leading news APP player. The product is good and very popular, but the upper limit is only that.
It is difficult to say whether it can be listed on the market and whether it will be ignored.
And Tianming Technology may not be unable to go public. Musical short videos are a brand new track. Musical.ly topped the list of the US App Store last year, and Xiaoka Show became an overnight sensation and became popular in the entertainment industry.
What especially makes Liang Rushi feel excited is that Wangting Entertainment and music-based short video software are so compatible.
Wang Ting + Tian Ming is not a simple one plus one relationship, just like a man and a woman can become a football team, the potential is terrifying.
However, despite being so excited, Liang Rushi still did not make an immediate decision.
"Mr. Wang, thank you for your kindness, but this is a serious matter and I need time to think it over..."
Wang Yan did not continue to pester, but smiled meaningfully.
"Yes, I understand. In ancient times, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times and it has been passed down to this day. Next time I come back, I will let Mr. Liang see my sincerity."
Liang Rushi suddenly felt a huge pressure, but didn't know why.
Then when they met again three days later, Wang Yan brought a new document—a 25% equity transfer agreement for Tianming Technology.
Lao Liang finally understood where the pressure came from.
Three visits to the thatched cottage made it very clear that Wang Yan would invite him three times at most, and the third time would be 30% of the equity.
The final offer is this much, there is no fourth offer.
However, Wang Dashenhao dared to give it, but Lao Liang did not dare to take it.
The more equity you get, the better. If you are greedy now, how can you work together in the future? !
Lao Liang was also decisive and refused immediately.
"Mr. Wang, 20% equity is very good. I have to work hard to be worthy of your recognition. If you give me more, I will feel guilty. So be it!"
At this point, Wang Yan has successfully built up the reputation of Tianming Technology and is moving further and further in the direction of the big boss.

In the last chapter, I hinted wildly, but in the end, there wasn’t even a new leader~~~
Can you have some ambition
