Early the next morning, Zhao Yi went to Qianxun Technology Company to see how their portal was doing. This is also the most promising business in the next few years. No matter what the future holds, at least it can be successful in the stock market. A big wave of money.
Of course, Zhao Yi is not short of money, so it will depend on how this business develops. If the advertising revenue is very good, then there is no need to go public to make money, or there is no need to go public prematurely to make money.
When Zhao Yi arrived at the company's headquarters, Jin Jiming, the president of Qianxun Technology Company, was already waiting downstairs. After the two chatted for a while, they finally got down to business.
The office situations of Qianxun Technology Company and Xinghan Technology Company are still different. The main employees of Xinghan Technology Company are programmers, and the rest are software designers, and the number is very small.
The main business here now is the portal website. Although technology is relatively important, content editing is more important, so the number of editors here is very large, and the total number of people is far more than that of Xinghan Technology.
Zhao Yi did not go to the office immediately to chat with Jin Jiming this time. Instead, he went directly to a computer to see how their portal was doing and whether it was similar to what he saw in his previous life.
The Internet industry is still in a wilderness era. Except for Zhao Yi, no one has experience. They are crossing the river by feeling the stones. They don't know what users like, so they can only guess.
Therefore, Zhao Yi is very worried about the design of their portal website. A good portal website design can make users happy at first glance, and at the same time, it can also prevent users from facing dense news information and not knowing where to start.
This involves setting up columns on the website page, placing the content that has the largest user base and is most likely to be of interest in a prominent position. Such content is usually gossip news.
To be honest, no matter what era it is, gossip news is the most eye-catching, especially celebrity gossip. Ordinary people like to join in the fun and make one or two comments at the same time.
In fact, these things are the least nutritious. Of course, this area is also the most loosely regulated. Those serious news, or political news, are relatively strictly controlled, and if you want to understand the meaning behind it, you also need a certain amount of insight and knowledge.
At this time, most netizens do not have a high level of knowledge. They do not have a sufficient understanding of national policies or international situations. At best, they just follow what others say.
In addition, we are now in a relatively special period. Although the country's economy has developed rapidly in recent years and people's lives have been greatly improved, this does not prevent hostile forces from engaging in public opinion wars.
Therefore, Zhao Yi asked Qianxun Technology Company to pay great attention to this aspect from the beginning. Political news needs to be strictly reviewed, and foreign exaggeration cannot be overly beautified.
There is no way around this. Nowadays, domestic people do not know much about foreign countries. Their news may become the first window for domestic people to contact the world, so strict control is very necessary.
As for press freedom, it is just about deceiving ignorant people. It can be said that the press in the world will not be truly free. What you see is what others want you to see, without exception.
It has been just a few years since the collapse of the North Side. It would have been okay if there was no Internet. Now that there is, and you are the first to do it, you must do a good job in this area, and you cannot do things that make your relatives happy and your enemies happy.
After Jin Jiming entered the IP address of the portal website, it took about half a second for the entire portal homepage to be loaded. This speed is not bad, but I don't know if it will be as fast after it goes online.
The domain name needs to be used after it goes online. Fanxing Software Company has already built all the foundations needed for the Internet. It is just waiting for Zhao Yi's order to open it.
After looking at the column settings on the home page, I found that there was no international news column, and the content was all related domestic information. Unexpectedly, Qianxun Technology Company was so cautious and simply blocked international news.
It is impossible to say that there is no international news, that is, ATV reporters are all over the world, and they have a huge amount of international news information. However, Qianxun Technology Company made them timid after his warning.
“International news columns still need to be set up. Although foreign countries cannot be overly beautified, some important events can still be reported. At the same time, the excellent performance of domestic enterprises in the international market can also be promoted.
Of course, at this time, only some of my companies have this kind of performance. You can also report it, even if it is to help brother companies advertise and increase their visibility.
Although they are famous internationally, not many people in China know them, so necessary publicity is still needed. I call such advertisements soft advertisements, which are carried out without users noticing.
In fact, this kind of soft advertising is very effective. Why are the systems of European and American countries so popular all over the world? Apart from their real strength, it is all about this kind of soft propaganda in disguise. " Zhao Yi said.
When Jin Jiming heard what he said, he smiled a little sheepishly and said, "We have no experience in reporting international news in China, so it is difficult to judge which news should be reported and which news should be resolutely blocked."
"In fact, it is very simple. Anything that can enhance our country's prestige, enhance our national pride, reflect the superiority of our social system, reflect the flaws of the Western system, and reflect the chaos of Western society can be reported.
After all, we are a Chinese company, so don’t sit on your butt. This is a fundamental issue. Political correctness exists no matter which country you are in. This red line must not be stepped on.
Of course, if it's an international version, you don't have so many scruples. You can report it as you want. At most, just be impartial and don't become the mouthpiece of a single political group.
As long as you maintain a neutral stance, no one will do anything to you. After all, both sides need your platform to speak out, and generally they will not attack you.
Moreover, the exchanges between the two parties on your platform can also increase the popularity of your platform. It can be said to be a win-win situation.
Of course, don't deliberately publish some false and fabricated information. After all, you are making a living in other people's places, so you should pay attention when you should. " Zhao Yi said.
After hearing Zhao Yi's words, Jin Jiming understood a lot instantly and knew how to report international news next.
"Okay, I understand what to do." Jin Jiming said.
Zhao nodded and continued: "As for domestic news, just follow the reports of the mainstream media, so that there will be no problem of stepping on the line.
There is no problem with other things such as celebrity gossip, lifestyle information, business and finance, etc. You can report them how you want. "
After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he clicked on a news article, which reported that the Senior Minister went to Shenzhen for an inspection. Zhao Yi had just experienced it, so he read it very carefully.
I found that except for the report on Hualong Clothing Company and its president Zi Yanran, there was no information about him at all. I felt that he was a transparent person accompanying the inspection, and he was not included in the pictures accompanying the news.
"Is this news an intact reprint of the news from People's Daily, or did you handle it yourself?" Zhao Yi asked.
"This should be reproduced intact. We will not perform secondary processing unless there are special circumstances." Jin Jiming said.
"This time the senior minister led an inspection team to Shenzhen, and I was also involved. Why do you think the mainstream media didn't report on me?" Zhao Yi asked.
"Uh~." Jin Jiming was stumped by Zhao Yi's question.
To be honest, before Jin Jiming became the president of Qianxun Technology Company, he was only a vice president of Fanxing Software Company, and he was also the vice president of technology, so he was relatively low-sensitivity to such things.
This is why Zhao Yi emphasized some things to him in terms of news content. If he were an old domestic editor, he probably wouldn't have so many long-winded words.
Seeing Jin Jiming's expression, Zhao Yi said: "You still need to invite the editor-in-chief of the domestic mainstream media to come over and serve as the editor-in-chief of your portal. It will be very beneficial to control your content.
Please don’t report any news about me in the future. I want to live a peaceful life for the time being and don’t want to be disturbed by others. You should understand this. "
When he was talking, Zhao Yi had also finished reading the report. Just when he was about to close the page, he found that there was still content below, so he pulled down the page and found that it was a reader's comment.
This was something Zhao Yi didn't expect. He didn't mention these contents before. The main reason is that society is not so open now. It is really difficult to manage the comment function for fear of being misled by some people.
As the first portal website, many things need to be cautious. It is not that Zhao Yi is afraid that the portal website will be closed. The main reason is that we are in the early stage of the development of the Internet. If something unpleasant happens, the morale of Internet companies will be damaged.
As a result, the employees of Qianxun Technology Company actually thought of this comment function themselves. Since they had already made it, Zhao Yi did not intend to let them close it.
So if you want to prevent others from taking advantage, you can only control the content of comments. However, what Zhao Yi is worried about is that there are so many stupid young people now, and whether they will have a rebellious mentality.
People are like this sometimes. If you don't let them say it, they will insist on saying it, and the more they say it, the more outrageous they will be. Even ten cows can't be pulled back. And now the country does not have legislation in this regard. It is not impossible to spread rumors and malicious slander. occur.
If an audit is required, a large amount of manpower will be needed, and it may not be possible to manage it. Technology can only be used to assist management and control.
"Do you have any relevant review or censorship mechanism for your comments? You can't just let people say it casually, right? Can you afford the serious consequences?" Zhao Yi asked.
Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Jin Jiming was confused again. When they launched the comment function, they just thought it could increase the stickiness of users and have certain social attributes, and they didn't have that many ideas.
But when Zhao Yi asked him, he also realized the risks involved. It was originally a good thing, but if it was not controlled, it would turn into a bad thing. It would be okay if it affected them, but if it affected his boss, it would be difficult to find a job in the future. .
Seeing Jin Jiming's expression, Zhao Yi also knew what was going on and said: "You must set up a content review department to review not only the comment content, but also the editor's news content. This is the last step to master." .
However, if this work is all done manually, firstly, the number of people will be very large, and secondly, there may be situations where it cannot be taken care of.
Therefore, before manual review, it is also necessary to use technical means to review and filter some keywords and keywords, so that they are targeted. "
Zhao Yi said this, thought about it, and found that in this case, the work efficiency is actually very low. This is still at home, and in the future, if we go abroad, such problems will also exist.
Not to mention the high labor costs, the timeliness will be much worse, and it will not be comprehensive. If any auditor does not like the company and does not take the work seriously, it will cause trouble for the company.
Therefore, just filtering through keywords or keywords is not very safe, and omnipotent netizens can always invent new words to express their meaning, which is basically impossible to guard against.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi decided to simply use artificial intelligence technology in this area, so that the demand for personnel in this area would be much less, and at the same time, there would be no fish that would slip through the net, and the timeliness would be very guaranteed.
Now he already has an artificial intelligence that is familiar with natural languages from all over the world. He only needs to train this artificial intelligence in sensitive meanings, and it will be fully qualified for this job.
Extending from this, Zhao Yi thought about smart customer service. The global demand for customer service is very huge, which means that the scale of this industry is also very large. The scale of future generations will be trillions of yuan, and now it is hundreds or even thousands. billion in scale.
Leaving aside the issue of profit margins for the moment, Zhao Yi is very excited about the size of this market. It can at least drive large-scale employment in the country, which is very worthwhile for Zhao Yi to do.
Moreover, Zhao Yi holds artificial intelligence and is proficient in the natural languages of various countries. If he is trained, he can even speak their dialects and slang. If he is trained in psychology for artificial intelligence, he will be a top customer service staff.
Moreover, due to the needs of intelligent translation experts, the artificial intelligence in Zhao Yi's hands is also a well-educated and knowledgeable person who is proficient in various disciplines. No matter from any angle, he is a top-notch customer service personnel.
If all the customer service orders from around the world are snatched away, then the domestic employment problem alone will cost tens of millions. A very large enterprise just appeared in Zhao Yi's mind.
"Well, don't worry about it for now. I'm going to set up a company to handle content review, customer and other services. You only need to guide these data flows to the designated interface, and then the review results will be returned from the designated interface.
It's very convenient and fast. You don't need too much manual review on your side, and it's also fast. " Zhao Yi said.
Jin Jiming heard Zhao Yi's words and asked very curiously: "Is it solved through technology? What kind of technology is it? It's so magical."
After hearing what he said, Zhao rolled his eyes and said, "Don't ask so many specific questions, just make sure that we can solve your problem.
Not only that, when you enter the international market in the future, I also have the technology to provide you with instant translation of web content, so that people all over the world can browse all web content in their native language.
With this translation technology in hand, your portal will be a huge success internationally. "
Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Jin Jiming, who has a technical background, became even more itchy. Regardless of what Zhao Yi just said, he said: "Is it artificial intelligence? I heard about it at Fanxing Software Company, but I didn't know it was so advanced. .”
"That's right. Don't tell anyone. It's still in the confidentiality stage." Zhao Yi touched his forehead and said helplessly.
After hearing Zhao Yi's words, Jin Jiming nodded. Although he still looked excited, he didn't say anything more about artificial intelligence.
Zhao Yi turned his attention back to the web page and tried to post a comment manually. To be honest, the comment function was very rudimentary. Even if it was displayed as a single message, he would not know which comment this message was replying to.
“Now that we have a comment function, we need to do it well. For example, I just replied to this comment, but I can’t see the relationship between the two comments at all. The social attributes of this kind of comment are too poor.
You add the @ symbol in front of the reply message, followed by the username and content of the previous comment. When the reply is successful, the user of the previous message can see that his comment has been replied to by others.
Only in this way can you have a sense of recognition, which means that your comments have been recognized by others, which increases the social attributes and increases their stickiness to your website.
There are also some people who don’t want to type so many texts to reply, but you also need to make these people feel involved, which can also increase the stickiness of your website.
Therefore, you can also add a like function after the comment to display the number of people who agree with the comment in real time. However, do not add a negative comment function, because this will dampen the enthusiasm of the people who posted the comment and affect their mood.
In this way, users can express their support for this comment with just one click, spending minimal effort to give them a sense of participation. " Zhao Yi said.
After listening to Zhao Yi's words, Jin Jiming patted his thigh and said: "Sure enough, Mr. Zhao is still awesome. In a short time, the plan was better than the one we had thought about for so long."
Although it was a bit satisfying to be flattered, he still said seriously: "Don't rush to praise me, I haven't finished speaking yet. You'd better put the primary comments and reply comments together so that others can read them more coherently. Know the cause and effect.”
These are common comment functions in later generations, but no one has seen them before. This is the first time they have done this, so Zhao Yi seemed so amazing after he said it.
Zhao Yi did not wait for Jin Jiming to speak, and continued to enter some comments to see if there were any undiscovered problems. As a result, as soon as the text was entered, he realized a problem.
That's the problem with the input method. Because Zhao Yi felt that the Wubi input method was very fast for inputting text, he developed a Wubi input method himself and then handed it over to Fanxing Software Company for promotion.
But this is only for veterans like Zhao Yi. Coupled with Zhao Yi's IQ, he can learn everything quickly. Not to mention the Wubi input method, even Zheng code input, he can remember every word.
But today's Internet users are all first-generation Internet users. When they enter Internet cafes, it is impossible for them to start learning Wubi input method. The cost is too high, and some people may simply give up.
Therefore, the pinyin input method from the previous life came into Zhao Yi's sight. Although it seemed a bit inefficient to him, the learning cost was very low, and it became better and better with more use. After using it for a long time, the efficiency increased.
Our country's "Chinese Pinyin Scheme" related courses have entered primary school classrooms across the country in 1958. In other words, young people in their twenties now have learned Pinyin, and there is no difficulty at all in using the Pinyin input method.
It's just that he doesn't plan to let Qianxun Technology Company do this. He also wants to achieve word association, which is not easy. And for promotion, it is more suitable to be affiliated to Fanxing Software Company. After all, the previous Wubi input method was also given to them. .
After writing this matter down, Zhao Yi continued to give Jin Jiming advice and asked them to adjust some layouts of the web page, as well as the web design.
Jin Jin Jiming directly called the web designer over. After all, he was not a web designer, and he was afraid that the information he conveyed was inconsistent with the information expressed by Zhao Yi, and what he produced was not what Zhao Yi wanted.
I talked like this all morning, and had lunch here at noon. (End of chapter)
