The plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain has been accomplished.
While Boss Ma and Boss Sun were both entering the bike-sharing business, Ye Xuan quietly transferred more than 200 YY Technology backbones out of Ye's Building.
They took a bus to a small commercial area on the outskirts of Jiangdu.
Although it is remote, it has office buildings, a food street, and everything you need for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The employees were full of doubts.
"What does the boss want us for?"
"It feels so mysterious."
"Is there any new project?"
"Impossible? Wasn't the new task force just established ten days ago?"
"But why did you ask us to come here? And in such a remote place."
Amid the confusion of the employees, Ye Xuan came here the next day.
A meeting was held.
At the meeting, Ye Xuan looked at the more than 200 people in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Congratulations, you have been selected here. It means that you are employees worthy of my trust, and you are also employees with strong business capabilities. Your future prospects are definitely limitless."
"Okay, without further ado, this time, I have called everyone here for a new project, a project that I really like."
After these words were spoken, the employees looked at each other in bewilderment.
What's the meaning?
Really optimistic?
What about that project ten days ago?
They thought of a possibility: the project was fake and a scam.
The employees broke out in a sweat.
"The boss is so insidious!"
"But I really like how insidious the boss is!"
Ye Xuan said: "Okay, let's sign the confidentiality agreement first... As a relatively important project, confidentiality is necessary. If anyone does not want to sign the confidentiality agreement, you can withdraw now."
The secretary distributed a confidentiality agreement to everyone.
All employees are full of admiration for Ye Xuan and have great confidence in his vision. Naturally, they would not quit at this time, so they all signed their names on the confidentiality agreement.
After collecting the confidentiality agreement, Ye Xuan nodded with satisfaction and began to formally explain the project.
"The era of self-media!"
Ye Xuan wrote a few words on the whiteboard and then tapped it.
"This is the topic of the project I want to talk about today."
"The concept of self-media was first proposed in 2002. Foreign scholars called it "media", where media refers to traditional media forms, while we-media refers to the form of global news information transmission and broadcasting achieved with the help of satellites."
"In July 2003, it had a detailed concept: ordinary people can interview, disseminate and comment on various news events through digitalization, networking and the global information system."
"What we need to do now is to start a self-media era!"
Start a new era?
The boss is awesome!
All the employees were excited by Ye Xuan's words.
Ye Xuan looked at the employees' fiery gazes and smiled slightly. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
Now it is 2010. With the rapid development of blogs, microblogs and forum news, citizen journalism websites have gradually emerged, making the self-media model more mature.
However, these are still only available on PC and have not yet entered the smartphone app.
Only by using modern smartphones to record all kinds of news anytime and anywhere, releasing it on the Internet through platforms, and expressing one's own opinions, can this form quickly attract more people to participate on the Internet, and truly transform into the era of self-media.
And now, what Ye Xuan wants to do is to build this platform.
The name is——
yy headlines!
That's right, it is the Toutiao account that has evolved from its previous life.
On the other side of the earth, what is the market valuation of Toutiao in 2018? More than 60 billion US dollars, and it is not listed yet. If it were listed, the value would be even higher.
Then, why did it succeed?
Because it was the first to use ordinary people as authors on a large scale to publish news, the amount of news it could accumulate could reach hundreds of thousands, millions, or tens of millions of news items in a single day, thereby attracting a large number of users who read the news.
With the support of huge traffic, it will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort no matter what it does.
Then it started to incubate small videos such as Huoshan and Douyin, and also involved finance, film IP, insurance, and expanded overseas...
Because of its traffic, it has become the king of the self-media era and a powerful empire on the Internet.
And now, Ye Xuan wants to make him.
With the help of artificial intelligence Luo Tianyi, accurate push notifications can be screened based on user preferences, and timely checks can be carried out on political and pornographic content, plagiarism checks, etc. These will become the moat of YY Toutiao. Even if someone follows YY Toutiao's lead and sets up a self-media platform, it is estimated that those self-media platforms will be overwhelmed by political, pornographic, plagiaristic and copyright infringement issues.
In the previous life, Toutiao was repeatedly summoned by the state for issues such as copyright and pornography, which was very serious.
…
Ye Xuan gave a speech for a whole day, instilling the concepts of the self-media era and the YY Toutiao plan into all employees, and then left the rest to the employees to do on their own.
Anyway, I believe that Ye Xuan has already given the plan, and with the abilities of these backbones, there will definitely be no problem.
"I'll be waiting for your results in a month!"
"Yes, boss!"
All the employees looked at Ye Xuan with burning eyes, their blood boiling, feeling that they were shouldering an important mission!
