Chapter 338: Able to tolerate people, able to admonish
Du Caige didn't come over today to chat, but wanted to seriously talk to Fan Youqiao about the product.
So getting straight to the point is exactly what he wants.
"Well, I have a lot of opinions. Let's start with the name. The name 'Xunyin' is not bad, the connotation is very rich and appropriate, but it is a bit awkward to pronounce, and it can be changed for the better. ”
Fan Youqiao was not angry, and said with a smile: "Oh, brother, what do you propose?"
"'Xunyin' has the meaning of swiftness, and at the same time the meaning of information. Convey audio and information quickly. That's what you mean by that name, right?"
Fan Youqiao nodded: "En." ”
"I'll give you a name, WeChat. Think about it. ”
Fan Youqiao read it twice, "WeChat...... WeChat ......"
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "Interesting! Letter, it's communication, information." Micro is tiny, short is also subtle. When you see this name, you think of short, tiny, fragmented, and very fast information exchange. Especially with the product 'Weibo', people's acceptance of the name 'WeChat' will be higher. ”
He looked up at Du Caige, his eyes were full of admiration, "Brother, a writer is a writer, and the level of naming is much higher than ours." ”
Du Caige didn't have the habit of blushing, but he still had a little heat on his face.
"Ahem, move on to the product. ”
"Brother En, you say!" Fan Youqiao was obviously looking forward to it even more. He didn't say whether he would adopt the name "WeChat" or not.
Du Caige didn't expect this kid to listen to persuasion 100%.
He glanced at Ah Sa, the girl sat quietly at the head of the bed, always looking very cold, as if she was not interested in anything.
In fact, he only wants to communicate with Fan Youqiao alone, because some creative things are very easy to imitate.
If Ah Sa leaks this idea in advance, it will be a major setback for this social app of Tengda Network.
Unless this app has occupied half of the country and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is not afraid of imitation and plagiarism by others.
And now, this newborn app is still very fragile, if the LL company and other giants know these ideas and copy them directly, then this "Xunyin" will be stillborn.
But Fan Youqiao seems to trust Ah Sa very much, and Du Caige can't say anything.
After thinking about it for a while, he said, "I watched the beta version released by your 'Xunyin' and tried it out. ”
"Oh, what do you think, brother?"
"It's not good," Du Caige shook his head and said, "such a product is not worth giving up LL." The current 'Xunyin' will be a little easier to use than the mobile version of LL, but this little bit of good will not convince me to give up my connections on LL. ”
"You know, that's the connections I've spent years building, the friends I've added. There are real friends, colleagues, former classmates, netizens, old lovers, and online dating partners. I'm not in touch now, but maybe I'll want to get in touch again one day?"
For the first time, Ah Sa showed a clear expression, she pouted, a little unhappy.
Fan Youqiao held his chin with his hand and listened intently.
His slender white fingers subconsciously swept across his cheeks and lips, adding a bit of bewitching beauty to him.
"Well, my brother has a point. So what do you suggest about this?" Of course, he will not pay attention to Du Caige's "old lover and online love partner" boringly, because it is obvious that Du Caige is just giving an example for ordinary users.
For many ordinary users, there is indeed such a rigid need.
Moreover, most users, just because they are afraid of trouble, do not want to change to a social software, which has been proven several times by those Internet giants who have lost to LL.
How to win new registered users and keep them is a difficult problem.
That's why Fan Youqiao made up his mind to do this.
Because he saw an opportunity in it.
What others can't do, what is difficult to do, if I do it, it will be difficult for you to imitate. That's his train of thought.
It's not difficult to develop new registered users, as long as you burn money.
But how do you leave them behind?
Then there must be a good interactive experience and irreplaceable functions.
"Let's not talk about suggestions," Du Caige said, "let me ask you, now that you have an LL account, you can usually log in to LL, chat with your colleagues, friends, old lovers, online dating partners, and make voice calls with your parents thousands of kilometers away." ”
At the same time, your LL account can log in to the games you like to play with one click, log in to the forums and post bars you often go to, log in to Shimmer Weibo, and log in to Yuanguang Video Network. ”
"If you meet someone you can talk to on forums and post bars, Weibo, and games, you can easily add her as a LL friend. So your LL friends list is getting longer and longer. ”
"So tell me, what do I have to pay to make you give up LL and start over with another social app?"
Fan Youqiao thought for a while, and touched his lips with his fingers, "It's difficult, I've thought about it too." Mr. Yan always said something that made me think deeply, she said that doing socializing, and in the end, I found out that I was actually doing ecology. So first of all, I have to make my social app have some irreplaceable and very convenient features. ”
"Secondly, I need to find a partner quickly to connect my app with the most popular games, the most popular forums and Weibo and video sites. ”
"In the end, it would be better to have a way for my social app to migrate all of my LL friends. Of course, I know it's unrealistic," Speaking of this, Fan Youqiao smiled wryly, "Even if I give 1 billion, LL won't sell this data." ”
"No, you're wrong. Du Caige said with a smile.
"Huh?"
"10 billion won't sell. Half of LL's value lies in his data. ”
"Yes, I know. ”
Fan Youqiao looked up at Du Caige with an open face asking for advice: "Brother, I already knew that this was difficult to do before I did 'WeChat'. But no matter how difficult it is, since I have already embarked on this road, there is no reason to retreat. ”
"But brother, Mr. Yan said, you can let me avoid a lot of detours. Of course I'd like to take fewer detours! So brother, don't hide it, say whatever good suggestions you have, you are also a shareholder of the company, and I work hard to make money for you, right?"
He deliberately used "WeChat" to replace "Xunyin", which is to indicate that he will seriously consider every suggestion of Du Caige and accept almost all of it.
Du Caige understood what he meant.
"Then I'll give you a few suggestions. If you do, or at least some, I'll have more suggestions later. If you don't adopt it, that's okay, we're still friends. ”
"Well, brother, you say. Fan Youqiao smiled happily.
"First of all, three words. Lightweight, concise, beautiful. Du Caige stopped after saying a short sentence, making Fan Youqiao think.
Fan Youqiao was thoughtful.
And Ah Sa also showed a thoughtful expression for the first time.
After a while, Fan Youqiao shook his head lightly, with a little wry smile: "If you don't say it, brother, we will really go into a misunderstanding." I always want to be multi-functional, comprehensive, I want this, I want that. ”
Du Caige smiled: "So you think it's important to be light and concise now?"
"Yes," Fan Youqiao admitted, "I thought of the name 'WeChat', which originally had the meaning of simplicity in it. ”
Thinking of Weibo again, why can Weibo easily beat traditional blogs? With such a fast pace of life in modern times, people do not need to be big and complete, but need to be simple and small. ”
"Yes, brother, you're right, we'll start working on it as soon as we go back, optimize the product, and take 'lightness, simplicity and beauty' as the new standard for the product. ”
Du Caige's mood was a little strange.
Before, he felt that Fan Youqiao was young and promising, and he earned money that many people couldn't earn in a lifetime before graduating from college.
This kid should be just when he is frivolous, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to listen to other people's opinions.
That's why he was very hesitant to invest in Tengda Network.
But now that I really got in touch, I realized that Fan Youqiao was so humble and could listen to persuasion.
In ancient times, Fan Youqiao at least had some qualities similar to Liu Bang and Li Shimin.
Accommodating.
Able to admonish.
With such qualities, Fan Youqiao definitely has the opportunity to become an excellent corporate leader.
Du Caige quickly cleaned up his mood, and quickly put away the contempt that had arisen before because Fan Youqiao was too young, and said cautiously: "In this case, my second suggestion: expand and optimize the team." ”
"Before, you had a little fight, and a few friends made an app, which is indeed enough. But since your goal is to replace LL and become the hegemon of the social field, a technical team of several hundred people is very necessary. ”
"With the addition of marketing, after-sales, quality assurance, business, legal and other teams, the company will expand to at least a few thousand people. Not now, of course, but now we have begun to restructure the company and divide the responsibilities of the management. I don't know much about this, you can ask Mr. Yan for more advice. ”
Fan Youqiao patted his thigh: "That's right, brother, you said to my heart." This is really on the agenda. ”
He laughed: "It's really right to come and meet you today. If I hadn't talked to you about this, our Tengda network didn't know how many detours we would have to take. So is there anything else you can tell me about the product itself?"
Du Caige also understood the meaning of his words.
In fact, Fan Youqiao has already begun to think about team optimization and expansion. Even the ideas are similar to Du Caige, so there is no need for Du Caige to say more.
Fan Youqiao is most concerned about product-related issues.
Du Caige nodded and raised a finger: "Voice intercom." ”
Without waiting for Fan Youqiao to speak, he immediately raised his second finger: "Scan, QR code." ”
"More ways to add friends. "This is the third finger.
And then the fourth. "Mobile payments. ”
"Circle of friends. "Fifth finger.
