To do a line, you must love a line, otherwise it is impossible to do a good job.

Originally, Wu Tao also thought that if he sprinkled water in the Internet industry, he could send out many buds, and then grow into a towering tree, and he just had to sit and wait for its achievements to be done.

However, when it came time to actually do it and really lay it out, I found that it was not like that at all.

From Google's financing interview, he found out. If you don't know anything about the Internet industry, even people will disdain your money.

Therefore, for the blog as an IDEA and the eb technology needed to establish a school intranet, he decided to learn from Yang Zhiyuan first, and by the way, he asked him to introduce some talents, and then go to it with great fanfare after everything is ready.

After paying attention, Wu Tao found Yang Zhiyuan's business card and made an appointment with the other party.

Although there were some surprises, Yang Zhiyuan was very straightforward, and immediately said that he would have time this afternoon.

So Wu Tao dealt with a working meal at the Tianqi Investment Branch, and rushed to First Avenue and Yahoo headquarters as promised.

In the past few days, Wu Tao has also discovered some tricks after visiting foreigner companies.

Foreigners have a particularly strong sense of time, according to the agreed point, it is not appropriate to be early, and it is even more difficult to be late.

So when he arrived at First Avenue, the time was a little early, Wu Tao didn't get out of the car, and waited in the car for a few minutes before tidying up his shirt and getting out of the car.

Compared with the shabby Palm headquarters, the architecture of Yahoo's headquarters is much more magnificent. Although the floors are also not high, they occupy a wide area, have many green spaces, and the architectural style is also full of a sense of science and technology.

Of course, the entire Yahoo headquarters has an open layout, no yards, no gates. Multiple entrances are accessible, and parking is ample on the ground level.

So the first thing he said when he saw Yang Zhiyuan, Wu Tao expressed his appreciation for Yahoo headquarters.

This compliment sounds pleasant and not offensive.

Yang Zhiyuan smiled humbly and said, "It's all because I caught up with a good era, otherwise Yahoo would not be so easy to pass the test if the market in the past two years is changed." ”

That's true.

In the two years after Yahoo was listed, it was still operating at a loss, but because of the popularity of Internet concept stocks, it rose all the way, setting off the prelude to the outbreak of the Internet industry.

Today, Yahoo's profit model has stabilized, and profitability has been exposed, which is reflected in the fact that the stock price has lost its upward momentum.

Not only that, Yang Zhiyuan is even worried that when the Internet bubble bursts, a leader like Yahoo will bear the brunt of it more than other Internet companies.

Therefore, we are considering expanding our business to China and the Asia-Pacific region to explore new profit growth points.

Otherwise, if you take the shareholders' money and don't do anything, the shareholders will definitely not agree.

After the secretary left after serving coffee, Wu Tao got straight to the point, "Mr. Yang, this time I came here, mainly to ask you for advice on some Internet technical issues." ”

Yang Zhiyuan was obviously a little surprised.

Through the contact at the last charity dinner, he thought that Wu Tao was just a young man who was optimistic about the Internet industry, and at most he had some capital in his hands.

Such capital owners usually don't care too much about specific technical matters.

I guess it's just a simple question, and maybe even a deliberate search for a topic to make friends with yourself.

With this idea, Yang Zhiyuan pushed his glasses and listened to Wu Tao without changing his face: "Most of the current portals are based on the website unilaterally releasing information to users as the main model, and the profitability is measured by the click-through rate and the size of the user base. ”

“...... This technical model leads to Internet users can only passively accept the content published by the website, and even lack interactivity, unable to give good and bad reviews. ”

“...... So I thought, if you build a kind of website, you can give the users the editing power to the content themselves. Make it easy for them to post what they care about and want to say, and even interact with other users online. With the current state of technology, is it possible?"

This question, the more Yang Zhiyuan listened, the more dignified he became.

This is not like a question asked by an Internet layman at all, not only that, but also very expert and knowledgeable.

"That's a good question. In order to buy time for himself to think, Yang Zhiyuan habitually affirmed the problem first, and then thought: "It is said that this kind of user-oriented, content-oriented Internet model is not technically difficult to achieve. ”

“...... Because the editing of website content, since ordinary programmers can do it, as long as it is slightly optimized and packaged, ordinary people should be able to do it. However, the difficulty of this form of content publishing lies in how to implement the update push and subscription mechanism of a large number of distributed web content. ”

Sure enough, as soon as the connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was one.

Regarding Yang Zhiyuan's analysis, Wu Tao couldn't agree more.

That's right, as long as you overcome the problem of pushing and subscribing to web content and link updates, then the problem of following and closing between different people on the campus website, as well as the subscription problem between blogs, will be easily solved.

Otherwise, relying on users to remember and actively browse like visiting a portal not only restricts the communication between different content publishers, but also fails to perfectly realize the social function attributes between bloggers or intranet users.

So I couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Yang, can you introduce me to some talents in this area, I want to clarify this problem." ”

Yang Zhiyuan put his right hand on the table, and his fingers tapped on the table rhythmically and said, "So, you are very optimistic about this network model where content is king?"

In this regard, Wu Tao did not hide it, and said generously: "That's right, content is king is the inevitable trend of Internet development in the future." Only by allowing more users to participate in the Internet can the content be richer and a more complex data world can be built. This, in turn, will attract more users to join, and ultimately achieve the goal of interconnection and sharing. ”

After listening to this, Yang Zhiyuan was also touched.

It's one thing to know about a technological trend, and it's another thing to take advantage of that technological trend to form a product that is popular with Internet users.

So Wu Tao was not at all worried about what would be leaked in this conversation.

Wine is less than a thousand glasses of confidants.

This exchange made Yang Zhiyuan's impression of Wu Tao to a higher level. Even with the talent recommendation request made to him, he also agreed: "Okay, I will help you pay attention to this, at most a week, and give you a result." ”

"Then thank you, Mr. Yang. After achieving his goal, Wu Tao did not stay for long.

This made Yang Zhiyuan feel a little unsatisfied, and held Wu Tao's hand and said repeatedly: "I often come to sit when I have time." ”
