The two magazines hesitated for a day when Ahn Yuxi asked "Time" and "Vanity Fair" to interview at the same time, and then communicated with Ahn Yuxi, and after learning that he was leaving the United States soon and returning to South Korea, they immediately agreed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, the identity of the person to be interviewed this time is different, not a singer, actor or sports star, but a high-tech industry upstart that is gradually growing in scale and has considerable prospects.

Of course, more importantly, "Time" and "Vanity Fair" focus on different directions, and if you conduct joint interviews with each other, you can easily extract the material of each other's questions and enrich the content of the interview.

On the afternoon of the 7th, the interview began in the conference room of the Facebook headquarters, because it was only a text record, there was no need to take a cover photo, and the reporters on both sides prepared very simple, shorthand books, voice recorders, and a press officer accompanied by Facebook, a simple interview scene was formed.

When An Yuxi walked into the conference room, two reporters were already waiting, a white woman in her 30s with glasses, and a middle-aged man in his early 40s who looked decent.

Seeing An Yuxi coming in, the female reporter got up and stretched out her hand: "Hello, Mr. An, I'm Laura Cliff from "Vanity Fair". ”

"Hello, Laura. An Yuxi nodded, and on the other side, the middle-aged man also smiled kindly: "Mr. An Yuxi, I'm Pete Strier of Time!"

"You're welcome, please sit down, the environment is a little shabby, I hope there is no grievance to the two. ”

"No......" Pete was probably more proficient in accidents, and was about to say something with a smile on his face, but Laura next to him couldn't wait to ask: "So, Mr. An, can you start?"

Pete smiled wryly at her urgency and shrugged his shoulders at An Yuxi.

"Vanity Fair" focuses on life and entertainment, they like to chase the private lives and behind-the-scenes stories of celebrities, and the style of the magazine is not so much about reporting facts as about a novel that will captivate the audience. If you want to dig out a good story, the character of the interviewer must be "pungent" enough, too sophisticated or cautious, and dare not challenge the private emotions of the interviewee, how can there be a topic?

Time is a completely different story, the magazine also pursues the unknown behind the scenes, but they pursue the truth, or clues that can be traced back to the truth, and if you use the classification of novels to explain the styles of both sides, "Vanity Fair" is probably romance and ethics, and "Time" is deduced and puzzled.

An Yuxi smiled absently, sat down at the conference table, and saw that he was ready, and Anderson, the press officer who had been waiting by the side, reminded Laura and Pete: "You two, you have one and a half hours of interview time, and we have the right not to answer sensitive questions." ”

"I understand. Peata nodded, although Laura's expression was not very willing, but she didn't really come to "pick thorns" after all, and she also agreed.

The two reporters looked at each other, probably discussed before, and the first question of the interview began with Pete.

"Mr. Ann, congratulations before we begin, Skymap has shined in Macworld, and you have been voted the most charismatic CEO after Mr. Stephen Jobs by some magazines and newspapers!"

"Thank you. There is no modest statement here in the United States, and An Yuxi accepted his congratulations with a smile.

Gently holding the voice recorder handy, Pete pulled out his shorthand notebook. After pondering for a moment with his fountain pen and considering his sentences, he said, "We all know that after Macworld, Skymap is becoming the most popular Internet product. The scope of attention is no longer limited to Facebook users, but more people are paying attention to it, not only to the product itself, but also to the context in which it was born...... When Skymap was first launched, it was reported that it appeared in a hurry, from the design project to the official launch. It took less than 2 weeks, is that true?"

In terms of interviews, the first question is usually not too difficult to answer, and An Yuxi is not the first time to be interviewed, and he is very familiar with the rhythm of this aspect, and he doesn't feel it. Pete's politeness means that the other party is easy to deal with, so although he is relaxed on the surface, his spirit is actually very focused.

Hearing this, he groaned, "You can't say it's in a hurry. ”

An Yuxi put the tip of his elbow on the arm of the chair, held the fingers of his cheek, and tapped his chin lightly, "Stephen has a saying that I like: understand the needs of consumers, not feedback, and make products simple, not complex! You know, I'm not an engineer, and those cumbersome programming languages are equivalent to a lot of difficult philosophical problems for me, even if they are put in front of me, I don't know how to start." ”

"The point of the problem is that many users are the same as me, we don't know how to program, we don't understand how a program works, we only operate in a foolish way, so how can a product become foolish?" he laughed, "It was based on this idea that I came up with an idea, and then the specific writing was handed over to the engineers at Facebook and Apple, who built the framework, and then the rest was left to the users - only they know what they need!"

Pete nodded slightly.

This has almost brought the "crowdsourcing" model into full play, but it is such an initial "nothing", extremely humble product, that has won the hearts of users, before it appeared on the stage of Macworld, it has achieved wide praise and user popularity, and then, the presentation of the iPhone made it popular half the sky.

Even better, he pulled Apple to become one of the owners of Skymap, which made Apple go to great lengths to support Skymap, even though it was actually hung under the Facebook name.

Laura immediately asked this question, and she leaned closer to An Yuxi, "Mr. Ahn, after Macworld, many people think that the reason why Jobs gave you the task of demoting Skymap is because Skymap is worth it, not how you are, right?"

The direction of the question was really different, and An Yuxi smiled: "Heh, if I answer yes, it is to deny my own charm, which is simply intolerable for a star, so I won't say 'yes'." ”

The two laughed.

In their soft laughter, An Yuxi gestured a few times, "Of course, I don't mean to say how strong my ability is, so strong that Stephen is reluctant to let me or anything like that, but ...... Well, let's put it this way! This product was originally conceived for Apple and Stephen, and through the Macworld demonstration, you all know where Skymap comes to life -- a big screen, a smooth system, a groundbreaking new way to control a mobile device! It was in this conference room that ...... at the time."
