Shen Ya'an took out two more cigarettes from the cigarette case, and compared them to the one on the table that was compared to the "flyover", they made three cigarettes and held them in his hands.

He pinched one out, mouthpiece down, and carefully stood it on the table.

Then he looked at Bian Xuedao and said: "If your Weibo wants to be truly successful, there must be three things that can stand." ”

Bian Xuedao stared at the cigarette on the table and said, "I guess the first one is technology." ”

Shen Ya'an nodded happily.

Hong Chengfu said: "I just guessed that it was operation. ”

Shen Ya'an said: "The operation is too strong, and the research and development is not emphasized, and after a long time, it is a top-heavy situation." IT enterprises must create an atmosphere of advocating technology within the enterprise, emphasizing that technology is king and technology-led, because technology is the foundation of innovation and technology is the guarantee for turning ideas into reality. ”

Then, Shen Ya'an set up a second cigarette on the table.

Seeing Shen Ya'an looking at him, he thought about it and shook his head with a smile.

Hong Chengfu was unwilling to guess wrong for the first time, and said: "The second is funds. Google can do it because of the support of Stanford University and venture capital, and Facebook can support it, and Harvard and Wall Street funds are indispensable. If there is only technology and no funds, it will die under the iron hooves of Microsoft. ”

Shen Ya'an said with a smile: "The second place in my understanding is the brand. ”

"In an industry, there will be a wave of brutal competition periodically. Competition is not a bad thing, in the competition, industry technology and management will advance as a whole, and at the same time, the brand will gradually form. Brand is very critical, not only investment banks pay attention to the brand, users and consumers also value the brand, in the subsequent competition, the profits of enterprises without brands will be lower and lower, and the last remaining companies are often branded. ”

Shen Ya'an put the last cigarette in his hand on the table and said: "Actually, with your financial resources and ability, it is not difficult to build a technical team and build a brand, the most difficult thing is the third point, which is also the second of the two strategic deficiencies I just mentioned." ”

Seeing the hungry eyes of Bian Xuedao and Hong Chengfu, Shen Ya'an continued: "Your Weibo does have a head, but it is best to design its profit model from now on, and it is the most important thing to have a feasible and innovative profit model." ”

Innovate the profit model......

Hearing Shen Ya'an say this, he looked at him with a blank eye, and said in his heart: If I had that ability, I could still hang out with you in France?

Hong Chengfu suddenly said: "Xiaobian, don't hide it, talk about the overall plan in the future, how I think and feel that your Weibo is just a carrier, a link in a chain." ”

Dry venture capital, the eyes are really poisonous!

In fact, it is not surprising that venture capital is betting on what it is, and what it is betting on is the prospect of the enterprise.

The follow-up products and projects of the enterprise are the main basis for predicting the prospects. In the eyes of connoisseurs like Hong Chengfu, there is no reason for Bian Xuedao to invest so much money just to build a lively "Vanity Fair" when the profit prospects are unclear. Then it can be speculated that Bian Xuedao must have other plans, because the probability of an entrepreneur at the level of Bian Xuedao making such a mistake is very small.

Bian Xuedao listened, put his mouth plate in the middle of the table, stretched out his finger, drew a circle on the table next to the mouth plate, and said, "Security guard." ”

Drew another circle: "Input method." ”

Another circle: "Browser." ”

Another circle: "Navigation page." ”

......" Weibo. ”

......" game. ”

......" video. ”

......" search. ”

......" payment. ”

Drawing a circle around the mouth dish, Bian Xuedao pointed his finger at the edge of the mouth dish under the gaze of Hong Chengfu and Shen Ya'an, and said: "Security guards, input methods are the first-level platforms, use them to pull the browser and navigation page." The first-level platform is free, but the browser and navigation pages can be profitable. ”

"Weibo is the second-level platform, and it is responsible for developing the silent users of the first-level platform into interactive users. When the user scale develops to a certain extent, the traffic will be directed to partner projects, and Internet-based services such as built-in game platforms, video websites, and shopping websites will be connected, as well as economic entities such as cinemas, hotels, and fast food. In the secondary platform, there are high-input and high-output projects, which are necessary, not only for profit, but also for the various products and services provided directly or by the enterprise, so as to cover all aspects of the domestic Internet and expand the territory of the enterprise. ”

After being a seeker for most of the day, Bian Xuedao finally showed his edge in front of Hong Shen and the others.

"But......" "Making money is only one of the purposes, my ultimate goal is this ......" as he spoke, he tapped the edge of the dish with his fingers, looking confident and self-satisfied.

Hong Chengfu and Shen Ya'an's appetite was hung up by Bian Xuedao, but they couldn't guess what the purpose of his big circle was for a while, but the two of them could feel that what Bian Xuedao was trying to do must be something extraordinary.

Retracting his finger, he said, "Knowledge-Discovery-in-Databases-and-Data-Mining." ”

Hong Chengfu and Shen Ya'an, one graduated from Yale and the other graduated from MIT, and they couldn't help but learn English.

Hong Chengfu said: "How many jù digs?"

Shen Ya'an said: "Count jù library knowledge discovery!"

In order to truly calm down and subdue the future right-hand man, Bian Xuedao mobilized the momentum of his whole body to his eyes, he rarely showed the essence of his eyes, looked at Hong Chengfu, looked at Shen Ya'an, and then pressed his finger on the center of the mouth disc, and said in a small but firm voice: "Dashu jù !!"

Looking at the wonderful expressions on the faces of Hong Shen and the others, Bian Xuedao did not give them time to speak, and he wanted to take this opportunity to consolidate his image as a far-sighted strategic decision-maker in the hearts of the two of them.

"The time it takes for global IP traffic to reach 1EB took one year in 2001 and seven months in 2006, and according to this calculation, it will only take one day in 2013 and half a day in 2016," Bian said. ”

"These numbers are unstructured, mutilated, and cannot be processed by traditional methods, and at the same time, they are information assets waiting to be mined, and their value is comparable to that of oil and gold. ”

Bian Xuedao poured down the three cigarettes that Shen Ya'an was standing on the table one by one, and said: "The application of large numbers will have a subversive impact on people's production process and commodity exchange process. In the future, Dashu will become an important strategic resource for various institutions and organizations, and even at the national level, and become a powerful weapon to enhance the competitiveness of institutions and companies. At a certain level, the competition between enterprises has evolved into a competition of numbers, and the factories and assembly lines that were proud of the industrial age have become servers in the information age. Whoever is one step ahead of others and attaches importance to the collection, excavation, sharing and utilization of digital resources will be the first to enter the treasure. ”

Shen Ya'an lost his temper in an extremely rare way.

He pulled out his lighter, lit a cigarette, and then suddenly remembered that smoking was not allowed in the restaurant, quickly extinguished it, raised his hand to disperse the smoke, and said, "I remember, Alvin Toffler mentioned this thing in his 1980 book The Third Wave." ”

Bian Xuedao hasn't watched "The Third Wave", which doesn't matter anymore. What he has to do at this point is to finish the sentence at his own pace: "What we have to do is ...... First grasp the huge number of information, and then professionalize these meaningful numbers, give up the desire for cause and effect, and instead focus on the interconnection between the number of information, in the process, improve the ability to process logarithms, and after processing, sell the information to those who need it. ”

Bian Xuedao leaned forward slightly, and said in a deep and bewildering voice: "Making money is only the first step, once we have mastered the technique of large numbers, we are like gods looking down on the earth above the nine heavens, because we know people's joys and sorrows, preferences, needs and secrets well, and we can be one step ahead of others in everything." ”

As he spoke, Bian Xuedao gathered the three cigarettes on the table together, he picked one up first, sandwiched it between his fingers, and then put the remaining two in front of Shen Ya'an and Hong Chengfu: "How about it? Are you two interested in playing this game together?"

It was all temptations before, but this is the official invitation.

After being silent for a while, Hong Chengfu asked, "You are so young and already have a lot of wealth, what do you want to do when you make money?"

This is a simple yet profound question.

This question fully reflects Hong Chengfu's mature and rigorous thinking logic.

Because, the technology of large numbers has gone beyond the scope of innovation and entered the field of change. The three words of large number jù are easy to say, but how difficult it is to do, and people who have never done it can never imagine.

If it is said that a herdsman who does business needs super endurance, physical strength and tenacity, then a person who does a large number of jù has several times or even dozens of times the stamina, physical strength and tenacity of other herdsmen. The reason is that the forerunners of doing business can see tangible products, and the pioneers of doing big numbers can not see anything, so they can only rely on the persistence and belief in their hearts and walk alone in the vast maze of numbers like the starry sky.

Hong Chengfu asked Bian Xuedao what he wanted to do after making money, because Hong Chengfu knew very well that after most people earn a certain amount of money, they will lose their fighting spirit, lose their direction, and lose their goals. In the same way, if Bian Xuedao has no ambitions other than making money, and has no ambition that is deeper than the sea and wider than the sky, there is a chance that this road of large numbers will return halfway.

Bian Xuedao understood what Hong Chengfu was worried about.

"Not long ago, I met with Bigelow Aerospace's Robert Bigelow and promised to invest in his space hotel project," he said. At the same time, I am also optimistic about SpaceX's space bus project. You should know that playing space is very expensive, so I have always been motivated to make money. ”

Hong Chengfu and Shen Ya'an looked at each other, and even their super brains couldn't accept the breadth of Bian Xuedao's hobbies and careers for a while. One minute he was still saying a large number of jù, and the next minute he jumped into space......

Bian Xuedao looked sideways at the street lamp outside the window, and said leisurely: "Bigelow touched me with a sentence, he said that the journey of capital is the sea of stars. I thought, if I retired on Mars, or died on Mars, it would be interesting. ”
