Chapter 62: The Light of Artificial Intelligence in the Shining Age
Immediately, Yan Wenlong vetoed his idea. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info business things, you can't wait, you can't wait for all the conditions to be met before acting, then the opportunity is missed.
If you want to be a business leader, you have to deal with this problem in a commercial way. It often happens that there are no resources, and business leaders need to use their ingenuity to raise, coordinate, borrow certain resources, and overcome difficulties to get things done. As a business talent, this ability to organize resources to do great things is a core competency that must be possessed.
Judging from the information this time, the fundamentals of Trinity are okay, and the scale of assets is relatively large, but it has not yet reached the point where there is no splash of money. This opportunity is relatively rare, and through this opportunity, you may really be able to gradually control this platform and accelerate the process of wealth accumulation.
So, while risky, it's worth the risk. Yan Wenlong told himself.
Yan Wenlong asked: "Mr. Chen, this time Trinity hopes to get a capital increase of 200 million, which is not a small number, I don't know how much Mr. Chen is willing to pay to buy shares?" ”
Chen Jiheng said: "I definitely can't take out 200 million, according to the company's existing financial strength, I can pay 50 million." He held out his index finger and shook it, "But I'm sure I won't throw it all in." ”
"If you think this opportunity is interesting and you are willing to invest in it, I will believe you and take a stake in this company. In the first issue, I plan to be cautious, invest 10 million first, explore the way first, and help Liang Xinjie. ”
"Later, depending on your work in this company, your judgment, and then according to the development momentum of Trinity, I will decide whether to invest further and how much. Your performance there in the future, and how much influence and role you can have on this company, will be the main basis for my subsequent investment. ”
Yan Wenlong did not answer, but looked at the moon in the sky with a serious face, and seemed to be out of his mind.
On July 25, after Yan Wenlong completed his customer visit, he gave some guidance to his subordinates. After a busy circle, it was only before 11 o'clock that I felt the Starbucks café near the company.
On the way, Yan Wenlong turned on his mobile phone, clicked on the "Taste All" APP, and after he used it for a while, he went to an application market to score. Of course, he gave his product a perfect score without surprise.
In the application market, Yan Wenlong found that in just three months, the number of downloads exceeded 100 million, becoming the third most popular APP.
This is only the data of this application market, in fact, in the large and small application markets across the country, the number of downloads has already exceeded 500 million, although it cannot be regarded as the most popular APP in history, but it is indeed the fastest APP to break through 500 million downloads, and the results are not amazing.
Yan Wenlong opened a background management APP to check the statistics. In terms of active users, there are more than 80 million active users on average every day, performing various operations on the APP. The average number of times each person opens it every day is 7, and this data also ranks in the top 10 among many apps. Most importantly, more than 20 million new food reviews are generated every day, and 4 million high-quality reviews are considered valuable after being processed by the system.
With the increase of these high-quality reviews, the reviews of merchants on the Taste App are richer and more comprehensive. At the same time, the company has imported business information from 23 key cities across the country through the Internet, and people in each provincial capital can search for local restaurants that best suit their tastes.
In the past three months, Naco has upgraded the taste many times, making its user experience better and better, and has been highly praised by many media.
"Computers and Humans", one of the three major computer media, praised it as "the light of artificial intelligence in the shining era". The traditional media "Weekly Economy" praised the taste as "full of strong humanistic care, and it is an APP with temperature." ”
Similarly, in the first half of the major media awards and selections, the taste of the APP won a number of awards, was shortlisted for 44 lists, won 18 awards, and was rated as "the only seven-star information product" by a media. ”
For these honors, Yan Wenlong is no longer surprised, he believes that with Nako's strength and the scientific and technological level that has been ahead of the earthlings for many years, it is natural to create such an epoch-making work. What he cares about is to taste the real performance in the customer and the market.
According to data provided by a market research institute, in terms of the market share of catering review apps, it has gained a market share of 64% after only three months of launch, beating the traditional leader "delicious APP" for many years.
Under the impact of the latter, the market occupancy rate has been declining and has come to a position of 22%. Because of this declining data, the company's share price in the capital market also fell by 36%, losing a market value of 20 billion yuan, which is not a heavy loss.
Yan Wenlong felt very relieved. This kind of money-oriented company should suffer a little, otherwise it will not reflect on itself. Allowing such companies to dominate the market for a long time is not only misleading to the public, but also worsens the current business climate.
Yan Wenlong finished scoring in the application market, clicked on some high-quality customer messages with high rankings, and read them.
"Taste the app is the best app I've ever used, and its recommendations are so accurate that they speak to my heart. It really understands me! ”
"I hope to enter other fields, open up book reviews and film review functions, and establish a ...... for reading and watching"
"The most important thing is to enter the field of e-commerce, now I am very scared to buy things, there are too many water armies, and I am always fooled. Seek to try and launch real reliable product reviews! ”
"Compare and taste it, and see what the delicious APP has done over the years, the objectivity of the product is getting worse and worse, and it can't be used. Let so many sailors ignore it, and let the brush run rampant. This APP also takes search results and recommendations as the main product, and sells its own good position to merchants, which is really undisciplined! ”
There is a post that is particularly interesting, which reads: "Ask the great god and hackers to analyze and taste the algorithm of the APP, I heard that it is based on AI technology, who can crack it, please tell me, willing to give 10 million cash!" ”
The post was followed by multiple expressions with folded hands, as well as a bunch of glittering gold expressions.
Yan Wenlong smiled, thinking to himself, if you can crack it so easily, why do humans still need a technology tree, even if you understand some things, or even understand them, you may not be able to use them yourself.
He opened the email again, scanning through the emails addressed to "Nako's Studio". In addition to the previous email subject lines that asked for purchases, investments, and advertisements, there are three more types of subject lines in recent emails. The first is an application for interviews and reports, the second is a job application to work at Nako's studio, and the third is a request for exclusive channel authorization.
Yan Wenlong clicked on one of the emails, which was from the second-largest app market on the market.
In the email, the other party provided a contract, and they hoped to obtain the exclusive right to taste the future version of the app for a price of 5 million. It is hoped that the app will be removed from other app markets, and automatic updates will also be carried out through this market.
Although Yan Wenlong has a good impression of this application market and is satisfied with their support, he doesn't want to commercialize it so soon.
In his heart, this product should further occupy the lives of customers, provide more functions, and not sell itself now in order to monetize. So, after a brief thought, he replied to the email on his mobile phone and politely declined the email.
Yan Wenlong put away his mobile phone, came to a table, and asked a little fat man who was already sitting in front of him, "You are Xie Hong, right?" ”
The little fat man looked younger, no more than 25 years old, and wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. When he heard Yan Wenlong's words, he immediately stood up and said, "Yes, I'm Xie Hong. You're Mr. Yan, right? ”
Yan Wenlong stretched out his hand, shook hands with Xie Hong, motioned for the other party to sit down, sat down himself, and said, "Well, it's me." ”
He continued: "I don't have much time, so I can only ask you to interview outside, we don't have money in Nako's studio, and we don't have a regular office space now. That's why I asked you to meet at the café. ”
Yan Wenlong asked Xie Hong to come over, mainly to conduct a recruitment interview. As more and more functions of the APP are tasted and the amount of data is increasing, many operational problems have begun to emerge, and some controversial places need to be handled manually, and it is difficult to maintain the functions of the APP itself.
"The staff we are recruiting this time is mainly for operations, and there are two main tasks. The first is to extract the public data on the network, incorporate it into the taste, and organize and clean the irregular data and problematic data. This was originally done automatically, but now as the app handles more and more requests, this function is operated by a separate background program, and you will focus on this aspect of the work. ”
Xie Hong nodded: "No problem, I have been a database administrator since I was in college, and I have been doing this work for three years after graduation, I have done no less than five hundred data imports, and I also have experience in data cleaning." I believe I can do it. ”
Yan Wenlong snorted: "I saw that your resume mentioned that you used to be responsible for data processing in a large telecommunications company, and you have handled the maintenance and update of 60 million pieces of data, as well as some experience in data analysis. The experience of dealing with tens of millions of data is the main reason why I asked you to come for an interview. ”
"The second task is more complicated. You will also be responsible for customer service, handling customer complaints, merchant complaints, handling server exceptions, balancing computing power, maintaining databases on a regular basis, and testing and releasing new versions. ”
Xie Hong responded: "I have experience in server management and version testing and release, and I have dabbled in some major platforms. As for customer service, it is true that I am inexperienced, but I will work hard to learn and explore, maintain the image of this APP, and ensure healthy and stable operation. ”
Yan Wenlong praised this little fat man in his heart, Xie Hong said that if he could, he would tell himself about his talents in all aspects, and if he wouldn't, he would confess, and said that he would learn, which made him recognize it very much.
"I see that your conditions are good, and your salary requirements are reasonable. But why did you give up a position at a big company and run to join a start-up that doesn't have any formal employees yet? ”
