Chapter 509 UC Boss
Chapter 509 UC Boss
The next morning, Gu Ming woke up from the guest room of Master Li's house, had a simple breakfast, and then asked the master if he had any entertainment arrangements.
Lu Zhichuan's scheduled meal time was in the evening, so he had most of the day's free time.
The young master said that I understand, just leave it to me, and then took Gu Ming all the way to an Internet cafe on the other side of the city.
It is said that the screen is large, the operation is smooth and there is no lag.
"Do you know how many investors wanted to make an appointment to meet with me, but I didn't even go to see me, and ended up... coming here with you, a bitch, to surf the Internet?"
"This will make it easier for you to report that you and Li Minghe came to the Internet cafe and were watching Yan Shuangying. There were no girls around."
After hearing this, Gu Ming suddenly stopped raising his objections and turned to look at Wang Yan Shuangying on the screen, betting that there were no bullets in other people's guns.
But in fact, it is not that there are no girls in Internet cafes, there are still quite a lot of bad girls.
For example, in the arms of the yellow-haired brother opposite Gu Ming, there was a person sitting carelessly, with a tattoo on his calf, and the scenery under the short skirt could be seen without walking.
When the Internet era developed, many people on the Internet were laughing at Huang Maoge, who was born in the urban-rural fringe area and wore tight pants and beanie shoes, calling them rustic.
But Brother Huang Mao's happiness is really unimaginable to serious people.
They only need to buy a will-o'-the-wisp, tilt their head, and change to a different girl every day.
Sometimes one will-o'-the-wisp can carry two, black stockings and short skirts, all kinds of things.
"Oh my God, I started chewing."
"Hey, this young man..."
Gu Ming watched with interest. After a while, he turned on his cell phone and asked when Zhou Xiaoyao would be back.
In the afternoon, the sun began to set toward the west, and the burning clouds melted the scattered clouds in the sky. Gu Ming and Li Minghe left the Internet cafe and came to a hotel located on the bank of the West Lake.
The antique facade, white walls, gray tiles, and hanging eaves look quite impressive.
The host, Lu Zhichuan, had been waiting outside the door early. When he saw Gu Ming coming, he immediately stepped forward to shake hands.
"Mr. Gu, long time no see."
"Long time no see. Let me introduce you. This is Master Li, a Hangzhou chaebol who is passionate about charity."
Lu Zhichuan showed a surprised expression and stepped forward to shake hands: "Hello, Master Li."
Li Minghe's mouth was so happy that he always dressed like this when he went out, so he immediately showed off his young master style, and when he entered the hotel, he even played the music of the King of Gamblers entering the hotel.
Afterwards, the three of them entered the box together.
In addition to Lu Zhichuan, there was another person eating together this time.
He was wearing a dark blue suit with a white shirt underneath. He looked young, about 1 years old.
"Mr. Gu, let me introduce to you. This is He Xiaopeng, the president of our UC Mobile Business Group."
"Mr. He, it's our first time meeting you."
He Xiaopeng stood up and shook hands: "I've heard of you for a long time, Mr. Gu."
Master Li also stood up, shook hands with both hands, and then placed his exploded chest on the table.
This meal is actually a normal banquet, without much commercial meaning.
Lu Zhichuan actually knew in his heart that Alibaba had no chance to invest in the group.
However, He Xiaopeng's arrival was specially arranged by him, because Lu Zhichuan hoped that he could have contact with Gu Ming and get to know this person.
Part of the reason for the reversal of the group buying situation was that no one knew anything about Gu Ming. Especially in the early days, there was a certain degree of contempt and underestimation.
Lu Zhichuan currently invests in 3 projects for Alibaba.
Lashou.com, uc browser and Wandoujia application market.
At present, Lashou.com is on the verge of death, while UC is still very popular, having just earned over 1 million in advertising revenue some time ago.
But Gu Ming's headline tonight suddenly squeezed into this track, casting a shadow deep in Lu Zhichuan's heart, as if he was chased by a dog while walking at night.
He Xiaopeng also looked at Gu Ming at this time.
Shenma Search was launched a week ago, and the number of users continues to surge, reaching an unprecedented height.
It’s just that some time ago, the indiscriminate bombardment of Double Eleven advertisements made the evaluation in the app market not very good.
But this is the need for development. Businessmen can never really do things for the audience. The main purpose is to make money.
The service provided by uc is itself free, and there is nothing wrong with some advertising. The change in the commercial model will indeed bring about a certain degree of decline in experience, which is normal.
As for Toutiao Tonight, due to the infringement incident, promotion has been stopped. There are no big moves at the moment, but it has been delayed.
This shows that they didn't want to deal with it properly at all.
Delay is a method commonly used in business, delaying payment, delaying wages...
But procrastination is not necessarily a good thing, especially since Toutiao Tonight involves infringement. The longer you procrastinate, the more it will create a shameless negative perception.
He believes that Mr. Gu's ambition is not in the information platform, and his investment should not be large. Otherwise, it is impossible for him to not even have a news department and editorial department.
"What did Mr. Gu do when he came to Hangzhou this time?"
"It's nothing serious, just having a good time with Master Li."
Lu Zhichuan glanced at Gu Ming and said to himself that Mr. Gu didn't even go to the foot-washing city. Dian Dian'er went to the roadside to buy 1-color ice cream. He didn't believe that this person would go to live and drink.
Master Li didn't feel guilty at all, and he poured out all the scenes of fun and debauchery he had seen in the TV series.
Lu Zhichuan 1 was quite happy to listen to it at first, but the more he listened, the more familiar it became. Finally, the smile gradually stiffened on his face, and he thought to himself, wasn't this the scene from the TV series I watched with my wife 1 last night?
He Xiaopeng also started chatting with Gu Ming at this time: "Has Mr. Gu used our UC?"
"Used it, uc can be said to be an epoch-making product. The transition from PC Internet to mobile Internet cannot actually follow the previous thinking. Mr. He's idea of focusing on user experience is very clever."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your compliment. To be honest, I have also used Toutiao Tonight for a while, and the content in it is quite exciting. I wonder what direction Mr. Gu wants to develop?"
Gu Ming pursed his lips and said, "Actually, I don't know myself. Tonight's headlines are just a casual comment."
After hearing this, He Xiaopeng frowned: "A random stroke of fancy?"
"The founding team of Pintuan has a person with a journalism background. He has always wanted to enter the field of news information, so I gave him a chance."
"Oh, it turns out that tonight's headlines were not Mr. Gu's idea."
Gu Ming nodded: "I'm a group purchaser. I'm in the business of buying and selling. I don't know anything about this high-end industry."
After hearing this, He Xiaopeng picked up his wine glass and made a salute gesture towards Gu Ming.
The other party's statement coincided with his previous feeling. The product of Tonight Toutiao was really easy to implement.
But soon, Gu Ming spoke again: "Although it is just a casual stroke, we still plan to make headlines tonight."
"is it?"
"Mr. He should have known before that there were rumors about the broken capital chain of the group. This made me understand the importance of public opinion. Without Tonight Toutiao, we might not even have a platform to speak out, and we would have to let others Slaughtered."
Gu Ming picked up the wine glass: "So I want to learn from Mr. He. How should we do this track?"
After hearing this, He Xiaopeng sighed: "Actually, those who are not involved in this field really can't do well. I would like to advise Mr. Gu not to continue."
“If you put it this way, Tonight’s Toutiao really has no future?”
"It can be said that a platform without rigor will not go far in this field. Mr. Gu may not have noticed that some of the articles in Toutiao Tonight are even contradictory to each other."
He Xiaopeng couldn't help but smile when he said this: "I used Toutiao Tonight for a while. There was an article saying that unpeeled apples cause cancer, and another article said that unpeeled apples are more nutritious. This kind of contradiction is really It’s hard to create a sense of trust.”
Gu Ming raised his head and leaned on the back of the chair: "That's... what a pity."
"Mr. Gu's achievements in the group buying market are already beyond our reach, but people always have areas in which they are not good at."
"What if I let people who like to peel apples see that eating unpeeled apples causes cancer, and let people who don't like peeling apples only see that unpeeling is more nutritious..."
"What did Mr. Gu just say?"
Gu Ming's last sentence was spoken in a slightly soft voice, and it sounded a bit like a tongue twister, so He Xiaopeng couldn't hear it clearly.
Upon hearing the inquiry, Gu Ming waved his hand, sighed three times, and drank all the wine in the glass.
After a while, the meal ended and the four of them waved goodbye.
Lu Zhichuan's mind was confused, as if he had heard someone explain the entire story of "The Heirs of the Jinfen Family": "That man is definitely a fake young master, and the watches on his hands are all fake!"
He Xiaopeng walked forward with a cigarette in his mouth and a slight smile on his face.
"Mr. He, how do you feel about Gu Ming?"
"He is very sincere, and he will answer whatever you ask. He is exactly what a college student should be like. You all called him a bitch before, which is really biased and arrogant."
"?"
As he spoke, He Xiaopeng waved to stop a taxi, then said goodbye to Lu Zhichuan and left, returning home.
He has a habit before going to bed of opening his mailbox and checking all his emails.
One of the emails was a comparison of competing applications compiled this month.
He Xiaopeng opened it and took a look. The first part is an analysis chart of uc's user growth, daily activity and promotion effects of each channel.
In the entire line chart, during Taobao’s Double 1 period, their data fell as a whole, but after Shenma Search went online, the rate of new additions increased rapidly.
He Xiaopeng continued to turn the pages, intending to look at the data of Mobile Phone and Tencent, but was stunned for a moment after opening it.
This time, the analysis report following UC is not a news report, but a headline tonight.
The company's employees have a fixed pattern for making ppts and will not change the order at will. On the one hand, it is easy to do and it is also convenient for leaders to review.
He Xiaopeng continued to scroll down, glanced at the user growth of Toutiao tonight, and his eyes widened instantly.
"Is this the fucking wrong drawing? Why is it a vertical line?!"
