After rebirth, I want to destroy my original family

Chapter 422 Tonight’s headlines

After the Tonight Toutiao website opened for registration, the internal beta test of the app came out not long after.

In just one month, its registration volume exceeded 1.

Some people watch it while eating and before going to bed. The time spent pooping has doubled. There are also endless incidents of people queuing up at the dormitory door to curse.

The most interesting thing is that some teachers in the school are also watching, and sometimes they even forget to go to class until they are awakened by something and they rush over.

"Damn, this stuff is addictive."

"Up above, really up above."

"I don't think the stuff here is news at all, but it's really interesting."

In fact, in the PC era, there are already many giants in the news field, such as NetEase News, Tencent News, Ifeng...

However, the content of these news websites is almost all published with the same caliber, and most of the people who write news are from a professional background. They still insist on the principle that news content must be objective and factual, and there is no subjective color in the text. .

But the positioning of Toutiao Tonight is different.

Most of Tonight Toutiao’s content creators are part-time college students from major universities and are very sensitive to pop culture.

They will choose the news they are interested in online, combine their own thinking and understanding, and create secondary content on the content. The content produced will be interesting, diverse, and with novel perspectives.

For example, Tencent News published a story about an actress attending a red carpet, describing what she wore and what posture she posed. However, the news changed on the headlines tonight. The actress rarely appeared and her figure was no longer what it used to be.

What news must be objective? It's all fucking subjective to me.

How could it be possible to be so weak, laugh to death, and make a macho man cry? It perfectly explains what prejudice and arrogance are.

However, compared with mainstream news portals, it is more attractive, more thoughtful and valuable for comment.

The first feeling many people have when opening Tonight's Toutiao is that the multi-faceted world suddenly unfolds before their eyes...

In addition to the hot news that has been created twice, most of the content in Tonight’s headlines comes from old news.

For example, xx's life, xx's legendary experience, how much do you know about the unpopular history, tips for keeping healthy before going to bed, and three things you must not do.

A middle-aged male teacher saw that no one was around for four times, so he secretly opened "The Three Secret Recipes for Improving Sexual Performance," but no one knew about it? ” news page, there was also a single college student who casually wrote an informative article on “How to quickly gain favorability of the opposite sex in QQ chat”.

"Did you use Tonight's Toutiao?"

"Use it. It's the one advertised on Douyin. I read hexagrams on it every day. It's super interesting."

"I was scrolling through the news until midnight yesterday and followed several accounts."

Hearing the discussion, Geng Lei couldn't help turning his head and looked at Yu Shuangshuang: Shuangshuang, are you making headlines recently? "

Yu Shuangshuang nodded: "I'm brushing. Sometimes I don't remember what I brushed, but the time passes right away."

"I am also using it, and I feel that my horizons have broadened a lot. This is an epoch-making work. Compared with Toutiao Tonight, some Internet products are really rubbish."

"What's so rubbish?"

Geng Lei clapped his fingers: "Some web games and pirated websites are all rubbish, and Douyin is not very good either."

Xie Xiaoying stared at the sound: "What are you talking about? Why is Douyin so rubbish?"

"A group of college students post posts all day long to find a partner, or pass gossip from various departments to each other. The atmosphere in the school has become exaggerated, and they don't even look like 1:8. Isn't it rubbish? I never use TikTok."

When trendy things develop to a stage and are recognized by the public, there will indeed be some pretentious guys who do the opposite, thinking that others are not using me, so I am very noble and elegant.

Geng Lei feels like this now. Everyone uses Zhihu to chat, but I am the only one who is different from others, which shows that I am not ordinary.

After hearing this, Lu Huimin couldn't help but say: "What's the difference between using Douyin to read the 8 hexagrams in school and using Tonight Toutiao to read the 8 hexagrams in the entertainment industry?"

"That's not the same. At least the eight hexagrams article in tonight's headlines has something to say, and the thinking is very deep. Many of the opinions are well-founded!"

"Isn't it because you hate Gu Ming?"

Geng Lei acted very frankly: "I'm not that superficial, I'm just discussing the matter. Don't you think the developers of these two products are not at the same level in terms of ideological level? What do you think of Guangfa?"

Zhang Guangfa turned his head when he heard the sound and looked at him: "Whatever, don't take me with you."

"But to be fair, Douyin is much better than pirated websites. I'm not saying it is useless, it's just that it has no value, and it can't be compared with Toutiao."

The teacher kept talking in class, Geng Lei was pressing Lai Lai from behind, and the three girls who were listening became agitated.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly ran towards the door, attracting everyone's attention. Although this girl was not from the School of Finance, most people knew her because she was Gu Ming's secretary, Wen Jinrui.

Wen Jinrui knocked on the door: "Hello, teacher, excuse me, I am Gu Ming's secretary. Is our boss here?"

"Gu Ming?"

The professor pushed up his reading glasses and looked around: "Your boss is not here, but Zhou Xiaoyao is."

Wen Jinrui spoke again: "Then can I waste a moment and have a word with our landlady?"

"Okay, go ahead."

Wen Jinrui immediately ran into the classroom and placed a folder with Tonight's Toutiao recruitment report in front of Zhou Xiaoyao. The large red and white logo on the cover looked very dazzling.

"Boss Boss, I'm here to deliver documents to my boss. He said he would come to the classroom later, but I seem to be early. Can you hand it over to me? I have to go to the headquarters later."

Zhou Xiaoyao looked up at her: "Jin Rui, you are a good person."

Wen Jinrui was a little flattered: "Huh? Thank you... thank you boss lady for the compliment."

Seeing this scene, Xie Xiaoying couldn't help but smile brightly: "Oh, it turns out that such a deep and high-end product also belongs to my male idol."

Geng Lei was silent for a while and then said: "Then I won't say it is bad. Tonight's headlines are indeed good."

Zhang Guangfa turned his head when he heard the sound and glanced at Geng Lei. Damn it, Gu Ming didn't learn his entrepreneurial skills, but you learned three points about his bad mouth.

Geng Lei turned his head at this time, his expression a little solemn: "I find that I don't understand myself more and more..."

"You are possessed."

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Guangfa lowered his voice: "It's okay if you were not convinced before. He has 1.8 million now. Why are you not convinced? Because of your big face?"

Geng Lei frowned: "I just want Yu Shuangshuang to notice me."

"Then don't care about Gu Ming's existence, just use the advantages you have."

"What are my strengths?"

"You...you have a pretty good hair style."

While the two were chatting, a figure suddenly walked into the classroom quietly, with light hands and feet, and was worse than a thief.

People around were still marveling that Gu Ming was the headline tonight, but when they saw this figure, they couldn't hold back. Is this the fucking big boss with 1.8 million?

At this moment, the old professor turned around after writing on the blackboard and saw Gu Ming sneaking halfway there.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward as the two looked at each other.

"I'm sorry, Professor, I'm late."

"It's okay, it's only 4 minutes late. There are still 5 minutes left. Sit down."

Gu Mingxin said that you should have told me earlier, so I would have walked in swaggering, and then he sat next to Zhou Xiaoyao.

Li Minghe couldn't help but pat him from behind: "Did you develop Toutiao Tonight? Aren't you a group player?"

"A random pen, a little bit of clumsiness, a joke."

Master Li took a deep breath and thought to himself, you are really good at showing off. I watched it all night long yesterday and couldn't stop at all. As a result, when I came to you, I was a bit clumsy. He pressed the ballpoint pen and made a clicking sound. Then he took out his notebook and wrote down this sentence.

In fact, Gu Ming is not pretending to be cool. Currently, group building is the top priority of his entire business layout. Toutiao Tonight is indeed not his main business.

At the very least, it is not the focus of development at this stage.

But now that he has started, Gu Ming still hopes to get it done quickly.

At this time, Zhou Xiaoyao took out the document sent by Wen Jinrui and handed it to Gu Ming: "It was sent by Jinrui."

"Is recruitment over?"

Gu Ming reached for the folder, opened it and looked at it. The content management department had hired about ten people, and the review team had hired about 1 people.

In addition, Kou Jing also identified several algorithm engineer candidates through the recruitment website, and the information sheets were also among them.

After Tonight Toutiao enters the self-media stage in the later stage, the content volume will increase infinitely, and it is troublesome to manually find the content of interest, so precise push is the main development direction in the later stage.

This thing involves algorithms, so Gu Ming asked Kou Jing to look for some candidates.

Of course, in addition to Tonight Toutiao’s need for algorithm engineers, the later stage of group-building to unify the market also requires the blessing of algorithms to achieve precise promotions.

For example, recommendations for good products and careful selection for group shopping require precise data to be pushed to users who may be interested in purchasing, so the formation of an algorithm team is essential.

This is the second step of the company's development strategy, called the talent plan.

The current mobile Internet has just started, and everyone is competing for the market, so talents are relatively easy to obtain.

Kou Jing had previously interviewed these engineers through Liepin Company on the phone and asked about their salary requirements, which were all marked on their files.

Gu Ming turned his head, snatched the ballpoint pen that Li Minghe clicked, and marked each file. The principle was that he was not afraid of spending money.

He returned the pen and glanced at Li Minghe.

If he revealed how much money he had raised, Master Li would probably not be able to sleep for a month.
