Start with hooves

Chapter 87
It was different from the last time we fought in the air, with a wave of enthusiasm.

If you want to run a Youtube video account, you need to spend a little more thought.

Seeing that the number of followers on the account continued to rise with the click of the mouse to refresh, Su Rui was quite satisfied.

As a Facebook boss, he can attract enough attention. Compared with other video bloggers, he is obviously at the starting line, with twice the result with half the effort.

Miss Daddario came at this time, and said in a depressed tone:

"I competed with your cat for the TV, and failed again. Just after tuning the channel, it rolled on the carpet and stared at me angrily. I really couldn't bear to bully it. It's a cat, why would it like to watch it? F1 car?"

Su Rui sat at the desk, hesitated to speak, and only replied:
"Maybe it's because it wants to learn to drift... You'd better not provoke it. If you offend Daju, you can only apologize to the snacks."

Daddario put his arms around his neck from behind and said with a smile:
"It just occurred to me that Facebook is very rich, right? Why not buy a video site like Youtube? It's very interesting, and it's very popular recently. It's not long since it was founded, and it seems to be very valuable."

"The valuation exceeds one billion US dollars. Youtube is indeed a great company. But what Facebook needs most at the moment is to convert the huge number of users into cash income, rather than continue to expand the number of users. Youtube is not suitable for Facebook. , will only take up the company's cash flow."

With his head resting on the soft spot, Su Rui suddenly felt that the merchant should invent such a headrest. If factors such as social death, parental mixed doubles, etc. were not considered, it would probably become a hit.

With a hint of self-promotion, he told:

"Facebook currently mainly relies on third-party companies to make money, that is, to help Youtube to advertise and attract traffic, to help other companies to promote, etc., by analyzing the advertiser group, to achieve precise placement, and to collect fees from it."

"To tell you the truth, I found out this profit direction, and told Zuckerberg, so that the company can quickly meet the listing requirements of Nasdaq. Now that we are a platform, we cannot easily acquire other subsidiaries. Avoid arousing dissatisfaction from the funders who place advertisements. For example, when Facebook acquires a game company by itself, it will become a competitor of other game companies. How can they send money to Facebook..."

At the beginning, Su Rui promoted the listing as soon as possible, mainly to avoid the dilution of the equity in his hand with the C round of financing and the D round of financing.

If he really goes through a whole set of financing process, absorbs a large amount of funds from venture capital institutions, continuously dilutes his equity, and then goes public on the NASDAQ stock exchange, he is likely to be kicked out of the company, and in the end he can only hold 1% of the shares. or even less.

That's why Su Rui at that time tried every means to increase Facebook's own profits.

This can try to get rid of the dependence on external financing. In addition, through the listing and public offering, the funds raised can basically barely maintain the operation of Facebook.

A few years ago, Su Rui, who only spent millions of dollars, is still the fourth largest shareholder of this company. It can only be said that for the sake of profit, he has really helped Facebook a lot. The wealth code of traffic realization has saved Facebook a lot of detours.

After listening, Daddario stuck out his tongue and licked Suri's ear, and told:

"You know a lot. You can not only do business, sing, but also be a producer. You mentioned giving me a role before. Is there any inspiration? Maybe I can help you think together. In order to become an excellent actor, I Watched a lot of movies and TV shows."

Su Rui patted her hand and said with a smile:

"Good job. It's your career advantage to say that watching TV is laziness as study. I promise you that I will definitely give you the role. Don't worry that I will change my mind. Now I can only say that I want to make some attractive stories. , After a few days when the screenwriters are in place one after another, you will naturally know that I have to think about it again."

Daddario thought he meant considering the direction of the subject matter, but in fact Suri was only obsessed with which one should be filmed first, to attract traffic and try the water.

American TV dramas are used to filming and broadcasting at the same time, and scripts are also written at the same time.

If you are scolded by the audience, or if a certain character is not popular, you can immediately find a way to make up for it, so you don't have to stud directly and put all your chips on the gambling table at once.

There is no need to spend too long on all the scripts like making a movie, which means that the preparation period is greatly shortened. If you are a little busy and faster, maybe in two months, you will be able to see the pilot episode in January next year.

It's like accurately finding the monetization channel of Facebook.

Most of the American dramas that Su Rui has access to are high-quality ones that have gone through many difficulties and finally stand out.

Although he can't remember many details, he still has some impressions of the main plot, such as "The Walking Dead", which made him very tangled and worried about scaring off some potential members.

Doomsday survival scripts are actually easier than murder detectives and daily comedies. As long as you don’t miss the Virgin, it’s easy to shoot eye-catching effects, and it’s easy to be sought after by young people.

In addition, there are "Breaking Bad", "House of Cards", "Narcos", etc., all of which have the opportunity to achieve the effect of opening the king.

Su Rui was not too worried about the quality of the drama, but was afraid that the current network environment would not be able to support a sufficient number of users.

People have just developed the habit of watching short videos on the Internet, and the first choice for watching movies is still TV and theaters.

Therefore, it is very important to test the waters of dramas, and use good dramas to quietly change people's habits.

……

Old cowboy Andy called again.

Tell Su Rui that they were at sea five minutes ago and fired a total of six artillery shells for artificial rainfall.

Ask if it is raining on the island, if not, change the location and shoot another six rounds.

The purchase price of each cannonball is [-] US dollars, which means that the cost of a round of rainfall is less than [-] US dollars, which is only a drop in the bucket compared with the input of grass.

Su Rui's window faced the sea, and nothing unusual was seen.

When I went out and took the stairs, I came to the roof of the hotel, only to find that the sky in the north had changed, which gave people a sense of oppression.

Before he knew it, he had gotten used to the sunshine and heat in Hawaii. Today, the light was dark and the weather was only about [-] degrees Celsius, which made Suri a little uncomfortable.

The fuzzy area in the distance looks like it's raining, but it hasn't rained on this side of the Lanai.

The ancients could only pray to God for rain through sacrifices, but now a few cannonballs can solve the problem. Sure enough, technology has changed life.

Waiting patiently on the roof of the hotel for more than ten minutes, the white waves on the beach became more and more obvious, and the wind and waves were a bit big. Seeing that the rainfall area was getting closer to the island, it soon covered Lanai Island.

A shower of raindrops fell, and there seemed to be some mung bean-sized hailstones in it.

Leave a sentence "Damn!"

Suri immediately ran back to the stairwell.

Don't worry about the cars, they are all parked in the parking spaces with awnings, and the photovoltaic power plant, which cost a lot of money, is what worries him the most.

Stretch out your arm and try again, and found that the small hailstone hit it, the force was not too strong, and it melted away after being drenched by the rain.I vaguely remember looking at the information when I purchased it. Those photovoltaic power generation panels have a layer of tempered glass on the surface, so it shouldn’t be too much for them.

Anyway, things are already like this, I can't blame others for the rain I caused, and now I can only hope that there will be no losses.

Stand and watch for a while.

Not only did the rain not stop, but it was getting heavier and heavier. It was pouring heavily, and soon there was water on the roof.

Su Rui was speechless, cursing a few words of MMP in his heart, drought to death, waterlogging to death, if the rain had come half a month earlier, his pasture would not have been gnawed by groundhogs...
