American Fortune Life

September 10, 2007.

In the morning, in the Presidential Suite of the Four Seasons Hotel, Andy wore a pair of shorts and a **** T-shirt out of the bathroom. He just washed out after sweating from the fitness room and was refreshed.

Yesterday afternoon when I arrived in San Francisco, I kept holding two meetings with my two companies. He was very satisfied with the development of his own IT company. In the world today, only Internet unicorn companies can quickly accumulate wealth. This is Modeled by various successful precedents, this is why Silicon Valley in the Bay Area will attract worldwide attention, and every entrepreneur with an ideal will plunge into Silicon Valley.

Pushing open the bedroom door, Andy looked at the little assistant who was still sleeping there under the blanket, and sighed sighingly, it was getting lazier, okay, she was very comfortable last night Cool, she is now becoming more focused on how to serve him.

Bent over and picked up a pair of black rompers from the wound and the carpet, a set of Air France uniforms that she did n’t know where she got from. Last night when I saw her wearing a tight black dress that appeared in front of herself With a red bow belt, a black trench coat and silk wa, it is really amazing.

At the beginning, Andy was still a little crying, but she didn't feel like playing role-playing or aviation services. She always sent super vip services to her clothes. Ahem, okay, it ’s really a high-quality enjoyment, but also for small children. The assistant's intimate feeling was extremely comforting.

Last night I was playing Hi Phi, but now it's over eight o'clock in the morning, this Tori seems to want to sleep lazily again, without taking care of her, pick up the laptop and a black leather from the table on the side Book out of the bedroom.

In a while, he will go to the latest establishment, the new company that has not yet begun operation to make an appearance, and hand over the source code of the instagram photo wall he has written to the new company's EO Noah Grass.

This Noah Grass was a member of the original Twitter founding group of four. He participated in the programming of Twitter throughout the process, but because of the division of labor at that time, the other three people devoted their energy and time to the development and promotion of Twitter. In particular, he was responsible for the company's previous technical services. When the Twitter trio decided to leave the original company to start Twitter, it was natural to exclude Noah Grass.

It is also tantamount to betrayal. When the headhunting company targeted according to Andy's requirements, Noah naturally became the primary target. Contact, persuasion, and promise, everything was very smooth.

Andy's Instagram photo wall has changed from the simple, fast, wonderful and interesting way of past lives. The pictures captured at any time are shared with each other. The decision to join the social platform, plus the content of the push text, is generally a little closer. On Facebook, but text can be sent via SMS just like Twitter.

Although this is a social application running on the mobile terminal, because of the social platform, it naturally competes with Facebook. Of course, the instagram photo wall will pose a threat to Facebook. Don't think about it, but he knows what the status of mobile social applications will be in the future, and naturally he will not let go of this field.

In the restaurant, Andy looked at the e-mail on the laptop while eating breakfast, heard footsteps, looked up wearing a night dress, her fair complexion was rosy, and she was lazy. Tori came in.

"You're not afraid that Christina is either of them." Andy watched her look like she just woke up, and ran into the restaurant with a bit of messy hair, and uttered a little speechlessly.

"Just know that, they dare not talk in a nutshell. The confidentiality agreement of the contract they signed has many special terms, and they will not make fun of their careers." Little assistants are no longer a simple workplace at the beginning. The newcomer went to the refrigerator and opened the door. He took out a bottle of lemonade from the inside, unscrewed it and took a sip. After putting it aside, he took out the boxed corn flakes and fresh beef nai.

"You still have to pay attention, no one can always keep secrets, even if there are restrictions." Andy warned with a serious expression.

"Oh, I see." The assistant looked at the serious expression of the Devil, and couldn't help but hurriedly agreed.

"Well, just know. I said, there's so much here, what kind of corn flakes do you eat?"

The little assistant vomited her tongue and said, "I like to eat. Okay, I'll wash first ..."

After speaking, he quickly left the restaurant, Andy looked at her back and shook her head.

"Kaka Kaka"

There was a sound of chewing corn flakes in the ear, Andy closed the newspaper in his hand, raised his head and glanced at the spoon to send the corn flakes soaked in beef to the imported tori. Walked outside the restaurant.

"You go buy an evening gown during the day and attend a dinner with me at night ..."

Hearing the words of the devil, Tori could not help smiling with a crescent, and crescent-shaped, while eating breakfast, his thoughts did not know where to fly.

"100% free custom-designed filters and borders, such as ...

Real-time sharing to your own social platforms, Facebook and other social platforms,

Interact with friends by receiving and sending likes and comments;

Full support for the cameras of various mobile phones.

You can send a 140-character text message to a social platform via SMS. That's right, it's the same mode as Twitter's push message, but our instagram is a mobile software application.

Although our social platform is open, I think users will prefer the micro-community formed by instagram. After all, this application will automatically retrieve users in the phone book who also use this application to choose to establish a link. "

The curtains were closed tightly, and in the dim and spacious conference room, Andy held a small remote control in his hand and changed the slides, explaining in detail to the new company programmers who filled the conference room the general idea of ​​the Instagram photo wall.

Although Andy wrote the source code of instagram, he is very clear that the source code is only to allow him to control the copyright tightly. It is really many n streets away from the finished software, especially To add Twitter.

Of course, in order to own the patent copyright, he shamelessly described the push message function as an auxiliary function. The main body is still composed of a photo wall and a micro-community. In this way, there is no need to worry about the company being scrambled by a team of programmers. Passive disadvantage in patent copyright.

Noah Grass is an excellent manager and a genius software development engineer. When he heard the words of the new boss, he couldn't help but look at the people sitting in the conference room. He couldn't help feeling as if he wanted to complete the new boss. For this application software, this developer of the new company is still not enough.

The establishment of a social platform and the development of software applications require the formation of a separate team to implement the plan separately, and can be compatible at the same time, and finally achieve a perfect fit, so that this variant version of instagram will finally take shape.

After Andy introduced the entire software application, turned off the projector, opened the curtains, and restored the meeting room to a bright environment, as the new company's EO Noah asked, "Boss, this is a very talented Creativity is more advantageous than monotonous text push, but I have a question for you. "

"Excuse me."

"Platform strategy is the way Internet companies have grown in recent years, but the platform has its own way of playing, not to say that an open and one platform can achieve good results. How to make a profit? I have been involved in the development of Twitter, One problem that has not been solved from the beginning is the means of profit. "

Andy smiled calmly, looked around for a week, and saw that everyone had focused on him, because he had signed a confidentiality agreement before, and he was not afraid to say it.

"Certification of Instagram celebrity account; sale of corporate numbers operated with the popularity of instagram; printing of user photos on instagram, even making calendars and stickers; designing more and more personalized digital photo frames for online sales, etc. These are all Profit means, of course, targeted advertising based on big data analysis will be the most important means of profit. "

Andy's words fell, and everyone in the conference room was amazed and confused, especially Noah, who was shocked and sighed with admiration: "This may be my most correct career choice. With this idea and reliable means of profit, our financing will become very easy! "

Andy can only report it with a smile. In fact, he knows better than anyone. Except for targeted advertisements and corporate numbers, the rest of the profit methods are petty tricks, earning service fees, hard money, but in the end It is a means of making money. No matter how small the mosquito meat is, it is meat.

Except for game companies and app software application malls, these two companies will not seek venture capital. The remaining Internet companies will raise funds when they reach a certain level. This is the best way to expand rapidly unless he is crazy. He will choose to burn with his own money. He also knows that many people have been waiting for him to relax and open up the financing of external financing. Not only is he waiting in silence, many times, he attended a reception dinner, some bankers, Regal and investment bank will actively communicate with him, hoping to get financing opportunities.

External financing not only has more money for these companies to burn, but more importantly, benefit sharing. As Andy's understanding of American politics and economic superstructure deepens, he becomes more and more aware that it has always existed in American society. A benefit distribution system can only be helped if it follows the rules of the game, otherwise it is exclusion and suppression.
