Indulge in Life in America

"Good afternoon, Mr. Harveystein, this is Jason." Yang Cheng followed Andrew through the sidewalk corridor to the stern of the ship. Eddie Harveystein was standing on the shore with his hands behind him, followed by a Latino who should be a secretary. The woman was very hot, but Yang Cheng couldn't appreciate it, her eyes swept across and didn't stop.

"Good afternoon, jason, just call me Eddie." Eddie wears round-frame glasses, his gray curly hair is a little messy by the sea breeze, and the suit is washed a little white and some shabby, but it doesn't affect him in the least. Literary interest.

　　 had the first impression of Eddie in his heart, frugality!

　　 Seeing that he didn't mean to introduce his secretary, Yang Cheng didn't ask much, turned sideways and invited, "Welcome to the Emerald, let's talk on board."

Eddie is casual, and he can see that although he is not good at speech, he is not pedantic. For Yang Cheng to ask him to meet on the yacht, this act of showing off wealth in many narrow-minded people seems to have no disgust. Shang is smiling from beginning to end.

　　 "She is very beautiful, I believe I will have a wonderful sea trip." Gentleman Eddie took the secretary by the hand and boarded the main deck, looking at the artistic interior furnishings and couldn't help but praise.

　　 Yang Cheng laughed and was not humble, "Thank you for the compliment, the Jade will not let you down. Let me take you to the guest room to change your clothes."

　　 turned his head and told Andrew that he could set sail at any time, and let the waitress waiting to lead Eddie and his secretary to the guest room upstairs. Eddie was the guest, and the host was the guest.

　　 And he himself went down to the wine cellar to take a bottle of Romani Conti, poured it into the decanter, and fully integrated with the air.

With a loud whistle, the Emerald slowly set sail and sailed out of the pier along the channel. When Yang Cheng felt that the Emerald was accelerating, Eddie and his secretary changed into casual and cool costumes from the main staircase. Walk down.

"Sit down with Eddie, and taste this bottle of Romani Conti. This is my father's collection for many years." This sentence is no longer worrying. Yang Sen asked Old John to participate in the auction for wine in three days. It is estimated that even Yang Sen himself I have forgotten when the batch of wine on board was taken, so Yang Cheng is not a lie.

　　 "Thank you." Yang Cheng personally poured the wine for Eddie and his secretary. Eddie was fine. The secretary raised the glass with both hands flattered.

　　 "Eddie, I specially invite you to go to sea this time. Do you know my purpose if you want to come?" Yang Cheng waited for Eddie to take a sip of wine, shook the glass, and asked straight to the subject.

Eddie was neither surprised by Yang Cheng’s directness nor answered directly. Instead, he commented on the wine, “90 years of Romani Conti, garnet red with a hint of brown, containing ripe bell peppers, spices and leather. , Gorgeous body, extremely long aftertaste, really good wine."

　　 As soon as these words came out, Yang Cheng was surprised, "Unexpectedly, Eddie is also a person who understands wine."

　　 In addition to the praise, I am still a bit puzzled. Eddie Harveystein had been the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times before he became the CEO of Forum Publishing Company. As the editor-in-chief's annual salary should not have the chance to drink Romani Conti.

You must know that Romani Conti is almost invisible on the market. It is only possible to see it in major auctions, and every time it appears, it will cause competition from billionaires, and finally earn it in the bag. It will not be a mediocre person. It does not look down on the position of the third-largest newspaper editor in the United States. On the contrary, the other party has enough capital for Yang Cheng to respect, but this is a difference in wealth and hard power. It is completely different and cannot be confused.

　　 "I was fortunate enough to taste it at Mr. Samuel before, alas... What a pity." Eddie sighed deeply with regret.

　　 Yang Cheng thought for a while before realizing that Samuel in Eddie’s words should be the former boss of Forum Publishing Company, the bankrupt real estate agent.

　　 Suddenly mentioning Samuel at this time, does it mean something? Yang Cheng didn't believe that Eddie was just talking casually. It's not a chat now. Both parties clearly understand each other's purpose. At this time, no one will just talk nonsense.

　　Samuel, real estate, bankruptcy, Yang Cheng quickly stringed these keywords in his mind, and did not waste much brain cells, so he guessed Eddie's thoughts that he wanted to express euphemistically.

　　 Yuanshan and Samuel are both engaged in real estate. Samuel has gone bankrupt, can Yuanshan prosper for a long time? Obviously he has a prejudice against real estate. After all, Samuel had just acquired Forum Publishing Company and went bankrupt in just over a year. If we use the Z dialect to describe Eddie’s mentality at the moment, it’s like'being bitten by a snake for ten years and fearing well. rope'.

Yang Cheng didn’t rush to defend. Objectively speaking, Eddie’s worries are justified. Samuel is the best lesson for you, unless you can produce sufficient evidence to prove that Yuanshan will not go bankrupt, but the problem is, this Where can Nima go to find evidence? Let alone the enterprise, won't the Great Qin Dynasty, which swept the six mergers and swallowed all the wastes in the past, also been destroyed?

　　 The world must be united for a long time and must be divided for a long time. It is an eternal principle to prosper and decline, and it is also the law of nature to survive the fittest, and God cannot resist.

The smile became a bit bitter. At this time, the glass curtain wall of the Emerald’s main deck was fully opened, and several seagulls spread their wings, slyly riding the wind generated by the acceleration of the Emerald to take a ride, and from time to time they screamed at Yang Cheng, as if called Yang Orange played with it, but he was not in the mood to experience this metaphysical state of harmony between man and nature.

　　 "Eddie, what do you think of the influence of the Internet on traditional paper media?" Yang Cheng didn't get too entangled in how to make the other party believe in Yuanshan's strength and started to find another way.

　　 At this time, Eddie stared at Yang Cheng somewhat unexpectedly, as if he didn't expect that Yang Cheng, a young man, could be so stable, and still in the mood to discuss the industrial structure with him? Didn't you understand what he meant?

　　 Yang Cheng didn't know that he had opened a new picture, but was questioned by the other party about his IQ. If he knew, would he be killed by a mouthful of salt soda?

　　 "I will call the Internet new media for the time being. In my opinion, the reason why new media can occupy an important position is completely in line with social development and people's modern psychology.

　　 People in the 21st century have become accustomed to the fast-paced life. New media has emerged to take advantage of the trend. It can spread to people as soon as the event occurs, and the commentary function can arouse people's sense of interaction.

It can be said that the new media represented by the Internet has fundamentally changed the way information is spread, wider, faster, and more abundant, occupying the commanding heights with lightning speed, and causing a devastating blow to traditional media. If we don’t want to lose it The position is eliminated, or even waiting for an opportunity to stand out. It must be changed in accordance with the times, otherwise it will only be crushed into slag. "

　　 Eddie’s loud and vocal words, in the ears of people like Andrew who don’t care about current affairs, or who don’t have so many opinions, are like divine enlightenment. It turns out that the Internet is so ‘harmful’.

But to Yang Cheng, it is no different from a soup with no oil and water. It is neither greedy nor full. It is all empty talk and meaningless. Moreover, these words have been said by experts a few years ago. What about when a child is amused?

　　 Yang Cheng really has a headache. . .

"Eddie, wait a moment, I'll get a plan." Fingers tapped on his thighs, after a moment of contemplation, Yang Cheng still decided to enlarge his move. Eddie must change his view of him as soon as possible, and face up to his acquisition. Forum Publishing Company brought positive changes.

　　 One up and down, but within a few minutes, Yang Cheng sat back across from Eddie again, except that he had an extra document composed of multiple sheets of A4 printing paper in his hand.

　　 put it on the table and pushed it over, "This is my plan for the future after the acquisition of Forum Publishing Company, please have a look."

　　 Eddie put down the wine glass and picked up the plan casually. After reading it for a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Yang Cheng deeply. When he lowered his head again, his expression became more serious.

Of course, Yang Cheng made this plan. He didn’t even bother to find a shooter for this. He said before that new profit points, which are difficult to find in others’ eyes, are easy for Yang Cheng. The "Toutiao" app is the best template. Of course, in order to adapt to the national conditions of the United States and the entire Western world, appropriate adjustments must be made, otherwise it is easy to cause dissatisfaction.

　　 In fact, the reason why Toutiao is so popular in later generations is because they let users avoid the thinking of editing ~www.readwn.com~ to face their own interests.

This is easy to understand. The traditional information reading platform is based on what the editor writes and what the user looks at. But in fact, everyone is an independent individual with different reading preferences. Before, there was no way for users to choose. The other way around, the editor writes whatever the user likes to watch. In this era where user stickiness is extremely important, the better and the worse can be known at a glance.

Especially Toutiao’s targeted advertising recommendation model, which uses content to advertise, makes people suddenly feel that watching ads can also be very interesting. For example, for brain-dead fans, put the ads on their favorite Korean Oppa. The fans of the screen can't wait to pick up the clothes of the idols. Naturally, they don't mind watching more advertisements to understand what clothes, shoes, pants, and what they usually like to eat and use.

Among them, what Yang Cheng pays most attention to is that Toutiao can make recommendations based on user characteristics, environmental characteristics, article characteristics and other data. This involves data mining, neural networks, natural language understanding, machine learning and other basic artificial intelligence. Technical support.

When you go out and ask a 60-year-old grandmother, she can tell you that the core of the next era is artificial intelligence. This is universally recognized. All companies that can compete with the artificial intelligence industry will increase their bargaining chips to compete against time for research and development. Strive to occupy a most advantageous position before the tuyere has arrived.

　　 Rebs said it well, "Standing on the vent, pigs can fly", is this wrong? On the surface, it seems reasonable and philosophical, but where is the outlet?

　　 Yang Cheng's advantage over others is that he knows where the wind is about to rise, and he can take advantage of it first. As for whether he can really fly, it depends on him.
