Rebirth starts from e-commerce

Chapter 310 New Algorithms
"I believe that the vast majority of people will use smartphones in the future, and understanding current events through mobile phones will become a great demand. I want to make a mobile app for news and information, and I want to hear your opinions."

After Luo Xiu finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and waited for their feedback.

However, no one spoke for half a minute.

This situation shows that they are not optimistic about the boss's ideas, but they dare not raise them in person.

As long as the boss's suggestion is so feasible, everyone can't wait to shout loudly that the boss is right, the boss is wise and powerful.

Don't think that programmers don't know how to flatter.

Luo Xiu had no choice but to take the initiative to roll the roll, "Yang Tianqi, please tell me."

"Boss, the APP market like this is already saturated. NetEase, Sina, Baidu and other websites have been doing these things. They originally had the foundation of the PC platform to transfer users to the APP, but we have no foundation at all."

After Yang Tianqi finished speaking, he glanced at the boss anxiously, fearing that he would be unhappy.

Other employees said silently in their hearts: Don't call me, you can't see me, I am a transparent person.

Just like a poor student who is afraid of being called out by the teacher to answer questions.

"Zhang Junjie, what do you think?"

"Well, I also think what Senior Brother Yang said makes sense. We are still weak as an information platform and have no foundation. It is difficult to compete with the giants..."

"I want to explain." Luo Xiu interrupted him, "The product I want to make is different from previous portal websites, and also different from Weibo. Currently, there are usually two methods of distributing information on the Internet:
The first is that customers actively search for keywords. For example, I am a fan of a certain star and want to know her dynamics, so I enter the name of the star in the search bar.

The biggest problem with this method is that the search results are not necessarily what I want to see. I want to see the positive news of the star, but it pushes me a bunch of cheating scandals, which is too annoying.

The second is platform editor recommendation. When I click into the entertainment section of the platform, I will see a large number of star news pushed by the platform.

The biggest problem with this method is that you can only watch what the platform gives you, and you can only eat shit if it feeds you shit.

NetEase, Sina, and Baidu, which you just exemplified, all push information to users based on the above two methods. "

Luo Xiu said a lot in one breath.

"Is there a third way?" Zhao Jianye asked.

"What I want to do is the third one. Our system can automatically match the content that the user is interested in according to the user's reading habits. For example, it will match Zhao Jianye [Shocked! Three, the first one turned out to be him!!!]; and when Li Shan opened the app, all the pictures on the homepage were full of beauties."

After hearing this, Zhao Jianye got up angrily, "This is slander, can't I like pictures of beautiful women?"

"That's almost what it means. I need you to help me develop a set of intelligent recommendation algorithms that can intelligently identify the information that users are interested in, and push this information to the user. People who follow sports news will push them the World Cup, European Cup , NBA and other star information, and those who follow celebrity gossip will recommend those paparazzi accounts to them.”

"Mr. Luo's idea is a bit interesting. It's like I often go to Hupu. It's mostly boys, and the posts I post are also biased towards boys. I scold girls for high betrothal gifts, cheating, and making trouble for no reason. They are very unfriendly to girls."

"That's right, I used to visit Douban a lot, but then it gradually became a women's forum. The content that can be kept is to cater to girls, scolding mother-in-law and scolding scumbags, which is very malicious to boys."

"Then Huang Yi has the most black areas."

"Zhihu is the place where the pretenders are concentrated."

"Why does Zhihu pretend to be aggressive? Isn't it just that the income is higher?"

"You hacked me on Douban, why can't I hack you Zhihu?"

……

A good meeting is about to start because of the platform I like.

"If our algorithm can separate the sunspots so that they don't meet each other, and everyone sees the content they like, there will be no such quarrels."

Luo Xiu said seriously: "This project will be led by me personally, and I will be your product manager."

"This...isn't necessary?"

The programmers were a little nervous when they heard that the boss was going to lead the team.

They fall in love with product managers on a daily basis, and they often get red-faced, swear, and even fight because of unreasonable demands.

If the product manager is the boss, no matter how unreasonable the demand is, they can only accept it.

The boss said that you want to get me a special effect that can fly into the sky. You can only say that you are not capable enough, but you cannot say that the boss's demand is unreasonable.

Even the slogans on the computer desktop have to be taken down.

"Do you have any opinions?" Luo Xiu asked.

"Boss, you are doing this, you are a bit inferior, aren't you?"

"That's right, just find a product manager."

"Boss, you have a lot of work to do every day, so I'm really sorry to bother you."

"Fantuan and Pinru need you more."

……

Luo Xiu waved his hand, "This project is of great importance. It can even be said to determine our life and death. There is no room for loss. I don't worry if I don't watch it personally."

"Good boss, I will draw out colleagues with strong recommendation algorithms to form a new working group."

Luo Xiu nodded and signaled Yang Tianqi to do it quickly.

It is not an exaggeration for him to say that this project is related to the life and death of the company.

In the future, Ali and Penguin are both aggressively acquiring Internet companies.

Everyone found that most of the companies acquired by Ali did not end well.

At the beginning, Tiantiandongting and Xiami Music, which were commonly used by everyone, were shut down. Tudou and Youku were merged, and then they also went downhill.Ele.me and AutoNavi are also slowly losing ground in the competition.

And Penguin's investment tends to live better and better, and they have been listed one after another.

There are many reasons for this. Perhaps Ali’s culture is too poorly applicable to be transplanted to other companies.

Perhaps Ali’s executives parachuted in the past always wanted to bring Ali’s way of doing things over, but it didn’t work at all.

However, the most fundamental reason is that Taobao itself is a traffic black hole. Most of the companies acquired by Ali will serve Taobao until the last drop of blood is absorbed by Taobao.

On the contrary, Penguin itself is a machine that generates traffic, what it lacks is how to realize these traffic.

The companies acquired by Penguin are often supported by Penguin's steady flow of traffic, and then the traffic is realized through these companies.

One sucks blood and the other feeds back.

The result, of course, is that the former is getting thinner and the latter is getting fatter.

Future Byte has traffic second only to Penguin, but what he lacks is a machine to monetize this traffic.

Therefore, on the one hand, Byte is cooperating with Ali, and on the other hand, it is also building its own mall.

The Fantuan and Pinru that Luoxiu currently owns are all machines for cashing out. If we can get the bytes out, it is equivalent to gathering the strengths of Ali and Penguin.

At that time, he will be invincible.
