Chapter 753 Content Is the King of Development Trend

To do one line, one must love one line; otherwise, it is impossible to do well.

Originally, Wu Tao also thought that if he just sprinkled water on the Internet business, many buds would sprout and then grow into towering trees, and he just had to wait for their success.

However, when it was time to actually do it and make the layout, it was discovered that it was not the case at all.

From the financing interview at Google, he found out. Those who don't know anything about the Internet industry will even look down on your money.

So for the idea of ​​blogging and the web technology needed to build the school intranet, he decided to learn from Yang Zhiyuan first, and ask him to introduce some talents by the way. After everything is ready, he will start it with great fanfare.

After making up his mind, Wu Tao found out Yang Zhiyuan's business card and made an appointment with him.

Although a little surprised, Yang Zhiyuan was straightforward and immediately said that he had time this afternoon.

So Wu Tao had a working meal at Apocalypse Investment Branch, and then rushed to First Avenue, Yahoo headquarters as promised.

After visiting the foreigner's company continuously for the past few days, Wu Tao also discovered some tricks.

Foreigners have a particularly strong sense of time. According to the agreed point, it is not appropriate to go early, let alone late.

So when we arrived at the First Avenue, it was a bit early, Wu Tao didn't get out of the car, and waited for a few minutes in the car before tidying up his shirt and getting out of the car.

Compared with the shabby Palm headquarters, the building of Yahoo headquarters is much more majestic. Although the floors are also not high, it occupies a large area, with many green spaces, and the architectural style is also full of sense of technology.

Of course, the entire Yahoo headquarters is open-plan, with no courtyard and no gates. Multiple entrances allow access and there is ample parking on the ground level.

So when he saw Jerry Yang's first sentence, Wu Tao expressed his appreciation for Yahoo's headquarters.

This kind of compliment is pleasant to listen to and not offensive.

Jerry Yang said with a modest smile, "It's all because I caught up with a good time, otherwise Yahoo would not have been able to pass the test so easily given the market conditions of the past two years."

This is true.

In the two years since Yahoo went public, it was still operating at a loss. As a result, due to the popularity of Internet concept stocks, it has been rising all the way, setting off the prelude to the explosion of the Internet industry.

Today, Yahoo's profit model tends to be stable, and its profitability is fully exposed, which is reflected in the loss of rising momentum in the stock price.

Not only that, Jerry Yang even worried that when the dot-com bubble burst, a leader like Yahoo would bear the brunt more than other internet companies and would suffer disaster.

That's why it is considering expanding business to China and the Asia-Pacific region in order to explore new profit growth points.

Otherwise, the shareholders will absolutely not agree to take the shareholders' money but do nothing.

After the secretary served coffee and left, Wu Tao cut straight to the point, "Mr. Yang, I am here this time mainly to ask you for advice on some Internet technology issues."

Yang Zhiyuan was obviously a little surprised.

Through the contact with the last charity dinner, he thought that Wu Tao was just a young man who was optimistic about the Internet industry, and at most he had some capital in his hand.

Such capital owners usually don't care too much about specific technical matters.

It is estimated that these are some simple questions, and it may even be deliberately looking for topics in order to make friends with myself.

With this thought in mind, Yang Zhiyuan pushed his glasses, and listened to Wu Tao without changing his expression: "Most of the current portal websites use the website to unilaterally release information to users as the main mode, and are measured by the click-through rate and the size of the user group. Profitability."

"...This technical model causes Internet users to passively accept the content published on the website, and even lacks interactivity, making it impossible to give positive or negative comments."

"...So I was thinking, if we build a website, we can hand over the editing power of the content to the users themselves. Let them easily and conveniently publish the content they care about and want to say, and even interact with other users online. Can it be realized with the current technical conditions?”

The more Yang Zhiyuan listened to this question, the more serious he became.

This is not like a question asked by an Internet layman at all, not only that, but also very professional and knowledgeable.

"Your question is very good." In order to buy himself time to think, Yang Zhiyuan habitually affirmed the question first, and then thought about it: "It is said that this Internet model that focuses on users and content is king , it is not difficult to realize technically.”

"...Because the editing of website content, since ordinary programmers can do it, as long as the package is slightly optimized, ordinary people should be able to do it too. But the difficulty of this form of content publishing lies in how to realize the update push and update of a large number of distributed web content subscription mechanism."

Sure enough, as soon as an expert stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one.

Regarding Yang Zhiyuan's analysis, Wu Tao couldn't agree more.

That's right, as long as the problem of pushing and subscribing for web page content and link updates is overcome, the problems of following and unfollowing between different people on the campus website, as well as subscribing between blogs, will be easily solved.

Otherwise, relying solely on users to remember and browse actively like visiting a portal website, it will not only limit the communication between different content publishers, but also cannot perfectly realize the social interaction between bloggers or Xiaonei users. Functional properties.

So I couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Yang, can you recommend me some talents in this field, I want to clarify this issue."

Yang Zhiyuan put his right hand on the table, tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table and said, "So, you are very optimistic about this network model where content is king?"

Regarding this, Wu Tao did not hide it, and said openly: "Yes, content is king is an inevitable trend in the future development of the Internet. Only by allowing more users to participate in the Internet can the content be enriched and the Internet be built. Create a more complex data world. And this, in turn, will attract more users to join, and ultimately achieve the goal of interconnection and sharing.”

After hearing this, Yang Zhiyuan was also touched.

It's just that it's one thing to know a technological trend, but it's another to make use of this technological trend to form a product that is popular with Internet users.

So Wu Tao is not worried about what will be leaked in this conversation.

A thousand cups of wine is less than a bosom friend.

This exchange made Yang Zhiyuan's impression of Wu Tao even higher. Even with his request for talent recommendation, he agreed wholeheartedly: "Okay, I will help you pay attention to this aspect, and I will give you the result within a week at most."

"Then thank you, Mr. Yang." After achieving his goal, Wu Tao did not stay for long.

On the contrary, Yang Zhiyuan felt a little unsatisfied. He held Wu Tao's hand and said repeatedly: "Come and sit when you have time."
