American Fortune Life

10 September 2007.

In the morning, in the Presidential Suite of Four Seasons Hotel, Andy walked out of the bathroom wearing a pair of shorts and a tight white T-shirt, just after sweating out of the gym and cleaning up, refreshed and refreshed.

Yesterday afternoon when I arrived in San Francisco, I went to my two companies to hold two meetings. He was very happy with the development of his IT company. In today's world, only the Internet unicorn company can accumulate wealth quickly. This is exemplified by various success precedents, which is why Silicon Valley in the Bay Area will be the world's focus, and every ideal entrepreneur will be stuck in Silicon Valley.

Pushing through the bedroom door, Andy looked at the little assistant who was still there with the blanket on her head, sighing in relief. She was getting lazy. Well, she was still very comfortable being served last night, and she was now putting more JING on how to serve him.

Bent over and picked up a pair of black jeans wa from the tail and carpet, an empty jie uniform from Air France that she didn't know where she'd come from, and when she saw herself last night, she was wearing a tight black dress with a big red bow belt and a black trench coat with silk wa, which was truly stunning.

At first Andy had a little bit of a tear to laugh at, but she had a meddling role play, aeronautical service, which had always been undressed to give super vip service, cough, well, it was really a high quality of enjoyment, and she was incredibly happy with the compassion of the assistant.

Last night was pretty high skinned, but it's already over 8: 00 in the morning, and this Tory seems to be trying to sleep lazily again, leaving her alone, picking up his laptop from the table beside him and a black leather book out of the bedroom.

He's going to have to go to the newest company, where he hasn't started yet, to show up, and give the source code to Noah Glass, CEO of the new company, for the Instagram photo wall he wrote over that time.

This Noah Glass was one of the original Twitter Founding Four and was involved in Twitter programming throughout, but because of the division of labor at the time, the other three put their energy and time into developing and promoting Twitter, leaving him in charge of the company's previous technical services, naturally excluding Noah Glass when the Twitter Three decided to leave the company where they were working to start Twitter.

It's no different than betrayal, and when the head hunter targets Andy, Noah naturally becomes the primary target, reaching out, persuading, promising, and everything goes so smoothly.

Andy's Instagram Photo Wall has changed the quick, wonderful, and fun way in which photos were captured at any given time and decided to join social platforms, along with push text content, which is generally a little closer to Facebook, but text can be sent via text like Twitter.

Although this is a social app that runs on mobile, because of the social platform, it naturally competes with Facebook. Of course, the Instagram photo wall is going to pose a threat to Facebook. Forget about it for a while, but he knows what the future social app on mobile will look like, and naturally he won't let go of this field.

In the dining room, Andy looked at the email on his laptop, ate breakfast, heard footsteps, looked up at Tory in his nightdress, his beautiful white face red, and walked in with a lazy mei.

“You're not afraid of Christina either.” Andy looked at her as if she'd just woken up, and her hair was a little messy and she ran into the restaurant, a little speechless in the gutter.

“Just so they know, they don't dare to say that there are special clauses in the confidentiality agreements they sign, and they don't joke about their careers.” Little assistant is no longer a simple work newcomer at the beginning, walks to the front of the refrigerator and opens the door, takes a bottle of lemonade out of it, unwraps it for a sip, puts it aside, and takes the boxed nachos and fresh cow nai out of it.

“You still have to be aware that no one can always keep a secret, even with restraints.” Andy's expression was a serious warning.

“Oh, I see.” The assistant saw the serious look on the face of the Great Demon King and couldn't help but say yes.

“Well, just know. I said, there's so much to eat here. What nachos do you eat? ”

The assistant threw up his tongue and said, "I like to eat. Okay, I'll go wash up first... ”

When he finished, he left the restaurant, and Andy looked behind her and shook his head.

“Click, click, click...”

Chewing the cornflakes in his ears, Andy closed the newspaper in his hand and looked up at the cornflakes being spooned into the imported Tory, standing up and walking out of the restaurant with the newspaper.

“You go shopping for a tuxedo during the day and come to dinner with me at night... ”

Hearing the Great Demon King, Tory couldn't help but laugh, squinting into the moon teeth, eating breakfast while thinking about where he was going.

“100% Free Custom Designed Filters and Borders, e.g....

Fully supports cameras for a variety of phones.

SMS texts of 140 words can be sent to social platforms, just like tweeting messages, but our Instagram is a mobile software app.

Although our social platforms are open, I think users will prefer the microcommunity that Instagram creates, after all, this app automatically retrieves users who use this app in their phonebooks and chooses to create links. ”

The curtains were closed, and in a dark, spacious conference room, Andy had a little remote control in his hand, and he was changing slides, giving the new company programmers in the conference room a detailed overview of the Instagram photo wall.

Andy wrote down Instagram's source code, but he knew very well that the source code was just to keep his own copyright under control, and that it was really more than N Street away from the finished software, especially with the Twitter feature.

Of course, in order for the patent copyright to belong to him personally, he shamelessly described the function of push messages as an accessory function, and the subject was still made up of photo walls and microcommunities, so that there was no need to worry about passive downside of the company's patent copyright because a team of programmers had been dug.

Noaglas is a good manager and a talented software development engineer. Hearing the words of the new boss, he was forced to look at the people sitting in the conference room. He felt as if he was going to complete the new boss. At present, the developers of the new company are not enough for this application.

Both the creation of social platforms and the development of software applications require the formation of a team to implement the plan separately, while simultaneously achieving compatibility and ultimately a perfect fit before this variant version of Instagram can finally be shaped.

When Andy finishes introducing the entire software application, turns off the projector, opens the curtains, and restores the conference room to a bright environment, Noah, CEO of the new company, asks: "Boss, this is a very genius idea, which has advantages over monotonous text pushing, but I have a question. ”

“Excuse me. ”

“The platform strategy has been a big deal for Internet companies over the years, but the way the platform plays has its own doorway, not to say that once it is open and one platform, it can achieve good results. How do you make money? I've been involved in Twitter development, and one of the problems that I haven't been able to solve since the beginning is profitability. ”

Andy smiled and looked around for a week and saw that everyone was focusing on him because he had signed a confidentiality agreement and he wasn't afraid to say it.

“Verification of Instagram celebrity accounts; selling Instagram popular business numbers; printing photos of users on Instagram, even making calendars and stickers; designing more personalized digital photo frames for sale online, etc., are all profitable means, of course, ad targeting based on data analysis will be the main way to make money. ”

Andy's words went down, and the crowd in the conference room looked stunned and stunned, especially Noah, who smiled bitterly after shock: “Perhaps this is my most correct career choice. With this idea, and a reliable means of making money, our financing will be very easy! ”

Andy can only smile. In fact, he knows better than anyone that, apart from targeted advertising and corporate numbers, the rest of the profits are all small-time noise, service fees, hard money, but in the end, it's a means of making money. Mosquito meat is meat even smaller.

Apart from the gaming company, the two companies in the app software application store will not seek venture capital investment, the remaining Internet companies will make external financing at a certain level, which is the best way to expand rapidly, unless he goes mad and chooses to burn with his own money, he also knows that many people have been waiting for him to loosen his mouth and open the mouth of external financing, not just waiting silently, many times to attend a wine party dinner, some bankers, rich people, investment banks will actively communicate with him, hoping to get access to financing opportunities.

External financing is not just about having more money to burn these companies, but more importantly about benefit-sharing. As Andy deepens his understanding of American politics and economic superstructure, the more he becomes aware of a system of benefit-sharing that has always existed in American society, and can only be helped if the rules of the game are followed, otherwise it is exclusion and repression.
