American Fortune Life

“After years in the hands of field owners, The Los Angeles Times is back in the hands of the locals. ”

The next morning at the breakfast table, Andy looked at the front page of The LA Times, “Who's Andy Smith?” The story, don't shake your head with laughter.

Yesterday afternoon, Xindong's video conference made the editors of the Times completely relieved and welcomed a new owner with good money. The newspaper was no longer worried about the horrible shadow of the redundancy knife. Everyone looked forward to the return of the Times to glorious days.

“What news makes you so happy?” Charlize, dressed in a silver-grey two-piece silk nightgown with a haircut, walked a little lazy into the dining room, leaned over and Andy kissed wen, then reached over to the newspaper and looked.

“Giggle...“ Charlize looked at the story, giggled and shook Andy's eyebrows at breakfast: “These guys are really good for the new boss. Oh, that's outrageous! ”

“They are merely stating the facts.” Andy had a very shameless face, and a shrugged copy said so.

“Giggle, if I remember correctly, you're from New York. When did you become a local in Los Angeles? Tsk, even your past black history has been portrayed as a precious asset in the growth of genius... This is unbearable! ”

Charlize twitched and rubbed his arm like a goose bump.

Andy looked at Cyrus' face with a slight expression of pride in his accomplishment, and smiled at her disgusting spit and said, “Did you get the new script? Is that okay?”

“Well, don't worry, although the character of the act is somewhat similar to my experience, but I've come out of the shadows, and I don't want to get involved, and I want to challenge it, maybe there will be a breakthrough.” Charlize naturally knows what Andy means, and the character she's going to play in the new script "The Plains of Burning," because she can't pull herself out of the shadow of the sins she inadvertently committed as a child, which is very similar to what happened to her childhood.

“Honestly, I don't want you to be in this movie, but Robert Fredman thinks you're the only one who wants to send this movie to the Venice Film Festival next year.” Andy's eyes were gentle, reaching out and gently touching Cypriot's reddish cheeks, he said.

“Oh, don't worry, I'm not so fragile, my heart has been filled with little Laura, there's no room to carry those gray memories! ”

“Cough, that's too much. What about me? There's gotta be a place for me! ”

“Huh. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“Oh... ”

In the bright and spacious conference room of WhatsApp, Andy sits in the first place lazily nestled in the boss's chair with his hands crossed in front of him, with some headaches watching his men who have quarreled in a pot of porridge.

Without him, Watsop, which has been running for a year for free, splitting the company's subordinates into two main camps for whether or not to charge, is now a major issue for Andy.

Now Watsop has grown into a global phenomenon. Nearly 90 million people use their services to send free text messages and photos. It can be said that no JIAO tool has ever evolved so rapidly. Facebook now has only 120 million users. And more importantly, nearly half of WhatsApp users respond to messages every day.

So, once charged, this will undoubtedly make Watsop very profitable, making it profitable for Watsop, which has been investing in the development of burning money.

But the key to the problem is still the payment method, where users can only pay through credit cards or electronic platforms, which makes it inconvenient for some people who don't own credit cards or don't accept paying via electronic platforms. Andy is a little silent about this, and Americans have always questioned the security of electronic payments, XING.

The other is that the real name login is done using the dollar fee method because the credit card login data is a real name.

Everyone loves free stuff, once charged, it will definitely cost Watsop a lot of users, and Watsop in its development phase will not look at how hot it is right now, but if it does, it will definitely cost a lot of users.

Wireless operators are the ones who hate Watsop the most, with $5 billion in text messaging revenue over the past year. These operators had previously earned money by charging for each text message.

If you don't want to make money, then how is it possible that Andy Smith, who can't afford to make money, won't let go of any chance.

However, he is equally aware that this is definitely not a good time to charge and that Watspur will continue to do so free of charge for his third-party payment platform plan.

“Looks like the Starbucks acquisition has to start! ”

After the decision, Andy coughed twice to restore quiet throughout the conference room, leaning forward and placing his fingers crossed at the conference table, looking around for a week, and saying to his men: “First of all, I reiterate that our company is under no pressure to make money at this time. I hope you will be able to reach 500 million to 1 billion users in the next three years.

As for the company's profitability, I've thought about it a long time ago, but for now, it's not the right time to take it out, because our user base is still too small, so don't be anxious to make a profit, we're still a new company, and we need to be sincere to continue promoting it. ”

As a developer and owner of Watsop, Andy Smith has made a statement that his people will naturally not be saying anything, and the charging party is hoping to give the company the means to increase the market value of Watsop in preparation for a future first round of financing.

At present, however, it does not appear that the big boss of his own is prepared to finance it.

After the meeting, Andy sat alone in the conference room with a slight frown and a pen in his hand quickly written on a piece of paper.

Public accounts, using public account platforms for self-media activities, simply carry out a pair of media behavior activities to earn revenue by helping businesses communicate with users.

This is what Andy is going to do when Watsop has enough user base to create a better user experience and create a different ecological cycle. Allow merchants to form a mainstream online and offline interactive marketing method by applying for public service numbers through secondary development display merchant websites, members, pushes, events, registration, sharing, business cards, etc. As a service provider, Watsop can charge these merchants applying for public accounts.

Of course, the most important thing is to use Watspur's online and offline combinations to promote the third-party payment platforms he's still photographing in the shadows, and when Starbucks is done, he's ready to start burning money to promote new apps!
