I am a nobleman in England

"The situation, I have listened to my subordinates in London. I can only say that this is embarrassing and helpless. No one thought that there would be a creative crash..."

Arthur put down the coffee cup, his expression was somewhat indifferent, and he looked at the two founders of INS, Kevin and Krieger, who were opposite, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"However, I heard that only part of the functions overlap and there are differences between each other. This is a blessing in misfortune. My subordinates told me that the two wanted to communicate with me. To be honest, I I'm quite expecting it. After all, we can be far away from thousands of rivers and mountains, but we can generate the same inspiration and creativity. It is really amazing."

Upon hearing Arthur’s words, Kevin and Krieger looked at each other, and then shook their heads with a bitter smile. Kevin said bitterly, "This is indeed a very embarrassing thing, your Excellency Bolin, the reason why we want to meet you Communication does not mean anything else. In any case, your photo wall app is already a mature product and has been launched, and our Instagram is still under development.

To be honest, even if we complete the development of INS and successfully launch it on the market, it may be difficult to survive. After all, for two apps with most similar functions, users will preemptively choose the one that they are already familiar with and have a large number of archives. One, in the IT industry, after all, the first mover has a natural advantage."

Regarding what Kevin said, both Arthur and Krieger on the side nodded in agreement. To be honest, Arthur was not worried about the two people in front of him going back and continuing to hold back the big move and developed INS. , Put it on the market and compete with his photo wall APP.

You should know that in the past life, there was no software imitating and plagiarizing INS, however, none of them achieved great success.The main factor is the lack of novelty, which leads to audience fatigue and missed launch opportunities.

In the case that most users are accustomed to the UI of an APP, the copy mode of this software does not attract their attention.When INS goes public, after Arthur spends money to promote it, I believe that the photo wall app must have a fixed and large base of users, and a considerable community has been established. Therefore, it is better to choose the original version than to choose these new imitation software.

Moreover, in the current commercial era, homogenization competition is becoming more and more fierce. Only the best products can stand out, otherwise they will be marginalized and submerged in the smoke of price wars.Therefore, Arthur has strong confidence to crush the INS into slag, and then the water army will detain them a plagiarism hat, which is enough for them to drink a pot.

More importantly, Arthur's self-confidence also came with him adding the most terrible ability to "bring people happiness".And this happiness obviously comes from holding a smartphone to kill time.The photo wall allows users to continuously pull down to refresh the photos, and quickly enjoy the visual feast at any time.

Unlimited pull-down refresh is undoubtedly a big killer, a super killer that can make users unable to stop and forget the time.Over time, you will know that what it delivers is a compulsive experience: it leads you to scroll the page, scroll again and again, browse friends’ photos and videos, follow your favorite celebrities, and look at the shoes mentioned in the advertisement. ...

"So... Two of you, what do you want to chat with me?" Arthur raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and asked in a somewhat curious tone.

Kevin and Krieger glanced at each other. Krieger nodded slightly. Kevin's eyes became firm. He looked at Arthur on the opposite side and said with a deep groan: "Since we know, even if we continue to develop INS, It’s also difficult to compete with your company’s APP, so we hope to join your company!"

"Join?" Arthur was taken aback for a moment, with a little excitement in his heart, but his face remained calm and calm. If he can really include these two, then he can really sit back and relax.

"Yes, there are only me and Krieger in the INS studio. The development of the INS software has always been carried out by the two of us. I believe that our participation will make the photo wall APP more perfect. I have seen the photo wall For all the filter functions on the APP, I have to say that the functions and effects of our INS are more comprehensive than those of the photo wall..."

Kevin began to confidently face Arthur's self-proclaimed boast, and talked freely. Whether it was Kevin himself or Krieger, who had thought about it long before he came, he also made a decision, hoping to persuade the young English Earl to accept them. , Because they have thought about it and simulated it many times, and they couldn’t make INS beat the photo wall. The key is that behind the photo wall APP stood a billionaire who didn’t need money, and they got it through financing Half a million dollars.

The difference in strength between the two sides is too great, and there is no hope of winning at all. Therefore, joining the other side and integrating their INS into the photo wall is undoubtedly their alternative success.

Hearing Kevin’s narration and introduction, the faint smile on Arthur’s face became more and more serious. I have to say that after all, he is a plagiarism who only knows one thing and does not know the other. If you talk to the original creator, you will know , My level is really not good.

"... If I'm not wrong, does Your Excellency Bolin want to promote through celebrity effect? ​​Although the effect of celebrity effect is indeed very strong, but Kevin and I both think that the user group you want to attract should be very careful. "After Kevin finished speaking, Krieger continued.

"Because it's like a neighborhood neighborhood. Users need to feel an atmosphere in it, and then decide whether they want to stay. At first, Kevin and I thought about the plan that it is best to gather a group of designers and photographers first. , Can be invited or spontaneously. It is a very critical initial condition for those who post high-quality photos to gather on the platform, because it allows others to realize that they can be on our platform doing what."

Arthur was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled. Looking at the two great talents opposite, he became more and more happy, and said, "Let's say, what do I need to pay to earn the two?"

"One million dollars!" After Kevin and Krieger looked at each other, Kevin directly stated his request and eagerly explained: "When we set up the studio before, we got half a million dollars. For seed round financing, this part of the financing needs to be returned to investors..."

"Hehe, just as you said, I will give you another half a million dollars each. After all, you have been developing for so long. I believe that you will definitely be able to connect and complement the photo wall. It is an extra compensation for both of you!" Arthur's eyes flickered sharply, and he said joyfully in his heart.

Kevin and Krieger looked at each other, and both saw a hint of helplessness and relief in each other's eyes, and then looked at the young Lord Earl with gratitude and thanked: "Thank you, Lord Bolin."

"Hehe, everyone will be your own in the future, so don't be so polite." Arthur was really happy. Not only did his fake Li Kui not be hacked to death by the real Li Kui, but the tiger's body was shaken, and the other party would worship him if he was to accept his head Big brother, who is he to make sense to him!

Once the relationship is established, the three get along more relaxed and casual, and Arthur also jokingly told the story created by his original photo wall creativity, which once again attracted the two masters of Kevin and Krieger. Sigh.

"By the way, Kevin, what do you think of the social media in the future?" Arthur's eyes flickered, a trace of cunning flashed, and he asked informally.

When asked by the big boss of the future, Kevin frowned for a while and then said: "For the future development trend, I think it depends on which platform will prevail in the future."

"How do you say?" Arthur's eyes lit up. He really attached great importance to the views of such top talents as Kevin, just to verify it with the future in his memory.

"If the platform moves towards augmented reality or virtual reality, then the question here is, who is the most suitable for social media in this field? Or, we can assume that the platform will return to the text form in the future. Then who is the best at this?

If we have learned anything so far, it is that every media has a relevant window.I can tell you that the future I see with Krieger is interactive.

Users can attach questions or vote on the image.If we move in the direction of interaction, who has the most advantage to occupy the leading position?

Therefore, I think that we only need to be ourselves, be the best we are, and try to keep pace with the times, and keep relevant at all times. Of course, I can’t pack a vote for what will happen in the next five years, because I think the best The model is always to adapt at any time."

"I think so too." Krieger frowned and said: "Visual effects are still our core. We should limit the length of the comment text displayed below the picture, and prohibit linking to other websites or publishing news articles. In this way, advertisers will be very satisfied.

According to the data I collected before, advertisers prefer sunny image groups, which can create a flexible and pleasant environment, which is conducive to brand positioning.In this way, bright and beautiful product photos can appear smoothly on the user's mobile phone along with photos of things they love, places, and relatives and friends posted by users.

This kind of friendly visual effect, coupled with the unparalleled precise positioning of the big data team, may bring about the most powerful advertising system of our time."

Hearing the precise positioning of the big data team, Arthur couldn't help but frowned. To be honest, what he heard most in his previous life was how big data was. It seems that he really needs to start building a big data center now.

"For us, the most serious long-term threat may be that as a new generation of users go to a fresher platform, it may become less cool one day in the future. Therefore, novelty and fashion are all we need. Always pay attention to the fatal and primary issue!" Kevin's face was solemn and he suggested to Arthur very seriously.
