I am a nobleman in England

The finishing touches left by Kevin and Krieger’s studios were cleaned up, and after signing the contract with these two great talents, Arthur stayed in Silicon Valley for the next time and started to build a photo wall company in Silicon Valley. Branch.

To be honest, Arthur would like to completely move the photo wall studio directly to Silicon Valley, where both the talents and the entrepreneurial environment are unmatched in the UK.

However, the European market cannot be thrown away either. Didn't you see that Facebook opened a branch in Europe?

Send people to rent office buildings in Silicon Valley, recruit employees, purchase equipment, move into new companies, and improve various departments.

Although this is a waste in the eyes of Kevin and Krieger, the two CEOs and CTOs who think that they do not need too many people at all, in Arthur's view, Kevin and Krieger may be technically very good. , But in terms of the operation pattern, it is not enough.

The grass-roots team of a few people simply couldn't cope with the development speed of the photo wall APP in less than two weeks. The downloads exceeded 1.5 million and the number of registered users for publishing photos reached one million and one million.

In Arthur's view, although a sparrow is small, it must have all its internal organs in order to survive, grow and fly high!

"...According to our random selection of nine thousand two hundred white users since the release of the photo wall app and 110,000 photos uploaded by them for analysis, we found many interesting patterns."

In the brand-new and bright meeting room, all the employees of the Silicon Valley branch headed by Arthur focused on the smiling face of the head of the data analysis company RJMetrics.

The other party picked up a small remote control, waited until all the curtains were drawn, opened the PPT, and began to explain to Arthur Bolin, a high-quality customer and his men, that their company used the real-time API provided by the photo wall company. The central limit theorem provides a detailed analysis of the user growth of the photo wall APP.

"In the past twelve days, 130,000 registered users have been added every day, and 1.1 million users have uploaded 3.6 million new photos. However, 37% of users have never uploaded photos. , Only five percent of the uploaded photos exceed fifty.

Sixty-five percent of users did not follow anyone, and the number of users who followed more than 10 people accounted for only 12% of the total. Of the users who uploaded photos, 45% would be the next day. Upload another one. The proportion of these people still uploading photos a week later is 25%, which is more active than Twitter!

From the perspective of the growth trend of users, except in the first three days due to the celebrity effect and the sharp increase in the number of media reports, it has been in a relatively stable growth process.This can be seen more intuitively from the graph of cumulative increase in the number of users. The slope of the cumulative increase basically remains at a relatively stable level, with an average of 150,000 new users per week.According to this trend, one million users can be added every two months.

In contrast, user engagement is in an accelerating process.The cumulative number of uploaded photos has continued to increase, and the average number of uploaded photos in the past week was 2.6 million.It shows that user participation is still high after using the photo wall.However, it is a little surprising that many users have not uploaded photos after registering for the photo wall..."

Speaking of this, according to the person in charge of the analysis company RJMetrics, he pressed the remote control in his hand, changed a data map, looked at the map and talked, just like saying: "From the above picture, we can see that there are up to 3% Fifteen users have never uploaded a photo. The percentage of uploading less than three photos is as high as 65%. The percentage of heavy users who upload more than 50 photos is only 5%. But even these upload photos Among the users, the proportion is declining as the registration time goes by.

From the point of view of sampled users, the proportion of users still uploading photos in the last week is 35%, showing a downward trend.However, even with this 35 percent ratio, for the current 1.5 million users of PhotoWall, it still means that more than 400,000 users are uploading photos.In free online services, inactive users are common because many users just follow their friends’ updates.

However, at this point, we can also find that many users of the photo wall follow very few people...

You can see from this picture that 13% of users do not follow anyone, while more than half of users only follow 1 person, and this 1 person who is followed is often automatically added "Photo Wall Team" account.This means that up to 65 percent of users have not added any friends.Friends with more than 10 people account for only 15% of the total number of users...

...However, although 1317% of users have never uploaded photos, it can be seen from these data graphs that the cycle interval for uploading photos among users who have uploaded photos is continuously shortening.Eighty percent of people upload a second photo after uploading the first photo, and the average upload time between two photos is 13 hours.These trends show that the participation of core users is increasing."

"Thank you for bringing us such detailed and important data analysis."

After the presentation of the PPT, the curtains opened, Arthur stood up with a satisfied smile and shook hands with the other person and thanked him. To be honest, because he is used to the data analysis of Angela's advisory group, Arthur values ​​the data very much. After all, the data will not deceive. .

"This is what our company should do. As long as you are satisfied, then we won't bother you..."

Next came the internal meeting of the photo wall company. The other party was naturally not present, and Arthur did not have a courteous stay. Instead, he smiled and shook hands with the other party and asked them to send them out.

"Okay, now only our own people are left. Let's continue..." Arthur smiled and sat on the boss chair. After looking around for a week, he continued with a smile: "The results of the data analysis, everyone has heard. We must continue to increase the intensity of publicity and guide our registered users to use our APP.

At this point, the marketing department needs to cooperate well with the public relations company. My money has already been spent. So, let me feel that my money is worth the money, understand!"

"Understood, boss." The director of the marketing department hurriedly responded.

"Kevin, the company will be handed over to you next, and I will return to Los Angeles tomorrow, and the work in London will be handed over to you." Arthur smiled and turned his eyes to CEO Kevin.

"Don't worry, boss." Kevin smiled confidently. To be honest, he really did not expect that Arthur would trust him so much and really give him the management power of the two companies in London and Silicon Valley. The agent in charge of Edward Yee completed all the handover work without complaint, which really surprised him.

However, later Arthur smiled and told him that it was because the game company managed by Edward was almost a money printing machine, earning tens of millions of dollars every day. How could he think that it was still in the period of developing money burning? Photo wall company.

Arthur nodded with satisfaction, smiled and looked around again for a week, then he converged his smile and said in a serious tone: "I need to reiterate our company’s core principles, simplicity (simplicity), optimizeforminimaloperationalburden (optimize to minimize the burden of operation and maintenance). ), instrumenteverything (monitor everything)!"

"Understand!" Everyone nodded in response. Although it was not very neat, Arthur was already very satisfied, and the core principles he said were summed up from the development planning report given to him by Kevin.

"Remember, don't reinvent the wheel. For example, if someone wants to develop a system monitoring daemon, it is completely unnecessary. HAProxy is fully capable of this task.

Also, the technical team must maintain an open atmosphere and actively contribute to the open source world, pay attention to optimization, and find ways to double the speed of the system.Stay agile, use the fewest components, the cleanest solution, and of course don’t over-optimize, unless you know in advance how your system will expand. The philosophy of our photowall company is that even when it comes to technology, it must be streamlined to the extreme."

"Papa papa..."

As Arthur felt like a father who was about to travel, chattering out all the precautions he could think of, the subordinates in the meeting room clapped warmly.

Although the Silicon Valley photowall company is newly established and most of its employees are newly recruited, after more than a week of thinking about it, everyone knows what kind of company they have joined and the potential of the product is huge.

Although the boss is very young, very wealthy and status, and does not know any IT technology, but he is not domineering, but very approachable. Although technically, everyone can crush his young boss, but strategically, As well as the direction of future development, everyone really admires it.

"Kevin, Krieger, I'll leave it to you here. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of it in a short time. There is a commercial acquisition, and I need to deal with it personally."

At the end of the meeting, in the office, Arthur said to Kevin and Krieger again.

"Don't worry, boss, we won't let you down." Kevin said with a serious face.

"Hehe, I believe in the abilities of the two of you. To be honest, this time is really busy. I really want to rest for a few days. Taylor calls all day to ask me when I will be back in Los Angeles, hehe." Arthur joked with a chuckle.

"Hehe, in fact, I really have to thank Miss Swift, she has brought us a large number of registered users, and constantly created topics to help us promote. Boss, thanks to Miss Swift, I can only teach you things. Up..."

"Haha..."

Hearing Krieger's words, the three of them couldn't help laughing. Arthur's eyes shone brightly. Yes, it is indeed time to go back to Los Angeles to thank his little country queen.
