Reborn multinational giant

Chapter 514 Today's Headlines

In the Chinese Internet industry after 2010, several particularly dazzling star startups were born, and ByteDance founded by Zhang Yiming is one of them.

Speaking of Bytedance, many ordinary people may not understand it, but the two star products of this company are well known and used by many people. One is the news information application Toutiao, and the other is the short video social application Douyin!

At its peak, Toutiao’s daily active users exceeded 200 million, Douyin’s total domestic and overseas users exceeded 1 billion, and daily active users exceeded 250 million. Both products ranked in terms of number of users, number of active users, and duration of use. At the forefront of all domestic and even global applications, its huge potential is evident!

For such top project products, Fang Zhe will naturally not miss it.

As early as more than a year ago, Fang Zhe had sent people to pay attention to Zhang Yiming, who was the CEO of Jiujiufang, a small real estate information classification website at the time. Such things were commonplace in Zhongying Capital’s Fu Xin tomorrow morning.

In Zhongying Capital and Huizhong Investment Department, they share a global investment industry's richest, largest, and should be the most unique outstanding talent project system. This system costs hundreds of millions of dollars and is connected to the world including Zhaolian Recruitment and LinkedIn Hundreds of talent recruitment systems around the world such as LinkedIn have collected hundreds of thousands of outstanding entrepreneurs and project information.

It is also relying on this huge system, precise project screening and control, and the ability to predict investment that has been nurtured by Fang Zhe for many years. Zhongying Capital and Huizhong Investment Department can invest thousands of outstanding projects in the world. Projects and startup companies.

Since the system went live more than a year ago, Zhang Yiming has been included in the system as the first batch of entrepreneurs. At that time, Zhang Yiming was only 27 years old, but he had already served as the CEO of the small Internet company of Jiujiufang. Prior to this, he also worked with Wang Xiaoxing, the founder of Meituan, and served as the technical partner of Wang Xiaoxing's last entrepreneurial project Fanfou.

A good person cannot stop his radiance!

Even if Zhang Yiming did not start Bytedance later, he is a well-deserved young talent. Zhongying Capital has always paid attention to such outstanding talents!

For more than a year, Zhang Yiming has gone from resigning as CEO of Jiujiufang to founding ByteDance, and now launching its first product, Toutiao, Zhang Yiming and ByteDance. Finally, in this era, he will start to stir up the Internet industry. Your own story.

"Hello, Mr. Fang, my name is Zhang Yiming, one blockbuster, one blockbuster, the founder and CEO of ByteDance!" When we first met, Zhang Yiming was a little restrained. When Fang Zhe shook hands with him, he could still feel that his palms were warm and warm. Moist.

There are two accompany persons, one is Fu Xinming, the person in charge of Zhongying Capital, and the other is the COO of Bytedance and Zhang Yiming's entrepreneurial partner.

If there is no rebirth, Zhang Yiming would belong to the young talents and top elites of Fang Zhe’s contemporaries, while Fang Zhe is just an ordinary northern drifter. The more he develops, the greater the gap between the two of them. Zhe has the same luck as the protagonist of the novel. In terms of achievements alone, Fang Zhe has become the existence that Zhang Yiming looks up to!

Although he was embarrassed in his heart, Fang Zhe had no mentality to experience such occasional small emotional fluctuations. Reality is reality. Now Zhang Yiming is nothing but an entrepreneur who Fang Zhe admires. Even if he works hard in this life, he can only look to himself!

"I heard that your product will be launched soon. Let me briefly introduce it." In front of Fang Zhe's powerful aura, he asked casually like the host here.

"Yes, Mr. Fang, the first product launched by our company is called Toutiao, which is scheduled to go online at 0:00 on September 20 this month.

Our product, based on the user’s gender, age, occupation, preferences, geographic location, reading behavior and other latitudes of data information, through our specially developed data mining recommendation engine, we will push the user interested and personalized News, music, movies, games and other information.

In the back-end system, we have established a unique user model for each user. The longer the user uses our products, the more news they are interested in. Through..."

When Zhang Yiming introduced to Fang Zhe about the product information he had not known many times, Fang Zhe’s thoughts briefly recalled the difference between Zhang Yiming and Bytedance in his past and present lives.

In the previous life, Bytedance was founded more than a month earlier than this life. Incidentally, the product of Toutiao was launched more than a month earlier than now. In addition, the Bytedance in this life did not proceed. Angel round financing, the A round of financing exclusively invested by Zhongying Capital, is the first financing of Bytedance.

Fang Zhe knew that, if not unexpected, these changes should have been caused by his own rebirth, but Fang Zhe didn't know what specific changes had happened, and he didn't bother to know.

The main reason why Toutiao is successful is that it is a successful product. The main reason for the success of ByteDance is also that its founder is called Zhang Yiming. As long as these two points remain the same, other details The change is not worth mentioning!

Two minutes later, Zhang Yiming finally briefly introduced the Toutiao product. With eager and expectant eyes, he hoped to get Fang Zhe's affirmation and comment. Fang Zhe did not rush to comment, but asked first:

"Do you know what are the three most mentioned words in the global Internet industry this year?"

Zhang Yiming and the partner beside him looked at each other and guessed: "Big data?"

Fang Zhe was not sure yet. Fu Xinming, who was sitting next to him, first praised: "Yes, you two boys, it seems that you have a keen sense of the development of the times, and you also have a strong sense of courage and action. .

In February of this year, the "New York Times" column wrote such a sentence: The era of "big data" has come. In business, economics, and other fields, decisions will increasingly be made based on data and analysis instead of experience and intuition."

Zhang Yiming and the partner beside him smiled shyly and were recognized by Fu Xinming, who was honored by entrepreneurs as a goldsmith and living bodhisattva in China's venture capital industry. They were extremely happy.

"The column of the "New York Times" can only be regarded as a signal that the word big data has entered the public eye and public opinion. From ancient times to the present, data and information have always been important references for decision-making. In the era of mobile Internet, every user has become Consumers and creators of data, the total amount of data in the world has been exploding rapidly, and the value hidden in it is far more than the sum of all Internet companies.

If you can be the first to see this and put it into action, I believe you can achieve excellent results!"
