Chapter 726 Software Butler (5000-Word Chapter)

Pingchuan Airport.

Just as he got off the plane, Li Dong suddenly stopped.

Turning to look at the LED advertising screen at the airport, there was a huge line of text written on it, "What are you waiting for, come and steal the food!"

Looking around, not only on the display screen, but also in every place where advertisements can be advertised, there are advertisements for distant farms.

Pacing out from the airport, Li Dong found that he hadn't come back for five days, and Pingchuan seemed to have changed.

Every LED display on the street is full of Yang Si's figure.

The entire place where Pingchuan can advertise seems to be dominated by Yuanfang Farm.

After walking for a while, Tan Yong had already followed him in a car at some point. Li Dong didn't look at those display screens anymore, and got in the car and said, "Go to the company!"

...

Faraway Building.

Li Dong entered the door and went straight to the mall.

In no hurry to go to Shen Qian's office, Li Dong turned a corner and went to Liu Hong's office.

Knocking on the door and entering, Liu Hong was sitting in front of the computer observing something.

He casually raised his head and glanced at the person who came, seeing that it was Li Dong, Liu Hong was startled, and hurriedly got up and said, "Mr. Li, you are back."

Li Dong nodded. Seeing that he was a little nervous, he waved his hands and said, "Sit down first. I just saw the farm advertisement put on the market. Let's ask about the situation."

Hearing Li Dong mention this, Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief: "The advertisement has already been released, but the scope of advertisement is currently limited to Jiangbei. The national advertisement will be launched in the middle of the month, and currently our main focus is on outdoor advertisements." Compared with traditional media advertising, we will focus on online advertising in the second half of the month.

After all, farming is an Internet game, and these talents are our main audience. "

Li Dong nodded and said: "The plan is not bad. Of course, don't limit the farm to only the Internet audience. This is a casual social game for all people, not just for those office white-collar workers. In the future, grandpa and aunt will play our farm game. It feels normal too.”

Liu Hong laughed dryly, not embarrassed to refute.

But after thinking about it, Liu Hong still said: "Thanks to Mr. Li for mentioning this point,

I ignored the word social before, social interaction is the mainstream of the farm. When the farm was first developed, we were all playing single player, and we didn't think it was much fun.

But after you mentioned me, don't tell me, the people in the technical team are a little addicted now.

Especially stealing food, everyone is very interested..."

Up to now, Liu Hong's confidence in the farm has gradually grown.

When he first developed this game, he actually didn't have much confidence. He even developed it. He tried it for a few days and felt that the future was uncertain.

It wasn't until later, when the stand-alone mode was changed to the social interaction mode, that Liu Hong gradually realized the fun and selling points of it.

After several internal tests, colleagues in the mall said it was quite interesting, and at this time Liu Hong finally gained confidence.

Of course, confidence is confidence, but Liu Hong is always a little apprehensive, feeling that he may not be able to meet Li Dong's expectations.

Now that Li Dong said that it is not only for the white-collar workers, but also for the whole people, Liu Hong really doesn't have the guts to give a guarantee.

Seeing that he was a little nervous, Li Dong frowned slightly and said, "It's a good thing to be humble, but don't be too self-effacing! If you don't even have confidence as a developer, do other people still have confidence? Whether the goal can be achieved or not, at least Can't lose in momentum!

What's wrong with bragging? Bragging is not against the law, even if you dare not brag about it, what innovations are there! "

Li Dong's words were reprimanded, and Liu Hong's face suddenly turned pale.

Li Dong glanced at him a few times, slightly disappointed.

Liu Hongshou is not bad, but his pioneering spirit is seriously lacking.

Of course, if this were not the case, they would not have given up their own business and joined Yuanfang.

The reason why I chose to join Yuanfang is because Yuanfang is stable enough, not as precarious as starting a business, and even eating is a problem.

Not everyone has this enterprising and pioneering spirit, or everyone would be Ma Yun.

Disappointment was disappointment, Li Dong didn't reprimand again, changing a person's character is not something that can be done with a few words of encouragement.

Since Liu Hong's personality is suitable for Shoucheng, let him be responsible for this aspect in the future.

Except that Weibo is still being developed in his hands, and Li Dong doesn't plan to let him develop other projects in the future. This guy is more suitable for working in a disciplined manner.

After briefly explaining a few words, Li Dongdao: "Is Wang Junyu there?"

"Yes, Mr. Li, do you want to see him?"

"Well, let him come over."

"Okay, I'll go find him."

Liu Hong left the words behind and hurried out of the office.

Seeing his flustered appearance, Li Dong sighed lightly. After a few words of reprimand, Liu Hong probably couldn't sit still, and was a little out of control.

Does he, a director of the technical department, still need to find an employee in person?

Leaving Li Dong alone in the office, from this point of view, this guy is still a typical technical talent, and his management skills are far from perfect.

After thinking wildly for a while, Liu Hong brought the bewildered Wang Junyu into the office.

Seeing Li Dong here, Wang Junyu breathed a sigh of relief, just now the boss dragged him to the office, he thought something was wrong.

Although he knew Li Dong, and even Li Dong personally poached him, Wang Junyu did not dare to take it seriously, and greeted: "Mr. Li."

"Well, sit down and talk."

Li Dong replied, and when Wang Junyu sat down, Li Dong briefly asked about his work situation.

It has been a few months since I came to Yuanfang. Because of the importance of Shen Qian and Li Dong, Wang Junyu is different from other interns. He has participated in many major events shortly after he arrived.

Wang Junyu participated in the expansion plan of the mall, the online cooperation plan with other retail companies, and the anniversary celebration activities, including the farm god creation plan.

Compared with before, Wang Junyu is much more mature now.

After chatting for a few words, Li Dong finally said, "Do you know about app distribution?"

Wang Junyu scratched his head with a slightly puzzled look on his face.

Liu Hong next to him thought for a while and asked, "I've never heard of application distribution, but I know about content distribution. Are the two the same concept?"

Li Dong said with a smile: "I don't know exactly what application distribution is. I just heard someone say it, and it's quite interesting. Let me briefly explain my understanding to you."

"At present, there are many game entertainment platforms in the domestic market, similar to the 91 Game Fashion Platform. You are all in this business. You should know more about the functions of these platforms than I do.

I don't need to explain in detail, the application distribution I'm talking about is a product similar to this platform.

But literally you can hear that application distribution is not just a single game distribution platform, but a complex of all application software.

To put it more vividly, I am talking about a software housekeeper.

Gather all application software in one platform, a platform that integrates software download, update, uninstall, and optimization, do you understand now? "

"understood!"

Neither of them is an idiot. When Li Dong said this, the two immediately understood.

In 2007, although there was no such application distribution platform on the market, there were similar products.

It's just because it's not doing very well, and the promotion is not in place, so it's less known.

Li Dong put it simply, and the two of them could immediately imagine the function of this kind of platform, and even the general outline of what it looked like.

Seeing that they understood, Li Dong was slightly relieved.

To be honest, he actually has a vague understanding of these things, and he only knows a few professional terms.

It would be embarrassing if the two of them couldn't understand.

Now that he understood, Li Dong didn't explain anymore, and continued: "This time I came to you because I want you to create an application platform that integrates all software. What do you think?"

Wang Junyu and Liu Hong looked at each other, what kind of platform is this?

It feels feasible, but Yuanfang doesn't seem to be of much use in making this thing now.

Liu Hong doubted that Li Dong understood, but Wang Junyu was not excited, and Li Dong was a little depressed.

Didn't this guy make the pea pods?

It stands to reason that you guys should be excited when I mention this.

But in the end, this guy was like a stunned young man, and he didn't respond at all.

Well, Li Dong knows that this guy is indeed a stunned young man now, and besides, Pea Pod was only created in the future. It is not surprising that Wang Junyu does not have this concept now, after all, not everyone is a reborn.

After a while, Liu Hongcai hesitated and said: "Mr. Li, it is not difficult to build this kind of platform. The main thing is promotion and channels. After all, there are so many application software in the market. If we launch this kind of platform, we must one by one. Obtaining the other party's authorization is too much work."

Li Dong was a little speechless: "Is this what you think?"

Liu Hong was a little puzzled, but Wang Junyu muttered: "If we really want to expand the platform, why should we go to the other party, the other party will take the initiative to find us, and the authorization is not easy."

Hearing this sentence, Li Dong couldn't help laughing: "That's right, that's what I mean."

Li Dong said again: "In other words, it shouldn't be too difficult to develop this kind of platform?"

"It's not too big, but..."

Both Wang Junyu and Liu Hong pondered for a while, and after a while Wang Junyu said: "But I don't think it is necessary to develop this kind of application platform. In my opinion, even if we develop it, it will be at most everyone's responsibility." It will only be used when the computer is first started, and I think it will probably be uninstalled after that.

Not to mention the huge promotion costs for this kind of software, I find it difficult to make a profit. "

"Who gave you that idea?"

Li Dong shook his head and said: "You are wrong about this. The application distribution platform should be done well. Profit is not a problem. Whether it is advertising placement or other software bidding, similar to the one promoted by Baidu, it is all profit. point.

And I'm not concerned with profitability. "

"Don't care about profit?"

Both of them looked confused, they were really confused today, and they didn't quite understand what Li Dong wanted to do.

He was talking about some problems in the farm, and Li Dong suddenly talked about building an application distribution platform, which is too big a jump.

Seeing that both of them were ignorant, Li Dong was really helpless.

In fact, his application distribution platform is really not for profit.

Li Dong's idea at this time is quite simple, to seize the mobile phone market.

If he develops an application distribution software at this time and takes the lead in the PC market, he can take the opportunity to bundle this platform with major mobile phone manufacturers when the era of smartphones comes.

At that time, whether it is Yuanfang Mall, PP, Weibo or other things, Li Dong will have an absolute advantage.

Promotion on the application distribution platform combines the reputation of all software, and then mainly promotes the mobile terminals under Yuanfang, which is much more cost-effective than single promotion.

Moreover, if you only promote your own mobile client, not to mention spending money, the effect may not be satisfactory.

In the future, whether it is Tencent, Baidu or Ali, they will devote themselves to the development and acquisition of major application distribution platforms in order to seize the market and traffic.

Like 91 Assistant, 360 Software Butler, Android Market, Pea Pod, App Store...

These platforms will become essential software for mobile phone users in the future.

In other aspects, the strength of Yuanfang Mall is too weak, and it is too difficult to catch up with others.

The application distribution platform was almost invisible in the market in 2007. Yuanfang entered this field at this time, and it was a step ahead of others.

Li Dong does not ask himself to occupy the entire market, but only a part of the market.

His main purpose is to promote the products under the mall, and the things under Yuanfang's own, so it is natural to promote the products of Yuanfang.

For example, App Store has hundreds of millions of downloads, but it has brought a large number of potential users to Tencent.

This is what Li Dong wants to do now, before other Internet companies pay attention to this, let's take the opportunity to talk about it.

Wang Junyu and Wang Junyu were still thinking, and Li Dong stopped talking, waiting for them to think about it for themselves.

At this time, the era of smart phones has not yet begun, and they should not understand it.

After all, it seems that there is not much room for profit in getting an application distribution software just on the PC side.

But Li Dong can't say that the era of smart phones is about to start, this matter can only wait until smart phones become the mainstream in the future, and the application distribution software from afar brings countless benefits, and the two of them will fully understand what Li Dong is talking about today.

I don't know how long it took before Wang Junyu eagerly said: "Mr. Li, I thought about it and found it quite interesting, but tell me this..."

He was a little apprehensive, now he was just a small employee.

Li Dong summoned himself and talked about developing the software platform again. He had a vague premonition that Li Dong probably wanted to hand this over to him for development.

To be honest, Wang Junyu himself didn't believe it.

He wanted qualifications but no qualifications, he wanted skills, and the skills seemed to be low. After all, he didn't come from this major. In terms of skills alone, he might not be as good as Liu Hong. Why did Li Dong seek him?

Li Dong didn't bother to explain, he was looking for Wang Junyu, naturally because of pea pods.

But this is not clear, not to mention whether Wang Junyu can do it now, he doesn't have much confidence, he can only hope that this guy can still perform at the level of his previous life.

In fact, it doesn't matter in terms of technology. The technical difficulty of developing this platform is not too great.

The key is thinking and thinking, after all, it is the same person, Li Dong thinks there should be some ideas.

After Wang Junyu finished speaking, Li Dong nodded and said, "That's what I mean. Liu Hong will set up a research and development team. He will take charge of the overall situation. You will lead the team to develop this software."

Although he roughly guessed what Li Dong meant, when Li Dong said that he would lead the team, Wang Junyu was still a little dazed.

real or fake?

After all, the development of this platform requires a lot of investment.

Among other things, promotion and obtaining authorization are definitely not as easy as imagined in the early stage, and require a lot of investment.

In the early stage, this platform will not bring any benefits to Yuanfang.

Such a large investment, let him, a fledgling boy, be in charge?

Although Li Dong said that Liu Hong was the host, everyone is not a fool. The meaning of Li Dong's words is obvious. In fact, it is Wang Junyu who really presides over the overall situation.

As for Liu Hong, it was just used to gag other people's mouths.

Liu Hong obviously also understood this point, feeling a little bit lost in his heart.

Before Li Dong reprimanded him for not saying anything, and now he handed over the development of this software to this brat in front of him, does Li Dong already have ideas for him?

Li Dong didn't care what they thought, and continued: "At present, I am just a suggestion. You can study the domestic market carefully. I can't point you to specific things. You have to study everything by yourself, and you can give me a plan as soon as possible later. plan.

At the last meeting, I said that there is still a budget of 2 billion yuan for Yuanfang Mall in the second half of this year, and this software development is actually included in it.

After the launch of the farm, the mall has two tasks, Weibo and the app distribution platform.

When these things form a stable ecological chain, that is when Yuanfang Mall grows and surpasses. "

After exhorting a few more words, Li Dong got up and said, "That's it for now, I won't say anything else, I'm leaving first."

...

After Li Dong left, Liu Hong took a deep look at Wang Junyu, and said after a long time: "Xiao Wang, this time you have fallen into Mr. Li's eyes."

Although Wang Junyu is young, he is not a fool.

Hearing this, he quickly smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, stop joking. Mr. Li knows me. It's not thanks to Mr. Liu and Mr. Shen who take care of me, otherwise Mr. Li knows which green onion I am?

What's more, I'm just a rookie and I don't know anything. Whether I can do it well depends on Mr. Liu's help. "

Liu Hong smiled slightly and said: "This is your own hard work, otherwise, no matter how much we recommend, Mr. Li will not like you. But you are still too young after all, and you are not rich enough in some experiences. Since President Li of Application Platform Development specifically mentioned it, we have to pay attention to it.

How about this, you are responsible for the early stage, if there is anything you don't understand, you can come to me to discuss it at any time.

Looks like we'll have to get busy again. "

Wang Junyu nodded with a smile and said: "Be busy, and don't bother me in the future, Mr. Liu. If I really encounter something I don't understand, I will come to you often to explain my doubts."

Liu Hong laughed suddenly, patted him on the shoulder and said nothing more.

After leaving Liu Hong's office, Wang Junyu first clenched his fists, and then heaved a long sigh of relief.

Here's your chance!

Ever since Li Dong invited him to join Yuanfang in the capital, he had expected that such a day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

As for Liu Hong, Wang Junyu looked back at the closed office. It seemed that although Liu Hong was a little unhappy for the time being, he shouldn't be too good at embarrassing himself.

But I have to be careful in the future, stealing the limelight from my boss is not a good thing.
