Born Again: A Journey of Love Rediscovered Novel Chapter 473

After the Tonight Toutiao website opened for registration, the internal beta test of the app came out not long after.

In just one month, its registrations exceeded half a million.

Some people watch it while eating and before going to bed. The time spent pooping has doubled. There are also endless incidents of people queuing up at the dormitory door to curse.

The most interesting thing is that some teachers in the school are also watching, and sometimes they even forget to go to class until something wakes them up and they rush over.

"Damn, this stuff is addictive."

"On top, really on top."

"I don't think the stuff here is news at all, but it's really interesting."

In fact, in the PC era, there are already many giants in the news field, such as NetEase News, Tencent News, Phoenix...

However, the content of these news websites is almost all published with the same caliber, and most of the people who write the news have a professional background. They still insist on the principle that news content must be objective and factual, and there is no subjective color in the text.

But Toutiao’s positioning is different.

Most of Tonight Toutiao’s content creators are part-time college students from major universities and are very sensitive to pop culture.

They will choose the news they are interested in online, combine their own thinking and understanding, and re-create the content. The content produced will be interesting, diverse, and with novel perspectives.

For example, Tencent News published a story about a certain actress attending a red carpet, describing what she wore and what posture she posed. However, this news changed in the headlines tonight. A certain actress made a rare appearance and her figure is no longer what it used to be.

What news must be objective? It's all fucking subjective to me.

How could it be possible to be so weak, laugh to death, and make a macho man cry? It perfectly explains what prejudice and arrogance are.

However, compared with mainstream news portals, it is more attractive, more thoughtful and valuable for comment.

The first thing many people feel when they open Tonight's Toutiao is that the multifaceted world suddenly unfolds before their eyes...

In addition to the hot news that has been re-created, a large part of the content in tonight's headlines comes from old news.

For example, the life of xx, the legendary experience of xx, how much do you know about the unpopular history, tips for keeping healthy before going to bed, and three things you must not do.

Seeing no one around, a middle-aged male teacher secretly clicked on "Three Secret Recipes for Enhancing Yang, and there are still people who don't know about it?" ” news page, there was also a single college student who casually wrote an informative article on “How to quickly gain favorability of the opposite sex in QQ chat”.

"Have you used tonight's headlines?"

"Use it. It's the one advertised on Zhihu. I read gossip on it every day. It's so interesting."

"I was scrolling through the news until midnight yesterday and followed several accounts."

Hearing the discussion, Zhuang Chen couldn't help but turn his head and look at Jian Chun: "Chun Chun, are you making headlines recently?"

Jian Chun nodded: "I'm brushing. Sometimes I don't remember what I brushed, but the time passes right away."

"I am also using it, and I feel that my horizons have broadened a lot. This is an epoch-making work. Compared with Toutiao Tonight, some Internet products are really rubbish."

"What's so rubbish?"

Zhuang Chen clapped his fingers: "Some web games and pirated websites are all rubbish, and Zhihu is not that good either."

Song Qingqing stared at the sound: "What are you talking about? Why is Zhihu trash?"

"A group of college students post posts all day long to find partners, or spread gossip about various departments. The atmosphere in the school has become exaggerated, and it doesn't look like 985 at all. Isn't it rubbish? I have never You don’t even need Zhihu.”

When trendy things develop to a stage and are recognized by the public, there will indeed be some pretentious people who do the opposite, thinking that others are not using me, so I am very noble and elegant.

Zhuang Chen feels like this now. Everyone uses Zhihu to chat about gossip, but I am the only one who is different from others, which shows that I am not ordinary.

After hearing this, John Tian couldn't help but ask: "What's the difference between using Zhihu to read school gossip and using Tonight Toutiao to read entertainment industry gossip?"

"That's different. At least the gossip articles in tonight's headlines have something to say, and their thoughts are very deep. Many of their opinions are well-founded!"

"Isn't it because you hate John Qin?"

Zhuang Chen was very magnanimous: "I'm not that superficial, I'm just discussing things. Don't you think the developers of these two products are not at the same level in terms of ideological level? What do you think of Guangfa?"

Zhang Guangfa turned his head when he heard the sound and looked at him: "Whatever, don't take me with you."

"But to be honest, Zhihu is much better than pirated websites. I'm not saying it is useless, it's just that it has no value. It can't be compared with Toutiao."

The teacher kept talking in class, and Zhuang Chen forced Lai Lai from behind. The three girls who listened were agitated.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly ran towards the door, attracting everyone's attention. Although this girl was not from the School of Finance, most people knew her because she was John Qin's secretary, Wendy Wen.

Wendy Wen knocked on the door: "Hello, teacher, excuse me, I am John Qin's secretary. Is our boss here?"

"John Qin?"

The professor pushed up his reading glasses and looked around: "Your boss is not here, but Nancy Feng is."

Wendy Wen spoke again: "Then can I waste a little time and have a word with our landlady?"

"Okay, go ahead."

Wendy Wen immediately ran into the classroom and placed a folder with Tonight's Toutiao recruitment report in front of Nancy Feng. The huge red and white logo on the cover looked very dazzling.

"Boss Boss, I'm here to deliver documents to my boss. He said he would come to the classroom later, but I seem to be early. Can you hand it over to me? I have to go to the headquarters later."

Nancy Feng looked up at her: "Jin Rui, you are a good person."

Wendy Wen was a little flattered: "Huh? Thank you... thank you boss lady for the compliment."

Seeing this scene, Song Qingqing couldn't help but smile brightly: "Oh, it turns out that such a deep and high-end product also belongs to my male idol."

Zhuang Chen was silent for a while and then said: "Then I won't say it's bad. Tonight's headlines are indeed good."

Zhang Guangfa turned his head when he heard the sound and glanced at Zhuang Chen. Damn it, John Qin didn't learn his entrepreneurial skills, but you learned a lot about his bad mouth.

Zhuang Chen turned his head at this time, his expression a little solemn: "I find that I don't understand myself more and more..."

"You are possessed."

"What's the meaning?"

Zhang Guangfa lowered his voice: "It's okay if you were not convinced before. He now has 180 million. Why are you not convinced? Because of your big face?"

Zhuang Chen frowned: "I just want Jian Chun to notice me."

"Then don't care about John Qin's existence, just use the advantages you have."

"What are my strengths?"

"You...you have a pretty good hair style."

While the two were chatting, a figure suddenly walked into the classroom quietly, with light hands and feet, and was worse than a thief.

People around were still marveling that John Qin was the headline tonight, but when they saw this figure, they couldn't hold back. Is this the big boss with 180 million in his hands?

At this moment, the old professor turned around after writing on the blackboard and saw John Qin sneaking halfway.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward as the two looked at each other.

"I'm sorry, Professor, I'm late."

"It's okay, it's only forty minutes late. There are still five minutes left. Sit down."

John Qinxin said that you should have told me earlier, so I would have walked in swaggering, and then he sat next to Nancy Feng.

Charles Cao couldn't help but pat him from behind: "Did you develop Toutiao Tonight? Aren't you a group player?"

"A random pen, a bit of clumsiness, a joke."

Young Master Cao took a deep breath and thought to himself, "You really can show off. Damn it. I spent half the night reading it yesterday and couldn't stop at all. As a result, when I came to you, I was a bit clumsy." He clicked the ballpoint pen, and then He took out his notebook and wrote down this sentence.

In fact, John Qin is not pretending to be cool. Currently, group building is the top priority of his entire business layout. Toutiao Tonight is indeed not his main business.

At the very least, it is not the focus of development at this stage.

But now that he has started, John Qin still hopes to get it done quickly.

At this time, Nancy Feng took out the document sent by Wendy Wen and handed it to John Qin: "It was sent by Wendy."

"Has the recruitment ended?"

John Qin reached for the folder and opened it to look at it. The content management department had hired about ten people and the review team had twenty people.

In addition, Lana Wei also identified several algorithm engineer candidates through the recruitment website, and the information sheets were also among them.

After Tonight Toutiao enters the self-media stage in the later stage, the amount of content will increase infinitely, and it will be troublesome to manually find the content of interest, so precise push will be the main development direction in the later stage.

This thing involves algorithms, so John Qin asked Lana Wei to look for some candidates.

Of course, in addition to Tonight Toutiao’s need for algorithm engineers, the later stage of group-building unification of the market also requires the blessing of algorithms to achieve precise promotions.

For example, recommendations for good products and careful selection for group shopping require precise data to be pushed to users who may be interested in purchasing, so the formation of an algorithm team is essential.

This is the second step of the company's development strategy, called the talent plan.

The current mobile Internet has just started, and everyone is competing for the market, so talents are relatively easy to obtain.

Lana Wei had previously interviewed these engineers through the recruitment company and asked about their salary requirements, which were marked on their files.

John Qin turned his head, snatched the clicking ballpoint pen from Charles Cao, and marked every file. The principle was that he was not afraid of spending money.

He returned the pen and glanced at Charles Cao.

If he revealed how much money he had raised, Master Cao would probably not be able to sleep for a month.
