After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 125: You need money to run an ad? No! Rich people need ads too!
With a deep feeling of powerlessness, Zhang Yilong looked at the increasing amount of information that was gathered here.

But what can he do?
The continuous actions have made Xiaosha's popularity continue to rise.

Counting each user individually, the total number of Xiaosha's users is now comparable to that of WeChat.

More and more people are beginning to analyze all the operations of Baiju Technology during this period.

However, the fundamental reason is that Xiaosha is so powerful that other companies cannot imitate it.

But if we can even sort out a little bit of the logic behind the continuous explosion, we may benefit a lot and be able to keep up with the path led by Baiju Technology more quickly.

Previously, software developers cooperated with Baiju Technology to provide element-level services for many reasons: Xiaosha was too powerful, so they had to do it, to grab users and traffic, and the concept was advanced and promising...

But now, the reason has become the simplest one: to make money!
And this one reason alone is more difficult to deal with than thousands of other reasons.

It’s not that Zhang Yilong doesn’t have ideas. His ideas may even be better than what Baiju Technology is doing now.

However, unfortunately, the technical foundation does not exist. Even if he thought of it, Tencent would not be able to do it - he was thinking about it based on Xiaosha.

As for, based on Tencent’s current technology…

Being powerless is not a crime of war!

……

As for Baiju Technology, Xiaosha's series of actions have affected more than just Tencent. Almost all technology companies, industry insiders and partners are paying close attention.

Including Gao Zhixiang, who was also in the tea room at home at this moment, drinking tea and thinking, trying to understand the operations of Baiju Technology.

"Old man, hurry up and turn on your advertising function." Gao Zhixiang was lost in thought when suddenly a gust of wind blew and Gao Chenyu rushed in, opening the door in a hurry.

"Come, come here." Gao Zhixiang waved his hand and looked at his son kindly.

"Dad, what..."

Before Gao Chenyu could finish his words, his father stepped forward, picked up the short-bristled brush on the tea table and threw it at him: "I'll let you, old man! I'll let you, old man! You've been acting so disrespectful all day, have you done anything serious?"

After all, the short-bristled brush was too small. Even though Gao Zhixiang was panting heavily from exhaustion, Gao Chenyu still smiled playfully:
"Hey, don't tell me, now that I have my brother Cheng's support, my career will only be bigger than yours in the future!"

After saying that, Gao Chenyu snorted, which showed that he was not convinced.

This time Gao Zhixiang did not refute it. He really could not refute it. He could only sit back in his chair tremblingly: "Why did you come home again?"

"I can't go back to my house yet, right? Do you have a mistress hidden in your house? I'm afraid you'll be discovered!"

"I found you..."

He was about to say "fuck your grandma", but then he thought it was inappropriate and stopped abruptly. He kicked Gao Chenyu directly. This rebellious son always made him angry every time they met:
"Wait until your mother comes back, and she'll beat you to death!"

"No, Dad!" An honest child is afraid of being beaten by his father, and a reckless boy like this is afraid of being beaten by his mother. Gao Chenyu immediately softened.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Gao Zhixiang sat up straight, as if he finally had the authority of a father.

"Didn't I tell you as soon as I walked in? Open your Xiaosha's ad."

"What do I need those two red envelopes?" Gao Zhixiang has always been paying attention to the affairs of Baiju Technology. Of course, he knows about Xiaosha's updates, and he also understands the operating mode very clearly through his assistant and deputy.

I have to say, this is really a genius business model.

Based on Gao Zhixiang's many years of experience, as long as a business model is a win-win for both parties, its success is basically certain.

Xiaosha's model will obviously make all parties involved very satisfied, so there is no reason for it to fail.

Even users can make money. However, he himself doesn't care about that little bit of money.

"Old man, you are too narrow-minded!" Gao Chenyu said, "Do you still think that advertising is rubbish and a way to make money?"

Seeing that this rebellious son was actually going to rebel against the Heavenly Gang, Gao Zhixiang wanted to teach him a lesson, so he straightened up again and prepared to analyze the business logic here for him, so that he would know that the old ones are still the wisest:
"The model of Baiju Technology is that they will first strictly control the products they advertise. Not only do they recognize the reports, but they also require Xiaosha's testing and supervision. They have already formed a certain authority in people's minds. But..."

"Please open it first and try it for a day before giving your evaluation." Before Gao Zhixiang could finish his "but", Gao Chenyu interrupted him directly: "Old comrade, don't eat too much salt all day long, and keep talking about old and new things. It's time to keep up with the times."

Gao Chenyu said this, and snatched his father's phone, obtained authorization through facial recognition, and shouted: "Xiaosha, activate the advertising function."

"Let me see what the first ad you pushed is."

When Gao Zhixiang heard this, he did not try to stop him. It was indeed his problem before. One should not apply one's own ideas about advertising and promotion to other people's products based on preconceived ideas and then draw conclusions based on the feedback from others. Some things can only be convincingly verified after one's own experience.

He also wanted to see what the winning Xiaosha would recommend to him first.

[The Lesser Cold is coming, it’s time to drink a pot of nourishing soup. Yunjian Preserved Meat Fresh Pot will give you a recipe: Required ingredients: deer antler, ginseng, seahorse, wolfberry...]

"Why does this material look so wrong?" Gao Chenyu muttered as he read it.

"Get out!" Before Gao Chenyu could finish his sentence, he was kicked out by Gao Zhixiang. Then Gao Zhixiang picked up his phone and started looking at it.

The recipe provides all the ingredients, without hiding anything, but the method is really too complicated.

Moreover, he is the imperial chef of the palace, and his craft has been passed down for ten generations. It is definitely not something that can be imitated with just a recipe. Even if you give it to your own chef, he may not be able to produce the original result.

Gao Zhixiang silently asked Xiaosha to remember the name and address of the store to remind himself to go there when he is not busy.

"Well, let's keep the advertising function on. Even a small fly is still meat. This time, the store gave me a red envelope of 88 yuan!" Gao Zhixiang muttered. However, he was also more and more emotional: "I originally thought that people who watched the ads were just for the money. As this rebellious son said, I am superficial! If this kind of ads are pushed every day, then it's okay to watch a few ads!"

For the first time, Gao Zhixiang's impression of advertising changed. It seemed that the original meaning of "advertisement" was "to make it known to the public". I don't know when it gradually changed its meaning, and Xiaosha just let it return to its original meaning.

Gao Zhixiang is not the only one who has this feeling. People who do long-term fitness, lose fat, or have various plans of their own, are also amazed by Xiaosha's just right recommendations every day or at each node.

"What kind of advertisement is this? The essence is the expansion and extension of accurate information screening, and this extension happens to establish a joint community of interests among APP developers, advertisers, users, and Baiju Technology. In this process, no one is harmed!"

"Moreover, Xiaosha can also control the quality, which is amazing!" Gao Zhixiang looked at some cases and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Baiju Technology's business model was great. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he should scold his rebellious son again!
"Rebellious son! Come in!" Gao Zhixiang shouted towards the door.

"Hey, Dad, how do you know I didn't leave?" Gao Chenyu pushed the door open and asked puzzledly.

"Nonsense, I'm your father!" Gao Zhixiang pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Come on, do it. I saw your ability just now. Come and tell me what you think of Xiaosha's operation?"

"I..." Gao Chenyu wanted to cry but had no tears. Why did he have to eavesdrop outside the door? He was in trouble this time!
……

……

Gao Chenyu is a reckless person, but that doesn't mean he is uneducated. It's just that his rebelliousness in his youth lasted a little longer, that's all.

But he has never experienced the "bloody storm" in the past, nor has he experienced too much "intrigue and deception". Without comparison, there is no harm. No one who has experienced these can understand the great changes that Xiaosha has brought to this society.

What has Xiaosha done? Someone on the social media platform listed what Baiju Technology has done since its establishment:

Xiaosha, priced at Baicai, allows everyone to easily own this AI assistant that seems almost super-godlike.

The food safety testing we cooperate with has directly purified the national food market, and it is expected to form a system of high-end and safe food with a scale of over one trillion yuan.

By open-sourcing two algorithms and the concept of information DNA, the network environment is visibly purified.

Almost all platforms that rely on information exchange and squeezing and exploitation as their main model have collapsed, and this has directly activated the small and medium-sized entrepreneurial market.

AI light entrepreneurship and element-level application services, the electronic device advertising sector has been taken control again.

……

With all these things, many people actually want to ask, what is the goal of Baiju Technology? Or to ask more directly: what exactly does Baiju Technology want?
"Why do you care what it wants? Just tell me whether it feels good or not."

"It's so cool! The world before and after Xiaosha came out is like two completely different worlds! With Xiaosha, this turbid world has finally become clear.

“Not to mention that social media platforms have become quieter, can you believe that video apps no longer have multiple levels of VIP?”

"I'm a developer, let me tell you, it's not that video platforms don't have multi-level VIPs, it's that Xiaosha's element-level applications only support the first level, and multi-level applications are not allowed on the shelves! Now, in Xiaosha, all apps will be unified, and only support three modes: paid purchase, advertising sharing, and first-level VIP monthly subscription."

"Oh, I see! I thought the video platform had a change of heart, but it turns out it was Xiaosha who restricted it. No wonder!"

Many people suddenly realized that before, all the major platforms had VIP, SVIP, gold and diamond VIP, and they wanted to have ten levels and then let you keep paying money.

Even after you pay the money, you will still be given some VIP-exclusive advertisements every now and then, and the new dramas will be available on demand in advance to make more money!
These phenomena have been named and pointed out by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology several times, and multiple platforms have been summoned for talks and rectification. They have even been exposed countless times by major central and local media, but they have not made much of a difference and will only last for a while at most.

As I said, there are people who will be beheaded for this money-making business, let alone interviews and rectifications - today I submitted a rectification report to the regulatory agency, it has been approved, and within three months, I will have to secretly change it back.

Even if it is checked again, according to regulations, if a problem occurs twice, the fine is 30,000 to 50,000 yuan!
What's more, if we just make a slight change next time and adopt another method that is the same as the previous one, it won't be considered a recurrence of the problem, and the cost will be even lower, just a warning during a talk.

This kind of painless punishment is more like connivance than supervision. All major platforms have begun to intensify their punishments and it is becoming more and more outrageous.

Now, Xiaosha has come out! If you mess around, I won’t let you sell it!
"I now understand why Baiju Technology made a system-level plug-in instead of an operating system! If it is an operating system, not putting it on the shelves will obviously cause greater controversy. After all, the platform has its own autonomy in how to operate. The law does not care about this, so why should Baiju Technology care?

"If we forcibly prevent it from being put on the shelves, it might even be suspected of monopoly. But system-level plug-ins are different. Xiaosha itself is just an APP that exists to purify the entire quagmire of society. It is normal to have higher requirements.

"If you don't want to go online and don't want to be purified, you can also go directly to the original Android APP to obtain traffic independently. You are free to choose, and there is no risk of monopoly!"

"Then why would the video platform adapt to this element-level service? If not, don't we still have to go to the original APP to watch it?" Someone raised this question.

"Nonsense! Youku is on it, but you don't use Tencent Video? You want to use Xiaosha's traffic? That's bullshit! Unless everyone agrees that none of them will be on it, but that's impossible!"

"Although video and music platforms are different from other platforms in that they provide services and may even have exclusive copyrights, exclusive copyrights are useless in the face of huge traffic! Internet users are all on Xiaosha. If you don't use element-level services, they won't sell you copyrights next time!"

"Tencent is still very active in grabbing traffic and making money. Besides, what if it is not active? Didn't WeChat fail to adapt, but in the end, it was directly beaten to a pulp by the quicksand! I dare say that within a year, WeChat will become a niche social software!"

When someone said this, no one even refuted it. Some people even thought that the time was too long: "One year? Let me give you a number, three months! After three months, if anyone still uses WeChat, I will laugh at him as an old-fashioned person!"

Even WeChat, a social software that everyone thought had a very deep moat, is no match for Xiaosha, let alone other apps.

Seeing this situation, they worked even harder and split their own apps into element-level services, all of which were put on Xiaosha's system-level architecture platform.

With the help of Xiaosha, development and launch were extremely simple. In just over a week, according to statistics, 99% of the top applications in China have been launched on Xiaosha's element-level application framework.

……

"Come on, let's celebrate your success!" Hao Cheng said, "We can say that our foundation has been laid. Next, we will build tall buildings. Come on, cheers!"

Hao Cheng doesn't drink alcohol. There is Sprite in his glass. The bubbling glass looks very different from others.

"Buzz~Buzz~Buzz-Buzz~"

Hao Cheng had just finished a cup of Coke when he heard three long and two short "buzzing" sounds. This was Xiaosha's special emergency warning signal.
