Pingchuan Airport.
After alighting from the plane, Li Dong suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He turned and looked at the LED advertising screen in the airport. There was a line of words written on it. "What are you waiting for? Come and steal some vegetables!"
Feng Yu looked around. Not only the LED advertising screen, but all the places that could advertise had Far Away Farm's advertisements.
As he walked out of the airport, Li Dong noticed that Pingchuan had changed since he was away for five days.
All the LED advertising screens on the streets were showing Yang Si's figure.
Far Away Farm's advertisements had taken over all the places in Pingchuan that could advertise.
After walking for a while, Tan Yong was driving beside him. Li Dong did not look at the LED advertising screens anymore. He got into the car and said: "To the company!"
… …
Far Away Building.
Li Dong went straight to the shopping mall.
Li Dong was not in a hurry to go to Shen Qian's office. He went to Liu Hong's office.
He knocked on the door and saw Liu Hong sitting in front of his computer.
Casually raising his head to look at the person, Liu Hong was shocked to see that it was Li Dong. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Director Li, you're back."
Li Dong nodded. He saw Liu Hong was nervous and waved his hand: "Have a seat. I just saw the Farm's advertisement and came to ask about it."
Liu Hong heard Li Dong mention this and was relieved: "The advertisement had been launched. But it is still limited to Jiangbei. We will launch the nationwide advertisement in the middle of this month. Currently, we are focusing on outdoor advertising and traditional media advertising. In the second half of the month, we will focus on online advertising. After all, the Farm is an online game. These people are our main audience. "
Li Dong nodded: "Good plan. Of course, don't limit the Farm to only the online audience. This is a casual social game for everyone. It is not only for office workers. In the future, it will be normal for uncles and aunties to play our Farm game. "
Liu Hong laughed dryly, too embarrassed to retort.
But after thinking for a while, Liu Hong said: "Thanks to General Manager Li's advice. I had forgotten about the term social interaction. Social interaction is the main trend in the Farm. When the Farm was first developed, we were all playing single player and did not find it fun. But after you gave me some pointers, everyone in the technical team became addicted to it. Everyone is especially interested in stealing vegetables … … "
Now, Liu Hong's confidence in the Farm had increased.
When he first started developing the game, he actually didn't have much confidence. Even after it was developed, he tried it for a few days and felt that the future of the game was uncertain.
After a few internal tests, Feng, Feng Yu, Farm, and Dong's Liu Hong's Feng, Liu Hong, Feng, and Feng.
", Liu Hong 'Feng, Dong," said. Liu "Liu Hong" from Feng. from. "Liu Hong Hong Hong's Dong"
Although he was confident, Liu Hong was still worried. He felt that the game might not reach Li Dong's expectations.
Now, Li Dong said that the Farm was not only for the office workers but also for the entire Farm. Liu Hong did not have the guts to guarantee it.
Li Dong saw Feng Yu was worried and frowned: "Being humble is a good thing, but don't be too humble! If you, the developer, do not have confidence, how can the others have confidence? It doesn't matter if you can achieve the goal or not. You must not lose in terms of momentum! What's wrong with bragging? It's not illegal to brag. If you don't even dare to brag, then why are you trying to innovate? "
Li Dong scolded Liu Hong. Liu Hong's face turned pale.
Li Dong looked at him and was slightly disappointed.
Liu Hong was good at maintaining the Farm, but he lacked the spirit to innovate.
Of course, if not, they would not have given up on starting their own business and joined Far Away.
The reason they chose to join Far Away was that Far Away was stable. It was not like starting a business that was precarious, where even food was a problem.
Not everyone had such an enterprising and pioneering spirit. Otherwise, everyone would be like Ma Yun.
Although he was disappointed, Li Dong did not reprimand him. Changing a person's character was not something that could be achieved with a few encouraging words.
Since Liu Hong's character was suitable for maintaining the Farm, he would be in charge of this in the future.
Other than Weibo, which was still being developed by him, Li Dong did not plan to let him continue developing other projects. This guy was more suitable for following the rules and doing things.
After a few simple words, Li Dong said, "Is Wang Junyu here?"
"Yes, yes, General Manager Li. You want to see him?"
"Yes, yes, let him come over."
"Okay, I will go look for him."
After Liu Hong said this, he hurried out of the office.
Seeing his panicked look, Li Dong sighed softly. With just a few words of reprimand, Liu Hong probably could not sit still and was a bit flustered.
As the technical director, did he need to find an employee personally?
Leaving Li Dong alone in the office, just from this point alone, this guy was still a typical technical talent. His management skills were far from perfect.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Hong brought the confused Wang Junyu into the office.
Seeing that Li Dong was here, Wang Junyu was relieved. Just now, his boss dragged him into the office, so he thought something happened.
Although he knew Li Dong, and even Li Dong personally poached him, Wang Junyu did not dare to be arrogant. He greeted, "Hello, General Manager Li."
"Mhmm, sit down and talk."
Li Dong replied. After Wang Junyu sat down, Li Dong simply asked about his work situation.
Far away had been a few months. Because of Shen Qian and Li Dong's high regard, Wang Junyu was different from the other interns. He had participated in many big events not long after he arrived.
The expansion plan of the shopping mall, the cooperation with other retail companies, the anniversary celebration, and the God Creation Project, Wang Junyu had participated in all of them.
Compared to before, the current Wang Junyu was much more mature.
After chatting for a while, Li Dong finally said, "Do you know about application distribution?"
Wang Junyu scratched his head, his face was slightly confused.
Liu Hong thought for a while and asked, "I have not heard of application distribution, but I know about content distribution. Are they the same concept?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "I don't really understand what application distribution is. I have only heard about it from someone. It is quite interesting. Let me briefly explain my understanding."
"Currently, there are many gaming and entertainment platforms in the domestic market, similar to the 91 Gaming Fashion Platform. You are both in this industry, so you should know better than me what the functions of these platforms are. I don't need to explain in detail. The application distribution that I am talking about is a product similar to this platform. But from the words, you can tell that application distribution is not just a single game distribution platform. It is a combination of all the application software. To put it more vividly, I am talking about a software butler. It gathers all the application software in one platform. It is a platform that integrates software download, update, uninstall, and optimization. Do you understand now? "
"Understood!"
Both of them were not idiots. Once Li Dong said that, they immediately understood.
In 2007, although there was no such application distribution platform in the market, there were similar products.
It was just that because it was not done well and the promotion was not in place, not many people knew about it.
With Li Dong's simple explanation, both of them could immediately imagine the use of such a platform. They could even imagine the general outline of it.
Seeing that they understood, Li Dong heaved a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he did not really understand these things. He only knew a few professional terms.
If both of them did not understand, it would be awkward.
Since they understood, Li Dong did not explain further. He continued, "This time, I asked you to come here because I want you to create an application distribution platform that integrates all the software in one. What do you think?"
Wang Junyu and Liu Hong looked at each other. Create this kind of platform?
It felt feasible, but So far, it did not seem to be of much use.
Liu Hong was confused. Li Dong understood, but Wang Junyu was not excited. Li Dong was a little depressed.
'Wasn't the pea pod created by this guy?
Logically speaking, when I mention this, you should be excited, right?
But this guy was like a hothead. He did not react at all.
Alright, Li Dong knew that this guy was indeed a hothead. Moreover, the pea pod was created in the future. It was not strange that Wang Junyu did not have this concept. After all, not everyone was reborn.
After a while, Liu Hong said hesitantly, "General Manager Li, it is not difficult to create this kind of platform. The main thing is promotion and distribution. After all, there are so many applications in the market. If we launch this kind of platform, we must obtain authorization from the other party. This is too much work. "
Li Dong was a little speechless. "This is your idea?"
Liu Hong was a little puzzled. Wang Junyu muttered, "If we really make the platform big, we don't need to look for the other party. They will take the initiative to look for us. Isn't it easy to obtain authorization?"
When Li Dong heard this, he could not help but smile. "That's right. That's what I mean."
Then, Li Dong said, "In other words, it should not be difficult to develop this kind of platform?"
"It's not difficult, but …"
Wang Junyu and Liu Hong thought for a while. 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 at most be used when people first start using their computers. After that, I think they will choose to uninstall it. This kind of software will cost a lot to promote, and I think it will be difficult to make profits. "
"Who gave you this idea?"
Li Dong shook his head and said, "You are wrong about this. If the application distribution platform is successful, profits will not be a problem. Whether it is through product placement or bidding for other applications, like Baidu's promotion, these are all profit points. Also, I am not concerned about the profits. "
"Not concerned about profits?"
Both of them were dumbfounded. They were really confused today and didn't quite understand what Li Dong was trying to do.
They were talking about some problems in the farm, and Li Dong suddenly talked about making an application distribution platform. This jump was too big.
Li Dong saw that both of them were confused and felt helpless.
Actually, he did not want to make an application distribution platform for profits.
Li Dong's idea now was simple. Seize the mobile phone market.
If he developed an application distribution software now and took the lead in the PC market, when the smartphone era comes, he can use this platform to cooperate with the major mobile phone manufacturers.
At that time, no matter if it is Far Away Mall, PP, or Weibo, Li Dong will have the absolute advantage.
Promoting on the application distribution platform will gather the reputation of all the applications, and then promote Far Away Mall's mobile terminal. This is more cost-effective than promoting on a single platform.
Also, promoting on a single mobile terminal will cost a lot of money, and the results might not be as good as expected.
In the future, Tencent, Baidu, or Ali will be developing and acquiring all the major application distribution platforms to seize the market share and traffic.
For example, 91 Assistant, 360 Software Butler, Android Market, Pea Pod, App Store …
These platforms will become essential applications for mobile phone users in the future.
In other aspects, Far Away Mall is too weak, and it will be too difficult for them to catch up.
But the application distribution platform was almost non-existent in the market in 2007. Far Away will be one step ahead of others in this aspect.
Li Dong did not expect to occupy the entire market. He just wanted to occupy a portion of the market.
His main goal was to promote the products under Far Away Mall. Far Away Mall's products, promoting Far Away Mall's products is natural.
For example, the App Store has hundreds of millions of downloads, and it has brought a large number of potential users to Tencent.
That was what Li Dong wanted to do now. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the other internet companies were not paying attention to this point.
Wang Junyu and Li Dong were still thinking, and Li Dong did not say anything. He wants to wait for them to think it through.
At this time, the smartphone era has not started yet, and it is normal that they do not understand.
After all, if it is just the PC side, creating an application distribution software does not seem to have much profit margin.
But Li Dong cannot say that the smartphone era is about to start soon. This matter can only wait until smartphones become mainstream in the future. Far Away Mall application distribution software will bring about countless benefits, and only then will the two fully understand what Li Dong is talking about today.
After some time, Wang Junyu said eagerly, "General Manager Li, I thought about it, and it is quite interesting. But you are talking to me about this …"
He is a little nervous. He is just a small employee now.
Li Dong summoned him and talked about the development platform. He has a hunch that Li Dong wants him to develop this software.
But honestly, Wang Junyu does not believe it himself.
He does not have the qualifications, and he does not have the skills. After all, he is not a professional. In terms of skills, he is probably not as good as Liu Hong. Why is Li Dong looking for him?
Li Dong is too lazy to explain. He is looking for Wang Junyu because of the pea pods.
But this is not clear. Moreover, he is not confident whether Wang Junyu can do it or not. He can only hope that this guy can still perform as well as he did in his previous life.
The technical aspect does not matter. The technical difficulty of developing this platform is not too high.
The key is the idea and the train of thought. After all, they are the same person. Li Dong feels that they should have some ideas.
After Wang Junyu finished speaking, Li Dong nodded and said, "That is what I mean. Liu Hong will form a development team. He will be in charge of the overall situation, and you will be in charge of developing this software."
Although Wang Junyu roughly guessed that this is what Li Dong meant, when Li Dong said that he will lead the team, Wang Junyu is still a little confused.
Is this for real?
After all, the investment to develop this platform is not small.
Marketing and obtaining authorization will not be as easy as imagined in the early stages. It will require a lot of investment.
And in the early stages, this platform will not bring any benefits to Far Away Mall.
This is such a big investment, and a young kid is in charge of it?
Although Li Dong said Liu Hong will be in charge of it, everyone is not stupid. Li Dong's words revealed that Wang Junyu is the one in charge of the overall situation.
As for Liu Hong, he is just there to shut people up.
Liu Hong clearly understood this, and he felt a little disappointed.
Previously, Li Dong had scolded him. Now, he is handing over the development of this software to this young kid. Could it be that Li Dong is interested in him?
Li Dong does not care about what they are thinking and continued. "I only have one suggestion now. You all can study the local market. I will not be able to guide you all on the specifics. You all have to study it yourselves. Give me a proposal as soon as possible. I had mentioned in the previous meeting that there will be a 2 billion RMB budget for Far Away Mall. This software is included in the budget. After the farm is launched, the mall will have two tasks, Weibo and this application distribution platform. When these things form a stable ecosystem, it will be time for Far Away Mall to surpass it. "
After giving a few more reminders, Li Dong stood up. "That's all for now. I will not say anything else. I will take my leave first."
…
After Li Dong left, Liu Hong looked at Wang Junyu. After a long time, he said, "Xiao Wang, General Manager Li has taken a liking to you this time."
Although Wang Junyu is young, he is not a fool.
When he heard this, he immediately laughed. "Director Liu, stop joking. It is all thanks to Director Liu and Director Shen that General Manager Li knows me. If not, how would General Manager Li know who I am? Furthermore, I am just a rookie and do not know anything. Whether I can do it well or not, I still need Director Liu's help. "
Liu Hong smiled. "This is also because of your hard work. If not, no matter how much we recommend you, General Manager Li will not take a liking to you. However, you're still too young. You don't have enough experience. Since Mr. Li, the developer of this application platform, specially mentioned it, we have to pay attention to it. How about this? You will be in charge of the initial stage. If there is anything you do not understand, you can come and discuss with me anytime. Seems like we have to be busy again. "
Wang Junyu smiled and nodded. "It's good to be busy. Also, Director Liu, please don't find me annoying in the future. If I really encounter something I do not understand, I will come and look for you frequently."
Liu Hong immediately laughed and patted him on the shoulder without saying anything else.
After leaving Liu Hong's office, Wang Junyu clenched his fist and let out a long sigh of relief.
Opportunity is here!
From the moment Li Dong invited him to join Far Away Mall in Beijing, he expected this day to come, but he did not expect it to come so soon.
As for Liu Hong, Wang Junyu looked back at the closed office. For the time being, it seems that although Liu Hong is a little unhappy, he should not make things difficult for me.
But I have to be careful in the future. It is not a good thing to steal the limelight from my superior.
