"Is this Filo's idea or everyone else's?"
Yang Zhiyuan knew that things were not as simple as he thought.
"I agree with Filo's suggestion."
Another board member suddenly said.
"Count me in too."
"I think there should be more changes in Yahoo."
In an instant, all five directors agreed with Filo's suggestion.
"You all …"
Yang Zhiyuan opened his mouth but did not say anything.
He knew that although Filo said it, these people had already reached an agreement in private.
Moreover, the four of them had more than 50% of Yahoo's shares.
In other words …
No matter how much Yang Zhiyuan objected, it was useless.
"Meeting adjourned."
Yang Zhiyuan's expression was ugly.
He knew that the board of directors could not decide to change the CEO today. He still needed to go through the shareholders' meeting.
But this was just a process.
In the future, not only would he not be able to keep his position as Yahoo's CEO, but he would also lose his position as Yahoo's chairman.
At most, he would be able to keep a seat on the board of directors and the title of Yahoo's founder.
Two weeks later, the media reported that Yahoo's founder and CEO, Yang Zhiyuan, resigned from all his positions at Yahoo.
Yes.
Rather than being removed from his position at the shareholders' meeting, it was better for him to resign himself.
Although Yang Zhiyuan was extremely unwilling, he had no other choice.
"I didn't expect Yahoo's founder to be kicked out."
"There was Steve Jobs, and now there's Yang Zhiyuan. Capital is always bloody."
"Actually, it's not wrong to kick Yang Zhiyuan out. Although Yang Zhiyuan is Yahoo's founder, he can't adapt to Yahoo's growth. It's wise to leave Yahoo."
All the major media outlets discussed this.
Some felt it was a pity.
Some analyzed it rationally.
But no matter what, Yang Zhiyuan's departure symbolized the end of an era.
"Boss Yang, did you really resign from all your positions at Yahoo?"
"What's the point of keeping it? It's useless even if it's just an honorary position."
"That's true."
Yang Zhiyuan's resignation surprised Chen Yu.
Based on history in his previous life, Yang Zhiyuan should have resigned from Yahoo for a few years.
But unexpectedly, the course of history had been brought forward.
Although Chen Yu and Yang Zhiyuan didn't have much friendship, when he received the news of Yang Zhiyuan's resignation, Chen Yu couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Boss Yang, what are your plans for the future?"
"I don't know."
Yang Zhiyuan shook his head. "I might have to go to China to take a look."
"China?"
"Yeah, I was wondering what kind of charm China has to be able to give birth to a super company like Huanyu Technologies."
"Boss Yang, you flatter me. But China's charm is really too great. Welcome to China. If you come, I will be your tour guide. "
"Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu closed his eyes and pondered for a while.
A few minutes later, Chen Yu sent a message to the company's internal email: "Start our global portal plan."
…
"Boss Yang, you don't have to resign from all your positions at Yahoo."
"Why? Is there a point in saying this now?"
"Don't misunderstand. Although I have some opinions about your management style, you are the founder of Yahoo. You know Yahoo the best. Even if you are no longer the CEO, you can still take on other positions. I think this will be good for you and Yahoo. "
"No need. Since you have chosen a new CEO, I wish you all the best."
Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan's office. Yang Zhiyuan packed up some of his personal belongings.
Since he had already resigned from Yahoo, he didn't want to stay here any longer.
Although he couldn't bear to leave Yahoo.
But what could he do?
He only had 10% of Yahoo's shares. He didn't have much say in Yahoo.
Rather than that, he might as well resign completely.
Of course, Yang Zhiyuan still hoped that Yahoo would develop well.
After all, he was the founder of Yahoo. Even if he left Yahoo, he would still give Yahoo his blessings.
"Zhiyuan, what are your plans for the future?"
"Nothing. Let's go. Let's start our journey."
"Travel around the world?"
"Yes."
Yang Zhiyuan looked at his wife, Shan Qi. "I used to tell you when I would bring you around the world, but it never came true. Today, I'm finally free. "
"You don't want to manage Yahoo anymore?"
"I want to, but there's nothing I can do. Let's go … "
Yang Zhiyuan and his wife left home with their luggage.
But what Yang Zhiyuan didn't know was …
When they came back, Yahoo had already changed.
After Yang Zhiyuan resigned from all of his positions at Yahoo, Huanyu Technologies launched a new business.
This business was called Toutiao.
To the outside world, Huanyu Technologies didn't explain what kind of business Toutiao was.
But it didn't matter.
As soon as Toutiao went online, it quickly gained the favor of many users.
As for why users liked Toutiao, they didn't know.
Originally, they only liked to watch the news and various text and video content.
Under normal circumstances, most of them would use Yahoo's portal.
Because Yahoo's portal was the world's largest portal, it had the most complete news and information.
However, after today's headlines appeared, they gradually lost interest in Yahoo.
As Toutiao said, only what you cared about was the headline.
Most of them liked to use portals. Although they liked to watch the news, they wouldn't watch all kinds of news.
They wouldn't watch the news that they weren't interested in.
For example, some people weren't interested in women, celebrities, or gossip, but portals had to introduce these kinds of content.
And some users were interested in cars, real estate, military, and so on. But sometimes, portals didn't have much content because of the layout.
Of course.
This was only one aspect.
More than that.
They couldn't understand the content of some of the things they cared about through portals.
For example, they wanted to understand cars, but the content of portals about cars wasn't comprehensive.
Or you could say that you could go to a car related website, where there was more knowledge.
But in fact, car related websites weren't very effective. Some of the news content inside was mostly advertising.
But Toutiao was different from portals and professional car related websites.
They used a model called user original content generation and shared a large amount of original content with users.
Of course, as the users themselves.
While they were reading, they could also participate in the creation of original content.
In other words …
Users were content viewers and content creators.
Then, there was a problem.
With so much content, how could they display it on the user interface?
Generally speaking, the user interface couldn't host a large amount of original content.
Therefore, because of this, the content published by portals was limited. They couldn't publish the content they wanted to report.
But this problem had been solved long ago.
In Huanyu's video website, Huanyu Technologies used their big data recommendation algorithm to recommend accurately to users.
Just as Toutiao said, only what you cared about was the headline.
As for what you didn't care about, why would you recommend it?
