"After years of control by foreign owners, the Los Angeles Times is back in the hands of local people."
At the breakfast table the next morning, Andy looks at the front page headline of the Los Angeles Times, "who is Andy Smith?" The report, can't help but laugh and shake his head.
Yesterday afternoon's statement in the video conference of the new owners relieved the editors of the times and ushered in a new boss who was not poor in money. The newspaper office was no longer worried about the horror of the big guillotine. Everyone was looking forward to the glorious day of the times coming back soon.
"What news makes you so happy?" Charlize, dressed in two silver grey silk nightgowns and in a bun, walked into the dining room lazily. He leaned over and kissed Andy. Then he reached for the newspaper and began to read.
"Cluck... "As Charlize watched the report, he giggled and joked to Andy who was eating breakfast," these guys are really going to please and flatter the new boss. Ha ha, it's too much
"They're just stating the facts." Andy is extremely shameless to take all the photos, shrugged a copy is like this.
"Cluck, if I remember correctly, you are from New York. When did you become a native of Los Angeles? Tut Tut, even your past black history has been described as a precious treasure in the growth of genius... I can't stand it! "
Charlize joked, and rubbed his arm with goosebumps.
Andy looked at the face of the emperor's face and make complaints about him. He smiled and laughed at her tucked tongue, "has she got the new script? No problem? "
"Well, don't worry. Although the role I played is similar to my experience, I've come out of the shadow and won't get tangled up. I also hope to challenge and maybe break through." Naturally, Charlize knew what Andy meant. In the new play burning plains, she wanted to play the role, because she couldn't extricate herself from the shadow of her childhood sins, which was very similar to her childhood experience.
"To be honest, I don't want you to play in this movie, but rob freiman thinks that you are the only one who is most suitable. He wants to send this movie to the Venice Film Festival next year." Andy's eyes were gentle, and he reached out to caress sehuang's ruddy cheek.
"Ha ha, don't worry, I'm not so vulnerable. My heart has been occupied by little Laura, and there's no room to carry those gray memories!"
"Cough, too much. How about me? There must be a place for me! "
"Ha ha."
"What do you mean by ha ha?"
"Ha ha..."
In the bright and spacious conference room of WhatsApp company, Andy, sitting at the top of the table, leans on the boss's chair, his hands are crossed in front of his body with ten fingers, and some of them are looking at the people who have already quarreled for a long time.
Without him, wasp, who has been running for free for one year, divided a group of subordinates in the company into two camps because of whether to choose to charge or not. Now, whether to charge or not has become a big problem for Andy.
Now the company has developed into a global phenomenon. Nearly 90 million people use its service to send free text messages and photos. It can be said that there has never been such a rapid development of social Jiao tools. Facebook now has 120 million users. And more importantly, nearly half of WhatsApp users reply to messages every day.
Therefore, once the fees are charged, it will undoubtedly bring a very large profit to wasp company, and let wasp, who has been investing in capital development and burning money, start to make profits.
But the key to the problem is the way of payment. Users can only pay through credit card or electronic platform, which brings inconvenience to some people who do not own credit card or do not accept the payment by electronic platform. Andy is really speechless about this. Americans have always questioned the security of electronic payment.
Another is that real name login is completed by US dollar charging, because the credit card login data is real name.
Everyone likes free things. Once you charge for them, you will definitely lose a lot of users. However, in the development period, it is very popular now, but if you really want to charge for them, you will definitely lose a lot of users.
It's the wireless operators who hate the app the most, with 5 billion dollars of SMS revenue in the past year. These operators used to make a lot of money by charging for each message.
If you don't want to make money, then how can Andy Smith, who has no profit and can't get up early, miss any chance to make money.
However, he also knows that this is definitely not a good time to charge. For his plan of third-party payment platform, wasp will continue to pay for free.
"It seems that Starbucks' acquisition must begin!"
After making a decision, Andy coughed twice, making the whole conference room quiet, leaning forward, putting his hands and fingers crossed on the conference table, looking around for a week, he said to all his staff: "first of all, I repeat again that our company has no pressure to make money at present. I hope you can win 500 million to 1 billion users in the next three years.As for the company's profitability, I've considered it for a long time. However, at present, it's not the time to take it out, because our user base is still too small, so we should not be anxious to make profits. We are still a new company, and we need to settle down to continue to develop and promote. "
As the developer and owner of wasp, since Andy Smith has made a statement, his people will not talk about anything naturally. The charging side also hopes to let the company have profit means to improve the market value of wasp and prepare for the first round of financing in the future.
But for now, it seems that the big boss is not ready to raise money.
At the end of the meeting, Andy sat alone in the conference room, frowning slightly, and his pen was writing on a piece of paper quickly.
official account, using the public account platform to carry out self media activities, simply means carrying out one to many media activities, and helping enterprises communicate with users to get income.
This is Andy's service project to be launched after he has a sufficient user base in vatip, so as to create a better user experience and form a different ecological cycle. Through the two development of the official account, the business can display the official website, membership, push, activity, registration, sharing, name card, etc., and form a mainstream interactive marketing mode. The service provider can be charged to the business enterprises that apply for public numbers.
Of course, the most important thing is to promote the third-party payment platform that he still follows in the shadow by using the combination of online and offline of wasp. After the completion of Starbucks acquisition, he is ready to start burning money to promote new applications!
