Chapter 2464 Burn After Reading

The Meitu sharing company in the previous life, that is, Instagram, was acquired by Facebook early on. Although 10 dollars seemed a lot at the time, it far underestimated the growth potential of Instagram.

The outside world was lamenting at the time that if we persisted for another year, or even half a year, the 1 billion US dollars would have to be doubled.

It's a pity that there was no if in the previous life, not to mention that Instagram was included in Facebook's pocket, and its functions and status were constantly weakened by Facebook, which made it cheaper for another photo sharing software company.

It is the Snapchat company.

This name may not be very familiar to everyone, but when it comes to its Chinese name, young people should suddenly realize, "So it is it."

The Chinese name of Snapchat is Burn After Reading.

The application principle and gameplay of Burn After Reading are very simple.

You add your friends through the software, and then you can send your edited pictures, videos, text, etc. to your friends.

This is not the most creative place, the flash point is in its name.

If you only want your friends to take a look at some of your private photos and don’t want him to keep them, then the function of the software that burns after reading comes out.

The software can set a time, and within 1-10 seconds after you send the photo, the photo will be automatically destroyed and will not be saved by your friends as screenshots, even if your friends try to save it in this short period of time, you Everyone will be notified of who is trying to save the picture.

If you don't have a very three-dimensional sense, let's give an example.

For example, the big cousin in "The Hunger Games", if she likes to take pictures very much, taking pictures of her graceful figure, but looking at these pictures alone, there is no joy of sharing, nor can people see her beauty. A little too boring.

But if you send it to your friends to share, let them admire how good your figure is. I am also afraid that some friends with ulterior motives will directly repost or sell it to those tabloids, ruining my reputation.

But it's different with Burn After Reading.

The big cousin can take a lot of large-scale photos, and then send them to friends, and give them 5 seconds to watch, and then they will disappear immediately after reading.

Usually this time allows them to see clearly, but also makes it too late for them to react. Can't even save it.

In this way, the goal can be achieved without revealing large-scale photos of oneself, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Whether you call it narcissism or exhibitionism, there are countless people who like to do it anyway, not just celebrities, young people especially like this fresh and exciting way of sharing photos.

Therefore, it created a fire after reading it.

Xiao Qi recalled that in a report at the end of 2013, the investigative agency pointed out that the photos shared by Americans uploaded every day. 49% went to Facebook, 21% went to Instagram, and the remaining 30% went to the company that has only been established for more than two years.

This is still in the case of burning after reading without much funds for development. If it has sufficient funds, I am afraid that Instagram and Facebook will be more preempted.

That's why November 2013. The reason why Facebook proposed a $3 billion acquisition of Fleeting After Reading.

It's a pity that this acquisition proposal was rejected by the two young founders without hesitation. From this, we can also know how big their ambitions are.

I dare not say that it will develop into another Facebook, but it is also reasonable to become a large network electronics company worth 20 billion US dollars.

In the previous life, it disappeared after reading it. I had an idea at the beginning of 2011, and it started to go online in September 2011. Even if the idea was a little earlier, it would not be before 2010.

And Xiao Qi went to the United States as early as 2007. It has already registered a series of ideas for future network electronics companies, including this one that burns after reading.

Now I see that Meitu Sharing has a trend of development and growth. Xiao Qi felt that it should be burned after reading.

Because Xiao Qi thought about it before, now that Yang Xiaona has become his own woman, he should also buy her a private property, which is a very good asset that burns after reading it.

Hoffman in front of him is an expert, at this moment Xiao Qi can ask him if the time has come.

Listening to Xiao Qi talking about the whole idea that burns after reading, Hoffman, who was originally very relaxed, opened his mouth wide, looking stunned.

After a long time, he drank the ice water in front of him in one gulp, and stretched out his thumb: "Xiao Qi, I think I'm smart enough, but you hit me again and again, and you really don't want to give others a chance to live." Ah! Your idea that burns after reading is at least 5 billion US dollars. You can definitely look forward to 10 billion US dollars! How does your brain grow? You are so smart that you are not afraid of being caught in the future. Slice study?"

"Bah, bah, I'm not Einstein!" Xiao Qi trembled all over, "Don't curse me there!"

"Haha, who told you that you are so smart that people are afraid?" Hoffman smiled happily when he saw him frightened. "That's good, you look a bit ordinary."

"Stop talking nonsense, what do you think of me setting up Burn After Reading?" Xiao Qi asked again.

"There are advantages and disadvantages." Hoffman is a professional after all, and he has already weighed it in his heart. "The advantage is that the sooner you develop, the faster you can grab more market share and become more popular." Get up. The disadvantage is that it has some overlap with Meitu Sharing, and it is better than Meitu Sharing. If you want Meitu Sharing to develop better, you might as well wait until Meitu Sharing reaches 300 million fixed users before starting to enter market."

As he said this, Xiao Qi also came to his senses.

indeed.

In addition to the function of burning after reading, the company also has the picture sharing function of Meitu sharing. In this case, there is one more practical function than others. After Instagram was acquired by Facebook, the burning after reading , When I didn't pay much attention to Instagram, I took the opportunity to develop and grow, but also by virtue of my own strength.

Of course, Instagram is actually developing pretty well, but it has not reached the expected height, which is much worse than burning after reading.

The present is different from the previous life.

Meitu sharing and ephemeral are both Xiao Qi's industries.

If you want to prevent them from fighting each other and fighting each other, then you must come up with a balance point.

Hoffman saw through the mystery at a glance.

If Meitu Sharing and Burn After Reading go together, Burn After Reading will definitely gain the upper hand.

However, if Meitu Sharing has gained a firm foothold first, and after gaining enough loyal users, it will burn after reading and seize the market. It will not shake Meitu Sharing’s market position too much, but will seize Facebook’s market more.

There is no need to expect too much, as long as Facebook, Meitu sharing, and disappearing after reading can be three points in the world.

Besides, the world is so big, three photo sharing websites can still accommodate it.

"Okay, then don't worry about burning after reading for the time being." Xiao Qi nodded and said, "When the number of Meitu sharing users reaches 250 million, we will start preparing for the burning after reading project."

"Smart move." Hoffman said with a smile.

Hoffman believes that Xiao Qi has a very good habit, that is, he can listen to well-intentioned suggestions, and he is not a tyrant like Gangzhu Qiao.

Such a habit can help Xiao Qi achieve success in many fields, and will not cause conflicts between investors and entrepreneurial teams because of his stubbornness and professional disputes.

You must know that the contradiction between investors and entrepreneurial teams is definitely the biggest contradiction in e-commerce, and it usually ends with one party failing and withdrawing in the end.

Although Xiao Qi founded several high-value electronic companies in the United States, Xiao Qi did not take care of them himself, so the entrepreneurial team will have various opinions with him. If the pressure is applied, he will definitely win, but the company's shock caused by it is not what a mature company should experience.

However, until now, Xiao Qi has never had any conflicts with them. It has to be said that this is where Xiao Qi is smart and wise.

He didn't know that the reason why Xiao Qi was so talkative was that these ideas were not his at all, so he lost the idea that he had to grasp them firmly, and he just believed in professionals more and didn't interfere.

"By the way, Michael Jackson is going to hold a concert in Huaguo in July and August. Please prepare tickets for at least five concerts for me. I will bring my wife to listen." Hoffman said, "Oh, I don't know. I feel like 20 years have passed, when I first heard Michael Jackson's concert, I was still a handsome guy, now I'm just fat!"

Michael Jackson made his debut very early. When he was a few years old, he performed on the stage with his brothers. Now he has an acting career of more than 40 years. It is not just a generation who grew up listening to his songs.

Xiao Qi nodded with a smile, "You're really bored by flying here to watch the concert."

"Why is it boring? It's a hobby of life, it's romance! Do you understand?" Hoffman said contemptuously, "I don't know how you got so many beauties. You don't have any romantic cells. Do you think about work and money later?"

Yes, and despised.

Xiao Qi didn't argue with him either, but he was also reminding himself.

After your reincarnation and rebirth experience is used up, you must spend more time with your family, otherwise life will be hard for a lifetime, and I really don’t know why! (to be continued ~^~)
