Of course, additional investment may be made in the later stage depending on the situation.
Now Meng Zhaolong is discussing with several producers every day, creating a detailed budget and casting roles.
"I investigated Jiang Youxi, and it's okay for him to play the role of Tang Feng. Also, Brother Du, can you find Lu Siyuan and ask her to play the role of Axiang."
Du Caige's expression changed immediately.He said lightly: "I don't know her well."
After rebuffing it straight away, Du Caige thought to himself, Meng Zhaolong's EQ is really low.
Who is Lu Siyuan?She was one of Lin Ke's rumored girlfriends back then.
Although Lu Siyuan did not appear in those popular little videos and photos.
But Du Caige knew that the original owner really had an affair with her.
So how could the current Du Caige deal with her again!
Will be beaten to death by Duan Xiaochen and Yan Yingzhen, okay?
It's too late to hide.
Meng Zhaolong thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I didn't think carefully. Otherwise, I'll go to Mrs. Duan. Her acting skills are good enough for this role, she's famous enough, and she's pretty enough. I need to trouble Duan Brother, you can also help me say a few words."
"Let me try." Du Caige didn't say anything dead, but was really wary of Meng Zhaolong, worried that he would make trouble.
"For the role of Tang Ren, I will contact a few actors to try it out recently. Brother Du, do you want to come and watch it together?"
"Okay, call me when the time comes. The role of Tang Ren is indeed the most important role in this play. Other roles can be sloppy or sloppy. This role must be chosen carefully."
Du Caige is implying that Meng Zhaolong, if he wants to make some unspoken rules, or wants to sell face to someone, other characters can be used, even the role of Tang Feng can not be given to Jiang Youxi, but the role of Tang Ren is absolutely not Restless.
It's just that Du Caige is a little worried. Meng Zhaolong's EQ is so low, could he not understand his hints?
Then the two discussed the plot and character design, and when it was almost noon, Du Caige got up and left.
He made an appointment with Fan Youqiao's group, invited Fan Youqiao's team to dinner at noon, and then had a private chat with Fan Youqiao after the meal.
In the box, there was smoke, even the two girls, Peng Shanong and A Sa, were smoking.
Peng Sunong is very particular about smoking, holding the cigarette gently between his fingers and middle fingers, and smiling.
Today Du Caige came as a representative of the capital, and he is nominally a shareholder of Juzhi Investment.
So several young people were more enthusiastic towards him than last time, and kept persuading him to drink.Being with this group of young people, Du Caige also felt quite relaxed, and unconsciously drank a little more than usual.
Under the dual effects of alcohol and smoke refraction, everyone's face seemed to be deformed.
However, he still has basic self-control, and when he feels the limit, he refuses to drink no matter how much he persuades him.
The sexy Peng Sunong kept trying to get on him, and he didn't seem to mind being eaten tofu by him at all. Du Caige felt that this battle was wrong, so he excused himself to go to the bathroom, went to pay the bill, and waited for half an hour before returning box.
"Brother, you run away halfway through drinking, what is that!" Fan Youqiao said with a smile, his tone was not dissatisfied, just a little teasing.
He didn't wear women's clothing or make-up today, just wearing very neutral clothes, a plaid long-sleeved shirt, cropped pants, and tennis shoes under his feet.
"I can't drink enough, so I can't compete with you young people. Let's find a place to chat alone?"
"Let Ah Sa listen to it too. She is my technical backbone. No matter what you want to talk to me about, you need her to cooperate with me to implement it."
Du Caige took a look at Ah Sa.
This girl with exquisite facial features still wears a strong smoky makeup, which is a pity, after all, her eyebrows and eyes are actually quite delicate.
She was wearing a tight black vest, a short black coat, and dark puffy trousers.
An ordinary figure is not attractive at all.
At this time, she looked back at Du Caige expressionlessly, and there was no emotion in her cold eyes.
"Okay," Du Caige said, "I booked a room upstairs."
The place where they ate was a five-star restaurant. Du Caige considered that inviting them to dinner was to show his importance to them, so the venue he chose should be a little more expensive and high-end, and it was not suitable for a restaurant with good taste.
So in the end I chose this hotel.
"A Sa, come here." Fan Youqiao greeted.
A Sa followed without saying a word.
When we got to the room, Fan Youqiao jokingly said, "Brother, why don't you just book a standard room? I'm so disappointed, I thought I had a presidential suite to enjoy."
"I'm not rich. I'm just looking for a private place to talk. What kind of presidential suite do I want? I'll ask you to be an SA later with the money saved." Du Caige said casually.
"Brother is so interesting!" Fan Youqiao walked around the room and sat in a chair.
Ah Sa, on the other hand, sat down on the bed without looking at it.
Du Caige sat on the single sofa, and threw the unopened pack of cigarettes he just bought on the coffee table. "You can smoke if you want, I don't mind."
"Without alcohol, smoking is meaningless." Fan Youqiao smiled and pushed the cigarette back.
After a pause, he said, "Brother, let's get straight to the point. What's your opinion on our Xunyin?"
Chapter 338
Du Caige came here today not to chat, but to have a serious talk with Fan Youqiao about the product.
So straight to the point, it was exactly what he wanted.
"Well, I have a lot of opinions. Let's start with the name. The name 'Xunyin' is not bad. It has rich connotations and is appropriate, but it is a bit awkward to pronounce. It can be changed to a better one."
Fan Youqiao was not angry, and said with a smile, "Oh, brother, do you have any suggestions?"
"'Xunyin' has the meaning of speed, and at the same time, it also means a message. To convey a message, a message, quickly. The name you named contains this meaning, right?"
Fan Youqiao nodded, "En."
"Let me tell you a name, WeChat. You think about it."
Fan Youqiao read it twice, "WeChat...WeChat..."
Suddenly his eyes lit up, "Interesting! Letter means communication, information. Micro means small, short, and subtle. When you see this name, you will think of short, small, fragmented, and very fast information exchange. Especially with After the product 'Weibo', people will be more accepting of the name 'WeChat'."
He looked up at Du Caige, his eyes full of admiration, "Brother, a writer is a writer, and the level of naming is much higher than ours."
Du Caige didn't have the habit of blushing, but he still felt a little hot.
"Ahem, let's continue discussing the product."
"Brother En, tell me!" Fan Youqiao obviously looked forward to it even more.He did not say whether he would adopt the name “WeChat.”
Du Caige didn't expect this kid to listen [-]% to his persuasion.
He glanced at Ah Sa, the girl was sitting quietly on the bedside, always looking very indifferent, as if she was not interested in anything.
In fact, he only wanted to communicate with Fan Youqiao alone, because some creative things are very easy to imitate.
If Ah Sa leaks this idea in advance, it will be a major setback for this social a of Tenda Network.
Unless this a has already occupied half of the country and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is not afraid of others imitating and plagiarizing.
But now, this newly born a is still very fragile. If giants such as ll company know about these ideas and copy them directly, then this "Xunyin" will be dead.
But Fan Youqiao trusted Ah Sa very much, so Du Caige couldn't say anything.
After deliberating for a while, he said: "I saw the beta version released by your 'Xunyin', and tried it out."
"Oh, what do you think bro?"
"It's not good," Du Caige shook his head and said, "Such a product is not worth giving up ll. The current 'Xunyin' is better than the mobile version of ll, but it's not good enough to convince me. I give up my connections on ll."
"You have to know that it took me many years to form a network and add friends. There are real friends, colleagues, former classmates, netizens, old lovers, and online dating objects. Although I have no contact now, But maybe one day I want to contact you again?"
For the first time, Ah Sa showed an obvious expression, she pursed her lips, a little unhappy.
Fan Youqiao rested his chin on his hand and listened intently.
His slender, white and tender fingers subconsciously slid across his cheeks and lips, adding a touch of enchanting beauty to him.
"Uh, what my brother said makes sense. Then what's your suggestion?" Of course he wouldn't pay attention to Du Caige's "old lover, online dating partner" because it was obvious that Du Caige was just giving an example to ordinary users.
For many ordinary users, there is indeed such a rigid need.
Moreover, most users don't want to change to another social software just because they are afraid of trouble, which has been proved several times by those Internet giants who lost to LL.
How to win new registered users and keep them is a long-standing problem.
That's why Fan Youqiao made up his mind to do this.
Because he saw an opportunity in it.
What others cannot and is difficult to do, if I do it, it will be difficult for you to imitate.This is his train of thought.
It is not difficult to develop new registered users, just burn money.
But how to keep them?
Then there must be a good interactive experience and irreplaceable functions.
"Let's not talk about suggestions first," Du Caige said, "Let me ask you, now you have an ll account, you can usually log in to ll, chat with your colleagues, friends, old lovers, online dating partners, and your parents who are thousands of kilometers away Make a voice call."
"At the same time, with your ll account, you can log in to the games you like to play, to the forums and post bars you frequent, to Weiguang Weibo, and to Yuanguang Video Network with one click."
"You meet someone you can chat with in forums and post bars, on Weibo, and in games, and you can easily add her as a ll friend. So your ll friend list keeps getting longer and longer."
"Then tell me, what do I have to pay to make you give up ll and start your network again with another social a?"
Fan Youqiao thought for a while, and touched her lips with her fingers, "It's difficult, and I've thought about it too. Mrs. Yan once said something that made me think deeply. She said she was doing social networking, but in the end she found out that it was actually doing ecology. So first, I have to let My social a has some irreplaceable, very convenient and easy-to-use functions."
"Secondly, I need to find a partner quickly so that my A can be associated with the hottest games, the most popular forums, Weibo, and video sites."
"In the end, it's best to have a way to allow my social network to migrate all LL friends over. Of course, I know this is unrealistic." Speaking of this, Fan Youqiao smiled wryly, "Even if I pay 10 billion, LL wouldn't even sell the data."
"No, you are wrong." Du Caige said with a smile.
"Forehead?"
"I won't sell it for 100 billion. Half of ll's value lies in his data."
"Well, I know."
Fan Youqiao looked up at Du Caige humbly asking for advice: "Brother, before I started 'WeChat', I knew it would be difficult. But no matter how difficult it is, since I have already embarked on this road, There is absolutely no reason to back down."
"But brother, Mr. Yan said, you can save me a lot of detours. Of course I am happy to avoid detours! So don't hide it, brother. If you have any good suggestions, you can tell me, too. Shareholders of the company, my hard work is also making money for you, isn't it?"
He deliberately used "WeChat" to replace "Xunyin", which means that he will seriously consider every suggestion of Du Caige and accept almost all of it.
Du Caige understood what he meant.
"Then let me make a few small suggestions. If you adopt it, or at least part of it, I will have more suggestions later. If you don't adopt it, it doesn't matter, we are still friends, let's seek common ground while reserving differences."
"Well, brother, tell me." Fan Youqiao smiled happily.
"First of all, three words. Light, concise, and beautiful." Du Caige stopped after speaking a short sentence, letting Fan Youqiao think.
Fan Youqiao was thoughtful.
And Ah Sa also showed a thoughtful expression for the first time.
After a while, Fan Youqiao shook his head lightly, with a wry smile: "Brother, if you don't say it, we'll really be in a misunderstanding. We always want to have multiple functions and comprehensiveness. We want this and that. "
Du Caige smiled: "So now you think lightness and simplicity are important?"
"Yes," Fan Youqiao said frankly, "I thought of the name 'WeChat', Wei, which originally has a streamlined meaning in it."
"Thinking of Weibo again, why can Weibo easily defeat traditional blogs? With such a fast pace of modern life, people don't need to be big and comprehensive, but simple and small."
"Yes, brother, you are right. We will start construction immediately when we go back, optimize the product, and use 'lightness, simplicity and beauty' as the new product standard."
Du Caige was in a strange mood.
Before, he felt that Fan Youqiao was young and promising, and before he graduated from university, he made money that many people would never make in their lifetime.
This child should be at the time when he is arrogant and frivolous, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to listen to other people's opinions.
That's why he was very hesitant to invest in Tenda Network.
But only now that I got in touch with it, I realized that Fan Youqiao was so open-minded and listened to persuasion.
In ancient times, Fan Youqiao had at least some qualities similar to Liu Bang and Li Shimin.
Can accommodate people.
Can accept remonstrance.
With such qualities, Fan Youqiao definitely has the opportunity to become an excellent corporate helm.
