Chapter 396: Cut off a part anyway (4139)
Da Mimi wrapped a towel around her head. She usually doesn't use a hair dryer for fear of hair loss, so she lets her hair dry naturally when she has no notice.
As soon as I came out of the bathroom, I heard Black Widow screaming in surprise while holding her cell phone.
"What are you looking at? Who in Hollywood has been exposed?" Da Mimi came over wrapped in a big bath towel as if she was walking on the catwalk. She peeked at the screen of Black Widow's phone and took a photo of her.
After fighting together many times, the two of them actually developed a bit of a fake friendship.
"You are a good makeup artist. What's your name? Please introduce yourself." Da Mimi's eyes widened when she saw Black Widow's image on the phone screen.
Scarlett, whose life essence has been enhanced, has originally returned to her heyday, but looking at this video, she is even more pure and charming, more seductive than those amazing pictures of her that are widely circulated on the Internet.
"This is a new APP released by Ysou, don't you know?" Scarlett raised her eyebrows at Da Mimi with a look of pride on her face.
What do you think? Am I more favored by the Lord?
Da Mimi couldn't help but roll her eyes. What are you proud of? I'm in Da Zhou and you're in Mai Country. Fang Yu can't fly, so how could I have done it more times than you, a foreign woman?
Are you stupid? Not only can I fly, I can also teleport.
A new app? Seeing Black Widow on the screen, which looked like a carefully edited blockbuster movie, Da Mimi glanced at Fang Yu who was laughing beside her.
"This app is called Tabo, and Y searched for it. Oh, it was created by Zhou Shuzi, the person I interviewed last time in Xinhao." Fang Yu explained.
"Are you interested in being one of the first celebrities to be featured on Taboo?"
"Ta broadcast? What APP is it?" Da Mimi became interested, took the phone from Scarlett and started fiddling with it.
"Live streaming and short videos, Zhou Shuzi said, are really hot right now. He wants to use short videos, live streaming, and Y search to drive traffic. I analyzed it and thought it was a good idea, so I asked the application team to develop one. It's still in internal testing, and we expect it to be officially launched at the end of next month."
“I heard that ByteDance is also developing a short video platform, which will be released around this time. It will depend on which one can attract more users.”
Fang Yu demonstrated the function of Ta broadcasting to Da Mimi.
As they were patting, the bath towel on Da Mimi disappeared.
"I will destroy you on behalf of the moon!" In the short video, Da Mimi made a transformation into a moon hare, and then her body was shining, and the Guardian Type 7 amulet on her chest emitted a dazzling light. When the light dissipated, she did not turn into a sailor suit, but a few ropes appeared on her body.

Since joining Ysou, Zhou Shuzi has been looking for ways to monetize Ysou.
After all, the statement of not accepting medical advertisements has been made, and it is impossible to go back on one's word, and Fang Yu is unlikely to agree to take on this kind of business.
Advertisements from other industries can be accepted, but the profits will be much lower than those from the medical sector.
It is certainly possible to make money, but having the powerful weapon of AI but only making a little money from selling cabbages is a bit too incompetent.
In the current Internet economy, advertising marketing is undoubtedly one of the largest sources of income, accounting for about 40% of the overall Internet-related income.
Cloud services and B2B business account for about 15%.
Streaming, audio, novels and news subscriptions account for about ten percent.
The remaining 35 percent is e-commerce.
It can be said that no matter how the business model of Internet companies changes, they always remain essentially focused on these areas and are competing for food in a big pot.
Even though Ysou is a new generation search engine with AI as its core, it is no exception.
Among the previous generation of Internet giants, each one focused on different areas.
For example, Qianxun relies on pure search advertising as its core source of revenue.
Ali is engaged in e-commerce, B2B and cloud services, and at the same time, it takes away a part of the advertising market through e-commerce.
Tencent focuses on subscription and content payment. Whether it is ball membership, games, or the acquisition of the leading online literature platform, everything is done around this core point, and this core point is then used to intervene to share the advertising profits.
But Zhou Shuzi believes that times have changed.
Now is the era of traffic.
Whoever controls the traffic is equivalent to controlling the bridgehead of the two huge markets of advertising and e-commerce.
For the first time in the history of the Internet industry, a true oligopoly of advertising + e-commerce + content payment may emerge, which can monopolize more than 80% of the market size.
Therefore, if Ysou wants to become a real giant, it must control traffic!
E-commerce and advertising rely on traffic, but at the same time, e-commerce and advertising can also bring traffic.
It all depends on how it is operated.
Since Taobao launched its live streaming e-commerce service three months ago, live streaming e-commerce has become a new trend on the Internet, and countless e-commerce companies have begun to test the waters in this new track on a small scale.
Any innovation in business model is based on the advancement and popularization of technology.
The business model must match the development and popularization of social technology, otherwise it will die.
This is just like the case with live streaming sales.
Without the rapid development of mobile Internet, live streaming with goods would be out of the question and would still be the same old routine as TV live streaming.
In fact, four years ago, some PC live streaming platforms have tried to sell goods through live streaming.
For example, YY and DouYu.
But because the conditions were not mature at the time, it didn't make any waves, and in the end it had to rely on just getting on the edge, and Dou Yu San Sao became famous in the world.
Six years ago, the Internet penetration rate in Dazhou was only 34.3%, which included very light Internet users and Internet cafe users who only played online games.
But now, six years later, with the rapid development of 4G, the number of internet users in Dazhou has exceeded 700 million! Among them, mobile internet users account for 695 million, accounting for 95.1% of the total number of netizens!
The huge scale of mobile Internet users, the popularity of mobile payments, the increase in network speed...the prerequisites for live streaming sales have now been completely met!
In the past month or two, several anchors on Taobao have become very popular. One of them is called Wei An, who even sold 20 million worth of goods in a live broadcast last week!
Once there is a benchmark, more people will start to become anchors.
People from all walks of life began to flock to this track. The quality of the anchors varied greatly, and the goods they sold were not guaranteed.
Various energetic young men and female employees in the KTV industry who were optimized by the industry at the age of 34 and can no longer work in technical positions but cannot get management positions have found new ways to make money.
Live streaming + short videos are beginning to be considered the next trend.
In this era of great contention, many heroes emerge, and almost all major Internet companies have started to develop their own live broadcast and short video platforms.
Zhou Shuzi carefully analyzed the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities and threats of Ysou in the two business segments of e-commerce and advertising.
Ysou Smart Selection and short video live streaming platform are the entry points for him to enter these two business segments!
The so-called Ysou Smart Selection is similar to the Zhuchang Yanxuan that was launched more than three months ago. However, the difference between it and Zhuchang Yanxuan is that Ysou Smart Selection relies on its powerful search integration capabilities and AI to comprehensively analyze the specific information of various merchants on the Internet to screen out merchants that are not well-known but have the highest quality, good reputation and reasonable prices.
With the support of Youzi Technology, Ysou has established a "reputation analysis model" to screen merchants, set up a dynamic scoring system for all merchants, and combined customer reviews, sales, brand history and other factors to form a "product value index."
Then, we make a comprehensive assessment based on various dimensions and select the companies with the greatest value for cooperation.
This part of merchants includes not only e-commerce companies, but also many traditional manufacturing companies. The first batch selected by Ysou includes about 1,800 companies, which is roughly equivalent to one percent of Dazhou's consumer goods production and sales companies.
Among these 1,800 companies, there are no giants in the consumer industry. Most of them are companies with good reputation, reliable quality, advanced technology but poor marketing.
Ysou Zhixuan's product selection logic is not a simple parameter screening, but a comprehensive judgment of merchants and products by AI based on "human" logic.
A company may be larger in scale and have stronger qualifications in all aspects, with complete certifications such as ISO9001 and 14001, but its "product value index" is not as good as that of a smaller company with less good qualifications.
In this regard, even the employees of Ysou and Youzi Technology cannot be completely sure what the "goodwill analysis model" is based on to make its judgment.
But actual verification shows that this small company with lesser qualifications does have better products and services than the large company with better qualifications.
Afterwards, Zhou Shuzi sent Ysou's business team to conduct further research and negotiations with these 1,800 companies, and introduced them into the Ysou Smart Selection brand library. When users search for related products, Ysou will give priority to recommending them and directing them to Taobao stores or other online shopping malls.
Of course, this is just the first step. Once Ysou Zhixuan establishes its own e-commerce team, users can place orders directly on Ysou.
The first batch of 1,800 companies will have a 45-day free cooperation period, and no fees will be charged during these 45 days.
After forty-five days, if the company agrees to continue cooperation, Ysou will take 30% of the profits it obtains through the Ysou channel based on the traffic sharing method.
Ta broadcast is another support for these 1,800 enterprises.
Ysou will provide these companies with a real AI digital human anchor in the live broadcast rooms of Taomao and Tabo, providing these companies with 24-hour uninterrupted live broadcast services.
In addition to being a short video and live streaming platform, Tabo also has built-in AI creation tools to help creators better create videos and copy. In particular, the beauty and body effects can no longer be considered beauty, it is a scam!
Tabo is expected to be officially launched at the end of August when the school starts. Currently, many people in the Ysou and Youzi Technology teams are trying out this app every day with a smile on their faces and self-deception.
There's no way, I look much better in the app than in real life.
In the beauty effects he broadcast, in addition to the simple beauty solutions of whitening, smoothing the skin, blurring the eyes, making the waist thin and the legs lengthened, there is also a "real me" option.
If you select this option, the beauty effects he/she broadcasts will become AI intelligent beauty effects. There will be no traces of skin smoothing or whitening. Everything will be so natural, just like it was taken with the original camera. However, you will look more handsome or beautiful in the videos and photos.
You are still you, but you are not you.
What’s more, this thing can even beautify specific people in the video.
For example, if there are five or six people in a group, you only need to click on one person's head, and only that person will be real me in the video.
A 15-second short video takes about 45 seconds to process, and the AI calculations mainly use the local computing power of the mobile phone. Therefore, some older mobile phones such as Apple 4S or processors before Snapdragon 810 cannot use realme functions.
As for live streaming, for anchors who have opened a "realme" membership, the server they broadcast from will optimize the picture in real time.
For live broadcasts of beauty products and other products that can easily mislead customers due to AI optimization, realme will not open this function, and will mark the "original image" logo in the upper right corner of the live broadcast and sliced ads.
Fang Yu was speechless after seeing this thing.
The AI I created, the most important revolution in the history of human technology, is for you to use for this?
It's so fucking ironic, this is not the real me, it's clearly fake me, then it became fxxk me, and finally became RNM.
But he also knew that this kind of fun would happen sooner or later, it was just a matter of sooner or later.
In this case, the emergence of Tabo is undoubtedly a dimensionality reduction blow to the newly emerging short video and live broadcast industry!
There is also a built-in search module in Tabo. If the user wants to search for something after watching a video, there is no need to switch to another app. You can search directly on Tabo.
In this way, search and live streaming attract each other, advertising and e-commerce promote each other, and Ysou must take a piece of these two biggest pieces of cake in the Internet industry.
Especially the creamy part.
Fang Yu scraped a piece of cream from Scarlett and Da Mimi and put it into his mouth.
Well, it tastes good. You can tell it’s not plant-based cream as soon as you taste it. It’s healthy.
——
"Take care of your health? Seven days! It's already been seven days! We haven't even found the cause of the problem yet, and you're telling me to take care of my health!?"
“Whoa! Bang!”
Robert Lee waved his hand and swept the notebook, cell phone and water cup on the table to the ground.
The young assistant looked at Robert Lee in front of him in silence and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Where is Yuan Shanjun? It's already this late, why hasn't he come to the company yet? How does he lead the team?" Robert Lee's face was covered with stubble, his eyes were bloodshot, and he even emitted an unpleasant odor. It was obvious that he hadn't had a good rest for several days. Where was the shadow of the gentle and elegant most handsome CEO?
The assistant was stunned and subconsciously took two steps back again: "Mr. Yuan? Have you forgotten? Mr. Yuan has been away for more than three months."
Robert Lee hit his head hard.
Yes, Yuan Shanjun has been away from his job for more than three months.
Just over three months?
It feels like it was a long time ago.
So much has happened in these three months.
Could it be that Chihiro's luck has really run out?
No, this is impossible. It's just a small glitch. Chihiro can't be finished like this.
Robert Lee pinched his throbbing temples and was about to ask his assistant to call Sheng Bin, who replaced Yuan Shanjun, to come and ask about the troubleshooting situation when he heard a knock on the office door.
