Zhang Xiaolong was very excited today.
Outsiders all thought that he had led his team to develop a new blockbuster product.
But only Zhang Xiaolong himself knew that the entire product design, planning, and functional suggestions were inseparable from the young man in front of him.
It can be said that Zhang Xiaolong is the only one who personally witnessed how Chen Fan created a hit chat software.
It has been soaring since its launch, achieving remarkable success.
Even Tencent, which boasts a history of product competition failures, suffered a defeat this time.
What impressed Zhang Xiaolong the most were the wildly imaginative ideas in Chen Fan's mind.
Every creative idea proposed by Chen Fan can cause a frenzy among users.
From voice chat to message in a bottle, to shake-to-win... each one is a brilliant idea.
Don't be fooled by how simple these creative features seem; it is precisely these simple ideas that have allowed Flying Pigeon to differentiate itself from other companies' products.
Zhang Xiaolong's admiration for Chen Fan was genuine and heartfelt.
So when we met today, he was extremely respectful.
First, I toured the business unit's office floor, and then I had a meeting with a group of management personnel.
Zhang Xiaolong then introduced Flying Pigeon's current achievements and its future research and development focus.
When it was Chen Fan's turn to speak, he first affirmed everyone's achievements, and then began to talk about the focus of the next version's research and development.
According to Chen Fan, Flying Pigeon has indeed achieved some success, and everyone can celebrate happily.
However, we must be prepared for unforeseen circumstances even in times of peace.
Because the opponents chasing behind haven't given up.
If we become complacent, our competitors will not give us a chance. They will definitely take the opportunity to squeeze us out of the market and take away all the users we have.
After the meeting, Chen Fan and a group of executives went to a hotel for a meal.
Throughout the entire process, Chen Fan was very easygoing and polite.
Almost all of the senior executives at 놇座 are Zhang Xiaolong's confidants, and they came here with Zhang Xiaolong from Tencent.
It can be said that although Zhang Xiaolong admired Chen Fan, many people in this group were actually unconvinced.
They couldn't understand why Zhang Xiaolong would leave a perfectly good job at Tencent and instead switch to Ruofan Group.
They didn't know much about Ruofan Group, and Chen Fan was so young.
Although the group was on a strong growth trajectory at the time, no one could predict its future potential.
As a result, in just two or three years, these people admired Chen Fan to the point of complete awe.
They had never seen a boss in the world who could trust someone to this extent.
Not only did they give Zhang Xiaolong enough trust, but they also completely let go and handed over the Yangcheng business unit to Zhang Xiaolong to take charge of, without even sending a trusted confidant.
With such absolute trust, what subordinate wouldn't be moved?
Is this what they mean by "a scholar would die for a wise man"?
After the meal, the group of executives dispersed, and Chen Fan left Zhang Xiaolong alone to rest and relax in the coffee shop upstairs in the hotel.
The waiter brought over the coffee, and Chen Fan smiled and raised his cup in a gesture of greeting.
"I won't lie to you when we talk. Even though I'm a boss, my preferences are still a bit different from those of the average boss."
“I don’t like golf, I don’t smoke cigars, I don’t like coffee, I don’t join the Chamber of Commerce, and I really don’t attend dinner parties… In the business world, I’m more like an outlier.”
Zhang Xiaolong picked up his cup of coffee, took a sip, and said with a smile.
"President Chen is a man who gets things done. Naturally, he wouldn't want to waste his time on meaningless things."
Chen Fan smiled and shook his head.
"Don't flatter me. Of course I know that in business, appropriate networking is beneficial to your company's development, but... I'm not comfortable with it."
"I still prefer to live a more carefree life when I'm alone."
Zhang Xiaolong nodded with a smile.
Actually, he had already discovered this a long time ago.
He was not much older than Chen Fan, and had seen quite a few big bosses in his generation.
But someone as unconventional as Chen Fan is truly a first for me.
Zhang Xiaolong even analyzed Chen Fan once.
How do you think a young man like him has created such a successful career?
Finally, Zhang Xiaolong came to a conclusion.
Besides ambition and vision, Chen Fan also always maintains a pure and honest heart.
Most business owners lose their ambition after their businesses reach hundreds of millions or even billions.
This is a threshold that a company can reach.
Some people start indulging in pleasure after they become rich, lose themselves, and end up not only losing their company but also their family being destroyed.
Those who are able to cross this threshold are undoubtedly big shots from large companies and corporations.
Chen Fan is that kind of person.
In the ensuing conversation, there was no hierarchical distinction between the two, and they spoke very casually. The topics they discussed were quite eclectic.
Zhang Xiaolong was curious about the photo-to-short-video generation application recently developed by Extraordinary Technology.
Chen Fan then smiled and explained the concept of new media to Zhang Xiaolong.
“In the future, people’s lives will become increasingly busy, and often users will not have the patience or time to watch a movie or a TV show.”
"Therefore, whoever can seize these fragmented moments of users' daily lives will be able to secure the ticket to the next wave of the internet."
"Fragmented time?"
Zhang Xiaolong's eyes lit up slightly, and he proposed a term.
Chen Fan smiled and nodded.
"Have you ever thought about this? What if we developed an app where every user could post their own photos or daily life content and generate short videos with a single click? Each video would only be a few seconds long. Very short, often when you open a video, it's already over before you even have time to react."
"When you go to the bathroom, when you're on the subway to work, when you're taking a break at noon, or before you go to bed at night... you can make full use of all your fragmented time."
"If all of this time is utilized, how many users can be attracted?"
Zhang Xiaolong's eyes lit up slightly, but then he asked a question.
How can we attract and retain users?
Chen Fan put down his cup and uttered a word.
"Big data recommendation".
Big data!
Zhang Xiaolong's expression became excited again.
Because Chen Fan had mentioned the concept of big data to him a long time ago.
At that time, he didn't understand, but now, after Chen Fan's explanation...
Zhang Xiaolong suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
If such big data recommendations are truly achievable, how far can Ruofan Group from being established develop?
It's simply unimaginable.
Looking at Chen Fan opposite him, Zhang Xiaolong felt a surge of turmoil in his heart.
It turns out that several years ago, when I first met Chen Fan, he had already proposed the concept of big data.
Could it be that he had already made plans for the current company's development since then?
If that's really the case... this young man is truly terrifying.
