Chapter 635 I Have a Dream

"You are Zhihu's number one expert on football. Is the ball flying?"

When Qiu Zaifei sat nervously in the conference room, he saw through the big screen in the conference room the shocked look of Young Master Huan in the United States, far across the Pacific Ocean, and he felt very embarrassed.

This was the first time he told others his online name.

Moreover, with so many people and leaders witnessing it, it would be a lie to say that it wasn't embarrassing.

But since Young Master Huan asked, I can't just not answer.

Therefore, Qiu Zaifei nodded awkwardly, "Yes, Master Huan, I am the one whose ball is flying!"

Almost everyone in the conference room wanted to laugh. Isn’t this scene of netizens meeting each other too funny?

Yang Huan laughed and nodded, "I've seen some of your tactical analysis articles on Zhihu. They're pretty good!"

Many people present were envious.

Damn, this guy got a thumbs up from Master Huan, looks like he’s going to get promoted and make a fortune!

If it were anyone else, they would definitely thank him happily, but Qiu Zaifei didn't do that.

"Master Huan, can I ask you a question?"

Yang Huan was obviously stunned, and so was everyone present.

This question is too impolite and too serious, isn't it?

"Of course, just ask!"

"How do European professional coaches and people in the European football circle think of what I wrote?"

Not to mention, Qiu Zaifei was very serious when asking these questions.

This proves that he attaches great importance to the answer to this question.

Yang Huan thought for a moment and said, "Among the coaches I know, no one will read your article. But as a layman, I think you only wrote some very superficial things."

Qiu Zaifei nodded with a look of humility, and it was obvious that he thought so too.

"When you have the chance in the future, you can bring a group of like-minded netizens to Southampton. I will arrange for you to communicate with the coaching staff and players. I believe it will be of great help to you!"

"Then, can we visit the Saint Laboratory?" Qiu Zaifei was excited.

"Saint Laboratory?" Yang Huan had never heard of this name.

"Well, it's like this. Milan has the Milan Laboratory, and the name of the Saints' institution in this area is too long, so we gave ourselves a name, called the Saints Laboratory!" Qiu Zaifei explained awkwardly.

Yang Huan smiled bitterly and said, Damn, this name sounds too fake, doesn’t it?

No matter from which angle you look at it, my Great Saint is now considered a leading figure in all aspects of professional football. Can you please not use such a copycat name?

"Master Huan, netizens across the country have heard that there are a lot of advanced technologies in the Saint Laboratory. We are all very yearning for it. Can you arrange for us to visit it?" Qiu Zaifei asked with a look of eagerness.

Yang Huan thought about it and said, "I have to make some arrangements for this, but it shouldn't be a problem!"

"Thank you, Master Huan!" Qiu Zaifei was full of surprise.

"I'll go to Hupu and Zhihu and spread the news right away. We'll go there as a group. We can form a group of at least 20 to 30 people, maybe even more!"

Yang Huan really didn't expect that Southampton would be so popular among this group of football experts in China. He was in a very good mood and immediately nodded in agreement, allowing Qiu Zaifei to go ahead and organize the team.

Everyone in the conference room felt embarrassed and helpless listening to the conversation between the two fanatical fans.

It turns out they have all become decorations!

I can't find any topics to participate in.

There's nothing we can do about it. Who can blame them for not understanding football at all?

"Let's get back to the topic. How did you become the number one football expert?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

"I have loved football since I was a child. When I was a baby, my father held me in his arms while watching football games. I have been reading professional sports newspapers since elementary school. I contributed articles and wrote columns for newspapers in middle school. I also studied football-related majors in college."

"Really?" Yang Huan didn't expect that.

Zhang Ning nodded on the side. In just a short while, all the information and resume about Qiu Zaifei were in her hands, so she could prove that what Qiu Zaifei said was absolutely right.

"But everyone knows about the domestic football environment, so I also learned the popular Internet product design, and successively interned and worked in many well-known domestic Internet companies. Last year, I joined WeChat."

Yang Huan doesn't care much about resumes, because they can only represent a person's past, not his present and future, but the latter is what he values ​​most.

"Master Huan, I have always had a dream."

"What dream?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

Damn, this kid actually thinks he is Martin Luther King!

"Chinese football cannot go abroad, but I want to make a professional football software to represent China and go abroad!"

When he said this, Qiu Zaifei, who had been nervous before, suddenly became sonorous and powerful.

The weakness of the Chinese national football team is a pain in the hearts of all Chinese people who love football.

It's not surprising that he has such a wish.

From the fact that he has been constantly collecting various materials and perfecting his ideas over the past decade, it is not difficult to see how firm his determination is and how much effort he is willing to put in for this.

"Then tell me your specific ideas!" Yang Huan said with interest.

Qiu Zaifei nodded, but fell into deep thought, obviously trying to sort out his thoughts first.

"First of all, I think that the number of fans in our country is quite large, but in the era of mobile Internet, such a large group of people cannot have a high-quality mobile application software. I personally think this is quite unreasonable!"

Yang Huan nodded, this market is indeed quite large and the loyalty is very high.

"I have a question!"

"Master Huan, please ask!"

"What you said is absolutely correct, but I just want to know, what aspects do you need to include in making a professional football application software?"

"News information, competition data, game highlights, forums..."

Before Qiu Zaifei finished speaking, Yang Huan raised his hand again.

"When it comes to news and information, you definitely can't beat the major portals. When it comes to match data, they're basically all the same. As for match highlights, we've got the broadcasting rights for all the major matches, so it's not a big problem. As for forums, how are they going to gain popularity?"

Qiu Zaifei didn't expect that Young Master Huan's thinking and looking at things could be so sharp.

He didn't even give him a chance to react and went straight to the point, so that he couldn't answer immediately.

I could only think about it there for a while, and then continue after thinking about it seriously.

"Master Huan, you are right. Major portals and newspaper websites have considerable advantages in terms of news information. Their sources of information are wider and their content is richer, but it is very complicated. Some of the content is constantly repeated and hyped, which is very annoying."

"As for forums, whether it's Hupu or Tieba, they are actually becoming more and more spammy. During the rapid development stage, the number of users has increased significantly, but the staff is uneven and the loss of high-quality talents is quite serious, which has led to a rapid decline in the level of the entire forum. In fact, many people go there and have nothing to do with football or sports."

"So, quite a few of my friends basically don't go to Hupu and Tieba anymore!"

Yang Huan on the big screen and many people present thought that what he said made sense.

In today’s era of mobile Internet, portal websites have lost their original advantages and the favor of users.

"Today, China's Internet is completely different from what it was ten years ago."

"Ten years ago, those young people who were exposed to the Internet have now started families and careers and have matured. Their ideas, thinking and needs are completely different from those ten years ago."

"Their time is precious, so what they need most is to get the high-quality content they want in the shortest possible time to meet their needs!"

When many people present heard this, they couldn't help but look at this seemingly homely guy in front of them with completely new eyes.

At this point, everyone believed that he had indeed put in a lot of effort.

But as soon as Qiu Zaifei finished speaking, Zhang Ning interrupted with a smile, "I think you are right. With the development of China's Internet, the demand for high-quality content and resources is getting higher and higher, but you can't deny that the current mainstream is still popular."

"Yes!" Qiu Zaifei did not deny it at all, but admitted it instead.

"I remember Master Huan once said in an interview with a British newspaper that fans are fans, regardless of whether they go to the stadium, watch the games or even know the team's stars. As long as they like football, they are fans. This statement completely changed me!"

Even though Yang Huan always prided himself on being thick-skinned, he still felt ashamed when someone flattered him so blatantly.

This kid... I like him, he has a future!

"I just read the copywriting. Master Huan said that everyone is a football expert. I think the subtext is that everyone has their own understanding and feelings about football. So I think it is entirely possible to provide personalized services for football fans."

After hearing this, many people present understood what Qiu Zaifei meant.

Personalized news is not new. Isn’t Toutiao, which was invested by Master Huan, the main focus of this?

This application has developed very rapidly in China and has become a star product among domestic news applications.

"What else?" Yang Huan continued to ask calmly.

"News and information nowadays are nothing more than reprints, translations, and original works. Reprints are not a big problem, but translations..."

Yang Huan didn't let him continue and interrupted him directly, "Translation is not a problem!"

Just kidding, with Yang Huan's connections in European football, getting the translation rights of famous European football columnists is a piece of cake, and he doesn't even need to show up.

With the copyright and channels, the only thing left is the translator, but I believe this will not be a problem as long as you are willing to pay the translation fees.

"Then the only thing left is originality, which is also the part that can best reflect differentiation!"

Yang Huan didn't say anything else, but listened to Qiu Zaifei continue.

This number one football expert paused and sorted out his thoughts before continuing.

"I suggest launching a celebrity section, inviting well-known domestic football experts, or those who have proven themselves in the forum and are recognized by netizens, to write columns and football reviews, and pay them for their contributions."

"The purpose of the celebrity section is to cater to the needs of senior fans for high-quality original content. Not only that, I think the forum should also provide appropriate guidance and training for users so that they can learn and improve."

"Because of the blind pursuit of popularity and the lack of depth and connotation, any website and forum will inevitably decline!"

Everyone is a football expert. This slogan sounds good, but it cannot change the facts.

The so-called fact is that as fans, everyone is equal and should be respected, but some fans are of high level and some fans are of low level. This is an indisputable fact.

Theoretically, when the number of users reaches a certain level, the number of fans with lower levels will definitely exceed that of fans with higher levels. This is certain.

By that time, if there is no proper guidance, the departure of high-level fans will inevitably occur, leading to the loss of content and depth of the forum.

Without connotation and depth, users will not be able to obtain high-quality content and will feel bored. The entire forum will inevitably become spammy and may even eventually decline.

This dead end has led to the decline of countless well-known domestic forums, but no one can escape it!

Therefore, the idea proposed by Qiu Zaifei is very interesting and worth a try! R1148
