My whole family treats me like a dog, but this time I will never turn back!

Ye Jianchen toyed with the pen in his hand and said calmly, "That good-for-nothing, he's certainly not good at business, but he has his strengths, which is leveraging influence. He used to work with the Ye family, then the Liang family, and now he's the behind-the-scenes boss. Of course, he also knows how to manage talent. That's right, as someone in a position of power, you don't need to be good at everything; managing people is enough!"

Xia Lingyun's pupils widened: "From what you're saying, he's even more troublesome than the Liang family, or Jiang Tiannan and his group?"

"From a certain perspective, that's true. Currently, his mastermind hasn't surfaced yet, and we're already under some pressure. When the two sides clash in the future, it will likely be even more troublesome!"

Ye Jianchen nodded slightly: "These behind-the-scenes bigwigs belong to a certain circle, I'd guess they're second-tier aristocratic families. Liang Haoran's incident has already shown just how much power they wield. There's no such thing as fairness with them. With them around, ordinary people can't even cross social classes for three generations. But why are they so high and mighty? It's one generation, and it's the same for every generation!"

Actually, he was still a little resentful when he said that!

He reached his current level thanks to his knowledge from his previous life and his efforts in this life, and breaking through to a higher level is now harder than climbing to heaven!

Some people are born at his level, or even at a higher level!

Xia Lingyun nodded: "Yes, those bastards living under the emperor's nose!"

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. The focus now is on Tianyin short videos!"

Ye Jianchen continued, "I've looked at Dongxu Group's A-video app. They have deep pockets, but they've chosen the wrong path. They actually plan to focus on entertainment apps as the main focus, with short video apps as a secondary focus. The future market will show them what the mainstream is!"

"Next, I'll also be launching an entertainment news app called 'Today's Headlines'!"

"This app has just been launched, so the focus is on attracting users. We'll allocate some resources to Tianyin Short Video and Kanduoduo, but not too much. We need to rely on 'Today's Headlines' to break the deadlock and drive traffic to ourselves!"

"The main reward is still based on online time; the longer customers stay on the app, the more rewards they receive!"

"In the future, downloads and data usage will no longer be the only factors; daily active users will be the most important. After all, in today's internet age, people download all kinds of apps, but the key to success is retaining customers among hundreds of apps!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement!

Zhang Xiaolan offered her perspective: "Chairman Ye, our 'Today's Headlines' came out later than Dongxu Group's 'Entertainment Headlines,' so we're bound to be accused of plagiarism. Besides, Dongxu Group's 'Entertainment Headlines' already has a reward system in place; we're just following in their footsteps!"

Ye Jianchen shook his head and smiled after hearing this: "Ye Xu, isn't this just copying what I did with Kanduoduo? Using capital to exchange for traffic and customers? He's just picking up what I've already done. Of course, he's improved a lot; at least he knows how to use this kind of promotion!"

Then, looking at everyone, he said, "They released their apps earlier than us, and their general promotion strategies are similar to ours. So, we want to be different. Please share your thoughts!"

"Chairman Ye, I personally believe that acquiring more entertainment apps, integrating them, and directing traffic to 'Today's Headlines' is a good strategy!"

"Chairman Ye, we have no choice but to increase our investment. Our Tianyin short video platform has a considerable number of daily active users, so we can allocate more resources to 'Today's Headlines'!"

"We're more familiar with the tactics used in 'Cut and Win' games—using them to attract new users to download the app and then offering more rewards!"

Everyone shared their opinions!

Of course, these views are not very helpful; they are all old-fashioned approaches!

"Alright, let me make a few serious points here. First, Tianyin short videos will always be the priority, and resources allocated to 'Today's Headlines' should not exceed 30%. Second, we will use big data algorithms to push news and create personalized recommendations. Remember, big data is the core. We need to record customer habits and then replace customers' active searches with recommendations. When customers enter the app, they will be unconsciously attracted to keep watching and spend more time online!"

"Third, we encourage independent media creators to produce articles, videos, etc., and reward high-quality works. This process of natural selection will help retain the best entertaining news!"

"Fourth, the rewards for 'Today's Headlines' do not come from attracting new customers, but from online time. The longer you are online, the more rewards you get!"

"The above four points are the biggest differences between us and Dongxu Group's 'A Entertainment Headlines.' As time goes by, the gap will gradually become apparent!"

Ye Jianchen looked at everyone and said!

The leaders of each department suddenly realized what was going on and secretly admired him!

Whenever the group encounters a situation of stagnation, it is Chairman Ye who leads them to fight their way out!

Chairman Ye's business acumen is probably number one in the world, not just in China!

Afterwards, Ye Jianchen gave another explanation, and the meeting finally adjourned.

A few days later, Tianchen Group launched the "Today's Headlines" APP, which caused quite a stir upon its release!

It's worth noting that Dongxu Group had already launched "A Entertainment Headlines," and Tianchen Group followed suit, leading many to accuse Tianchen Group of plagiarism!

"Tianchen Group already dominates the short video market, so who knew they'd be venturing into entertainment apps? They must have jumped on the bandwagon after seeing Dongxu Group's announcement!"

"I thought Tianyin Group was a unicorn company, but it turns out it's mostly plagiarism!"

"They're too late. The first person to go into the river will catch crabs, but the second might not; they might just catch small shrimp!"

"Whatever, we're all just watching the news, what's the difference!"

"You don't understand. Developing an app, releasing it, and promoting it requires the hard work of many developers. Those who simply copy it can do it, which is unfair to the companies and people who developed it first!"

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe the two apps are different!"

Ye Jianchen didn't pay too much attention to the various rumors circulating online, since these were things he had to face!

Moreover, there are also many online trolls stirring up trouble; they must have been hired by Ye Xu!

Unfortunately, time will tell!

Afterwards, Ye Jianchen and Xia Lingyun began to talk!

"Ye Jianchen, I've found out that a man named Chen Xiaomin met with Liang Yi. They discussed something privately, and I suspect Liang Yi is planning to get out of prison!"

Xia Lingyun asked seriously, "What do you think about this?"

Ye Jianchen wasn't surprised. He sneered, "It seems they didn't take what I said to Ye Kai to heart. How can someone who makes a mistake go unpunished? Give Liang Yi one last warning. If he remains obstinate, then kill him!"

Actually, Ye Jianchen doesn't like killing unless it's the last step, such as Fang Yiming, Liang Haoran, and so on!

He waved to Uncle Chen behind him again: "Uncle Chen, have you found the person I arranged for you?"

"Young Master, we've found him. His name is Liu Lei. He has late-stage lung cancer and elderly relatives and children at home, so he's agreed to cooperate with us!"

"If Liang Yi dares to be released from prison, he will launch an attack on him. After it's done, we'll give him five million!"

After listening, Ye Jianchen asked, "Is this person reliable?"
