"After years of being controlled by a foreign owner, the Los Angeles Times is back in the hands of the locals."

At the breakfast table the next morning, Andy shook his head with a smile while watching the headline "Who is Andy Smith?" On the front page of the Los Angeles Times.

The statement made by the video conference of the new owner yesterday afternoon let the editors of the Times breathe a sigh of relief, ushered in a new boss with good money, and the newspapers no longer worry about the horror shadow of layoffs. Everyone Looking forward to the times when the Times will return to glory.

"What news made you so happy?" Charlize, wearing a silver-gray two-piece silk nightgown, tied her hair bun, went into the restaurant slightly lazily, leaned over and kissed Andy first, then reached for her. Read it in the newspaper.

"Giggle ..." Charlize chuckled as he watched the report, and raised his eyebrows at Andy eating breakfast: "This group of guys will really please the new boss, hehe, it's too much touted Come on! "

"They're just telling the truth." Andy received the shamelessly, and shrugged a copy of it.

"Giggle, if I remember correctly, you are a New Yorker, when did you become a local in Los Angeles? Alas, even the dark history of your past is portrayed as a valuable asset in the process of genius growth ... it really makes people feel No more! "

Charlize teased teasingly and rubbed his arm with a goose bump.

Andy looked at the emperor's face with a proud expression of his achievement, and smiled at her mischief, saying, "Is the new script received? Is it all right?"

"Well, don't worry, although the role played is similar to my experience, but I have stepped out of the shadows and will not be tangled. I also hope to challenge it, maybe there will be a breakthrough." Charlize naturally knew Andy The meaning of the words, the role she will play in the new screenplay "Burning Plains", because in the shadow of the sins accidentally committed in childhood can not extricate themselves, which is very similar to her childhood experience.

"To be honest, I don't want you to appear in this film, but Robert Freeman thinks that only you are the most suitable and wants to send this film to the Venice Film Festival next year." Andy's eyes are gentle and light. Said the emperor's rosy cheek.

"Oh, rest assured, I'm not that fragile, my heart is filled with little Laura, there is no room to carry those gray memories!"

"Ahem, it's too much, what about me? I should always have my place!"

"Ha ha."

"What do you mean?"

"Ha ha……"

In the bright and spacious meeting room of the whatsapp company, Andy sitting lazily in the top seat leaned on the boss chair, his hands crossed with his fingers in front of him, and he had a headache looking at the men who had become a pot of gruel.

Without him, Watzip, which has been running for free for 1 year, has divided a group of people in the company into two camps because of whether he chose to pay. Whether it is free or for a fee has now become a big problem that Andy has to face.

Today the Wattspur company has developed into a global phenomenon. Nearly 90 million people use its service to send text messages and photos for free. It can be said that there has never been such a rapid development of social tools. Faebook now only has 1.2 billion users. And more importantly, nearly half of whatsapp users respond to messages every day.

Therefore, once the fees are charged, this will undoubtedly bring very large profits to Wattspu, and let Wattspu, which has been investing money to develop money, start to make money.

But the key issue is the payment method. Users can only pay by credit card or electronic platform. In this way, some people who do not own a credit card or accept payment by electronic platform cause inconvenience. In this regard, Andy is really speechless. Americans have always questioned the security of electronic payments.

Another is to use the US dollar payment method to complete the real-name login, because the credit card login data is real-name.

Everyone likes free stuff. Once charged, Watts will definitely lose a lot of users, while Watts in the development period is very popular now, but if you really want to charge, you will definitely lose a large number of users. .

To say that the most hated app by Watsup is wireless operators, with $ 5 billion in SMS revenue over the past year. These operators previously made a lot of money by charging for each text message.

If you don't want to make money, how can that be, and Andy Smith, who can't afford it, will not miss any opportunity to make money.

However, he is also clear that now is definitely not a good time to charge. For his third-party payment platform plan, Watzip will continue to be free.

"It seems that the acquisition of Starbucks must begin!"

After having made a decision, Andy coughed twice, bringing the entire conference room to a quiet state, leaning forward, placing his hands on the conference table with his fingers crossed, and looking around for a week, he said to the crowd, "First of all, I reiterate once again, we The company has no pressure to make money at this time. I hope you can win 500 million to 1 billion users in the next 3 years.

As for the company's profitability, I have long considered it, but at present, it is not the time to take it out, because our user base is still too small, so do n’t worry about making a profit, we are still a new company, everyone We must settle down and continue to develop and promote. "

As the developer and owner of Watts, since Andy Smith has stated his position, the people under him will naturally not say anything. The charging party also hopes that the company will have a profitable means to increase the market value of Watts. Prepare for a round of financing.

However, at present, it seems that his own boss is not ready for financing.

After the meeting, Andy sat alone in the conference room, frowning slightly, the pen in his hand quickly writing on a piece of paper.

Public account, using the public account platform for self-media activities, is simply a one-to-many media behavior activity, to help businesses and users communicate to get income.

This is Andy's plan to launch a service project after Watts has a sufficient user base to create a better user experience and form a different ecological cycle. By applying for a public service number, merchants can display the merchant's official website, membership, push, events, registration, sharing, business cards, etc. through secondary development to form a mainstream online and offline interactive marketing method. As a service provider, Vatspo can provide services These merchants who applied for the public account are charged.

Of course, the most important thing is to use Wazep's online and offline combination to promote the third-party payment platform that he still uses in the shadows. After the acquisition of Starbucks is completed, he is ready to start burning money to promote new applications!
