The beautiful photo sharing company in the previous life, namely Instagram, was captured by K early on. Although $10 seemed like a lot at the time, it far underestimated the growth potential of Instagram.

The outside world was lamenting at the time that if it persisted for another year, or even half a year, the US$1 billion would have to be doubled.

It’s a pity that in the previous life, Instagram was taken over by k, and its functions and status were continuously weakened by k, thereby taking advantage of another photo sharing software company.

It is snaphat company.

You may not be familiar with this name, but if you mention its Chinese name, young people should suddenly realize, "It turns out to be it."

The Chinese name of snaphat is "burn after reading".

The principle and gameplay of burning after reading are very simple.

You add your friends through the software, and then you can send your edited pictures, videos, texts, etc. to your friends.

This is not the most creative part. The highlight of it disappearing after reading is its name.

If you only want your friends to take a look at some of your* photos and don’t want them to save them, then the software that destroys them after reading comes into play.

The software can set a time. 1-10 seconds after you send the photo, the photo will be automatically destroyed and will not be saved by friends, even if friends try to save it in this short period of time. You

You will be notified of who is trying to save the picture.

If you don't have a very three-dimensional sense, let's give an example.

For example, the eldest cousin in "The Hunger Games", if she likes to take pictures very much, taking pictures of her graceful figure, but looking at these photos alone, there is no happiness to share, and she cannot let others see her beauty, which is a bit too much.

Too boring.

But if you send it to your friends to share it and let them praise how good your figure is, you are afraid that some of your friends may have ulterior motives and forward it directly or sell it to tabloids, which will ruin your reputation.

But it’s different when it burns after reading.

The eldest cousin can take a lot of large-scale photos, and then set them to send to friends, giving them 5 seconds to watch. Then they will be burned immediately after reading.

Usually this time allows them to see clearly, but also leaves them with no time to react or even save.

In this way, the purpose can be achieved without leaking large-scale photos of oneself. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Whether you call it narcissism or exhibitionism, countless people like to do it anyway, not just celebrities, but young people especially like this fresh and exciting way of sharing photos.

Therefore, it has become very popular after reading.

Xiao Qi remembered that in a report at the end of 2013, the survey agency stated that 49% of the photos uploaded by Americans every day went to K, 21% went to Instagram, and the remaining 30% were all returned to the two countries.

A company that has been burning after reading for many years.

This is still under the circumstances that Yiruihuan does not have much funds for development. If it has sufficient funds, I am afraid that both Instagram and K will be seized more shares.

This is also the reason why in November 2013, K proposed to acquire 3 billion U.S. dollars.

Unfortunately, this acquisition proposal was rejected by the two young founders without hesitation, which shows how ambitious they are.

I dare not say that it will develop into another K, but it is reasonable to become a large-scale network electronics company worth 20 billion US dollars.

In the previous life, I had an idea for it that disappeared after reading. I had the idea at the beginning of 2011, and it started to go online in September 2011. Even if the idea was a little earlier, it wouldn't be before 2010.

When Xiao Qi went to the United States as early as 2007, he had already registered a series of ideas for future network electronics companies, including this one that will burn after reading.

Now seeing that the sharing of beautiful pictures is developing and growing, Xiao Qi thinks that it should be burned after reading.

Because Xiao Qi had thought before that now that Yang Xiaona has become his woman, he should also buy her a private property. This will be a very good asset that will burn after reading.

The Hoffman in front of him was an expert, and Xiao Qi could ask him at this moment if the time had come.

Listening to Xiao Qi talk about the entire idea of ​​​​disappearing after reading, Hoffman, who was originally very relaxed, opened his mouth wide, looking like he was shocked.

After a long time, he drank the ice water in front of him in one gulp and raised his thumb: "Xiao Qi, I think I am smart enough, but you are hitting me again and again, and you really don't give others a way to survive.

Ah! This idea of ​​yours that will disappear after reading is worth at least 5 billion U.S. dollars. I can definitely expect it to reach 10 billion U.S. dollars when it is completed! How did your brain grow? If you act so smart, you are not afraid of being criticized in the future.

Slice study?”

"Bah, bah, bah, I'm not Einstein!" Xiao Qi trembled all over, "Don't curse me there!"

"Haha, who told you to be so smart that it's scary?" Hoffman looked at him and smiled happily, "That's good, you look a bit like an ordinary person."

"Stop talking nonsense, what do you think of my establishment of burning after reading?" Xiao Qi asked again.

"There are advantages and disadvantages." After all, Hoffman is a professional, and he has already weighed it in his mind. "The advantage is that the earlier it develops, the more market share it can grab and the faster it becomes popular.

Up. The disadvantage is that it has some overlap with Meitu Sharing, and is a little better than Meitu Sharing. If you want Meitu Sharing to develop better, you might as well wait until the number of regular users of Meitu Sharing reaches 300 million before starting to enter.

market."

As he said this, Xiao Qi also woke up.

indeed.

In addition to the function of burning after reading, the Burn After Reading company actually also has a picture sharing function for sharing beautiful pictures. In this case, it has one more practical function than others, Burn After Reading was acquired by K after Instagram

, when I didn’t pay much attention to Instagram, I took the opportunity to develop and grow, relying on my own strength.

Of course, Instagram is actually developing quite well, but it has not reached the heights expected, and it is much worse than the one that disappears after reading.

Now is different from the past life.

Sharing beautiful pictures and burning them after reading are both Xiao Qi’s industries.

If you want to prevent them from fighting each other and causing internal friction, you must come up with a balance point.

Hoffman saw through the mystery at a glance.

If sharing beautiful pictures and burning after reading are going to compete together, burning after reading will definitely gain the upper hand.

But if Meitu Sharing establishes its foothold first, acquires enough loyal users, and then burns it after reading to seize the market, Meitu Sharing’s market position will not be shaken too much, but it will seize more of K’s market.

You don’t need to ask for too much, as long as you have K, share beautiful pictures, and burn them after reading, it will be enough to gain a share of the world.

Besides, the world is so big, just three photo sharing websites can still accommodate it.

"Okay, let's not worry about burning after reading for the time being." Xiao Qi nodded, "When the number of Meitu Sharing users reaches 250 million, we will start preparing for the burning after reading project."

"Smart move," Hoffman said with a smile.

Hoffman believes that Xiao Qi has a good habit of listening to well-intentioned suggestions and is not a tyrant like Gang Leader Qiao who insists on his own way.

Such habits can help Xiao Qi achieve success in many fields, and he will not have conflicts with professionals because of his stubbornness, which will lead to conflicts between investors and entrepreneurial teams.

You must know that the conflict between investors and entrepreneurial teams is definitely the biggest conflict in e-commerce, and it usually ends with one party failing and withdrawing.

Although Xiao Qi founded several high-value electronics companies in the United States, Xiao Qi did not take care of them personally. Therefore, the entrepreneurial team would have various different opinions with him. If Xiao Qi forced him to

If the pressure is put on him, he will definitely win, but the shock to the company caused by this is not something a mature company should experience.

However, until now, Xiao Qi has never had any conflicts with them. It must be said that this is where Xiao Qi is smart and wise.

He didn't know that the reason why Xiao Qi was so easy to talk to was simply because these ideas were not his at all, and he had lost the need to firmly grasp them. He just trusted the professionals more and did not interfere.

"By the way, Michael Jackson will hold a concert in China in July or August. Please prepare tickets for at least five concerts for me. I will bring my wife to attend then." Hoffman said, "Oh, I don't know.

It’s been 20 years since I woke up. When I first heard Michael Jackson’s concert, I was still a handsome guy, but now I’m just a fat guy!”

Michael Jackson debuted very early. He started performing on stage with his brothers when he was only a few years old. He has had an acting career for more than 40 years now. It is not just a generation that grew up listening to his songs.

Xiao Qi smiled and nodded, "You flew here just to watch the concert. You are really boring."

"Why is it boring? This is called the hobby of life, this is called romance! Do you understand?" Hoffman said contemptuously, "I don't know how you managed to pick up so many beauties. You don't have any romantic qualities. When the day comes,

Do you think about work and money too late?"

Yes, I was despised.

Xiao Qi didn't argue with him, but he also reminded himself.
