Chapter 457 What to thank you for, my mildew!
After finishing off the studios of Kevin and Krieger, and after signing the contract with these two big names, Arthur stayed in Silicon Valley and began to work hard to establish the branch of Photo Wall Company in Silicon Valley.
To be honest, Arthur really wanted to completely move the photo wall studio directly to Silicon Valley. Here, whether it is talent or entrepreneurial environment, it is incomparable to the UK.
However, the European market cannot be lost. Have Facebook opened a branch in Europe before you see it?
Send people to rent office buildings in Silicon Valley, recruit employees, purchase equipment, move into new companies, and improve various departments.
Although this seems to be a waste to Kevin and Krieg, two COCs who think that there is no need for too many people at all, in Arthur's view, Kevin and Krieg may be very good in technology, but in terms of operational structure, it is not enough.
The grass-roots team of several people could not cope with less than two weeks, and the download volume exceeded 1.5 million, and the number of users registered and published photos reached 1.1 million and 100,000.
In Arthur's view, although the sparrow is small, it must be fully equipped in order to survive better, grow and fly high!
"... Based on the analysis we randomly selected 9,000 white-name users and 110,000 photos they uploaded since the release of the Photo Wall app, we found many interesting rules."
In the brand new and bright conference room, all employees of the Silicon Valley branch led by Arthur focused their attention on the head of the smiling data analysis company RJmetris.
The other party picked up a small remote control, waited until all the curtains were pulled up, and opened the ppt, and began to explain to Arthur Boling, a high-quality customer and his subordinates, their company used the central limit theorem to conduct a detailed analysis of the user growth of the photo wall app based on the real-time API provided by the photo wall company.
"In the past twelve days, 130,000 registered users have been added every day, and 1.1 million users have uploaded 3.6 million new photos. However, 37% of users have never uploaded photos, and only 5% of those uploaded more than 50 photos.
Sixty-five percent of users do not follow anyone, and the number of users who follow more than ten accounts for only 12% of the total. Among the users who have uploaded photos, forty-five percent will upload another one in the next day. The proportion of these people who still upload photos a week later is 25%, which is more active than Twitter!
From the perspective of user growth trend, except for the number of people who have soared due to the celebrity effect and media reports in the first three days, it has been in a relatively stable growth process. This can be seen more intuitively from the cumulative increase in the number of users. The cumulative increase slope is basically maintained at a relatively stable level, with an average of 150,000 new users every week. According to this trend, one million new users can be added every two months.
In contrast, user participation is accelerating. The growth rate of cumulative uploaded photos has been increasing. The average number of uploaded photos in the past week was 2.6 million. This shows that the user's participation is still very high after using the photo wall. However, it is a bit surprising that many users have not uploaded photos after registering the photo wall..."
Speaking of this, the person in charge of the analysis company rjmetris pressed the remote control in his hand, changed a data picture, and looked at the picture and said, "From the picture above, as high as 35% of users have never uploaded a photo. The proportion of uploading three photos is as high as 65%. The proportion of severe users who upload more than 50 photos is only 5%. However, even among these users who upload photos, the proportion is constantly decreasing as the registration time goes by.
From the perspective of sampled users, the proportion of users who are still uploading photos in the past week is 35%, showing a downward trend. However, even this proportion of 35%, for the current 1.5 million users of the photo wall, it still means that more than 400,000 users are uploading photos. In free online services, inactive users are very common because many users just want to pay attention to their friends' updates.
However, at this point, we can also find that many users pay attention to the photo wall...
You can see from this picture that 13% of users did not follow anyone, while more than half of users only followed one person, and this one person who was followed often added the "Photo Wall Team" account automatically. This means that up to 65% of users did not add any friends. More than 10 friends accounted for only 15% of the total number of users... However, although 137% of users have not uploaded photos, it can be seen from these data pictures that the period of uploading photos among users who uploaded photos is constantly shortening. Eighty percent of people will upload the second photo after uploading the first photo, and the average upload time interval between the two photos is 13 hours. These trends indicate that the participation of core users is constantly increasing."
"Thank you for bringing us such detailed and important data analysis."
After the ppt display, the curtains were opened. Arthur stood up with satisfaction and shook hands with the other party and thanked him. To be honest, because he was used to the data analysis of Angela's advisory group, Arthur attached great importance to data, after all, data will not lie.
"This is what our company should do. As long as you are satisfied, then we will not disturb you..."
Next was the internal meeting of the Photo Wall Company. Naturally, the other party could not be present. Arthur did not politely try to keep him. Instead, he smiled and shook hands with the other party, and asked someone to send them out.
"Okay, now there is only one person left, let's continue..." Arthur smiled and sat on the boss's chair. After looking around for a week, he continued with a smile: "Everyone has heard the results of data analysis. We should continue to increase the publicity efforts and guide our registered users to use our app.
At this point, the marketing department needs to cooperate with the public relations company. My money has been spent, so I have to make me feel that my money is worth the money, do you understand!”
"I understand, boss." The marketing manager responded hurriedly.
"Kevin, the company will be handed over to you next. I will go back to Los Angeles tomorrow, and I will hand over the work in London to you." Arthur smiled and turned his eyes to Ceo Kevin and said.
"Don't worry, boss." Kevin smiled confidently. To be honest, he really didn't expect that Arthur would trust him so much and really handed over the management power of the two companies in London and Silicon Valley to him. The previous agent manager Edward Ye completed all the handover without any complaints, which really surprised him.
However, Arthur later told him with a smile that it was because the game company managed by Edward was almost a money printing machine, and he could make tens or millions of dollars every day. How could he fall in love with the photo wall company that was still in the money-burning period?
Arthur nodded with satisfaction, smiled and looked around for a week, curled his smile and said in a serious tone: "I need to reiterate the core principles of our company, simpliity, optimizedforminimaloperationalburden (optimized to minimize operation and maintenance burden), instrumenteverything (monitoring everything)!"
"I understand!" Everyone nodded and responded. Although it was not very neat, Arthur was already very satisfied. The core principles he mentioned were also summarized from the development plan report he handed over to him by Kevin.
"Remember, don't repeat the invention of the wheel. For example, someone wants to develop a daemon that monitors the system. It's completely unnecessary. Haproxy is perfectly competent for this job.
Also, the technical team should maintain an open atmosphere and actively give back to the open source world, pay attention to optimization, and find ways to double the speed of the system. Stay agile, use the least components, and the cleanest solution. Of course, don’t over-optimize, unless you know in advance how your system will be expanded. Our philosophy of Photo Wall Company is that even when it comes to technology, it should be streamlined to the extreme."
"Smack it..."
As Arthur chatted and told all the things he could think of, like a father who was about to travel, the subordinates in the conference room applauded enthusiastically.
Although the Silicon Valley photo wall company was newly formed and most of its employees were recruited, after more than a week of getting along, everyone knows what kind of company they have joined and the product has huge potential.
Although the boss is very young, very rich and has a status, and does not know any IT technology, he is not arrogant, but is very approachable. Although everyone can crush their young boss in terms of technology, but everyone really admires it in terms of strategy and future development direction.
"Kevin Krieg, I'll leave this to you. In a short period of time, I'm afraid I won't care about this. There is a commercial acquisition that I need to deal with in person."
At the end of the meeting, Arthur said again to Kevin and Krieg in the office.
"Don't worry, boss, we won't let you down." Kevin said with a serious expression.
"Haha, I believe in the ability of both of you. To be honest, I have been busy enough during this period. I really want to have a good rest for a few days. Taylor calls me all day long and asks me when I will go back to Los Angeles, haha." Arthur chuckled and joked.
"Haha, I really have to thank Miss Swift for bringing us a large number of registered users and constantly creating topics to help us promote. Boss, thank you Miss Swift, I can only teach you..."
"Ha ha……"
