Chapter 20: The Unappetizing Eating Habits of American Masters

Before entering the short video field, Douyin's bosses had already achieved remarkable results in the big data textual information track.

Super Headlines, the number one internet information platform in China.

In the product iteration of Headlines, Douyin's parent company developed a globally leading data engine.

They used the data engine as the core to create a short video push mechanism based on algorithm recognition and big data analysis.

Among similar competitors, all opponents were powerless.

For example:

While other competitors were still studying user behavior, Douyin was already figuring out how to recommend videos through algorithms to prevent users from getting 'tired' by continually pushing videos that users might not engage with after several similar types of videos they liked.

Preventing users from being constantly stimulated and eventually tired enough to close the app.

It's more accurate to say that Douyin's videos are made by a big data analysis enterprise rather than just a short video platform.

Its video push is completely determined by big data.

The only way people can intervene is by recharging 'Dou+' to increase the push volume of the video.

But even if recharged, it's not very effective.

Non-organic traffic cannot be converted into video data, so it cannot provide higher visibility.

Recharging 'Dou+' has nothing to do with Cheng Daqi.

He only has less than a thousand dollars on him now.

This money needs to be kept for legal battles with the immigration court, getting legal status, and can't be spent easily.

Cheng Daqi also has confidence in his content.

Starting from the popularization of 4G networks, mobile internet has become increasingly convenient.

The internet has truly made everything accessible to everyone.

Humanity has truly entered the age of information explosion!

Massive users have infinite demand for information.

This has led to an unexpected situation in the age of information explosion.

Content creators' content, as long as seen, can be liked by people.

As long as it's seen, someone will like it!

This is a situation that all sociology, information science books, and theories did not anticipate.

But it's a fact!

The disorder and self-destructive tendencies in human hearts determine that people's preferences are uncontrollable.

Any content that breaks through the limits of imagination will be liked by someone.

That's why we are always shocked by those obscure and bizarre niche groups while surfing.

For those who don't understand, just think of Old Eight. Even Old Eight has viewers, fans, and even die-hard fans.

Cheng Daqi's video is not about Old Eight eating hamburgers.

His topic sounds absurd— the life of American homeless people.

But behind this absurdity is an uncontested blue ocean track.

Before Cheng Daqi's rebirth, many overseas homeless internet celebrities had already paved the way for this.

Like lecturers, like sweet donuts.

Regardless of whether their content is good or bad, they do have traffic.

This shows that there is a large audience for content related to homeless people in America.

Even the black sheep is red.

Since creating an account on Douyin, Cheng Daqi has already had thoughts about future operations.

Recording the current situation of American homeless people in the early stage and paying tribute to the top lecturer is enough.

In the middle stage, after obtaining legal status in America, he can use the advantages of rebirth to start a business, similar to the style of Douyin blogger 'Feichai'.

As long as the first two steps are stable, Cheng Daqi will have a certain status in America in the future, and the value of this video account will not be so important.

After all, you won't see successful entrepreneurs who failed in their marriages and were kicked out of companies filming videos every day, right?

Even Luo Yonghao, after accumulating billions in debt, only started promoting products to pay off debts.

Cheng Daqi was the same in his previous life. After the company was on the right track, he chose not to appear in public voluntarily.

'However, it's not necessarily true that being too low-key abroad might get you into trouble.

The logic of America is opposite to that of China.'

Thinking about the differences between China and America, Cheng Daqi fell into contemplation.

In China, you need to hide because of the culture.

America's way of doing things is different.

Completely different.

Take Zhenning and Musk for example.

They are both super rich, but neither of them are the scions of American aristocracy.

They were not born in America, nor do they have American household registration.

And one is Chinese, the other has passed the marriage window.

No matter how much money you have, you can't feel secure.

These two, one is desperately high-profile, even spending a lot of money to buy the identity of a UN diplomatic personnel.

After tossing for a few years, they still couldn't escape the attention of the American masters and ended up being slaughtered like Shen Yishi.

The only thing to be thankful for is that because they were so high-profile and kneeled so quickly, their lives were not in danger.

Musk is even more direct, posting on social media, saying that he has no suicidal tendencies, and if he dies, it's an assassination.

To avoid being blocked by Jewish media and public opinion, he directly bought out Bald Eagle.

The eating habits of American masters are really unsightly!

Sighing inwardly, Cheng Daqi withdrew his wandering thoughts.

These things are still too far away from him, far from what he needs to consider now.

First, survive, get the identity rewarded by the system, and see what effect it has.

'Buzz.'

The phone vibrated lightly, indicating a message from Feixin.

"Was it smooth running to the embassy to reapply for your documents?"

Zhao Hongjin's avatar is Doraemon, completely inconsistent with her image.

Cheng Daqi always feels a sense of dissonance with Doraemon.

Who would have thought that behind the avatar of an otaku was a beautiful girl like Zhao Hongjin.

"I haven't gone today. I did an activity with some friends this morning."

He sent a picture of himself with 'Xiangshui Pingdeng' in the morning, smiling.

Hunting begins.

Maintaining top connections is different from ordinary friendships. You need to showcase your value as much as possible in every conversation.

Using content that showcases your uniqueness to continually refresh her perception of you and gradually increase her approval of you.

Building a good relationship with Zhao Hongjin will ensure a smooth return to China if things don't work out in America.

Cheng Daqi has suffered too much from starting from a low starting point in his previous life.

He knows too well the importance of associating with the right people.

Cheng Daqi's goal is not to marry into wealth but to meet more heirs through Zhao Hongjin.

Many urban rebirth novels depict the protagonist's company rising steadily.

They didn't realize one thing—many business models can't be copied just because you came earlier.

Without Jack Ma's template, try starting an online payment platform as an ordinary person.

Try it and you'll die.

Among China's top companies, there's only one, and only one.

Only Dong Ge started from scratch.

But Dong Ge almost married into wealth at the beginning!

In the end, the woman didn't fancy him and broke it off!

Absurd, but true.

Even after succeeding, Dong Ge is still walking on thin ice, repairing roads for his hometown, and opening branches in Suqian, energetically recruiting locals.

Dong Ge's wife also made an interesting choice.

If you look at marriage from a capital perspective, it's like financing.

Too many talents rely on this financing to get their 'first pot of gold.'

Educational background, family background, social circle, fame, image, Dong Ge really knows how to finance!

Those who understand, understand.

Take the least important financing result.

Using the publicity of his marriage, a certain company skyrocketed in the women's clothing track for three years, from scratch, thanks to the female users brought by the CEO's marriage.

Cheng Daqi honestly admits that he doesn't have Dong Ge's ability.

In the future, it's impossible to do anything in America. Returning to China will require finding a good backing.

Cheng Daqi wants to make some waves in America, but it doesn't prevent him from preparing for his future.

There is a principle, or rather a methodology, applicable to both individuals and enterprises.

Manage risks well and always leave a PLAN B.
