I Am a Nobleman in England

After cleaning up the finishing touches left by the studios of Kevin and Krieger, and signing contracts with these two great talents, Arthur stayed in Silicon Valley for the next time, and began to be busy building a photo wall company in Silicon Valley of the division.

To be honest, Arthur really wanted to completely move the photo wall studio directly to Silicon Valley. Here, both the talent and the entrepreneurial environment are unmatched in the UK.

However, the European market also cannot be lost. Has Facebook opened a branch in Europe without seeing it?

Send people to lease office buildings in Silicon Valley, recruit employees, purchase equipment, move into new companies, and improve various departments.

Although this is a waste in the eyes of Kevin and Krieger, the two CEOs and chief technology officers who think that they don't need too many people at all, in Arthur's view, Kevin and Krieger may be very good at technology. , but in terms of the pattern of operation, it is not enough at all.

A grass-roots team of just a few people couldn't cope with the development speed of the Photo Wall APP, which had exceeded 1.5 million downloads in less than two weeks and registered and posted 1 million to 100,000 users to post photos.

In Arthur's view, although a sparrow is small, it must have all internal organs, so that it can survive, grow and fly high!

"...According to our random analysis of 9,000 users and 110,000 photos uploaded by them since the release of the photo wall APP, we found many interesting patterns."

In the new and bright conference room, all the employees of the Silicon Valley branch headed by Arthur focused their attention on the smiling head of the data analysis company RJMetrics.

The other party picked up a small remote control, waited until all the curtains were closed, opened the PPT, and began to explain to Arthur Bolling, a high-quality customer, and his subordinates that their company used the real-time API provided by the photo wall company. The central limit theorem makes a detailed analysis of the user growth of the photo wall APP.

"In the past 12 days, 130,000 new 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 a photo , only 5 percent uploaded more than 50 photos.

Sixty-five percent of users do not follow anyone, and only 12 percent of users follow more than ten people. Among users who have uploaded photos, 45 percent will follow another day After uploading one more photo, 25% of these people still upload photos after a week, which is higher than the activity of Twitter!

From the perspective of the growth trend of users, except for the celebrity effect and media reports in the first three days, which led to a sharp increase in the number,

has been in a relatively stable growth process. This point can be seen more intuitively from the graph of the cumulative increase in the number of users. The slope of the cumulative increase is basically maintained at a relatively stable level, with an average of 150,000 new users per week. According to this trend, one million new users can be added every two months.

In contrast, user engagement is on a constant, accelerating process. The accumulative increase in the number of photos uploaded has been increasing, with an average of 2.6 million photos uploaded in the last week. It shows that user engagement is still high after using the photo wall. However, it is slightly surprising that many users have not uploaded photos after signing up for the photo wall. . . "

Speaking of this, according to the person in charge of the analysis company RJMetrics, he pressed the remote control in his hand, changed a data map, and looked at the picture to talk, as if saying: "As you can see from the above picture, there are as many as 3% Fifteen percent of users have never uploaded a single photo. Sixty-five percent uploaded less than three photos. Only five percent of heavy users uploaded more than fifty photos. But even among these uploaded photos of users, the proportion is also decreasing as the registration time goes by.

From the perspective of sampled users, the percentage of users still uploading photos in the latest week is 35%, showing a downward trend. However, even with this 35% ratio, for the current 1.5 million users of the photo wall, it still means that there are more than 400,000 users uploading photos. Inactive users are common among free online services, as many users simply follow updates from their friends.

However, at this point, we can also find that many users of the photo wall follow very few people. . .

You can see from this picture that 13% of the users do not follow anyone, and more than half of the users only follow 1 person, and this 1 followed person is often added automatically "Photo Wall Team" account. This also means that up to 65% of users have not added any friends. Friends with more than 10 people accounted for only 15% of the total number of users. . .

. . . However, although 137% of users have never uploaded photos, it can be seen from these data graphs that the cycle interval of uploading photos among users who have uploaded photos is constantly shortening. Eighty percent of people uploaded the first photo before uploading the second, and the average time between uploading two photos was 13 hours. These trends indicate that core user engagement is increasing. "

"Thank you for bringing us such detailed and important data analysis."

After the presentation of the PPT, the curtains were opened. Arthur stood up with a satisfied smile and shook hands with the other party to thank him. To be honest, because he is used to the data analysis of Angela's advisory group, Arthur attaches great importance to the data. After all, the data will not lie .

"This is what our company should do. As long as you are satisfied, then we will not bother you..."

Next was the internal meeting of the photo wall company. Naturally, the other party couldn't be present, and Arthur didn't politely ask him to stay. Instead, he smiled and shook hands with the other party, and asked them to send them out.

"Okay, now there are only our own people left, let's continue..." Arthur sat on the boss's chair with a smile, looked around for a week, and continued with a smile: "Everyone can hear the results of the data analysis. It is still necessary to continue to increase the intensity of publicity and guide our registered users to use our APP.

On this point, the marketing department should cooperate well with the PR company. My money has already been spent, so let me feel that my money is worth the money, understand! "

"Understood, boss." The director of the marketing department responded hastily.

"Kevin, the company will be handed over to you. I will return to Los Angeles tomorrow, and the work in London will be handed over to you." Arthur said with a smile, turning his attention to CEO Kevin.

"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 of the two companies in London and Silicon Valley to him. Edward Yeh, the deputy manager, completed all the handover work 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, earning tens of millions of dollars every day, so how could he look at a company that was still in the period of burning money? photo wall company.

Arthur nodded in satisfaction, smiled and looked around again for a week, restrained his smile, and said in a serious tone: "I need to reiterate the core principles of our company again, simplicity (conciseness), optimize for minimal operational burden (to minimize operational burden) Maintenance burden and optimization), instrument everything (monitor everything)!"

"Understood!" Everyone nodded in response. Although it was not very neat, Arthur was already very satisfied, and the core principles he said were also summed up from the development planning report Kevin gave him.

"Remember, don't reinvent the wheel. For example, if someone wants to develop a system monitoring daemon, it is completely unnecessary. HAProxy is fully capable of this job.

In addition, the technical team must maintain an open atmosphere and actively give back to the open source world, pay attention to optimization, and find ways to make the system twice as fast. Be agile, use the least number of components, the cleanest solution, and of course don't over-optimize unless you know in advance how your system will scale. Our philosophy at Photo Wall is to be as minimal as possible even when it comes to technology. "

"Papa papa..."

As Arthur, like a father about to go on a long journey, chattered and instructed all the precautions he could think of, the subordinates in the conference room applauded enthusiastically.

Although the photo wall company in Silicon Valley is newly established, most of the employees are newly recruited, but after more than a week of getting along, everyone knows what kind of company they have joined, and the potential of the product is huge.

Although the boss is very young, rich and powerful, and doesn't know much about IT technology, he is not domineering, but very approachable. Although technically, everyone can crush his young boss, but strategically, As well as the direction of future development, everyone really admires it.

"Kevin, Krieger, I'll leave this to you. In a short time, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of this. There is a business acquisition, and I need to handle it myself."

At the end of the meeting, in the office, Arthur said to Kevin and Krieger again.

"Don't worry, boss, we won't let you down." Kevin said with a serious face.

"Hehe, I believe in the abilities of the two of you. To be honest, this period of time is really busy enough. I really want to take a good rest for a few days. Taylor calls me all day to ask when I will return to Los Angeles, hehe." Arthur chuckled lightly.

"Hehe, in fact, I really want to thank Ms. Swift. She has brought us a large number of registered users, and she keeps creating topics to help us promote it. Boss, I can only teach you about thanking Ms. Swift. It's..."

"Ha ha..."

Hearing Krieger's words, the three couldn't help laughing, Arthur's eyes were shining brightly, yes, it's really time to go back to Los Angeles to thank his little country queen.
