310: appease Zhang Yiming

As far as Wang Lin was concerned.

He might panic if anyone else did short videos, but he wouldn't panic if Old Ma did it.

Because the other party didn't understand it at all.

Or rather, he wasn't doing short videos to seize this trend and rely on it to make money.

Instead, he was using this trend to empower and convert users for Taobao.

Now that so many people saw the popularity of the short video trend, they were joining in.

This wasn't about taking a piece of his pie, but about making the cake bigger and cultivating user habits; why wouldn't he be willing?

Hearing Wang Lin's words, Old Ma was somewhat surprised: "What, you're not afraid of me entering the market and stealing your cake?"

Wang Lin shook his head: "Right now, short videos are still a wasteland. Everyone entering the market together isn't about stealing someone else's cake, but about making this cake bigger and stronger together!"

"As for after user habits have been cultivated, then we'll have to have a real showdown!!"

Old Ma nodded; this was exactly the same as when he started e-commerce.

Or rather, basically everything on the Internet follows the same routine, just with a different skin and a different way of slowly playing out.

After Wang Lin invested in Kuaishou.

Zhang Yiming, the boss of ByteDance Company, was a bit nervous, but also somewhat excited.

Because he knew he had taken the right path.

Short videos were definitely the super trend of the future; otherwise, Brother Junlin wouldn't be betting on both sides.

While Brother Junlin was still having fun with that little star these past few days, he hurriedly invited Wang Lin out to sit down and talk about this matter.

Wang Lin really felt like laughing at Zhang Yiming's nervousness.

This future supreme hegemon of short videos, the global number one in short videos, was actually afraid of Kuaishou now.

But then again, it made sense.

At this stage, Kuaishou could definitely be called a national-level short video platform.

While TikTok could only be called a musical creative short video platform; the two were not on the same level.

Even with Wang Lin's help, causing TikTok's users to grow crazily, one still has to eat one bite at a time; nothing can make you fat in a single bite.

Not to mention that Kuaishou, which already had over 400 million users, had also received Wang Lin's help.

This was simply like adding wings to a tiger!!

That was why Zhang Yiming was so panicked.

Seeing Zhang Yiming looking like he wanted to speak but didn't dare, Wang Lin smiled: "President Zhang, what are you thinking? Are you thinking that Kuaishou will threaten you?"

Zhang Yiming nodded sheepishly.

Then he quickly shook his head and said, "It's not a threat. They are inherently more capable than us, and we're not even on the same track. I'm just a bit worried about whether they'll start moving toward the high-end market later on."

Logically speaking, for Zhang Yiming to say these things to him was like putting Wang Lin on the spot.

What do you mean by this?

Questioning Brother Junlin's decision?

Or coming here to force a showdown?

But based on Wang Lin's understanding of him, he really wouldn't dare; he was just flustered right now.

Wang Lin smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, you have to believe in yourself. In this track, TikTok is the strongest!!"

He really wasn't just encouraging Zhang Yiming; what did TikTok rely on to break through the encirclement?

Wasn't it that unparalleled algorithm?

"Stick to your Toutiao algorithm engineering and apply it to TikTok. Don't worry!"

Finally, Wang Lin added: "If I didn't have high hopes for you, why would I invest?"

It was this sentence that allowed Zhang Yiming to put his heart at ease.

That's true.

Brother Junlin was a major shareholder of their company; he wouldn't cultivate another competitor.

So, the only answer emerged.

TikTok might coexist with Kuaishou in the future!!

After figuring this out, Zhang Yiming suddenly felt that the sky outside was exceptionally blue and the air was so fresh.
