Volume 1: Little People Return 2014 Chapter 016 Little People Media
Four Seasons Hotel, 89th floor deluxe tower view room, the slender waist is clearly visible outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
This was not Xu Kaidao’s first visit to the Four Seasons Hotel, but it was his first time staying in a deluxe tower view room that cost four or five thousand yuan a night.
This time I came here because I received an invitation from a headhunting company to meet the boss of a new company, and the interview took place here.
Judging from the location, the boss has some financial resources, but he looks too young, so Xu Kaidao is a little unsure.
It looks like a young rich second-generation who has come out to start a business, but I wonder if it's just for fun? Xu Kaidao wondered in his mind.
Zhou Dongsheng was playing with his newly purchased IP5s mobile phone. He did not choose the tacky gold color, but the black color that he was used to. The sixth generation would not be released for a few months, but Zhou Dongsheng could not wait any longer.
The most important reason for changing mobile phones is the Internet speed. For Zhou Dongsheng, who has experienced the 5G era, the 2g3g Internet speed is really torture.
Although the application scope of 4G network in 2014 is not wide enough and there are some places without 4G signal, it is enough for Zhou Dongsheng for the time being.
As for the current expensive 4G charges, the problem that if you don't turn it off overnight, even your house will become the operator's, this is not within Zhou Dongsheng's consideration.
Zhou Dongsheng is now very strong, as hard as an iron pestle every morning.
During the few days in Yangcheng, all the company procedures entrusted to professionals were completed, and Xu Kaidao was the professional management talent recommended by the headhunters.
He is 39 years old, a manager of the marketing department of an Internet company, with a flat head, wearing a pair of frameless glasses, and looking quite capable.
He looked through Xu Kaidao's resume in his hand. He had a rich resume. The expected annual salary of 500,000 alone made him a social elite that Zhou Dongsheng envied in his previous life.
Zhou Dongsheng secretly sighed in his heart, he used to be the one being picked, but he didn't expect that there would be a time when he could pick others, how cool!
Of course there are talents with annual salaries of one million among the headhunters, but Zhou Dongsheng cannot use them now. The temple is too small to accommodate the big Buddha, and the big Buddha does not look down on it.
Even if you have money, you should spend it frugally and spend it on the right things.
"Manager Xu Kaidao, right? You are also an Internet professional. The 4G network has been in use for more than half a year. What do you think about the future of the 4G era?"
The interviewer Zhou Dongsheng had little experience and just casually threw out a general topic.
"In the 4G era, the increase in network speed has a huge impact on the development of mobile Internet. It is not only a part of the Internet, but may even become the future of the Internet. The rise of mobile Internet is a new challenge for old Internet companies, but also a huge opportunity for some companies..."
Xu Kaidao probably didn't expect Zhou Dongsheng to bring up such a grand topic, so he organized his words and started talking.
"I think that in the 4G era, mobile Internet will open up more tracks and give birth to new Internet giants. The e-commerce and social networking fields are already saturated, but there is still much room for development in the gaming field."
It is difficult for people today to predict the future without being limited by technology and thinking. Xu Kaidao's remarks do have some insights, but they lack imagination and are a bit conservative.
But it doesn’t matter. Xu Kaidao is a management talent with management ability, which is exactly what Zhou Dongsheng needs.
"So what do you think of the concept of 'Internet celebrity'?" Zhou Dongsheng continued to ask.
"Internet celebrities? In my opinion, they are a symbol of the Internet. It is precisely because the Internet allows people to speak freely and express themselves that some grassroots people have the opportunity to become Internet celebrities. Although some of them are sensationalists, netizens also like to have fun."
Xu Kaidao continued, slowly becoming more interested in Zhou Dongsheng.
"Yes, the key point is the fun. People surf the Internet for fun. In the future, with the mobile Internet under the 4G network, everyone can use a smartphone to surf the Internet. What is the most lacking thing in our country? People!"
"With more traffic and more diversified demands, more people will have the opportunity to come to the fore. Internet celebrities are scarce now, but they will be common in the future. Even everyone can be an Internet celebrity, as long as you have a mobile phone."
"The mobile Internet is like a stage with a huge audience. Anyone can stand in the spotlight and become a celebrity on the Internet. Anyone can become an overnight sensation and have tens of millions of fans."
Zhou Dongsheng smiled and raised the phone in his hand. "And this is exactly what I want to do. It is also the business direction of our Little People Media Co., Ltd."
"We can discover internet celebrities and incubate them. Internet celebrities are our products."
This is also the prototype of the future MCN internet celebrity agency. Most of the popular internet celebrities have mature promoters behind them. Internet celebrities come and go, but MCN companies remain. Many internet celebrities, as products of the company, often have no autonomy.
Only a very few can start their own business, just like in the entertainment industry.
"As long as you have traffic, you have the ability to monetize it. Internet celebrities are traffic, and the Internet celebrity economy is the future... Xiaorenren Media turns small people into Internet celebrities."
Xu Kaidao understood Zhou Dongsheng's meaning and looked at him with shining eyes.
Zhou Dongsheng smiled and extended his hand, "Welcome to join us. A salary of 500,000 yuan a year is no problem. The equity incentive will depend on your ability ."
"I will try my best and treat the company as my own career." Xu Kaidao stretched out his hands and held Zhou Dongsheng's hands.
"The company has just been established, with a registered capital of 10 million for company development. I need your help with the location and company structure. For company recruitment, we need to reserve talents such as video editors and copywriters. There is one more thing. I need you to contact someone. He will be the first product we will create next!"
Professional matters should be left to professionals, otherwise why would Zhou Dongsheng spend 500,000 yuan a year? Just to be a hands-off boss.
"Which one?" Xu Kaidao had already entered working mode.
"He's a retired professional e-sports player. I'm very optimistic about his potential. If we can sign him, our company will have its first hit product."
"A gamer? Does he have such great potential?" Xu Kaidao thought to himself.
"Okay, Mr. Zhou." But Xu Kaidao still nodded in agreement.
Even though Xu Kaidao had no idea who this person was, he knew that he just had to execute the order.
As an employee, even if you are the vice president, before you have shares, you are just an extension of the boss's will. You only need to do your best to serve the boss.
This is the professional quality that Xu Kaidao possesses as an excellent worker.
Afterwards, the two signed a series of related contracts, and Xu Kaidao was assigned the position of vice president of the company, which was considered a promotion, although it was only a small company.
Zhou Dongsheng also spent money to hire a law firm to handle the contract, which included confidentiality clauses and non-competition agreements.
At the same time, we also hired a special accounting firm to supervise the company's finances. This is the prudent nature of a small person.
After all, Xu Kaidao had just arrived and there was no trust to speak of, so it was reasonable to use courtesy first and then force. Although it was said that one should trust the people he employed, one should still be on guard against them. Zhou Dongsheng did not want to end up becoming a dowry for someone else.
What's more, the importance of this company is self-evident. If it can really be as Zhou Dongsheng remembers, it must be one of the top MCN companies in the country.
Things that can be solved with money are easy to solve. Although the lawyer and accountant cost six figures, Zhou Dongsheng still didn't want to save this little money, so as not to fall into the trap and regret it in the future.
Let Xu Kaidao handle the company's affairs. It will take some time to get the company back on track.
Before that, Zhou Dongsheng had to go back to his hometown. He had been away for long enough. If he didn't go back, Zhang Xuhui would probably be ready to work independently.
Zhou Dongsheng is not going to let him go. One cannot put all his eggs in one basket. After all, Zhou Dongsheng is just a small figure and his knowledge of the future is very limited. Diversified investments are in line with Zhou Dongsheng's prudence.
With a net worth of only tens of millions, if one encounters any industry crisis, it will be buried in an instant.
Being a stranger in a strange land, even though Zhou Dongsheng is now able to own a place in such a big city, it is not cost-effective to buy a house now.
It is better to rent than to buy. Your capital can be of great use. If nothing else, the stock market will start to pick up soon.
Zhou Dongsheng didn't want to miss the opportunity to make money.
