Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 462: A Happy New Year
Although today is New Year's Day, a statutory holiday, the employees of Wenxue Network still have to "carry on with heavy burdens".
As a leader, Yang Luyu naturally led by example and did not neglect overtime benefits, arranging .
After all, having just completed a major strategic deployment at the company's operational level, Wenxue Network must be adequately prepared to meet the challenges that lie ahead.
This kind of benefit is really a great achievement with little money.
At the same time, facing the subsequent expansion, Yang Luyu also fully felt the embarrassment of shortage of staff. Today, Wenxue Network has to cope with both overseas and domestic markets.
With continuous investment in the domestic market, the domestic market is now catching up and easily matches the overseas market size of Wenxue Network.
Having two markets with tens of millions of users is undoubtedly Wenxue Network's biggest advantage in the short video field, but lack of manpower can easily turn into a huge burden.
At the same time, there are also funding issues. The reason why Wenxue Network has been able to develop at such a rapid speed is basically because it has exchanged money for speed, and it all relied on Zhou Dongsheng's tens of millions of US dollars in financing to support it.
According to Wenxue Network's current rapid development, this money can only support two or three months at most.
Yang Luyu naturally couldn't wait until the money was spent before getting anxious. He had to plan ahead, whether it was finding a profit point for the product or entering the next round of financing, he could solve it...
Fortunately, this short-term problem was no longer a problem last night.
When Yang Luyu thought of Ding Sanshi who was sitting in the audience, his expression was still full of joy. As one of the most powerful figures in the domestic Internet industry, the only one who dared to say that he was more influential than this big man was the two Ma brothers.
However, for Wenxue Network today, this is not a multiple-choice question. Moreover, compared with the first two, Ding Sanshi, a boss with a relatively Buddhist personality, is well-known.
Yang Luyu had admired him for a long time, but he didn't expect that Zhou Dongsheng, the strategic investor, would fulfill his promise so quickly...
Thinking of this, Yang Luyu became more and more glad for the decision he made. If he had chosen overseas capital and focused on overseas markets, perhaps things would have been different.
Looking at the 24-hour data growth report just submitted by the operation, the smile on Yang Luyu's face became even wider. How can walking on one leg be as stable as walking on two legs?
At this moment, the cell phone rang and a message showed the three words "Zhou Dongsheng".
Yang Luyu picked up the phone and stood up immediately. A distinguished guest has arrived, so shouldn’t he open the bed to welcome him to show his sincerity?
…
On the other hand, Cao Guowei, the CEO of Weibo who was far away in Beijing, took advantage of the New Year's Day holiday to have a good sleep. After waking up, he leaned on the bed and opened Weibo as usual to pay attention to today's relevant information.
Although Weibo had already become independent in 2014 and was listed separately, becoming the first listed Chinese social media, and was taken over by his subordinate Wang Gaofei.
But for Cao Guowei, using his own products has long been a daily routine, and he is also a heavy user of Weibo.
When I saw the "Golden Second Award" on the hot search, I couldn't help but exclaim. When I clicked it, I noticed two familiar faces.
The first one is naturally his old friend Ding Sanshi, and the second one is the young man he met at the dinner party in Wuzhen, Zhou Dongsheng!
"Old Ding is really willing to support the younger generation. The level of support he provides is not just that of an illegitimate child, but even greater than that of an illegitimate child." Cao Guowei muttered, with a smile on his face.
Ever since the dinner in Wuzhen, this group of old friends have been teasing Ding Sanshi about this matter.
Although they are all Internet tycoons with considerable wealth, they are still human beings and should not be out of touch with the world.
"This young man has really big ambitions. This Golden Second Award... is he aiming to become a benchmark in the short video industry?" Cao Guowei touched the stubble on his chin.
As the saying goes, the layman sees the excitement, while the expert sees the details. Cao Guowei took a look at the sub-awards of the Golden Second Award and roughly understood the intention behind it.
Especially the final annual award, the intention to promote [Papi Jiang] and [Muziqi] is obvious. These two outstanding short video creators are also well-known video bloggers on Weibo!
It can even be said that Weibo is the main battlefield for these two people, especially Papi Jiang, who first made a splash on the Internet, which was on Weibo.
Even Cao Guowei has heard of such high-quality content creators within the company.
Weibo should have been the first to give honor and recognition to such high-quality content creators who made their fortunes on it, but unexpectedly, an "outsider" got there first.
Although this short video platform is not comparable to industry giants such as Kuaishou and Meipai, or top Chinese social media such as Weibo, it is like the between the light of a grain of rice and the brilliance of the bright moon.
But it still attracted Cao Guowei's attention. Ding Sanshi's harmless smile in the picture was enough.
It is precisely because of Ding Sanshi’s Buddhist character that he was able to gain his attention and support, which further proves his optimism about the short video field, as well as the young man he brought to the dinner in Wuzhen… …
"It is indeed a good idea to set an industry benchmark, but as a newcomer, why are you rushing into this? Aren't you afraid of taking a big step and getting into trouble?"
"By comparison, Weibo is more qualified to do this. Since Lao Ding is so optimistic about this young man, I will teach him a good lesson."
Cao Guowei couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile, and then called Wang Gaofei, the current president of Weibo, and said, "Old Wang, have you seen the Golden Second Award on the hot search?"
"I think this is a very good idea, and it has the foresight to become a benchmark for the industry. This kind of thing should be done by us, the leader of Weibo..."
"But it doesn't matter if we fall behind. The Internet is not about who runs faster..." Cao Guowei said slowly, and Wang Gaofei on the other end of the phone was naturally not stupid and quickly understood his intention.
"No problem, Mr. Cao, we will immediately develop a plan for Weibo, and I will present it to you personally on Monday." Wang Gaofei said confidently.
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." After saying that, Cao Guowei hung up the phone. He left the matter to his subordinates. Of course, he still had to enjoy a happy vacation.
…
Zhou Dongsheng naturally ignored this. As soon as he arrived at Wenxue Network, he saw Yang Luyu coming towards him with a smile on his face.
"Seeing that President Yang is so happy, it seems that our Douyin short video's first shot of the new year has been fired?" Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
"It's all thanks to Mr. Zhou. I was just thinking about sharing this good news with Mr. Zhou, but I didn't expect that Mr. Zhou would come first. This person just can't stand being nagged..." Yang Luyu said happily.
"Okay, let's talk inside. I also want to see the effect of the Golden Second Award." Zhou Dongsheng readily agreed, and the two of them walked in happily chatting.
