Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1354 Prove that you are upright

Now, Ziwei Star Japan Headquarters, Ziwei Star Japan Cloud Computing Center, Jingtao, and Jieyu Media Japan Headquarters have all moved to work together in the newly purchased office building.

This is very convenient.

After chatting with Chen Dong at Jingtao, go upstairs and go to Tang Binchen.

Compared with the difficult initial stage of the Korean market, the development of the Japanese market has become smoother. The second episode of "The Voice of Japan" has been aired, which has created a sensational social effect, and even the sponsors have been enthusiastically received.

The main sponsor is YikYak, and the sub-sponsor is UC Beauty.

In fact, Zhou Buqi wanted to stick to the entertainment industry in Japan because he saw the important influence of the entertainment industry in Japanese culture, life, and work.I just want to use the sensational effect of "The Voice of Japan" to promote the Internet business.

Compared with spending a lot of money on advertising, the sponsorship of this kind of popular program is more touching.

Facts have also proved that Zhou Buqi's thinking is correct.

This move not only helped Jieyu Media open up the Japanese market, but also allowed the Internet business led by Tang Binchen to achieve a better development.

As the only cooperation platform on the Internet designated by "The Voice of Japan", YikYak, which had already gained momentum, exploded completely.

In the past half a month, Japanese netizens have interacted, left messages and commented on "The Voice of Japan" on YikYak, as many as 7.6 million!Registered users surged by 3000 million, reaching 9800 million. On the day of the second broadcast, the daily active users reached 6200 million!
That is to say, with the strong drive of "The Voice of Japan", YikYak has surpassed Yahoo Japan in terms of activity for several periods of time and has become the largest website.

It can be said that the industrial ecology of "Two-dimensional-anime-entertainment reality show-Internet social platform" designed by Zhou Buqi for Japanese business in the early stage has achieved initial results!
The only regret is that the two businesses of Blind Box and Jingtao are a bit isolated and have not been well integrated.

However, Tang Binchen has already started to take action on this. He is very high-spirited recently, and said with a smile: "We have a video site Niconico, and recently held a 'Blind Box Video Awards' event. It is to invite UP owners to take some pictures of themselves. Open the small video of the blind box, and then upload it to the website. Whoever has the most fans, views, and reposts of the video may win the prize. In the end, 50 outstanding UP hosts will be selected to share a bonus of 1 million yen .By the way, UP master means the person who uploads videos and audios. It is a word created in the Two-dimensional circle, which is quite interesting.”

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "It's a bit like a senior media person. The best marketing is event marketing. Especially event marketing for celebrities."

"Do you have any good advice?"

"It's very simple. You find two popular idols, and then ask them to play a small game of betting. Open 20 blind boxes every day, and see who can collect all the blind box figures of the Three Kingdoms first. To shoot a group of underwear photos for sale. This will have influence, which will not only increase the traffic of Niconico, but also help the sales of blind boxes, and stimulate the sales of subsequent photo albums, which will benefit the income of the brokerage company. In fact, it is to set up a bureau, act, perform, and cooperate with multiple parties to harvest fans."

"Um……"

Tang Binchen twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

He said this casually, but he didn't expect the other party's train of thought to be so swift, and he gave a very creative and good idea without even thinking about it.

Alas, the more I grow up, the more I feel that Boss Zhou is unattainable and a real business genius.

This is also the limitation of the times.

Zhou Buqi's idea, in the field of live streaming and delivery of goods ten years later, is a commonplace drama.But now it is only 2009, and this model of cross-industry collaboration is really eye-opening.

Tang Binchen took a deep breath, "I'll do it right away!"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Isn't Niconico launching a live channel?"

"Well, it's turned on, but the effect is not good."

"In this way, this gambling game can interact with YikYak. Let these two popular idols post on YikYak, set a time, and go live unboxing together. It's childlike. During the live broadcast, don't forget to promote it to fans. It is said that the blind box can be purchased in large offline shopping malls, self-service vending machines, or you can go to Jingtao to place an order. After the live broadcast is over, cut the live content into a small video, and then promote it across platforms. One thing, more fermentation A few times, the impact is greater."

Such an unscrupulous publicity method, if it is a serious actor or singer, it may be embarrassing to do it.But idol idols are different. The way they make money is to harvest fans.

The idols are changed one crop after another, and the fans are mowed over and over again.This is their job, and the more they reap, the better their work ethic.

Zhou Buqi went on to say: "This model needs to be developed, and if it is completed, it can be promoted to the Korean market. I heard that many trainees in Korea have a hard life, and if they are not popular, they will not make money. In order to recover the training funds, the brokerage company, They have to cooperate with designated nightclubs and let them go to the stage at night, which is too tragic."

Tang Binchen couldn't laugh or cry, "Boss, you are so pitiful."

Zhou Buqi coughed his throat, "Didn't you say that there are new businesses starting?"

"UC software."

"Is UC beauty?"

"Yes, UC Beauty is also a sponsor of "The Voice of Japan". The number of downloads in the past half month has exceeded 1200 million. That's not a big deal. I'm talking about the UC input method."

Zhou Buqi asked: "From the micro-dot input method?"

Tang Binchen said with a smile: "It's not the same. I can only say that the idea is similar. This is independently made by the Japanese team, and it is also a hot word association on the Internet. But in my opinion, the more important thing is the emoji function. This thing is very suitable. Japan's national character, they like it too much."

Zhou Buqi didn't care about those details, "Just do it, and continue to improve the functions. When the time is right, you can directly connect with Aster and become the default input method for Aster mobile phones in Japan."

Ziweixing's business in Japan is becoming more and more successful.

In the UC software series, the popular product UC Beauty has appeared, as well as UC Browser and UC Mobile Assistant, which are more recognized by the market.Now there is another UC input method that may soon become a hit.

This is not counting.

A few days ago, Landcraft of the United States called to report that the financing of Evernote was about to be completed.The significance of this financing is not that Ziweixing will help Evernote to promote the global market, on the contrary, it is to curb its development.

Ziweixing also has Weidian Notes. Currently, Ziweixing International Department is developing UC Notes specifically for the Japanese market based on Weidian Notes.

It is expected to hit the market next month.

But Zhou Buqi had received definite information before that, saying that the Japanese telecommunications company NNT_DoCoMo had taken a fancy to Evernote and planned to invest in it, and then introduce Evernote to the Japanese market.

Isn't this a land grab?
How does this work?
The consumption power of the Japanese market is very strong, and the subscription fee of US$1.99-2.99 per month for UC Notes is not a problem at all.As long as there are 500 million users, you can earn more than 1000 million US dollars a month, which is not a small business.

Moreover, the cloud notebook business will be an important supplement to the cloud computing business, which belongs to the field of "software as a service".

How can it be snatched by outsiders?

It's fine if it's an unknown small company, but Evernote is too famous.Zhou Buqi is very vigilant about this, and cannot give the other party the slightest chance to develop!

Take precautions!

The Japanese market belongs to Ziweixing's territory, Evernote is not allowed to come!
So Zhou Buqi gave Lu Qi a task, asking for the company Evernote to be acquired at a low price.If the acquisition fails or the asking price is too high, it will be changed to strategic financing.

One is a Japanese telecommunications company, and the other is the Internet giant Ziweixing.

How will the Evernote team be selected?
There is no doubt that I will choose Ziweixing!
In this way, Ziweixing can enter the board of directors of Evernote, grasp the financial power and a certain degree of voice, and limit the expansion of Evernote to Japan.

This trick is very ruthless, but it is a common trick used by large companies to bully small companies in business.

Take advantage of information gaps to control small companies.

Either kneel down and be obedient, or fail and get out, choose one of the two.

Inspirational stories like Meituan's reluctance to listen to Ali's fiddling, anger and betrayal and growing stronger are really rare.Most of them died tragically at their peak like the little yellow car.

Tang Binchen suddenly remembered something, "By the way, didn't you ask me to pick a female assistant for you? I've already found one. A senior student from the Department of Economics at the University of Tokyo is doing an internship in the company."

"Oh, how's it going?"

"Very good, top student, standard American English."

"Any more?"

"She made a school magazine with her classmates in her junior year, and she had quite an idea."

"Any more?"

"Hmm..." Tang Binchen hesitated, "Computer programming is definitely not good, but proficiency in operation is definitely not a problem."

Zhou Buqi almost died of anger, thinking that this is what I asked?I can only continue to remain calm, "Is there any more?"

Tang Binchen secretly figured out what the big boss meant, and tentatively replied: "She is a very beautiful girl. The University of Tokyo selects the school belle every year. She participated once and won the championship."

Zhou Buqi looked a little better, "Is there any more?"

Tang Binchen was about to faint, so he could only say: "Anyway, all the conditions are pretty good, why don't you bring them here for you to see?"

Zhou Buqi sighed.

I just feel that it's not good for a man to do this kind of thing, it's too careless.

What is the most important thing about finding a female assistant?
Do not you know?

How serious is the competition in Japan? In order to buy a brand-name bag, girls may come out to work part-time in middle school.A senior girl, I don't know how much black history she has.

How can you guarantee your character if you don't verify your identity?
If this kind of matter is left to Xu Baihui and Ning Yaxian to handle, it is guaranteed to be done properly, and they will find seven or eight young girls to choose from.Tang Binchen is good, he has selected all the people, and he has not yet verified the body, isn't this nonsense?
However, it's hard to go into too much detail about this kind of thing, so I just waved my hand, "Forget it, I don't need it. I've already looked for it in China, from the Japanese Department of the Institute of Foreign Languages, she is enough."

The one he was talking about was the new secretary, Ning Lu. Because of her passport, she didn't go abroad.

Tang Binchen was slightly taken aback, "Then what about this?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Keep it for yourself."

"Is this inappropriate?" Tang Binchen was very embarrassed.

Zhou Buqi was very surprised, "What's wrong with this?"

Tang Binchen said: "Ah, the company's articles of association, executives are not allowed to find young and beautiful female assistants or secretaries, but they must also find older sisters with stable marriages."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "That's a domestic requirement. Ziwei Star will be split up immediately, and you will belong to Ziwei Star International in the future. There is no such restriction on overseas business. It's okay, you can use whoever you like, no problem. So many restrictions."
