Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1508 B-side and C-side

Affected by the economic crisis, Ai Hui wanted to sell some assets to maintain a healthy cash flow. They chose to sell the shares of S/M Entertainment.

So much so that the media speculated that the cooperation between Ai Hui and S/M Entertainment might be over, and the two sides quickly clarified that they have jointly promoted several cooperation activities in the past few months, which can be regarded as refuting the rumors.

The company that took over the S/M Entertainment stock from Aihui is Jieyu Media, which invested a total of 502 million US dollars and got 16.9% of the shares.

With this stock, Jieyu Media has an equity partnership with S/M Entertainment, which is equivalent to a strategic cooperation.It is conceivable that the idol team under S/M Entertainment began to increase their domestic announcements.

Girls' Generation recently participated in a cultural program on Capital TV, and was brought over by Xu Baihui.

Dancing at important events or in front of important people is part of the announcement.

The music starts and the girls start dancing.

Lao Zhang was infatuated and intoxicated, feeling repeatedly, youth is so beautiful!
Zhou Buqi joked with him, "Old soldiers don't die!"

Zhang Chaoyang knew what he was referring to, but he didn't take the call, and turned to the management of the company, "Entrepreneurship is a way of life, and it must be an attitude to death. Comrade Lenin once said that the end of a soldier is the grave. For me, entrepreneurship is a death thing, no matter what happens to Sohu, I will not let go."

This has the meaning of complaining, because Sohu's stock price is sluggish, and even the rising stars Youku and Tudou are larger than Sohu. There is a voice in the industry, saying that Lao Zhang should let go of power?
Zhou Buqi didn't think this was the right idea, and said with a smile: "Yes, I heard a saying in the United States. It seems to be said by a baseball player. It's quite famous. He said that great athletes seldom retire by themselves. It's limping off the pitch."

Zhang Chaoyang agreed, "Yes!"

Zhou Buqi shook his head, looked at the young and beautiful Korean girls in the box dancing enthusiastically, and said flatly: "But I will never leave with a limp."

"So you let go?"

"what?"

"Aren't the principals of Ziweixing Xiao Zhang, Xiao Guo, Lao He, and Lao Xu?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Where are you thinking? They are also doing it according to my development philosophy. I am still young and I don't want to quit. I just put more energy on overseas business."

At this time, a dance was over, and the girls began to come up to toast.

I can't speak Chinese well, so I speak English directly, and the communication is fairly fluent.

Everyone took a sip, and then new music started, and they went to dance again. After taking off their coats, they wore uniform blue tight T-shirts that exposed their navels, and black leather pants underneath. The curves are really mouth watering.

But Boss Zhou and Boss Zhang are both people of status, so they shouldn't be too ostentatious.

While admiring the dance of the girl troupe and chatting, Lao Zhang said with emotion: "The girl troupe like them eat youth food."

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, it is mainly aimed at young audiences aged 15-25. This group is more fanatical and persistent. They don't feel the pressure of survival in society. They are more willing to spend money on idols, fan economy."

"Koreans can really make money in different ways." Zhang Chaoyang felt that these girls were pitiful, they were all like tools, so he sighed and said, "This is the consumption of young girls' bodies."

Zhou Buqi didn't take it seriously, and said: "You can't say that, we want to develop the economy after the reform and opening up, we are doing low-end manufacturing, and there are a large number of workers on the assembly line; in the 80s, when the Philippine economy had problems, it vigorously promoted the promotion of Filipino maids. Industry to earn foreign exchange; Soros launched a financial war against Asia in the last century, Thailand fell down, and promoted the ladyboy industry to drive tourism; in the same period, South Korea chose culture to save the country and production stars on the assembly line. There is no difference in essence, and the economy is poor If not, we can only make a fuss about people.”

Zhang Chaoyang laughed and said, "Are you conducting social surveys?"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "I have experienced your sympathy when I was in Korea. They explained it to me in this way. Cultivating boys and girls to become stars, this kind of cultural industry has a high degree of recognition."

Zhang Chaoyang's eyes were complicated, and he leaned over and said in a low voice, "Do they have the right to choose? Is it because they have to do what the manager arranges?"

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, and said: "You should still have the right to choose. They have all debuted, and they are not like ordinary trainees who are disobedient and directly blocked without mercy. If the debut team blocks a certain person, it may It will cause fans’ protests and dissatisfaction, and it will affect the company’s income. Unless you can pay a large sum of money to make up for the economic losses suffered by the agency’s banning a debut idol.”

Zhang Chaoyang laughed and waved his hands, "I'm not a bad person as you said."

Xu Baihui was next to her, leaned over and said in a low voice, "Mr. Zhang, this kind of idols are banned from dating by the brokerage company. However, this is for the outside world. As long as it is well hidden and the brokerage company approves, dating is also possible. With you The identity of the agent, there is a recommendation from the agent, and the girls will agree."

Lao Zhang quickly declined, "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that! You should arrange it for Xiao Zhou!"

Xu Baihui looked at Boss Zhou with a grin, "Would you like it? Fans in China, Japan and South Korea like Yoona and Taeyeon very much. Do you want to represent young people from China, Japan and South Korea and go with them..."

"Pull it down!" Zhou Buqi immediately rejected her bad idea, "I can't represent anyone, I can only represent myself. Each of these is made out of the same mold, just look at the face on it , who can tell who is who?"

Xu Baihui almost died of anger.

Zhou Buqi bypassed this topic, and then said to Lao Zhang: "By the way, how is Weishu used?"

"Very good! Great product!" Zhang Chaoyang was full of praise for this, "It's much easier to use than Office. Sohu doesn't use Office component products very much except for the financial and personnel departments. What kind of domestic Office is really unnecessary. Yes. It must not be another office that beats the office, I read micro-books very well."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Did I save you money?"

"It can save some money."

Zhang Chaoyang nodded.

The enterprise-level professional version of the office suite is priced at $300 each and can be used by five employees.A large company like Sohu with 5 employees would spend $3000 a year if they all purchased genuine suits.

Zhou Buqi vaccinated him in advance, "Now it is a beta version, and it is free for you to use. When it matures and is officially commercialized, Weishu will also charge a fee. You have to be mentally prepared."

"How to charge?"

"Certainly you can't sell software like Microsoft. Internet companies play the same way as Internet companies."

"Like Google Docs?"

Zhang Chaoyang also understands this very well, the company is all about making money.

However, Internet companies and traditional technology companies still have a slightly different model. Microsoft is very traditional. No matter who wants to use office software, as long as it is genuine, they have to pay for it.

Google is different.

The essence of the Internet is that it is free.

Google Docs is free.

However, there is a limitation on storage space. If the number of documents reaches a certain scale, the free space will be used up, and you will have to pay for a larger storage space.

That is the "free + paid" model.

This model is conducive to the collaboration between individual teams. For example, friends in a university dormitory can only use free space if they do one thing together.

Through free, expand the user base and form user habits.

When they enter the company, they will prefer products like Weishu.

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, it is in the same mode as Weidian Notes."

Jieyu Media is also using Weishu now, and Xu Baihui asked curiously: "By the way, I feel that Weidian Notes and Weishu's document business are quite similar, right? They are all online text records."

Zhou Buqi said: "The former is a personal business, which is aimed at the C-end; the latter is an enterprise-level product, and is aimed at the B-end."

Xu Baihui blinked and asked, "What's the difference between the B-side and the C-side?"

Zhou Buqi glared at her angrily, "I don't know what to do!"

Xu Baihui curled her lips and said, "I'm not in the Internet business."

Zhang Chaoyang helped explain with a smile: "The B-side is for enterprises, and the C-side is for individuals; the B-side pays attention to business processes, and the C-side pays attention to user experience; B-side users have high loyalty and are easier to repurchase, and C-side users are extremely dissatisfied because of competitive incentives. Loyalty; the B-side mainly focuses on selling products, and the C-side mainly focuses on the indirect monetization of traffic; the B-side pays attention to the market occupancy rate, user renewal rate, and the number of merchants covered, and the C-side pays attention to the growth rate of users, user activity and completeness. The conversion rate; the B-side pays more attention to the cooperation with the sales team, and the C-side pays more attention to the cooperation with the operation team.”

"I'll go!" Zhou Buqi was amused by him, "Old Zhang, you can do it! It's like the standard answer!"

Zhang Chaoyang waved his hand casually, "Say what you think of."

A few people were chatting enthusiastically here, but the girls who were dancing enthusiastically over there had mixed feelings in their hearts, feeling that they were being ignored.

Speaking of which, Chinese men are a hundred times stronger than Korean men.

The two big bosses who are personable and elegant have a strong charm.

Zhou Buqi went on to talk about Weishu, "Weishu has launched an English version, and the US and the UK have already launched it, and the effect is quite good. It is also documents, and Weishu documents are much easier to use than Google documents! Not only online The online communication is convenient, and the product design is also good.”

Google Docs is a proper B-end product, which means that this product is for professionals. The design of the product is very complicated. It is not like a commercial product. It is like a display platform for Google technology. It proves that Google is stronger than Microsoft in the field of Saas cloud computing.

Not to mention small and medium-sized enterprises, employees of Internet companies are at a loss for Google's B-end products.

In contrast, the document design of Weishu is much simpler and easier to use.

At least employees in the United States and the United Kingdom find the English version of Weibo very useful.
