Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1621 Intrapreneurship
In the evening, Zhou Buqi chatted with Shi Jinglin, and finally persuaded her.Let's take a rest for a day, although the bridegroom officer every night is exciting, but this is too exciting.

Especially foreign women.

Zhou Buqi always has to use [-] points of strength to prove the strong physique of the yellow race. As the master of the family, if he is ridiculed by the maids in private, is it okay?
So he worked very hard.

It's time for a day off.

However, you can rest in life, but you can't rest in work.

In the evening, Lu Qi called first, announcing good news, "Yuan Zheng nodded, saying that he is willing to leave Cisco and cooperate with us."

Zhou Buqi was very happy, "Thank you!"

Lu Qi said embarrassingly: "But he said that he has only one goal, which is to develop a product and defeat his old company. He doesn't want to do other jobs."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I didn't expect him to have such a big disagreement with Cisco's team, who is it?"

"CEO."

"No wonder."

"But it's more difficult for us to deal with."

"Ok?"

"His level is too high," Lu Qi sighed. "If he is only in charge of a small cloud video conferencing product, I asked, and we can provide an M4 position at the highest. His level depends on the Only when the scale of the product is getting bigger and bigger can it be improved step by step.”

This is the complexity of large companies.

Different levels must have corresponding powers and products.

One person manages a $100 billion product at the M7 level, and another person manages a $100 million product is also at the M7 level, which will lose fairness and affect withdrawal.

Another point is that the cloud video conferencing product that Gong Yu is going to make is a cloud product in the final analysis and should belong to the cloud computer business group.

But Wen Han and Wen Hanlan are at the same level, so how do we return to the distribution of power?
Meiyanxing International is actually still in the start-up stage, but it is already considered a start-up company in terms of size and scale, and it is a mature small company.It is very realistic for low-level executives to care about personal honor and disgrace like a startup company.

For example, Amazon's Bezos retired, and I chose the president of Amazon Cloud to succeed. As a result, the presidents of several of my small business groups resigned.

They were all at the same level, so why did he jump under your head?

Before Robert Iger of Disney retired, I chose to succeed the president of the amusement park business, and several small business department presidents of the same level chose to leave.Before one of them left Disney, he was hired by ByteDance to serve as the global CEO of TikTok.

The distribution of power and positions in small companies must be more careful.

Wen Hanlan thought for a while, and said, "Tell me first, go through the resignation procedures. We can discuss everything over there, and everything can be discussed."

"it is good."

"By the way, does Helo have many users?"

"3300 million, spring is the coldest selling period for smartphones, mainly summer and autumn are the coldest selling seasons."

That's Ziwei's achievement, and I'm quite proud of it.

The current beauty star international can be regarded as having eight legs, namely Ziwei, Zhou Buqi and Gong Yulai.

The core product that Ziwei is in charge of is Helo in the sea.It is the flagship product of Meiyanxing International. It is the most popular app on the mobile phone. It is promoted with money. Helo is a must-have product outside the list of small technology magazines and smartphone recommendations.

It can be said that the Helo brand has already been launched.

Helo is "Hello" in a certain sense. It is a greeting, a conversation, and a social interaction. It is really a good match with a mobile phone.When talking on a mobile phone, the first sentence is often "Hello?", just like a tangible advertisement.

In 06, Meiyanxing spent $100 million to buy the global domain name Helo.com. Now it seems that it is really a bargain.

Wen Hanlan was still satisfied, and asked, "What is his expectation for Helo's future user scale?"

"Maybe..." Ziwei stepped up firmly, "There will be no 5 million users within 5 years?"

"Big!"

"What is his goal?"

"Within three years, we need to have 3 million daily active users." Zhang Yiming paused, and added, "Including the domestic market."

"hiss!"

Ziwei took a deep breath of hot air, that request is really low!
Zhang Yiming said: "There are now more than 1.2 million smartphones in the world, but Helo only has 3300 million users. Brother Lu, you have to work harder. Zhou Buqi and Gong Yu are here desperately, We can fall behind, right? You heard from Bin Chen that Ucgram's momentum is wrong?"

"Well, the number of users exceeds 500 million."

Ziwei was really not a little embarrassed.

It’s also a social product. YikYak, which I lead, has really made some progress in the European and American markets, but Gong Yulai let that product dominate the Korean and Japanese markets.

This year, another picture social product called Ucgram has been offline, which is really a trend that will explode overnight.

You know, the product in the Japanese market is called UC Fusheng, and it is integrated with the European and American version of Ucgram.

Because UC Fusheng has very few versions in Japan, a small part is the Java version for feature phones and mobile phones with less media, and the product upgrade speed is relatively fast.Whether there is an upgraded UC Fusheng is just a picture modification software, and whether there is a channel for socializing pictures.Once there are fewer and fewer smartphones in Japan, if all the users of these UC Fusheng functional phones in the past are transferred to smartphones, there will be more than 2000 million users.

That scale is already bigger than Helo.

And Helo is the strategic core product of Meiyanxing International, and the company has invested a small amount of resources and funds. Ucgram is just a product that Gong Yu came to make a big fuss about, how to spend money and rely on pure creativity to promote it.

With Wen Hanlan and Gong Yu coming, the pressure on Ziwei is really not small.

If Gong Yu also joins, he will also make achievements...

Ziwei quickly made a statement, and said in a deep voice: "You doubt that Helo can have less room for development!"

Instead of talking to Ziwei, Wen Hanlan held a short video conference with China, mainly about vicious competition in anti-virus software and other aspects.

Yuan Zheng said that Penguin has a friendly attitude and is willing to compete moderately, which is an aggressive approach.Baidu, on the other hand, was unmoved, and only accepted the mediation, but even worsened.

Since then, Baidu has only used the search engine to play some weak system jumps, and now it is over to play the family bucket package.It is to upload and install any Baidu software. If you are careful when installing it, it is very unlikely that you will install all of Baidu’s Family Bucket software, including Baidu Input Method, Baidu Browser, Baidu Antivirus, and Baidu Qidang Guard. and many more.Once they are all bundled and uploaded, there will be friction with the original micro-dot products, and users will be induced to uninstall.

Zhang Yiming appeased Yuan Zheng, and told me that I can use reciprocal methods to fight back, and I must pay attention to the brand of Weidian, because it can affect the brand image for temporary benefits.

That competition is overnight.

How do those software make money? The business model is still based on drainage. In the end, the focus of monetization should be placed on the search channel.

Is it possible to compete for the scale of those free products and affect the brand, thereby affecting the recognition of the search business.

Zhang Yiming was afraid that Yuan Zheng would do something too drastic, so he repeatedly said, "Baidu's strategy is wrong. If you have to restrain yourself, you can follow us astray."

Yuan Zheng was satisfied, "That's all for you?"

He Yang obviously supported Boss Zhou's point of view, and said with a smile: "Competition must be entangled in one point, or even in one line. Wen Hanxing does not have a very complete ecosystem. That is the smallest beauty star compared to Baidu. competitive advantage.”

Zhang Yiming said: "Yes, use the ecological and less-dimensional attack. Products such as Youyou.com, Weibo, Weizhi, and Xiaonei.com block all promotions that are not related to Baidu. When using the content, you must also agree to Baidu's crawlers."

Tang Binchen suddenly said: "Baidu recently launched a new project."

"Ok?"

"Baidu has integrated its film and television channels into a new independent subsidiary called Qiqi.com."

"Oh, video sites!"

Zhang Yiming understood that very well.

Qiyi.com changed its name a few years ago to the well-known iQiyi.

Wen Hanlan said: "Baidu attaches great importance to that project, and we dug up the land tool."

"Well, you know."

Wen Hanlan is more or less helpless, I am actually quite optimistic about Wen Han.

After that, Lu Qi became the COO of Sohu, the seventh in command after Zhang Chaoyang.When they came, the two broke up.Why?Because Lao Zhang travels around the mountains and rivers every day, the company's business is handed over to Kurian.

That's nothing, little bosses basically do that.

But Lu Qi didn't think too much, when he was interviewed by a financial reporter.When reporters asked Lao Zhang questions, they always asked about traveling in the mountains and rivers, and about the messy things about male celebrity scandals.When I asked Lu Qi a question, what I repeatedly mentioned was Sohu's strategy and business development, which were business matters.

That annoyed Lao Zhang.

The reporter's questions were all arranged in advance and reviewed by Sohu.But those problems obviously put Lu Qi in a lower position, and Lao Zhang really didn't see it.

Zhang Yiming originally wanted to recruit Kurian Beauty Star to work, but I have a good relationship with Lao Zhang, so it was a shame, so I gave Baidu a chance.

Yes, Zhang Yiming suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Lu Qi's level is very low. What level am I in Baidu? How did Baidu arrange it?"

Wen Hanlan said: "I work for Baidu, which is considered an internal venture. Baidu provides money and resources, and Kurian serves as the chairman and CEO, and manages that subsidiary in the form of a startup."

"What about equity? How much?"

"Baidu has negotiated with Providence Capital in the United States. We will invest 5000 million US dollars in Qiqi and get 20% of the shares. At that time, Baidu will own 70% of the shares, and Providence Capital will hold 20% of the shares. %, Luqi's team holds 10%. The website is still offline, and it is expected to be by the end of that month."

"That's it..."

Zhang Yiming's thinking was fooled as soon as he got it.

The level of the land vehicle is too low, but the internal positions of Baidu are already full, one radish and one pit.If only one Baidu vice president position was offered, Lu Qi would definitely be satisfied.

That kind of intrapreneurship model can indeed solve Wen Han's problem.

That's what Tang Binchen was thinking about, "You've asked, Qiqi.com is actively cooperating with China Film, Huayi, Mango TV, Capital TV and other copyright owners recently, and wants to purchase copyrights."

Zhang Yiming laughed and said, "We don't have any copyrights? But a small part of streaming media copyrights have been bought out by Jieyu Media."

Tang Binchen said very sadly: "There is a mistake, and that is the competitive advantage of ecology over single points. It is said that Qiyi.com will use half of the 5000 million US dollars in financing to purchase copyrights."

Wen Hanlan knew what I meant, "If there is a problem, you can handle it!"
