return to bolang life

Chapter 151 Of course we must record the harvest (two in one order)
With an acceptable result in the general direction, the matter has also come to an end in Wen Liang.

Then on the 26th and 27th, that is, on Thursday and Friday, Wen Liang did not go to the company.

Wen Liang, who has been working at a high frequency since April, took advantage of the relatively stable external environment and plunged into his studies.

After all, learning is a word that runs through Mr. Wen's life!
Like [Mathematical Model] and [Complex Variable Function], Wen Liang was fascinated by listening to these two courses.

What WeChat, what little orange book has nothing to do with my classmate Wen Liang!
……

根据国办通知安排，五一假期为4月29号~5月1号，28号周六这天要上班。

Even Li Rang's children have to continue to go to kindergarten.

In the morning, Wang Wanyu made breakfast and asked Wen Liang and Li to let the two children have dinner together.

After looking at Wen Liang a few more times, Wang Wanyu smiled and said, "I'm in a good state today."

"It's okay." Wen Liang responded.

He picked up a quail egg and stuffed it into Li Rang's mouth. Li Rang's eyes narrowed, and he ate it with an 'ahhhhhhh'.

Wang Wanyu smiled and said, "You can really enjoy the fun and adjust your state in the coursework and study."

Wen Liang nodded triumphantly: "Well, everyone has also learned to sit in the classroom and forget about the complicated work."

Wang Wanyu expressed her approval: "It's amazing."

After saying a few more words, Wang Wanyu turned to ask, "Xiao Su, will you come over today?"

Hearing Wang Wanyu's question, Wen Liang recalled what happened yesterday afternoon.

After a lapse of nearly a month, Su Jian contacted Wen Liang again, and he still insisted on using text to communicate.

First, I asked for Wen Liang's Xiaocheng Book Number with a text message, and after I added it, I talked about the May Day arrangement.

Wen Liang was also very friendly, and after Su Jian sent several messages about the arrangements, he replied with an 'oh'.

Su Jian seemed to have anticipated this, and quickly sent an emoji of 'Kill me.JPG'.

Wen Liang, of course, ignored him.

Anyway, I'm going to kill them, what's the matter, just meet and talk!
It was slow to say, but Wen Liang answered Wang Wanyu as soon as he thought about it: "She will fly directly to Hong Kong this morning and arrive in Yangcheng no later than 10 pm. I have already booked her a room at the Ritz-Carlton."

After Wen Liang finished speaking, Wang Wanyu said directly: "I'll take Xiaorang to pick her up with you."

Wen Liang responded without saying anything.

This is a common arrangement.

It is said to go to Hong Kong and pass through Yangcheng on the way, but the transportation method of this journey is very illustrative.

It can be understood that Su Jian will pass by Yangcheng because Wen Liang is in Yangcheng.

Otherwise, the most convenient and fastest way to go to and from Hong Kong from Jiangxia is obviously just a plane. Now there is no direct Beijing-Hong Kong high-speed rail to Kowloon, Hong Kong.

In other words, the woman is showing sincerity from top to bottom.

He didn't rely on Old Li's position to show off, and treated Old Wen's family with that kind of married attitude.

Su Jian is also quite sincere. She has been the one who took the initiative since we met. Wen Liang seems to have forgotten that he has a fiancée who is basically finalized.

Therefore, the woman is so sincere.

Of course Wang Wanyu would show up, after all, she was Wen Liang's aunt, and she was also in Yangcheng. As the man's parent, she didn't even show her face, so she was not so polite.

Of course, even though Wen Liang has a house in Yangcheng, he has not been formally engaged yet, and Wen Liang also understands that Su Jian cannot be arranged to live at home.

…………

On the last legal working day before May Day, Wen Liang went to the company.

After spending some time flipping through the recent briefing, Wen Liang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a teacup in his hand, looking out the window.

A certain "tacit understanding" between WeChat and Xiaochengshu has been "broken" until yesterday.

As early as a few days ago, the winner of this round of competition was decided, and Little Orange Book was slightly better.

On the 25th, the traffic peak in the history of Xiaochengshu was created, but the total number of single-day user growth could not break through the peak data created before, and there was only an increase of 700 million.

The latest data this morning shows that the total number of users of Xiaochengshu has exceeded 1.27 million.

There are still three days before May Day, and it will reach 1.3 million without accident.

The increase of 300 million users is also quite a lot. After all, there are no relevant topics on the Xiaocheng Book Hot List now, and it is dominated by where to play during the May Day holiday.

At this moment, watching the spring blossoms outside the window, Mr. Wen really felt some 'emptiness' of 'invincible'.

……

At ten o'clock in the morning, Wen Liang, who touched fish for half an hour, proposed a pre-holiday summary meeting.

April is a very fruitful month for the company, which is a record one or two.

Wen Liang, who finally walked into the large conference room, looked around and sat in the middle of the narrow side of the conference table.

As usual, Wen Liang called the name directly: "Mr. Ze."

Hearing this, Li Ze opened the folder and reported the situation in an orderly manner.

"In April, Xiaochengshu and the mobile game business have achieved gratifying results. Since the launch of the new version of the app, Xiaochengshu has developed rapidly."

After saying a prologue-style summary, Li Ze glanced at the documents and materials, looked at the crowd, and continued.

"The total number of users of Xiaochengshu has exceeded 1.27 million, and the average daily activity in the past five days has exceeded 4000 million!"

"Among them, the total number of promotion partners has reached more than 1, the total number of brand partners has reached 1.5, and there are more than 3900 active brand partners!"

"The total number of mobile game users has reached 5000 million, and the average daily activity in the past five days has reached 1600 million. The Xiaochengshu App diversion effect is obvious, and the total number of casual mobile game lobby installations has exceeded 1500 million!"

"..."

Finally, Li Ze reported the revenue data: "As of a few days ago, Xiaochengshu's self-operated advertising revenue in April was 5025 million, platform advertising revenue was 9900 million, and Xiaochengshu's monthly revenue was close to 1.5 million!"

"As of the deadline, the company's mobile game business turnover in April was more than 5800 million!"

As soon as the words fell, Wen Liang took the lead in applauding.

This month is the first full revenue month for Bolang to develop its mobile game business, and walking on two legs is beginning to show its glory.

Bolang's monthly revenue has reached 2.1 million!
According to the cost-profit ratio formula: profit ÷ cost × 100%, Bolang's business cost net interest rate exceeds 100%!

For example: the total cost of Xiaochengshu’s self-operated advertising revenue is about 1000 million per month including tax, the revenue is 5025 million, and the profit is 4025 million, 4025÷1000×100%, that is, Xiaochengshu’s self-operated advertising Cost net profit margin: 402.5%!

That is: the total profit received is more than the cost paid.

However, if calculated according to the formula of sales profit ratio, that is, profit ÷ sales × 100%, Bolang's sales profit is not too high, and now the whole is only 45%.

After all, the biggest part of the 2.1 million is platform advertising revenue, and this part of Xiaochengshu has at most 30% of the gross profit.

With the size of Xiaochengshu, the platform advertising revenue of 9900 million a month is very little.

Calculated based on 1.5 brand partners, in April, each person only created an average of 6600 yuan in advertising revenue.

Counting more than 3900 active brand partners, each of them only created more than 2.5 advertising revenue on average.

Calculated based on the minimum unit of 2000 yuan for a cooperative advertisement, the average active brand partner only sent less than 4 advertisements in April.

Four weeks a month, three ads a week.

If calculated based on the median quotation of more than 8000 cooperative advertisements, the average person only sends three advertisements per month.

Based on the unit price of the cooperative advertisement of 'Ya Qi', it is only one-twentieth of her advertisement.

This is also the reason why Xiaochengshu has always been regarded as a thorn in the side of all social networking sites. Cooperative advertising is really an excellent profit model that accumulates more.

To be honest, if there were no restrictions and more attention to the platform ecology, with the business demand that Xiaochengshu tried the local life service advertising business through "Yaqi" early and succeeded, the advertisements would have been flying all over the sky.

The industry also knows that Xiaochengshu has imposed strict restrictions on advertising.

Otherwise, the platform's advertising revenue would more than double.

After all, Xiaochengshu is now called the Chinese version of Facebook.

Facebook’s advertising revenue in the fourth quarter of last year was 9.34 million US dollars, the average monthly advertising revenue in the fourth quarter was 3.11 million US dollars, and the daily active data was about 5 million.

If you simply count the numbers, Xiaochengshu’s self-operated advertising revenue is far less than one-tenth of Facebook’s in the fourth quarter of last year.

Without exception, these all show the restraint of Xiaochengshu in the advertising business.

In fact, what Wen Liang has always emphasized is to pay attention to the ecology of Xiaochengshu, and not to rush to dig deep into the advertising revenue.

……

After the applause, Tang Pu followed closely and reported on the major events of operation and maintenance.

Mainly, the cloud server resource pool has been added.

In the past month, the total number of users of Xiaochengshu has increased by 6100 million, which is a rapid development, and the server cost is naturally skyrocketing.

In April, the server cost of all Bolang's businesses more than doubled to 4 million per month!
Afterwards came the April work summary reports of Wang Wanyu, Chen Jiaxin, Xin Dai, Lin Hong, Li Bowen, Yuan Shiya, Yang Yun, Sun Baoyin and others.

Both Wang Wanyu and Sun Baoyin focused on the payment system.

This month, Bolang invested 1 million yuan to set up the first wholly-owned subsidiary named: Hui Payment.

However, the actual external operation name of the entire payment system will be named: Xiaocheng Payment.

This operation is similar to that of Goose Factory. The name of the payment company of Goose Factory is Tenpay, but then they operate two sub-businesses: QQ wallet and WeChat payment.

Now the main body of this payment system is Huipay, which is linked to a company in Yangcheng that has a nationwide payment license.

The agreement invested 2000 million, accounting for 15% of the company's total shares.

The agreement stipulates the ownership of the remittance payment system, which means temporary affiliation anyway.

After all, the company Huipay has already established a structure that meets the requirements under the full authority of Wang Wanyu, and has submitted an application for a payment business license according to the process.

Remittance Payment has now been embedded in the cooperation area of ​​the Xiaochengshu website.

In addition, the human resources department reported the recruitment affairs in April separately, and a small part of the manpower sorted out the affairs.

In addition to the school recruitment led by Lixia, Bolang newly recruited 4 employees in April.

That is: the current number of employees of Bolang Company is: 719 people.

Lixia also reported on the spring recruitment work in China Normal University and Huanong University, which were very successful, and Bolang is not far from these two universities.

However, the data is not as gratifying as Huagong. The two colleges have a total of 191 intended freshmen and 39 interns.

According to the current intended number of graduating students of 348, it is not difficult to recruit 600 graduating students in July and August this year. After all, there are still colleges and universities such as Zhongda University and Jinan University that have not launched spring recruitment.

On the whole, the reports of other departments are not as good as Li Ze's operation department can have so many gratifying data.

But each sector contributed its own strengths in the process.

All well done.

A fast-growing start-up company itself is easy to follow the passion.

…………

After listening to everyone's summary, Wen Liang cleared his throat: "Everyone has worked hard."

"May Day is coming soon, and we will discuss the work arrangements for May, and there will be no regular meetings after the festival."

After Wen Liang finished speaking, Tang Pu was the first to make a suggestion: "According to the current IT operation and maintenance situation, I think the company should start deploying a second telecom-grade computer room next month."

"When the first carrier-grade computer room that is being installed and implemented is officially opened, the total server resources can only carry all the company's current business expenses, and cannot bear the new business expenses in the future."

The budget for the telecom-grade computer room that is currently being implemented is 6000 million yuan.

Under the accounting threshold state, it can support 3000-3500 million people online at the same time.

When the original plan was made, the total number of users of Xiaochengshu was less than 4000 million, and the peak number of simultaneous online users was just over [-] million.

There are also many users who are online silently, that is, they are only online without much operation.

Most of the time, the resources of the user's local device are consumed, and the resources of the background server are very low. This type of user accounts for a high proportion, so the number of tens of millions is also very false.

Some people like Tang Pu and Sun Baoyin calculated for several days and believed that with tens of millions of simultaneous online users of this magnitude, the computer room can support 6000 million simultaneous online users after it is completed.

At that time, the development of the mobile game business was also considered.

The plan can be regarded as a long-term consideration.

just now……

It can only be said that the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

At that time, Wen Liang never thought that Xiaochengshu would encounter the best opportunity to launch communication and social functions so soon.

Now, the number of users is growing like a rocket, and the online business model has also changed a lot. The specification of 3000 million simultaneous online users will indeed soon be insufficient.

Even if the mobile game business is not migrated to the self-built computer room, it will soon be insufficient.

As soon as Tang Pu finished speaking, Li Ze immediately expressed his attitude: "I think two new telecom-grade computer rooms should be prepared at the same time. According to the original plan, the e-commerce business will be initially launched in mid-June."

Having said that, Li Ze stared at Wen Liang: "This is also an opportunity for us to develop our cloud service provider business. The reason why Amazon's AWS and Alibaba Cloud can develop so quickly is to avoid e-commerce business from being idle during off-peak seasons." Waste of resources."

Seeing this, Wen Liang said unhurriedly: "I basically agree with your opinions, but the planning of infrastructure should be more long-term and more mature. Mr. Ze took the lead in establishing a dynamic analysis model to output reports, and then bring it up."

Hearing this, Li Ze understood immediately: "Understood!"

He understands that the core meaning of Wen Liang is just two words: not enough.

Yes, Wen Liang thinks that it is not enough to prepare two computer rooms of the same size.

Wen Liang is very clear about the terrifying scale of server resources and computing power that Bolang will need in the future.

Tang Pu and Li Ze still didn't think high enough. They both ignored the smart game phone business that Wen Liang had already started drafting.

Let's not talk about chips first.

As far as the operating system at the software level is concerned, the company will take over commercialization in the fourth quarter at the latest.

The computing power resources required are massive.

Taking the Windows operating system as an example, it only takes a few ten minutes for a user to install it once, which can be supported by an ordinary computer.

but!
The minimum memory overhead required for a complete compilation of Windows is TB level!

The lowest hard disk overhead is PB level!

The time overhead depends on the performance of hardware such as CPU.

Let's put it this way, the complete source code of Windows has more than 50 G.

The ghost knows how much computing power resources will be needed to develop at that time.

It's hard to say that when the company took over the mobile phone system that Zhang Yulin participated in and started commercial development, in order to save time and cost, it had to rent Tianhe supercomputer.

Therefore, Wen Liang believes that the planning proposal needs to be considered in the long run, and there will be no rush.

While building two telecommunication-grade computer rooms of the same size, is it possible to consider building a data center directly?
After all, the expenditure is dynamic. It is not said that the construction starts today, and the total construction cost must be paid.

……

After putting forward his own opinions from the perspective of operation, Li Ze also put forward the key points of the work arrangement of the operation department in May.

"In May we mainly have a few things."

"Preparation work for e-commerce business."

"..."

"Also, sign a specially invited brand partner contract with some brand partners, and their platform percentage will be reduced to 20%."

The two busiest departments of Bolang, one is research and development, the other is operation, and almost all external affairs are handed over to operation.

Of course, PR is also responsible for a part.

After Li Ze finished speaking, several department managers put forward some constructive suggestions.

The last thing is to integrate with Wen Liang.

Wen Liang only mentioned the matter of specially invited brand partners: "Specially invited brand partners must form a system, and they will be promoted every year in May in the future. This time, relatively transparent but proactive standards must be established."

"This is also a standard reserve for the live broadcast business that will inevitably be launched in the future."

Li Ze nodded again and again: "I will cooperate with President Chen to do this well."

Wen Liang didn't mention other things.

Then Sun Baoyin notified the key arrangements of the R&D department in May from a technical point of view.

"The development of the new mobile game is progressing relatively smoothly. According to the newly adjusted development cycle, the closed beta will be available in mid-May."

"Huipay has performed well since its launch. The R&D level will be able to access the mobile game business payment option in May, and it will be available for all businesses in late May."

"..."

Sun Baoyin is the chief technical engineer and knows more about technology. He seldom accurate the launch date of a project to the sky.

Because writing code is a bit of a surprise sometimes, Sun Baoyin has written too much code himself, so he will leave a little space.

Li Ze had to take up the conversation again: "This new game is a little different, and the operation method will also be adjusted. It is recommended that the R&D department invest more resources."

Facing Li Ze's gaze, Sun Baoyin nodded calmly: "R&D and products will be operated together."

"..."

Subsequently, human resources, finance, administration, business, public relations, legal affairs and other departments all reported the key work arrangements in May.

In terms of human resources, Wen Liang is still not satisfied.

Yuan Shiya is okay as a personnel manager, but she really can't handle human resources.

However, Wen Liang didn't mean to criticize Yuan Shiya, after all, she was in charge of the human resources department as the HR manager.

So during the process, Wen Liang specially focused his eyes on Li Xia and Yang Yun.

The specific meaning can only be realized by themselves.

In terms of finance, Wang Wanyu mainly expressed a point of view: Although the company has a lot of revenue, it spent too much in April, and there is no money in the account.

It can be summed up in one word: poor.

Li Ze understands that Wen Liang wants to plan the company's data center in the long run, how could Wang Wanyu not understand.

So Wang Wanyu felt that she had to keep it close, otherwise she would be under too much financial pressure.

Who made her a gentle aunt.

Wen Liang's strides are big and fast. If the company runs out of money, nine times out of ten, he will say "Auntie, think of a way".

Wang Wanyu felt that she couldn't even cry.

In April, a cash payment of 4 million RMB was paid in one go, and Wang Wanyu was also under a lot of pressure for a while!

Of course Wen Liang understood what Wang Wanyu meant. He put his hands on the conference table and smiled helplessly: "I think everyone may have misunderstood me. It's not that the company cannot raise funds."

"Don't look at our fierce external competition, rejecting venture capital again and again. In fact, my meaning is simple. I welcome capital investment, but it must be done according to my rules."

"In the current commercial market, the rules cannot be set casually. We must first show our strength and qualifications."

After finishing speaking, Wen Liang said casually: "Think about it, everyone, before the 25th, does Bolang have the ability to raise rules in the capital market?"

Being in the middle of the game, everyone present sometimes couldn't understand why Wen Liang would operate in such a way.

Just like this time's battle with the Goose Factory, Bolang was too stubborn, and he made a fuss about the past black history of the Goose Factory.

Now that Wen Liang mentions this, they are belatedly admiring them!
…………

Before noon, the last regular meeting in April ended.

The affairs in April were summed up, and the affairs in May were arranged in a general direction.

At the meeting, Wen Liang mainly emphasized the company's internal personnel management.

Did not talk about the specific affairs of each department.

The draft of the smart game mobile phone business is also silent.

There is still a long way to go before this matter comes to fruition, and it will not enter the preparatory stage until Zhang Yulin's laboratory can come up with stage results.

Now there is just a framework, and the horoscope has not been written yet.

However, in the end, the preparatory work has to be carried out by someone.

After all, all affairs are ultimately human affairs.

That's why Wen Liang emphasized the company's internal personnel management!
After the meeting, Chen Jiaxin went to chat with Wen Liang: "There is one thing that I didn't mention at the meeting. Regarding the construction of corporate culture and the communication of corporate vision, I think we can cooperate with human resources to start advancing."

Wen Liang has no objection: "You can decide."

"Okay." Chen Jiaxin nodded, and said, "Does our company also need to establish a labor union?"

Hearing this, Wen Liang looked at Chen Jiaxin who was sitting opposite, and said with a smile: "You are the housekeeper, you should make up your own mind about such matters."

Chen Jiaxin said subconsciously: "Such a big thing..."

With that said, Chen Jiaxin glanced at Wen Liang, and then said, "Okay."

"I'll start arranging."

He understood what Wen Liang meant, and it was time for him, Chen Jiaxin, to show his abilities step by step.

Wen Liang then nodded happily: "Hey, that's right."

Seeing this, Chen Jiaxin changed the topic: "Isn't this month's revenue pretty good?"

Hearing this, Wen Liang beamed and smiled: "It's okay, I figured it out at the meeting, this month I can theoretically get a pre-tax income of 5847 million yuan, which is more than expected."

Chen Jiaxin smacked her lips: "You are too far away, but in a competitive state, the income is really considerable!"

"On the Internet, traffic is money." Wen Liang said casually.

Chen Jiaxin agreed with a smile.

At the end, Chen Jiaxin mentioned again: "Last year I was still talking about Bentley and Rolls. Now this month's revenue is 30 million yuan, and the annual revenue is [-] billion yuan. Shouldn't it be time to change the car?"

"You prodigal son." Wen Liang reprimanded pretendingly.

Of course, Chen Jiaxin knew Wen Liang very well, and Fuzhi took up the conversation: "Then wait until we move into the IFC office, so we can get a Rolls-Royce in one step."

As the housekeeper of the company, what Chen Jiaxin has to deal with is these 'trivial' little things, to share the worries of the boss Wen Liang, and to take the blame if something goes wrong.

Ever since she took over as the legal representative without hesitation, Chen Jiaxin knew this very well.

It's true that the company's money belongs to everyone, but there is still a need for some face-to-face.

Boss Wen is also a billionaire after all, and represents the image of Bo Lang, so it should be done in one step.

PS: This is a big chapter for today.

PS1: At first I wanted to divide this chapter into a volume, but I felt that I was still short of career achievements. I just re-planned it, and there should be another thirty or forty chapters.

(End of this chapter)
