return to bolang life

Chapter 178 is the beginning and the end

The continuation of the rivalry dubbed the 'Small and Micro' battle is chaotic and anxious.

Little Orange Book can only deal with it passively.

The outside world is waiting for clear results.

Weibo also arranged the online "Mid-year Great Offering" event on the evening of the 18th as quickly as possible.

All kinds of spectators now generally believe that the watershed will be drawn this night.

Mr. Jia, as well as a group of senior executives and some middle-level managers also think so.

In the early morning of the 18th, the employees were given chicken blood.

The momentum is surging.

"Everyone has worked hard these past few days and has been working all the time, but the hardest days are over!"

"Today is the last level!"

"There is no need to pay attention to Little Orange Book in the future!"

"Mr. Wang has decided to take a five-day holiday for the Dragon Boat Festival, all of which are paid holidays!"

"..."

The 'traitor group' created by No. 1 is naturally against the tune at this time.

"I won't talk about anything else. The Dragon Boat Festival already has three days. Two days extra is like a gift? There are no weekends off for 6 days this month!"

"Really think that Xiao Chengshu is dead?"

"Little Orange Book was only affected by the nasty things that happened, and it's not like it hasn't been doing anything for such a long time."

No. 1: "Didn't you find that most people in the company are not in a good mood? There have been few procrastinations this week?"

"Brother still understands."

"The online event tonight was originally planned for Saturday, but it was abruptly delayed until today."

"There are still some things that are not implemented properly. Aren't there still people breaking the news on the Internet?"

No. 42: "In fact, these are not important. The point is that the current trend has been proving that Xiaochengshu's appeal is necessary! Let the whole network think that the network environment really needs a clear action!"

No. 1: "Yes, tonight's event is a success, and it can only last for a while. When Xiaocheng Shu recovers, it will still decline."

"Brother, are you ready to find a way out?"

"I took advantage of my lunch break to meet with a company two days ago, and it's probably not bad."

"I heard that the personnel department has received a lot of resignation applications, but they have not been approved."

Number 1: "I'm still waiting for the 'trial'."

He also proposed to resign, and he was one of the resignation applications that were suppressed and not approved.

Moreover, he knew in his heart that he would not be able to leave Weibo decently.

"Elder brother didn't make it, but it's time to find another way out."

"Yeah, it's time for me to revise my resume."

"..."

The enthusiasm revealed up and down on Weibo is very vain.

Many people are looking for horses on donkeys.

In fact, the chaos within Weibo has not stopped since the beginning of the month.

Now it's further manifested.

There is a procrastinating process, and there are endless ways to grind foreign workers.

The elegant way of saying it is: the house leaks happen to rain all night.

If Weibo can really bring back the daily activities of the platform because of an online event, and further improve the platform ecology, then there is still hope.

…………

On the 18th, Wen Liang has no exam arrangements.

At 9 o'clock, Wen Liang set off for the company.

His mood was not affected by the battle of 'Xiaowei', the biggest hot spot on the Internet.

It is not a simple matter to let a public social platform with more than 3 million users decline, and it is normal for the process to have twists and turns.

but……

He is not in a hurry, someone is 'in a hurry'.

As soon as the car drove into the avenue, Wen Liang's cell phone rang, and the note that jumped on the screen was 'Su Jian'.

As soon as the phone was connected, Su Jian's voice came out: "Is the boss at work?"

"On the way."

"It's almost noon, why don't you be so leisurely?"

"Ah."

"Earlier in the morning, I saw news on the Internet that the winner was about to be decided. Why don't you seem to be under pressure?"

"Normal development."

"..."

Listening to Su Jian's 'babbling', Wen Liang understood a little bit.

Sure enough, Su Jian said in the next second: "Would you like to have a soft meal? I heard from my mother that there is an uncle who is promoting the mouth."

Wen Liang laughed: "There is no need to be so concerned about such ordinary and simple business matters."

Su Jian said clearly: "No wonder you are only appealing."

"Business is business." Wen Liang said with a relaxed tone, "Even if system power is needed, it is a conventional, normal, and compliant business method to participate."

Su Jian replied: "I see, old-fashioned old man with no interest!"

He also said: "Just now I kind of understood what Grandpa said, sometimes the simplest solution is often the most complicated."

Hearing this, Wen Liang made a lala comment: "You are not as good as old Li when you see your enlightenment."

Su Jian: "...you have the ability to say it face to face."

Wen Liang replied quite calmly: "I have no ability."

Su Jian turned and said, "Okay, I'll finish the exam today, and I'll go to my grandfather's house tomorrow and the next two days, and I'll go to Yangcheng the day after tomorrow."

Wen Liangle: "Good guy, are you going to fool Old Li?"

Su Jian was too lazy to talk, and hung up the phone with a bang.

'I usually go to my grandpa's house to live at the end of the semester! '

…………

…………

10 points.

Bolang's uncommon regular meetings are held in the large conference room.

Wen Liang swept across the meeting room, and said in a low voice: "This month, we have a second regular meeting because of Weibo, so let's talk about it."

Tang Pu was the first to report the situation: "The online content review department has 156 people on duty, and has been able to cooperate with the platform public opinion system to maintain the normal review of platform content."

"Unify the work schedule with the operation and maintenance department, and also cooperate with third-party service companies."

The online content review department is temporarily under the management of the operation and maintenance department.

Whether it is within Bolang or a third-party company, there are now night shift personnel on duty.

Because operation and maintenance has always been guaranteed 7×24 hours.

只不过一般的时间安排是三班倒，0点到6点，6点到16点，16点到24点。

All think that the most comfortable is the third period.

Fortunately, they all take two full 24-hour breaks in the last shift, and then they can turn to the third period.

Of course, with this kind of work system, you have to go to work on holidays, but you will be paid multiple times for shifts during holidays.

Xin Dai also reported: "Public relations are working hard to alleviate the ecological crisis of the platform's content, and a normalized content crisis response team has been established."

"It is my responsibility that there is still a situation where I am too tired to deal with the situation that has been planned in advance."

PR does have a responsibility.

But little responsibility.

In a word, manpower is sometimes poor.

The number of staff we had previously had was adequate for the average situation, but not for this crazy situation.

Even with the help of the resources of a third-party service company, it is hard to guard against.

Because it is impossible to stop new user registrations.

It is also impossible to ban all members from speaking.

Moreover, Xiaochengshu not only has a public social module, but also a social communication module, which adds to the difficulty.

Then Li Ze continued: "We have tried our best from the very beginning, and the current passive situation has something to do with our lack of progress in contacting entertainment stars. This aspect is my responsibility."

"I……"

Wen Liang suddenly reached out to interrupt Li Ze, and said directly: "Don't get into the bad habit of admitting your mistakes and taking responsibility as soon as you come up, can anyone avoid it?"

Then he said, "Don't you have a solution?"

It was Li Ze who was talking about, but Xin Dai's expression was very tense.

She knew that Wen Liang's words about bad habits were meant for herself.

Bolang seldom meets, and even less engages in internal accountability.

This bad head was brought up by her.

She also knew that Wen Liang would not want to hear her admitting her mistakes, what she wanted was for her to remember the key to the problem, formulate the process, and stop being in a hurry.

Here, Li Ze quickly opened the file: "There are two types."

"One is to give up trying to attract entertainment stars and continue to give play to our advantages. Since the launch of the massive value platform, the revenue of the advertising business has improved qualitatively. Weibo is now overdrawing the future, and it will decline sooner or later."

"One is to spend money to invite celebrities to settle in."

Wen Liang frowned.

Glancing at Li Ze, Wen Liang didn't reprimand him in public, but said in a neutral tone, "Is that all?"

Facing Wen Liang's gaze, Li Ze replied: "Yes in the general direction, the difference lies in the details."

"Then think about the details." Wen Liang made a gesture.

Then he looked at everyone: "The purpose of this meeting is Weibo, not Weibo."

"Things have developed to the present, and various problems accumulated during the rapid development of the company have also been exposed. You must come up with practical solutions, and don't think about diverting internal attention through external conflicts;
When encountering things, why is there still chaos internally? Take the time to find the root cause and solve it! "

With that said, Wen Liang stood up: "Don't always mend Gu Quan."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was a little frozen.

Although everyone is not surprised by Wen Liang's ability to directly point out the essence, they are more or less silent.

Li Xia was the first to respond solemnly: "Understood!"

"..."

All the people in the meeting responded in awe.

This concludes the meeting.

This is one of the few meetings that Bolang held a special meeting but did not form a resolution.

The details of the solution were not immediately finalized.

As for the "small and micro" battle, Li Ze was right. There are indeed only two directions, and the initiative is also on Xiaochengshu's side.

However, Wen Liang was not satisfied with the proposal even for this small matter.

……

As soon as Li Ze left the conference room, he immediately walked into Wen Liang's office next to him.

Glancing at Li Ze, Wen Liang asked bluntly, "Is there any other way?"

"It doesn't count." Li Ze simply explained, "The two directions I mentioned are the same, one is slow and the other is fast."

Wen Liang withdrew his gaze, looked out the window, and said slowly: "I am 20 years old now, I like sports cars, yachts, airplanes, famous watches, and night parties."

"At 30 or even 40, I can still like it, but at 40, my wrinkled face and increasingly bloated body are no longer as romantic as I am now at 20."

"Speaking so much nonsense, I want to tell you that today I can make concessions for the decline of Weibo, but tomorrow I won't need it."

"I'm also telling you that today I want to see Weibo decline, but I can't wait until tomorrow."

Then, Wen Liang looked at Li Ze: "So, aside from the matter of entertaining stars, do you have any other ideas?"

Li Ze was a little ashamed: "Yes, if you don't cooperate with popular entertainment stars, the attack on Weibo is not sharp enough."

"It's not advisable to spend money." Wen Liang just said, "If you pay this signing fee today, you will also ask for that one tomorrow. If you don't pay it, there will be trouble."

Li Ze understood a little bit: "No wonder the 2 million incubation fund on Weibo suddenly became silent."

He also said: "We have no other good solution in a short period of time. The resistance encountered in contacting entertainment stars has multiplied in recent days, and they are all up for grabs."

Wen Liang glanced at Li Ze, and finally offered a solution: "Then raise the price."

Li Ze: "?"

Wen Liang just looked at Li Ze fixedly, waiting for him to figure out the meaning.

If you stand in 2016 and beyond, Li Ze probably understands it in seconds.

Because at that time, it was a time point when a particularly 'interesting' operation that could be called 'textbook-level' gradually produced a super-large-scale chain reaction.

That operation is called: increase the price and remove the inventory.

Fortunately, Li Ze's mind is still good, and he quickly thought of the beauty of it.

Then Li Ze said one word: "Bull."

…………

That night, Weibo's "Mid-year Great Offering" activity was in full swing.

Weibo provides a variety of ways for netizens to interact with entertainment stars.

The traffic is steadily increasing.

At its peak, the number of simultaneous online users of Weibo exceeded 8000 million!
Access traffic reached 10 billion in a short period of time.

This is a very, very rare sight.

However, this is also the last highlight moment of Weibo.

Shortly after the online event on Weibo started, Xiaochengshu made an announcement through official channels.

To the effect:
[In view of the existing network environment, in order to maintain the healthy development of the Xiaochengshu platform ecology, the Xiaochengshu certification system will be fully updated soon;
In order to give every user who needs authentication a better experience, the authentication system will be closed immediately and reopened at 19 am on the [-]th. 】

The content of the announcement is not complicated.

Some explanations of the supplementary rules are not complicated, but the content makes many netizens confused.

1. Freeze the existing V certification application, and continue the process after reopening;

2. Verification has been completed for V-certified users. For those who do not meet the requirements, the certification will be cancelled. According to the terms and conditions, the application fee will not be refunded and will not be announced;

3. Individuals, celebrities, and industry users who do not meet the qualifications for V certification will be rejected. If they do not meet the qualifications and really need it, they need to be recommended by V certification users in the same industry, and special certification fees will be paid;
4. The V certification of MCN institutions, personal studios and other institutions is open as appropriate;
5. Arrange one-on-one connection with V certified users who meet the requirements;

6. Arrange exclusive channels for V-certified users who have cooperation needs and meet the requirements;

7,……

"What is Little Orange Book doing? It's weird?"

"Why did you suddenly raise the threshold of the certification system so much, so who else would apply for V certification?"

"I don't understand. Is it because of the impact of the collective transfer of Weibo public knowledge that broke the news?"

"So, is Little Orange Book in a panic? With such a big crisis, Weibo just ran an event and passed it by?"

"..."

Scourge: "You haven't found the main point, so I won't talk about it, just wait and see."

The evening wind is like a cloud: "Gao, I can only say that everything is over."
