return to bolang life

Chapter 91 The situation is turning around! (seeking first order)
The silence in the conference room did not brew an embarrassing atmosphere.

The room was full of people who seemed unable to move their eyes.

The shock was palpable.

Wang Wanyu was the first to come to her senses and hurriedly said, "How did you think of that!"

Before Wen Liang could reply, Wang Wanyu continued on her own: "It's wonderful!"

"This time is very well chosen. Giving back to your alma mater is a matter of course. Different times have different impacts. Donate now for free, and Huagong can give the company nominal support, and it can also reduce your moral nobility."

In a short period of time, Wang Wanyu saw the essence through the phenomenon.

Seeing that everyone was still ignorant, he explained in a gentle tone: "After this competition with Weibo is over, Bolang is very likely to reach a big level. At that time, donating shares to the school for free will easily make us look great. It's not good, sometimes flattery is harder to bear than slander."

Speaking of this, Wen Liang glanced at Chen Jiaxin: "Mr. Chen should have some experience now."

Chen Jiaxin was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded approvingly. During the process of Deng Pei entering and exiting Bolang, he did have a similar experience.

Wen Liang also said: "The world is not black and white, and so are people. Now we just want to find a backer. When we ask for help, we should exchange it at an equal or high price;
I, we, and Bolang will all make mistakes, and they will always be neither black nor white. It is better and more controllable to do it yourself than outsiders. "

Wang Wanyu didn't say anything more, but she was quite proud in her heart.

Many people understand these simple truths, but not everyone knows how to use them correctly.

Chen Jiaxin and the others have nothing but sighs.

Later, Wen Liang mentioned another thing: "By the way, build an official website to display company information, and use bolang for the domain name."

This is a simple matter, everyone has no opinion.

Then they briefly discussed the proportional transfer of the 1% shares, and also connected Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng by phone, and the two had no objections.

Because what Wen Liang actually holds is 61% + 5% of the option pool, and the 5% of the option pool does not move, so 0.66% is sold in proportion, that is, 660 million shares.

After calculation, the actual shares held by Wen Liang became 60.34% + 5% of the option pool.

Chen Jiaxin and Wang Wanyu sold 10% of the shares in total.

As Wen Liang said, the first shareholder meeting was the first and only time he split his personal shares for redistribution.

Every time since then, it has been sold in such a ratio.

Finally, Wen Liang looked at Wang Wanyu: "Boss Wang, prepare some financial information. Let's go to Huagong together tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Wang Wanyu nodded.

She didn't worry about external competition at all.

This meeting also finalized some details.

…………

That night, in Room 716, Sun Baoyin demonstrated some of the new features of Xiaochengshu that he had worked overtime with everyone from the R&D department.

After several adjustments and accelerations before and after, it was finally officially launched.

It highlights several tweaked features.

"There are two buttons on the top of the homepage of the app: [Follow], [Recommend], and enter the recommendation by default. The recommendation algorithm in this part has been iterated twice, and the effect is not bad now;

There are three buttons at the bottom of the home page: [Home], [+], [Me]. "

"The vertical category is changed to tags starting with #. Currently, there are 19 built-in tags, including 11 neutral/male tags, and user-created tags are supported."

"..."

Sun Baoyin demonstrated the new version while talking, and looked back at several people.

Everyone thinks it's not bad.

Wen Liang also made a decision: "No problem."

"I wanted to ask before, won't our website be revised?" Li Bowen interjected curiously.

Li Ze replied: "The focus of users has shifted to the mobile terminal, and the current web version is also sufficient."

Wen Liang continued from the sidelines: "You reminded me that now the advertisements on the App side can be displayed normally gradually, and users can actively choose to block them."

Li Ze thought for a while: "I'll make a plan for this matter, and start to implement it after the competition with Weibo is clearer."

"Very stable." Tang Pu gave a thumbs up.

Li Ze briefly talked about his operation strategy: "This is what I think. After the zero-point push update, some strategies need to be designed. For example, the App user's original label first invites some people to try it out."

Wen Liang also praised Li Ze: "Very stable!"

"..."

At 14:0 on the 20th, Xiaochengshu pushed the new version of the app through various channels.

Li Ze also specially arranged some suitable advertisements.

A small number of night owls who are still active in the middle of the night focused on the Xiaochengshu platform for some discussions.

"Aside from other things, Xiaochengshu is very dedicated to updating the software this evening. The new version seems to have quite a lot of functions. Download it and have a look."

"It's the simple style I like. It can be refreshed all the way down. It's great! All the categories on the webpage are gone. I don't know what has been changed."

"It's a label, and it supports creating labels by yourself, but it seems that you need to be invited. I just got such an experience qualification."

"It's not just invited, it's said that the accounts of all brand partners have this permission, I'll create a game label first!"

"It seems that a lot of things have been updated this time. I see that there is a logout button in the settings."

"There is also a youth mode. I tried it, and it seems that I can't see those advertisements even if I actively search, and I can't see some more adult content."

"I saw a strange thing called copyright protection. No wonder Bolang won again with the officials of several companies yesterday. It's really rare to see such a copyright-conscious website in China!"

In the end, someone posted a message that won the approval of countless netizens: "Exit the software and open other software, and suddenly feel that other software is too dirty and messy!"

"..."

Naturally, Li Ze would not miss the heat brewed in one night.

If you can’t get on Weibo hot searches, you can still get on other platforms.

Early in the morning, according to the inflow of Xiaochengshu's traffic, Li Ze cut a recording of the call between Qian Dejian and Wen Liang and played it out.

…………

…………

The Magotan driven by Wanan slowly drove into Huagong.

At the beginning of the winter vacation, the campus is still the same as usual, and it doesn't seem more deserted.

The car parked steadily in the parking lot near the administrative building. Wen Liang walked in with Wang Wanyu, and soon met Ms. Wang Yingjun in the principal's office.

Seeing Wang Yingjun, Wen Liang smiled and reported himself: "Hi principal, I'm Wen Liang, please forgive me for disturbing you."

Be neither humble nor overbearing.

There was an appointment in advance, and Wang Yingjun had heard Wen Liang's name before, so he was not surprised. He got up and took a step forward, and greeted him kindly: "Hello, Wen Liang, please sit down."

Wen Liang nodded in response, not in a hurry, and sat down after the other party came to the reception sofa first.

After taking their seats, the office secretary also brought tea to Wen Liang and Wang Wanyu.

Wen Liang introduced Wang Wanyu at the right time.

Later, Wen Liang didn't hesitate, and went straight to the point: "At the beginning of last year, I founded a company with several classmates and alumni of the school. It is to gain a reputation, and one is to give back to the school.”

After hearing Wen Liang's straightforward remarks, Wang Yingjun took a deep look at Wen Liang, and asked directly without being tactful: "What is the name of the company that Wen Liang founded?"

"Bo Lang." Wen Liang replied.

Hearing this, Wang Yingjun frowned incredulously: "The blogger who recently attracted attention from Sina Weibo?"

"Yes." Wen Liang said calmly, "The pressure is a bit high."

Wang Yingjun turned his gaze, and suddenly said: "I heard Professor Chang mention you by chance. You have excellent academic ability, and you also majored in mathematics. How could you want to start a business?"

Wen Liang replied without hesitation: "I want to challenge my limits. Mathematics distinguishes geniuses from mortals. Unfortunately, I am a mortal and have no special talent in this area."

Wang Yingjun picked up his teacup and took a sip of water.

She was very surprised by Wen Liang's frankness and honesty in his shrewdness, and also surprised by Wen Liang's insight in dealing with people.

Wen Liang gave her a feeling of conflict.

In the end, Wang Yingjun chose to ask directly: "Does Wen not need any support from the school?"

Wen Liang nodded slightly, and replied affirmatively: "Yes."

Seeing the calm Wen Liang, Wang Yingjun quickly figured out some of Wen Liang's thoughts.

Therefore, Wang Yingjun agreed: "It is not uncommon for students to give back to the school. You have a heart. On behalf of the school's Education Development Foundation, I accept your free donation."

Hearing this, Wen Liang made a gesture: "Let's delay the principal for a few more minutes, and let's briefly report on the financial situation."

Whether it is a donation or whatever, the process cannot be avoided.

Everything is clear and clear.

Especially for shares, it is definitely not possible to donate responsibilities, what must be donated is dividends, income, etc.

Wang Wanyu took out a folder from her briefcase, took out a copy from it and handed it to Wang Yingjun, and then briefly reported: "Bolang's current assets are about 7000 million yuan, and its self-operated business revenue as of this month is more than 1690 million yuan. , platform business revenue of more than 1024 million.”

The platform business refers to the cooperative advertising business. The advertiser settles the fee directly with Xiaochengshu. After Bolang draws a commission, it will be settled with the brand partner, so it is also part of Bolang's revenue account.

Li Ze's "Hundred Flowers Blooming" plan has been expanded by Wen Liang, so now the self-operated advertising business revenue is more than the cooperative advertising business revenue.

This set of simple financial data surprised Wang Yingjun.

I couldn't help muttering in my heart: "No wonder it was targeted by Sina Weibo." '

Bolang's assets are of course very high-quality.

It is an Internet asset-light, with such a strong revenue-generating ability, the so-called high price offered by Qian Dejian is not taken seriously by Wen Liang at all.

In the end, Wen Liang rejected Wang Yingjun's proposal to hold a small-scale donation ceremony.

A professor from the law school checked it, and the two parties signed a relevant donation agreement.

The donation of 1000 million Bolang shares was settled.

…………

Wen Liang and Wang Wanyu walked into 716 with the lunch prepared for Li Rang and others. Li Rang was babbling and speaking Cantonese to Zhao Mingjie.

Wen Liang greeted Li Rang, didn't stay long, and went upstairs.

This morning, the Internet is not idle at all.

In addition to the major revision of the Xiaochengshu App, which has rich functions and features and is completely open to this package of things, Li Ze's "Sina and Bolang" phone call recordings have also become popular.

In addition, 'Xixi Senior Sister' started to publish original content as a model worker yesterday, and consciously or unintentionally led brand partners to be curious about her, and it was also a little popular on the Xiaochengshu platform.

To set up a brand, it is natural to give some resources.

As soon as he entered the multimedia room, Wen Liang saw Li Ze and Tang Pu clattering on the keyboard at a glance.

Li Ze took the time to look back at Wen Liang: "It's done?"

Wen Liang pulled out his chair and sat down: "The donation has landed."

Hearing this, Li Ze turned to the display wall again, and said, "You can breathe a sigh of relief, but relying on the mountains to fall and relying on everyone to run, in the end we still have to rely on our own abilities!"

This is the realization of the founding team of Bolang.

It is also the result of Wen Liang's guiding model in the past few months.

Wen Liang smiled happily, and changed the topic: "You guys are very lively here."

"The direction of the wind is more interesting." Tang Pu continued, "More specifically, today, Xiaochengshu may increase its users by one million in a single day."

Hearing Li Ze sigh from the side: "Speaking of which, the rapid development of Xiaochengshu is all due to the exposure brought by peer competition."

Speaking of this, Li Ze looked back at Wen Liang again: "I remember you seem to have said that this is called a liquidity premium."

"Yes, a form of liquidity premium." Wen Liang nodded lightly, "I always welcome external competition, but it's a pity that the domestic Internet industry still likes to use disorderly and vicious competition to grab benefits."

Hearing Wen Liang's lamenting tone, Li Ze also sighed: "There is no way, the cost of vicious competition is low, and they can make a lot of money just doing Weibo."

Wen Liang didn't say any more.

Going to the display wall, I flipped through the hot topics on the Internet, mainly focusing on the Xiaochengshu platform.

Although I dare not say that the internal user ecological construction is in place until now, the scale is also decent.

"I kind of understand why gossip is flying all over the sky now, even the news that Weibo wants to forcibly acquire Bolang will be exposed, tsk tsk!"

"It's no wonder that Weibo officials didn't respond to any subsidy, this and that, and dare to use their power to bully others!"

"Judging from the content of the call, it is obvious that these Internet giants in our country have the same mind. As long as they develop, they will suppress newcomers, just like ancient clans."

"It's hard to evaluate the authenticity, but this operation really made me feel that these rich and powerful companies really do whatever they want. It seems that the copycat is not a goose factory patent."

"It's true that Bo Lang is suffering from internal and external troubles!"

"Bolang's boss may have told the truth. If Weibo has a strong ability to monetize traffic, there is no need to launch any plans. I guess there will be a good show in the future!"

"I don't care about these, I just think that Xiaochengshu is getting better and better, and I heard that there is a special cooperation with the brand partner, the commission is low and there are many resources, 'Sister Xixi' is suspected to be a special contract!"

"..."

Wen Liang also saw some user discussions that were obviously coming from a forced situation.

For example, the evening wind is like a cloud.

"I have always been firm that there are experts behind Xiaochengshu. It is very interesting to take a break today and sort things out.

The gossip indicated that Weibo would give some people who forwarded their commercial promotion in Xiaochengshu to Weibo. Someone anonymously confirmed the news, but the Weibo official did not respond, and it was rumored that a third party was responsible;
Xiaochengshu also responded. They sent a message to all brand partners, reminding them to pay attention to legal risks and other matters. This is likely to have a follow-up, such as Weibo explosion;
I won’t talk about other matters such as the revision of the Xiaochengshu App.

(to be continued...)"
