Rebirth 2002: Chic Life

Chapter 498 Microcast Q&A
The reason why microcasting is called "microcasting" is that it has a character limit and can only publish short information.There is a limit on the number of words, so the publisher must use a simple word "micro" to facilitate dissemination.

But Wu Dong is messing around more and more. Short videos and live broadcasts are already in the trial operation stage. Due to network speed problems, uploading and downloading are very slow and there are not many users. It consumes a lot of manpower and material resources and only invests without output.

Now, Wu Dong is going to start the first website in China that rates movies, Lemon.com, and the first question-and-answer website in China, Zhizhi.com...

As soon as the idea was proposed, it was opposed by a group of executives.

"Mr. Wu, Weibo has just entered a period of rapid development, and there are still many imitators and followers. I think we should stabilize our position first and then expand slowly." The chief operating officer of Weibo made suggestions from the strategic level. Ge Zhongyi.

"Mr. Wu, our technical reserves and personnel reserves are not enough. Why don't we wait a little longer and try to figure it out..." This is a suggestion from a tactical level. This is Lan Yuechun, the human resources director of Langlang Media.

"Being greedy for big things and seeking complete perfection is a taboo in company development. Under normal circumstances, a company should have its own core development strategy. At the beginning, you positioned Weibo as a connection channel between celebrity corporate agencies and netizens. Now you want to overthrow yourself?" Mu Mu Shengnan, Director of Langlang Media Film and Television Production Center.

Zhang Bin, general manager of Langlang Media: "Mr. Wu, you are kind to me. Naturally, I will go all out to advance what you mean, but... well, your vision and thinking far exceed ours, although I don't understand But I will go all out!"

Because of Wu Dong's insistence, the matter was reluctantly pushed forward.

This is the strategic concept of the big boss, and there is no way to explain it if they don't move. They are somewhat conflicted in their hearts when they are asked to go all out.Now Lemon.com, Zhizhi.com, Bullfighting Live, and Doutu short videos are all operated by Weibo’s internal technology department and operation department. Each project team has more than a dozen people and many of them hold multiple positions.

Wu Dong understood that those who were not optimistic were just words. He was afraid of making wedding dresses for others because he did not know his responsibilities and rights. Now that the Olympic Games are over and he has attended many celebration banquets, large and small, now He finally has time to properly handle the company's development plans.
-
October 2004, 10, Monday, 4:9 am, Langlang Media Headquarters, Jiangning District, Jinling.

Long Wenxuan and Yang Zhongwen walked into the conference room muttering, "This little girl Zhang Chun is getting more and more arrogant. When there was a meeting, she said that we two must attend. I even asked Xiao Zhang to come over and join in..."

Opening a door, the two were stunned.

Zhang Bin, Lan Yuechun, Fu Sijia, Ge Zhongyi, Shi Yan, Fan Qinglan, Wu Dingchen, Duan Tianyang, Huangfu Hongdian... all the senior executives from the headquarters gathered, even Li Guoqiang who went to Gongshan to watch the data center Mu Shengnan, who is in charge of the Yanjing Film and Television Production Center, came to the meeting with his generals.

Zhang Chun, who is usually nicknamed Nine Thousand Years Old by the company, did not appear at the meeting.

……

"Director Long, Manager Yang, long time no see!" Mu Shengnan was the first to greet them with a smile when he saw two technical geeks enter the conference room shyly.

Yang Zhongwen responded with a silly smile, and Long Wenxuan said warmly: "Hahaha, why are you here, Mr. Mu? Is there any big event today?"

Zhang Bin continued: "Mr. Wu is here, and today I want to talk about the company's development strategy. Your technical department's opinion is very important, hahaha."

Lan Yuechun, who always complains to the technical department in occasional meetings, is also smiling today, "The company's business volume is getting bigger and bigger. If there are people who need you, you two can tell me earlier, whether it's a specific candidate or a rough idea. I will help you do whatever you want..."

The two looked at each other and sat down next to Mu Shengnan. The two of them had extremely high IQs, but they just didn't want to think too much about "relationships" and "favors."

In the past, every time Lan Yuechun met, he would complain that their technical and R&D departments were overstaffed and constantly adding manpower; Zhang Bin also often complained that they only had input but no output, saying that as long as they could maintain basic operations, it would be enough in order to shorten a few tenths of a second. Spending millions on response time is too luxurious...

Long Wenxuan approached Mu Shengnan and said in a low voice, "Is the loot going to be divided up today? Everyone is so enthusiastic."

Mu Shengnan glanced at him, "What about dividing the spoils, a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory."

Long Wenxuan didn't take it seriously, and easily picked up the mineral water in front of him, "Oh, okay, hehehe, we'll follow you anyway."

……

Only Liang Zhong and Tong Xiaorong came with Wu Dong. Liang Zhong is now a full-time driver, and Tong Xiaorong has completely transformed into a work assistant.

As soon as the car arrived at the underground parking lot, Zhang Chun was already here to greet them.

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, and Mr. Mu are all waiting for you in the conference room. I will take you there."

Wu Dong smiled and said: "It's not that I don't know the way, I still need you to wait here." "The main thing is that I want to say a few words with you, a flying man in the world, to be happy. You said that at that time I didn't see that you were What about flying people?" Zhang Chun said mischievously, he couldn't see that the usual domineering appearance in Langlang Media was completely the attitude of the former intern.

"Don't say you didn't see it, I couldn't think of it myself." Wu Dong laughed.

For acquaintances, Wu Dong often likes to get along with them with the initial attitude, and many people have figured out this habit.

"Miss Xiaorong, Mr. Wu needs my cooperation in his schedule for the next few days."

Tong Xiaorong held Zhang Chun's arm and said, "Mr. Wu's ideas come and go. No arrangement is of any use. Today he is staying over at Dihao Garden."

Zhang Chun said quietly, "I'll make arrangements for the security. I heard Mr. Wu dare not live in a big house alone, O(∩_∩)O haha~"

"Ahem!" Liang Zhong who followed behind coughed twice.

Tong Xiaorong grinned, "I forgot to introduce, this is Brother Liang. He is the driver and bodyguard specially arranged by President Li for President Wu."

"Oh, hello, Brother Liang! My name is Zhang Chun. If you need anything, please speak to me."

Liang Zhong was not good at words and nodded slightly, then stopped talking.

Zhang Chun smiled slightly and continued to lead Wu Dong.

……

Langlang Media's own headquarters is still under construction and is expected to be ready for occupancy in 2005 at the earliest. This office building is rented, but the building management has built a special elevator for Langlang Media that can only lead to their two floors.

……

Zhang Chun accompanied Tong Xiaorong to the lounge. This was a meeting that only executives could attend, and they were not eligible to participate. Liang Zhong stood at the door of the meeting room, and he followed Wu Dong around 24 hours a day when he was away.

At 9:58, Wu Dong entered the conference room.

Punctuality is his habit of being a teacher for more than 20 years.

"Hello, Mr. Wu...Mr. Wu...Hello, Mr. Wu...Hi..."

Wu Dong sat in the main seat, "How is the progress of Mr. Li's data center?"

Li Er used a pseudonym, and Wu Dong couldn't greet him publicly, but he was the first to chat with him before the official start, which also showed his respect for him.

Li Guoqiang smiled and said: "Everything goes well. Two-thirds of the servers in Qian Province and one-third of the servers in Gongshan are already in operation."

Long Wenxuan added without a wink, "Without these server diversions, the website would be paralyzed when you run 100 meters. Fortunately, the Olympics are over now, and I don't have to worry about it every day."

Wu Dong chuckled, "The Super Voice finals should be fine, right?"

Long Wenxuan, "Of course there is no problem with the text, but I am afraid that too many users browse the video clips. It is not because our server is not good enough, and the router switch of the operator may jump, but that is not because the microbroadcast cannot be opened, but the whole network. Paralysis..."

Ge Zhongyi, a lean middle-aged man with Mediterranean hairstyle, was poached by Lan Yuechun from the former operations executive of China Mobile.

Ge Zhongyi tentatively said: "Mr. Wu, it's not that our side is not doing well enough in live broadcasting of bullfighting and shaking pictures, but now the network infrastructure can't keep up with your ideas. We are a pioneer if we are one step ahead, and we are monsters if we are two steps ahead! "

Wu Dong chuckled, "I understand, so we give priority to the development of Weibo Q&A."
