You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 480

When it comes to marketing hype, Cao Guowei, as a top student who returned from overseas, has seen all kinds of situations, and there are only a few tricks in total.

But he admitted that he was a little ignorant about what Qin Shaoyan was doing.

It's outrageous that this marketing scam is done from a distance of tens of thousands of miles away or the other party bumps into it on their own.

There is no trace at all.

And the other party is too cooperative. Why did you, Apple, go to Weibo to argue with Qin Shaoyan? Doesn't this bring traffic to them?
Cao Guowei even had some doubts as to whether this was a double act between Qin Shaoyan and Apple.

But this idea was too outrageous, and Cao Guowei felt that he must be crazy.

He could only sigh that Qin Shaoyan was very lucky and had a great sense of timing, not missing any opportunity to hype himself up.

Weibo now has an increasing number of registered users, which has reached 2006 million. In , the official statistics showed that the number of Internet users was only million, which means that one-third of Internet users have registered on Weibo.

The number of registered users far exceeds the number of blogs, which is a problem.

People go to high places and water flows to low places. What the Internet pursues is traffic, and it goes wherever there is more traffic.

The same goes for the bloggers on Sina Blog.

Although celebrities of this era are somewhat arrogant and confident, they think they can bring traffic themselves, no matter where they go.

But after a long time, they will not be able to help but move their position.

While Cao Guowei was thinking, Wang Wei, who was in charge of Sina's blog business, hurried in and said, "Boss Cao, something went wrong."

Cao Guowei was startled, but he quickly calmed down and lectured the other party unhappily, "Why are you panicking? Stay calm. What happened?"

"Some bloggers have registered accounts on Weibo," Wang Wei quickly reported, "among them are many movie stars."

There are not only film and television stars, but also many cultural celebrities.

Cao Guowei flew into a rage after hearing the name. "Just after he finished criticizing someone on Weibo, saying that he was vulgar, he immediately opened an account. Do you have any shame?"

But he just cursed a few times to vent his anger. There is no need for him to talk about integrity and shame with cultural celebrities.

It is completely normal for Ai Dajin to open an account on Weibo. He was previously involved in a war of words between Han Han and Bai Ye, and he closed his blog because he could not withstand the pressure from Han Han's fans.

Han Han finally said: "It's lonely at the top."

What this means is that Ai Da Jin can't beat Han Han.

Many years later, Ai Dajin himself said: "In the blogging era, none of us can beat Han Han."

Came out with a bang, lost spectacularly.

Although Sina Blog tried its best to retain him, he resumed blogging briefly, but he was much more low-key than before.

Now that Weibo has come out, he definitely doesn't want to stay on the blog any longer, so he took advantage of the trend of watching the verbal battle between Weibo and Apple and ran over to register an account.

Not to mention entertainment stars, starting a blog is purely a commercial act, and they will be the boss wherever there is traffic.

Sina can't stop it at all, and it's already very considerate of them to update on both sides.

After listening to the report, Cao Guowei knew that the situation was going to get worse. He went straight to the chairman, Wang Yan, to explain the situation. "If this continues, blogging will not be able to survive. It will be completely eliminated within two or three years."

Wang Yan also felt that something was not right, so he asked, "What do you think of Qin Shaoyan?"

"Very tricky, very powerful, very troublesome." Cao Guowei used three "very" to describe Qin Shaoyan. "He is not an ordinary opponent. There is something indescribably strange about him."

Weibo suddenly became popular. It was certainly because Qin Shaoyan had a keen sense of smell and seized the opportunity, but his team also did a great job and reacted too quickly, as if everything was prepared.

"Qin Shaoyan is indeed an extraordinary person." Wang Yan also thinks that Qin Shaoyan is a person who is unconventional and unpredictable. "He does have extraordinary talent and keen sense of smell in the Internet field, and his grasp of trends is also quite accurate."

"From campus network to Qvod, he has never failed, so Weibo must be a new model of social platform in the future."

Cao Guowei also agreed, "We can't wait any longer. We should catch up immediately and create our own Weibo account."

Wang Yan hesitated for two seconds and asked, "Gather the backbone forces, set up a technical team, come up with the product as soon as possible, and select capable people to be in charge."

"I'll take personal responsibility," Cao Guowei said immediately, "but we still have to be quick."

Wang Yan thought for a moment, "After Weibo goes online, you have to come up with a complete response strategy. Qin Shaoyan will not sit idly by and let the competitor grow stronger on its own."

"He is very good at marketing. We must be prepared for long-term competition."

Speaking of Cao Guowei, I feel a little unsure. Qin Shaoyan never plays by the rules, and it seems like he is trying to defeat a master with random punches.

"Let's find a professional consulting company first to make a few business marketing plans." Cao Guowei suggested, "Professional teams are definitely better than unconventional ones. We don't have to follow Qin Shaoyan's pace."

"Very good, it's better to be prepared." Wang Yan nodded, "There is still a month before the Chinese New Year, so let's prepare first and start work after the Chinese New Year."

……

"The closer we get to the Chinese New Year, the more we can't relax!" Qin Shaoyan encouraged the Weibo team, "We have already won the cooperation for this year's Spring Festival Gala. We expect that the traffic on the day of the Spring Festival Gala will be quite large, which will be stressful for the technical team."

"As long as we can hold on, our Weibo will have a foothold."

"We will get six times the overtime pay during the Spring Festival this year!" Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "I want to bring my parents to Beijing to celebrate the New Year. The company will reimburse the travel expenses. When the time comes, you can work steadily at the company. I will take care of the New Year's Eve dinner and we will celebrate the New Year together."

"After the Chinese New Year, you will have a week of paid leave. You can go out and have some fun and relax."

The Weibo team immediately burst into cheers, and everyone was full of energy.

They are not fighting for six times the salary, but for their ideals and careers, for their passion and enthusiasm, as well as for the boss's thoughtful logistical support.

Qin Shaoyan called Weibo CTO Li Xiaoxiao to his side and asked kindly, "How long have you been in the company?"

"Hey, I came here in 2004, so it's been two and a half years." Li Xiaoxiao spoke in Beijing dialect, "Our company is great, I don't want to leave."

"Have you bought a house?" Qin Shaoyan continued to ask.

"I'm a local." Li Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what Qin Shaoyan meant.

"Our company has benefits. After the new year, the administration department will take you to choose a house, and the down payment will be provided by the company." Qin Shaoyan patted Li Xiaoxiao's shoulder, "This way it will be convenient for commuting to and from get off work."

Li Xiaoxiao was ecstatic and gave a thumbs up, "Boss Qin, you are so generous!"

"Work hard." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "You will be a billionaire in the future."

Li Xiaoxiao was deeply moved by these words, and she patted her chest and assured President Qin that she would sell the 180 kilograms to the company and would work hard for it until her death.

After painting the pie for Li Xiaoxiao, Qin Shaoyan turned around and looked for Zhang Pingyi again, "Have all the old brothers who worked hard with us bought houses?"

"They should all have bought houses." Zhang Pingyi thought for a moment, "You are so generous, they should all have the financial strength to buy houses." "We still need to count them, especially the old brothers who have been with us for more than two years." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "Let them buy houses first while the housing prices are low, so that they can feel at ease."

"Especially for the key members, besides caring about their work, we should also pay more attention to their lives."

"For those who are in financial difficulties, the company should also provide timely assistance."

"Why don't we just buy a piece of land and build a few buildings ourselves."

"Buy land?!" Zhang Pingyi took a breath of cold air, "How much will it cost? The company has so much money... Oh, the company did make a lot of money last year. Will the board of directors agree?"

"Let's build the office building and dormitory building first. This is crucial to the development of the company." Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "Our company has several departments and hundreds of people. We will expand to thousands of people in the future. How can we do without an office? This will seriously affect the company's combat effectiveness."

"The company's fighting power affects the stock price and money. What reason do shareholders have to object?"

"That's right." Zhang Pingyi thought there was nothing wrong with this. "We can't always live on renting a house. You are still the richest man."

"Don't mention who is the richest or not." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "Those are just empty titles. What I have is just a fancy title on paper. I am far inferior to those who got rich first."

Zhang Pingyi reminded him: "Don't talk nonsense, or people will say you are sarcastic."

"I have a red heart." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "You won't go back to your hometown for the New Year this year, right?"

"Well, I have already brought my parents to Beijing and plan to spend the New Year here."

"That's good." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "So that I won't be able to find you when something goes wrong."

"It's not my fault that there is no signal in the village." Zhang Pingyi was also helpless, "I haven't been back to my hometown for two years."

"I haven't been back for three years." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "Let's have the New Year's Eve dinner together this year. I'll organize an event and invite the family members of the overtime employees together. It will be lively, and I'll also hold a lottery or something."

"That's fine." Zhang Pingyi agreed, and then asked, "So you won't celebrate the New Year with Mingyue this year?"

"Her grandmother is also in Beijing. Our two families will celebrate the New Year together, and it can be considered as meeting the parents." Qin Shaoyan was a little embarrassed for once. "I haven't made any preparations, and I'm getting married at such a young age."

"You are already 29." Zhang Pingyi reminded, "It's time to talk about marriage."

"I'm 27." Qin Shaoyan corrected expressionlessly, "You're only 29."

"Yes, I have to get married this year, otherwise my parents will keep urging me." Zhang Pingyi also sighed, "It's been so many years, and it seems like it was not long ago when we first met."

“It is indeed missed.”

"At that time, you were still a liar, and I was still an ignorant student." Zhang Pingyi was a little sad, "I got on the pirate ship without knowing what was going on."

"How am I a liar?" Qin Shaoyan said anxiously, "I'm warning you, even though we are familiar with each other, if you slander me, I will still sue you."

"Look, you're anxious again, Chief Qin." Zhang Pingyi teased.

"Call me by my job title when I'm working!" Qin Shaoyan said with a stern face, "Call me President Qin!"

……

As the Spring Festival approaches, the administrative and logistics departments of Sentinel Technologies become increasingly busy.

In preparation for the company's annual meeting, gifts for employees need to be screened and purchased.

In addition, they also have to help the families of employees on duty buy tickets, arrange the venue for the New Year’s Eve dinner, and prepare various ingredients and snacks needed for the New Year. These trivial matters make them busy and dizzy.

I thought I could relax a bit as the holidays were approaching, but it turned out to be even busier, so naturally there were some complaints from the administrative and logistics departments.

However, they did not dare to speak too loudly, because they had keenly discovered that President Qin seemed to dislike them.

Previously, they were assigned to work in Dingfu Village. The commute alone almost made them collapse, and several sisters couldn't stand it and resigned.

The rest of me was that I couldn't bear to give up the company's benefits, so I gritted my teeth and persevered.

There is no such thing as preferential treatment in the workplace at that time. If you want to get benefits, you have to really work hard, otherwise you will be fired.

These days, it's hard to find a company as generous as Sentinel Technology in paying money. After all, President Qin really gives houses to his employees.

Even if you can't get a free house, you still have a chance to get a house with no down payment.

February 2th is the Little New Year. Mingyue, wrapped in a thick down jacket, stood at the exit of the train station, standing on tiptoe watching the crowds pouring out.

After a while, she saw two strange yet familiar figures and waved her arms quickly, "Uncle and aunt, here, here."

Qin Shaoyan's father and mother squeezed out of the crowd and ran over carrying large and small bags.

As soon as she got closer, my mother Xun Xiaohui said, "Why are you waiting here alone in such a cold weather?"

Mingyue smiled and took the luggage from her mother's hand. "It's not just me. The secretary and the driver are here too."

Qin Shaoyan's secretary Xiao Chen and driver Hao Dashan also hurried forward to take the luggage and greet Qin's parents.

Xun Xiaohui was a little dissatisfied and said to Qin Donghai: "Being the richest man is different. Look at your son, he is so arrogant. His own parents didn't even come to pick him up when he arrived."

"He's been very busy lately and can't leave." Mingyue said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if I come."

"Same as before." Xun Xiaohui said with a smile, "I am happier to see you than to see him."

Seeing his daughter-in-law, he was naturally overjoyed and stopped blaming his son.

Mingyue took Qin Shaoyan's parents home and settled them down. Just as she was about to leave, Xun Xiaohui grabbed her and stuffed a big red envelope into her hand.

"Auntie..." Mingyue was stunned for a moment and quickly declined.

"Take it, take it." Xun Xiaohui stuffed it into Mingyue's pocket. "This is the rule. You can't give it up."

Mingyue accepted it and said, "Uncle and aunt, I'm leaving first. I'll come back in the evening. Call me if you have anything."

"Okay, okay, go ahead and do your work. We can clean up by ourselves." Xun Xiaohui smiled and sent Mingyue out the door. She kept watching her go away with eyes full of love, "Oh, this girl is so nice."

"Our son has a good eye and chooses good people."

Qin Donghai nodded, "It's good to be able to live a stable life."

Xun Xiaohui clapped her hands, "We have to settle the marriage quickly. Your son is too busy to come home. We don't urge him and he doesn't tell us. He secretly falls in love and hides it, which makes us worry."

Qin Donghai sighed, "The child is so old now, he has his own ideas, and my words are useless. Now that he is the richest man, he is even more disobedient."

"The richest man is also my son!" Xun Xiaohui snorted coldly.
