Chapter 307: Decency
Now that William Zhu has gone to Shanda, Lin Weidong has no choice but to lead the team by himself.
However, Lin Weidong is not from a professional class, and he can't do technology, he is more about providing a concept and framework.
After some careful consideration, Lin Weidong made a phone call to Wang Gaofei and said that he wanted to meet and talk to him about something.
Wang Gaofei joined Century Chinese in April 2002 and worked in the R&D center.
Although Wang Gaofei has not been in Century Chinese for a long time, he, like Wu Wenhui, is also a high-achieving student who graduated from Beijing University and has top-notch R&D technology.
Moreover, since Wu Wenhui left Century Chinese Network, the technical department of Century Chinese Network, under the control of Wang Gaofei, can be described as stable as Mount Tai.
Therefore, Lin Weidong wanted Wang Gaofei to resign from his job at Century Chinese and take the position of president of Century Blog.
After receiving Lin Weidong's call, Wang Gaofei immediately went to Lin Weidong's office.
After Wang Gaofei entered the room, he stood in front of Lin Weidong's table and said respectfully: "Lin Dong, are you looking for me?"
Lin Weidong lit a cigarette and asked with a smile: "Gao Fei, do you think that who else can do your current job besides you?"
After hearing Lin Weidong's words, Wang Gaofei was obviously stunned and looked at Lin Weidong in confusion.
Although Century Chinese Network is only a literary website, no comparison with large companies such as Ferry, NetEase, and Sohu, but Century Chinese Network, under the leadership of Lin Weidong, can firmly sit in the top spot of literary websites, and get 16 million US dollars of investment from SoftBank Company, up and down the company, no one is dissatisfied with Lin Weidong.
Moreover, what convinced Wang Gaofei the most was Lin Weidong's personality charm, he not only knew how to make good use of people, but also rewarded and punished clearly, especially in terms of money, he would never be stingy.
Therefore, when Lin Weidong raised this question, Wang Gaofei was a little disappointed in his heart, thinking that Lin Weidong was going to fire him.
Thinking of this, Wang Gaofei asked with a wry smile: "Lin Dong, are you planning to sweep me out of the house?"
Lin Weidong smiled and nodded: "Yes, I think you are a bit petty in doing this job, you deserve a better job." ”
Wang Gaofei sighed and asked rhetorically: "Lin Dong, I don't understand, why did I work hard for the company, but in exchange for such a result? Can you tell you what I did wrong?"
Lin Weidong denied with a smile: "You're right, you're doing a good job, and I'm very satisfied with your results." ”
Wang Gaofei couldn't figure it out even more, and then asked: "Then why do you want to fire me?" Lin Dong, I hope you can give me a reason. ”
Lin Weidong explained with a smile: "The reason is that I plan to open a new company and want you to be responsible for building and managing it. ”
After listening to Lin Weidong's words, Wang Gaofei felt like pie in the sky.
For a long time, Wang Gaofei has technology but no funds, he knows Lin Weidong's strength and character, if he can follow Lin Weidong to fight the country, he will definitely have meat to eat.
And. As long as Lin Weidong is willing to pay, Wang Gaofei is confident that he will do things well.
But when he heard Lin Weidong talk about the "Century Blog," Wang Gaofei thought for a while and asked: "Lin Dong, I have also come into contact with this thing of blogging, and it is not difficult to make it with my ability, I just doubt that how can a blog make a profit?" Is it the same as our Century Chinese Network to do paid reading?"
Lin Weidong smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry about whether the blog can make money, I only ask you one sentence, do it or not?"
Wang Gaofei thought for a while, and said categorically: "! As long as Lin Dong is willing to give me a chance, I will definitely give you a beautiful job!"
Lin Weidong nodded with satisfaction: "Just have your words." ”
After speaking, Lin Weidong took a sip of tea and began to have a long talk with Wang Gaofei.
Listening to Lin Weidong say a lot, Wang Gaofei was also very excited, but he was still a little worried: "Lin Dong, I can solve the technical problems, the key is the funding, as well as the promotion and operation ......"
Lin Weidong said with a straight face: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and you don't need to worry about other things for the time being, I will arrange it." ”
Wang Gaofei listened, nodded, and didn't say anything more.
Although Wang Gaofei has not had much contact with Lin Weidong, he is convinced of Lin Weidong's ability.
Next, the two talked for more than two hours, touching all the work that needed to be prepared.
Lin Weidong entrusted the construction of the new company to Wang Gaofei.
After all, he is a top student of Beijing University, and he also has several years of work experience, Lin Weidong said that some conceptual things fool people and make do, if you really want to talk about the level of practice, he knows that he can't catch up with Wang Gaofei.
In the days that followed, the two met three times in a row.
In the first stage, Lin Weidong will invest a total of 10 million yuan to help Wang Gaofei realize the formation of a new company and technical exploration.
Of course, this money is entered in batches, and the quality and speed of the progress of the research and development of the previous project determine Lin Weidong's confidence in investment.
In the company Century Chinese Network, Lin Weidong accounts for 90% of the shares, Wang Gaofei accounts for 10% of the shares, and if there is a technical backbone worthy of using equity to win over or external financing in the future, Lin Weidong will make another distribution.
Wang Gaofei has no objection to Lin Weidong's approach, and is even grateful, because apart from Lin Weidong, there is no second boss who can be so open-minded.
And Wang Gaofei's movements were faster than Lin Weidong expected.
After getting the first fund, Wang Gaofei rented an office building in a short period of time and pulled out a team of more than 30 people.
When Lin Weidong went to the 16th floor rented by Wang Gaofei, half of the more than 400 square meters of space was under construction, and half was actually worked.
Seeing Wang Gaofei standing at the door of the glass partition waving to him, Lin Weidong was secretly glad that he had made the right decision.
Seeing Wang Gaofei's efficiency, Lin Weidong felt very gratified, because his execution was really frighteningly high.
On February 20, just a few days after the Spring Festival. Century Blog Company was officially founded.
February 22, morning.
Lin Weidong held the first internal meeting at Century Blog Company.
In this meeting, Lin Weidong mainly spoke on the promotion and operation of the Century Blog.
"First of all, the first step is the celebrity effect, this is certain, no matter what the product, celebrities are needed to advertise, it is definitely not as simple as a response, we must strive to bring celebrities from all walks of life to our century blog. ”
"The second is cooperation with traditional media, such as newspapers, magazines, ......"
Because it was the first meeting of Century Blog Company, everyone's work attitude was very positive, and Lin Weidong also said a lot of his own thoughts.
Of course, everything is difficult at the beginning, Lin Weidong's ideas and plans are very good, but there are difficult problems in practice.
If you just invite one or two celebrities to advertise, Lin Weidong will definitely be able to afford it, but it is a bit unrealistic to spend money to invite dozens or hundreds of celebrities in industries to advertise.
After some careful consideration, Lin Weidong finally decided to start a breakthrough from the entertainment industry first, and then move to other industries.
After having this idea, Lin Weidong immediately dialed Gao Yuanyuan's phone.
On the phone, Lin Weidong told Gao Yuanyuan his thoughts, in fact, what he said was very simple, that is, he hoped that Gao Yuanyuan would open a blog in the Century Blog and publish blog posts that recorded his life and feelings.
Gao Yuanyuan was very happy, because this was the first time Lin Weidong talked to her about his career.
As Lin Weidong's woman, Gao Yuanyuan never thought of refusing.
Gao Yuanyuan on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Okay, of course you can, but I don't know how to open it, can you teach me?"
"It's very simple, you just open the web page, log in to the Century Blog, and ......"
After getting Gao Yuanyuan, Lin Weidong turned his target to Sun Nan again.
When Sun Nan heard that Century Blog was an Internet company founded by Lin Weidong, he immediately pulled a group of celebrity friends from the star football team, opened Century Blog, and published some life thoughts on the blog.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Weidong dialed Huang Fei's phone again.
However, compared with Sun Nan and Gao Yuanyuan, Lin Weidong believes that Huang Fei will probably not look at his own face and open his own blog on the Century Blog website.
Because Huang Fei in this year is a "cherishing words like gold" and is not a diva who likes to speak very much.
