The New Year's resolution for 2004 was, naturally, a joke.

However, it is a joke, but 2004 was a crucial year for Huanyu Technology.

This year, Huanyu Technology generated several core businesses.

There's instant messaging, there's portals, there's search, and likewise there's cell phones.

Although the overall business scope has expanded a lot, there is a shadow of a giant.

But to be honest, Chen Yu, who is accustomed to seeing a series of giants suddenly collapse in his previous life, has always been walking on thin ice.

For the time being, Huanyu Technology just looks okay on the outside.

But to say that it is truly invincible is far from being reached.

Whether it is instant messaging, search engines, portals, or mobile phone business, Huanyu Technology has strong competitors. Not to mention the gaming business, Blizzard is eyeing it from the side.

After the New Year's Lantern Festival, major domestic companies are basically on the right track.

A group of employees of Huanyu Technology have also rushed back from all over the country.

Chen Yu convened a group of senior executives of the company and held a New Year's meeting.

It was not the same as the meeting at the end of 2003.

The year-end meeting in 2003 was more of a year-end wrap-up.

2004 is a vision for the year and beyond.

"Everyone's here, sit down. ”

Enter the meeting room.

Chen Yu looked at each of the senior leaders.

Every time his eyes met, Chen Yu nodded in greeting.

Chen Yu continued: "We did well last year, although there were some businesses that did not meet our ideals, but overall it was generally good. This year is the most critical year for our Huanyu Technology, and whether we can take a step forward depends on our operation this year. So, I'd love to hear what you have to think this year. ”

After speaking, Chen Yu looked at Xie Zhang: "Let's start with the first company established by our Huanyu Technology, Xie Zhang, you are the first." ”

It turned out that Xie Zhang was in charge of the planning department before, and he planned for various companies.

However, as the subsidiaries become larger and larger, and the industry becomes more and more subdivided, a separate planning department cannot bring development to the company. Later, Chen Yu reorganized the entire company, treating each department as a subsidiary. The head of each department is equivalent to the CEO of the subsidiary.

Xie Zhang was also adjusted from the original head of the planning department to the head of the 5173 network.

As for Zhang Jianming, who was originally in charge of 5173, he was directly promoted to vice president.

"Mr. Chen, I'm the first to speak, I'm a little nervous. ”

Xie Zhang stood up and said with some pressure.

"Why are you nervous?"

Chen Yu asked with a smile.

"Of course I'm nervous. ”

"You see, here I have the lowest education, and the whole website makes the least money, and I am a little embarrassed when I speak first. ”

"Whoever says he makes a lot of money has to be the first to speak. Besides, the 5173 network you are responsible for may not be profitable. ”

Chen Yu knew that Xie Zhang's kid had a flexible brain.

When I was planning before, I was full of crooked ideas.

At the beginning, 5173 was able to do it, and Xie Zhang made a lot of contributions.

However, although Xie Zhang is in charge of the planning department, he is only planning and does not have much power over the company's decision-making.

Now handing over all 5173 to Xie Zhang alone gives him a chance.

Last year, Chen Yu heard that this guy wanted to show his strength in the New Year.

Taking advantage of this meeting, Chen Yu also wanted to hear what Xie Zhang had to do this year.

"Since Mr. Chen said so, then I will say it directly. ”

Xie Zhang cleared his throat, and then said: "We have a lot of plans for 5173 this year, the first one, we will adjust the advertising price with our partners. ”

"How much?"

"That's a 30% increase over the original. ”

"Mr. Xie, this is too much. ”

The first to respond was Zou Tao.

As the game department of Huanyu Technology, although the 5173 network and the game department are all of Huanyu Technology.

But the brothers are settling accounts.

With the increase of the company's business, the game department of Huanyu Technology also has to pay advertising fees to 5173.

Zou Tao manages a lot of games, and this time the adjustment of advertising costs has increased a lot of expenses.

"Mr. Zou, what is this much, compared to the money you earn, we are small. ”

Xie Zhang didn't think there was anything wrong with this adjustment.

Although online games are not as good as in previous years, they are also the most profitable Internet projects.

Moreover, the number of domestic online game users is still growing at a rate of more than 40% per year.

It's so normal to adjust your advertising costs.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think?"

After Xie Zhang finished speaking, he looked at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu also nodded: "It's normal to adjust the advertising fee, I think it's okay." ”

"Mr. Zou, look. ”

"Mr. Xie, I kind of understand, you are blackmailing us with Mr. Chen's order. ”

Chen Yu said this, and Zou Tao naturally had nothing to say.

Of course, Zou Tao is just talking.

Although he has some opinions, he also understands this truth.

As a game portal, 5173 has too many resources in its hands, and it is normal to increase advertising costs.

It's not long, it's not normal.

If 5173 is not owned by Huanyu Technology, if he wants to increase advertising costs, you can only keep up.

"However, Xie Zhang, you still can't make much money by raising advertising fees like this. ”

In fact, 5173 is already very profitable.

Compared with some other websites, 5173's money-making efforts have made some portals red-eyed.

It's just that Huanyu Technology has too many money-making projects, and 5173 is inconspicuous.

In particular, the e-commerce sector was separated from 5173 to establish Huanyu Mall, and the status of 5173 in Huanyu Technology has declined even more.

"Mr. Chen, I have a second plan. ”

It seems that Chen Yu has long known that he will ask this, Xie Zhang said: "As a game portal, our previous task was to advertise to major game companies. Of course, the most important thing is to promote our own game. Although we will also be the first to promote our game, I thought about it and I think we at 5173 can also make our own games. ”

"Make your own game?"

The idea was beyond everyone's expectations.

Huanyu Technology already has a game department, and 5173 even wants to play games.

Isn't this reusing resources?

However, it was only for a while, and everyone admired it in their hearts.

Huanyu Technology has a tradition of horse racing, and whoever does well will be on it.

Although 5173 is just a game portal, why can't they make games?

If 5173 can also launch a good game, this will not only increase the profit of 5173, but also compete with the game department of Huanyu Technology.

This also has a significant effect in enhancing the company's core competitiveness.

Therefore, as soon as Xie Zhang just said that he wanted to make a game, Chen Yu nodded: "I agree." ”

"Xie Zhang, do it well, and Pk with Zou Tao. ”

5173 is not a duplicate of resources to make games, but it is a waste of resources not to do it.

With 5173 as the status of the first game portal in China, he can take the opportunity to enter the game field.

If 5173 enters the game and is really made by Xie Zhang, then Huanyu Technology has another ammunition package for transporting resources in the rear.

If there is a lot of money, if there is no way to deal with others in the future, then they will be stoned to death if they spend money.
