Chapter 234: Settled

(Bow and thank you for the monthly pass support of "Fengshen Yu Shao"!)

In the old mansion of Quan'an Island, the elders of the Tang family were walking in a hurry, these people were all leaders in various fields, but now these people were gathered for a very important matter. In the end, all these people gathered in the main hall of the Tang family's old mansion, and now Tang Jingsheng, the head of the Tang family's ancestral hall with the highest prestige, was sitting on the upper seat waiting for them, and beside him was Tang Huiyin, whose status was second only to him.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tang Jingsheng nodded to Tang Huiyin, and the latter said to everyone: "I believe that you all know the purpose of summoning you here today, that is, about the reorganization of Jieke Company and the establishment of Sou Company." ”

Everyone nodded their heads to indicate that they knew, and no one was surprised, after all, this matter was explosive news, and even made the news in the United States, and some media broke the previous practice of publishing the next day in order to pursue exclusive and first sources, and forcibly published a new issue of the newspaper at noon yesterday, or inserted the news, invited comments, etc., which is really too exaggerated.

The new company received an investment of $1.7 billion at its inception, and at the inauguration ceremony, it was presumptuously announced that the shares of this huge investment had no voting rights.

Such explosive news, unless it is news such as the NBA Finals or the presidential election, no one can cover it, and Quan An is not closed to the news, so they all knew the news for the first time.

"So what do you think about this news?" Tang Huiyin asked again.

Faced with this problem, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and finally unanimously remained silent, after all, this matter was too important, and they really didn't know what to say.

After looking around, Tang Jingsheng still decided to say by himself: "It seems that you are all tired, so even in the face of such a piece of news, you have lost your judgment, but it is no wonder, there are indeed too many things recently, and I can completely feel the tense atmosphere enveloping Quan'an Island, which has never been seen before." ”

For Tang Jingsheng's words, everyone nodded in agreement, you must know that Quan'an, as the holy place for the elderly after all the leaders of the Tang family retired, when they handed over their property, they have always been very leisurely, how can there be such frequent meetings and meetings, even if it is to inherit the great cause, at least not before that.

It's just that all this changed after the guy named Zhou Ming went to the island to help Tang Ran fight for the inheritance, he got something done in three days and two days, they had to get together for a meeting to discuss, and finally even got to the point of depriving another heir of the inheritance, how could they not be nervous?

However, this also shows Zhou Ming's strong ability from another side, even if his tens of millions of investments prove that he has another identity behind him, he is also very rich.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, it is natural for a rich second generation to work hard to inherit the inheritance of his father and continue to become a rich man, even if he makes more money, but in fact, it is not, on the contrary, the more money, the more difficult it is to continue to invest the money in his hand to increase him.

It's like that joke, Wang Sicong's father gave him 500 million, and he earned back 2 billion, which was quadrupled, and a random person took the five yuan given by his father to buy a pair of gloves to go to the construction site to move bricks, and earned 100 a day, which increased 20 times.

Think about it, can these two concepts be the same? If so, how come none of those lottery players who won the lottery jackpot became successful entrepreneurs or investors, but ended up bankrupt? This is the most direct explanation of the key to financial investment.

Now sitting here are all important figures of the Tang family, the kings of the investment field, of course they are very aware of the difference, so all of Zhou Ming's practices are very remarkable in their opinion. Even during this time, they all thought about it from their own perspective, if they changed themselves to Zhou Ming's position, they would not be able to make that kind of decision nine times out of ten, but Zhou Ming not only made a decision, but also did it very well.

"From participating in the Futai Science and Technology Exhibition, using the cooperation with AP Company to win a $5 million order, to later investing in Toy Story, using the Internet for ultra-low-cost marketing, and now setting up a search company, this one thing after another is all amazing. Tang Jingsheng counted them one by one, "And now at the establishment ceremony of Sosou Company, he asked Tang Yi, Tang Wan'er and Tang Lin to invest in him, which also saved him a lot of advertising costs." ”

Tang Jingsheng was talking, and everyone else was nodding their heads, after all, now all major media are vying to report this magical thing, it can be said that his name resounded all over the United States on the first day of the establishment of this search company, maybe many people don't know what he does, but as long as they remember the word search, this advertising effect will be achieved.

Under such thoughts, they all sighed: "This Zhou Ming is really a business genius, and there seems to be a steady stream of genius ideas in his head!"

If Zhou Ming was present, he would definitely be embarrassed, because his ideas were basically take-it-or-leave-it, relying on his reborn memories to copy the very successful marketing strategies of other companies.

"One more thing, I don't know if you've noticed. Tang Huiyin interjected at this time, "At the establishment ceremony of the search company, it was Tang Yiwan'er and Tang Lin who invested in him, which may also represent other meanings." ”

"Of course I've noticed that, and that's the most direct reason I'm asking you to come here today. Tang Jingsheng said to everyone, "As heirs, I think it is impossible for the three of Tang Yi Tang Wan'er and Tang Lin not to know the significance of their move, they have given up fighting for inheritance, and Tang Ran, with the help of Zhou Ming, has also proved that she is strong enough." ”

Speaking of this, Tang Jingsheng paused for a moment before finally saying: "So I think this battle for inheritance can come to an end, what do you see?"

Faced with this question, everyone nodded in unison, although they hoped that the heir who had a better relationship with them could ascend to the throne, but they were still convinced by Zhou Ming's ability.

The current situation is reasonable, Tang Jingsheng said: "Since everyone has no opinion, let's start voting." ”

With Tang Jingsheng's words, the voting began, and the final result was not unexpected, and it was unanimously approved to let Tang Ran inherit the position of the patriarch of the Tang family, and after the meeting ended, Tang Jingsheng personally called Tang Ran and told her the result.

……

At this moment, Zhou Ming and Tang Ran were in the Sunflower Restaurant in Paro City, and with them were Tang Lin, Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er, the three heirs of the Tang family, as well as Cheng Qian, the general manager.

Putting down the phone, Tang Ran said that the ancestral clan would have made a decision to recognize her inheritance of the family, Tang Lin Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er immediately congratulated her, and said that if they want to take out a loan and invest in the future, they will have to find Tang Ran, and she will be the queen of this super bank in the future.

However, Zhou Ming said: "Although the clan association has recognized her now, according to the rules of the Tang family, the control of the Tang Bank will not be handed over to her, that is to say, the ancestral hall will have to observe for a period of time, give Tang Ran a trial period for integration, and wait for reconfirmation, she can really control the Tang Bank, I think it will not be too late for you to congratulate you at that time." ”

Listening to Zhou Ming's words, they all laughed: "It's because we're too anxious, but it's just a passing scene, and with your strength, it's only a matter of time before you really inherit it." ”

"Let's talk about it sooner or later, we are discussing the problem of the search company today. Zhou Ming said, "Although the word search has spread to the greatest extent in the United States through the reports of various media, many people will at least have heard of this name even if they don't know what search does, and it can be said that our first phase of publicity work has been completed." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Ming changed the conversation and continued: "But we still can't take it lightly, after all, no matter how popular it is, it can't change the fact that we are clearing the wasteland, so our next task is more important." ”

"But Vice President Zhou, we went back and thought about it for a long time, and we never understood how we could make a profit if this kind of search engine didn't charge users for its services. Cheng Qian said.

In fact, it is not only these people, but also other BBS or retrieval sites on the Internet, they are also operating at a loss, and the reason is that they have not yet found a truly suitable profit model, so they can only take one step at a time, relying on venture capital to hang half-dead.

This made Zhou Ming sigh in his heart: it seems that the limitations of the times are always the most fatal, and the profit model of Du Niang, which is basically known to everyone in later generations, has become a peerless problem that business geniuses can't think of even after racking their brains.

So Zhou Ming raised two fingers and said: "Then let's determine the future profit model of Sosou today, I have thought about it for a few days, there can be two main types, the first is advertising, and the second is keywords." ”

Zhou Ming's words were like a morning bell and a dusk drum that made everyone suddenly realize, but they still couldn't figure it out, Cheng Qian still asked Zhou Ming: "I can understand advertising, that is, advertising on the page of the website, but how do keywords make money?"

With Cheng Qian's question, Tang Lin, Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er also pricked up their ears, waiting to hear the answer.

But Zhou Ming was not in a hurry to answer this question, he asked Cheng Qian: "You are the general operation manager of the search company, I believe you have also used the search engine, how do you feel?"

"It's really easy to use, no matter what I'm looking for, as long as I type in some search terms, it's easy to find it. Cheng Qian replied honestly, but he still had a blank expression on his face.

"So do you know how this search engine works?" Zhou Ming asked again.

Cheng Qian felt even more at a loss, but he still replied honestly: "Of course I know, he is the technology that he has collected and sorted out all the information on the Internet, and finally arranged and displayed." ”

"Then in what way or according to what requirements is this information arranged? Why are some of them ranked above, and some of them are ranked below?" Zhou Ming asked again.

"Of course, depending on the number of visits to the site......

Cheng Qian subconsciously wanted to answer, but he suddenly stopped halfway through his words, because he obviously thought of the key.

"Vice President Zhou, do you mean that we can make this ranking through merchant payment?" asked Cheng Qian uncertainly.

"That's right, we can make money through this way of PPC on keywords, which is simply that whoever pays more money can be ranked higher, and it is conceivable that this will be our main source of income for a long time to come. Zhou Ming added at the end, "Of course, in order to maintain our own profitability, we will not sell any keyword buyout." ”

Zhou Ming's words shocked everyone like a bombshell, and they all sighed what kind of genius could come up with such a way to make a profit. In an instant, they felt that the other Internet companies they had invested in, even large companies that had been listed, were weak in front of Zhou Ming, and their IQs were infinitely crushed by Zhou Ming.
