Chapter 54: Be Your Own Platform

A few minutes later, Qi Min hung up the phone and came back to the conference room, his expression was a little serious, he looked at me, and then looked at everyone.

"Everyone has read the documents in hand, right? This meeting may be a bit long, and everyone will have to work hard tonight, but I have already arranged for someone to buy a working meal for everyone. Alright, let's start the meeting. ”

Qi Min controlled the PPT on the projector according to the remote control pen, while introducing the content in the PPT, he looked at us from time to time, while the rest of us looked at the paper version of the document in our hands for a while, and looked up at the projector for a while.

"After some time ago market research,We finally came to a conclusion and two decisions,The conclusion is:It is expected that in the next two years,The competition in the short video industry will develop at a super high speed,And it is combined with the interactive business model of social e-commerce,Based on this conclusion,We finally made the following two decisions:First,While the short video has not officially and completely entered the hot competition,We decided to develop a short video platform independently,I have thought of the name,It's called'Jiashi','Jia' is the best'Jia' means beautiful and the best, which is also in line with our cultural concept of 'utopia'. ”

Qi Min just finished talking about the first decision, and some people in the audience began to talk about it in a whisper, in fact, this idea was proposed to Qi Min a long time ago, but it was just an idea, I didn't expect Qi Min to implement the plan in advance now, and I was also worried about whether our current company's economic strength could withstand it.

Sure enough, one of them soon asked Qi Min a question: "Mr. Qi, our company is now cooperating with customers and short video platforms as a third party in the mode of operation on behalf of the company, and the income from this income is still very considerable in the long run, but if we develop a platform by ourselves, with the current development stage of our company, will it be too hasty? ”

"yes, is that going to work?" someone said right away.

Qi Min's expression was still rarely serious, and he said firmly: "Even if the cost is very large, we have to do it ourselves, otherwise when the industry competition becomes white-hot, it will be too late, this is my Cheng Zong's unanimous decision, everyone just needs to follow and implement." ”

I couldn't help but say "!", this guy actually brought me with me, I was completely unprepared, and immediately attracted the attention of others.

I responded to everyone's eyes with a smile and explained calmly: "Mr. Qi is right, in fact, I did propose to him a long time ago that we should develop our own short video platform, which is an inevitable trend in our company's business." "In the face of other people's doubts, I naturally chose to be on the same side as Qi Min.

Others were thinking about continuing to discuss it, Qi Min immediately said: "That's right, that's it, so you don't need to say more, as for economic things, we will find a way, what you have to do is to implement, just like a well-known entrepreneur said: I invite you not to make trouble for the enterprise, but to solve the trouble, otherwise you will be a trouble." ”

As soon as the last sentence was said, the audience suddenly fell silent, Qi Min looked around at the crowd, and then continued: "Okay, let's talk about the second decision: the social e-commerce just mentioned, that's right, we also want to do social e-commerce, make a small program in the early stage, and stabilize it in the later stage, and then consider whether to make an APP." ”

With the previous "lesson", when Qi Min talked about the second decision, the people in the audience did not object anymore. The meeting was suspended at seven o'clock in the evening, which was also to prevent everyone from going hungry, and also arranged a working meal for everyone, so to speak, Qi Min has made a very humane measure. Everyone eats first, and then finishes the next part of the meeting later, that is, the division of labor

During the break between meals, Qi Min and I were eating a boxed lunch in the same office. I put down the chopsticks in my hand, looked at Qi Min and asked, "Hey, you answered the phone before school started, and when you came back to the conference room, I rarely saw a serious expression, what's the situation?"

"Oh yes, I'm glad you talked about it, I almost forgot about it. He put the lunch box on the table, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, "Just now a reliable friend of mine called, he learned about the latest industry trends, it is about Wang Hao." Qi Min glanced at me, and I immediately cheered up.

"Wang Hao has become the actual controller of Xingchen International, that is, the largest shareholder, although it has not been announced on the surface, but the internal information has been confirmed, and I also learned from a friend that Wang Hao is going to carry out a major reform of Xingchen International next, adjust the business sector, although we don't know which direction he wants to adjust, but I personally think that there must be a conflict between our business sectors. ”

I was silent for a while, and smiled indifferently, "I didn't expect you to find someone to investigate him, it's hard work, these are because of the trouble I caused, but it hurt the company and you." I patted Qi Min on the shoulder.

"Don't say these useless words, if someone is against us, then we naturally can't endure it all the time, and it won't work if the king of heaven is here. He also patted my hand and signaled that I didn't have to take it to heart.

I nodded, "It's almost time, you go smoke a cigarette, I'll wait for you in the conference room later, you can continue to eat." With that, I walked out with my empty lunch box, threw it in the trash can outside, and then went to the smoking area in the other direction.

"Hey, have you found that our Qi is really good at being a person and doing things, just by working overtime tonight and ordering a working meal for us, I think it's pretty good, do you think, change to another company, those bosses can think of this?

"'There is no free lunch in the world', you haven't heard of this sentence, right? Two such important decisions were made at today's meeting, and everyone will be busy later, and there may be some 'big moves' in the second half of the meeting!"

"Well~ It also makes sense, it makes sense to invite you to dinner, otherwise why didn't you have this benefit when you worked overtime and held meetings in the past?"

I was standing in the doorway listening to the gossip of the two junior management men, and when they were finished, I walked out, deliberately looking at them and asking, "Is there a fire?"

The two of them turned to look at me at the same time, their faces suddenly became panicked, and one of them hesitated for a moment, and stammered: "Mr. Cheng, there is, there is fire." He took out a lighter and helped me light the cigarette.

I took a puff of cigarette and chuckled, "I hope you can put your mind on your work well, don't think about those who don't have it, whether there are any work arrangements for the next one, it is reasonable for Mr. Qi to order a working meal for you, if you say something similar, don't let me hear it again." Finally, I looked at the two men coldly.

"Yes, Mr. Cheng, I, we know it's wrong, then let's go first. The two fled the scene.

I looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, sighed, finished my cigarette, and went back to the conference room after the episode. The second half of the meeting is still Qi Min, the main thing is to arrange the next work of the two decisions in the first half, we want to add a new project department, including the development team, product group, operation group, promotion group and other three groups, all around the short video platform (Jiashi), and the later promotion and operation, as for the small program, we don't plan to spend time to do it ourselves, and directly find customers from third-party platforms to outsource, because time is much more important than money now.

This meeting lasted until more than eight o'clock in the evening, and seeing that it was not too late, Qi Min said to ask me to have a supper together, after all, we have been busy for more than two months, and we have not relaxed for a long time.

Okay, let's have a late-night snack.

In the supper stall, Qi Min picked up a wine glass and touched one with me, and we talked about some other topics without work. He handed me a cigarette, "Hey, how are you and Han Yue doing now?"

I smiled, and as Qi Min mentioned her, Han Yue's appearance couldn't help but appear in my mind, "It's okay, but now everyone is busy with their careers, especially on my side, so there is less time to meet, plus ......" I smiled bitterly, "Han Qingxiao stared closely." ”

Qi Min also smiled, rarely became literary and artistic, and reassured me: "The ending is always good, if it is not good, it means that it is not the end." So, don't be discouraged, work hard, and we'll be able to get through it soon. ”

I touched the wine bottle with him again, and there was a "clang", which was an echo of good expectations, "By the way, let's talk about the evening meeting, in fact, the management's worries still have a certain reason, and two projects are carried out at the same time, and a large department has been added, this is really not a small expense, can the cash on our company's current account withstand it?"

Qi Min became serious when I said this, he thought about it for a while, and said resolutely: "If you can't stand it, you have to top it, if you can't do it, I'll find a way to raise money, I think it's almost time to raise money, and when we make 'Jiashi', after we have the first wave of data, we will immediately go to investors, and it will be better to talk about financing with a better data." ”

I thought about it for a while, nodded in agreement with Qi Min's idea, "Indeed, if you want to become big in business, it is an inevitable choice to go to capital, and we are already riding a tiger now, and there is no retreat at all, so we can only continue to move forward." ”

"In fact, it is not difficult to raise funds, relying on a lot of resources from the Qi Group, but I just want to rely on my own strength to do a good job and make the utopia bigger, otherwise I will have to live under the umbrella of Qi Wanxiong for the rest of my life. ”

"I know, buddy can understand you, encourage each other!
