Chapter 031: Distant Worries and Near-term Worries
The strange web of this time and space was far from developing as smoothly as Li Mo had in his memories in his previous life.
In the previous life, the strange network, at the beginning, found that because the interest and ability of the Chinese people in death were far less vigorous than those foreigners, it was not feasible to take the self-made short video route of the artichoke network on the land of the Celestial Empire, and because the layout time was too late, it was impossible to purchase a large number of film and television copyrights in a short period of time, and took the route of winning by quantity of the oil depot network, so he chose a unique way to seize the opportunity in the layout of the whole industry chain such as copyright procurement, online self-production, and film production, and opened the video variety show battle. Reshape the quality of online dramas and create an Internet content ecosystem with distinctive characteristics. To put it simply, the bizarre network in the previous life took a route where you have nothing and you have me, which directly led to the fact that for a period of time, "chasing new dramas and being bizarre" has become the consensus of drama followers.
It wasn't until Penguin Video came from behind with an incomparable user traffic advantage that Qiwei.com began to gradually gain the upper hand in the triwizard competition.
And this singular network of time and space, not only did not choose to establish a differentiated brand image in the hearts of users, but because it received the financial support of large consortia earlier than another time and space, it embarked on a road of burning money of "you have me, see who has more money", so it ranked third in last year's Internet video click list.
People outside the industry can see that the strange network is full of flowers, cooking oil, and it can be among the top three in the industry in less than a year, but in the eyes of industry insiders, this mode of burning money and smashing people is simply to drink water to quench thirst, when there is a slight shortage of funds, not to mention the top three, thirteen, twenty-three is estimated to have nothing to do with them.
This is also the reason why the oil depot network is now only staring at the artichoke network, but it has not looked at the strange network at all.
The acquisition of artichoke network can also make up for the shortcomings of the oil depot network in the field of personal self-made short videos, the acquisition of strange network so that it has its own, and everything is not as good as its own copycat version, what's the use?
————————————————————————————————
Gong Yu has been worrying a lot lately, since he left Infinite Xunqi to start Qiwei.com, he has been worrying about how to establish the brand of his website, how to make differentiation, and how to improve the user experience......
When you don't get the investment, you worry about how to get the investment, and after you get the investment, you worry about how to maximize the efficiency of the investor's money......
Video websites are burning money in the early stage, this is a consensus in the industry, but how to burn is to use money on the blade, how to burn is efficient, but not many people in the industry can say clearly.
Gong Yu did not approve of using the method of "smashing money in case of indecision" to solve the problem at the beginning, but the investor parachuted an executive to be responsible for the operation and development of the website was one of the prerequisites for getting the investment, and several other shareholders agreed with it, so Gong Yu couldn't do anything.
But Gong Yu knows that if a layman is allowed to dictate the website, the final result is likely to be that the investment is spent and the website is finished, so the final result of the compromise between the two sides is now: the executive and his team have left collectively because they failed to achieve enough convincing results within the deadline;
This is also the reason why he is not at home to enjoy the holiday during the Chinese New Year, but runs to the office to work overtime.
Then he received a request from the staff on duty, and two people who claimed to be the director and producer of the TV series "Love Apartment" came to the door, saying that they came to discuss the cooperation and distribution of the TV series according to the appointment.
It stands to reason that Gong Yu doesn't need Gong Yu to go out in person for the distribution of TV dramas of this level, but after looking through the appointment registration, the staff on duty couldn't find the relevant information, because a large number of original airborne employees have recently left, and the staff on duty are not sure if there will be a mistake when they leave the handover, so they have to report it layer by layer, and finally ask Gong Yu for instructions.
Although the staff on duty did not find the relevant information, since what the other party said was correct, it was difficult to say that it was not a mistake by the employees of his own company, Gong Yu still decided to meet with the other party, "Take those two gentlemen to the reception room and wait, I will be there immediately." After thinking about it for a moment, he added, "Do a good job of hospitality." ”
This is because I am worried that my employees will vent their grievances with the Airborne Forces on the visitors......
In the reception room of the strange network, Li Mo was drinking a cup of coffee.
Compared with Li Mo's calmness, Zong Shuai, who was sitting on the side, looked a little cramped and uneasy, "Xiaomo, did you really make an appointment with someone from Qiwang in the hotel yesterday?"
"Of course not" Li Mo put down the coffee cup and looked at Zong Shuai in surprise, "Brother Zong, what are we going to do with that little time after we go back, the headquarters address of the strange network was obtained by us with great difficulty." ”
"Then you still told people that we have an appointment?" Zong Shuai was already about to be driven crazy by Li Mo.
"Calm down, Brother Zong" Li Mo explained unhurriedly, "Judging from the news we have gotten, although Qiqi.com has received investment from a large consortium, it has also parachuted a layman executive down because of this. Right?"
"That's right", Zong Shuai nodded, "In the past six months, although the CEO of Qiwei.com is nominally the head of Gong, in fact, it is this person who has parachuted in and the team he has brought with him. ”
"Then I'm sure that the actual manager of the Strange Network is no longer this one. ”
"Why?" Zong Shuai was a little confused.
"Because of the recent wave of resignations." Li Mo looked very sure, "Brother Zong, you think, in less than a year after Qiqi.com entered the video website industry, it has achieved the third place in the user viewing list, it stands to reason that this result can be regarded as ideal." ”
Hearing this, Zong Shuai also began to recall, "So it stands to reason that there should not be a large-scale resignation at this time." Unless it's ......"
"Unless there's a change in senior decision-makers within them that affects the entire team he brings in from top to bottom. Therefore, when we come to the door at this time, it is very likely that we are facing a strange network with a completely different business philosophy from the past. ”
That makes sense. After figuring out the reason Li Mo said, Zong Shuai immediately began to think about what kind of benefits his side could get from it, "But what does this have to do with you telling people that you have an appointment?"
"Uh......" Li Mo was almost choked to death by Zong Shuai's words, he put down the cup with tears and laughter, "Actually, it doesn't make sense, I just said that just to get a chance to meet." Judging from the reaction just now, maybe the weight of the people we will meet is not ordinary. ”
At this moment, the door of the reception room opened, and a man with a medium stature wearing glasses walked in and stretched out his right hand to Li Mo: "Hello, I'm Gong Yu." ”
