Chapter 699: Yahoo Europe

Maybe Liverpool's success came relatively easily, unlike Chelsea's long-term aspirations, or maybe Liverpool is an old giant with a deep heritage, and as long as no one drags it back, it can create brilliance. Zhou Shi was not at all excited about this, of course, the main reason may be that no one attributed Liverpool's success to him, which made him a little cautious. However, there should still be some expressions, bonuses and rewards are indispensable, under the premise of Zhou Shi's guarantee of continuous investment, Liverpool's core has no idea of leaving, and they still want to create a miracle of three consecutive championships. The captain of the Reds and Xavi Alonso are Liverpool's main candidates for the Ballon d'Or in the past two years, and the outstanding team record should also have personal honors to match. It's not just the team that's working hard, it's the team's sponsors who are starting to do it. There are still benefits to British citizenship, at least not to be discriminated against. Gerrard's chances of winning the Ballon d'Or are too great, and while England's chances of a good Euro result are not very high, they are not absolute, if Gerrard's prestige is enough, coupled with the confidence that Liverpool's victory brings him

In addition to watching the game, Zhou Shi also stayed in Europe for a few days, Airbnb's development in Europe is unexpectedly good, and the user acceptance is much greater, so the company's development is also very fast, but Yelp's group buying and other businesses are also facing great challenges, and many local companies have launched a lot of impact on yelp. Ants bite and kill elephants, and he has to pay attention to them. At the same time, he is also inspecting European Internet financial companies, not seeking control, but just participating in them. The central role of finance in the economy is very obvious, and before the industry really grows, he will be able to occupy more advantages in the future world. He doesn't know much about European Internet finance companies, and European Internet finance has not been the focus of China's domestic attention for a long time. Especially the Internet, and the fierce competition with Time Music, Spotify, the music streaming company from Northern Europe, can only try their luck. Luckily, he was lucky enough to choose a payment company called Adye and a banking software company called Wirecard.

Yelp's overseas businesses are much more powerful than Yahoo's overseas affiliates, which also allows them to create more flexible marketing plans. Yelp is trying to adopt a new approach to the assessment of whether the local person in charge is suitable for the long-term development of the company through big data analysis. Of course, this is what is said in words, but in fact, there is no balance between decentralization, power and supervision.

What Zhou Shi does is not an assessment, but to spread Yelp's values.

"We must adhere to the customer-centric, consumer first, merchants second, Yelp third value order" Zhou Shi repeated the company's values again and again, that is, Meituan's seven values, such as teamwork, embrace change, integrity, dedication, diligence and thrift, learning and so on. Yelp's employees have different levels of education and the situation they face around the world, so how can you keep the bigger and bigger companies fighting and differentiate yelp from other group buying companies? Executives who don't fit Yelp's corporate culture, not even Yahoo executives, like Marissa Mayer, can't interfere with Yelp's management. Constrain yourself and others with culture, Alibaba, Google, Facebook and other giant companies are doing this, which is a means for them to maintain the normal operation of the enterprise, and it is also a guarantee for long-term development. The world is developing, the personality of employees is becoming more and more prominent, the organizational form of enterprises is constantly changing, and the management methods are constantly evolving. Dai Xiuli, a billionaire woman at the level of tens of billions of soft sister coins, divorced her British husband, and this ex-husband only needed 1 million pounds in alimony, because he was tired of living too rich. In this world, there will be many people who have achieved financial freedom and are willing to fight for their ideals. He will not expect the whole company to have a high consciousness, as long as it does not violate the general principles, it does not matter whether it is a sincere user of the company's values, as long as the core of the enterprise can firmly maintain this set of values.

Visiting Europe has given him a clearer understanding of the development of YELP, and it is undoubtedly very correct to insist on an approach that is beneficial to both consumers and businesses. The YELP membership program is being promoted, and the company has shifted from group buying to consumption discounts, representing YELP's transformation to life services. The use of membership price instead of group purchase price as the main model of YELP makes the development of this industry more durable.

Yelp membership card users can enjoy personalized features and benefits such as discounted prices, discounted prices after merchant discounts, and member-specific services. This is not unusual, membership cards are available all over the world, from all walks of life. What is different is that yelp's membership card only has an online mode, no physical card, and you also need to pay through yelp, that is, Yahoo Stripe payment (yelp's payment model) to enjoy yelp's membership services.

"What do you think are still the problems in Europe?" Zhou Shi asked with a little tiredness, this trip can also be regarded as an official trip. It's good to be a big boss, and he basically doesn't need to pay for his own daily consumption. Some of his assistants are also attached to Yahoo, and there are few places to pay for him personally, and even his Gulfstream and two helicopters are maintained by the company, not to mention the safety protection.

"Yahoo or all?" said Chen

"Let's talk about Yahoo first!" Zhou Shi

"I think we need to increase the promotion of Yahoo Messenger, according to our plan, Yahoo Messenger will occupy a very key position in the future, Famp; After the F listing, Zuckerberg increased the integration of the two companies, shelved H5, and developed in the direction of APP, with the number of their users, if they exert force in the mobile communication market, it is likely to have a great impact on us. "Chen Wen

"Yes, is there anything else?" Of course, Zhou Shi knew that if it wasn't for the merger of the two companies, the website couldn't be merged, and the trouble caused by the data fragmentation between the two companies, with Facebook's user base, maybe there would be no Yahoo Messenger. Now Yahoo Messenger has opened the Moments feature, and Famp; There is direct competition with F, and Zuckerberg will definitely pay more attention to the development of Yahoo Messenger.

"There is also the fact that we should increase Yahoo's mobility, judging from the current trend, the penetration rate of smartphones is very high, and the development trend of mobile Internet may exceed our imagination. "Chen Wen

Europe has always been among the world's leading smartphone penetrations, and there are smartphones of various brands everywhere, and feature phones are rarely seen. However, Yahoo's mobility, driven by Zhou Shi, is actually the most powerful among all large Internet companies in the United States, and the latest chapter of "The Rebirth of the Post-80s Legend Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
