Chapter 551: Today's Headlines?
Improving the development of the media industry is an unprecedented challenge, at least Zhou Shi did not hear much about success in his previous life.
Bezos's acquisition of The Washington Post was a succession of profits for a few years, but that was the result of turning the Post into a software company. The content management system they developed is still something, attractive to a large number of media companies, optimized efficiency, can do more with fewer employees, and the cost is relatively much lower. Naturally, Zhou Shi will also learn some of it, not because Zhou Shi knows Bezos's successful experience, but because he will naturally react when he sees Newsweek's internal operating model.
Every successful large company inevitably has mixed factions and rampant bureaucracy, which is not a problem unique to China, but a common test faced by all enterprises in the world. Therefore, General Electric's Jack Welch and IBM's Gerstner have become management masters, and they have revitalized an aging enterprise. Of course, no one in Huaxia can do it, and the main reason is that Huaxia does not have a century-old enterprise. As for state-owned enterprises, they are creatures of another dimension.
There is no good way for the development of Newsweek, but it is still possible to establish a set of content management and distribution system software suitable for newspapers and magazines. The other is to set up a public account on Twitter, friends and Facebook to expand influence and maintain authority, with facts as the core, authority, professionalism or the basic value of the existence of traditional magazines. A good professional magazine has made a mistake, and it is really troublesome to change it. Weekly magazines, in particular, lack the timeliness of news and now lack breadth and depth.
"What do you think I should do?" Zhou Shi was worried in the Time Lab
"You really shouldn't have bought this loss!" Pichai said something that was not true, but meant the same thing.
"I've bought everything, and I can't return it, give me a suggestion!" Zhou Shi
"Is there any good advice for them to stop selling in print and then move all in on electronic publishing and the Internet?" said Pichai
"So radical, they won't hack me to death!" Zhou Shi
"Newsweek's continued losses are certain, and it will be difficult to reverse in the short term, and you are not an American, so why bother without their feelings?"
The development of our Internet industry has affected the fate of too many people, but no matter what time it is, the value of the media cannot be ignored, especially professional media professionals. In the current flood of information, it is necessary for us to receive more professional and in-depth reports. "Zhou Shi
"But there's no need to buy a weekly, isn't it better to buy the Washington Post?"
"I haven't figured out what to do in the future, a weekly magazine is quite troublesome, one of the three major newspapers in the United States, and a newspaper with great influence in the world, I can't play it for the time being. "Zhou Shi
"Then you're of little use here, I can't help it!"
"Why don't we open one, brainstorm and see what everyone thinks. "Zhou Shi
"No problem, but we've already discussed this issue, why don't you take a look at our video first?"
Do you need a special video recording for a brainstorming or routine meeting? But soon he didn't wonder anymore, looking at the familiar figures on the screen, all of them were so hateful at this time. There are few people who have confidence in Zhou Shi's acquisition, and they are all sneering, especially when some people deliberately grimace at the camera, obviously recorded specifically for Zhou Shi to see, wanting to see him laugh.
"Pichai, for everyone's sake, it's not good that I didn't say" Zhou Shi
"No need to say it, this is as it should be!" Pichai felt bad, Zhou Shi was too calm at this time, which made him feel a little chill behind him.
"Your hard work should be rewarded, rest assured......" Zhou Shi finished speaking, and smiled gloomily at Pichai, "Call these people out......" Zhou Shi pointed to a few guys who were tossing in the video very energetically, usually when he was there, he didn't see these people so happy!
With the thought that the dead Dao friend will not die and the poor Dao, Pichai quickly called everyone together.
"Simon, you are so great, those traditional media companies have to rely on us Internet people to save them!" A bald white young man, this guy seems to be called Abritet, he said that he was a young man, but judging from the baldness, he still hid a lot, and Zhou Shi also saw him say in the video footage, "I didn't see such a stupid Internet person, the person who made this decision has a problem with his brain"
"Oh, is it?" Zhou Shi
"Of course, do you say?" Abrite turned around and led the topic to the others, not letting Zhou Shi only stare at himself, who said that white people don't flatter people, they are all straight, then you must be not qualified to let him be tactful.
"That's good, since you all think so, I'm relieved, I have an extra task here, you can do it after work, of course, you can choose not to do it!" Zhou Shi
"Do it, do it!" Abrite hurriedly agreed, those who think that Europeans and Americans will leave work when the time is obviously not knowledgeable, this kind of thing can only exist in enterprises that have no future, or enterprises that have been very solidified internally. Of course, it does not mean that those who work overtime every day are good companies, Huaxia's formalism is very harmful, for fear that everyone will not know that their company is awesome, and they will work overtime every day. Even Huawei is not much better, their R&D investment is very large, but the R&D efficiency is really not good, from their internal feedback, Huawei management has a lot of problems. However, the accumulation in the early stage was very strong, and now it is time to produce results. In the face of the outbreak of good news, many problems in internal management have been covered. The current situation is that Ren Zhengfei's prestige is very high, but the internal powers are standing side by side, and if the successor is not established when the old man is healthy, when will it be? Maybe Ms. Meng will be arrested and unexpectedly become a hero of Huawei, so it may not be possible to take over.
"I want to develop a news aggregation app focusing on the mobile terminal, this app should have a certain browser and search function, and the most important thing is that most people can open a self-media account by applying, and can publish news information instantly, but because we are different from Twitter, we have the right to block and delete false, violent, and pornographic information. Ordinary accounts can comment on information, like, favorite, follow the functions of the social system of self-media accounts, and one of the core is that we need to develop accurate recommendation functions, based on big data, depict the user's interest map, and achieve accurate recommendation for users! Zhou Shi said his requirements with a serious face, what he wants to do is the overseas version of Toutiao, although there is a problem of patent infringement, there seems to be no particularly popular news aggregation APP in the United States in his previous life, but he believes that there is always a way to overcome this kind of problem. It's time for this group of overseas buns to enjoy the sour refreshment of being despised by big data and artificial intelligence.
"Simon, you'd better kill me, I'm wrong!" Alblit wailed......
