Chapter 301: Transformation to the Mobile Internet
The functional characteristics of the timeline are very obvious, there are a lot of things like privacy protection and brand promotion, and the specific discussion and improvement of the details are handed over to Wang Xiaochuan and they are responsible, and Zhou Shi is still more assured.
"After talking about the friend network, let's continue to discuss Time Holdings. Zhou Shi slowed down a little and continued to the next question.
Everyone also stopped the discussion just now and sat down one by one.
"There is nothing to say about the three projects of time literature, music, and video, which are to fight management, technology, and operation. If you do a good job of operating independently, the management holds shares, and if you don't do a good job of replacing people, if you can't do it, you will spin off and sell it to others. Everyone has no opinion!" Zhou Shi finished speaking, looking at the heads of the three companies, as well as their immediate bosses. This is to force them to make a military order.
"No problem!" replied three times in a row.
"Then I will believe, depending on your actions and results. I have said everything that should be said about the e-commerce project that Lao Huang is responsible for, and there is nothing to add now. I only have two requirements, first, not to make a profit within three years, and second, not to go out of business within five years. What we do is a brand, and it is also an attempt, in response to the financial crisis, for Huaxia manufacturing, and for the rise of domestic products!" Zhou Shi said solemnly and Huang Huainan.
"I understand" Huang Huainan
"Well, we set great goals, but the premise can survive in the world, only our business can grow healthily, we can make more contributions, so have ideals, down-to-earth, don't be ambitious, unrealistic. So Lao Huang's work is still very arduous," Zhou Shi said carefully.
"Time games!, we'll talk about that later. Zhou Shi's eyes soothed Yao Xiaoguan
Our next focus is the mobile Internet, which is based on the three major mobile operating systems. All of our companies have to start preparing for the arrival of the mobile Internet era. "Zhou Shi
"Simon, it's too early for us to turn to the mobile Internet," Lei Jun
"It's a bit early, but the issuance of 3G licenses, the popularity of smart phones will accelerate the development of the mobile Internet, Guoke mobile phone has been negotiated with China Mobile, within a year will be put into a mobile phone based on the TD network, next year will also cooperate with Unicom, the second generation of Guoke will be introduced into China. Nut Mobile will also launch its first Android-based smartphone next year. Our products will be adapted to these mobile phones at that time. In addition, Yu Yongfu, how is the traffic growth rate of your UC, and how many people around the world use your browser?"
"We have more than 10 million users worldwide, more than 8 million monthly active users, and an average of more than 15M per user per month (this data is guessing). Yu Yongfu opened his mouth and came.
"We don't know when the era of mobile Internet will come, but we have to prepare more and try more, maybe the Internet competition in the mobile Internet era and the PC era are two modes of thinking. "Zhou Shi
"Yes, the phone is so big, the content displayed is so small, and the eyes look uncomfortable. "Someone A
"Whether it's the Apple iPhone or the Fruit Shell Generation, the battery life is too short, will so many consumers be willing to buy it?"
"The sales of iPhone2 have been a good illustration of all this, even if the system is not perfect, the mobile phone is not perfect, there will be a lot of people willing to try to buy, we must change our thinking, 2 on the market, so that the sales of iPhone1 plummeted, and the shell 1 generation after the initial decline, sales continued to rise. There are many things that are difficult for us to predict, and even if it takes more time, money and energy, we have to choose a more likely path for the future of the company. Zhou Shi still insists on his own point of view, but everyone is becoming more and more recognized.
As an Internet person who leads the times, many friends of Time have iPhone and Fruit Shell, the original kidnapping marketing, so that Jobs is very dissatisfied, many times out of the mouth, criticizing Fruit Shell for stealing iPhone patents and design ideas, the main reason is that the CEO of Fruit Shell North America is Apple's old subordinate, but the actual situation proves very well that the design patent application time of Fruit Shell is earlier than that of IPhone, the operating system is Google's, the CPU is Qualcomm, there are these two corporate endorsements that are not inferior to Apple, coupled with the bundled marketing of Fruit Shell and Apple, European and American consumers have improved their brand awareness of Fruit Shell, treating him as a brand that is slightly inferior to the iPhone. However, the upgrade of IOS has filled the shadows of the Fruit Shell company, Android is Google's operating system after all, for whatever reason, they have slowed down the development of Android, and let HTC join the battlefield. This made Zhou Shi's original idea of developing a tablet computer based on the Android operating system go to waste, and instead cooperated with the Android of time, due to the relationship between Lei Jun and Kingsoft, Guoke cooperated with them to develop Android-based PS, which was also the first step for Kingsoft to go to the world. As for the game, it still requires the efforts of Time Games. However, relatively, the release of the Guoke tablet has to be postponed again, and I don't know if it can be released before the Apple iPad.
In any case, most of Zhou Shi's opinions were still adopted by them, and as for how much can be implemented, it still needs the cooperation of managers and the test of time.
After the meeting, Zhou Shi and Yao Xiaoguan came to the time game.
"Why do you want to sell web games to friends?" asked Yao Xiaoguan impatiently
"How promising do you think web games are, and how long is the life of each web game? Does this conflict with the culture and ideals of our game-making?" Zhou Shi asked rhetorically
"That can't be so cheap for them. ”
"Friends lacked the necessary cash flow, and with the participation of venture capital, we couldn't directly subsidize him, so the web game department had to give them a last resort. However, don't worry about your feelings, you can take as much as you want. "Zhou Shi
"Then how much should we sell?" Yao Xiaoguan
"Are you willing to sell it now?" Zhou Shi smiled slightly
"I've been watching these games for a long time, they are simple and crude. Yao Xiaoguan
"Well, in this case, you still choose to invest in a friend's Internet café, they don't have money to ask for, and asking for debt doesn't mean much to the time game, if the game is done well, you won't be short of money. If it's not done well, these debts aren't worth much. "Zhou Shi
"Then we will choose to take shares, are they willing?" Yao Xiaoguan
"The part of the equity you invested in was transferred to Time Holdings, but the right to dividends belongs to Time Games, and there is no way to do this even if they don't want to. "Zhou Shi
"Are you going to trick people again?" Yao Xiaoguan
"Don't talk nonsense, when have I ever cheated someone. Zhou Shi immediately retorted
"Hehe!" Yao Xiaoguan was indifferent
"Well, Lehman is bankrupt, but that part of their equity can't fall into the hands of anyone else. Zhou Shi said simply and directly. The valuation of Friends.com is in the hands of Time Holdings, if someone makes things difficult for Zhou Shi, then it is conceivable that Time Games will get more shares, and if the other two venture capitalists are dissatisfied, they will compensate them for other projects at most, and no one will find an excuse. Zhou Shi is very familiar with these small tricks, and someone has already communicated with him.
"Do we also want to transform our game company to the mobile Internet?" Yao Xiaoguan didn't care who Zhou Shikeng was.
"Yes, our focus in the future is mobile games," Zhou Shi replied with a nod.
