Chapter 621: The Remnant is King (I)
There is no doubt that whether it is a group purchase or O2O, it must rely on a high-quality team, and the country is okay, with sufficient human resources and high-quality talents. It's different in the United States, where their elite education makes there still a gap between the level of middle and low-level talents and that of China. The main thing is that it is too expensive, and those who make it look good on the books in order to attract investment certainly don't care, anyway, someone pays for it. It's a pity that Zhou Shi is ruthless, he doesn't want to be a simple businessman, a financier, and wants to do more and become an entrepreneur.
YELP's large-scale personnel reshuffle and personnel training was carried out in this way, and making such a decision at the height of competition surprised many people in the market. In particular, Zhou Shi didn't stay in Huaxia for the Spring Festival, and it seemed very abnormal to rush back to the United States in such a hurry. Well, in the eyes of the public, Zhou Shi's whereabouts are not so transparent, and many things are not known. may not know that Zhou Shi is often absent from the company. But investors and company employees don't know this. Although he still gave the Chinese employees within YELP a day of Spring Festival vacation, Zhou Shi nested in the company's office.
Employee training is a complex thing, and low-quality Americans are easy to fool, but high-quality Americans mostly have the ability to think independently. Most of the staff training contains brainwashing, so it is really difficult to find a level of training master. Fortunately, Yelp's values are simple and easy to illustrate. YELP pursues long-term interests rather than short-term interests. Serve consumers and merchants with heart and create value, and YELP can also gain from it. It is difficult to develop something without value, and the value of YELP is to optimize the allocation of resources in society.
Simple and complex, lofty and sense of mission alternately, so that employees know clearly what to do, and then take pride in their work, this is the training of Zhou Shi and their toss. With Zhou Shi's previous experience of small-scale employee training, it is still very difficult to cope with this kind of large-scale employee training. So of course, he is not responsible for the specific implementation, occasionally goes up to speak, constantly summarizes and repeats in front of different people, absorbs the experience of others, and then he also increases a lot of experience points. As a CEO of a listed company in the United States, you often have to face the public, explain yourself and explain the company, which can be regarded as a rainy day.
"Why are you so active these days?" Li Ying, even if Zhou Shi is very tired these days, he is still very sexual, and he always has to toss her for a while.
"It's nothing but that I think there is something wrong with us, by the way, you don't have contraception, right? Why hasn't there been any movement?" Zhou Shi
"What's the matter, you want to marry me?" Li Ying
"I want a child of ours, so that you can never live without me again!" Zhou Shi
"You think about the beauty, even if you have a child, I will dump you. "Li Ying
"Then I'll forcibly arrest you back as Mrs. Zhai!" Zhou Shi
……
Zhou Shi doesn't know how many investment projects the Qinglong Fund has now. After several capital injections, a total of $3 billion was invested, most of which was free money. The main investment locations are concentrated in the United States, Europe, Israel, India and China, and the investment projects are mainly in the TMT industry, with semiconductors, artificial intelligence, mobile Internet, and big data as the focus, and we are also looking for suitable talents to develop the biomedical and consumer goods industries.
This time, Li Ying and Zhou Shi went to the United States together because Microsoft wanted to acquire a project she participated in, Skype VoIP. In '09, eBay sold Skype to private equity firms such as Silver Lake Capital. However, in order to better manage Skype, they invited Zhou Shi to participate, and Qinglong Fund took the opportunity to join it. Zhou Shi is actually quite optimistic about this company, but unfortunately he has no money. At the beginning, it was valued at $3 billion, and more importantly, it also faced legal disputes with telecom operators. At the beginning, WeChat had a big contradiction with China Mobile, and China Mobile said that WeChat occupied a lot of their resources...... The tangled Zhou Shi finally gave up on acquiring the company. This time he was targeted by Microsoft, and with Microsoft's wealth, Zhou Shi had little hope of getting involved. Although the acquisition of AIA can greatly alleviate the cash flow of Galaxy Capital and Sixiang Fund, it is not possible to expand for the time being. Another reason is that Zhou Shi is promoting hatAPP and eChat, and he really can't show much interest in possible opponents.
In the following time, Zhou Shi was busy with internal training, and Li Ying participated in the negotiation. But such a big strategic change had to be explained to investors, and more importantly, to Yahoo and Yahoo's investors, so Zhou Shi accepted an interview with the media.
"Why did you set up Yelp?" said a reporter from the Peanut Hoard Post
"I want to make an attempt to open up online and offline transaction channels and transform the offline business environment through the Internet. "Zhou Shi
"Do you think it's possible now?" the reporter
"It's very likely!" Zhou Shi
"Are you talking about group buying? It doesn't seem to have the ability!"
"Group buying, no, you misunderstood, group buying is just one of the attempts, it may not play a big role, this is a trillion-scale market, we can do a lot more! Group buying is not our only one. "Zhou Shi
"yelp seems to have opened a hotel reservation service recently, is it preparing to enter the OTA market?"
"Yes and no, we focus on the basic needs of human beings to layout, mainly to solve a series of problems in life such as eating, accommodation, travel, etc., hotel reservation service is a supplement for us, but not the main purpose. "Zhou Shi
"So how do you compete with Priceline? They're the experts in this industry. "Journalists
"It's different, I'm learning about Costco, providing value to consumers, and then making money on it! Priceline makes a living from it, and they have to make money out of it, but we don't. So Yelp's service for everyone may be more pure. "Zhou Shi is blowing nonsense
"Are you saying that YELP's future profits will be made through membership fees?"
"With that in mind, I'm not sure about the future of YELP, and the membership fee might be a good experiment. "Zhou Shi
……
"I heard that YELP now has a huge personnel turmoil, fired a large number of employees, and is also carrying out large-scale staff training, at this time many group buying companies have received a large amount of capital investment, is the most competitive time in the market, are you not afraid of losing the opportunity?" reporter
"If it's a small market, I'm of course afraid, but the scale of this market is big enough, and the competition may be more fierce than imagined, and I think it's the leftover who is king, and the one who can survive to the end is the ultimate winner." Zhou Shibai plated the latest chapter of "The Rebirth of the Post-80s Legendary Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
