Chapter 52: May 1st (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
The high labor cost of the US imperialists made Dai and Zhuang start the establishment of Twitter China ahead of schedule. A large number of general jobs were left in China by them, and Johnson Chao also temporarily stopped in China until the newly recruited domestic person in charge was in place, this time the candidate was not familiar to Zhou Shi, the person in charge was called Liu Yiqing, and the CTO was called Zhao Peng, both of whom had higher educational qualifications than Zhou Shi, who was also born in 985,211, and his resume was also very beautiful.
The plan to share the bike is still going well, but there are too many troubles, and things such as uniform spraying can only be concentrated until the summer vacation. In addition to the work-study positions, it is even necessary to provide full-time positions, such as bicycles and electric scooters for future off-campus trips. The power supply of electric vehicles is also a problem, and I don't know if there will be one yet. There is also whether the school should be locked or not, and how to identify the use of students who pay fees and students who do not pay fees if they are not locked. If you pay the fee and you can't use the bicycle, you will definitely be very unhappy. Xiao Hansong had no choice but to try his best to explain and persuade other students except for his senior year. There is also cooperation with the student unions of other departments to maintain a smooth payment channel in the future. If Zhou Shi is asked to do these things, he is likely to give up halfway, or increase investment, and use the general momentum to crush the past, such as his coquettish operation on Time Friends. However, the trouble of that operation is obvious, and now the specific operation of the sharing bicycle has no assistance from the school student union, which is a lot of trouble. Fortunately, Zhou Shi is not specifically responsible!
During this period, another incident happened, after Mango's Long Danni returned to Hunan Province, it was not surprising that the separation of production and broadcasting was not achieved, that is to say, the idea of opening an independent company was in vain. However, he still agreed to Zhou Shi's overseas copyright request. Zhou Shi also did not have the habit of eating alone, leaving a thirty percent share in Hunan Province, and regardless of their specific distribution details, Zhou Shi still simply ordered it!
The development of 360 is simply changing with each passing day, and the number of 5 million users seems to be coming soon. Yahoo, as the biggest sufferer, has almost no ability to resist, and the search market looks pitiful under Baidu's continuous attack. The user experience is a big step worse than Baidu, especially Tieba, know, Encyclopedia, the largest blog in China, has nothing to do with Yahoo. Yin Yue's blog has attracted more and more celebrities to join. For example, BJ girl, talented girl Xu Jingyu. For example, Han Han, Guo Ming, not to mention the Chinese flyer Liu Xiang.
In April, after Zhou Shi's rigorous experience, Baidu input method will also be officially released. The browser based on the WebKit kernel has become Baidu's next R&D target. Google Chrome browser has become Zhou Shi's best guide, as a pseudo-technical expert, Zhou Shi can still say a thing or two about the advancement of Chrome. For example, browser extension frameworks, such as multi-threaded virtual machines, security features, and privacy mode.
Zhou Shi's strong rise seems to have affected a lot, and it doesn't seem to have affected anything, for example, Ma Dongmei and Xiang Hailong are responsible for Baidu's bidding ranking, after acquiring Xiang Hailong's company in February, Ma and Xiang began to dominate Baidu's advertising system, which is Baidu's largest source of revenue now. Zhou Shi is also weak, the big-spending Zhou Shi used up a lot of Baidu's savings, and the 10 million US dollars raised by the post bar company last year have also been used up, fortunately, the game information page of the post bar began to make a profit, and the advertising revenue of the post bar has grown well. Discuz almost monopolized the community software, and the Baidu alliance grew further. However, due to the influence of Zhou Shi, Baidu's listing has not yet started, and Baidu, which is short of funds, needs further financing.
In addition to Baidu, there is also Kangsheng that needs financing, and the strategy of focusing on CDN still has good results, and the business revenue growth is good, but the sales team and hardware equipment need a lot of money to maintain rapid growth. Venture capitalists who smelled the fishy smell flocked to it, Dai Zhikang, as the founder and main person in charge, was pushed to the forefront for a while, Baidu also seemed to have become the cradle of genius, Robin Lee was praised, and it seemed that Baidu had a lot of young geniuses and opportunities.
While talking about investment, Baidu and Kangsheng also began to promote Zhou Shi's next plan, the first China Internet Entrepreneurs Conference, commonly known as the Webmaster Conference. Invitations have been sent, time and place have been chosen, major Internet giants, including game companies, are also invited, and venture capital companies are also the focus. Including Qingke Chuang, which has recently pursued a little tight pursuit of time friends, but unfortunately the other party's valuation is too low, and Zhou Shi has no idea of negotiating with them at all.
According to the news given by Long Danni, preparations for the first season of China's Got Talent have begun, and Xinghai Culture holds the global copyright of China's Got Talent, and it is authorized to Mango Channel for life in China for free, in exchange for a certain amount of advertising cooperation resources of the show. The equity that is divided is obviously still useful, although it is an advertising agency and advertising discounts, it is obviously a good business, Xinghai Culture can at least be officially operated, and Tieba has naturally become a strategic partner in the first season of China's Got Talent. Zhou Shi, who is very confident in the talent show, naturally raised Baidu's price. Even if it is pre-IPO financing, Zhou Shi is not willing to be sloppy. It's a pity that the time is too tight and the funds are not enough, otherwise if it lasts for another year, Baidu may not need financing, and the income from advertising may be enough for Baidu's rapid development.
When the price of crude oil fell to about $50, Zhou Shi entered 500 lots, with an average price of 50.25. I wanted to buy more, but unfortunately I was too busy.
Lu He was in place, and Zhou Shi also approved their trading plan for gold, oil, copper and the Hang Seng Index. The initial funds were not large, and Zhou Shi did not need to worry about everything. By mid-April, the results were not satisfactory, but fortunately there was no loss. Lu He is also familiar with things, especially being instructed by Zhou Shi everywhere, such as the temporary and cultural company. Fortunately, the main thing is handled by the people on Mango's side, in fact, it is still a leather bag company, of course, there are still 5 advertising agencies with a total amount of 10 million, Mango Channel's reputation is good, the new program has not yet started, the advertisement has come to the door, and a few people who eat and drink together finally have a source of salary.
Kangsheng's venture capital talks still haven't been reached before May Day, let alone Baidu. And when the time came to May Day, a large number of things happened again, and they were all related to Zhou Shi. For example, China's Got Talent officially began, and the China Internet Entrepreneurs Conference was officially held in Beijing, for this meeting, Baidu invested millions in a small amount of funds, including two days and three nights of accommodation and venue for entrepreneurs, etc., but Baidu and Kangsheng have detailed data on various websites, packaged and sold to venture capitalists who came to look for opportunities, and collected different funds from venture capitalists according to time. It can be considered that they sponsored part of the event funds. It is said that next time they are going to give money in advance in the name of sponsorship. But that's not all about that, the most important thing is that on May 1st, the Chinese and American versions of Twitter went live at the same time!
