Chapter 262: The Birth of Wanshi.com

Ren Pingsheng is in his new office on the 32nd floor of the Golden Trade Building, waiting for the company's executives to meet next.

Although there is still ample office space in the Wanyou Building of Panjiang Software Park, Ren Pingsheng still asked Lin Lisong to rent 2,000 square meters of office space in Jinmao Building as the office space for his new company.

The reason why he wants to start anew is that Ren Pingsheng thinks like this:

On the one hand, considering that Universal Games is preparing to go public, and as a listed company in the future, it needs to further expand its strength, and the building of Panjiang Software Park is only enough, so there is no need to occupy the space of Universal Games now, so as not to move around in the future, and Ren Pingsheng will be troublesome.

On the other hand, this new company focuses on online video media playback services, and there is a large distance from the main business of Universal Games, which is not very appropriate when put together, so it is better to separate them.

The most important thing is that this company is invested in the name of Ren Pingsheng personally, and Wanyou Games is not involved, if it is put together, there will be a suspicion of melon fields and plums, Ren Pingsheng does not want others to say cool things, saying that he occupies the resources of listed companies.

The first to come in was Li Xinping, who had just arrived in Hanhai City yesterday and rushed to meet with Ren Pingsheng non-stop.

Prior to this, Li Xinping had resigned as the general manager of 4388 Games and accepted Ren Pingsheng's invitation to become the head of the new company.

Along with Li Xinping, there is also a technical team of about 20 people, these people have rich experience and basic reserves in web production and streaming media technology, which is of great significance for the business that Ren Pingsheng wants to carry out in the next step.

Ren Pingsheng has already registered the new company one step earlier, named "Wanshi Network Information Technology Co., Ltd.", with a registered capital of 20 million yuan, and its main business is: providing network video services, network terminal equipment and video platform value-added services.

Of course, it can be said that Li Xinping gave up the mature 4388 game website, and came to Hanhai City to create a new website and start a new business, in addition to Ren Pingsheng's super lobbying level, it is also indispensable to the recognition and cooperation of Cai Wensheng, the actual controller of 4388 games.

However, according to the agreement reached between Ren Pingsheng and Cai Wensheng, Ren Pingsheng sold 20% of the shares to Cai Wensheng, Li Xinping obtained 10% of the shares by way of technology shares, and Ren Pingsheng personally held 70% of the shares, still the major shareholder and controlled the company.

When they met for the first time, Li Xinping's impression of Ren Pingsheng was similar to what he remembered, the thin man was wearing a very ordinary suit, and the hairstyle was also a popular style in the last century, looking very inconspicuous, only a pair of eyes were very flexible and energetic.

Although he has been in Ludao City for many years, Li Xinping's words still have a strong Eastern Guangdong accent, and Ren Pingsheng has to struggle to understand what he is saying.

As soon as he sat down, Li Xinping spoke:

"The self-media station you asked Dole Games to do is a good idea. ”

Before Ren Pingsheng could talk, Li Xinping continued to speak.

"But you spent 1 million to make it for Dole, it's too expensive. ”

As soon as Ren Pingsheng grinned bitterly, Li Xinping continued to mend the knife.

"I'll make one for you, only 300,000 is enough. ”

This Li Xinping is really straightforward and fast-talking, and he will say whatever comes to mind.

Although the sale of Hi123 and many future investments have allowed Li Xinping to achieve financial freedom, judging from his language habits, Li Xinping still does not get rid of his true colors as a programmer, and his language is concise and to the point, without too much rhetoric.

However, Ren Pingsheng admires Li Xinping's character, and he has never had a good impression of people who are overly literate.

Ren Pingsheng has always believed that being able to express the meaning clearly with the least amount of words is the same as being able to do things well with the least amount of money, which is a necessary quality for an excellent subordinate.

With these few words alone, Ren Pingsheng can be sure that Li Xinping is a down-to-earth person, and it is only appropriate for him to be in charge of the business of Wanshi.

Li Xinping was really real, and then he opened his mouth and asked:

"Mr. Ren, what kind of website do you want to make? ”

Ren Pingsheng liked Li Xinping's straightforward style of doing things very much, he smiled slightly and said.

"Wanshi.com, the customer group should be under 40 years old, with a certain Internet knowledge; we want to provide video on demand viewing services on the web page, so that the audience can directly open the web page to watch TV, movies, but do not need customers to install any clients and plug-ins; the speed of our web page must be fast enough, do not let the audience wait too long"

Ren Pingsheng basically described his ideal video website based on his understanding of several mainstream video websites in later generations, and Li Xinping scribbled on a piece of paper with a pen while listening.

After Ren Pingsheng finished speaking, Li Xinping immediately spoke.

"The biggest advantage of your site is that you don't have a client. ”

Ren Pingsheng nodded slowly, and Li Xinping said that he was critical.

At that time, domestic online video providers mainly had PPX and PTV, they were all in the form of a client to watch, and users needed to install a client on the computer to watch the video, which was the biggest difference between them and Ren Pingsheng's video website.

Because China's Internet audience is so large, with the exception of some highly educated students and the urban middle class, the vast majority of Internet users have limited computer knowledge, and the software they usually need is pre-installed through manufacturers or computer stores. For them, even installing a network video client is extremely complex and difficult.

The inherent deficiencies of video clients such as PPX and PTV determine that they cannot include the majority of domestic Internet users into the consumer group, and also give video websites a rare opportunity to break through.

For this, of course, Li Xinping sees it very thoroughly, because this is consistent with the logic of the hi123 website navigation website he founded, which is developed for the most intimate needs of domestic Internet users, and the problems that can be solved and the innovations achieved are very small, but the improvement of the user experience is huge.

Because only innovation that is close to the ground is the innovation that is suitable for the domestic Internet.

Only a business model that is close to the ground is the best business model.

"That's the model of the website I designed. ”

Li Xinping held up the piece of paper in his hand and showed it to Ren Pingsheng.

"Put the search box at the top, and you can put some officially recommended popular program names in the white background of the search box. ”

"Then it's 4-6 squares,Categorized according to the different types and nature of the program,Users directly click on the category they want to enter the category and then find the program;The bottom is divided into three recommendation columns,Put the recently updated program picture on the left,Arrange it in chronological order;Put the current program picture with the most people watching it in the middle,Arrange it in order of the number of program viewers;Put the classic program recommendation map on the far right,Which programs are decided by the website。 ”

Li Xinping said while analogizing, in such a short period of time he will design the model of the future website, although his painting is not exquisite, but the prototype of a website's framework has jumped on the paper, and the effect is similar to Ren Pingsheng's desire, this awesome efficiency and understanding, really worthy of the founder of hi123.

However, although Li Xinping has done a good job, Ren Pingsheng still put forward a suggestion for improvement.

"Leave a large rectangular picture under the search box to play the most popular video screenshots, and use ultra-high-definition, beautiful large pictures, which can attract the user's attention more intuitively. ”

Ren Pingsheng's point is optimized according to the positioning of the video website itself,URL navigation needs to be filled in with more information and navigation bars in a small page,But the video website can't completely copy the hi123 set,Overly dense fonts and information will lead to visual fatigue for users,Let them have a sense of fear and impatience。

Replacing the most conspicuous position on the homepage with a high-definition picture about the program can well alleviate this psychology and get closer to the theme of the website.

Li Xinping is not a person who holds on to the inadequate, he quickly understood Ren Pingsheng's intentions, and made adjustments on his manuscript paper.

The next series of discussions went well, and when Ren Pingsheng asked about the conditions for the company's operation, Li Xinping replied:

"To do a good job on this website, I currently need 80-100 people, to do network playback without lag, at least 100G dual-line servers 150 if all the conditions are met, it can be made within about 5 months, and the stress test can be launched. ”

Li Xinping's self-confident and well-planned style of doing things made Ren Pingsheng very satisfied, and he nodded and said:

"You just do it, the funding is not a problem, and the personnel aspect is also up to you, I'll take a look at it later. ”

Li Xinping finally showed a smile on his face, the reason why he was willing to go out this time was because he took a fancy to the development prospects of the video website model, and on the other hand, because of Ren Pingsheng's superhuman wisdom in investment and market judgment.

But although Li Xinping came over, he still had some worries in his heart, and he didn't know what the new boss's style of action would be and whether he would be able to get along well in the future.

However, these concerns were dispelled by Ren Pingsheng's words just now, and with such a boss who values his subordinates and fully delegates power, the efficiency and success rate of doing things will be much higher.

This Wanshi network will definitely become popular in the future.

Li Xinping has confidence in himself, and he is also very confident in Ren Pingsheng.
