In November 2004, the latest issue of "Internet Weekly" was released, comparing some well-known enterprises engaged in the Internet industry in China, and finally gave an evaluation of one super, many strong, and princes at the same time.

A super refers to Hengchuang, which has digested the original Tengxun resources.

Not long ago, on the National Day, the latest upgraded version of the original Tengxun buckle has been completely integrated with YY voice. In order to eliminate the influence of Teng Xun, the name of the buckle was officially removed and changed to YY voice, but at the call of users, the penguin icon was retained.

The upgraded YY voice has been well received by users as soon as it was launched.

The original Tengxun buckle only had a chat function, and later borrowed from Renren and launched a personal space function, in general, it was too monotonous.

The newly launched YY voice not only inherits the more eye-catching space functions and avatar show functions of the original Tengxun buckle, but also plays with YY. Games such as Happy Farm have been bundled, and in addition, YY music has also been launched, and the functions and applications have been greatly enriched.

Hanging YY, listening to music, playing games...... This has become a habit for users to log in to YY voice.

The most abundant functions and applications have made YY voice not only take over the leading position in Tengxun buckle instant messaging, but also climb to another peak.

In addition to the YY voice integrated with Tengxun buckle, Hengchuang also has another big killer, that is, Renren.

This platform, which has also developed tens of millions of users, has become another pillar of Hengchuang.

Today's network status quo is that private chats are buttoned with buckles, and personalized display and interaction are used by Renren Network.

With the support of these two phenomenal products, today's Hengchuang seems to have the largest number of users on the whole network, and the activity of users is also the highest, and it has a bit of a giant posture.

How strong it is refers to the three major portals that were first listed in the United States, Wangyi, Xinlang, and Sohu, plus Shengda, which has been listed and is extremely expanding.

Although the portal is no longer the mainstream of the network, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the more abundant funds obtained through the listing can allow them to have more attempts, such as the game road of Wangyi, Xinlang development communication software, etc.

In addition to these three, the newly listed Shengda is also listed among the strong, after the listing of Shengda in the United States, with the outbreak of the domestic game industry, the stock price is rising, and now the company's market value has exceeded 10 billion, the company is also financing more than one billion to expand its business, after Tengxun was acquired by Hengchuang, it now seems to be aiming at Xinlang.

Although Shengda has become the most profitable company in the Internet field by virtue of its legend, it has not had a strong foundation after all, and it is rated as a company that may not be able to maintain a strong posture at any time in this weekly.

Among the many remaining princes, there are many, among which Baidu, Ali and eBay are in the midst of a fight, Yahoo, which recently spent a huge amount of money to acquire 3721.com, and Ruixing, a leader in the field of antivirus software.

This season's "Internet Weekly" also pointed out the shortcomings of some companies relatively objectively.

For example, relying on the game "Legend" to start, and to go public, the biggest weakness is that the foundation is unstable, after all, no matter how popular a game is, it is impossible to be popular for a lifetime, once the legend ends, and Shengda can not find the next game that continues to ignite the profit point, it is likely to win and decline.

Another example is now just like Hengchuang, the biggest key point is the development of profit model.

Nowadays, the reason why Hengchuang can have the posture of being a leader in the Internet industry is mainly because it has the largest number of users and the most active platform in the whole network. In the future, whether it is to continue to develop and develop, or to raise funds and go public, it needs to have enough profit points to support.

Only when there are enough profit points can there be enough funds for development, and only then will they be more favored by the capital market.

…………

In the office of the chairman of Hengchuang, Gu Heng casually put down this issue of "Internet Weekly" and didn't care too much.

Hengchuang is not a lack of means and models to make profits, but a lack of sufficient time.

Since the merger and acquisition of Tengxun, the company's focus and energy in the past few months have been on integration, not only the integration of Tengxun's original buckles and other products, but also the run-in of employees of the two companies.

You must know that the total number of employees of Hengchuang in Xiangshi has exceeded 2,000. In Shenzhen, after absorbing the original team of Tengxun, some employees were recruited from outside, and after readjustment, there were nearly 2,000 people.

The company with nearly four or five thousand employees, which was previously divided into two companies, must not only be integrated, but also prevent the tail of the subsidiary in Shenzhen from falling out, which will inevitably take a certain amount of time to integrate, and let the employees of the two places slowly run in.

It is also because of the bias of the center of gravity that Hengchuang's turnover in the last quarter was not outstanding, only 520 million.

An Internet company with hundreds of millions of users has a quarterly revenue of just over 500 million, which is equivalent to a monthly revenue of less than 200 million. In terms of Hengchuang's huge family foundation, the monthly operating costs, including employee salaries, will exceed 100 million.

In other words, Hengchuang has only reached a small surplus stage now.

Of course, in view of the fact that Hengchuang is not listed and has not disclosed financial statements, the outside world naturally cannot know the specific revenue data of Hengchuang, and can only make a rough estimate from some of the existing charging items of Hengchuang's products.

And this is also the origin of the conclusion that Hengchuang needs to expand profit channels.

But obviously, these remarks did not affect Gu Heng, he got up and stretched, and poured himself a cup of tea.

However, before the tea was finished, the office secretary's internal phone called.

"Mr. Gu, it's time for the meeting!"

As the chairman and CEO of the company, Gu Heng naturally does not need to visit the front line every day to guide and inspect the work, and the daily work task is actually a meeting with one another.

It is said that since the founding of our party, there have been endless meetings at the top level every day, Gu Heng didn't understand before, and felt that it was useless to always hold meetings, so it was better to do something practical.

But by now, he's kind of understood.

With the gradual expansion of the company's scale, it is impossible for him to go to each department to understand everything, and as the helmsman of the company, he must have a detailed understanding of the overall situation of the company.

The only way to do it!

The senior management sat down and reported on the operation of each department, what were the shortcomings, what needed to be improved, and determined in the discussions, and then carried out.

Whether the proposal is effective and whether the implementation is in place, through the feedback from the following departments, the report with the supervision department, and his own occasional inspections, finally summarized into the hands of himself as the helm.

As a result, the effective system was determined in one meeting, and the direction of future development was also determined in this meeting.

It was also in this meeting that Gu Heng, who had always felt that he lacked management experience, was also growing rapidly.

In the past, he thought that he was not good at management because he did not have this natural skill, but now he thinks that except for a very small number of geniuses, the rest, no one is much more stupid than the other, and the reason why he feels inferior to others in some aspects is either that his efforts are not in place, or that his efforts are in the wrong direction!
