Chapter 30: Digging into the Corner

Of course, Station A has its staff, but because the website is purely two-dimensional, most of the staff are also very 'biased'.

The most important thing is that the scale of station A is too small, and the staff is simply not enough to support the framework of a large video website.

The current A station is a small company, similar to the Zeyue Chinese network in the initial stage, just imagine the foundation of the original Zeyue Chinese network, can you play the current Zelianke? Don't say Zelianke, that is, the current Zeyue Chinese network, the number of people has increased more than ten times compared with before.

No one, no matter how Zhao Zejun has a way, he can't do it for a while.

People are a real problem, and there is another one, which is the magic weapon that Station A relies on to become famous: barrage.

Station A is the first barrage website in China.

Zhao Zejun fell in love with Station A, partly because of the barrage. This not-so-complicated technology greatly increased user engagement and a few years later, it became popular all over the country.

However, on the current video site, 'barrage' is not favored.

"The barrage thing affects the viewing effect too much, as soon as it is opened, the entire frequency screen is all kinds of messy speeches, the more popular the video, the more barrage, whether to watch the video, or to watch the barrage, isn't this putting the cart before the horse!"

Ma Yun shook her head and said disdainfully.

He didn't expect two things, the first one didn't expect, he didn't expect Zhao Zejun to give up potatoes so easily. According to his character towards Zhao Zejun, he should not be a person who admits defeat easily, and there must be a backhand. The second one didn't expect that it was Zhao Zejun's backhand, who actually acquired Station A and replaced it.

In Ma Yun's opinion, this hand is not too clever, but it is by no means a 'faint move' as it is said outside.

After all, with Zelianke's publicity ability, coupled with the original user base of station A, on the basis of the ready-made website, it can become a 'relatively well-known' video website with a slight change.

The acquisition of station A is not a strange move, but at least it is decent.

After learning that Zhao Zejun was going to keep the barrage of Station A, Ma Yun and Gu Yongqiang breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

Gu Yongqiang is a professional video playback website, and his view of the barrage is relatively objective, saying: "The barrage has certain benefits and improves the sense of user participation. But the barrage of station A is too much.,I've watched a few.,I can't see the video content at all.,The picture is all covered.,It affects the perception very much.。 Youku has done a survey, and in general, there are pros and cons to the barrage, but it still does more harm than good. Video sites, content is king, except for particularly young audiences who are not interested in content, most viewers still don't want to be full of barrage. ”

"Hmm. Ma Yun nodded, "According to this trend, Zelianke may really give up the online video business for the time being, acquire Station A, just buy a ticket, follow the trend and not be eliminated, and don't plan to use all its strength on this for the time being." ”

As he spoke, he shook his head and smiled, and said to Gu Yongqiang in a relaxed tone: "It seems that this Mr. Zhao is indeed not an immortal, and this time he was firmly beaten by Wang Wei. ”

"I hope so. Gu Yongqiang nodded, at present, the online video market is already full of strong players, Tencent Video, Baidu iQiyi, all of which may pose a direct threat to Youku, not to mention the potatoes that have shown signs of recovery recently.

"That's right, take advantage of this time to hurry up the introduction of new content, and strive to expand Youku's lead. Ma Yun looked at Gu Yongqiang, and said meaningfully: "In terms of economy, Alibaba can invest in Youku at any time, you don't have to worry about not being able to fight iQiyi and Tencent Video." And I talked to Mr. Ma of Tencent that the style of Tencent Video is still quite different from Youku, and it may not directly constitute competition. ”

Every time Ma Yun talks about Youku's shares and money, Gu Yongqiang will have a very contradictory feeling in his heart: on the one hand, he hopes to bring more economic value to Youku through Alibaba, and on the other hand, he always feels that the time is not right, and it is too much to talk about 'shares' with Ma Yun at this time.

At this moment, Gu Yongqiang's phone rang, and he picked it up and saw that the company's assistant was calling.

It has been a few days since I left Youku's headquarters to come to Hangzhou on a business trip, and the company has something to report at any time.

"I'll answer the phone. ”

Gu Yongqiang nodded at Ma Yun with the phone, and then turned around and left the office, Ma Yun looked at the background of his departure, and quickly tightened his brows, not knowing what he was thinking.

Within two minutes, Gu Yongqiang came back, looking a little unnatural.

"Something happened?" Ma Yun saw Gu Yongqiang's rare solemnity, so he asked subconsciously.

"It's hard to say yet. Gu Yongqiang said in a deep voice: "Two senior executives of Youku submitted their resignation applications at the same time this morning. ”

It stands to reason that Ma Yun is not good at interjecting more about Youku's personnel changes, but his personal relationship with Gu Yongqiang is not ordinary, and Ali and Youku may also be inextricably linked in the future.

"It's important. Gu Yongqiang didn't have time to explain anything, so he said: "I must rush back immediately, try to keep them, at least find out what is going on." ”

Ma Yun thought to herself, isn't it because of equity distribution? I told you a long time ago, you can't eat alone, with Youku's current equity distribution plan, everyone in the company is dissatisfied, and other companies can easily poach executives as long as they are willing to spend their money.

"Okay, we're in touch at all times. Ma Yun said.

……

……

"Mr. Zhu, Mr. Yao, on behalf of Zelianke Entertainment and Media Division, I would like to join you!"

Almost at the same time that Gu Yongqiang received the call, a company executive-level meeting was being held in the main conference room of Zelianke. In addition to Zhao Zejun, there were also Ji Na, the supervisor of the Enterprise Operation Management Division, Song Zhidong, the president of the Entertainment Media Division, and a vice president of the Technical Support Division.

The level of the meeting is very high, although the host is Song Zhidong, but the one sitting at the top is Zhao Zejun, and the convener is also Zhao Zejun.

In the venue, there were three new faces, that is, 'Mr. Zhu and Mr. Yao' in Song Zhidong's mouth, and there was a person who looked young and looked like a student.

Yao Jian, joined Youku in 2006 as the chief technology officer, to create and continue to consolidate the industry's excellent reputation of "fast, complete, clear" Youku three-character formula, the design of Youku website that has been widely contacted by users in later generations, almost all from this person's handwriting, has rich experience in design, research and development, operation and maintenance;

Zhu Xiangyang joined Youku in 2006 as Senior Vice President and Editor-in-Chief. Previously, he worked in TV stations and Sohu, serving as the content director of China Broadcasting Network, and mainly cooperated with Gu Yongqiang in Youku, responsible for Youku's video content.

If Zhao Zejun remembers correctly, in two years, Zhu Xiangyang will have a new job content: mainly responsible for the production and investment of self-made dramas on Youku, as well as the production of innovative online content.

These two, one is Youku's technical housekeeper, and the other is Youku's content housekeeper.

Just two days ago, they were working in the headquarters office of Youku in the capital.

And at this time, they are already employees of Zelianke.
