Chapter Seventy-Five: The Trade-Off of the Other

In a private grassland resort near the Chengde Mountain Resort, a small two-story hotel was chartered by dignitaries. There are more than a dozen rooms, and only a small half of the downstairs is occupied. The second floor was almost empty, with only a couple of men and women.

This place is at the junction of Hebei and Mongolia, opposite the Chifeng of Inner Mongolia. The breath of the prairie has penetrated into the border of Hebei here. Many dignitaries and nobles in the capital like to come here for a few days to rest for a few days in the autumn and summer of September.

After all, September is not too hot, if it is a short vacation of less than three or five days, it will be a bit of a fuss to fly to Australia to cool off, and the round-trip flight of more than ten hours is enough to toss people.

It was early evening, and in the only room on the second floor of the resort, the queen bed was babbling and mingling with some sounds of fun. It seems that women know that their appearance is no longer as good as it was back then, and they can only rely on good work to make up for the difference in charm.

Sometimes, what men do is nostalgia, and what they haven't eaten for too long will produce beauty from a distance. After eating, that's all. Next time, you should look for the tender and soft ones, or look for the tender ones.

Since the bursting of the Internet bubble in 01, Chen Xiaowei once thought that those large Internet companies in China had no future, so he sought to go abroad again and worked as a foreign correspondent for three years. It wasn't until later that the big three recovered in 03 and 04 that she regretted returning to China. Because I was embarrassed, or anxious to prove my ability, I went to China.com to work for half a year.

So during this time, if you want to talk about the old feelings, there is really no chance. It is only now that it can be catharticized.

"Charles, I'm going to be the director of the entertainment division, okay?" Chen Xiaowei took advantage of the moment when he was comfortable serving people, and put forward the conditions that he had been planning for a long time.

The refractory period has just passed, Zhang is a little tired, and unconsciously prevaricates: "Don't talk about work on vacation, tired." ”

Chen Xiaowei's eyes were keen, and he immediately rode on the man's back, kneading and beating in various ways. So that the other party can relax their muscles and bones and relieve the symptoms of backache. The man was pressed and snorted, and she felt that the time had come, so she continued euphemistically:

"I've been working on Hatsune for more than half a month. Anyway, my ability is a real testament, and you can see it. They were able to make a breakthrough with the 'Game Anime Video Contest' because of the plan I set when I stayed there. Now that I'm gone, in the face of our newly pirated tactical offensive, Gu Mojie immediately couldn't even come up with a decent coping strategy. Seeing that we have taken back the share of online video. ”

The man was said proudly, and smiled complacently: "That's, you don't look at who made it." The scale we set ourselves, Gu Mojie's kind of offspring cub wants to crack it, and it is still tender. ”

Chen Xiaowei hurriedly touted: "Who said it wasn't." Now that I've figured it out, I don't want to do it. You've seen my abilities anyway. I will do things under you, and the people in the company will not look down on me and treat me as a relation. On the other hand, when I went to Hatsune Network for a while, I didn't publicize it to the outside world, so you don't have to feel embarrassed to use me. Isn't it? ”

The man was said to be a little moved, Chen Xiaowei saw that there was a door, and finally added a sentence at the door: "What's more...... And you're at the helm yourself, even if I can't figure it out a little, won't you help me change it? ”

This sentence played a decisive role.

Generally speaking, men have a sense of being omnipotent when they have just finished venting. That's why the pillow wind has been blowing for thousands of years.

Except for women, what foreign minister can admonish the monarch at the moment when his pores have just been relaxed?

"Okay, after I return to the capital, I'll explain this matter. You are slightly prepared to prepare. I will be in office in a few days. Our 'Sohu Entertainment COO'. ”

……

In the face of Hatsune Network, it is not the first time that Zhang Chaoyang's fist has hit an empty place.

A few months ago, when he used the topic of piracy to squeeze the first audio video, Gu Mojie backed down. Now Zhang Chaoyang himself is also on piracy. It is expected that Gu Mojie will follow up, or burn money with him to fight a public opinion war, or use some other means. However, none of these envisaged possibilities materialized. There is nowhere to use strength in vain.

The people who have competed with Gu Mojie in the business world, whether it is Hou Yantang or Zhou Hongyi, or now Zhang Chaoyang. There is a feeling that Gu Mojie is a person who does not leave his hands and has a wide vision.

Others regard him as an opponent, and they want to resist head-on, but Gu Mojie always does not fight, but chooses to take a detour, spread the stall, and finally fight back from other fields.

Gu Mojie's response to Zhang Chaoyang's attack was like the method of "Peng Yue scratching Chu": although Liu Bang couldn't carry Xiang Yu on the frontal battlefield, he could let Han Xin divide his troops and make a roundabout enclosure and let Peng Yue harass behind his back. Whenever the enemy chooses a battlefield to catch and kill, Gu Mojie just doesn't follow the enemy's routine.

If you can use Go as an analogy, Gu Mojie is a enclosure to do external power. His enemies are pursuing down-to-earth, calculating, strangling, and meticulous striking.

More than a week has passed since the Sohu piracy offensive, and the traffic that should have been lost by Chuyin Video has been almost lost. After the initial panic, the actual loss of Chuyin Video was basically revealed.

Judging from the results, due to Hatsune's response, the video site did not lose much of its users, and the number of daily active users decreased by less than 5%. The decline is more obvious in the total daily broadcast time - this piece, the estimated loss is more than 20%. And the game department such as Hatsune Singer has not been affected in the slightest.

In other words, there are not many fewer people who watch Hatsune videos every day. However, the average amount of time spent watching Hatsune videos has dropped significantly.

For this result, Gu Mojie analyzed it a little and knew it in his heart.

"Because we always have a unique, original, and irreplaceable piece of content in Chuyin Video, our user stickiness is strong enough. Even in terms of blockbuster resources, competitors use piracy methods to attract customers, but our users basically have to go around the first audio video every day and watch a few interesting jokes. As long as this momentum continues, and as long as we consistently deliver content that our competitors don't, our website can continue to grow and expand its impact. ”

This passage was said by Gu Mojie and the new president Ye Weilun during a private discussion. Ye Weilun also strongly agrees with this.

Looking at today's Hatsune Company, there are really few people who are so sudden, broad-minded and optimistic as Gu Mojie. Zou Sheng's people, after all, are closer to each other, and they can't stand the temporary contraction of business volume.

Of course, Ye Weilun's approval does not mean that he has no ideas. With Gu Mojie's so much salary, how can he prove his worth - especially since he has not proven that he is worth hundreds of millions of stock options.

In the process of chatting with Gu Mojie, Ye Weilun took the opportunity to mention a problem: "Although the decline in playback is not as terrible as the decline in the number of daily active users, the impact is also real, at least our advertising revenue will be reduced in equal proportions, which is very unfavorable for the company to obtain cash flow."

Especially Hatsune Singer because the hardware positioning was relatively high-end during research and development, and most computers in China can't play it. According to the original plan, the low-threshold video advertising business will play the role of the company's main cash cow in the second half of the year. If we don't have enough funds, the speed of our business expansion will be severely limited, and the expansion of the digital center will also be affected. ”

In other words, Zhang Chaoyang's blow did not block the expansion of Hatsune Network in terms of user share, but only stuck Hatsune Network to make quick money. As long as you find other ways to supplement in terms of fast money, it doesn't matter if you are carded by Zhang Chaoyang.

Gu Mojie didn't know what kind of medicine Ye Weilun wanted to sell, so he said tentatively: "Are you trying to persuade me to accept the wind investment shares?" Sequoia Capital or Software Bank? ”

Ye Weilun waved his hand and said, "If you are just asked to accept investment and dilute equity, then anyone will, how can I show my value." In the past few years, I have also done a lot of work for the company's top-level reorganization, and I have not talked about my personal stock options. I don't want to be in vain, so give me an authorization, I can help you tide over the current financial difficulties, as long as 205~30% of the project profits are proposed as my personal equity options. ”

As an aside, since Ye Weilun joined the company in August, Hatsune Network has undergone a series of structural restructurings. These financial and legal complications were all done at a time when the company was facing brutal competition from Internet entertainment products. It's just that this kind of thing is mostly boring, and there is nothing to talk about.

Today, Gu has established a company called "Hatsune Group", registered in Nassau, Bahamas, and has four wholly-owned subsidiaries, "Hatsune Network Technology", "Hatsune Entertainment", "Hatsune Holdings" and "Hatsune International", which correspond to the existing major businesses and possible external independent technology investment in the future.

From the first day of Ye Weilun's employment, Gu Mojie was waiting for him to show his value. However, he also knows that this kind of thing cannot be rushed, because every new executive needs time to familiarize himself with the company, the advantages and disadvantages of the company's technology and operation, and the strategic planning direction of the boss.

It is already rare to be able to come up with a set of "strategic transfer" roundabout means to solve the cash flow problem within one month of joining the company.

Gu Mojie asked expectantly: "Let's talk about your specific plan, I hope it can have a relatively high fit with the company's strategy." Instead of starting from scratch completely, then you won't be able to talk about quick money. ”

Ye Weilun Zhizhu patted his chest on the ground: "Don't worry, it must be in strict accordance with the company's strategic layout - this trick, I don't plan to take it out when I'm free." It wasn't until the other day that I confirmed that you didn't care about running government relations in the slightest. (To be continued.) )
