Chapter 102: Resources

"I think that the user positioning of email can be appropriately biased towards business users, rather than ordinary people like MM. Business users www.biquge.info are the most frequent users. This requires us to adjust our product strategy. ”

Chen Jun nodded again, "Let's talk about the direction of adjustment you want." ”

Encouraged, the product manager surnamed Yang from the mailbox talked more deeply.

"The positioning of MM is for the whole people, and the required product technology also needs to be considered from the whole people. Our mailbox can have a different emphasis. For example, the file breakpoint transfer function launched by MM before, I think this function is very good, and it is also used in mailboxes. However, because the technology is not in place, the breakpoint transmission is not too safe, and sometimes there are occasional errors. For example, if it is not compatible with certain systems, or some programs in the system, it is possible to go wrong. I think this feature is extremely important in business applications. For MM, although it is one of the important features, it is not the most important. But the mailbox is different, we need to strengthen this function and make it one of the powerful tools of our mailbox. To this end, we must also have a significant increase in transmission speed, so as to bring a better user experience to users. I applied for a recruitment plan from the Human Resources Department, but only a very small number of them were approved because of the income assessment criteria, which was far from meeting our needs. ”

"Also, we launched the function of network disk before. This function is similar to the file breakpoint continuation function, which is also a rigid need of business users, and it is a tooling improvement that must be strengthened. The capacity of our current network disk is very small, and the current office documents have transitioned from simple text to gradually adding a lot of pictures. This requires a large increase in the capacity of the network disk. And if we want to increase the capacity of the network disk, we need a lot of bandwidth and server investment, which I have to ask for additional support from the company. Because according to our current assessment, the server resources that can be applied for are far from meeting the demand. ”

"On the other hand, it is the optimization of details, such as the further optimization of the UI, the group function, the automatic reply function of the recipient, the status of the other party's server and other functions. These features are common to today's mailboxes, but I think we could have done it more user-friendly. These optimizations should not require additional resource allocation from the company, and our team can optimize these details on our own. But I personally think that if we can be staffed more, we will have the potential to do better. Although these functions are not obvious tools that can be used at a glance, if they are done well, the user experience will also be greatly improved, and our user stickiness will be greatly improved. ”

Finally, he made a summary, "MM can be both entertaining and commercial, but the entertainment of mailbox is inherently insufficient, and I think we should fully explore its business." As long as the business nature of the mailbox can be brought into play, the access to MM will definitely make each other's business attributes collide with a spark of 1+1>2, and the development of the mailbox is bound to be just around the corner! ”

Manager Yang said a lot of things, and it sounded like all kinds of tricks, money, people, and resources. But what he said was not unreasonable, Chen Jun thought about it and asked Jiang Chunqi, "What do you think?" ”

Jiang Chunqi took a look at his thoughts, "It's very good, it shows that Manager Yang still has in-depth thinking about the products he is responsible for." However, I think that although there are good reasons and indeed necessary, the allocation of resources can be prioritized and can be taken step by step, rather than having to be smashed all at once. ”

He gave an example, "like security, in fact, it is a top priority, and you must pay attention to it, you write a report first, how many people and resources are needed, and the company can consider it." In other respects, priority can be considered. For example, UI optimization and other detailed optimizations, which do not require much resources, can be done first with existing personnel. Efforts such as document breakpoint enhancement can also be recruited and carried out in parallel with existing staff. Resources like network disks that require a lot of money, we can also expand step by step, and we don't necessarily need to do it in one step. ”

Chen Jun nodded, "Not bad." The company's resources are also very tight, and it is impossible to have enough to have as much as you want, you can only take it step by step. Mr. Jiang is reasonable, security is the top priority, although it is indeed hidden, but there is no room for a leak. Manager Yang also has a lot of ideas about the positioning of the mailbox, and what we need is such attentive employees. Only by putting yourself in the shoes of the company's products can you increase your own revenue. ”

Everyone discussed it, and basically set the tone according to Jiang Chunqi's opinion, Manager Yang took someone to write a report happily, he didn't expect him to agree to everything when he moved his mouth, and now it is a good result.

This temporary meeting immediately spread throughout the company, and almost all projects were on the sidelines. What a rare opportunity to get such an opportunity to come out of thin air and conveniently ask the boss directly for resources. Several product managers are gearing up to prepare for the exam, preparing to give a speech that will impress Chen Jun even more if they run into him.

But at this time, Chen Jun had already returned to the office with Jiang Chunqi, Cui Jianqiu and others and began to discuss another product.

The next product that sparked their discussion was the forum.

Because of the incomparable interactivity in the existing Internet products, the development of the forum has attracted countless people to rely more and more on and get used to brushing the forum, and more and more people have a different social circle on the forum than the entity, and the influence of the forum is not comparable to other products in the current Internet world.

Xianglong's current two forums, Xianglong Forum is still developed by the subsidiary of Xianglong.com, which has certain limitations. The acquired Xinshi Forum, with its own status, has gone through twists and turns, starting from being acquired by Xianglong, and moving towards a new peak.

Today, the daily traffic of the Xinshi Forum has exceeded 80 million, and the monthly active users are nearly 100 million, and according to the current growth trend, it will soon exceed 100 million. At the same time, the number of online users also reached 30 million, and it is still reaching new highs.

The most important thing about the Xinshi Forum is not only the huge traffic, but the growing influence. This kind of influence has even gradually spread from the Internet to the offline, and has attracted the attention of the media many times. There are many hot topics that broke out at the Xinshi Forum, which have been tracked and reported by the media and have become hot topics for a while.

It can be said that the Xinshi Forum has now become one of the pillar products of Xianglong.

However, this is the kind of Xinshi Forum, and now it is also encountering difficulties.

Cui Jianqiu, general manager of the Xinshi Forum, said, "The development of the forum needs a new form. ”
