Chapter 337: Two Great Enemies
In the end, Su Ming asked Lin Huizhu to inform Qiqi, asking the latter not to take care of Wangcai and them, but to accompany Britney to go shopping.
Ordered to go shopping, this is definitely a good thing, Qiqi naturally has nothing to do.
With Qiqi's company, Britney didn't continue to make trouble.
In the office of Douyin Company, Su Ming sat on a chair and listened to Zhu Shunwei's work meeting.
This is a weekly high-level meeting, and each department needs to give a brief description of its work or have questions, which can be raised here.
In the process of enterprise operation, it is inevitable that there will be problems of one kind or another, and non-urgent issues will generally be discussed at such regular meetings.
Su Ming has participated in it a few times before, and today it happened to catch up this time.
There was nothing major happening at the regular meeting, mainly because someone wanted to do e-commerce, and the project report was submitted.
Douyin e-commerce?
This is a sector that increases Douyin's revenue, just like Ahri, Goudong, etc., they are all e-commerce platforms, and Douyin can also become an e-commerce platform.
It's just that it would be too hasty to invest in this part too early?
Su Ming did not express his opinion, but listened to their discussion, Cheng Li was a centrist, Zhao Zijin was an oppositionist, and Wu Heqiu, the head of the operation department, was a hard actionist.
Together with Zhang Jianbin, the financial director of Douyin, they are very supportive of Wu Heqiu, and it can be said that the two are almost wearing the same pair of pants.
At present, the company's registered users are about to exceed the threshold of 200 million, and the daily active users have exceeded 80 million......
In the entire domestic Internet platform, it can be said that we Douyin is a well-deserved Lan Bowan, and it is the best time to enter the field of e-commerce at this time......
Internet celebrities need more means of monetization, even if we don't do it, won't they bring the goods?
And Feixin is also pressing step by step, why can't our company be strong?
Although we all understand that the investment in entering the e-commerce field will be very large, there is no doubt that the income will also be greater.......
We can't choke on food, and we can't stand still......"
This is Zhang Jianbin for the reason for the development of e-commerce, each of which is very sufficient, and the temptation is also very strong.
But Zhao Zijin is not a vegetarian, and her reasons for refutation are also very sufficient, making it difficult to refute.
"At present, the reason why our users are so active is precisely because it is pure, there are no impurities, and there is nothing dirty.....
Maybe Director Zhang is right, intervening in e-commerce will make Douyin stronger, but it is also possible to lose our users, or even ruin our Douyin......
This is not alarmist, please listen to me, and I will analyze it with you one by one.....
The negative teaching material is our peer Kuaishou company, why is this company surpassed by us? It's not because it's not pure, it's like that.....
Then, our Douyin users, in fact, have not reached the ceiling at present, and can continue to operate, constantly outputting more and better videos, we must detonate the entire Internet......
Let many potential users download Douyin and become our daily active users, so that they can develop the habit of watching Douyin every day......
It's like a few decades ago, the first thing we did at dinner every day was to turn on the TV and watch the news......
That's what we aim for......
Small and medium-sized celebrities, top Internet celebrities, etc. have joined our Douyin platform one after another to continuously provide high-quality content for the platform, but this is not enough.....
Many first-line stars, even super celebrities, and our official media, this is Wang Fang.......
As long as we invite them all, our entire platform will become more fair, just and open, and provide more high-quality and diversified content......
When the position of our platform is completely unshakable, and the number of users is almost close to the ceiling, isn't it logical to get involved in e-commerce at this time?
In addition, now intervening in the e-commerce platform, doesn't this invisibly let Douyin set up more big enemies? We're eye-catching enough, so don't add fuel to the fire at this time.....
A Feixin company will make us like a big enemy, and then a Ahri, a dog Dong, can we handle it? ”
Su Ming, who was in the audit, listened very carefully, and the two sides said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable.
Zhang Jianbin refuted Zhao Zijin, saying that the latter was too alarmist and did not see the profits brought by e-commerce at all.
Zhu Shunwei didn't speak, just let them discuss first, and when the conversation was almost over, he asked them to pause first and discuss it next time.
Because the business of e-commerce is not so simple to intervene, you also need to apply with Su Ming, mainly for funds!
In addition to these, as Zhao Zijin mentioned, diversified content output and user habits are the top priority.
As a developing Internet company, Douyin's foundation is users, and the core is operation, so the content is very, very important.
It can be said that the reason why Douyin is where it is today is that Zhao Zijin's team has made great contributions to the content output and promotion.
After the regular meeting, the departments left, and now there are a few bigwigs still sitting in the conference room.
"Boss, I've been in the beautiful country for more than half a month, don't you have a send-of-handiac?"
Zhu Shunwei looked at Su Ming and joked with a smile.
"Why not?" Su Ming smiled and pointed to the office area outside, "It is estimated that they have already finished eating.....
As his net worth gets bigger and bigger, many friends who used to play well will change their eyes and names when they look at him.
Now Zhu Shunwei and Cheng Li will not be like this, and they can still chat without restraint as before.
Small talk for a while, then get down to business.
Su Ming will not come to the company to shop idly, and everyone in the conference room knows this very well.
Previously, Feixin Company sent an acquisition invitation, and Zhu Shunwei has been in circles with the other party for more than half a month, and it is estimated that the other party has noticed that something is wrong.
After all, Feixin is a behemoth, and the other party wants to acquire Douyin and want to get involved in the field of short video, which is a normal business behavior.
But it is precisely because of this that Su Ming is nervous.
According to Zhu Shunwei's analysis, Feixin may launch their own short videos in the near future, and then there will be a big giant in this field.
In the era of traffic, whoever masters the traffic entrance will win the future.
Since the establishment of Dadouyin, especially after the registered users surpassed Kuaishou, it has attracted the attention of many young people, causing many Internet giants to perceive the decline in traffic, and even Feixin has felt threatened.
Previously, Fetion did a survey and found that the time spent by users in Fetion has been reduced by 10 percent.
Ten percent is a very scary thing, which means that the traffic of Fetion is decreasing.
is also an Internet company, and it is also a giant in the Internet, and it is impossible for Fetion to have no indication.
The acquisition and launch of their own short videos took place almost simultaneously.
"And what's your plan of response?"
Knocking on the table, Su Ming's head had a little headache, and then asked.
Zhu Shunwei said: "Respond to all changes with the same!" This is the conclusion of our senior management discussions......"
In his narrative, the same is not completely the same, but in terms of content output, it becomes more crazy.
For example, a relatively high-quality short video will get five percent more recommendations.
It may be that many people don't understand the concept of 5% very well, but for insiders, the extra part may even change a lot.
Music, news, funny, entertainment, etc., this is a label that Douyin has been posted by many netizens.
At the same time, Zhu Shunwei also said that in the past half a month, the company has also signed several top Internet celebrities, and the short videos they have recently shot have also become popular models, and the drainage effect is very good.
Food, travel, movies, etc. are also very important elements, and what users like, what kind of videos will be made for users.
There is still a long way to go on the road to diversity, but it must start now.
There are also online and offline promotional activities, as well as the New Year's Eve concert mentioned by Zhao Zijin.
Although Douyin has been established for less than a year, there are currently many third- and fourth-tier stars, as well as a small number of first- and second-tier stars, and there is no problem at all in holding a New Year's Eve concert......
It can be said that Douyin is an all-round output this time, and the dimensionality reduction blow to all registered users can definitely attract users and form habits.
"Okay, that's it!"
After listening, Su Ming nodded and continued:
"I rarely interfere in the operation, as long as the general direction is not wrong, we can move to a higher position step by step.....
All of you here are the heroes of the company, the company is stronger and bigger, you are all a part of it, I won't say much about the extra nonsense......
I have asked my assistant team to discuss the equity incentive plan with Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Cheng, and I believe that a specific plan will come out soon.....
Of course, in addition to these, there will be no shortage of cash prizes.
The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, not to mention that you all know that I am not short of money, so you work hard, and a bright future awaits you......"
Zhu Shunwei, Zhao Zijin and Cheng Li, before and after the establishment of Douyin, Su Ming gave them some shares.
Although they are not many, they are also real shareholders, and they are also the management of the company, and the equity incentive plan should also communicate with them.
After all, Su Ming himself is not a dictatorship, and he doesn't even bother to care about these things.
In addition to the three of them, Wu Heqiu, Zhang Jianbin and others have no shares, so they can only wait for the equity incentive plan to come out, and each of them will win this part of the shares according to their own merits.
Start-up companies are like this, there will be many lucky ones, but companies like Douyin are very few.
After finishing Douyin's inspection, Su Ming turned around and went upstairs.
Upstairs is Happy Capital, as soon as he came up, he was warmly welcomed by everyone, and the employees counted one by one, with excited smiles on their faces.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Duan Anliang, Liu Jun and others all came to the door to welcome Su Ming together, and the latter asked with a surprised face.
"Boss, they're happy!"
Lao Duan replied with a grin, Su Ming glared at the other party, nonsense, he is not blind, can't he see it?
"Boss, let's go, let's go to the office!"
When a few of them arrived in the office, many employees in the office area gradually quieted down under the suppression of the heads of various departments.
In the office, Su Ming finally understood why these people were so excited.
Because of the secret operation of long crude oil last time, Happy Capital has obtained the largest profit since the establishment of the company, and even new employees who have just joined the company have been rewarded with tens of thousands of yuan, not to mention old employees.
It can be said that the example of getting rich overnight has been perfectly reflected in the old employees, resulting in many employees in charge of logistics, front desk, risk control and other departments have applied with their direct leaders to join the front-line traders.
In fact, the wages of their non-front-line employees such as logistics are not low, especially this time, the performance of these employees is also off the charts.
But no matter how explosive the table is, there is still no way to compare with those traders.
After all, newly recruited traders can get tens of thousands of yuan in salary, and their logistics are thousands of dollars less than these new recruits.
People, don't suffer from widowhood but from inequality!
Therefore, these logistics employees with an unbalanced mentality are all scrambling to be the first and want to transfer to the front line.
This matter is not a big deal, but the demands of the employees also need to be appeased and resolved.
But it can't be without logistics, such as the risk control department, which can't be canceled at all, after all, they still have to keep an eye on the traders.
So these department heads found Duan Anliang, who had no choice but to hold a meeting with several senior executives, and then readjusted the performance plan.
As soon as everyone looked at the performance plan, it was okay, and this calmed down the incident.
It is precisely because of this that the cohesion of the company has never been higher, and everyone wants to make money and the boss to do such a secret operation again.
Speaking of this, Duan Anliang also complained about one thing, uh, in fact, it is not a complaint, it should be said that it is Versailles.
This secret operation of long oil, needless to say those old employees, even those employees who have joined the company for about half a year have also bought houses.
After having a house, they usually flirt with sister paper everywhere, and there are a lot of beautiful girl papers in the Douyin company downstairs, so they drive Ferrari and other sports cars every day to tease.
Then Duan Anliang was also complained by the supervisor downstairs, because this caused many girls in their company to be unable to work with peace of mind.
Su Ming heard Lao Duan say this, his face was full of black lines, "Won't you make a rule?" Still let them make trouble? ”
"Boss, we can't control their behavior after work!" Lao Duan was a little aggrieved, and Su Ming glared and said:
"Let them not drive any Ferrari to work, at most they can only drive a family car of about a few hundred thousand, and if they don't comply, then they will be punished for working overtime every day for these single dogs.....
Okay, let's talk about what's next! ”
Speaking of this, everyone sat up.
Before Su Ming's news came back from the beautiful country, Wall Street's Gaosheng Investment Bank had noticed Happy Capital, which was a red flag.
Although the domestic side is quite safe, it is not far from being exposed.
On the side of the Beautiful Country branch, Mai Lixin has already begun to act, and Zhou Qiulu has also joined the Little Bee Capital.
Therefore, the domestic side must also act quickly to try to cripple Michael, who won highly.
Although this goal is difficult, it is a matter of people.
The world of capital is unpredictable and unpredictable, and even super predators will inevitably be targeted.
In the end, one side will lose.
The blue whale of the sea is indeed a giant, but there are also times when the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs, and it is not uncommon for tiger sharks to attack whales.
Therefore, Su Ming also plans to be a whale hunter.
Gao Sheng is too behemoth, he can't deal with it, but the other party is Michael, he thinks it's still very possible.
Mao Zu once said that strategically despise the enemy and tactically attach importance to the enemy.
Therefore, as long as you use the right method, coordinate up and down, and overturn your opponent, it is just a matter of getting your hands dirty.
"But boss, wouldn't it be a bit too risky to short gold? Historically, gold's upward momentum has weakened in the last few months....."
Regarding Liu Jun's question, Su Ming shook his head and said:
"False and real, that is, to make the other party see clearly, this is profitable.... In the face of a behemoth like Gao Sheng, especially Michael is also the boss of the futures business department.
Wouldn't a financial giant know the price trend of gold better than those of us who are newbies?
The news that we inadvertently spread is to short gold, but in Michael's view, we have taken precautions, short is just fake news, but in fact it is long.....
Michael is a cautious person, and caution also means suspiciousness, and looking at his past record, the suspicious personality has been reflected in the data.
So what we have to do is to cover up our own true purpose and make it difficult for the other party to start.
Secondly, the market for gold is very large, we ended up making money, and it was just incidental to get rid of Michael, so don't put the cart before the horse.....
Don't always be frightened by Gao Sheng's name, the other party is a bluffing thing at best, in the capital market, the back waves shoot the front waves..."
After he finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized, but there was some disbelief in their hearts.
Why?
Because Michael, who wins highly, is not a stupid person, can the rising stars of Happy Capital really pull the other party down?
Even Liu Jun didn't have much confidence, let alone others.
She has spent some time on Wall Street and knows very well that there is no fluke in anyone's success.
What's more, Michael has very few defeats.
Speaking of gold, prices have been falling since October, but the market sentiment is generally bullish on gold again, why?
Because as the rainy season ends, and the peak of the Three Kingdoms wedding season lasts from October to December, the gold buying wave will gradually become frenzied.
It's no secret that demand from the three countries is crucial for gold, and this year's rainy season has given investors a glimpse that demand from the three countries will start to go strong.
The bears, on the other hand, are looking for profits, and in such a market outlook, the bears will cover and the price may become confusing again.
Happy Capital has also joined the shorts, can it really be profitable?
Will Michael, who is highly victorious, really join the bulls and intercept Happy Capital?
I'm afraid it will be difficult, because it means investing a lot of money, and it will be on the opposite side of other bears.
This undoubtedly adds to the difficulty, almost hellish level of difficulty, could Michael be so stupid?
