Chapter 51: Killing Insects in Spring
"Does our company need to rely on product placement to increase revenue?"
"Our company, is there a shortage of this money?"
"Mess with my plan, you guys are adding to the snake!"
......
Chen Weidong was really angry, he didn't expect his subordinates to be so bold, how many users were there, and they floated?
Do you really think that instant messaging is very technical, and any few programmers on the mainland can make exactly the same thing together!
In this era, as long as you don't pay attention, you will be surpassed by others, squeezed out of the market, and thus lose the opportunity to become a giant forever, even if you use a hundred times a thousand times the capital in the future and smash it with money! It's hard to get these lost users back!
In the conference room, everyone was silent, it was the first time they had seen the boss get so angry.
In the past, the company was not without setbacks, but the boss always smiled and comforted them and reassured them.
This makes many people feel in their hearts that this boss from the mainland is really a humble gentleman with a good temper.
"The director of the planning department, as well as Song Yunjiang, you two will be transferred to the security department as security guards for a month!"
"As for your work, it's up to the deputy for the time being." Chen Weidong hated that iron could not become steel and said, we must teach them a lesson, otherwise I don't know what kind of moth will come up in the future.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, I have no opinion." Song Yunjiang replied in a low voice, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and felt much better in his heart.
His ability is actually not outstanding, and to be able to sit in this position, in addition to the identity of the company's veteran, it can be said that it all depends on Chen Weidong's strong support.
The company's current development speed is too fast, and there are many outstanding talents entering the company every day, among which there are naturally some outstanding abilities, with his ability, it is difficult to grasp.
"Instant messaging is the core of our computer company, and no advertising is allowed, now or in the future!" Chen Weidong stood up and emphasized again.
Even in a previous life, Penguin was very cautious in this regard, and the only advertisement was just Penguin News.
"Mr. Chen, I have no opinion on you transferring me to be a security officer, but the company's current profit point is still too weak, and advertising revenue accounts for a large part of the company's revenue." The director of the planning department is still a little unwilling, and argues with reason.
The company has been in a loss-making state before, and recently because of the addition of advertisers, it has successfully turned a profit, although the net profit is not much, but it is also a major improvement.
"Don't you use the company's software? It's unclear to you how much of an impact ads have on the user's experience? Chen Weidong didn't expect that when it came to this, there were still people who did not give up on the profits of advertising.
The sesame seeds that I earn now are purely earned by sacrificing user experience.
Only he knows that instant messaging is very fragile before user stickiness is cultivated, and any abrupt change may lead to the loss of users, and they choose other similar software with a better experience.
"Recently, there has been news from the outside world that the company is preparing to go public...... Li Xier leaned into Chen Weidong's ear and said with a sigh of relief.
Good guys, I see.
The interests are moving, and listing requires a certain amount of performance, and if the company is listed, the treatment of these executives will also rise.
But many people don't know that if the company wants to go public, there are many ways, and there is no need to look at the financial report at all.
Chen Weidong's gaze swept over the faces of these people, some were happy, some frowned, and some looked indifferent.
He said coldly: "I know that there is gossip outside, saying that our company is going to go public, but I tell you, it's pure rumors!" ”
If the listing is just to make money, he would rather the company never go public, otherwise what is the difference between it and those Internet companies that speculate on concepts and play with capital in later generations.
Chen Weidong's words were like a heavy hammer, giving a fatal blow to the people in the conference room.
The planning director, who had just "made a suggestion", said with some unconvinced: "Is there any way that Mr. Chen can improve the company's finances?" ”
He has not been in the company for a long time, and now he sees Chen Weidong denying all his efforts, and a nameless fire suddenly rises in his heart.
"Isn't that what I should ask you? If you have to figure out how to do everything, then what do you people do! The third uncle slapped the table directly, stood up and scolded angrily.
It's been a long time since I've been to the company, and these people have forgotten who is in charge of the company!
"Since the general manager thinks that the company does not need to make a profit, then I want to resign!"
The face of the head of the planning department turned red, and the flickering eyes of the colleagues around him made him even more embarrassed, and he directly asked to resign in a fit of anger.
In his opinion, Chen Weidong is just a lucky rich second generation, he only comes to the company a few times a year, so young, can he understand the market better than him? A layman commands an insider!
The third uncle smiled, raised his hand directly and said, "Personnel Department, arrange the resignation procedures for this former colleague." ”
"You! The planning director pointed at the third uncle, stammering and speechless, he didn't expect that he would be fired directly, and the other party didn't have any retention at all.
dismissed a director of the planning department on the spot, and the third uncle's resolute means calmed everyone.
The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became extremely depressing, and everyone was trembling, not daring to say another word.
Seeing this, Chen Weidong had no choice but to speak: "This is the end of today's meeting, let's go back and think about how to increase the number of users, making a profit is not our company's current goal." ”
"Alright, adjourn!"
…
"Song Yunjiang stayed."
...
Chen Weidong didn't say a word, and after everyone left, he said to Song Yunjiang: "Old Song, I have always thought that as long as I continue to provide sufficient funds to the company, everyone has a rich material life, a better working environment, as long as I can give forward-looking instructions, our company's development can advance by leaps and bounds, but now it seems that if we want to become a real Internet giant, we have to do a lot!" ”
Song Yunjiang was ashamed and embarrassed, with tears in his eyes, and he was full of self-criticism. "Mr. Chen, it's me who is incompetent, I didn't manage the company well, I'm sorry for you! Fire me! ”
"What nonsense!" Chen Weidong patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "This is my responsibility, as the top leader of the company, I have come to the company too few times, and it is my dereliction of duty!" ”
"The director of the planning department, the company recently dug it up, I read the advertisement on CC, it's very rogue software style.。
"Yes, Mr. Chen, he jumped ship from the mainland, Yinshan Company." Song Yunjiang wiped his tears and said in a low voice.
