Fan Ming, deputy director of Yike, just held a meeting and basically fired himself from Yike.
He was at a loss and didn't quite understand why Mr. Fang wanted to incubate projects outside the company and directly carry out innovation based on "Easy". Isn't this okay?
Although "Easy" is only second-tier in today's video brands, it is still considered second-tier, and this is because the company has not made much effort in the past... If it is willing to invest resources, not to mention being first, the brand can be upgraded to a higher level.
, it’s no problem anyway.
However, with many questions in his heart, Fan Minggang was still keenly aware of a huge opportunity appearing in front of him.
Mr. Fang named him, Yike came up with someone, and resources will be invested in the future... This kind of treatment is like Wei Zhe's dada, or Lei Jun's rice dumplings!
If I could really complete the project, wouldn’t it take off in the future?
From a deputy director of a department to a feudal official, these are two completely different concepts!
Fan Minggang, who was confused and surprised, only invited the director and boss after returning to the office, and then remained silent. What was going over and over in his mind was Mr. Fang's attitude at the meeting.
Although he has obtained the authority to select people from the company, this authority is only an invitation and not a compulsion. Fan Minggang can put forward many conditions such as President Fang's optimism, investment of funds, investment of resources, etc. to persuade colleagues in the group... But, in the final analysis,
This still means leaving the well-developed Yike and starting from scratch.
How is it outside? How is the new track? Can it really be disruptive?
Once the project fails outside, can I still return to Yike?
Even if you can return to Yike, will your original position have been taken by other colleagues?
Fan Minggang spent the whole afternoon thinking about the construction of new projects and the future of the industry, and also began to try to change into the position of an entrepreneur.
When he got home in the evening, he turned off his phone after answering a few calls from colleagues asking about it, and continued to think about the opportunities in front of him today.
The discussion in the office reappeared before my eyes, but the most impressive thing was Mr. Fang’s eyes.
Fan Minggang was very sure that he gained Mr. Fang's approval when he said "subversion", "fragmentation" and "counting in seconds". Perhaps, it was also Fang who dared to raise objections despite the judgment of the group's senior management.
Always applauded.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, as he was about to go to sleep, Fan Minggang suddenly began to think about a new question. What should the name of the project be?
When Fan Minggang opened his eyes again in the morning, the question of his name still had not been answered. After receiving a notice from the secretary of the President's Office on the way to work, he decided to ask the big BOSS directly when they met.
At eleven o'clock in the morning on April 19, news about the new project in the Yishi department had spread, and the deputy director received a lot of complicated looks.
Didn’t you agree to increase the attention of your own department? Why did you just go out and start a business?
"Director Fan, please change the time. Mr. Fang has something to do at the moment. Can we have dinner and chat together at 12 o'clock? Is that okay?" Liu Zonghong, the chief secretary of the President's Office, personally came to the Yishi department to inform, which once again surprised many people.
.
"Okay, okay, I have no problem." Fan Minggang replied immediately.
"Well, if you have any needs for the new project, you can tell me directly. If I can help coordinate it, I will help coordinate it." Liu Zonghong said, "In addition, you'd better write another project book and outline your ideas in a complete way.
, Mr. Fang doesn’t need it for now, but he will ask for it later. Don’t feel pressured. Since you are asked to do it, we will discuss together which ideas can be done and which ones may not be right. This will help improve the project.
Progressive process.”
Fan Minggang was very grateful for the advice from the BOSS secretary, and added the secretary's confidence.
After the chief secretary left, he heard the unintelligible voice of the boss, the director Liang Jiancong.
"Director Fan, you are now prosperous. Don't forget your brother in the future."
Fan Minggang immediately sent out a second invitation: "Boss, let's go outside and work together. Mr. Fang is really optimistic about the development of mobile short videos."
Liang Jiancong was silent for a moment and said tactfully: "I still have a lot of work on Yishi that I haven't finished yet. Wait, I'll wait."
He is the boss of the department in Yike. If he goes outside, he will probably be under his original subordinates. This is somewhat unacceptable.
"Okay, I have news here and I will tell you as soon as possible." Fan Minggang said.
Liang Jiancong patted his subordinate on the shoulder: "Work hard and you will have a bright future."
Fan Ming had just accepted this encouragement, and soon he heard similar words while having lunch with the big boss. However, this time it was President Fang who described it to President Xiong of IDG and President Wang of Shenxin Technology.
"The development of short videos has a bright future, and this will definitely be a disruption."
"Fan Minggang is very keen on this trend, which is worth appreciating."
"This new project will be prepared for a period of time. It will wait for the 4G market to develop again. At that time, it will focus on accessing the traffic resources of Yike and Yixin. It is worth your money. Don't say that I didn't think of you when I encountered good things."
There were four people in total at lunch: Fang Zhuo, the head of Yike, Xiong Xiaoge, president of IDG, Wang Fengyi, general manager of Shenxin Science and Technology, and Fan Minggang, deputy director of Yishi.
This was the first time that Fan Minggang met the two rumored "left bears and right dogs" in person, and he thought they were quite charming. Mr. Fang actually paved the way for the new project in person. This move once again refreshed his understanding of short videos.
Know.
Xiong Xiaoge said cheerfully: "Okay, Mr. Fang, you are really kind. The money to buy the AutoNavi shares here has not been paid out yet, but the other side immediately made up a new name to get the money back.
, how come you never see us having money in our account?"
"Old Xiong, if we hadn't been friends for many years, and I would have questioned you like this, I would have turned around and found someone else." Fang Zhuo said angrily.
"Okay, okay, let me just say one thing, since you are so optimistic about subversion and whatnot, why doesn't Yike do it himself? Why choose someone to do it outside? This deputy director Fan Minggang..." Xiong Xiaoge said first
He smiled apologetically at Fan Minggang, and then continued, "Don't blame me for speaking bluntly. I have never heard of his name before. Yike is really full of talents. If you pull out one person, I will have to pay for it."
"Even though Yike is full of talents, it is still rare to realize that short videos will have a big impact on the mobile terminal at this time." Fang Zhuo said with great sincerity, "For this and Fan Minggang's acumen, I am willing to
Give him a chance to try."
When he said this, he turned to look at Fan Minggang and said seriously: "Fan Minggang, this opportunity is rare. You must cherish it. You must strive for perfection during the project preparation period. Otherwise, the project will not achieve the expected results after it is launched. I am not sure about my
How long can patience last?”
Because of his keenness on industry trends, his identity as one of Yike's own, and his experience and resume in the video industry, Fang Zhuo named Fan Minggang to incubate projects after leaving Yike.
But this does not mean that the project will be out of control. On the contrary, once a promising project fails to meet expectations, the person in charge will be quickly replaced.
Fan Minggang saw the seriousness in Mr. Fang's eyes, and his heart trembled. The excitement that had emerged from yesterday to today was quickly shattered, and he nodded seriously.
Whether he wants to seal the border or not, he is still just a deputy director of the department, and he is still a potential entrepreneur who is being questioned.
"You are acting in front of me, Mr. Fang, you haven't answered my question directly yet." Xiong Xiaoge said half-jokingly.
Since short videos have a future, Yike has the funds, resources, and ability to do it, so there is no need to spend so much money.
"The changes brought about by the development of mobile smart terminals and 4G are not only the domestic market, this will be a big cake." Fang Zhuo said lightly, "Because of the progress in the ice core manufacturing process, it is not ruled out that Yike and
The ice core will face a big storm, and our attention and energy will be focused on meeting the challenge."
These words were very straightforward, especially for Xiong Xiaoge, who was familiar with ice cores. He heard that Mr. Fang had a rather pessimistic expectation, which meant that Mr. Fang believed that there would be a storm that would have a particularly large impact.
The semiconductor industry has always been sensitive, but how big a stir can it cause?
Xiong Xiaoge was a little doubtful for a moment, but when he saw Mr. Fang's expression, he still... still chose to believe Mr. Fang. Mr. Fang was not all scheming, and he also had moments of kindness.
Or, according to Mr. Fang's own expectations, he had to put the new project in a relatively independent and safe development environment with good intentions.
In this case, according to the judgment of the general manager, the new short video project is suitable for the global market. Isn't this a new media platform?
Xiong Xiaoge thought in his mind and quickly summarized many advantages for the new project. Mr. Fang can not only transfer people from Yike, but also from Weibo. They are very experienced in media platforms.
"Mr. Fang, if you talk about this, then I, Old Xiong, can't do it without paying for it." Xiong Xiaoge quickly changed his attitude and said with a smile, "If there is any trouble in Yike, as friends, I have to help
You solve problems."
Fang Zhuo said "Yeah", Lao Xiong is such a person.
Wang Fengyi, who had been listening next to him, suddenly said: "Mr. Fang, I am the same way."
Mr. Xiong has already asked the question and got the answer, so let’s keep it the same.
Xiong Xiaoge glared at Wang Fengyi angrily.
"The new project will also have the injection of international capital. I hope it will bring about a real subversion and innovation." Fang Zhuoyan said concisely and comprehensively.
Xiong Xiaoge and Wang Fengyi both nodded, understanding what Mr. Fang didn't say. IDG and Shenxin Science and Technology Innovation Association were one of the guarantees of control, and maybe those international capitals were also.
After all, Yike is not short of money now, and Mr. Fang is really not short of people.
At this time, Wang Fengyi suddenly said: "What is the name of the new project?"
Fang Zhuo looked at Fan Minggang.
"Mr. Fang, I haven't thought about it yet. Originally we thought we could use 'Easy' for innovation, but now..." Fan Minggang didn't say the second half of the sentence. Although he didn't quite understand what the boss's expectations were for the storm,
But it is clear that Mr. Fang does not want to make the subject too easy, so it may not be appropriate to start with the word "easy".
"Well, then think about it carefully and see if there is anything catchy." Fang Zhuo hesitated, "If not, just call it Douyin. As long as users can quickly accept it."
He doesn't want to worry about the name, nor will he invest too much energy in new projects. He believes that with the innate conditions such as funds, resources, traffic, new forms, etc., the new projects will not be too bad.
The three people at the dinner table tasted the name mentioned below at the same time. Has this been chosen?
After lunch, Fang Zhuo was still busy with work. Xiong Xiaoge and Wang Fengyi were relatively free. In addition to discussing new projects this time, the other thing they came over to discuss was the equity acquisition of Amap.
Although I had long believed that AutoNavi would be acquired by Yike, AutoNavi really failed to go public, which made Xiong Xiaoge still a little regretful. IDG's investment performance would be one less case of successful listing.
"Director Fan, do your best, Mr. Fang seems to be really optimistic about the new track." Before leaving, Xiong Xiaoge expressed her expectations to the deputy director of Yishi.
Fan Minggang said again: "Yes, we all believe that the mobile Internet will bring a lot of disruption."
Xiong Xiaoge smiled and said: "The industry has been disrupted, but this time is not a subversion for you personally. Seize the opportunity, Director Fan."
Fan Minggang just shook hands with "Zuo Xiong" and once again felt that he was standing at the crossroads of destiny, with opportunities right in front of him.
He calmed himself down and began to think about specific project construction and staffing.
However, when I started working in the afternoon, the 22nd floor of Yishi was quickly swept by the new news circulating. In other words, not only Yike, but also those who paid attention to the patent litigation were swept by the news about Apple.
——Apple announced that it would end its cooperation with Qualcomm on modem chips and would not renew the contract.
Break your face!
Completely torn apart!
Public opinion has denounced the suspension of patent fees, and Apple is actually on the verge of breaking up with Qualcomm. However, according to the usual situation in the industry, both parties will still mediate around reconciliation.
After all, Apple has been using Qualcomm's baseband chips.
This time, Apple decisively announced its abandonment of Qualcomm's baseband chips... which immediately detonated Qualcomm's stock price, causing it to plummet 7%!
Not long ago, Qualcomm just won the first round of a series of lawsuits, defeating Yike.
I didn't expect that the second round would happen so quickly, and I would lose an important customer directly.
“What is Qualcomm doing?”
"What is Jacob doing?"
The unstoppable turmoil has caused many people to question. If Qualcomm continues to fight like this, it will probably only suffer a miserable victory, and Intel is eyeing the side...
Qualcomm's stock price plummeted due to the impact of the Apple news.
Fortunately, however, just before the Nasdaq closed, funds entered the market, helping to stop Qualcomm's downward trend and allowing it to slightly recover its losses.
This makes Jacob, the head of Qualcomm, feel a lot better. There are still people who can realize the true value of Qualcomm!
Although Qualcomm is in trouble, it is definitely underestimated! ()
