TOT search engine is intensifying its research and development.
Nowadays, the main products of TAT Network Company are only TAT instant chat program and TAT mailbox.
After Su Yehao tried to integrate one-on-one, group chat, and personal space functions, initial results have been achieved. Many users who originally used ICQ and AOL chat rooms began to fall in love with the free and easy-to-use program.
Spend more than 10 million, and in exchange for more than 8,000 users in Hong Kong City, there are still 3,000 or 4,000 in surrounding areas, including casinos, treasure islands, Singapore, etc., and the total number of users has exceeded 10,000.
As for the mainland, because there are no competitors, the development speed is faster. There are about 4,000 programs in the mainland that are active at least once a week.
During the promotion period in the mainland, Yinhai, which is controlled by Su Yehao, helped a lot, otherwise the promotion process would not be so fast. The early stage of accumulating reputation was the most difficult. It had been laid in Hong Kong City for more than two months before it was launched.
Let’s have a small burst period.
The company is gradually getting on the right track.
There are R&D centers in three areas: Hong Kong City, Pengcheng and Silicon Valley. The number of employees has officially exceeded 150. There are also more than 100 "outsourced" temporary employees responsible for publicity and advocacy in major forums.
The TAT instant chat program is even innovative. A group of employees leave messages to criticize each other, thereby constantly upvoting posts, attracting the attention of passers-by and arousing their curiosity.
A large number of trolls are active in major forums in Hong Kong, and the same is true on the mainland.
As an employee of the marketing team, Aqiang, a glasses boy, just came to work on January 4th this year. He received the task of leading people to form an "Internet troll army". The headquarters was set in Pengcheng and he opened a regular advertising company.
, no one is currently checking these, as long as you don’t step on the line, you can play whatever you want.
Seeing that advertising through forums is so easy to use and attracting new users continuously, Su Yehao will naturally not miss the opportunity to promote his products.
As the company has more and more employees, the total monthly salary quickly exceeds HK$2 million.
In other words, although Su Yehao personally does not spend much money, the company is constantly sucking blood. Currently, it has been losing money and making money, and there is no profit channel.
No wonder that after reaching a certain bottleneck period, the founders of Internet companies are always in a hurry to attract investment. This industry is different from other businesses. Before a stable profit point is found, it is too expensive...
Just arrived at the office.
After Su Yehao briefly understood the situation, he asked his assistant Zhuang Wei to help call John Zhou.
After he came over, Su Yehao got straight to the point and told him: "New Year and new atmosphere, I want you to make a move, and leave the position of product director to someone else."
Hearing these words, the smile on John Zhou's face suddenly froze, and he was shocked in his heart. He quickly thought about what he had done wrong recently... After thinking about it, it was possible that he didn't call and say a few greetings on New Year's Day, and suddenly lost his temper.
Favor?
Seeing his ugly face, Su Yehao quickly added:
"Don't get me wrong, it's not going down, it's going up. I plan to hand over each project to a dedicated person and finely divide the research and development team. You are not young, and you have never been exposed to some things, but I found that you are good at interpersonal relationships.
, you handled it very well, so I want you to be the chief operating officer of the entire company, specializing in coordinating and handling troublesome issues between various departments, including the current R&D department."
According to the custom in Silicon Valley, under the board of directors, it is the chief executive officer (CEO) and chief operating officer (COO) who take the lead.
The CEO is fully responsible for the company's management and is the company's top manager, while the COO is fully responsible for the company's market operations and management and is the second-in-command.
At TAT, titles such as shareholder, founder, CEO, etc. were all taken away by Su Yehao, and the most important position left was COO.
In just one minute, John Zhou felt as if he had been on an exciting roller coaster, and he was overjoyed.
Originally, as the company's system gradually improved and a new group of very capable management was recruited, John Zhou was still worried that his importance would be replaced by others at some point.
Now it seems that Su Yehao still misses the old relationship very much and has not done anything to kill the donkey.
How could John Zhou be unhappy? He was smiling and thanked him repeatedly.
Su Ye interrupted him and said cheerfully: "Don't be too happy now. The probation period is half a year, and the salary will not be adjusted until then. Last time I went to Silicon Valley, I just gave you a salary increase. At present, the entire company has only a few Yankee technicians.
Daniel, you have the highest salary, but please rest assured that once the company produces results, you will not be less than a cent."
Sitting at his desk, Su Yehao enjoyed the feeling of being the boss. He was in control of the power and felt happy.
The money he usually earns is enough, and John Zhou is quite satisfied. Compared with when he worked at the Microsoft headquarters in Seattle, the United States, his salary has increased instead of falling. Besides, except for housing, the living expenses in Hong Kong City are not as high as in Seattle. I think
After taking reasonable measures to avoid taxes, you will have more left over.
The most important thing is that when I was at Microsoft, I was just a low-level manager, but now I have become the second-in-command of the company. Although it is a little bit like a chicken head and a phoenix tail, it is still quite good.
The market value of Microsoft is nearly 200 billion US dollars, and the current valuation of TAT Networks is only about 50 million Hong Kong dollars. The gap is obvious, but John Zhou, who is in his forties, does feel that he has taken a step forward and stood on the top again.
A new peak in life.
The two things before TAT Network Company are nothing more than to continue to improve their products and further seize market share.
Everything that needs to be done is already being done. After chatting with John Zhou for a while, Su Yehao asked him to get busy first and ask someone to draft an announcement about the chief operating officer.
We also plan to implement a rank classification system, linking merit and working years directly with salary and benefits, and spread the news first to stabilize people's hearts.
In addition, job adjustment is also a key point.
As projects are subdivided, there will be many more middle management positions. The specific selection method needs to be discussed and considered.
Internal competition can easily lead to conflicts, and hiring external talents can discourage old employees. This is a critical moment for shaping corporate culture and office atmosphere, and Su Yehao does not want to go astray.

Sending John Zhou off.
Nong Qingying put his legs on his desk, found a comfortable position to lie down, and said with a smile: "I see you are getting more and more comfortable in arousing people. There have been a lot of changes in the past few months, and the company has become more formal."
.”
"The domineering president fell in love with you, isn't it a bit handsome?" Su Yehao boasted.
Nong Qingying smiled and made a soft noise, then asked: "Where is the website you developed, show me, what is it called?"
"Portal website, this is product positioning, not the name of my product. The internal code name is TVT. It's just a matter of collecting some common website addresses and posting them. It's not troublesome."
Hearing this name from Su Yehao's mouth, Nong Qingying was speechless for a while.
She asked: "The names you have chosen are all very distinctive. You don't plan to change them, right? TAT, TOT, TVT, they sound a bit confusing, but they are all the same."
Su Yehao thought about it seriously and said:
"It doesn't matter, TAT chat, TOT search, add two words after it, it is easy to distinguish. A discerning person will know at a glance that it is a family bucket developed by our company. While promoting one product, other products can also gain attention and strive to create
Develop a complete product ecological chain, and then I will lie down and count money all day long..."
