Cao Yanhua has officially arrived as the general manager of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment. He will shoulder the two major responsibilities of leading the capability building of the middle office of the headquarters and the operation and maintenance 71 assistant.
Just the day before, Liu Xiaohui had already set off for the capital.
So far, among the "older generation" managers of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, except Qi Yu who still stays at the headquarters, the rest have left one after another, which is really sad.
Zhang Shuo didn't think anything of it. This was a normal personnel change.
In the afternoon, he got the financial statements for November. Since Cao Yanhua had just arrived, after reading the statements, he held a senior management meeting.
At the headquarters, Jiang Yue was still attending the meeting, and Chen Xiaowan was in attendance.
Qingniao Interactive Entertainment has Cao Yanhua who just arrived, Qingcheng Retail has the duo of Du Qingqing and Pei Weiping, and Qinghe Technology only had Chief Operating Officer Zhao Mingchuan attending the meeting.
Senior brother Wang Yan is in charge of technology research and development. Unless it involves technology research and development, Zhao Mingchuan usually attends company management meetings.
It is indeed easier for those engaged in operations to reach higher management positions than those engaged in technology.
After everyone arrived, Zhang Shuo introduced with a smile: "Everyone must have known Mr. Pei, but this is the first time we have gathered together for a meeting. Mr. Cao has just arrived today, so we would like to welcome him."
After speaking, he took the lead in applauding.
Cao Yanhua stood up slightly and said hello to everyone.
When he decided to give up Marubi and choose Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, in addition to Zhang Shuo's rhetoric, there was another factor, which was that Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment was not fighting alone.
There are even more powerful holding companies above.
Unexpectedly, only half a day after arriving, I would have the opportunity to have a glimpse of the entire holding company.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhang Shuo started to get down to business. He praised Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment and said with a smile: "This month, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment won another beautiful battle."
In November, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment turned in a profit of 45 million yuan in a single month.
After a month of fermentation, the monetization potential of "Xiaoxiaole" and "Candy Crush Saga" has been discovered, and the revenue next month is even expected to double.
Become a veritable hematopoietic machine of Sprout Holdings.
Cao Yanhua had no expression on his face, but he was already feeling pressure in his heart, because this achievement was not his, but the performance of his predecessor Liu Xiaohui.
If you want to gain a firm foothold in Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, you must naturally show convincing performance.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public.
Even if he is a big shot in the industry, when he gets a new owner, everything will still depend on performance.
"Qingcheng Retail, well, it's not bad." Zhang Shuo also understood Cao Yanhua's embarrassment. He didn't talk more about Qingniao Interactive Entertainment and picked up the financial statements of Qingcheng Retail.
After hearing this, Du Qingqing and Pei Weiping's faces felt a little hot.
In the past month, Qingcheng Retail was still in a period of rapid business expansion. Although its stores had already been making profits, the overall situation was still a book loss.
Where can I use the word "not bad"?
Zhang Shuo's standards are of course not limited to financial statements. After Pei Weiping took office, he worked with Du Qingqing to reverse the chaotic management situation of Qingcheng Retail in a very short period of time.
This is something worthy of praise.
With the support of Zhang Shuo, Pei Weiping, who had just arrived, quickly established a firm foothold with his iron fist.
Keep the people below in good order.
In order to regain his respect, Pei Weiping took the opportunity to report the results he had just achieved: "Mr. Zhang, our acquisition negotiations with Runfeng Decoration are nearing completion, and the acquisition price is locked at 8.5 million."
Runfeng Decoration is a decoration company that has been cooperating with Qingcheng Retail.
Decoration companies are asset-light, and the most valuable thing is their decoration qualifications and long-term engineering team, especially master craftsmen such as carpenters, plumbers, and masonry workers.
Therefore, the purchase price will not be very expensive.
Even if Runfeng Decoration is a medium-sized decoration company with a second-level decoration qualification, the wholly-owned acquisition price does not exceed 10 million.
It is much cheaper than the original acquisition of Quwan Technology.
"Yes, after the acquisition is completed, remember to change the company name to Qingcheng Decoration. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qingcheng Retail, the holding company will not be directly involved in management."
Zhang Shuo fully delegated power.
Although the Runfeng Decoration brand is actually worth some money, especially in the eyes of some old customers, and even has a good reputation, changing the name is tantamount to completely erasing the potential value of the trademark.
But Zhang Shuo didn't care at all.
Because after the acquisition, the main business of Qingcheng Decoration comes from the parent company Qingcheng Retail, and it basically no longer needs to take orders from outside. Naturally, it does not matter about the old reputation.
"In terms of funding, do we need support from the holding company?" Zhang Shuo asked.
"Not needed yet."
The holding company has just injected 100 million in capital. Even if Qingcheng Retail burns money again, it will not be so squandered.
If we really want to talk about burning money, it has to be Qinghe Technology.
The “100 million coins” plan was an unexpected success. In just one month, Weixin gained a terrifying user increase of 35 million.
The consideration is 175 million in cash.
If you include other marketing expenditures to cooperate with the "100 million coins" plan, Qinghe Technology basically burned nearly 200 million in funds in one month.
In 2010, it was definitely a huge deal.
This has also indirectly boosted the popularity of Weixin and helped Weixin further break out of the industry. Many domestic users who are still using feature phones have also heard of Weixin's name.
After changing your mobile phone, there is a high probability that Weixin will be actively downloaded.
This paved the way for Weixin's next stage of user growth. Even if no large-scale marketing activities are carried out, the number of Weixin's users can steadily increase.
It is already considered a mature social product.
"The number of Weixin users is about to exceed the 40 million mark, which means that two out of every three smartphones in China have Weixin installed, and the market share reaches 66.7%." Zhao Mingchuan looked excited.
Such a high market share almost declares Weixin's dominance in this field.
"Don't be happy too early."
Zhang Shuo is not as optimistic as Zhao Mingchuan.
2010 is only the beginning of the explosion of the domestic smartphone market. The annual smartphone sales are expected to be around 30 million units, which is certainly an explosive growth compared to the previous year.
But looking at the global market, global smartphone sales in 2010 are expected to be 293 million units.
The domestic market is a bit underwhelming.
Precisely because the foreign market is large enough, Tenda was willing to spend heavily twice to win the exclusive overseas agency rights for three mobile games from Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.
As everyone knows, the domestic market will be the main flashpoint in the next few years.
This is called picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon.
As of the end of November, the number of smartphones in China is expected to be around 60 million units.
But who could have imagined that in the upcoming 2011 alone, domestic smartphone sales will reach a terrifying 96 million units, and the market share will more than increase by 1.5 times.
Therefore, rather than holding on to existing stocks, continuing to grab new users is the key to victory.
Otherwise, it is very likely that the boat will capsize.
Especially Xiaomi and Tenda are facing threats. Before the products of these two giants are launched, all Qinghe Technology can do is continue to burn money, expand its results, and continue to conquer cities and territories.
Can't stop for a moment.
In particular, Tenda, a difficult opponent, not only has rich experience in social networking, but also possesses the nuclear weapon icq. If you directly import icq friends, you can instantly close the gap in the number of users with Weixin.
Although Wei Xin is very prosperous now, life and death are actually just a matter of a thought.
"During the Spring Festival, Weixin will plan another large-scale marketing campaign to continue to increase Weixin's popularity, so we will base our plan on a marketing budget of 100 million." Zhang Shuo is very wealthy.
User growth is still secondary, the main thing is to make the "Weixin" brand deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Continue to consolidate the first-mover advantage.
"good."
Of course Zhao Mingchuan was happy, although he didn't quite understand where Zhang Shuo's sense of crisis came from.
