"We will conduct a half-year performance summary in a few days. We will review all SPs in the city and rank them in the top five. This can be considered an encouragement."
"So I won first place?"
"Although 99's performance is amazing, it is only a local network after all, and its size is limited. But I can reveal that you are among the top three."
"Is this worthy of congratulations?"
"Tsk! What you said is a bit pretentious. You are ranked in the top three and you are still aggrieved?"
"You're kidding, don't worry, I'll definitely be there!"
Yao Yuan hung up the phone and shrugged. He still wanted to be obscene and develop, and this time he must have been exposed.
The local network can only handle services for users in this province.
The nationwide network does not mean that it can really spread across the country, because the cost is limited and the market is also different. The nationwide network here refers to cross-provincial operations and business in areas with better markets.
The capital is naturally an important town, and there are hundreds of sp companies all over the place.
…
A few days later, the city mobile company.
It's just a half-year summary, and it's relatively simple. In their own conference rooms, each SP sends a representative to come over and have a chat, either encouragement or admonishment.
The elder would not come to a meeting of this level, so Yao Yuan did not see Ding Lei, Xiao Ma, Zhang Chaoyang and others.
He found his name tag and sat down.
People came one after another, but he didn't recognize any of them. Several leaders from the city mobile were present, including Chen Guosheng. This guy's face became increasingly red, with a corrupt belly, and he made eye contact with Yao Yuan, and nodded slightly.
.
Point it out!
Yao Yuan cursed in his heart, saying that the money he gave to Chen Guosheng could even cover the oiran!
When everyone arrived, a few reporters came, and there was a host on the stage. Balabala made some opening remarks, probably predicting that by the end of this year, the number of SPs nationwide would increase to 800.
In a prosperous age, millions of water workers depended on their food and clothing!
Then there are several leading SPs whose monthly income has reached tens of millions. In addition to NetEase, Penguin, and TOM, there are also less familiar ones such as Meitong Online and Xunlong Technology, etc.
Yao Yuan had a press release in his hand and took a look at the introduction of Xunlong Technology. It was a text messaging game maker and was the first in the country to make text message games.
"We evaluated nearly a hundred SPs based on business types, monthly business volume, net added users, awareness of technological innovation, etc., and the one that ranked first overall was..."
“NetEase!”
There was a roar of applause, and the NetEase representative went up to receive the certificate and deliver a speech.
Yao Yuan thought he was third, but the host said: "Unlike the first place, this is a local Internet SP. It has only been established for more than half a year, but it is very innovative, and its business volume and net user increase are among the best..."
Then he said the name: "99 Network Technology Company!"
"Wow!"
Everyone was surprised, and the applause also brought a lot of inquiry.
During this period, mobile phones in various provinces are conducting performance reviews. The first one is either NetEase or Penguin, followed by national networks. It would be good if local networks can enter the top ten.
As a result, this 99 company, which doesn’t sound very serious, actually reached second place!
"99 Company, let's start a love dating club!"
"I know this. There is also a voice chat service."
"Oh, he is the boss of Yuliao!"
When it comes to chatting, who among the spies in Beijing doesn’t know about it? It’s been crazy popular in the past few months. If it weren’t for limited human resources, it could snatch up half of the male users.
At this moment, everyone watched as a very young man stood up, went to the front to receive the certificate, said a few polite words like an old man, and then swayed down.
"..."
Yao Yuan didn't need to look to feel the curious eyes staring at his face. He had been doing it by himself behind closed doors. This was the first time he had appeared in front of his peers.
The third one is Penguin, and the fourth one is TOM, who also went through the process.
The more this is the case, the more amazing and awesome everyone is about 99!
Yao Yuanmao was sitting on his seat, touching the certificate in disgust, but in fact he was quite happy. Although he dared to guarantee the ticket, although it had something to do with bribing Chen Guosheng, he also had real confidence.
Nearly a hundred SPs gathered in Beijing and tried their best to develop users, but they couldn't do 99.
I always feel that the local network is worse than the national network. In fact, it is not the case. The most advantage is to do it locally. It depends on whether you can do it... Of course, I have cultivated the local network to the limit. When it reaches the bottleneck, it must be upgraded.
Yao Yuan came back and continued fishing. The chatter from above was endless, so he simply silenced his cell phone and secretly played with Snake.
It lasted about three hours. After one leader finished speaking, another leader added, another leader finished adding, and another leader added a few more words. It was endless.
There are a bunch of management members who earn over 10,000 yuan a month, and even small bosses who earn 100,000 yuan a month. They are all scolding in their hearts, but on the surface they are as well-behaved as grandchildren.
There is no way, who makes China Mobile the father!
After finally finishing driving, Yao Yuan felt a pain in his buttocks from sitting down. Just as he was about to leave in a daze, he was suddenly stopped by a man in his thirties, who said with a smile: "Mr. Yao!"
"Who are you?"
"Zhao Xiaochen, nice to meet you!"
Yao Yuan took the other party's business card and quickly glanced at it. He was in charge of the SP business at Sina.
He was a little confused and shook hands: "Hello, hello, it's our first time meeting you. What advice can you give me?"
"I don't take it as advice. I just see that Mr. Yao is young and promising, and has an extraordinary appearance, so I took the liberty to come over and say hello."
I love hearing this!
If others give him three points, he will give three points in return. Yao Yuan is generous, and if you give him three points, he will blow you to the sky.
So the two of them stood and chatted for a while, both of them were enthusiastic and polite. Zhao Xiaochen didn't express any intention, as if he really came to say hello, and then left.
"Huh? What does this person do?"
Yao Yuan touched his chin, something wasn't right.
………………
Sina headquarters, conference room.
Zhao Xiaochen, who took the initiative to greet Yao Yuan, stood in front and explained the situation to a group of people.
"As of June 30, we had a loss of US$7.9 million. NetEase and Sohu both stated net profits in their financial reports, but we could only write net revenue.
In terms of scale, Sina is the number one news portal, but our revenue method is still relying on advertising, and we pay very little attention to the SMS business, which is the fastest growing and most profitable!"
Zhao Xiaochen stressed three times and continued: "Only a few million dollars per month, not only far behind NetEase, but even TOM has caught up and is ahead of us.
What's more important is the stock price!
NetEase and Sohu have beautiful financial reports. Their SMS business is very stable and will continue to grow in the third and fourth quarters. By the end of the year, they will come up with more beautiful and convincing financial reports that are enough to raise the stock price!
And we are already falling behind..."
When the stock price was mentioned, the audience became more concerned.
Since the Internet bubble, the stock prices of the three major portals have plummeted and are firmly at the bottom. Seeing that the dawn is ahead and the situation is improving, but itself is lagging behind, how can Sina sit still?
"Acquisition!"
“Strengthen SMS business!”
Zhao Xiaochen stated the company's strategy concisely and comprehensively, and listed several goals on the big screen.
The first one is Xunlong Technology.
The third one is 99.
"Guangzhou Xunlong currently has 160 employees and 2 million paying users. Its business covers 20 provinces and occupies a high share in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other places with large market space.
They were the first in the country to make SMS games. They launched "Mobile Monopoly" in Guangdong last year. They currently have several branded games and their monthly revenue exceeds 10 million..."
I introduced the Velociraptor, then introduced the second one, followed by 99.
"Well……"
Zhao Xiaochen thought about it for a while, but he always felt that this company was not serious.
