It’s the end of the year, and there are a lot of trivial matters in business.
Silicon Valley has begun to calculate bonuses. After thinking about it, Su Yehao decided to make some efforts and still pay bonuses to ordinary employees according to last year's standards.
This is mainly because although the global Internet market has fallen into a depression, it is actually just killing valuations and squeezing bubbles. The pattern of striding forward into the information age has not changed, and the growth momentum is still rapid. The total number of global Internet users
Approaching the 300 million mark.
The revenue and number of active users of Yanmoji Group and Google have both achieved considerable growth this year, including the game business, the international version of Weibo News microblog, and other venture capital projects. Most of the developments have also been
pretty good.
The decline in the share price of Kaomoji Group, which is listed on Nasdaq, is not the fault of its employees. The fault can only be attributed to the poor market environment.
Su Yehao was too lazy to squeeze profits from his employees just to make the financial report look better.
However, the income of senior executives is already high, so this year's bonuses will inevitably be lower. It is expected that they will be paid at 80% of last year's standards, and the amount is still considerable.
He expected this group of professional managers to help him next year, but he did not dare to offend them too much, lest they all become passive and sabotage their work. Therefore, against the background of widespread layoffs and salary reductions in Silicon Valley, Su Yehao chose to do some of his own work.
Compared with these Internet companies in Silicon Valley.
In the Mainland, due to low competition and small base, including TAT, TOT, Silversea Weibo and other products, the number of active users has increased by two to four times compared to last year. Bonuses will not be issued for the time being on New Year's Day, but before the Spring Festival
The bonus will definitely not be small.
Last June.
The official number of Internet users in the Mainland is only about 4 million, and there are still many inactive Internet users. For example, they can only touch the mouse in school computer classes, and prefer to play small games secretly instead of surfing the Internet.
students.
With the sharp reduction in Internet access costs and the rise of broadband and Internet cafes, the number of Internet users announced at the beginning of this year has exceeded the 10 million mark.
Now, after more than half a year of development, the number of netizens in mainland China who have access to the Internet has reached about 20 million, and the growth rate is expanding wildly.
Considering that more than 95% of Internet users are using Su Yehao's TAT instant chat software and always log in every time they go online, the Assistant Office has made rough statistics and estimates that the number of monthly active accounts chatting through TAT is at least
The number of active Internet users who went online last time was about six to seven million.
Just last month, in November.
TAT instant chat software has just set a new record of more than one million people online at the same time, which means that on the day when the record was set, a million TAT users were online at the same time.
Judging from the number of Internet users in the United States, which has exceeded 160 million, one million people online at the same time is nothing.
The number of people online at the same time in the two instant messaging software ICQ and TVT has already exceeded 20 million and 13 million respectively. If the time difference is taken into account, if all the netizens in Japan, Europe and other places are added up, there will still be
A lot more.
There are too many families in the United States who own computers, and each one costs hundreds to thousands of dollars.
Personal computers are hardly considered "big items" in the United States. You can afford to wash dishes in a restaurant for half a month. On average, every two people have a computer. People are accustomed to hanging up their chat accounts whenever they go online.
There, the number of people online at the same time is of course extremely high.
As for daily active accounts, ICQ just set a new record of 39 million on Thanksgiving Day this year.
The Yanmoji Group has been able to support a total market capitalization of tens of billions of dollars until now, and its confidence comes from this. It already has more than 80 million monthly active users worldwide.
Looking at the mainland.
Even the affordable product of Huang Diamond Computer costs about 6,000 yuan.
The per capita disposable income in this era is only more than 3,700 yuan, making it difficult for many families to afford the purchase of computers.
There are many families and businesses who, even if they buy a computer, will not use it to access the Internet. Instead, they will choose to play stand-alone games or use it for office use. This will not be able to expand the number of netizens at all.
Su Yehao had nothing to do about this. It was impossible to give people a computer for free. He would be impatient for a while and had to endure it patiently.
Three days have passed since I was promoted to be a father.
A newborn baby looks different every day. Seeing that the baby is indeed getting more and more beautiful, Su Yehao finally feels relieved.
Nong Qingying is still living in the hospital, with a lot of people taking care of him, so it's not his turn to worry about it.
Su Yehao was finally free and took the time to finish the backlog of business affairs accumulated in the past few days. It was not until Jack Ma called again that he remembered that in order to accompany the childbirth, he directly let go of the other party's pigeons. Unexpectedly, he was still in Hong Kong City.
So I made a temporary appointment with Boss Ma and met in the office of KOKO Venture Capital.
The high-spirited Boss Ma was wearing a crisp black suit with a white shirt underneath and shiny leather shoes.
When I went to the mainland in 1997, baggy suits were still popular. In recent years, fashion trends have changed. With economic development, the changes in clothing, food, housing and transportation are very intuitive.
Ever since he started working under Su Yehao and received a high salary, Boss Ma's life has been very easy. At this time, he smiled broadly, clasped his fists and told:
"Congratulations to Mr. Su on the birth of a eldest son! You did a great job keeping it secret. I was in a hurry and had no preparation, so I picked this golden dragon. Don't be surprised."
Children born this year were born in the year of the dragon. Boss Ma’s secretary placed a gift on the table. It was a golden dragon about thirty centimeters long. It looked lifelike and was covered with a glass cover. The sound seemed to have some weight to it.
Su Yehao was not polite to him. He only smiled and said, "I'm interested. I've been busy recently. I'm sorry to have delayed you for so long."
"Huh? What the hell, Lin'an is too cold this season, and the weather in the port city is so comfortable. I wish I could stay a few more days. Unfortunately, the company is busy. We have expanded many partners this year, and our sales have been rising steadily, so I'd rather bother you, Mr. Su.
, after meeting and reporting the work, I will rush back to take charge of the work."
Boss Ma is already very talkative. He boasts about himself in a few words and highlights his own importance.
The number of Internet users is increasing, and e-commerce business between enterprises has also increased.
In addition, Su Yehao reached cooperation with several banks through his own relationships and temporarily built a relatively reliable fund remittance custody platform, which greatly increased the performance of Dibao.com and gained a little popularity.
The so-called fund remittance custody platform is similar to Alipay.
However, Su Yehao doesn't want to attract other people's attention yet, so he only treats it as a tool. There is not much difficulty in technology. The key is to get the bank to agree to cooperate.
Speaking of the relationship between Su Yehao and the bank, it can be described as brothers and sisters.
He went out to say hello in person, and even UnionPay helped, and together they created this online transaction service platform tentatively named "Credit Bao"
