Chapter 89 Make the most of your existing advantages!
Despite the fact that Wen Liang was showing off and angry on the phone just now, as if he was about to pick up a knife and fight at the next moment, in fact, as soon as the phone was hung up, Wen Liang had a smile on his face.
Qian Dejian's phone call really revealed some internal lies and facts on Weibo to Wen Liang.
Although Wen Yeliang knew that Mr. Jia, who had just taken office, was anxious to show off his three talents, which would put greater pressure on Bolang, but now it was a deep-seated conflict of interests, and it was impossible to expect the other party to be 'merciful'.
After changing his sitting position to make himself more comfortable, Wen Liang mentally sorted out everything that had happened since New Year's Day.
His thoughts gradually changed.
Later, Wen Liang initiated a head-to-head meeting.
General Assistant Ritsuka, who was supposed to be present, was not invited to participate.
First, it only lasts three days since I joined the company in the beginning of summer, and I only have half a day each day to understand the official business to a limited extent, so I am not very familiar with the company's affairs.
Secondly, Wen Liang had already said that there were no official arrangements for Lixia a year ago, and attending the meeting was considered a very important official matter, so it was naturally included in it.
Before entering the large conference room, Wang Wanyu first walked into the general manager's office.
Glancing Wen Liang up and down, Wang Wanyu said in a soft tone: "Do you have a headache?"
Hearing this, Wen Liang shook his head and said relaxedly: "It's not a big problem."
Seeing this, Wang Wanyu glanced at Wen Liang again: "Sina is so bullying, the pressure is basically on you, and everyone can help in the decision-making."
After a pause, Wang Wanyu considered it and said: "I have a little suggestion. You can ask your dad for advice. He is also well-informed within the system. There is a joke that says, 'The system is completely a dimensionality reduction attack.'"
Hearing what Wang Wanyu said, Wen Liang smiled slightly: "I remember, auntie, you are not very satisfied with my dad."
Wang Wanyu just rolled her eyes and didn't answer.
Wen Liang was not surprised and continued: "It's not enough to bother him now. I think it's easier to think about a stable year."
Wang Wanyu said no more.
Not long after, except for Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng, all the other co-founders rushed to the large conference room.
…………
In the large conference room, Wen Liang looked around and cleared his throat: "I just received a call from Qian Dejian. He made it clear that he represents Sina Weibo..."
As he said this, Wen Liang played a recording on his computer: "We have used threats and inducements. This shows that Weibo is very anxious from top to bottom. It also shows that our strategy of showing the enemy weakness and then knocking on the enemy is very successful."
"At least this Qian Dejian despises us. As long as this recording is released, regardless of whether Sina Weibo admits it or denies the relationship, public opinion will be turbulent for a while, allowing netizens to shift their main focus away from the gossip.
We may take this opportunity to stabilize the fundamentals of the Xiaocheng Book platform.”
At this point, Wen Liang looked at Li Ze and emphasized: "Try not to let the brand partners who are firmly on Xiao Chengshu's side fall by 1,000."
Li Ze nodded solemnly, then frowned and said, "Sina is so anxious now and wants to force us from all aspects. It's very troublesome to deal with it!"
Wen Liang did not deny it: "There will be some troubles. Money is not good or bad, but people who use money can make trouble."
Having said this, Wen Liang glanced at everyone: "Qian Dejian's phone call allowed me to sort out the affairs and come up with some new ideas. You all can help analyze the shortcomings of one person."
Everyone looked straight.
Wait for the gentle and kind words.
Wen Liang sorted it out for a while and spoke carefully: "Weibo has done a lot of things in a short period of time since it was replaced by Mr. Jia as CEO. The public opinion marketing that we spent a lot of money on by deleting posts and blocking Weibo has had very little effect.
micro;
In the morning, there was news of subsidizing Xiaocheng Book users, which can be said to be digging the foundation;
The capital means just now will directly hit Bolang's goodwill, making Bolang feel precarious in the market. If rumors spread too much, they will be taken seriously, so netizens will have doubts about Xiaocheng Shu."
"From these aspects, Weibo's decision to change coaches before the battle is a wise choice."
After saying this, Wen Liang paused for a moment and chuckled: "But I have sorted it out and found that although the general's ability is good, the effect of this sudden change of coaches is a bit like Song Gaozong's slanderous operation."
"How should I put it? Weibo's operation is actually relatively stable. It has been making steady progress since New Year's Day. It has even developed its own advertising trading platform. The 100 million yuan support plan is also a real killer;
But after we had dinner at the public opinion level, Weibo seemed to be unable to sit still. I don’t know about their internal struggles. Anyway, the result was that Mr. Jia came to power, and Mr. Jia acted like he was “taking orders in the face of danger.” His style became more impatient, and
He may be a relatively shady person to begin with, so I now think that we may not only be able to maintain the current market, but we should be able to win to some extent!”
Hearing what Wen Liang said, everyone present had different expressions.
Li Ze didn't even follow the train of thought, and said subconsciously: "But now the other party has forced us to have no other choice."
Chen Jiaxin next to her said: "There is actually a bit of panic within the company now. According to the holiday notice issued on the 10th, it will be considered a holiday after working today's shift. After all, if you work next Monday, you will have double your salary. Now, the leave request slips compiled by various departments
There are 19 of them!”
Tang Pu and the others didn't understand either.
Sun Baoyin, who is in charge of the R&D department, also said: "Due to the end of the school's final exam and external environmental reasons, the current development progress is far lower than expected, otherwise the new features would have been launched long ago!"
Huagong is on holiday today, and out of more than 300 outsourced part-time developers, only about 10 or 20 people are still taking on new development tasks.
This is also the core reason why Sina Weibo knew something was going to happen and accelerated the development of new features of Xiaocheng Book, but it has not been launched yet.
Finally, Wang Wanyu answered: "I think what Mr. Wen said makes sense. There may be another reason why Weibo is so anxious right now. It's the Chinese New Year."
"If Xiaocheng Book cannot be completed before the year before, with their existing profit model and traffic monetization ability, many of the promises they announced to the outside world will fall short. This may be why Sina Weibo chose to
For reasons of competition, we are a small company after all, and they want to take advantage of the timing to defeat us."
After patiently listening to everyone's thoughts, including Zhao Mingjie's, Wen Liang's expression became calmer and calmer.
He said unhurriedly: "What Mr. Chen mentioned is irrelevant. Private companies are like this. Those who want to leave cannot be retained. The current competitive environment is a natural sieve. These 19 people will be distinguished based on their usual performance. Who should be dismissed?"
If you want to retire, you don’t have to keep it for the New Year, and you won’t miss this little severance pay.”
"You should pay more attention to what Mr. Yin mentioned."
After making simple arrangements, Wen Liang changed his sitting posture and looked more relaxed: "Mr. Wang is right. After Mr. Jia took office, the purpose of Weibo became clear at a glance, and Mr. Jia's style gave us an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"I have several analyses, which aim to maximize the advantages we have now, and let us all work together to provide advice."
As he spoke, Wen Liang raised his finger:
"The first is the gossip in the morning. I think there must be some tricks in it. Mr. Ze, you need to strengthen communication with brand partners."
"Second, I just had a phone call with the editor-in-chief of a well-known newspaper in Hubei. On New Year's Day, their newspaper wanted to do an exclusive interview with our Little Orange Book. The manuscript has basically been formed and will be sent out within the time we requested. This will help
We turn the situation around further."
"Third, I thought of a simple solution to some of the unfavorable factors caused by Sina's desire to forcefully acquire shares."
Having said this, Wen Liang withdrew his fingers and glanced at everyone one by one: "We will donate 1% of our shares in equal proportion to the shares we hold and donate 10 million shares to the South China University of Technology Education Development Foundation for free!"
Before everyone could speak, Wen Liang added: "Except for Mr. Wang, all of our employees are students of Chinese Workers. During the development of the company, we have enjoyed the convenience brought by Chinese Workers. It is natural to give back to our alma mater. Now is a good time."
"Moreover, we are all students. If we cannot withstand the pressure brought by the top ten Internet companies in China, it is normal to go back to school to ask for help. Professor Chang, who teaches us, even reminded me."
In fact, Wen Liang had already thought about the matter of "backer".
Finding the answer is easy.
The old Wen family has some power, but it is almost concentrated in Jiangxia and is out of reach.
Not to mention the Lao Wang family.
Find a local big shot in Yangcheng. With Bolang's current size, he has to rely on licking before the big shot is willing to take a look.
In short, it only took a moment for me to filter out these miscellaneous thoughts.
The best choice for the so-called "backer" is obviously the South China Institute of Technology, which is just around the corner.
The free donation of 1% of the current total share capital will not have much impact on Bolang, but it will achieve multiple benefits.
For example, the founding team borrows more generous resources within the school, and the heritage of a 985 science and engineering university is given back to the alma mater;
What's even more amazing is that if Wen Liang is more ruthless, he can split his shares again and dilute his shareholding!
The conference room was extremely quiet for a moment.
Everyone thought the first one or two points were okay, but the third point really made everyone a bit dumbfounded.
Even Wang Wanyu is no exception.
This is simply taking advantage of being a student to the extreme!
You, Sina, rely on your strong capital, close competition and all kinds of pressure to forcefully acquire Bolang, so it’s not too much for me, Bolang, to find a backer, right? -
PS: It will be released tomorrow, 5 chapters will be updated first, and the 10,000-word update will start the day after tomorrow.
I was supposed to post a testimonial on the launch and it would sell badly, but I really couldn't sell it.
There will always be some days in the life of ordinary people that are bleak and dull, as if they will never end. Every moment they feel helpless and collapsed, unable to express themselves in words, and afraid to make a sound.
Such days in my life began at the end of 2019, and there is still no end in sight. All my efforts during this process are almost meaningless.
