The silence in the conference room did not create an embarrassing atmosphere.
The room was full of people who seemed unable to move their eyes.
The shock was beyond words.
Wang Wanyu, who was the first to recover, said hastily: "How did you think of it!"
Before Wen Liang could answer, Wang Wanyu continued speaking on her own: "It's wonderful!"
"This is a very good time to give back to your alma mater. It is natural to give back to your alma mater. The impact will be different at different times. Now that you are donating for free, the Chinese workers can give the company nominal support, but it can also reduce your moral nobility."
In a short period of time, Wang Wanyu saw the essence through the phenomenon.
Seeing that everyone still knew little about it, Wen Liang explained in a relaxed tone: "After the competition with Weibo is over, Bolang is very likely to reach a big level. At that time, donating shares to the school for free will easily make us look great and upright.
This is not good, sometimes flattery is more difficult to bear than slander."
Having said this, Wen Liang glanced at Chen Jiaxin: "Mr. Chen should have some experience now."
Chen Jiaxin was stunned at first, and then nodded with deep understanding. During the process of Deng Pei entering and leaving Bolang, he did have a similar experience.
Wen Liang added: "The world is not black and white, and people are the same. Now we just want to find a backer, and when we ask for help, we should exchange it for equal value or a high price;
I, we, and Bo Lang will all make mistakes, and we will always end up looking neither black nor white. Doing it ourselves is better and more controllable than having outsiders do it."
Wang Wanyu said nothing, but she felt quite proud in her heart.
Many people understand these simple principles, but not everyone knows how to use them correctly.
Chen Jiaxin and the others could only sigh.
Later, Wen Liang mentioned something else: "By the way, build an official website to display company information. The domain name will be lang."
This is a simple matter and everyone has no objection.
Then they briefly discussed the transfer of the 1% shares in proportion, and also contacted Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng by phone. The two of them had no objections.
Because Wen Liang actually holds 61% + 5% of the option pool, and the 5% of the option pool does not move, he sells 0.66%, or 6.6 million shares, in proportion.
After calculation, the actual shares held by Wen Liang became 60.34% + 5% of the option pool.
Chen Jiaxin, Wang Wanyu and the other 10 people sold a total of 0.34% of the shares.
As Wen Liang said, the first shareholders' meeting was the first and only time that he separately split his personal shares and redistributed them.
Every time since then, it has been an equal-proportion sale.
Finally, Wen Liang looked at Wang Wanyu and said, "Mr. Wang, please prepare some financial information. Let's go to Huagong Works together tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Wang Wanyu nodded.
She no longer worries about external competition at all.
This meeting also finalized some details.
…………
That night, in Room 716, Sun Baoyin demonstrated some new features of Little Orange Book that he and everyone in the R&D department worked overtime to complete.
After many adjustments and accelerations, it was finally officially launched.
It highlights several adjusted functions.
“There are two buttons at the top of the homepage of the app: ,, Enter recommendation by default. The recommendation algorithm of this part has been iterated twice, and the current effect is not bad;
At the bottom of the homepage are three buttons:,,.”
"The vertical category has been changed to tags starting with #. There are currently 19 built-in tags, including 11 neutral/male tags, and user-generated tags are supported."
"..."
Sun Baoyin was demonstrating the new version as he spoke and looked back at a few people.
Everyone thought it was pretty good.
Wen Liang also agreed: "No problem."
"I wanted to ask before, won't our website be revised?" Li Bowen interjected curiously.
Li Ze replied: "The focus of users has shifted to the mobile terminal, and the current web version is also sufficient."
Wen Liang continued from the side: "You reminded me that now the ads on the app can gradually be displayed normally, and users can actively choose to block them."
Li Ze thought for a while: "I will make a plan for this matter and start implementing it after the competition with Weibo becomes clearer."
"Very stable." Tang Pu gave a thumbs up.
Li Ze briefly talked about his operation strategy: "This is what I think. After midnight push, some strategic design needs to be done. For example, the app user-generated label first invites some people to try it out."
Wen Liang also gave Li Ze a thumbs up: "Very stable!"
"..."
At 0:20 on the 14th, Xiaochengshu pushed the new version of the app through various channels.
Li Ze also specially arranged some suitable soft advertising.
A small number of night owls who were active late at night gathered on the Xiaocheng Book platform for some discussions.
"If nothing else, Xiao Cheng Shu's software can be said to be very dedicated this evening. The new version seems to have quite a lot of features. Download it and take a look."
"It's a simple style that I like. You can refresh it all the way down. It's great! All the categories on the webpage are gone. I don't know what they have been changed to."
"It's a label, and it supports creating your own labels, but it seems you need to be invited. I just happened to be qualified for this experience."
"Not just invited, it is said that all brand partner accounts have this permission. I will create a game tag first!"
"There seems to be a lot of things this time. I see there is a logout button in the settings."
"There is also a youth mode. I tried it, but it seems that I can't see the advertising updates even if I search actively, and I can't see some more adult content."
"I saw something strange, called copyright protection. No wonder Bolang won again with the officials of several companies yesterday. It is really rare to see such a copyright-conscious website in China!"
Finally, someone posted a piece of content that won the approval of countless netizen friends: "Exit the software and open other software, and suddenly I feel that other software are too unclean and messy!"
"..."
Naturally, Li Ze would not miss the heat brewing in one night.
If you can’t find it on Weibo’s hot search, you can still find it on other platforms.
Early in the morning, according to the inflow of traffic on Xiaocheng Book, Li Ze cut out a section of the call recording between Qian Dejian and Wen Liang and played it out.
…………
…………
The Magotan driven by Wan An slowly drove into Huagong.
Winter vacation has just begun, and the campus is still much the same as usual, not any more deserted.
The car parked steadily in the parking lot near the administration building. Wen Liang and Wang Wanyu walked in and soon met Ms. Wang Yingjun in the principal's office.
When he saw Wang Yingjun, Wen Liang smiled and introduced himself: "Hello principal, I am Wen Liang. Please forgive me for disturbing you."
Neither humble nor arrogant nor overstepping the bounds.
There was a reservation in advance, and Wang Yingjun had heard Wen Liang's name. He was not surprised. He stood up and took a step to greet him, saying with a kind face: "Hello, classmate Wen, please take a seat."
Wen Liang nodded in response, not in a hurry, and sat down before the other party came to sit on the sofa.
After they sat down respectively, the office secretary also brought tea to Wen Liang and Wang Wanyu.
Wen Liang introduced Wang Wanyu at the right time.
Afterwards, Wen Liang did not hesitate and went straight to the point: "At the beginning of last year, I jointly founded a company with several classmates and alumni of the school. It was developing well, so we unanimously decided to donate 10 million shares of the company to the school's Education Development Foundation for free. One is to build a reputation, and the other is to give back to the school."
After hearing Wen Liang's straightforward remarks, Wang Yingjun took a deep look at Wen Liang and asked directly without being tactful: "What is the name of the company founded by Mr. Wen?"
"Bo Lang." Wen Liang replied.
Hearing this, Wang Yingjun raised his eyebrows subtly: "That Bo Lang that has been targeted by Sina Weibo recently?"
"Yes." Wen Liang said calmly, "The pressure we face is a bit high."
Wang Yingjun turned his eyes and suddenly said: "I heard Professor Chang mention you by chance. You have excellent learning ability and you majored in mathematics. How could you want to start a business?"
Wen Liang replied without hesitation: "I want to challenge my own limits. Mathematics distinguishes geniuses from mortals. Unfortunately, I am a mortal and have no special talent in this area."
Wang Yingjun picked up his tea cup and took a sip of water.
She was very surprised at Wen Liang's calmness and frankness in his shrewdness, and she was also surprised at Wen Liang's insight in dealing with others.
The feeling that Wen Liang gave her was a bit conflicting.
In the end, Wang Yingjun chose to ask directly: "Does Mr. Wen not need any support from the school?"
Wen Liang nodded slightly and answered affirmatively: "Yes."
Seeing Wen Liang's calm attitude, Wang Yingjun quickly understood some of Wen Liang's thoughts.
So Wang Yingjun agreed: "It is not uncommon for students to give back to the school. If you are interested, I will accept your free donation on behalf of the school's Education Development Foundation."
Hearing this, Wen Liang made a gesture: "Delay the principal for a few more minutes, and we will briefly report on the financial situation."
No matter how you donate, the process cannot be avoided.
Everything must be clear and clear.
Especially when it comes to shares, you definitely can't donate your responsibilities; what you have to donate are dividends, income, etc.
Wang Wanyu took out a folder from her briefcase, handed one to Wang Yingjun, and then briefly reported: "Bolang's current assets are about 70 million yuan, and its self-operated business revenue as of this month is more than 16.9 million yuan. , platform business revenue is more than 10.24 million."
Platform business refers to cooperative advertising business. Advertisers settle fees directly with Xiaocheng Book. Bolang takes the commission and then settles with brand partners uniformly, so it is also part of Bolang's revenue accounts.
Li Ze's "Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom" plan was expanded by Wen Liang, so now the revenue from self-operated advertising business is more than the revenue from cooperative advertising business.
This simple set of financial data surprised Wang Yingjun.
I couldn't help but mutter in my heart: 'No wonder I was targeted by Sina Weibo.'
Bolang's assets are of course of very high quality.
The Internet is asset-light, and its revenue capability is so strong that Wen Liang didn't take the so-called high price offered by Qian Dejian at all.
In the end, Wen Liang rejected Wang Yingjun's proposal to hold a small-scale donation ceremony.
It was checked by a professor from the law school and the two parties signed a relevant donation agreement.
The donation of 10 million Bolang shares was settled.
…………
Wen Liang and Wang Wanyu walked into 716 with lunch prepared for Li Rang and others. Li Rang was babbling in Cantonese with Zhao Mingjie. Zhao Mingjie was a little familiar with it, but Li Rang was fresh.
Wen Liang said hello to Li Rang and went upstairs without staying any longer.
This morning, I was not idle at all online.
In addition to the overhaul of the Xiaocheng Book app, which is rich in features and fully open to the public, the "Sina and Bolang" phone call recording released by Li Ze has also become popular.
In addition, ‘Senior Sister Xixi’ has been releasing original content as a model worker since yesterday, and intentionally or unintentionally led brand partners to be curious about her, which has also made her a little popular on the Xiaocheng Book platform.
To set up a brand, it is natural to provide some resources.
As soon as he walked into the multimedia room, Wen Liang saw Li Ze and Tang Pu typing on the keyboard.
Li Ze took the time to look back at Wen Liang: "Done?"
Wen Liang pulled out a chair and sat down: "The donation has been received."
Hearing this, Li Ze turned to the display wall again and said: "It's okay to breathe a sigh of relief, but we have to rely on everyone to run. In the end, we still have to rely on our own ability!"
This is the realization of the founding team of Bolang.
This is also the result of Wen Liang’s guidance model in the past few months.
Wen Liang smiled happily and changed the subject: "You guys are quite lively."
"The direction of the wind is more interesting." Tang Pu continued, "The more specific thing is that today Xiaocheng Book may have one million users in a single day."
I heard Li Ze sigh from the side: "Speaking of which, Xiaocheng Book has developed so rapidly because of the exposure brought by competition among peers."
Mentioning this, Li Ze looked back at Wen Liang: "I remember you said this is called liquidity premium."
"Yes, it is a form of liquidity premium." Wen Liang nodded lightly, "I have always welcomed external competition, but it is a pity that the domestic Internet industry still likes to gain profits through disorderly and vicious competition."
Hearing Wen Liang's sighing tone, Li Ze also sighed: "There is nothing we can do about it. The cost of vicious competition is low. If Weibo does this, they will make a lot of profits."
Wen Liang said no more.
I went to the display wall and started browsing the hot topics on the Internet, mainly on the Xiaocheng Book platform.
Although I still dare not say that the internal user ecosystem is in place, the scale is pretty good.
"I finally understand why rumors are flying all over the place now. Even the news that Weibo wants to forcibly acquire Bolang will be revealed, tsk tsk!"
"No wonder the Weibo official doesn't respond to any subsidies for this or that, and all their thoughts are used to bully others!"
"Judging from the content of the call, it is obvious that these Internet giants in our country have the same mind. As long as they develop, they suppress newcomers, just like ancient sects."
"It's difficult to evaluate the authenticity, but this operation really made me feel that these rich and powerful companies really do whatever they want. It seems that copycats are not exclusive to Goose Factory."
“It’s true that Bolang is suffering from internal and external troubles!”
"Bolang's boss may have told the truth. If Weibo has a strong ability to monetize traffic, there is no need to launch any plans at all. There will probably be something good to watch next!"
"I don't care about this, I just think that Xiaocheng Book is getting better and better, and I heard that there is a special cooperation with the brand partner. The commission is low and the resources are high. 'Senior Xixi' is suspected to be the special cooperation!"
"..."
Wen Liang also saw some user discussions that were obviously from Bihu.
For example, the evening wind is like clouds.
"I have always been convinced that there is a master behind Xiao Cheng Shu. I have a rest today and sort out things, which is very interesting.
Rumor has it that Weibo will send some people forwarding their business promotions in Xiaocheng Book to Weibo. Someone anonymously confirmed that the news is true. However, Weibo officials did not respond. It is rumored that a third party is responsible;
Xiao Cheng Shu also responded. They sent a message to all brand partners to remind them to pay attention to legal risks and other matters. This is likely to be followed up, such as Weibo thunder; (If you guess correctly, it will be a pity...)
Other things like the revision of the Xiaocheng Book app have been analyzed by experts, so I won’t go into details.
