Chapter 141 The entrepreneurial boss must learn to draw pie
As time goes by, November arrives in a blink of an eye.
The students are also fully adapted to the pace of life in the university. Generally speaking, life in the university is relaxed and free.
Those who like to study are busy studying, and those who like falling in love are busy falling in love. Both parties do not disturb each other.
In late November, the number of registered users of Renren exceeded 80,000! The cumulative number of visits to the website exceeded 400,000, and the number of unique visits exceeded 200,000.
This puts great pressure on Renren’s bandwidth and the server’s operating capabilities.
Lu Yang had no choice but to add several more servers, which increased his operating costs!
This afternoon, he came to Sega Garden.
At present, Fan Pingchuan has been promoted to technical manager. He has two subordinates under him, one is responsible for art and the other is responsible for assisting Fan Pingchuan.
They are also all outstanding graduates from poor families.
Now at Bingzhou University of Technology, many students know that Zhuoyang Network Company is recruiting, and their recruitment requirements are poor students and outstanding students.
Few people know that Lu Yang is the boss behind this company.
In the office, Lu Yang looked down at the balance in his bank card. In nearly two months, Chen Wei's promotion team spent more than 200,000 yuan.
Including the team's salary and server costs, there are more than 50,000 expenses.
Of the over 900,000 he had on hand, he now only had over 600,000 left.
The only thing that makes me happy is that the food-stealing game has been integrated into the game category of Renren.com, and the number of users is increasing very quickly.
Lu Yang has not launched a tool charging model yet. He plans to give users some sweetness first and then charge for items.
Soon, there was a knock on the door outside.
Lu Yong went over to open the door.
Chen Wei returned from Yanjing with four salesmen.
Lu Yang and Fan Pingchuan stood up to greet them.
Unconsciously, the company's team has increased to ten people, which can be said to be quite luxurious.
Fan Pingchuan from the Technical Department, and his subordinates Xie Zhiqiang and Zhou Yi.
Chen Wei from the marketing department, and her subordinates: Gao Huixia, Liang Shiman, Ding Ling, Jia Xin.
And Lu Yong from the logistics department.
Due to the large number of people, Sega Garden seemed a bit crowded.
The plan to relocate the office is on the agenda again.
Lu Yang looked at Chen Wei. He hadn't seen her for more than a month. She looked much more mature. Her skin was still fair and she had a little more maturity and stability.
There is also fatigue in her eyes, which is related to the recent period when she led the team to explore the college market.
Lu Yang first introduced the new employees to Chen Wei and them to get to know each other.
Xie Zhiqiang and Zhou Yi are both otakus and not good at expressing themselves. When faced with girls Yingying Yanyan, they seem a little reserved.
Lu Yang held a simple meeting for everyone.
First, Chen Wei reported their results.
Chen Wei said that universities in Yanjing have captured 40% of the market. As for those universities that cannot capture, their requirements are either too demanding or they are protecting their own entrepreneurial projects.
Don't underestimate this 40%. There are nearly 90 colleges and universities in Yanjing. This result is already very good.
After Renren has established a firm foothold in the market, Lu Yang will gradually shift from offline promotion to online promotion.
This plan is already under preparation, such as recruiting campus promotion ambassadors with a commission of 50 cents per new user.
This is how Wang Xing's school network started. These simple promotion methods and the fact that there were almost no similar competitors made the school a huge success.
After Chen Wei finished reporting her work, Lu Yang also told Chen Wei the user data of Renren.
After everyone had no questions or opinions, Lu Yang began to arrange the next work plan.
He asked Lu Yong to rent an office space. The future team will definitely be more than these ten people, and will increase to at least twenty to thirty people.
Lu Yong wrote down Lu Yang's instructions.
Lu Yang asked Fan Pingchuan to continue developing the small games of Landlord and Mahjong and launch them as soon as possible. If he couldn't find a profit model, the company would go bankrupt.
Fan Pingchuan nodded secretly.
As for Chen Wei, they rested in Bingzhou for a few days before heading to Jincheng.
Currently, there are dozens of colleges and universities in Jincheng, making it easier to win in such a relatively concentrated place.
After the North China Market, there are South China Market and East China Market.
The acquisition of these markets means that Renren occupies half of the SNS model.
After the meeting, Lu Yang invited everyone to a restaurant for dinner.
Chen Wei fell behind and started chatting with Lu Yang.
She asked: "Do you still have enough money in your books now?"
Lu Yang: "There are still 600,000 for now, but when the money is burned out, it may be gone."
Chen Wei is a little worried. As the number of Renren users increases, there will only be more and more places to spend money in the future.
The amount of money on the books was too weak compared to those corporate financings later.
Their only advantage is that there is no such website model in China.
If there is capital coming in at this time, Renren.com will be destroyed in an instant.
This is a hidden danger for them.
Lu Yang also saw Chen Wei's worry and patted her shoulder: "Sister Wei, I don't think you need to worry about money. If you really don't have any money, we can also look for investment."
Chen Wei pulled up her hair beside her ears: "Who should I look for to invest?"
Lu Yang thought of the rich second generation Liu Xingyao and Xu Xiaoxiao.
If he asks Xu Xiaoxiao to invest money, I wonder how much Xu Xiaoxiao will give him.
As a last resort, he would rather go to Liu Xingyao for financing than Xu Xiaoxiao, especially because Xu Hairong himself was very wary of Lu Yang.
Lu Yang said: "Let's take it one step at a time. We hope that the launch of these casual games and the advertising business can bring us some income."
Chen Wei nodded, "Let's give it a try while we are still young."
The reason why she followed Lu Yang was not only the chance encounter on the train during the summer vacation, but also the fact that Lu Yang gave her the highest treatment in the entire company, which included part of the company's equity.
The binding of equity gives Chen Wei a sense of belonging, and she has been thinking about how Renren can become profitable.
After arriving at Chunjiang Yuhuo Hotel, Lu Yang invited them to sit down.
We are all young people, and the topics we talk about naturally revolve around current hot events and the taste of food.
Lu Yang likes to use these simple college students, who are hard-working and don't have so many tricks up their sleeves. Treating them to a meal is enough to keep them happy for several days.
The most important thing is that Lu Yang can also draw pie.
He gave a simple speech when these employees were hired: We are a start-up company, we don’t have to make money, but we must have dreams!
Do you know what a dream is?
It’s poetry and distance!
Therefore, these employees all have an almost paranoid admiration for Lu Yang.
Of course, there are also people who treat Lu Yang's company as their first job. Once a better choice comes, they will quickly change jobs.
Lu Yang glanced at everyone. Some had expectations in their eyes, while others had disdain in their eyes.
He knows that it is useless to say anything until the company reaches scale.
Lu Yang doesn't expect to rely on sentiment to retain employees.
What he really needs is someone who is willing to stay with him to start his own business. If it succeeds, the rewards will be huge...
