Chapter 1508 B-side and C-side
Affected by the economic crisis, Ai Hui wanted to sell some assets to maintain healthy cash flow. Their choice was to sell shares of S/M Entertainment.
So much so that there were many speculations in the media that the cooperation between Ai Hui and s/m Entertainment may have ended. The two parties quickly clarified that they have jointly promoted several cooperation activities in the past few months, which can be regarded as refuting the rumors.
The company that took over the S/M Entertainment stock from Ai Hui was Jieyu Media, which spent a total of US$5.02 million to acquire 16.9% of the shares.
After obtaining this stock, Jieyu Media has an equity partnership with s/m Entertainment, which is equivalent to a strategic cooperation. As you can imagine, the idol team under s/m Entertainment began to increase its domestic presence.
notice.
Girls' Generation recently participated in a cultural program on Capital Channel and was brought over by Xu Baihui.
Dancing at important events or in front of important people is part of the announcement.
The music started and the girls started dancing.
Lao Zhang was so mesmerized that he sighed repeatedly, youth is so beautiful!
Zhou Buqi joked with him, "A veteran will never die!"
Zhang Chaoyang knew what he was referring to, but did not take the initiative and turned to the management of the company. "Entrepreneurship is a way of life and must be an attitude until death. Comrade Lenin once said that the destination of a soldier is the grave."
For me, entrepreneurship is something that will last until death. No matter what happens to Sohu, I will never let it go."
This sounds like complaining, because Sohu's stock price is sluggish, and even rising stars Youku and Tudou are larger than Sohu. There is a cry in the industry that Lao Zhang should delegate his power and leave?
Zhou Buqi didn't think this was the correct concept, and said with a smile: "Yes, I also heard a saying in the United States. It seems to be said by a baseball player. It is quite famous. He said that great athletes rarely retire on their own. They always
Was limping off the field."
Zhang Chaoyang agreed, "Yes!"
Zhou Buqi shook his head, watching the young and beautiful Korean girls in the box dancing and posing, and said calmly: "But I will never limp away."
"So you delegated authority?"
"ah?"
"Aren't the people in charge of Ziweixing Xiao Zhang, Xiao Guo, Lao He and Lao Xu?"
Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Where are you thinking? They are also doing it according to my development concept. I am still young and don't want to quit. I just put more energy on overseas business."
At this time, the dance was over and the girls began to come up to toast.
I don’t speak Chinese well, but I speak English directly, and my communication is fairly fluent.
Everyone took a small sip, then new music started playing, and they went to dance again. After taking off their coats, they wore uniform blue tight T-shirts that exposed their navels, and black tight leather pants underneath, with a tight fit on the chest, waist, and hips.
The curves are really mouth-watering.
However, both Boss Zhou and Boss Zhang are persons of high status and cannot be too ostentatious.
While enjoying the dance of the girl group and chatting, Lao Zhang said with emotion: "Girl groups like them are all about youth."
Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, it is mainly aimed at young audiences aged 15-25. This group is more fanatical and persistent. They do not feel the pressure to survive in society and are more willing to spend money on idols, which is the fan economy."
"Korean people can really make money in various ways." Zhang Chaoyang felt that these girls were quite pitiful and were like tools, so he sighed and said, "This is consuming the bodies of young girls."
Zhou Buqi disagreed and said: "You can't say that. We want to develop the economy during reform and opening up. What we do is low-end manufacturing, and there are a large number of workers on the assembly line. In the 1980s, there were economic problems in the Philippines, and they vigorously promoted
Filipino maid industry to earn foreign exchange; last world
Ji Soros launched a financial war against Asia, Thailand fell, and promoted the transvestite industry to drive tourism; during the same period, South Korea chose to save the country through culture and produce stars in the assembly line. There is no difference in essence. If the economy is poor, it can only
It’s about making a fuss about people.”
Zhang Chaoyang said amusedly: "You do social surveys, right?"
Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "I have experienced your compassion when I was in Korea. This is what people explained to me. Cultivating boys and girls to become stars, this kind of cultural industry has a high degree of recognition."
Zhang Chaoyang's eyes were complicated, and he leaned over and whispered: "Do they have a choice? Are they going to do what the agent arranges?"
Zhou Buqi glanced at him and said: "You should still have the right to choose. They have all made their debut. They are not like ordinary trainees who will be banned directly if they disobey. They will be merciless. If the debut team bans a certain person, maybe
It will cause protests and dissatisfaction from fans, which will affect the company's income. Unless you can pay a large amount of money to make up for the economic losses suffered by the agency to ban a debut idol."
Zhang Chaoyang laughed and waved his hand, "As you said, I'm not a bad person."
Xu Baihui was nearby, leaned over and whispered: "Mr. Zhang, idols like this are prohibited from dating by the agency. However, this is external. As long as it is hidden well and approved by the agency, dating is okay. With you
With my identity, if the agent recommends a reconciliation, the girls will agree."
Lao Zhang quickly declined, "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that! You should arrange it for Xiao Zhou!"
Xu Baihui looked at Boss Zhou with a smile, "How about you? Fans in China, Japan and South Korea all like Yoona and Taeyeon. Do you want to represent the young people from China, Japan and South Korea to follow them..."
"Pull him down!" Zhou Buqi immediately rejected her bad idea, "I can't represent anyone, I can only represent myself. Each one of them is made from the same mold. Just look at the face above.
, who can tell who is who?”
Xu Baihui almost died of anger.
Zhou Buqi avoided the topic and then asked Lao Zhang: "By the way, how do you use Weishu?"
"Very good! A great product!" Zhang Chaoyang praised it profusely. "It's much easier to use than Office. Now, except for the finance and human resources departments, Sohu doesn't use Office component products very much. There is really no need to use domestic Office.
The one who beats the office must not be another office. I just read Weishu very well."
Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Did I save you money?"
"It can save some money."
Zhang Chaoyang nodded.
Enterprise-level professional office suites cost US$300 each and can be used by five employees. If a large company like Sohu with 3,000 employees purchases genuine suites, it will spend US$180,000 per year.
Zhou Buqi vaccinated him in advance, "It's a beta version now, and it's free for you to use. When it matures and is officially commercialized, WeChat will also charge for it, so you have to be mentally prepared."
"How much does it cost?"
"We definitely can't sell software like Microsoft does. Internet companies play the same way as Internet companies."
“Like Google Docs?”
Zhang Chaoyang also understands this very well. All companies want to make money.
However, the models of Internet companies and traditional technology companies are still slightly different. Microsoft is very traditional. No matter who wants to use office software, as long as it is genuine, they have to spend money to buy it.
Google is different.
The essence of the Internet is that it is free.
Google Docs is free.
However, there are space storage limitations. When the number of documents reaches a certain size, the free space will be used up, and you will have to pay for more storage space.
This is the “free to pay” model.
This model is conducive to collaboration between individual teams. For example, if friends in a university dormitory work together to do something, they can only use free space.
By making it free, we can expand the user base and form user habits.
When they enter the company, they will favor products like Weishu more.
Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, it's the same pattern as micro-point notes."
Jieyu Media is also using Weishu now. Xu Baihui asked curiously: "By the way, I feel that the document business of Weidian Notes and Weishu are quite similar, right? They are all online text records."
Zhou Buqi said: "The former is a personal business, oriented to the C-end; the latter is an enterprise-level product, oriented to the B-end."
Xu Baihui blinked her eyes and asked: "What is the difference between end b and end c?"
Zhou Buqi glared at her angrily, "Ignorant and ignorant!"
Xu Baihui curled her lips and said, "I'm not in the Internet business."
Zhang Chaoyang smiled and helped explain: "The b-end is for enterprises, and the c-end is for individuals; the b-end attaches importance to business processes, and the c-end attaches importance to user experience; users on the b-end have high loyalty and are more likely to repurchase, while users on the c-end are extremely unsatisfied due to competitive incentives.
Loyalty; the b-end mainly focuses on selling products and monetizing them.
The c-side focuses on indirect monetization of traffic; the b-side focuses on market occupancy, user renewal rates, and the number of merchants covered; the c-side focuses on user growth rate, user activity and complete conversion rate; the b-side pays more attention to the sales team
The c-end is more concerned about the cooperation with the operation team.”
"I'll go!" Zhou Buqi was amused by him, "Old Zhang, you can do it! It's like the standard answer!"
Zhang Chaoyang waved his hand casually, "I just mentioned whatever comes to mind."
A few people were chatting enthusiastically here, and the girls dancing enthusiastically over there had mixed feelings in their hearts, feeling that they were being ignored.
Speaking of which, Chinese men are really a hundred times stronger than Korean men.
The two bosses are personable, elegant and very charming.
Zhou Buqi continued to talk about Weishu, "Weishu has launched an English version. It has been activated in the United States and the United Kingdom, and the effect is very good. It is also a document, and Weishu documents are much easier to use than Google Docs! Not only online
Communication is easy and the product design is good.”
Google Docs is a proper b-end product, which means that this product is for professionals. The product design is very complicated, and it hardly looks like a commercial product. It is like a display platform for Google technology.
It proves that Google is stronger than Microsoft in the field of SaaS cloud computing.
Not to mention small and medium-sized enterprises, employees of Internet companies are completely confused about Google's B-end products.
In comparison, the document design of Weishu is much simpler and easier to use.
