Zhou Buqi, He Yang, and Wang Haoyang went to see Fei Minke, the vice president of Shanda Yanjing Branch.

Even though he is just a vice president of a branch, this person's ability, qualifications and level are not low.

Before that, he was the director of Shanda Entertainment Business, and was in charge of games, news, music, novels and other businesses. Because the boss of the Yanjing branch resigned, he was transferred from the fire brigade.

As a result, less than half a year later, he no longer wanted to put out the fire.

Shanda's entertainment strategy was ignored by the market and blocked by policy red lines. This direction was basically finished. Because in Boss Chen's design, the core product was the box.

Rely on the box to connect TV sets in thousands of households.

Then, through the box, Shanda entertainment content, videos, music, news, games, online TV, etc. are pushed to users.

Now that the core product is finished, how can we still play it?

The wave of resignations is certain.

Last quarter, Shanda managed to turn a profit from losses, but soon a ban came. Huge losses will definitely occur in the second quarter, and layoffs are inevitable.

Shanda couldn't stay even if it wanted to.

We met at the Jade Palace Hotel and explained our intention.

Femink remained calm, "I don't just do music, I'm not a musician."

He Yang understood immediately that this was a request for power, "What do you think, Mr. Fei?"

Fei Minke said: "After receiving your notice, I have been studying the school network for the past two days. This website... has a lot of content and is entertaining, but it lacks a very important content point."

"Please speak clearly."

"news."

"Doing news?"

"It's not that we want to build a portal. This track has been seized by giant companies. However, social news is still an important content of the Internet and attracts a lot of attention. The school network is lacking in this aspect."

This can be regarded as his old profession.

When he was at Shanda, he was the director of entertainment products and was responsible for this large business.

Games are certainly not suitable for the Xiaonei network, but highly entertaining content such as news, music, movies, novels, etc. are necessary.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "The school network is indeed working on several projects such as school news, school finance, school pictures, school books, school calendar, and school music. But it is done, and it is hard to say whether it should be used or not.

.The school network is now relatively mature, and we must maintain a certain degree of restraint when it comes to launching new functions.”

"So many projects being done at the same time?" Feminke was a little surprised.

Zhou Buqi didn't hide it, "It was given to college students as a training exercise for them."

Fermink twitched his lips and said, "The code of current students cannot withstand scrutiny."

“So we need to cast a wide net, make a model first, and conduct internal inspection. If we think it is feasible and usable, we can then carefully re-deconstruct and design it.”

"So what are your plans for the near future?"

"News and Music."

There were no plans originally.

Zhou Buqi is not concerned about the specific business execution of the school network, but in order to recruit people, it is not impossible to give orders at a higher level.

Ferminke's interest immediately increased, "Can you tell me more about it?"

Zhou Buqi said: "There is no need to be too complicated. In a side column, add a section for hot news and hot music, and switch left and right. You can go to the portal to grab news, and for music, I mean to launch your own music player.

Device..."

Then Wang Haoyang talked about some financial matters.

For example, grabbing news from the portal network is equivalent to bringing traffic to the portal network through the school network. At that time, you can contact Sohu, NetEase and other portals to collect some funds.

Proportional commission.

If anyone dares not to cooperate... then their news links will never appear in the news on the school network, and the traffic will be directed to competitors.

This is taking advantage of the market's monopoly position to seek improper benefits.

Unexpectedly, Wang Haoyang's vision is quite advanced.

The monopoly game is played very smoothly.

After chatting for more than half an hour, Feminke was not satisfied.

He is only responsible for a small module of the school network and feels that his career prospects are not very clear. Behind him is a large team of sixty or seventy people.

That is to say, Shanda is now in crisis and has to lay off employees.

If it weren't for a crisis, if Ziweixing wanted to win over such a large and mature team in one fell swoop, no one would pay any attention to it unless it offered a purchase price of two to three million.

As a result, now they join for free without any burden, so they just do small things...

It's so frustrating.

He Yang thought for a while and said in deep thought: "The content of Xiaonei.com is already rich enough. Adding news and music sections will make the webpage too complicated. I think that making a music player is enough, and you can use Xiaonei.com to recommend it."

.”

Ferminke's face darkened.

I almost left the meeting with resentment, feeling humiliated.

Only making music players, not even the web page? Is this another reduction in power for myself? How can there be any sincerity in cooperation? If he joins Ziweixing with his team, he will also take risks.

He Yang immediately added: "However, recommendations on the web page are not impossible, but they cannot be done on the school network."

"oh?"

Not to mention Fei Minke, even Zhou Buqi was a little curious.

He Yang said: "Aren't we going to make a navigation web page?"

"That's it..."

Zhou Buqi immediately understood what he meant.

After acquiring Phoenix Studio, Ziweixing will have its own browser, called Weidian Browser.

Browsers do not make money. What makes money is the advertising benefits brought by the navigation network. If you are stronger, you can build your own search engine and earn a wave of profits from search advertising.

Today's navigation web pages are very simple, just listing the website directories together.

But Zhou Buqi has seen the navigation web pages that have been improved several times in later generations. They have many functions. Especially the hot news sections, society, entertainment, life, sports, etc., allow some users who don’t know much about the Internet to use the navigation page.

I saw the latest news. Even the portal has been replaced.

Such a web page is more complicated to create.

The news crawling algorithm alone is much more difficult than the page design, typesetting, and layout of the entire website.

The Xiaonei Network has launched a "campus navigation" project, but it definitely cannot be implemented by relying on a group of college students.

Since this Ferminke has great ambitions, a large team, and is very interested in music, novels, games, movies, news, and other entertainment content... we might as well give him this opportunity.

Let him make this navigation website.

The navigation network is all-encompassing.

…

The position opened to Ferminke is the vice president of Weidian Technology, responsible for the navigation website and Weidian music business.

He himself said that his team has 67 people.

He Yang meant that the interviews should be stricter, and the final list of candidates should not exceed 40 people.

Ignore Zhou Buqi and let him operate it.

He was focused on something else.

Guo Pengfei reported that Xiaonei Network’s competitor, 5Q Network.

"5Q network?"

Zhou Buqi scratched his head. He had almost forgotten the name and thought that this competitor had collapsed.

This is a website owned by Thousand Oaks Interactive. After a wave of rogue software attacks last year, their Dudu business unit was completely abolished, resulting in considerable losses.

Guo Pengfei said: "This time, their movements are quite big."

"What happened? The acquisition of Hainei.com was successful?"

"No."

"That's good."

Zhou Buqi breathed a sigh of relief.

What he cares most about is Hainei.com.

It’s not that this website is so powerful. Even if it merges with 5Q.com, it won’t be able to cause any trouble. What he cares about is the entrepreneurial team behind this website. That is the famous Wang Xing, the one who later founded Meituan.
