Chapter 662 Secret
In 2007, Ziweixing planned to expand its number of employees to 2,000.
Divided into five parts.
The third floor of Ziweixing headquarters is 840 people, including 400 people in Friends Network, 200 people in the campus and SP business groups, and 180 people in administrative departments such as the Finance Department, Marketing Department, Human Resources Department, Enterprise Development Department, etc., and 60 people in a headquarters R&D team led by Cheng Binghao.
There are currently 420 people and 420 people are short of staff.
The Weidian Security Business Center has 220 people, and it is full.
A search business group that rented a floor of office buildings downstairs has 300 employees and 40 shortages.
Ziweixing R&D Center has 240 people and 25 people are short of staff.
The quota of Pengcheng Branch is 400 people. The two businesses are fresh graduate job search website and Embarrassing Encyclopedia, with 120 people and 20 related logistics operation teams. The remaining 260 people are to build a R&D center in Pengcheng. There are currently 320 people shortages.
However, this is a personnel plan formulated at the beginning of the year.
Now there are new changes. If the job search website for fresh graduates is to be upgraded to a job search website, the number of recruitment places will inevitably increase.
As for Pengcheng Branch, there are mainly two core businesses - the fresh graduate job search website and the Kuaibai.
The leaders of the two businesses, Cao Hongtao and Wang Jian, have a certain competitive relationship in promotion.
Now there is a new thing on the job hunting website, so naturally the other side of the Huobai is not to be outdone.
When Wang Jian heard that the boss came to inspect in person, he found the right time and knocked on the door of Pei Yao's office and said solemnly: "Mr. Zhou, I have new ideas and want to report to you."
Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Why are you doing so serious? My name is Zhou Buqi. I am not this general or that general. Come and sit down."
Pei Yao was helpless, "Wang Jian, aren't you talking about the new plan?"
Wang Jiandao: "It's a new plan!"
Pei Yao was a little unhappy. These were all projects that she denied. As a result, the man ran to the big boss to show off, and he really didn't understand the rules.
Zhou Buqi saw her expression and knew it in his heart. He smiled and said, "Okay, tell me, what new plan?"
Wang Jiandao: "The success of Embarrassing Baibai shows that the content of our ugc's personal stories has a market and a wide audience. Although there is traffic support from the school network, the correctness of this direction cannot be denied."
Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, the attractiveness of the Huobai story is indeed stronger than the general joke collection."
"I think the core of embarrassing is not a joke, but a sharing. Similar embarrassing things are difficult to share in life, embarrassing and embarrassing. But it is different on the Internet. If you are not familiar with each other, you will have a chance to be liberated and space to express yourself."
"The kernel of web2.0 is sharing."
"Yes, so I think I can go one step further!"
"oh?"
"I have paid special attention to those anonymous sharing of embarrassing things. They usually have two common features: one, privacy, and two, readability. Some of them have strong interest, which can become hot stories. Some of them have weak interest, which will sink into the sea. Even if this short story is readable, it is abandoned by users because of the lack of humor genes."
When Wang Jian said this, Pei Yao couldn't continue and said with a headache: "Wang Jian, there are still too many businesses that have not been completed now, and the basic functions of the website have not been achieved even 30%. I said, don't be distracted."
Qiubai's operating time is too short and many of its businesses are not perfect.
For example, if you cooperate with the S business and launch a Huobai business on Mobile Dream Network, sending users text messages and jokes, you need a mature editorial team to help them screen out high-quality stories.
But the team is very small.
So much so that this function is outsourced, and a service fee of 300,000 yuan is required every month.
Also, in the design of Huobai, users can pay dividends for advertising, and dividends can be distributed based on the effects of Huobai stories released, based on the number of clicks and likes.
But this feature has not been launched yet.
The jokes that are now so embarrassing are spontaneously shared by users based on passion, enthusiasm and curiosity. This is not a long-term solution.
Passion can retreat, and curiosity can disappear.
Without the stimulation of money, everyone's motivation to post will become lower and lower over time, which will eventually lead to the failure of the website.
Especially with the success of Qiubai, many similar joke websites have appeared on the market. If Qiubai wants to stabilize the throne of the market, it must retain those high-quality creators and give them money.
Also, Zhou Buqi has long suggested that the recommendation of the story of Huobai should be based on uncertainty. This requires an uncertain recommendation algorithm, which is another missing piece.
There is still a lot of work to do.
At this time, I don’t want to do this website well, but I want to do new projects. Isn’t this too ambitious?
So when Wang Jian proposed this project some time ago, Pei Yao refused without hesitation.
Wang Jian was very persistent, "But this direction is really good. We have a foundation for embarrassing things, so it is easy to do it. Once someone else discovers business opportunities, the track will be seized."
Zhou Buqi is more interested, "What direction?"
"secret."
"Um?"
"Oh, I'm not saying confidentiality. I mean the name of this project is 'secret'. Everyone has their own secrets, and what has happened, experienced and seen, is not worthy of being told by outsiders. The Internet has given such an opportunity to say it. On the Secret Network, all users have to speak anonymously, telling stories that they have always wanted to say but dare not tell."
Zhou Buqi blinked and immediately made a keen judgment. This direction is feasible! There is market space! As long as the project is online, its attractiveness to users will even exceed that of a hundred embarrassing people.
How interesting is it to read other people’s secrets?
It can not only satisfy the desire for voyeurism in human nature, but also recognize a more colorful world of life by reading other people's secrets.
The innovation of the application layer of the Internet is often constantly looking for low-level interests of users. If a certain low-level interest is satisfied, it can quickly expand the market and form a scale.
Search engines are searching for pirated music and small movies; chat software are flirting with girls; e-commerce platforms are buying low-priced fakes as famous brands to show off...
Even if it is a high-end campus network that serves college students, isn’t it reliant on a certain amount of low-level interests to attract college students?
There is a key project on the School Intranet, called the selection of school beauty and school grass.
Through the school network, you can interact with the school beauties and school grasses in the school. How excited is this? In order to let everyone vote for them, the school beauties and school grasses may often reply and leave messages.
How much touching does this have for adolescent college students who are not well-educated and full of fairy tales and fantasies about love?
A message may allow boys and girls to extend their fantasy, thinking about how many wedding cars you need to order in the future and how many children will have...
Especially after the campus network is open to graduated college students, it is even more powerful.
This provides a new perspective for seniors to play with juniors and scumbags.
The secret network is exactly what can satisfy the most vulgar interests of the general public.
A secret, infinite imagination!
From this we can see that the difference between entrepreneurs and managers is different.
Wang Jian is an entrepreneur. He is passionate and motivated. When he sees a good direction, he gets hot all over and wants to rush forward regardless of everything. Even though the embarrassment is still very poor now and many functions are not perfect. But when the passion comes, all difficulties cannot be stopped, so he wants to rush forward!
Pei Yao has no entrepreneurial experience, she is just a manager. Without such passion and impulse, it is difficult to understand this style of being a hammer and a stick.
For a technology company, both types of talents must be included. Without the former, if the company becomes rigid, the best result is Lenovo and stagnant; without the latter, the management is chaotic, the best result is Shanda, forcibly transforming, and giving up business to invest.
Zhou Buqi is fine, so he read "Zizhi Tongjian" carefully and used imperial skills to balance the relationship between the two.
Wang Jian continued: "Many real stories in the embarrassing world, as long as they are posted anonymously, have some secret attributes. However, many stories are ignored by everyone because they lack humor. We can use the secret network to make this part of the content valuable, and at the same time attract more people to tell the secrets in their hearts on the Internet."
"Tell me the secret that I can't tell in my heart," Zhou Buqi exclaimed, "Good ideas! Good ideas!"
Wang Jian's eyes lit up and he was surprised, "Is that OK?"
Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Yes, very good ideas." However, he couldn't give up the face of the branch boss. He changed his tone and said in a deep voice: "Thoughts are good ideas, but the timing is wrong. I think it's not suitable now. Pei Yao, you are the boss of the branch, what do you think?"
Pei Yao's face looked much better and said with a chuckle: "Well, I think the time is not ripe. Huobai needs to be improved, and there are too many places to improve. When Huobai's functional framework is improved, it will not be too late to build a secret network."
Feeling the support of the boss, she felt warm in her heart.
"Well, this arrangement is right." Zhou Buqi tried hard to balance the relationship between the two, and could not lose the face of the leader or the passion for innovation of his subordinates. "By the way, I remember there was a problem with the recruitment of the branch?"
Pei Yao smiled bitterly, "Yes, in order to expand quickly last year, more than 100 people were recruited in one go, and at most, there were more than 170 people in the branch. Later, I found that there were major mistakes in recruitment, and the review of values was far from enough, and the company's atmosphere was very bad. Later, I made up my mind and fired more than half of them during the trial period. This was approved by you."
"Well, I remember this." Zhou Buqi nodded and sighed again, "The company is developing too fast, and there is also a shortage of people in the personnel affairs. Didn't Wang Haiyang say that he will send a deputy director of human resources to help you in charge of the recruitment of the branch."
Pei Yao said: "Well, after this wave of recruitment starts, I will interview everyone in person."
Zhou Buqi said: "It's too late to recruit people now. Let's do this. I asked the headquarters to send a 50-person web front-end team to come over. I went on a business trip for 3 months and improved all the main functions of Choubai as quickly as possible. When it's summer, the fresh graduate job search website will be upgraded to a job search website. Choubai will also make a sister network secret. How about it?"
Wang Jian was so happy that he was speechless, "Okay... OK... That's great. Thank you for your trust! I will definitely be able to do a good job in the new website!"
Chapter completed!
