Chapter 1037: Talent is the key
Back at Penguin Company, Ma Weixun immediately held a company-wide meeting, and Zhou Ming, as a shareholder, also attended the meeting.
Since Penguin Company was formed by the team of Ma Weixun who brought to Yanjing to work as an international e-commerce center, he basically knew Zhou Ming, so Ma Weixun did not introduce Zhou Ming's identity. This was also what Zhou Ming asked, and the meeting went straight to the topic.
But originally Ma Weixun wanted Zhou Ming to hold this meeting, but Zhou Ming refused. Zhou Ming solemnly told Ma Weixun that Penguin was his career, and as a shareholder, he only helped him control the general direction. Ma Weixun did the specific company development plan and meetings by himself.
The reason why Zhou Ming did this is very simple, that is, he doesn’t want to interfere too much in the development of penguins. After all, Ma Weixun brought penguins to the throne of the number one Internet company in China, and if someone else came, he might not be able to do better than him. Zhou Ming still has this consciousness as a reborn person. Anyway, with Ma Weixun here, why do he have to do everything himself? Isn’t it nice to make money while lying down?
However, Zhou Ming's lazy and averse to labor was very touched by Ma Weixun's eyes. He believed that Zhou Ming's actions were full of affirmation and trust in him.
"I will definitely work hard to build a business, make Penguin bigger and stronger, and will never let down your expectations of Mr. Zhou Ming!"
Ma Weixun's words made Zhou Ming feel embarrassed as if he was swearing.
At the meeting, Ma Weixun directly announced that he had abandoned the building sweeping they had used before and the policy of using office white-collar workers as the customer group, and instead targeted the student group, using Internet cafes and other channels to promote it to students.
Ma Weixun's sudden policy reform caused an uproar in the entire meeting. Everyone was surprised. They didn't understand how to change the policy well? You said that the house scanning efficiency was inefficient and came up with other more efficient methods. They understood this, but what does it mean to change the customer group?
If it is a large enterprise, then the policies set by the boss are just implemented, but as a small enterprise in entrepreneurship, it cannot do this. Ma Weixun must explain it to everyone so that the entire team can maintain the centripetal force.
Ma Weixun told his team that there are only so many white-collar workers in the office, and more than a dozen instant messaging softwares are in the market to fight together. The competition is very fierce. In addition, many people have already used n**, so it is difficult to change their preconceived usage habits at once. Therefore, they might as well substitute for the second place and give up the white-collar group and turn to students.
Ma Weixun also explained that students are the most receptive group to new things, and no other companies have noticed this at present, so it would be much easier for them to promote than white-collar workers.
Of course, some people also asked Ma Weixun about the consumption capacity of the student group. It is indeed much easier to promote the student group, but the fundamental reason why the student group is not valued is that they do not have independent sources of income, so even if the number of users increases, it is difficult to bring profit growth to the company.
Ma Weixun first affirmed his thoughts, but then asked if the students were always students and wouldn’t they graduate and go to work?
Only then did everyone realize that the promotion for the student group is not the present, but the layout that focuses on the future.
However, then Ma Weixun said: "I believe everyone can understand that this level of layout is not something I can do, it is the planning that Mr. Zhou Ming helped us make for
.”
As Ma Weixun said, warm applause and cheers rang out in the conference room. Zhou Ming scratched his head embarrassedly. He originally planned to come over and make some soy sauce, but he didn't expect it to be brought out. And looking at the appearance of the others, it seemed that they had guessed that it was him.
Praise Zhou Mingyibo, and Ma Weixun then organized everyone to discuss how to promote it to the student group.
Since we have a goal, the next moment is to exert subjective initiative. Although the student group will be simpler than office white-collar workers, it is definitely not possible to go directly to campus promotion. Soon some people think of using Internet cafe resources for promotion. Because now, students say that they can afford computers at home, and most of them surf the Internet in Internet cafes, so using Internet cafes is a very suitable way.
Zhou Ming sat behind Ma Weixun and watched the Penguin Company plenary meeting. Zhou Ming knew why Penguin came from behind and broke through the siege of a group of instant messaging software, and laughed to the end.
Not to mention anything else, it depends on these people's positive enthusiasm for company decision-making. It feels like they are doing Penguin as their career.
After some discussion, they came up with a plan to promote Penguin software using Internet cafes. Ma Weixun left Zhou Ming to make a decision, but Zhou Ming didn't read it: "I said, Mr. Ma, you are the president of Penguin. As long as you agree, then go and do it. And I have been here all the time in the meeting just now and I have heard it."
To be honest, Ma Weixun and his team's plan is definitely not perfect, but for now, it is most important to promote it first.
Although in Zhou Ming's impression, the penguin once had gone through such a detour, and turned to the student market after he had run out of blood in the white-collar market. It was precisely because of this detour of the penguin that Zhou Ming made a special trip to Nanjiang from Yanjing, with the purpose of allowing the penguin to see through as soon as possible so as to overtake the curve.
Zhou Ming did not object, and the plan was determined. The next day, Ma Weixun took his team out to various Internet cafes for promotion.
In fact, according to Ma Weixun’s plan, everyone was to be spread out. However, Zhou Ming later reminded him that promotion is important, but customer experience is also important. Simply put, it is to make anyone at any time without having to learn it specifically. In addition, some software avatars and expressions of various types are required for users to choose from.
Therefore, in the end, in addition to leaving someone to continue designing the code, Ma Weixun also contacted the artist to produce it, and only brought a few people to the Internet cafe for promotion.
When Zhou Ming helped Ma Weixun change the company's strategy, Rao Zhidong also paid attention to this matter and immediately passed the news to Cao Jianning.
"Boss Cao, I think that although they have changed their thinking now, I am not optimistic about their decision, because through Internet cafe promotion, this may be able to create many new users in a short time, but in the long run, it will not help the company's development. Most of these users are useless users with no real meaning!"
Rao Zhidong said while carefully observing Cao Jianning's expression. After seeing that he had no reaction, he also boldly continued: "Actually, boss, I really don't understand why you are so concerned about this Penguin Company. I have been paying attention to it since the company opened, but unfortunately, I didn't find anything special about him."
Rao Zhidong also gave examples one by one with his fingers: "First of all, their products, instant messaging software. Although this is an emerging project in the market, they entered the market too late. Not to mention that foreign countries had seized the market two years ago, there were dozens of instant messaging software being made in China and Hong Kong City this year. Now, there are qcqy running in various office buildings in Nanjiang."
"Of course I understand that boss, you and Zhou Ming used to know each other. It's understandable that you want to invest in him, but you have taught me that you are not merciless in the business world! If you invest 50,000, even 500,000 is enough. Why should you invest 5 million? Five million is enough to set up dozens of companies!"
Rao Zhidong said the more he became more and more powerful: "Returning to the current situation, they accumulate new users through Internet cafe promotion. This seems to be able to quickly expand their user base, but we need to put a question mark on how much useful these user bases are. To be honest, in their current practice, I prefer to hype up the valuation of their company and then cash out the routine..."
Cao Jianning had been drinking tea quietly, but when he heard Rao Zhidong say this, his eyes suddenly became sharp and he turned to look at Rao Zhidong.
Rao Zhidong was suddenly silent, which made him remember that he was a little proud just now, so he apologized to Cao Jianning repeatedly.
Cao Jianning's eyes calmed down, and he waved his hand to Rao Zhidong and said, "Mr. Rao, I know you are a very smart person. You can always analyze the situation thoroughly, but sometimes the situation is just an objective factor. Many times, talent is the key to whether things can be successful and which step can be achieved!"
While talking, Cao Jianning took out a piece of information and threw it to Rao Zhidong like a magician: "Let's have a good look."
Rao Zhidong picked up this information and opened it and found that it was Zhou Ming's resume. He didn't understand what the boss meant, but when he continued to read it, the expression on his face gradually became incredible.
"How is this possible?" Rao Zhidong looked up at Cao Jianning, "Boss, this is not true, isn't it? It is written on it. Zhou Ming has successively established the International E-Commerce Center, Supercomputing Center, Huaxin Group and Huatong Company in less than a year, raising 10 billion yuan in Hong Kong City in one week. Now the most popular Yannanli project and Yizhuang project in Yanjing are also his own hands?"
Cao Jianning smiled slightly: "To be precise, it's not a year, it's about a few months, and the domestic baby smile and the Hongcheng United Investment Fund of Hongcheng have a lot to do with him."
Cao Jianning said this and paused: "So you still think my investment is not worth it?"
Rao Zhidong shook his head repeatedly and said that this is definitely worth it: "If these resumes are true, then no matter how much investment in such a person is, it is worth it, because he can definitely bring miracles!"
Cao Jianning did not comment on this. He then stood up and went to the window, muttering to himself as he looked out the window, "Yes, I also want to see what kind of miracle this penguin is."
Cao Jianning said and turned back: "So our five million will be implemented as soon as possible. We need to become shareholders of Penguin as soon as possible!"
