Zhou Yujie continued, "By the way, when Teng Xun was poaching people, I stared at Linlang Tianshang, Wolong and Tianmei Arts and Games Studio. No matter how much the price is, I have to dig them up."

Linlang Tianshang, Wolong and Tianmei Arts and Games Studio are the third most powerful studios under Tengxun. By 2014, they will merge to become the most well-known Tianmei Studio.

These teams have developed several popular games, such as Tiantian Cool Run, Honor of Kings, QQ Speed, Cross Fire, Tiantian Xuan Dou, Tiantian Love Elimination, QQ Three Kingdoms and other games.

Although the popularity of these games is supported by Teng Xun’s invincible traffic, its quality is bound to be excellent.

"I understand, these studios have achieved very good results in recent years." Zhang Yidong said with a smile.

Zhou Yujie nodded and smiled and said, "Okay, that's what it is for the time being. Let's talk about other things after the Chinese New Year."

Soon, the Spring Festival will be coming in 12 years...

...

On Friday, January 18, the 6th floor of the Four Seasons Hotel in Shanghai was on the banquet hall.

As a rising star's Internet company, this is the first time Toutiao has held a large-scale annual meeting.

Because at the same time last year, the company's owners were desperately preparing for [Shake] and had no time to prepare for the annual meeting. At that time, the company gave each employee a subsidy of 1,000 yuan to hold private gatherings. This time, it was natural to hold a big event to gather the cohesion of the entire company.

The banquet hall of Four Seasons Hotel is quite large, but the scale of Toutiao is already as high as thousands of people. It is impossible for everyone to attend the banquet. Each subsidiary has a certain number of places. Those who can attend the banquet are some of the company's middle-level leaders or technical and business-oriented personnel.

In addition, some partners, such as Baidu, also sent people to participate, several of the preferred large partners, some self-media or brand companies with high traffic on Toutiao, some third-party cooperative companies of Quxin, etc.

At the same time, a deputy mayor and a group of leaders were sent to participate in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and their positions were naturally arranged to the forefront.

In the bustling bustle, the backstage was preparing for the upcoming activities. In the hall, many employees were also chatting happily, and the content they discussed the most was the lottery tonight.

In a year and a half, Toutiao has gone from a startup to a small giant that can be treated with caution now. Those who can enter the company at the earliest stage will become the veteran level of the company. Although it may not necessarily rise to the top in the future, the probability will always be much higher. At least, in terms of stock dividends, the early advantages are too great.

Stock dividends in the Internet industry are generally converted into stocks based on salary, but these stocks are determined based on the valuation of the year. If the stocks increase ten times or even more in a few years, then holders can get rich overnight and be free of wealth.

The old employees who received the first batch of Quxin stock share share in the same period last year have increased several times. This year, an important lottery draw is to share year-end stock dividends. Everyone has hope, but it is not clear how much it is.

This is a common reward, and the prizes in other lottery draws are also extremely generous. For example, the special prize is a three-bedroom, two-living residence with a 150-square-meter apartment on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, plus a parking space.

As soon as the information about this prize came out, it caused a sensation in the entire company's department. Although their monthly income is far greater than that of other industries, even on Toutiao, ordinary engineers only have just over 200,000 yuan a year, and better than 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, and those who can reach one million yuan are all senior management of the company.

But even for senior management, it is a very tempting to go to a house in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, because according to the land price, the value of this house is almost 2 million.

The so-called annual salary of one million yuan is deducted from personal income tax + five insurances and one fund, and deducting long-term stock dividends, and only 400,000 or 500,000 yuan a year. With this kind of income, you can only pay a down payment in two years. While ensuring your quality of life, you still need to spend another ten years to pay off your mortgage.

Of course, this does not include the value that can be cashed out after the stock binding expires.

For ordinary employees, if you get a loan-free house in Shanghai, you may be able to lie down in your life...

At 6 o'clock, the annual meeting officially began. The first person to take the stage was Liao Derong, the personnel director of Toutiao Corporation, a middle-aged man in his early 40s. He once worked as the deputy director of Sohu's personnel. Later, through the introduction of Sequoia Capital, he joined Toutiao. The company's internal personnel structure and equity distribution plan were completed by the team he led.

After Liao Derong came to the stage, he was very calm and said with a microphone: "Dear leaders, colleagues, and friends, thank you for attending the first annual meeting of our company. In the past year,..."

Liao Derong took 5 minutes to finish the manuscript he had prepared, and everyone didn't find it boring, because what he said was the development of several major businesses of Toutiao in the past year.

The number of registered users of Quxin and Toutiao has exceeded 50 million. The former's data is close to Tengxun. It is currently the second largest social software in China, surpassing YY. The latter is currently the largest news platform in China. The average daily usage time of a single user exceeds 30 minutes. It is currently the platform with the largest traffic on mobile terminals except QQ.

And AppTrea has become the largest application download platform in China, surpassing 91 mobile assistants.

As for the Today Youxuan, which has just been established for half a year, it has rapidly expanded outward with the traffic and funds of its parent company, with Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai as the core, and is currently also the largest takeaway platform in the country.

Before we knew it, Toutiao has become one of the giants with great influence in the Internet field, and may not be comparable to the three giants of Bat, but in the second level, it is no longer weaker than Sina, NetEase, etc.

After Liao Derong talked about the company's development, he quickly opened the topic: "The healthy and rapid development of Toutiao Company is inseparable from the support of the leaders of the Shanghai Stock Exchange Government. Today, we were fortunate to grab Mayor Wu to visit. Let us give Mayor Huang a warm applause and say a few words on stage."

"Baobabababababababababababa..." There was a burst of applause below. The mayor of Shanghai Stock Exchange is already one of the top leaders of the central department, and many people are still very proud of their face.

Mayor Wu smiled and walked up to the stage calmly, took the microphone and said with a smile: "Dear comrades from Toutiao Company,...

I think those who can be here should be party members, right? So I still like to call you all comrades. If anyone is not, I will ask Manager Liao to write the application form tomorrow, and I promise I can pass it."

"No problem, anyone who is not a party member can come to me." Liao Derong said with a smile.

"Hahaha..." There was a burst of laughter below. Most of the people who could enter Toutiao companies graduated from universities and universities, and the most basic ones were 985/211. Those who could go to such schools and had excellent grades generally had already joined the party.

Liao Derong continued: "Since entering the 21st century, the Internet has changed people's lives at a subversive speed and has become the highest technology industry. The Shanghai Stock Exchange has also seized the normal opportunity and vigorously cultivated computer talents to serve the country..."

Liao Derong's speech was very skillful. First, he reviewed the investment in the computer field of Shanghai and cultivated talents over the past decade, emphasized the policy of supporting the central government, and then blew a few words about the development of the Internet industry in Shanghai and the content was not much. After a while, he talked about Toutiao and spent a lot of talk to praise Toutiao's achievements in the Internet field. At the same time, he expressed that the municipal government can strive for more policy benefits for Toutiao, etc.

He said it alone for 20 minutes... The people below were quite interesting at first, but they couldn't stand it after a long time. When would they start eating and lottery?

However, this time is already short for the spokesperson of the public department, because the manuscript prepared in advance is not long.

Mayor Wu stepped down from the stage with "warm applause", Liao Derong began to get to the point, the hotel service staff began to send chopsticks, and some talented staff started their own performances according to the rehearsal, and music and dance performances continued for a while.

The employees below eat as much as they should and drink as they should. Within about an hour, the five, four and third prizes were all won, corresponding to the prizes being iPad, the latest Apple 4S mobile phone and half a month paid annual leave.

These rewards are very practical for most employees. When the software lottery system on the screen shows the winner, the atmosphere immediately became warm.

Next, there are the second prize, with a total of 10 people. The prize is a 15-day trip to the seven European countries. This prize also attracted many people because it is a family package. If you win the lottery, you can take your family of three to travel together. If you spend money on your own, you will not be able to handle this trip without a 100,000 yuan.

Zhong Guangwei was invited to the stage, took the microphone and smiled: "Dear colleagues, if anyone of you wins the prize and doesn't want it, you can sell it to me."

"Haha..." There was another burst of laughter below. Before this annual meeting, all employees already knew that the real senior management of the company had been kicked out of the second prize or above lottery draw. This may not be true fair, but for ordinary employees, this approach seems to be "fair" to the company.

Many people below are using their mobile phones to take videos. The popularity of smartphones makes it extremely convenient to take photos and videos and share them.

Soon, Zhong Guangwei pressed his hand and the name that kept jumping in the big screen stopped, and the work numbers of 10 employees appeared on the screen.

"Ah, I won the prize!" A young woman shouted happily, but soon another thought flashed out in her mind: Am I still a single dog? It would be a loss to go alone!

Next to the winning woman, Chen Wei felt envious. He was born in a poor mountainous area and went to Jiaotong University with his own efforts. After graduation, he was recruited by Toutiao and became an ordinary coder under AppTreasure.

Although the salary is not low, it is still too difficult for him to gain a foothold in this city. Fortunately, Toutiao Company's benefits are very good and implemented unified leasing. The company paid to rent a house in several nearby communities and arranged one room for each employee. There are buses to pick him up and drop him off at work. In addition, the company's four meals a day, with Chen Wei's saving personality, he can basically save his salary.

Chen Wei once calculated that with his salary and at least 20% increase in salary every year, if the rise in housing prices in Shanghai is not very exaggerated, then five years later, he can buy his own house.

He has always been very frugal and has never even made a plane, let alone traveling abroad. He just can't bear to let it go, which doesn't mean he doesn't want to. Seeing his colleagues who came in with him win this grand prize, he was naturally very sad.

After a group of ten people came on stage to receive the award, there was another program performance. The company specially invited some young singers, crosstalk and sketch actors to liven up the atmosphere. The second climax of the subsequent climax was naturally the first prize draw, and the prize was a coupon worth 250,000 yuan.

Employees who draw the prize can buy any brand of cars, of which 250,000 will be borne by the company. If you don’t want to buy a car, you can also sell it directly. Although there are serious traffic jams in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, there are so many employees in Toutiao, and there will always be demand.

After Lin Youde came to the stage, he also did the same thing and ordered three lucky ones. One of them was an intern who had just joined the company for less than a month. After winning such a big prize, he almost fainted in excitement.

As the chairman of the company, Zhou Yujie has never been on the stage before, and he needs to accompany Mayor Wu.

It was not until the first prize was drawn that it was his turn to come on stage.

Amidst a burst of applause, Zhou Yujie walked onto the stage with a smile, said hello, and prepared to start the lottery. At this time of climax, who is interested in listening to someone give a speech?

On the screen, countless work numbers generally jump up and down with data. When the button is pressed, the screen will stop, and then according to the quota entered before, the corresponding number will be displayed on the screen.

Under the betting of countless people, Zhou Yujie pressed the button with his back towards the screen, and the speed of the screen immediately began to slow down. From the countless shadows of Arabic numerals before, it gradually became clear. After seeing his work number, many people's heartbeat almost half times faster.

Soon, the screen jumped slower and slower, and finally a name stopped - 2467!

"Who is 2467?"

"The one who starts with 2000 should be a newcomer. Damn, this newcomer is so lucky, it's a house!"

"Damn it, it's not me."

After looking at the work number of 2467 on the screen, Chen Wei's mind was blank.

"Have you won the prize?"

"A house in Shanghai?"

Although Chen Wei had fantasized about winning the prize when he learned that the prize was a house, he actually didn't take it seriously, it was just YY. At this moment, it really happened, and he didn't know what to say!

There was no reaction from the audience. After Liao Derong glanced at Zhou Yujie, he asked again: "Who did you say that the work number of 2467 will not come on stage, we will have to draw again."

"Re-draw!" Many people below started to cheer.

Chen Wei dared not be negligent. With his surprised eyes beside him, he stood up and walked towards the stage.

"Damn it, it's Chen Wei, I'm so envious." The people I know are even more uncomfortable in their hearts ╯﹏╰.

After taking the stage, Zhou Yujie smiled and shook hands and said, "Congratulations."

Chen Wei immediately returned and said, "Thank you, Chairman."

Zhou Yujie laughed and said, "No need to thank me, this is your luck, but after winning such a big prize, I have to be happy. Will I perform a show later?"

"Okay." Although he didn't have any artistic expertise, Chen Wei still agreed and it was okay to sing two songs.

"But wait a moment." Zhou Yujie smiled and said loudly to everyone in the audience: "Everyone, after a year and a half of development, it can be said that Toutiao has gained a foothold in the Internet field. I would like to thank you for your investment first. It was you who created today's Toutiao."

There was another round of applause from the audience, and many people knew what would be next.

Zhou Yujie waved his hand, and after a moment, the applause stopped, so he said, "As the first annual meeting of Toutiao Company, on behalf of the head office, I will give each of you a reward for the hard work of the whole year.

According to the time you join the company, if you have been in the company for more than half a year, you can get your own salary of 6 months. If you have less than 6 months, you will calculate it based on the actual time of joining the company.”
