Chapter 493
Weibo has launched a new reward system again, which shows that it is to be strong with Sina's "Boji".
I have increased my bid, will you follow?
I can't do it for Sina now, and increasing the investment again means spending more money.
Now that tens of millions of dollars have been spent, it only sounded, and both sides barely tied.
Sina is using the tactic of burning money and consuming money for the first time, so it is not very mentally prepared at all.
How cruel the situation is, there is no accurate estimate, and it is unclear how strong the opponent's pressure-bearing ability is.
Even if they don't know whether their opponents will continue to engage in a money-burning war for a long time.
Spend money like flowing water really scared some people and they all began to worry.
If Weibo really has to endure the end, both sides will end up in a loss, and there will be no benefits. Wouldn’t that be a waste of money?
Instead of doing this, it is better to shake hands with Weibo and make peace. The two sides sign a gentleman agreement and stop using this kind of money-burning tactic.
Isn't it beautiful for everyone to develop on their own, relying on their own abilities, saving money and effort?
At the high-level meeting, there were a lot of people who expressed their opinions, but no one said they would fight to the end with Weibo.
Wang Yan's head was so loud that the meetings lasted several hours. Looking at the directors who spoke generously, he felt helpless and angry.
It's time to go, and I'm still thinking about compromising.
These people were short-sighted and looked at the immediate interests.
Is the current situation stopping as long as you want? Qin Shaoyan obviously poured all his chips on Weibo, and he could only succeed but not fail.
There can only be one Weibo platform on the Internet, and other competitors will die.
How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed!
It's too naive to discuss with Weibo to share the market together and slowly waste it.
Sina's current situation is very embarrassing. The three musketeers who went public in the United States were the worst.
NetEase is now making money from online games, and Sohu is betting on the video track and attacking everywhere.
Which Sina's portal is no longer mediocre, and there has been no outstanding product in recent years.
I had a blog before and thought I could achieve some results, but the concept of the blog became popular, and the performance was bleak, and it was completely a loss of money and gaining publicity.
Before they found the way to monetize their blog, Weibo emerged and directly suppressed the blog's limelight.
CEO Cao Guowei keenly realized that blogs are out of date and Weibo will become a substitute for blogs. If they don’t keep up, they will be eliminated soon.
Wang Yan supported Cao Guowei's idea. Sina has experienced many turmoil and internal struggles and has lagged behind other Internet companies. If she does not make any difference, she will be surpassed by rising stars.
So Wang Yan convinced other directors to fully support Cao Guowei's Sina Weibo plan.
Just now that some achievements have been made, these people are retreating and seeking stability.
It's really... the boss is not good at making plans!
After the meeting, Wang Yan sat on the chair with a tired look on his face and was silent. Cao Guowei couldn't sit still. "Mr. Wang, I have only spent 40 million to ask for peace now. What does other people think of our Sina?" br>
"It's not a problem of 40 million." Wang Yan waved his hand, "If it can be done, it's worth spending 400 million. The problem is that the money is spent now, and there is no effect, and I don't know how much I have to continue investing. Money. "
"The director doesn't understand, there is It is normal to worry, after all, we don’t have that sufficient funding yet. "
"Weibo has not been much better, they spent 60 million." Cao Guowei said with some dissatisfaction, "Their data are It's also down. "
"The situation is different, not to mention that Qin Shaoyan is the chairman and CEO, and Sentinel Technology is a saying in every way." Wang Yan sighed. He envied Qin Shaoyan. No one was dragging him down when he wanted to do things.
"Is it only when the directors make achievements that the directors agree to continue to invest?" Cao Guowei asked back.
Wang Yan glanced at him, "Are you sure in this situation now?"
Cao Guowei frowned, "Give me another three months, three months It will definitely be possible."
Wang Yan sighed, "I will try my best to convince other directors."
...
"Don't be afraid of spending money. The money you spend now is investment. When Weibo is successful, you will earn back several times."
Qin Shaoyan cheered the employees with a calm look on his face, " Sina will soon be unable to withstand it, it's just a matter of time."
"You can see from the market value comparison alone that Sina is far from us, so what are you going to worry about?"
>
"The data on Weibo has dropped recently? It's just a technical adjustment, don't panic, users will soon find that Weibo is the real open platform."
"I'm going to go from the stock market Raise one billion, nothing else, just to do a blog post on Sina! ”
"Don't worry, do it boldly!" Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "When Weibo is successful, the bonus of the project team will double!"
The employees immediately burst into cheers and responded with warm applause. Mr. Qin's big cake. "There is one last thing." Qin Shaoyan and others stopped applause and began to emphasize again, "We must eliminate sensitive information such as agitation and reactionary, and crack down on plagiarism. These are red lines."
"You must not relax supervision for KPIs and allow some marketing accounts to mess around. Pay special attention to this."
"Mr. Li, you are the person in charge of Weibo. Just do your business. KPI is not you. What to consider."
Weibo project general manager and CTO Li Xiaoxiao immediately stood up, patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, you are inside!"
Qin Shaoyan just came out of the conference room and secretary Xiao Chen reported, "Mr. Qin, IDG Mr. Xiong and Mr. Zheng from Sequoia came and were waiting in the reception room. "
"Well, I understand." Qin Shaoyan glanced at Xiao Chen, "Have the administrative department recruited new people recently?" "I have recruited three newly graduated girls and look quite honest." Secretary Xiao Chen replied. "It seems that the work intensity was not saturated before." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "Please pay more attention to keep an eye on it. If you are too busy, you will be able to find an assistant yourself."
"Ah?" Secretary Xiao Chen was shocked, "Can the secretary still recruit assistants?"
"After all, you are the president's secretary. You can't be busy with so many things." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "Say hello to the Human Resources side and say I said it was." "Oh." Secretary Xiao Chen felt that he should really ask someone for help.
Mr. Qin now manages several companies alone, and he needs to review and sign several stacks of documents every day.
Game Company, Kuaibo.com, and School Network, and now there is a Weibo post.
The documents from each department were handed over to her first, and then she gave them priority to General Qin for review.
In addition to work, Mr. Qin also needs her to deal with some personal matters in life. This secretary is even more tiring than the president.
After experiencing Liao Danni's back stud last time, Xiao Chen gained experience in selecting an assistant.
We must find the kind of down-to-earth and reliable, and we know the truth. After all, we can always get a lot of commercial secrets around Mr. Qin, so we must be cautious in terms of candidates.
…
Qin Shaoyan walked into the reception room, Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan were chatting with tea cups, and it seemed that they were in good spirits.
"Mr. Qin is so courageous." Xiong Xiaoge began to tease when he saw Qin Shaoyan coming in, "I spend 60 million in a month. If it were any domestic Internet company, I'm afraid that no company would dare to make up this decision." "When you want to invest in high returns, you have to invest. The more capital you have, the more rewards you will get." Qin Shaoyan asked with a smile, "You two don't think I spent too much money and came to ask for guilt. Yes? "
"If we want to change someone else, we may have this idea, but I will not have any objection to you, Mr. Qin." Zheng Nan took the lead in expressing his supportive attitude, "From the current situation, Judging from the situation, Weibo has great potential. "
Weibo now has 80 million users, and almost half of netizens in the country have registered accounts on Weibo.
In terms of popularity, Weibo is the most popular and most used Internet product besides QQ and Baidu.
Having users means having traffic, and having traffic means having money. According to Weibo's situation, users will soon exceed 100 million, and by then the value of Weibo will be higher.
The stock price of Zhongnian.com is now rising rapidly, and the stock price has doubled in a month, all due to Weibo.
Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan felt so happy when they looked at the stock price curve. They felt that investing in Qin Shaoyan was the most correct decision in their career.
As for Qin Shaoyan burned 60 million in one month, they had no fluctuations in their hearts and even felt that it was not a big deal.
"Actually, the money spent is not that much. We have received a lot of advertisements recently, and the income is considerable." Qin Shaoyan explained casually, "At present, the pressure for Sina's Boji is a bit too high, I want to Make an advertising share plan."
"You can do this little thing yourself, there is no need to tell us." Xiong Xiaoge said indifferently.
He really doesn't care. Don't look at Weibo's fierce spending, his opponent is almost the same, and Sina seems to be a little unable to withstand it.
Xiong Xiaoge has heard a lot of news in the past two days. Some people want to pass the message through him and want to talk to Weibo.
Xiong Xiaoge said that he could not help. Although he invested money for Qin Shaoyan, he could not interfere with the other party's decisions.
Even if he can interfere, he is too lazy to care about it. Weibo is his own son. If you can't bear it, just lie down. Why are you still holding on?
The situation is very clear now, and Boji may not be able to beat Weibo. The only question is how long it can last.

Qin Shaoyan smiled and did not continue talking.
The "creation subsidy program" does cost a lot of money, but at least half of this money flows into the MCN's pocket, and these MCNs are all their own people.
The MCN company that Qin Shaoyan has in his hands not only makes money on Weibo, but also makes a lot of money on Sina.
So Qin Shaoyan didn't feel sorry for burning money on both sides. "Today I came to you mainly for Kuaibo.com to go public." Xiong Xiaoge changed the topic directly and talked enthusiastically about his second project to invest in Qin Shaoyan.
Speaking of which, although Qin Shaoyan is usually full of trains and is good at drawing big cakes, he never loses the chain in major events.
Campus Network and Kuaibo Network were listed one by one, which made Xiong Xiaoge very excited. The return on investment of this project exceeded his annual investment return.
"It's so much trouble for you to leave Kuaibo.com to the listing of Kuaibo.com." Qin Shaoyan was not very excited about Kuaibo.com's performance. "I have a lot of things, so I have to focus on Weibo. . "
"You won't go ringing the bell at Nasdaq?" Xiong Xiaoge was a little surprised.
"It's already knocked once, it's not interesting." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "And compared to Weibo, Kuaibo.com's priority is much lower."
Xiong Xiaoge Haha, "Your vision is getting higher and higher. You don't even look down on companies with a market value of billions of dollars."
"Huh?" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, "How much did you set the stock price of Kuaibo.com?"
"The issue price was $12." Zheng Nan smiled, "But I think I can try 15 USD. "
"The market value of Kuaibo.com can reach about 4 billion USD, which is not comparable to the campus network, but it is already a large company with a high market value in the domestic Internet."
Now the market value of the campus network has reached 20 billion US dollars, and this comparison makes Kuaibo Network look a bit small.
However, Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan were not disgusted at all. They had been preparing for a long time and wanted Kuaibo.com to replicate the campus online listing again.
So the founder of Qin Shaoyan, the video website, is very important. How can I play on the roadshow without him? "Mr. Qin, prepare another PPT." Xiong Xiaoge encouraged, "You founded Kuaibo.com, you can't favor one or the other."
"Yes, Mr. Qin. "Zheng Nan also followed the remarks, "You have followed the campus network all the way. There is no reason why Kuaibo Network will not go. This will make the employees feel cold." "
"Okay, OK." Qin Shaoyan Somewhat speechless, "Let me decide after seeing the situation. The main reason is that Weibo is really busy, and the competition with Sina Boji has entered a critical stage, so I can't get away."
Xiong Xiaoge also began to persuade him vigorously , let Qin Shaoyan take time to go for a roadshow.
Qin Shaoyan thought about it and finally agreed helplessly, "Then I will check the schedule."
"But I said yes, if things are urgent on Weibo, I will not be able to get through."
"Okay. Just say this with you." Xiong Xiaoge laughed, "Sina is not your opponent, you should prepare for PPT as soon as possible." "I'd better have this confidence "Qin Shaoyan teased.
Qin Shaoyan did not mention the matter about the US subprime mortgage crisis. He said it once last time, and the two of them reacted in a dull manner.
They may not believe this kind of thing, so why both of them mention it?
If you really have the intention, you will pay attention to it yourself. They know more about the news in the United States than Qin Shaoyan.
The three of them discussed the listing of Kuaibo.com for a long time, and finally left in a happy mood.
After seeing off Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan, they came over to inform him of a big news.
Sina also announced that it had increased its investment and put forward a stance to decide the outcome with Weibo.
Qin Shaoyan acted very casually in this regard, as if he thought it was an irrelevant thing.
I called Edward who was far away in the United States, "Tell those internet celebrities that you can start."
"Okay, boss." Edward hung up the phone and asked MCN The manager also has a lot of internet celebrities and said, "BOSS has spoken, and I'll give your fans free benefits from now on!"
"Take out all your photos of olnyfans!"
>…
After Sina Boji announced its new subsidy plan, the accounts of foreign internet celebrities became more active.
Internet celebrities from Tang Bure showed a more hot and enthusiastic side. The pictures I posted before were either swimsuits or edges, but today I directly posted large-scale exposed photos.
Of course, the exposed photos are not the kind of astringent feeling that directly reveals the spots, but a very artistic photo.
Boji users instantly became excited and flocked to see the foreign Bodhisattva to give benefits.
After a day, everyone's eyes were all on these foreign internet celebrities, and the data of others seemed particularly bleak.
Those who are engaged in key politics, military, finance, entertainment gossip, and jokesters are all very unhappy. They had watched the foreign Bodhisattvas give benefits with the mentality of watching the excitement, and even forwarded them.
But over time, they found that these foreign Bodhisattvas had absorbed all the flow and heat, and their data dropped by several levels.
If this continues, the money will be made away by foreign internet celebrities, so how can they have their share?
Some people just simply submit to Weibo, otherwise if this continues, the Boji platform will post pictures, so how can they eat?
The wild MCN who used to carry jokes before also found problems. Plagiarizing jokes is no longer profitable, so you have to post arbitrary pictures to get traffic.
So many people also launched the pictures, and they dug them from other places and copied them directly.
As long as you are willing to look for it, you can't stop someone from having any intention. The wild MCN company even went to foreign websites to steal pictures and post them to blogs.
The official of Boji is naturally very clear about this situation. They have made some comfort in the complaints and complaints of other bloggers, and have just warned foreign internet celebrities without any pain. .
You can just not post too much pictures, don’t post them so often.
After all, traffic is important. As long as there is traffic, they actually don’t mind what bloggers post, and users are still very welcome to these contents.
Wang Wei looked at the crazy rising data and was so happy that he couldn't stop talking, "Weibo, I see what you are fighting with us!"
When he was about to celebrate, Cao Guowei broke in with a gloomy face. His office, "What the hell are you doing?!"
"Ah, what's wrong, Mr. Cao?" Wang Wei was a little surprised. He looked at Cao Guowei with a wrong expression and instinctively realized that something was wrong. "The Cyberspace Administration of Information has come." Cao Guowei shouted angrily, "The above is to make rectifications, and you can see what you did!"
