Chapter 178 The Age of Gangsters
After thinking about it for a while, Xie Wen felt that this idea was not bad.
"Mr. Wu, thank you very much for your answer today. If you are willing, we hope you can join Hongmeng Literature."
Wu Wenhui's face showed joy.
“What role can I take if I join?”
"Currently, our company has two websites, Hongxiu Tianxiang and Huanjian Shumeng, which target women's and men's online novels respectively. If you are willing to join, you will serve as the director of the Huanjian Shumeng website.
Basic salary 1800, with monthly performance bonuses and dividends at the end of the year.”
“I do.”
Wu Wenhui did not hesitate.
This condition is much better than what he had in Fang.
Xie Wen stood up and stretched out his right hand.
“Welcome to the Hongmeng family.”
“This is my honor.” After a pause, “But I have to resign from Founder before I can officially join your company.”
"Okay."
After the conversation, Xie Wen left.
Responsible for the daily management of Hongmeng, he still has a lot to do.
Come to Xu Liang’s office.
Hand over the documents.
“This is the list of Hongmeng Literature positions we have drawn up.”
Xu Liang took it and took a look.
Wu Wenhui, director of Fantasy Sword Book Alliance, and Lin Tingfeng, editor-in-chief.
Huang Yanming, director of Hongxiu Tianxiang, and Hu Huijuan, editor-in-chief.
“Where’s that wandering toad?”
He still remembers this unique name.
"His family is from S Yang. He didn't want to go to the capital and refused our solicitation." Xie Wen said.
Xu Liang was relieved and returned the document.
"How's the negotiation going under the banyan tree?"
"William Zhu offered $5 million, which I think is too high. I want to hang him out for a while, if he still bites me. If you don’t want to let go, I suggest we build one ourselves.”
Xu Liang nodded.
Five million dollars is indeed too expensive.
You must know that since the establishment of the two websites, Huanjian Shumeng and Hongxiu Tianxiang, they have acquired more than 50 personal websites, and the total spent on them is only more than 6 million Chinese coins.
“Just do what you want.”
“Where is Dragon’s Sky?”
“The other party refused to sell.”
“Interesting, look. He is ambitious." Xu Liang said with a smile, "But if you refuse, just refuse. We will develop Huanjian Shumeng and Hongxiu Tianxiang first, and we will talk about the rest later."
After Xie Wen nodded, "The 'Heart of Darkness' Wu Wenhui is indeed the best candidate to serve as the CEO of Hongmeng Literature in the future. The VIP system he proposed and the basic living security plan for writers are very insightful.
If implemented, it will bring the development of Hongmeng Literature to a higher level."
Xu Liang nodded slightly.
"Let him serve as the director of the Fantasy Sword Book Alliance for a period of time to see how good he is. If he really has superior management talents, let him take the position. If not, then examine others."
“Understood.”
"Lao Xie, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"What?"
"About the company's management structure. Over the past year, Hongmeng's business has expanded Dozens of times. We need to sort it out again. And I plan to start the company’s first financing in six months.”
Xie Wen was a little surprised. decision.
Xu Liang nodded affirmatively.
“Although we are not short of money now, it is only relative to domestic business. If we want to continue to expand internationally, financing is necessary.
And we also need more strength. , to protect Hongmeng’s development.”
Xie Wen nodded.
For more than a year, the reason why Hongmeng has been developing smoothly and has not encountered much criticism is that it is not strong and not very attractive.
The other is the general environment of the Nasdaq crisis, which makes capital very uncertain about the future of the Internet.
But as Hongmeng continues to develop, although the Nasdaq crisis remains, the scale of Hongmeng itself makes it difficult for them to ignore it.
If they cannot find a few more powerful helpers, they may encounter policy risks.
The last attack by IDG is an example.
“I plan to divide Hongmeng into two independent entities, Hongmeng China and Hongmeng International.
Hongmeng China only does China business. Hongmeng International houses all our international businesses. The two individuals independently raised funds, which started half a year later. "Xu Liangdao.
After listening, Xie Wen asked after thinking for a moment.
"Hongmeng International is only a listed legal person, or does it need to improve its leadership? "
"It only exists as a legal person, and the management rights of each subsidiary still maintain the current model. "Xu Liangdao.
The reason why he established Hongmeng International is to share the cake, build relationships, and protect Hongmeng's overseas development. If he does not win over those powerful international capitals.
< br>
Just competitors can unite with local forces and eat up Hongmeng.
Especially Uncle Sam, an old gangster.
If you can’t beat it, then you will resort to sanctions.
Xu Liang also had to guard against it. "As for domestic business, further clarification is needed.
No. 1 store, peripheral products plus vertical e-commerce.
Bing, Internet search.
Pangu, application software; includes browser, website directory, Hongmeng payment, and Internet cafe management software.
Finally, there is Hongmeng, which focuses on pan-entertainment, including games, literature, comics, film and television, and music.
In order to focus on the main business, reduce decision-making levels and improve efficiency.
I plan to turn Yihaodian, Bing and Pangu into subsidiaries and decentralize management rights. The head office will only be responsible for strategic decision-making and financial supervision, and the specific development will be decided by the presidents of the subsidiaries. "
Xie Wen pondered for a moment, "I agree with your decision in principle, but such a big change may cause a lot of discussion within the company. ”
“It is normal to have discussions. Xu Liang pondered for a moment, "Let's do this. After the decision is announced, I will hold an internal meeting for all middle-level and above employees in the company to unify their thinking. "
Xie Wen nodded.
"I have a question? ”
"You say."
"The president of No. 1 store is Qian Santai, and Bing is Yu Jun. Who should Pangu let go? Zhou Kun or Xia Wei?
If Zhou Kun, He is on the same level as Hong Tao, Director of Internet Cafe Management Software Development Department, and Shang Zhengfeng, Director of Hongmeng Payment.
If it is Xia Wei, as the senior vice president of the group, he is indeed qualified.
But if. He went to Pangu, so will the interactive entertainment business be directly managed by the group?”
Xu Liang has already considered this issue.
"Pangu Company asked Zhou Kun to go. The monthly revenue of the website he manages has exceeded 10 million. It is the second largest source of profit within the company after games. It is appropriate to promote him.
As for Xia Wei, I want him to explore the European market
In addition, Hong Tao, the director of Internet cafe management software, is promoted to vice president of the group, so that he can be fully familiar with the group's overall business and help the company develop business in other regions. Get ready.”
Xie Wen nodded.
Hong Tao is also an old man in the company. He has worked hard over the years. Although the Internet cafe management software has never been profitable due to company policies, it has occupied 90% of the Internet cafes in the country.
He has made great contributions to the development of the company.
You are indeed qualified for promotion.
“When will we enter Europe?”
“After we get the financing.”
The European market is no better than that of Asia. These old capitalist countries have well-established systems and without sufficient funds, it is difficult to open up the situation.
Furthermore, Xu Liang did not know the success or failure of his march into Europe.
So he must use other people's money to protect himself.
After the two talked about the specific content of Hongmeng’s business adjustments, Xie Wen left.
Xu Liang called Hongmeng Chief Technology Officer Shen Weiguo over.
"Mr. Xu."
"Sit."
After waiting for the other party to sit down, Xu Liang smiled and said: "I heard from Lao Xie that Pangu Browser can be launched smoothly this time. You "You're welcome. As a member of the company, this is what I should do."
Xu Liang nodded, "I don't know much about computers. , so I have a question for you.”
"You said."
"Now our Internet cafe management software has occupied more than 90% of the Internet cafe market across the country. So I want to know if I can remotely control the Internet cafe computers through the Internet cafe management software, and directly Download our company's application software to the desktop of the Internet cafe computer?
Even set Pangu browser directly as the homepage of IE browser through the Internet cafe management software? "
Shen Weiguo nodded. .
“Yes. However, this kind of thing has been going on for a long time, and it is difficult to hide it. Once it is exposed, will it have an impact on our company’s reputation?”
"You don't have to worry about this."
If it were ten years later, Xu Liang might hesitate.
But now is the barbaric era of the Chinese Internet, and it will soon enter an era where rogue plug-ins are everywhere.
If you don’t go rogue, others will go rogue. Bad money drives out good money.
So, we cannot be bound by etiquette and morality at this time.
"Then I'll go back and prepare right away."
Xu Liang waved his hand, "First download our company's client to all the computers in the Internet cafes. Don't touch the IE homepage in advance.
Also , when downloading the client, don’t download it all at once. It’s too conspicuous and easy to be discovered. Next one a week, take your time.”
“Okay.”
Xu Liang waved his hand.
Shen Weiguo left.
The office also returned to quiet.
Xu Liang picked up a pen and wrote the names ‘Website Encyclopedia’ and ‘Pangu Browser’ in his notebook.
There was thought in his eyes.
The website directory is more like the initial stage of the browser. Now that Hongmeng has the Pangu browser with more advanced technology and more comprehensive functions, there is no need to keep the website directory.
"It looks like we need to do a good job."
We must take advantage of the current profit-making period of the website to sell it at a high price, otherwise we will wait until Pangu Browser spreads and the website's growth will be sluggish before we try to sell it. It's not easy.
Thinking of this, I picked up the phone and called Xie Wen.
"Lao Xie, you don't have to go to Sina's shareholders' meeting. I'll go there. ... I have nothing else to do. Just be busy."
After examining it for a while, Xu Liang wrote The paper containing the website encyclopedia and Pangu browser was stuffed into the shredder. It started at one o'clock and was soon cut into pieces.
After doing this, Xu Liang got up and put on his coat.
Drove to the Red Rock Fund on the ninth floor of the Fukai Building.
