Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 375 Talent Determines Everything

As soon as Fang Hong sent this email, it caused a sensation among the leadership, and every leader who received the email was excited.

Everyone wants to be a boss, everyone wants to build a career, and some even dream of building a trillion-dollar enterprise and controlling the situation as a partner.

Make people work for you and take bonuses until you die!

These temptations are so strong that many managers have burst out with great enthusiasm for work.

Many problems that were previously unsolvable were solved at once. For example, some viewers had reported that their videos on Bilibili and Chang'e Video were laggy.

Those leaders immediately urged their subordinates to put pressure on them to simplify the code structure and algorithm and reduce unnecessary calculation runs and loop calculations.

At the same time, it also reduces memory loss and CPU operation, making video viewing very smooth.

Of course this is assuming there are no network issues.

But now most of them are still 3G networks, and 4G networks will only become popular next year because licenses will only be issued to major operators this year.

There are always cheats in the game, so the Ministry of Justice took immediate action. Soon, a news item appeared in the social category: "Police cracked the entire chain of cheat cases, and the gang that produced and sold cheats for "Honor of Kings" was arrested."

This is also something that the leadership is urging to solve, because games are their only monetization channel. If this doesn't make money, then nothing can make money.
They must be killed or crippled, no discussion.

This is the motivation. It’s not that they don’t have the ability, but that they don’t have the motivation.

On the second day after the partners were announced, Hua Wei poached Xie Xin, also a technical expert who previously worked at Baidu and later at ByteDance.

But he no longer has the chance to go to ByteDance.

Xie Xin is a very capable person. It was he who proposed the idea of ​​developing a web crawler, and he also developed the website monitoring system.

It can monitor tens of millions of websites across the country 24 times a day.

In other words, as long as he wants, he can know what content has been updated on which Chinese website.

He came here and also worked in the technology department, responsible for technological innovation and internal tool development.

Internal tools include communication, document management, and team knowledge base. Any technology can be retrieved and applied in this knowledge base to avoid waste of resources.

There are also internal management tools, internal code management, online servers, etc.

From now on, Fang Hong will not use any external email platform to send emails, nor will he use WeChat to communicate with his management.

There is an internal communication platform and confidentiality work is strengthened.

It can be imagined that the people Fang Hong initially recruited from Chang'e Technology were not incompetent, but lacked motivation. Once they were motivated, their abilities would burst forth instantly.

This is Fang Hong’s leadership role. Only by motivating his people can the company remain vibrant.

In addition to Zhang Lidong, people including Zhang Nan, Gao Zhun, Yang Zhenyuan, Hong Dingkun, Hua Wei and others have maintained great enthusiasm. They are already in high positions and it is easier for them to achieve results and become partners.

Recently, Chang'e Technology made minor adjustments to senior management positions.

Zhang Nan will remain in charge of operations, and Gao Zhun will remain in charge of finances; Yang Zhenyuan will be in charge of recommendation algorithms, and Hong Dingkun will be in charge of search algorithms.

Hua Wei is in charge of human resources and works part-time as Fang Hong's assistant. He always takes a look at the people he recruits and who he wants to poach.

If it is a talent who has not yet emerged in the previous life, focus on recruiting him; if it is a powerful person you have heard of, focus on recruiting him.

This partnership system has also spread in high-end Internet circles and Internet academic circles. As long as you have some ambition and think you are awesome, you can give it a try.

Even Zhang Yiming saw the email from Chang'e Technology, which made him a little tempted.

Nothing else, they have money and a team, while he is just a little Karami.

The people who went to Chang'e Technology and the people who were poached were all people he had his eyes on, such as Zhang Lidong, Yang Zhenyuan, Hua Wei, Hong Dingkun, Xie Xin, etc.

Some people had agreed to come to his company, but after sending this email, they lost interest in him and continued to work at Chang'e Technology.

What if I can become a partner if I go there?
You, Zhang Yiming, still need to raise funds, find capital, and serve the capital. But the principal clearly stated that he does not need to look for capital. As long as they have the ability, he will distribute the equity to them and let them become the owners of the company.

The temptation is simply unmatched by other Internet companies.

Talent determines everything, talent comes first!

This is the current corporate culture of Chang'e Technology, simple and clear, rather than some empty talk about technology changing the world.

Zhang Yiming is still just a small-time entrepreneur now, and the monthly active users of the product he developed, Toutiao, are even lower than those of Bilibili.

Toutiao has only about 600 million monthly active users, which is considered a small achievement.

In the past life, the daily active users exceeded 100 million, which is almost the level of Xiaohongshu and Bilibili. Of course, they have Douyin, a traffic killer, so it is definitely different.

If Fang Hong had Douyin, a traffic killer, Bilibili and Xiaohongshu would be different. In fact, in the past, ByteDance had failed in many products except Douyin and Toutiao, and it also fell into the misunderstanding of Tencent. Xigua Video could not compete with Bilibili, and it could not compete with Xiaohongshu in terms of grass-roots products.

Croissants, Party Island, Identification Zone, Feichat, Dolphin, Time Album, and Wukong Questions and Answers all failed.

You are too superstitious about algorithms. Xiaohongshu and Bilibili have formed their own cultural communities, and their users are very sticky, which cannot be compared with algorithms.

Of course, if they can succeed and become one of the giants, they must have their merits, and these merits cannot be replaced or surpassed by others.

So this is why Fang Hong is trying hard to poach ByteDance people. For no other reason, he also wants to copy them!

It was also on this day that the first batch of 21 billion yuan of funds arrived from my uncle's bank. Fang Hong planned to invest billion yuan to build a data center with servers.

Previously, there were only one thousand machines, which was obviously not enough. Such a large amount of data could not be stored. Not to mention, an average of five thousand videos were uploaded to the small site every day.

And the data is constantly accumulating. How can we store such a large amount of data? We must build a server.

The reason why there is such a large amount of video uploads is that a certain threshold can be reached. If there are many views, money can be made, which gives ordinary people an extra income and motivation to enrich the content of the small site.

Of course, there are also marketing accounts, where many accounts have the same content and produce content in batches.

This cannot be managed for the time being, and it is not the right time to manage it.

Chang'e Technology cannot afford to build this billion-dollar data center at the moment, as the money will be used to acquire Shanda Literature, which must be completed this year.

Fang Hong transferred 2.8 million dollars, or million, from a flower grower in the United States as start-up capital to get through this year.

The box office profit of "The Fault in Our Stars" was already several million, and "The Purge 3" had a global box office of over 1.18 million US dollars.

That is a share of 2950 million dollars and a return of about 2 million.

This movie has been taken off the screen now. In September, "Moonlight" will be released, which is today, and it will be distributed by Universal.

Yu Xian also worked very hard and struggled very hard, but there was nothing he could do as his expenses were also high.

Fang Hong basically gives him two to three million dollars for each movie, which is equivalent to his film salary. If the box office is very high, it is possible to earn tens of millions of dollars.

Just transfer it directly from the flower-growing family’s fund pool.

Now the Flower Farm family has many film copyrights, and the copyright fee for each film earns at least tens of millions of dollars, so they can afford to pay him or reinvest.

Originally, the investment in Flower-Growing Family’s movies was not high.

Currently, 2.8 million is enough to buy land, build a house and lay the foundation, and pay the deposit for server equipment, just pay 20%.

Building a house is also simple, just like a factory building, it doesn't cost much. It is the data center equipment that is valuable. A server is not a single machine.

Instead, it is composed of a processor, memory, hard disk, and network interface, and has storage, computing, and networking capabilities.

This money also includes the air-conditioning system, because the biggest problem with data centers is heat dissipation, so an air-conditioning system is needed to keep the data center at a relatively low temperature.

Anyway, it consumes a lot of electricity. Not only the air conditioner consumes electricity, but the data server also consumes electricity. Huailai County is a large electricity-producing county and it cannot use up all its own electricity.

On September 9, Fang Hong met with Chen Tianqiao again to discuss the acquisition.

This time Chen Tianqiao looked haggard again, only because Shanda Literature had experienced high-level personnel changes. After a large number of novel authors left, Hou Xiaoqiang, who took over Shanda Literature, fell seriously ill.

These are all acts of revenge by others. The struggle is so brutal that I can't bear to watch it.

Fang Hong doesn't care about those things. What he wants is not the person, but the entire Shanda Literature, and then he just wants to survive.

This negotiation will revolve around the acquisition price, that is, the acquisition price of Shanda Literature.

In addition to Chen Tianqiao, also present at the negotiations were his wife and Hou Xiaoqiang, who took over Shanda Literature.

On Fang Hong's side are Gao Zhun, Zhang Lidong and three others.

Zhang Lidong is also in charge of investment, and his main role is as a partner. If he is not allowed to come, it would be a bit disrespectful to his opinion.

At least you have to pretend to do it!

He did not oppose the acquisition of Shanda Literature, simply because the literary market can produce IP, the giants are all involved, and they cannot fall behind.

It can be said that after becoming a partner, this ambition has expanded.

"Mr. Chen, long time no see. You don't seem to be in good spirits!"

Before the meeting started, Fang Hongxian asked about everyone's well-being, which showed that he was very confident.

Unlike before, when I saw these big shots, I couldn't help but feel a head shorter.
