Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 641: A left after BT
Where there is pain, there is laughter; where there is failure, there is victory.

At the end of May, in the conference room of the main building of Bi'an Science and Technology Park, a high-level meeting of Bi'an Group was underway.

What is different from usual is that there are two unfamiliar faces at the conference table today - Dai Wenyuan from Search and Wu Dan from Finance.

As usual, each business manager reported the progress of the meeting in turn:
WeChat Business Group: According to the plan at the beginning of the year, wake-up payment has been launched, and user feedback has exceeded expectations. The next step is to penetrate offline terminals. At the same time, the initial trial operation of mini-program games does not require downloading and can be played at any time. It has huge potential and financial prospects.

Game Division: "Glory of China" and "Glory of Mythology" were successfully integrated into "World of Glory". The "faction culture" formed by the player group under guidance is comparable to the Alliance and the Horde in "World of Warcraft", laying a perfect user foundation for the upcoming "Beyond the Esports World Cup".

After Chen Tong finished reporting on the business, he asked, "Moss, Didi Hitch has accumulated a lot of cases. When will it be launched?"

Chen Mo shook his head slightly: "We are in the hottest spot right now, so we shouldn't stir up any more trouble. Let's take a rest and wait until Xiaomi goes public next month."

"understand!"

After all the business reports were completed, Chen Mo stood up and looked around the room with his signature calm smile on his face:

"Comrades, we fought a great battle some time ago. This is a victory! Our search business has successfully reached the top and crushed Baidu. This is a historic moment worth remembering."

Warm applause broke out in the conference room, but Chen Mo immediately raised his hand to signal silence: "But victory requires a price, and we must be aware of it.

Shouzi, report the damage."

When the boss called his name, Zhou Shouzi projected the image on his computer screen and gave a synchronous explanation based on the data.

".Finally, because Bi'an Search is free to operate, the investment in the past few months has reached 50 billion yuan.

These include service area clusters, cloud computing resources, promotion costs, labor costs, plus a 10 billion public health assistance fund, etc.

Moreover, if the current operation continues, the monthly operating costs and expenses will be around 8 million to 10 billion, which will account for nearly 7% of the group's total revenue.

Now countless advertisers are coming to us, hoping to cooperate with Bi'an Search."

"It seems like someone is eager to turn us into the next Baidu."

Chen Mo chuckled, and then saw someone signaling him. He turned to the new executive and said, "Wen Yuan, do you have any ideas?"

Dai Wenyuan attended the group's highest-level meeting for the first time. He did not feel uncomfortable or nervous and expressed his suggestions and opinions.
"Regarding the commercialization of search engines, I have a plan."

"Well, tell me about it."

Dai Wenyuan walked to the projection screen and started with a violent statement, "In fact, I think Baidu has gone astray in its commercialization. Baidu has mistaken tools for ends. Phoenix Nest Technology is innocent, but the fault lies with people's hearts."

As soon as these words came out, they attracted everyone's attention. Chen Mo showed an interested expression and said, "Tell me more about it."

“As for the commercialization of Baidu, I thought deeply about it when I was in charge of the Phoenix Nest system at Baidu.

In fact, advertising is not the only monetization path for search engines for C-end users.

Especially now that we have integrated the high-quality resources of Bilibili and Zhihu, there are a large number of high-quality videos and articles on the platform, and we can fully develop membership subscription and professional content payment services
Dai Wenyuan's voice echoed clearly in the conference room, and he continued to explain:

"Not only that, for B-side corporate customers, we can provide search technology licensing services and customize exclusive search engine solutions for them. For vertical fields such as finance and medical care, we can also develop paid professional data retrieval and analysis tools."

He pulled up an architectural diagram, and the red dot of the laser pen drew a clear track on the projection screen:

"More importantly, Bi'an Search can grow into a strategic platform on the same level as WeChat, accurately directing traffic to the group's businesses such as Ele.me, JD.com, TikTok, and games, and dividing revenue according to actual conversion results."

"Finally, let's get back to the advertising business itself," Dai Wenyuan pushed up his glasses, "We don't have to throw the baby out with the bathwater and completely abandon advertising. Instead, we should use the Longyuan AI system, the corporate whitelist system, search layered display, and intelligent monitoring mechanisms to ensure that high-quality ads appear in the right places.

As long as it is handled properly, users will not only not be disgusted, but will actively accept it, but this is a later plan."

His tone gradually became excited: "After realizing these ideas, we will establish a brand new search business ecosystem, which is the ideal 'search derivative economy' model. By then, Bi'an Search will not only be able to achieve self-sufficiency, but also feed back to the entire group ecosystem!"

Warm applause rang out in the conference room. Chen Mo took the lead in applauding, and other executives cast approving glances at the new member. Sure enough, everyone who could appear here had their own characteristics.

When the applause died down, Chen Mo nodded slightly: "Well said. It's a good opportunity to announce several important decisions."

He looked around the room and said, "First of all, Wen Yuan's presence here today must have made everyone understand what it means. The group has decided to split the original search division into an independent company and establish the Beyond Search Company, which will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the group.

Dai Wenyuan was promoted to vice president of the group and concurrently serves as CEO of Bi'an Search.

Remember, Bi'an Search must keep its mission in mind, stay true to its original aspiration, and provide people with reliable and clean search results! "

Dai Wenyuan immediately stood up, his expression solemn: "Understood!"

Chen Mo made a "yeah" gesture, "For the second personnel adjustment, the group will set up an international business group to coordinate global resources.

Li Jianchao was transferred to the position of president of the business group, and his former position as CEO of Bi'an International was taken over by current CFO Zhou Shouzi.

The position of Group CFO was promoted from former Senior Financial Director Wu Dan. ”

He glanced at the schedule and said, "All personnel changes will be completed by the end of June. The HR department will notify you of the specific arrangements separately." In fact, before the meeting, Chen Mo had already negotiated the remuneration with the relevant executives one by one:

The cash portion of Zhou Shouzi's annual salary is approximately 500 million yuan, and with dividends and option incentives, the total package is approximately 1 million yuan.

Wu Dan’s annual salary was increased from 200 million to 300 million, with a total package of 2000 million.

Li Jianchao was transferred back to the headquarters with the same salary, about 5000 million yuan. Chen Mo originally planned to demote him, but then he remembered that he had another thing to be responsible for, so he kept it unchanged.

All employment contracts have been signed. This announcement is just a formal procedure. Xu Peixin from the Human Resources Department will notify the entire group later.

"The third thing is about the public treatment fund," Chen Mo changed the subject. "Although we invested 10 billion yuan, more than half of it was consumed in just half a month. The national major disease assistance cannot be borne by enterprises alone.

Therefore, I decided to upgrade the Crowd Therapy Fund to the 'Same Shore Together' program."

Afterwards, Chen Mo explained to everyone present how he had taken the essence of 'Shui Di Chou' after studying and judging it with reference to Tianji Pavilion. He said that if he followed the path of Shui Di Chou, the Shui Di Chou, which was full of the smell of money, would have no way to go.

“.Those who donate money can get points from the other shore, which can be used to exchange for related products from the other shore, etc.
After the establishment, we contacted the authorities to discuss the establishment of a medical alliance database, monthly disclosure of fund flows, and the introduction of a third-party regulatory agency for full supervision.
Finally, the vision of the Tongzhou Project is to "make kindness worthwhile and make rescue more efficient!"

Li Jianchao, I leave this matter to you, don't let me down!"

He turned to Li Jianchao and said, "This project is in your hands."

Li Jianchao nodded calmly: "Understood, I will do my best."

"Any other questions?" Chen Mo glanced at the audience. "If not, the meeting is adjourned."

The executives left one after another, and those who needed to report individually stayed behind voluntarily - this had become an unspoken working understanding among them.

Not long after Chen Mo returned to the office, Zhou Shouzi knocked on the door and came in.

The issue of shorting Baidu, which was not convenient to discuss in detail in the previous meeting, can now finally be reported separately.

"Boss, the market has closed. Baidu's market value has dropped from 800 billion before the incident to more than 400 billion. We have made a total profit of 30.46 billion US dollars this time."

When he mentioned this number, his voice trembled slightly.

This was the first time in his career that he had managed such a large amount of funds.

According to his conservative estimate, he should have stopped after making a profit of 10 billion, but in the end he chose to unconditionally implement his boss's decision.

Looking back now, the rule circulating within the group is still in effect: "The chairman's words must be right. If you don't understand, please refer to the first rule."

Therefore, he was even more impressed by his boss's courage and ability to strategize. He reviewed the whole thing privately and was still wondering how the situation had turned upside down?
There must be many things he can't see, but he is not curious because he is not a cat.

"Well done." Chen Mo tapped the table. "The remainder will be yours, and the rest will be used as funds for the overseas expansion of Beyond International."

Anyway, the group's domestic cash flow is sufficient and it is not short of money. Besides, if those who try every means to secretly transfer assets abroad hear this, they will cry if they want to transfer the money back to the country.

This shocked Zhou Shouzi and touched him deeply. The boss gave him a raise, a decentralization, and a bonus of 2 million RMB. This series of actions made him realize that if he took this money, he would never be able to leave the other side again in his life.
But knowing that there is someone who will always follow him, Zhou Shouzi has no hesitation, "Understood! I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Meanwhile, Tencent headquarters in Shenzhen.

Xiao Ma Ge, who had not returned home since the Spring Festival, finally sorted out the company's affairs.

The brand new Tencent is setting off on a new journey with light equipment.

In his spare time at work, he always paid attention to the latest developments of the 2B war, and only lent a symbolic hand when it was absolutely necessary.

But he is very principled, that is, try not to get involved, maintain an independent and neutral attitude, and watch the fight from the sidelines.

Just like the Sword Contest at Mount Huashan, where two great masters were dueling, all he could do was lend a hand and give some hints occasionally.

Perhaps the products are much more user-friendly than before, or perhaps intelligent and manual customer service are set up to listen to users' voices. In addition, all employees focus on their work, the company's performance and data in all aspects have shown visibly growth.

Although the dividends to shareholders may have shrunk a lot this year.
What is even more intriguing is that since Tencent began its transformation, the pressure from the other side has quietly dissipated.

As a native southerner, Xiao Ma Ge is well aware of the "Putian Group" looming behind this incident.

Even someone of his status would not dare to venture into the deep waters of that field.

But looking at the overall situation, even though he saw through Chen Mo's many tactics, the final outcome still shocked him.

The direction of this battle is truly magical: the other side fell into crisis, the other side made one stupid move after another, the other side struggled to hold on, and the other side won. How did they do it?
"It seems that we need to re-evaluate the background of the other side." Brother Ma looked out the window and muttered to himself, "This is obviously not a chess game that GZW can handle."

As Tencent completed its transformation, Baidu fell behind and the new BAT pattern has taken shape.

Just based on the one-stop e-commerce industry chain currently displayed by the Bi'anhao Alliance, one can imagine the situation that Lao Ma may face.

A smile appeared on Xiao Ma's lips - the second half of the Internet world will surely be more exciting
