Su Yong Chuan

()Chapter 67, the monkey in the forest

"Xiuying, Melon is online today. As the founder, don't you have anything to say?"

In front of the long-legged girl who came back to her senses, there was only Papa Cui sitting firmly on the sofa.On the other side, I don't know what method Cui's father used, but Sister Cui has obediently disappeared at this time, and even the messy tea sets have been cleaned up.

"In general, there are no obvious problems, just some small mistakes in the corners, and those are harmless." Thinking of the certification mark "like a light bulb on top" that Yu Yongzhen complained about, the girl with long legs There is some urge to laugh. "On the contrary, because it is a 'public beta', it is not necessary to make it so perfect, let the users find faults, and then let them see the quick response and quick correction of the website management, which will give them a sense of accomplishment. It is very helpful to improve the loyalty of users."

Papa Cui nodded, then asked with a sudden smile, "You brought your computer to the company today, how did your company's trainees react?"

At the beginning, Cui Xiuying, who had never spent a lot of money, suddenly applied to Cui's father to buy a newest ThinkPad ultra-thin X-type laptop computer. Cui's mother was very opposed at first.Although the money was earned by the daughter herself, the family already has several computers, and it seems completely unnecessary to buy another ultra-portable one.

Unexpectedly, Papa Cui didn't say anything, and approved it with a big wave of his hand. He even asked Driver Fan to buy one with the highest configuration. The most important thing is that Papa Cui paid for it himself.For this reason, Cui's mother also complained a lot about Cui's father.At that time, Papa Cui just listened with a smile and didn't refute. At this moment, the long-legged girl finally understood indirectly, Papa Cui's understanding and support for her.

"I feel that most people's reactions are very good, especially after discovering the relatively novel settings of the family channel, everyone is very interested. If you are interested, this is the best news for us. I have always believed that, Hobbies are the best salesmen.” In fact, not only in Yu Yongzhen’s recording studio, girls with long legs seem to “inadvertently” turn on the computer and go online in many places.As soon as the website full of advanced design elements was displayed, it did attract many people to stop and watch. Among them, some trainees who had acquaintances came up to make friends and asked what website it was.

As for whether the target of the other party is a website or a person, it is not known.

But this at least proves that the new version of melon is eye-catching enough, isn't it?

"It seems that the guys from the design team are working hard, and they have lived up to your good ideas." Papa Cui nodded.

"It's not disappointing~" Just when I was about to introduce in detail, those people I saw who came into contact with melon for the first time, and when I was most interested, the long-legged girl suddenly recalled the time when Yu Yongzhen introduced melon. During the period, there was a slightly abnormal reaction.Cui Xiuying thought about it, and decided to express her doubts, "But Dad, there are still a lot of smart people in this world. It's not like no one will be able to detect our purpose behind music sales."

"Well, I understand what you said, but this is a public conspiracy. There is nothing hidden about what we are going to do. Everything is laid out for everyone's eyes. And through these, I also hope that these The entertainment company understands that we are not predators, we have opened up a new channel, and we are 'partners' to help them further shape the star culture. Both sides benefit from cooperation, and everyone can be more candid in communication."

Having said that, Papa Cui frowned suddenly, apparently thinking of something. "But people are self-interested. Every company is like a mountain forest. Every monkey in the forest has its own plans. Even if it represents the interests of the majority of people, there will always be a small number of people for various reasons. I will feel unsatisfied. It is impossible to satisfy everyone in anything. If we have to persuade one by one, these cannot be achieved overnight. Now that several major entertainment companies can work together on the surface, for us, it is already It’s a very crucial step, things have to be done step by step, we can’t push too much.”

"If you look at it this way, we now have a very urgent matter, or rather, a shortcoming that needs to be resolved." Speaking of this, the long-legged girl's expression was very cautious.

"You mean..." Papa Cui, who has always been in charge of Melon's overall progress, naturally quickly understood his little daughter's doubts, "Music resources?"

"Yes, in this regard, even if we have no other way, we have to find a way to solve it. Now let's not say that it is like yg who is probing around, or jyp is doing his own calculations, even if it is like me..., s· In this way, the one who authorized the entire music library is actually nothing more than a contract in the final analysis, and they have various ways to not perform their obligations, or to tear up the contract in disguise, so we cannot be controlled by others in this regard.”

"That's true, but being able to do something like YG is already the best talker we've met."

For Cui's father's confusion, the long-legged girl seemed to have a well-thought-out plan. She quickly clicked a few times on the computer beside her, and then smiled. "Actually, Dad, your eyes are too focused on those big brokerage companies. You know, sometimes looking at it as a whole, two fives and ten ones are actually the same."

"Oh, you already have a solution?"

"First of all, the reason why big companies have a tough attitude is because they have their own perfect channels, like a self-sufficient complete ecosystem, they can live well on their own, and don't need to ask others. Even now there is an extra For them, the new road opened up is nothing more than a small addition. Although I firmly believe that their ideas are backward and wrong, this is their current attitude. If you don’t ask others, then Negotiating with them will naturally be very difficult." The long-legged girl shrugged helplessly, even though music sales became popular, some companies, such as sm, persisted in physical sales.

But all of this can ultimately be proved by history.

"However, big companies don't mean everything. South Korea is an entertainment country. There are countless small and medium-sized companies in this market. They may be established today, or they may go bankrupt tomorrow, but they are a part of this market after all. No matter how strong the big companies are, they can eat 30.00% of the market, so the remaining [-]%, as long as we can hold all of them, it will be a huge cake.” The more thoughts in my heart said Thinking more clearly, the long-legged girl licked her lips with a sly smile, and then turned the screen of the thinkpad_x in her hand.

"The current market situation is that small and medium-sized companies generally lack sales channels, so they can only make finished products and entrust special channel dealers to sell them. There are not no companies targeting this market, and now there is one that is doing very well. Although these small and medium-sized companies understand that they will inevitably suffer losses if they are restrained by others, they are surrounded by hunting dogs. It is nothing more than how much they have lost, so they actually have no choice. Then, at this time, a new road suddenly appeared, For them, it may be a life-saving way, a way to survive."

"Ybm_seoul_records, the largest record company in Korea, with a market share of about... 17%?" Papa Cui looked at the content of the webpage displayed on the 12-inch screen, rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Hmm... It is indeed a good way to attract scattered small and medium-sized companies by adding new sales channels, but it is inevitable that there will be a see-saw process. In fact, there is a more labor-saving and quicker way to buy them directly. For example, We will control YBM."

... Well, this is your way of being rich and powerful, and it really hits the nail on the head.

Faced with Papa Cui's high profile, the long-legged girl only felt that her grades had suddenly dropped, and she was still at the stage of playing tricks and tricks, and was far from reaching the advanced level of convincing others with power and pushing forward with dignity.So the girl had no choice but to raise her eyebrows, "Uh, that is indeed much simpler, and if Dad's company has the financial strength to do so, it is indeed much more direct..., accumulating a small amount of money is just one aspect, other than that, we You can also make your own share~!"

Then, the long-legged girl changed the topic neatly.

"Dad, you know that art and business are always two concepts. Those who can make music well may not know how to manage music. Teacher Yu Yongzhen also said that music can only be considered half of the success. Excellent promotion, in fact, is nothing in the end. So a lot of well-done music, maybe just because of lack of promotion, can only end up in obscurity and being forgotten.”

The long-legged girl switched the page of the computer browser, then pointed to the conspicuous icon of the music_warehouse sub-section under the Melon homepage, and continued. "Now that we have launched a platform for these people to display, we can also use our own capital and channel advantages to push these neglected ones to the foreground and make these forgotten pearls shine again."

"In the final analysis, instead of ten birds in the forest and waiting for other people's blood transfusion, it is better to have one bird in hand and we can make blood~! Not only can we invest in small music companies with strength but poor management, we can even use the banner of Melon, We can finance some talented newcomers by ourselves. At that time, we will have an excellent and sufficient music resource base, and in turn, I believe it will also affect those few big entertainment companies. Everyone does not rely on each other, but, Come with us and earn more money~!"

The long-legged girl ended her speech with great enthusiasm, and then saw Papa Cui lost in thought again. The girl knew that although what she said was passionate and simple, it was practical, how to put it into real business operations, and how to arrange specific arrangements. What kind of person needs to be assigned to be in charge of the project is really a complex and rigorous project, which requires a lot of careful thinking.So the long-legged girl calmed down and didn't continue talking, and continued to browse Melon casually.

Seeing a few new songs on the homepage, and the data looked pretty good, Cui Xiuying suddenly remembered the detailed song data and the excellent graphic expressions she saw when refreshing the data page in the recording studio today, the girl couldn't help but said: "Dad, the data that went online today shows that it has done a great job. It has almost done everything I didn't expect. This is really professional, and it is the kind of approachable professional. This is the same as the old website. Those are not the same as ri, is this a new team recruited by the company?"

Papa Cui recovered from his thoughts, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "Last time you said about splitting the team and cross-investing, the company has already started operation. But considering the confidentiality and... Tongli Xing , This matter was reported to the headquarters of the group, and your grandfather ordered a special project team to be set up to operate it. I am now the person in charge of this team."

"Isn't this great? Integrating resources to do e-commerce, this is what you want to do, Dad? And this should be regarded as the head of the department? But is it a promotion?" The long-legged girl looked delighted.

But Cui's father didn't have much joy on his face. He looked at his daughter calmly, and continued slowly: "As the first product to go online, melon is undoubtedly a benchmark. We put the fundamental All of the capital was hidden, and then fully referred to the operating method of the international IT company, split the company's apparent capital into different shares of equity, and each designated a corresponding equity manager on the apparent aspect, these people do not know each other More people form the board of directors, responsible for the decision of major events, as for the operation of the company, it will be completely managed by the CEO."

"This data team was brought by the new CEO?" Cui Xiuying vaguely understood what Papa Cui meant.

"Yes, this person's name is Jiang Zhongming, and he came from your grandfather's head office. This data team is said to be his nomination certificate, and it took a lot of effort to establish it." Cui's father nodded, rubbed his chin and said, Also thinking. "The first thing he did after he came was to take over the database, and then he didn't do anything, and ran according to the original plan we had set."

Oh, it turned out to be an ambitious monkey in the forest again.

"Dad, this Jiang Zhongming, does he know the whole plan?"

"I don't know, his position is Melon's CEO, and he is responsible for making good achievements and increasing the value of the shareholders' assets. Apart from the top few people in charge of the team, you are probably the only one who knows about this plan. "

"However, with his actions, to what extent have we achieved and how has the market reacted, all of which have been blocked by him, and father's control over melon has been weakened a lot?" The long-legged girl looked at the frowning of Cui's father, and continued Said: "And more importantly, in the online world, everything is illusory, only numbers are real. How many songs are bought are numbers, how many netizens are numbers, and even money is just a bunch of rolling numbers."

"That's right." Papa Cui raised the corners of his mouth suddenly, and said in a relaxed tone: "It seems that Papa has to work hard, and we can't lose our Xiuying's little melon."

Seeing Papa Cui's calm and confident expression, the long-legged girl couldn't help but feel a little sad for that Jiang Zhongming.This is the disadvantage of information asymmetry. Some people try their best to forge ahead and do everything seamlessly. Who knows that they will find out in the end that they are digging their own foundation.

Perhaps, even after the house collapsed, a more magnificent building appeared on his original site, he would not know the truth.

"What my little melon is the pathfinder for your big plan, Dad~." Cui Xiuying bought Maimeng, cheered up Cui's father indirectly, and then said seriously: "I just hope that Dad understands that e-commerce It is fundamentally different from your previous business operations. But..." At this point, the long-legged girl put on a sly smile again, "As long as Dad does things 'not in a hurry', everything's done. "Grasp·hold" and "not·hold·one·grid", I am still very optimistic about you, Dad~!"

"Okay, are you giving back what Dad taught you, and giving it back to Dad?"

"Dad, you don't know, this trick is a long-lost stunt in ancient China, Gusu Murong's "Take the way of the other, and return it to the other body (Chinese)"~" The long-legged girl casually posed Similar flower stand.

"But you made a mistake in saying something just now. This is indeed your little melon, and there are benefits for you here." Ignoring his daughter's antics, Cui's father suddenly said coldly.

"Huh?" The long-legged girl looked stunned.

"As I said just now, the company's capital has been split into different shares," Cui's father suddenly smiled slyly. I was taken by surprise, but what Dad Cui said next turned this "little" accident into a "big" one. "One of these shares is yours."

The original equity holder of melon~!

"...That's not good, Dad." The long-legged girl's immediate reaction was not happy, but frowned, "After all, this project is now led by Grandpa's group headquarters, so it is easy to cause misunderstandings? "

"Well, after hearing the news, you first thought about the pros and cons, which is very good." Papa Cui nodded appreciatively. "This is not my idea. My original idea was to give you some material rewards, which would be the patent licensing fee for buying ideas. Who knew that after your grandfather knew my idea, he would directly transfer part of the equity to your name. Yes, it's a birthday present for you."

..., Is this the spirit of the president of the group company headquarters, making up a birthday gift, such a big deal.

"It's useless to give me the equity. I'm not yet an adult, so I have to entrust management in the end. Or just transfer it to Dad? You just give me more pocket money every year." Cui Xiuying has not yet realized that Cui Xiuying Dad said exactly how much "a part of the equity" is, until after a while, when he remembered it again, he almost had a big oolong.

"No, since I'm in charge of this project, it's better not to disturb some of the well-divided 'territories'." Cui's father has completely regarded his little daughter as an equal object that can be talked freely, and he doesn't mind that the little girl advances. Expose some of the trading rules under the table. "So I entrusted your equity to a suitable person to manage."

Seeing her father showing that proud and cunning expression again, Cui Xiuying reacted immediately, and blurted out a name: "Jiang Zhongming!"

The father and daughter looked at each other tacitly, and then laughed silently together.
