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

Chapter 440 Why do you mess with him when you can mess with anyone else?

"Hello? Brother Jun, are you interested in these two projects? Would you like to invest a little money? Damn, if you want suggestions, come to Xiaomi. If you need money, come to me, right? OK OK"

"Come on, brother. When my brother has something good to say, he thinks of you first. No problem, right? We can talk about it in detail when we meet~"

"Brother Hao, look at what you said. I still remember that you packed my first meal for me. It was a small thing for you, but it was a heroic act for me.
Who are we going to follow? You are the first person I think of when something good happens. Yes, there is a good project. Oh, yes, yes, yes, you don’t want to know the details of the investment? OK, I will contact you next month. "

"Boss Xiong, I've been waiting for a long time. I can see your sincerity and I'm touched. You're the first investor I thought of for financing a project under the Beyond Bank. OK, see you then."

"Hi, Yuri, my good homie"

"Mr. Zhang." "Brother Qin." "Brother Wei."

"Dongzi, it's nothing, I just want to tell you that I'm going to give Jingdong a good beating."

Chen Mo spent the entire afternoon exchanging various emotional messages with him. His cell phone bill was almost in arrears since he had an overseas number after all.

The people on the other end of the line were all friends in the investment industry that Chen Mo had made over the past few years, including Xu Dalai of Shunwei Capital, Tong Shihao of Qiming Venture Partners, Liu Qin of Morningside Venture Capital, Xiong Xiaoge of IDG, Yuri Milner of DST, Zhang Lei of Hillhouse Capital, and Wang Wei of SF Express.
Needless to say, Xiong Xiaoge, Zhang Lei and Yuri Milner, these three have been eagerly waiting for me to give them projects in the past. After all, Bi'an succeeds every time it does one, and for these money-hungry people like them, the temptation is too great.

So much so that Chen Mo would avoid the three brothers when he saw them in public later, feeling like a deadbeat who owed them money.
In fact, any of the above companies can easily afford these hundreds of millions, but what Chen Mo values ​​is this cooperative relationship and the energy behind these people.

After making a round of phone calls, Chen Mo had a feeling that he was just trying to get by with his reputation. These people didn’t seem to care much about the project at all. They were investing in him rather than the project.

This is quite consistent with my investment philosophy. It is true that birds of a feather flock together.

Next is the stage of traveling all over the world. Fortunately, Changping Airport near Shahe in the north has been built. This is a small civil and commercial airport jointly built by Bi'an and the CP District Government. Now we are waiting for the arrival of the large aircraft for inspection.
Originally, they offered experienced flight attendants, but Chen Mo rejected them. The captain and security personnel will select them themselves in the country.

However, the flight attendant asked Gulfstream to help with the selection. After all, they were an established company that had been operating for many years, so they should be given some face. Of course, their resources were much richer than his.

I just don't know whether his requirement for the stewardess to have outstanding appearance and excellent service attitude was conveyed to her or whether she understood it.
In fact, Chen Mo had a phone call to make, but when he saw the clock hands on the wall, he saw that it was getting close to the end of get off work time.

What a fulfilling day it was. Chen Mo twisted his waist and did some warm-up exercises in advance.

Tick-tock, it's 6 o'clock.

Check in and get off work.

"Ningning, don't stay too late. If you have nothing else to do, just leave work. I have some things to deal with outside, so I won't have dinner with you."

"Oh~" Leng Ning saw the boss leave in such a hurry, and always felt that the boss was a little abnormal today.

Chen Mo didn't eat today and drove straight to home.
What can be better than a beautiful woman at home? He has already tasted the sweetness.
At around 8pm, Leng Ning was still sorting out the attendance data submitted by Xu Peinan. At one point, she stared at one spot without moving.
What a coincidence? Qi Mengmeng has asked for leave today.
Although Chen Mo has been obsessed with beauty these days, except for being late the day before, he has been conscientious and meticulous at work!
In response to the provocation initiated by Weibo, he convened a special meeting of the heads of relevant business lines under his control to carry out corresponding coordination and preparation.

"Zhou Yuan, Zhihu's public beta will be postponed for one week, don't release it yet"

"Yiming, when will the headlines be released? Are you ready? Wait for my order to go online!"

"Xiaolong, how is the recruitment progress of self-media? There are more than 2,000. Let's leave it at that for now. We won't wait any longer. We will announce as many as we can when the time comes."

"Chen Tong, you come up with the product, and Xu Chaojun comes up with the technology. We'll use the company's existing technology framework to put together a product in the next few days. What product? Of course, it's the other side of Weibo.
Don't make it complicated. Just keep the most core functions, which is to call the existing other side user system to implement the most basic functions such as Weibo sending, commenting, liking, and sharing. Make a minimalist version!
In addition, the Navy is on standby."

"That's all. Get ready and wait for my orders, or wait for the other party's signal.
The meeting is over! "

After all, the other party has made a move, how can the other side not make a targeted response?
Just getting beaten up wasn't his style.

The reason why I don’t take action now is because the time has not come yet.

As a result, a few days later, before Sina could take action, the Ministry of Railways took action first.

At the end of March, the GW Institute's organizational reform plan was released. The former Ministry of Railways was abolished. The Ministry of Railways, having completed its historical mission, became a historical term and was reorganized into the China Railway Corporation.

The change of organization brings about dramatic personnel changes and power transfers. Some are happy while others are sad. The situation is so complicated that it is hard for outsiders to understand.
Immediately afterwards, Bi'an received an invitation from the China Railway Corporation, and the two parties agreed to discuss cooperation on 4 technology-related matters on April 8.

After the burgeoning March, April is here with the singing of birds and the growth of grass.

April 4st, April Fool's Day.

Alibaba and Sina Weibo announced that they have reached a strategic cooperation agreement. Alibaba, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, purchased preferred shares and common shares issued by Sina Weibo for US$5.86 million, accounting for 18% of the total diluted shares of Weibo.

At the same time, Sina granted Alibaba an option allowing Alibaba to increase its diluted stake in Weibo to 30% in the future at a pre-agreed pricing method.

This is not an April Fool's joke.

In fact, at the beginning, Ma was planning to acquire Sina Weibo in full, even at a huge premium. However, Sina was planning to go public in 14-15, so he was rejected by Sina Chairman Cao Guowei in a tough attitude and without any room for maneuver.

After the acquisition failed, it turned to controlling stake, and some time ago it turned from controlling stake to strategic investment. Alibaba's posture has been lowered again and again, and the condition is to ask Sina to reject the offer from the other side.

At first, Cao Guowei was a little hesitant. After all, Sina would benefit from the conflict between the two parties. But for some reason, he suddenly accepted the olive branch thrown by Alibaba.

Since then, Sina Weibo and WeChat have cancelled their previous mutual following and have become strangers.
That evening, a Weibo celebrity named "Lao Chen", that is, Chen Tong, posted a long Weibo post in his personal name, which was a compilation of the past historical collaborations between Sina and Bi'an.

This "manifesto" contains nine true and one false statements, recounting Chen Mo's outstanding contributions to the development of Weibo, his relationship with Sina, and the good cooperation between Bi'an and Sina Weibo.

Then he complained bitterly about Weibo's finding a new sponsor and the recent blocking of WeChat, among other crimes. In order to make his story more authentic, he even @ed the witness at the time, @来去之间.

This person is the actual person in charge of Sina Weibo, Sina Vice President Wang Gaofei, also known as Mr. Lai in the industry.

Finally, Chen Tong left a suspenseful sentence: since the first day has passed, let's wait until the fifteenth.
Chen Tong's rare criticism attracted many media to report and also attracted the attention of netizens. After reading Chen Tong's long Weibo, they called him ungrateful, greedy, and ungrateful, and finally called him a scumbag!

Wang Gaofei saw Chen Tong’s post as soon as it was published. Looking at this Weibo post that read like both a memoir and a declaration of war, he felt helpless.

Because what the other person said was correct, the guess that had been lingering in his mind for many years was finally confirmed.

A few years ago, Chen Tong was one of the three giants of Sina, and his power was second only to Cao Guowei. As a veteran of the old forces, he competed with Du Hong, and was in charge of Sina's overall operations, the editorial team, and was responsible for the operation of Weibo products.

At that time, I was only responsible for Sina's technology, and was still weaker than these three people. Although Wang Gaofei joined Sina in 2000, Chen Tong was already at the peak of his career and was considered a senior in the industry.

Perhaps because of this, Chen Tong, the old minister, was suppressed by the other two upstarts. However, at that time, Tencent Weibo and Sina Weibo were fighting fiercely, which gave him some room for mediation.

Moreover, at that time, Chen Tong seemed to be assisted by God. He came up with several versions of improvement and optimization plans for Sina Weibo. After they were launched, Sina Weibo seemed to have wings, which directly laid the foundation for victory in this Weibo war.

After this battle, Chen Tong became extremely famous among Sina's internal employees and with the support of his original editorial team.

The result soon surprised everyone. Chen Tong chose to leave Sina and jumped to the then unknown Bian'an as COO.

When Chen Tong just resigned, he and his colleagues were having dinner and they all lamented that Lao Chen was wasting his money. Who would have thought that this was the beginning of another legend. Now he is the third person on the other side of the river, and in just two years, his net worth has exceeded that of his former employer.

Now thinking back, perhaps, as Chen Tong said, Sina Weibo’s current success is inseparable from Chen Mo’s advice.

And he could achieve his current success thanks to Chen Tong's abdication, otherwise the outcome would be hard to say. In the end, Chen Mo indirectly became his benefactor.

For this reason, as the person in charge of Sina Weibo, although he was @ed, he really couldn’t reply or not reply, so Wang Gaofei was trapped.
Chen Tong would not speak out for no reason. He does this to occupy the commanding heights of moral public opinion in advance.

The next day, April 4, Bi'an issued a statement.

“Bi’an has always advocated the concept of harmonious coexistence and win-win cooperation and development, and has worked hard to provide a series of convenient cooperation terms for its partners.

In view of the fact that a certain Weibo account a few days ago arbitrarily closed the sharing door and locked its blog without authorization, it may be that the other party received some instructions. We are not in a position to speculate, but we deeply regret and strongly condemn it.

This move does not hurt the other side, but the vast majority of users and consumers. It is out of personal selfishness. Have you ever considered the feelings of users?

Although the products under the Bi'an Group can take reciprocal countermeasures, including but not limited to WeChat, games, Zhiyan and other products to block all information on Sina Weibo, we have given up this plan for the sake of the majority of users. Therefore, from now on, Bi'an Group will terminate all cooperation with Sina and add it to the blacklist to see the effect.

Finally, we once again urge Moulang to correct its mistakes and revoke its wrong decisions. We hope that Moulang will not continue to go in the wrong direction and turn back as soon as possible! "

The statement was issued in the morning and it started to ferment on the Internet by noon, not because the incident was too serious, but because it was too rude.

People's memories are always associative, and the wording in the other side's statement made many netizens unconsciously identify with the other side.

They all labeled Mou Lang a villain who bullied the market, was unreasonable, and broke the rules by relying on his father.

Even many emotional netizens appealed to the other side online, saying that protesting and condemning is useless, and they should take action~~~~
This is also the purpose of Chen Tong leading and using this small combo after the escort of Tianji Pavilion.

But this combo is not over yet, the day after the statement was released.

On April 4, as if to meet the calls of the majority of netizens, Bi'an released the latest developments of its products one after another, flexing its muscles to the outside world.

Zhihu: As a high-quality question-and-answer community, it is synonymous with high-end and classy today. Many netizens do not have accounts and can only see screenshots of some high-quality answers on Tieba and Weibo. It is like there is a beautiful woman who is shrouded in mystery but extremely good at flirting, so they can only watch but cannot interact, and they have been envious for a long time.

Today, Zhihu has cancelled the invitation system and opened its doors to the entire Internet.
Toutiao: Added Toutiao account function, in other words, Toutiao's media platform, combined with the excellent creation incentive mechanism of Bi'an, is committed to helping enterprises, institutions, media and self-media develop better on the Internet
In the era of mobile Internet, we will continue to expand our influence, realize brand communication and content monetization, and also output better content for the Toutiao platform and create a better user experience.

At the same time, by linking up with the WeChat public account, the combined effect of the two, whether in terms of exposure or attention, far produces an effect where one plus one is greater than two.

We-media: WeChat has signed the Other Shore Creator Incentive Program with more than 3,000 we-media outlets across the Internet.

These self-media fields cover many areas such as food, travel, games, digital, entertainment, etc.

These media resources will be shared among various products on Bi'an, and will be available in WeChat official accounts and mini-programs; Toutiao: Toutiao accounts; Zhihu certified answerers, providing more targeted content output for different audiences.
No one knows how Sina reacted to this triple blow, but netizens are gloating.

Especially the netizens on Sina Weibo, who cursed even when holding a bowl.
"I originally thought it was a bullying drama. Yesterday I felt sympathy for the other side, but now I feel like I sympathized with the wrong person."

"It's over since early morning. It's 3102. Sina is so big. Look at the size of the other side now. Ten billion vs. one hundred billion. I have the advantage, right?"

"If you say I am a scumbag, I am just an internet bootlicker. If it really comes to a hand-to-hand fight, you can see if the goddess behind you will live and die with you or secretly cut ties with you."

"Alas, there is less and less useful information on Sina Weibo now. It's all about product promotion advertisements and entertainment gossip. An actor's divorce has more attention than flood disasters."

"Now they can only be called plagiarists. They are not news producers, but just news carriers. Many Weibo celebrities actually survive by plagiarizing content from Zhihu, Tieba, and WeChat."

“Weibo’s functions are becoming more and more complicated and accumulated, and the page is too fancy. I still miss the Weibo of two years ago, which was simple, fresh and clear at a glance.”

"Fuck, the comment I just posted disappeared, Weibo you idiot! I'll post it somewhere else~"

At present, people's impression of the Internet industry generally remains on technological innovation, rapid development, generous treatment and fierce competition.
But the IT workers who are actually in it will say the following keywords, such as "IT migrant workers", "involution", "PUA", "can't find a partner", "baldness", "sudden death", "AED".
Where there is black there is white. This is indeed the case with most IT companies, but there are still a few such companies.

Employees can watch NBA and check Weibo at work, the working hours are flexible, lunch breaks are 2 hours, there is no involution, no 996, and you don’t have to go through the system to ask for leave within three days. You just need to tell your direct superior verbally, and it takes at least two months to iterate a version.
These companies are represented by Sina, Sohu, and later LeTV. These companies, which were once glorious and had a solid foundation but are now on the decline and choosing to lie flat, are known as the "Internet nursing homes."

The ones that were affected were precisely the start-ups or small and medium-sized enterprises. Some leaders or bosses went to a certain place for a visit and training, and thought they had gained the true scriptures.

They don't have the destiny to work in a big company, but they have the big company syndrome. They advocate the wolf culture, but selectively ignore it and only advocate struggle without emphasizing contribution.

Although leading companies like BAT are also competitive, their welfare and various benefits can keep up.

Of course, there is also a company that offers maximum salary and benefits, but even if the boss wants to take a break, the employees will not agree. This kind of company is not worth referring to.

Later, people gradually discovered a strange phenomenon: parks and squares were filled with vigorous elderly people; buses and subways were filled with decadent young people; mixed in were half-dead middle-aged people; and in colleges and universities there were countless confused college students who didn't know where to go after graduation.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, on weekdays, the "nursing home" in the Ideal International Building should be deserted except for some staff on duty at the operation and maintenance posts.

But today, the lights on several floors are still stubbornly on.

Members of other departments, such as advertising and local stations, may have left work, but the Sina Weibo-related Xiaolang people are like a tightened spring, running at full speed.
Customer service is handling complaints, operations is reviewing and deleting posts, technology is urgently developing batch operation functions for the backend system, and after the product requirements are put forward, technology is supervised in its work, for fear that the other party will go astray.

But no matter what, the work abilities of all the little wanderers are still online, especially in the two positions of operation and customer service. Although there are more women than men, when faced with a large number of negative Weibo comments and complaints, no one can figure it out, and there are situations of sarcasm, sarcasm, ridicule, and open abuse.

The words are very sophisticated. You must be mentioned in the words and an apology must be made first. No matter what, it can at least calm the users and stabilize their hearts.

At the very least, if you can’t solve the user’s problem for the time being, you can also use a panacea to delay it, such as

"We apologize for the inconvenience caused by your feedback. We will record your question and report it to the relevant departments of Weibo, but it will take some time. Please wait patiently. Balabala.

We will give you feedback as soon as we have a conclusion. Finally, I wish you a happy life and work."

In fact, most Weibo users don’t really expect their complaints to change anything. They are just expressing their dissatisfaction and anger at Weibo’s ban on WeChat, and they don’t think you can solve it.

Having reached this point, that’s about it.

Many things are handled in this way, big things become small, small things become nothing, time will heal all scars.
If it really doesn't work, you can target some of the more demanding users and make targeted breakthroughs. There are always ways and methods to solve the problem. For example, it is always more time-saving and labor-saving to solve the person who raised the problem than to solve the problem.

It seems like a key position is missing, where is the leader?

The leaders were in a meeting, studying, analyzing, and asking for instructions.

As the supreme commander of Sina Weibo, Wang Gaofei, who has a technical background, did not attend the meeting. Instead, he stayed in the Sina Weibo data monitoring center, watching the real-time data of Weibo on the several display screens above.

All indicators have increased exponentially. Under normal circumstances, he would be ecstatic.

But now these crazy-soaring data are all negative and all pointing in the same direction. Wang Gaofei feels like his head is about to explode. He knows very well where the source of the problem lies.

It was because the boss suddenly issued an order to target the other side some time ago. There was nothing wrong with taking sides, but he couldn't understand why such extreme measures had to be taken?

Alibaba invested in Sina Weibo. As the head of Sina Weibo, he participated in the entire process and did not find any instructions from the other party to do so.

Could it be that Lao Ma and the boss had already made some deal in secret and he didn't know about it?
Or is this an arbitrary move by the boss to show his loyalty to Ma?

It is conceivable that if one is not handled properly, there will be user loss, and the extent of the loss depends on whether the subsequent handling measures are appropriate.

You should know that the cost of attracting new users on Weibo is getting higher and higher as the target users gradually become saturated. It is difficult to add a new user, but it is not easy to add ten users.

If things go wrong, Weibo will not suffer a loss of tens of thousands, but potentially hundreds of millions.

If this was done by an intern, he would sue the other party no matter what. Unless he gets 800 million in compensation, the matter will not be over.

But if the instigator is the boss, if he doesn't handle it properly, the blame may fall from the sky, which is why Wang Gaofei has a splitting headache.

If you do a good job, your boss will be credited for thousands of years, and you may be able to get some credit just by doing your job; if you do a bad job, at least you will be charged with incompetence, and the consequences will be serious, you may be executed immediately, without even waiting for the next autumn.

Especially after seeing the statement yesterday, he felt something was not good because the other party did not impose reciprocal sanctions. As a result, during the day today, he saw Bi'an punching left and right, with moves linked together, which made his blood pressure soar.

As soon as the order was issued, Weibo was forced to let go. He could only ask his subordinates to block and relieve the pressure at the same time, taking a two-pronged approach.

However, what makes Wang Gaofei secretly thankful is that although those online on the other side are all media information platforms, whether WeChat, Zhihu or Toutiao, their positioning is still different from their Weibo, and Weibo's user base will not be affected too much.

If the other party posts a Weibo post, that would be a big deal.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, after obtaining the latest data from Sina Weibo, Wang Gaofei quickly convened a meeting of core management at all levels of Weibo.

On the way to the meeting room, he cursed someone in his heart.

You say we are developing well, isn’t that good?

Why pick on Chen Mo when you can pick on anyone else? Don’t you know he is born in the year of the dog?
Are you sick?
