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

Chapter 904 Original God, activate!
"Moss, this is the Human Resources Department's annual meeting schedule for this year. Please take a look."

Li Duanfa handed over a plan.

Chen Mo glanced through the list and found that, similar to previous years, it was still a mixed concert featuring ordinary employees and several celebrities.

Still in Beijing, still at the Bird's Nest, at 8 PM on Friday, February 2nd.

"Let's talk to Xu Peixin and ask them to plan a program that can connect senior executives of the group headquarters and branches at home and abroad, presented in the form of video interaction."

The only requirement is to be 'down-to-earth'. The program content is kept completely secret from us participants, and we are encouraged to give authentic on-the-spot reactions.

Also, I reminded them to pay special attention to stage safety. I remember last year a male singer got so into his performance that he almost fell off the stage…”

"Ok!"

The reason for this arrangement is that Chen Mo realized that the distance between himself and a group of senior executives and grassroots employees has gradually widened.

The annual meeting is almost the only occasion where you can directly communicate and have fun with everyone; otherwise, communication is limited to sporadic interactions via emails or internal forums.

At the same time, the Dandelion Project also inspired some new ideas for Chen Mo: since animation can be produced by the other side, why can't variety shows and films?

Beyond Video could learn from Mango TV and iQiyi and launch its own original content, such as "Joyful Night", "Annual Comedy Competition", "Talk Show", "Back to Field", and "Goodbye My Love".

Without hesitation, Chen Mo immediately called Chen Tong and presented his idea.

"...It's roughly this kind of format, but you should be more knowledgeable than me about the specific gameplay."

"Understood. I know many producers, and we can start this year..."

“Remember that quality is more important than quantity. We can’t ruin the reputation of ‘Other Shore Production’. Also, have someone plan a show similar to last year’s ‘Back to Field’ on Hunan TV, with me as a guest.”

"Ah...you're participating in person?"

"What? Even Jack Ma can gather top Chinese martial arts stars to film a movie called 'Gong Shou Dao,' is it strange that I'm participating in my own company's variety show?"

"No, no, it's just a bit of an accident..."

"Even your reaction proves the necessity of my participation."

The program aims to connect with the audience and help more people understand what kind of company Beyond is and what kind of person Chen Mo is...

Other guests can be found from the entertainment industry who have good audience appeal, but I won't consider popular celebrities; they're not good enough for me.

Once the program plan is roughly finalized, please provide me with a shortlist.

Oh, and remember to find a celebrity who can actually cook; I don't want to get poisoned.
Write these down for now... Okay, that's all for now.

After finishing these tasks, Chen Mo opened his schedule and was overwhelmed by the densely packed schedule at the back.

For employees of internet companies, the period before the Spring Festival is usually the busiest, as they need to rush to launch Spring Festival activities or release major versions before the holiday.

However, the other side usually completes the version release half a month before the holiday, so it is not particularly stressful.

However, as the boss, Chen Mo became the busiest person in the entire group.

It not only requires managing the interactions and relationship maintenance of key contacts during holidays.

Sometimes, it's not about contacting each other only when you need something, but about maintaining contact during holidays so that it's useful at crucial moments. This led Chen Mo to spend only three days at the Beyond Science Park in early January, reviewing annual reports and arranging work, before starting pre-holiday visits to various subsidiaries and allied companies.

This is the attitude that a group chairman should demonstrate.

From January 8th to 12th, Chen Mo first completed visits to companies in Beijing:
My first stop was attending Xiaomi's annual conference.

Xiaomi, which is currently jokingly referred to as a "futures machine" by netizens, has already sold out tens of millions of Xiaomi Mix units with the "help" of Jia Yueting. As a result, Lei Jun has been jokingly called a "debt defaulter" by Mi fans, owing a huge amount of money for mobile phones for the nth time.

The good news is that Xiaomi's annual revenue has finally exceeded 200 billion yuan, and its business structure is healthy, with the ratio of mobile phones, IoT and lifestyle consumer products, and Internet services being approximately 6:3:1.

But when he heard about the net profit, Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh: the more than 10 billion yuan he earned in a year of hard work is still not as good as "Glory World" - the manufacturing industry is really too "profitable".

Xiao Lei can be called a true model worker.

Second battle: ByteDance
Chen Mo reiterated to Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo the importance of paying close attention to the overseas version of TikTok, increasing investment, and specifically reminded them to pay attention to compliance issues.

At the same time, he suggested that the platform's content should be more positive, and that it is acceptable for it to be enjoyed by both the refined and the common people. He also suggested that it is not a problem for it to be "borderline" to a certain extent. Chen Mo is not an old-fashioned person. After all, he occasionally watches young ladies dancing some dances that have caused a sensation in Beijing.

However, it still maintains the original Douyin style, such as popular science videos about what's inside a black hole, video editing, folk crafts, and talented people, and allocates more traffic to these categories.

Zhang Yiming reported that Douyin is experimenting with launching a "Douyin Featured" tag.

"Do a good job, and I will invite some entrepreneur friends to join Douyin in the future to bring everyone closer together."

"The boss and his friends?" Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo exchanged a glance, their eyes lighting up.

It's important to understand that those who can become friends with business owners are generally industry leaders. The presence and use of Douyin by these entrepreneurs has a far greater influence than that of celebrities on Weibo.

This is the boss of these celebrity spokespeople; you can't hire them even if you have money.

In the following days, Chen Mo also visited companies such as ride-hailing and Zhihu.

In late January, Chen Mo traveled to various locations to inspect branch offices and key investment enterprises, offering his regards and encouragement. Sometimes, coinciding with the company's annual meeting, he would also go on stage to offer a few words of encouragement.

On January 27, Chen Mo made miHoYo, headquartered in Shanghai, his last stop.

Honkai Impact 3 has been online for two years and has entered a mature and explosive period.

The game has successfully maintained a high level of player activity and willingness to pay through continuous high-quality version updates (new characters, new storylines, and new gameplay).

Currently hailed as the "ceiling" of domestic action mobile games, it boasts annual revenue of 20 billion yuan and consistently ranks among the top ten.

Its outstanding 3D modeling, smooth combat, and excellent storyline, while not having the widest audience, have earned it a very high reputation and strong spending power among core anime and manga fans, making it one of the most successful anime and manga games on the market.

The overseas performance was also remarkable. The Japanese, Taiwanese, and Southeast Asian versions of the game performed steadily and strongly in 2018, contributing a considerable share to the total global revenue.

However, miHoYo's core team is not satisfied with the status quo. While continuing to operate Honkai Impact 3, they have launched the development of new projects.

Internally, "Honkai Impact 4" was referred to as "Old Nine" or "Old Ten," indicating that many proposals had been eliminated to ensure quality.

In January of last year, miHoYo launched the project "Honkai Impact 3rd Chronicles", but the development process did not go smoothly.

Until the release of The Legend of Zelda in March, miHoYo's three youngsters had a flash of inspiration.
An open world called 'Teyvat' is gradually taking shape.
