Many people in the past life only knew about Musk's acquisition of Twitter in 2022, but they didn't know that Twitter almost changed hands several times in the years before Musk took action, but it was just that the price was not negotiated and continued to drag it down.

Ske appeared unbearably.

Considering that Twitter will act as a very important public opinion position in the future and its importance to Lao Tang in 2016, Li Rui feels it is necessary to put the idea of ​​acquiring Twitter on the agenda.

This step must be taken as soon as possible, otherwise after Twitter is listed next year, its market value will remain above 15 billion magnesium in the first few years, which is not something Li Rui can swallow in one bite.

Of course, Cao Wei didn't know that Li Rui was talking to him about VB, but he was thinking about Twitter in his heart. While accompanying Li Rui inside, he introduced the specific content of the meeting.

At this meeting, we must first select a new chairman and CEO, and secondly, we must determine the main development direction, and once again discuss Ali's investment.

Each of the three things is important and is enough to determine Xinlang's fate. As a member of the board of directors, the tickets held in Li Rui are very important.

When they arrived at the top meeting room, many Xinlang executives were chatting outside and greeted Cao Wei.

Ma Wenxuan is also among the executives. As the CEO of VB, she and her colleagues from the VB department stood on the left side of the corridor, and formed a vague but clear distinction between executives from the Xinlang Portal on the right.

diaphragm.

"This is Chen Tong, the head of the portal content team." Cao Wei pulled a chubby middle-aged man wearing glasses and introduced to Li Rui.

Li Rui hurriedly said: "Hello, Mr. Chen, I have long admired Daming!"

It's indeed long-awaited.

Anyone who has come from the early Internet portal era, even if he has not heard of Chen Tong's name, he must have read the news he edited and influenced by him.

Chen Tong is particularly enthusiastic about Li Rui: "Hello, Mr. Li, I am a loyal user of Credit Suisse and I like your company's products very much."

"Thank you, thank you." Li Rui smiled slightly.

Li Rui enjoyed Chen Tong's compliments very much, but was a little alert.

One of the topics to vote today is the relationship between portal and VB. Whether to continue to integrate the two or completely separate, there are very big differences within Xinlang.

Li Rui had heard her say between entertainment last night and Ma Wenxuan.

The dispute between Portal and VB has become increasingly fierce this year.

Xinlang started out as a portal, and has gone through more than ten years of ups and downs since its establishment, and has always maintained the first place in the country's portal website. In the era of the Internet bubble, it also relied on Chen Tong and other old officials of the portal content department to save it.

The situation has kept the new future, and from this perspective, the portal has made an indelible contribution.

Even part of Xinlang's corporate culture comes from Portal and Chen Tong. In the early days of VB, Chen Tong also accumulated contacts through the previous portal period, and led his subordinates from the Portal Content Department to attack celebrities one by one.

, invite them to Xinlang to open VB.

Without the Portal Content Department, there would be no Xinlang today, no Chen Tong and others, and no VB today.

However, with the gradual growth of VB, it has become the most important flagship product of Xinlang and has a tendency to replace the portal.

Xinlang has formed a situation where the two major business systems of Portal and VBo are coherent, but Xinlang does not support the strength of the two business chains at the same time. The strategy of "portal VBo=11﹥2" that has been adopted before has also been proved to be ineffective.

Yes, the two cannot complement each other's advantages and cannot share resources. If you want to do both, you can only get rid of both. You must make some choices.

In fact, everyone knows whether they tend to be the old heroes or the rising stars.

The question now is whether the portal can still interfere in the operation of VBo in the future. If the portal is completely separated from VBo, it will be a devastating blow to the portal that lags behind the times.

A generation of new people replaces old people, and the Yangtze River pushes old people, which is a historical necessity.

But the old people and the old people may not think so. They always want to struggle again. This meeting is the battle between the new people and the old people. The winner will enjoy the resources of Xinlang for the next few years, and the failure

The person can only tighten his belt and live.

Xinlang's internal struggle not only comes from the portal and VB. There are also struggles within the upper level and within VB.

Needless to say, the struggle between the upper class has been fighting for several years. Although Cao Wei won the victory from the current situation, Lao Wang still has supporters on the board of directors. Who knows if it will be this time

What a comeback?

As for the struggle within VB, it comes from the PC and mobile terminals. Currently, there are two vice presidents under Ma Wenxuan. The wireless business department led by Wang Feigao is responsible for VB's mobile client products, and Peng Xiaobin's VB business department is responsible for PC.

The end product is precisely the architecture of two departments responsible for different terminals of the same product, which brings great internal friction.

Both sides want to compete for more share, and you often stumbling on me and I will give you a good attitude. Ma Wenxuan's main job is to persecute fights and mediate.

In fact, the outcome of this struggle is not surprising.

Before 2012, the PC side occupied the main channel for user login, but from this year's trend, about 70% of users log in to VB either use only mobile terminals or use both mobile terminals and PC terminals, and a simple PC side

There are only about 30% of the users left.

The trend of users transferring from PC to mobile is very obvious, and the most critical aspect of advertising revenue is that the mobile side has gradually increased from the initial 5% to 20%.

Data will not lie. Under this trend, will Xinlang's upper level still have any questions about which party will choose?

Some are happy and some are sad.

For the V Expo business unit led by Peng Xiaobin, winter is coming.

And for the wireless business department led by Wang Feigao, the insurgency is here!

Their fight will also be revealed at today's board of directors.

As for the frequent failure of commercialization, it is even more of a long-standing problem facing Xinlang. Today's board of directors will also discuss what to do next.

In such a headache situation, it seems that the only rumor that Ah Li wants to invest is good news.

Only the board members know about this matter at present, and there is no movement outside the outside world.

Ah Li has always been socializing, which is something that everyone on earth knows.

After finally getting through the issue of Yahoo equity, Ah Li can let go of her hands to do what she wants. She used to rely on her own strength to do socializing, and now she has conducted in-depth business docking with VB and seeks external forces to carry out social fields.

Breakthrough seems to be a very good opportunity!
Chapter completed!
