Chapter 263 Problematic company 【Seeking monthly ticket】
"Yanqing told us that you are his best brother, so don't be restrained. We are all brothers. We have known Yanqing for three or four years, and we are all very familiar with him. When we were in graduate school, Yanqing would
I just started college and you often come to our school to take classes. What do you drink, orange juice, Coke, Sprite, or iced tea?"
"Iced black tea will do." Zhao Mingyang looked at the crew-cut man who led him into the room. His name was Zhou Mo. He was the founder of this food review website. The other two should be partners.
The three of them formed a partnership, and Zhou Mo originally spent one million to start a business. Within two years, their platform did have a lot of users, but the problem was that it was difficult for the website to make a profit.
The biggest problem is that there are no salesmen to run the business, and the company's positioning is unclear. Zhou Mo talks to customers on his own for all business, but most gourmet restaurants refuse to talk to Zhou Mo. The main reason is that Zhou Mo has no experience in running business and charges too much.
There is no standard. Their current profits come from web advertising.
But the income is not fluctuating. Some customers give three thousand a month, and some give seven or eight thousand a year. It's scattered. A few technical geeks can do technology, but how to make this company bigger, how to position it, and what to do in the future.
Development does require a professional professional manager.
It's not that they didn't invite them, but in the end they broke up on bad terms. The colleagues broke up soon after. The main reason was that the three people in the room had too strong opinions and didn't want to compromise. The consequence of not compromising was that they missed too many opportunities and gave
This gives other rivals the opportunity to grow.
There are quite a few companies like this, with technical backgrounds that can still run operations, and not many from a global perspective. Most of the founder teams are technical and responsible for technology, and operations are responsible for operations. They are separated, work is divided and cooperated, and each performs their own duties. This
The three of them have good technology, but they don't know how to operate, so it's more difficult to succeed. This is also the reason why most start-up companies cannot make money and realize profits.
Even though Xiao Ma doesn't talk much, he looks like a technical geek, but he knows operations very well. Everyone knows that he originally registered a female account to chat with people to ensure user activity and attract traffic to the software. He is not good at expressing himself.
It is equivalent to not knowing how to operate. It was Xiao Ma who went to find investors on his own in the first place. He is relatively introverted and calm, not the kind of technical geek who only understands technology and does not understand social interaction as everyone understands.
There is also Rebus, the cannon in red, who is technical and expressive like Musk, who is more outgoing, but there are actually very few people like this, because this is equivalent to a top student who is good at studying and playing basketball.
It's extremely rare to be able to pick up girls.
Zhou Mo and the other three obviously failed to take care of both, so their current situation is rather embarrassing. They do not accept capital investment and do not hand over operational authority to professional people. As a result, the three of them can barely make ends meet every month.
situation.
Even those mentioned above who can take care of both will choose one or the other in the end. Most of them completely choose to only do company operations, leaving the technology to people who are more powerful and professional than them. They need to know how to divide labor and cooperate.
People obviously don't understand this. If they start a business purely for their dreams, the failure rate is very high.
They completely regard this platform as their works, not products. What they want to show others is how awesome their technology is and how good the software they make is. For example, page advertisements only give customers some inconspicuous sections.
In order to ensure the best user experience.
But at this point, they have gone astray. Without financial support, they have no money for subsequent maintenance, let alone if something happens to the three people's families, they will not be able to pay.
You also have to give up the work at hand and solve the problem yourself. If two of the three people are away for ten days and a half, the software may easily crash or even lose the ability to maintain it. Poverty will also create many internal conflicts.
, now there are actually clues.
For example, Zhou Mo wanted to get married, but he had no money. Zhou Mo wanted to cash out, but the other two did not want to add too much capital. Moreover, there was also a problem with their equity distribution at the time. Zhou Mo also had the skills to contribute money.
They accounted for 40%, and the other two people each accounted for 30%. In other words, these two people could kick Zhou Mo out.
Another way of thinking, Zhou Mo only needs to unite with one person to kick out the other person. As long as two people agree on the matter of three people, the remaining people will be very passive.
Especially the founder Zhou Mo has actually lost his right to speak.
Not only Zhou Mo encountered this problem, the other two also had signs, because they also met secretly with other investors, but now the three of them have not broken up with each other.
Zhao Mingyang looked at Zhou Mo and said, "Brother Zhou is making new software?"
"No, we are maintaining the mobile APP port and have found a lot of bugs recently. Li Yanqing said you came to me to discuss business? Then let's talk." Zhou Mo said.
Zhao Mingyang(⊙o⊙)…
This is really so direct that there is no chance to breathe, and how can we talk about it? Is it such a blunt discussion? These people's thinking is relatively straightforward and one-minded. Invest in them. If they still have their own opinions, how can we do it?
?Or what should I do if I am not allowed to invest in shares?
Zhao Mingyang had to change his thinking, not go straight to the topic, but to get them to accept him and listen to him from another angle.
Zhao Mingyang is definitely not as skilled as them, but when it comes to human nature, Zhao Mingyang, who has lived for two generations, can control them to death.
"Wait until you finish your work. We are talking. You go ahead. I came here in a hurry and the car stopped on the side of the road. I will move the car first. It will be bad if the road is blocked. You are done.
I'm coming up, I'm downstairs." Zhao Mingyang turned and left, leaving this group of people confused. Do you think their place is not good or something?
When Zhao Mingyang left, a slovenly man said: 'Tch~ are you leaving now? What are you here for? What are you pretending to be?'
"Okay, we are friends with Yanqing after all, let's get busy first, they might actually move the car." Zhou Mo said.
Zhao Mingyang did not move the car, but called the car rental company to rent a luxury car worth at least three million, which could seat at least four people.
There are actually more luxury cars in the Imperial Capital than in the Magic City, mainly because there are more people in the entertainment industry here. Many celebrities have the habit of collecting luxury cars and buy them when they have money. There are also many listed companies here, and many people make money.
Money is nothing more than a car, a house, and a significant other. But these people basically like to go to Shanghai to squander money when they have money. Mainly in the imperial capital, many people can't do it.
The car rental company recommended Zhao Mingyang a black Aston Martin, the only four-door coupe with a retail price of around 4 million.
Zhao Mingyang confirmed that the car was suitable and gave the car rental company the address. The other party responded quickly and asked someone to drive over. These are car rental companies that cooperate with Kongping Media. Kongping Media rents cars a lot on business trips.
Many people like Zhao Mingyang book a car directly.
Didu and Kongping Media belong to the same parent company, both of which are owned by the Lingshi Palace Group. The Lingshi Palace Group has a large industrial chain. For minister-level people like Zhao Mingyang, the company is allowed to rent up to five million yuan.
The cars on the left and right.
The company is not afraid that you will crash. If you crash, you will work in the company for a few more years. Most people who rent cars do it for business, especially those like Empty Bottle Media. The appearance is within the scope of the business. Team leaders generally
You can rent a car worth around two million, and the team members can only buy million-dollar luxury cars at most.
This is clearly divided into tiers. Like Guman Rental, you can apply for spare cars in various areas of Lingshi Palace. You don't need to go to a car rental company. Each level has one authority.
Zhao Mingyang cannot rent luxury cars worth tens of millions. They all need connections to borrow, but cars worth four to five million are not difficult to rent in the imperial capitals Shencheng and Pengcheng. As long as the conditions are met, many of them can be rented.
They all say luxury cars for rent, and only luxury cars are rented.
Across the country, ③Ya has the most luxury cars for rent. They are all supercars that are more than ten years old. The store recycles them and rents them out. In the off-season, renting a million-level supercar costs more than 1,000 yuan a day. In the peak season, it costs more than 1,000 yuan.
It costs about 3,000 yuan, and it costs 4,000 to 5,000 yuan to rent a supercar, such as a Ferrari Lamborghini. In the off-season, it costs more than 3,000 yuan a day, and in the peak season, it costs 6,000 to 7,000 yuan.
This is why so many short video bloggers love to go to Sanya to shoot videos. A few of them can spend a fortune together, rent a Ferrari Lamborghini, and take turns filming. It is easiest to pretend to be rich and wealthy. There are also villas in Asia for rent.
There are many, and the price is not expensive. After all, it is an area that mainly relies on tourism to stimulate the economy. There is no supporting facilities in this area.
Many of the short videos and photos of the fake rich second generation in the circle of friends were also taken there. In fact, the cost was not high. A few people went there in a group, sharing the car rental fee, renting a villa, and taking various floating photos.
Gain maximum attention and profits at minimum cost.
③ Asia not only has the business of renting cars and villas, but also rents watches, clothes, bags, etc. What some people wear may not be fake or high imitation, they may be rented, and even mobile phones and laptops are there.
For rent, these facilities can be installed. ③The place over there is really complete.
The reason why Zhao Mingyang wants to rent a car is to give this group of people a sense of gap. They squat indoors every day and are basically isolated from the outside world. When they go out, they have to take buses and squeeze into the subway. They must know the benefits of money.
.
Not only must they know the benefits of money, but they must also have empathy. Zhao Mingyang knows that when dealing with this group of people, he cannot just go for money. They may really walk away in anger.
Now that the car is booked, let’s go to the restaurant. Where are the top restaurants in the Imperial City? They are basically the hotels that everyone is familiar with, but these people may have been to this type of hotel. After all, there must be investors.
I have invited them to dinner, and most of them also go to these places.
Zhao Mingyang thought for a moment, then called Ma Chunzhen and asked if he could book a restaurant in the palace tonight. If so, he could reserve a box for him.
"Ming Yang is inviting a distinguished guest?" Ma Chunzhen asked.
"Well, I really want to treat you to a distinguished guest."
"Leave this little matter to me. I've been to the Imperial Capital for wine appointments for the past few days. I'll get back to you later and wait for my news."
Soon, Ma Chunzhen gave Zhao Mingyang an address. Ma Chunzhen found someone to book a box for Zhao Mingyang. Ma Chunzhen also told the other party the cost and it was charged to her account.
After finishing everything, Zhao Mingyang was downstairs thinking about tonight's events.
I looked at my watch and saw that it was six o'clock in the evening. I was busy today, meeting clients and discussing projects.
I ran away as soon as I got off the plane, and I'm still busy now. I really worked hard. You can't say that I, Zhao, didn't work hard.
The car was delivered. Zhao Mingyang walked across the road and came to a parking lot. The driver handed the car key to Zhao Mingyang.
Zhao Mingyang was no longer as embarrassed as before, and directly asked the driver how to operate this, and said: "Does this car have insurance?"
The driver was speechless. You don't want to drive this car for racing, do you?
"If you buy it, it's fully insured."
"That's good, thank you. I'll study it for a while, and you can go ahead." Zhao Mingyang sat in the car and familiarized himself with the operation first, so as to avoid the embarrassment of not being able to start it after a while. These luxury cars have too many buttons.
Zhao Mingyang had this embarrassing situation in his previous life. He borrowed a Bentley to pick up a client. As a result, the client was waiting at the airport. He discovered that the car would not start. It turned out that he had accidentally touched a button. He searched online for a while.
, and found that this type of car owners rarely answer online.
I happened to meet an older brother in the parking lot who came to my aid. The older brother hid his merit and fame and left without saying much. If he spoke too much, everyone would be embarrassed.
After fumbling around for a while, I quickly got used to it. I am afraid that if I don’t drive a luxury car often, but if I drive it more, I will realize that many things are still the same.
In the car, I sorted out Wang Sibo's files. It was just that if the diaosi persona was out of date, then add another persona, such as a dog-licking persona.
People like Wang Sibo are very smart. He is actually learning the operation of Kongping Media. Kongping Media also knows that he is learning. It is estimated that he will operate his own IP in the future, but he must pay the tuition fee in the early stage.
.
This is also why Empty Bottle Media’s operating fees are so high, especially the operating fees offered by big investors. In fact, everyone knows that they may not be able to receive the money later.
Wang Sibo will only be charged operating fees for two or three years at most, and he will not renew the contract later. Of course, this is the norm for many customers.
But in fact, the thing that these customers are most likely to ignore is also the thing that many customers are most likely to overturn after they fail to cooperate with Empty Bottle Media. During the cooperation period, Empty Bottle Media basically helped customers block scandals related to customers and their industries across the entire network. Customers
Maybe you didn't even notice it.
If the contract is not renewed, no one will take care of it, and customers will not be able to block these negative comments. In this way, it will soon be easy for these customers to lose their reputation overnight and lose customers.
It is very difficult for Empty Bottle Media to take orders from such customers, because it is basically impossible to operate. This type of blockade scandal can only be blocked forever. As long as you let go, it is almost impossible to block it.
In the later period, when more of this kind of thing happened, everyone realized that they could only cooperate with Empty Ping Media for a long time. Empty Ping Media did this intentionally.
