Chapter 332: Busy Days
Early in the morning, the spring sun is shining brightly.
Song Ci was talking to Liu Shishi on the phone, feeling somewhat surprised: "Why did they suddenly announce it?"
He went to bed early last night, and when he woke up this morning he found that his wife had made an epic official announcement, which directly paralyzed Weibo. He thought that his wife's public announcement this time was indeed decent enough.
Liu Shishi's nasal voice came from the phone: "It's because someone is not honest. I am very happy to reminisce with old acquaintances."
Song Ci immediately understood that the lady was jealous, no wonder she made the official announcement so hastily, and hurriedly comforted her:
"You are a little sensitive about Sisi. She and I were just talking about work. We didn't even add each other on WeChat, and we will basically not meet in the future."
"Sisi! You're being so affectionate!" Liu Shishi dragged out her words. "Humph, you want to add me on WeChat! If I don't declare my sovereignty quickly, who knows if some people will be tempted to steal my girl away."
"It's all in the past. People have started a new life now."
Liu Shishi paused and sighed softly, softly and sadly: "Maybe it's like this on the surface, but who knows what she really thinks in her heart.
In the journey of life, you must not meet someone too amazing when you are young, otherwise you will be unable to escape his shadow for the rest of your life. "
Song Ci was startled: "Don't think too much."
Liu Shishi decided to stop while she was ahead, and said, "Dear, do you have any plans for today?"
"I'll go to the company later. Brother Dong will come over to discuss something."
"Don't work too hard on the weekends. Combine work and rest and get more rest." Liu Shishi showed concern for her husband, her voice sweet, "I will be back to Beijing in two days for the International Fashion Week. I miss you."
"Yeah, I miss you too." Song Ci nodded gently, "Do you want me to take care of the Xu sisters' affairs?"
"No need!" Liu Shishi said firmly, "Although I, Liu Shishi, am low-key, it doesn't mean I don't have a temper!" Now that her identity as the wife of the richest man has been officially announced, she is confident that she can handle this matter.
"Chen Teng is very funny, he is worthy of being a comedian who has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala."
"Every time Lao Hu and Mi Mi meet, it's so awkward."
"My Liu Xuemei middle-aged woman's look is so ugly!"
Listening to his wife sharing interesting stories about the crew, Song Ci finished his breakfast unknowingly. Before hanging up the phone, the two chatted for a few more words before reluctantly saying goodbye.
Although it is the weekend, there are still many people coming to the company to work overtime. There is never a shortage of hard-working workers in large Internet companies.
"Morning, Mr. Song!"
"Good morning, Chairman."
Song Ci stood in front of the elevator, dressed in a suit and tie, smiling and nodding, responding to the employees' greetings, exuding a gentle aura that was different from usual.
Several female employees whispered:
"Looking at Mr. Song's expression today, he seems to be in a good mood."
"Big people don't show their emotions on their faces. Who knows what the boss thinks about Liu Shishi's official announcement?"
"Do you think Liu Shishi is favored in the Song family?"
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I've made billions. If I have another baby, I'll probably get a lot of money."
"Yes, billions of assets, we can't earn that even if we work for hundreds of years."
"So, it is better to marry well than to work well. Marrying someone changes your fate. Liu Shishi...ah!"
The gossiping female employee felt a hand on her shoulder and immediately turned around. It turned out to be Song Xueying, the chairman's secretary.
"Secretary Song!" Several people greeted hurriedly in unison.
Song Xueying's face was cold as she began to admonish: "Don't talk about Mr. Song's private affairs in the company, especially those involving his wife."
"Got it." Several girls were silent and nodded repeatedly.
After scolding the talkative employee, Song Xueying quickly walked to the boss and winked at the people around her, wanting to report the matter.
Several executives who were originally surrounding the boss all tactfully took a step back and made some space.
"Director Song, Mr. Liu from Jingdong will arrive at the company at about ten o'clock. Mr. Yu from tt Video Network knows that you are coming to the company, and specifically asked if it is convenient for you. He wants to report to you on his work."
The elevator door slowly opened, and Song Ci stepped into the elevator while instructing, "Ask Yu Xin to come over at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Please welcome Mr. Liu to the VIP room for me. Also, ask Liu Yan to come see me immediately. I want to see the data analysis report of the Weibo outage last night."
At ten o'clock, in the Tengda VIP room, Liu Xiangdong's hearty laughter came: "Boss Song, I thought you and your sister-in-law would keep it a secret forever!"
"Actually, I don't care. I'll just let her do whatever she wants with these little things."
The two chatted for a while, and Song Ci changed the subject and got to the point: "Brother Dong, last year Alibaba held a Double 11 shopping festival and launched online promotions on the platform. The effect was very good."
Speaking of JD.com's strongest rival, Alibaba Group, Liu Xiangdong's expression became stern: "I know that although the number of participating merchants and the promotion intensity were average, the effect was very good, and the turnover of the event far exceeded expectations."
"Brother Dong, does JD.com intend to hold one? Tengda is willing to cooperate with JD.com to hold a shopping festival of its own."
Liu Xiangdong's eyes lit up and he was very tempted, but he quickly calmed down. There is no free lunch in the world. Even if he and Song Ci have a good relationship, business is business and brothers have to settle accounts clearly.
"How does the cooperation work? What does JD.com need to pay?"
“Both JD.com and Alibaba lack traffic, but Tengda does not.” Song Ci was confident and explained his plan in detail.
"All Tenda products can drive traffic to JD.com, including mobile splash screens. But there is a condition: JD.com needs to make Yifutong and WeChat Pay the preferred settlement methods for the entire platform."
Liu Xiangdong quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Song Ci had already made his plan clear. It was nothing more than using JD.com to promote Tenda's online payment.
"It seems I have no choice." After thinking for a while, Liu Xiangdong smiled bitterly.
In the field of third-party payment, Alipay and Tencent's EasyPay divide the world on the PC side, while WeChat Pay is the only dominant player on the mobile side.
JD.com does not even have a payment license now, and is unable to support its online payment business in a short period of time. Cooperating with Tenda seems to be the only option.
“JD.com can put WeChat Pay in the first payment column, but it cannot force customers to use WeChat Pay or not.”
Song Ci smiled confidently: "Don't worry about this, Brother Dong. Tengda will take out 100 million yuan to subsidize customers who use WeChat Pay."
"A subsidy of 100 million! What a generous amount!" Liu Xiangdong's pupils suddenly shrank. He was shocked by Song Ci's courage. This number made his breathing pause.
At the same time, he felt envious. If JD.com was as wealthy as Tencent, he would never give up the fat piece of meat in online payment.
Unfortunately, the intention is better than the ability. JD.com's focus on developing logistics has left the entire group financially strapped, and it does not have the extra energy to compete with Alibaba and Tencent in the field of online payment.
But on second thought, Tenda's willingness to provide 100 million yuan in subsidies is a good thing for JD.com. No matter what settlement method is used, it is still JD.com's customer.
"When does Mr. Song want to start?"
“June is best before the summer change.”
"Deal, then let's set it for mid-June." Liu Xiangdong calculated that two months would be enough time for JD.com to make preparations.
With the participation of Tenda, we can then contact more merchants and organize a grand online shopping promotion.
The two hit it off immediately, and Song Ci decided immediately: "Let's settle it, and let the people below handle the specific matters."
After seeing Liu Xiangdong off, Song Ci had a quick lunch. Just as he returned to the office, Zhang Yong came with his people to report on their work.
"Mr. Song, I'm sorry to disturb your lunch break."
Song Ci waved his hand. The head of a multinational corporation, who was busy with many things, said, "Sit down and talk."
He knew that Zhang Yong would fly to Pengcheng tomorrow to attend the 2011 IT Leadership Summit, and that there were some tasks that needed to be finalized with him before he left.
He fixed his eyes on the middle-aged man next to Zhang Yong and asked gently, "Mr. Shen, are you used to it after joining Tengda?"
"I'm used to it. I really like the youthful and prosperous atmosphere of Tengda." Shen Boyang, the former founder of Nuomi.com and current president of Jinri Youxuan, quickly responded.
“Since the group acquired Nuomi.com at the beginning of the year, after more than a month of running-in, Mr. Shen has basically mastered the group’s work.
Seeing that the second quarter is approaching, today's preferred group buying business must be carried out as soon as possible, so I came here to ask Director Song for instructions. "Zhang Yong took over the conversation, talked about Shen Boyang's situation, and stated the purpose of today.
As long as the general direction is correct, Song Ci will let his subordinates do what they want in principle: "What do you think about group buying, Mr. Shen?"
Shen Boyang had a plan in place. He took out two documents and handed them to Song Ci and Zhang Yong respectfully: "Director Song, President Zhang, after I joined the group, I started to work on the integration of Nuomi.com and the group's Today's Optimization. The integration has now been completed."
After briefly reporting on the key work in the early stage, seeing that the two bosses had no intention of speaking, Shen Boyang continued:
"In the field of online group buying, after a war of thousands of groups, Meituan.com has almost occupied half of the market, especially in the catering sector, where it is the leader.
So I decided to avoid the limelight, integrate the group's resources, rely on the market advantages of Southern Cinemas, and focus on the movie ticket group purchase market. At the same time, I can also promote the group's WeChat payment, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
When Song Ci heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. There are many talented people in the world, and Shen Boyang's ideas coincide with his.
Seeing the chairman's approval, Shen Boyang became more confident: "In the next step, I will focus on offline, according to the group's deployment, and focus on developing O2O food delivery business, because it is difficult for us to beat Meituan in pure online group buying."
“There is nothing wrong with the idea. The group provides subsidies to partners who promote WeChat Pay, and I will not favor one over the other.
Whether it is group buying of movie tickets or takeaway business, as long as users use WeChat payment for settlement, the group will provide subsidies equally. "
After finishing the in-depth discussion with Zhang Yong and Shen Boyang about the food delivery business, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
Before Song Ci had time to rest for a moment, Wang Jing had already arrived with Yu Xin.
"Sister Jing, why are you here? Come and sit down! Xueying helped Sister Jing to the sofa." Song Ci quickly stood up when he saw Wang Jing coming.
"Mr. Song, it's okay. I'm not that squeamish." Wang Jing had a smile on her face, with a maternal glow.
"You are pregnant now, you need to rest more, why do you come to the company on weekends!"
Wang Jing subconsciously touched her belly, her face full of happiness: "The doctor said that proper movement is better for the fetus. Yu Xin is coming over, and I will be in charge of some things in the early stage, so I have to report them to you in person."
"Yu Xin, you can sit down too." Song Ci pointed to the reception sofa and instructed the secretary, "Jing Jie is pregnant, so she shouldn't drink tea or coffee. Xueying, go get Jing Jie a glass of milk."
Wang Jing smiled happily: "Mr. Song is really thoughtful. Shishi is so lucky."
Song Xueying quickly brought tea and milk.
Song Ci nestled his whole body in the comfortable leather sofa, tapping the armrest with his fingers: "To make a long story short, I have something to do at five o'clock."
Yu Xin sat upright with a happy expression on his face: "Mr. Song, the variety show strategy of TT Video Network is very effective.
Yesterday, the first episode of the variety show "The Voice of China" co-produced by us and Donghai TV was broadcast on satellite TV. The ratings were very impressive and the number of clicks on the platform also reached a new high.
This is a detailed data report, please take a look. "
Wang Jing also said: "Although the popularity of The Voice of China was overshadowed by some events last night, the premiere performance was unexpectedly good."
Song Ci took the materials but did not intend to check them: "Speak to the point."
Yu Xin hurriedly continued, "Mr. Song, due to the outstanding performance of The Voice of China, Hunan Satellite TV also wants to cooperate with us to develop one or two variety shows."
Wang Jing added: "Mr. Song, when Tengda Culture first started, in addition to CCTV, it mainly cooperated with two satellite TV stations, Beiping and Donghai, and the TV series it produced were basically sold to these three.
Since the hit drama “Palace”, Hunan Satellite TV has already established a basis for cooperation with Tengda, so we want to strike while the iron is hot and develop one or two variety shows, one is to test the waters, and the other is to consolidate the cooperation. ”
"Hunan Provincial TV Station is the No. 1 provincial TV station. Since the other party has extended an olive branch, TT Video just needs to get a charter."
"We are planning to collaborate on a self-guided travel reality show, and I would like to invite my wife to be a guest." Yu Xin reported cautiously, secretly observing the chairman's facial expression.
Song Ci was noncommittal about his subordinates' invitation to his wife to participate in a variety show: "You should discuss this with her yourself."
Yu Xin breathed a sigh of relief. Since the chairman had no objection, the matter was half done. He was confident that he could convince Liu Shishi.
"Is there anything else?" Song Ci felt a little impatient. After talking for a long time, all they had been talking about were trivial matters that could be explained in an email.
"Director Song, I propose that the group acquire 56 Video Network and merge it with TT Video Network." Yu Xin's face was extremely serious. He took out another document and said cautiously, "This is a research analysis. Please review it."
Song Ci took it and read it carefully this time: "56.com has the authorization to broadcast some TV series from Hong Kong TVB!"
“Yes, 56.com’s headquarters is in Guangzhou, and the management has many connections in Hong Kong. They obtained some of TVB’s film and television copyrights through their connections.
If we can take over 56.com, it will greatly supplement the ecological content of TT Video Network."
As pages of paper were turning, Yu Xin did not dare to disturb Song Ci. He answered each question the chairman asked truthfully.
"500 million budget!" Song Ci closed the report and pondered in his mind, "I want to meet Zhou Juan, the founder of 56.com. As for whether to acquire it, let me talk to her first and then discuss it."
Yu Xin quickly agreed: "Okay, Mr. Song, I will discuss with Zhou Juan and arrange for her to come to Beijing to see you."
