The CEO's office at the Penguin Music Building.
"Mr. Gu, the latest data shows..."
"In the past two weeks, our downloads on major software platforms have reached 15 million."
"The platform has gained approximately 12 million new users."
"Of these, ten million are new users and two million are returning users."
"Compared to an increase of approximately one million people in the same period, the growth rate is as high as 120 times."
"The number of people increased by about three million compared to the previous period, representing a growth rate of 275 times."
At the meeting.
Data Department Manager Zhan presented recent data using a PowerPoint presentation.
Below sat General Manager Gu, Manager Huang, Manager Zhou, and others.
Manager Zhan paused, glanced around, and then continued his report.
"To date, these new users have boosted the platform's popularity by approximately 30 million."
"On the charts of major music apps, we have already far surpassed the second place and are currently in first place."
"However, it is worth noting that this is based on historical performance."
"In the latest music app rankings, Gugu Music ranks first in all comprehensive data."
"Whether it's popularity, downloads, or new users, they far surpass our platform."
"The reason for this is related to the free model of Gugu Music. On the Gugu Music platform, you can listen to Zhou Tianyi's songs for free."
At this point, Manager Zhan glanced at Manager Zhou.
Back then, Manager Zhou's insistence on removing Zhou Tianyi's songs from the shelves had already caused quite a stir.
In less than a few days, the platform became a hot topic because of Zhou Tianyi.
"Continue," President Gu said.
Manager Zhan nodded and presented the most important data.
Whether it's downloads or new users, the most important thing is converting them into paying users.
These users are the core user base of major music platforms.
"Of these 12 million users, about 7 million are monthly paying members, accounting for 58%."
"The number of paying users in a single quarter was three million, accounting for 25%."
"The number of annual paying users is one million, accounting for 8%."
"The remaining users are pure users, accounting for 9%."
"The reason we're in this situation today is all because of one person: Zhou Tianyi!"
After Manager Zhan finished speaking, he sat down.
The meeting room fell silent immediately.
No one spoke, their gazes shifting between President Gu and Manager Zhou.
Throughout the meeting, Manager Zhou's face had been gloomy, and now it was completely expressionless.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and stood up: "Everyone, this was a major mistake on my part. I will submit a transfer application to headquarters."
As a manager, making a wrong decision is an extremely serious mistake. Manager Zhou almost caused the company to lose a lot of profits, so naturally he has no face to stay.
He was already prepared for a job transfer, which was practically the same as resigning, just put it more politely.
"sit down."
At this moment, General Manager Gu waved his hand, signaling Manager Zhou to sit down.
Manager Zhou opened his mouth, but finally sat down.
"You're new to the company, so you haven't had much contact with Zhou Tianyi and don't know him well. That's why you're naturally influenced by the internet."
"It's not your fault, just be more careful next time."
After Mr. Gu finished speaking, Manager Zhou's expression changed slightly.
He looked at President Gu with a grateful expression: "President Gu, I..."
"No need to say anything more."
President Gu stood up and stopped him.
"Everyone, this is an opportunity. Our platform hasn't done enough to develop strategies for Zhou Tianyi."
"His songs are not limited to those on the platform; many of his songs are copyrighted by Gugu Music."
"Manager Wu, could you go and negotiate with the Gugu Music platform to see if we can spend more money to buy the copyrights of some songs? We're okay with taking a smaller share of the profits."
"Understood," Manager Wu replied immediately.
"Alright, that concludes the meeting."
President Gu announced the end of the meeting.
On the way back.
Manager Zhou didn't say anything and silently walked towards his workstation.
Suddenly, he looked at Manager Huang in front of him and took small steps to stand beside him.
"Um?"
Manager Huang noticed Manager Zhou and couldn't help but look at him.
"Old Huang, I was too impulsive before, please don't mind."
"It's alright, it's all for the company, I understand," Manager Huang said with a smile.
"By the way, Lao Huang, I still don't quite understand. Is Zhou Tianyi really that amazing?"
Manager Zhou hesitated for a long time before finally asking.
While information about Zhou Tianyi can be found online, it is incomplete.
After watching it, he felt that Zhou Tianyi was at most a singer of the same level as the top singers.
Such singers are not worthy of such attention from the behemoth that Tencent's platform is so powerful.
On the other hand, Gu and his people, even in the face of public opinion, never removed his songs from the shelves, and did not compromise in the slightest.
This is completely inconsistent with the company's development philosophy and profit model.
Hearing Manager Zhou's question, Manager Huang patted the young man on the shoulder.
The other party was able to become a manager at a younger age, so their experience and skills are not necessarily weaker than theirs.
The only thing lacking is experience, which takes time to accumulate.
Manager Huang said, "Don't you already know how capable Zhou Tianyi is?"
"But if Zhou Tianyi is so talented, why didn't President Gu buy all the copyrights to his songs back then?"
Manager Zhou raised his doubts.
