"We won't play with them anymore."
Cheng Ran's words made everyone at the table stop talking. The atmosphere of depression, depression, and anger floating in the entire conference room seemed to be swept away by his words. Everyone sat up straight and looked at him, appearing excited and agitated.
Lin Xiaosong was watching all this from the side. He was different from the people present in that he had seen the "world". After all, he used to be the president of a telecommunications tertiary industry company. Perhaps Zhao Qing was the only one he and he had something in common with. He knew very well under what circumstances a boss could, with just a few words, cheer up the people under his command and give them courage in the face of adversity.
Being good to your opponents and seeking benefits for them is only the foundation; a higher level is to build their spiritual pursuits. This requires that your decisions have been tested and that your vision is sharp enough to transcend the confusion of those in front of you. You can be like a lighthouse pointing the way in the storm.
This makes people nostalgic. When Lin Xiaosong left the company, many people wanted to follow him. It was his personal charm that made everyone think he was a good boss. But a good boss does not mean a wise boss, or a boss who will eventually succeed and reach the platform of success.
He was defeated by the local policy that later did not allow telecommunications companies to open tertiary industry companies, and by the turbulent situation, so he was alone at the time and did not dare to ask his subordinates to follow him.
He came out alone, and he didn't have the ambition or vision to think that he could be responsible for the lives of those who followed him. If everyone's business failed in the end, how would he explain it to his subordinates? How would he face their parents, wives and children
But he saw such people again later, in Boss Ma and Cheng Ran. Especially Cheng Ran, who was just a high school student, but he could make these adults with skills follow him.
This only proves that he is right.
But Lin Xiaosong has also witnessed such things, the growth of CQ, and its current upward trend in online social networking that fits the new generation of netizens, and even the popularity of the Lingyu game he led. The servers were purchased in batches, and when he thought of the CQ tower server groups formed into an array in the telecommunications room, he truly felt the substantial weight of the career he was engaged in.
Now, when they encountered a thorny problem, Cheng Ran said, "It doesn't matter, we will solve it," which immediately ignited the atmosphere in the conference room. It was like a general arranging his troops, and they were all willing to be his vanguard generals.
Seeing everyone's gaze, Cheng Ran smiled and eased the atmosphere, "This is the importance of a special forces unit at this time."
Cheng Ran's confident aura gave everyone present a sense of stability and control, but it just happened that his young face made people in the conference room feel strange. If someone had no idea of the whole story and was watching this scene, would they think that they were a cult
The special forces in Cheng Ran's words. What does special forces mean? On the surface, it is easy to understand, but the inner meaning, could it be that Cheng Ran has already laid a foreshadowing in this group of people
Great! It turns out that everyone is playing a game of Three Kingdoms, and there is a traitor planted by the boss among them. Everyone is kept in the dark, and now everyone is looking around. If they find out who it is, they will definitely make him drink a lot of wine after the next business!
Everyone looked at each other at this time, but they all looked innocent, with expressions like, "It's not me. Didn't I hear him tell me?"
Seeing everyone in a moment of confusion, Cheng Ran said to Chen Yuzhong, "Director Chen, I asked you to be in charge of CQ's marketing and field teams. How is the scale of construction going now?"
Chen Yuzhong's hands faltered as he started playing with the file book.
When everyone's eyes were directed at him, he almost stood up from his seat. Was he the one being targeted
It is well known to everyone that Chen Yuzhong is responsible for building the marketing team and collecting feedback on CQ user data.
Chen Yuzhong said, "Capital, Zhonghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen... Using the original tabletop game sales system, the tabletop game agents in each city have been incorporated into our CQ coin agent channel. Now we have agents in major cities. I now have a team of 20 people at the first level. Each person is responsible for a major city or important region, responsible for contacting agents in various cities, and collecting data through Internet cafes. They have more than a hundred people at the second level."
Where can we get first-hand data on the current software and virtual communities? Of course, it cannot be in residential buildings in the community. The most intuitive place is, of course, the rising trend of Internet cafes in major cities and even in second- and third-tier cities and towns.
Chen Yuzhong's investigators obtained data from Internet cafes one by one, including CQ's online usage rate, virtual community occupancy time, etc. Chen Yuzhong spent a certain amount of money here every month, which was equivalent to using money to buy information. This money seemed unnecessary within CQ, but Cheng Ran insisted on doing so, regardless of the additional operating costs.
After hearing what Cheng Ran had said before about the "special forces" and then hearing what Chen Yuzhong said, everyone realized that this might be the "hidden chess game" laid by General Cheng.
Cheng Ran said to Chen Yuzhong, "It's time to use Director Chen's special forces. Can we transfer CQ coins from the original board game agent channel to local urban and rural Internet cafes and talk directly to the Internet cafe managers? Before, we paid for their information, but now we let them sell our CQ coins. With the rise of the Spirit Realm, CQ coins will usher in a large amount of consumption, and Internet cafe owners can get sales rebates. I believe they are very willing to do such a thing."
In fact, even if Yu Bi's incident had not happened, Cheng Ran had already been planning this. He previously asked Chen Yuzhong to form a team to expand the board game sales system. This was to allow Chen Yuzhong's team to become familiar with the sales routes as quickly as possible. He also asked them to collect data through Internet cafes, to establish initial contact with Internet cafes, and to build up the channels.
At that time, only CQ coins were launched, and the Lingyu game had not yet been launched, so there was no need to use this system. After Lingyu was launched, it also adopted the traditional distribution model of cooperation with Yubi. This is because CQ is not a full-time game company after all, and it does not involve the construction of a one-stop game production, marketing, and distribution system. There is no way to cultivate and expand channels while the game is being produced and debugged in full swing. For example, it took Yubi three years to support this set of the largest traditional distribution channels in the country.
Things have to be done step by step. Now that the Spirit Realm is online and the Yubi route is blocked, we can free up manpower and material resources to do this.
That is, using Internet cafes that are popular because of online games to sell tokens.
The previous life CQ prototype company, when the number of users approached 100 million, still lacked a profit model and tried many methods, including developing a membership system, advertising, corporate business, and even charging for registration of Q numbers. These methods all failed one after another, or were not successful enough. In short, these failures were all due to the lack of payment methods.
In an era when there was no Alipay, no WeChat Pay, and banks did not even have online banking services, consumers who wanted to buy virtual products had to go to the post office to remit money, or rely on the traditional publishing and distribution channels to purchase cards, which was fraught with trouble.
Due to lack of revenue, Tencent once stopped free QQ number registration, which resulted in overwhelming criticism and also attracted attacks from more than 30 competitors of similar products. It can be said that it was struggling to find suitable payment revenue.
But at that time, Shanda had already expanded its point card sales channels to Internet cafes. The Internet cafes sold point cards and took commissions, which made it easy to resolve the problems encountered by Tencent.
The popularity of Lingyu Game unexpectedly gave Cheng Ran the opportunity to pursue this path.
"I will immediately start preparing a plan and try to have it ready tonight. After the plan is finalized overnight, I will hand it down to my subordinates tomorrow so that they can familiarize themselves with it as soon as possible..."
“That’s the priority.”
Cheng Ran nodded, and he had perfected the whole idea in his mind. He looked at Li Mingshi and Lin Xiaosong, "Secondly, Huazhang has created the first school administrative management system. You can get the source code and use it as a template to quickly develop an online sales management system. I have a few requirements. First, the sales system should implement the classification of agents, and registered agents should use the prepaid model.
How to use the prepaid mode
Funds are first injected into each account. The account owner needs to deposit the funds into our account in advance through postal remittance or credit card to realize capital flow.
Second, the sales system establishes an information flow. The sales accounts that pay for capital injection can obtain the account keys for the gaming period through this system that is connected to our server. We will build an encryption system on top of it.”
Cheng Ran looked at Cheng Qi and Ren Qi, "You are running the board game studio, don't stop publishing channels, and use a parallel model of real cards and virtual cards in Internet cafes. Virtual cards will be sold through the online sales system. Real cards will be sent to various agents through the board game logistics."
Cheng Ran speaks clearly and concisely, and his thoughts are meticulous. Every word he speaks makes people listen attentively, not wanting to miss a single detail.
This series of orders really seemed like the eve of a major war, with general orders being issued one after another to mobilize the troops.
Everyone present reacted instantly. The biggest problems in building a distribution channel are efficiency, logistics, and capital. This restricts the construction of a systematic distribution channel.
Why is CQ restricted by Yubi? That is because Yubi controls the channels for capital recovery. Yubi has held CQ's capital for two months, which is already very difficult. If CQ had not relied on Cheng Ran's continuous blood transfusion and its own blood-making ability, it would have basically run out of money now.
This is also what everyone cares about most for CQ. It is also what Yubi can rely on.
And the method and system proposed by Cheng Ran.
Solved the logistics.
It solves the problem of fund collection that has troubled everyone in the past.
Even through online sales, high efficiency has been achieved.
Three major issues.
Conquer them one by one.
They may even have large sums of cash!
Lin Xiaosong had been taking notes from the beginning. After he had written the entire process in a tree diagram, he spread out his notes, squinted his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said with determination on his face, "Excellent!"
