Who are you calling powerful?

PPTV headquarters, large conference room

Chairman Wei Yang, the company's senior executives and some middle-level cadres were seated respectively. The actual person in charge of the company, COO Li Ji, spoke passionately about the achievements of the just-concluded summer strategy.

"As of early September, the number of registered users of our PPTV has officially exceeded 220 million, with the number reaching 60 million in the three months of summer alone. The number of paid users has reached a peak of 4.2 million, ranking first in the entire network..."

Speaking of this, even Wei Yang was shocked. He did not expect that PPTV's payment ratio was so exaggerated.

You should know that PPTV’s VIP monthly subscription is 15 to 20 yuan, a single month is 20 yuan, and continuous monthly subscription is 15 yuan.

Even if calculated at 15 yuan, 4.5 million VIP users in a single month is 67.5 million, and 810 million in twelve months of the year.

Of course, it is still unknown whether we can maintain 4.5 million monthly VIP users throughout the year, but even so, with such a high base, it is surprising enough to guarantee a certain proportion.

What Wei Yang didn't expect was that PPTV actually ranked first in the industry.

Li Ji also explained this in detail: "Because we are all exclusive resources, and we have vigorously cracked down on pirated resources, we are very effective in attracting traffic and converting paying users."

"A series of exclusive summer strategic resources, including the hit hits "Running Man 2", "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and "Flower Thousand Bones", have attracted and converted a large number of paying users."

Li Ji also made a joke. Many users opened memberships for "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and then stopped after watching the show.

As a result, not long after, "Flower Thousand Bones" became a hit, and I was forced to apply for membership for another month.

Coupled with the fact that there are many high-quality online dramas and programs such as "Running Man 3" in the middle, the paying user curve in these three months is very stable, with a step-by-step increase and no big fluctuations.

Wei Yang nodded with satisfaction and repeated the same old tune again, emphasizing that the website should not just focus on traffic and data growth, but the most important thing is to consolidate the results.

Li Ji and relevant responsible persons have expressed their approval and are preparing relevant plans.

The general goal is to make PPTV the first video website with stable paying users to exceed 5 million before the end of the year.

If this can be achieved, as long as it remains stable next year, it means that the revenue from paid users next year is likely to exceed 1 billion.

This is a milestone for PPTV, which has been burning money like crazy.

But because of this, the task difficulty is not generally high!

However, everyone at PPTV has this ambition. It has been less than half a year since the website changed owners and was reorganized. The results have been rising steadily, the data is overwhelming, and everyone's confidence has increased. In addition, there are indeed certain basic conditions, so naturally they dare to fight hard.

Boss Wei did not pour cold water on you, but generously promised: "If the goal is achieved, I will specifically ask for credit for you on the board of directors, and promotion and salary increase will not be a problem."

After that, Li Ji and several people in charge reported other achievements of the summer strategy one after another, and Wei Yang's smile became brighter and brighter.

Average daily activity on PC is 60 million!

The total installed base in the mobile market has nearly exceeded 300 million!

150 million monthly active users!

…

Eleven data items ranked first in terms of increase in June, July, and August respectively, and seven items remained in the top three. Most of the data were within the top five.

To sum up, the summer strategy was a great success, and there was another rising star in the video website field.

In fact, as long as the results of the summer strategy can be successfully digested, PPTV can officially be ranked among the first-tier video websites and become the fifth after Aiyogo and LeTV.

Shamelessly, it is not unworthy to be called one of the five giants of video websites.

"Bah bang bang!"

After the general report was completed, Wei Yang took the lead in applauding. Several people also joined in the applause, including Suning's group. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they all applauded in the face of the glory of the entire company. The atmosphere in the entire conference room was warm and harmonious.

Wei Yang also joked with the financial director with great interest: "It seems that the company will lose a lot of money this year just from issuing bonuses. Your department has been mentally prepared."

The chief financial officer is Wei Yang's confidant. In any company, finance and personnel must always be one of Wei Yang's. At this time, seeing the big boss speak, he smiled and cheered.

"The more bonuses we receive, the better our company develops. This is painful and happy at the same time."

"Happiness is good, but happiness alone is not as good as happiness for everyone. The company does not belong to me and the shareholders, but also to all employees. The company's good development is inseparable from everyone's efforts. Naturally, we should not forget everyone when we reward merits. "

Wei Yang is a veteran at inviting people to win people's hearts. Not only does he speak beautifully, but his actual actions are also unambiguous.

"Your finance department will first formulate a reward plan after the summer strategy and distribute it this month. Then at the end of the year, we will conduct a comprehensive evaluation based on everyone's performance throughout the year and give year-end rewards."

"Don't worry about finances. Only big rewards will lead to brave men. The company does not only have one summer strategy. There will also be Spring Festival and other summer strategies in the future. Employees should taste the sweetness and radiate their ambitions, so that they will be braver in the next battle."

Wei Yang has never been a stingy person in this regard.

At the work level, he may not be a very good boss or superior. Many times his attitude and requirements are inevitably harsh and serious, and occasionally his subordinates may encounter some grievances.

But as long as you finish your errands, Wei Yang has never missed a beat in terms of material rewards.

Wei Yang has always been a person who is willing to win-win with others and likes everyone to benefit and make a fortune.

This is true in companies such as Blue Whale, and it is also true now in PPTV.

What's more, the bonus this time includes half of Suning's. Everyone pays for it together, and the people's hearts and good reputation belong to Wei Yang. It is rare to have such a good thing, and Boss Wei is even more generous.

Lu Yan, the leader and CEO of Suning Group, was beside him. He hesitated for a long time and did not dare to say anything to stop it.

Just kidding, whoever jumps out at this time will be the enemy of the entire company. Even many people in the Suning family may have objections.

At that time, Suning's heart was devastated. Even if there was still a fight for the equity, the entire company was on the side of Wei.

Of course, with the success of the summer strategy, this situation is almost the same now, but as Suning's agent, Lu Yan still did not lose his mind and handed the knife to Boss Wei and then slashed Suning one by one.

But it's a pity that his concession was not pitied by Boss Wei.

Immediately after the conference, the company held another high-level meeting.

Boss Wei announced that the company will strike while the iron is hot, consolidate results, overhaul internal strength, and make plans and prospects for the next few months and even next year.

To put it bluntly, while the momentum is good, spend another sum of money to continue the big fight.

This amount of money is not a fraction, and it is not enough to rely solely on the funds on PPTV’s books.

Therefore, with a wave of his hand, Boss Wei, all 1.5 billion yuan will be received within this month, and there will be another 1.5 billion yuan replenished before the end of the year.

Hearing this, Lu Yan felt a pain in his heart.

The last time it was 500 million, he had to play low in front of Li Ji to gain some free time, and he went to Suning headquarters several times to get the funds.

How long has this been stable? Suddenly it was 1.5 billion, and there will be another 1.5 billion in the future. This family named Wei opened a bank?

Out of instinct, Lu Yan immediately found excuses to delay and buy himself time.

"Chairman, the last fund of 1 billion has only been used for a few months, and this one will soon cost billions. Isn't the noise a bit too big? The company's development must be steady and steady. Too much rashness can easily lead to mistakes."

"It's not that I'm rash, it's that time waits for no one."

Wei Yang had already anticipated Lu Yan's reaction and immediately retorted.

"Although we have just won a battle, it does not mean that we can live quietly."

"iQiyi has just merged into PPS and is aggressively producing self-made dramas and online movies. Penguin Video is backed by the largest traffic pool and ranks first in the industry in terms of channel traffic. Youku Tudou is a long-established leader with a profound foundation. Boss Jia of LeTV Ecology is booming, and the stock market value is like a rocket."

"There is also Sohu, which has not been developing smoothly in the past two years, but it has also relied on the introduction of American TV series to separate itself. There is also the emerging Mango TV, with the support of Hunan Province TV station, it will also be a threat in the future."

"Surrounded by powerful enemies and the market is fierce, there is no room for us to act steadily. If we are slower, we will die. Only by taking big steps forward and fighting hard can we survive and strengthen."

"The situation is just right now because of the summer strategy. We must not let out the anger we have finally accumulated. Otherwise, all our previous efforts will be wasted and you and I will become PPTV's sinners."

Weiyang Balabala spoke out, emphasizing the necessity of investing money. Without investing money, the company would be doomed, blocking all Lu Yan's excuses.

Not only did he block him back, but in order to prevent Lu Yan from playing tricks, Wei Yang even hit him with words.

"Mr. Lu, you have to pay attention to this matter. You are most familiar with Suning. You must communicate more. If Boss Zhang agrees to invest more together, do it quickly."

"Last time, Mr. Li reported to me that the 500 million yuan had been delayed for a while. This should not have happened. Everyone in the company was anxiously waiting for the money. If it is delayed for one day, it will delay countless things."

"So, we can't delay this time. We must negotiate a suitable deadline. If the funds are not available by then, we will hold a board meeting and follow the procedures."

The meaning is very clear, Suning will either pay or give up its shares in proportion.

After the summer strategy, the general trend has been achieved, the company is united, and funds have been allocated in place. Wei Yang no longer wants to act, and has made it clear that he will use Suning's army.

Lu Yan also understood this, and his face looked very ugly.

But he had no choice. Wei Yang was already strong, and now with the power of victory, he had almost no room to resist.

When Li Ji saw this, he was relieved and said, "Mr. Lu, I think this is something that Boss Zhang will understand."

"After "Flower Thousand Bones", the outside world's valuation of our company has increased, and it once approached tens of billions. If there is a large amount of capital injection, even if it cannot reach the level of Ai You Ge, it will not be too different. From this aspect In other words, Suning has made a profit."

As a major shareholder, Wei Yang hopes to dilute Suning's equity and make his rule more stable.

But Li Ji is the manager, the actual manager of PPTV. Although he supports the boss behind him to go further, he hopes to make a fortune from Suning.

Even if Suning only contributes 500 million, it can still do a lot for PPTV, so Li Ji really hopes that Lu Yan can get some money from Suning.

In this regard, Wei Yang did not stop anything.

First, he did not believe that Suning would be as willing to spend another 3 billion on PPTV as he was.

Secondly, as long as Suning does not seize power and cause trouble, he does not care that PPTV has a shareholder who is willing to pay, which is also beneficial to PPTV.

To be honest, if he really collects 6 billion funds, Wei Yang will be worried about how to spend it for a while. This will be an unprecedented battle for wealth...

…

Lu Yan left the meeting room worriedly. Other executives, including the old PPTV employees, looked relaxed and chatted and laughed.

Again, the heart of the people is with me.

At present, within PPTV, it goes without saying that those in Wei Yang's group are all his confidants. Any new recruits who join the company will be under the command of Wei Yang and Li Ji, so they can be considered direct relatives.

And the old employees of PPTV basically returned home after witnessing the rise of the company and various inducements.

Even many people from Suning's group defected to Wei Yang secretly or openly.

After all, PPTV and Suning are not simply superior-subordinate relationships. After Wei Yang took over, the two parties became completely independent of each other. In theory, these employees are all employees of PPTV, so it is reasonable to choose to abandon the dark side and join the bright side.

Afterwards, Wei Yang chatted with Li Ji and others about the subsequent plans.

Now that the summer strategy is over, it will be relatively easy in the future, and some of Wei Yang's attention will be transferred to other places, so everything needs to be clearly explained here.

Things are still very complicated. For some, Wei Yang only needs to know the results and does not need to intervene. For others, he still needs to give a general direction and requirements.

Although Wei Yang was not a professional in running a video website, he could not bear the thought that he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running away.

Especially as a professional screenwriter and entertainment company executive in his previous life, he actually had a lot of dealings with major platforms and knew some inside information. It’s hard to say whether it will be of specific use to PPTV, but at any rate it was an inspiration.

After chatting until the evening, Wei Yang simply arranged dinner for several senior executives as a way to connect with each other.

Originally he wanted to find a restaurant, but when he passed by a barbecue restaurant and saw the huge flow of people, Wei Yang was a little tempted, so he suggested eating barbecue.

It's early September, the weather is still hot, and barbecue is indeed more interesting than a restaurant, so a group of executives with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands happily accompany their boss out of the car to have skewers.

Today is a conference, and a big boss is here, so many people are wearing suits and shirts, which is somewhat out of place at the barbecue stall.

However, there are a lot of white-collar workers in Magic City, and many of them require formal attire, which is not too novel. If you go to any other place, people might guess whether it is the collective team building company that sells insurance.

Wei Yang was also wearing a suit today, but it was a casual style.

Now when I'm eating out, I take off my coat, put it on the horse, then unbutton two shirt buttons inside, roll up my sleeves neatly, and start peeling crayfish.

Most of the senior executives are Wei Yang's confidants and have had many dinners with him, but most of them were in mid-to-high-end restaurants or related parties. Food stalls like this are relatively rare.

Therefore, everyone was a little confused when they saw that the usually majestic and serious boss had such a down-to-earth side.

A few belatedly realized that the billionaire and business tycoon in front of them seemed to be less than 30 years old this year. He was a young man who was spending his youth wantonly.

And where they were not paying attention, a bald young man at the next table was excitedly raising his mobile phone secretly and pointing it at Wei Yang, who was deliberately sitting in an unnoticed corner and covered with wide-framed flat glasses.

"I'm pretty good at hiding, thanks to my sharp eyesight, hahaha, if a big star and a rich man masturbate late at night, if I post the video and photos on Weibo, I can get at least 500 followers..."
