What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 143: Be normal
It was Yu Xing’s first time recording a program and he thought it was so fresh and interesting.

Of course, there is a risk of doing something wrong on stage, but after communicating with Tang Jun, I feel more relaxed.

What's more, Yu Xing doesn't have to compete with others. He can complete the task just by observing and recruiting people and expressing his opinions normally.

On the morning of May 5, Bai Xiaosheng held a meeting and mentioned the recording of "If You Are the One".

CEO Yu Xing introduced the relevant work to his colleagues and talked about the possible schedule. He did not want to show off his fresh program recording experience, but asked everyone to do some platform operations to cooperate with the program broadcast in the next month.

Yu Xing's introduction was very plain, but the atmosphere in the conference room seemed to be a replica of yesterday's recording scene.

"Tang Jun is not coming, and Zhen Gongfu is probably going to get into trouble soon. Senior brother, you must restrain yourself, otherwise, the boss next to you will be restless..." Lu Haiying reminded with a smile.

"The program's mechanism is good. We just need the first few shows to make it more popular." Yu Xing shook his head. "It's not like everyone has problems. There's no question of restraint."

Lu Haiying glanced at other colleagues in the conference room and saw a similar look on their faces. At the same time, she felt that no one else but Yu was qualified to be on the show.

It was still the same time in the afternoon. Yu Xing was not late this time and met the BOSS who came on as a substitute early.

What should I say?

It's the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.

The substitute today is Huang Huiwen, vice president of Tudou.com.

Yu Xing is also very familiar with Tudou.com because the marital problems of its founders before its IPO were particularly well-known.

He sat in his seat silently, and suddenly felt that the circle was really chaotic.

"Hey, Mr. Yu, let's start."

Sitting next to him was Li Shanyou, CEO of the video website Ku6.com. When he saw the host come on stage, he reminded Yu Xing, who was thinking about something with his head down.

Yu Xing first instinctively recalled Ku6.com in his mind, and then smiled at Li Shanyou in a friendly manner.

There seemed to be nothing wrong, except that the company didn't survive.

Today is the second recording session, and part of the audience has already been replaced, but the situation during yesterday’s recording is still lingering in the minds of the host, BOSS group, and program crew.

As soon as Zhang Shaogang finished the opening process, he cue Yu Xing first in the topic.

"Mr. Yu, what do you think of today's guest lineup?"

Zhang Shaogang felt that this sentence was a bit abrupt, so he added: "After all, Bai Xiaosheng Company is the title sponsor of our program."

Yu Xing knew what he wanted to do, and pretended to look around at the boss, then said: "It seems that I am the orthodox descendant of Western Pacific University."

Some of the audience who participated in yesterday's recording laughed out loud along with the bosses.

Zhang Shaogang joked, "Mr. Yu, your degree certificate is gone."

Yu Xingping said calmly: "I have glued it back together. It is still on the wall of my office. I think it is quite commemorative."

Zhang Shaogang shook his head speechlessly, not knowing whether this segment would be cut, but he was trying to figure out how to play the show and already had a preliminary idea of ​​the young company boss.

Tang Jun is not here today, but the program will continue.

Yu Xing wanted to take it easy, so he recorded the show in a low-key manner. The first three contestants all had their lights turned off in the first round.

Zhang Shaogang was a little unhappy. Before the fourth contestant came on stage, he cue Yu Xing again and asked, "Mr. Yu, I noticed that you turned off the lights early. What position are you looking for when you come to this stage?"

Yu Xing said seriously: "I want to find a vice president who can be responsible for developing our website recruitment business."

"Vice president? Well, Mr. Yu is looking for high-level elites. Friends in the recruitment industry in front of the TV, the founder of Bai Xiaosheng is sending out invitations for heroes." Zhang Shaogang said this, and then asked with a smile, "What kind of treatment can Mr. Yu offer?"

Yu Xing said without hesitation: "The annual salary plus options is about one million."

Zhang Shaogang was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was just a boast by the young people. However, Yu Xing's previous performance was very topical, and he was also the title advertiser of the program. For a moment, he was a little hesitant whether to accept it or fight back.

But he didn't respond immediately. Li Jing from Lefeng.com on the other side smiled.

"Hey, Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu, you can't hype it up like this just to promote the company." Li Jing did not agree.

"This is not hype. Our company is in urgent need of high-end talents in this field. Well, let me be more specific about the requirements." Yu Xing baited the camera, "The candidate must have extensive experience in the industry and be at least a vice president in the company. He must also have certain team resources."

Cai Dabiao, who really wanted to attack her husband, complained at this time: "Boss Yu, I'll go to your place."

Yu Xing really didn't want to deal with this person, so he responded with two words: "No."

Cai Dabiao sneered and said, "Although Mr. Yu only started his business last year, he is really boastful. He will use options to make promises this year."

Yu Xing was forced to continue to respond: "Our company has received angel round, A round, and B round from last year to now, with a total of nearly 1100 million US dollars in funding, and the overall valuation is 5000 million US dollars. Can't I discuss options with the people I want to recruit?"

Cai Dabao disagreed: "Options also depend on conditions and mechanisms. It's useless to talk about options in vain." "Anyway, I'm not hiring you, so I won't talk to you about this." Yu Xing was very straightforward.

Cai Dabao was angry.

"Okay, okay, bosses, please calm down. We are willing to see different opinions discussed, but more time will be left for job seekers." Zhang Shaogang took control of the situation, pushed forward the process, and invited the fourth job seeker to come up.

This is another job seeker who is looking for e-commerce.

From yesterday to today, 9 out of the 3 job seekers who have come on stage are working in e-commerce.

This time, Yu Xing heard a topic that interested him and turned off the lights a little later.

LeTao.com and LeFeng.com are typical vertical e-commerce companies that are operating in niche areas, which is an emerging direction of Internet e-commerce in the past two years.

Bi Sheng sells toys and shoes, while Li Jing does women's fashion shopping. The two have different views on vertical e-commerce.

Yu Xing feels that this kind of communication and collision is interesting and inspiring.

The host Zhang Shaogang noticed Yu Xing's focused thinking and cue him in time: "Mr. Yu, I see that you have been listening very carefully to Mr. Bi and Mr. Li talking about e-commerce. What do you think about this?"

"I don't have too many opinions." Yu Xing followed the idea of ​​exchanging business knowledge and said, "I just heard what Mr. Li said just now and I have a question in my mind."

Li Jing was not afraid of the stage and said directly: "You go ahead."

"I heard Mr. Li introduce Lefeng.com and mentioned that you have TV program resources and are using the program "Beauty" as a traffic portal. Mr. Li himself has celebrity resources, but I am quite surprised that I don't seem to see any Lefeng.com advertisements on the Internet." Yu Xing pointed out a problem after thinking about it, "This marketing method is somewhat lacking."

Li Jing responded: "I have some achievements on TV programs, which is the biggest traffic source for our website. I am not as good at fighting fakes as you, Mr. Yu. Besides, I have to be responsible for the investors' money since I took their money. Internet advertising is very expensive."

There was a hint of sarcasm in these words.

Yu Xing frowned slightly, but still said calmly: "After listening to Mr. Li's explanation, I find it even more strange. Let's put aside the fancy introduction and return to the essence. An Internet e-commerce website does not start with online marketing, but relies on TV programs for promotion. Is this logic really okay?"

"The Internet has a distinct characteristic: it spreads quickly and has a strong momentum, whereas TV programs are obviously much slower."

"I think it is questionable that an e-commerce website does not conduct marketing in line with the characteristics of the Internet era."

On the other side, Bi Sheng, CEO of LeTao.com, slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, I agree with what Mr. Yu said. As an e-commerce company, you don't engage in the Internet, but instead engage in offline programs. This is a problem in the fundamental strategy."

Yu Xing nodded slightly and continued to discuss: "Yes, the design of the company's strategy is very important. As the saying goes, an incompetent general can exhaust the entire army. The development time of vertical e-commerce is actually very precious..."

Li Jing suddenly stood up, interrupting the two people's singing in unison, and waved her hand: "No more recording, no more recording!"

She went straight backstage.

Yu Xing was stunned and stopped talking. Wasn’t it that what he said was too much?

Zhang Shaogang signaled for an intermission and the audience could go to the restroom first.

Yu Xing was discussing the issue seriously. What he had in mind was the subsequent failure of vertical e-commerce companies such as Lefeng.com and Letao.com, and he also pointed out the obvious problems he heard.

Therefore, he felt quite innocent at the moment, and had to ask Li Shanyou of Ku6.com next to him in confusion: "Mr. Li, is there something wrong with what I said?"

Li Shanyou thought for a while and said with a smile: "Actually, I think what you said just now makes sense, but she probably won't listen to it. Her influence is mainly on TV shows."

Yu Xing sighed slightly: "I just want to talk about my views on vertical e-commerce."

At this time, producer Xu Rongxuan hurried over and whispered to Yu Xing: "Mr. Yu, there is no need to worry about the program effects. Let's just record normally today."

Yu Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Director Xu, I didn't do anything for the effect. I was speaking from the heart. I do think Lefeng.com has some important flaws."

Xu Rongxuan said seriously: "Mr. Yu, please be normal."

Yu Xing: “…”

He said a little aggrievedly: "I am normal now!"

Xu Rongxuan frowned and said, "Then you have to find someone. Li Jing is not Tang Jun."

Yu Xing said helplessly: "I don't discriminate against people, don't persuade me, go persuade her."

"Be normal, and end the day normally. You don't want to work overtime, do you?" Xu Rongxian decided to persuade Li Jing, and gave Yu Xing some final instructions.

Yu Xing really found it funny: "Hey, Director Xu, let me tell you the truth. Hey, am I not the sponsor?"

Xu Rongxuan was amused: "The sponsor can't do whatever he wants. Stop it, stop being so sharp."

Yu Xing watched the producer jogging to the backstage again. He could only look up at the lights above, feeling helpless.

I am really discussing this normally, and I even mean well!
Is this...is this the emperor's new clothes?
I didn't do it. I'm normal. I just wanted to stop this company from going off the cliff, that's all...
