My Age of Investment

  Chapter 238 Compound Talents

  In a blink of an eye, it’s already July, and good news on all fronts are spreading frequently.

  Facebook announced that it has entered Spain and then a European country.

  Because when it entered the Mexican market earlier, the Facebook team produced the Spanish version.

  So entering the Spanish market is completely natural.

  The work of converting Facebook users into YouTube users is basically completed.

  Tubing users reached more than 16.2 million, of which 15.6 million users came from Facebook, and the remaining 600,000 belonged to the natural growth of the tubing platform.

  15.6 million user conversions, higher than the original expectation of 15 million.

  But Xia Jingxing is not satisfied with this, because the number of Facebook users has exceeded 24 million, and the conversion ratio of 75% should be 18 million.

  He called the foreign girl to the office, and asked the reason sternly.

  The foreign girl said aggrievedly: “This is because YouTube has not yet released other language versions. Currently, YouTube is only available in English and has not kept up with the expansion of Facebook.”

  Xia Jingxing frowned, "Why didn't the three language versions of Western, German, and French be developed?"

"not enough people!"

  The foreign girl sighed, “In fact, the YouTube team has been working hard. In order to cope with the surge in the number of users, they have been working overtime for a month.”

   "Where is Luo Li? What is she doing?"

  Xia Jingxing's eyes were sharp. He assigned Luo Li to work early in the morning, just because he was afraid that the number of users would surge and the manpower would not be able to cope with it.

  "From last month to this month, she basically didn't have much rest. Now the oil pipeline team has expanded to more than 30 people, and the new 20 people are all recruited by her and the personnel department.

  However, these new employees have just joined and are still familiar with the working environment, and their work efficiency is not high. "

  Hearing this, Xia Jingxing's expression turned a little glaring. He was planning a major event recently, but he didn't pay much attention to the growth of oil pipeline staff.

  "Our business is developing too fast, and now all employees of the company feel like there is a vicious dog chasing behind them, and the work pressure and intensity are great."

  The foreign girl does not want the company to develop better and faster, but too fast, like a tight string, which will break at any time.

  She was very worried. If one day an employee had a leak and the tubing went down once, the consequences would be hard to imagine.

  Xia Jingxing pinched his eyebrows, he also noticed this problem.

  But the reality is that there is really a vicious dog looking at the Facebook dog, can he not worry?

  The current tubing took one month to complete the business journey of more than a year in the previous tubing.

  It’s normal to work hard, but it’s weird if you don’t work hard.

  This is still the result of his precautions. Bandwidth resources, human resources, etc. have all kept up, otherwise it will collapse prematurely.

   "There is big news!"

  The little dog walked into the office with a calm face, and when he opened his mouth, it directly made Xia Jingxing and the foreign girl nervous.

  The little dog then reported, "The tubing is about to have a competitor."

  The foreign girl asked: "Is it Google?"

  The little dog shook his head, "No, it's MySpaceVideo.

  Juyou.com **** financing, with a pre-investment valuation of 20 million U.S. dollars, find Redpoint Venture Capital to raise 10 million U.S. dollars and sell one-third of the equity.

  I have found out clearly. The requirement of Red Dot Ventures is that Juyou.com must be a video website, which may also include a gambling agreement. "

  The foreign girl stunned, "Pre-investment valuation of 20 million US dollars? Are you sure?"

  The little dog nodded, "Yes, that's all."

  The foreign girl asked: "Didn’t the market valuation of Juyou.com some time ago have reached 40 million U.S. dollars?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled, “At this moment and then, it’s not bad if there are investment institutions that dare to invest in them, and I want to take advantage of the valuation.

  This red dot venture capital is not afraid of death, and dare to play speculation in this section. "

   "As long as we achieve one-tenth of our size, we will not lose money."

  Little Dog Tan Shou said, “Because everyone has seen the magic of social and video sites outside, I think Juyou.com can replicate the miracle of the Facebook gas pipe.”

   "Then let them copy!"

  Xia Jingxing didn’t care too much, looked at the little dog, and asked, “I told you to stare at Google. How are you staring at it?”

  The little dog nodded, "I stared at it, it's still calm."

  Xia Jingxing commanded, "Keep staring, Google has troubles, let me know in time."

   Facebook is now also upgraded. Staring at opponents, they have begun to lean on companies at the level of Google.

  After having dinner and chat with Peppa that day, Xia Jingxing was pretty sure that he was paralyzed.

   But still can’t be careless.

  Google's opponents are much more difficult to deal with than the likes of Dating, Juyou, and F.

  Once it is confirmed that the direction is wrong, there are manpower and material resources to adjust the product.

  What the tubing can do is just to buy more time for development.

  …………

  …………

  "Dylan, hello, my name is Alex. I am currently the content procurement director of MTV Global Television Network under Viacom Group."

  In the meeting room on the fourth floor where the oil pipeline company is located, Xia Jingxing met a traditional media talent recommended by a headhunting company, a fat middle-aged white man with bald hair.

  This fat man was in his forties, wearing a suit, and after shaking hands with Xia Jingxing, he was sitting on the opposite side and chatting.

  Tubing wants to grow and develop, it is not enough to rely solely on Internet people.

  Although Xia Jingxing kept telling Peppa not to do network TV, he was actually fooling the latter.

   "Luo Li already talked to you, right?" Xia Jingxing asked.

  Alex nodded, "Yes, Ms. Luo Li has already introduced me to Facebook and YouTube, as well as the work that needs to be responsible after joining the YouTube."

  Xia Jingxing looked at each other and smiled faintly, "Then tell me what you think of the tubing?"

  Alex was very calm, and said without hesitation: "Okay, to sum it up in one sentence: YouTube is a "consumer media company where people watch and share original videos on the Internet."

   "Good summary, it seems you know what we are doing."

  Alex shrugged, “Of course, otherwise I won’t be here, but will continue to stay at the TV network company, waiting to be subverted.”

   "Then let you be the chief content officer CCO of the tubing, what can you do for tubing?"

  Alex smiled and said: "I have worked in the radio and television field for nearly 20 years, and I have done a series of content-related things such as content production, content channel distribution, content procurement and so on.

  Viacom’s boss, Redstone, has a good saying that content is king.

  This article also applies to the newly born network video field.

  Without good content, the audience, that is, the users of the video website, cannot be retained. "

  Xia Jingxing raised his hand and motioned for the other party to continue talking.

  "I have generally watched the videos on YouTube, and many of them are videos of users sharing their lives.

  Living life, no sense of distance, is its biggest feature.

  Because of this, I think it is so popular with everyone. "

  Alex changed the front line, "But, I think we have to guide the children to make them make better and more exciting videos."

  Xia Jingxing came to be a little interested, and asked: "Then how do you guide?"

  "First of all, the first step is to classify the video channel, just like a TV station, divide it into channels with different characteristics.

  In this way, the first advantage is that it allows video bloggers to locate themselves.

  The second advantage is that viewers, that is, ordinary users, can find interesting videos more quickly and conveniently according to their interests.

   In the second step, we can organize some activities, organize some competitions, use prizes and honors to motivate some users to shoot better videos, and at the same time accept public review.

  It can be selected based on the number of likes, the number of views, or some voting activities.

  The third step is to turn these top original content creators into Internet stars, and even promote them on TV shows, so that more people can become famous and increase the influence of YouTube.

  At the same time, it can also stimulate more users to shoot and upload videos in order to become famous, and enrich the video library of YouTube. "

  After speaking, Alex looked at Xia Jingxing with a smile, waiting for the young boss’s comment.

   "Very good, you are the person we are looking for, the CCO is you, hurry up and go through the formalities, the development of tubing waits for no one."

  Xia Jingxing is quite satisfied with this person, and feels that the other party is not conservative, understands both the media industry and Internet gameplay. What Youtube needs is this kind of compound talent.
