Chapter 872 Content Is King, Concentrate on Development
As a professional financial weekly, Barron's is extremely influential in the American financial investment community.
In addition to this Burning Up article, by investigating the cash flow status of more than 200 Internet companies, it was revealed that dozens of them are about to face cash flow depletion and financing difficulties.
This kind of report is full of dry information and discloses the true status of the Internet industry in front of a large number of investors. The lethality can be imagined.
Panic began to spread in the market, and everyone recovered from their dreamlike dreams and began to sell their Internet stocks crazily. In this case, the Nasdaq index plummeted, and everything went smoothly.
It seems that the wheel of history is still rolling forward.
After putting down this article, Wu Tao suddenly felt that his head no longer hurt, his waist was no longer sore, and he felt energetic all over when he walked.
However, in the face of the collapse of the Internet industry bubble, people like Wu Tao were in the minority after all, and more people were caught off guard and found it difficult to accept it.
Especially the hard-working IT upstarts in Zhongguancun and even Huaqiangbei, China, seem to have ushered in a cold winter in the Internet industry overnight.
It’s hard to find investment, no one is doing banner ads, and even website traffic has dropped a lot...
The Great Depression in the industry has affected everyone in the industry, even everyone at Tianjing Company is no exception.
Early in the morning, Qiu Wuyan came to the office worriedly. He glanced at his boss's office out of habit. He was not there, and his worries deepened.
Two hours passed, and it was time for leisurely drinking coffee every morning.
In Tianjing Company, people stood together in small groups, and the most talked about topic was the Nasdaq Waterloo, and the sighs of despair.
When Wu Tao walked into Tianjing Company humming a little tune, his heart suddenly suddenly thought, this atmosphere was wrong!
However, he didn't think much about it. Qiu Wuyan was in charge of the overall situation at the moment, and he wouldn't care about the details.
As soon as he entered the office and sat down, Yang Zili walked in with a mysterious look on his face. Wearing his highly myopic glasses, he tried to see clearly Wu Tao's true expression when he spoke: "Boss, they say that the Great Depression is coming for the entire industry. , will it be a dead end for our company if we continue to work?"
Wu Tao raised his brows, looked at the table and said, "Lao Yang, as a product and technology person, I should be the one to ask you this question! Now that you are a leader, don't you still have your own thinking and judgment?"
"...Look at Tan Xing, now assigned to Facebook, he is making faster progress than you!"
After Wu Tao blocked his words, Yang Zili suddenly felt unlucky.
Watching Lao Yang go out in disgrace, Wu Tao shook his head secretly. Could it be that his expectations for everyone were too high? Otherwise, why do I always feel that they are growing too slowly?
Fortunately, he wasn't really angry.
Because no one was better prepared than him to face the Great Depression. Although the business of several of its Internet companies will be affected to some extent, their cash flow and financial status will not go wrong.
An Rong has returned to Jinling, and he is the only one left in the office these days.
Finally I can happily surf the Internet and play games.
I habitually opened the school network, and as soon as I took a look, I was surprised to be stunned.
The article published a few months ago titled "Only when the tide recedes do you know who was swimming naked" was unexpectedly featured on the front page of the school website.
A stream of replies followed, all with compliments such as 'worship the god' and 'true master'.
Looking at these, Wu Tao felt no emotion in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a little.
At this moment, Yang Wei at the front desk walked in holding a document bag and said, "Boss, this is the information you need to go abroad in two days."
Without raising his head, Wu Tao pursed his lips and said, "Put it there." Then he continued to open the game and prepared to play two more.
As a result, they entered the game interface, and when they were about to put on their headphones, they realized that Yang Wei was still standing in front of the table.
"Any thing else?"
Yang Wei hesitated and blushed before speaking: "Boss, I would like to ask, will our company lay off employees? I heard that many companies in Zhongguancun are not in good condition and are planning to lay off employees. …”
"Who did you listen to?" Wu Tao waved his hand, "If it doesn't happen, don't spread rumors and spread rumors."
Yang Wei was trembling on the surface, but secretly she left happily.
Although Tianjing Company is not yet a big company, the atmosphere and benefits in all aspects are quite good. If you really want to find the same job again, it may not be as good as it is now.
After Yang Wei went out, Wu Tao called Qiu Wuyan over.
Nowadays, people in the company are in a state of uncertainty. As the person directly responsible, Qiu Wuyan has an unshirkable responsibility.
So as soon as Qiu Wuyan sat down across the table, he received a scolding from Wu Tao.
As a result, Qiu Wuyan was caught off guard, feeling aggrieved and angry, and was about to cry.
This was Qiu Wuyan's carefree temperament. Anyone else would have burst into tears after being scolded like this by him.
After coming back to his senses, Wu Tao realized that this tone was a bit too much.
In fact, it's no wonder that his temper has always been very kind, so when it suddenly breaks out, he can't help but be a little unable to contain it.
Knocking on the table, his tone suddenly changed and he said earnestly: "Classmate Wuyan, where has your courage to be the best in the world gone? Do you want me to call my cousin Fang Yuan over and let her see how cute you are now?"
Qiu Wuyan immediately swallowed back her tears, "No, it's because I'm immature. I accept criticism."
"That's right!" Wu Tao said patiently: "As the person in charge of a company, you must be able to steer the ship well even when the wind is smooth and the waves are strong! Otherwise, if there is any disturbance outside, you will be the first to think about something. Yes, how can this be done?”
"...Besides, the development situation of Xiaonei Network is very good now. Although it has not yet fully achieved profitability, at least I have not withdrawn my investment. Compared with other Internet companies, your situation is already good."
"...Furthermore, there are so many research and development plans this year, the content of the school network is getting better and better, and online payment is also slowly being implemented. In this case, it is right to concentrate on development."
"...As long as you work together from top to bottom and believe in your own future, when the Great Depression is over, you will be the first to succeed."
Qiu Wuyan returned to his office, Wu Tao's words still echoing in his mind.
Over the past year or so, she has grown a lot, but her temperament has also been tempered a lot, and she has even lost her true nature.
Now that I calm down and think about it, the boss's scolding just now was not unfair at all.
When I encountered something in the past, I wouldn't be so worried about gains and losses, and would not be able to advance or retreat.
Now that I am the person in charge of the company, I am getting more and more back!
Taking out the makeup mirror from his handbag and looking in the mirror, Qiu Wuyan was immediately startled: Is this still him?
Taking a deep breath, she took out the reddest Chanel lip gloss, applied it up and down on her two thin lips, and then smiled sweetly: Yes, I am the best in the world, how could I be intimidated by this little hardship?
The next moment, Qiu Wuyan put away her cosmetic bag, picked up the phone on the desk and dialed Li Jing's landline: "Notify everyone in the company for a meeting immediately."
