The 2004 New Year's Wish was a joke.
However, even though it was a joke, 2004 was a crucial year for Huanyu Technologies.
Huanyu Technologies produced several core businesses in this year.
There was instant messaging, portals, search, and mobile phones.
Although the overall scope of the business had expanded a lot, it was starting to look like a giant.
But to be honest, Chen Yu, who was used to seeing a series of giants suddenly go bankrupt in his previous life, was treading on thin ice.
For now, Huanyu Technologies only looked okay on the surface.
But it was far from being truly invincible.
Whether it was instant messaging, search engines, portals, or mobile phone business, Huanyu Technologies had strong competitors. Not to mention the gaming business. Blizzard was eyeing it covetously.
After the New Year's Lantern Festival, all the major domestic companies were on the right track.
Huanyu Technologies' employees also rushed back from all over the country.
Chen Yu gathered the company's executives for a New Year's meeting.
It was different from the meeting at the end of 2003.
The meeting at the end of 2003 was more about the year-end summary.
The year 2004 was about the outlook for the year and the future.
"Everyone is here. Take a seat."
They entered the conference room.
Chen Yu looked at each of the executives.
Every time their eyes met, Chen Yu nodded in greeting.
Then, Chen Yu continued, "Everyone did well last year. Although there were some businesses that didn't meet our expectations, the overall situation was generally good. This year is the most crucial year for Huanyu Technologies. Whether we can take another step forward will depend on our operation this year. So, I'd like to hear your thoughts this year. "
After that, Chen Yu looked at Xie Zhang. "Let's start with the first company that Huanyu Technologies established. Xie Zhang, you're the first."
Xie Zhang was in charge of the planning department, which was to come up with plans for each company.
However, as the subsidiaries grew bigger and the industry became more and more segmented, a single planning department could not bring about good development for the company. Later, Chen Yu reorganized the entire company and treated each department as a subsidiary. The person in charge of each department was equivalent to the CEO of the subsidiary.
Xie Zhang was also transferred from the original head of the planning department to the head of the 5173 network.
As for Zhang Jianming, who was originally in charge of 5173, he was directly promoted to vice president.
"Boss Chen, I'll be the first to speak. I'm a little nervous."
Xie Zhang stood up and said with some pressure.
"Why are you nervous?"
Chen Yu asked with a smile.
"Of course I am."
"Look, I'm the least educated here, and I earn the least money on the website. I'm a little embarrassed to be the first to comment."
"Who said that the one who earns the most money should be the first to speak? Besides, the 5173 network you're in charge of isn't necessarily not profitable. "
Chen Yu knew that Xie Zhang was a smart kid.
Previously, when he was doing the planning, his head was full of crooked ideas.
Back then, Xie Zhang had contributed a lot to the success of 5173.
However, although Xie Zhang was in charge of the planning department, he was only in charge of planning. He did not have much authority over the company's decisions.
Now that Xie Zhang was in charge of all 5173, it gave him a chance.
Last year, Chen Yu had heard that this guy wanted to show off his skills in the New Year.
Using this meeting, Chen Yu also wanted to hear what Xie Zhang was going to do this year.
"Since Boss Chen said so, I'll be direct."
Xie Zhang cleared his throat and said, "We have a lot of plans for 5173 this year. First, we will adjust the advertising price with our partners."
"How much?"
"30% more than the original price."
"President Xie, that's too much."
The first to respond was Zou Tao.
As the gaming department of Huanyu Technologies, 5173 network and the gaming department were both owned by Huanyu Technologies.
But even brothers had to settle accounts clearly.
As the company's business increased, the gaming department of Huanyu Technologies also had to pay advertising fees to 5173.
Zou Tao managed a lot of games. This time, the advertising fees had increased by quite a bit.
"President Zou, this is not a lot. Compared to the money you earn, we earn less."
Xie Zhang did not think that there was anything wrong with this adjustment.
Although online games were not as easy to make as a few years ago, they were still the most profitable Internet project.
Moreover, domestic online game users were still increasing by more than 40% every year.
It was normal to adjust advertising fees.
"Boss Chen, what do you think?"
After saying that, Xie Zhang looked at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu also nodded. "It's normal to adjust advertising fees. I think it's okay."
"President Zou, look."
"President Xie, I finally understand. You're using Boss Chen's order to blackmail us."
Since Chen Yu said so, Zou Tao naturally had nothing to say.
Of course, Zou Tao was just saying.
Although he had some opinions, he also understood the reason.
As a gaming portal, 5173 controlled too many resources. It was normal to increase advertising fees.
It was not high. This increase was not normal.
If 5173 was not owned by Huanyu Technologies, they could only follow if they wanted to increase advertising fees.
"However, Xie Zhang, you still can't make much money by increasing advertising fees like this."
In fact, 5173 was already very profitable.
Compared to some other websites, 5173's profitability made some other portals jealous.
However, Huanyu Technologies had too many profitable projects. 5173 seemed insignificant.
Especially when the e-commerce section was separated from 5173 to form Huanyu Mall. 5173's position in Huanyu Technologies dropped even more.
"Boss Chen, I have a second plan."
As if he knew that Chen Yu would ask this, Xie Zhang said, "As a gaming portal, our previous task was to advertise for major gaming companies. Of course, the most important thing was to promote our own games. Although we will also promote our games as soon as possible, I think 5173 can also make our own games. "
"Make our own games?"
This idea was beyond everyone's expectations.
Huanyu Technologies already had a gaming department. 5173 actually wanted to make games too.
Wasn't this using resources repeatedly?
However, after a while, everyone was impressed again.
Huanyu Technologies had a tradition of horse racing. Whoever did well would be promoted.
Although 5173 was only a gaming portal, why couldn't they make games too?
If 5173 could also make a good game, not only would it increase 5173's profits, but it would also be able to compete with Huanyu Technologies' gaming department internally.
This would also have a significant effect on increasing the company's core competitiveness.
Because of this, when Xie Zhang said that he wanted to make games, Chen Yu nodded and said, "I agree."
"Xie Zhang, do well and compete with Zou Tao."
5173 did not use resources repeatedly by making games. It would be a waste of resources if they did not make games.
With 5173's position as the number one gaming portal in the country, he could use this opportunity to enter the gaming industry.
If Xie Zhang really managed to get the 5173 into the game, then Huan Yu Technology would have another ammunition pack to send resources to the back.
If there was too much money, and they could not deal with others in the future, then they would throw money at them.
