Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 371 Time flies

There is no doubt that Qu Li is good at drawing cakes. Many Jumei Glory engineers and programmers were fooled by him.Although educated people think a lot and have many eyes, Qu Li has proved himself. Worshiping the strong is a traditional skill of educated people, otherwise there would not be so many public figures.

Lu Jinbo was undoubtedly taken over by Qu Li and became the person in charge of Time Reading. Of course, it would take time for him to resign and quit, and his appointment would have to be postponed. As for where to work, Qu Li did not impose any restrictions. It was up to him to choose. , but if you want to shoulder more responsibilities, you obviously need to work in the headquarters and be familiar with other business processes.

Oh no, Shiguang Company currently has very few processes, including programmers, there is no mandatory check-in system, and there are no OKRs or KPIs.If it doesn't exist now, it doesn't mean it won't exist in the future. The establishment of all rules needs to adapt to the development of matching enterprises.

Qu Li worked in two companies, Time and Qiancheng Motors, and thought nothing would happen to him outside in the short term. Unexpectedly, Bill Gates and Buffett deceived a group of people abroad into making donation pledges, and then went to China to call on wealthy Chinese to donate. , 50 people were invited, and Qu Li was one of them.

Although Qu Li didn't want to offend them, what would others think if he didn't attend such a global event?They are still those rich and generous people who make a lot of money in silence. Not only can they support several girls at the same time, but they will not be kidnapped by morality and persuaded to donate.

He had no choice but to speed up negotiations with the provincial government and Changfeng Group. Honorable Chen Jingqiu came with a team to help him. Changfeng Group wanted to buy the Cheetah brand, Yangzi Pickup, and the Yongzhou base.

Qu Li didn't feel anything, and the others were a little indignant. They felt that Hunan Province was burning bridges across the river, and Qiancheng Automobile's situation had just improved, so they just thought, just thought...

No matter what they thought, the people at Jumei Futures felt that Qu Li could not be allowed to negotiate with the provincial government because it would be too easy to suffer a loss.

If you can't participate in negotiations, then just continue your career. Qu Li focused on Shizhihu, a question and answer community. It was not difficult to develop, but no one paid attention to it, so the progress was naturally slow.

At this time, Baidu already has a "know" service, but unfortunately the quality of the answers is uneven and does not have much reference value. The Zhihu created by Qu Li refers to the Quora model and is another niche product.

The value of Zhihu may only be traffic. Anyway, he can't figure out how to make money by opening Zhihu. Is it recruitment?How much money can you make by selling information flow ads?Perhaps there is another one, that is, there are a large number of UP owners on the Internet who have creative ability and willingness to create.

The music of time is green, but the time is blue and white?How about unifying the base colors of Time.com and using green or blue and white for books, movies, and audio?Qu Li and Guo Tao discussed.

"What's the point of doing this?"

"Then what do you mean by my New Year's Eve speech?"

"Isn't it just for publicity?"

"Do you think publicity is my purpose?"

Guo Tao had a questioning look on his face and seemed to say, "Isn't it true?"

"No matter what product we make, we must first create value for users, that is, find the meaning of our existence. Honor is to create excellent products, Jumei is to provide consumers with high-quality and low-priced products, and the ancient song is..." Qu Li finally had a chance to brag.

"My speech is to allow the audience to break out of the information cocoon. Many things we take for granted may not be known or thought about by most ordinary people. But my speech only comes once a year, and time makes a difference. Well, every question and answer is a popularization of science, which I think is very meaningful. Moreover, we adopt an invitation system, which not only raises the threshold but also increases the reference value of the answers.”

"Okay, you won." Guo Tao was speechless. Qu Li's words were so high and deep that people couldn't fault him. He just felt that there were too many clichés. Could it be that he lacked the height of the pattern?

Qu Li’s words are half true and half false. It’s unrealistic to expect a junior high school student to have such a high profile, but his purpose of doing things is really not just for money. Zhihu Douban has not been profitable for a long time, and then the user experience has plummeted. Reference The value gradually disappears.But now that Douban is in his hands, he has WeChat on the left and Instagram on the right. He needs traffic and traffic, and profits and profits. How can he maintain a few unprofitable businesses without losing money?

Besides, is it really worthless?With so many creators concentrated on this website, is it difficult to transform into a video creator?Then lower the difficulty and become a headliner or a self-media creator. Is it still difficult?

Qu Li won't say this now. It depends on the situation. Who knows whether he will still be interested in it in a few years. Even if he continues the current development route, time will not fade.

To polish the time, Qu Li does not need to stay at the headquarters of Time Company for a long time. Although Qiancheng Motor does not need him to negotiate with Changfeng Group, there are still many things that need him. For example, the adjustment of the production line requires not only money but also people. Such a change If there are too many, can the quality still be guaranteed?

Qu Li was watching the scene, and there were engineers around him to answer questions. Even if he didn't understand anything, others wouldn't dare to fool him.

Qiancheng CS6 was released during the off-season for car buying. During the Golden Week and Silver Ten, although it did not participate in any auto shows and did not offer any preferential promotions, it still attracted many buyers, so some dealers began to increase sales.

As mentioned before, Qiancheng Automobile does not have many 4S stores. After more than a year of development, it has established 4S stores in first-tier and provincial capital cities across the country.Therefore, the ability to control channels is relatively weak now. Things like mark-up sales have been around since the beginning, but they have exploded now because it has become very common.

Increasing purchase prices cannot solve the problem of imbalance between supply and demand. There are more and more voices of dissatisfaction from consumers, but Quli still insists on not allowing Qiancheng to increase the ex-factory price of CS6.

In fact, price is also a means of publicity. It happened to be that Shizhihu started public beta testing at this time. It seems inappropriate to say that. It should be said that it invites users to ask questions and answer questions.For example, someone asked a question: Why does Qiancheng Motors not increase the ex-factory price when the Qiancheng CS6 is selling so well and the production capacity is insufficient?

After raising this question, he sent it via email to people he knew, inviting them to register for a Zhihu account and then answer it.

Qu Li received the invitation, and Zai Zhihu responded: "Changfeng Motors, the predecessor of Qiancheng Motors, did not have any popular models, so we did not have experience in large-scale car manufacturing. The sales of Qiancheng CS6 this time exceeded our expectations, and it also It brings many challenges, firstly to ensure product quality, then to increase production capacity, and secondly to dealer interests..."

"The emergence of a hot-selling model is somewhat accidental, but the construction of a system is inevitable. Our purpose of not raising prices is to establish such a system: when we have good products, we can sell them efficiently for us. Create profits."

"It's not that Qiancheng Motor doesn't want to make money, but that we are willing to sacrifice short-term interests for long-term interests..."

Qu Li's reply was shared to Weibo through the Zhihu sharing function. Weibo users can register to comment after clicking to jump to Zhihu, but they cannot answer questions.

In summary, Time has the functions of Q&A, sharing, commenting, liking, and collecting.

Qu Li answered this question by waiting for several people to answer, and then answered as his own identity. Even with the spread of Weibo, due to its niche positioning, it is difficult for Time to accumulate a large number of users in the short term. It can only use high-quality Q&A content. Accumulate slowly.But everything is developing in a good direction, and there is no need to worry about failure in time.
