As a result, Ding Zhengnan finally left and returned to the country. Jiang Yizhou heard that she was going to start as a real estate sales manager, at least she had a few people under her, not starting from scratch.
Jiang Yizhou's feelings were somewhat complicated. The girl had been attached to him, and just like that, she left suddenly. Besides a sense of calm and the comfort of freedom, there was also a feeling of emptiness, as if she had occupied a place in his heart.
That place wasn't deep within his soul, but it left an indelible mark on his skin. If he lost her, Jiang Yizhou would feel heartbroken; perhaps this was what a moderate liking felt like?
It couldn't be quantified, nor could his attitude be judged by qualitative differences. How wonderful it would be if all relationships in the world were as clear as blood ties!
So liking money was also a result of his confusion.
Because money could almost buy anything, the clearly priced commercial society made life simpler. First, one needed money; with money, 99% of problems could be solved, even though the remaining 1% became the hardest to tackle after acquiring wealth.
For someone like Jiang Yizhou, who had no grand ideals, life began with the few dollars for bus and subway fares in the morning and around ten dollars for breakfast. By the time he returned home around eight or nine in the evening, he suddenly felt a bit hungry and thirsty. He would buy a can or two of beer or cola, along with snacks or instant noodles, or fry leftover rice into fried rice—all within a budget of twenty yuan.
There were also regular payments for utilities, purchasing daily necessities like clothes, toothbrushes, toothpaste, toilet paper, monthly subscriptions for music, comics, video streaming services, and game cards...
Jiang Yizhou felt that he was most suited to live in a game. Even if he wasn't particularly skilled, every bit of hard work would yield visible rewards—how wonderful that would be!
However, reality is reality. The sense of powerlessness made him realize that at least to survive, some things still needed to be done and endured.
In this life, because of the memories in his mind, he no longer chased dreams through quantitative changes like in his past life; he wasn't just moving like a salted fish but truly living.
Now Jiang Yizhou enjoyed hearing professional evaluation companies continuously give his company higher valuations and preferred those venture capitalists who missed out on the last round of funding offering increasingly higher bids.
He knew he was vulgar; he never denied being a mundane person. Fifty thousand dollars after a series of financial maneuvers and deductions for various taxes was an amount Jiang Yizhou in his past life wouldn't have dared to dream about. Yet he didn't spend a single cent; aside from buying a second-hand Ford, all the other money remained untouched in his account. He often checked the balance from time to time.
He was also labeled as a miser by Song Rushi, but Jiang Yizhou didn't care. With money in hand, her mindset was much more stable.
Seeing the offline messages on Qi, Jiang Yizhou sensed Ding Zhengnan's reluctance and complaints. Being parachuted down to the bottom level to take on a leadership role, she naturally couldn't openly declare herself as the successor and expect everyone to give her hints.
In her father's company, there weren't any factions; it was a one-man show by Ding Dapeng, so there weren't many shareholders trying to trip her up. For the sake of experience, she had to follow the process and learn gradually.
However, Ding Zhengnan had never considered taking over when she first entered university; she chose a major that leaned towards the arts. Now that she was at the bottom level, she faced difficulties from veteran employees who felt threatened by her presence.
What could she do? If she couldn't outplay them, she could only learn their tricks slowly. After all, once she became the Boss, there would be no need for scheming. If anyone dared to play tricks on her, they would be fired immediately!
Feeling the hidden malice from Ding Zhengnan, Jiang Yizhou merely smiled and expressed sympathy for that veteran employee; it was just bad luck for them.
Life is essentially a continuous game of strategy. The more chips you have in hand, the more confidence you gain, and the fewer people can challenge you.
When you have a million chips while others only have a hundred, betting a thousand is undoubtedly a sure win; they can't even keep up. Of course, there are unexpected factors like public opinion, legal loopholes, and the fickleness of human nature.
Having just arrived at the company while it was midnight back home, Jiang Yizhou assumed Ding Zhengnan had already gone to sleep. She replied with a few comforting messages on Qi before shutting it down and starting her work.
With significant funding led by IDG, various projects within the company quickly got underway. Surprisingly, instead of the Qi project, it was the Qi Portal website that was prioritized for development rather than Space and ER. This caught Jiang Yizhou off guard.
The reason behind this was that currently, Portals were king on the internet; they were extremely popular. With existing frameworks and development experience available, new hires could quickly get up to speed. The next step was to fill in content and develop it into a qualified information Portal website.
On the other hand, the concepts of Space and blogs were still relatively new and in their infancy. Few individuals working alone could make an impact; developing entirely new things naturally posed greater challenges.
Jiang Yizhou could only report to the several responsible persons about the project progress, saying, "Since the Portal has been developed, let's focus on promoting the Portal first. The other projects need to be expedited as well!"
"Understood, BSS!" the responsible persons replied in unison.
Sometimes, manpower is limited; this is the reality! Turning advanced ideas into reality still requires a certain amount of time.
Without mentioning the project progress issue, Jiang Yizhou was planning to divide the company into two parts: one part centered around Mailbox as an open product, and the other part focused on Qi as a closed product.
Mailbox and Instant Messaging had high overlap, so both needed to be managed closely. However, according to the future path of Teng Xun, a series of products centered around Qi, such as Space, Portal, and Game Lobby, were created to enhance user engagement and provide monetization channels.
Tools like Er were inherently public-facing; they were designed to help users establish personal blogs.
Open and closed systems each have their advantages, but mixing the two can lead to operational confusion. It is best to delineate them as soon as possible.
Jiang Yizhou also decided that he would be responsible for the Qi products. He believed his strategy was sound, while Mailbox and Er would be managed by Zhang Xiaolong.
Zhang Xiaolong was indeed easy to work with; as long as his core principles were not severely violated, he would wholeheartedly strive to complete tasks according to Jiang Yizhou's vision. Moreover, considering the company's profitability, he proactively requested to add advertisements, concerned that Jiang Yizhou might still care about his previous requests.
