In "Biting Cold Wind," Yu Jinghong just came down from the family area after visiting a teacher at the school. She was wrapped in a beige wool coat that covered her slightly chilly body.
Although the sun was shining brightly, the pervasive and biting autumn wind took away much of the warmth.
Having just returned to Beijing from Los Angeles after three years away, she had forgotten about the climate here.
At this moment, she was merely an overly mature woman; to put it nicely, she was sophisticated, but realistically, she looked older than her age.
However, during her exchanges with that guy, she felt like the most beautiful person in the world. Even though their communication was only through text, she learned various ways to use computers and the Internet for this reason.
She hadn't informed many people about her return to the country. After several years away, her previous contact methods had become ineffective, so not many knew she was back—only the college teacher she had just visited was aware.
Following the address given by that guy, she took a taxi that wound its way through the streets until she found a residence with two rows of ginkgo trees about to burst into color.
As the strong autumn wind blew, some of the gradually yellowing ginkgo leaves were detached from their branches, swirling a few times in the air before losing their lift and falling to the ground. The path in front of the courtyard was paved with ginkgo leaves.
Ginkgo! Ginkgo!
Yu Jinghong felt as if she had come to the right place at the right time. If she missed this moment, she might have to wait until next year to see this hidden beauty nestled deep within residential areas.
"Ding dong! Ding dong!"
"Achoo!" Jiang Yizhou, sitting at the front, sneezed and wondered if he had caught a cold from having too much fun last night.
He glanced around at the people seated below him. With Ding Zhengnan's "approval" and Song Rushi's compliance, his mind began to stir with thoughts.
However, Li Yue seemed to have become less of an opportunity for him, instead frequently running to his parents, which was also a source of frustration for him. According to his mother, there was an intention for him to call Li Yue "sister," essentially recognizing her as a goddaughter.
Although he was somewhat distracted, the management team of Zhengyi Technology, who had just been reprimanded by him, did not dare to speak up, so no one noticed his unusual behavior.
Why was he reprimanding them? Naturally, it was because someone had proposed the ridiculous decision to charge for QQ registration. Fortunately, Jiang Yizhou had nipped that proposal in the bud—he vetoed it and specifically came to the company to lead a meeting aimed at correcting the mindset of those operating QQ.
Currently, charging for services was all the rage; everything seemed to be moving towards a paid model. This led to a chain reaction where free information began to charge for advertisements, transitioning towards free services. In the future, absolute free services would be seen as a scam, leading to a combination of paid and free services.
As for Ma Ge, who was still somewhat young and impetuous relative to his important position, proposing such a resolution was actually an attempt to achieve profitability through substantial investment while relying on surrounding resources. However, QQ itself could not generate income from this.
"This idea isn't completely wrong, but I have two questions!" Jiang Yizhou raised two fingers. "First, how will we charge? Liqing, how is the QQ recharge system being built?"
Zeng Liqing, who joined the company at Ma Ge's invitation, found that his part of the project was not progressing smoothly.
He stood up somewhat stiffly and reported on recent results while holding a piece of paper. "Currently, we have surveyed users' willingness to pay. Due to a lack of attractive consumption options and outdated payment methods, less than 5% of active users are willing to pay to try new features.
We have also attempted to establish telephone recharge services with various local voice service platforms and card sales channels, which has gone relatively smoothly. However, the bottom line remains: users have no willingness to spend!"
Jiang Yizhou never thought that Zeng Liqing's results were too poor; in today's online world, payment is quite challenging, especially for something like QQ's remittance system.
He nodded and continued asking, "The second question is about the pricing tiers. Ma Huateng, I mentioned before that public-facing services should be free while differentiated services should be charged. Is registration considered a differentiation?"
Since Jiang Yizhou returned to Beijing, if he could rise from his gentle surroundings, every morning he acted like a supervisor urging everyone forward.
Why? Because no one dares to make a decision!
If the boss makes an outrageous decision, would you choose to execute it, oppose it, or set it aside?
Most people would likely waver between opposition and setting it aside.
If many of the boss's outrageous decisions are ultimately proven to be seemingly absurd but actually wise, yet he later proposes another decision that appears ridiculous and hands over the execution authority to the employees, what will the employees choose?
Most would probably set it aside or tend towards a gradual approach, leaving room for regret.
Therefore, when Jiang Yizhou gradually became less diligent in supervising Zhengyi Technology, the speed of executing his resolutions indeed decreased significantly.
The boss is with you; it doesn't matter. If things go wrong, they go wrong. I won't blame you. Who would believe that? That's probably the reasoning behind it.
Now it's just about getting it back on track and clearing away the obstacles along the way.
However, Jiang Yizhou's arrival instead relieved the management team that had gained significant autonomy.
"Why is Qihang Chess Hall developing so slowly? What exactly is the problem, Li Jian?" Jiang Yizhou pointed out a typical case based on the upward trend in the report, this time focusing on Li Jian, who was leading an independent project for the first time.
"I think it might be due to imprecise positioning. I'm preparing to revamp the style of the chess hall, inviting some professional players to give guidance in the hall and hosting chess competitions!" Li Jian clearly had done his homework.
This aligned with Jiang Yizhou's thoughts as he nodded in satisfaction.
“Achoo~~”
“Phew~~”
With a mix of forgotten anger and annoyance, Yu Jinghong's attitude towards this person inevitably developed into the same indulgent feeling she had during their first encounter.
Looking at the not-so-tall gate, she took a deep breath, threw her bag through the gap in the door, and then began to climb over the iron gate using both her hands and feet.
With a steady thud as she landed, Yu Jinghong was unharmed and quickly passed through the iron gate that was meant to keep out intruders.
Strolling through the soon-to-bloom sea of vibrant ginkgo leaves, her resentment from being let down dissipated significantly.
She didn't expect that guy had such good taste!
No, he has always had good taste.
Because in their written exchanges, Jiang Yizhou praised her the most.
