Supplement?
Dou Jiao was startled.
If it’s related to Xiao Xiao’s business.
Why didn’t they establish a department within Tianyan Group from the get-go? After all, it would end up serving Xiao Xiao. Although Dou Jiao didn’t voice her confusion, Tang Qing took the initiative to explain.
"Xiao Xiao is not a professional software company, much like the apps in ’Epoch’, I mainly leave the design to a company under Qingyuan Technology, and now it’s just handed over to Tianyan Group for operations."
"There’s also a company with several subsidiaries, and the one I’m planning to merge is a subsidiary specializing in management software design. It’s not very large, with just over two hundred employees."
As he spoke,
Tang Qing activated the projector behind him.
The next moment,
a line of text appeared on the wall.
---Corporate Data Management Upgrade.
Then,
amidst Dou Jiao’s confusion,
the screen flashed.
The interface jumped to a dynamic chart.
At the same time,
a woman’s voice arose in the office.
"Corporate Data Management Upgrade aims to utilize increasingly developed and high-speed Internet and more terminal devices to achieve efficient and rapid information transfer, breaking away from the time constraints of manual transfer..."
After listening for a few minutes,
Dou Jiao finally understood what Tang Qing wanted to do: he was being "nosey". It was like, "I think you’re too outdated; waiting for your growth is too slow, so I might as well just do it all for you."
Specifically, it meant: Big Giveaway for free.
For example, water and electricity.
At present,
online payment for utilities is just starting to emerge, with only a few provinces and regions capable of realizing online payments, and all related enterprises are planning to expand the scope.
However,
the progress is irregular,
and the level of quality varies.
Because Xiao Xiao has managed to integrate the areas that can pay online, facilitating many people’s lives, but the coverage is embarrassingly limited, which even makes Tang Qing anxious.
Well then.
Fine.
Don’t busy yourself.
I’ll take over.
I’ll design all the technical issues and the entire management software for you and give it to you for free, just asking you to quickly implement larger-scale internet business operations.
If it were just water and electricity,
Dou Jiao wouldn’t be so surprised.
In addition to water and electricity,
there are also communications, transportation, postal and courier services, hotels, restaurants, and several other industries, all within the scope of this "nosey" behavior. Looking at the capabilities that each software could achieve, Dou Jiao opened her mouth in astonishment.
Oh my.
Do you have to be so "thoughtful"?
Speaking of which,
Xiao Xiao currently has no competitors domestically.
Why is Tang Qing in such a hurry?
"Do you think I have nothing better to do?" seeing Dou Jiao’s expression, Tang Qing asked with a smile.
Dou Jiao nodded.
"A bit, firstly, most of these enterprises are Central Enterprises. To undergo such a widespread update of their management systems, it’s not enough for the system to be useful; being helpful doesn’t mean they will use it."
"Secondly, Xiao Xiao almost has no competitors right now, and even if we give it to them and they all use it, what will we gain? They will certainly not open their data to us."
"If you are talking about placing web ads on top, that’s possible. I see that as a potential profit point. Moreover, given the current environment, we cannot possibly be their only internet service provider."
After listening,
Tang Qing nodded with a smile.
"You’re right. However, what I want is not the data, nor to be the sole internet service provider. Instead, I want our Xiao Xiao to enter the data value era more quickly. And, you’re only looking at Huaxia."
"These management softwares, I will offer for free to all relevant companies worldwide, not just making it available but also actively promoting it. In the future, this will also be the basis of the Group’s influence."
Of course,
that wasn’t entirely true.
Aside from Xiao Xiao,
these functionalities were also in preparation for the upcoming launch of WeChat. Various payment services and internet payments are significant parts of WeChat, and Tang Qing, more impatient than those companies, was acting out of such "goodwill".
At first,
Tang Qing planned to promote Xiao Xiao, adding WeChat functionalities. But later, he thought better of it since they have different focuses: one for work, one for life. It’s best not to mix the two.
And he didn’t plan to change the name of WeChat either.
It’s habit-forming.
Any other name just feels odd.
Since it’s not currently in use,
just go with it.
"Alright, you’re the boss, what you say goes. Fortunately, I’m not in charge of Xiao Xiao’s operations, or I would have another headache," Dou Jiao rubbed her head.
Tang Qing’s ambitions
are always so grand.
It baffles her how Tang Qing always has the global market on the tip of his tongue, as if capturing it was so easy. Is the world that simple to ’conquer’? Better not think about it, for the sake of sparing a few white hairs.
Little did she know,
Tang Qing’s perspective
was no longer confined to one corner; his influence was now global, and it was not weak. If his sights were still set on single markets, single regions, it would indeed be ’narrow-minded’.
Making moves,
should be done on a larger scale.
Subsequently,
Tang Qing convened a senior meeting within the Tianyan Group, repeating the discussion he had just had with Dou Jiao, and, of course, no one would object. Tang Qing pays salaries to have them solve problems,
not to emphasize the difficulties.
Just try their best.
Difficulties?
They could now correctly address them, serving numerous enterprise clients, facing challenges so daunting they could be overwhelming. True headaches are caused by ’impotence’, not difficulties.
...
The next day,
the subsidiary’s management transfer was complete, although transferring ownership rights still required many procedures. It was merely shifting assets from one hand to the other, and so the transfer was swift.
That afternoon,
Tianyan and Xiao Xiao sent people together, led by experienced salespeople, heading to Beijing, where the headquarters of most of these Central Enterprises were located.
At the same time,
Tianyan’s branches across the globe also received the notice.
--- Try your best to sell to enterprises in various countries. Aside from big corporations, local hotels, restaurants, and cinemas were also targets, and sales performance metrics were set: the more active users, the greater the rewards.
Seeing the situation,
branches of Tianyan around the world started filing reports.
Short-staffed.
Their existing enterprise services were already keeping them busy, and now gathering information and promoting software was stretching them thin. They thought Headquarters would opt for caution after the recent expansion.
Unexpectedly,
the next day,
all branches received approval, and on top of what they had, each branch would acquire a business department dedicated to fulfilling these two tasks.
If this hiring round is completed,
Tianyan Group might add another five thousand or so employees.
