045 People must die, but not socially

On July 24, a post appeared on the campus network and quickly gained a wide range of dissemination.

As a social platform for college students, besides communication between familiar users, the campus network naturally also has a content recommendation system, with its own screening and pushing of high-quality content.

Moreover, the real-name registration system makes certain types of content more effective.

The post from user "Yu Xing who does love contracts" on this day was just like that. His school certification is "Jin Ling Medical University," and his exposition of his startup project over the past half month made the circle of classmates know what he was doing.

Although jumping from medicine to entrepreneurship, this choice and the content chosen made classmates feel surprised, even feeling that he was under too much pressure in the laboratory, but his latest self-narration still made his classmates and friends suddenly angry.

"I started a project and accepted an interview with NetEase last month, but this month I strangely discovered that it has become NetEase Dating's latest project."

"I was angry in my heart, but then I thought, if NetEase rides on my innovation like this, perhaps its reputation can fight against Tencent."

"In this way, I suddenly felt relieved in my heart; grassroots entrepreneurs can still play a role."

Song Yufeng, who ghostwrote for Yu Xing, hit the point in the opening, using three sentences to describe the event process, perform reputation benchmarking, and satirize his dissatisfaction.

Tencent's reputation is very poor nowadays. Its behavior of using traffic to copy various projects has made many people quite resentful, and there have been public opinion events of all sizes, but it has always stood there unmoved.

"When I first entered society, I wasn't used to speculating about peers with the worst malice, but today, I have to stand up and express my surprise."

"I have two points of surprise."

"First, what this company cultivates is not reporters, but commercial spies; second, the big internet company I particularly respect can be so despicable."

"I think I shouldn't have had any entrepreneurial dreams, because it is not tolerated by big companies like NetEase and Tencent."

"On June 28, I accepted an interview with a NetEase reporter at my alma mater, Nankai University. At that time, I thought it was the setting sail of my entrepreneurial journey. I never thought that in less than a month, I would tremble from the bottom of my heart."

"On July 19, NetEase merged two dating business teams into 'NetEase Dating' and launched a 'Love Contract' project for the college student group."

"When I heard this news, I couldn't believe it. I was stunned. Whether it was the name or the business, even the most basic settings of 299 yuan, 3-year term, and 999 roses were the same; they were exactly the same!"

"Even if you had changed it slightly?"

"I was very surprised; how come I hadn't heard that NetEase also had a dating project? I'm not surprised; it's not strange that NetEase holds such an attitude to do business and I haven't heard of it."

"My companion was very shocked, and he asked me out of composure, Brother Xing, this is taking without asking!!"

"I said, no, it asked; this is asking and then robbing!"

"I thought a guest had come to the house, and we entertained him enthusiastically and explained carefully. I never thought this was a robber; he listened carefully and turned around to hand the project proposal to his colleagues to copy!"

"From the 19th to today, these five days, I have been confused, I have been puzzled, I have been in pain. I was probably going to accept my fate, but I felt it shouldn't be like this."

"My companion advised me, my junior brother advised me, my junior sister advised me, my elders advised me, there's no way, let it be."

"The environment is like this, the industry is like this, entrepreneurship is like this, and society is like this."

"No, I disagree!"

"I think it doesn't have to be like this!"

"I disagree with NetEase riding on my innovation like this!"

"Alright, I'm done talking, NetEase, come on!"

Song Yufeng posted his company's link to the post, which was the measure announcing the team adjustment, the new interface and new business of NetEase Dating. At the same time, he carefully marked the timeline and asked Yu Xing for photos of the investigation draft and some data.

Because the group on the campus network are all college students, his wording was very emotional, while the content prepared for other post bars and BBS forums was calmer.

Also, Song Yufeng explained the rhetoric for facing the media in the future.

Yu Xing gave the highest praise to Song Yufeng's proactive behavior: "Brother Feng, you are simply like a mastermind behind the scenes!"

Song Yufeng was very modest: "I just did what I should do."

Since it was done, try to do it as well as possible!

Of course, this also had to do with going back and appreciating his work after being drunk; some chats between men are not suitable for release.

People must die, but not socially!

Song Yufeng was in the office, not even writing news drafts, just closely watching the marketing quality of the campus network, and sure enough, he saw very good results.

On one hand, Gui'ai Net is indeed the party that is in the right; on the other hand, the campus network is one of the hottest social platforms today, and the foundation of its explosion is the high-quality activity of college students, which coincides with the entrepreneurial background of Gui'ai Net.

Song Yufeng believed that such an effect would become more outstanding as time brewed.

Song Yufeng: "..."

Song Yufeng closed the computer page, drank half a cup of tea to moisten his throat, turned his head and asked his colleague: "Brother Wang, hasn't the meeting upstairs finished yet?"

"No, what's the matter?" Brother Wang replied without looking back.

Song Yufeng said sternly: "Big things."

Brother Wang laughed and didn't take it seriously.

Upstairs is the newly established "NetEase Dating" department. They are holding a market analysis meeting under the leadership of Director Ying Jiadong. In fact, at about the same time, Yangcheng is also holding a meeting.

"NetEase Dating" was formed by the merger of two teams. Although Ying Jiadong became the director, he is only responsible for the development of the northern market, and there is still an internal competition mechanism.

However, he has great confidence in the new product.

That small company has already verified the existence of this market with its actions, and as long as our company takes advantage of the fact that the three dating brands of Century Dating, Zhen'ai Net, and Baihe Net haven't reacted, and takes the lead in pushing resources to occupy the market, then it can make the NetEase Dating team shine.

Although Ying Jiadong was a deputy director in the past, he had no sense of presence in the company, just like his business.

Three years, three years without achieving a breakthrough in performance, the dating market simply doesn't recognize the "NetEase" brand. Fortunately, the higher-ups are still willing to try, so this opportunity to find another way has arrived.

Last week at the Yangcheng headquarters, Ying Jiadong even heard rumors that as long as "NetEase Dating" can achieve results, there is a possibility of upgrading to a dating business department in the future.

If that happens, his position can go one step further!

Ying Jiadong smiled, but suddenly heard a colleague's suggestion in the conference room, and his smile immediately faded a bit.

"We can add more options for customers, not just roses, but many attractive things."

Do customers only need roses to enter marriage?

Obviously not.

A small discussion started in the conference room.

Ying Jiadong "coughed": "Leave this question for later discussion. What we need to do now is to seize the market as quickly, quickly, and quickly as possible!"

The discussion in the conference room disappeared.

Ying Jiadong pointed at the conference table with his finger: "Since there is already a company on the market that has proven their route is fine, we don't need to take risks. We can give other things, but it's not necessary!"

"This is respecting the market."

"After we run the market, we already have a solid share, and then we will carry out more innovations."

Can this project be changed?

Of course.

But it's not necessary.

Since there is a path already trodden in front of us, why take risks?

Ying Jiadong's "respect for the market" won applause.

However, when he finished the meeting and walked out of the conference room, he suddenly saw his colleague Xiong Lianhui walking over in a panic.

"Director Ying, that, uh, your team, your team, was... by..." Xiong Lianhui wanted to use the word "slander" but felt it might not be very accurate, so he could only show the screen of the laptop he was holding to Ying Jiadong.

Ying Jiadong looked at the laptop screen with some confusion, and then frowned deeply.

Campus network.

——NetEase rides on my innovation, if Tencent doesn't come out, who can compete?

He flipped down simply; this was a denunciation from the founder of Gui'ai Net.

Ying Jiadong didn't expect this college student to have such a personality. He took back his hand and asked: "Is the impact big?"

Xiong Lianhui replied: "It's quite hot right now."

"Find someone to contact the campus network and have them withdraw the post." Ying Jiadong said without hesitation, "The content is untrue."

Before Xiong Lianhui could agree, a roar suddenly resounded throughout the floor, attracting everyone's attention.

"Ying Jiadong!!"

Song Yufeng, who learned that the meeting was over, went upstairs and strode toward Director Ying Jiadong.

Ying Jiadong was startled by this roar, and when he turned his head, he saw the furious Song Yufeng.

"Ying Jiadong, look at the good deed you've done!" Song Yufeng gathered his energy, his voice actually rising a notch, and strong emotions gushed out, "Why did you copy the project of an ordinary entrepreneur?"

Ying Jiadong was stunned and said subconsciously: "No, Song Yufeng, what are you doing? Come to the office!"

Didn't you assist me?

When I asked you before, you didn't object either!

"Ying Jiadong, I reported someone else's entrepreneurial project, why did you copy it!" Song Yufeng didn't care what Ying Jiadong said and just questioned him on his own.

Colleagues at their workstations had already stood up one after another, and the department employees in the conference room were also scattered around.

Even, in just these few sentences, people downstairs got the news and rushed up to watch the excitement.

Ying Jiadong noticed the onlookers of his colleagues, and his face sank: "Song Yufeng, what do you want to do?"

"I don't know what I want to do either!" Song Yufeng maintained his anger, "I'm just here to ask you, what the hell do you want to do!"

Ying Jiadong felt that this little reporter was simply crazy and completely unreasonable.

He turned his head and said: "Come, come, drag him, drag him to the conference room!"

At this moment, Song Yufeng didn't know if he was pretending or not.

He could have safely collected his travel expenses and lived a plain life with his girlfriend. A normal news report would have passed, but this Ying Jiadong took a fancy to such a project...

If Ying Jiadong hadn't been greedy for profit, everything would be normal!

Even if Ying Jiadong hadn't been so impatient, this matter wouldn't have developed like this!

In Song Yufeng's questioning was the confusion and fear of the road ahead, the anger at Ying Jiadong's greed for profit, and of course, it was mixed with a trace of sorrow from being coerced by Yu Xing.

Such complex emotions mixed together, allowing him to burst out with huge energy.

"Who dares!" Song Yufeng stared fiercely at the two or three colleagues who wanted to obey orders, "I'll see who dares today!"

Seeing more and more people gathering, Ying Jiadong panicked: "You, you, what exactly are you doing!"

He didn't understand.

"I just can't stand it!" Song Yufeng pressed, "Why did you copy someone else's project!?"

Ying Jiadong felt that the accomplice in front of him was so strange: "I, I..."

"You what you!" Song Yufeng said loudly, "An ordinary college student starts a business, working hard in the scorching sun every day. After you saw my report, you actually moved the whole project over. Do you still have a conscience! Do you still have integrity!"

Ying Jiadong was dumbfounded: "You, you..."

"I what I! I've tolerated you for a long time!" Song Yufeng's emotions reached their peak, and even his voice cracked, "You think you're a leader! You think you're a director! You think you're a favorite of the company! You think you can do whatever you want like this! I tell you, Ying Jiadong, I am ashamed to be with someone like you!"

Ying Jiadong suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath; you weren't like this before!

Song Yufeng tore off the work badge worn on his chest and threw it on the ground: "We are NetEase, not Tencent! I quit!"

He turned and left, suddenly having a sense of satisfaction standing on the side of justice!

Damn, is it so cool in the camp of justice!

Song Yufeng disappeared, and only the work badge remained quietly on the floor.

Ying Jiadong never expected such a scene, nor did he know which nerve of the little reporter was wrong. He only heard the whispers around him and saw the shameful eyes of his department colleagues, and a strong feeling emerged in his heart.

It's broken!

Something big is wrong!
