Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Although it was not necessary, Jumei still announced the acquisition of Mtime.com for no other reason than publicity, to let Internet users know that there is such a website, and some well-informed sources revealed that this is Jumei’s acquisition of Douban to no avail. after the choice.

At that time, will time reproduce a Douban? Maybe, Qu Li is planning the future of Mtime.com in Xingsha. In fact, the Douban model is quite good, but unfortunately the founder has only ideals.

As usual, Mtime.com is based on Jumei Cloud, a cloud computing company that has been in public beta for nearly a year. After the IT Leaders Summit, some reporters interviewed Jumei and asked about the progress of cloud computing. The US split, and Kuxun moved to Jumei Cloud as a whole.

I won’t talk about the original founder and management of Mtime.com. It’s not interesting. Anyway, like Douban, Mtime.com is a “slow company” and doesn’t need them to do strategic planning. What Quli really needs is people with patience and execution ability , choose slowly.

These are not important, Qu Li personally participated in the operation of Mtime. For example, the logo of the website is green, and several columns are movies, music, reading and same city...

Movies must have videos, but only corporate users can spend money to post short videos on Mtime.com for promotion. If you really want to watch long-video movies, you can only jump to third-party websites. Later, including IMDB, they all did this, and they charged money for movie trailers.

Amazon launched e-books made with electronic ink bottles in 2007. Jumei has not sold e-books until now. It’s not that it doesn’t want to do it, but because it lacks the genes for the e-book market to explode in China, it can only lay out slowly.

The founder of Giant Whale Music found Google Lin Bing and was pushed to Quli. This music website relies on ancient songs to earn advertising fees. Unfortunately, there is no music software with an amazing user scale. Not to mention Kugou and Kuwo, at least It has the level of Tiantian Music and Domi Music.

"Giant Whale Music Network, how much do you plan to sell?" Qu Li asked simply and directly

"One hundred million dollars!" Founder Chen Mou

"Why don't you think about it again?" Qu Li didn't want to discuss with him anymore.

"The price is not expensive. Google invested 7 million US dollars to take shares..."

"Forget it, you can calm down for a while, we won't consider it if it exceeds 50 million soft sister coins." Qu Li didn't want to make false claims

Giant Whale Music Network itself has little value. Its users and traffic are extremely dependent on Google, so Guge used to be a foreign company, and the planning cost was very high. Two years later, Kugou’s A-round financing was valued at 150 million soft sister coins. In 2013, with the tightening of music copyright policies, Ocean Music acquired Kuwo for nearly US$100 million.

"50 million soft sister coins, you are insulting the giant whale..."

"It's too expensive and I can't afford it. There won't be any changes in Gu Ge for the time being. Don't worry, maybe there will be a turnaround in the future..." Qu Li comforted, there is no need for others to hate him

"How much more, 50 million US dollars!"

"We don't need so much to do it ourselves, if you choose."

"Jumei takes time..."

"Uh, when do you think domestic Internet companies will be able to make money through digital music, or which one do you think has greater potential, e-commerce, search, or digital music? You don't think I'm a fool, why are you rushing to waste money... ..." Qu Li feigned surprise

"..." Chen was speechless

Qu Li refused to buy the giant whale, and Gu Ge temporarily maintained his current cooperation with them. There is a high probability that the contract will not be renewed after the contract expires.

People from Mtime.com and Kuxun Movie Ticket have moved to Xingsha to work. This is to save costs, and the cost of living in Beijin is too high.

Anyway, when domestic movies are released, Mango Channel is the most important channel for publicity. It is enough for Beijin to leave a branch to connect with film and television companies. Anyway, Mtime.com doesn't need too powerful programmers, and the next-level programmers will earn more money staying in Xingsha.

The most important thing is to facilitate Qu Li's management. He is patient and doesn't care about grades. He can try whatever he wants. For example, he imitated Quora and made a time. Of course, there is only such an idea now, and I haven't even written a line of code.

In the past, Qu Li felt that he was quite cruel. He robbed so many people of their entrepreneurial ideas, especially Da Dongzi.

Up to now, when Qu Li was working on the time, he did not hesitate at all. Firstly, he was stronger in his heart, and secondly, success was accidental. What he did may not be able to surpass the original version in the competition. Instead of being ridiculed after failure, he still It is better to sympathize with competitors after success.

The biggest change in Mtime.com is that an older elite programmer from Gugediao, whose hometown happens to be in Xingsha, doesn't want to work overtime, so he came back with his wife and children. It just so happened that the professional counterpart changed from architect to CTO of Mtime.com.

A good CTO can ensure that the user experience of the website will not be too bad. The role of Qu Li is creativity, or to determine the direction of Internet products, and then aesthetics. Can participate in the design of the domestic version of "iPhone 4", Qu Li's aesthetics cannot be too bad. The key is that Qu Li is not like Xiao Ma and Li Yanhong, who are born in science and engineering, and will not ignore the role of culture and art in technology companies. In other words, Qu Li and Qiaobusi believe that a technology company should not only have technology, but also aesthetics and humanities. care.

Whether it is Jumei or Glory, there are "masters" in the field of art invited to become consultants of the company, such as Huang Yongyu, Han Meilin (Stamp Fuwa) and so on. Therefore, Jumei's website design is far superior to Taobao in terms of visual effects. Mtime.com has inherited this advantage. The overall design style of the website is relatively simple, but it looks more comfortable.

Only entrepreneurs like Qu Li who don't understand anything and dare to delegate power will care about these things that are useless to the development of the company.

At this time, Mtime.com only had movie information, movie tickets, and tickets for performances in the same city. These three businesses were wrong. In order to sell tickets online, Kuxun developed a ticketing system. The set ticketing system is superior in terms of security, stability, ease of use, and scalability. It is currently provided to movie theaters invested by Xiaoma, and may also be purchased by Dadi and Wanda.

With the ticketing system certified by the Film Bureau and the first-mover advantage, Mtime.com can be said to be the leading company in online ticket sales. On the premise of good service and no mistakes, Qu Li feels that the situation is very good.

As for performing arts activities in the same city, it is more troublesome. It is not easy to connect with various brokerage companies and theaters, and it is not easy to help them sell tickets to earn handling fees. The scale remains high.

Because of this department in the same city, Mtime.com currently has nearly 100 employees. Could it be that the increase in the number of employees gave Zhang Haiju the confidence to do a good job in life group buying and local promotion?
