Chapter 1936: Ratings Explode

It was past two in the morning. Sandberg stood by the car downstairs of the company for a while, and finally knocked on the car window a few times. Goldberg, who was sitting in the driver's seat and wearing pajamas, opened his eyes with difficulty, "Oh, we can go home,"

"Sorry, I fell asleep," he rubbed his eyes and opened the door on the passenger side, "Let's go home,"

"I'll drive," Sandberg pulled her husband down and kissed him on the face, "I told you, you don't have to pick me up,"

"You have to pick me up, the future mother of my child," Goldberg hugged his wife.

"Oh, sorry," Sandberg patted her head, "I forgot tonight..."

Today, or yesterday, is one of the best times for conception that they marked on the calendar, or according to the doctor's advice, in order to successfully conceive the crystallization of love, they'd better do something they love between 5 and 7 pm.

"It doesn't matter, there are many opportunities, and for me, just one opportunity is enough," Goldberg patted his chest.

At this moment, this usually steady middle-aged man looked like a stubborn and arrogant young man, haha, these men.

Although she couldn't help but complain, Sandberg still felt that her husband was particularly cute at this moment. She touched her husband's face and said, "I'm sorry, I think tomorrow, oh no, today, after reporting to Feng, the next best day for conception, I must stay at home all day, okay?"

The reason why she said it so sure was that since joining Facebook, Feng Yiping had asked her twice about the work of the campus nursery that she was responsible for and designed.

Behind this, of course, he didn't want to miss the pregnancy plan he had long had because of work.

It was just that they mentioned it briefly when Feng Yiping came to visit at home, but they didn't expect him to remember it so firmly in his heart.

In this regard, he is much more heartwarming than the two founders of Google.

"You have no problem, but I may have a problem," Goldberg said a little depressed.

"What's wrong, work...?"

"Speaking of which, this is also related to Feng,"

"Oh?" Sandberg was a little puzzled. How could Yahoo's affairs be related to her boss?

"Oh, are you talking about Feng's acquisition in China two days ago?"

"Yes, after Jerry came back from China this time, he had a long talk with Semel, and then the heads of various business units of the company, including me, were called together for a long meeting, asking us to once again review the future development of our departments and put forward opinions on the development of those areas related to our departments,"

"I think the company may cut some projects, launch some projects, and acquire some projects in the near future,"

In this case, he will naturally be very busy.

"It doesn't matter, we will find a way,"

Sandberg didn't say some words. In her opinion, it seems that after the Internet bubble, Yahoo, which fell from the peak of a market value of 125 billion US dollars, still seems a little flustered. It pays too much attention to short-term performance and always follows some business models that others are optimistic about, but wavers in strategy.

It's just that these controversial work topics are rarely discussed with her husband unless necessary.

Because she also knew that although some people might notice this problem, it might not change anything in the end, because Yahoo is now actually a company controlled by institutional investors, especially aggressive institutional investors on Wall Street. What they care most about is performance, and short-term performance, which can increase shareholder dividends and have a positive impact on stock price increases.

Those who do not follow their wishes will not be able to sit firmly in the position of Yahoo CEO, nor in the Yahoo board of directors.

Goldberg took the initiative to talk about a work topic. As the senior vice president of Yahoo Music, he asked, "Why does Feng seem to have no interest in music?"

India.

In Bangalore, located in the Deccan Plateau, it was close to the end of the get off work day. Zuckerberg bit a cookie in his mouth and typed the last few characters on the computer.

When the secretary in a sari came in with a sandwich, he was stuffing some things he wanted to bring into his backpack.

He frowned when he took the vegetarian sandwich. I am not a vegetarian Jobs.

But what can we do here?

"Sir," the driver, who was dark-faced but insisted on wearing a suit, was about to take the backpack from him.

"No need," Zuckerberg waved his hand, "See you the day after tomorrow," he said to his colleagues in the office as he walked out.

He now had to catch a flight to Mumbai at 5 o'clock, which was also a very daily part of his work recently.

Next, he should be even busier, because according to his boss, it seems that he is also interested in opening another office in Hyderabad.

However, the young Zuckerberg enjoyed such a busy life.

In the lobby downstairs, he happened to meet the two people from LinkedIn again, "Mr. Zuckerberg,"

"Hi," Zuckerberg hurriedly passed by them without even nodding his head.

In Wuli'ao, Huang's mother was still washing dishes in the kitchen. Huang Jingping, who finally returned to her mother's home with her children, called out, "Mom, come quickly, it will start soon,"

"Oh, come on," Huang's mother ran out of the kitchen with her hands still wet.

At this time, many people in Fengjiachong, Wuli'ao, Jiasheng's employee dormitories and homes were already sitting in front of the TV, locking in the second set.

Finally, after the title sponsor's advertisement, the words "Meet the Big Shots" appeared on the screen. Because it was filmed in the first month of the year, Zhou Ning, who was still dressed a little cheerfully, appeared in front of the camera, "This is at six o'clock in the morning. The streets of the capital seemed particularly empty because it was still a holiday,”

"I believe that at this time, many people should still be sleeping soundly in warm quilts,"

At this time, footsteps were heard. Between the buildings in the Jiasheng Business District in the distance, a guy in sportswear slowly ran into the camera. Mei Qiuping immediately grabbed her husband's hand. "Look, that's Yiping,"

"You don't have to say it," Feng Zhenchang replied angrily.

It wasn't that he was unhappy. It was habitual for him to talk to Mei Qiuping like this. This was their daily life.

This program started with Feng Yiping's morning jog. It recorded in detail Feng Yiping's work for the rest of the day, including three meetings and five meetings. Then, he led the film crew and drove to the shooting base in the suburbs of Beijing. ….

Silicon Valley, despite feeling dizzy, Zhou Ning couldn't fall asleep after 6 o'clock in the morning. She had no intention of going out to appreciate what kind of atmosphere Silicon Valley would have on such a morning. She just stayed in the room for a while. Get up and take a few steps. One moment, I will look at my preparations for today's work on the computer. The next moment, I will sit on the sofa, holding the TV remote control, and change the channels one by one.

But during this period, her eyes would look at the newly bought mobile phone every few dozen seconds.

She was waiting for a call, a very important call, a call that would determine the career future of her and a group of people.

Finally, after she spent more than an hour in anticipation, anxiety, and restlessness, her cell phone finally called, without even looking at the caller ID, "Hello, Director,"

It was Li Zhen on the other side of the phone, but it didn't sound like the Li Zhen Zhou Ning was familiar with. He was smiling, and his smile felt a little distorted, "Hahaha... Zhou Ning, hahaha... I'm with you. Say, hahahaha...,"

"Director, you are right," Zhou Ning stamped her feet anxiously.

"Wait a minute," the other person seemed to take a big sip of water, "Wait a minute," he took another big sip, and then he was finally able to speak properly, "I have the data that just came out in my hand. Guess how many?"

Zhou Ning wanted to say, Mom, I hate it when an elderly greasy man like you plays this trick. Of course, she can only think about it in her heart, "Director, you are so happy. Shouldn't it be 5?" She said He whispered a number that he was looking forward to.

"Hahaha," the other party laughed again, "It seems that you are also very confident in the program, but no, guess again!"

Zhou Ning really can't bear it now. Can you stop irritating my mother's appetite like this?

However, judging from his tone, it seems that the results will only get better? Then I will bear with you one more time, "6%? Director, just say it straight,"

Don’t you know, I feel itchy now, as if there are many cats scratching me?

"It seems that Xiao Zhou, you still don't have enough confidence in our program. Let me tell you, it's not 5%, it's not 6%, it's 10.08, which is over 10,"

"Break 10?" Zhou Ning suddenly shouted, "Break 10?" She really felt that this was a bit unbelievable.

Not to mention "Huan Zhuge Ge", which created a ratings myth, although some TV series produced by CCTV now have ratings of more than 8 and 9, but as a brand-new variety show that was just launched, the ratings actually exceeded 10?

"Director, are you sure this is the ratings, not the viewership share?" She asked very uncertainly.

More than ten years later, some TV dramas found that the ratings figures were not good-looking, and many of them used another explanation, not talking about ratings, but talking about viewership share.

Although there is a difference of two words, it is really a thousand miles apart.

Viewership share refers to the ratio of the number of viewers watching a certain program in a certain area to the total number of people watching TV, while ratings refers to the number of target viewers watching a certain TV program during a certain period of time, as a percentage of the total target population proportion.

We can roughly equate this total target population to the total population of the country, which is 1.3 billion.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Zhou Ning, who is an industry insider, finds it so unbelievable.

"How could I make such a stupid mistake?" Li Zhen over there shook the document in his hand, "It's the ratings!"

"You know, the advertising department has just received several calls. Haha, those advertisers who gave up a few days ago are now so regretful that their livers are turning green..."

Zhou Ning can no longer hear what the director is saying, breaking 10? Just like the first sight of Silicon Valley, she still felt it was very unreal.

She pinched her waist hard, and suddenly, another scream sounded in the room...
