Chapter 2153 A Little Abuse of Power for Personal Gain

Meetings with YouTube are relatively simple.

YouTube has also quickly become a global product because it has been allowed to enter the mainland. Compared with Facebook, their globalization can be said to be truly global.

Although they are still lagging behind Facebook in terms of absolute number of users, YouTube users are no lower than Facebook in terms of user stickiness and loyalty.

After all, on YouTube, it can be said that no matter what you are interested in, such as celebrities, curiosity, political and economic news, etc., you can find relevant video information.

The appeal of videos is always more attractive than still photos or text.

What's more, after being allowed to enter China, lagging behind in the number of users will soon become a thing of the past. Next, it is also a high probability that they will maintain the lead in the number of users.

In addition, their business plan will also be successfully implemented early next year. It can be said that the development of YouTube cannot be too smooth.

It must be said that after all, they are all their own people. YouTube’s business plan borrowed a lot from Facebook. This is because Feng Yiping is very clear that Facebook can later compete with Google in the field of online advertising. In addition to the fact that it has more users, In addition to being able to clearly understand the preferences of its users through information, its advertising platform and methods are naturally very unique.

YouTube naturally has to learn from such good aspects.

However, there are also problems.

"In order to better understand and adapt to the huge market of mainland China, we hope that we can take this rare opportunity to develop as we expect in mainland China, and that it is long-term sustainable development,"

"Let us also become the most popular video website for users in mainland China - we all know that we already have competitors in mainland China,"

"So, we expect that the U.S. headquarters can provide the greatest support to the branch in mainland China,"

"This kind of support is not only at the technical level, but also at the content level, at the management level, and I hope it is also the same in terms of personnel,"

“Specifically, I hope to dispatch more employees from Silicon Valley to work in China. In addition to the management teams already identified on this list, I hope that most of the people here, including most of you here, will be dispatched to China. You must take at least one quarter to work in the China branch,"

"Some of our grassroots employees also need to be arranged to work in rotation in the China branch,"

Feng Yiping chose to tell his arrangement at the end.

After hearing what he said, there was a temporary silence in the conference room.

This is a concrete reflection of the difference between China and the United States.

He believes that if such a plan were announced in China, there would be jubilation in the conference room.

Because not to mention now, even in 10 years, it will be very popular to be sent to work in the United States.

But these guys in the United States are really unabashedly resistant to having to work in countries other than the United States, especially in areas they are relatively familiar with like Europe.

For those of them who have not been to China, being sent to China may not be much different from being sent to Africa.

Feng Yiping coughed, and Randolph immediately said, "I agree with Feng's arrangement,"

As the leader, one of the responsibilities is to be the first to express support for Feng Yiping's decision at such a time.

Ma Ling was immediately eager to follow up.

In fact, she was the one who wanted to express her support for this plan the most, but because she still felt a little guilty, she couldn't stand up and express her support immediately.

But since Randolph has taken the lead, there is no need to worry too much next.

But Feng Yiping has already begun to elaborate further, "There is no need to rush to express your position."

Oh, Ma Ling had to restrain himself.

"We all know that China is a huge market, but I think no one, including everyone here, has an intuitive understanding of how big a market it is,"

"I can roughly give you a set of numbers so that everyone can have an experience,"

"At present, the total number of Internet users in China has exceeded 100 million, and it is still growing at a high speed. How fast is this growth? According to the predictions of authoritative Chinese scholars, before and after the Chinese Olympic Games, the number of Internet users in China will exceed 100 million for the first time. 300 million,"

"That is, close to the population of the United States,"

"Oh," there was a gasp in the room.

Finally, everyone was no longer as silent as before.

After 2008, the total number of Internet users in China is close to or exceeding the total population of the United States. They know what this means.

There are more than 300 million Internet users, which is an unprecedented gold mine for all Internet companies.

"We can explore this possibility from some data from other industries,"

"Data from the PC industry shows that they recently estimated that global personal computer sales this year will exceed 202 million units, an increase of 10% over last year,"

"Among them, the sales of personal computers in the Asia-Pacific region will account for one-fifth to one-quarter of the total global sales,"

"The main market for personal computer sales in the Asia-Pacific region is China. China's personal computer sales will also account for 20% to 25% of the entire computer sales in the Asia-Pacific region,"

There are still people in the United States who are good at mathematics. The financial director immediately said, "In other words, China's personal computer sales this year will exceed at least 10 million units?"

"Yes," Feng Yiping said, "Actually, this is not news anymore."

Every time at this time, looking at the surprised expressions of these people, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Although the world's largest population has brought us tremendous pressure, such as housing prices that have remained high; educational opportunities from kindergarten to university are increasingly more expensive and more competitive; in terms of medical care , the number of hospital beds and doctors per capita is also far behind the world average; the number of competitors for a good job is so high that it is unimaginable. For example, the number of applicants for a popular civil service position later, it is not news that only one person can be selected from tens of thousands. ….

From a business perspective, it's often what we buy that causes prices to rise, and what we sell to cause prices to fall.

But at the same time, this huge population, on the other hand, can always create a series of data that makes many people stunned and unable to believe it.

For example, the number of personal computers sold by Feng Yiping just mentioned.

"I see, no wonder a Chinese company would acquire IBM's PC business," Feng Yiping heard several people lamenting.

IBM, no matter what, can be said to be a symbol of American high technology. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the world's leader in high technology.

Especially in the computer field, it is indeed an out-and-out pioneer.

Although this pioneer has a tendency to become a martyr in some business fields, this cannot be erased.

For ordinary Americans, even if IBM's PC business is acquired by a Chinese company, it will be a big shock.

But after hearing the data mentioned by Feng Yiping, they immediately understood the confidence of Chinese companies. Who allowed them to have such a huge market?

"According to industry statistics, the current number of computers with Internet access in China will be close to or reach 60 million by the end of this year,"

"We must also consider the impact of the development of mobile communication technology on Internet access. 3G has become popular in China. With the further popularization of 4G in the future, the number of people accessing the Internet through mobile phones will further increase,"

"Do you know how much mobile phone sales China will have in the next few years?" he asked.

"The same is more than 10 million?" someone said.

"40 million?"

"50 million?" Facing Feng Yiping's gaze, someone said boldly.

"At least, more than 80 million units," Feng Yiping said lightly, a number that shocked them again.

Seeing that they, including Ma Ling, were all stunned, Feng Yiping further made an prediction that would make them unbelievable, "Relevant experts predict that with the development of mobile communication technology, in 10 years, the total number of Internet users in China is expected to be Breaking through 700 million!”

This time, they were really shocked and speechless.

But 10 years later, the number of Internet users in China will be more than twice the total population of the United States?

"So everyone, do you also feel that from now on, no matter how much attention you pay to the Chinese market, it is not too much?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Of course, we must fully realize the uniqueness of the Chinese market. The content Chinese netizens watch on video websites will be very different from the choices of American netizens, and even different from users in India, Japan, and Thailand who are also in Asia. Big difference,"

Judging from current YouTube statistics, the most popular online videos viewed by users on YouTube are music videos, which are official videos of popular songs.

But Feng Yiping knows best that what domestic users do most on video websites is to watch TV series and variety shows.

"Von, we understand, and we fully support the company's decision," Randolph said again.

This time, his opinion was echoed by everyone.

"I am willing to go to China to work for a period of time as soon as possible," Ma Ling made it clear.

This, as Jin Ling said, was what Feng Yiping was looking forward to when he made this plan - so Jin Ling really understood him.

"Thank you for your support. At the same time, I think the Silicon Valley headquarters also needs to be prepared to welcome colleagues from China,"

"Our plan is a two-way street. Colleagues from Silicon Valley will go to China, and colleagues from China will also come to Silicon Valley. Everyone will get to know each other, learn from each other, and make progress together,"

"In this process, there will be no obstacles in the communication between the Silicon Valley headquarters and the Chinese branch. The experience of some companies, such as Yahoo's development experience in China, tells us that this kind of barrier-free and sufficient communication is very important to us in China. The development of regional branches will be so critical...,"

…………

"Hehe," shortly after the meeting, Ma Ling, who had just left, quietly appeared in Feng Yiping's office.
