Three days later!
The grand banquet of the Black Dragon Group came to an end!
The entire Songjiang quieted down, though public opinion on the internet continued to ferment.
...
Black Dragon Group headquarters!
Qin Jiang, Zhu Zheng, and Si Jiu sat in a triangular formation at the top, while Wang Tao, Feng Lin, Zhao Shanhe, Bai Lu, and others sat below.
The opening meeting of 2015!
Wang Tao: "Brother Jiang! The Management Department's new annual plan has already been implemented: there are two key projects. First, the Songjiang Sleepless City! We must ensure that the Songjiang Sleepless City maintains its title as one of the hottest tourist attractions in Huaxia!"
He spoke with absolute decisiveness.
After all, after the Modu incident, they understood why Brother Jiang had vigorously developed the Songjiang Sleepless City back then.
This was completely a golden body!
It not only gave them unrivaled privileges in Songjiang and the northern territories, but even if something happened elsewhere, Songjiang and the northern territories would step forward to mediate and fiercely protect them!
To put it bluntly!
Protecting the Black Dragon Group meant protecting the economy of Songjiang and even the northern territories; it was entirely an economic community of shared interests.
As long as the Songjiang Sleepless City remained wildly popular!
As long as Black Dragon and the others didn't actively court death!
Then no one could do anything to them!
Compared to this:
What did money even count for?
Speaking of making money:
Let alone the real estate and entertainment companies of other departments, even the two milk tea brands under the Management Department earned more and had more potential than the Songjiang Sleepless City!
But some things could not be measured by money!
Now, let alone the fact that the Songjiang Sleepless City was profitable, even if it were losing money, Wang Tao would still place his focus on it.
Wang Tao: "The second project is the expansion of the milk tea brands. The Management Department strives to expand our milk tea brands to ten thousand stores this year!"
Ten thousand stores!
It sounded very exaggerated, but for Overlord Tea and Snowy Night Ice City right now, it was not an exceptionally difficult task! If not for their extremely strict requirements when vetting franchisees, achieving this goal would have been even easier.
Qin Jiang: "The planning of the Songjiang Sleepless City must still be done with care, and making money is not important! Tourist experience comes first, reputation comes first, and making money comes last! As long as tourist numbers increase and reputation increases, losing a bit of money can still be considered a success! The year-end evaluation for the Songjiang Sleepless City project won't look at how much money is made. In a word: from now on, I don't want to see an increase in the profit statement of the Songjiang Sleepless City; I only want to see an increase in the number of tourists and reputation."
Given the current scale of the Black Dragon Group, the pitiful amount of money earned by the Songjiang Sleepless City was already nothing!
Since it was nothing, why not lower the profit further? As long as it could boost reputation, reducing the profit to a negative number would be even better.
By that time:
The Songjiang Sleepless City would become a hot potato!
In Qin Jiang's hands, it was a golden body!
In someone else's hands, it would be a blood-sucking monster, and thus it wouldn't be something that could be easily taken away!
Wang Tao: "Understood!"
...
Sun Yuan: "The new year's focus for the Publicity and Entertainment Department will be placed on Starlight Entertainment..."
This time:
Before Sun Yuan could finish speaking, Qin Jiang directly interrupted him.
Qin Jiang: "In the new year, the Publicity and Entertainment Department's focus will be placed on the Black Dragon Website. Try to expand the customer base, and use mobile phone number binding as the sole condition for registered users: this will be simpler."
Sun Yuan: "Yes!"
Qin Jiang: "How is the software app I asked you to prepare coming along..."
Sun Yuan: "We have already poached a large number of top programmers to start working on it. According to Brother Jiang's requirements, it will be able to simultaneously support web live broadcasting, video playback, online connections, and PK battles, among other things! To strive for excellence, we will conduct multiple rounds of testing, and there is a high probability it can go live by the end of the year!"
Qin Jiang: "Get as many servers as possible... At the very least, reserve a carrying capacity that can support fifty million users online simultaneously and one million users watching the same live broadcast room at the same time."
Sun Yuan: "So many..."
You must know that the most popular similar software currently is Jin K Interactive Entertainment, but even at their most popular, they only have ten-thousand-viewer live rooms! Claiming to have twenty million users was already considered extremely awesome!
Yet their own Brother Jiang wanted to set up a million-viewer live room and a carrying capacity of fifty million users right off the bat?
How terrifying was that?
Where could they possibly use so much?
It was more than ten times that of Jin K Interactive Entertainment...
The key was that right now, not that many people watched that kind of live streaming; Jin K Interactive Entertainment had already developed to its peak.
Even if you stole all their customers and even doubled them, it would still be impossible to need such a huge carrying capacity.
Sun Yuan couldn't understand...
Qin Jiang didn't explain much, nor could he explain. Why wasn't the user base so large right now? Because the new generation of smartphones had not yet been popularized. At present, most people found it rather difficult and somewhat laggy to watch live broadcasts on apps using their phones...
The vast majority of live broadcasts still used computers, and outdoor live broadcasts also used a large amount of auxiliary equipment. But soon, the new generation of mobile phones was about to be updated, and wireless networks would be completely popularized. Coupled with the reduction of data fees, it would not only allow any user to shoot and upload videos, watch live streams, and watch videos anytime and anywhere, but it would also allow those video bloggers to stream live and shoot videos anytime and anywhere with just a mobile phone.
These factors stacked together!
would give rise to the true massive explosion of video apps, so now was not the optimal stage for video apps to develop!
Qin Jiang said: "No need to rush to launch it! The app will go online next year!"
Sun Yuan: "Yes!"
Even though he wasn't clear why Brother Jiang was so optimistic about the future video industry, he unconditionally believed and executed it.
...
Feng Lin: "The Transportation Department will continue to expand its commercial territory this year..."
Qin Jiang: "The Transportation Department can just proceed step by step. What you need to do is comprehensively roll out the transportation network points!"
His plan for the Transportation Department was to completely roll out the transportation network points. That way, when future video-based e-commerce appeared, it would allow the Transportation Department's orders to reach their peak. You must know: in the future, the order volume of video websites would not be weaker than that of shopping software, and if all these order volumes were given to a single transportation company, that transportation company would definitely become one of the top transportation companies.
Under mutual complementarity:
The video websites' orders wouldn't have to fear being bottlenecked by transportation. Furthermore, the Transportation Department was very important for the milk tea ingredients and other catering departments under the Management Department.
It was an important item to complete the industrial closed-loop!
Feng Lin: "I guarantee that within one year, all county-level network points nationwide will be fully rolled out!"
Qin Jiang: "I'll give you three years! But you must ensure that network points at and above the town level nationwide are rolled out!"
Feng Lin: "Yes!"
...
Zhao Shanhe: "In the new year, the Security Department will try its best to undertake public security and security business for the three northern provinces!"
Qin Jiang: "Just proceed step by step!"
...
Shen Tianci: "The land previously won at auction by the Engineering Department has already entered preparations for construction..."
...
Bai Lu: "The Finance Department's goal today is to further refine the procedures, and we must ensure that all financial expenditures and incomes are traceable..."
...
After all departments finished their reports,
Qin Jiang issued an order: "This year's most important project is bidding on land. According to my requirements: the more land auctioned, the better! This matter will be coordinated by Zhu Zheng, led by the Engineering Department, and assisted by all departments!"
Zhu Zheng and the others nodded in unison: "Yes!"
The meeting ended!
Wang Tao, Feng Lin, and others left.
At this moment,
a knock and a report came from outside:
"Brother Jiang! Feng Zhao requests an audience!"
