Chapter 793 - 301: Tencent and Kangaroo Strike!
Chapter 793 - 301: Tencent and Kangaroo Strike!
"Can that documentary you’re shooting be released in theaters?" Sun Dasheng asked when he found some time.Yun Yuqing was quite proactive, "It’s okay even if it can’t be in theaters, the director said it might be released on online platforms."
"Oh, in that case, let her contact this number, selling a bit more is always a good thing."
Sun Dasheng showed Yun Yuqing a number on his phone.
"What is this?" Yun Yuqing saved the number and asked curiously.
"Oh, didn’t I recently set up a micro-short drama app? We now have over 200 million registered users, your documentary can also be aired on it."
Sun Dasheng didn’t explain much to her, he directly installed an app on her phone, letting her figure it out herself. Surely enough, she got the hang of it in no time and joyfully said, "Hey, this is great, I can recommend it to my parents, grandparents, they love watching these shows."
"You’re such a dutiful child." Sun Dasheng looked at her strangely, how old are your parents to already love these dramas?
The astute Yun Yuqing was well aware he was teasing her.
Blushing, she said, "My parents indeed love these shows, my dad likes watching stories about business moguls going back in time, my mom loves ’Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me’.
"I’m not lying to you."
"Alright, I believe you." Sun Dasheng sighed, he really underestimated the audience for these micro-short dramas.
It seems the 200 million download mark is not the limit for this app.
He relaxed for a few days on the sea.
Sun Dasheng gave the two ladies a good respite.
Their weariness turned even more weary.
Resting was naturally a lie, the real purpose was to trick them over, who let them miss Sun Dasheng’s warm embrace for so long?
Don’t ask.
Ask because he missed them.
Finally, under the strong urging from the two, Sun Dasheng reluctantly ended the trip.
He sent them back to the "Three Littles’" villa.
After a meal and some complaints from Li Sili, Sun Dasheng made a discreet exit.
What he did was indeed a bit unfair, bringing the other two without her, isn’t that favoritism?
But, on a sea yacht, having one more person is a hassle.
It’s so troublesome, he simply didn’t invite her.
Back at the company.
He resumed dealing with documents.
After some relaxation, the documents piled up on his desk again.
Luckily, his physical condition is superb, a few days of battle didn’t affect him much.
It took him less than a day to finish processing the documents.
The secretaries from the company’s Secretariat suddenly felt the power of the ’Demon King’.
Their previously relaxed work instantly became busy, as these signed documents needed to be sent to various subsidiaries immediately.
The company’s subsidiaries were countless.
This was indeed a significant workload, they would need to work overtime for a while.
Thankfully, now the documents are signed online; if it were still the old paper-based work, they’d be exhausted and still couldn’t finish their tasks.
Just after finishing up and preparing to tidy up for departure.
At this moment, Qian Zhi arrived.
Sun Dasheng was a bit surprised and asked, "Did something happen? Coming over at this time without prior notice."
Indeed, being such a big boss, many people are in charge of different aspects. If everyone comes directly without filing a report beforehand, it would mess up his schedule, leading to chaos.
"President Sun, it’s not good, our Onion has been targeted." Qian Zhi was sweating profusely in anxiety.
Sun Dasheng calmly pulled over a chair for him to sit and talk.
"Don’t rush, take your time to explain everything clearly."
Qian Zhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, calmed down a bit, and then said, "Several companies have teamed up to try and seize our market share."
"Oh, competitors are entering the field? That’s good, no industry should allow a single company to monopolize, having others compete is good, the authorities won’t keep such a close eye then." Sun Dasheng explained a rule in business:
That’s that money is endless to earn, and markets can’t be monopolized, otherwise one would face the heavy hand of the authorities.
This is true regardless of the industry size.
Ample competition is necessary to maintain the vitality of businesses and markets.
Otherwise, it’s like stagnant water, just like large domestic corporations, the authorities may want to restructure but find no way to start, relations inside are intricate, complex, forming closed communities where outsiders find it incredibly difficult to enter; they are products of inbreeding.
"Really nothing wrong?" Qian Zhi asked skeptically.
Having always worked in the physical industries, he was consistently wary of new competitors.
Especially with the fierce battles among major milk tea brands, it gave him a sort of reactive syndrome seeing competitors.
"No worries, let them do their thing, even if they copy us entirely, their existence is, in effect, a protection for Onion."
"By the way, which companies are teaming up?" Sun Dasheng then asked for specifics.
"It’s Tencent teaming up with Kangaroo, these two companies jointly announcing investment in a company called Yangyu, which also offers free micro-short drama apps."
"I saw their determination is strong, so I got a bit panicked all of a sudden."
Qian Zhi explained his previous lapse.
Sun Dasheng expressed understanding.
And called in a secretary to serve him some tea.
Sipping the tea, Sun Dasheng thought to himself no wonder he was so thrown off, turns out these two giants teamed up?
As for why they are collaborating, there are many interesting elements to consider here.
