Chapter 253 Really Poor
When Ji Xingyi asked the question, she already had a general consideration in mind, but she still wanted to hear the ideas of these "talents".
See how they came up with this ingenious strategy.
Zuo Yi explained, "Boss, the original short drama app adopted a model of both free and paid services, and the fees were usually between RMB 1.5 and RMB 2."
"But each short series has at least 40 episodes, so the cost for viewers to watch the entire series is 80 yuan."
"With our new model, you can watch the entire series for only 9 yuan, which is relatively cost-effective."
He paused, then continued, "Moreover, we also offer free viewing of TV series with commercials and a membership discount of 19.9 yuan a day."
"We have tested that if a person has time from 8 am to 8 pm, he can finish watching four dramas in one day. Even if he can't reach the standard of four dramas, he can at least finish watching two."
"So, if you calculate it this way, you can watch all four dramas for 19.9 yuan, which is really a good deal."
“In addition, with this model, we can attract a specific audience group and our streaming funds will not be wasted.”
Zuoyi went on to add, "Besides, the annual membership prices of video apps on the market are between 280 yuan and 365 yuan. We are not taking advantage of the highest price. And it is very cost-effective to spend one yuan a day to watch various short dramas for free."
He concluded: "We have created a new short drama model, so naturally we need a new charging standard to match it. Whether from a moral or rational point of view, our practice is not against the rules."
Manager Zhu nodded in agreement: "That's right, boss."
"That's right, so this new model is closer to the needs of the audience. Basically, it can be said that it has achieved mutual benefit."
"Of course, when it was first introduced, the public was definitely unfamiliar with this new model and inevitably had some resistance."
"But over time, they will naturally accept it. Of course, our publicity work must also be done well so that we can better promote the short drama." Manager Zhu added.
Ji Xingyi looked at the two of them with an admiring look on his face.
"You guys... did a really great job on this matter!" She looked at the two of them and suddenly smiled.
"Ah! Boss, aren't you going to criticize us?" Zuo Yi asked in surprise.
"Why criticize? You did nothing wrong in this matter, you just lacked a little in public relations."
"When the first wave of doubts emerged, you didn't respond in a timely manner, which led to more and more people coming to you and thinking that we were charging exorbitant prices and were running a scam."
"In fact, when this matter first came out, you should have immediately submitted the project plan, charging model and other detailed process information to the regulatory authorities. Then find a public relations team, or even a cyber army, to change public opinion."
……
Ji Xingyi listed one by one the areas where they had fallen short.
"This is the first time for everyone to use this module. It is normal to have some imperfections. We just need to keep improving it based on the users."
"Also, our charging model mainly needs to make the audience feel that they are getting a bargain and that it is a discount. Only then can this model be considered truly effective."
Hearing Ji Xingyi's words, several managers nodded in unison, their hearts filled with admiration.
As expected of the boss, his perspective is broader than theirs, and his angle on issues is more comprehensive and in-depth.
Ji Xingyi then picked out areas that needed follow-up and rectification in other departments. Each point hit the nail on the head, making several managers' eyes light up.
If these matters are left to them, they can be solved, but it will undoubtedly take more time and energy.
But the boss was able to get it right in one step and even pointed out the details, which really makes people admire him.
Ji Xingyi knew that this was simply because they were not familiar with the market yet and had not had much exposure to it, so they needed her to guide them now.
But from now on, they have to rely on themselves.
So, she said seriously: "At present, the top priority is to get all the company's project tasks on track, so I will follow up. But when the projects are in place, you will be responsible for everything."
There was a certain seriousness and earnestness in her words, which made several managers feel pressured.
But at the same time, they also understand that this is the boss's trust and expectations of them.
"If there is a problem with any sector at that time, I will not be lenient."
Ji Xingyi added at the end, with an unusual sharpness and decisiveness in his eyes.
This made several managers secretly resolve to work harder and live up to their boss's expectations.
After several managers left, Zuo Yi apologized to Ji Xingyi guiltily.
"Boss, I'm sorry for disappointing you and for causing you to receive a letter of complaint as soon as you returned."
Ji Xingyi stood up and gave him a helping hand, shaking her head and said, "Manager Zuo, this is not your fault. We can't always do everything perfectly, and it's not too late to remedy the situation now. You've done well enough!"
She thanked him sincerely: "Thanks to you being here, we didn't suffer any substantial losses."
"Besides, there may be other peers involved. In fact, this charging model will not cause much reaction from the audience. It is just that this point of public opinion has been exaggerated!"
Zuo Yi also thought of this situation, and he said in a deep voice: "Boss, I have noticed this matter, and I have asked people to investigate which companies took the lead. The results will be out soon."
"Well, so you don't have to belittle yourself. We have to keep up with the times. It's not terrible to make mistakes. What's terrible is not facing them and not making corrections."
"thank you boss!"
"So, you..." Before Ji Xingyi could finish her words, the office door was pushed open with a bang.
"Boss...you have to make the decision for me!"
Shen Weiren's voice arrived before he did, and his tone was full of grievance and anger.
Seeing that Zuo Yi was still there, he rushed up and threw the information in his hand into his hand.
He muttered angrily, "Take a look at these purchase expenditure details for yourself!"
He turned around and complained to Ji Xingyi pitifully, "Boss, these guys are no longer human! They have learned to overspend!"
"A light bulb costs one thousand yuan, a rag costs five yuan, and a box of pens costs fifty yuan..."
"There are also the Art Department, the Film and Television Department, and the Game Department. They are all purchasing some high-end equipment, and the money is flowing out like crazy..."
He wiped the corners of his eyes, which were tearless, and said earnestly, "Boss, we were able to get by without these things before, but now we shouldn't pay too much attention to these superficial skills."
"The company has just started, and I understand that we need to spend money wisely. We should save on these common items and forget about unnecessary ones."
"As long as we can achieve results, we can still be respected without these superficial things."
Ji Xingyi looked at Shen Wei, whose expression was about to break down, and glanced sideways at the document in Zuo Yi's hand with some surprise.
Zuo Yi handed the document to Ji Xingyi and said awkwardly: "Boss, we just want to match your identity and not embarrass you."
"We are now cooperating with China Entertainment, and Lexing's standards are so high now. We just want people to not be laughed at for their rough style when they come to Xingtu."
Ji Xingyi looked at the expenses on the document, and her expression twitched for a moment.
No wonder Shen Wei, the miser, is on the verge of collapse.
A set of cups costs 10,000 yuan. If the whole company were equipped with the same configuration, how much would it cost!
Not to mention other miscellaneous items and some high-end appliances.
The gaming department applied for the highest-configuration computer, which costs nearly RMB 300,000 each, not to mention the graphics cards which cost more than RMB 20,000 each.
She finally understood why Zuo Yi and others thought of so many ways to make money.
She is really poor...
