Chapter 70 Between choices

However, before getting off work, an unexpected incident suddenly dampened Jin Shang's original good mood.

The signed article, which had been posted on the Northern United Online homepage for less than two hours, soon appeared on the BBS forum of the Beijing Federation of Students. The "porter" directly scraped the full text without consulting Jin Shang himself.

Our website strongly promoted it, and the number of clicks in half an afternoon was barely over a thousand. The number of discussion posts on the Capital Student Federation exceeded several times in a very short period of time.

Such a comparison made Jin Shang feel sourly.

"These days, comprehensive portal websites are really no match for BBS forums!"

There are rumors that in the electronic reading rooms in major universities in Beijing, some students can't get out of the electronic reading rooms whenever they have free time. They sit there for hours. In contrast, the "viscosity" of Northern United Online is far, far behind.

Not as good as the Beijing Federation of Students.

Although the development prospects of BBS forums are average, the upper limit is not high, and monetization is very difficult, it is indeed several steps ahead of other websites in terms of gathering traffic and leading the direction of public opinion.

Before the rise of social networking sites, forums built based on college students were truly capable of leaving all their opponents behind.

However, no matter how envious and jealous he was, Jin Shang suppressed the idea of ​​setting up a forum of his own.

Experience in his previous life told Jin Shang that there are very few forums that have truly realized the transformation from traffic to commercial operations. This type of website only occupies a very important position when netizens are immature.

It's big but not strong, it's too puffy and too fat to fight, it's a mixed bag of good and bad, it's difficult to manage, it'll cause chaos when it's released, and it'll die when it's taken away.

It can be used, but cannot be used as a foundation.

Even after convincing himself, looking at the posts and discussions one after another, Jin Shang could not help but salivate at the huge traffic of the Capital Student Federation.

"Let's see who can have the last laugh!"

Jin Shang, who closed the website and prepared to get off work gloomily, also understood that there are some things that he would really not envy for a while.

With the "assist" from the BBS forum, the matter between Jin Shang and Lu Liao will most likely create a greater momentum than he imagined.

When attention has risen to the point where college students are generally discussed, relevant parties will inevitably characterize it and clarify their attitudes.

"Forget it this time, I won't hold you accountable for taking it without telling me and reprinting it without permission."

Although his words were tough, Jin Shang also understood that if he really came to him, or even resorted to legal action, he would end up with nothing, and he would just be a bad guy for once and gain nothing.

Again, the law is blank and there is nothing we can do. Even if we send a lawyer's letter, we can't find the responsible party.

In his previous life, Jin Shang has completely experienced the entire process of the Internet from scratch, from weakness to prosperity, from disorder to standardization. Of course, he understands that it is important to use legal weapons to protect one's legitimate rights and interests. How to turn bad things into good things and maximize benefits is even more important.

important.

Opening a business is not about competing for a moment, and there is no need to distinguish right from wrong with your competitors.

After tidying up and tidying up the office, Li Xuan and Li Xuan, who had been waiting for a long time, went to a nearby pedestrian street to have a meal and then visited the night market.

The weather is getting hotter and it is about to enter the midsummer period, and the enthusiasm of young and old men in the capital for nightlife is gradually increasing.

The neon lights are shining, lighting up the streets and alleys, and the business of the "fly restaurants" on the roadside is gradually improving.

Li Xuan, who was carrying large and small bags, handed each of tonight's "trophies" to Jin Shang, and then said happily:

"Being a boss is more comfortable than working part-time, and you don't have to work overtime."

"Actually, if there's nothing else, I'd rather stay a little longer, but..."

Jin Shang chuckled,

"If I don't leave, even if other people have finished their work, they will be embarrassed to leave before the boss."

As the boss of the company, overtime work is not just overtime work, but also means supervising employees' overtime work. Regardless of whether Jin Shang thinks so himself, his subordinates will have such concerns.

In fact, this is easy to understand. The boss's office is brightly lit, while the employees' office area is dark and completely deserted. How can this be embarrassing?

"This is not a question of whether to pay overtime pay, but to maintain a certain level. For example, Editor Zhao has to go back to take care of his children and serve his parents-in-law; Editor Wang probably has to consider getting married to his fiancé and buying a house; Director Wei's child has just entered kindergarten.

There are a lot of things waiting for her; there is also Brother Liu, who has to prepare for the blind date arrangements at home every now and then; Xiao Yin is quite busy during this period, works a lot of overtime, often lives in the company, and the family even sends chicken soup to replenish the body.

Are you worried about your children being bullied or deceived in the workplace?"

Work is important, but work is not everything in life. It is necessary to motivate employees. If all their time and energy are taken up, without any private space at their disposal, it is not far from forcing them to leave.

.

Maybe twenty years from now, there will be many programmers, editors, artists, finance professionals, etc. who are willing to work overtime, but not now.

These days, it’s not easy to recruit experienced, honest and reliable full-time drivers. Taxi driving is no longer as stylish as it was ten years ago, but it is still regarded as a very respectable profession, and in the future, you will earn a living through hard work.

Being a car driver is not the same thing.

It’s really not that Jin Shang is so enlightened that he doesn’t want his employees to get involved, but that his company is not attractive enough now. People in key positions have left, and it’s not easy to recruit another one.

The loss of any great talent would be an earthquake for Jinxi Culture.

Fortunately, although migrant workers in this era do not have high trust in private enterprises, especially start-up companies, as long as the boss pays enough and the favor is in place, they can leave without losing face.

The social atmosphere has not yet reached the point where as long as you possess a certain skill, frequent job-hopping will not have a big impact on your future. There are too many companies you have worked for on your resume, especially if your employer treats you badly. It is not good to just give up the job for no special reason.

The "black spots" in explanations will give the employer a negative impression of being "unreliable and unstable".

"I have never seen these in books..."

Li Xuan certainly believed some of Jin Shang's heartfelt words, but these did not seem to be exactly the same as professional knowledge.

During this period, in order to adapt to her post-work role as soon as possible, Li Xuan read a lot of books on management, operation and finance. Judging from her actual experience, there seemed to be some discrepancies.

"That's for sure! A small company must give priority to efficiency, and the boss's personal will is very strong. Because the risk-taking ability is relatively poor, it must be flexible enough, make decisions quickly, and execute decisively. For a company with dozens of core employees, the leadership is good enough

, enough to manage all aspects carefully. It is different for large companies. They must find a balance between efficiency and cost. There are too many people and many things to take care of, so they have to establish bloated institutions and management teams to strengthen control.

At present, Jinxi Culture is just a toddling baby just starting out. If a start-up company applies any management theory mechanically, it will inevitably cause the small company to suffer from the disease of big companies, which is a recipe for death.

Of course, the conditions in all walks of life are different, and the actual application is also slightly different. A strategy that is effective in one place may not be suitable for another place. In short, just slowly get to know it, and don’t be anxious. Read more and think more.

If you don’t understand, feel free to ask for advice…”

After a few months of starting a business, Jin Shang actually gained a lot of practical insights, and he couldn’t even explain all the big principles in a short while.

"When you come out to play, don't talk too much about work. Where are you going to go shopping next?"

"Buy you some clothes..."

"Eh? Didn't you buy it when the seasons changed?"

"That's different! Didn't you find that there's something wrong with your dress? It's either baggy student clothes or old-fashioned formal clothes, which don't match your temperament well..."

"I look like this and at this age, it's normal to wear casual student clothes, right? Wearing formal clothes at work doesn't mean being old-fashioned, it means being mature and steady."

"The contrast is too obvious, but it highlights your immature nature because you are too young. Imagine for yourself a junior high school student with a slicked back hair, a suit and leather shoes, and shiny leather shoes on his feet.

Walking in all directions..."

In an instant, the scene described by his girlfriend appeared in Jin Shang's mind, and he brought his own image into it, and then a chill suddenly hit his body.

"Is this the impression I usually give people?"

"It's not that exaggerated, it's just a bit inconsistent. Young and mature, it's still a bit concerning..."

"That's right!"

The pride of being a time traveler made it impossible for Jin Shang to pretend to be that childish style, that little adult temperament from the inside out.

Moreover, teenagers of Jin Shang's age, especially boys, are mostly high school students with little money and limited spending power. They usually wear either school uniforms or sportswear, cultural shirts or jackets and jeans. The clothing market does not prepare suitable styles for them at all.

clothes.

"Nowadays, where can I find matching outfits worthy of 'young genius' and 'entrepreneurial youth'?"

Searching all over the world, I am afraid there is no design standard with such division.

"How did you do it before?"

"In school, I wear student clothes, and when I work, I wear customized professional clothes. I usually buy some clothes that look pleasing to my eye..."

He has very few friends and almost no opportunities to discuss personal image topics with his peers. Because he is too opinionated, Jin Toki doesn’t give much advice in this area.

Before graduation, Jin Shang occasionally got into the mood and would go shopping and buy some clothes that he liked. In addition, every time the seasons changed, he would go for a walk in the garment factory owned by Lao Jin, and he found it quite acceptable.

Just pack it up and bring it back.

Regardless of whether they are rustic or not, whether they fit the image or not, it is true that I often change my clothes. Some of them I don’t even remember whether I have worn them. After a year or two, I have grown taller and cannot wear them anymore, so I just treat them as old clothes and donate them.

.

In the past, there were no high requirements for dressing up. It was unrealistic to expect a family where father and son would live together to be considerate.

Things are different now. Even if you are not like an entertainment star, you need to always pay attention to your public image. When you go out, you still have to measure yourself against the requirements of society.

"That's why you take it for granted to design your own image?"

"It's not a matter of course, but a conclusion after careful consideration..."

"That's it?"

Li Xuan took a look at Jin Shang's casual-looking custom-made shirt and slim trousers, and couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.
