CHAPTER 1879: CHAPTER 1704: HEADLINES

Afternoon.

Comet Group.

Headquarters.

"Chairman!"

Pu Chaodong personally came down to greet. Even on weekends, he was working overtime. Now, the Group’s business is getting larger and larger, with more and more tasks. As the President, he hardly has any days off.

Working hard.

And enjoying it.

Otherwise.

Holding onto the feeling of exhaustion.

Would only make oneself unhappy. Moreover, he wants to see this company move towards an even more glorious future, following Tang Qing to build a stable business empire.

Nowadays.

Formidable enemies surround us.

No matter how outside praises them, not even Microsoft dares to claim stability. Tangren, HuaYi, are continuously thinking of reviving, while outside there are ERV Entertainment and various major world-class film companies.

Walking on thin ice.

This is his current state.

Office.

"Chairman, the testing version of Headlines is already prepared. From the results, it is perfect. By after midnight tonight, it will be available for free download on major APP malls."

"Since you called, starting tomorrow, the Epoch devices manufactured by Qingyuan Technology will be equipped with it. Negotiations with various smartphone manufacturers are underway, and we believe good news will arrive soon."

"We have notified all original Comet video creators, helping them register Headlines official accounts, and have sent them the requirements for short video production. Uploading will start at eight o’clock tomorrow morning."

"..."

Right from the start.

Pu Chaodong reported the projects the company is about to launch.

--- Headlines.

This.

Was a project proposed by Tang Qing. Initially, it wasn’t undertaken by Comet Group, but another company. Later, when it was almost done, our Chairman decided to transfer it under Comet Group.

At first.

Pu Chaodong was a bit apprehensive.

However.

After using it, he was silent for a long time. Despite not having many test videos, all edited and produced by the company itself, the big data content push showed him its power.

Sometimes.

He couldn’t stop scrolling.

"That’s good."

Tang Qing nodded.

The Headlines project has been established for a long time, and it should be launched already.

However.

This is the initial version; many functionalities haven’t been added yet to avoid going all out initially. Just like Headlines in the beginning, hardly anyone noticed its potential.

Later.

One by one, new functionalities went online, solidifying its status, causing concern for Penguin. Even Tang Qing, before sleeping, unconsciously opened Headlines, thinking of watching it for just ten minutes before sleep.

However.

He ended up watching for an hour.

Then.

Oh dear.

It’s one o’clock in the morning.

"Time is the ultimate battlefield in business," as said by Old Luo, which Tang Qing agrees with. How much a thing can occupy people’s free time determines its status in the business realm.

Registered users are no longer useful.

What about Renren?

What about Meitu?

All have hundreds of millions of registered users.

However, who thinks Meitu is amazing? Yes, photo editing is powerful, but no one would spend a whole day on it. Thus, Headlines won, TikTok won, winning by consuming people’s fragmented time.

Three minutes.

Five minutes.

Can’t watch TV series, can’t read a novel.

No problem.

I watch clips.

Some are only ten seconds long, yet can take away these fragmented moments. Then, it wins. From this perspective, even WeChat can’t compare, as it can’t continuously provide valuable information.

"The main value of this project is to provide original, high-quality content. Currently, Comet Video gathers the most original video creators in Huaxia, allowing for a swift transfer."

"That’s their strength."

"Additionally, actively contact major TV stations and media. They have a lot of materials and can settle on the platform. We can produce, with costs similar to original creators."

"Furthermore, actively invest in some individual video creators, such as those focusing on domestic and international travel, introducing local customs, deliberately producing high-quality short videos."

"In the initial phase, more effort needs to be applied. Once everything goes on the right track, things will be much easier, and people will spontaneously settle on the platform, providing increasingly rich information content."

"However, strengthen the reviews, quickly addressing content such as vulgarity, explicitness, advertisements, plagiarism, sensational titles, poor quality, offensive content, infringing on reputations."

"..."

Last meeting.

Tang Qing held a half-hour meeting with them.

Specially discussing this matter.

Especially the content quality, which Tang Qing repeatedly emphasized, determines a platform’s attractiveness. Once the era of self-media arrives, with mobile internet developing into its later phases, it becomes an advantage.

With Headlines established.

Is TikTok far behind?

However.

Not now. Wait until Headlines stabilizes. Then talk about capturing fragmented time, where TikTok should be the ultimate point in the video field competitions; after all, ten seconds are already rare.

Three seconds?

One second?

Impossible. First, the content showcased is too limited; second, it caters downwards.

Twenty minutes later.

The meeting concluded.

Tang Qing didn’t leave immediately. This hands-off leader can’t be too hands-off. Visiting three to five times a year, there must be at least one occasion to visit various departments, encouraging and inspecting them.

"Hard work."

"Keep it up."

"Well done."

"With you here, I feel assured."

"..."

Simple.

But it can let people below know their work is valued, not just treated like screws. Now, after another hour, Tang Qing arrived at the final stop.

--- Comet Film.

Entrance.

Just about to go in.

"Hello, Chairman."

A crisp voice came from the side.

Turning his head.

Tang Qing smiled.

"Yiyi, you’re quite leisurely for an assistant." At this moment, Wang Yan’s assistant and roommate Wei Yiyi was carrying a bag, holding a half-eaten sugar gourd in her hand.

"Hehe."

Wei Yiyi displayed a cute smile.

"This is all thanks to the Chairman’s care, giving this little girl a meal. Here, would you like one?" Wei Yiyi approached, knowing Tang Qing wouldn’t get angry for this.

Others looked at Wei Yiyi kindly.

Within the company.

Exists a unique presence; they all know Wang Yan is Tang Qing’s high school classmate, even his seatmate. From Tang Qing’s treatment and resources given to Wang Yan, you can see the unusual favor, yet she strives hard.

Without relying on the powerful resources of the Group.

Focusing on music creation.

Otherwise.

Given the Group’s capability.

She would have been a top-tier celebrity long ago.

It was later.

They learned she also had a financially secure father, in real estate, although not much wealth, just several hundred million, not in line with any Group vice president, but sufficient for her financial security.

"No, thank you."

"Then I’ll let you continue."

"Okay."

After saying this.

Tang Qing entered the building, guided by Shen Yi, the general manager. Today was the weekend, not too many people but not too few either. As business expanded, the whole building was almost used up. Thankfully, it sufficed.

No need to build new buildings.
