Rebirth: Super Banking System-Chapter 944 - 829: Growth (Subscribe Please!)

This product launch event is not just for the audience present.

It started from the early morning.

The teaser was already posted on the homepage of Comet Video.

Right on schedule, three minutes before the release event officially kicked off, the full event was streamed live.

But that’s not all; this message shamelessly popped up in the bottom-right corner of all users’ web pages, attracting many curious clicks since it was Comet Video’s first pop-up.

From today onwards,

the pop-up advertisement will officially go live.

Not just on the main interface’s homepage,

but also in prominent places in the sub-category interfaces with text and picture links.

More shamelessly, every user watching videos at that time saw a flash of subtitle links on their screen, causing quite a stir, and within only three minutes, over fifty thousand had clicked in.

Subtitle system.

Tang Qing had launched it on the website long ago, but for now, only members could post subtitles. It’s undeniable; the power of privilege is enthralling. Just for the ability to post subtitles, a large number of people registered for membership.

However, Tang Qing didn’t make a fortune from this.

Because the price of membership wasn’t high.

For just five yuan, you could get a Gold Membership for one month; currently, Comet Video has only launched this level of membership. The twenty-yuan Diamond membership would be introduced in the second half of the year.

The reason is also related to copyrights.

Tang Qing wanted to build the largest, most comprehensive video website in the country, allowing users to watch high-definition, licensed films and television from around the world. The authorization negotiations for this part were still ongoing and needed time to be arranged.

For the money from the memberships,

Tang Qing really didn’t care.

Video websites.

The real source of income was the advertising fee. Selling memberships was merely to increase user stickiness. If relying on that to make money, the video website would go bankrupt.

Thus,

one after another, the users currently watching videos were drawn over by the subtitles, curious to see what the ’personal butler that makes your work more efficient’ in the title was all about.

The press conference had hardly been going for ten minutes,

when the barrage on this video went off.

The barrage went from ’President Dou is so pretty,’ ’President Dou, do you have a boyfriend?’ and other ’friendly greetings’ to ’murmurs of resentment.’

"Damn, there is actually such an incredible enterprise management software. Can’t help but say, seeing the beauty, I’m downloading it immediately."

"Following up on that, I strongly suggest Comet Video increase the word count for the barrage, this little text isn’t enough for me to show off my extraordinary literary talent. Period."

"Who is this, so pretty, no matter the software, I have decided on it. Where is it? I’m going to download it right away."

"Are you idiots? This is enterprise management software, the features within are definitely useful for bosses, but for employees, it means"

"Damn, I strongly suggest allowing unlimited words in the barrage, name your price, continuing from before, this means employees won’t be able to slack off."

"Seems like it really is, everything’s procedural, standardized management; employees can barely slack off, let alone be overwhelmed with work, strongly opposed."

"Yes, strongly opposed, like this everything is under the boss’ control, also, calling again for opening up the limit on subtitle word count."

"So useful, really love it, do you know why? Because... I am the boss. La la la la... eh, not enough words yet."

"Shit, it’s the end for employees, it’s springtime for bosses."

"Agreed..."

"..."

This outcome,

was not unexpected.

Tang Qing had foreseen this situation when he had initiated the software project.

Scientific.

Procedural.

Flat.

Transparent management methods, naturally are things that are most beneficial for bosses, as they can significantly improve the running efficiency of a company and use data to identify the hindrances in company operations, because data doesn’t lie.

But for employees,

it is not such a great thing.

However,

Tang Qing still went ahead and released it.

The world is progressing.

Technology is advancing.

Automation has already sounded the clarion call to replace manual labor. Having seen the high-efficiency operations in the Command Room, he could not tolerate inefficiencies and could not stop innovating just because you can’t slack off anymore.

This thought is also influenced by perspective.

If he were an employee, of course, he would resist it.

But from a boss’s perspective, this software is simply magical.

Tang Qing even had an idea.

That was to fully enter the office software industry, the enterprise management software is just the beginning. Next, he wanted to try his hand at government management software. If successful, it would also be a beneficial thing for the country and the people.

...

Inside the exhibition hall,

the press conference continued.

Now, it was time for the journalists’ question segment, one question per person, no more.

The first question was quite sharp,

"President Dou, Xiao Xiao’s functionality is very powerful, and I am also looking forward to its effectiveness, but if this software really is as outstanding as you claim, would it increase the work intensity for employees?

After all, with higher operational efficiency in the company, it implies that some positions might experience increased labor intensity over the same time period, the same wages but more work, could this create unfairness?"

Facing this question, Dou Jiao smiled calmly.

She said, "Thank you for that question. Indeed, from the perspective of work intensity, the improvement in efficiency might result in more tasks being concentrated quickly among certain employees.
