Chapter 1251: Meetings
Neighborhood, this is the name Park Ji-hoon gave to the neighborhood social app. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Simple and straightforward.
The afternoon session also revolved around "neighborhoods".
There are more and more fields involved, and it is urgent to integrate resources. The establishment of the investment company is the first step, the establishment of the N.E.W Group is the second step, and the neighborhood social is the deeper integration.
Many areas can be extended to neighborhood socialization, movie ticket purchase, health consultation, fashion shopping, legal advice, online food ordering...... It's a natural advertising platform!
The meeting discussed how to integrate these resources into neighborhood socialization, including cooperation with the outside world.
Although "closed" and "private" are the selling points of neighborhood socialization, there is also a need for various services. By analyzing and collating the data submitted by the public relations department, the company's planning department is preparing to launch an "on-demand service" function on neighborhood socializing, which naturally involves areas such as taking care of the yard, taking care of pets or children, tutoring, plumbing repair, and so on.
This service was also launched to prevent businesses from infiltrating the neighborhood socially.
Although it has just been launched, "thanks to" his reputation, some fast-eyed merchants have almost simultaneously begun to penetrate this field. The relentless crackdown is a means of coping with neighborhood socialization, but the solution is to replace this behavior with more professional and standardized platforms such as DeliveryHero, an online food ordering platform invested by Park Ji-hoon, and e-commerce platforms.
The reason why Park Ji-hoon also attended the meeting was that on the one hand, he needed to do the final step of the review, and on the other hand, he was asked for money! Today's neighborhood social interaction is still in the stage of "burning money", and every step forward requires a large amount of money as motivation.
"There was no problem with money. Park Ji-hoon agreed very happily, but also put forward his own requirements: "However, I hope everyone can remember our original intention, and truly make Neighborhood Social a social network driven by real-life needs!" After a pause, he added: "For users, privacy should be a benefit, not a risk!" As early as the beginning of the establishment of Neighborhood Social, the first rule he set was to ensure the internal privacy of the community, and its information could not be accessed by any other community or outside, let alone crawled by search engines!
With Nextdoor's experience to learn from, coupled with his own excellent vision and the huge amount of feedback he received during this period of neighborhood socialization, he knows very well the path he wants to take! Even if he explores, he will not be confused, and always know what he is doing and what he wants.
"Neighborhood interaction, community safety and other issues are more and more valued by residents, and every time there is a security accident such as theft and robbery in the community, the number of our users will increase rapidly...... "Ms. Wu Meishu, the person in charge of Neighborhood Social, summarized the meeting and talked about the prospects of neighborhood socialization, "In fact, these are weak needs. However, people will always care about what is happening around them, the people around them, and have the desire to express their opinions, and our prospects are great!"
When recruiting people, the neighborhood social mainly recruits some young people who have a desire to work/desire and are not satisfied with the status quo, who are not yet numb and will not be indifferent to morale-boosting remarks.
Park Ji-hoon also gave great support.
There is a development department responsible for software development and maintenance, a planning department that analyzes data and decides the direction, and a public relations department that conducts market research and solves problems...... There are also various financial subsidies to create the best possible environment. But there is only one thing, do not be incompetent and lazy!
"Our goal is to build a harmonious and healthy neighborhood ecosystem!" concluded Wu Meishu.
This concludes the meeting.
For more than two hours, all the participants participated in the meeting, and the atmosphere was completely different from those bureaucratic meetings.
During the meeting, a "postcard plan" was proposed, where people could keep an eye on their neighbors who had not yet signed up for the neighborhood social tools, and fill in the address of the neighbor they wanted to invite, and the neighbor would send them an invitation postcard based on this information.
In Park Ji-hoon's view, this retro method has the potential to become popular, and he praised the person who proposed it!
It was also suggested that a platform should be created specifically for public institutions, such as community services, legal aid, emergency departments, etc. The main purpose is to make it impossible for these organizations to see content within the community unless the residents contact or respond to their posts directly.
Park Ji-hoon adopted.
However, after the meeting, Wu Meishu approached him and expressed her concern in this regard: "With the increase in the number of users, it will inevitably attract the attention of the government and businessmen to these data!" However, the potential value of these data, after accumulating to a certain extent, is bound to attract the attention of people with ulterior motives.
"South Korea is different from the United States. Park Ji-hoon smiled and replied.
Oh Mi-sook is a Korean-American, 35-year-old graduate of the Wharton School of Management at the University of Pennsylvania, who is not well-known internationally, but is well-known in the American management community, having worked for Comcast Telecommunications.
Park Ji-hoon met her by chance during his "inspection" last year, and successfully poached her into his company at the beginning of this year.
She still doesn't know much about South Korea's national conditions.
"In South Korea, social discourse has a lot of influence, especially when combined with capital!" Park said softly.
Although her voice was soft, Wu Meishu heard the confidence and control in his words, nodded, and began to discuss some issues in the company's management with him.
It is very important for a company, especially a company that has just been founded, to have a good owner!
Even if he personally poached Oh Mi-sook, Park Ji-hoon on the one hand almost completely trusts and gives great power, but on the other hand, he examines it from time to time.
This ambivalent attitude made Wu Meishu feel more stressed than when she was at Comcast Telecom!
In fact, she didn't know much about Park Ji-hoon, and it could even be said that she was limited to the information on the Internet! But the relationship between people is sometimes so wonderful, but after two or three conversations, she resigned from Comcast Telecom and came to South Korea alone to join Park Ji-hoon.
Of course, Park Ji-hoon is also worthy of her trust, not only leaving the neighborhood social management to her, but also arranging all personal affairs for her, including flying to Philadelphia every month to get together with her husband and daughter.
"The funds will be available in these two days. After coming to the first floor of the company, Park Ji-hoon stepped out of the elevator and said to Oh Mi-sook.
"Let's eat together?" Wu Meishu nodded and invited.
Before you know it, it's dinner time.
"I'm sorry, I have an appointment. After Park Ji-hoon declined, he paused and added: "It's good for now, it doesn't need to be too fast." ”
Wu Meishu nodded again.
It's not very strong, but it's a very serious character, and it's used to expressing its attitude with body movements.
