Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

"~Kusuke, this is a website that Beidouxing Communications needs to develop next!"

He had his assistant hand a proposal to Terada Sosuke.

He picked up the proposal with some curiosity and read it aloud.

"NN Weibo?"

"President, should we start a blog too?"

I saw this somewhat familiar name.

Terada Sosuke subconsciously associated it with blogs.

"Yes and no!"

Kitahara Makoto explained.

"Weibo, as the name suggests, is a microblog."

“Microblogs are different from current blogs. First, each post is limited to 200 characters. Second, you can add pictures.”

"The second is that it places more emphasis on social attributes. Compared to blogs, microblogs are simpler and more convenient to operate. Anyone can post anytime, anywhere."

In the future, microblogs, Twitter, and other social networking sites will be very important.

It can generate enormous economic value.

Most importantly, these publicity platforms will be the most influential media platforms in the future.

By mastering these, one gains control over the narrative.

The right to speak is also a right!

Those who control the mouthpiece control a portion of the social lifeline.

This is a terrifying power.

They can manipulate people's hearts and minds, play with the masses, and subtly change the overall situation.

With this power, he could even manipulate Japanese government officials to come to power.

Everyone will try to win him over.

Members of Parliament, cabinet ministers, including the prime minister.

Everyone has to curry favor with him.

In Japan, no one dared to offend him anymore.

This illustrates the importance of having a voice.

Kitahara Shin attaches great importance to 'NN Weibo'.

Therefore, the proposal was written in great detail.

There are clear requirements and suggestions regarding various functions, page design, and graphic design.

Basically, you just need to follow the instructions.

Terada Sosuke couldn't see how important this thing was.

Because there are already blogs with some overlapping functions.

However, this was a task assigned to him by Kitahara Makoto.

With so many successes, Kitahara Makoto's reputation among the company's top management had reached a godlike level.

In the eyes of the company's senior management.

The boss is an unparalleled business genius.

Whatever he says is right.

If you do as the boss says, you will succeed.

So Terada Sosuke left NicoNico with a confident proposal.

After Terada Sosuke left.

Kitahara Shin had another proposal brought to Kawamoto Yuta.

Yuta Kawamoto picked it up and looked at it; a line of large characters was written on it:

"NicoNico supermarket?!"

Chapter 104: Big Data Algorithm Research Institute

After some time of reflection.

Kitahara Makoto felt that they still had to do 'e-commerce'.

Because e-commerce is the ultimate destination.

Whether it's creating a video website, a communications business, or a short video platform.

These are all just ways to acquire traffic.

and then?

What happens after you gain traffic?

How can we monetize this traffic and turn it into money?

This is an important question that internet companies need to consider.

It's like opening a restaurant in a bustling city.

The most important thing became how to attract a large flow of people to make money.

After much thought, Kitahara Makoto realized that he still had to go into e-commerce.

The choices made by major companies in later generations speak for themselves.

Everyone wants to get a piece of the pie in e-commerce.

However, there are many different forms of e-commerce.

Kitahara Makoto ultimately decided to copy JD.com's model.

When it becomes a super-large online department store.

The reason for doing this is that this model is easier to manage and control.

Of course, no matter how large a department store is, it's impossible for it to be comprehensive in every aspect.

There are so many products on the market.

There are definitely some areas that their own department stores cannot cover.

Therefore, Kitahara Shinkai's e-commerce platform also allows other merchants to join.

Spring is not spring when only one flower blooms; spring is spring when all flowers are in bloom.

Kitahara Shinya hopes to leverage the influence of other major brands to increase the leverage of his e-commerce platform.

……

177 has decided to open a super-large online supermarket.

Therefore, it is natural to need management talent with practical experience.

Most of NicoNico's senior executives have only internet-related work experience, and a small number of them have no experience working in department stores.

Therefore, Kitahara Shinji allowed Kawamoto Yuta to establish a new subsidiary.

That is, the 'NicoNico Department Store' mentioned in the business plan that Yuta Kawamoto received.

After NicoNico Department Store was established.

Kitahara Makoto directly spent a large sum of money to acquire the famous Japanese department store giant, Daimaru Matsuzakaya Department Store.

They poached a high-ranking executive from them.

This man is named 'Yusuke Fujimura'. He has extensive management experience and is only in his early forties. He is also very quick to adapt to new things.

Kitahara Makoto thought he was a promising e-commerce talent who could be trained.

Therefore, he was appointed as the general manager of NicoNico Department Store.

He was temporarily put in charge of the company's procurement of goods.

In addition, Kitahara Makoto established an IT department, hired some skilled programmers, and began developing the company's shopping website...

……

……

In an elegant and tranquil courtyard.

The water flow presses down the bamboo planks, and once the water has drained away, the bamboo planks rise again, and this cycle repeats.

In the courtyard, Kitahara Makoto met with Masayoshi Son of SoftBank Group and a senior executive of the Mitsui Group.

After meeting (cecj), he got straight to the point.

"NicoNico must have its own online payment channels!"

"..."

Masayoshi Son and the top executives of the Mitsui Group exchanged a glance.

Both of them pondered the meaning behind Kitahara Shin's words.

After a while, Masayoshi Son spoke first.

"What do you want to do?"

"We're developing a new payment tool specifically for online payment scenarios!" Kitahara Makoto explained.

"This requires the support of banks, and they have to be national banks!"

A senior executive of the Mitsui Group explained.

Fundraising, deposits... these are things that only banks and some insurance companies can do.

That's why I found you!

Kitahara Makoto also had the ability to find other major commercial banks.

However, due to conflicts of interest, it's understandable if, in the early stages, the other party doesn't care about such small gains.

But later on, the benefits of such a payment tool will become apparent.

Without sufficient shared interests, people won't help you at all; in fact, they might even turn against you.

Therefore, Kitahara Makoto ultimately decided to approach SoftBank and Mitsui.

Both of them have their own affiliated commercial banks.

For a super-large capital conglomerate, a bank is essential.

Only by controlling a bank can one conceal their financial movements and easily perform many operations that others cannot.

In the future, NicoNico will definitely need to have its own bank.

Even if it's not a nationwide commercial bank.

Even a local bank would suffice.

As long as you can hide the flow of funds and prevent others from knowing your actual financial strength, it's fine.

"I need Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation to provide me with support!"

Kitahara Makoto laid his cards on the table.

Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation can be considered the core of the Mitsui Group.

It is also the third largest commercial bank in Japan and one of the top ten commercial banks in the world.

It is a nationwide commercial bank.

Only nationwide commercial banks are exempt from regional restrictions.
