Chapter 510: Chapter 227 Thorough Conquest, Completely Satisfied_2

So what is the main contradiction for many companies—such as Alibaba and Baidu?

If you ask me to summarize, I’d say it’s that companies need to decentralize after reaching a certain stage of development, but the problem arises from the high degree of centralization that’s too strong.

This is the case with many companies. They were built entirely on the capabilities of an exceedingly potent leader, whose authority was so dominant that he had no partners, only subordinates.

Therefore, when the company develops to a point where it needs to fully leverage everyone’s talents, the subordinates will still continue to seek the leader’s opinion on everything instead of being highly autonomous.

This is just a simple analogy, the actual situation is definitely more complicated.

Think about it, if Jobs hadn’t passed away but had stepped down instead, do you believe Apple would have immediately plunged into internal strife?

On the other hand, take Tencent for example, CEO Xiao Ma always managed the company with a particularly soft touch and gave substantial autonomy to the heads of various divisions, so they didn’t face the problem of decentralization—at least not a serious one.

Ok, the above is only about regular commercial companies, not MCN organizations.

Do you know what’s different about MCN organizations?

Honestly, this analysis had an effect on Zhang Dayi like a clarion call.

With her mouth slightly open, her expression was frozen between shock and deep thought, and her body trembled slightly.

"Centralization..."

It took just a second to go from murmuring to herself to shouting out loud.

"Damn! MCN organizations are the last companies that should implement a centralized system!

If they rely too much on one core, their valuations will never go up!

Old Feng and Mr. Feng always remind me to quickly cultivate new anchors, and I always tell them not to rush me, as it’s no use hurrying...

Honestly, I’m inherently averse to newcomers stealing my spotlight, but I really tried my best!

How can they blame me if the valuation isn’t high?

My efforts are still what’s propping up the current valuation!"

Her thoughts were a bit scattered, but that’s a normal phenomenon when someone is excited.

Su Huai smiled with satisfaction.

After all that groundwork, she finally realized the truly crucial issue.

And it wasn’t Su Huai who told her, but a conclusion she reached through her own reflection, which made her firmly convinced.

Su Huai hadn’t beguiled her. He simply allowed her to see the truth.

To use the word "truth" might seem a bit grandiose, but in the specialized field of MCNs, the ceiling for centralization isn’t very high.

Ni Haishan’s Haishan Culture, Little Brother Yang’s Three Sheep, Ruhan which tanked below one yuan...

There’s an abundance of examples.

Although in this era, there are not too many examples of failure yet, the concept of "decentralization" hasn’t become popular either. All Su Huai needed to do was to make her truly see this inherent contradiction; that alone was enough to have a tremendous impact on her.

Advanced but understandable thinking has always been the hallmark of a conqueror.

Su Huai’s thoughts were so commanding, yet his smile was gentle: "Sister Yi, you’re really candid. Any dictator in a centralized system would naturally be averse to sharing his glory and power with others. It’s human nature, no need to be ashamed."

First, he affirmed, then made a comforting turn: "But I truly believe you did your best; it’s just that sometimes your best isn’t enough. With Ruhan, you’re the only track, and all new anchors have to live in your shadow. This is not something that just funneling in traffic can solve."

"Exactly!"

Zhang Dayi’s eyes brightened as she finally found her justification.

"It’s not like I didn’t divert traffic to them or didn’t promote them. I even gave up prime-time spots sometimes, but of course, my fans are going to favor me. What can I do?"

"And that’s why we, Xingyu, are aiming to be a platform."

Su Huai shifted the conversation back smoothly, and at this point, making further inroads with her met virtually no resistance.

"An MCN organization absolutely cannot be completely centralized, otherwise, it becomes a company that relies on just one person, with everything hinging on that single point.

However, a good company also cannot lack a voice of sufficient authority to balance everyone’s interests and provide direction, making key decisions at critical moments.

That’s why my role in Xingyu is as a strategy advisor; the general manager handles day-to-day affairs, and I only need to communicate with each faction.

And you are those factions."

You and the conventional Feudal Lords are different because you don’t have managerial power over the company, yet you possess nearly complete autonomy in operating individually.

From a corporate governance perspective, this is a decentralized, yet not loose structure, because I have the ability to fully integrate you all, yet I don’t directly compete with you for profit..."

"Holy crap!"

Zhang Dayi exclaimed with excitement, flailing her arms and legs: "Su Huai, you’re a genius! Really, the more I think about it, the more awesome I find it!"

She wasn’t clueless, so she could see the excellence of this model.

Essentially, this was still a centralized system because Su Huai was the most powerful, his word carried absolute authority.

But he wasn’t a frontman, so he would never get into trouble; there was no risk of collapse or being ousted, and now being super, super, super young, the core of Xingyu would always be stable, possibly for a decade or more.

Su Huai controlled the traffic but didn’t consume it, offering great support for all the different factions within the company.

And once each faction had completely filled their respective tracks, when internal competition arose, he had enough authority and skill to control the intensity of competition to an appropriate level.

Su Huai’s authority was based on his thinking and ability, and Zhang Dayi felt genuine admiration for him, not because of his looks or money.

Also, due to the industry’s specificity, when Su Huai, the only central figure, couldn’t keep up with the times, it would be easy for him to step down. This transition wouldn’t cause much turbulence for the company, and the fans might not even notice—

After all, the ones projecting influence to the outside world were the various factions.

Thus, Su Huai’s decline wouldn’t directly harm the company much. He could still maintain connections with everyone; as long as the relationships were there, his value was always present.

Unless he messed around one day... Eh, it wouldn’t matter, because the factions would never implement any ridiculously stupid policies. Zhang Dayi herself would refuse. Isn’t autonomy meant to ensure this?

The Feudal Lords assured their interests with shareholding, guaranteed their mindset with autonomy, and secured the value of traffic with the right to tax...

Awesome, too awesome!

For a moment, Zhang Dayi even contemplated transforming Ruhan to emulate Xingyu’s model, but that thought only circled in her mind briefly before vanishing.

Ruhan didn’t have a Monster like Su Huai. Mr. Feng struggled with every step forward, and it was uncertain how long he could hold on.

To implement this model, the central figure must be exceptionally strong; average strength just wouldn’t do.

Even if Zhang Dayi herself wanted to do it, why would the influencers obey her? Why should they listen to her commands?

Zhang Dayi was acutely aware that she definitely lacked that capability.

She was determined and had immense talent for aesthetics and its dissemination, but when it came to macro strategies and business landscapes, she was too mediocre, often interacting with business elites of Jiang Fan’s level; she was well aware of her shortcomings.

But then... Jiang seemed not to be as great as Su Huai...

A new idea emerged in Zhang Dayi’s mind, and this time, it didn’t disappear but took deep root.

At that moment, when she looked back at Ruhan, she suddenly felt that Old Feng wasn’t appealing at all.

She still held a large shareholding in Ruhan, but now, in her eyes, even a whole Mr. Feng wasn’t as good as two of Su Huai’s fingers...

So, only one last question remained.

Clenching her teeth, she nervously asked, "Then, if I decide to join, how much shareholding are you willing to give me?"

Su Huai smiled.

It wasn’t a triumphant smile, nor a relieved one, just an ordinary and natural, gentle smile.

But instead of answering, he asked, "If I help maximize your value, how much salary are you willing to give me?"

Her expectations shattered, Zhang Dayi gnashed her teeth in anger.

This damn little brother!

Yet through this outburst, her rising ambition was quelled, her eagerness relieved, no longer expecting to reach the top all at once.

Yes, I’m amazing, but isn’t Su Huai extraordinary as well?

I might ask for less shareholding, but I must have this person!

Eventually, the negotiated figure was less than half of what Zhang Dayi originally hoped for, but she was content.
