What’s Wrong With Me Being a Rich Man? - Chapter 252

Chapter 252 What is the evening

Liu Jiankai slipped back to Today’s Capital from WeChat. When he was on the way, he contacted Mr. Xu and expressed his desire to convene an analysis meeting on the WeChat project.

When Xu Xin returned to the company, although she was the only one in the conference room, she had just sat down.

“How is that stubborn?”

Xu Xin asked while sitting, guessing that there was a definite progress, otherwise there would not have been such a hurry.

“1.05 million, WeChat’s user scale has reached 1.05 million as of today’s September 15th!”

Liu Jiankai officially released data from WeChat company.

When hearing such numbers in the conference room, he immediately looked similar, surprised, stunned and suspicious.

Regarding Baixiaosheng’s newly incubated project, this is a small branch in today’s capital. Although I heard some movement before, it was specifically handed over to Liu Jiankai to track it. At this moment, I suddenly heard the number of more than one million users…

The idea of ​​whether it is true or false naturally appears in everyone’s mind.

Xu Xin narrowed her eyes and asked about the source of this data.

Liu Jiankai did not hide it, nor did he feel that the act of stealing a house is shameful, but instead described the process quite proudly.

“Will this number be filled with water?” Wen Baoma, a partner of Capital Today, attended the meeting and said with doubts, “Will that technical deputy director do this on purpose? Could it be Jiang Gan stealing the book?”

Liu Jiankai said with certainty: “I launched a raid, not to mention 100% accurate, I personally think I am 90% sure.”

Xu Xin was unwilling to worry about this issue at this time: “First assume that this number is true, and then look for him to verify it. In addition, WeChat has actually obtained a lot of funds from Kestrel Capital.”

“The name of Kestrel Capital is unknown… Forget it, Mr. Liu, you continue.” Wen Baoma shook his head, knowing the current focus.

Liu Jiankai stood up, took a few steps and took the whiteboard, first wrote the number 1.05 million on it, and then wrote the word “East China”.

He introduced the situation and said: “I know that Mr. Yu’s market entry into WeChat is to start from the campus he is familiar with. On the one hand, he has experience, and on the other hand, he is to avoid the attention of penguins. So, I’ve been doing this a few days ago this month I took people to the campus. Although the size of WeChat’s users was not evaluated, I also gained some practical results. “

“WeChat company may be limited by its team, or it may have its own considerations. This time it is mainly engaged in the East China region. Well, several northern cities such as Beijing may also make efforts, but the East China region has the most investment. ”

“In the past half month, the number of users increased by about 570,000 to 600,000, should all come from campus. Putting aside the 400,000 that was coldly launched in the previous two months, this 600,000 is very representative.”

“The WeChat companies in the East China region are located in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the total number of college students is approximately 3.51 million.”

Liu Jiankai wrote on the whiteboard that the number of college students in three places was 51/180/120, totaling 3.51 million.

Then, he wrote the user numbers of WeChat in September as numerator on top of 3.51 million, and then calculated the ratio, and the result was 17%.

Finally, Liu Jiankai emphasized the writing of the 17% penetration time-15 days.

600,000, 17%, 15 days.

Liu Jiankai pointed to the numbers listed on the whiteboard and continued, “The denominator’s 3.51 million must be inaccurate. I believe that WeChat may not be able to count extremely accurate numbers, but it is a relatively useful evaluation value. It can be expanded to 4 million, resulting in a penetration ratio of 15%, and the above figure of 600,000 can be reduced.”

“In this way, the proportion of WeChat’s penetration of college students in a certain area within 15 days is approximately 13%-17%, which does not affect my conclusion.”

“My conclusion is that WeChat has shown extremely amazing vitality!”

Wen Baoma heard this and gave a limited approval, adding a preview: “Yes, WeChat showed amazing vitality when it didn’t meet the penguin.”

There is no doubt that penguins are the mountains ahead.

Faced with this tactful opposition, Liu Jiankai nodded and said, “Yes, but judging from the current situation, WeChat’s amazing vitality should win respect. At least, at this stage when Penguin does not have full transformation, I don’t think WeChat company There is no chance of survival.”

Wen Baoma frowned and said, “I despise Penguin too much. The scale of more than 1 million is certainly a stunning achievement for a newly established company, but for Penguin, there is not much difference between 10,000 and 1 million.”

Liu Jiankai asked back, “What about 3 million? WeChat’s goal at the end of next month is 3 million. Mr. Wen, do you think the number 3 million is different for Penguin?”

Wen Baoma pondered without saying a word.

Liu Jiankai continued: “In addition, I don’t think WeChat company is fully open. At least, Bai Xiaosheng’s extremely active workplace users have not been imported, Yu Xing’s personal Weibo active fans have not been promoted, and WeChat company has also There is no large-scale promotion on the Internet. If 3 million is not taken seriously by Penguin, then what about 5 million?”

He has been tracking the WeChat project line. As soon as he got clear data today, the previous blur was immediately exposed, and thus he quickly pieced together WeChat’s plan for market competition.

It is extremely obvious that Bai Xiaosheng’s workplace user, Yu Xing’s Weibo account, Internet promotion that takes effect after spending money, and Penguin public opinion that has not been said but can definitely be used.

Once these actions can be added together, 5 million is not an out of reach.

Even giants like Penguin cannot underestimate the rapid development of competitive software with 5 million users.

Since we cannot be despised, this means huge benefits.

Wen Baoma did not refute it for the sake of refuting. At this time, he nodded slightly and agreed: “If we can quickly achieve 5 million users, it is not that we will not have the opportunity to compete, although the probability of winning the competition is still small.”

When Xu Xin heard this, she thought, “Penguin is now having a fight with 360. Judging from the storm that it was criticized by Computer World last time, user reputation may be a huge help.”

Another vice president, Sun Yewei, couldn’t help but exclaim: “Can you really ‘water can carry a boat and overturn it’?”

There was silence in the conference room, and no one could easily make such a judgment.

Everyone either lowered their heads and thought, or stared at the numbers on the whiteboard, carefully pondering the potential of the WeChat project.

Liu Jiankai thinks that Mr. Yu may also have the intention to make explosive effects on data confidentiality. If WeChat can achieve 3 million next month, I am afraid that everyone will not even hesitate.

Wen Baoma took a few sips of tea and said slowly: “I feel that the key to success or failure of WeChat lies in when the penguin noticed it.”

Xu Xin shook her head and disagreed with this statement: “As a result, if we invest, if the penguin pays attention, it will die immediately. What’s the point? The penguin will definitely notice it, so, WeChat noticed it on Penguin What trends will be in the future are urgently needed to think about.”

Wen Baoma has to admit that this statement is more logical.

He corrected his thoughts and revised: “Then, when will Penguin pay attention and compete, it is likely to determine the success or failure of the WeChat project. If WeChat can be allowed to develop like this for half a year, Penguin will probably be in trouble.”

Liu Jiankai said: “This is probably a very luxurious idea.”

Although there was no investment, the people in the conference room felt a sense of similar regret when they heard this sentence.

If we can really let WeChat run away for another half a year, it would be great.

However, this is actually uncontrollable, and depends on Penguin’s own vigilance and observation of the market. At the same time, there is also a paradox. If WeChat wants to maintain high growth, it will inevitably increase its promotion in the market in the future, and it will naturally float. Out of the water.

Wen Baoma couldn’t help but express his true feelings: “When I thought about the project in my hand, I wanted to jump in my temple. If it was a competition for instant messaging… Well, my head had already begun It hurts.”

“WeChat can sneak away, make excellent products, and get funds. The problem is, Penguin can do everything, just follow it, and it can make more powerful synchronous advancement. This is the most uncomfortable thing .” Vice President Sun Yewei even lamented a little as he said this.

Liu Jiankai could not deny this at all and only emphasized: “So, high risk and high reward.”

With instant data transparency, things are completely spread out.

Capital abhors risks and pursues profits, but the latter must be weighed against the former.

Xu Xin held her finger on the table, thought quietly for a while, and suddenly said, “Yu Xing obviously knows this. How did he consider competing with Penguin when he is doing a project like WeChat with a high probability of failure? ”

She looked at Liu Jiankai, who had a better relationship with Yu Xing. Liu Jiankai has repeatedly thought about this question, but now facing the inquiry, he still said hesitantly and cautiously: “He must have thought about it, but I feel that Mr. Yu sometimes has some idealistic temperament.”

“What is idealistic temperament?” Wen Baoma smiled, “When doing business, you can be a real sword and a gun, what is idealistic temperament?”

Liu Jiankai was silent for a while and replied, “It’s just… it’s said it will fail, so I have to see how it failed.”

Wen Baoma was speechless.

Xu Xin thought about Yu Xing’s behavior since he met him, and said that as a normal person, should he respect himself more, should he communicate with him in advance, and should he offend his husband again. Come to the door…

She said slowly, “Contact Yu Xing to meet and chat.”

The meeting room was quiet, which was a tendency decision.

Liu Jiankai was cheered up. In the final analysis, today’s capital still depends on Mr. Xu’s decision.

Xu Xin looked around everyone’s eyes and gave an evaluation of Yu Xing: “Just like WeChat’s performance of resisting the pressure from scratch, I read that Yu Xing is right. He is worthy of being a pioneering spirit. Entrepreneurs.”

Liu Jiankai pursed his lips tightly, and the words of Mr. Xu’s first sentence “stubbornness” were still heard.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

“Mr. Liu, contact Yu Xing, I want to see him as soon as possible.” Xu Xin still handed over the task to Liu Jiankai.

Liu Jiankai responded seriously and became a little excited inexplicably.

This is not only that today’s capital may invest in WeChat, but also means that there are really companies that want to challenge Penguin’s strongest product head-on.

If you take a step back, even if you lose, you may be recorded in the textbook.

Liu Jiankai ended the meeting and did not return to his office. He went directly to the boss’s office and called Yu Xing.

Xu Xin said that it was assigned a task, but in fact she was listening from the side, um… She also left room for communication if she didn’t call herself.

The phone was connected soon.

“Hey, Mr. Liu.” Yu Xing’s voice seemed lazy.

“Mr. Yu, congratulations, WeChat is developing so fast!” Liu Jiankai showed a smiling face from afar when he came up.

“Hi, Mr. Liu, there are many ways to steal our data.” Yu Xing pointed out what happened today.

“What is it called stealing?” Liu Jiankai explained, “I am visiting and visiting, for fear that the WeChat company will lack financial support. So, after knowing the size of WeChat’s user base this time, I immediately chatted with Mr. Xu. She also attaches great importance to it. I hope everyone can do it. Can meet and talk as soon as possible.”

Yu Xing said “Yes” and suddenly shouted, “Mr. Xu, speak!”

This shout was particularly unexpected!

Xu Xin and Liu Jiankai looked at each other awkwardly, and said directly: “Mr. Yu, cough, this, let’s talk to each other.”

“What are you talking about? We are not short of money now.” Yu Xing said, “We have money in the accounts of WeChat companies, but we don’t have financing needs. We need to see how much WeChat can do before looking for money from the outside world. I appreciate your kindness. Haha, there is no need to meet, chat back.”

Xu Xin said with a smile on her face, “Mr. Yu, don’t need that…”

Beep beep beep, the phone has hung up.

Xu Xin’s secretary couldn’t help but say, “This Yu Xing, why did he hang up Mr. Xu’s phone number!”

Xu Xin said without a fluctuation: “It’s not my phone, it’s Liu Jiankai’s.”

Liu Jiankai nodded and explained, “Mr. Yu is just simple and direct. This actually reduces everyone’s communication costs and reduces meaningless greetings.”

It’s like not being a stubborn person, but an entrepreneur with a pioneering spirit.

This is not impolite, but a decisive practitioner of value.

“Competition for WeChat companies is bound to require funds.” Xu Xin didn’t bother to be angry and thought, “This kind of investment that wants to compete with Penguin cannot be just us. Contact IDG and Qiming Venture Capital, and we three companies will find him together. .”

Liu Jiankai agreed, and the way to contact the other two companies was very simple.

1.05 million.

In one sentence, Zhang Suyang of IDG and Hu Xubo of Qiming Venture Capital took the plane to Shencheng overnight.

It was only the second day that Yu Xing, who had previously refused to meet, had to meet Bai Xiaosheng’s three institutional shareholders.

No, no, this group of people are waiting downstairs…

The group went straight to the conference room on the sixth floor.

Yu Xing was actually a little surprised that they came here quickly.

Liu Jiankai used his own data analysis to explain everyone’s optimism about WeChat.

After listening to his analysis, Yu Xing was silent for a few seconds and said, “You guys who don’t work in the company understand the company.”

Liu Jiankai: “Uh…”

“We have not refined the penetration ratio and other things, but are just promoting the market step by step. The campus will not be the inherent position of WeChat and will spread rapidly in the next few months.” Yu Xing said, “In fact, WeChat’s communication is like this. The tool has its own fission effect. Some of our users are parents from college students. Well, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Xu, Mr. Hu, it’s not that I want to refuse, but that WeChat company plans to consider financing after a while. “

His statement has not changed, and WeChat is no longer so anxious now.

Even if Penguin immediately pays attention to WeChat’s dynamics, it will have to develop it for a while before it can compete. WeChat has such a short period of gaps. Of course, posture is also a necessary means for bargaining.

Zhang Suyang of IDG heard this and said, “Mr. Yu, I have to admit that there is a problem with my previous opinion. WeChat gave me an extremely surprised start, but WeChat will inevitably compete with Penguin, instead of getting funds in the future. , it’s better to replenish ammunition now.”

Yu Xing shook his head and smiled, “Mr. Zhang, our technical team is under pressure, and the steady growth of users is also a gradual process of running-in for our team. Now it is useless to get a lot of money. Suddenly, it is launched. This is actually not conducive to our efforts. Penguin’s rush to start, let’s talk about the users who are low-key to accumulate.”

This also makes sense.

However, the three institutions have already unified their opinions and are willing to pursue huge benefits with risks.

IDG’s Zhang Suyang advised him, Yu Xing said, “No, no hurry.” Qiming Venture Capital’s Hu Xubo advised him, Yu Xing said, “I have plans.” Today’s Xu Xin from Capital has another bitter taste, but Yu Xing still It is “Thank you for your kindness and progress steadily.”

Liu Jiankai in the conference room looked at this scene and suddenly felt a strong sense of déjà. When Mr. Yu spoke from Bai Xiaosheng about the new hatching, the atmosphere in the conference room took a sharp turn for the worse…

At that time, General Zhang advised him left and General Hu advised him right, but it was not Mr. Xu who was very dedicated to him, but himself…

In the end, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Hu didn’t even eat food, and Mr. Zhang also asked the institution to invest in Bai Xiaosheng’s money for special funds…

Now that I’m rushing to ask Mr. Yu to collect the money, it’s really…

The offense and defense are changing, what’s the day tonight!
