Chapter 1008 The Fourth Financing
This is another way of reflecting the traffic dividend of Douyin. National-level applications do not directly attract traffic, but still have a huge influence. Everyone in Douyin is ugc. Can you still do this when you see others making videos? Then I can do it! So after asking each other, they all got to know the peak visual effects.
And recently Chu Yuanxi saw a scene that Yang Jiangang should have dreamed of, that is evolution.
After the distribution of Douyin, more people have learned about the peak visual effects, some shopping guides and e-commerce companies have begun to make animations to promote their WeChat stores on Douyin. In other words, it has become a means for platform merchants such as WeMall and Youzan to make Douyin videos, and this type of platform merchants has a scientific name called WeChat merchants.
So immediately, all the micro-businesses were heard and their sense of smell was always sensitive, and new methods of prosperity should never fall behind.
This series of changes has formed a large-scale detonation. The peak is not particularly high in terms of the effect, but the impact is large. Especially for micro-businesses, not only long-tail traffic, but also the crowd is actually very scattered, with very thin tentacles, and they all work hard. We business has always been the hardest-working person in the circle of friends.
This objectively promotes the influence of peak visual effects. Although many people do not know where these animations come from because they do not use logos, they will definitely know that there is a platform that allows individual users to freely create animations. Otherwise, such a large number of animations will be different, where did they come from?
Therefore, Chu Yuanxi took the lead in expressing his affirmation and also sent a group reply. He quoted Jack Ma's famous saying for praising Yang Jiangang for having grown into a qualified entrepreneurial core:
The core backbone of any team must learn to win with the team without encouragement, recognition, help, understanding, tolerance, retreat, and pressure. Success has only one definition, which is to be responsible for the results. If you rely on the encouragement of others to shine, you can only be considered a light bulb at most. You must become a generator to influence others to shine, and then you are naturally the core.
In addition, Chu Yuanxi did not forget to remind that what Peak Vision was doing was subversive, had Internet thinking, and supported the valuation proposed by Yang Jiangang.
There are many rules in the world. Internet thinking is to promote new models to break old rules and drive users to eliminate existing profit-seekers and unreasonable rules in the world. The reason why Brother Dong had the courage to start a war with the e-commerce store and was regarded as a mortal enemy by the other party, forcibly asked the manufacturer to choose one of two because he looked down on the other party and had to increase the price of home appliances by 50% in order to make a profit.
This statement has a unique charm to investors, because this kind of person is usually called the Dragon Slaying Boy.
What happened to the Dragon Slaying Boy? Later, Brother Dong set his own rules and stolen accounts against the suppliers in the self-operated market, and created major profits for Dagoudong based on the interest on the account period. How did the Dogoudong do it back then become more serious?
This is the throne that the dragon-slaying boy himself has built, so of course there must be benefits. This future welfare is called the advantage brought by commercial status, which is particularly attractive to investors.
Even so, in this round, Chu Yuanxi had to support Yang Jiangang. It is very special now. If Baren does not support him, the 400 million yuan may not be able to be raised.
Therefore, based on the data and performance of the peak visual effects, especially the operational events and related video playbacks on Douyin, Chu Yuanxi, as a Baren Ceo, announced in a mass email that he was willing to follow up more than 100 million.
The "more than 100 million" in the email was very subtle. Yang Jiangang was relieved after seeing the reply, but he also wondered if Chu Yuanxi was so happy, his valuation was low?
He did not discuss this valuation with Chu Yuanxi and sent an email directly. He was waiting for Chu Yuanxi to criticize him after sending the email, and the prepared remarks may not be effective. Unexpectedly, Chu Yuanxi not only did not come over to criticize him, but instead directly sent an email to promise to pay for the money. What's the situation?
It took two more days before Chu Yuanxi told him what was going on.
The situation is: "Isn't this supposed to be like this? I said about your financing. What else do you discuss with me about my CFO? Of course, I listen to you. If the pricing is high, I can't raise funds, and if the pricing is low, I just depend on how you choose. I think this price is just right, and you are doing very well. So, I think you can find a full-time CFO alone, and when the B round of financing is completed, I will completely withdraw from the management of peak visual effects."
This reply made Yang Jiangang feel quite moved.
Then Chu Yuanxi asked him: "Why did you send the letter without venting with me? Are you quite confident?"
Yang Jiangang immediately took out his prepared rhetoric: "I was forced. Didn't you see Sony's British studio media molecule released "Dreams"?"
Chu Yuanxi has too many things to worry about recently, and the game circle hasn't paid much attention, especially these two days. Why did it take two days to deal with Yang Jiangang? Because I was watching the test of community control application, this test was a tool provided by Xiaokang using Baren, which is equivalent to the two companies working together, and the process is quite complicated. Fortunately, Chu Yuanxi has the right to transfer Xue Ming temporarily, and finally completed the limit test. After delivery, he was in the mood to chat with Yang Jiangang.
Of course, whether it will collapse in the end depends on how many cloud resources the relevant departments deploy. Even if there is no resource or loan, even the app made by God will collapse. What Chu Yuanxi can do is to ensure that the threads of the software backend will not be messed up when there is enough resources, and there will be no problems with the cloud data warehouse.
However, this "Dreams" sounds quite familiar, and Yang Jiangang said: "Sony started testing "Dreams" last year. It was officially launched two days ago. It means the same as us, and it is also ugc, but it is just to let players use the host to produce ugc."
"Console production? What to make?"
"Animation, games, and music are all OK."
Chu Yuanxi said intimately, "Damn it" and finally remembered why it became familiar. Zhao Jie's ultimate goal of making Gobi Internet is to point to UGC games. At that time, someone had already practiced the idea of UGC games. Foreign benchmarking companies were "Robrus" and domestic benchmarking companies were "Code Qiankun".
Robruce has become a new sandbox player with more than 100 million creators in a month, and has 5 million creators. The code is still developing, but his ambition is high and he is following a thorny physics engine route. Therefore, Chu Yuanxi and Zhao Jie repeatedly decided to use IP as their fist, specialize in the RPG segment, and focus on role-playing UGC game platform. This way, the competitive pressure is relatively small, and the advantages are obvious, and it is easy to succeed.
But under the light of Robruce, dreams should not be ignored, because they were also sorted into material by Zhao Jie and discussed with Chu Yuanxi. However, it is foreign and host, so there is no suspicion of a car collision with Gobi Network, so Chu Yuanxi did not take it to heart.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jie was dodged left and right, and Yang Jiangang was hit by someone.
But after thinking about it, Chu Yuanxi looked strange, "I said, they mainly do it for the game, right? Although I haven't watched it yet, I bet it is definitely not a professional animation. Why are you a professional animation afraid of it?"
Yang Jiangang thought to himself, why are you pretending to be confused? His father is Sony, how awesome, my father is you, and he was kicked out of the house!
The problem is that Chu Yuanxi also has his own affairs, so where can he care about him now? Xiaokang's financing should also be started. Xiaokang's B round will definitely not be as simple as Pu Mingyi's angel round, because he needs too much money, so he is also considering it.
In addition, on the 19th, the Emperor of Heaven introduced a series of measures, which were strongly related to the Ba people.
The most important thing is to introduce benefits for online games and e-sports. The most important thing is to give full play to the local management advantages of online games in terms of approval, open service windows, and improve approval efficiency. Secondly, the official has come forward to directly establish connections with overseas issuance platforms, promote overseas issuance business to settle in the local area, and even directly bring the issuance platform over.
Chu Yuanxi read the document twice from top to bottom, but he couldn't find anyone who supports the game company IPO, and he felt regretful. These two measures are undoubtedly beneficial to the game people. Whether it is the opening of the approval window or the strengthening of overseas distribution business, it is good, and it is very good for Baren's competitors. Of course, it is definitely useful for Baren. This cannot be denied, but it is definitely not of great use to support listing.
In addition, in this guidance document, he also saw that "increasing support for the theme works such as building a moderately prosperous society in all respects", which is very subtle. Isn't Chu Yuanxi named the convenience store this name?
Turning around the world, the world suddenly surging. First, Google suddenly cut off the whole family bucket of Panther, a pioneer of China's overseas travel, and more than 40 apps were removed from the shelves. This company, which started with a browser, was just suspended by Facebook last year because of advertising infusion, and it is also a daily subject that is particularly familiar with the self-media industry - fake volume. As a result, the stock price was greatly shorted, and its market value was lower than the cash reserves in the company's accounts, causing the founder to shout in his circle of friends that we have 5 billion yuan in deposits in our accounts--
Unexpectedly, I was raped by Google again this year and was removed from the shelves because of destructive advertising. However, among the apps that were removed from the shelves, some of them were only made by companies invested by Panther, and some did not have any advertisements at all.
Although the business of Panther has been deteriorating in recent years, it is reflected in the stock price, but its status in the world is quite high. Therefore, this is definitely a big event in the Guochao Internet entrepreneurship circle, and there are many different opinions for a while.
Some people say that Google has removed more than 600 apps in this wave. At first glance, it doesn’t really come to Panther, but in fact? Chu Yuanxi sneered.
In fact, it is very simple. In the context of Google's return to the Celestial Empire, whether it was Muli Mobile or the current panther, it was the role of an advertising alliance in the eyes of overseas publishers. They have changed from Google's friends to competitors. In the past, Guochao Internet companies needed to go overseas to advertise through them, but now Google needs to bring these advertising businesses, so what they will do is quite obvious.
Immediately afterwards, the country was in trouble again, and the Shenchuan laptop sued Dagoudong. The chairman posted several Weibo posts in succession, which were both reasonable and informative. Immediately afterwards, a large number of naval troops appeared on major domestic platforms. The content of the post was very magical, making people confused about which end it was.
They posted a post on the entire network that the quality of the notebooks of the Divine Boat is not good, so Dagoudong refused to check out the bill. The re-repair rate and after-sales application rate were 50% higher than the average. The essence is that it was from 2017 to give an example, and it has been like this for three consecutive years.
Chu Yuanxixin said that this was definitely sent by Brother Qiang Dong's mortal enemy to harm him, right? Otherwise, Dagoudong had known since 2017 that the computer quality of the Divine Ship was poor, but he was still very willing to sell it. The annual sales exceeded 2.5 billion, which was sold for 3 years. Until the end of 2019, the Divine Ship sold on Tmall was cheaper, so he refused to pay the bill?
You are called Shenma? You can outsource your business if you don’t know how to use self-media! Who is looking for a garbage slut army like Langtao? This is?
However, he understood Goudong's dilemma. What's different from other e-commerce companies is that it is too self-operated, but self-operated requires cash flow to support it. Originally, Goudong established rules to make suppliers pay long-term debts, but it was difficult to breathe when it was established. In this situation, cash flow must be even more tight, either not supplying goods or starting to ask for accounts.
Therefore, there is no need to ask, Goudong's cash flow must be tight. The partners who have worked with him for ten years have reached this point, and it must be because both parties are short of money.
In fact, it is definitely not only Dagodong who encounters difficulties in super companies, and Huangtuan is not much better. However, Huangtuan is not very decent in his work. Even Jiaotu, who is far away in Shudu, has been complaining on WeChat, and someone of his relatives has been caught.
The situation in the takeaway industry is that famous brands, especially good offline stores, can still do it. Those who can open the doors insist on opening the doors. Those who used to only do takeaways at the waist and tails have closed in large numbers, and the yellow group business has instantly been reduced by more than half.
In fact, the reason is very simple. What demands are suppressed during this period? It is the demand for eating big meals. The characteristics of big meals are high unit price and high profit margins. The emphasis is on eating freshly out of the pot when you go to the store, but in the past, those who were unwilling to order takeout and eat big meals can only surrender.
Therefore, during this special period of time, the existence of takeaway allows the big shop to still insist on opening the door, but almost no dine-in service is accepted and can only be packed and taken away.
But the shop is very sorry. It is acceptable for users to wear a piece of equipment and go out to the community to get a big meal. Take a takeaway of about 10 yuan? Is this a motorcycle to go up the mountain to chop firewood, or save masks for the country. Because a large number of customers disappeared.
So the yellow group started a fishing trip and rescued themselves. First, it launched an attractive plan, giving extremely low commissions to attract merchants who had not joined before, and let the takeaway delivery be delivered by the merchants. Then in just one week, the plan was immediately changed, and the commission was increased from 8% to 20%, and the delivery must be yellow riders. Shudu's hot pot alliance stopped at that time, and according to what Jiaotu said, was about to make trouble.
But what really shocked Chu Yuanxi today was the Berlin Film Festival. This time in Berlin, there were two movies called "Landau xx" participating. Landau was a great former Soviet physicist who named the atomic energy level after him. People who have studied physics at every university should have an impression.
However, these two movies actually have nothing to do with Landau. At first, the director wanted to shoot Landau's biography, but a Shenhao who likes philosophy invested a huge sum of money on the director, which made him a shocking decision to build a small society of 12,000 square meters in Ukraine to restore the former Soviet Union and upgrade the filming to a super-large real-life experience shooting, referred to as dau, which is the last three letters of Landau.
Then he found 400 regular actors from all over the world, and more than 10,000 extras to live in them. Starting from 2009, he filmed for three years, and then a long editing work.
Although the shooting in this way is likely to be the former Soviet Union in the minds of the participants' decades of brainwashing education, rather than the real ones, the way and method of shooting are really surprising. The key is that Chu Yuanxi is ignorant and has never heard of this before, and today he has opened his eyes.
As a result, while he was searching for information about the video in surprise, Elizabeth suddenly called abroad.
When Chu Yuanxi saw that it was a phone call instead of WeChat, he felt that something had happened? Sure enough, Elizabeth revealed a big news that shocked Chu Yuanxi on the spot - Grabye was about to unify Southeast Asia's mobile payments!
Mainly, Grabi recently received new strategic investments, with less than 1 billion US dollars, but both investors are from island countries, one is engaged in data centers and cloud services, and the other is the serious financial group Mitsubishi UF.
This time, the strategic investor pointed to mobile payment without any concealment. Mitsubishi UF has banks in several Southeast Asian countries, and is a big player among the big players. Another cloud service provider can make up for Grabi's mobile payment technology. Needless to ask, this kind of resource must have been found by Sun Dasheng for Grabi.
Moreover, Grabi's business is aimed at local life, including taxi orders, takeout, and now adding mobile payment is Gaode + Ele.me + Alipay. This is the rhythm of being a small Alibaba in Southeast Asia.
Considering that Grabi himself has obtained an electronic payment license and an electronic currency license in major Southeast Asian countries, it is a standard financial technology company with its own e-wallet business, isn’t it just Yu'ebao and Jie?
"They have similar businesses." Elizabeth said quickly, making people feel her anxiety. "Grabi has a subsidiary that does retail wealth management and loans, and even sells insurance for C-end users. Now there is no Yu'ebao."
"So, our strategy is changed to cooperate with Grabi?" Chu Yuanxi did not have the idea of having to go against one. It would be good if he could do his own mobile payment in Southeast Asia, but time would not wait for anyone. If he really couldn't do it, it would be okay to give up mobile payment. Anyway, Elizabeth hadn't really started doing it, so there was no problem of any grievances before.
