My Age of Investment

"What's next? What's Ganji.com's plan?"

Xia Jingxing glanced at Yang Haoyong, and Wang Wei, who was driving, also glanced at Yang Haoyong's face through the rearview mirror.

Yang Haoyong suppressed the smile on his face, and said solemnly: "It is impossible for Ganji.com to curl up in the capital forever.

We are currently making plans to consolidate Ganji.com's position in Beijing's classified information website market in the second half of the year.

Wait until next year, march into Shanghai, Yangcheng, and Pengcheng in one fell swoop, and seize most of the market share in first-tier cities. "

Xia Jingxing frowned, "Why wait until next year? Now all over the country, classified information websites are like a hundred flowers blooming. The later you enter, the more intense the resistance will be."

Yang Haoyong nodded, "I know that, but don't we have other options?

To expand, you need money, but Ganji.com currently only spends money, not making money.

We are running low on funds in our account and must save money. "

Xia Jingxing asked: "How much is left of the 400,000 US dollars invested in the angel round?"

For large-scale investments, venture capital institutions will send financial advisors to investee companies to monitor the flow of investment funds and prevent them from being used for other purposes.

For small angel investments like the US$400,000 invested in Ganji.com, financial advisors are basically not stationed.

After all, it costs money to hire an individual, and the investment is not much.

So Xia Jingxing basically only asked about the development direction and operation strategy of Ganji.com, and did not ask about money matters.

This also showed his trust in Yang Haoyong, which won him a lot of goodwill.

The main reason is that the money is still not enough, Xia Jingxing doesn't particularly care about it, it's just for show.

Hearing that Xia Jingxing finally asked about the money, Yang Haoyong said with a smile: "You, an investor, are too big-hearted. You invested 400,000 US dollars in us, and then you haven't asked about the money for half a year. Don't be afraid that we will abscond with the money. ?”

Xia Jingxing shrugged, "Let's just run away, just treat me as a wrong person."

Glancing at Yang Haoyong, he said with a smile, "But someone still has options on Facebook, which can be used to pay off the debt."

Yang Haoyong was all smiles,

"Let me just say, Darren, why are you so relieved of me? It turns out that you are plotting against me here."

The two were actually just joking, but it is true that Yang Haoyong owns nearly 2/10,000 of Facebook options, currently worth two million dollars.

Although Yang Haoyong has resigned, the options granted to him have not been withdrawn or repurchased.

Yang Haoyong himself knows that the 2/10,000 Facebook option is the strong backing for his entrepreneurial venture. Even if Ganji.com fails, it is enough to ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Therefore, when operating Ganji.com, he was not particularly aggressive. At the same time, he hugged Xia Jingxing, the golden thigh of an angel investor, tightly.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, hurry up and tell the truth." Xia Jingxing reprimanded with a smile.

Yang Haoyong smiled, "Even if you don't ask, I have to tell you."

After all, Yang Haoyong glanced at Wang Wei who was driving and looked at the rearview mirror from time to time.

To be honest, matters related to company privacy such as the funds in the Ganji online account are not suitable for speaking in front of outsiders.

Although Wang Wei's Tudou.com is currently cooperating with Ganji.com, and Tudou.com is also invested by Xia Jingxing, Tudou or Wang Wei is not a shareholder of Ganji.com.

It is normal for Yang Haoyong to have doubts in his heart.

Wang Wei is also a smart person, and said with a smile: "I'll be at the hotel soon, let's talk slowly when we get to the hotel!"

Xia Jingxing also realized something was wrong, nodded and said, "Okay! I've heard that the stinky tofu in Xingcheng is very famous, so I must go nearby to try it later."

"Jing Xing, you just came here today, Haoyong and I arrived yesterday, and we ate all the snacks in Star City."

Wang Wei realized that Xia Jingxing changed the topic to avoid embarrassment, so he followed the other party's words.

"You can go to Juzizhoutou to pay respects to the great man."

Yang Haoyong also joined the chat.

Therefore, the three of them did not continue to talk about business matters on the road, but talked about eating, drinking and having fun.

After arriving at the hotel, Xia Jingxing stayed in his room for a few minutes, then went out, walked to the corridor, and knocked on the door next door.

After opening the door, Wang Wei was surprised to see Xia Jingxing standing at the door of his room. He thought that the other party should go to Yang Haoyong's place first, but he came to find him first.

Xia Jingxing caught the astonishment in Wang Wei's eyes, this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Just now in the car, he was chatting with Yang Haoyong about Ganji.com all the way, and he left Wang Wei in the cold.

Mainly the other party is driving, so it is inconvenient to talk too much.

What happened later was that Yang Haoyong refused to disclose the company's financial situation. If he went to find Yang Haoyong first now, there would be no guarantee that Wang Wei would not have a small lump in his heart.

Both companies are invested by Envision Capital, so it is not good to favor one over the other.

Wang greeted with a smile: "Jing Xing, sit inside."

Xia Jingxing nodded with a smile, and walked into Wang Wei's room.

"What's the current status of Tudou?"

Xia Jingxing casually picked up a bottle of water from the table, unscrewed it and took a sip, then went to the chair by the window and sat down.

Wang Wei was waiting for Xia Jingxing to ask this question, and he held it in his heart for a long time.

Because Yang Haoyong was on the road, it was difficult to speak out, for fear of irritating this little brother.

"The registered users of Tudou exceeded 10 million last month, and it is expected to exceed 20 million by the end of the year."

Wang Wei spat and said, "Thanks to the ace program "Super Girl", we have started to upload some primary selection videos of the five major competition regions on Tudou.com since the competition started in February...

Jing Xing, you are in the United States, so you may not know how popular this show is.

Girls in their teens and teens, and aunts in their 60s and 70s are all paying attention to this grassroots talent show.

If you want to say that Hunan Satellite TV is really capable, the planning of this program is simply awesome.

In the five competition areas, 150,000 girls participated in the competition, advancing step by step, and the whole competition was full of climaxes and ups and downs.

Also, I don't know where the program team invited a female judge named Ke Yimin, that was really a poisonous tongue, told the female contestants to go away, don't sing!

Ha ha!

Now the comment section under Tudou.com's "Super Girl" program is full of scolding of Ke Yimin.

There are even many people who don't watch "Super Girl", but just because they can't get used to this vicious female judge, they even register a Tudou account, just to scold this woman in the comment area. "

Xia Jingxing nodded. In his previous life, he was abroad and didn't pay much attention to the program "Super Girl".

But after returning to China, he learned that this 2005 show has become the ceiling of singing talent shows, and it has not been surpassed after more than ten years.

Li Yuchun, Zhou Bichang, Zhang Liangying... this year's Super Girls have been popular all the time.

At that time, Wang Wei asked him to design a marketing plan for Tudou, aiming to break through one million users within three months.

He immediately thought of this ace show, which made Tudou spend a lot of money to win the copyright of Supergirl's online broadcast.

Supergirl actually started last year, but it didn’t become popular this year, and the domestic online video was only born this year, so the copyright for online broadcasting is not very expensive, and Tudou.com got it by luck.

Looking at it now, the effect is very good.

"Compared to TV, Tudou.com's "Super Girl" program can be watched anytime and anywhere, and you can also participate in comments. We even edited a video collection of the competition for the top 20 contestants. Fans like it very much."

Wang Wei spread his hands and said with a smile: "Nowadays domestic entertainment methods are relatively scarce, and online video is considered a new thing, and then came across such a national talent show, so a little spark was sparked.

In addition, "Super Girl" also contributed more than 10 million yuan in SP income for us, which can be regarded as earning back the cost of buying online copyrights, and even had a large surplus. "

"So much money was allocated to the online voting channel for the preliminary round?"

Xia Jingxing was a little surprised. He asked Wang Wei to get the SP cooperation right of "Super Girl" half a year ago.

The other party also approached Tianyu and Hunan Satellite TV, but these two were thieves, and they only gave the preliminary round, which was the SP cooperation right of the five major competition areas.

The audience watched the online video, voted online by sending text messages, and cooperated with the on-site judges to decide the promotion of the contestants.

The SMS operator will deduct 15% of the share, and distribute the remaining 85% of the SMS revenue to Tudou.com, and Tudou will distribute it with Hunan Satellite TV and Tianyu.

Wang Wei sighed, "What is this, the finals are a good opportunity to make a lot of money.

In a single game, SMS income exceeded RMB 15 million.

Mobile users send a text message for 1 yuan; Unicom users and PHS users send a text message for 0.5 yuan; Southern landline phones send a text message for 3 yuan.

In order to help the players they support advance, these people are also crazy. "

Xia Jingxing smiled lightly, isn't this the prototype of making a list of idols?
