Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"Xie Yuan, do you want to install a navigation system?"

“How much does navigation cost?”

"It's not expensive, 5,000 yuan."

"Fuck, 5,000 yuan is not expensive."

"Of course it's not expensive. You can buy a car worth over RMB 100,000, but you can't bear to install a navigation system for RMB 5,000."

"Go away, don't pretend."

Xie Yuan is a private car owner.

Xie Yuan likes to travel in his private car.

Although self-driving travel is a very exciting thing, because there is no navigation, Xie Yuan took the wrong road several times.

Xie Yuan wanted to make up his mind and spend a sum of money to buy a navigation system.

Just seeing the price of 5,000 yuan, Xie Yuan gave up.

5,000 yuan is not a small amount of money. Although it does not mean that Xie Yuan cannot afford it, the main reason is that he feels that the navigation is too expensive.

After rejecting the sales promotion from his car dealer friend, another friend of Xie Yuan called him: "Xie Yuan, how about going to Guilin tomorrow?"

"What a fool, let's go out of the province."

"What's this? It's not like it's never been seen before. Besides, Guilin's landscape is the best in the world. Don't you want to go?"

"I wanted to go, but you didn't remember the last time and you almost got lost."

"Don't worry, you won't go wrong this time. Just follow me. I bought a navigation system."

"I'll go ahead, darling, you're so rich, what brand is it?"

"Super Pear Brand."

"Super pear?"

Xie Yuan was stunned: "Is there this brand?"

"Hehe, don't you know this? Come to my place later and I will show you my high technology."

"OK."

Being moved by his friend's words, Xie Yuan immediately drove to his friend's place.

"Brother, didn't you just make a navigation? It's so mysterious?"

"Hey, where's your navigation?"

Seeing the car parked nearby, Xie Yuan opened the car door and took a look, only to find that his friend did not have a navigation installed.

"Damn it, you lied to me. I said you are so stingy that you can't bear to install a reversing camera and even install a navigation system."

"It's so rare, so strange. Go, go, get to the co-pilot, and I'll show you what I can do."

After driving Xie Yuan to the passenger seat, his friend took out a mobile phone.

“Super pear!!!”

Xie Yuan recognized this super pear at a glance.

"Did you buy it?"

"Nonsense, did you buy it?"

"How much?"

"5999."

"Nima...are you a rich man?"

"What a rich man? I bought it with gritted teeth."

After installing the Super Pear car bracket, my friend opened the Super Pear Amap and selected the destination: "Okay, we can go."

"Oh my God, is this a navigation?"

Xie Yuan was completely stunned when he saw the map displayed on Super Pear.

"No."

"Can I also have navigation on my mobile phone?"

"why not."

"Why isn't it on my phone?"

"Then you also need to see what kind of phone it is?"

"Uh... ok, how much does this cost?"

"You mean mobile phone or navigation?"

"I mean navigation."

“Navigation is free.”

"I understand."

Xie Yuan nodded.

In other words, my friend spent 5999 to buy a Super Pear, and at the same time, he also bought a navigation system.

If you buy a mobile phone alone, 5999 is a big number.

If you buy the navigation separately, 5999 is not a small number.

But if the price of mobile phone + navigation is 5999... then it is a very affordable price.

Not to mention, who wouldn’t want to buy a super pear?

It solved the problem of car navigation and bought such an awesome mobile phone. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

Almost instantly, Xie Yuan decided that he also wanted to buy a super pear.

certainly.

Like Xie Yuan, there are countless other private car owners, as well as full-time drivers.

Especially those who want to buy a navigation system themselves.

When they discovered that Super Pear can also realize navigation function, this navigation function is even more powerful than the original car navigation function. After all, original car navigation data is troublesome, but mobile phone navigation can be done in real time. That is, I bought a navigation system and a mobile phone. I would like to ask, as long as they are reasonably sane, what reason do they have for not buying Super Pears?

Then, you will find that... after the super pears have calmed down for a while, suddenly there is another super pear craze in the market.

There was no need to queue up for Super Pear at first, but now there is a long queue again.

As for why, they were all fired up by private car owners and full-time drivers.

You must know that these private car owners and full-time drivers are quite wealthy themselves.

Those who can afford a car can naturally afford a super pear.

If they didn't buy it before, they would be reluctant to part with it.

At this moment, wherever there is still the question of whether to give up or not, almost half of the car owners are already considering it.

"Here I go, Super Pear has released another killer app."

“This Amap navigation is really great.”

"For this navigation, I also want to buy a super pear."

All right.

In fact, the emergence of AutoNavi not only affects those car owners, it also affects those friends who do not have cars.

As for the reason.

Very simple.

Navigation is not only needed by car owners, but also by many ordinary people.

For example, when many people go traveling, they have to use navigation to choose a route.

When you usually take a car or a train, you can also use the navigation to see where you are and where you have passed along the way.

At this time, Xiao Jun, the founder of Amap, was extremely excited after getting the download numbers of the Super Pear App Mall.

He was determined to do it for free before, but he didn't expect it to be welcomed by so many people.

In a short period of time, the number of downloads of Amap has exceeded 1 million.

Such a data has also greatly increased the reputation of AutoNavi, and many venture capital investors have taken the initiative to contact them.

However, Xiao Jun has only had some contact with these venture capital investors for the time being, and what he is most excited about is Huanyu Technology.

For example, if there were no Huanyu Technology this time, their Amap would not even have a chance to become famous.

"Lin Fei, please formally contact Huanyu Technology now to see if they have such intention."

"yes."

A few days later.

Chen Yu is reading the company's internal project information.

This is Chen Yu’s consistent work style.

Although Chen Yu doesn't care much about specific affairs, he must be aware of all the company's affairs.

"AMAP."

Suddenly, Chen Yu saw the words Amap in the project information.

"Bamboo, who is in charge of this AMAP investment project?"

"Mr. Wu is following."

"Oh, how was the talk?"

"I don't know yet, but it seems that we have also done internal navigation projects before."

"When you said that, I remembered it and adjusted the information of our navigation project."

"yes."

A few minutes later, Chen Yu shook his head: "Let them stop this project and let Mr. Wu contact Amap."

After all, Huanyu Technology is not omnipotent.

Although there are also ideas for navigation, I really don’t know if it can be done well.

Chen Yu just took a look and found that the internal navigation project was very bad. The project had been established long ago, but there was no movement.

Instead, Chen Yu stopped the project directly.

Huanyu Technology doesn’t have to do everything.

If there are other companies that do better than him, Chen Yu would rather cooperate with them.

What's more, Super Pear's application mall is an open and diverse platform, and it also needs to cultivate more application software manufacturers.

"Mr. Xiao, the download data of your Amap map in our Super Pear App Mall is very good. In just a few days, the number of downloads has reached 1 million, and it also reached the most popular position that week. Congratulations. .”

"Mr. Wu, you're welcome. Our Amap map is also based on Super Pear. Without your company's Super Pear, I'm afraid many people still don't know about our Amap."

"I believe in your company's strength, and navigation applications will also be a necessity for users in the future. We at Huanyu Technology are very interested in your company."

"That's exactly why I'm here."

Xiao Jun was happy in his heart.

Sure enough, Huanyu Technology is interested in their Gaode.

"By the way, we, Mr. Chen, will be here soon."

"Mr. Chen?"

Xiao Jun was stunned: "Which Mr. Chen?"

"We are the chairman of Huanyu Technology."

"Oh my God...Mr. Wu, Mr. Chen is also interested in our Amap map?"

The size of Huanyu Technology is not only a hundred times that of their Gaode.

Xiao Jun has always looked up to Huanyu Technology.

When he was preparing to come to Huanyu Technology before, he thought he was being received by a manager from the Venture Capital Department of Huanyu Technology.

Unexpectedly, Wu Kai, the CEO of Super Lizi, came forward in person.

Unexpectedly, after Wu Kai, Chen Yu, chairman of Lianyu Technology, came out.

Even worse, Xiao Jun felt like he was a certain big shot.

But Xiao Jun knew.

He is not a big boss, he is just a little shrimp.

Xiao Xiami is still very hungry and is just about to beg the big guys for some food.

"You'll find out later if you talk to Mr. Chen."

"It's okay, Mr. Xiao, our Mr. Chen is very easy to talk to."

Giving Xiao Jun a smile, Xiao Jun felt relieved.

But even so, Xiao Jun was still nervous about meeting Chen Yu soon.

It's not that he doesn't want to see Chen Yu.

The main reason is that the rank difference between him and Chen Yu is too high.

It's just like an ordinary person who wants to meet a high-ranking government official. He feels a little nervous inside.

"Mr. Chen, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Xiao Jun, President of Amap."

"Hello, Mr. Xiao."

Chen Yu stretched out his right hand.

Xiao Jun held his hands with some excitement: "Mr. Chen, in front of you, what else can I call you?"

"Mr. Xiao is so humble. Your Amap navigation is very good. I downloaded it recently and I always use your Amap navigation when driving. It is very good and easy to use. I like it very much. .”

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

"You're welcome."

Seeing that Xiao Jun was a little nervous, Chen Yu did not directly talk about investment, but chatted with Xiao Jun about navigation.

"Mr. Xiao, Amap Navigation is indeed doing a good job. However, I do have a few suggestions?"

"Mr. Chen, tell me."

"The first suggestion is that I think we can add a road analysis function. For example, when leading to a certain place, we can inform users that there is congestion in a certain area, which can also allow users to avoid it in advance."

"Mr. Chen, your suggestion is very good."

"In addition, when changing lanes, in addition to reminding the user to change lanes, we can also highlight the prompts for lane changes on the display interface. For example, it used to be a normal navigation map, but once the lane changes, we can pop up a maximum A personalized lane change prompt interface. In this way, users can more clearly know which lane they are changing to."

"Mr. Chen, your suggestion is also very good."

Xiao Jun thought about it for a while. At first, he felt that such a suggestion made little sense.

Because there is a voice reminder.

Later, when I thought about it carefully, I found that it was not the case.

Because some lane changes are not just one lane, but sometimes there are several lanes ahead of the lane change.

Relying on voice prompts alone, you may still be prompted incorrectly if you are not careful.

It would be more reasonable if the voice is coupled with picture display.

Then, Chen Yu made some suggestions.

Say it's a suggestion.

In fact, they are all navigation experiences that Chen Yujiang used in his previous life.

Although Chen Yu is not an expert, he is naturally an expert after using it a lot.

What's more, the current navigation software seems to be very mature, but there is still a long way to go in terms of practicality.

In this way, Chen Yu's casual suggestions shocked Xiao Jun into confusion.

He thought he was a master of map navigation, but after chatting with Chen Yu for a while, he discovered that the man in front of him was a master of navigation.

Fortunately, Xiao Jun also has a few brushes.

After Chen Yu mentioned some suggestions, Xiao Jun also began to talk about the advantages of their Amap Navigation.

No matter what, I have to save some face.

This advantage lies in the fact that they have developed a more advanced map collection technology.

Relying on this technology, they can collect map data 10 times faster than ordinary map navigation companies.

"10 times?"

"Yes, I would say less than 10 times. In theory, it can even reach more than 100 times."

"Then that's weird."

Chen Yu asked: "Since Amap is so fast in collecting maps, why is it slower than other map navigation companies on the map?"

"Mr. Chen, it's like this. There are two reasons for this. One is that we entered this field late, and other companies have first-mover advantages. The other reason is that although we have this technology, it is also relatively Spend money, that’s why we look for investments.”

"Understood."

Chen Yu nodded, and then said: "I'm thinking that your technology won't be car mobile collection technology."

"Chen, Mr. Chen...you, how do you know?"

Chen Yu's answer completely shocked Xiao Jun.

Yes.

This technology of theirs relies on the movement of cars to collect maps.

They installed various cameras and sensors on the car sunroof... By the car constantly walking on various roads, they can complete the collection of information on the road map. In this way, it is much more efficient than the traditional manual walking collection method.

"Haha, I guessed it."

Chen Yu won't tell him that I'm just a loser.

It's just that Chen Yu said it was a guess, but Xiao Jun didn't believe that Chen Yu was guessing.

This also made Xiao Jun admire Huanyu Technology even more.

At the same time, he also thought in his heart.

If Huanyu Technology also engages in navigation, I am afraid it will be wiped out in minutes.

Before coming, Xiao Jun felt that he had some capital, but after talking to Chen Yu, Xiao Jun seemed a little less confident.

Whether it is understanding of navigation, strength or technology, Huanyu Technology is not weaker than them.

It can even be said to be higher than them to some extent.

Xiao Jun didn't even know if Chen Yu was still interested in their high virtues?

Even if you are interested, I am afraid that Huanyu Technology will quote a very low price after a while.

"Mr. Chen is so humble. Xiao Mou admires your understanding of the map and navigation."

"Don't say that. You were just talking nonsense. If you ask me to do navigation, I'll have a headache."

Chen Yu waved his hand: "Okay, we just talked about it, let's get down to business. I'm more interested in your Gaode map, and I also approve of Mr. Xiao, but since it's cooperation, let's talk it over. What do you think? What is your current valuation of Amap?"

"Valuation."

When it came to valuation, Xiao Jun didn't know what to say.

His original valuation of AutoNavi was 500 million.

Of course, 500 million is indeed a bit overestimated.

But after seeing their performance in the Super Pear App Mall, he felt that 500 million was not impossible.

But after being hit in front of Chen Yu, Xiao Jun was a little unable to say 500 million.

"400000000."

With some drumming in his heart, Xiao Jun quoted a price of 400 million.

"400 million?"

Chen Yu said nothing and looked at Xiao Jun.

This made Xiao Jun feel a little angry inside.

How much is Gaode worth? If you really want to say, it is worth 400 million.

However, although he was hit by Chen Yu, Xiao Jun was not a newbie in the workplace, but he asked: "Mr. Chen, what do you think?"

Although this was the answer, Xiao Jun was also prepared for Chen Yu's counteroffer.

Even if it is less than 400 million, we still have to stick to 300 million.

only.

Xiao Jun was prepared for Chen Yu's counteroffer, but he didn't want Chen Yu to act out of common sense and suddenly said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Xiao thinks that Gaode is worth 400 million. Wu Kai, please make arrangements, and we will meet him tomorrow." Mr. Xiao signed a formal investment contract."

"Ah, signing a contract?"

Xiao Jun was a little confused.

He had just been prepared for Huanyu Technology's counter-offer, but this was not the case.

"Mr. Xiao, are you unwilling?"

"No, it's not...Mr. Chen, you misunderstood."

Xiao Jun shook his head quickly: "I just didn't expect that Mr. Chen would agree so happily."

"Haha, are you thinking, will I pay you back?"

Chen Yu saw what Xiao Jun was thinking, and Xiao Jun also smiled awkwardly.

"Mr. Xiao, I think AutoNavi has a very promising future. If it weren't for the current market reasons, let alone a valuation of 400 million, I would be willing to invest even at 4 billion."

"Four billion?"

Xiao Jun secretly clicked his tongue.

Even the world's top navigation company is not worth this price.

However, Chen Yu was so optimistic about their virtues, so Xiao Jun was unwilling: "Mr. Chen, let's talk about the shares."

"OK."

Chen Yu nodded: "This time we invest, I hope Huanyu Technology will hold 30% of the shares."

According to Huanyu Technology’s previous investment ideas, Huanyu Technology generally held 51% of the shares.

But as the platform grows larger and the entire ecosystem becomes more and more complete, Huanyu Technology no longer has much idea about holding shares.

30% of the shares is neither too much nor too little.

Although it does not reach the level of controlling interest, it still has a heavy weight of speech.

The most important thing is that 30% of the shares can be used to advance, retreat or defend.

They can add more if needed.
