Rebirth: War on the Honest

"The infringement case involving Paradise Technology has come to an end, and it may face a huge compensation of more than 6 million yuan!"

This is the news released by the media as soon as possible.

"Chalk Education and Paradise Technology both shook hands and reached a settlement, laid out offline plans, and set sail again with multi-point linkage!"

This is official promotional news from Chalk.

“How do you evaluate the final settlement of the infringement case between Paradise Technology and Chalk Education?”

On the Zhihu hot list, the answer with the fastest rise is a well-known entrepreneur representative who personally participated in the mediation scene.

"Thank you for the invitation.

The entire mediation process of the case was made public, allowing us to truly feel the power of making a fortune silently. If I had not personally witnessed the cross-examination session of both parties in the mediation court, outsiders watching the news would not realize the terrifying ability of the online education industry to attract money.

The high unit price often means that the number of students is limited, but when paired with an online learning platform with huge traffic, recruiting students nationwide directly creates a money-attracting monster, and the return on investment is terrifyingly high.

I can understand why Qin Haosen broke up and quit the cooperation at the most prosperous moment with the most prosperous income, because no one will be unmoved by this perfect business model and huge profits. He wants to be the first emperor to expand the territory, not parasitize others.

vassal king.

The wind is blowing, and I can say with certainty that after this battle, the online education industry will definitely become a battleground for military strategists, and a vast blue ocean is waiting for everyone to explore."

This answer was quickly pushed to the top of the headlines, and various media and business circles reposted it one after another. The keen capital market also realized this.

Soon, someone came to the door.

"Boss, a friend from IDG Capital outside the door came to discuss financing and asked if we were interested."

Huang Zheng was very excited. He wanted to just take the job and leave. He saw that the company was developing better and better.

In 2012, the saying that online education was the first year has become a consensus in the industry, and venture capital investors have extended an olive branch to education companies.

"Mr. Gu started from scratch at such a young age and established such a large company. He has a unique vision in the field. I have to say that he is young and promising."

In the conference room, Wen Qingshan of IDG Capital and his team shook hands with the executives of Paradise Technology one by one and praised Gu Yun.

Gu Yun smiled and nodded, and after everyone exchanged greetings, they started to get down to business.

"I wonder if Mr. Gu has any plans to raise funds? The online education industry has obvious online and offline linkages. We at IDG Capital are very optimistic about Paradise Technology's business lines and products."

Wen Qingshan took a sip of tea and got straight to the point.

The management of Paradise Technology exchanged glances with each other and realized that they were indeed short of money at this time.

Even though the online education industry is recognized as a cash flow cow, Paradise Technology does not have much cash on hand after going through expenses such as buying a two-story office building, transforming into new businesses, and paying high compensation.

But whether or not to accept financing depends entirely on Gu Yun’s ideas.

After all, once external capital enters the market, it is his shares that will be diluted the most.

"Brother Wen, how should I put it? I think the business model of online education should be polished and become more mature, rather than moving forward in a drastic way."

"Besides, our park technology has good cash flow and is not short of money."

Gu Yun's answer was very tactful.

"Mr. Gu, I know you may not be short of money, but financing can help a startup company in many ways. Start-up companies can enjoy the positive impact of IDG Capital's brand, connections, resources, management, finance and other aspects."

Wen Qingshan is very confident. There are only a handful of companies that can refuse them in his career.

As the first investment fund to enter the Chinese market, IDG Capital not only provides funds to entrepreneurs, but also provides a series of value-added services and support after investment.

In recent years, IDG Capital has made early plans to develop Internet companies and invested in many top listed companies.

"Brother Wen, I understand all this, but when Paradise Technology has come to this day, I actually have the original intention."

This was the first time in Gu Yun's life that he had a direct conversation with an angel investor with free wealth. He couldn't help but become serious and chose his words very carefully.

"Business organizations are profit-seeking, but the nature of education cannot be profit-seeking. I don't want education to become a slave of capital. In fact, when Xiaole Learning was first created, it was to let more people take the initiative to share knowledge for free.

, not to mention Xiaoyuan Search Questions, which gives rural children who want to study on their own an upward channel."

Wen Qingshan's expression gradually became serious, and he listened more and more seriously.

"Mr. Gu said it well, only by not forgetting the original intention can the company go further. Can we find the intersection between the two?"

"Brother Wen, if you are interested, Xiaojuishu, a subsidiary of Paradise Technology, can accept financing."

Gu Yun declined again. After rebirth, he did not need large amounts of cash to dilute his shares, nor did he need venture capital to guide him on how to develop the company. As long as laymen did not blindly direct based on their status as shareholders, Paradise Technology would always be on the right track.

Wen Qingshan shook his head, obviously not interested in content communities like Xiaojushu.

A group of people share their lives and have small fights. What is the profit model?

Far from the other two flagships, its ability to attract money is obvious.

Wen Qingshan was able to maintain his original intention of educational fairness while also relying on head traffic to make money. Wen Qingshan got to know the younger generation of entrepreneurs again, and Gu Yun left a deep impression on him.

"Then come here, Mr. Gu, let's have a good chat when you have time."

Wen Qingshan stood up and shook hands with Gu Yun to say goodbye.

"Okay, Brother Wen, keep in touch."

The group arrived at the gate of the software park, where IDG's Toyota Alpha had been waiting for a long time.

Before getting in the car, Wen Qingshan suddenly turned around and asked Gu Yun curiously: "Mr. Gu, how old are you this year?"

"Nineteen years old, I'm a freshman this year."

Gu Yun answered truthfully.

"I really don't know what kind of family can cultivate a young hero like Mr. Gu." Wen Qingshan looked at Gu Yun and said with a smile.

"My daughter is as old as you, and she still plays in the stock market every day, but Mr. Gu is already thinking about the education of a generation and the future of the country."

Sighing the gap between the two, Wen Qingshan shook his head and left Paradise Technology.

In the business car, Wen Qingshan's assistant Li Xin took out a notebook and looked at the schedule.

"Boss, do you want to continue to the next store?"

Wen Qingshan sank into the soft seat and stared at his mobile phone in a daze. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"Well, go ahead."

"Xinxin, please contact the other party's assistant and get Gu Yun's WeChat account from Paradise Technology. His ideas are quite good. Please ask him to chat more in the future."

Wen Qingshan's heart moved and he made a phone call.

"What are you doing, baby?"

"Look at the market."

"Dad met a very outstanding young man today, but he feels that he is still too small."

Wen Qingshan's face turned red as he recalled how he raised his daughter.

"...?"

As usual, the other party had nothing to say to him.

"Starting tomorrow, stop playing around in the stock market. Dad invested five million. You can use it whether you start a business or invest."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll use it to have fun this time?"

In the past, apart from daily expenses, Wen Qingshan didn't give much money, and only allowed his daughter to use it in the stock market, but this time it was a surprise to him.

“If you don’t try to master more than you know, you will never grow.”

Wen Qingshan explained.

After a few more pleasantries, the other party hung up the phone.
