You're forcing me to be reborn, right?

On the other end of the phone, Rebus had a signature smile on his face.

He was really confused by this young man.

But what Cheng Zhu said was really just nonsense because he was young?

Mr. Lei doesn’t think so!

The reason is very simple. After the other party said that they would spend money on a wholly-owned acquisition, they added: By the way, they can complete the international layout and kill two birds with one stone!

This made him realize that this little guy named Cheng Zhu couldn't... ． .．． ． Have you had this idea for a long time?

As a top domestic entrepreneur, Rebus knows very well that public opinion about so-called imitating or plagiarizing foreign countries is not a particularly fatal problem.

There are many factors at play here.

For example, you can’t use many of those foreign apps.

If the whole country doesn’t come out, you won’t be able to play at all.

In addition, such examples have long been common. Many domestic Internet giants copy whatever is popular abroad, and they made their fortunes by relying on this model.

Chinese people have long been accustomed to it!

At that time, even if everyone is sarcastic and says that this model is [Musical.Iy], this overseas APP

Those who take the lead cannot actually set a big pace.

Generally speaking, as long as Youqu can gain momentum and really explode, this is just a small hurdle.

This problem is difficult to solve. Others can argue about it for the rest of their lives, but it will not affect the development of Youqu in China.

The reason why Mr. Lei asked this question was that on the one hand, he was in a similar situation and was exhausted, and on the other hand, he also knew very well that Cheng Zhu was very good at marketing!

As the recognized [King of Marketing], he was very curious about how this new generation of [King of Marketing] would solve this crisis of public opinion.

It can be regarded as a kind of mutual discussion!

"Maybe I can get some inspiration from his ideas?" That's what Rebus thought at first.

He recently went through a research process to review some of the past marketing techniques.

Even he thinks this young man born in 1995 is pretty awesome.

Yet, what did I just hear?

Buy it one by one simply and crudely!

No matter what you copy or not, I bought it and we are one!

It doesn’t matter who is the father or the son, just rebel against Tiangang!

Once you sign the deed of betrayal, you will be my son from now on!

How can I put it this way, if the other party is really willing to sell, this is really the most f*ck-proof method.::

However, Cheng Zhu's "craziness" can actually be seen in this reply!

He's so young, he's so talkative!

You little [Youqu] is still in the cold start stage and can't even get into the top ten of the free list.

But looking at overseas [Musical.ly], its registered users and monthly active users are very high, which is not worse than the domestic short video brother [Bai Shou].

It can be said that this music short video APP has detonated the Western market!

Its overseas data is extremely intuitive. It is a frequent visitor to the App Store list and has always been at the top of the list.

Do you want to buy it?

Why did you, Youqu, buy it?

What qualifications do you have to buy it?

This is not a matter of whether you have money in your pocket. This is not in line with normal business logic and principles unless... ． .．． .You have the confidence to surpass it in a short time!

But in fact, even if a certain Mi mobile phone is willing to set Youqu as a pre-installed APP, it seems like a fantasy to surpass it by a large margin in just one or two years.

Mr. Lei knows very well: "It is too difficult to monetize short videos."

How could he not know that the reason why Penguin put Weishi on hold was because they had never found a breakthrough for short video monetization.

It’s hard to make money on this kind of platform!

For ordinary video platforms, you can also earn membership fees. For example, Mr. Lei invested in iQiyi himself.

But short videos are different.

“It’s difficult to monetize, and there’s no particularly suitable way to make money, so where will the money come from to acquire Musical.Iy?” he thought to himself.

But Cheng Zhu, on the other hand, is planning to use this to open up overseas markets and complete his international layout. "You can't just make money through rounds of financing, right?" Rebus thought to himself.

If there is no clear profit model, major venture capital investors are not fools.

What's more, today's short video industry is not optimistic to begin with.

At this moment, he felt more and more that Cheng Zhu had a complete set of ideas in his mind.

Whether it can work or not will definitely depend on a series of operations in the future.

"But it's better to have ideas than no ideas," Rebus thought to himself.

He has confidence in him because he really feels that Youqu is better than Musical.Iy.

If it is Musical. If Iy comes to him for investment, he will probably not invest.

On the phone, Mr. Lei didn’t ask any questions, he just said: “You know even if we acquire Musical.ly now?

, does the minimum guarantee also cost about 500 million US dollars? "

Cheng Zhu said directly: "I know, and in one or two years, this number will definitely be higher."

"Mr. Cheng is still very confident?" he asked.

"Yes." Cheng Zhu replied.

"Can you tell me why?" Rebus said in Mandarin with his own accent.

"Because no matter how well Musical.ly develops, its future acquisition price will definitely be within 1 billion US dollars. The reason is very simple. So far, the monetization of short video traffic has been a difficult problem, and it has not been solved either." Cheng Zhu replied.

"So, do you think Youqu can do it?" Lei asked.

"I can't guarantee it completely. I can only say that I have some ideas in my mind, and I will try them step by step in the future.

At the latest, it will start to move forward in the middle of next year." Cheng Zhu said modestly.

Lei Jun originally planned to talk to him for only about ten minutes, and then finalize a series of things.

His schedule today was very full and very busy.

But in the end, he learned about it for nearly half an hour.

He was not sure whether the monetization models listed by Cheng Zhu later would work.

Looking at the world, the short video industry is currently considered an emerging industry. Everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones, but he thinks they are all quite thoughtful.

At the end of the call, Lei Jun directly stated that he was willing to provide pre-installation support for Youqu.

However, he also mentioned one point.

That is, [Block Hand] will also continue to enjoy this treatment.

Cheng Zhu fell into a short silence after hearing this, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay!"

His voice was very crisp and calm.

He knew very well that this meant that in the future, the direct competition between the two apps would be more intense! Especially among these mobile phone customers!

Because as soon as you buy a new phone, it will be installed with two short video apps. Although the two take different routes, they are both short video platforms after all.

'In the end, who can retain users better, then... ... depends on their own abilities! "Cheng Zhu stood in front of the French window, overlooking everything, thinking in his heart.

On the other side, [PaiPai] headquarters.

Shang Qi sat on the tea table in Zhao Qing's office, and Wen Ting was making tea for the two of them.

It is already the end of the year, and it has been a while since [PaiPai] was taken off the shelves.

The slightly stiff relationship between the three people has also been eased recently.

The reason is very simple. The daily active user data of [PaiPai] has finally... equaled to that before it was blocked!

Congratulations, congratulations Ah!

Zhao Qing and Shang Qi were full of ambitions in the past few months, thinking of spending a lot of money to double the number of daily active users!

As a result, after working so hard, they only barely recovered from the serious damage.

The "self-healing" has just ended, and it's the end of the year, and it's time to look forward to the next year.

Zhao Qing really thinks Shang Qi is mentally ill.

Why mess with Cheng Zhu when there are so many people to mess with!

The two brothers have some grudges against each other.

During this period, they frequently went to Shang Qi invited several young models to the club and arranged Zhao Qing clearly. He arranged two for him every night, which finally reheated the relationship between the two brothers.

At this moment, the two gathered together, and the ambitions that had been extinguished were rekindled, and they began to look forward to 2016!

Wen Ting, who had a gentle temperament, sat there and refilled the tea cups for the two.

She was used to such occasions where middle-aged men sat together and boasted.

This is the nature of men.

Poor men are like this, and so are rich men.

She knew nothing about how to develop short video APPs in a big way.

This financial bitch had no business ability and was purely on her own.

She listened to them talking now, but it went in one ear and out the other.

Until... Shang Qi mentioned Youqu!

When Wen Ting heard about this APP developed by her ex-husband and his team, it was like a keyword was triggered.

Her ears immediately became more sensitive, for fear of missing any details.

"Youqu is going to start financing recently. "Shang Qi put down the teacup and said to Zhao Qing.

This matter is not a secret in their capital circle.

Some companies will send financing invitations to their favorite venture capital or large enterprises before starting financing.

Shang Qi's Tianyun Capital is naturally not qualified to do so, and it would be strange if Cheng Zhu would send them an invitation.

But with his power in the circle, it is still easy to get some information.

Zhao Qing, the founder of [PaiPai], immediately became very alert after hearing this.

"Will the financing of Youqu... go smoothly?" he asked.

"What do you think?" Shang Qi answered unhappily.

He tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said, "Let me tell you this, Cheng Zhu's old partner when he was doing Youcha, that is, Pulin Capital, has received a financing invitation. "

"And Hongshan, Hongshan Capital has also received it!"

Zhao Qing was very envious after hearing this.

"Compared with Hongshan and Pulin, Shang Qi's Tianyun is nothing! "He roared in his heart.

Especially Hongshan Capital, which is one of the top venture capitals in China and often ranks first in the venture capital rankings!

Zhao Qing felt that if he could get Hongshan's resources, [Paipai] would have taken off long ago!

"Damn, the more I think about it, the more envious I am!" He cursed in his heart.

However, Shang Qi's next words made Zhao Qing and Wen Ting stunned.

Shang Qi narrowed his eyes and his tone was extremely complicated.

"I heard that Hongshan originally wanted to lead the investment in this round of financing. "

"But Cheng Zhu refused!"

Zhao Qing: "What! ?"
