Reborn, I am a trendsetter
Chapter five hundred and fortieth IX: Making money again
In a newly renovated office with a simple style, Wei Tao is sitting on a sofa chair in the corner outside the round table. From this position, he can clearly see the slides on the projection screen. The PPT is made by professionals. The content is concise and clear, and some professional terms are included.
, he can understand it now.
In terms of mobile phones, there are definitely many difficulties. Rebus and his team are also good enough. Just like the pattern of the entire Xiaomi Technology in Wei Tao's memory, they are a little ahead of schedule, but the time point is not ahead of schedule. Within a few months, from
From the team to the creativity to the product, there is no deviation at all.
The three cores of system, software, and physical objects work step by step and complement each other to break through the surface.
Looking at the technical team members with very scary titles, Wei Tao behaved very low-key from the beginning of the meeting, showing enough respect to everyone. At the beginning of the meeting, he sat down with Liu Qin.
Sitting on the sofa chair, drinking tea, listening to the explanations and discussions, even when asked, Liu Qin would talk about his ideas, but he would completely wave his hand and refuse.
During the whole day's meeting, I ordered takeout lunches for meals. The meeting didn't end until half past ten in the evening. I had no intention of eating. Several people were responsible for their respective tasks and had to go back and continue to work on their own technical skills.
The members of the team continue to work overtime to tackle key problems, and small things like eating are simply thrown aside.
Wei Tao did not show any impatience. On the contrary, he found it very interesting. The entrepreneurial team has core competitiveness and dreams, and is full of courage and determination to conquer the world. It is full of energy and makes people unconsciously immersed in the whole discussion.
Among them, ignore the passage of time.
He was able to ask Zhu Xichun and Lu Jiang to prepare some overtime meals, coffee, drinks, and handle logistics matters in advance.
Rebus, Liu Qin and Wei Tao found a food stall. The three of them didn't look like billionaires at all. They sat on plastic chairs, ate the food stall's barbecue and spicy fried seafood, and drank cold beer at midnight.
Yanjing is still very lively.
Rebus has his own ideas about the future. He respects his partners, but it does not mean that investors can interfere too much in his career in front of him. Today's meeting is somewhat of a show of force, that is, Liu Qin and Wei
Tao and he have known each other for a while, and their image as investors is relatively clear, and they have no habit of pointing fingers.
When Liu Qin said that I was only responsible for investing and not talking about anything else, Wei Tao just lit a cigarette and opened a bottle of wine, and simply rolled his eyes at him, never thinking about being in this situation with Rebus.
Any ideas for discussion on the topic.
Just kidding, just make money for us honestly.
One thing was clear in his mind. In Rebus's big proposition this time, the 20% shareholding ratio could be diluted slowly. In every subsequent follow-up, individual investors were not an option for him, and he also
We don’t want large informal investment institutions to enter the market.
He is ambitious and has absolute strategic goals for his expectations and visions for the future, but now he will not speak out easily. It is no longer the entire project or the creative stage. He is willing to share with more people and let more people understand him.
The idea is to get more recognition.
After Wei Tao clarified this matter, he basically knew what he should do. The next formal financing started, and the most appropriate way for him was not to participate. If he only participated once, the impact would not be big. According to the track in his memory, it should be
It is a financing with a valuation of US$250 million. It seems to have raised US$41 million, which is less than 17%. Then the 20% held by oneself needs to be diluted by a small part. In this round, one needs to keep oneself from being diluted.
The amount invested was much less than the amount Wei Tao expected to invest. He was a little regretful, but satisfied.
He quickly decided on his next move. In order to cater to Rebus's true inner thoughts, I would give up this round. I would just vote for this round and not participate in the next one. Rebus still had something to do.
He is measured and will not destroy the Great Wall by resorting to despicable means to maliciously dilute shareholders' shares.
After this round, Xiaomi should have entered the state of running on the highway at that time. If I wanted to follow, I would have no chance. Let’s not talk about whether I am willing to spend so much money to invest. Those big capital investment banks will enter the market and grab it.
How could there be opportunities for small capital with the few shares that Rebus took out?
After having expectations in his mind, Wei Tao stopped worrying, stabilized his mood, and stopped thinking wildly. After all, when he thought about how huge the business empire Rebus would create in the future, those who could completely reject greed would get more in the early stages.
That's simply impossible. Wei Tao feels that he is great enough now and can resist temptation.
While eating and drinking, he thought about what his magic weapon was to resist all this. Maybe it was his own caution. He didn't want to destroy the process of history or distort the entire development process, so he never wanted to destroy the original successful subject.
To do car riding, one must have the consciousness to do car riding. It is precisely because of this consciousness that he can calmly accept everything in front of him.
We didn't talk about the future, we didn't talk about actually starting financing, but we knew everything, and both of us had answers in our minds.
We spent all day and night talking about the company's prospects, the company's technology, and the project itself, but Liu Qin and Wei Tao happened to know one thing. These have nothing to do with you.
It was already three o'clock in the morning when I got back to the hotel. I looked at the 'talking to myself' message sent to me on my phone as usual. It was sent at 11:50. The other party never sends messages after 12 o'clock.
For a woman who knows how to use mastery, you can say that she is too smart and knows what she wants, but never say that she is too utilitarian.
A strong woman is at least worthy of respect.
In the previous message, the other party described how difficult it was to be a drifter in Yanjing, auditioning in the afternoon, participating in catwalk events in the evening, and being so tired that his feet were swollen, and so on.
"I was in a certain room in a certain hotel. I drank too much and felt a little uncomfortable."
Less than three minutes after the message was sent, the reply came: "Then drink some honey water and take care of yourself."
"I want you to take care of me." I also drank some wine, and my body didn't want to be controlled when I was outside. At the same time, I also finalized the strategic decision of Xiaomi's own investment. It's wrong to say that I am relaxed, but I am more nervous.
It's not accurate. Anyway, the emotions are quite complicated. I can't tell what I am feeling.
I sent the message right away without any regrets. After a few minutes, the other party responded with a message: "Yeah."
Forty minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
Wei Tao took a bath, drank some hot water, and ate some fruit. He was just feeling sleepy when there was a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw 'Big Baby' already standing at the door. It was obvious that he was dressed up again.
one time.
Since you think the struggle is hard, then you don’t need to work hard.
Pulling him close to the room, there was no need for any further words. From the moment the message was sent to the time the person arrived, everything was silent. They were all adults and knew exactly what it meant.
When I arrived, I was ready for everything.
It's daybreak, it's daylight, the sun has risen...
"Don't disturb me if you have nothing to do. Go to sleep."
She sent a message to Lu Jiang at eight o'clock, turned off her phone, turned around and hugged her completely limp body, and fell asleep. Although she was still just a little transparent, when she was 'doing things', Wei Tao's mind would
Flashing back to future scenes of her on some large stages and red carpets, including those refined pictures on the Internet, this immersive immersive experience is something that no ordinary person, no matter how beautiful, can truly bring you.
Do you regret it after the impulse? No, even though it is not the perfect image in the photos and videos, people can play with it and know how to cooperate with you, so it is very enjoyable. This is very important.
Are you worried that you won't be able to get rid of it? It doesn't exist. Wei Tao's impulse is not free. Look at things like Xiaomi, Duowan, Xiaonei.com, and Ele.me. He doesn't dare to touch and change things at will, for fear of affecting himself.
I was lying at home collecting rice, but there were some things I wanted to play with without worrying about the impact.
Any acclimatization or other factors are not within his scope of consideration, and losing money does not matter.
I slept until evening. When I got up, I turned on my mobile phone and called Lu Jiang first to ask him what happened.
Lu Jiang only mentioned the matter of Songjiang. It was not a big deal and he only asked for instructions on a daily basis.
Here, Mr. Lei called to make an appointment at noon. When he learned that Wei Tao was sleeping, he said everything was fine.
He first called Rebus back. He didn't mention anything about work. He only talked about his upcoming itinerary and showed his playful image. In this way, he gave Rebus another reassurance.
Last night while drinking at the food stall, Liu Qin and he had given Rebus reassurance. They both knew that if they had an unpleasant quarrel with Rebus, their future of making money together would be affected. They did not manage and
The ability to lead a company to take off is that we are good at planning, but not necessarily good at making decisions, and we may not necessarily know how to be a true entrepreneur at the helm.
One reassurance pill was not enough, so Wei Tao took another one and gave him a top hat: "I won't get involved blindly. If you, Mr. Lei, need a logistics manager, then I can join in the fun, otherwise...
I’m just waiting for you to take me off.”
"That's ok, I'm short of a logistics director, how about you come?"
"Stop making trouble, I'm going to invite Da Wang and Xiao Wang from Brother Media later to discuss something with them."
This is another reassurance. I am not standing still to do things, but I am cooperating with you. It is you who are doing it. I only support you when you first need funds to realize a dream that others think is impossible. Now your creative team has
I am confident that the three core industries can gradually open up the market and occupy the market. I will retire with success and will not bother you anymore.
The king does not see the king.
When Rebus was afraid of the two of them, it was precisely his unspeakable praise for them. If you are not a person who can make me feel threatened, what if you continue to stay in the project?
What about more participation? What about giving you some permissions?
………………
A private club, a place for wine tasting and cigar smoking. It is not open to the public. It welcomes members directly. The way to recruit new members is also recommended by members. It is located in a downtown area, in a seemingly old three-story building in a winding path. It is not far away.
Only when I got closer did I realize that the red brick walls of this house had been treated very carefully.
Seeing Wei Tao appear with Yang Ying, the Wang brothers understood.
"No need to find anyone else, let's talk about business today."
Knowing that it would give him face to find a female companion, Wei Tao stopped the two brothers in advance. Seeing that he had no interest in drinking, he only smoked cigars, prepared some coffee, and asked here to prepare a meal.
Xiao Wang is always a veteran in the world, and Wei Tao doesn't drink. He gestured to Yang Ying. Before the other party could express his position, Wei Tao spoke first: "I won't drink anymore. Wait until I recover. I drank with Mr. Lei until almost dawn last night."
."
This is protection. In addition to making it clear that this is the artist I want to recommend, I also directly made it clear to the brothers that she is the person sleeping on the pillow next to me.
Yang Ying also felt Wei Tao's domineering attitude. At this age, she couldn't resist such a domineering president. Coupled with yesterday, oh, no, this morning's performance, she felt very sweet. This kind of no longer
The feeling of wandering is so good. The disappointment of wanting to prove that I worked hard but not getting a good opportunity and the cold environment of the market have mostly dissipated.
She wants to know whether her choice is right or wrong? It doesn't seem that important anymore. Her performance in the morning has made her not mind whether her efforts have to be paid back, because that is not called giving. Today's young people care more about each other.
I also get the feeling of gain. Our relationship is two-way, and there is no question of who pays and who loses.
"I want to create a variety show. I can be responsible for all investments. The two managers Wang are more knowledgeable than me. They will help contact the TV station and form a team. We will cooperate."
Whether Wei Tao comes up with creativity or not is not important in itself. Variety shows in this season have not yet begun a new era. They are still dominated by life-style comprehensive interviews. As for whether variety shows make money, if you don’t consider the issue of investment, it seems that other
There's no need to think about it. At worst, it's just a star. Even if it's a cliche variety show, the two CEOs still have the confidence to invite some big names and stars, and that's fine.
Mr. Xiao Wang looked at ‘Big Baby’: “Mr. Wei wants Miss Yang to be the host?”
Wei Tao did not have a romantic relationship with the woman next to him, nor did he have the arrogant attitude of "I want to protect you and I will support you". He simply did not look at her, but focused on chatting with the two Mr. Wangs. This scene fell on
Yang Ying's eyes were full of little stars.
"Outdoor reality show." Wei Tao didn't let the two of them guess, and directly came up with the idea of Running Man. It would take more than a year to get the specific stick, more than a year in advance, and there was no trademark registration.
Yes, whoever creates this brand first will belong to him. Don’t say that some of us have had similar ideas, as that will be considered an afterthought.
It is novel and enough to arouse the greed of the two Mr. Wang. Uncertainty exists in all new things. No matter how attractive things are, there will be investment risks. But now these uncertainties have become irrelevant.
As long as there is no investment risk, even if the program fails, what will be the loss for us? Even if there is a little bit of failure deduction on the artist, the two bosses will not really care.
To measure the innovation era and failure, which one is more important, there is no need to hesitate in choosing which one.
"There is one female resident guest, that is her, and the rest are male guests. After that, there can be flying female guests, who come out once or twice. The program content team is the key. They make the propositions into good content and have scripted gameplay.
, the play must be realistic; the play of the Mohu script must be safe and fun. The most important thing left is the choice of other resident guests. I will not participate, and I will not comment." Wei Tao is used to it.
Going around in circles, even if it's some twists and turns that you understand and I understand, is the same as Rebus. They have a certain understanding of each other, to the point where they understand each other, and everyone takes a step back from each other, leaving room to avoid embarrassment.
For the rest, he will say it very straightforwardly, without leaving any room for retreat. I will fully invest, I will share the profits with you, and I will give you a lot of authority. It can be said that in addition to creativity and a few hardware requirements
In addition, I have only promoted one permanent guest. Let alone Brother Media, any person or company in China that has the ability to do this will welcome Mr. Wei's investment with both hands and feet raised.
Glancing at the woman next to him who could no longer hide the joy in his heart, Wei Tao spoke again: "Be real, unpretentious, and brave. Women can be delicate, but in this kind of program, what is needed is not a princess, but a pretty girl like me."
A warrior who is brave enough to be a princess but brave enough to be a warrior and slay the dragon. If the show requires laughter regardless of the image, distorted expressions, gobbling up food, some jokes that damage the image, ridicule and games that damage the image, if you think this
If it is an opportunity, then be more real. I believe that your persistence and courage are not lacking. What kind of N model, that image is completely thrown away. In the show, you have your hair tied up, no makeup to a certain extent, sportswear and jeans,
If you can use the image of an ordinary person and show the bravery of a female man, so that people can put words like beautiful and beautiful on you, you will be considered successful."
The two Mr. Wangs also have pictures in their minds. Once the word "reality" is used and presented to this beautiful little girl, the selection and use of the other male guests will also determine the program's planning team.
The most important factor besides content arrangement.
"In addition, my two brothers are helping me. I have a supporting role in a big-budget movie, and there is a suitable second or third female lead in a TV series with a good script. Don't worry. Before that, find a professional team to help her re-style and design. Find
A professional teacher teaches her acting. If she really doesn’t have any talent or room for improvement, she can become a famous fashion star, walk on red carpets, participate in events, and be a temporary host..."
Mr. Xiao Wang said in his heart, “Fuck, I’ve seen people praise female artists, but I’ve never seen anyone praise them like this. What kind of magic did this girl cast to make Mr. Wei willing to spend so much money to support her? It seemed like she was asking for help from herself and her brother.
In fact, whether it is due to a favor or an equalization with the previous investment, it is Brother Media who actually takes advantage. He is completely flattering this girl by doing this. How much does this cost?
Mr. Da Wang's level is different from his younger brother's. He focuses further: "It's not a problem, Mr. Wei. I heard that SoftBank can't wait for the school network."
Rebus didn't pay attention to it yesterday because he was all focused on his own industry. Liu Qin didn't know anything about it. Today, Mr. Wang mentioned something that Wei Tao couldn't hold back. Some information didn't need to be called.
As a secret, I now have enough strength to support the so-called secret.
The key is that it can no longer be hidden, nor is it planned to be hidden. No one knows what is behind this matter except Guan Jinyue and other operators. It is considered unintentional. Wei Tao has been secretly enjoying it for several months.
, I haven’t shared it with others because it hasn’t really formed a value yet. Now someone has taken the initiative to mention it, and the show-off craving has come out in my heart. I don’t mind sharing it with others now, and it’s also because everything has been settled. Is it just a dumb loss or are we all getting rich together?
, then only the other party knows it.
"Please order the Sakura meal and let's drink some sake."
Seeing that Wei Tao suddenly became interested, Mr. Xiao Wang called for people to make arrangements. Mr. Wang casually glanced at Da Baobao. He had no other thoughts, but he thought this woman was quite powerful. It seemed that Mr. Wei was very satisfied.
Knowing that she is developing in Sakura Country, I always cater to her taste when eating.
Yang Ying herself was the same. She was filled with joy. She no longer suppressed it deliberately at this moment. She looked at Wei Tao with eyes full of love. How could such a man not be liked by women?
Wei Tao was used to being a helpless man when there were women around him, and relied on others to serve him. The service staff next to him helped the two bosses prepare tableware and ingredients. Here, Yang Ying began to prepare everything for Wei Tao, trying his best.
The mustard-based dipping sauce was not tolerated until he nodded with satisfaction, and then started the dinner with a piece of conch slices.
I thought I would talk about the new variety show and about getting resources for myself, but it turned out not to be the case at all.
Just now she thought that Wei Tao didn't leave any room for what would happen if the other party refused.
When Mr. Wang said that everything was fine, she was uneasy again. Is it that simple? This made her suddenly realize that there seemed to be some things that she might not be able to pursue with all her efforts, but in the eyes of some people
Here, it’s just a matter of waving your hands.
This is the first time that she has a more real understanding of the power that money brings, and has a desire for superior people and life.
She began to desire, and the ambition that had been buried in her heart for a long time was quickly taking root and sprouting, quickly becoming an important part of her body.
When the three of them really chatted, she realized why she didn't talk about things that related to her, because it wasn't important.
Among the chat topics, those things are not important. Even variety shows, movies, and TV series have suddenly become leftovers on the dining table. If you want to 'clean', then it is still valuable. If you don't,
Entering the trash can is its only ending.
After two small glasses of sake, Wei Tao didn't show off. Facing Mr. Wang's curiosity and seeing Mr. Wang who didn't realize that his brother's question had just created a big topic, he said directly: "Everyone knows that I am lucky.
Well, I think so myself. I invested in a small company before, and they produced a game called Happy Farm..."
Damn it!
I wipe it!
Mr. Xiao Wang was stunned, and then he lamented Mr. Wei's good luck.
Mr. Da Wang’s words, “Holy shit,” have nothing to do with luck, but the long-term prospects of the investment in Happy Farm being integrated into the school network.
The eldest baby is simply surprised. She knows the game and has played it before. Too many people around her have fallen into the trap. Men, women, old and young are all killing each other. Many uncles and aunts from her parents have fallen into the trap to play this game.
, and it is a very crazy state.
It is said that Wei Tao's investment in 'Xiao Nei Net' will eventually be sidelined by SoftBank and Chen Zhou. This is indeed the case. With only a 9% shareholding ratio, even if SoftBank provides sufficient capital investment, he will definitely raise funds again.
With that small share, once the two parties cooperate, they will definitely take advantage of him.
Things are different now. The school network is going to be renamed. It is no longer limited to the scope of the campus. It has developed rapidly in the past six months. As a major contributor to Happy Farm, you can imagine how much value it has. And what Wei Tao said means that he is
The major shareholders of Happy Farm, those small companies started by young people, are often forced to give up most of their shares in order to get investment. If they succeed, they will feel unjust and panic. In fact, the number of failures is ten times higher than the number of successes.
A hundred times the ratio, how much ratio you give to investors is a matter of opinion.
Wei Tao has this big killer weapon, and looking at his relationship with the school network, who dares to say that he can be kicked away?
"No, hasn't Penguin already started to imitate the gourd? Do they have backup plans that are not afraid of imitation, or do they have follow-up projects that can increase user stickiness to compete with Penguin's user base?"
Mr. Da Wang zoomed in a little more and looked at Wei Tao in surprise.
Wei Tao also nodded in agreement: "The contract was finalized a year ago, and the contract after the year ended up being imitated by Penguin. In order to create value, and to share the pain of taking advantage of me again with others, the school intranet will be renamed soon. , and conduct a financing, this time the valuation will be a leap, and my shareholding ratio will be diluted, but as a shareholder of Happy Farm Production Company, I have found someone to estimate the value of Happy Farm in Xiaonei. , the total shareholding ratio will be higher than before, and at the same time, I will be given some extra cash. To create publicity and publicity to defeat Penguin's plagiarism at once, I can take advantage of Penguin's momentum, after all. , no one wants to have a stable home front before going on an expedition."
It's a secret, but it's a secret that was only known a few days in advance. The two Mr. Wang raised their glasses and toasted. Apart from the two words "awesome", they really didn't know what to say. The school network was previously valued at five 100 million US dollars. Due to the good development in the past six months and the user channels opened by some branches of Happy Farm, there have long been rumors that the company will refinance and the valuation will be directly aimed at 2 billion US dollars.
And Wei Tao has made a lot of money again. No wonder he is so stubborn and directly declares to fully invest in a new show to praise newcomers. If you have money, you can be so willful. Using money to praise newcomers becomes easier, even if this is Girls are not material. As long as you have a big tree like Wei Tao, it is not difficult to become a well-known female star. The resources obtained by spending money are more affordable and more direct than the opportunities obtained by favors.
