What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 57: The Times
Yu Xing supports Song Yufeng in creating an "Internet workplace paparazzi website" and an "Internet insider center" to make money while standing.

In addition to the opportunity to make money from the website itself, a factor that has recently made him more and more willing to support it is the consideration of robbing the rich to help the poor.

How to short sell, how to rob the rich and help the poor...

Is it enough to simply have certain information?
Maybe it is enough, or maybe it requires more resources and configurations.

After all, information is complex, inside information is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and things will develop and change.

Only when you take the initiative and create the fluctuations yourself can you be the most reliable.

How to fix...

Yu Xing felt that he had no experience, so maybe he could practice this time and try his best to configure the work.

However, when he and Song Yufeng discussed the new project, they planned to criticize the Internet dating industry and discussed the future development of the website, but they did not talk about investment, cost, shares and other issues.

It was the daily routine in the evening. Yu Xing brought his third-in-command Zhong Zhiling with him today. They were in charge of a stall together and chatted about the next money-making project.

When Zhong Zhiling heard his senior brother’s summary of the first phase of drainage, he was stunned.

My dear mother is here!

Senior brother, you are too bad!

Sell ​​first and then bomb, will there really be no problems?

Seeing that the third in command was silent, Yu Xing looked at his expression and said disapprovingly, "If the company can be sold, the moment the contract is signed, we are all clear. Do you think a company is willing to pay because of charity? Because they pity us?"

"Zhi Ling, just like us, I tell you, if our deficit is filled, I will never blackmail you morally, and I will never ask you to be loyal to me or anything like that, it's all bullshit."

Zhong Zhiling pursed his lips and said, "Yes, it is immoral for senior brother to kidnap me. Senior brother is trying to control me."

"Employees should not feel grateful to their bosses. You can get paid because you are valuable, and we don't need to have any psychological burden towards any buyer of Guiai.com." Yu Xing expressed his position, "Public affairs are public affairs, and one thing is another."

Zhong Zhiling didn't expect his senior brother to say so much at once, so he explained with a wry smile: "No, Brother Xing, although it is true, if you stand up, there will always be people who think this is unfair."

Yu Xing said calmly: "Brotherhood is not true friendship. We should not be drinking buddies, but honest friends. As for whether they are willing to accept it, it's up to them."

Zhong Zhiling felt his senior brother's firm logic and knew that he had already made a decision in his heart.

He immediately said, "Okay, Brother Xing, then we will be friends in the industry!"

"Actually, I'm a little helpless. I don't know what price I can get from Guiai.com." Yu Xing sighed, "Even if I sell it, I'll definitely have to use part of it to comfort my family. I don't know how much I'll be able to use by then."

He shook his head: "We have no experience in building websites. I now think that as long as there is traffic, there will be income. I can only think of hot topics such as gossip, quarrels, insider information, revelations, and interests."

Zhong Zhiling thought about it again and again, but for a moment he was unable to help his senior brother with the supplement.

He lowered his head in shame.

Yu Xing patted his junior brother and continued, "If I could make money peacefully, I would definitely be the most peaceful, but, as it turns out, that is impossible."

Only then did he casually talk about the vandalism of the ads.

Zhong Zhiling raised his head and said decisively: "Brother Xing, the Internet dating industry lacks an ecological niche for honest friends. If we, the current college students, don't do this kind of offensive work, who will we give it to? Should we give it to the next generation of college students? No, let us do it."

He said passionately: "What does this matter? It is nothing more than the practice of our experience, nothing more than a company system!"

Yu Xing nodded slightly: "Zhi Ling, I am very happy to have your recognition."

Zhong Zhiling's thoughts had already shifted from why to how to do it, and he asked, "Since you are going to do this, Brother Xing, why don't you discuss the shares with Song Yufeng? If these are not distributed well, how can we devote ourselves wholeheartedly?"

"No rush, let him try it out on his own first." Yu Xing replied, "I'm afraid he's very excited about starting a business now. Once he tries a little, he'll realize the difficulty and come over more actively. Besides, we still have to try to sell Guiai.com at a good price."

Zhong Zhiling nodded and couldn't help but recall how his senior brother pulled him in. Oh, it was simple. He was dragged in because he lost money.

"Song Yufeng..." Yu Xing said halfway and gave up on evaluating the temporary worker in front of his junior. "He may be able to find some connections. Maybe I can represent Guiai.com at the Internet Conference in Jinling next month as a college student entrepreneur."

Zhong Zhiling smiled and said, "That's great!"

Yu Xing said, "Yes, that's great. If possible, if Jiayuan.com is here, I think this Internet conference might be a great opportunity for us to sell the company."

Zhong Zhiling was surprised: "So fast?"

Yu Xing reached out and patted the questionnaire on the stall, shaking his head slightly.

Although the two were chatting all the time, passers-by did not come forward out of curiosity. This was a completely different environment from that on campus.

Gap, transformation, and development.

This also appeared in Yu Xing's conversations with Zhong Zhiling or Lu Haiying in July.

However, these words have only now become fully concrete.

They are the disappointment of working hard but getting nothing in return, the helplessness of trying hard to explain but being met with contempt, the bitterness of the company's rapidly declining orders, and the wavering of the employee team.

If the chasm were so easy to cross, it wouldn't be a chasm.

If transformation were so easy to achieve, it wouldn’t be called transformation.

If development were done so quickly, it wouldn't be development.

These are the real situations of Guiai.com from early to mid-August. The social customer base is more difficult than imagined, which means that the company's success is further away than imagined.

This problem can be temporarily solved by modifying the data, but I must be aware of the predicament the company is facing.

Zhong Zhiling wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly understood what his senior brother meant. As he said, one must practice it personally to truly understand it.

"Such an opportunity is rare. I am now worried that I will not be able to get a price in the future." Yu Xing said slowly, "Now I can say that the development of social customers has almost failed. So, at the end of this month, you and Xiaoying will go to Beijing and Yangcheng respectively to change positions and modify the order data."

Zhong Zhiling nodded seriously.

The orders for Shencheng, Lin'an and Jinling have been partially modified, but the market managers in Beijing and Yangcheng are not stable, so this matter cannot be done through them.

He said: "Brother Xing, don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

Yu Xing said with emotion: "Okay, it's your sand that makes me feel at ease."

Zhong Zhiling felt that this could be considered a compliment.

Just as he was about to speak, a customer finally came and curiously asked what the "Love Contract" on the banner was.

Yu Xing gently explained to the young couple, showed them the many orders the company already had, took out the 1000 million registered capital of the Hong Kong company, and finally provided proof of the family's household registration.

"Don't worry, the two of you. Even if the company is gone as you worry about, I will definitely take care of it myself!"

Zhong Zhiling felt quite sad when listening to his senior brother's assurance. Why must it be like this just to sell something? Why must it be like this?
"It's not easy. Today is considered an offline order." Yu Xing put away the contract, looked at the backs of the young couple as they left, and sincerely wished, "I hope they will be together forever. They look like a perfect match."

Maybe it was luck that brought me this order, as two more orders were placed within half an hour.

The average order value of social customers is higher, which is 520 for a couple, so three orders will generate 3 in revenue.

"Zhi Ling, do you think we need to lower the price for social customers?" Yu Xing asked the third-in-command for his opinion, "Perhaps, this will make it easier to sell." "The redemption period for social customers is 2 years, which I don't think is too long." Zhong Zhiling said his actual feelings, hesitated for two seconds, and then said, "School is about to start in September, and it doesn't matter whether social customers are good or bad. If we suddenly lower the price when Zhenai.com notices us, I'm afraid they will doubt our actual effect."

Yu Xing immediately agreed: "That makes sense, indeed. Even if the price reduction is effective now, we should not do too much."

Campus traffic will definitely rebound in September, and we can continue to add some sand at that time. Then it will depend on whether the Internet conference from September 9 to 23 can yield any results.

While doing their daily work, the two chatted about the next arrangements.

June and July are graduation seasons, and the time to explore new contracts with graduating couples. September is the start of the school year, and the company needs to explore contracts with couples still in school, as well as increase part-time work in order to further stimulate team vitality.

That is to say, the minimum guarantee is removed, and part-time students will be given commission for each order they complete.

Part-time jobs are definitely unstable, but Guiai.com doesn’t care about that. What it pursues now is the volume of orders.

That night, Yu Xing and Zhong Zhiling's stalls did not receive any more orders, but the two talked about a lot of things.

When Zhong Zhiling returned to the small hotel, he couldn't help but chat with his girlfriend Lu Haiying.

"Being a good friend, a troublemaker, and running a paparazzi website, what on earth does Xingge want to do? I always feel like he has other intentions."

Zhong Zhiling described today's communication and briefly summarized it, his heart filled with confusion.

Lu Haiying thought along with him.

Then, I didn’t figure it out.

She poured a glass of water, and seeing that her boyfriend was still pondering, she said, "What's there to guess? Since you are so curious, why don't you just ask your senior brother?"

Zhong Zhiling looked up blankly: "Ah?"

Since senior brother didn’t say anything, is it okay to ask?

Lv Haiying understood her boyfriend's intention and said with a smile, "I'll ask him tomorrow. If you don't want to tell me, then I won't tell you. I won't lose anything."

Zhong Zhiling was really envious, and this time it had nothing to do with the position.

He rubbed his temple. “It’s nice to be able to be straight.”

Lu Haiying smiled and said, "I don't understand why you have to think so much."

Zhong Zhiling spread his hands and said, "Senior brother, you taught me well!"

……

The next morning, Lu Haiying bought breakfast and strolled to the office. As expected, she saw her senior brother already working at his desk.

"Brother, you are the most hardworking person I have ever seen." Lv Haiying put down the buns and soy milk and said with a smile, "Does having the largest shares mean you naturally have the strongest sense of responsibility?"

"Hardworking? Maybe there are too many things to solve, so I'm forced to work hard. When we have money, we still have to enjoy life." Yu Xing thanked for the breakfast and pushed the notebook to the second-in-command, "Take a look at my topic."

Lu Haiying took the notebook and saw that there was only a title on it - "The Future of the Internet from a College Student's Perspective".

She thought for two seconds and asked, "Is this the manuscript written for the Internet Conference?"

"Yes, since I am here as a college student entrepreneur, I will write about the future in my eyes." Yu Xing said vaguely while eating a bun, "Well, I have to write in a way that is beneficial to us."

Lu Haiying nodded and asked directly: "I heard Zhiling talk a lot about his conversation with his senior brother last night. Does the senior brother have any plans?"

Yu Xing swallowed the bun in his mouth and said with a smile: "Nothing has been accomplished yet, so what plans can we talk about?"

Lv Haiying said naturally: "Okay, then tell me when you have a plan."

Yu Xing found it funny and could roughly imagine Zhong Zhiling scratching his head.

He paused for a moment, pointed to his notebook and said, "I plan to talk about the development of mobile Internet, tools and social platforms, and the significance and limitations of Alipay as a tool."

Lu Haiying was slightly surprised and said, "Brother, the topic you want to talk about... is a bit big."

"Since Alibaba's President Ma will definitely be there, I hope he will remember what I said today at some point in the future," Yu Xing said thoughtfully, "This will be more conducive to our development."

Lu Haiying didn’t quite understand, was he trying to seek investment from Alibaba or something else?
Yu Xing knew that the second-in-command didn’t understand, but he didn’t plan to talk about it any further.

As he just said, nothing has been done now, it's just an idea without a plan.

However, he did have a serious idea, which still revolved around robbing the rich to help the poor and actively mastering reliable fluctuations.

When it comes to robbing the rich to help the poor, the giants are definitely the richest, but at the same time, the giants also have strong moats.

However, the transition from the Internet to mobile Internet is a major turning point. As strong as Penguin is, it has also been deeply worried about the changes in the times. Its leader Pony Ma has even publicly expressed a sense of crisis, "When the giant falls, its body is still warm."

WeChat has enabled Penguin to gain a firm foothold in the mobile Internet era and continue to maintain its advantage.

But before WeChat developed smoothly, Xiaomi once made a similar product called "MiTalk", which gained 100 million users in a short period of time. When MiTalk had 1000 million users, WeChat only had 300 million users.

Unfortunately, WeChat relied on the huge traffic of Penguin, especially the traffic diversion from QQ, which forced Lei Jun to give up the head-on competition with Penguin and instead invest in the smartphone project.

If MiTalk persists, can it compete with WeChat?

The answer in Yu Xing’s heart was no.

Penguin’s traffic is too strong!
But he is still considering making a similar product to compete with Penguin when the time is right. Well, this is of course still a competition that cannot be won. After all, it has not been too long since WeChat came on the scene, and it is difficult to accumulate advantages in terms of resources, capital, talent, technology, etc.

Penguin will definitely not let go of its core business. Once instant messaging tools appear on the market, it will definitely fight like a lion to catch a rabbit.

and so……

Yu Xing’s thinking was that he could still do it, and then use the accumulated funds to short Penguin, and then directly sell this product to Alibaba.

The market probably isn't worried about a small company having 1000 million users and staying ahead of WeChat.

But if a company like Alibaba had such a breakthrough product, how would the market react?
Yu Xing initially thought of this and wanted to rob a big one.

However, thinking this way means you will just slowly ponder it in your mind, checking for omissions and filling in the gaps, and you won’t be able to share it with anyone else.

MiTalk will probably debut the year after next. So thinking about it, the preparation time does not seem to be too abundant. After all, if you want to take on two giants like this, you need to have good market results.

Yu Xing let out a long breath and suddenly said, "The steam rising from Yunmeng Lake and the waves shaking Yueyang City are really fascinating."

The air is blowing in Ali and the waves are shaking Pony the penguin!

The little guy also wants to stir up the situation in this era!
Lu Haiying looked at his senior brother in surprise, not knowing why he suddenly came up with two lines of poetry.

"Let's get to work. My teacher called me last night and asked me what Zhiling and I decided." Yu Xing started to think about how to write his speech again, and then he said casually, "I told him that I would take a leave of absence. You can discuss with Zhiling what he wants to do."

There is only half a month left until September, and Liu Jingrong also needs a definite answer.

Lu Haiying thought carefully for a while and said, "Brother, let Zhiling think about this matter alone, okay?"

Yu Xing looked at the second-in-command and said simply, "Okay."
