The rebirth of the wife and children

"You want to talk about games? You want Toutiao to also have games built in?" Cao Yi said it directly, revealing everything.

Wang Qiong said directly: "No, Toutiao's initial positioning is to push reading and consulting based on the big data analysis of customers. If it has built-in games, what is this?"

Zhang Yiming didn't speak. Seeing his silence, Shang Fuhai didn't care what he was thinking. He shrugged and continued, "Mr. Wang, as I said just now, I'm just offering an opinion. I'll talk about it later if it works." It’s a total, wait a moment, let me finish the third suggestion as well.”

When the others heard what he said, they stopped talking for a few words. Shang Fuhai paused for a while, picked up the water glass and took a sip of warm water to moisten his dry throat. He continued: "In addition to the two suggestions just now, I There is also the last one. We have been focusing on consulting push and precise search. Of course, I, a layman, dare not say that I understand these two functions. It is irresponsible to not directly implement the built-in video modules of Jinri Toutiao, such as music, movies, and small videos.

At this point, he scanned around, and continued: "You think, when I don't want to read the consultation content, I just open the built-in video module of Toutiao to watch movies, or open the music module to listen to music. I will open the game module and play casual games..."

"Is this difficult to achieve? I think it should be very simple with the technical reserves of today's headlines, or you still think that today's headlines should be a pure text reading client, so why not position it as a novel reading Of course, I’m using this as an example. What to do, I still need Zhang Dong to take the helm, so I will just put forward my suggestions.” Shang Fuhai said all the last words he wanted to say in one breath.

After he finished speaking, he immediately closed his mouth, or drank his saliva, with an attitude of having nothing to do with himself.

Shang Fuhai's words really gave Zhang Yiming a lot of ideas, not just the three suggestions, but broke Zhang Yiming's inherent thinking restrictions and rules.

As Shang Fuhai said, he has never specifically positioned Toutiao as a product of a single nature. In this case, why is it only a client for text information reading?If so, wouldn't it be better to make it a novel reader?

But it is not!

Since Toutiao is not that kind of thing, why can't it be put into the game?Why can't I place videos, movies or music.

As long as it is not too outrageous, as long as it can mobilize or attract customers' attention, thereby driving traffic and mobilizing active customers, why not give it a try?

Is it a simple reason? Many platforms are saying the same thing. The most successful one is Tencent. Even Tencent has done this. Why can’t Toutiao do it today?

In a short period of time, Zhang Yiming's mind went through this idea directly, and he said: "Let's talk about the first plan proposed by Shang Dong just now, everyone, let's vote with a show of hands."

"Before the vote, I want to make it clear that Shang Dong's first proposal is obviously a purely public welfare activity. Since it is public welfare, then don't think about making money from it."

There is no difficulty, and this proposal has been passed.

Then the second vote was voted on. Except for Wang Qiong who was still a little hesitant, Shen Nanpeng, Cao Yi, and Dehua Investment also voted successfully. When continuing to vote on the third one, there was also no suspense, but Zhang Yiming There is another moth.

Chapter 487 Co-funding and Establishing a New Company

After the majority of people voted and approved Shang Fuhai's three proposals, they originally thought that this matter could be considered a turning point, but Zhang Yiming didn't happily let him turn it over.

"Dear directors, in addition to the three suggestions proposed by Shang Dong just now, I also have one suggestion for your reference." Zhang Yiming took a special look at Shang Fuhai.

At the moment of eye contact, Shang Fuhai probably guessed it, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yiming still didn't give up.

Sure enough, the next moment I heard Zhang Yiming say: "In fact, apart from the three uncertain suggestions just now, we now have a stable fan-absorbing tool, but unfortunately, this fan-absorbing tool was not developed by Toutiao. ..."

When he said this, Wang Qiong was the first to react, and looked at Shang Fuhai with a swish of his head.

After Cao Yi reacted, he also looked at Shang Fuhai.

Shen Nanpeng's reaction was half a beat slow. He was still thinking about the meaning of Zhang Yiming's words. After seeing the reactions of Wang Qiong and Cao Yi, he also came to his senses and looked at Shang Fuhai.

It’s just that, there is one person here who owns a short video that has almost become a phenomenon-level fan-attracting tool in today’s Internet market.

Not to mention anything else, there is not even a year to confirm the cumulative user downloads exceeding [-] million, and the number of daily active users approaching [-] million. One to catch up with Tencent or Ali?

Having said that, if today's headlines and Paike short videos are combined into one, what will be the effect?

Shang Fuhai saw the eyes of Wang Qiong, Cao Yi, and Shen Nanpeng, and knew that they had guessed what Zhang Yiming wanted to say, and he was so angry that his stomach hurt.

He simply refused to hold on, and if he continued to hold on, he really thought he would be easy to bully.

"Old Zhang, I've given you so many good suggestions, but you still don't give up, okay, tell me what you want to do?" Shang Fuhai directly called "Old Zhang" again, which can be seen in his stomach resentment.

"Are you planning to hold the shares or buy them all? As long as you can afford the price, I agree." Shang Fuhai put the problem on the bright side.

At the shareholders meeting in the morning, he probably didn't pay attention to the content of the shareholders meeting. He has been thinking about how to get Zhang Yiming to stop his "thief" about Paike's short videos, so he just put forward three very feasible ones. He believes that everyone here is not a fool, and Zhang Yiming's IQ is even better. He should stop chasing his short video clips.

But he was wrong, Zhang Yiming's heart is not dead!

Since that's the case, I'm not easy to mess with. Let's all show your cards. If the price is satisfactory, I can sell it all to you. But if the price is not satisfactory, you should give up.

Zhang Yiming probably guessed that Shang Fuhai still had the same tune, and he didn't even make an offer.

He still remembered the price of 100 billion for Shangfu's poster, which was too high, at least not worth it now, and he couldn't afford it.

That's right, Toutiao's current valuation is indeed very high, but it doesn't mean that he has tens of billions of cash flow in his hands. Besides, even if he has enough funds, he will not really rush to shoot customers like Shang Fuhai's casual quotation short video.

100 billion?Am I stupid?

Seeing that Lao Zhang stopped talking, Shang Fuhai didn't even look at him, and looked around again, and finally said: "Old Zhang, don't you just want to recruit a sharp weapon to hit the overseas market? Well, I am also a shareholder of Toutiao , I must also think that it can have a better development. It just so happens that Paike Short Video is currently developing an overseas version. company……"

Zhang Yiming was a little moved, this proposal was good, and he also had a smile on his face.

Before Shang Fuhai finished speaking, he said resolutely: "I agree to establish a new company funded by both parties. We can even use the technical reserves of Toutiao to fully assist in the development of overseas versions of Paike short videos. I only have one request. ..."

"Say." Shang Fuhai responded quickly.

Zhang Yiming said: "Paike short video has product authorization and some capital investment. Today's headlines provide research and development funds and technology. I require this new company to be established. Today's headlines must occupy 50.1% of the shares."

"No matter what the situation is in the future, the newly established company cannot involve all the rights and interests of Jingcheng Parker." Shang Fuhai emphasized.

This is a compromise plan he came up with all morning, and he also thought it through. Zhang Yiming is only staring at the overseas market. He needs a powerful tool for attracting fans overseas. It just so happens that Liang Rubo has just started developing Paike shorts. For the overseas version of the video, he also told Liang Rubo that their own strength is still too weak, and the hairstyles for the overseas version still need to find some more powerful employers.

Coincidentally, Toutiao meets this condition, and compared with pure capital, a company with capital and technical reserves like Toutiao is the first choice for the overseas version of Paike short video.

After Zhang Yiming heard Shang Fuhai's last condition, he stood up and lined up his hands on the oval desk in front of him: "Yes, I agree."

Following Zhang Yiming, he looked at Wang Qiong, Cao Yi, Shen Nanpeng, and Kang Youde and Yan Ruhua invested by Dehua: "Everyone, you have heard the proposal just now, let's vote by raising your hands now, and I agree with it." , and Yuri from DST also agrees to this proposal..."

This coquettish operation is really a big mess!

Wang Qiong felt that this proposal was a bit of a joke, but she had confidence in Zhang Yiming, just like when she and Zhang Yiming were discussing a new cooperation in a cafe, Zhang Yiming wrote the product structure and concept of Toutiao on a napkin In fact, how careless it is, but in fact it succeeded, and it has been very successful so far.

This is a person who either does not do it, or if she is sure, she will definitely do it. She has no reason to object to Zhang Yiming's statement.

Cao Yi also believed in Zhang Yiming's ability. At this time, he also had a certain amount of trust in Shang Fuhai's ability. He also wondered if he could join in this new company jointly funded by Jingcheng Parker Technology Co., Ltd. and Toutiao. Want to participate in a share.

Shen Nanpeng?

There are already 5 heavyweight shareholders who have agreed. Is it useful for him to object? It is better to be a good person by following the trend.

The two of Dehua Investment seem to have no right to speak.

Right now, this is just a suggestion, and the subsequent detailed regulations need to be discussed in detail. Now that the proposal to re-establish a company has been approved by a show of hands, Zhang Yiming and Shang Fuhai did not continue to haggle over this company.

Zhang Yiming understands very well that no matter what he does for this new company, he cannot avoid Shang Fuhai's Jingcheng Parker Technology.

For Shang Fuhai, it is enough for him to do a good job in the domestic version of the short video. The overseas version is really not so easy to get. He clearly remembers the overseas version of the Douyin short video in his previous life, and there are at least three countries. Overseas versions of , have been forced to close for one reason or another. What does this mean?

With Shang Fuhai’s current energy, he won’t consider the overseas market for a while. In this case, it’s better to throw out the overseas version of Paike’s short video. Today’s Toutiao, a giant, is charging forward. Just make money later.

Will today's headlines cheat him?

Shang Fuhai doesn't consider this issue right now, even if Zhang Yiming really tricks him one day, it will be a few years later.

Then they began to vote on other issues one by one. Each issue was explained in detail at the shareholders' meeting, which also included the implementation of Toutiao's next investment in addition to its own development.

It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and another important matter was finally mentioned at this shareholders' meeting.

About Toutiao’s D round of financing!

Obviously, Toutiao's current capital is not very abundant, and there are many things to be developed in the next step. The three suggestions proposed by Shang Fuhai need to be implemented step by step, all of which need to spend money.

In addition, Toutiao and Jingcheng Parker jointly funded the establishment of a new company. Zhang Yiming just said that Toutiao invested in technology. A lot of financial support is required.

After careful calculation, none of them save money!

Regarding some things about the D round of financing, as Wang Qiong analyzed to Shang Fuhai at the time, many things were already decided, and there were no accidents in the D round of financing. Sequoia Capital led the investment, Haina Asia, Haifei Capital , Source Code Capital followed up with the investment, and this wave will have nothing to do with Dehua Capital.

Kang Youde and Yan Ruhua were still aggrieved, but it was useless. At this time, their role was getting smaller and smaller.

Apart from money, their role in Toutiao is almost negligible, and Zhang Yiming even has the intention to remove them from Toutiao's team.

In addition, the D round of financing will definitely introduce several new capital parties, which is beyond doubt.

When talking about how many shares Zhang Yiming was going to release this round, Shang Fuhai never expected that Zhang Yiming would only hold out one finger.

"10%?" Shang Fuhai felt dizzy, what the hell is asking us to grab that 10%?

In the end, the whole family only owns one or two points of shares, and they are engaged in woolen yarn!

Shang Fuhai was very upset, but Zhang Yiming's attitude was very firm, and he demanded that the funds must be contributed, and he would not accept other financing plans.

When meeting such a fellow, Lao Shang had nothing to do, so he just gave up.

After the last round of plan discussion, it was already 06:30 in the afternoon, the night sky was completely dark, and the street lights outside were already on.

Shang Fuhai stood up and patted his legs and butt that were a little numb all afternoon, and he didn't have the image of a big boss at all.

Wang Qiong burst out laughing, this little brother is really interesting.

Cao Yi from Source Code Capital also came over: "Boss Shang, do you have time to have a drink together in the evening?"

"Mr. Cao, isn't Lao Zhang going to treat you tonight? This hanging hair is too picky." Shang Fuhai said upon hearing this.

It happened that Zhang Yiming came over, and when he heard Shang Fuhai's words, his whole face turned purple, he was so angry!

Chapter 488 Investing in Zhang Yiming

"Eating one less meal will starve you to death?" Zhang Yiming also responded unceremoniously.

Shang Fuhai ignored him, and walked to Wang Qiong: "Sister Wang, look at Lao Zhang's current appearance, he doesn't even think about a meal, how about this, who made me the youngest among us, I invite you all for dinner tonight."

"I think it's okay. It doesn't matter who treats guests. The main thing is that I always want to have a good chat with Mr. Monk." Cao Yi nodded repeatedly.

Shen Nanpeng also nodded: "I don't care, so it's settled?"

Zhang Yiming's face turned dark, what rhythm is this bastard playing?

After the fun, Zhang Yiming made preparations in advance, and he entertained the shareholders and entourage at the star-rated hotel Kaideli Hotel near the company, which is also the hotel where Paike Short Video’s last B round of financing was located.

When he arrived at the hotel and sat down, Cao Yi deliberately sat down beside Shang Fuhai: "Shang Dong, are you interested in buying a share in my source code capital?"

"Cao Dong, the companies under my group are currently in the period of industrial expansion, and I have no plans to make other investments for the time being, but if you can wait for me for two years, and then invest some more at that time, what do you think?" Shang Fuhai turned around and said , did not directly refuse.

Cao Yi also understood: "Of course, I welcome you anytime."

After finishing speaking, he then asked Shang Fuhai: "Is Mr. Shang's money enough? I am very interested in Mr. Shang's Tesco.com and Paike short video, but I have already missed the B round of financing of Paike short video." , Do you want to invest in Tesco.com?"

"Cao Dong, e-buy.com has no financing plans this year." Shang Fuhai said directly.

Cao Yi didn't understand: "Isn't Mr. Shang's e-buy going to promote it?"

"Well, let's put it this way, the main task of e-buy.com this year is to support Baofei convenience store's offline coverage and lay out online channels, so I won't ask it to do large-scale online expansion in the early stage." Shang Fuhai emphasized: "Cao Dong, let me tell you this, Tesco is not a pure online e-commerce platform, it is not Taobao, nor JD. Services."

"I understand a bit. Do you want to build the model of RT-Mart and Feiniu?" Cao Yi gave an example directly.

RT-Mart has just begun to promote Feiniu. However, Feiniu has a big limitation. It only delivers within 3 kilometers of RT-Mart’s store address. For customers beyond this range, you can’t place an order at all, and there is no need for additional delivery fees. use.

The circle gradually began to pay attention to this model, but it is useless for you to pay attention. This model means that their promotion scope is limited, and the corresponding capital consumption is not large. There is no place for you to grab a piece of meat.

Shang Fuhai did not refute, he said ambiguously: "Almost!"

Cao Yi understood, and didn't bother with this issue any more.

After the food and drink were prepared, Shang Fuhai had to admit that his drinking capacity was the most boring among the people at the table, and Wang Qiong was better than him. With two or three goblets filled with white wine, Wang Qiong could drink half of it in one gulp.

After the first glass of white wine was finished, Shang Fuhai changed to beer, and he couldn't drink any more.

"Brother Shang, your drinking capacity is useless. There will be more occasions like this in the future. You should practice more." Wang Qiong teased him.

Shang Fuhai curled his lips in disdain: "This only shows that I'm not good enough. If one day I get to the level of an old horse, I can't do anything if I don't drink!"

He spoke so forcefully that everyone at the table praised him.

Zhang Yiming snorted: "Boss Shang is such a braggart, we can all keep our eyes open and watch you surpass the old horse!"

"Fuck off, Lao Zhang, whether I can surpass Lao Ma depends on how powerful you are on today's headlines. If you make today's headlines surpass Alibaba, then I will surely win Lao Ma in the future. If you can't, then Don't talk nonsense." Shang Fuhai said with a little drunkenness.

Speaking of this, even though they knew it was unlikely, Wang Qiong, Cao Yi, and Shen Nanpeng were all very moved. If it could be realized, it would be such a beautiful thing.

Ali’s market capitalization of 3000 billion U.S. dollars, taking 6% of Shang Fuhai’s shares as an example, can really survive until then, which is also close to 200 billion U.S. dollars, which is beautiful when you think about it!

Zhang Yiming felt his blood boil when he heard this, but he also knew that it would be fine if he thought about it. If he really wanted to achieve that step, he himself had no idea.

"Speaking of which, Brother Shang, your Baofei Group is also developing very well. As for your Baofei convenience store, if it can develop well and set up branches all over the country, you can check it better than anyone else!" Wang Qiong I don't know whether I named Baofei convenience store intentionally or unintentionally.

She still remembered the financial data reported by Shang Fuhai at the annual meeting of Baofei Group. Baofei convenience store is simply a money-absorbing weapon. This is completely different from their investment in a certain product. This is time-sensitive and probabilistic. But Shang Fuhai's Baofei convenience store is really making money every day, and the cash flow is so abundant that people can't imagine, she really drools.

It's a pity that this little bastard Shang Fuhai doesn't accept investment.

She said it on this occasion today, and even Cao Yi and Shen Nanpeng had thoughts in their hearts, but they were very shrewd, so they didn't say it out. They wanted to find another suitable opportunity to chat with Shang Fuhai.
