The rebirth of the wife and children

But this evening is very face-saving, and he can still see a few twinkling stars in the night sky. He said: "I just thought about a few problems that the company may encounter in the future development. Since it is almost 12 o'clock, why don't we celebrate the new year together! "

Chapter 870 Qutoutiao's Annual Meeting

After waking up early in the morning, Shang Fuhai saw his mother and mother-in-law making dumplings in the kitchen. There were already a lot of dumplings beside him, and he didn't know what time they got up.

Seeing his son-in-law Shang Fuhai approaching, Jiang Chunhua asked him, "Fuhai, where is Feifei?"

"Still asleep. I got up three times last night to cover Yuan Bao with the piss. I'm so tired. I don't go to work today anyway. Let her sleep a little longer." Shang Fuhai explained with a smile.

Zhou Xiumei immediately took over the conversation: "Well, this is how it is to look after children. It's very hard work. I can't sleep well all day long. I have to go to work during the day. It's rare to have a rest today. Let the two of them sleep more. Wait a minute. After the dumplings are cooked, go ask them to eat."

His mother-in-law said so, Jiang Chunhua didn't say anything else, and Shang Fuhai also helped for a while. He really enjoyed the warmth of this family gathering together.

In the past few years, I have been working so hard just to ensure a stable family life and not have to worry about money.

On New Year's Day, Shang Fuhai received text messages, WeChat messages or phone calls from many people to wish him well. He also made a round of phone calls to the elders in his family, and also called Li Chuanqing in the capital.

Speaking of Li Chuanqing, Shang Fuhai is quite envious of his life now.

From the large number of photos posted in his circle of friends, Shang Fuhai knew that since Uncle Li retired, he really wants to open up now, and he has completely let go of himself.

In line with what Li Chuanqing said at the retirement reception, he is going to take Li Meifeng to travel around the world together. In the photo, there are a lot of photos of the old couple Li Chuanqing and Li Meifeng, all of which were taken in famous scenic spots around the world.

Li Chuanqing also sent Shang Fuhai a lot of small gifts from different countries with strong local taste, but from this point of view, Li Chuanqing treated him very well.

"Uncle Li, our company's annual meeting is scheduled for the 14th. Do you have time to come and have fun together?" Shang Fuhai took the initiative to send out an invitation.

Li Chuanqing was taken aback: "It's another year, time flies so fast, Fu Hai, is it the 14th of the Gregorian calendar? I will definitely take your aunt there."

"Okay, Uncle Li, then I'll wait for you." Shang Fuhai said, and Li Chuanqing laughed boldly again with his words.

The laughter is hearty, quite a bit of the demeanor of the all-powerful days.

Beijing, a high-end apartment complex in Weiyang City.

Li Meifeng put her legs on the armrest of the sofa in a very unimpressive manner, and kicked her legs one after another, feeling very comfortable.

"Old Li, is it Fu Hai calling?" Li Meifeng asked Li Chuanqing after listening to him chatting happily with the other end of the phone.

Li Chuanqing nodded: "Well, Fu Hai said that the 14th is their group's annual party, and asked if we have time to go there to play."

"Really, I have to go there. Hey, I have to think about what gifts to bring to my little granddaughter. I don't know if that little girl Yuan Bao still remembers me as a grandma." Li Meifeng began to think about it.

Now that she thinks about it, she doesn't force her son to hurry up and get married, just let him.

As her son said, at this age, the rest has to follow fate. At this age, what's the point of finding someone who can barely make ends meet?

When Li Meifeng thought about it, it was indeed the case.

She is no longer urging him from time to time like before, but also because of this, she knows very well that she will never want to have grandchildren in the past two years, so she treats Shang Fuhai as her nephew all the time The youngest daughter is very rare.

When Li Chuanqing sent small gifts from all over the world to Shang Fuhai, Li Meifeng also sent some private goods to Xiao Yuanbao.

After hearing what she said, Li Chuanqing shook his head and laughed, "You're only a little girl over three years old, and she doesn't see you very often. How can she remember you?"

"Whoever said it can't remember it, Lao Li, should we make a bet!" Li Meifeng was not happy.

She glared and said, "Yuan Bao is so cute and smart. I treat her so well. She will definitely remember me as a grandma. But you are such a bad old man. She really may not remember me!"

"Hehe..." Li Chuanqing laughed so hard that he was about to cry, so please be happy!

In a blink of an eye, the three-day long holiday of New Year's Day passed, and those who stopped for a while started to chase after themselves.

On the 4th, Shang Fuhai also set foot on the high-speed train to Shanghai.

This time I used to attend Qutoutiao's annual meeting, followed by Han Zhengyu, Sun Qingde and Gao Yubao.

The high-speed train entered Shanghai, and when it arrived at the station, Shang Fuhai and Han Zhengyu got off the train together.

As soon as he left the platform, Han Zhengyu saw an acquaintance, Tan Liang, one of the founders of Qutoutiao.

"Shang Dong, welcome!" Tan Liang put down his arrogance and smiled all over his face.

Shang Fuhai was quite surprised: "Boss Tan! Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know that Boss Tan came here in person. If I knew it earlier, I can't say anything, but Boss Tan has waited so long."

"Shang Dong is too polite, it should be, everything should be, Shang Dong, get in the car quickly, let's go back to the company and talk." Qin Liang very politely invited Shang Fuhai to get into his car.

There is nothing unusual about an ordinary BMW 7 Series. Compared to Tan Liang's status, it can only be regarded as an ordinary means of transportation.

However, compared to the current income situation of Qutoutiao, this is understandable.

Qutoutiao’s current cumulative user downloads have reached 9000 million, and the number of daily online active users is also around 3000 million. But from this point of view, the rapid development of Qutoutiao has surprised many people. At the same time, it also proves that Qutoutiao The success of the original short video drainage.

But in this regard, a top-level advertisement was made for Paike short video, which also made many apps to be released later intentionally or unintentionally want to attract a wave of traffic from Paike short video.

Also because of the success of Qutoutiao, it also led to a sharp increase in the advertising expenses of Paike short video in the second half of the year, making it surpass Sohu in one fell swoop, and jumped to the fifth place after Toutiao today.

Also because of the huge increase in the number of downloaded users of Qutoutiao, the founders of Qutoutiao, Qin Liang and Li Lei, paid special attention to Shang Fuhai. Because of this, Qin Liang came to pick up Shang Fuhai in person this morning.

Just to show that they have enough respect for Shang Fuhai.

When it came to Jifen Culture Communication Co., Ltd., Li Lei and the company's other shareholder representatives were already waiting for Shang Fuhai.

When they saw Tan Liang's car approaching, they all subconsciously surrounded him.

In addition to Shang Fuhai being the company's heavyweight shareholder, it is also because Shang Fuhai's identity is there, the major shareholder of Toutiao, the founder of Paike Short Video, and the unshakable major shareholder of Paike Short Video.

The sole owner of Yigou.com and the major shareholder of Yipay's third-party payment platform.

The upstart in the Internet circle, after Zhang Yiming last year, is the fastest rising one. There are various rumors on the rivers and lakes. Shang Fuhai's wealth statistical summary results can exceed tens of billions, but also because of Shang Fuhai There is no listed company under his name so far, and its financial situation does not need to be disclosed to the public at all, which also led to the omission of Shang Fuhai in last year's Hurun Rich List.

After all, rumors are rumors, and no one can be sure of the authenticity of them.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two parties went directly into the office building. In the luxurious comprehensive meeting room on the top floor, Qin Liang, Li Lei and Shang Fuhai walked side by side, and the shareholder representatives of the other two companies were half a step behind.

"President Tan, start now?" Shang Fuhai asked the doctor.

Qin Liang asked him in surprise: "Shang Dong is exhausted, doesn't he need to rest?"

Shang Fuhai waved his hand directly: "It's nothing. I used to do this a lot in the past, and I spent most of my time sleeping on the train. Mr. Qin, he called me here today. There must be something more important. Since this is the case, let's start early. I have to hurry back to Bocheng after I'm done with the work here. In 9 days, Baofei Group will hold the annual party. If Mr. Tan has time, I welcome Mr. Qin to participate."

Hearing what Shang Fuhai said, knowing that he was not being hypocritical, Tan Liang and Li Lei looked at each other and said nothing else.

"In this case, let's start now." Tan Liang said.

Li Lei, Shang Fuhai and the shareholder representatives of the other two companies all nodded in agreement.

After all, Qin Liang is the founder and chairman of Qutoutiao. Here, he is the boss. Even if Shang Fuhai is domineering outside, it is not good to take the lead at this time.

After sitting around the square conference table, Qin Liang turned on the projector on the conference table. After a while, a computer operating system interface appeared on the front screen.

Qin Liang skillfully opened the PPT in one of the folders.

On the first page, it says "Qutoutiao's short-term development plan and B-round financing".

That's right, it's that direct.

After reading it, Shang Fuhai frowned directly. He remembered that Qin Liang had notified everyone to increase the capital last time. Could it be that he is short of money now?

Shang Fuhai turned his head and glanced at Han Zhengyu who was sitting next to him. Old Han shook his head and remained silent.

"Everyone, first of all, I would like to thank Shang Dong, because of Shang Dong's full support, and because of the successful drainage of Paike's short videos, the current cumulative downloads of Qutoutiao have exceeded 9000 million, and the number of daily active users of our Qutoutiao is 2700. The average online time of users exceeds 56.3 minutes, all these data show that our Qutoutiao has become a phenomenon-level news APP product in just 8 months.”

"Next, we will strike while the iron is hot, and continue to expand the marketing efforts of Qutoutiao. Only when the cumulative number of users of our products increases, can the various advertisements and endorsements we receive become more and more popular. Valuable, our products can become more and more valuable."

Chapter 871

I got up late in the morning, and only wrote 2000+. This afternoon, I will strive for 5000+ in the chapter. I finished this paragraph, sorry.

"Then, before I talk about Qutoutiao's latest development plan, I would like to explain in advance about Qutoutiao's B-round financing." Qin Liang focused on the 'B-round financing' on the PPT with a red laser pointer in his hand. 'Draw a circle on it.

Everyone here understands, Tan Liang called them over today, I am afraid this is the ultimate goal, no money!

Sure enough, what Tan Liang said next just confirmed this point.

"Everyone, I am very happy. After just 8 months of development, we have developed 9000 million cumulative download users through various promotion and publicity channels as well as our reading redemption model."

"But it's precisely because of this, because we have no money in our Qutoutiao account!" Tan Liang apologized.

To be precise, Qutoutiao’s A round of financing was the last time Shang Fuhai joined in. He obtained 20% of the shares by means of funds and promotional resources. A piece of flesh was removed from his body.

Later, there was an additional investment, but it is obvious that the additional funds have already been exhausted or will soon be exhausted in the face of nearly 9000 million users who swipe money, which is amazing.

After Qin Liang finished speaking, Li Lei, the co-founder, also said: "The development of Qutoutiao has exceeded our imagination. Originally, we expected that the funds we held would be enough for Qutoutiao to use for about 18 months, but in the rapid growth Under the consumption of users, we only used it for 8 months, which is far beyond our expected time. In this case, we have to make sacrifices, either continue to increase investment or raise external financing.”

But it is obvious that the PPT in front of me has already written, 'B round of financing', I believe that as long as the eyes are not blind, you can see it.

This is a clear game.

Shang Fuhai didn't say a word, just sat there quietly, watching what happened in front of him, and the development track of Qutoutiao, he knew better than everyone here, he even knew that Qutoutiao would be listed in the near future, but The B-round financing this time is indeed as Li Lei said just now, nearly a year earlier than the historical track.

And it is precisely because of the participation of major capital parties in this round that slowly promoted Qutoutiao’s listing and financing, and they also used this listing channel to cash out their positions.

Shang Fuhai, who was the first to join in, also came up with this idea, so Shang Fuhai does not reject external financing, on the contrary, he agrees with it.

But there is one thing, I am afraid that Tan Liang and Li Lei thought he would not agree, so they sang a double reed here?

"Kevin, what do you think?" Shang Fuhai turned his head and asked Han Zhengyu in a low voice.

Han Zhengyu frowned, and then stretched out: "Boss, there is no need for them to do this. From the perspective of investment, we will not force additional investment. There is really no need to do anything extra."

No matter how lofty the investment is, the ultimate goal is just to make money, not to hold some meaningless stocks or shares in your own hands and sell them for a price.

Without more people reaching a consensus, the market will not recognize your value!

On this point, Han Zhengyu would not make such a mistake, nor would Shang Fuhai.

If possible, Shang Fuhai would even dump all of Qutoutiao before it goes public.

After Li Lei finished speaking, Qin Liang nodded and continued: "Yes, the development of Qutoutiao has completely exceeded our expectations. In this regard, we all need to thank Shang Dong for his strong support. If there is no Paike short video The drainage, we will not develop so fast."

Li Lei and the shareholder representatives of the other two investment companies also expressed their gratitude with a smile.

Shang Fuhai also responded to them with a smile: "President Qin, has the time for the B round of financing been fixed? Do you plan to invite those people to participate? Do you need my help?"

"Shang Dong, we plan to release the wind first, wait and see, and then close the net when the opportunity is right." Qin Liang said directly.

This means that they already have a plan, and it doesn't matter if they don't need Shang Fuhai's help.

"Objectively speaking, I very much hope that Qutoutiao can develop better, so that we shareholders can make money, so if Mr. Qin needs my help in any way, don't feel embarrassed, our interests are one. "Shang Fuhai emphasized it again.

After Qin Liang heard this, he couldn't help but take another look at Shang Fuhai. Shang Fuhai's reaction was completely different from what he had imagined.

But no matter what, Shang Fuhai's words were full of sincerity.

Immediately afterwards, Shang Fuhai interjected and asked, "President Qin, does Qutoutiao have any plans to go public in the short term?"

"..."

As Shang Fuhai's words fell to the ground, the small conference room immediately fell silent.

Qin Liang and Li Lei looked at each other. They did have this plan, but the two discussed it in private, and no one told them. Even the other two investment companies that were the earliest in Qutoutiao didn't know. Shang Fuhai asked this question. What do you mean, is he just asking casually or can he ask?

"What does Shang Dong mean?" Li Lei asked.

Shang Fuhai looked at the two amusedly, without revealing his expression on the surface, and he continued: "It's just going to market. Our product is doing well, but in the end, its value can only be realized after it goes on the market."

"That's right, what Shang Dong said is right. Since Shang Dong asked, let's talk about this matter today. I do have a plan to make fun headlines listed in the short term, so from this point of view, we need more Introduce new capital to support our product launch."

That's right, what's the matter with covering up.

"Mr. Qin, look at this. Before the B round of financing, I, as the major shareholder of Paike Short Video, fought for a 3-month promotion opportunity for Qutoutiao. We only have a larger cumulative download volume of users. The more active users and the longer the number of online users, the more valuable Qutoutiao will be.”

Shang Fuhai acted as if I was fine and devoted myself to the development of the company.

He followed up and said: "Of course, this promotion will definitely require payment, but I can negotiate a more favorable price for Qutoutiao. What do you think?"

Han Zhengyu was about to give Shang Fuhai a thumbs up under the desk.

The boss is clever, don't care about anything else, he at least first brought a business to Paike short video.

Qin Liang and Li Lei looked at each other, then at the other two shareholder representatives, what does Shang Fuhai mean?

During the discussion, time passed very quickly, and when Shang Fuhai arrived here, it was already very late, and it was noon before he knew it.

Not wanting to understand what Shang Fuhai meant, Li Lei stood up in a timely manner: "Everyone, it's already noon, let's go eat something to fill our stomachs, and then discuss in the afternoon, what do you think?"
