I stole someone else's ticket to rebirth

Snap HQ.

Currently, Snap is a very expensive project, and the profit margin has not yet been tapped, except for advertising.

At present, almost every project costs money. For example, the promotion on university campuses costs about 30 million yuan a month. This is not the full-scale state, because there is no similar platform competition in the market.

Although Douyin has been out for a few months, it is still mainly music-focused and is a niche platform.

Kuaishou has too many users. After 500,000 copies of the King Card customized with China Unicom were sold, the user traffic of Kuaishou has doubled, with daily active users basically reaching 10 million and the click-through rate exceeding 100 million.

At that time, Douyin had only two to three million daily active users, and even with the help of Toutiao and Xigua Video, its click-through rate was not as high as Kuaipai.

There are also team fees, bandwidth server fees, and operating fees.

It costs about 2 billion yuan a year.

Moreover, Xiangnu is currently working on promoting Kuaipai internationally, targeting a music software in the North American market. However, the price asked by the other party is not low, one billion US dollars.

Kuaipai has no way of getting this money, so it can only start financing.

Currently, Kuaipai has burned through more than 3 billion yuan and does not have the ability to swallow up a company worth 1 billion US dollars.

But if this opportunity is missed, this software will be taken over by ByteDance and soon evolve into TikTok.

Li Yang is not jealous of Tiktok's market value, he simply thinks it is beneficial to have a certain voice in foreign media.

Besides, the entire Tiktok operation is not complicated. The main reason is that... foreign entertainment software is really terrible.

Both Twitter and Facebook are relatively backward social software, with a severe lack of entertainment content and insufficient creative soil.

To put it bluntly, those are services for big internet celebrities, and ordinary people are not qualified to become big internet celebrities.

In the era of short videos, everyone can become a big internet celebrity, which is the fundamental reason that attracts countless people to follow.

Xiangnu seemed to be completely unconcerned about the photo scam. After carefully analyzing the situation, he asked, "Do you want to get your girlfriend involved?"

"Why would she participate? Kuaipai is only worth a few dollars. If she participates, our shares will be diluted. I don't mind, but what about you? You've worked hard for a year or two just for less than 1% of the shares?"

Once Jiang Banxia uses one billion US dollars to raise funds, Xiangnu’s equity will be diluted several times.

Although Kuaipai spent 3 billion yuan, the valuation given by the capital market will not be too high. It could be several hundred million or even tens of billions. After all, its monetization methods are weak, its capital consumption is high, and it has not formed an absolute voice in the industry.

The reason why ByteDance was able to raise one billion US dollars was not because of Douyin, but because of ByteDance as a whole.

At that time, Toutiao had a valuation of 30 billion yuan, and Xigua Video had a valuation of 8 billion yuan.

Raising $1 billion in financing is no pressure at all.

Xiangnu asked: "Do we still need an international market?"

"Yes! Just go and negotiate with the other party. I will be responsible for paying the money. However, we will set up a separate Kuaipai Overseas Group at that time, and you will get 5% of the incentive shares."

"Oh well."

Xiangnu felt a lot, this was Li Yang giving her benefits.

Although there is no hope of being able to eat it for the time being, it is a blank check.

The 5% incentive equity will not be diluted, and her share will not decrease even if Kuaipai Overseas Group raises funds again in the future.

Li Yang gave her 5% of his shares.

Xiangnu thought of something and continued, "There's one more thing. Penguin has invested in a live streaming platform. Should we ban them from live streaming PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds?"

After all, Youku has not yet obtained the live broadcast rights for LOL, and Penguin Games has not authorized it.

Li Yang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. There's no need... A game that doesn't provide much emotional value is not important to us. Just focus on promoting PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds."

There are still a lot of LOL players, but it is definitely not as much as it was at this time in the previous life.

In the past life, LOL has been creating the concept of resisting Korea. It has failed every year, but there is always hope every year, which has whetted the appetite of players.

But ever since Li Yang led the team to win the championship in 14, that sense of anticipation has faded.

Coupled with Li Yang's words, it even stripped the underwear of domestic professional players.

What kind of expectations are there?

Then in 15 and 16, the World Championships were bloodbathed and basically could no longer provide emotional value to too many players. The fact that there are fewer and fewer people in the live broadcast rooms of those big LOL anchors can prove this.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is still more fun. Although some people suffer from 3D sickness, they can get used to it as they play.

The most important thing is that there are a lot of girls there and you can communicate via voice in real time.

Even the female anchors on a certain fish platform are basically working part-time as game companions, and the price is quite cheap, just a few dollars per game.

This is the prototype of entertainment in the new era. There are too many Internet geeks.

"You are so generous."

Xiangnu has never seen Li Yang compete with others. At most, he would post a couple of Weibo posts when he was forced into a corner. He has never competed with others maliciously.

"It's not that I'm generous, but it doesn't make much sense. Their live broadcast of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds can at least bring us some users and do some heat promotion. As long as we make the ecosystem better and better, others will only become our nutrients. If we do poorly, we deserve to be eaten by others. Malicious competition has no benefits except wasting each other's energy."

Li Yang is not afraid of Penguin. He and Penguin do not have too many conflicts in their main business. Penguin will not dare to say that if you have WeChat installed on your phone, you cannot use Snap or Youku...

They dared to launch the 3Q war before, but do they still dare now?

Li Yang's goal has always been to do his own thing well.

"Understand, understand. We need to have a pattern."

As he was talking, Xiangnu took out a small box from his office drawer, handed it to Li Yang and said, "It just so happens that you are here today, so I will give you this birthday present. I won't have to make a special trip tomorrow."

"I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me..."

Li Yang quickly took a photo, and then sent it to the rich women group, and said: "This is the birthday gift from Xiangnu. Does it look good?"

The next second, Xiangnu saw the content.

"Luckily you're a man. If you were a woman, how much of a green tea would you be?"

"Hahaha..." Li Yang picked up the gift directly, "Thanks!"

……

When Li Yang returned to his residence with the gifts, he saw the photos placed in the living room.

It was his wedding photo with Bai Qing, taken the day before yesterday.

Bai Qing in the photo is charming and attractive, and with the embellishment of the child, she looks even warmer.

I have had a very successful life.

Unlike the failure in the previous life, a failed life cannot find any bright spots or opportunities to choose.

Now he has many options to choose from.

Chen Peipei came out with the child and said, "It's just right that you're back. Qingqing said she's booked a meal. Let's go together."

"where is it?"

"It's the one you used to go to."

"it is good."

Because Chen Peipei was there, Bai Qing didn't let the nanny come over.

Half an hour later, Li Yang drove Chen Peipei and the children to the restaurant. Bai Qing had already arrived.

Now that Bai Qing is doing what she likes, she is visibly in better spirits and more excited.

Everyone has ideals and hobbies.

It’s just that many people have compromised with reality.

Bai Qing used to be one of the people who compromised with reality. She was willing to be a full-time mother at home and a mascot in the Green Water Group.

It was not until Li Yang handed Aurora Studio to her and strongly urged her to go to work.

Chen Peipei actually didn't want to eat with the two of them because it was too greasy.

Even a little disgusting.

He wanted to kiss her while eating, and didn't treat her as a human being at all.

Her revenge every time was... kissing their son.

Kiss hard.

After dinner, when they arrived at the gate of the community, Bai Qing asked Chen Peipei to take the child back first, while she and Li Yang stayed in the car.

"Honey, how about going to an escape room with me? Over at the Starry Sky Escape Room."

“Are there any good scenes?”

"Yes, I took a look and there is a new scene called Meng Po."

"Let's go and have some fun!"

"Ok!"

Bai Qing took out a mask and put it on Li Yang, then put it on herself.

When they arrived at the place, the two lined up to get their ID cards, and about twenty minutes later it was their turn to enter.

A team of twelve people in total.

This scene of Meng Po mainly tells the story of Meng Po's life. Everything starts from that wedding.

Bai Qing's identity card was the first to trigger the plot. After she left along the passage, Li Yang and the rest of the people began to look for clues.

After triggering several side plots in succession, Bai Qing has not returned yet.

Until Li Yang's identity as a "stand-in" appeared in the plot...

His identity was originally to die in place of someone else, which was also the most terrifying scene in the whole scene. He had to lie on the bed and wait for Meng Po's soul to come back and marry him.

Li Yang is not a very courageous person, especially after being scared by Jiang Banxia last time, he feels even more timid.

What's more, this is an identity card that requires contact with NPCs. He will be pulled over by Meng Po...

I just don’t want to watch it anymore!

He entered an embroidered bed, and in the terrifying atmosphere, he pulled the mask up to cover his eyes.

After all, people's fear will make them open their eyes involuntarily.

With the mask covering my face, I feel much more at ease.

Suddenly the bed began to move... and the music became more and more urgent.

The next second, the mechanism on the bed was suddenly triggered, and he fell directly off the bed.

Fortunately, there was a very soft and thick cushion underneath, because he felt that he had fallen at least one meter high.

He felt that the light outside was much brighter, but because of the mask, he didn't know what was happening.

No movement?

The scary music around him also disappeared.

Slowly, he couldn't hold back his emotions anymore and took off the mask covering his eyes.

It's a festive scene at first sight. It seems that this place is not the same as the previous scene. In which scene would they use so many lights?

At this moment, he was on a platform in the room, and the cushion on the platform was at least half a meter thick.

I stood up and walked down the steps of the platform, and found that this was a wedding room.

The structure is Chinese style, and the wedding bed is a solid wooden bed. The red silk around it creates a very atmospheric feeling.

In front of the dressing mirror, there was a person sitting, a bride wearing a headscarf.

Just by looking at the impressive figure, Li Yang knew who it was at a glance.

Next to the bride, there was also a set of wedding dress.

He walked over and quickly changed into his wedding dress.

After making sure that everything was almost ready, he came to the bride and used the scale beside him to lift up the red headscarf. Bai Qing, who was dressed in a gorgeous dress, had a smile on her face and her bright eyes seemed to be laughing.

"Husband..."

Bai Qing called out softly.
