My Age of Investment

"idea?"

   Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Jingxing with some puzzlement, not understanding why the other party asked such a question.

   Seeing Zhang Ming's expression, Xia Jingxing simply said something more straightforward.

   "Meituan was established in the first half of the year than Jiujiufang, but it has completed three rounds of financing.

  Although Jiujiufang has developed well, in my opinion, the track chosen is still a little narrower. "

  Xia Jingxing looked at Zhang Ming a few times and smiled, "Of course, I have no other meaning when I say this, I just discuss it with you."

   Zhang Ming nodded and said, "Understood, group buying entrepreneurship does seem to be more promising, and it is an emerging track, the future is uncertain!

  We are different, we just acted as a porter, and aggregated the listing information and real estate information of websites such as Sina Leju, Sohu Focus, Soufun, Aifang, and Penguin Real Estate for users.

  Strictly speaking, we are just a second-order dealer, and it is difficult to make a mark among the many real estate websites gathered by established companies. "

Seeing that Zhang Ming had such a clear understanding of the future development space of Jiujiufang, Xia Jingxing decided to cancel the originally planned pUA routine, and said very frankly: "The platform of Jiujiufang is still too small, I think you should go to a bigger one. stage."

"for example?"

   "For example, the domestic holding group."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "You are doing a good job of starting a business. I shouldn't have poured cold water on you."

"but…"

  Xia Jing jargon turned and said: "These two years are the golden development time for mobile Internet entrepreneurship. Once you miss this window, you may never encounter it again in your life.

   As the saying goes: Choice is greater than effort.

  I think you should think about whether to spend the most precious years of your life on a real estate website with a low ceiling. "

  Zhang Ming finally understood, Xia always wanted to recruit himself, let him give up entrepreneurship and join the domestic holding group.

   From the heart, he was not too tempted by Xia Jingxing's solicitation.

  People who have been bosses, generally speaking, are naturally unwilling to work any more, unless something happens.

   "I have a new project here that I think is a good fit for you."

  Xia Jingxing looked at Zhang Ming with a warm smile. He took the time to study Jiujiufang in the past few days and found that this website aggregates real estate information and the design of housing listings is similar to today's headline aggregation news, which can be regarded as the same strain.

   It’s just that Toutiao has to be stronger in information distribution. After all, it is backed by big data and algorithm recommendations.

  Although he was a little curious, Zhang Ming still didn't ask Xia Jingxing what new project he was recruiting to do, because he didn't even consider accepting Xia Jingxing's invitation.

   "Mr. Xia, thank you for your appreciation, but I still want to start a business with a group of brothers."

   "You don't have to worry about Jiujiufang, because I plan to package and acquire your company together."

   Zhang Ming was a little stunned, was he really just to recruit himself? Wouldn't it be for the acquisition of Jiujiufang?

   But he quickly gave up this funny idea, even if he really wanted to acquire a company as big as Jiujiufang, it would not be up to Xia Jingxing to talk about it in person.

  …

   It looks like you are simply admiring yourself?

   Thinking of this, Zhang Ming couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Xia Jingxing, and found that the other party was looking at him expectantly.

   Considering the gap between their identities and careers, Zhang Ming's thoughts were not as firm as they were just now.

   It sounds ugly, but being appreciated and recruited by Xia Jingxing is something that many entrepreneurs would not dare to imagine in their dreams.

  If the relevant news is spread, it is estimated that Jiujiufang will not have to worry about the next round of financing.

   Seeing that Zhang Ming was silent and seemed to be thinking seriously, Xia Jingxing added a heavy weight to his psychological balance.

   "Zhang Yong had a phone call with Wang Qiong yesterday, and she is very interested in the proposal of Haihai Holdings.

   But she respects the opinions of you and the team, so I asked you out to meet today just to talk about it. "

   Zhang Ming opened his mouth and was about to speak, when Xia Jingxing waved his hand and interrupted, "Don't rush to answer me, discuss it with your team.

   In addition, about the new project, I can also reveal one thing, it is about the application of big data.

  Hinai Holdings has been doing related research since last year. We have built a special database for hundreds of millions of users through Fuxing Cloud, and tagged each of them according to their interests, occupation, age, and gender.

   Guess what we want to do? "

   Zhang Ming smiled silently, how can I guess?

   However, some of Xia Jingxing's words just now still deeply touched him. These two years are the prime time for mobile Internet entrepreneurship. It would be a pity not to do anything.

   The growth potential of Jiujiufang is limited, and no matter how well it is done, it will not become a national-level application. He is very clear about this.

   It would be great if he could make a subversive app like Zhang Dalong did?

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Will the big data technology you mentioned be applied?"

   "Yes, it will be used for advertising, with thousands of people and thousands of faces, and the effect must be good."

  Zhang Ming nodded thoughtfully, he probably understood a little, this was collecting user information, then analyzing the user's preferences and needs, and finally pushing advertisements accurately.

   What if it were applied elsewhere?

   For example, by applying big data to Jiujiufang, can you accurately recommend real estate to users, improve user stickiness and transaction rate, and then defeat other real estate applications in one fell swoop?

   "It is not easy to do big data, you must first have a large amount of user data.

  In the whole industry, we may have this background with Ahri, Chihiro and Penguin.

   But we are different from the other three companies. We attach the most importance to the mobile Internet and are the first to transform the mobile Internet. "

  Zhang Ming nodded, "I know this, the industry says that the fastest transformation of domestic holdings mobile Internet is dipped in the light of Fuxing mobile phones and Android.

   But I don't think so, I think it's Mr. Xia, you are far-sighted. "

   "You're still flattering?"

  Xia Jingxing's words made Zhang Ming blush a little bit, he really didn't mean to flatter him at all, but from the bottom of his heart.

   Looking at Zhang Ming who is shy and not good at words, Xia Jingxing shook his head in his heart, who could imagine that such a boring gourd would achieve such remarkable achievements in the future.

  …

  If it wasn't for his prescient foresight, he might have come to the same conclusion like Zhu Xiaohu: this child is too modest, introverted, and gentle in appearance, and does not seem to have strong ambition and aggression.

Facts have proved that Zhu Xiaohu is not mistaken, Zhang Ming's temper is indeed a little soft. In his previous life, he had an argument with Ponima in the circle of friends, and the pony, who was overwhelmed by the fighting power, said something, "I didn't want to fight with words, but I couldn't help but complain. , was criticized by pR, I will send you the materials separately."

Xia Jingxing thought to himself, if it were himself, even if he didn't turn his back on Pony Horse, he would still give the public the impression of being "evenly matched". Why would he send materials to Pony Horse, and he wasn't his subordinate? .

   Of course, it is also possible that Zhang Ming deliberately "shows the enemy to be weak" and paralyzes Pony Horse.

   All in all, compared to Huang Xin, the same generation of entrepreneurs who are full of wolf, disregarding people, and specializing in brothers, Zhang Ming is as gentle as a little sheep.

   Not to mention the disapproval of Zhang Ming's leadership charm, Xia Jingxing still likes products such as Toutiao, Douyin, and tiktok, and they are very complementary to domestic holdings.

   Therefore, the attitude towards Zhang Ming is also different from the "financial investment" and "strategic investment" that he has always adopted in the past. The main businesses involving social networking and pan-entertainment must be firmly controlled by himself.

   "Mr. Xia, please let me think about it again."

   "No problem, this is a major event, and it is related to the direction of your future life, so you should consider it clearly.

  You can also ask your friends for advice, for example, let Huang Xin help you with your staff. "

  Xia Jingxing was very sure that Huang Xin would definitely not support Zhang Ming's independent business for no other reason, and he did not believe that such a pure technical otaku could succeed in the "complex" Chinese market.
