Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 175 It’s easy to take big steps...
Some people may think that at this can the valuation of Dream Technology reach as high as 100 million US dollars?
In fact, the predecessor of Xunmeng Technology, the e-commerce agency website founded by Huang Zheng, has already achieved annual sales of over 100 million yuan and profits of over 10 million yuan.
It took Huang Zheng only three years to reach this level. In the eyes of most people, this achievement is already a sign of entrepreneurial success.
However, for Huang Zheng, it was still too slow and it was not considered a "successful" project. In Huang Zheng's eyes, it was still too bleak.
So he again drew core technical personnel from the project and directly established a new company "Dream Technology". The name alone revealed Huang Zheng's ideas.
The choice of games as the starting point for this third entrepreneurial project may have something to do with the benefactor Ding Sanshi, but in Huang Zheng’s understanding at the time, for a businessman, making money is always the most important thing.
Only by accumulating sufficient capital can one be qualified to talk about ideals and other pursuits, and the development of dream-seeking technology in the gaming field is no less impressive.
However, during this period, Huang Zheng's health and he was completely unable to work, so he was forced to return home to recuperate.
This rest lasted for nine months.
Perhaps it was during this period of rest and reflection that the "promoting good products" model was conceived in Huang Zheng's mind when he returned to pursue his dream of technology.
Xunmeng Technology has quietly grown into a gaming company with annual profits exceeding tens of millions, another entrepreneurial project that can be called successful.
But in Huang Zheng's eyes, it is still not enough. If he was just satisfied with this "success", Huang Zheng would have stagnated long ago and would not have chosen to struggle again and again.
Huang Zheng put into practice the thoughts he had during his recuperation period, and on April 10, "Tuihaohuo" was officially launched, beginning his further exploration of the e-commerce field.
In less than two weeks, the average daily order volume of Tuihaohuo had exceeded 1,000, with a gratifying growth rate. At this time, Zhou Dongsheng came to the door.
The profit-seeking nature of capital means that it is greedy, if Zhou Dongsheng just wants to "pick peaches".
Huang Zheng had every confidence and courage to refuse. Whether it was the cash flow provided by the two major companies he owned, or Ding Sanshi and his teacher behind him, they were all enough to provide him with strong capital support.
Ding Sanshi and his teacher also played a role in the success of the two previous entrepreneurial projects.
This is exactly the reason why Huang Zheng rejected Lu Sifang. If it was just about funds, Huang Zheng indeed had no shortage of them. Even if he needed to raise funds, he would keep the money within the family.
However, what really impressed Huang Zheng about Zhou Dongsheng was the like-minded ideas they shared, whether it was his precise description of the concept of "new social e-commerce" or his strategy of "surrounding the cities from the countryside."
Just like a needle, it directly strings together Huang Zheng's theories and viewpoints that are still in the practical stage, forming a logically self-contained system.
It provides a theoretically feasible basis for success and, more importantly, a strategic guideline for the "promoting good products" model, which is still in the practical stage.
Although Huang Zheng will slowly explore and master these things through practice, and then further incubate the e-commerce platform Pinxixi.
However, the subtle thing is that although Zhou Dongsheng was a poor student, he had a reference answer in his hand. When Huang Zheng, the top student, was concentrating on answering the questions, Zhou Dongsheng directly gave Huang Zheng an idea to solve the problem.
Although the answer still needs to be proven, it still caused a great shock to Huang Zheng.
Huang Zheng has only experienced this feeling from his teacher. Although Zhou Dongsheng is a little younger, Huang Zheng still regards him as his second "angel investor."
As for the valuation of 100 million US dollars, if it is only for the gaming company Xunmeng Technology, it is undoubtedly a high valuation, but everyone has other intentions.
The new social e-commerce model is the future of dream-seeking technology!
After the meal, both parties were in great spirits. The two bosses had finalized their investment intentions, and naturally there would be someone to follow up. This was when Lu Sifang could play a role.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng is good at bragging, but when it comes to specific matters, it still has to be left to professionals to control.
Before parting, Huang Zheng, who was still reluctant to leave, asked Zhou Dongsheng a question, "Dongsheng, in your opinion, how long will it take to break through the daily average of 10,000 orders for good products?"
"Before this, my junior sister was not optimistic about my model at all, saying that I couldn't achieve an average of 10,000 orders per day." Huang Zheng teased his junior sister.
Gu Pinpin, who was standing aside, said seriously: "After this conversation with Dongsheng, I retract my prejudice. I now think this model has great potential, and I can't wait to build it into a platform!"
"We have to take one step at a time and eat one bite at a time. We can look down on the enemy strategically, but we still have to take the enemy seriously tactically. Only when we succeed in promoting good products can we build the platform in the next step."
"In my opinion, it will be easy to break through 10,000 daily orders in May, and the challenge in June is to reach 100,000 or 200,000 daily orders!"
Zhou Dongsheng was also shocked by Gu Pinpin's words. If he was fooled by him, the whole project would be ruined if it went too far.
Wouldn’t that make me a “sinner for all eternity”?
It doesn't matter whether the person is guilty or not, but it is unacceptable that the cooked duck has flown away. So I can only pretend to be calm and comfort the two of them, and then look forward to a bright future.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help feeling a little tired. It was not an easy thing to fool people, let alone fool these big guys.
"Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. To achieve an average of 100,000 orders per day in just two months, this vision is still too good to be true. Even giants like Alibaba and Jingdong have not done it." Gu Pinpin shook his head rationally.
"Oh? Dongsheng's words really get my blood boiling. Let's wait and see. Two months is just a blink of an eye." Huang Zheng laughed heartily, looking extremely happy.
In Huang Zheng's mind, the importance of this meal is perhaps second only to the meal that his teacher spent 620,000 US dollars to buy the stock god's lunch and also brought himself to attend...
"Then Brother Huang and Sister Gu have to hire more people in advance, otherwise they won't be able to handle such a large number of orders." Zhou Dongsheng joked.
Then the group went their separate ways. After getting in the car, Zhou Dongsheng slumped in his chair as if relieved. He let out a long breath, but his eyes were shining.
After a lot of effort (mainly bragging), I finally managed to squeeze on this train!
Some people may ask, where does your more than 100 million yuan come from?
Of course, they would sell everything they had, including their property (stocks), to raise the 100 million! After all, this was an investment that could bring hundreds or even thousands of times the return!
Even the national liquor stocks are nothing compared to Pinxixi.
Of course, this investment can only be said to have come to a temporary end, and there will definitely be many situations that need to be dealt with in the future, but this is at least a good start!
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but reveal an exceptionally brilliant smile, and the whole person felt a little light, as if he saw billions of dollars waving at him~
…
On the other hand, Huang Zheng couldn't wait to make a transatlantic call, wanting to contact his life mentor who was far away on the other side of the ocean!
