Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 301 I Planted a Seed
Of course, there are still many weapons in Zhou Dongsheng's arsenal, but if they were all taken out at once, their value would not be reflected.
Let’s start by taking this “double chin challenge” and test the waters in the short video industry.
Moreover, the second half of 2015 is not the beginning of the first year of short videos as I know it. If I act too hastily, I will repeat the same mistakes as Tengda and suffer a series of failures due to some unforeseen circumstances...
Wouldn't that be a loss? Although I have a certain ability to resist risks, it is impossible for me to swallow the "bitter fruit" lightly like Tengda did.
So, just give it a try through Musical.ly first, even if you fail, it’s no big deal.
At this point, the investment is a done deal, and all that remains is to put it into writing.
This kind of thing should naturally be left to the subordinates, Zhou Dongsheng immediately stood up and said.
"Then let Mr. Lu take care of the rest of the matters. I'm going to have a physical examination today, so I'll leave you now."
Upon hearing this, Yang Luyu quickly said, "Mr. Zhou, are you feeling unwell? I know someone at the Magic City Hospital. I can help you contact them if you need help..."
"It's nothing, I'm just doing a routine physical checkup with my friends. After all, health is the capital of revolution."
Zhou Dongsheng explained casually.
"Of course, of course. Mr. Zhou is so young but he has already had this kind of ideological awareness. I must learn from this."
Yang Luyu couldn't help but laugh.
The subordinates standing by couldn't help but secretly complain in their hearts, the two big bosses' words are very high-sounding, but it's us employees who are working so hard...
It is we who should pay attention to our health.
As expected, after seeing Zhou Dongsheng and his group off, Yang Luyu said in high spirits: "Let's have people from all departments come to a meeting. We need to adjust our strategy."
"Also, make the news of the financing public, and inform Kingsoft Cheetah at the same time. We have to work overtime to get the domestic version out..."
"By the way, let the overseas operations organize this 'double chin challenge'. I can't wait to see the results..."
"At the same time, the recruitment of domestic version and operation personnel should be put on the agenda. We have to speed up the pace of expanding our territory!"
"As long as the company is on the right track, we are all the company's veterans. I, Yang Luyu, promise that I will never let the old employees who have worked hard for the company suffer any loss!"
Following Yang Luyu's impassioned speech, the aroma of chicken soup spread to all the employees, as if applying a group buff. It was not known whether it was useful or not, but Yang Luyu drank it first to show his respect!
…
After leaving Wenxue Network, Zhou Dongsheng called Liu and asked, "Where are you? Why can't I see you?"
As early as when the cooperation was almost discussed, Zhou Dongsheng had already informed Liu of the location and asked him to come over first.
As he was talking, a black commercial vehicle drove over, and the window rolled down, revealing Liu's coquettish pig head, "Hey, here I am."
"Let's go. The hospital has already made an appointment. We just reached an investment agreement today. I'll cover the cost of the physical examination!" Zhou Dongsheng said generously with a wave of his hand.
"Well, wouldn't it be nice to treat me to a good meal? Why do you have to take me for a physical examination? I weigh 200 pounds and I'm very strong, so there's definitely no problem." Liu said in a somewhat stern tone.
With his body shape, he doesn't look very healthy. On the contrary, some of his accumulated problems may have turned into a disease...
"Is it better to have a good meal once or to have good meals every time? I think you know the priorities. Stop talking nonsense and let's go!" Zhou Dongsheng said without further ado.
Liu was very unhappy. Although he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, no one would not care about his own health.
If Zhou Dongsheng had not mentioned it, even though Liu's pockets were bulging, he could only think about , and the word "physical examination" had never appeared in his mind.
After hearing what Zhou Dongsheng said, Liu became curious about his physical condition, but he was just being stubborn out of habit .
The group arrived at a famous private hospital in Shanghai. In Shanghai, where money makes the world go round, the power of money was fully exerted.
Under the guidance of the soft-spoken nurse, the two experienced meticulous service throughout the whole process. It was really impressive that you get what you pay for.
…
On the other hand, after receiving the information sent by Wenxue Network, Kingsoft Cheetah was a little surprised. It did not expect that the seed it sowed casually at the beginning would take root and sprout so quickly.
Even in less than half a year, this valuation has increased nearly 10 times, which is enough to prove how optimistic Dongsheng Capital, the new entrant, is about the music short video market.
The capital market is also a place where people carry people. If Wenxue Network has always been ignored, then Kingsoft Cheetah may not pay too much attention to the seeds it has sown...
After all, in the capital market, whether it is a startup failure or an investment failure, it is as common as eating and drinking.
As for investment, if half of the investment can be recovered, it is not considered a loss. As long as there is a project that can generate excess returns, it is enough for an institution to make a fortune!
Now that new capital has entered the market and a PE valuation of nearly 10 times has been given, this is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Kingsoft Cheetah.
In this new round of financing, Kingsoft Cheetah will certainly choose to follow the investment instead of cashing out. After all, it is not easy to catch a potential stock, and Cheetah will not let go easily.
Of course, Kingsoft Cheetah will not choose to increase its holdings. It is enough as long as it can maintain its existing share.
As for the reason, as I said before, it is very normal for a startup company with a good prospect to die suddenly. It only takes one mistake to cross the policy red line...
Therefore, Kingsoft Cheetah only made the decision to follow the investment, continuing to rely on the Wenxue Network project and waiting to see the future of the short video industry.
The next day, Wenxue Network announced that it was conducting its Series B financing. The startup company, which had only been established for a year, had a valuation of US$50 million. For most people, this was already a success.
Dongsheng Capital's series of major moves have also caused a stir in the domestic capital market, especially under the attention of some interested people.
In time, when all the seeds sown by Dongsheng Capital blossom and bear fruit, or even grow into towering trees, this wave will surely turn into a huge storm sweeping across the capital market.
However, the seeds in the capital market are relatively precious, and the process of blossoming and bearing fruit is relatively slow.
In contrast, the seeds Zhou Dongsheng planted in Yi Nian Media have quietly begun to take root and sprout.
