Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 310: Attack Project
However, the first year has not yet arrived and the time is not yet ripe. This investment is just a nail that Zhou Dongsheng temporarily buried in the short video industry. It will develop slowly first and there is no need to rush.
During the days Zhou Dongsheng spent in Shanghai, apart from being "happy and reluctant to leave", he was naturally not idle.
After all, in addition to the Wenxue Network project, Dongsheng Investment has two other major projects that are thriving in Shanghai.
Especially on the side of Xunmeng Technology, after the entry of the "four-in-one" angel investors, the e-commerce platform project has become a top priority project for Xunmeng Technology.
The entire company worked overtime, and in the entire office building, only the employees of Xunmeng Technology worked day and night with the lights on, working hard for the launch of the Pinxixi platform.
Even senior executives like Huang Zheng and Gu Pinpin have set an example by working overtime in the company to catch up with progress. Under such circumstances where the competition is so fierce that it can't be expanded any further, the progress of the Pinxixi platform is naturally advancing by leaps and bounds.
When Zhou Dongsheng visited, Huang Zheng said proudly: "The platform has entered the final testing and improvement stage, and it is expected to be officially launched in late August!"
As he spoke, his whole face was radiant, and there was a gleam in Huang Zheng's eyes. Otherwise, why do people say that career is the best Viagra for men?
"Seeing Brother Huang working so hard, what else can I say as an investor? I can only lie down and wait for you to take me off." Zhou Dongsheng joked with a smile.
"Hey, don't talk about me. You're not restless either. Not only did you start a gaming company with Brother Ding, but you also invested in a short video company?"
Huang Zheng patted Zhou Dongsheng on the shoulder and said in amazement that, rather than being passionate about starting a business , he preferred the sense of accomplishment of turning a blueprint into reality from nothing.
Zhou Dongsheng seems to have followed his teacher's path of becoming an investor ahead of time. He is extremely passionate about investing, and each of his investments is very large.
Combined with some of Zhou Dongsheng’s insights and words, he seems like a very sophisticated investor, and even has some overlap with the image of a teacher.
It is this overly young face in front of him that gives Huang Zheng a huge contrast. Compared with the image of a seasoned investor, the image of a gambler is obviously more suitable for this young man.
"Social media and e-commerce are ever-changing hot areas on the Internet, and they have always been my area of interest. Whether it's Huang Ge's new social e-commerce, or games, or short videos, they all fall into this category. I just invest in what I'm interested in."
Zhou Dongsheng shrugged his shoulders and told the truth in a serious manner.
"I just want you to be careful, this investment is risky and it's no joke. Don't lose everything you have," Huang Zheng said jokingly.
"It's okay. With Brother Huang's investment, even if I go bankrupt, I can make a comeback at any time." Zhou Dongsheng said confidently.
"You really think highly of me. I can only try my best not to disappoint you as an investor." Huang Zheng said confidently.
"By the way, Brother Huang, since we want to build a new social e-commerce, this crucial social attribute is also of utmost importance. Although we already have four angel investors, this social gap has not been filled yet..."
Zhou Dongsheng thought of this key point and mentioned it casually. After all, the rise of Pinxixi must rely on Tengda, the key engine.
After all, the model of promoting good products was originally based on the social platform WeChat and accumulated a huge number of users.
Although the Pinxixi platform is newly established and independent, and can rely on promoting good products to attract traffic, it still cannot do without the support of social media if it wants to grow completely.
Therefore, Tenda is the most important piece of the puzzle for Pinxixi, not the only one.
Moreover, in the face of repeated setbacks in the e-commerce field, Tenda is in urgent need of cultivating e-commerce platforms to supplement its diversification strategy and at the same time to compete with Alibaba. Jingdong is one of them, and Pinxixi is naturally the second.
“Needless to say, when ‘Push Good Products’ became popular, Tengda had already expressed its interest. When Pinxixi launches the next round of financing, Tengda will naturally join in.”
"Now that I think about it, the anti-dilution clause I promised you seemed a bit hasty."
Huang Zheng mocked with pretended regret, which was also an affirmation of Zhou Dongsheng's "great courage".
After all, when Zhou Dongsheng first joined the game, [Tuihaohuo] was just in its infancy, and it still relied on a large amount of funds brought by Zhou Dongsheng, plus a strategic analysis of "social e-commerce" and "downstream markets".
Huang Zheng cleared the fog on the road ahead and completely determined this direction, which allowed [Push Good Goods] to take off. In just a few months, it accumulated millions of traffic, creating a precedent in the industry...
In Huang Zheng's view, this anti-dilution regulation is just a way to match Zhou Dongsheng's courage.
Moreover, under the AB share structure of Xunmeng Technology, it will not affect Huang Zheng's control over the company, so this anti-dilution regulation has little impact on him and can only be regarded as a joke.
“Now it seems that I didn’t expect that my first investment would catch a big fish like Brother Huang. Could it be that my investment career is going to be like this, with my debut being the peak and everything going downhill from then on?” Zhou Dongsheng also joked with a smile.
After a pleasant conversation, Zhou Dongsheng was also "driven away" by Huang Zheng. He didn't even have his meal and continued to rush the launch of the Pinxixi platform.
Zhou Dongsheng was amazed by the attitude of this workaholic. He was too ambitious. Otherwise, starting a business was not suitable for him.
As for Mihayo, Zhou Dongsheng naturally did not favor one over the other. Since he was already there, he naturally went to take a look.
Cai Haoyu naturally welcomed the investor warmly. If it weren't for the large amount of funds injected by Zhou Dongsheng, he would not have the confidence to re-produce "Honkai Impact 3".
It is precisely because of the re-polishing that Cai Haoyu is more confident about the culmination of the "Honkai Impact 3" trilogy, which will inevitably become the representative work of Mihayo mobile games.
In order to reassure the investor Zhou Dongsheng, Cai Haoyu naturally had to take Zhou Dongsheng to take a good look at the related work behind the scenes.
For Zhou Dongsheng, who knew nothing about it, this process was just like a cursory tour. However, Mihayo's technical accumulation in the field of two-dimensional mobile games is still very solid.
Unfortunately, Zhou Dongsheng has never played the "Honkai Impact 3" mobile game. Apart from knowing that the future "Genshin Impact" will be popular all over the world, he knows very little about Mihayo, so he can't help much.
This also made Zhou Dongsheng feel a little guilty about getting something for free, but after all, when it comes to mobile games, Zhuchang is an expert.
Although I can't help much, I can be a leader in resource integration.
After all, the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is not limited to the PC game market. The mobile game market is even larger, and its profitability may even surpass that of PC games. This is also the historical trend of the future.
And maybe MihaYo can also be involved in the research and development of this chicken-eating mobile game to achieve continuous improvement.
