Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 382 Two Projects
"Oh? If it's on a university campus, it does fit the usage scenario of shared bicycles that the boss mentioned. I remember when I first entered university, I bought a bicycle from a senior who had graduated..."
Lu Sifang sighed for a moment, then continued, "So , the boss is optimistic that this project can enter the society and meet the public's travel needs?"
"That's right. Although cities have cheap and fast transportation such as subways and buses, which meet the travel needs of most people, there is still the problem of the 'last mile' travel."
"For example, the distance from home to the subway, or from the subway to the company, this is the user demand. Demand naturally means there is a market. I personally am optimistic about this shared bicycle project."
"Moreover, after being dressed in the new fashion of the Internet, it may even stimulate the cycling craze. After all, users just like to put old wine in new bottles..."
"What's more, as long as it can become the preferred mode of transportation to solve the 'last mile' problem, it will have great potential in the future."
Zhou Dongsheng once again emphasized the "last mile" and spoke earnestly.
Lu Sifang was confused by Zhou Dongsheng's meaningful look, but he still flattered him out of habit: "Boss, these five simple words 'the last mile' sound catchy and are a very appropriate summary of the travel difficulties..."
Before Lu Sifang finished speaking, Zhou Dongsheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Such words about simplicity and returning to nature are not spoken by me, but by..."
As he spoke, Zhou Dongsheng stretched out his index finger, pointed upwards, and smiled meaningfully again.
"When it comes to starting a business, success or failure always depends on the right time, right place, and right people. If you only have the right place and right people, you may be able to achieve some success, but it will be difficult to achieve success. If you also have the right time and follow the trend, you will naturally have great potential."
Lu Sifang showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. Combined with Zhou Dongsheng's actions, it was self-evident what this "time" referred to. It definitely did not refer to the weather.
Originally, Lu Sifang believed that the shared bicycle project could only be considered a small project. Even if it was disguised as an Internet project, a bicycle was still a bicycle.
Even in the capital world, which is good at speculation, a mere bike- sharing project cannot be hyped up to a sky-high price. However, after Zhou Dongsheng pointed out the point of "right time"...
Lu Sifang immediately understood Zhou Dongsheng's "deep meaning". With this background, the shared bicycle project suddenly became a rare good project!
"I understand, boss. I will lead the team to Beijing for inspection immediately!" After figuring out the reason, Lu Sifang couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
After all, the saying that time is money is very appropriate in the investment world. When it comes to investment, it is often the winner who takes all. If you are too late, you may not only get some benefits, but you may also lose everything.
Therefore, speed is of the essence, the faster the better.
"Okay! As far as I know, there are quite a few companies in Beijing that are engaged in the shared bicycle project, but I am only optimistic about two of them, and I will try to win the A round of both of them."
"I'll leave this matter entirely to you. I just want to hear a good result. I hope you won't let me down."
Zhou Dongsheng said earnestly that after all, shared bicycles are still in their infancy and have not received the attention of bigwigs and capital, so this is the best time to steal the tower.
If he can't even do this, Zhou Dongsheng will doubt Lu Sifang's ability. In that case, Zhou Dongsheng might as well find a headhunter to find a suitable one.
After all, as long as you can afford the price, there is no shortage of talent.
Hearing this, Lu Sifang patted his chest and said confidently, "Boss, don't worry, I'll take care of it. If I can't even get such a simple project, I won't be able to serve you like a slave."
"Okay, if it's done well, I can consider the equity incentive issue."
Zhou Dongsheng showed a bright smile, holding a big stick in one hand and a sweet date in the other. Although it was simple and crude, it was effective.
Lu Sifang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. After all, although Dongsheng Investment was established not long ago, the money invested alone has exceeded hundreds of millions!
The net assets are so high, not to mention the unlimited possibilities of these projects in the future. The equity incentives in the hands of such a promising investment company...
That value is totally immeasurable!
Lu Sifang once thought that after moving gold bricks in the investment industry for so many years, his heart had become calm and he would no longer tremble because of those astronomical figures.
However, when I thought that a little bit of these gold bricks might belong to me, my heart started beating wildly.
Lu Sifang quickly calmed down, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Boss, just give me your orders. Even if these two projects are difficult, I will use all my life's knowledge to tackle these two tough tasks."
Otherwise, painting a rosy picture is the best way to motivate. Zhou Dongsheng is very satisfied with Lu Sifang's enthusiastic reaction. He has even guaranteed it by gnawing on bones. It is obvious that he will carry out the "dog and horse service" to the end.
Zhou Dongsheng smiled and patted Lu Sifang on the shoulder. "It's enough that you have this thought. Now let me tell you. The first project is on the Peking University campus. It was jointly created by several students from Peking University. The name is OFO, which vividly displays the shape of a bicycle..."
"There is another project, founded by an automotive journalist, called Mobike Technology. Her many years of experience in the automotive media industry have enabled her to accumulate a wide network of contacts and a natural advantage in capital financing, so you need to put in a little more thought..."
"However, I have already told you so much, I believe you also understand how to convince the other party. This 'last mile' is the best way to put it. If you are not clear, learn about it yourself."
"I won't say any more. I'll be leaving for Yangcheng soon. I'll be waiting for your good news."
After saying that , Zhou Dongsheng raised his glass. This sumptuous meal could be considered a reward for Lu Sifang and his group.
"Okay boss."
Lu Sifang said no more. No matter what he said, he still had to rely on facts. So he raised his glass and clinked it with Zhou Dongsheng, then drank it all in one gulp, as if he had issued a military order.
Afterwards, after having a good meal and a few drinks, Lu Sifang and his party officially set off for Beijing to discuss the shared bicycle project.
On the way, Lu Sifang took out his mobile phone and looked up the origin of the phrase "the last kilometer". When he saw the answer, he couldn't help but reveal an expected expression.
Sure enough, now that the right time has come, it is time for him to fight for the right place and people. Lu Sifang is very confident about this.
On the other side, Zhou Dongsheng and Li Jiana also leisurely came to the airport to wait for the flight, ready to set off back to Guangzhou.
After all, I have done everything I should do in Shanghai, and there is really nothing worth staying here for.
As for the game company Mihayo, it is still in the stage of concentrating on the development of "Honkai Impact 3". As an outsider, Zhou Dongsheng really has nothing to say about this group of technology geeks who are changing the world.
Instead of wasting time, he might as well continue to develop the live broadcast and short video business. In terms of content production, Zhou Dongsheng has many mature ideas in his mind waiting to be realized.
