Chapter 2252 The Goal of Starting a Business

After Ping'er came back, there was naturally another burst of excitement.

Although Feng Liangyun and Zhuang Ningyue were somewhat displeased with their daughter being Xiao Qi's concubine, but now that their daughter was about to give birth to Xiao Qi's child, what could they say?

Besides, Xiao Qi loves Ping'er very much, and takes good care of his brother-in-law Feng Kelun, which makes them feel very relieved, and the unhappiness in their hearts will naturally decrease.

The most important thing is that the daughter herself is very happy, with a smile on her face all day long. Compared with the melancholy and melancholy in her previous married life, she is like two people.

So the attitude of the old couple was not eager, but when they were talking and chatting, they didn't show Xiao Qi's face.

Hearing that Xiao Qi was coming, Feng Kelun hurried back to his sister's house for dinner at night.

He and his parents live in another hilltop villa area, and he often comes to visit his sister on weekdays.

When it comes to the relationship between siblings, the relationship between him and Feng Kexin is no worse than that between Li Shaozhi and Li Shaoying.

Feng Kelun didn't have any friendship with Xiao Qi. Originally, Feng Kelun was quite grateful to this brother-in-law when he rescued his sister in the casino.

But later I found out that this brother-in-law was actually on a few boats... No, there were at least a dozen boats. Feng Kelun immediately felt disgusted with Xiao Qi. If he didn't know that his sister couldn't leave Xiao Qi, he would have done everything possible to instigate her to leave up.

The relationship between the two has eased because of the Meitu sharing software.

Feng Kelun's idea collided with Xiao Qi's registered patent Instagram, and then Xiao Qi, who had registered all the patents, generously handed over this software to Feng Kelun to take care of it.

Now the number of registered users of Meitu Sharing has exceeded 40 million, an increase of 10 million compared to a month ago. This kind of user growth rate will not end in 2009. Can break through 100 million.

Compared with the expansion speed of WeChat before, Meitu Sharing looks a lot worse.

But if you compare carefully, the practicability of WeChat is far greater than that of Meitu sharing, and if anyone in the family or in a circle of friends uses WeChat, he will definitely pull his family, Friends and classmates also use WeChat, so the number of WeChat users naturally snowballs.

The target group of Meitu sharing is only young people. Especially young people aged 18 to 30, so if the registered users of this age group can exceed 100 million. That's a big deal.

Young people in this age group are the best choices no matter in terms of advertising effect, leading the trend, or spending power—even among the payment items of WeChat, those who spend the most money are the best. young people of this age.

Therefore, the optimism towards Meitu Sharing is increasing day by day, coupled with Xiao Qi's investment as a call. I don't know how many people want to get a share of it.

Feng Kelun was not in a hurry.

The network base stations and services in Hong Kong were already very cheap when they first came to Hong Kong. So far, Xiao Qi has only used half of the 300 million US dollars given to him, which is enough to meet the bandwidth and server needs of 100 million users, so he is not bad at all. money.

The second is that Feng Kelun's vision has improved now.

When his eyes jumped out of Hong Kong, a tiny place, Feng Kelun felt that the world was too big, and his previous entrepreneurial dreams were too small to be worth mentioning.

To be honest, when Goldman Sachs gave a valuation of US$1.8 billion in February. Faced with the investment company that came to him immediately, Feng Kelun, including his staff, was tempted to use 200 million U.S. dollars to acquire a 15% stake in Meitu.

If you sell 15% of the shares. Xiao Qi originally gave Feng Kelun 20% of the shares for him to distribute freely, and if he sold 15%, there would be 5% left. With 200 million US dollars in hand, Feng Kelun can get 150 million US dollars himself, which is not a small fortune.

But Feng Kelun quickly remembered Xiao Qi’s words relayed by his sister, saying that his brother-in-law believed that Meitu Sharing could reach a value of at least 5 billion US dollars, and then his sister asked him to work hard and strive to become a super rich man with a net worth of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Thinking that Xiao Qi was so optimistic about Meitu Sharing, Feng Kelun quickly chose to persevere and rejected the offer.

Feng Kelun's 20% shares have not been distributed yet, so the other employees are very greedy. But there is no way, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

But now it's different. Because during the Spring Festival, with the continued popularity of Meitu Sharing in the APP STORE, as well as the improvement of various functions, and the continuous update of the version, everyone can see the solid foundation of Meitu Sharing, and it will naturally spread ten or ten times. continue to bring them users.

The increase of users represents the increase of commercial value. At the beginning of March, the Zheng family foundation wanted to use 300 million US dollars to purchase 15% of the shares, and then Li Xiaochao’s private fund proposed 600 million US dollars for 20% The price of the shares has been rising all the way, which seems to make Meitu Sharing the hottest Internet company.

Commentators feel that Li Xiaochao has no intention of raising the price for Meitu Sharing, because Meitu Sharing is far from reaching the value of 3 billion US dollars.

But it is undeniable that if it continues like this, by the time Meitu Sharing has 100 million active users, its value will definitely exceed 3 billion U.S. dollars, and it will truly become a hot first-class Internet company.

After eating, knowing that her younger brother had something to discuss with her husband, Feng Kexin took her daughter to take a bath and rest. The servant made a cup of tea and placed it in front of them.

"Mr. Xiao, I don't know why you don't let me enter the mainland market?" Feng Kelun said straight to the point, "You know, the young people in the mainland will like Meitu to share such cool things, and they will also strongly like it if they are in a strip of water. Support our own products! A big market with a population of 1.5 billion, the market imagination is limitless!"

If he wanted to develop the markets of developed countries before, and mainly provided downloads on the app stores of developed countries, then Feng Kelun, who has become more ambitious, wondered why Xiao Qi didn't let Huaguo's app stores put Meitu on the shelves.

It is a great achievement for Meitu to win even 100 million mainland users. The consumption power of mainlanders is not weak.

"The reason is very simple." Xiao Qi smiled, "Why Facebook can't be used in the Mainland, that's why Meitu Sharing can't enter the Mainland."

"Is this really the case!?"

Feng Kelun frowned.

He's not an idiot, of course he knows that Xiao Qi banned him from promoting Meitu sharing in the Mainland China market from the very beginning, there must be Xiao Qi's reasons.

He pondered many reasons, and this one is the one he thinks the most likely.

Because there are many things to be restricted in the mainland, although Feng Kelun doesn't understand, he has no way to influence this matter.

Now that Xiao Qi had confirmed the reason, Feng Kelun couldn't help asking again, "Could it be that you can't do anything about it?"

Although he can't understand Xiao Qi's flair, Feng Kelun knows how influential Xiao Qi is in mainland China. Among other things, the more than 60 billion yuan donated during the disaster is enough to make Xiao Qi Life will be smooth and rainy all my life, and I won't encounter any troubles.

"The general policy of the country will not be changed because of a certain company and software." Xiao Qi shook his head, "There is no need to talk about this matter. If you talk too much, you don't understand it, and I don't understand it either. ... But Keren, the European and American markets, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Australia markets, with a population of more than 2 billion, are enough for you to do."

"That's the only way to go." Seeing Xiao Qi's refusal so flatly, Feng Kelun knew that it was impossible, so he couldn't help being a little frustrated.

Xiao Qi smiled and didn't explain much, "With the current market, Facebook can achieve the current valuation of tens of billions of dollars. Don't you have confidence?"

"Of course!" Feng Kelun said immediately, "I remember you said that Meitu Sharing can achieve a share of 5 billion US dollars, and I will definitely do it!"

"What about after reaching 5 billion US dollars?" Xiao Qi asked.

"what do you mean……"

"Could it be that after reaching 5 billion US dollars, you will operate it and go public, and then enjoy the happiness brought by making a fortune, is this your goal?" Xiao Qi asked.

Feng Kelun was silent for a while, and asked back: "Isn't this wrong? Isn't that why you do business?"

Xiao Qi shook his head and said: "During this time, because of the strong development of Facebook, many people urged Zuckerberg to go public, but what he said was that he wanted to make a software that truly connects the world, not just for money. In his For me, the most important thing is to make my internet empire sustainable for a long time.”

Feng Kelun was thoughtful, "You mean, I need to truly make the sharing of Meitu my life's work, instead of leaving the follow-up after making a lot of money?"

"What you think is up to you." Xiao Qi said, "All I can do is give you a suggestion."

"However, Meitu Sharing is such a simple software, can it really develop for decades?" Feng Kelun asked.

"As long as you do it seriously, nothing is impossible." Xiao Qi shrugged, "Unless you don't have confidence and can't keep going."

"Why can't I?" Feng Kelun's expression became resolute, "Just wait and see! Meitu Sharing will definitely become a good software that will last forever!"

Before talking with Xiao Qi today, Feng Kelun was a little confused.

Because the Meitu sharing software is too simple, and the profit model is not clear, in his opinion, like Xiao Qi did with Foursquare, it is best to make money and leave after it grows.

But hearing Xiao Qi's meaning and feeling Zuckerberg's arrogance, Feng Kelun suddenly felt that his ideals were too small and not up to the mark at all.

That being the case, let yourself fight for once!

No matter what the final result is, as long as you do it seriously, even if you fail in the end, it will be a brilliant entrepreneurial life!

Feng Kelun clenched his fists, his eyes were full of fighting spirit! (to be continued ~^~)
