Chapter 2505: Ambition
Xiao Qi had dinner at Feng Kexin's villa.
Feng Liangyun, Zhuang Ningyue, and Feng Kelun are all here, and of course the little pistachio - Ping'er is indispensable.
Pinger, who is 9 years old this year, has grown a little taller than last year, holding her sister in a serious manner to coax her, just like a little adult.
It's just that she is still so clingy to Xiao Qi, most of the time she will sit in Xiao Qi's arms, talking to Xiao Qi about the little things in her daily life in a coquettish voice.
Xiao Qi has always cherished his daughter's thoughts very much.
Because when children grow up, they usually won't tell their parents such things anymore.
Originally, Pinger said that Xiao Qi would accompany her to play games in the room after dinner, and that she would also sing and dance for her father, but Feng Kexin directly dragged her daughter into the room to do homework, so angry that she could hang up her mouth. gourd.
Feng Kexin naturally wanted Xiao Qi to guide her younger brother's company affairs. After all, Feng Kelun had worked so hard and felt so entangled in her heart during this period of time.
With the continuous success of his career, Feng Kelun is now completely different from a year ago. He is full of high spirits. On newspapers and magazines, there are often his photos and his photo sharing company.
Thinking about it, if his ex-girlfriend saw Feng Kelun's current beauty, she would definitely regret breaking up with him!
"Karen, tell me about the recent situation and your plans!"
Sitting on the sofa, drinking the weak tea made by the servant, Xiao Qi asked in a harmonious voice.
"Yes, brother-in-law." Feng Kelun nodded, "Yesterday, the number of users of Meitu Sharing has exceeded 300 million, of which 100 million are monthly active users. It's a pity that they didn't enter the Chinese mainland market, otherwise they would easily break through 500 million. 100 million users is very simple! But this is not bad now, our 100 million users has brought us a lot of room for valuation!
In particular, we actively invite celebrities to open accounts on Meitu Sharing. Post a photo of yourself. The current Internet development is a major trend, so there are many European and American movie stars, football stars, and celebrities. I also started to try on Meitu Sharing, and the most popular one is of course Michael Jackson, whom my brother-in-law invited.
Also because of the increasing star effect, the number of users who choose Meitu is also increasing. Just a few days ago, Facebook proposed to me a wholly-owned acquisition intention. The valuation is 3.5 billion U.S. dollars, of which 1.5 billion is cash, and the remaining 2 billion U.S. dollars are exchanged for Facebook shares.
In addition to a group of European and American companies acquired, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is also contacting me frequently. Now the Hong Kong stock market has been greatly affected by the financial crisis, and the Hang Seng Index has continued to fall, and it has been rainy and rainy. It is more uncomfortable to see the decline of the stock market than the sudden plunge. Therefore, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange wants to find a good company to list in the next six months, and then boost everyone's confidence. It is also the place to keep the Hang Seng Index. "
Xiao Qi nodded slightly, "What do you think about being acquired or going public?"
"I don't like being acquired. Because it's my own business. I don't like going public either. The purpose of going public is to obtain development funds. I have brother-in-law, you, a major shareholder, to invest, and there is no shortage of funds." Feng Kelun said stubbornly, " So I decided to continue doing it so seriously, even if it is just a private company, we must make Meitu Sharing better."
"However, if a company wants to grow and develop, it must have a commercialization process, otherwise it will only rely on burning money. Without a stable source of income, all success is like a moon in the mirror. There is no foundation." Xiao Qi said.
"I've thought about this seriously too." Feng Kelun said, "So far, there are no other good examples for reference, but in terms of the successful experience of Facebook and Twitter, I can think of two solutions. The first is to learn Facebook Doing your own social advertising network will make this process very difficult, because Facebook is still figuring it out. Then you will learn from Twitter and charge for access to data streams. This is also Twitter’s main income now. Letting them transfer to profit is also a better way.”
"Simply put, it's advertising and service charges." Xiao Qi concluded for him.
"Yes." Feng Kelun nodded, "but so far I don't plan to do this. I plan to start commercialization when Meitu Sharing reaches 500 million registered users and monthly active users exceed 300 million. Of course, brother-in-law will still need your money to come in at that time, our management will moderately reduce our own shares, and we can’t always ask you to invest money, but we don’t pay anything.”
"Don't worry about that, your work ability is still very good, the program of Meitu sharing is constantly improving, the server has never been down, and the private album is also very good at keeping secrets, not inferior to those experts in the United States." Xiao Qi said, "Not only It is money that counts as an investment, and of course brainpower can also be counted as an investment, so unless it is an IPO, there is no need to dilute the shares.”
"The engineers in Hong Kong are actually very capable, and many of the Silicon Valley students are also overseas students from Hong Kong. Now that our Meitu sharing is so popular, it is normal to recruit suitable candidates." Feng Kelun sighed, "As for talking and doing Well done, that's brother-in-law too, your plan is very detailed, you just need to follow it, you don't have to think about it at all."
"It's one thing to understand it, but it's another thing to do it well." Xiao Qi smiled and shook his hand, "We won't talk about that, if you want to apply for funds in the next step, the review must follow the company's rules , I hope you can do better so that you can get more research and development funds."
"Okay, I will work hard!" Feng Kelun nodded seriously.
He is very satisfied with Xiao Qi's official business.
After all, Meitu Sharing is Xiao Qi's idea, if he invests money in it at any time without asking why, it will make him feel a little childish.
Now everything is done according to the rules and regulations, but it can reflect the role he plays in this company.
Now the headquarters of Meitu Sharing has moved to Haibin Road, Kwun Tong. There is a building there, which is a birth gift from Li Xiaochao and Yan Chenglong to Baoer. Renting an office building was also inappropriate, so I lent the building to my younger brother.
In fact, Feng Kexin wanted to give it to Feng Kelun. After all, Li Shaozhi gave her younger brother a commercial building in Causeway Bay, so why couldn't she give it to her brother?
But Feng Kelun resolutely refused, this is a gift from someone else to his little niece, how could an uncle take it over?
However, renting is possible. The renovation started in March this year, and now it has been relocated. The entire building has a very dazzling sense of technology, which looks very pleasing to the eye, and is quite praised by designers and ordinary people—needless to say Well, this thing was done by Feng Kexin again. She invited a professional designer from the United States to come over and spend a lot of money to create the headquarters of Meitu Sharing.
Compared with before, Feng Kelun is now very ambitious in his career.
He enjoys the taste of being sought after by others, enjoys the feeling of being followed by reporters who want to interview every day, and also enjoys the fun brought by the company's growth.
But he didn't lose his head. Feng Kelun clearly understood that his reliance was not on Xiao Qi, but on Meitu Sharing Company in his hand.
Only when the Meitu sharing company becomes stronger and stronger, he will continue to enjoy this kind of life that is sought after by everyone, and if there is no Meitu sharing company, he will at most be a rich boy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.
So Feng Kelun is doing his own job very seriously, basically staying in the company for 10 hours a day, basically not taking much rest seven days a week.
That is because Feng Kelun himself worked so hard, and many engineers and senior managers under him also dare not slack off.
The current Meitu sharing company is like this. Although the salary is not the highest, Feng Kelun promised to give them the corresponding shares as a reward; although it is not the most valuable in Hong Kong, it is the most concerned among all companies in Hong Kong The most popular companies have become emerging technology companies that lead fashion.
Such a great sense of honor made them hold their heads up when they walked outside.
There are many people in Hong Kong who make a fortune doing business, but very few people can make money in this high-tech and become rich.
Nowadays, many newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong have finally countered the examples of Taiwan people who often satirize them. High-tech companies such as Meitu Sharing can be established and developed in Hong Kong. How dare you say that we do not have the soil to cultivate electronic technology?
Many people are envious of these elites, because they have caught up with the best Internet era. Xiao Qi's investment in their company has already greatly increased their valuation, let alone after they grow and grow, the valuation There is also the possibility of further increases.
But to be honest, none of them, including Feng Kelun, have thought about making a fortune. What they care about is solving one problem after another, achieving breakthroughs one after another, and increasing users one after another.
When a company is just established and developed, it is similar to the concept when a country is first established.
They all have the spirit of forging ahead, and they all work hard regardless of gains and losses, just to realize their ambitions.
After Hong Kong people get serious, their drive to work is also admirable. If you don’t know much about it, then you can basically know how hard they work if you look at how TVB TVB’s artists work.
In any case, Hong Kong can develop to where it is today, apart from the biggest reason is geographical advantages and policy advantages, their own efforts cannot be ignored. (to be continued ~^~)
