Chapter 300 Fate, Wonderful (14)
Lanzhou Kai invited Yang Yi out to drink tea in a private club in which he owned shares, and complained as soon as they met: "Xiao Yang, you are so unkind! You made me lose my appetite that day, but let it go. It's not that I asked people to do business research, and I didn't even know that you had such a big industry when I saw your name!"
Yang Yi was stunned for a moment. He knew that Lanzhou Kai was doing an investment survey of Internet companies, but he didn't expect that his own company would be on the list.
Yang Yi didn't want Lanzhou Kai to know before, worried that he would doubt his motives. But he did not expect the consulting company to recommend him to Lanzhou Kai.
It's really fate, it's amazing!
"Sahara Online Mall?" Yang Yi asked.
Lanzhou Kai showed a surprised expression: "Sahara is also yours? Isn't that the business of a boss named Fu?"
The consulting company first asked him to invest in the Sahara Online Mall, and Lanzhou Kai also entrusted an investment bank to negotiate with Fu Jun, but the price Fu Jun offered was a bit high. .
"I'm just a small shareholder in it, but you're not referring to Sahara Online Mall, what are you referring to?" Made a mistake, Yang Yi smiled awkwardly.
"Weibo!" Lanzhou Kai said with his eyes wide open.
Yang Yi really didn't think that Weibo, a product that was still in its infancy, was actually taken care of by consulting companies. It seems that the vision of people at the elite level in this world cannot be underestimated!
Now Weibo does have a certain influence. The number of registrations of tens of millions of people and the actual users are about one million. Because of the increase in investment, Yang Yi has now begun to let Mao Peifu set up a company to combine Weibo and Facebook. Integrated into a company, the company name is registered, it is called "Houlang Technology Company".
The meaning of the back waves may not be understood by people in this world, but Yang Yi knows very well that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and this company wants to become the last back waves on the beach...
On the road to formalization, Yang Yi naturally wants to hire a professional professional manager to steer the "back waves". After the company is established, Mao Peifu will step back to the second line and study while working as a manager of the personnel department.
I have to say that Mao Peifu is indeed a very good management talent, but he still lacks some experience in the operation of large companies. Yang Yi asked her to retreat to advance, and also wanted to focus on cultivating her. If Mao Peifu shows the level that Yang Yi wants to see in the future, Yang Yi may not let her go further.
Moreover, Yang Yi did not break his promise and signed a new contract with her who had done a lot of work in the early stage. The contract lasted for four years. If Mao Peifu still holds an important position in Houlang after four years, then Yang Yi will give her 3% of the original share reward.
That's a lot!
It's a bit far off, now Lanzhou Kai wants to invest in Yang Yi's Weibo - he hasn't heard the news about the establishment of "Houlang".
"The advice my investment advisor gave me was to acquire Weibo, because social networks have great potential for development. But since it's Xiao Yang's company, I won't do it. If you have money, let's make money together!" Lanzhou Kai said with a hearty smile, "I'll give you the funds, you can speed up the development, what do you think?"
Lanzhou Kai used a negotiating tone, obviously he didn't want to affect their relationship with Yang Yi because of this matter.
However, Yang Yi frowned: "Brother Lan, let me tell you the truth! Microbroadcasting is actually an unprofitable project. Whether it is in the early stage or in the later stage, it requires constant capital investment. In terms of income, I haven't thought of a particularly good profit model..."
Of course, about the profit model, Yang Yi still has an idea, but what he said is not wrong. Weibo is indeed not easy to achieve profitability. Even if it is the scumbag of the previous life, it will take more than five years to turn losses into profits. , and the secret to turning losses into profits is that it captured the short videos that were on the rise at the time and the online celebrity economic outlet with live broadcasts as the carrier.
Yang Yi did this micro-broadcast. Although he said that he could sell at a good price in the future, the main purpose was really not to make money!
"So if you invest in Weibo, it is better to invest in Sahara. This online mall is already the largest online shopping platform in China, but this market is far from being developed. Think about the billions of people in the country, if there are one in ten , that is, about 100 million people are shopping on the Sahara, how terrifying is this cash flow?" Yang Yi broke the core profit model of the Sahara online mall.
Yes, Sahara will not make as much money from customers as the newly created online shopping platforms on the single gross profit of the product, but he can use the low price advantage of the product to attract more customers and harvest more orders. Higher sales also allow them to have lower restocking costs and longer checkout cycles.
The accumulated cash flow allows them to do more things, such as making some quick-money investments.
But Yang Yi temporarily restricted Fu Jun's practice, and let him use these funds to expand the scale of Sahara, such as building a logistics team, such as improving service quality, such as more advertising, expanding more marketing channels, which are related to The combination of lower and lower product prices has formed a strong competitive barrier with competitors who have just entered the industry.
They want to leverage the customer base of Sahara, which is almost impossible under the advantages established by the original Sahara!
Of course, Sahara has not yet reached such a huge scale. After all, online shopping is still a new thing, and many users are still waiting...
So Lanzhou Kai has some doubts about Yang Yi's statement: "Can 100 million people have such a high level of participation? Is the country now rich enough that everyone can afford the Internet?"
"It's not possible now, but we are focusing on the future. Now we will firmly grasp the existing market in our own hands. In the future, with the development of the times, the cost of surfing the Internet will become lower. As you said about the popularity of the mobile Internet, this online shopping will become a common thing for us to eat and drink, and at that time, Sahara will truly become a behemoth in the Internet industry!"
"It's like buying a house? As long as there is a continuous influx of rural population into the city, the market will continue to expand." Lanzhou Kai took this logic from another perspective.
"That's right!" Yang Yi nodded, "So compared to my Weibo, this Sahara is more worthy of your investment, Brother Lan."
Now that Yang Yi has figured it out, since Lanzhou Kai mentioned it and he and Fu Jun also want to raise money, why not bring Lanzhou Kai in? If you have money, everyone will make money, but the fat and water will not flow to outsiders!
However, Lanzhou Kai still has some hesitation: "But now Boss Fu wants a lot of money. I have given me data from a consulting company. This company has a market value of about 200 million at most, but he wants 6% of the shares. I have more than one hundred million dollars, which is too exaggerated, right?"
"Brother Lan, do you know how much this company was worth half a year ago?" Yang Yi asked Lanzhou Kai.
"How much?" Lanzhou Kai really didn't know.
"Less than ten million!" Yang Yi smiled slightly, "And this also includes a lot of investment in real estate."
In the early Saharan online bookstore, Fu Jun was really ambitious to make a career, so he made a lot of investment in the company's office building or the warehouse where the goods were transferred.
Don't underestimate these investments. Even if he withdraws the project, the real estate sales that are in the process of appreciation will allow him to recover his capital.
Even so, in half a year, in less than half a year, 10 million yuan has become a company worth 200 million yuan. This development speed is amazing enough!
"Brother Lan, this is Fu Jun's personal phone call. You can go back and study with your investment advisor to see if the investment is worth it!" Seeing that Lanzhou Kai was a little moved, Yang Yi did not persuade him any more, he smiled. Then he said to Lanzhou Kai, "What Sahara wants now is to seize the opportunity. If the financing can be completed earlier, I believe its development speed, and you will be able to make a return soon!"
Lanzhou Kai naturally won't make a decision just because of Yang Yi's one-sided remarks. Lanzhou Kai needs to be cautious in dealing with hundreds of millions of big transactions, even if it is a real brother. Not impossible!
Regarding the transition chapter of the commercial part, Xiaohan tried to reduce the space as much as possible. The negotiations like Lanzhou Kai’s negotiation and the development of the Sahara will basically not be described in detail. They are generally mentioned in this chapter, so you don’t have to worry about it. . In addition, for these possible loopholes, please also lightly spray, Xiaohan did not learn these after all, some of the information is searched on the Internet, I don’t know if there will be any problems when combined together, just look at it, don’t worry too much . Well, let's push the development of the career, and the next chapter will return to normal life.
