Chapter 1960 My Parents Are Here Too
For any social product, the first batch must be natural users, so that word-of-mouth will gradually develop. This is the same as the first pot of gold. Once you have the first 1 million, it is not difficult to earn another 2 million or 3 million. .
As Ruiz said, Hoo has indeed become popular.
Ruiz warned, "While Hoo is still finding its own path, it will not forget to imitate MS Short Video's playstyle and frequently acquire companies of the same type. Almost all of the financing they received was used on this."
Yang Cheng was stunned, "Huh? Who did they acquire?"
"monkey~"
Yang Cheng knew about this software. As a video social software developed by the post-95s generation in the United States, Monkey’s influence in the minds of the post-00s generation in the United States is almost as important as Facebook. It has been ranked in the top ten in the North American social list for downloads all year round, and for a time Jumping to the top of the list, it has become the favorite social software of the post-00s generation in the United States.
While Monkey was harvesting the post-2000s market in the United States, Hoo was still struggling, and its brand influence could not match that of Monkey. However, due to the explosive growth in user numbers, the Monkey server was down for three weeks. 18 months after it was launched, due to Unable to recruit suitable technical personnel, the Android version has not been developed for a long time, and the download ranking once dropped from the top five to outside the fifty.
At this time, Hoo, who had just received tens of millions of dollars in financing, pushed an acquisition offer to monkey.
Ruiz said, "They have just completed the merger and acquisition. I believe that with the support of the Hoo technical team, it will not be long before they can develop the Monkey Android version. It is not a problem to return to the top 50 downloads. In the entire business line, their company has already A situation where Monkey+Hoo keeps pace with each other has formed.
In terms of positioning, Monkey can focus on younger people under the age of 25, responsible for the company's traffic indicators and brand tone, while Hoo's users are between 22 and 32 years old, with stronger spending power than Monkey, and are responsible for completing revenue indicators.
When promoting in different markets, Monkey, as a traffic-based product, must be promoted through viral communication; while Hoo, as a revenue-based product, completes fission through word-of-mouth communication. When doing localized operations in various regions, they will follow the local Customs, looking for people who are familiar with local language and cultural habits, and combining local internet celebrity resources for brand promotion. "
Yang Cheng finally realized the seriousness of the problem. Of course, it was not something that would scare him. After all, the basic base of MS was there. It would be difficult to shake it with just Hoo and Monkey, but it would be different if Facebook joined.
As long as Facebook wants to, they can easily help Hoo accumulate more users.
"I will forward this document to MS,
Thank you for your hard work~" Yang Cheng said solemnly.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do~"
Ruiz hesitated and said, "One more thing. Ms. Oprah Winfrey came to our door recently and wanted to sell us a batch of stocks in her possession~"
"Who? Oprah? How did she come to us?"
"I don't know~"
"What stock is it?"
"A weight loss app called ww (Weight Watchers)~"
Yang Cheng seemed to have heard of this company, and it was also Oprah's battle to become famous in the investment world.
"Let me see~" He took the information and read it for a long time. After confirming that it was the stock he knew, he immediately said, "Buy it. This company's revenue level is quite good, and it has the reputation of Oprah. , you won’t suffer any loss if you buy it, it doesn’t cost much anyway~”
"Yes, the current average price is only 11 US dollars, and the total equity is only 68 million. A full acquisition does not cost 800 million. It is indeed cheap~"
“How much does Oprah sell for?”
"She currently holds a total of 15% of the shares, and she wants to sell 6%~"
"Tell her, the minimum is 10%, below this number we are not interested~"
"Okay, price-wise?"
Yang Cheng hesitated and said, "Calculate it according to the market price, no need to lower the price~"
"I understand~"
If Yang Cheng remembers correctly, this stock will rise to more than 110 US dollars in the next year. If you buy it now, it will increase at least 10 times and you will make a lot of money.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a greedy smile, "In addition, we will acquire a part in the secondary market to get 15%. It can't be too much, so as not to make the major shareholders suspicious. The volume is too small to play~"
"No problem~" Ruiz is also very optimistic about this stock. Judging from the recently released financial report, the profit level has almost doubled. There is no reason not to buy such a high-quality stock.
After sending Ritz away, Yang Cheng still called Oprah to ask what was going on. You have to know the reason for sending money, right?
"Good day, Ms. Winfrey~"
"Hey~Jason, I guessed you were going to call me~"
"Haha, because of the stock issue?"
"Yes, I recently took a fancy to a new residence, but I was short of money, so I had no choice but to sell WW's stocks. You are a professional and should know the future prospects."
"Of course, that's why I called you specifically to thank you, but I still want to ask why?"
"Ha~ Jason, don't be narcissistic. In fact, I'm looking for more than just your family. I will sell to whoever gives me a definite answer first~"
Yang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's it. It seems I'm lucky and got a big deal. Thank you no matter what~"
"Come on, I've made money too, okay? You're welcome. If you really want to thank me, why don't you come on my show?"
When Yang Cheng heard this, he said, "Forget it, forget it. I'll treat you to a big dinner later and go on the show. I need to keep a low profile~"
Oprah has gathered the emotional intelligence of half a billion black people, and of course she won’t dwell too much on it. “Okay, I won’t force you, but you have to send me a copy of your wedding invitation~”
"OMG, has this reached your ears?"
"Of course, a lot of people have been saying recently, I heard that you chartered an island in Fiji?"
Yang Cheng covered her forehead, wondering whose mouth was like a cotton crotch, so loose?
"Yes, don't worry. No one can forget you. The invitation will be sent to your home as soon as it is made~"
"Then I'll just wait. No more chatting. I have a meeting later~"
"Okay, let's have dinner together~"
"No problem~"
After Yang Cheng hung up the phone, he smiled self-deprecatingly. He found that when people reach a certain status, they have the mentality that there are always unruly people who want to harm me, and everyone looks wrong.
Liu Junyu happened to come in and take away Ruiz's coffee cup. When she saw Yang Cheng smiling bitterly, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Yang Cheng came back to his senses, shook his head, and asked with concern, "Nothing, how are you doing lately?"
"I'm fine~" Liu Junyu looked at Yang Cheng strangely, feeling that he had something to say.
"That's ok. Let's go see Susu together in the evening?"
"If I don't go, I don't want to be a light bulb~" Liu Junyu flatly refused.
Yang Cheng laughed angrily, "Which one of us is the boss?"
"You are~"
"Then I order you to go at night~"
Liu Junyu couldn't resist Yang Cheng, she said angrily, "You know how to bully me~"
"I didn't bully you, don't talk nonsense~"
"Hmph~" He turned around and left with the coffee cup in hand. Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Yang Cheng a rollicking look. He couldn't do anything else but roll his eyes!
Yang Cheng smiled silently, picked up her phone and sent a message to Susu, telling her to have dinner together in the evening.
As a result, Susu replied with a bolt from the blue, which scared Yang Cheng and almost threw the phone downstairs, "Well~ my parents are here too..."
