Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 348 From behind the scenes to in front of the stage (seeking a monthly ticket!!!)
At the same time, Qin Hao further increased his share of the bike-sharing market in first- and second-tier cities. Compared with OFO and Mobike, which focused on online promotion, Qin Hao focused more on the formation of offline teams superior.

Faster transfer speed, faster shared bicycle maintenance mechanism, and under the premise of not deliberately increasing the number of shared bicycles, the shared bicycles of Youth Tour still occupy more than 85% of the market share in the first and second tier markets. Great cost savings.

Of course, no matter how much money is saved, the money from the A round of financing is almost burned. After reading last month's financial statement, Qin Hao knew it was time to prepare for the B round of financing.

After Zhu Xiaohu learned that Qin Hao was going to start the second round of financing, he immediately rushed to the Youth Tour.

"I heard that OFO and Mobike will start their third round of financing soon, which may affect the valuation of Youth Trip." Zhu Xiaohu said worriedly.

As he said that, Zhu Xiaohu suggested: "Why don't we take the lead and advance?"

Qin Hao directly raised his hand to interrupt: "It's not necessary."

Zhu Xiaohu felt that Qin Hao was a little flustered by successive successes, so he couldn't help reminding: "OFO and Mobike are developing rapidly, and their registered users have exceeded 300 million, and the capital market is unanimously optimistic about them. potential, I heard that Sequoia and IDG have been in contact with them in advance."

Qin Hao just smiled lightly, without saying a word, and directly handed the last month's financial statement to Zhu Xiaohu.

Zhu Xiaohu took it inexplicably, and when he saw the last page, his hands trembled unconsciously, and then he looked up at Qin Hao in shock.

"You, are all the data on this real?"

Qin Hao poured Zhu Xiaohu a cup of tea with a smile, and nodded: "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can send the accountant to re-audit."

Zhu Xiaohu felt his throat a little dry, picked up the tea cup and drank it down, his eyes were full of excitement and disbelief.

"how did you do it?"

Qin Hao spread his hands, and said calmly: "Since last month, Youth Journey has reduced the number of shared bicycles, and at the same time strengthened the offline transfer mechanism. In addition, I talked with Phoenix Bicycle about the new bicycles. According to the conditions of cooperation, their after-sales outlets in various first- and second-tier cities should give priority to repairing our shared bicycles."

In fact, it can also be seen from here that shared bicycles are not a profitable business. Even if Qin Hao has increased the utilization rate of shared bicycles so much, his profit last month only reached 58. Look, with such a large investment and such a low return, investors have already run away.

However, when shared bicycles are covered with Internet attributes, everything is different. It is common for Internet companies to not make money in three to five years, and it is not uncommon for Internet companies to still lose money in ten years.

Take OFO and Mobike as an example. When they were still burning money to grab the market, Youth Tour has already achieved profitability, and the gap between them has widened in an instant.

This is why Zhu Xiaohu was so excited. 58 was nothing to him, but the meaning behind it was completely different.

Excited, Zhu Xiaohu suddenly shook his head at Qin Hao: "This is not enough."

Qin Hao looked at Zhu Xiaohu in surprise.

Zhu Xiaohu leaned forward a little, put his hands and elbows on his thighs, and said with a serious face.

"You have to stand in front of the stage!"

As he said that, Zhu Xiaohu's tone became a little excited: "In other industries, it's okay for you to hide behind the scenes to make money secretly, but the Internet industry is different. Whether it's users or investors, many of them don't know what business logic is. , do not understand any high-tech, what they see is the person standing in front of the stage, this person represents the image of the company, Xiaomi has only been established for three years, and its market value has reached 40 billion US dollars, why? ?Because Rebs has always stood in front of the stage and cheered for Xiaomi, and he let users and investors know what kind of company Xiaomi is."

"You have also seen the situation of OFO and Mobike. In terms of entrepreneurial experience, Dai Wei and Hu Weiwei are both starting their own businesses for the first time. Why can they easily get the approval of users and investors? Because they stand in front of the stage, and you can see them online. Look, as long as you search for shared bicycles, the news that pops up is all about OFO and Mobike, but there is almost no page for Youth Journey. Why? You don’t hold press conferences, don’t accept interviews, and those gossip media don’t even have your photos. Can't find it, how do they write your news?"

Qin Hao was somewhat embarrassed by what Zhu Xiaohu said. The reason why he kept a low profile was simple. The two projects of long-term rental housing and shared bicycles are very likely to be thunderstorms in the future. At first, his idea was to let Penguin come. After receiving the offer, he sold his shares and got out.

But now it seems that he took it for granted. When a company develops to a certain level, it is difficult for the founder behind it to escape the media search. The more low-key you are, the more interested the media will be in you. A person as low-key as Wei is still exposed to the media.

"Mr. Zhu, I understand what you mean, please arrange an interview for me."

Zhu Xiaohu was obviously taken aback when he heard the words. He originally thought that Qin Hao had something to hide, and he didn't dare to face the camera. Agree easily?
"you sure?"

"Did I just say something?" Qin Hao teased.

Zhu Xiaohu immediately jumped up from the sofa: "I'll contact you right away, don't go back on your word!"

That afternoon, Qin Hao had just picked up Jiang Nansun from school, preparing for a romantic evening, but before he could drive, he received a call from an unfamiliar number. At first Qin Hao thought it was a harassing call, but after hanging up, the other party Called again.

"Hey."

A clear female voice came from the phone: "Hello, is this Mr. Qin? I'm Lin Ling, a reporter from Shanghai Finance and Economics News. I want to make an interview with you, can I?"

Qin Hao had to sigh with emotion, Zhu Xiaohu's work efficiency is really high, it only took a few hours to get it done?

In fact, Qin Hao didn't know that he had been in the media's field of vision as early as the B-round financing of the Youth Home, but he was always too low-key, and many interviews were rejected by him, and some media thought he was a bit withdrawn That is to say, he didn't have any gossip like cheating, female stars at night parties, so he didn't attract the paparazzi to follow him.

"Okay, come to my company directly tomorrow morning."

Since extending the head is a slash, and retracting the head is also a slash, so it's better to stand up straight and look decent.

"Okay, Mr. Qin, I'm looking forward to meeting you tomorrow."

After speaking, the other party hung up the phone.

Qin Hao was about to drive, but when he turned his head, he found that Jiang Nansun was looking at him with jealousy.

"I'm looking forward to meeting you tomorrow, hmph."

Qin Hao was amused, jealous, and explained with a smile: "Isn't the recent B-round financing for Youth Tour, anyway, it will be exposed anyway. Standing in front of the stage in advance can also increase the company's bargaining chips. I did an exclusive interview, but she and I haven't even met face to face, so you're jealous?"

Jiang Nansun nuzzled: "Hmph, what if the other party is very beautiful?"

Qin Hao couldn't help teasing her: "Don't worry, her voice is pretty nice. She shouldn't look very good. God is fair. Just like you are so beautiful, your voice has no characteristics."

"Okay, you mean that my voice is not as nice as hers." Jiang Nansun said angrily.

Qin Hao leaned over and kissed him directly. At first, Jiang Nansun patted Qin Hao a few times with lingering anger, but gradually lost his ability to resist, and could only passively cater to him, until Jiang Nansun's face turned red and he couldn't breathe freely. Only then did Qin Hao let her go, and whispered softly in her ear before getting up.

"I'm a face control person, and I like pretty people."

Jiang Nansun waited for a while before he gave Qin Hao a blank look: "I'm hungry."

After a night of silence, Qin Hao sent Jiang Nansun to school, made a round trip, and returned to the company under the resentful gazes of Lu Ming and others.

Jiang Nansun was stunned. She was suddenly afraid that Qin Hao would be taken away. If it was a year ago about what happened to the female reporter yesterday, she would just laugh it off. The proud Princess Jiang would not bother to compete with those women for jealousy.

But as Qin Hao's career became more and more successful, Jiang Nansun saw girls talking about Qin Hao more than once on the school's BBS, and some good people made a school grass ranking list. Qin Hao is naturally the well-deserved No. 1 , such a handsome and self-made boy is simply a prince charming tailored for girls.

"Oh, Jiang Nansun, what are you thinking about? You are the noble Princess Jiang. How can you be suspicious of your boyfriend like those vulgar women?"

On the other side, as soon as Qin Hao came to the company, the lady at the front desk reported.

"President Qin, reporter Lin from the Financial News said that he has an appointment with you for an interview and is now in the reception room."

Qin Hao nodded at her: "Thank you, please come to my office."

"Ok."

Not long after, a beautiful woman in business attire came in at the front desk, followed by a photographer with a SLR camera.

"Boss Qin, we've met after a long time." Lin Ling stretched out her hand with a smile.

Qin Hao shook hands with the other party with a smile, and made a gesture of invitation: "Reporter Lin, please sit down, what do you want to drink?"

"Coffee and tea are fine."

"That's still a tea bar. Our company's coffee is all instant."

"Ok."

Lin Ling took out her notebook and recording pen while speaking: "President Qin, the interview will end in a while, and I need your cooperation to take a cover photo."

Qin Hao joked: "Oh, if I knew this, I should have a hairstyle in the morning, change my clothes and come back."

"Mr. Qin is already handsome enough. When the cover of this issue was sent out, those who didn't know would think that our financial newspaper has switched to gossip in the entertainment industry." Lin Ling said with a smile on her face.

The photographer sitting next to Lin Ling can guarantee that she is telling the truth. After working in this industry for so long, he has become numb. Although not every big boss looks like an old horse with such "characteristics", but There are not many people who are really good enough to pass the passing line. It is really the first time he has seen someone like Qin Hao with good figure, appearance and temperament. It is no wonder that the editor-in-chief can't wait to send them here. This handsome man, who is comparable to a star in the entertainment industry, once he is on the cover of the financial newspaper, the sales will not be able to increase.

While talking, the tea had already been delivered, Lin Ling took a sip and turned on the working mode.

"President Qin, I heard that you are still in the second graduate school, is it true?"

Qin Hao: "Yes."

Lin Ling asked again: "Can I tell you which school you are studying in?"

Qin Hao: "Tongji, Department of Architecture."

"Oh, this is not only a prestigious school but also a popular major. I am curious why a boss like Mr. Qin who has already achieved such a high achievement in his career chooses to continue his studies. You also know that it has been difficult for college students to find jobs in recent years. It has become a social topic, and many people even say what is the use of studying so much, and the salary after graduation is not as high as that of elementary school students, what do you think about this?" Lin Ling asked with great interest.

Qin Hao said sternly: "Actually, you only need to look at the academic qualifications of those successful entrepreneurs in the society in recent years. Mr. Penguin and Mr. Ali both have a university degree, Mr. Li from Baidu has a master's degree, and Mr. Li from Sohu Zong Zhang’s doctoral degree, no matter when knowledge is always the primary productive force.”

Lin Ling's eyes lit up, isn't this the perfect topic for the next episode of the show, it's hot and hot.

Lin Ling made up her mind that seeing Qin Hao would be more pleasing to the eye, so she asked with a smile.

"Mr. Qin, is it convenient for you to talk about the process of establishing the Youth Home and Youth Journey? I believe everyone should be very interested."

The so-called entrepreneurial stories are all for users and investors. Since it is a story, it is natural not to say: I am here to make money, so it is too cheap. Feelings, a story without feelings, is not a qualified start-up story.

Qin Hao thought for a while.

"Actually, I first came up with the idea of ​​starting a youth home because of a renting experience. At that time, I met a black intermediary. At the beginning, I agreed that the monthly rent would be [-] yuan, but in the second month he forced it. I raised the rent to [-]. At that time, I couldn’t find a good house, the dormitory was withdrawn, and it was too late to reapply, so I had no choice but to suffer from this stupid loss. Later, I logged on to the school forum and found that many students had similar experience."

"So I thought, these unscrupulous intermediaries are using poor information to make unscrupulous money. Then, can I build a platform to connect landlords with students who need to rent a house, so that both parties can directly bypass the intermediary and reduce communication costs, so that the rent can also be paid. Much cheaper."

Lin Ling excitedly recorded the main points of the interview. This kind of entrepreneurial story is full of explosive points. Although the structure is a bit old-fashioned, the audience can't wait to watch it.

"Then what's next? The process should be smooth, right?"

The story has been told to this point, Qin Hao naturally needs to add a little twist, otherwise success is so simple, it seems too fake, and it is not conducive to establishing his persona as a hard-working entrepreneur.

"not at all."

"Oh? Why? It stands to reason that your idea is very good. Both the landlord and the students should support it?"

　Huh, the fever has subsided a bit, thank you friends for your concern, if the symptoms are not so serious tomorrow, we will resume the two shifts.
