Son, how did you become the richest man in elementary school?

Gu Xiu, who had been silent all this time, dropped the chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth and said:

"Penguin is a very powerful team. The founders are not easy-going, especially Ma Huateng as the leader."

"They are indeed short of money, but in comparison, they are also very confident in their business."

"If you want to invest and get shares, it's okay, but if you want to control the company's development direction, it's different."

Tan Liangzhe seemed to understand but not understand.

"The boss knows everything!"

Luo Xiang on the side spoke at this moment and added:

"Before IDG and Xiangjiang's Mr. Li were not small roles, but even in the face of these two parties, Penguin did not give up voting rights."

"Do you think such a person would give up control of the company for the sake of money?"

"This is impossible."

"I can tell you that Ma Huateng should have planned to reject us at that time, because they were unwilling to give up control of the company."

"And this time, the boss is besieging Wei and saving Zhao."

Surround Wei and save Zhao...

When Tan Liangzhe thought about it, it was amazing. He was still confused before, but now he suddenly became enlightened.

However, Tan Liangzhe still didn't quite understand:

"But even so, it shouldn't really provide them with a direction to make money, right?"

"They can completely reject us, find someone else to invest, or make a bet agreement later, and you are sure they will lose?"

"I'll answer the first question." Luo Xiang said with a smile:

"Penguin can indeed find other people to invest in, but their situation is not that good. As long as the conditions we offer are attractive enough, they are willing to consider us."

"After all, if we want to find a new investor, it will take a long time. Penguin cannot afford such a long time."

"so."

"They must accept the VAM agreement, otherwise they will have no chance to realize the profit model they want!"

"Even, probably soon, they're going to have problems with their servers."

"Giving them a profit model, to put it bluntly, is to make them more motivated, more confident, and able to see the opportunity to win."

"Naturally, you also have the courage to bet against us."

"So, agreeing to bet against each other is an inevitable result."

Having said that, Luo Xiang looked at Gu Xiu:

"However, as for why they failed, I don't understand. After all, to be honest, their profit plan is still very promising."

"That's the biggest difference between me and my boss."

Tan Liangzhe was stunned.

He didn't expect that there was such a way in this seemingly incomprehensible matter, which he didn't even know before.

Can't help it.

Tan Liangzhe looked at Gu Xiu again, with shock in his eyes.

Is this person really a seven-year-old child?

He couldn't help thinking about it.

After all, the ability that Gu Xiu has displayed now has completely overturned his understanding of seven-year-old children.

Gu Xiu smiled slightly:

"Actually, there is one more thing."

"They want to develop a group chat function, not to mention the time cost of development, it's just a burden on the server."

"Enough for them to drink a jug."

"As for why I am sure that their profit plan will inevitably fail..."

"That's because the direction was wrong from the beginning."

Wrong direction?

Both Luo Xiang and Tan Liangzhe frowned, but after thinking about it carefully, they still had no clue.

After all tell the truth.

The size of Penguin is here, and the technology is also here. Coupled with their group chat plan, it actually hits the pain points of many companies today.

In this case, Penguin should be invincible if he withdraws from the group chat.

Why is it going in the wrong direction?

"If you want to know why, it's actually very simple. Just think about who the current Penguin users are, and what is Penguin's positioning in the hearts of users."

Gu Xiu reminded me.

Luo Xiang thought for a moment, and was a little puzzled:

"Penguin users like to chat online at the beginning. Some young people who are exposed to the Internet for the first time. At present, many Internet users in China like to register with Penguin. Is this a problem?"

"Yeah, I still don't want to understand." Tan Liangzhe also nodded:

"As for Penguin's positioning in the eyes of users... it should be a good chat and dating app, is there any problem?"

Can have doubts about the two of them.

Gu Xiu just shook his head and smiled, putting it off, without explaining what he meant.

indeed.

At first glance, there seems to be no problem.

but……

It is precisely because this seems to be no problem that the founders of Penguin can be deceived.

He did not forget.

Today he was in Penguin's office and saw one of the computer screens.

written in four big characters.

Subscription service!

This thing is what strengthened Gu Xiu's idea of ​​disturbing the audience.

The charge for group chat is Gu Xiu deliberately disrupting the audience!

Just don't know.

Can it work...

Chapter 174 An Investment That I Can't Refuse

When Gu Xiu and his group of three started traveling in Pengcheng, eating and drinking all the way.

The Penguin company on the other side is still discussing enthusiastically at this time, let alone eating and drinking.

Many people are still hungry.

However, nonetheless.

No one present felt that there was anything wrong, and even many people were full of energy at the moment.

Excitement will not work.

"Hahahaha, that's great, we finally found a profit model, and we can finally feel proud!"

"This time, who dares to say that we will only burn money. In the future, if we make money, we won't need other people to invest. We can even invest in others and be an investor!"

"That's right. Those investment companies before were like uncles. None of them valued us. In the future, we will be able to hold our heads up again!"

"I've never heard of Yuan Xiu's investment in this company, or we don't want their investment, just accept investment from Goldman Sachs, Morgan, etc., and find the biggest one."

"I also think that this Yuanxiu investment is too ignorant. He even dared to enter into a gambling agreement with us. There is no sincerity. Let's just change people. Anyway, there is a way to make a profit. Find a stronger investment It is also helpful for our follow-up development.”

"..."

At this moment, the goose factory is full of joy.

Everyone's faces were filled with smiles, and the previous anxiety had completely disappeared at the moment when they heard that there was a profitable direction.

Instead, confidence.

It seems that the conqueror who is about to reach the top of the mountain, it seems that in the next second, he will be able to go directly to the sky to pick up the stars and the moon.

It's just that this self-confidence seems to be a bit too much, even to the point of a little conceit.

At least.

After listening to everyone's words, Ma Huateng felt a little toothache.

After all, just a few days ago, people often said:

"I hope an investor will come to invest in us soon."

"No matter who it is, as long as he is willing to support us now, he will be our greatest benefactor, and he will definitely not regret it in the future."

"Those big companies have no vision, a group of short-sighted guys, why don't they look down on us?"

And now...

Good guy, this is already a bit of a contempt, and you can casually spend millions of dollars in remote repair investment?

inflated.

A little too bloated.

Fortunately, not everyone has such an idea, and more people are actually quite rational.

"Although we currently have a profit direction, to be honest, this is only in the concept stage after all, and we don't know the final result yet."

"I also think that everyone should not be overconfident, and there is one most important question. If we want to try our profit model, it means that we must need funds. But now the company will start group chats, let alone excess funds. Even if it is a normal instant messaging business, it is difficult to last for a long time."

"Actually, there is another problem. What we want to create is a multi-group chat mode, which means that compared with the previous chat rooms, this kind of group chat will have higher requirements for the server, which means that what we need Funding is not a small amount.”

"We need to secure a sum of funds as soon as possible. This is the most important thing at the moment, which means that even if we really plan to find other investors, I am afraid that time will not allow it."

"Yuanxiu Investment is actually a good choice now."

"..."

In a similar way, the former expansive faction instantly received a bucket of cold water.

indeed.

Because they have a profit direction, they are a little overinflated, and even forget that they are still nothing at present.

At least for now.

It's not the time for them to pick and choose various investors. After all, others invest for profit, and they accept investment for survival.

They can't afford it!

"Yuanxiu Investment is indeed a good choice. They are willing to support and invest in us, and they seem to have some other profit model plans in their hands."

"These things are actually what we need."

Seeing that the temperature in the office had been cooled down, Ma Huateng finally nodded and said:

"As for other investors, of course we can do it, but to be honest, we don't have the time for that right now."

"Accepting investment, especially from some large companies, often takes a lot of time."

"Whether it's the review, the contacts, the negotiations, the final process and the money coming in, it takes time."

"And this time is something we can't afford to spend."

Everyone nodded and agreed with Ma Huateng's words.

indeed.

The investment of a big company is not so easy to get. It usually takes three to five months for an investment case.
