Chapter 671 APP Factory
Wen Xiaoguang went to the balcony, and after the weather warmed up, the outdoors was more comfortable than the interior.
"Miss Maggie, it turns out that Andy is your aunt. ”
Although this lady is older, her body management is still excellent, and the white person looks really white from a distance, and there is a confident charm in her smile.
"I can see that Mr. Wen doesn't like this kind of occasion. ”
Wen Xiaoguang asked, "Is this the reason why you called me out?"
Maggie said, "Of course, I wanted to make friends with Mr. Wen, so I did this. I'm interested in you. ”
"Chinese people have a characteristic subtlety and shyness, and maggie is so direct that it will be difficult for a Chinese to answer your words. ”
The girl was a little interested, "Why are Chinese so easily shy?"
"The answer lies in our culture, and if Miss Maggie is willing to devote a little effort to studying Chinese culture, I think you will understand, and according to my superficial understanding, architecture is actually a form of cultural expression, isn't it?"
"You're absolutely right. But I don't think you're like I'm a traditional Chinese. ”
"Huh?" Wen Xiaoguang raised an eyebrow.
"You're more confident, you're less reserved. ”
"Maybe it's because of the youth, and the young people in China have shaped their personalities under the influence of both Chinese and Western cultures. ”
Maggie thought for a moment and smiled and raised her glass, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Wen Xiaoguang clinked glasses with her, "Me too." By the way, you're dressed beautifully tonight. ”
"Thank you, do you like it?"
"Uh......" Wen Xiaoguang felt that this was too much, "I don't think anyone will dislike it." ”
If he wants, he can probably take her away, and he doesn't have to think about what Andy will think, they are more concerned about their own responsibility, Maggie's affairs, Andy can't care too deeply.
But Wen Xiaoguang wanted to be younger.
He doesn't want to scratch a handful of hairs,
Besides, at this age, he is probably going to make a big vat with a toothpick.
He regarded this person as an architectural designer he knew, and maybe there would be business cooperation in the future, or maybe not.
Now Wen Xiaoguang can take away many women with less difficulty, of course, he won't take away every one, and it's not Luo Zhixiang.
In fact, there is no shortage of beauties in such a place, but it is not a suitable occasion because everyone comes with some kind of purpose.
Wen Xiaoguang went back to discuss the future of Weituo with Andy and the few people who were with her.
"O2O is not the point, what Weituo wants to lay out is the content ecology, we think that the advent of the 4G era will make mobile phones become more dependent mobile devices, in fact, it is already this trend, and in this trend, who can provide interesting things, who can occupy the user's time. ”
An old man said: "This is more like the development of the iPhone, users do not have this need, and Weituo wants to create this demand, although it is very imaginative, but it is very difficult, what kind of content will be loved by most people? ”
"Very professional, good question. Wen Xiaoguang said, "Our answer is accurate recommendation, I think today's headlines have proved this, content is the core, algorithm is the key, Weituo has all the have, this year you can see the substantial growth of Weituo's revenue, compared with O2O enterprises, we will be faster and better out of the quagmire of burning money, maybe the next financing is the only financing in a few years." ”
He wants to talk about micro-extension very well, and at the same time talk about financing opportunities are becoming more and more rare.
This is just the usual means of each founder, to increase the sense of urgency of the other party, the difference is that Micro Tuo can really do less financing,
Not financing is bragging, and even if Toutiao's revenue grows by 300% this year and advertising revenue exceeds 6 billion, it is impossible not to need financing.
Of course it's possible to grow 300%,
The growth of nascent Internet products is explosive.
Andy, as a representative of Barak Bank, is very concerned about WeTuo's financing plan, and many investment banks doing business in China should have done very detailed research on WeTuo.
Even Wen Xiaoguang's personal situation, they have a very clear grasp.
His relatively simple work-focused lifestyle, as well as his management philosophy and methods when leading the company, including the quality and background of the entire company's senior team,
Everything is indicative of the fact that Micro Tuo is an ultra-premium asset.
With WeChat in its hands, and WeChat itself valued at tens of billions of dollars, the company's growth prospects are particularly enticing if you zoom in on the huge mainland market.
"Mr. Wen, does Weituo have a financing plan in 2014?"
Wen Xiaoguang is difficult to say directly, "This is based on today's headlines' revenue this year, and our expansion plan, if it is just a forecast, I think it is needed, after two quarters of this year, the company will study this matter, I myself very welcome everyone, Chinese pay attention to money to earn together." ”
The initial financing of $1.6 billion is now more than half of it, and Series C is definitely needed.
Because Wen Xiaoguang still has to lay out in the field of short videos, it also costs a lot of money.
If memory serves, Y was probably launched recently and became popular in North America, where ByteDance acquired the short video app for $1 billion in 2017.
Although Y was launched abroad and quickly became popular, once topping the App Store download list, its development team is more than a dozen Chinese.
Facts have proved that short videos have begun to enter the market, and the competition for this track has officially begun, not only that, but short videos have also violated other 'tracks', and began to rob users of time, and it is almost a kind of plunder, and later, people have been brushing short videos, and this seriously threatens Tengxun, and it is also the reason why the latter regards bytes as a thorn in their eyes.
Micro Tuo of this time and space has begun to develop this application, but the characteristics of large enterprises are always two steps slower cannot be avoided, because the existing business is running well, and there is always a lack of innovation momentum, Wen Xiaoguang is not a god, this is a common problem of large enterprises all over the world, and he can't invent a perfect system to solve it.
The good thing is that with him, he can urge Weituo to continue to innovate. Even if it's a little slower than y, it's not fatal.
In a sense, this is also the reason why the soul character is the soul, if a company has done everything by itself, what do you want him to do?
Wen Xiaoguang bragged to the investors present: "Short video is the next track for Micro Tuo to bet on, I am very confident in this, and please pay attention to it, it is already very wonderful to win this track." ”
"WeChat, Toutiao...... Two consecutive popular apps, do you want to create another miracle?"
Wen Xiaoguang is very confident, "Yes, because, Weituo is an app factory." ”
