Seeing Chu Yuanxi running so fast, Yuan Yuan thought he had done something wrong. What's even more excessive is that she hurriedly disposed of the matter at hand and rushed over, thinking that she could catch up, well-off financing, how could she, the CFO, not participate at all?

This is obviously the rhythm of the collapse of the talk, right?

In fact, Chu Yuanxi sent Li Jingfei away very simply, there was no big battle, and there was no earth-shattering as expected, because he himself was not particularly enthusiastic.

Chu Yuanxi is a person who has experienced N many times of financing, and he has an intuition about investment and financing, and his intuition in this case is that Sun Dasheng has never invested in a convenience store......

You must know that the island country is the originator of the new convenience store, and there is a new convenience store that is currently in full swing in the country, including the well-off, there is no one who does not imitate the island country, and the difference is nothing more than pure copying, or selective copying. It is rare to copy such a divergent copy like Xiaokang and copy out his own things.

But Sun Dasheng has been watching the great development of the convenience store industry in the island country for so many years, and he has never invested in it, and the only one who has touched the side is Gopuff, a delivery service start-up company in the United States, so why does he suddenly want to invest in the well-off? Don't say that Dasheng is optimistic about local life and other nonsense! The reasonableness of this reason is not more than 10%, and the probability is even lower.

If Sun Dasheng was the original coal boss, Chu Yuanxi's interest would definitely be much higher, but he was not, so why he was so well-off must be a question that needs to be clarified.

Therefore, if Sun Dasheng is willing to meet and chat for five minutes and ten minutes, Chu Yuanxi will definitely show a positive attitude, not to mention it if it doesn't succeed, Sun Dasheng's coffee position is here, and it is unlikely that he will lie in person.

But since Sun Dasheng is unwilling to come forward, then, 800 million dollars is very weird, and this amount of money is not small at present. As far as Chu Yuanxi knows, after WeWork was taken over by Sun Dasheng in October last year, his biggest investment was $1.5 billion to lead the Shell, and the usual large-scale spending in the past has become quite rare.

So 800 million dollars is definitely worth meeting Sun Dasheng in person, even if it is inconvenient for him.

Based on the above reasons, Chu Yuanxi felt that he was not very interested, and the value of Li Jingfei's meeting was not even as good as the call with Liang Kenian that was planned in the morning.

Not only did he propose to start the deployment of data centers immediately, but he also had some other valuable judgments, such as focusing on the recovery of cyclical industries. The reason why cyclical industries are called cyclical is because when the time comes, it will go up, which means that the value of many assets will be revalued.

For example, the raw materials of melt-blown cloth are currently an important asset, and the price has skyrocketed more than ten times.

In the case that the country conveys the spirit at any time, and then pulls the new and old infrastructure, a large number of cyclical industries will follow the recovery, which is also the original intention of releasing water.

It's just that the question in front of Chu Yuanxi is where does the money come from? The data center is a large amount of expenses, and a center cannot run for hundreds of millions, and even BAT has to go through the national science and technology investment, that is, to apply for special funds, Penguin Qianzhou, Ali Zhangbei, Baidu Jinling, and so on.

But it would be too arrogant for a well-off person to apply for the first center. You must first make achievements to prove that you are indeed doing this business, have serious needs, and can produce economic and social benefits, and it will be much easier to apply later.

Moreover, the state's investment in science and technology is of political significance, and speaking human words is the money that must be spent, and the well-off will give it to others if they do not apply, so why bother? Therefore, if the deployment speed is fast, maybe the state will be able to catch up with the policy in the future.

It's just that the idea is really beautiful, and it can be achieved with money, but the problem is that there is no money for the time being.

That's why it has been dragged out and not deployed, because it hasn't been financed yet. What is the purpose of financing? In order to use the money later, the correct use is the fundamental condition that the financing behavior can be passed. Therefore, a reasonable growth rhythm for the well-off is to first explain the purpose of financing, then start collecting money, and then use the money received to cash out the previous plan, and finally start the next round of financing.

How smooth is this development?

The data center needs a large amount of funds, which is one of the main purposes of Series B financing, and now the easiest way for Chu Yuanxi is to borrow from the Pakistani people, and treat it as a bridge loan, and the interest is recorded in equity rather than cash, but this financing rhythm is not right. When the time comes to public financing, people say that you have already obtained this money through debt financing, why is it still in the equity financing plan? Is it using our money to repay the debt?

This is more difficult to answer directly, although everyone understands the truth, but there is no way to say. According to normal enterprises, of course, it is a good thing to owe money, but correspondingly, it is not to repay the money, otherwise why did Shenchuan start to build its own electronic mall?

But the two evils are the opposite, so let's borrow first......

For Chu Yuanxi, this operation is nothing more than a left-handed to right-handed matter, compared to the deployment of the data center, it takes a long time for a special person to deal with it. The speed can not be slow, but also to reduce all kinds of costs, fortunately, although the deployment of things has not been done, people have already been recruited, has been studying the plan, including site selection, procurement, local network situation, and even decoration and the like have also stepped on the bottom of the point, what should have been done in the early stage has been done, so the overall should be okay.

Therefore, when Chu Yuanxi decided to start the deployment, it was actually just a matter of operating the account for him, plus sending an email. But Milestone 5 is a lot of work because there's not much that can be done.

This milestone is full of disasters and difficulties, Chu Yuanxi frowned every time he thought about it, his eyebrows became sparse, and he began to delay since he resumed work after the holiday.

However, according to the original plan, Milestone 5 has several major events in order, first promoting the expansion of stores in the two main cities of eastern Guangdong, that is, the process of replicating Milestone 4 of the well-off imperial capital, and starting to launch a large number of bicycles. Then the first step to start the quality of life plan, determine the OEM and products. Finally, in the latter part of the milestone, take out the latent version of the well-off social, and prepare to relay with Milestone 6.

But now it is not advisable to expand the store and bicycles, although the riding data of the shared bicycle has recovered, but to invest in the bicycle, you must first start to shop the store, and the site can be encircled before you can vote. However, the reality is that it is difficult to even recruit new store staff for training.

And Xiaokang has now handed over the community control application, which already contains a part of the latent version of the social function, so it immediately began to push its own function, which is of little significance, especially in this version, there is no clear socialization, only a function with social attributes.

There is also online value, which is nothing more than entrusted operations such as paid delivery between users with health coins as the equivalent, as well as second-hand transactions in the community. These have corresponding ways to play in the latent version of social networking, and play the central role of the store, such as second-hand goods are directly sent to the store by the seller after the transaction is determined through the online stall, and the buyer picks it up, etc., which can not only stimulate social but also stimulate the currency cycle, but it will also cause direct contact.

Therefore, we can only give priority to the quality of life plan. The future of quality life will be a large-scale plan covering many products and many SKUs, but everything is difficult at the beginning, and there will definitely be only a few models at the beginning.

Now Chu Yuanxi has a headache, since he can't do anything else, should he speed up his quality of life. In the original plan, the first thing to establish was this brand, and then the integration of the supply chain, just like the three major snack e-commerce companies, mainly relying on the supply chain OEM to do OEM, and finally to establish their own factories and production lines to solve the self-sufficiency of some of the products.

In other words, the first step is to find an OEM and monitor the quality.

But now Chu Yuanxi would definitely choose to skip this step and build a factory directly if it weren't for the lack of people, the reason is not that it is cheap to build a factory now and the asset price is low, but that it is difficult to sort out the supply chain and find an OEM. This is one of the reasons why this milestone has been delayed.

What the foundry lacks is to resume work, and what Chu Yuanxi lacks is experts in the field of food and beverage, thinking of experts, he thinks of Duan Luting, and then sent a WeChat message: "Have you completed the transaction? When will Meiduo complete the integration of you?"

Duan Luting quickly replied: "Why does it take a month, right? I really don't care, but it's impossible to drive out all my relatives yesterday and today." ”

At this time, Chu Yuanxi of course already knew that Tianxian was acquired for more than ten days, and it was a contract signed with Xiaokang before and after the resumption of work, so he said: "Not necessarily, if Ali comes to acquire, with your scale, you will be integrated in a week." It can be seen that Meiduo is still not working, have you signed the merger and acquisition agreement on how long it will take to complete the integration?"

Duan Luting didn't squeak for a long time, and it seemed that he had gone to check the contract again. Chu Yuan Xixin said in his heart, "Are you going to make it?" Shouldn't this be remembered in your mind and look at the calendar every day?

But it could also be that other people in his family did the negotiations, and everything that was unreasonable in the family business could be justified, so there was nothing to say.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped up in Chu Yuanxi's mind, do you want to have a meeting with the senior management of Meiduo? Or wait patiently for the other party to complete the integration, and then check the leak by yourself?

Of course, the well-off is not completely counting on this group of people, the opening of milestone 5 means the opening of recruitment, the previous non-expansion is only temporary, and entering the new milestone must be the first to recruit. It's just that it is more difficult to carry out normal social recruitment at present.

In a normal state, it is still easier to find experts, because there are not many things in the early stage of the well-off. The main focus of quality life is the high-sugar people, this group not only has a high tolerance for price, but also has relatively alternative requirements, health is the first, the taste is not, the drink is a little more flavorful than white water, and the same is true for food, it does not need to be so delicious and delicious, and it is a very good choice to provide a little taste under the premise of ensuring health.

According to the rhythm of the original world, in the initial stage, only the three categories of bread, yogurt and drinks need to be made "cost-effective", which is enough to be an instant hit. It's a pity that because it's easy to find, Chu Yuan Xiyuan World didn't operate this link by himself at all, and now I don't know where those experts ran at the beginning, and there is no way to recover.

Therefore, it is still necessary to turn to almighty investors to help find the right resources, and human resources are also resources. Chu Yuanxi basically did not distribute the equity of the Ba people to the outside at the beginning, precisely because there was not much to ask for help, and at a glance, Zheng De could milk the point where there was a need, or dig the potential internally. Similarly, in a hurry to disperse the A round share of the well-off, it is precisely because the structure of the well-off is much more complex than that of the Ba people, and there are many places that need milk, and Zheng De alone can exhaust Yuan Jing to death.

For example, now, you can turn to capital to help find talents, and you can also turn to capital to help contact OEM. Ready-made foundry is not easy to find ready-made, but you can also find half of it, foundry is nothing more than difficult to resume work, workers can not come back, these problems of foundry small arms and legs are not easy to solve, but there is capital to help dredge it will be much easier, so that the well-off must pay a little more, but it is meaningful to the whole society.

At this moment, capital and enterprises are not just the relationship of money, but together become a node in the national economy, in which the legs that control many resources are naturally thicker, so they become a strong support to assist the country to jointly support the national economy. Analogous to the feudal era, it is called the foundation of the country of the people, the foundation of the monarch of the country, there is a country on the part of the people, and there is a country on the side of the king, so the way of the world lies in determining the country and securing the people.

In this process, both capital and enterprises are the units that determine the security of the country and the people, and they can match more needs and mobilize more forces with each other.

Just like the Putian system switched to the production of masks, the diaper factory has materials, the shoe factory has equipment, and the two sides have put together the production line with two strokes.

In contrast, the demand for the well-off seems to be strenuous, and if you really work hard, you can do it completely.

So Chu Yuanxi put forward new needs to Xu Xin, and also put forward the idea of making an appointment with Meiduo and meeting and chatting.

"Ah, what are you talking to them about?" Xu Xin was naturally extremely surprised, he would definitely be able to make an appointment, but the problem was that he couldn't guess whether Chu Yuanxi's gourd sold medicine or not.

"It's just to get to know each other, let's talk, what's wrong? What do you think I'm going to do?"

"That's fine. Xu Xin was happy, "I heard that Meiduo considered merging Xiaokang before, and I thought you were ......."

"You have too many associations, right? If I really want to divide the luggage, can't I just divide the money in the accounts of the Pakistani people?"

Xu Xin wanted to say the same, Chu Yuanxi had no reason to ride a motorcycle up the mountain to chop firewood. "Then come and see me. Also, aren't you going to organize an investor call? When?"

"Let's see after a lot of perfection. Chu Yuanxi said lightly, since Xu Xin doesn't plan to be a childcare, then this phone call will actually have little to do with her, because she doesn't plan to pay for it. Now in this market, endorsement must be spent with real money, and not moving will not produce any endorsement effect.

Xiaokang's side operated, and in the afternoon, the launch of Milestone 5 and the deployment of the data center had all been distributed in Chu Yuanxi's own OKR, but the Ba people squeezed something. Lu Yu hurriedly made a report, saying that the Internet University of "Wudao Faint King" has a new choice, of course, iQiyi is relatively strong, and iQiyi gave a new option today, called "Anytime".

"What do you want?" Chu Yuanxi had never heard of it, and said in his heart, how could this name be so strange? Is it the meaning of "so-and-so to visit here" on the historic site casually when traveling?

As a result, Lu Yu said no, this is a medium-length video project launched by iQiyi, which lasts about ten minutes. Short video and long video are quite mature in China, but there is no fixed exploration environment for medium and long video, in other words, like the three major platforms and watermelon, Sina, Station B and other hodgepodge playback platforms, of course, you can upload 10-minute videos, but there is no requirement to upload only 8 to 10-minute videos, this is a fixed "exploration" of this specific type, and what is explored is the commercial prospects.

Therefore, this function that is being tested has begun to prepare the ecology, and the first step to prepare the ecology is to set a benchmark and launch high-quality and popular products to produce a money-making effect, thereby driving a large number of contributors to emerge. This style of play itself is very familiar to the Ba people.

It just so happened that at this time, the Ba people put the outline and synopsis of the newly cut online newspaper, but they had not uploaded it yet, and they were in the communication stage, and they originally only wanted to determine the exposure position. As a result, as soon as the other party heard it, he immediately lured Lu Yu to re-cut the film, and the original 90-minute online movie was cut into 8 to 10 videos with continuous plots, and then the traffic was tilted, and it was divided into large ones.

It should be said that the idea itself is fine, especially the advertising sharing model on iQiyi is quite mature, as long as it's too embarrassing to eat goodbye, don't give users a three-minute ad for a ten-minute video, it should still be okay. But Chu Yuan Xixin said that this is not the original micro-movie? the duration is a little shorter, a little fixed, what is there to explore?

The real exploration should be to avoid the old model of advertising sharing and find a new profit model. Just like Douyin Kuaishou's UGC was not profitable at the beginning, with the rise of traffic, it has gradually developed the Internet celebrity e-commerce model of short video delivery and short video + live broadcast delivery, which is called exploration.

Moreover, as the leader of a company, shouldn't there be a fixed pattern for dealing with this kind of suggestion? Chu Yuanxi asked Lu Yu: "What is your opinion?"

"I?I think, it should be worth trying, right?" Of course, Lu Yu thought about what choice he should make, and thought about how to take advantage of iQiyi's dividend, but the traffic tilt was a promise given by Mr. Gong. But when it comes to the group's main IP, of course, Chu Yuanxi has to make the decision himself.

However, when he saw Chu Yuanxi, he shook his head and said, "God has given me a real talent......
