Chapter 716: Progress
Beijing, May 28, 2014.
There was a rain in Beijing on this day, and the old people always said that the weather should be hot after the rain.
Fortunately, at least when it rains, Wen Xiaoguang still feels very cool.
Although he is more eye-catching than ordinary entrepreneurs, he is still relatively low-key when he returns to Beijing, except for Song Yiqiu and the driver to pick him up, there is no one else at the airport.
"Congratulations to Mr. Wen. β
Song Yiqiu kept putting on her standard smile.
Wen Xiaoguang handed over the box in his hand to the driver, and took off the coat he had been wearing in the air-conditioned environment, "What is there to congratulate?"
βuberγβ
"Oh. He understood, "Actually, nothing has changed, it's still the same as before." β
Because that wealth is always just on paper.
"Tell me what's going on?"
After a few days away, there is definitely some work to be done when I just come back, and the most important thing at this time should be the preparation of the creator conference in 20 days.
So after a little trimming, Wen Xiaoguang returned to the company.
Wen Xiaoguang has not been seen in the Weituo Building for many days, and some female employees are not active in putting on makeup, and now they are caught off guard by the sudden return.
"Call Lao Li and Zhang Lin over. β
"Okay, would you like to pour you a cup of coffee?"
"No, call them first. β
Li Wenbo also wants to know that Wen Xiaoguang must have met with some investors or big funds when he went to the United States this time, which can be seen from the news, and there should be more behind the news.
Chairman's Office.
Wen Xiaoguang paced slowly, "There is no surprise in JD.com's listing, it is basically the same as we expected, maybe the subscription is a little surprising, but the stock price increase should be like this." β
"What are they going to do with the money raised this time? β
"This person is bold and careful, logistics is a heavy asset, and it has not yet been fully completed, I think the main investment direction should still be on this. β
Wen Xiaoguang understood what they meant, "The cooperation between WeChat and JD.com does not have to make major adjustments in the foreseeable five years, our investment has made JD.com's valuation soar, and they also provide us with a remuneration of no less than 500 million yuan per year, and the stock can continue to be held, I am optimistic about JD.com's stock price." β
If you remember correctly, starting from $20, JD.com's stock price has risen all the way, and finally its market value has surpassed Baidu's.
He made the final decision, and that was it.
"Our C round is very difficult to do, in fact, we are in an awkward situation. Wen Xiaoguang frowned, "On the one hand, Weituo is slowly self-supplying, and if there is enough time, we don't need a particularly large scale of financing." But once it really starts, it will definitely not be small. β
Zhang Nan reminded: "Mr. Wen, time ...... It is also a very valuable resource. β
Li Wenbo and Wen Xiaoguang smiled at the same time, but too.
"I think it's wrong. Wen Xiaoguang never shy away from saying his mistakes, if these people are stupider than himself, why spend so much money to invite him, "The Internet is easy to change overnight, we should get enough funds as soon as possible to support the development of the X Division." β
When Zhang Nan heard this, his waist straightened a little.
If it is a traditional industry, it is true that you can wait slowly, and after a year or two, Weituo's revenue will reach tens of billions, but in the Internet, this is the short-sighted behavior of cowards, and they are reluctant to take out their shares for financing every day.
"Then there is no problem, the only thing left is how to choose, and the valuation is up to the investment institutions to think for themselves. β
It's a kind of self-confidence.
When Li Wenbo began to speak, he said another thing, "I have already met Chen Bei. He found you a task, there is a college student village official named Qin Yuefei in Hunan, Yale came back, and he is also running for the education of the village, so since our fund wants to support this cause, he wants to say why don't you talk to him once?"
Wen Xiaoguang frowned.
He is not afraid to speak, and he thinks that he is relatively eloquent.
But he has an impression of this Qin Yuefei.
"What's the purpose?" Wen Xiaoguang didn't understand this proposal.
"Perhaps it is representative, but also a kind of support and reward for such people. β
Wen Xiaoguang immediately shook his head, "Since the cause of doing has something in common, then it is okay to support it to a certain extent, I have no opinion." But it is not necessary for me to have a dialogue with him. Because this involves politics, as for the reward, it is even more unnecessary, he has the spirit of dedication, the country has room for him to contribute, what is our turn to reward? Do we feel that he has been wronged?
Li Wenbo and Zhang Nan were speechless for a while.
If this question is pursued further, then it is necessary to ask who has been wronged.
"As for representativeness, although I am not a person who does good deeds without leaving a name, but choosing such a person and sharing the stage with him is too much for a show, Wen Xiaoguang is not going to rub his popularity, right? It's not that I'm pretentious, but it's not necessary, the foundation does something good, we don't hide it secretly, but we don't have to publicize it with great fanfare. β
"Moreover, such a representative figure will attract everyone to imitate, after him, other people will come to us to apply for support, do we agree or disagree? Disagree is to fall into the name of showmanship, agree, that is the bottomless pit, just everyone thinks that Wen Xiaoguang has made money. β
Hearing the three reasons for opposition, Li Wenbo couldn't help frowning, "That's ......"
Wen Xiaoguang pressed his hand weakly, "Do as I say." The establishment of the Weituo Public Welfare Foundation, according to the normal process, how to do this line, let's explore first, really not, first use a stupid method to get started, directly donate some things to the children in the countryside, Weituo does not have a product and mission of "spreading information", so it makes sense to donate some computers to the school, understand the world outside the mountains. β
"As for the rest, don't do it impulsively, otherwise it's easy to do bad things with good intentions. I'll say something unpleasant, we do this thing, not all for the user, but also for the above. β
The state is helping the poor.
Micro Tuo is also contributing.
Now there are fewer people, that's just the beginning, and it's increasing year by year, this truth always makes sense, right?
"Okay, listen to you, do things silently. β
"Hmm. β
Zhang Nan didn't say anything at the end, she took out something to display, and said: "After the previous Kuaishou project failed, the short video team in the business department worked very hard, and because I knew about June 18th, everyone was in a hurry and thought that maybe we could catch up with this time window." β
It seems to be a small product, but in fact, the technical difficulty is not small, and the service of short video APP involves short video collection, upload, cloud storage, cloud distribution and playback.
In terms of cloud storage, this is a cloud computing system with data storage and management as the core, in which the algorithm involves many processes, the scope of light, are very huge, and the construction of these services is complex, and the technical requirements for developers are not low.
The second technical difficulty is auditing.
At present, the video AI recognition technology is sufficient, and it is difficult for the data related to pornography, black, and spam advertising to bypass supervision and enter this app, but it is not completely separated from manual work.
To be honest, a big part of Weituo's recruitment is the Huang Inspector.
Because of the fire of the product, once the supervision is not in place, the state does not care so much.
But then again, no matter how difficult it is, someone has already made it, so don't be afraid. Anyway, there is no direct connection with Kuaishou, digging people.
Wen Xiaoguang didn't think it was so fast, so he was slightly surprised, "It's done?"
