Chapter 891: Zhao Jie has to hand in the papers
"I really don't want to do that to any of the members. Chu Yuanxi said while eating brown sugar and nourishing the cake, "I don't believe you ask Yuan Yu, I was going to send them away to give them a bonus, and I didn't plan to record it publicly, who knew that they still wanted to break the net." ”
"Yes, yes, who wants to make a feud?" Yuan Yu said while chewing on the tripe, "If you want me to say that those people are really too vegetable, they don't know Chu Yuanxi too much." ”
Feng Qin suddenly clapped his hands, "That's right, are you still dead in the net? Don't look at the Weibo of the Ba people? Chu can always tear them apart." In fact, at the beginning, I originally wanted to enter the Ba people, really, but it turned out that Mr. Chu's focus was on being well-off, so I put my resume into a well-off. ”
Yuan Yu took a look, hey, this is still a fan of Chu Yuanxi, no wonder.
Chu Yuanxi looked at Feng Qinna and said while eating, but the two of them didn't take their eyes off their mobile phones, so they were surprised, "What video did you watch?
"Hey, you don't need to use so much wool for nothing, this is Souki's national school flower competition. ”
"Are you okay?" Chu Yuan Xixin said that you are about the same age as me, when you are thirty years old, what kind of school flower competition do you see?
"I can't help it, I just love life so much. Feng Qin stroked his big waist and said, "Now, there are too many plastic surgery faces, and the makeup is like a ghost, so it's better in school." As he spoke, he sighed: "Alas, this is forcing me to go back to school to find a girlfriend?"
"I'll go, what do you call loving life?" Yuan Yu was all happy, and said in her heart that you said that in front of the boss of the Internet celebrity company, what kind of intention did you say that plastic surgery face? After working in Xiaokang for a long time, she has adapted to wearing light makeup, and wiped the oil on the corner of her mouth with a tissue, "You are too idealistic, aren't you? I haven't hit a prey in the zoo for four years, how can you fight when you go back after coming out for so long?"
"What do you call idealism? I can, I can be a bodyguard for the school girl?"
Chu Yuanxi said in his heart that in terms of embarrassing me, I Chu Yuanxi would like to call you the strongest! He raised his hand to stop, "If you want me to say, those should be seen less in the future, in fact, the school flower does not hire bodyguards." Then you said that you have this taste, watch some high-end programs, and there are actually a lot of good online comprehensives now. ”
"It's a good show. Feng Qin complained for the show, "And the Chaoyang boss said that Souki should rely on social empowerment to realize the vision of returning to the media in the closed loop of entertainment ecology." Why can't I say it?"
Yuan Yu suddenly coughed violently, and tears of laughter came out. The burst of laughter and coughing broke her cycle of taking a bite and wiping her mouth.
Chu Yuanxi had no choice but to say: "This is not beautiful at all, and what kind of return to the media through social empowerment entertainment ecological closed-loop or something, you can rest." If you don't advertise to the media, you can't even make a splash, and you will return to the media. ”
"Hey, what you're saying, I think it's a good thing to do in the school flower contest. ”
"It's so hairy, which of the guests on the stage do you know besides the Chaoyang boss who is in the town in person? Chu Yuanxi said and poured a glass of water for Yuan Alfalfa, and Yuan Alfalfa easily wiped away her tears, leaving a very deep impression on Feng Qin, who loved life.
And Feng Qin, although Chu Yuanxi is also an idol, but the Chaoyang boss and the young ladies on the stage are even more idols, Feng Qin chose to speak up, so he put down his waist and stood with his palm: "Mr. Chu, I have to refute you." Although you definitely look down on the raccoon friend APP, this social network is rooted in the campus, and others don't have this gene. ”
"You're too layman, big brother dei, it's not that others don't do it, it's not that they can't do it, but they don't do it. For example, if you are attracted to the headline department, with the help of Douyin, all the participating videos are labeled, and they are ranked by the number of likes. This is called the national level, what do you think of the effect? It's much better than the scores of a few judges who don't know about it, right? It's too low, people don't do it. ”
Chu Yuanxi was talking proudly, Yuan Yuan dragged him and showed him the phone, Chu Yuanxi saw that it was Yuan Jing who told Yuan Yuan that OTO's Xiao Li Financing had found Zheng De's head and asked Chu Yuanxi what he thought.
"Look at the valuation, you can study its valuation by yourself, and you can invest if the valuation is appropriate. ”
"My brother must have asked him if the business model was working, not about valuation. You're going to let us play a game of drumming and passing flowers?"
There is no foundation in business logic, but the valuation seems to be appropriate, and it can actually be played in the investment circle, as long as the valuation goes up later, and someone with a bigger head can be found.
Yuan Yu thought about it, and without waiting for Chu Yuanxi to speak, he suddenly thought of a key question: "Hey, why didn't he look for Sun Dasheng?"
"I'm definitely looking for it, but Sun Dasheng is definitely going all out WeWork now. ”
Today is October 8th, the first working day after the holiday, WeWork, a shared office unicorn on the other side of the ocean, is in a crisis of broken capital flow, and is facing a difficult choice, whether to accept Sun Dasheng's financing bailout or accept ****'s debt bailout. The reason why it is said to be a bailout rather than the so-called debt financing and equity financing is because this giant beast, which was once valued at 49 billion, has been withdrawn, and the capital chain will be broken in a few weeks.
At this time, the money has not been found, it is undoubtedly extremely passive for the entrepreneur, and it is impossible for an angel in white to appear at this time, and to save Adam Norman, the founder of the shared office, in the form of financial investment, the conditions in any option must be extremely harsh. Consider not only the material impact on the business, but also the impact on the founding team.
"Oh. Yuan Yu thought about it, the first heavy stock in Sun Dasheng's portfolio had an accident, and the valuation was cut in half again, this is no longer a problem of breaking the muscles and bones, it is a question of whether the huge 100 billion vision fund will shake the foundation, presumably you will have to face a choice for Sun Dasheng.
After being stunned for a moment, she ate the last piece of fish tofu on the skewer and wiped her mouth, "Hey, why did you say WeWork couldn't work all of a sudden?"
"Hey, it's the end of the economic cycle. When the cycle is rising, new companies are opening everywhere, and there are many new companies + office space is tight, so of course you can do a maker space. Their company was founded in 2011 and entered the Celestial Empire in 2016, and the time was okay, so the bubble was blown high.
And now, it's the other way around, with fewer new companies + a lot of office space idle. Let's not talk about the company, even the shopping malls are shrinking, and the most prosperous Jinling West Road 'Mei Taiheng' iron triangle on the magic capital is gone, which is a landmark mall. You look at our building, the Ba people are well-off recently to occupy this floor, the neighbors are empty, let's say occupy it, the office building thanks me. Isn't it noisy for you to engage in shared office in this kind of environment?"
"But I've heard it's because their founders were greedy for pleasure?"
"That's all subsections. Chu Yuanxi said with great certainty, "Adam Norman is doing a world-class business, and the general environment is the most important. In the past ten years, the interest rates in the United States have been ultra-low, and a huge bubble will definitely be blown up, which is nothing more than who will blow it up first and how to blow it. ”
"Is that so?" Yuan Yuchao suspected, mainly because Chu Yuanxi was also an entrepreneur, and he would definitely defend Adam Norman, who was also an entrepreneur.
She heard that Norman also went to Maldives to vacation and surf during the IPO, and the New Yorkers at the headquarters were anxious, with a lot of thorny questions, and quickly knelt down to beg Norman to come back and sign important documents. Listed in the United States, the letter approval requirements are extremely strict, and professional managers have never seen such an unreliable entrepreneur, and Norman actually played a day less, and he was a wolf.
This is also the reason why WeWork's cash flow is on the verge of breaking, according to wishful thinking, it has IPO at this time, raising billions, of course, there is no cash flow problem. The harsh reality is that WeWork, as a coworking entrepreneur, is ironic that we're laying off thousands of employees to cut costs.
"Fortunately, people don't look down on us Zheng De. Yuan said that he was still a little afraid. If people had come to the door, my brother would have closed his eyes and voted. I heard that Sun Dasheng's plan is to take out 9.5 billion yuan at one time this time, and then add several rounds of investment in the past, totaling 19 billion yuan, and get a total of 80% of the shares. But WeWork's valuation was cut in half twice, and it collapsed if it didn't bail out, and now it's about 10 billion, right?
Chu Yuanxi suddenly said sourly: "Sun Dasheng is a war investment. Alas, you are usually financial investments, and you don't understand the psychology of war investment. The Ministry of War Investment considers valuation, and how much money I am willing to spend in order to achieve something. Probably Sun Dasheng is willing to do whatever it takes now, right? It's just that the rich people in Saudi Arabia are suffering......"
Of the 100 billion shares of the Vision Fund, nearly 50 billion is the money of the Saudi princes, so Sun Dasheng can do whatever it takes.
"Hey, hey, I digress, let's talk about OTO, how did we get to WeWork?Is OTO's business model workable?Can it make money?" Yuan said and stared at the other skewers in the pot, but considering the increasing age and the constantly reduced fitness time, he finally restrained his **.
As for whether OTO can make money, Yuan Yu does not have the embarrassment that he is not able to make judgments, because the routines of entrepreneurs are too deep now, and many models do not know whether they will succeed or collapse when they can't innovate. Therefore, as an investor, Yuan Ali can no longer look directly at these entrepreneurs who scatter coins to subsidize users, especially the well-off also to subsidize users.
As a result, she has become much more humble and no longer makes subjective judgments.
"Okay, what's not to do? The OTO set is not new?" Chu Yuanxi had actually thought of where Yuan Yu and Yuan Jing's thinking misunderstandings were, "Do you think that he is the only one in the world who is engaged in hotel tourism development?" In fact, there are a lot of similar models to him." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Feng Qin, "What kind of house are you renting?"
Feng Qin was pondering the conversation between Chu Yuanxi and Yuan Yu, he didn't know what OTO was, but he had heard of WeWork's famous name, and it turned out that it was about to hang.
"I rent it freely. But how do you know I'm renting?"
"Because you rented a house near the company and applied for a subsidy, I want to sign it. ”
This is a benefit that both Pakistani people and well-off people have. These two companies work a lot of overtime, so they can't leave the company at 10 o'clock in the evening and let the employees go to the bus, right? What should I do if there is no bus? So it is necessary to reimburse the taxi invoice, otherwise the employees have to leave work normally.
If you live far away, you will be reimbursed 100 yuan a day for a car, which is a lot of money in a month, so it is better to encourage employees to rent a house near the company, subsidize 2,000 yuan for the house, and work overtime.
So this is a good governance, at least Chu Yuanxi has succeeded in driving up the rent price in the nearby area, which has made a huge contribution to the sluggish real estate economy in the imperial capital.
"Then do you think you are comfortable in the pit?"
"It's okay, it's more expensive than the black agent, but the black agent doesn't pay the deposit. The quality of the house, furniture, appliances, etc., is much better than that of the black intermediary, and there are people who clean it regularly. ”
Yuan Yu interjected: "That's a service fee, right?"
"Heck, compared to the high rent, it's really not bad for that service fee. ”
Chu Yuanxi nodded and said to Yuan Yu: "What do you think of Ziru's model? Can it make money? Ziru is now also a company with a valuation of tens of billions, which is the same magnitude as OTO." ”
This set of games is called long-term rental apartments, and there was a lot of thunderous news last year. Some entrepreneurs have turned real estate into a capital plate, and deceived tenants into signing three-way contracts with P2P with various low-price subsidy tactics. After taking the tenant's deposit and paying three, he and P2P lent out all the money for the whole year to let the tenant repay the money, and then ran away with the money, no longer paying the landlord, and threw the tenant to the landlord and P2P for repairs, leaving a piece of chicken feathers.
But Ziru is a head player, and there is no risk of running away for the time being. As for whether Yuan Alfalfa can make money, I really haven't studied it, but from the perspective of common sense, it is nothing more than a problem of occupancy turnover and vacancy rate, which can be increased by brand, operation and service.
"Wait, Ziru and OTO are really a bit similar?" Yuan Yu suddenly reacted, these two are nothing more than one looking for a landlord and the other looking for a hotel, all of them signed long-term contracts for many years, and then they were all decorated in a unified style, and then provided standardized services, and gave the landlord and the hotel a guaranteed price.
Thinking about it this way, OTO seems stronger, because Ziru only guarantees the landlord, and OTO is still willing to share part of the profits to the hotel when it is OK to give the guarantee. And it was very atmospheric, saying to the hotel that this is because under the management of 0T0, the occupancy rate of the hotel will soar significantly, and then you will have to hire more waiters. This part of the profit is used by the hotel to balance the rising labor costs.
"Yes, O2O, it's actually all this set. WeWork is the same, it's just a matter of moving the target to the office building. ”
Yuan said in his heart, "Can we make money in the end? WeWork is less than a month away from going bankrupt! Similarly, hundreds of millions of dollars are not the same concept at all.
I only heard Chu Yuanxi say: "So in the final analysis, it depends on how much valuation you give." ”
Yuan Yu finally understood Chu Yuanxi's hidden words, no matter what investment behavior, in the final analysis, it must fall on the valuation, and everything will not deviate from its origin. Just like starting a business, no matter what the model, it will eventually fall on the cash flow, no matter how loud the concept is, there is no point in not making money back.
It's a pity that OTO didn't ask Penguin and Ali for financing, otherwise Zheng De would have been able to get a very precious opportunity to observe. Just like this year, when the penguins made a big bet, those who were ready to follow immediately got on board.
Thinking of this, Yuan Alfalfa had a new puzzle, and the penguin was just that, OTO and Ali have Sun Dasheng as a link, isn't it natural to come to the door to turn into a relationship?
However, this is not a problem for Chu Yuanxi, because in the original world, he was also extremely hungry when he did financing, but he didn't dare to take any money that he had scruples.
Presumably the same is true of OTO, which would rather go to retail investors.
Yuan Yu can leave after dinner, Chu Yuanxi can't leave yet, he has to go back to the Ba people for a meeting. After eleven, it is time for Zhao Jie to hand in the papers, and Chu Yuanxi needs to quickly switch between the business and thinking of Xiaokang and Ba people.
Since July 1st set the plan for the four mini games, it has been three months to this day, and while the four mini game project teams are going hand in hand, Ba Ren Information and Ba Ren Media are also working together on the premise of each task, providing high-quality materials, and creating a warm-up environment in place.
Among the active users of the Ba people now, there can be people who are not interested in or even disdain the mini game, but they will definitely not have heard of it. These video materials are either interesting, or exquisite, or elegant, or funny, but if Zhao Jie's little game is not fun, everything will be mentioned.
These four small games, in fact, in the process of advancing the development version, some can already be experienced, Chu Yuanxi has experienced "Animal Company", which is also the first one to be completed in the end, but it doesn't feel so ideal.
The main thing is that "Animal Inc" has made a TCG mobile game, and the theme is entrepreneurship, but the core content is the battle between companies. The small game made this time is still entrepreneurship, and the focus is on company construction, although it is different, it lacks freshness for Chu Yuanxi.
Therefore, he thinks that it may be a bit too conservative not to reject this project when the project was first established, and presumably the users of the Ba people, especially the old players of TCG, are likely to have similar feelings.
But the product has already been made, and in order to make something different from the famous "Cairo Game" series, Zhao Jie can be said to have racked his brains and added a large number of "company infighting" type gameplay and events. At this time, he objected again, saying that we should not go on again, even if he was the boss.
In particular, Zhao Jie has also made a growth curve of a large company, which can be described as ingenuity. As the company grows bigger, so does the infighting, which is a new way to play, and players must play well, otherwise the idle game may also cause a regression in strength, causing a decline in valuation and cash flow depletion.
