Now what must be solved for the peak visual effects is the follow-up funds, the previous 20 million has burned a lot, and new money must come in, and as Chu Yuanxi calculated before, the beginning of June is a critical time node, and the cash flow is close to drying up. Cash flow is depleted and wages are in arrears? I'm sorry, but what about art outsourcing?

In other words, if there is a problem with this financing, then there is a risk that the venture will die young, not a verbal risk, but really no money!

Originally, this was not a problem at all, backed by the Baren Group, the accounts were full of cash, and you could eat and drink enough milk at any time, which was nothing more than a matter of how much valuation. Even why they should open up to the outside world for financing, and why they must bring in external investors instead of the Pakistani people themselves to win the A round, Yang Jiangang and Chen Kuo have not thought about it in detail.

Now they seem to have finally found their senses, Chu Yuanxi's support for them after a long time is not unlimited and unconditional! The Ba Ren group can leave at any time, but they can't go, it's as simple as that!

But what's so strange about this? After all, this is their common cause, but it is not Chu Yuanxi and their common cause, Chu Yuanxi is just the father of the gold lord, not his own father. For Chu Yuanxi, the company of peak visual effects couldn't be simpler, if it works, it will be supported, and if it doesn't work, it will be pulled down, isn't this the normal judgment of a normal person? Why did he hallucinate and maintain it for so long?

Is it because the feelings of former colleagues are too deep? Or is it because Chu Yuanxi is too concerned about this small company? So that he has the feeling that he is still Chu Yuanxi as the emperor and he is the minister? People just put forward a few opinions and helped them think of some solutions, and they fulfilled their responsibilities as CFOs and investors, why are they so stupid?

At this moment, Yang Jiangang clearly felt that he had realized, and he no longer had the idea of "there is Chu Yuanxi anyway" when he encounters something. Even if Chu Yuanxi is a jingle cat, it can be Zhu Yu's jingle cat, Qi Yu's jingle cat, or even Yuan Yu's jingle cat, but it is definitely not his jingle cat.

It's just that this sobriety made him feel stunned, as if the most sincere illusion had been punctured by himself.

However, at this time, he can't be sad, and he must save the sacred heart, otherwise the chain of the company's development will be broken!

Thinking of this, Yang Jiangang hurriedly flashed and blocked the door, "Chu Yuanxi, wait, I didn't mean that." I'm just exploring various possibilities, and we must still do financing at a valuation of 700 million, not a penny less. The investors I am looking for are too pheasant to be on the table at all, and I have to learn from you and Yuan Yuan in this regard. ”

Chu Yuan Xixin said in his heart, "It's not this problem, Lao Yang." The problem is that I'm losing faith in you, you know? The biggest thing I'm disappointed in you is that you don't have the ambition to be an entrepreneur. A project should be 10 billion, you do 5 billion, others think you are very successful, you should be painful - no - desire - life!

The real entrepreneur must be an ambitious person, while he is young, he must find the biggest stage to show himself, the valuation and financing amount are open to the bloody mouth, do the most careful planning and suffer the most vicious beating, and do everything possible to make a big thing after perseverance.

You're good, you have ideas, but you're rich, and I don't have any confidence in you. You have no value, your current value is not much higher than that of planning in the game project team, why should I waste time? ”

"I want so much valuation and financing, what should I do if I don't survive the beating?"

"If you have this kind of idea, it is not called starting a business at all, and you don't even have the confidence to ask for a price after meeting an investor! Let me tell you, the more you see a big-name investor, the more ruthless you have to ask for it. The true meaning of entrepreneurship is how ambitious and capable you are, and how many investors you have to play with. Your own heart is not big enough, and no matter how big your ability is, you can only find small fish and shrimp to play with you.

Are you afraid that you will bring disaster to the investor's money? Disaster will be a disaster! The investor boss has the heart to let you get into trouble, and as an entrepreneur, this should be due! You may still take the investors with you, why don't you want to? Isn't it natural to bring them to fly with you? You let such investors disappear quickly and mellowly. ”

Yang Jiangang has never been able to understand the logical relationship between entrepreneurship and financing as completely and thoroughly as now, and suddenly felt a rush of chicken blood: "Then how can I have confidence?"

"How are you?" Chu Yuanxi thought in the blink of an eye: "You must have the consciousness that after the failure of the business, you will have nothing, and you will gamble on everything without thinking about the way back, so that I can have confidence in you." You can't keep leaving room for yourself and want to retreat, this kind of thing Chen Kuo can think, you can't think about it. ”

"Okay-" Yang Jiangang got out of the way and stood next to the window, "Then I'm full of confidence now! You have found investors for this financing! I can't reach 700 million, so I'll jump from here!"

"you, you're on the first floor!"

"Hahaha-"

Suddenly, a small sound like a sand sculpture resounded in the sky above the peak visual effects.

In the following week, the peak visual effects internal was advancing in an orderly manner at the most efficient speed, and Yang Jiangang's hand-tuned products gradually matched the sound and post-production. Especially about the road talk, because Chen Kuo also has to go up to speak, so the two of them almost ate and lived together this week, and in the eyes of outsiders, they are about to develop into friends.

Chu Yuanxi saw that they were in this state and did not hesitate to teach stunts, doing business only needs to look at the profit margin and turnover rate, that is, to see the speed of making money, but in doing business, there are constants and variables. What do you say to investors? Talking about how to find your own limits is a good topic, and it is easy to get the approval of investors.

The question is how to find it? After finding its own variables, given the variables, you can measure where the limits of the enterprise are. Of course, this requires an insight into your strengths and weaknesses.

This week is also a week of steady development of Xiaokang Milestone 3, just looking at the number of registered users is quite gratifying, but the repurchase rate and the number of VIP users without using coupons are still far behind.

This is also human nature, after all, each of these things is not new when taken out separately, and when combined, let alone uncles and aunts, even white-collar workers have never seen it. Therefore, it is very normal to have a wait-and-wait mentality, what if the coupon is issued later, what if there is a bigger discount? Just keep watching.

As for the VIP, of course, it is not busy adding, although there are a lot of benefits after adding VIP, and the ride is completely free, but, in this era, there are not too many people who close the store and run away after the VIP. Just this month, there is a company in the south called Xiansheng Youyu, which has opened more than 100 chain stores, which is big enough, right? The news that came out on May 10th, the explosion is called a miserable, the VIP card is charged with 3,000 yuan and sent a few hundred, the problem is that there is no tweed shop yet, who can stand this?

You must know that even if it is the imperial capital, the best district in the world, those gyms, barber shops called modeling centers, and even restaurants, there are those who are still working with membership cards but the stores are gone. Even the special money leopard, who can't run away no matter how you look at it, has run away, who to reason with?

Some people even changed the store to a signboard and continued to do it, the original skewer store is still a skewer store, but the previous VIP did not admit it, this shamelessness is not what ordinary people can imagine. So much so that there is a saying in the rivers and lakes called "running and drying", that is, the ratio of the amount of money that can be swept away by running away and the hard-earned money earned by hard work. The urge to run away after this value is large enough to a certain extent is absolute, and the people who have suffered greatly have been pitted again and again, can they not have a little heart?

This is called a well-off shop, although it doesn't do any VIP recharge, VIP is just a service package qualification, but the bells and whistles, it's complicated, in short, it's not a big mistake to be careful.

This is also the case in the original world when a well-off store is opened, and Chu Yuanxi is completely calm. Because of this link, as long as the riding data maintains a steady growth, it means that the user viscosity has not been damaged. Those users who are on the sidelines, even if they want to get more free riding coupons, will turn back, they have not lost, opening the APP to sweep the bicycle means about twice a day to interact and wake up. That's the benefit of combining a convenience store and a bicycle.

A week passed in a blink of an eye, and on Tuesday, May 28th, Yang Jiangang was like a great enemy, and the entire peak visual effects staff were dressed up and looked energetic, because investors had already arrived one after another.

The investor this time was actually contacted by Zheng De, and he didn't look for potential investors who were well-off. In fact, there have always been a lot of capital forces in China that are interested in playing the mobile Internet, especially playing platforms, and it is a long-term outlet, which is no less than chasing hot spots. Therefore, although the concept of local life and new retail is very hot, it is not difficult to find powerful investors for peak visual effects.

Although the list had been shown to Yang Jiangang in advance, how did he know who was who? Therefore, when he came to the venue, he found that there were three people who were particularly familiar, which was really a surprise within a surprise.

These three are the three investors who participated in the online lottery of the annual meeting of the Pakistani people, You Bolong of Aurora Capital, Gu Hongru of Haiyi Fund and Dong He of Comfort Investment. At the beginning, he went up to say hello under the leadership of Chu Yuanxi, and his face was familiar.

This made him feel confident and had three more points.

The first person to take the stage is usually in charge of technology, and in terms of peak visual effects, it is Chen Kuo. The part that Chen Kuo is responsible for is the easiest place to get out of this financing, that is, the engine and patents that are cut first and then played.

You must know that the current engine is still the same engine as it was at the beginning, but the function has been improved, and the patent is a patent that was conceived out of thin air, although the effect achieved is similar to that shown in the existing engine, but after all, the two are not yet rounded.

Therefore, Yang Jiangang sweated extraordinarily, for fear that there would be technical experts among the investors, and he would find out the problem at a glance, and if he really wanted to find it, there would always be clues to be found.

Even Chen Kuo was ready to sacrifice himself, and if something went wrong, he would put the pot on his bare head.

Fortunately, there was no such person in the audience, so he successfully completed the display of scientific and technological achievements.

The content of this link is full enough, the various effects of the engine are displayed, the proof of the patent application, etc., and there are more than 20 patent applications, at least from the visual effect, it still looks quite good.

Soon it was Yang Jiangang's turn. The number of roadshows he and Chu Yuanxi do is completely different, and they just do it! Demonstrate how this engine can be used by ordinary people and how it can be pushed to the platform. In fashionable terms, this is called letting the product speak for itself, and according to Chu Yuanxi's words, this is called demonstrating the language with diligence in action.

The biggest feature of this engine or platform is that users can produce their own content, and then share the copyright income with the platform, providing the environment and resources for production. Then the platform takes care of everything, responsible for selling copyrights to the outside world, and also responsible for allowing ordinary viewers on the platform to broadcast and watch for free or for a fee.

As for where the traffic on the platform comes from? The investors here today basically know what the Baren Group does, so there is nothing that must be emphasized.

In terms of this form, the routine of peak visual effects is very similar to the Internet, and the threshold is as low as possible, so that everyone can create, but only the best of them can stand out. Among them, if the copyright is completely fine, it will enter the commercialization stage. At this time, Uncle Sheng's copyright purchased from the outside comes in handy, which can be provided to the producers for free use, and then commercialized to generate value-added.

But in fact, this is also very different from the Internet, the first is that no matter how large the art resource library is, it is impossible to be perfect, and the animation creator wants to produce high-quality content with the support of this set of overall low-level art resources, and he has to buy the additional art resources he needs. Whether it's models, actions, special effects, or scenes, there is a need for customization. This need to be met by the platform as a transit point, charging the animators, who then translate the animators' needs into professional needs to the art department.

The second is that the threshold still exists, and it is necessary to express the animation content in a tabular way. Yang Jiangang went up to demonstrate this process, how to mobilize resources through tabulation and form a plot.

His expression was very focused, giving people a feeling of fascination, and Chu Yuanxi and Chen Kuo, who were more familiar with this process, could see that he was super fast today, and he was extremely familiar, not like a start-up company boss, but more like a gold medal maker who was fighting on the front line.

Soon, a short animation without post-processing was completed, and Yang Jiangang first played the first episode of the first season of "Animal Company", which had been made into a high-quality product, and then compared it with this hot animation clip, and suddenly, Chu Yuanxi took the lead in applauding.

Seeing that the enthusiasm of the applause was not bad, Chu Yuanxi decided to insert strongly, in case he didn't speak, Yang Jiangang was trembling as soon as he opened his mouth, and he was blind to such a good form and impression.

"I'm Chu Yuanxi, everyone knows me, right? I want to briefly summarize Yang Jiangang's greatest strengths. He has a particularly good trait that most people don't notice, and that is that he is a person who is very good at organizing overtime. ”

Speaking of this, I laughed at the "uproar", and only heard Chu Yuanxi say: "Overtime increases income, operation creates value, this is a point that is very worth investing in." I have to make this clear to you, otherwise it will affect your judgment of the value of this company. ”

"What does this mean, Mr. Chu?" You Bolong asked while laughing, "Does it mean that overtime pay is not paid?"

"No, no, let me give you an example from the perspective of industrial management. Chu Yuanxi gestured with his hands and said: "It means that if an enterprise is the kind of enterprise that can directly turn the work output of employees into revenue, then the revenue generated by a R&D employee working for 8 hours is 20 yuan, 10 yuan is issued to employees, and the maintenance cost is 10 yuan, and the enterprise does not make money."

What should I do if I don't make money? An operation employee superimposes the benefits of this research and development to 50 yuan in 8 hours, and also has to send 10 yuan to the operation, 10 yuan to the maintenance, and 10 yuan to the enterprise. Right?

But what if they work overtime to 12 hours? The account is 75, and the overtime pay is proportional, and the R&D and operation are 15 each, but the maintenance cost is actually 10+10, which increases to 25 at most, so the company earns 20. Employees work half of the overtime and earn twice as much, which is to increase income from overtime and create value from operations.

In addition, as the boss of Uberon said, Yang Jiangang can also consider not paying overtime pay and relying on chicken blood to work overtime. That's what makes a difference. ”

There was a burst of laughter below, as if investors had seen the money-making bills flying towards them. Only Uberon hurriedly waved his hand: "Hey, I didn't mean that, I refuted this kind of behavior, and the core values of socialism are my guidelines." ”

"The big guy is right, the company is not sorry to earn the 20, because the 20 yuan is the value of the entrepreneurial idea. This is the cornerstone of entrepreneurship, and his value is that two people earn you 20 yuan a day. There is a ceiling to this operation, your idea determines the height of the ceiling, and below the ceiling is exposure, and the speed of making money is as fast as the scale. But after reaching the ceiling, it will not work, and the effect of increasing the scale is not obvious.

Therefore, whether your idea is good or not determines the ceiling height, and if the idea is good, the company will be valuable. As we all know,The ceiling of the platform is the highest,Drainage can theoretically be drained to the world,This platform can be promoted to European and American users,Anyway, doing animation is a matter of art from the appearance,The world can be pushed,There is no need to consider any language barriers,Users find dubbing and BGM by themselves。 ”

Chu Yuanxi listened to it when he said this, and decided to continue blowing, "Then, there is also our Ba Ren Group behind the operation plan, which is basically fine." ”

Gu Hongru, who was sitting in the audience, listened to it and immediately took over: "Mr. Chu, some people say that your operation is the third in the general world, the first penguin, the second Ali, and the third is you, what do you think?"
