Chapter 168: Three Types of People
The second type of people is the most normal, and they have become rich again, among which investors who have been teased before but have not taken care of Xiaokang, or who have invested once without continuous investment.
The problem is that now the capital wants to invest in the well-off, but Chu Yuanxi began to take it up, mainly because he didn't want to offer the price now, and he didn't rely on the price now, and he wanted to wait. There are many modules that can be made stronger, such as telling the story of the fresh module.
You must know that the well-off integration of fresh food start-ups is not changed to a pick-up point, the original APP of fresh users is changed to a well-off version of a certain fresh food, and then the guidance is over, which is all external work. What the integration needs to improve is endogeneity, reduce costs and increase efficiency, and practicing internal skills also has an impact on the overall valuation.
Chu Yuanxi directly issued an internal open letter after the initial completion of the integration: the fresh supermarket has a wide range of users, according to the company's important investor Ms. Xu Xin, called "high-frequency, rigid demand, large crowd", if we use the way to burn money to do scale, but the cost performance is low.
Therefore, the collective task of the well-off fresh food sector in the next stage is to focus on solving the main contradictions in the development of the industry and pay attention to the continuous precipitation of long-term value. To this end, we must fully carry forward the spirit of entrepreneurship, aim at the pain points of the industry, integrate the supply chain advantages of the original units, tap and aggregate more high-quality supply chain resources, increase the proportion of direct procurement at the source, enrich our categories, and reduce our costs.
At this time, Ganxin has been developing freely for half a year, and it is already a force to be reckoned with in the upstream supply chain of eastern Guangdong Province. However, most of these C-end start-ups integrated by the well-off have no business in eastern Guangdong Province, so they still need to do a good job in the supply chain.
This work is actually beneficial in the long run, and even if the well-off convenience store stores cover the current fresh food operation area, it will still be of great value in the future. In fact, this is also what all powerful fresh food start-ups are doing, the first thing that ambitious people do when they get capital is to smash into the supply chain and logistics, and those who are not ambitious rack their brains to subsidize users.
The City Treasures module is also valuable and has not yet been explored. Of course, the most important thing about this function is to point to payment, point to social networking, and as the entrance to the computing power that carries the block cloud, but it also has commercial development value, in addition to map advertising, it can also exist as an LBS data engine and participate in some smart city projects.
The so-called data engine is actually a toB or toG service, and well-off users have a large number of online at all times, distributed in a variety of different behaviors, such as cycling, entering shopping scenes, in companies or communities, etc., which can be determined by location, trajectory and behavior. When the number of users is large enough, a certain area can be predicted through user tags through the push of the mathematical model.
For example, if a hotel can purchase a well-off "business guidance" in the future and launch a preferential package on the same day, the price may be higher than the rigid and immutable package combination it hangs on reviews and word of mouth, and the sales volume can still rise, reaching both volume and price.
In fact, Google and Facebook are proficient in this kind of data engine, but the main purpose is to optimize the advertising plan for each mobile game, improve the efficiency of advertising, and increase the activity and ARPU value of mobile games using the engine.
The domestic huge engine and Guangdiantong, including Baidu information flow, are slightly inferior in this field, and have not yet been in line with international standards, but it should not be too slow. After all, this is real money, a service that can greatly improve advertising efficiency, and of course, it will also greatly increase advertising costs. Like the headline system, the main source of profit is advertising fees, how can you not worry about construction?
In this way, there are many product lines that can be enriched and perfected by Xiaokang, and even the most poor ones, such as the quality life brand plan, can actually be incubated according to the model of independent subsidiaries. As long as the group itself is strong, it is very simple to incubate its product line, because it is a channel and does not worry about sales.
Of course, if there was no Ba Ren Group as the last line of defense, Chu Yuanxi would definitely not go to this kind of thing, and taking money anytime and anywhere is the most important thing. And even now he is willing to listen to the quotes, which help to calm Ali.
In fact, if Ali decides not to invest in well-off Southeast Asia, he plans to introduce Elizabeth to this kind of person, which can be regarded as a better spare tire.
The third type of people want to dig up Cao Xiang. It should be said that this reaction is also reasonable, and he can clearly recognize the value of Cao Xiang, which is quite discerning. But if it can be dug up, the Coalition of Deniers has already poached it, and it will not be left to them.
Now the most worrying thing about Cao Xiang being dug up is actually Chu Yuanxi, because Cao Xiang's sense of mission is quite strong, and the equity and options obtained in Xiaokang are very fierce. Although his mission now is to completely change the technical model in the field of cloud computing rather than the blockchain field, which makes Cao Xiang feel a little regretful, but the touch bypass is also very good, after all, it is a mission that can change the world, and Chu Yuanxi is much smoother than in the past when he talks to him, so he is not worried at all.
This involves a question, when should we talk about feelings? When we should really talk about feelings, whether it is for employees, partners or consumers, it should be the time when we are about to succeed, imagine the future, our ambitions are about to be realized, and we see the dawn of making the world better through our efforts.
Instead of talking about feelings when the product is not done before the product is pre-sold, let others pay for their feelings. Talking about feelings like this will only make people wonder if this person really has this feeling? Or is it convenient to make up a piece of feelings? Everyone can have feelings, but it is certainly not a good feeling to induce others to pay for their own bad feelings for the sake of their own feelings.
These three types of people are enough to bring out Lao Fan's psychology, so now for him, Xiaokang is "solid and explosive", and Chu Yuanxi has become the more stable one. Thinking of this, Lao Fan erased the conversation that had been typed and wrote: "The investment matter is actually not in my hands, I will tell the group." Do you have any qualifications?"
Chu Yuan Xixin said that you are also a person who is worthy of his word, although it is true that he is not responsible for investment, but he is qualified to be transferred to the core business sector as the president, what are you polite to me? But it is a good phenomenon to be willing to talk about conditions, and he also became polite: "I? I don't have any conditions, you don't put forward any conditions that are too excessive." Valuation is easy to discuss, but unless Elizabeth does not use Xiaokang's technology and systems, it will definitely be controlled by Xiaokang's headquarters. ”
In the case of a branch, of course, the technology and systems of the head office are used free of charge, because 100% of the controlling parts of each other. However, if it is a subsidiary, that is, the introduction of external equity, the technology and system provided by the parent company must go through the process even if it is authorized in the form of a single yuan, otherwise it is not justified.
According to Chu Yuanxi's original plan, it was also to be authorized in a one-yuan model, but if it was a corporate investment introduced, this one-yuan authorization would test Elizabeth's loyalty. The question is, why is she loyal? Chu Yuanxi doesn't pull the rope to control, how can she be loyal?
Of course, the world is dynamic, Ali is also constantly advancing, and it is not so simple to get Ali, a fat sheep. This is also the reason why Chu Yuanxi first thought of Lao Fan, it must be fast, and if Ali realizes all the functions himself, he will lack the motivation to invest.
In late April, AutoNavi Map was unwilling to be lonely and launched the user's "team" function, which has both social intentions and builds connections from people to places, which is similar to the city treasure to some extent, very flavorful, but the goal is not as clear as the city treasure.
In fact, there is another important thing this month, that is, it is time for Baisha to hand over. His shipment finally became smoother under Chu Yuanxi's drum (wei) and encouragement, and Uncle Sheng's evaluation was acceptable.
As a result, after Bai Sha delivered the manuscript, he went to the Ba Ren side, accompanied by Uncle Sheng, visited the Ba Ren Group, and then turned to Chu Yuanxi's side, and he couldn't put it down after seeing the prototype of the VR headset all-in-one machine mailed by Mu Lian in his office.
Chu Yuanxi had no choice but to remind him that this was a kind of goods, and it could only be used as an ornament to determine the appearance.
Mu Lian's work is the most bottomless one for Chu Yuanxi in the entire Ba people and Xiaokang's business lines. Although the task and work direction were explained in February, and in March, he went to Guangdong Province to build a factory in eastern Guangdong Province accompanied by Jiaotu, not to mention that compared with internationally renowned large factories such as Ocruz, even the domestic VR equipment factory has been built for many years and has been iterated many times.
And Mu Lian only has 9 months, and it is certainly not easy to speed up to catch up with other people's levels, not to mention that she is not a professional manager, and her skills are not necessarily comprehensive.
Fortunately, the Ba Ren Group has money, and the banknote ability is the most suitable to play a role at this time. In particular, Mu Lian is still doing human resources, and the most gritted human resources skill is to "aim at the target", in the past few months, she has raised the Luoyang shovel and dug it up at the bird's-eye view, the big demon king and other domestic head manufacturers.
Therefore, during this time, Ye Ping had to interrupt the relevant training of the secretary of the board of directors to help Mu Lian fight the lawsuit, which is still a bit disgraceful, especially when bullying others to compete is not strict enough and the treatment of employees is not so good. However, correspondingly, it has also greatly accelerated the speed of research and development, and there are no detours in one step. This is also the advantage of latecomers, isn't Xiaokang also studied by others with a magnifying glass?
Bai Sha was a little disappointed when he heard that it was not a prototype, but he still picked up the helmet and looked at it. The appearance of this version provided by Mu Lian is a blue and white match, the streamlined shape is quite futuristic, and the appearance is passed anyway. As for the specific design details, Chu Yuanxi didn't know much about himself, and it didn't take long to get this appearance version, but he didn't expect Baisha to put it on three times and five by two, and then take it off and say: "There is a little light leakage." ”
Uncle Sheng was stunned: "You still understand this?"
"Of course, I've played dozens of VR games, and I'm a veteran of VRchat!"
Chu Yuan Xixin said, is this the reason why you are delaying the draft?
I just listened to Baisha's review and said: "The appearance is quite good-looking, the eye lining is okay, and I don't feel uncomfortable wearing glasses." The key is that the weight is relatively light, and this is good. I was surprised that when I buckled the headband and rotated, I could feel the crisp feeling of the metal gears being pulled, so I wondered how the sound was?"
Chu Yuanxi took the headset and pointed to the inside of the headband: "The speaker is hidden here, I don't know what the effect is, the factory director ensures that the effect of panoramic stereo is outstanding, let's talk about it then." ”
"Is it 6 degrees of freedom?"
"Of course. ”
The appearance and hardware experience of the device are actually not to be ignored, shape, weight, etc. are very important, the mobile phone is heavier, lighter, lighter, wider and narrower, and it will also affect the user's choice, the headset should be put on the head, at least let people play for half an hour without picking it off, of course, the tonality of the product is more important. The reason why Apple is popular is that appearance, size, weight, etc. are indeed very influential factors.
Of course, you can't go crazy and do it like Teacher Gongsun making a hammer.
This product is expected to be built on Qualcomm Xiaolong 865, storage 6G+128G with expansion card, the screen is a 4K resolution LCD screen +72Hz refresh rate, the viewing angle is more than 100 degrees, and the weight can be only more than 300 grams to affirm the miracle effect of Luoyang shovel.
Compared with Facebook's VR headset Oculus Quest, both performance and weight can be said to be comprehensively crushed, and the price, Ba people must be the price butcher, the estimated price is 3999, on par with Xiaomi 10. This butcher's knife is already quite sharp for a VR headset.
During this time, Chu Yuanxi even felt that he should transfer a certain amount of energy to the VR career of the Ba people, because the opportunities given by the market are really good, and there are many people who plan to seize the opportunities.
The so-called good opportunity is that Facebook's Oculus cannot enter the domestic market for non-commercial reasons, in other words, it artificially creates a market gap.
In 2019, the sales volume of Oculus headsets was only a little more than 700,000, but more than 300,000 units in the fourth quarter, and the demand is surging. By 2021, it should be no problem to sell 3 million units in China, which is a good market, and the demand will definitely surge in the future as the network speed becomes faster and faster.
But the discerning people are not only the Ba people. Similar to Chu Yuanxi's strategy, there are also friends in China who plan to make equipment and platforms at the same time, reproducing the grand occasion when Apple's mobile phone drove the AppStore to the peak. You must know that Apple's revenue is the largest in the AppStore, although selling equipment also makes money, but it requires a lot of costs, how low is the cost of collecting tolls? If you can achieve winner-take-all, the benefits are not too big!
Relatively speaking, the speed of the Ba people has been slow, and they have been taken to the front by others, but there is still a chance, and this opportunity is the so-called killer application.
What is the killer app? It's Angry Birds to Apple.
Domestic friends make both equipment and VR app stores, but they don't make apps, and can only be used as a channel to accommodate the products of VR application developers. Or stream with platforms like Steam, allowing users to play big PC VR games like Half-Life: Alyx, Rhythm Lightsaber, and more.
This market behavior is certainly necessary, but there is no uniqueness.
And there are no killer VR applications on the market, so the business of friends is not on fire, but also fragile, and can be killed by killer applications that appear on other platforms at any time.
The Ba people attack on three fronts at the same time, and the game "Enemy of Rome" is the killer application that Chu Yuanxi is looking forward to, which is used to attract users and kill friends. This is the natural advantage of the Palestinians when participating in this war.
Of course, this has to be excellent in "The Enemy of Rome", so Yu Wenhui is only now being ordered by Chu Yuanxi every day.
However, Chu Yuanxi still felt a little powerless. On the one hand, the whip is beyond the reach of Mu Lian, what Mu Lian did in Eastern Guangdong Province can only be confirmed through the pepper map and even the side of Du Xian, and he needs Mu Lian to make a machine emperor-level experience.
On the other hand, he doesn't have any experience with VR, maybe he doesn't have as much experience as Baisha. Not to mention the interactive experience of hardware, and the system, etc., I don't really understand how to do this app store, and should I make a difference from the mobile app store? What about the user use process? What are the design points?
Copying the model of the mobile app store is probably not the best solution.
So he can only cross the river by feeling the stones, Chu Yuanxi feels that this is where he wants to allocate energy, and he plans to extract the two business lines of VR equipment and app stores to form a subsidiary.
However, the candidates are a little stretched, Chu Yuanxi pondered for a moment, Mu Lian must not be able to, she does not understand IT research and development. To lead the company's production, R&D, operation, business and even channel Wumen newspaper, you can't be ignorant of virtual reality, Chu Yuanxi will be quite difficult on his own, sure enough, the greater the ambition, the greater the ability needed, and the business line in this gestation process is not ordinary in terms of ability requirements.
In fact, in his sight, the most suitable candidate is Zhou Mingjun, the CTO of Xiaokang, but Xiaokang can't do without Lao Zhou as a tool man, which is very embarrassing, and he may eventually have to hire an external executive to parachute in.
Fortunately, during this time, the atmosphere of the Ba people is not bad, and it may not be too much of a problem to parachute a professional manager. The reason why the atmosphere is good is because the GEM has also opened a registration system, since the end of April, the relevant departments have made a final decision, and the Ba people have become a lot calmer, Chu Yuanxi has already announced the listing plan of the Ba people, and even Ye Ping has begun to train the secretary of the board of directors.
The science and technology innovation version may not be able to be listed, and the condition of the GEM is that it will definitely overflow, and it can basically be listed within four months after applying. In this case, all the Ba people who hold the options have become harmonious, and even the usual thorns have become mellow, and it is not a little bit of trouble to be fired by the company at this time.
Thinking of this, Chu Yuanxi ended his short thought. While he was deep in thought, Marius also ran over, and then chatted with Bai Sha, just when he heard the servants talking about the change in the form of the Internet world.
