The agenda continues.

After the four speakers finished speaking, the school leaders made another speech, and finally solemnly announced in front of the camera: "I announce that the centennial East China Sea, the school celebration activity is officially launched!"

The applause continued.

Under the stage, Jiang Chao looked at the stage and slowly breathed a sigh. The speech just now said what he was hiding in his heart, and for a moment he had a feeling of melancholy.

Is this goal really possible?

At this moment, the entrepreneur next to Jiang Chao gently patted Jiang Chao on the shoulder: "Junior brother, what you said is great! I hope you are not just talking, you are still young and have enough time to fight for this goal! If you encounter any difficulties on this road, you can tell me, and I will do my best!"

Jiang Chao's mood suddenly improved, yes, such a big dream, how could he accomplish it alone? But the last thing that Huaguo lacks is that there are people with national integrity.

This road will not be alone.

exchanged business cards with the entrepreneur and added WeChat, and Jiang Chao's circle of friends added another well-known entrepreneur.

……

Time flashed and it was the next night. The eye-catching Tunghai University Centennial Gala officially began.

The arrangement of the program is very Tunghai University-style, mainly singing and dancing programs, including the elderly choir of the older generation of alumni, the youth campus folk songs of the new generation of alumni singers, and the science and technology display programs of science and engineering students.

The final finale was a large orchestral ensemble. The majestic "Yellow River", under Jiang Chao's interpretation, presents a level far beyond the original version, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

……

The kick-off meeting and gala of the centennial celebration of Tunghai University were broadcast live on CCTV. Jiang Chao's speech and wonderful performances at the party were also seen by many Chinese people.

I have to say that Jiang Chao's speech did resonate with many Chinese people. Especially the older generation of Chinese people, they have given Jiang Chao a thumbs up, and at the same time educate their children: "See, such children are the pillars of the country!"

But many young people disdain this, and some people think that Jiang Chao is putting on a show, saying one thing on his lips, but he may not think so in his heart.

Some people don't agree with Jiang Chao's views at all. Even a female student studying in a beautiful country reposted a video of Jiang Chao's speech on Weibo, while commenting: "Another poor worm who has been brainwashed." She once spoke at the graduation ceremony of the beautiful country, "As soon as I arrived in the beautiful country, I smelled the free air, so sweet, I was intoxicated." ”

After Jiang Chao saw this girl's remarks, he first frowned, and then sighed helplessly.

There's a long way to go.

Jiang Chao's speech caused a heated discussion on the Internet, but the memory of the Internet is often only three seconds, in this era of information explosion, everyone has to deal with too much news every day, everyone sighed for a while, commented, and soon forgot Jiang Chao and his dream.

Jiang Chao's life is gradually back on track.

Jiang Chao could feel that Judy's gaze at him was something different, it seemed like a little girl's gaze on a big hero...... Jiang Chao couldn't help but smile.

Jiang Chao and Judy's relationship has no ups and downs, no ups and downs, and some are just warm. Judy will not do it in order to test her status in her partner's heart like many girls, she will carefully prepare a happy breakfast in the morning every day, and then send Jiang Chao a sweet smile and a warm hug, and then go to school together.

But Judy occasionally still has some girl-specific thoughts, such as she said to Jiang Chao: "The book says that giving each other a hug every day and saying goodnight to each other before going to bed will deepen the relationship, and we have to stick to it!"

Jiang Chao thought for a while and seriously corrected Judy's words: "I have also seen this sentence, but the version I read is to give each other a kiss every day." ”

Judy's face flushed, and she turned her head shyly: "Hmph, then you must be wrong!"

Jiang Chao laughed, then hugged Judy from behind and gently bit Judy's ear.

Judy's whole face turned pink, and she turned around and slapped Jiang Chao gently: "What are you doing, I hate it!"

Jiang Chao's heart jumped, every time Judy said this word, his emotions would be teased. Looking at Judy's full and delicate lips, Jiang Chao couldn't help but want to do something further......

Judy lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "Don't look at me like this......"

This is the case......

Suddenly, Judy's mobile phone ringtone destroys this beautiful mood.

Jiang Chao's expression became very uncomfortable, Judy covered her mouth and laughed, then took out her mobile phone, her expression became slightly serious: "It's from the company!"

Jiang Chao had no choice but to wait for Judy to finish answering the phone.

Judy listened to a few words on the other end of the phone, and her expression gradually became excited: "Okay, I know!"

Jiang Chao looked at Judy strangely.

Judy hung up the phone and said excitedly: "Douyin has been launched simultaneously in major app markets!"

Suddenly, Jiang Chao's expression also brightened all of a sudden, and his previous charming emotions were forgotten in an instant.

However, going live is just the beginning. On the same day, they encountered the first trouble with the launch of Douyin.

……

At Douyin headquarters, all the backbones participated in this small meeting in the conference room.

After listening to Luo Wei, the financial director, analyze the current situation on Douyin, Judy couldn't help but look at Jiang Chao.

Xingchao Investment is the absolute largest shareholder of Douyin, and this is also the first time that Jiang Chao has attended the meeting as the actual controller of Douyin. Jiang Chao thought seriously and summed up a sentence: "I know that Douyin is currently short of money. ”

Luo Wei looked at this Judy's real boyfriend, after he joined Douyin, it was the first time he saw this magical young man in reality, thinking of Jiang Chao's speech at the kick-off meeting of Donghai University some time ago, he couldn't help but secretly admire Jiang Chao's extraordinary bearing, and even had a feeling of self-shame...... Indeed, such an excellent boy is worthy of a girl like Judy......

Jiang Chao said again: "If you are not prepared to spend money, you will not be short of money." After Douyin is launched, there are indeed more places that need to be overheaded, on the one hand, the maintenance and upgrade of the APP, which is unavoidable. There is also the aspect of marketing expenses. ”

Luo Wei nodded hurriedly: "That's right." In fact, 90% of a tech company's money is spent on marketing!"

There was a moment of silence.

Judy didn't speak, she was thinking. And the technical trident Dong Slow, Pan Jian and others are not good at it, and they don't know what to say.

Jiang Chao pondered for a long time and asked Luo Wei a crucial question: "You are in charge of money, have you calculated how much money we need?"

Speaking of his profession, Luo Wei became confident, "To be honest, the financial needs to maintain and upgrade the app are not much, and a few million are more than enough. However, marketing expenses are a bottomless pit, and all technology companies must spend a lot of money to seize users if they want to roll it out in the early stage. The more the better, and hundreds of millions of dollars are too little. ”

"But fortunately, we are the first in the market at present, similar short video companies have not come out for the time being, we will have a period of time to be relatively relaxed, but this period of time will not be long, we have to race against time!"

Jiang Chao was silent for a long time, and everyone looked at Jiang Chao silently, wanting to listen to his decision.

Jiang Chao's Xingchao Investment has just earned more than 100 million yuan for Wang Gongzi by selling the live broadcast company, plus some messy investment returns in the early stage, the cash is only a lot more than when Xingchao Investment was established, and he can take out about 200 million funds to chase Douyin through gritted teeth.

But if all the money is invested in Douyin, it means that Jiang Chao throws all the cost of trial and error into it.

Jiang Chao also has an option to find PE investment, and I believe that there will be a lot of capital who are very willing to enter Douyin. But this idea was vetoed by Jiang Chao at once. Douyin is related to Jiang Chao's grand goal in the future, and Jiang Chao does not want other capital to come in and divide the decision-making power unless it is absolutely necessary.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Chao's eyes gradually flashed, and he raised his eyes: "Xingchao Investment will invest another 100 million!"

Luo Wei nodded: "One hundred million is enough for us to spend a while! But it is estimated that it will not be burned for long." We can slash down on technology and spend the bulk of it on marketing. ”

Hearing this, the backbone of the technical department headed by Dong Slow suddenly became unhappy, but he didn't know how to refute it.

Jiang Chao shook his head: "No, we have to spend most of the funds on algorithm optimization and product upgrades." The core vitality of Douyin is our algorithm, please keep this sentence in mind!"

Luo Wei was stunned, revealing an expression of surprise. Slightly disappointed in his heart, in his opinion, how can a character like Jiang Chao not see which is more important at this time? Upgrading software is not a one-time thing, and seizing users at this time is the most important thing!

Jiang Chao seemed to see through Luo Wei's thoughts, and smiled slightly, "Of course, marketing promotion is also very important, but the focus is on marketing, not marketing expenses." ”

Everyone didn't react for a while, and Judy's eyes lit up: "You mean, marketing doesn't have to use money?"

Jiang Chao smiled: "When it's impossible not to use money, you can reduce this part of the expenditure." ”

Luo Wei frowned: "No money, how can you market and promote?"
