Xun Mi is in her early thirties, graduated from Stanford University, and has worked for two social application companies, Facebook and Snapchat.

At this time, he was sitting on the sofa in the luxurious office on the top floor of the Ruixiang Building, chatting with Zhang Yida.

He said excitedly: "Mr. Zhang, after our research and development and continuous testing during this period, Gaomeng APP has basically met the conditions for the revision and re-listing you requested." ”

Zhang Yida nodded, "Then tell me, what functions have been added?"

"The functionality has changed dramatically compared to before. ”

Xun Mi chuckled, "The previous Gaomeng APP was a promotion and distribution software, although the registered users were all college students, but they didn't have any social functions.

Now, we've added live chat, text, image, video sharing, and other social features.

In addition, we have added a lot of tools on this basis, such as class schedule reminders, recording class notes, grade inquiries, and so on. ”

Zhang Yida frowned as he listened, what the hell? Don't make a whole four.

"These functions sound very ordinary! WeChat and Weibo have these functions, why do students use ours?"

Xun Mi smiled: "Mr. Zhang, although WeChat and Weibo have these functions, they are still very different from us. ”

"Then tell me, what's the different method?"

Xun Mi explained: "First of all, are WeChat friends very messy? Students' parents, teachers, and all kinds of elders are on this.

When posting on Moments, I am often timid, and I have to set who can watch it. It's a hassle!

It would be different if college students used our Gaomeng APP. Our Gaomeng APP will set a threshold to verify the information of the student information network, and non-current college students and graduated college students cannot be authenticated.

The vast majority of those who can pass the certification should be college students, and everyone is the same age, so there are not so many worries about sending various news updates.

In addition, Weibo now has traffic and attention on various big Vs and entertainment circles, and has completely become a news release platform.

Ordinary people post on Weibo, but no one pays attention to you at all! The effect is not as good as WeChat Moments. ”

Zhang Yida interrupted, "Wait, do you want to make a real-name social or stranger social product?"

"Semi-strangers, they won't say pure strangers like Momo, and they won't be like WeChat's real-name model. ”

Zhang Yida asked again: "Do you mean that you don't need real-name authentication? Or do you want to choose to hide it after real-name authentication?"

"In the latter, we give the user the right to choose. In fact, after the user uploads the information of the school information network, we have already collected his real-name information.

As for whether he wants to make it public or not, that's their business!"

Xun Mi paused, and then said: "We also plan to try the LBS social solution, that is, strangers connect with each other through geographical location, realize information transfer, and social interaction.

Mr. Zhang, think about it, you are a college student, you are wandering around the school, and suddenly you pass by a group of beautiful women, and then the location reminder in your mobile phone will light up, showing that the distance is less than 10 meters.

Isn't that interesting? Is it fate? Maybe the next story will happen. ”

Zhang Yida was a little suspicious, "This trick you said has been used by people near WeChat and Momo, and it feels very ordinary!"

I think if you want to do accurate socialization, you still have to divide it according to your interests and hobbies!"

There are really no social talents in his hands, Xun Mi was poached by him at a high price from Snapchat, a very popular social software company in the United States.

Serab is a "burn after reading" photo sharing app, which is very popular among young people in the United States.

With the app, users can take photos, record videos, add text and drawings, and send them to their friends list on the app.

The main feature is that all photos have a lifetime of 1 to 10 seconds, and after the user takes a photo and sends it to a friend, the photos will automatically destroy on time according to the user's pre-set time.

Moreover, the user will also be notified if the receiver attempts to take a screenshot during this time.

"Hey, Xun Mi, do you think there is any hope of copying a salab in China?"

Xun Mi shook his head again and again, "Impossible, let's not talk about the penguin's reaction." In terms of national conditions and culture, people in our country don't like to send photos that are automatically deleted in a few seconds.

While some people are very open, most Chinese are still very conservative.

In fact, Ahri also tried it secretly.

At that time, the development of the "Contacts" project was not as expected, so it was renamed "Diandian Worm" in a low-key manner, focusing on the social interaction of young people who burned after reading, and it was completely reduced to a niche product. ”

Xun Mi said again: "Mr. Zhang, I understand your uneasiness. Because I don't really have much confidence in the track of campus socialization.

Campus socialization has also mixed up a school intranet, and most of the others are unknown.

This is still because the time and place were favorable.

The penguins are far from being as strong as they are now, Facebook has not swept China, and Huang Xin is a very good entrepreneur. ”

Zhang Yida nodded and sighed: "Yes! Before trying, everyone dare not say that they are 100% sure." ”

"We also analyzed almost all the mainstream social software on the Chinese market, such as WeChat and Weibo, including some of their specific functional designs and details.

The final conclusion is to focus on the campus and serve the students.

It is almost impossible to face the whole social market. If you can gain a foothold in the college student market, you can count it as a victory. ”

Although Xun Mi's words were a little pessimistic and unambitious, Zhang Yida felt that they were very realistic.

It's not one or two who want to challenge the status of the penguin king, but ninety percent of the corpses are cold, and there is only a little bit of market for one Momo, or because of the good play of the edge ball.

However, Zhang Yida didn't want to challenge the status of the penguin in the past, the relationship chain was there, and any efforts were in vain.

In the previous life, Duoshan, Chatbot, and Toilet MT released products on the same day, creating various gimmicks.

The media also said what "Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu", but the penguin didn't do anything, and he collapsed first.

After the novelty period has passed, the users have flashed, and the retention rate has dropped significantly.

Of the three mountains of BAT, the most difficult thing is the penguins. This is also a conclusion that countless social entrepreneurs have tried with corpses for everyone.

"Let's do it first! It's best to be able to stand on your feet, and if you can't stand on your feet, you have to create some content. ”

Zhang Yida said, "This time, Doushi will help Gaomeng hold a school flower selection competition, and the gimmick is created for you." Whether you can seize the opportunity or not is up to you. ”

Xun Mi frowned, "Mr. Zhang, your intention to let Doushi and Gao Meng get through is here! Let Gao Meng provide content to Doushi!"

"That's right! College students have a lot of free time, and there are many people who shake and tremble, which is a market that we can't ignore.

Of course, Gaomeng itself also has millions of registered users of college students, which can be regarded as a good foundation for campus socialization.

With such a good foundation, it would be a pity not to work hard. ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Xun Mi's eyes, Gao Meng's status in Mr. Zhang's mind was still too low.

If I can't do the Gaomeng project by myself, it is estimated that it will be abandoned in a short time.

"Mr. Zhang, I think if we want to socialize, it would be a little inappropriate to call it "Gaomeng"!

Today's college students are basically post-95s, and you need a cool name to attract them. ”

It's just a name change, Zhang Yida has no opinion, nodded and said, "Yes, what do you want to change to?"

"Moe School!"

......

Lu Qi ran back and forth for more than half a month, and finally completed the integration of Pindodo and Shake Vision.

Among them, a valuation of $9 billion was given to Pindodo, and a valuation of $10 billion was given to Douyin.

This valuation has finally satisfied the investors of both companies.

However, there is also a VAM agreement, which must achieve 100 billion yuan of GMV in the next year, and Douyin must achieve 10 billion yuan in revenue in the next year.

If the VAM is not completed, it is necessary to recalculate the valuation of the two companies according to the actual completion situation.

In this way, although the penguin does not take a stake, it does not feel that its equity is overly diluted, resulting in a loss for itself;

Ruixiang Industrial Investment Fund and Huayi Capital also felt that they were not at a loss, because Pindodo, in which they did not have a stake, also signed a VAM agreement.

After settling these two companies, Lu Qi began to integrate Huimin Travel Group.

"Mr. Lu, didn't Mr. Zhang say that all Huimin Travel Group will be integrated into Zhonghe Group?

Why don't you integrate all of them now, and only merge the part of the equity he holds. ”

Wei Cheng, the investment representative of CITIC Industrial Investment Fund, looked dissatisfied.

He's been under a lot of pressure lately, because CITIC has invested $300 million in Huimin Travel Group.

This investment is also because he was poured ecstasy soup, thinking that Huimin would have the opportunity to break his wrist with Didi after he traveled.

But with the merger of Didi and Uber, he felt like his dream was about to be shattered.

What's even more annoying is that Huimin Travel is still tossing the aggregation taxi, and there is no idea of launching its own taxi brand.

Hey, I'm on a thief ship!

"Yes, what Mr. Wei said is right, Mr. Zhang can't go back on his word?

It is the representative of SoftBank Investment who speaks, and at present, in the Huimin Travel Group, in addition to Zhang Yida, Black Shirt Capital and Penguin, they hold the most shares.

As the fourth largest shareholder, the words are still very effective, and many small shareholders have spoken out in support of SoftBank.

Lu Qi had a plan in his heart, and he was not surprised at all by this scene.

He said very calmly: "What Mr. Zhang means is that at present, Doudo, Shake, and Huimin Travel have not yet made a profit.

The three companies are bundled together, and the losses are too eye-catching, which is not good for follow-up financing and valuation.

What he means is to make Zhonghe Group the largest shareholder of Huimin Travel, and the rights and interests of all shareholders will remain unchanged.

Zhonghe Group will use its various resources to help Huimin Travel make a profit as soon as possible. ”

"You can't think of a one! For Huimin Travel to make a profit, does Mr. Zhang have any instructions for any good way?"

Zhu Xiaohu of Jinshahe Venture Capital is a little alert, what does Zhang Yida mean by this?

Afraid that Huimin Travel will drag down Zhonghe Group, and have no confidence in the future profitability of Huimin Travel?

Zhu Xiaohu thought a lot for a while, and began to think about the way back.

They also have a 4.38% stake in Jinshahe Ventures, which is worth $262.8 million based on a valuation of $6 billion.

This investment is more than fivefold compared to the $50 million at the time of the investment.

But this is all a paper return, and it is always false until it is safe.
