Chapter 153: Did You Steal Vegetables?
At 6 o'clock in the morning, Li Min's alarm clock rang on time, she immediately got up from the bed, sat down in front of the computer with twelve points of spirit, she quickly logged on to the happy network, opened her farm interface, and began to sweep the vegetable garden of her friend's house.
"Lingzhi, Snow Lotus ......", Li Min muttered while selling her morning booty, looking at her vault with hundreds of thousands, she felt that she had gained a lot this morning.
After sweeping his friend's vegetable garden, Li Min began to wash up with peace of mind, and went out on time at 7:30 to catch the bus. She is just an ordinary member of the countless small white-collar workers in the imperial capital, belonging to the "three nos" Beipiao family with no hukou, no real estate, and no boyfriend.
After going to work during the Spring Festival, Li Min found a super fun game through her colleague's NSN recommendation - Happy Farm, at first she just wanted to relieve work pressure and relax after work, but now she feels a little unstoppable.
As an IT worker, she even uses electronic recording devices to include her friends' planting and harvesting times, and also uses mobile phone memos to remind her of the fixed daily time for stealing vegetables and receiving goods.
In order to make better profits, she also made a "Plant Income Table", which lists the output value of various vegetables, including seed prices, growth periods, maximum yields, minimum yields, etc., and then summarizes the average output value of each crop according to the data, and then sorts them one by one.
In addition, in order to upgrade and reclaim the land as soon as possible, Li Min also keeps adding friends on the Happy Network, whether they know or don't know each other, as long as they play "stealing vegetables", in just one week, her friends who "steal vegetables" on the Happy Network have exceeded 200 hundred.
Although Li Min has not been in contact with this game for a long time, she finds out that she has been poisoned and poisoned by stealing vegetables.
These things that happened to Li Min also happened to other urban white-collar workers, as if overnight, many white-collar workers began to go crazy at the same time.
"Did you steal vegetables?" has become a mantra for many white-collar workers when they meet.
After the new establishment of Kaixin.com was launched, He Junbian ran to Chen Binghao's company twice in three days, and Ding Le asked him to grasp the user data of Kaixin.com in time, and he didn't dare to be sloppy at all.
Before the Spring Festival, Kaixinwang moved into Zhongguancun Taipeng Building, and the number of employees in the company also increased by nearly 100 people.
"Boss, after the Spring Festival, the number of new users of Kaixin.com has a blowout trend, I think their new game is very popular!"
After Ding Le came out of Zhang Yiyi's side, He Jun reported to him the situation he had in time.
Ding Le took He Jun's post-investment report, read it carefully, and asked, "How is Chen Binghao's capital chain?
"The money we invested last time, there is still 10 million lying in the account is useless, he is very cautious in spending money!" He Jun responded in a timely manner.
In his previous life, 2009 was the most popular year for Kaixin.com, because of the rapid expansion of the company's business scale, Chen Binghao began to contact venture capital institutions very early, and in March, he received a total of 20 million US dollars in investment from Qiming Venture Partners, Northern Lights and Sina.com.
At present, because of the generosity of Ding Le's angel round, he gave an investment of 30 million at once, which led Chen Binghao to maintain the company until now, and there is no financial pressure.
"You have to pay more attention to this project, in addition to grasping the operating data in time, you must also promote the refinancing or listing plan of Kaixin.com as soon as possible!"
In Ding Le's view, Chen Binghao is a founder with a technical label, when he made venture capital, there were only about 20 people on Kaixin.com, and the company had no sales team, no advertising team, and even independent finance.
It was still at Ding Le's suggestion that Chen Binghao recruited a financial officer, and the previous financial operations were outsourced to a bookkeeping company. From the perspective of corporate governance, it was at that time that Kaixinwang began to consider building a complete corporate structure.
After Kaixin.com, he came into contact with Li Xiang, Wang Xin, and Zhang Yiyi, and through his contact with these people, as well as his own continuous learning, his understanding of the Internet has improved to a new level.
In the previous life, after the popularity of the game of stealing vegetables on Kaixin.com, the user growth reached 500% in 2009, but as peers followed suit and launched similar games, the user churn rate of Kaixin.com was as high as 65%.
"From what I know about Chen Binghao, he is a conservative and cautious person, and I am afraid it will be difficult to promote him to IPO now!"
He Jun was a little embarrassed by Ding Le's requirements, he had more contact with Chen Binghao, he knew that Chen Binghao was a special person, if he was not willing to do something, it would be difficult for you to move him.
Ding Le waved his hand and said that he didn't have to worry too much, he said: "If you add millions of registered users every month, it won't be long before he runs out of money, and if you talk about this topic again at that time, the result will definitely be different!"
The moment Ding Le decided to invest in Kaixin.com, he thought about the question of when to exit, and Kaixin.com may be the most eye-catching, but it is by no means the best business, especially since he has now invested in Weibo.
After Ding Le explained the matter of Kaixin.com, he went to Wang Xin's new company to learn about the latest developments of each group.
In the previous life, each group was a new project started by Wang Xin after Fanno.com was closed. Now, under the influence of Ding Le, Fan Fu withdrew from the stage of history ahead of schedule, and each regiment appeared a year early.
After experiencing the youth and confusion of the school intranet and the meal, Wang Xin finally found his true direction and started his third entrepreneurial journey.
While Zhang Yi was busy launching on Weibo, Wang Xin and his team were also working overtime to write code.
On the first working day after the Spring Festival, each group went online for trial operation and launched the first product, Fanya Wine Tasting Package. On the day of its launch, this package attracted 79 people to buy it, and the sales volume was close to 4,000 yuan.
Despite the dismal sales on the first day, Wang Xin intuitively judged that each group would be a success.
He positioned his new project as a new type of group buying website, the biggest feature of which is that he only sells one product a day, and only orders seven times a week, involving all aspects of eating, drinking and playing, and the discount is very large.
The office address of each regiment is also near Zhongguancun Square, and when Ding Le found Wang Xin, he was explaining the profit model of each regiment to the employees.
When Wang Xin saw the angel investors arrive, he naturally opened the official website of each group and bragged about it to prove that his project had achieved initial success.
He said proudly: "In China, this is a new concept and outlet, and I think it won't be long before he stirs up the nerves of capital and the entire Internet industry."
Ding Le listened to Wang Xin's words, and couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on him, he said: "I see that the website function planning and page design of each group are in accordance with the appearance of Groupon CopytoChina operation, as you said, this group purchase model has no threshold, as long as the capital pours in, other teams are also very tolerant of copying, how do you solve it?"
Wang Xin thought for a while and said: "It's easy to copy, but if you lack strong execution and offline promotion capabilities, it's hard to say." Our next focus is to recruit employees, build a team, and build our own combat effectiveness as soon as possible!"
"The next step is to find cooperation with offline life service businesses such as catering, KTV, and movies, first gain a firm foothold in the imperial capital, and then promote this model to the whole country!"
Ding Le looked at Wang Xin's confident appearance, and thought in his heart: There will be a cruel battle of thousands of regiments waiting for you in the future, and I hope you can still be as confident and optimistic as you are today......
