141, regret (2/3)

Little Red Book Company.

Inside the general manager's office, smoke fills the air.

In the ashtray in front of Mao Wenchao, dozens of cigarette butts have been piled up.

Qu Ting sat opposite Mao Wenchao, a little distressed and a little confused.

"What time is it?"

Mao Wenchao's voice was a little hoarse, he didn't go home last night and sat in the company all night.

When Qu Ting came to the company, she saw Mao Wenchao's appearance.

"Wen Chao, we still have hope. ”

Although Qu Ting has her own husband, she has always admired Mao Wenchao.

The friendship between them has also been praised.

Mao Wenchao's suit is now crumpled, his face is greasy, and his face is a little pale when he stares at the computer all night.

Only the eyes are the reddest, and dense bloodshot fills the eyeballs.

"Yes, we still have hope. ”

Mao Wenchao seemed to be talking to himself, looking at the data in the background of Xiaohongshu.

"I didn't think he would be so ruthless. ”

Mao Wenchao took a hard puff of cigarette, and then spit out the smoke ring: "Little Blue Book?"

"Oh, that's ironic. ”

Mao Wenchao looked at Qu Ting a little decadently, and Qu Ting was particularly distressed.

"Wen Chao, our data is quite good, we are just starting, we may not necessarily lose, don't you believe in my ability?"

Qu Ting walked to Mao Wenchao's side and gently leaned Mao Wenchao's head into her arms.

"Trust me, we can do it. ”

"I'm sorry ......"

Mao Wenchao's eyes were red, and he blamed himself: "It's all my fault for being too greedy, if we could accept his investment at that time, we wouldn't be like this." ”

Qu Ting shook her head lightly, her smile was still flat: "Wen Chao, something has happened, what we need to do is to face it positively." ”

"yes, I don't believe he can really keep crushing us!"

Mao Wenchao felt Qu Ting's warmth, and the fighting spirit in his heart burned little by little.

"Ah Ting, I want to have a meeting immediately. ”

Qu Ting smiled with relief: "Okay, I'll go and prepare." ”

Mao Wenchao saw Qu Ting's figure disappear into the office and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking at the endless stream of vehicles, the pride in my heart gradually recovered.

It can be said that Mao Wenchao has never failed in his life, and it has always been smooth sailing.

After graduating from a prestigious school, entering the world's top 500, and going to Stanford to study BA, he got investors' funds to start a business after graduation.

What is the difference between this kind of life and hanging?

Only the appearance of Chen Dongcheng made Mao Wenchao realize that there were people outside the world.

He thought that Chen Dongcheng would be unwilling, but he never dreamed that Chen Dongcheng would set up a company, which is exactly the same as his own positioning and development.

It can be said that before the launch of Xiaolanshu, Mao Wenchao did not hear any news.

By the time I really knew, it was too late.

Little Blue Book has made a name for itself in the Apple App Store.

Relying on sufficient strategy preparation, many compatriots who shopped abroad were pleasantly surprised, and they recommended it to their friends, which has taken the lead.

The number of registered users of Xiaohongshu has just exceeded 10,000 today, but what about Xiaolanshu?

The number of users has exceeded 100,000, and it is still growing a little bit.

Oh no, Mao Wenchao shook his head, that's called a surge.

And that's without spending a penny on promotion.

Mao Wenchao didn't dare to think that Chen Dongcheng really threw a lot of money, so is there any hope for Xiaohongshu?

"I hope so. ”

Mao Wenchao thought to himself.

"Mr. Mao, everyone is here. ”

The secretary knocked on the door and reported.

"Here it is. ”

Mao Wenchao went to wash his face first, as the company's CEO, he is the pillar of the company.

If he gets discouraged first, the whole company will be finished.

In the conference room, people were panicking.

But with Qu Ting here, no one dared to say anything.

The company's gold medal partner still convinced them.

Mao Wenchao walked into the conference room, looked at everyone's expressions, and knew a rough idea.

"I know you're all worried right now, and I can tell you that Mr. Xu has decided to invest an additional amount in us, as long as the number of our users exceeds 500,000. ”

Qu Ting frowned slightly, glanced at Mao Wenchao, Mao Wenchao gave her a look back, and Qu Ting understood.

This is Mao Wenchao deliberately lying to give everyone a reassurance.

"That's right, Mr. Mao has already negotiated with Zhen Fund, as long as we follow the plan and implement it in an orderly manner, Zhen Fund will continue to support us. ”

Qu Ting's words also made the rest of the company feel relieved.

"I think it's a good thing that the little blue book appears this time. ”

Mao Wenchao said with a smile: "We didn't think about it so meticulously before, I bet that these strategies were definitely prepared by the people of Xiaolanshu." ”

What does that mean? It means they're coming prepared.

Unfortunately, they were exposed too early, giving us plenty of time to deal with it. ”

A successful company owner must have this ability.

Mao Wenchao's words made the company's management's fear of Xiaolanshu disappear a lot.

"And, what we can know from the little blue book is that we are on the right path. ”

Mao Wenchao glanced at the management who had returned to normal, and he was also relieved.

As long as the company's management is not chaotic, there will be no commotion among the employees at the bottom.

What he can do is to find the winning point as soon as possible, otherwise he can only be further and further away by Xiao Lanshu.

"We have to increase the incentives for users to share their notes, we're already slow, but we can do some raffles. ”

Mao Wenchao thought of a method that was not a solution, which was also a relatively common means of propaganda.

"Lao Liang, your operation department is responsible for formulating a publicity plan, and the publicity fund is set at 200,000, try to use this 200,000 yuan to bring me in a group of users. ”

The executive who was named hurriedly nodded: "Don't worry, I'll prepare in a while." ”

"Everyone else continues to work, the company's course remains the same, and I will inform you privately of whose work needs to be changed. ”

Mao Wenchao nodded and said, "The meeting is adjourned." ”

Waiting for everyone to leave, Qu Ting shook her head: "You, you have always been so bold, you dare to take out the real fund to fool them." ”

"Or else?"

Mao Wenchao smiled bitterly: "The morale of the company is no longer good, I don't think of a way anymore, then I don't have to fight, just surrender." ”

"However, Ah Ting, you really have to contact Mr. Xu of Zhen Fund, we may need a sum of money. ”

When Qu Ting heard this, she frowned and said, "Wen Chao, you know how greedy they are, are you sure?"

"Alas, Ah Ting, we don't have a choice. ”

Mao Wenchao gritted his teeth and said: "Horizontal and vertical are dead, if we don't develop, the company's equity will be worthless."

If we beat Little Blue Book, even if we only have 0% of the shares left, we will be billionaires. ”

Qu Ting was silent, the company belonged to her and Mao Wenchao.

She has as much as Mao Wenchao, which is Mao Wenchao's promise to her.

"Okay, then I'll contact Mr. Xu. ”

Qu Ting also understands this truth, when life and death are at stake, what shares do you still want.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ah Ting. ”

Mao Wenchao's expression was a little melancholy, and he gently hugged Qu Ting, and then left the conference room.

Qu Ting sighed, she had persuaded Mao Wenchao at the beginning, and her greed for a while had created her current remorse.

Why bother?

......

Xiaolanshu's results made Chen Dongcheng very satisfied, which caused Yu Jiaci's heart to itch.

"Brother Chen, it's inconvenient for Fang to reveal, why are you so happy?"

Chen Dongcheng didn't hide it: "I have good results in the company in the magic capital, so I'm very happy." ”

"The company called Little Blue Book?"

Yu Jiaci had heard Chen Dongcheng mention it before.

"Well, it's just getting started, but there's still a lot of potential. ”

Chen Dongcheng did not boast, and Yu Jiaci was skeptical.

Yu Jiaci does not know about the Internet, but it does not prevent him from admiring Chen Dongcheng.

How hard Internet companies burn money, Yu Jiaci is very clear.

"Brother Chen, this is the analysis that Ziliang and I did during this time, and we inspected the current situation of the Modu nightclub.

I found that many nightclubs are old, and many people in our circle used to love clubbing, but now they are a little tired.

Because the environment of these nightclubs does not stimulate their desire to consume at all. ”

Chen Dongcheng looked at the analysis made by Yu Jiaci, and analyzed the overall market of nightclubs in the magic capital today.

"I also deliberately researched a lot of fun-loving young people, and found that their expectations for nightclubs are big, luxurious, and the atmosphere must be good.

At present, the most popular nightclub is YST, and their biggest advantage is that it is large, which I think we must also pay attention to. ”

Yu Jiaci observed Chen Dongcheng's expression and said tentatively, "Brother Chen, what do you think?"

In the final analysis, it is Chen Dongcheng who really comes out on top.

"Well, it's not bad, you can see that you put your heart into it. ”

Chen Dongcheng closed the document and commented.

Yu Jiaci smiled bitterly: "This is an investment of tens of millions, we must be serious." ”

"Tell me what you think, how big do you plan to choose the venue, and what is the renovation budget?"

Chen Dongcheng took a sip of tea, not to mention, this is all evenly hairy, and the taste is really good.

Yu Jiaci took it out secretly from home and honored Chen Dongcheng.

Just this small bag, that is, 50g, wants to buy it but costs 70,000 or 80,000 yuan.

It can be said that Yu Jiaci really worked hard to please Chen Dongcheng.

Yu Jiaci has no interest in drinking tea, what he cares about is making money.

But in this situation, his 10 million is just an investment point that can make a small fuss, and it will not play a big role at all.

"Brother Chen, at present, the biggest and most lively scene in the magic capital is YST.

It can be said that if we really want to be the first nightclub in the magic capital, we must kill YST. ”

"So. ”

Chen Dongcheng smiled: "You have this ability?"

"Ahem. ”

Yu Jiaci was a little embarrassed: "Brother Chen, the water here is relatively deep, and we still have to pull people." ”

Chen Dongcheng thinks it's normal, doing this kind of business in the magic capital, if you are covered by no one behind, you will be killed in minutes.

"Is there a suitable person?"

Chen Dongcheng doesn't know the circle of the magic capital, but the second generation of the demon capital like Yu Jiaci must know it.

"Yes, it's Ziliang's small hair, very awesome. ”

Yu Jiaci looked excited, as if he was small.
