271. Pinch your nose and recognize it
If you analyze the development history of shared bicycles in detail, it is easy to find that shared bicycles are the product of capital maturation.
The already vague profit model does not stand up to scrutiny at all.
As a result, it was a group of capital, and it was hyped into a tuyere industry.
If you want to talk about the operation of Qingju bicycle, it is really not difficult.
A group of engineers have been recruited to continuously upgrade software, improve positioning technology, and reduce the damage rate of bicycles as much as possible.
There are quite a few bicycles, all of which are found in some people's homes.
We can never ask too much for the quality of our people.
At the beginning, Chen Dongcheng expected something.
Ding Baoshan said indignantly: "I really don't understand, a broken bicycle of a few hundred yuan, as for it?"
"You can't figure it out. ”
Chen Dongcheng shook his head with a smile and asked about financing: "I read the email sent by Zhao Yin before, and he said that Sequoia intends to lead our A round. ”
"Yes, in addition to Sequoia, Warburg Pincus in the United States is also interested in us.
Both agreed to give a $1 billion valuation after the investment, and it became a dilemma which one would lead the investment. ”
Ding Baoshan said with a smile: "Warburg Pincus has invested in Shenzhou before, and we are very interested in the travel software that we just need.
Zhao Yin and I had dinner with Wei Zhen, president of Huaxia District.
His purpose is simple, simply to be optimistic about our potential. ”
In today's era of deposits, without Harrow's-stirring stick, everyone has developed impressively.
Invest in ofo because ofo has a low valuation and can get more shares, but the same risk is also greater.
Investing in Qingju Bicycle means that the risk is small, but the shares that can be obtained are also small.
For some capital with a more conservative investment strategy, Qingju Bicycle is more than an order of magnitude more likely to succeed than ofo.
Ding Baoshan said with some hesitation, and said for a while: "Sequoia asked us to reserve 20% of the option pool this round, compared to Warburg Pincus, which only asked us to set aside 15% of the option pool. ”
"Up to 15%. ”
Chen Dongcheng chose Warburg Pincus without hesitation: "You go and contact Warburg Pincus and let Zhao Yin talk to them specifically." ”
"Okay. ”
Ding Baoshan naturally didn't want his equity to be diluted too much.
However, thinking about Qingju Technology has been valued at more than one billion US dollars in just the A round, it is like a dream.
Chen Dongcheng doesn't have much money in his hands now, and besides, sharing bicycles is a proper big money-eater, so he will continue to throw money into it when he is crazy.
Take the money of capital to develop, and finally sell yourself to magnesium group or Didi smoothly.
Historically, Didi asked for a price, but it was a bit expensive, so it was cheaper.
Compared with Mobike's peak valuation, it was sold at a lower price.
Didi didn't cooperate at all, and it was difficult for Mobike to find someone to lift the bar.
Chen Dongcheng suddenly thought of one thing, and explained to Ding Baoshan: "Regarding the preferential liquidation right, you told Zhao Yin that I must control it." ”
Ding Baoshan is not a rookie with black eyes, he understands what is going on with the right of first refusal, and nods cautiously: "I know." ”
If the preferential liquidation right is not well controlled, it is likely that Chen Dongcheng and them have been busy for so long in vain, and finally made a wedding dress for the investment institution.
After explaining the same, Chen Dongcheng went upstairs to Shangdong Technology again.
In the general manager's office, Zhuang Yanting looked at the documents unhurriedly, which were the daily affairs of some companies.
"Here, you sit first. ”
Zhuang Yanting smiled, wrote her approval on the document, and put it aside.
"I'll pour you a glass of water. ”
Zhuang Yanting got up to pour water, put it on the coffee table in front of Chen Dongcheng, and asked, "Have you gone downstairs to see it?"
"I just went there and chatted with Baoshan for a while. ”
Zhuang Yanting knew that Ding Baoshan, Chen Dongcheng's hair was small, and he was also the agent pushed out by Chen Dongcheng.
"That company has a lot of potential, and recently I heard a lot of friends talking about Qingju Technology. ”
Chen Dongcheng said with a smile: "How can the company I invest in be too bad. ”
"Shangdong Technology is not as good as Qingju Technology, we started earlier than others, and now we are barely worth $500 million. ”
Zhuang Yanting's tone was a little depressed, and the feeling of being powerful and having nowhere to do it was too uncomfortable.
Chen Dongcheng smiled and comforted: "Mr. Peng of Yuansheng Capital, you also mentioned it to me during this time.
He plans to try his best to confirm the C round of financing of Shangdong Technology, and he will help you contact Mr. Liu from CEFC. ”
"That's good, we only have users now, and we don't make a profit.
In addition to earning some traffic fees and diversion fees, there are too few monetization channels. ”
This is almost a common problem of mainstream Internet companies, which have huge traffic but lack a way to convert.
"Super Orangutan Hop, you know?"
"You know, I sometimes go to work out after work, and I've talked to her a few times. ”
"They have a great idea, they plan to make a peripherals for super orangutans.
Such as clothes, fitness classes, some customized services.
This kind of creativity, I think you can also try it. ”
Zhuang Yanting said thoughtfully: "Recently, I am thinking about making a treadmill, that is, I will invest a lot of research and development funds. ”
"It's not impossible to develop hardware, make good use of Keep's traffic advantages, and there are still users who are willing to pay. ”
Chen Dongcheng smiled and encouraged: "Do it boldly, I'll give you a cover." ”
"Well, I will. ”
Zhuang Yanting has always been anxious about financing, and after seeing Chen Dongcheng, she has eased a lot.
"By the way, you said before that you planned to sell the super orangutan to keep, when are you going to do this. ”
"Even if you were asked to buy it now, you wouldn't be able to afford it.
But if the Super Gorilla really merges with Keep, don't you think it will stimulate this group of capital injections even more?"
Chen Dongcheng continued: "In addition to the offline gym that is directly operated by Super Orangutan, I also invested in a company called Ghost Gong Technology, which is responsible for the development of the offline gym management system.
After a while, you merge the two companies separately.
Tell the capitalists about the concept of building a fitness system, and I think they will be very excited. ”
After the merger, Keep has both traffic and offline.
It is completely possible to direct online users to offline gyms, which is a very good business closed loop.
The premise is that the super orangutan is willing to cooperate with Keep.
Who made Chen Dongcheng the largest shareholder of Super Orangutan, accounting for more than 80% of the shares.
Whether to merge or not is a matter of Chen Dongcheng's words.
They know this very well, but since they choose to start a business, they have to accept the strength of capital.
Compared with other capitals, Chen Dongcheng respects them enough.
Asking for money to give money, the super orangutan has now come out of Pengcheng.
has successively opened stores in the capital and the magic capital, relying on Chen Dongcheng's strong support.
Zhuang Yanting naturally did not take Chen Dongcheng's proposal lightly, thought about it and said: "Not long ago, I had an idea for Double Eleven.
I've found that many users are reporting that they are not familiar with sports equipment.
I plan to try to increase the e-commerce department and test the waters of vertical e-commerce. ”
As soon as he heard the word e-commerce, Chen Dongcheng's brows jumped.
E-commerce is almost naturally equated with burning money.
It's rare to see an e-commerce platform that didn't start by burning money.
Of course, it is not surprising that Zhuang Yanting has this idea.
"E-commerce should try not to try well, it is easy to gain more than it loses. ”
Chen Dongcheng shook his head and vetoed Zhuang Yanting's plan.
Zhuang Yanting couldn't help but insist: "Although we burned some money in the early stage, we don't ask for much sales, but mainly try to activate our users." ”
Seeing that the number of users is approaching 100 million, and there are more than 20 million monthly active users, it is impossible to monetize, how can Zhuang Yanting not be in a hurry to explore the profit model.
But if you go online for e-commerce, the biggest problem is that Keep can't afford to play at all.
In the final analysis, vertical e-commerce has a limited ceiling for development.
Jumei is the best example, once more beautiful, but how miserable it will be in the future.
Chen Dongcheng was very optimistic about this road and cut it off directly.
Keep can't stand the toss, don't take any user growth, it's the biggest return to investors and other to fool people.
"In addition to hardware, you can try to make some sports peripherals, such as Keep clothing.
Although you don't do e-commerce, you can give Blue Whale a traffic entrance.
I'll let you talk to you about the cooperation. ”
Zhuang Yanting's eyes lit up, obviously she had heard of the name of Blue Whale Overseas Shopping.
In the cross-border e-commerce platform, Blue Whale Overseas Shopping now ranks first in market share temporarily.
The lead is not big, but it is strong enough.
After chatting a few words with Zhuang Yanting, Chen Dongcheng caught a plane to Hangzhou.
......
Xiaoshan International Airport, Terminal 3.
A few girls were at the exit of the station, constantly looking around.
One of the girls, dressed in a black jacket and with a high ponytail, couldn't help but mumble.
"Xuanxuan, is your boyfriend unreliable, he bought such a late plane, and we are all starving to death. ”
"Oh, don't complain, can't I have a treat at night?"
Guo Jingxuan originally didn't plan to bring a few girlfriends, who let Guo Jingxuan say that she missed it.
This didn't happen all of a sudden, and it stabbed a hornet's nest.
A few girls had to come over to see what the man who could subdue Princess Guo looked like.
"Come, sisters, keep your eyes open and see what magic is done to the men of our princess. ”
A girl looked at the crowd who were pushing their luggage to the exit and said excitedly.
Not long after, Chen Dongcheng and his group of six walked to the exit of the station, which was very conspicuous in the crowd.
"Wow, that handsome guy wouldn't be it, would he?"
"Let me see, the one who is surrounded by four bodyguards?"
"That's right, it's him, I went to celebrate Xuanxuan's birthday before. ”
"Mom, no wonder you can subdue Xuanxuan, she looks too handsome. ”
"The most important thing is that the family background is not ordinary, don't you see that people travel with four bodyguards?"
......
A few girls were chattering there, and many male travelers thought that the girls were looking at themselves, and their waists suddenly straightened up and smiled.
Chen Dongcheng walked to the exit of the station, and naturally saw it.
Guo Jingxuan stood at the front and rushed over excitedly.
After accumulating his strength suddenly, he jumped on Chen Dongcheng and said with a sigh.
"Miss me...... Bastard...... They didn't even dare to talk to me at school...... Will definitely stay a few more days this time......"
Guo Jingxuan said a few words that she had been holding back her stomach for, and saw several sisters coming over with unkind faces.
"Guo Jingxuan, can you not be ungrateful?
Our sisters are hungry and waiting for your boyfriend, and you're going to give us only dog food?"
"That's it, get down here. ”
Guo Jingxuan came down generously and proudly introduced Chen Dongcheng.
"Officially, my boyfriend, Chen Dongcheng, the male god that you female dicks will never be able to chase. ”
"Wow, I'm so angry, Guo Jingxuan, your skin is itchy, right?"
The girl with a high ponytail couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and made a gesture to clean up Guo Jingxuan.
Guo Jingxuan smiled mischievously and hid behind Chen Dongcheng: "I'm angry with you, okay, let's go quickly, we're all starving." ”
Everyone walked out, and the appearance of several girls was considered to be more than a beauty.
The ones who can play with Guo Jingxuan must also be some Bai Fumei.
The tall ponytail girl blinked her eyes and shook the car key in her hand: "The four of us are exactly two sports cars, how can you go back?"
Chen Dongcheng was a little puzzled and looked at Guo Jingxuan: "Then how did you come?"
"One of them took a taxi and the car was taken for maintenance. ”
Guo Jingxuan picked up her mobile phone and planned to call a car.
"No, I called someone to pick it up in advance. ”
Chen Dongcheng smiled and pressed Guo Jingxuan, Xie Jingyu took out his mobile phone and started to contact.
After saying a few words, three cars stopped at the airport gate.
A Bentley is in the middle, with an Escalade in the front and rear.
Qingju Technology also has an office in Hangzhou, and someone is responsible for explaining this matter.
The tall ponytail girl was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Xuanxuan, your boyfriend is very good." ”
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, I'll see you at the hotel. ”
Guo Jingxuan raised her chin proudly and followed Chen Dongcheng into the car.
Xie Jingyu closed the car door, smiled at the girls with a high ponytail, and sat in the co-pilot.
"Tsk, this travel standard has to start with at least one billion assets. ”
The girl with a high ponytail smiled and said to the girls around her, "Let's go, we can only drive by ourselves." ”
Not long after, two pink Lamborghini bulls appeared on the road and followed the convoy.
Chen Dongcheng also noticed the two sports cars following behind him and didn't say anything.
Guo Jingxuan glanced at it and said helplessly: "They don't have bad intentions, they just like to make trouble." ”
"Boss, do you need to get rid of them?"
Tao Qihua, who drove a Bentley, suddenly asked.
"No, just open it normally. ”
Chen Dongcheng does not doubt Tao Qihua's driving level, he is a good man with the ability to drive experts.
A few girls, it's strange not to be crushed by him.
Tao Qihua nodded, didn't speak again, and continued to drive in silence.
Guo Jingxuan felt a little strange and asked, "Are they all your new bodyguards?"
"Well, your dad should have a bodyguard for you, right?"
"It must be a good match, let you come this time, my dad also wants to meet you. ”
Guo Jingxuan suddenly felt a little shy, and glanced at Chen Dongcheng: "Our father knew about our cohabitation in the pure waterfront villa. ”
Chen Dongcheng held Guo Jingxuan in his arms and expressed his heart with actions.
Guo Jingxuan really understood what Chen Dongcheng meant, and her big eyes narrowed in satisfaction.
She knew that Chen Dongcheng was not the kind of irresponsible man.
Chen Dongcheng was thinking about the jokes he read on the Internet.
What do you do if you put someone's daughter to sleep, and what should I do if my father-in-law wants to cut me.
It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.
Chen Dongcheng didn't believe it, Guo Jingxuan and her father were willing to push out of the door with such an excellent son-in-law.
Take 10,000 steps back, and the rice is already cooked.
This level of Weng-in-law relationship, no matter what, Guo Jingxuan and her father have to pinch their noses to admit it.
