Lanzhou Kai asked Yang Yi out, drank tea in a private club where he had shares, and complained as soon as they met: "Xiao Yang, you are so unkind! That day I hung up my appetite, and it was gone, if I hadn't let people do business research, I just happened to see your name and didn't know that you had such a big industry!"

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, he knew that Lanzhou Kai was doing investment research on Internet companies, but he didn't expect that there would be his own company on the list he got.

Yang Yi didn't want Lanzhou Kai to know before, worried that he would doubt his motives. But he didn't expect the consulting company to recommend him to Lanzhou Kai.

It's really fate, it's wonderful!

"Sahara online mall?" Yang Yi asked.

Lanzhou Kai showed a surprised expression: "The Sahara is also yours, isn't that the property of a boss named Fu or something?"

The consulting company first asked him to invest in the Sahara online mall, and Lanzhou Kai also entrusted the investment bank to negotiate with Fu Jun, but Fu Jun's price was a bit high, and Lanzhou Kai thought that Fu Jun was playing him as a Kaizi, so there was no follow-up.

"I'm just a small shareholder in it, but what are you referring to not the Sahara online mall?"

"Micro-broadcast!" Lanzhou Kai said with a glare.

Yang Yi really didn't expect that Weibo, a product that is still in its embryonic form, has also been favored by consulting companies, it seems that we can't underestimate the eyes of people at the elite level of this world!

Now Weibo does have a certain influence, with tens of millions of registrations, and the actual users are about one million, and because of the increased investment, Yang Yi has now begun to let Mao Peifu set up a company to integrate Weibo and Facebook into one company, and the company name is registered, which is called "Houlang Technology Company".

People in this world may not be able to understand the meaning of the back waves, but Yang Yi knows that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and this company will become the last back wave on the beach......

On the road to regularization, Yang Yi naturally wants to hire a professional professional manager to give the "back wave" to take the helm, after the company is completed, Mao Peifu will take a back seat, as the manager of the personnel department while working and learning.

I have to say that Mao Peifu is indeed a very good management talent, but she still lacks some experience in the operation of large companies. If Mao Peifu shows the level that Yang Yi wants to see in the future, Yang Yi may not let her go further.

And Yang Yi did not break his promise, and signed a new contract with her, who had done a lot of work in the early stage, for a period of four years, if Mao Peifu still held an important position in Houlang after four years, then Yang Yi would give her three percent of the original share award.

That's a lot!

It's a bit far, and now Lanzhou Kai wants to invest in Yang Yi's microbroadcast - he hasn't known the news of the establishment of "Houlang" yet.

"My investment advisor suggested to me to buy Weibo because the social network has a lot of potential for growth. But since it's Xiao Yang's company, I won't do it, if you have money, let's make it together!" Lanzhou Kai smiled heartily, "I'll give you funds, you can speed up your development, what do you think?"

Lanzhou Kai used a consultative tone, obviously he didn't want to affect the relationship between them with Yang Yi because of this matter.

However, Yang Yi frowned: "Brother Lan, let me tell you the truth! Microbroadcasting is actually a project that is not profitable, whether it is in the early stage or in the later stage, it requires continuous capital investment, and in terms of income, I haven't thought of a particularly good profit model......

Of course, Yang Yi still has an idea about the profit model, but what he said is not wrong, micro-broadcasting is indeed not good to achieve profitability, even if it is a slag wave in the previous life, it will take more than five years to turn losses into profits, and the secret of turning losses into profits is that it seized the short videos that were popular at that time and the Internet celebrity economic outlet with live broadcast as the carrier.

Yang Yi did this micro-broadcast, although he said that he could sell it at a good price in the future, but the main purpose was really not to make money!

"So if you invest in microbroadcasting, it is better to invest in the Sahara, this online mall is currently the largest online shopping platform in China, but this market is far from being developed. If you think about the billions of people in the country, if there are one-tenth, that is, about 100 million people shopping on the Sahara, how terrifying is this cash flow?"

Yes, Sahara doesn't make as much money as the new online shopping platforms do today, but he can use the low price of his products to attract more customers and collect more orders. Higher sales volume also allows them to have lower restocking costs and longer checkout cycles.

As a result, the accumulated cash flow allows them to do more things, such as making investments that come quickly.

But Yang Yi temporarily restricted Fu Jun's approach, and instead asked him to use the funds to expand the scale of the Sahara, such as building a logistics team, such as improving service quality, such as advertising more and expanding more marketing channels, which combined with lower and lower product prices formed a strong competitive barrier with opponents who had just entered the industry.

They want to leverage the Sahara's customer base, which is almost impossible with the advantages that the Sahara has built!

Of course, the Sahara has not yet reached such a large scale, after all, online shopping is still a new thing, and many users are still waiting and seeing......

Therefore, Lanzhou Kai has some doubts about Yang Yi's statement: "Can there be such a high participation of 100 million people? Is it that now the country is so rich that everyone can afford to use the Internet?"

"Now is naturally not possible, but we are focused on the future, now the existing market firmly grasped in their own hands, to the future, with the development of the times, the cost of Internet access has become lower, coupled with the popularity of the mobile Internet I told you, this online shopping will become our usual food and drink as usual things, and at that time, the Sahara will really become a behemoth in the Internet industry!"

"It's like buying a house, as long as there is a constant influx of people from the countryside into the cities, the market will continue to expand. Lanzhou Kai picked up this logic from another aspect.

"That's right!" Yang Yi nodded, "So compared to my Weibo, this Sahara is more worthy of your investment, Brother Lan." ”

Now Yang Yi has figured it out, since Lanzhou Kai mentioned it, and he and Fu Jun also want financing, then why not bring Lanzhou Kai in?

However, Lanzhou Kai still had some hesitation: "But now Boss Fu wants a lot of money, I have given me data from a consulting company, this company has a market value of about 200 million at most, but he wants me more than 100 million yuan for 6% of his shares, which is too exaggerated, right?"

"Brother Lan, do you know how much this company was worth half a year ago?" Yang Yi asked Lanzhou Kai.

"How much?" Lanzhou Kai really didn't know.

"Less than 10 million!" Yang Yi smiled slightly, "And this also includes a lot of investment in real estate rights." ”

In the early Sahara online bookstore, Fu Jun was indeed ambitious to make a career, so whether it was the company's office building or the warehouse where goods were transited, he made a lot of investments.

Don't underestimate these investments, even if he withdraws the project, the sale of these appreciating real estate can make him return to his capital.

Even so, in half a year, less than half a year to be exact, 10 million has become a company worth 200 million, which is amazing enough!

"Brother Lan, this is Fu Jun's private call, you can go back and study it with your investment advisor again to see if this investment is worth it!" Seeing that Lanzhou Kai was a little moved, Yang Yi didn't persuade again, he smiled and said to Lanzhou Kai, "Now what the Sahara wants is to seize the opportunity, if you can complete the financing earlier, I believe in its development speed, and you will be able to return to your capital soon!"

Lanzhou Kai naturally will not pat his head to make a decision because of Yang Yi's words, hundreds of millions of big deals, Lanzhou Kai needs to be cautious, even if it is a brother, it is not impossible to even ask a consulting company to do a more detailed investigation!10
