Chapter Thirty-Six: It's better to start again
You can't blame capital for being ruthless, the essence of capital is profit-seeking, and it is the nature to send umbrellas on sunny days and collect umbrellas on rainy days, rather than sending charcoal in the snow. Jiang Fuyu doesn't blame capital, only Zhou Xiao's arrogance and self-righteousness!
To this day, Zhou Xiao not only does not think that there is anything wrong with the previous practice, but also conceitfully believes that the good flowers will definitely return to their former glory, and can be sold at a high price, and it is even possible to buy Infinite Love.
Jiang Fuyu didn't even want to talk to Zhou Xiao anymore, Zhou Xiao didn't see the current situation clearly, but fell into madness, and regarded himself as the protagonist of the omnipotent inside with a plug-in, as long as he wanted, he could make many people surrender by stomping his feet.
Now Jiang Fuyu doesn't want to talk any gossip and nonsense with Zhou Xiao, although she knows very well that in people's interactions, 70% of gossip and nonsense is the bond that maintains the relationship, and it is the foreshadowing for the remaining 30% of the business. Whether the business is successful or not, the gossip and nonsense in front of you are crucial.
"I don't have instant coffee here, so I either grind it myself or drink tea. Jiang Fuyu was a little impatient, "Don't talk about these useless things, okay?
A hint of displeasure flashed in Zhou Xiao's eyes, and he quickly regained his composure, got up and poured a glass of white water: "Let's drink white water, never get tired of drinking it." Since you think my proposal is not advisable, tell me what you think. ”
Recently, Zhou Xiao has been intensively contacting capital, but there are a few companies that have some intentions, but the conditions proposed by the other party are too harsh, one is that the valuation given is low, far lower than his expectations, and the other is that the other party requires control.
Losing the controlling stake is equivalent to giving away the good flowers, although he got some cash, but it was still too far from what Zhou Xiao wanted, and he was not satisfied.
There is another point, even if he agrees, Jiang Fuyu will not agree. Jiang Fuyu still has time, and he can start all over again, he can't, he doesn't have much time.
But Jiang Fuyu can't be aware of his current situation, he must implement his plan without Jiang Fuyu.
"Judging from the current situation, although the good flowers have encountered some temporary difficulties, there is still hope, and the brand influence of the growth guide is still there. I had people do a market analysis, and the growth guide could be repositioned and then launched to the market, which can quickly recover to one-third of the previous market share, reaching 70% after six months, and if the strategy is right and the storyline is compelling enough, it is not impossible to return to the previous heyday. Jiang Fuyu's eyes were calm and his expression was firm, "I always wanted to take shortcuts, plagiarism, and opportunism, but now I have been beaten back to my original form, which can be regarded as self-inflicted." ”
"Do you want to produce content and make products in a down-to-earth manner?" Zhou Xiao sneered, "You think too much, Fuyu? Since the launch of the growth guide, the heyday has been the stage of plagiarizing growth games." The only time original content won the applause of the market was when I used the team of the United Network to work overtime to write a storyline for the Growth Guide. You must know that the team responsible for the content of the United Network is the top team in China, and they all have a transcendent position in the United Network. Asking them to write a storyline is a one-time storyline. ”
Jiang Fuyu's face was not shocked: "I know, I know it very well in my heart." What I don't understand is that Fang Shanmu's team is not the top original team in China, why can we make such a wonderful story line? Yes, we can't afford to use the content team of the United Network, and we can't use it anymore, but we can cultivate the team ourselves. What Fang Shanmu can do, why can't we do it? Don't you keep saying that Fang Shanmu is inferior to you?"
"I mean that Fang Shanmu is inferior to me in terms of pattern and height, but it doesn't mean that he has a talent for originality. Yes, his team is very strong, and the main thing is that he can use people, and everyone has their own story. Zhou Xiao's attitude became more and more impatient, "Why do you have to use your own shortcomings to compare the advantages of others? If Fang Shanmu didn't have a little advantage, it would be impossible for him to get the position of vice president in the United Network." ”
"So, you don't approve of me digging deep into the original content?" Jiang Fuyuyu sneered, "You have now come out of the United Network, and you have a lot of time to start a business, why do you have to rush to sell the good flowers now? You can completely start from the beginning, step by step to manage the flowers and always bloom, and finally defeat the infinite care in the market openly, so that Fang Shanmu can lose convincingly, you don't have to cheat with the help of your identity as the chairman of the United Network Beijing Company, and there is no plug-in, how good." ”
"There's no time......" As soon as the words came out, Zhou Xiao realized that he was speechless, and he was busy changing his words, "It's too slow, and it's not necessary, I don't want to be like Fang Shanmu, I can't bite me and I'll bite back, right?" ”
Jiang Fuyu could basically conclude that Zhou Xiao wanted to run away: "Why is there no time? You came out of the United Network, didn't you already land safely? Is there anything else that has not been clarified, and the United Network will still settle accounts with you?"
"What do you say, you know that you are guessing. Did you hear some rumors?" Zhou Xiao's eyes flashed a trace of panic, and then he waved his hand, "There is no thing, don't chase the wind and listen to the wind and rain, what can I do? I am innocent! I think we have to get rid of the good flowers in time, and how good it is to start a new stove after selling, why do we have to hang ourselves from a tree? Now this hand has been played like this, there are not many hole cards, and it is difficult to touch good cards again, it is better to cheat Hu and start again. ”
Jiang Fuyu didn't say anything and came to the window. Outside the window, there are flowers and a thriving scene. Summer has come to an end, autumn is coming, the cycle of the four seasons is never subject to human will, when it is time to come, it will definitely come.
Her relationship with Zhou Xiao can be regarded as entering autumn, right?
Jiang Fuyu has read some books recently, the world has four stages of success, living, badness, and emptiness, life has four stages of life, illness, old age, and death, and two people have four stages of acquaintance, acquaintance, companionship, and departure, and the most painful thing in the world is nothing more than life and death.
But if there is no emotional connection, whether it is life or death, it is just as normal as breathing. So she and Zhou Xiao have already moved from the stage of becoming and living to the stage of bad and empty, right?
Jiang Fuyu knew that Zhou Xiao didn't tell her the truth, and Hu Pan knew about the conspiracy between Liu Qijia and Zhou Xiao through Xin Feng. Zhou Xiao told Liu Qijia that if Liu Qijia obeyed his arrangement and dealt with her with him, when the good flowers were often sold, his shares could be realized and he could get a large sum of money. Otherwise, Liu Qi's family won't get a penny.
The Liu Qi family trusted Zhou Xiao extremely and was willing to become Zhou Xiao's ally. Xin Feng was wary of Zhou Xiao, out of female instinct, she thought that Zhou Xiao had gone bankrupt in the matter of deceiving Lan Xin, Xiang Wen, Sun Xiaozhao, and Jiang Fuyu, and had no credibility at all. But driven by greed, she still held on to one in 10,000 hopes, what if it came true?
It is precisely because of this that she is friendly with Hu Pan, hoping that through Hu Pan and Jiang Fuyu to maintain communication, she will support whoever has the upper hand at that time. What she wants is to be left and right. Hu Pan knew her thoughts, and Jiang Fuyu also knew it. Judging from the current situation, it is good to keep Xin Feng neutral.
"I don't think so, a person's character can't go bankrupt again and again, Zhou Xiao, you should wake up, don't think about selling good flowers and then starting a new business, doing the current thing is a manifestation of a person's strong character. Jiang Fuyu bit his lip and looked very firm, "Listen to me, let's work together to make a growth guide, I have been looking for a content team recently, and I have contacted several companies, and two of them are interested in cooperating." You can take the form of outsourcing first, and you don't necessarily have to raise your own team......"
"Where does the money come from?" Zhou Xiao was angry, Jiang Fuyu has been against him everywhere recently, even if he doesn't listen to his arrangements at all, there are always small movements behind the scenes, "If you don't sell it now, the company can't sustain it for two months, you still want to develop original content, do you really think you have talent in this area? Content depends on talent, not everyone can create good-looking content." ”
"Finally admit that Fang Shanmu is talented?Is it really so difficult to admit that others are excellent?" Jiang Fuyu shook his head and smiled, "Yes, now the company is short of funds, and I have also talked about a few capitals, basically finalized the cooperation method, released 20% of the shares, and raised 20 million." ”
"No, it's too slow. And the company's valuation is only 100 million, which is too low. Zhou Xiao also stood up, with his hands behind him, "From a valuation of 100 million to 10 billion, it will take at least one or two years." Series A, Series B, Series C, after round of financing, the valuation can rise, you can wait, I can't wait. And there are too many variables in between, no, no, absolutely not. ”
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you say?" Jiang Fuyu has been completely sure that Zhou Xiao still has something to deal with yet, and he is in a hurry to get out.
"Study the top five growth games in the market, and then according to the feedback of players, copy the most shining part of it, add it to the growth guide of version 5.0, and take the opportunity to download it, even if it is attacked and plagiarized by others, it is not afraid, anyway, there are many lice and no itching debts, and there are people who sue for plagiarism, and no one will sue if there is more plagiarism. ”
"And then?" Jiang Fuyu was disappointed everywhere in his heart, Zhou Xiao really couldn't support the wall with mud, he never wanted to take the right road, he just wanted to take a shortcut, what curve overtaking, the curve is the easiest to overturn.
"Then when the number of downloads is at its highest, it inflates the company's valuation, takes the opportunity to sell it, and sells it for a high price. I've already told a few friends that they'll buy good flowers when the time comes......"
"I don't understand, such a clumsy operation method and inflated valuation, why there is capital willing to buy?" Jiang Fuyu is not unclear about the trickiness and operation methods behind it, she just deliberately asked.
