Chapter 736: I'll Burn This Money!

The first stop is Tiananmen Square, and the next thing Lu Heng arranged is the Forbidden City, there is nothing outstanding about this trip, after all, Lu Heng is not a local. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, as a person from other places, he knows better what he and Xiao Jianguo want to see.

Although it is not the golden season for tourism, there are still a lot of people in these places, and after a day of playing, Lu Heng also feels a little tired.

In the evening, in a place where both the decoration and the service looked pretty good, Lu Heng and Lin Su's bedroom people gathered.

The place to eat is more lively, and I didn't choose any quiet western restaurant, after all, everyone is a student, and I still like to discuss certain things lively.

Xiao Jianguo, as Lu Heng's roommate, specially asked for leave to come to Beijing during class, which also aroused the curiosity of several of Lin Su's roommates.

When they learned that Xiao Jianguo came here to interview a few high-tech talents in order to break through the bottleneck of entrepreneurship, several girls couldn't help but look at him.

Although Xiao Jianguo is not very good-looking, every man with his own career is more or less different from ordinary students, and has his own unique temperament.

And when eating, Xiao Jianguo also deliberately behaved, he knew that the better he performed, the more he could reflect Lu Heng's goodness.

Especially when he revealed that his business also had Lu Heng's investment in it when he had nothing to do, Lin Su's three roommates admired Lu Heng even more.

After eating, Lu Heng sent Lin Su and the others back to the dormitory first, and then took Xiao Jianguo to arrange his accommodation.

Well, a good three-star hotel, I found a single room, which can fully meet Xiao Jianguo's needs.

When he was sent here, Lu Heng did not leave, but stayed, because he saw that Xiao Jianguo vaguely wanted to discuss something with him.

Entering the room, inserting the room card, the lights turned on, Lu Heng looked at Xiao Jianguo, "Say, I looked at you hesitating along the way, just say if you have any difficulties." ”

Xiao Jianguo lit a cigarette, white smoke filled the air, and when he saw Lu Heng beside him, he hurriedly handed him another one.

Lu Heng hesitated a little, and then took it, instead of passively smoking second-hand smoke, it was better to smoke one, anyway, it would not have much impact.

Taking a deep breath, and then exhaling the filtered smoke, Xiao Jianguo's tired spirit during the day lifted up.

"Director, that's the case, didn't you and we put the dividends into the company before to prepare for the next step of development?"

"Well, that's the case, isn't it enough?" Lu Heng raised his eyebrows, in his opinion, there should be almost no more than a few hundred thousand.

Xiao Jianguo nodded heavily, "It's really not enough, I thought it was enough, but when the app construction was put into the plan, Senior Yang Feng bluntly said that the 400,000 yuan was not enough." In his opinion, the Eleme mobile client we want to build is an unseen ordering software in the market, and it is a joint online and offline 020 model, and there is no example for us to imitate. Because of this, there is no choice for outsourcing, and it must be developed independently. Template purchases, data research, and code writing all require a lot of investment, as well as things like server purchases, and personnel R&D funds. The most important thing is that the promotion of this kind of software is completely different from the promotion of general products, and it has to be promoted locally, that is, the recommendation and promotion of each place. This requires the establishment of several departments, such as R&D and maintenance department, product promotion and development department, logistics service department, ......."

Lu Heng listened carefully to Xiao Jianguo's story, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.

He also knows that although he knows the development route of some things, he is still very unfamiliar with the birth of these products, after all, he is not an insider.

It was only under Xiao Jianguo's narration that he deeply realized how far an eye-catching and quick acceptance of ordering software needed to be.

Images for the software's homepage, secondary pages, and even more pages require professional art design and are constantly changing. The software front-end and back-end also need to write new code, such as the merchant back-end, and the user back-end needs to be specially developed.

And, as an online order, it is natural that online payment must also be made. The use of online banking payment and Alipay payment must be launched at the same time, which must open up channels.

Think about it now and even in the future, those Internet high-tech talents, an ordinary code farmer can achieve a monthly income of eight or nine thousand, and a more advanced one can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month. Even some director-level talents, calculated by the annual salary of tens of millions, can be seen how much money needs to be invested when it comes to Internet entrepreneurship.

It can be said that this industry is an industry that grabs money, and it is also an industry that burns money like crazy!

In this way, it seems that hundreds of thousands of dollars are really not enough to stuff the gaps.

"In that case, then tell me, how did Yang Feng tell you, how much money is needed?" Lu Heng loosened his brows and asked directly about the key to the question.

Saying all that, it's not about money!

"At least one million!" When the words came out, Xiao Jianguo also spat out heavily, as if he had unloaded some burden.

Then he looked at Lu Heng solemnly and said, "Yang Feng didn't know that Ele.me's investment was a shareholding, he thought it was just a company that Wu Mingming and I were doing. Therefore, he suggested that we can look for interested investors, although venture capital from large investment banks such as SoftBank and Goldman Sachs cannot be obtained, but we can look for some interested and powerful domestic businessmen to seek financial support. But we know that when it was first established, the head of the office said that you must obtain your consent to raise funds, and you must not divide your shares. So, I had to find you. ”

"A million?" Lu Heng muttered to himself.

Xiao Jianguo nodded heavily, "Well, in Yang Feng's words, this is not only the R&D expenses, but also the first phase of publicity and promotion, software maintenance costs. After the 1.0 version comes out, it is necessary to find vulnerabilities and make subsequent new versions as soon as possible, and this million is the cost of the preliminary stage. ”

Lu Heng knocked on the table rhythmically, "Then how long does it take to make a profit, or how long does it take to be self-sufficient?"

"It depends on the scale. Speaking of this, Xiao Jianguo's face was not very good-looking, "Our scale is only limited to the area of Chongqing Huxi University Town, which is a bit small, and the profit is only more than 100,000 or 200,000 a month, which is not enough to support the consumption in the early stage." ”

Don't blame him for his bad face, there's a dead loop in this.

The development of Ele.me was originally intended to expand the scale with the promotion and use of mobile phone software. But the current requirement is to feed the software on a larger scale, otherwise it will not be able to support it in the future.

If you want to have a larger scale, you must have mature software as a support, and if you want to have mature software, you must rely on a strong company scale to generate profits.

.........

The cigarette on his finger slowly burned to the end, Lu Heng extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, but Xiao Jianguo was already halfway through the second pipe, and his addiction to smoking was getting bigger and bigger.

Xiao Jianguo wanted to give Lu Heng a cigarette again, but Lu Heng refused.

Stopping the thinking action of knocking on the table, Lu Heng made a decision.

"One million will be put into the company's account to develop the 1.0 Ele.me mobile app, and then you must urgently promote it and scale it up. If you don't have enough money halfway, call me and I'll continue to invest. In other words, you can think of me as one of those investment banks, not just as a major co-op. I'll burn the money!"

With a wave of his hand, Lu Heng boldly decided the next development route of Ele.me.

Xiao Jianguo's expression perked up, and the difficulties of many days were solved in one day, and he was also relieved in his heart.

However, there is another problem that still lies in the middle, and it is also a point that makes him quite uncomfortable.

He cautiously looked at Lu Heng tentatively, "Office Director, you have invested so much money into it, so does the proportion of shares in the company need to be changed?"
