Chapter 846: Failure

Lu Heng put down the debriefing report in his hand expressionlessly, but his mind was churning. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

These two debriefing reports were made by Wang Dong and Chen Yibai when they came back, and they should have been checked by Xu Shaojie of the Ministry of Supervision, but Xu Shaojie had to stay at Ele.me at present, so he had to let Lu Heng check it on his behalf.

Anyway, he is the boss, and it is normal to take a look at the work report of the bottom salesman.

There is a lot of content involved in the report, but the focus is on the YY voice under the Huanju Times, and the big and small movements of the other party during this time are recorded on it.

After Lu Heng's capital injection and the investment of 23 million US dollars from the internationally renowned venture capital company GGV, the development of YY voice has experienced an explosive growth from the end of 08 to May 09.

YY voice itself is an instant messaging software that acts on game communication, but at Lu Heng's suggestion, this voice software began to evolve towards a live video content platform.

Countless gamers, driven by YY, began to spontaneously perform singing and other content on this voice communication tool.

Especially after receiving a large amount of investment, YY has launched a model of anchor contracting, prompting more and more people to join the anchor industry.

These people are no longer limited to the original gamers, but have given birth to some groups that mainly sing, talent shows, and shouting microphones.

And this UGC model of "user-generated content" has also brought unimaginable rich returns to YY.

Lu Heng remembers that before he invested in YY last year, the number of simultaneous online users of YY voice was only 300,000.

It sounds like a lot, but among many Internet companies, this number of users can only be said to be average, and it is not very attractive to investors at all. This is also the time when Li Xueling was pulling investment everywhere, but only Lu Henghui saw the hero and boldly invested in him at the juncture of the financial crisis.

However, last year there were only 300,000, but by May this year, the latest statistics have changed dramatically!

YY voice has 1.5 million people online at the same time, more than 15 million registered users, more than 100,000 registered trade unions, and more than 50 million traffic!

What is this concept?

Since its inception, it took three years for the number of people online at the same time to break through the million mark, and YY was officially launched in July, and now it has exceeded 1.5 million people online at the same time in less than a year.

Although the network environment was completely different from the current one, its momentum is self-evident.

At least in today's industry peers, no one can match its momentum.

It is precisely because of the strong potential that YY has attracted investment from GGV, an internationally renowned venture capital company, and even other investment predators are investigating YY.

Maybe some people don't understand why free tools like YY, Ele.me, and even 360 antivirus software and QQ attract so many investment predators to accompany them to burn money.

You will even think that those investment predators are fools, and hundreds of millions of billions are thrown in and burned.

Are others stupid?

The answer is obviously not, because both sides look at things from completely different angles.

Ordinary people see whether this product is losing money or making money now, but shrewd businessmen see not the gains and losses of one city and one place at this time, but the huge number of users it has.

Why will Tencent become one of the three giants of the domestic Internet in the future, Ali and Baidu will keep pace with it?

Whether it is Jingdong or the later Xiaomi, no matter how brilliant it is, it can only be said to be the closest existence except for BAT.

One of the reasons is that the number of users is on top, Tencent has QQ in hand, a big killer, more than one billion registered users, bombarding all the same software, any carefully prepared product as soon as it is issued, with the help of QQ, you can make a lot of money.

YY voice is also an instant messaging software, although the function focuses on the game aspect, but it also conflicts with QQ.

Perhaps its current value is too far from QQ's, but its potential value is enough to make people look forward to it.

If the development is good, YY may not be able to become the second QQ!

This is also the expectation of the founder, Li Xueling, and a series of shareholders around YY.

It's just that before it grows, it seems to have been targeted by that giant existence.

"Boss, President Li Xueling wants to have a video call with you. ”

Bai Yijing walked in and said playfully.

"Okay, I know, you go down!"

Lu Heng nodded to Bai Yijing, then silently turned on the computer, and after a while, Li Xueling's face appeared in front of him, not happy, and the corners of his eyebrows were deeply locked.

"Hello!" Lu Heng greeted with a smile.

Li Xueling replied without pain or itching, "Hi, I haven't seen you for a long time, I've been busy lately, right?"

Lu Heng snorted and said with a smile: "That's it, you know, I didn't graduate from college, what can I do in school all day long." ”

Li Xueling pursed his lips, "Pretend, you just pretend to me, don't think that I don't know that you have opened another investment company, what big moves are you going to make next?"

"Big move? No, but how do you know I started an investment company?"

Li Xueling looked at Lu Heng speechlessly, "You have all sent me here, can I not know, your kid has a lot of twists and turns in his stomach all day long." ”

Lu Heng smiled, but forgot about this stubble.

But this is not to blame him, when Genesis opened, it was quiet, not a single guest was invited, and subconsciously he felt that few people knew that he had this investment company.

But in fact, not to mention Li Xueling, even Liu Qiangdong of Jingdong Mall, Li Xiang of Autohome, and Xu Xin of Today's Capital, these people basically know.

After all, Lu Heng's shares in Jingdong and YY have been renamed as shares held by Genesis Investment Co., Ltd. from the original personal shareholding, and it is natural for the other party to know.

"Okay, okay, when I have time to invite you to dinner, I will treat the new company as if I didn't invite you to make amends. Today, I read Chen Yibai's debriefing report, first of all, I have to congratulate YY on the proud results achieved in this half year, it is really surprising!"

Li Xueling waved his hand reservedly, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was still difficult to hide.

It is conceivable that he is also very proud of the development of his company in the past six months, after all, as a creative, he has carved out a way of life from a game website that is already dying, and it is becoming more and more spectacular, and there is enough capital to make a difference.

Lu Heng did not break Li Xueling's self-restraint, but straightened his face, left the back of the chair, propped his hands in front of the computer desk, and looked at Li Xueling seriously.

Seeing Lu Heng's posture, Li Xueling gradually put away his smile, everyone knows that today's video call is not a drama where you praise me and I praise you.

"Half a year earlier than I expected!" Lu Heng said in a low voice.

"A year earlier than I thought, it seems to have been a bit of a failure. Li Xueling muttered, his tone very hoarse under the propagation of electronic signals.

Lu Heng tugged at the corners of his mouth, "It's really a failure, the low-key development that was set at the beginning, I originally thought that I could fight for a long time for development, but I didn't expect to be targeted so soon." What are you going to do?"
