Wedge: Up
It's January 20th.
It's an ordinary and boring day, so boring that you can't even find a place to rest for the possible fun. Life goes according to plan, step by step.
Red Peony always imagined how high-spirited it was back then. Now I have my palms outstretched, my hands empty, and I have nothing to do except age and obesity......
Aside from fame and fortune, you can also talk about your dreams, and the red peony still has to take this step after all, although it is really a bit hasty.
When I looked at my watch, it was 6:10, and there were 50 minutes left before the scheduled time.
Turn on the phone as usual, Red Peony takes a deep breath, and when it calms down, dials the number.
"Mr. Chen, hello, I have made an appointment with you to meet at seven o'clock in the evening...... Well, yes, I'll be in half an hour...... Ok bye. β
Red Peony finished cleaning up the table, hurried to the subway, and muttered to himself, "The time is a little rushed, I got off work from the company at six o'clock, took Line 1 to Line 4, about half an hour, well, it's still too late." β
Although the time is tight, his heart is not messy, open the computer bag, flip through and check whether his materials are sufficient, monetization mind map, monetization schedule, competitive product analysis form, business plan......
"He said to meet at the company, but I thought, it's so late, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate in the company, I just happened to check that there is a Starbucks opposite their company, and it's best to meet there, but I don't know what he likes to drink......?
β¦β¦
Seven o'clock arrived early, and Red Peony had already ordered two cups of coffee and waited in the corner.
Red Peony was a little nervous, turned on the phone camera and checked the red tie again, and sat down.
About ten minutes later, a thin man in a red plaid sweater walked into the cafΓ©.
"Hello, is this Mr. Red?"
"Hello, hello, it's me, Mr. Chen sits ......" Red Peony gently opened the stool in the corner of the round table for him and said, "I just arrived, I don't know what you like to drink, so I simply ordered a latte." β
Chen Hao didn't seem surprised, nodded and said, "Where is Mr. Hong?"
"I'm from Beihai City, because my girlfriend is in Chengdu, so I came here to work, and I've been living here for almost five years. The red peony took a sip and smiled slightly.
"Mr. Red is married?"
"Let Mr. Chen smile, I broke up not long after I came to Chengdu, because I was used to life here, it was convenient to paint, and I stayed for five years, depending on the situation, I may return to Beihai after the year. β
"Haha, sorry, sorry. Then let's get straight to the point and start directly!" Chen Hao snorted and said casually.
Red Peony opened the computer file package, took out the computer, and first briefly introduced the team products and other modules in the business plan for Chen Hao, "Mr. Chen, you see, we have a reasonable positioning in the product, rather than the best, it is different, we do dislocation competition, which is actually very in line with Mr. Trout's academic philosophy." β
"Looking at the team again, our COO and CFO are all from Beihai University of Finance and Economics, and their strength and technology are excellent, and they have published papers in national journals. β
Immediately afterwards, Red Peony took out the competitive product analysis table and explained to Chen Hao: "Mr. Chen, there are actually many business analysis reports on the market, including the analysis report of Huada Securities on the entire market, as well as the detailed analysis report of iResearch, which proves the sustainability and development of content monetization......
"And the conclusion of our competitive product analysis report is far more than just seizing the blue ocean market among competitors......"
"The most important thing is that our market has no ceiling ......"
Chen Hao was secretly shocked in his heart, but he didn't say anything after thinking about it for a while, only said, "The company can provide your team with the conditions of the incubator and support it in terms of traffic." β
Red Peony pondered for a moment and said, "What about the capital contribution?"
Chen Hao tapped his fingers on the table and smiled, "You young people may be energetic in the early stage, and I also see the energy of entrepreneurs from you." Our company would like to acquire a wholly-owned acquisition or a partial share of the equity in cash. β
Red Peony's heart suddenly burst into a smile, "Mr. Chen, you may not understand it, I Chinese New Year's Eve it today......"
"You know, I've been in a mess for thirty years, and I used to commute every day, without sorrow, but I didn't seem to have fun. Of course, there is also the occasional anxiety. β
"Now I have something that I love and work hard to do, and I'm satisfied. It may be an investment for you, but for us, it's a relief. β
"Let me tell you a heart-wrenching word, I know that for an enterprise, the investment only looks at the projects with the life cycle, only from 1 to 100, not from zero to one, and may never consider sending charcoal in the snow......"
Chen Hao interrupted the red peony and smiled slightly, "Investors are not philanthropists, of course, they only do the icing on the cake, our ability, or task, is nothing more than to use the power of capital to compress the cycle of project expansion." Successfully listed and exited the stage. β
Red Peony took a deep breath, "I understand, I don't know what Mr. Chen's opinion on the situation of this project is?"
Chen Hao thought about it for a while, and struggled a little, but finally said, "That's the case, Mr. Hong, you make another monetization periodic table, because your one may be a little simple." β
"We need a detailed list of what the weekly project plan is for the month, what is the content creation or operation every day, and at the same time, what kind of resources do you need during the month, so as to make a table for us. β
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Hong, in your current monetization cycle, the monetization cycle is three months, which is too long. Hopefully, you can compress it to a month or so. Here, you just need to wait for you to make the final monetization cycle table for me, and I will review it for the leader, and finally give you a reply, what do you think?"
Red Peony smiled.
His smile, when he thinks about it, is also ridiculous.
"Mr. Chen, I think you may have misunderstood, as an employer, it is understandable that you don't do charcoal in the snow, and the acquisition project is understandable, and even disdain our team's project, but what are the conditions for you?"
Red Peony suppressed his anger and endured and said, "You unconditionally understand the core of our business, I am naΓ―ve, I don't understand the capital market, I admit it, but you still let us unconditionally create a planned and executable project for you on this basis, and then in the end you just gave me a phone call and told me that I had a bad market prospect, so I just sent us." β
Chen Hao's face turned from red to white, "Mr. Hong, listen to me explain to you, our company has indeed invested in several projects, and has also freed up space for incubators for entrepreneurs, but this is real money after all, you know, I am just an investment director, and I still have to be the boss to make the decision, right?"
Red Peony didn't intend to explain anything, and even anger was a little weak.
Unconsciously, the time was nearly nine o'clock, and the faint moonlight, the faint light, hit the coffee cup, faintly, bright or dark.
The irony and sentimentality of this cold cup of coffee that inadvertently contains life are deeper than all words and all laughter.
Red Peony understood, after all, it was still an ordinary day.
Putting away the computer, Red Peony got up and came out, and a sentence came into Chen Hao's ears from behind him, "Mr. Chen, thank you for giving me another class in the year of establishment, as tuition, I will send you a word, and encourage you, on May 10, 1988, Shen Congwen died of a heart attack at home, and he left a last word before he died: 'I have nothing to say about this world. ββ
Chen Hao stood up and shouted to the red peony who walked away, "Thank you for your coffee!"
The red peony does not understand why speaking up is a virtue, and it is so powerful in people's hearts.
