Chapter 294: Er
QQ has occupied most of the network market, this kind of similar projects, even if they are really valuable, once QQ attaches importance to it, soon, it will be able to occupy the value space of the project with its own user advantages, and carry forward.
Yan Mo didn't know where Bo Jinchen got such a large sum of money, but he didn't want Bo Jinchen to spend the money on such a project with congenital weaknesses.
"No, no, no, it's not the same as the mood, it doesn't exist as an accessory, but as a core element, and his value is reflected here. It is an open social platform, and the mood of QQ Space is based on the social network of acquaintances, which is fundamentally different, and at the same time their functionality is not the same......"
Hearing Yan Mo's questioning, Xia Jinglun waved his hand again and again to retort.
"Xiaoxia, I know the senior management of QQ, do you need help introducing me?"
Hearing Xia Jinglun's explanation, Yan Mo frowned and said.
Compared with Bo Jinchen to invest in such a congenitally weak project, perhaps it would be better for Xia Jinglun to cooperate directly with QQ, and Bo Jinchen did not have to bear the financial risks brought by this project, and at the same time sold Xia Jinglun a favor, there will always be a time of need in the future.
"Uh...... Well, in fact, during this month, I was still the deputy leader of the QQ Space project team of the network department of the QQ Imperial Capital Branch. ”
Xia Jinglun smiled helplessly.
He already has no hope that Bo Jinchen will invest in his social software, Yan Mo is Bo Jinchen's agent, even if he is interested in his own project, he will definitely let go of his mind if he is dissuaded by Yan Mo, compared to other investors he has contacted before, Yan Mo's refusal is the most tactful.
Hearing this, Yan Mo raised his eyebrows, and out of the rationality of his work, he said directly:
"So, Mr. Xia, I can understand that your project QQ did not pass, so you chose to come out and do it alone?"
"Hmm...... That's right, it's ridiculous, isn't it? The largest online platform in the Han Empire was completely dismissive of my project, so no one thought it had commercial value, and I didn't think it had commercial value, but I thought it was ...... It has existential value, people need it, and it's worth it. Therefore, I chose to leave QQ, smash the pot and sell iron to do it, do what I want to do while I am young, and try to change the world before being changed by this world, which is my dream when I was young. ”
Shrugged his shoulders, Xia Jinglun was no longer as shy as he was before, talking about his dreams of being ridiculed and denied many times, he was still the IT man who was not very healthy in appearance, but his eyes were glowing with the brilliance of a young man, gorgeous and dazzling.
Dreams, sometimes really like a charming yin corn.
Some people are afraid to avoid it, fearing that its impracticality and danger will swallow up real life.
Some people run to it without hesitation, willing to die in its arms, rather than living as a walking corpse.
When it comes to dreams, Yan Mo didn't say more, everyone has the right to choose a different life. Bo Jinchen raised his eyebrows, observing the young man in front of him with interest, his pupils shrank imperceptibly.
The word dream has been present in his life since the time travel.
From Zhou Jin's dream realized by hurting others, to Lin Ran's dream realized by hurting himself, and then to today's Xia Jinglun.
"Maybe I'm going to be presumptuous again, I don't know if Mr. Xia's family agrees with your decision? Although the dream is his own business, but Mr. Xia has provided a lot of help from everyone since he was a child, so he has today's achievements, and it is admirable to give up suddenly to go to the dream of his youth, but they ...... it."
Bo Jinchen's words are only half of what he said, since the crossing, his temperament seems to have been polished a lot by this barren life, most of the time, he speaks to the point, aggressive, it is no longer his temperament. However, there are exceptions, for example, the last time Han Xijia woke up Gao Shengjian after drinking, those words were extremely wanton.
"So I sold the house. ”
The smile on Xia Jinglun's face was bright, and his gaze penetrated the glass window next to the box and cast it into a farther place.
"In my hometown, a house of more than 100 square meters is less than 1 million, and if this house is sold, I can still get 6 million to buy a house in my hometown, and then leave them 2 million to prevent old age, and then use the remaining money to chase my dream. ”
Magnanimous.
This is Bo Jinchen's first intuitive reaction after listening to Xia Jinglun talk about his dream, different from Lin Ran's openness of growing a sunflower in the dark land, Xia Jinglun's openness is that his seed was planted in the sun.
Knock knock!
"Hello, your dish is here. ”
The door of the box is knocked on, and unlike the small cubicle in the box where the dishes are put into the box first in a regular hotel, private dishes often do not have such a large venue, and the main focus is warmth rather than luxury.
"Come in. ”
After the service staff finished serving the eight or nine dishes ordered by a few people, refused the service that the service staff left in the box to pour drinks and other services, and made sure that there were only three of them left in the room, Bo Jinchen suddenly asked:
"What do you expect to invest upfront?"
is like a ray of sunshine in winter, shining directly into Xia Jinglun's heart, which is very warm. Since he has looked for investors, he naturally has a rough account in his heart.
Registering a company that allows network information services only requires a capital injection of 1 million, which is not difficult for him. However, he needs manpower, he can't develop the entire software by himself, he needs companions, he can do it for his dreams, but people still have to tea, rice, oil, salt, ginger vinegar tea, and even if there is no need to rent a large server in the early stage, but one is inevitable as a total computing processing in all aspects, as well as company site rental, monthly water and electricity, company financial statements...... It's impossible to expect these IT men to do it themselves.
According to the scale of 20 people, the cost during the development period will fluctuate around 200,000 yuan per month.
And how long will the development period be?
In fact, Xia Jinglun himself has no answer, if it is a mature team of 20 people, and there is an industry standard as a reference, the development of such a social software platform is about 2 months, and then it is a trial run and officially facing the public.
But does Xia Jinglun have an industry standard now?
No.
He can only think about it point by point, while learning from foreign software, he also explores, and there may be a lot of leaks in the middle, so that while building and restarting, no matter how fast it is, it will be half a year later.
And then the cost of promotion is the majority, which is the most important existence to avoid being squeezed out of the market by QQ, but as he said at the beginning, he has not found the commercial value of this software platform himself, so in the days after its launch, every day seems to be throwing money into the bottomless pit, but it may not be able to earn back.
At present, Xia Jinglun thinks that the most likely thing is to put out some advertisements without affecting the user experience as much as possible after a certain number of registered users on the platform, not to mention how much money can be earned, and it is not bad to close the money for renting servers in the future.
"Probably...... Ten million?"
When this number was spoken, Xia Jinglun breathed a sigh of relief, he already knew that the 3 million he prepared was not enough, but he still wanted to try, the promotion cost is expensive, he can take his time, and when the software is developed, he can dissolve the company or take on a few outsourcing jobs together, after all, he will not starve to death, but the timeline of opening the market will be delayed for a long, long time.
- "So, is Mr. Xia doing charity? Investing 10 million in a project that has no commercial value? hahaha......
- "Mr. Xia, I don't expect to be able to return to my capital, and it would be good if I could earn the corresponding fame, but with all due respect, your project may not be as good as the twenty children of the Red Cross. ”
……
Thinking of the rejected words he had heard, Xia Jinglun felt a little melancholy in his heart, and the small flame of hope that had just ignited in his heart suddenly dimmed again, he was not sure if Bo Jinchen would choose to invest in him after hearing this figure, but in any case, he could not deceive people in order to attract investment.
"Well, Mr. Xia, I think you are wrong, if you want to develop a social platform, the best promotion is to use the celebrity effect, mainly in the entertainment industry and supplemented by well-known people from all walks of life, so that if you calculate it, I am afraid that 10 million will not be able to make any splash. ”
"5 million can invite a good star, right?"
Xia Jinglun asked with a painful face.
"Do you want to find someone to endorse? Mr. Xia, is it beneficial for a celebrity endorsement to promote your social platform, or is it beneficial for a group of celebrities to register on your social platform?"
"This ......"
It was like suddenly opening a skylight, Xia Jinglun's eyes lit up, but immediately after, he began to worry again. Bo Jinchen's idea is good, but compared with a group of celebrities, he feels that it is still a long-term endorsement that is more realistic. Celebrities are so busy, how can they have the time to toss a social account?
"If it's an endorsement, when I was three-star, the endorsement fee for an online game was one million a year, of course, it included the shooting of a small subconscious clip, and at the same time, according to the real popularity when I signed the contract, it was equivalent to a four-star. However, even if Mr. Xia is lucky enough to find an artist like me whose actual popularity has crossed his own level, 5 million will probably only be able to invite a six-star actor. And if it's a group of celebrities who sign up for social accounts......"
Bo Jinchen looked at Yan Mo beside him, seeing this, he couldn't figure out what Bo Jinchen meant, Yan Mo still answered very interestingly:
"It will be calculated according to the platform of ordinary commercial activities, and the bottom line is 200,000 points for six-star, 300,000 points for seven-star, and 500,000 points for eight-star, which means that 5 million can invite ten eight-star artists to register this social account. ”
"And you can mention in the contract that the star who signs the agreement must send 5 messages in a month, and it is much easier to move your fingers than to attend a business event. ”
Bo Jinchen continued to add, looking at Xia Jinglun with a smile and a look of pain and fear, and continued:
"If it's a group of celebrities, the more the better, but as a social platform rather than an all-star fan base, the promotion direction is not only the entertainment industry, but also other social figures, such as writers, sports champions, educators, calligraphers, painters...... These are individuals, and some institutions can be introduced in the later stage, such as major media, major universities, and major institutions...... Of course, this is the direction of the later operation, and it is enough to have some well-known people in the early stage, but this is how it is calculated, and the cost of promoting public relations is also 30 million.
Then there is the problem of back-end services after facing the public, if you don't want to develop the platform and leave it alone, or if you want to run it well, then you need more manpower and material resources to assist. Preliminary budget, after it comes out, you need a company with at least 50 people, and the minimum salary is 350,000 yuan. Based on the calculation of one year without income, plus the promotion fee, the entire project needs at least 40 million. ”
“……”
Silence, the silence that suffocated Xia Jinglun, 40 million, this is 4 times the number he expected, and ten times the amount he has now!
Being poor is sometimes terrible.
At least now he feels dizzy when he hears this number, which is an experience that only people who really feel the hard-earned money will have, and in the past, as the best of his peers, he never thought that he would one day feel suffocated because of poverty.
"30 million, quarterly capital injection, clear within a year, 82 shares of shares, I 8 you 2. ”
It's like from hell to heaven, Bo Jinchen's warm but clear voice fell on Xia Jinglun's ears, as pleasant as fairy sound. He was not completely intoxicated by the voice, and eighty-two woke him up, and thirty-two was too.
Looking at Xia Jinglun's puzzled gaze, Bo Jinchen smiled faintly and continued:
"With me and Brother Yan here, not to mention that the promotion of the entertainment industry can save you 10 million, 8 million is always no problem, you can't even take out 2 million, right?"
"When, when, of course, of course, it's just, divided, five-five, that's my bottom line, creativity is mine. ”
For a while, Xia Jinglun stammered. I don't know if I was stunned by the huge surprise, or I was shocked by Bo Jinchen's shamelessness.
"Three points. ”
With a playful smile at Xia Jinglun, Bo Jinchen's eyes were full of Zhizhu's affirmation, he raised three fingers and said slowly:
"First, you can't find anyone else willing to invest 30 million in your project except me. Of course, you can choose to continue your past plan and choose a celebrity endorsement, instead of spending money to open up the market, and even, you can try to open a way without any celebrities and relying on word of mouth.
It's just that how long will it take for you to reach QQ's market share, and how long will it take for you to reach QQ's market share, and how long will it take for five years, ten years, or ...... Twenty years?
With me here, one year is enough to prove its existence value, and one year, you will be like all the people who have told you that you can't - OK!
There is no need to rush to deny the time of the year, this is my second point.
Work with me and I can provide you with the most accurate route forward.
