Chapter 65: Time Difference
After Li Yunxin sent Gu Cheng away, she obediently went to her brother's study to report yesterday's situation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Brother. Li Yunxin looked like a good girl.
Li Zairong didn't look up: "I heard that there was a conflict with someone again last night? Why do you get into trouble when you invite your classmates to dinner, how do you do the security of the hotel?"
Li Yunxin thought about it for a while, and covered it up: "It's just that the bodyguard bumped into other guests who drank too much in the corridor a few times, but it's actually nothing...... I drank too much wine and bumped into it, but I was fine anyway. ”
Li Zairong thought about it, and seemed to be wondering if his sister's words were watery.
"Brother, it's not like you don't know, those people on my side will make a fuss even when the heel of my shoes is broken" The weak-hearted Li Yunxin quickly changed the topic, "By the way, I just saw a pair of men and women about the same age as me in the living room outside, who are they?
Li Zairong was stunned for a moment, but his face was kinder. Because his sister has never cared about the family business, she actually asked about this today, is she sensible?
As soon as he was relieved, he knew everything: "Oh, it's two customers from Huaxia." The future is terrifying, that man, do you know how old he is? At the age of 20, it took three years to start from nothing and become worth at least a few hundred million dollars. And he actually dug a hole for Apple in terms of patented technology, and we now have to cooperate with him in the lawsuit with Apple. ”
Li Yunxin was shocked: "Ah, aren't you here to make friends with our family for an excuse?"
"Why do you want to make friends with us under the pretext that I think he can take advantage of and invite him to come. The man's name is Gu Cheng, and the woman is his cousin, their business is in Huaxia, and they usually don't come to our Dongyi, what's the use of clinging to my house. Li Zairong was puzzled for a while, "What's wrong with you, little sister?"
"Oh...... No, it's fine. I just saw that man's face was so handsome just now, and he was not a good person when he saw it......"
Li Yunxin covered it up, explained a few more words to her brother, and prepared to flash.
I didn't expect that someone in the world would really mistake her for Song Hye Kyo......
It seems that last night was indeed a misunderstanding, not "the routine dog's pick-up routine has escalated again".
"Forget it, if you misunderstand, you misunderstand, he also beat my bodyguard, and this matter is settled. Li Yunxin took a deep breath, ready to forget about it.
Although she still felt a little strange in her heart: Even if Gu Cheng really admitted his mistake at the beginning, why didn't he continue to please her after discovering that he had made a mistake? She lived until she graduated from her senior year, and all the boys she saw who were not surnamed Li should be kneeling and licking in front of her.
If you don't kneel and lick, it's also because of hypocrisy!
But this Gu Cheng doesn't seem to kneel and lick, nor does he fake it.
……
After Gu Cheng finished talking about business, there was naturally no need to continue to stay in Seoul.
That night, he had a send-off banquet with the Quan family, and returned to China early the next morning.
The rest of February, and even early March, he will be relatively free.
After returning to China, he took care of the Internet business, and contacted the MP3 project of "YY Electronics" with the industrial design team sent by Samsung, and finalized the mass production and listing of MP3 before May Day, and he left the rest of the hardware behind.
After the triangular patent lawsuit with Apple, Samsung's legal team took over to help Gu Cheng pull hatred, and Gu Cheng's legal team, which is still weak, has suddenly become much easier, as long as he picks up the wallet behind his back.
In terms of other long-term businesses, YY chat users have expanded rapidly after another month, from 500,000 at the end of January to 2 million in mid-March - the main driving force for the expansion is because the three games under the name of "Legend Entertainment" are all on the right track, and a higher and higher proportion of players have developed the habit of teaming up to chat with voice when playing games.
The number of legendary players has remained high, and there has been no new growth in scale since 03, and it is ripe to reap stable profits.
The number of hardcore paying users of "Ragnarok RO" has also risen to 300,000, and the monthly point card sales have exceeded 20 million yuan.
Although "Miracle MU" was the latest to charge - it was not charged until March 1, but in just 20 days, it harvested 800,000 monthly cards of 35 yuan, and its revenue exceeded 30 million.
Although the final report of the "Legendary" operation department shows that at least 20% of the revenue of "Miracle MU" comes from the transfer and loss of "Legendary" players.
In addition, the YY post bar function has also been successfully launched quietly recently, but it has not yet shown its power: because YY users generally still rely on chatting between gamers, and pure players rarely have time to chat about the post bar.
Compared with YY, Gu Cheng's other big killer-level application has grown faster during this time, that is, Alipay, and the security software suite that is bundled with Alipay for free.
Alipay's growth rate began to decline at the end of November last year -- according to Alipay's development plan, as long as 8 million card-bound users were achieved in 2002, the set task would be completed.
But later, because Gu Cheng used the trick of "Alipay crowdfunding concert" for viral marketing, more than 10 million people were completed before the November Golden Week, and 14 million were fixed at the end of the year.
The reason why the inflection point of the slowdown in growth rate appeared at the end of November is mainly because Eslite Audio and Video found that the average rate of return of the concert was decreasing, and at the same time, the stimulation effect of Alipay's card binding was gradually weakening, so there was no more concerts in December.
After all, the proportion of netizens with a strong sense of "regional vanity" in China is so high. At least two-thirds of the remaining netizens do not have much pride in their hometown, so they are too lazy to toss. After the part of users with a high sense of vanity burns out, the effect of viral marketing will naturally slow down.
On the other hand, at that time, the country was still worried about anything with a democratic-democratic color, such as a few years later, Super Girl's program engaged in SMS voting for stars, which was interpreted by the bricks as "there is a danger of public opinion decision-making and the tyranny of the majority", and then it was blocked.
How can ordinary people have the illusion that they can decide big things?
Gu Cheng's regional crowdfunding hype is conducive to the awakening of the people after all. So during the filming of "Condor", he was called to have tea by the court's Weiwen Office, and he immediately said that he would downplay this kind of thing that aroused regional contradictions and the awakening of public opinion.
In this context, in December 02, Alipay's monthly user growth was only 700,000, and in January 03, it was even more pitiful to more than 400,000, which can be called the worst monthly increase since 02.
But after February, a new growth engine finally came in.
Within 50 days, more than 12,000 new users of Alipay using the "Seller Pro" version joined the board. Originally, Alipay took a full 2 years, but it only accumulated 5 players Pro users.
The original accumulated users of the professional version are the owners of 50,000 Internet cafes across the country.
The 12,000 new Pro users in the past 50 days are Taobao store owners.
Ma Feng's Taobao has finally entered the stage of opening stores to solicit customers.
In the original history, Taobao's marketing volume in the first year was barely more than 100 million, and the second year was only hundreds of millions. It was not until the end of October 2004 that Ahri Baba developed Alipay, a credit tool, to solve the credit problem of online shopping, and then in 2005, the total transaction flow of Taobao was 8 billion.
Taobao's turnover in 04 is 4 times that of the same period in 03, and the turnover in 05 is 20 times that of 04 - from this simple algorithm, the variable of "whether Alipay provides credit protection for online shopping" can at least increase the expansion rate of online shopping users by about 5 times.
As soon as Taobao was launched, Alipay could be used from day one, which naturally accelerated the development of "Taobao" by 5 times in the first two years, or an extra year. In addition, the launch of Taobao was originally four or five months ahead of schedule, and finally by the end of 03, the development speed of Taobao may be equivalent to the middle of another time and space in 05 years.
While more than 10,000 new professional sellers have been added, Taobao, a new drainage platform, has brought at least 2 million ordinary users.
According to Ma Feng's business ability, as long as he is not worse than another time and space, Gu Cheng can lie there and do nothing, and enjoy the benefits of 3 million users per quarter in 03 and 04 for nothing. After 05 years, this buff rate will be further increased to at least 5 million per quarter.
At the beginning of the year, the number of people tied to Alipay's cards was 14 million, and according to this trend, it will reach 26 million by the end of the year - in fact, because Gu Cheng and business engines other than "Taobao" are promoting Alipay, the final result will be far more than that.
However, as YY and Alipay become more and more valuable, Gu Cheng has one thing that must be done, and it is becoming more and more urgent: that is, according to the original plan, he will try to strip out the convertible debt he owes Sun Zhengyi as much as possible.
If Alipay and YY continue to grow like this, within half a year, Sun Zhengyi will see the signs and know that Alipay and YY are high-quality assets that are much more valuable than "legend" and "miracle MU", and when Gu Cheng wants to redeem the part of the equity mortgaged to Sun Zhengyi in advance, Sun Zhengyi's psychological price may be higher.
It's a pity that Gu Cheng's recruitment of a powerful CFO has not made much progress. My cousin, who is in the position of CPO, personally grasps human resources, and she can't get a person in charge of negotiation who is enough and can make Sun Zhengyi "paralyzed and despised". to help Gu Cheng issue a set of asset appraisal plans that are convincing to both parties and are as beneficial to Gu Cheng as possible.
Cai Chongxin/Luo Shuohan/Gu Yongjiang and the like, there are few people in the country, and they are not so easy to find. If you want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, it is even more difficult.
On this day, it was already the middle of March. Gu Cheng's business was empty, and he went to Hengdian to take a few days off to take care of the fox to do the editing and post-production special effects of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and by the way, he changed his brain. According to the production schedule, "The Condor Heroes" will also be released before May Day, and Gu Cheng may also take time to attend one or two promotional activities such as media meetings before the release.
Just after cutting a piece of film under the guidance of Guan Hu, my cousin called me and said that there was someone to talk about.
