On July 17, after a 14-hour flight, Fang Xiao finally returned to China at about 8 p.m., but he did not transfer as originally planned, but stayed in Songjiang because he received a call from Mak Qingxin saying that Huang Zongqing wanted to get together with him tomorrow and then send him back to Hong Kong by private jet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If you compare it with the famous people in his previous life, Huang Zongqing was equivalent to Zhang Chaoyang before 2004, and equivalent to Sun Zhengyi after 2004 - he studied in the United States in 1991, returned to China in 1998 and founded a news portal, went public in 2000, and completely withdrew in 2004, and then worked full-time as a venture capitalist, known for his keen vision and decisive action, and made many classic investment cases in China and Silicon Valley, such as investing in an obscure shopping network in China in 2004, In 2007, he invested in an anonymous talkbook in the United States, which is a legendary story that is talked about, and his assets are about 7 billion US dollars, which has been firmly in the top ten of the domestic rich list, with high popularity and influence, and is the signboard and vane of the IT venture capital industry.

Huang Zongqing specially went to Hong Kong to see F

"Maggie, you don't have to come and pick me up."

Mai Qingxin and Mai Jiexin have similar appearances and names, and it is easy to confuse them, so when Mai Qingxin came back from the United States, Fang Xiao followed Zhu Linlin and called her Maggie and Mai Jiexin Maizi.

Rimless glasses used to be the logo of the Mak sisters, but after Mak Jiexin became famous, Mak Qingxin switched to contact lenses when she went out, and this small change made her feel like a different person, a little less cold. A little more gracious.

"I happened to be nearby, so I came over." Mai Qingxin looked at Fang Xiao and said, "It looks good." ”

"Flying is the same as fitness, practicing hard for a few days, and you won't get tired when you get used to it."

Mai Qingxin just smiled, she was the same as Zhu Linlin. They all belong to beauties with medium appearance and outstanding temperament, but Zhu Linlin is more literary and fashionable, like a travel guide with beautiful pictures and words, while Mai Qingxin is rational and introverted, like a simple and exquisite lady's watch.

Before leaving Los Angeles, Fang Xiao sent a photo of his ticket back to Hong Kong, and annotated a few words like he could finally sleep at home, so when he wore a wig. When I walked through Matsue Hongqiao Airport, I didn't attract anyone's attention.

"How does my hairstyle look?"

"It's ugly."

"You're so direct."

"Your face line is very hard, and it is not suitable for long hair."

"So you like the sissy."

"I mean, your look doesn't conform to aesthetic principles, what does it have to do with sissies?"

The two of them often discuss work together, they are very familiar with each other, and they have long been familiar with the way they speak, and the two chatted casually and walked to the parking lot. Then Fang Xiao saw a small and delicate red coupe, which was stylish and stylish.

"New?"

"My mom bought it. I borrowed it for use. ”

"Aunt Xu is very good at enjoying life." Fang Xiao was amazed, he took off his wig, stuffed it into the trunk with his shoulder bag, and then sat in the car and asked, "What's the situation now?" ”

"I met with Huang Zongqing yesterday, and his connected power is interested in investing $250 million. To eye

"They're all rich people!" Fang Xiao sighed with emotion, he fastened his seat belt, stuffed his body into the seat with a good sense of wrapping, and said: "It is said that the richer you are, the more stingy you are, sure enough, I read a report on the plane that from January to June this year, Colorful Holdings and Yunfeng Group spent $11 billion to acquire everywhere, which is more than twice the amount of IPO financing in the entire A-share market in the first half of the year. ”

Mai Qingxin smiled slightly.

"What do you say?"

Goldman Sachs to Eye

"Cliché! Don't mention the acquisition, you can consider buying shares, but 250 million wants 45% of the shares, Huang Zongqing is too ruthless, and he will cut it tomorrow...... Maggie, how about 20%? ”

"Unlikely, Huang Zongqing is very strong, and at the same time eye

"If it had been five days ago, I might not have even bothered to talk about financing, and I would have just put eye

He touched his chin and said in a seemingly casual but ambitious tone: "I have about $60 million in my personal account, all invested in eye."

Mai Qingxin was a little surprised by Fang Xiao's high-spirited state of mind, glanced at him, and then reminded: "It is very risky for you to do this, Weiji and Xunyi are both developing products similar to ours, and Weixin has also strengthened the picture sharing function in the new version, and Weixin has more than 300 million active users." It's a lot of pressure on us, and we can't find a clear sustainable profit point at the moment, and we've been burning money. ”

"I know all of that." Fang Xiao looked sideways at the brightly lit building outside the car window, and after a while, said, "Maggie, what do you think of the prospects of the streaming music industry?" ”

"What are the prospects?"

"Prospects as a core product. With it at its core, can Google remain competitive for a long time? ”

"I can't." Mai Qingxin vetoed it without any hesitation, saying: "After the birth of television, sound is no longer the core carrier of information media, so the traditional broadcasting industry soon declined, streaming music is equivalent to broadcasting in the Internet era, and it does not have the potential for development, and it will inevitably become an appendage of large media groups in the future." ”

"How long will this future be in the future?"

"Three or five years. There is already this trend, last year Avalon acquired SoundExpress, TalkBook integrated Box on the page, and, the day before yesterday, Seek.com wholly acquired Meow Meow Internet Radio. ”

"Really?"

Meow Meow Radio is a niche streaming music website, which poses little threat to Dragonfly Music for the time being, but Mai Qingxin's words reminded Fang Xiao of the Internet landscape in his previous life, and Teng-Xun has Q-Q music. Net-easy to do cloud music, 100-degree to listen to as you like. Ali buys Xiami, Google pushes streaming subscription service on YouTube, Apple makes iTunes-Radio......

She's right, music is important, but music isn't indispensable, since the advent of television. Human beings have always pursued a full range of music and painting experiences, as small as a web page, as large as a movie, which can be without music, but not without pictures. "Seeing" is the core, and "listening" is the auxiliary, so if Fang Xiao wants to build an entertainment empire, eye

But the problem is that dragonfly music can provide a steady stream of income, while eye

Now eye

A nascent Internet company, can be roughly divided into seed stage, start-up stage, development period, expansion period and maturity period, Fang Xiao used the design ideas of the previous life and the unreasonable marketing method to give eye in just three months

Mai Qingxin drove the car to a luxury hotel, Fang Xiao looked up, couldn't help but smile, and said, "I just came out of Lizzy Carlton yesterday, and I moved in again today." ”

"This is a global hotel chain." Mai Qingxin took out a magnetic card from the storage box and said, "5018." ”

"Thank you." Fang Xiao took the card and asked, "What about the materials you need to use when you meet Huang Zongqing tomorrow?" ”

"Now? You're not tired? ”

"Okay, I slept on the plane for a long time."

"I thought you needed to rest, so I didn't bring it." Mai Qingxin pinched the steering wheel, looked at him sideways, and said: "It seems that the effect of travel is good, and the work is much stronger than before." ”

Fang Xiao smiled, he touched his short hair, and asked with a smile, "I wasn't a workaholic before?" ”

"In the past, work was more of a hobby to pass the time for you."

"Maggie, you should also go out and relax."

"Flying around? I can go to the children's playground and swing. Mai Qingxin said a rare teasing word, and she looked left and right. Looking for a parking space, he said, "It's still early, I'll go up and talk to you about the point, I wanted to come over tomorrow morning to talk." ”

"It's fine."

After parking the car under the guidance of the doorman, Mai Qingxin and Fang Xiao walked into the hotel side by side, waiting for the elevator. She suddenly said, "I want to transfer the shares of Google and invest in eye."

Fang Xiao was surprised, and asked with a smile: "Just now you persuaded me that it was risky, and this will burn money with me again?" ”

"I'm eye too

"Are you sure? Although your stake in Google is not much, the risk is very small, and you can pay stable dividends and invest in eye

“eye

Mak owns less than 0.7% of Google's shares, while at Eye

After Dragonfly Music paid for it, the number of paid members exceeded expectations, and the Rolling Stone Project and Yahoo KTV were also widely optimistic, so it has been less than a month since the last financing, and Google's valuation has been much higher. The shares owned by Mai Qingxin seem shabby, but they are worth nearly 100 million, which is not a small amount.

"Since you want to sell, let Selina help you find a buyer from outside, the people outside are asking for a high price."

"Is there a limit?"

"Preferably an individual or institution for investment purposes. Don't give potential competitors such as Colorful Holdings or Kuaikan Network, sooner or later we have to make our own video network. ”

The Litz-Carlton Hotel in Songjiang is as luxurious as that of Los Angeles, but the decoration style is different, the one here is more leisurely, the one here is more business, Mai Qingxinding's room is facing the Huangpu River, with an excellent view, the river flows outside the window, the traffic is endless, the high-rise buildings are towering, the lights are brilliant, majestic and spectacular, prosperous and blurred.

This is an executive suite, the outer hall is separated from the bedroom, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the outer hall, there is a round coffee table and two purple sofas, Fang Xiao opened the freezer, took out two bottles of water, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, this coffee table is a bit similar to the stone table in the woods of Nanshi, the meeting between the two of us that day was a meeting in Nanhu, and tonight is probably a meeting in Zunyi." ”

"There's no couch in the woods."

Fang Xiao relied on the memory and knowledge reserve of his previous life to be in the eye

“eye

"Draw flatbread?" Fang Xiao smiled, he took the pen from Mai Qingxin's hand, tore out a sticky note, and said, "I have thought about it carefully in the past few days, and I am ready to put an eye."

"The first one, put the eye

Mai Qingxin sighed softly and looked up at him.

"What's wrong?"

"You think the same way I do."

"Hehe...... What do you think? ”

"Cheap and convenient are the two major selling points of online shopping, the domestic e-commerce market has entered a mature period after more than 10 years of development, and at the same time, the per capita income in China is much more than before, cheap is no longer the key, convenience is. How to quickly pick what you are satisfied with among thousands of bargains is a headache for many people. ”

"That's right, a lot of people now have a choice difficulty syndrome."

"There are many kinds of e-commerce products, such as home appliances and digital products, which are highly standardized, and price is still the focus of customers' considerations, but apparel and cosmetics are aesthetic products. eye

Fang Xiao put down the pen, picked up the water glass, and said with a smile: "Maggie." It's my honor to meet you, and I'm here to give you a drink. ”

Mai Qingxin smiled, picked up the plastic bottle that had not been uncovered, and touched him.

"I don't have as much depth as you think, and the reason why I want to be an e-commerce shopping guide is because I saw a report. said that every time Xiao Ke was photographed on the street, there would be a lot of imitations of the same style as her on the shopping network. Fang Xiao picked up the pen again. Drawing a picture on a sticky note, he said, "The monkeys have complained to me more than once that it is troublesome to buy clothes and that they can't match them, so I thought of developing eye."

"We can sign up celebrities, designers, fashionistas, and active users to put out the matching clothes, and that's it. It simplifies the entire shopping experience into a picture + an online shopping address, so you don't have to plunge into the messy pages of the shopping network and can't get out, and at the same time wear a beautiful dress, you can also take a selfie to show off, killing two birds with one stone. It can not only improve the activity of old users, but also attract new users to join eye

Fang Xiao said that this idea is actually the mushroom street in the previous life, clothing, shoes, and cosmetics are the most purchased goods online, and clothing matching is a very particular science, many people have been shopping online all day, and they may not be able to buy a suitable dress, or buy a dress, but they find it very frustrating when they wear it......

Once the e-commerce shopping guide is done, it is easy to make a profit, because it is similar to a search engine, it is a very strong traffic entrance, advertising, commissions, group buying, merchant services, etc. can make money, like Mushroom Street, less than a year after it was launched, the daily ** access users are as high as 2.2 million, the daily number of views exceeds 100 million, and there are 800,000 to 900,000 traffic guides to Taobao every day, which generates about 5 million transactions, and the commission alone exceeds 100,000 yuan per day, which is only the data at the beginning of 2012......

Traditional e-commerce is based on hypermarket thinking, just pile things on the website, what customers want to buy, go in and pick by themselves, and Fang Xiao does this, it is based on social thinking to play e-commerce, customers first look at the effect, and then go to e-commerce - the former is "rich, go buy a new dress", the latter is "your clothes are so beautiful, I also want to buy", for merchants, the latter thinking is more popular, one is because the purchase is stronger, and the other is because customers will find you accurately.

"The shopping network may not open the port to eye

"It doesn't matter, there is more than one e-commerce shopping network in China, we can cooperate with others, and we have eBay Mall, which can be our own brand." Fang Xiao said confidently: "Always selling T-shirts has no future, it's almost time to transform, Director Qin has a lot of ideas about fashion clothing." ”

Mai Qingxin snorted and asked, "You just said that the e-commerce shopping guide is only the first functional module, what else?" ”

"The second is to learn from WeChat, to do the public account module, eye

"The third is to open a micro-video module, allowing users to upload videos of no more than 10 seconds, which cannot be profitable for the time being, but it is a very good concept, and Huang Zongqing will like it."

Mai Qingxin nodded slightly.

"The fourth module, I'm going to do news aggregation, eye

"That's what I've thought of too." Mak agreed, saying: "The news aggregation module is a good advertising platform, which can not only expand the eye

This is also the inspiration that Fang Xiao got from his previous life - "Today's Headlines", a news aggregation app, has been online for less than two years and is valued at nearly $500 million.

"There are generally only three ways to make money on social networks: advertising, e-commerce, and paid services. E-commerce and advertising have been done, and I want to try the rest of the paid services, I am ready to open VIP membership and provide differentiated services, such as connecting with dragonfly music as I said last time, providing background music services, and others such as special filters, decorative templates, large storage space, etc. ”

"It's just a service, not a functional module."

"I know, for the time being, I've only thought of four modules, and the rest are not very mature." Fang Xiao put down the pen and said, "These four modules are the icing on the cake and will not hurt the eye."

"What about games? A lot of users like to play on Eye

Fang Xiao laughed and said, "Let's talk about it later, we can't show all the hole cards to Huang Zongqing at once." (To be continued.) )u
