Chapter 373: Fang Ping's Suggestion
What, if you develop smartphone application software, the technical engineers who everyone reviews are probably not enough! Liu Quan rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed.
Sun Jianrui and the others also reacted, a touch of embarrassment appeared on their faces, thinking about the good thing of seizing the mobile Internet outlet in advance, Fang Ping was worried about everyone's comments, and even told himself and others for the first time.
As a result, everyone commented that the soft power could not keep up.
It really made them a little embarrassed.
Fang Ping was surprised: "Do you need to say this?" Recruitment! ”
Hiring?
You say it's lightweight, it doesn't cost anything!
Everyone comments, it's not those companies in your hands, which have deep pockets, and often burn tens of billions of dollars to do activities or something, which seems to be doing well, but in fact the profits are minimal.
It's been in the red.
At this time, any expenditure has to be carefully calculated.
What's more, if everyone reviews this time if it is recruiting, ordinary programmers will definitely not be able to, at least better technical engineers.
Similarly, the salary and benefits of this kind of technical engineer are definitely not low.
In counting the number of recruits... It's all difficult!
The corners of Liu Quan's mouth twitched and he rubbed his hands: "This... This..."
Fang Ping raised his eyebrows, looked at Liu Quan, and then looked at the expressions of Sun Jianrui and others, and suddenly reacted, Liu Quan and others are not like doing companies such as Future Technology.
I have the stock market to cut leeks and wool, even if companies such as Future Technology have not been profitable and have been losing money, they also have a lot of money to do what they want to do.
And they are really self-made, and even the money they invested in Renren's reviews was paid for by themselves in the past, and they were brought together to engage in bicycle sharing projects and earned.
Now that Renrenping has been developing for so long, although Future Technology has participated in Renrenping's angel round of financing and integrated funds, it is estimated that Renrenping can live until now, I am afraid that it is related to the order commission of errands and the service fees provided by merchants.
If there is no money, everyone will review and recruit people, and the development of smartphone application software will become a problem if it can be sustained.
Thinking of this, Fang Ping didn't point it out directly, and changed the topic and said, "How is the development of everyone's comments recently?" ”
"It's not bad, the website has covered most cities in Modu, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The number of registered users has exceeded 30 million. The average daily active users are about 50%. ”
Liu Quan said busily: "Within the coverage area every day, more than 200,000 errand purchase orders are generated. The monthly profit is about 10 million! ”
"Earn so much?" Fang Ping was a little surprised.
Liu Quan smiled bitterly: "What's more? It looks like a lot, but in fact I really can't help but spend. In particular, Renrenping is in a period of development, continues to expand, and is spending money everywhere. ”
"For now, we're losing money every month. It's just that the loss ratio is not too large, and it can be beared. ”
Fang Ping nodded thoughtfully, the Internet is like this, money comes quickly, and money is burned quickly.
Especially in the development period of the Internet, even if there is a profit, it will always lose money.
Only when it enters the mature period, forms a scale, and finds a profit model, will the situation be alleviated.
If you don't find a profit model, you have to continue to lose money.
It's like a shared bicycle in later generations.
The scale is large, but it has not been able to find a profit model for a long time, most of the bike-sharing companies have hanged, and only a few rely on capital transfusion to survive.
Wait for the time when the profit model appears.
After thinking about it, Fang Ping groaned: "Then do you want to consider starting a round of financing?" With the development momentum and scale of Renrenping, I believe that a lot of money can be incorporated into the A round of financing. ”
"In fact, we are considering introducing advertising business in the near future to increase profit points!" Liu Quan glanced at everyone and said with some hesitation.
To be honest, of course, they know that by launching Series A financing, they can quickly get a large amount of money, which makes everyone comment on the rapid development.
But they want to be like Penguin, after a financing, relying on the profit points they keep looking for to support the development of the website.
Of course, the most important point is that they pay more attention to shares.
After all, it is eight people who hold shares, and there are not many shares in their hands, and once the A round of financing is launched, it is bound to further weaken their shares.
Fang Ping raised his eyebrows, glanced at Liu Quan and the others, and said: "Personally, for a website that is in the development stage, it is best not to introduce advertising business too early, so as not to affect the user experience. ”
"It is best to introduce capital, use the capital money to develop your own business, and quickly seize the market. Although you will lose some of your shares in financing, the value of your business will increase as it grows. ”
"Of course, that's my personal opinion. Specifically, it is up to you to decide, no matter how you decide, I support you! ”
"Let's discuss!" Liu Quan said a little embarrassed.
Fang Ping shrugged: "Let's discuss!" ”
Liu Quan and the others nodded, and they didn't avoid Fang Ping, and discussed it in front of Fang Ping.
After some discussion, Liu Quan officially said: "We have discussed, listen to you, the introduction of advertising business is suspended, and the A round of financing will be launched!" ”
"Tomorrow, I'll go to your secretary Su Xiaoxiao to discuss financing!"
"Okay, it's still the old rules, you talk about it yourself, I won't interfere!"
Fang Ping nodded, and added, "What I can guarantee is that the control of Renren's review will always be in your hands!" ”
"Third child, thank you!" Liu Quan was moved.
He has been out to start a business for so long, and he knows a lot about financing, so he knows too well the weight of Fang Ping's words.
It is clearer that Fang Ping said that he did not interfere, and in fact he did not help himself and others.
If nothing else, let's talk about financing.
For another person, even if you invest money in Renren's review, you will put forward a lot of requirements. There will even be a phenomenon of capital crowding out the founders of enterprises.
As soon as Fang Ping's promise came out, it meant that no matter how the equity of Renrenping changed, the control of Renrenping would always be in their hands.
This is very rare in entrepreneurial enterprises.
Fang Ping lightly slapped Liu Quan's chest, and scolded with a smile: "Come less, you are still so polite to me." You said thank you for this effort, you might as well invite me to two more meals! ”
"Okay, I'll please!"
Liu Quan just said with a smile, suddenly reacted, glared and said, "That's not right!" Today we slaughtered you, why did you slaughter me? ”
"I'm talking about the future!" Fang Ping retorted, raised his wrist again to look at the time, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's not early." Let's go eat! ”
"Whatever you want to eat, you order, I'll pay!"
"Why don't we go masturbate! Just the barbecue stand in the alley outside the school gate! After we came out to start a business, we haven't eaten for a long time! ”
After everyone applauded repeatedly, Fang Ping's roommate Lao Wu Wang Jun proposed.
Liu Quan's eyes lit up: "This proposal is good, let's go and masturbate." What do you think? ”
"Go, go, go, let's go!"
Everyone else knows Wang Junti's barbecue stall, and to put it mildly, none of them have ever eaten that barbecue stall.
In the past, when I was in school, because the barbecue stall was cheap, the portion was sufficient, and the key taste was not bad, they often went in groups of three or five, and they had a little living expenses in their hands, so they would go to the chic once.
Even Fang Ping did not object, no, instead of objecting, he strongly agreed.
Speaking of which, he has been a frequent visitor to the barbecue stall in both his previous life and this life, and he will make an appointment with his roommates every once in a while to rub it.
Especially in his previous life, he had a muddy life at school, often sneaking out in the middle of the night to surf the Internet all night, and every time before going online, he would go to the barbecue stall to have two strings of barbecue to satisfy his hunger.
It's just that after starting a business in this life, I have been busy with work, and I have been there a lot less, and I haven't been there once in the future.
The place to eat was decided, and Fang Ping, with the assistance of Liu Quan and others, put away the prototypes, put on a mask, and chatted together about the financing of everyone's comments, and began to recruit people and develop smartphone application software.
While walking towards the barbecue stand.
Because the teahouse was not far from the location of the barbecue stall, Fang Ping and the others did not walk long before they came to the location of the barbecue stall.
At this time, it is the best time for the business of the barbecue stall, which is full of surrounding households and students of Fuda.
Fang Ping waited for about twenty minutes before the barbecue stall was empty.
Also because there are many people at the barbecue stall, and they haven't come to the barbecue stall for a long time, they all have a little nostalgia. They all avoided some topics that were not suitable for talking about such as everyone's comments, and replaced them with some trivial things that they had agreed to eat barbecue in the past.
even hurt each other, broke out their own troubles, and so on.
Gradually, as time passed, Fang Ping and the others ate barbecue, and after eating for more than two hours, they dispersed because it was too late.
The next day, after Fang Ping exercised with Ye Kai and the others as always, he had breakfast and went straight to the future science and technology office area.
As soon as he arrived at the office area, Fang Ping met Zhang Siming, exchanged two pleasantries, and learned that Future Technology, YY, and Weilai Mall had all held mobilization meetings for the development of smartphone application software overnight.
They will also divide their respective products and technical engineers into application software development teams.
We are waiting for Xingchen Technology to arrange technical engineers to assist these development teams.
After Fang Ping learned about it, he didn't procrastinate, and directly called Tang Jun to coordinate the transfer of manpower from Xingchen Technology to enter the development team of Future Technology and other companies.
It took three days for Fang Ping to finish the coordination of things.
The work of the smartphone application software development team of companies such as Future Technology is also on the right track.
This morning, Fang Ping had just finished handling daily things in his office in the future technology office area.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the office door.
Fang Ping said casually while packing up the processed documents: "Please come in!" ”
"Boss, the A round of financing of Renrenping website has been negotiated!"
In the next second, Su Xiaoxiao pushed the door from outside the office, came to Fang Ping's desk, and reported.
Fang Ping raised his eyebrows, in the past two days, he has been busy coordinating the secondment of technical engineers of Xingchen Technology to enter companies such as Future Technology, and he really didn't pay attention to the A round of financing that everyone commented.
couldn't help but pout, and after motioning for Su Xiaoxiao to sit down, he smiled and said, "How are you talking?" ”
