Chapter 171: The Second Billionaire of the Slope Department!
Zheng Wentong inspected Jiangchu for two days, focusing on the Xingu Software Park, and also visited the Douyu headquarters again.
Chen Shaojie, the founder of Douyu, welcomed the arrival of slope investment, and in March this year, Douyu TV just completed a $100 million Series B financing, led by Penguin.
Slope investment came into contact with Douyu very early, when Slope Investment had just been established and the funds were insufficient, so between Station B and Douyu, Zheng Wentong decisively chose Station B.
If it weren't for Penguin's investment in Douyu and Huya at the same time, so that the two game live streaming sites merged, both of them would probably have to go public.
From an investment point of view, Zheng Wentong himself and Slope Investment do not need to invest in Douyu, because the profit margin itself is not large.
Betta likes to use money to poach head anchors, and its contracted anchors include Feng Timo, PDD, Rising Sun Baby, and Chen Yinfaer.
Douyu, who completed the B and C rounds of financing, had a lot of money and signed the e-sports anchor Xiaozhi, but within a year, he was poached by Principal Wang's Panda TV.
In fact, Chen Shaojie also tried to contact the anchor of Weimeng Media, Rabbit Tooth, and wanted to sign her, but after Chen Shaojie finished contacting, he learned that Rabbit Tooth and other anchors signed a long-term contract with Weimeng Media, even if Douyu was willing to pay liquidated damages and sign Rabbit Tooth, this screen name could not continue to be used in the live broadcast room.
However, after the establishment of the Slope Industry Fund, Zheng Wentong can invest in Betta in the name of the Industrial Fund, and when the Penguin promotes the merger of Douyu and Huya, the Slope Industry Fund will sell the equity of Betta and sell it back to Penguin.
Chen Shaojie found that Zheng Wentong not only asked a lot of questions about betta, but also asked a lot of questions about station A.
Chen Shaojie had a guess in his heart, "In addition to Douyu, Mr. Zheng will not be interested in investing in Station A, right?" â
"Mr. Cai has such a strong desire to control station A, and I am not the kind of character who sends people under the fence, but I just think that after station A moves from Jiangchu to Yanjing, it will become more and more unpleasant." Zheng Wentong said.
"Who's to say it isn't?" When Chen Shaojie was the CEO of Station A, he also wanted to do a good job of Station A, but he still felt that he was constrained everywhere, so he simply set up his own portal to create Douyu TV.
Betta is actually the "live broadcast" game live channel channel incubated in station A, and it was independently renamed Betta TV after New Year's Day in 14.
Chen Shaojie is the old shareholder of Station A, and Cai Dongqing, the major shareholder of Station A, has completed an angel round investment of 20 million yuan in Douyu TV.
The current predicament of Station A is that it frequently falls into infighting, and every time an external shareholder becomes a shareholder, the management will be bloodbathed.
The founder Cai Dongqing doesn't understand website operation, but he is reluctant to give up power, so Station A, the originator of the mainland's ACG website, has been thrown out of a big distance by the rising star Station B.
In a few years, Station B and Douyu TV have been listed, but Station A is facing the end of shutting down, I don't know what the founder Cai Dongqing thinks?
"If Mr. Zheng is willing to go out, Station A doesn't need to change the CEO frequently." Chen Shaojie said.
"In fact, it doesn't matter who is the CEO, the key is to be patient with Mr. Cai, and you have to give others two or three years to try, just introduced SoftBank China in January, CEO Sun Min was transferred, and Mo Ran took over as CEO. Zheng Wentong said bluntly.
"Mr. Zheng's suggestion, I will tell Mr. Cai, after all, he made a fortune as an entity, so he is still slightly deficient in website operation." Chen Shaojie said.
Zheng Wentong is certainly qualified to say this, and his ability to operate two Internet companies, Weke Xinke and Interconnection, at the same time, has already reflected his management level.
"Mr. Chen has now completed the B round of financing, and the ammunition is sufficient, and I wish the first carnival of Betta a complete success in advance." Zheng Wentong said.
The first Douyu Carnival was held during Labor Day in 16, when LOL anchors Lu Benwei, Deyunse, Strawberry, and Smile all attended, Feng Timo and Chen Yinfa didn't start to emerge until 17 years, and Feng Timo didn't know the little accountant at this time.
But it's also strange to say,Douyu's contracted anchors do frequently produce black material,After losing several generals in a row,Douyu TV was overtaken by Huya TVă
Leaving the Douyu headquarters, Xu Ru asked Zheng Wentong: "It can be seen that in fact, you are not optimistic about the development model of Douyu, so why do we still invest in Douyu?" â
"At present, Douyu's income is still too dependent on the reward income of these head anchors."
"Let the Bullets Fly" has revealed the inside story of the live broadcast reward, the gentry donate first, the people donate later, and after the matter is completed, the gentry's money will be returned, and the people's money will be divided into three or seven."
"The live broadcast guild will first brush gifts, stir up the heat of the live broadcast room, attract fans to watch, and after they finish, there will be fans who follow the trend to brush gifts for the anchors. Isn't this kind of gift for anchors an IQ tax? Zheng Wentong said.
"Don't knock over all the anchors with one shot, we have also signed a lot of anchors with Weimeng Media." Xu Ru said.
"Can this be compared? Let me put it this way, in my opinion, the anchors who signed a contract with Douyu have one thing to say, all of which add up, and the commercial value is not as high as Li Ziqi alone. â
"The video of Lanzhou beef noodles is very popular, but Lanzhou beef noodles cannot be mass-produced. We have registered Li Ziqi as a trademark in the food category, and we are ready to launch a special video on snail noodles. â
"Before the video was launched, we would contact snail flour manufacturers in Wuling City to process and produce Li Ziqi brand snail flour."
"After Li Ziqi's brand snail noodles are listed, you will realize that Li Ziqi is the number one anchor of Weimeng Media." Zheng Wentong said.
"The employees in the company are saying that Mr. Zheng's optimistic investment projects are almost all missed, and I certainly trust your judgment in this regard. According to what you say, Li Ziqi will soon become a well-known trademark? Xu Ru said.
"Not only that, the three words Li Ziqi will not only become a well-known trademark, but also become a cultural phenomenon, Li Ziqi's video on Youtube every video has at least 10 million views, according to my estimates, Li Ziqi will soon become the second billionaire in our slope department." Zheng Wentong said.
Of course, Zheng Wentong's side excluded Zhong Lifang and others, because they already had assets of more than 100 million before joining the slope system.
"Haha, this word can't be spread, otherwise there must be many people on Weimeng Media's side who want to pursue Li Ziqi as his wife." Xu Ru said.
"I don't know how good a rich woman is when I'm young, I mistake a girl for a treasure, I don't know the fragrance of soft rice when I'm young, and I mistakenly plant my youth upside down, right?" Zheng Wentong joked.
"To put it one thing at a time, Mr. Zheng, are you going bankrupt in your investment, so you are ready to eat soft rice and rely on women to support you?" Xu Ru asked the boss.
"If I don't open a company one day, I'll count on the fawn to keep me. If Li Ziqi will become the second billionaire under the company, then Xiaolu will definitely be the third. Zheng Wentong said.
"Didn't you keep saying that Yang Zi was the first sister of the pony galloping before? Why did Xiaolu earn more than 100 million earlier than Yang Zi? Xu Ru caught Zheng Wentong's speech disease.
"That's no way, Bai Xiaolu is his own person, and his daughter-in-law hurts his own family. She handed over all her personal income to me for investment, so I have to help her increase her value by seven or eight times, right? "On a business trip for a few days, although I keep in touch every day, he still misses his girlfriend very much.
"Okay, I don't expect you to help me manage my finances, if I make investments in the future, if it's convenient for you here, give me a suggestion and tell me if I can invest money." Xu Ru said.
"If the industry I know is okay, if I don't know the industry, it's useless for you to ask me. For example, I used to want to invest in the chip industry, but I couldn't even tell the type of lithography machine. Zheng Wentong said.
"By the way, if Li Ziqi becomes the company's number one anchor with goods as you expected, aren't you afraid that she will change jobs? After all, I often see other platforms signing up top anchors. Xu Ru was worried.
"If I don't even think about this problem, what kind of boss will I be, the reason why I can make the company bigger and bigger is that I give up my profits, and never expect one person to earn all the money, which will only offend everyone and push people to your opposite." Zheng Wentong talked about his investment philosophy.
Zheng Wentong learned the lesson of Li Ziqi and Weinian Technology before the rebirth, and was willing to give Li Ziqi profits from the beginning.
Li Ziqi owns trademarks such as "Li Ziqi", "Ziqi" and "Qi", and Li Ziqi is authorized to use them by Weimeng Media and its subsidiaries.
Weimeng Media has partnered with Li Ziqi to establish a food company in Wuling City, Wuling Qimeng Food Co., Ltd., Weimeng Media holds 70% of the shares, Li Ziqi holds 20% of the shares, and 10% is left to a food processing factory in Wuling City. This food processing plant is mainly used for the processing and production of plum seven brand snail flour.
In addition to this, Weimeng Media has helped Li Ziqi to register Li Ziqi's Taobao flagship store, which is also two shareholders of Weimeng Media and Li Ziqi, and Weimeng Media holds 70% of the shares.
The cost of a pack of snail noodles is three yuan, and the three packs are bought together, the customer unit price is 39.9 yuan, the annual sales volume is 500 million, and the gross profit is 70%.
Li Ziqi's Taobao flagship store can beat many A-share food companies in one year's food sales.
At present, Li Ziqi's Taobao flagship store has launched the first product, Tongji bamboo handicrafts, there are orders every day, and it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of sales in a month.
So Zheng Wentong said that Li Ziqi would become the second billionaire in the slope system, which is not wrong at all.
Before Zheng Wentong's rebirth, the reason why Weinian Technology and Li Ziqi had a falling out was because Weinian Technology incubated the super IP of Li Ziqi, but refused to let Li Ziqi benefit, so Li Ziqi would rather stop updating the video, and finally caused both families to lose.
Of course, Zheng Wentong's timeline for signing Li Ziqi was earlier than Weinian Technology, and Zheng Wentong's side can be said to have single-handedly adjusted Li Ziqi, taught her how to shoot videos, provided video ideas, and invited teachers to train her.
So Li Ziqi is still very grateful to Zheng Wentong, because Zheng Wentong can actually create another Li Ziqi, but he doesn't, and he also partners with Li Ziqi to do business.
Everyone knows that being able to partner with Zheng Wentong to do business means making money, Li Ziqi's treatment can be said to be the first person in the company, and Li Ziqi is a little scared.
However, Rabbit Tooth and Yili Xiaoshazi are also jealous, because they can't do Li Ziqi's job, so they can dive into learning to make Lanzhou beef noodles and Tongji bamboo weaving, they can't bear this hardship.
In order to learn the craft of bamboo weaving, Li Ziqi pierced the bamboo thorns with blood on her hands, but after she bandaged them with a band-aid, she devoted herself to learning technology.
