Fang Hong put aside the business plan in his hand, but he thought of the founder of Toutiao again, after buying Toutiao, Mr. Zhang was likely to take the money and leave, which was the fifth entrepreneurial failure.

Of course, this time he said that the business failed, and it was also relative to him giving up control of Toutiao.

From a financial point of view, his venture will definitely be a success, and he will have the financial freedom to realize billions of yuan by selling Toutiao's equity.

With this money, it is completely enough to support him to start his sixth venture, and the foundation is much better than the previous ones, and he will definitely start his sixth venture, and it is unlikely that he will retire to enjoy life.

At this moment, Fang Hong is also thinking about which field the next entrepreneurial project will be launched after Mr. Zhang sells the headlines and takes the money and leaves.

“…… Most of them will be in the field of short videos. Fang Hong analyzed and judged to himself, he believed that Mr. Zhang's next venture would most likely be anchored in the field of short video, and he must have seen the potential of the short video business from the product of Connotation Duanzi, and there is also experience in this area, so there are enough reasons to continue to cultivate deeply.

may even return to the old business and pick up the wild way of connotation jokes again as the starting means of the sixth venture, on the one hand, the path dependence has experience, on the other hand, if Qunxing Capital has made headlines of products, the first thing is to shut down the connotation jokes.

Originally, the connotation of the joke has become a similar competitor far ahead, Mr. Zhang would hesitate if he made another one, but if Qunxing Capital turned off the connotation joke, the biggest competitor disappeared directly in place, but the market stayed.

The guillotine of supervision has not fallen, the market demand is still there, if Mr. Zhang sees it, there is a high probability that he will pick it up again and make a replacement product with a connotation of paragraphs.

and then gradually attract traffic to the short video business through this product, just like the rise of Toutiao.

Fang Hong believes that if Qunxing Capital takes the headlines down, Mr. Zhang will definitely be unhappy after leaving, he is more or less holding his breath in his heart, if there is a chance, he will definitely want to backstab, and create a new product to turn the headlines over, so that not only can he succeed, but also can export his evil anger fiercely, and he is motivated to think about it.

"It seems that you have to continue to pay attention to Mr. Zhang......" Fang Hong couldn't help but show a smile, Mr. Zhang went to play other projects, if he came to the short video industry, he would be embarrassed, he could only cut Hu again, and let Qunxing Capital become his lifelong enemy series.

As long as Mr. Zhang has this sign, he will immediately let Toutiao launch a short video business, focusing on taking Mr. Zhang's path so that Mr. Zhang has no way out.

……

After Fang Hong's decision was finalized, Wu, one of the members of the board of directors of Qunxing Capital, took on this task, personally set up the acquisition team, and went directly to the headquarters of Toutiao to discuss the acquisition offer with Mr. Zhang.

Toutiao is currently valued at $500 million after completing its latest funding round, which is not yet unicorn-like.

Under normal circumstances, Qunxing Capital would not let one of the seven directors personally come forward to acquire such a start-up company, but this time it is different, if the outside world sees Wu Cheng personally leading a delegation to initiate an acquisition offer, it will definitely be impressed by the headlines.

Because Wu Cheng's personal move is equivalent to showing the outside world that Qunxing Capital attaches great importance to this start-up, maybe based on this, Toutiao's valuation may take off in place to see the $1 billion unicorn level.

However, this acquisition negotiation was originally an open talk, that is, it was to talk in an upright manner, and it was clear that he was optimistic about the company.

Qunxing Capital is not afraid of the opponent sitting on the ground or not selling, because it has a killer weapon in hand.

Fang Hong's soul three tortures, as long as they can't be broken, then the ending of the headline is already doomed, it is nothing more than two results.

One is to be directly rigid and finally go out of business.

The other is to stand in line and merge into the galaxy, the founding team takes the money and leaves with dignity, and the original investment institutions also give one of the two, whether to sell the equity at a high premium now and exit the bag for safety, or to reverse the car in the future and pick up people to get back on the bus.

Those who dare to show their cards to play often represent their absolute strength.

……

At the same time, the WeChat team was not idle, and the linkage of the "family bucket" of the galaxy was also in full swing.

On Saturday, October 25, the general public living in the new city found that several agricultural products supermarkets opened by the galaxy in the city had a QR code at the cash register, and customers who came to buy vegetables could pay directly through WeChat by scanning the code if they had a WeChat wallet.

Qunxing Capital has been integrating modern agricultural technology and integrating the upstream and downstream industrial chains for a while, and has opened hundreds of supermarkets specializing in agricultural products through mergers and acquisitions and reintegration across the country, and the speed of expansion is very fast.

The project, which is still operating at a loss, is not enough to break even.

Because the upstream and downstream of the entire industrial chain have not been fully opened, including the logistics system, including the output of the modern planting base in the northwest, these are the one thing.

On the other hand, in order to keep the fruits and vegetables on sale fresh, the vegetables that cannot be sold are no longer fresh, but are directly off the shelves and then fed to poultry and livestock, including some more expensive meat products, which are directly removed from the shelves and disposed of if they are not fresh, which is also an important reason why the cost cannot be reduced.

But in the long run, this is the right thing to do, and the situation is now showing signs of improvement, the most intuitive manifestation of which is that the number of customers who come to the supermarket to buy groceries is gradually increasing.

Everyone says that the fruits and vegetables in this supermarket are fresh and clean, and the flow of origin is indicated, and the origin is indicated, and what fertilizer is used in the place of origin, which can be clearly checked, and even there is no fresh light in the supermarket to camouflage the freshness of the product.

is so transparent, which has never been seen before, and it also reassures the public to eat.

Moreover, the price of products in similar vegetable markets has only increased by 7.5%, which is acceptable to consumers, because these agricultural products supermarkets are more professional and hygienic as soon as they enter it.

Coupled with the transparency of origin, if you fill a membership in the supermarket, all products, whether fruits, vegetables or meat products, can enjoy a 5% discount, which is equivalent to only 2.5% higher than the vegetable market outside, which is completely acceptable to consumers.

There are even some people who wonder if this supermarket can make money? In fact, consumers also know in their hearts that it costs to be so transparent and professional, and to stick to the bottom line of food safety.

However, this is also more word-of-mouth, as long as you eat at ease, even if the price is raised, consumers can accept it, and the most unacceptable thing for everyone is that you spend too much money and eat uncleanly.

To a large extent, the foil of peers is also indispensable.

Now it is operating at a loss, but it does not express that it will continue to lose money, and when the whole industrial chain is opened up, the modern agricultural technology that has been rolled out in the western region has risen, and the cost amortization of the scale effect can not only break even, but also make a profit of three or four percentage points is not a problem at all.

Fang Hong's layout has never been short-sighted, only looking at the single benefit of a certain industry, Qunxing Capital is now involved in so many industries, the scope of radiation is so wide, as the helmsman, Fang Hong is from the perspective of the overall situation.

As the saying goes, the disease comes from the mouth, food safety is done well, the people are less sick, they can reduce medical expenditure, prevention is more effective than cure, so it can also alleviate the expenditure of medical resources of more than 1,000 hospitals next door, because it is not to make money, of course, it is hoped that the fewer patients in the hospital, the better, and the less means less operating expenses.

In the same way, the invisible benefits attached to the linkage of various industries are invisible but very powerful, such as the promotion of WeChat payment now, and the major agricultural product supermarkets distributed throughout the country can be promoted offline, and the two major online and offline scenarios and products complement each other and achieve each other.

It is not only convenient for ordinary people's consumption, but also competitive for the supermarket itself, and at the same time, the application scenario ecology of WeChat payment is also richer and more diverse.
