Chapter 996 [Deep Long-term Layout]
How would it feel to know the truth? It must have been a dog and wanted to scold the street.
Mr. Zhang didn't realize that the angel investor who supported him was the one who drove him away from Toutiao, because the investment institution that gave him angel round financing and Series A led investment was actually the marionette of Qunxing Capital, which had nothing to do with Qunxing Capital on the surface, but was actually absolutely controlled by Qunxing Capital.
Now Mr. Zhang not only does not realize it, but also is very grateful to this investor's discerning hero.
At present, under the instruction of Fang Hong, this investment institution plays the role of Mr. Zhang's Bole, and it is going to financial investment, not interfering with Mr. Zhang's operation and decision-making of the company, and is only responsible for investing money in his company.
Because this is part of the plan, first play the role of Bole well, fully gain his trust, and let him owe a little affection, which is the main premise for the follow-up plan to be launched.
On the other hand, the launch of Douyin APP, a short video business under Toutiao, has also entered the countdown, Mr. Zhang is not aware of this now, he saw that when Qunxing Capital took over Toutiao, he immediately shut down the connotation of the joke, thinking that Qunxing Capital did not look at the short video track, and was secretly happy for one less huge competitor.
However, the days of stealing joy will not be too long, and when Mr. Zhang's short video business has just improved, and he has invested huge financial costs and time and energy, Douyin is suddenly online and Stars Capital has brought so many social platforms under his command to give traffic entrances and resource tilts, Mr. Zhang's heart is definitely going to make a dog rhythm again.
The game that Fang Hong laid out for him was to exhaust the funds he had cashed out from Toutiao, once again force him to the end of his hero, and make him unable to get along in the domestic Internet circle.
Then the "angel investment institution" that he regarded as Bole and owed a favor could jump out and say: Don't be discouraged, I am very optimistic about you, it's not that you can't, but your opponent is too strong, why not avoid its edge?
Once Mr. Zhang asked, then the next logical lead:
There is Qunxing Capital in China, and you are obviously targeted by Qunxing Capital, whatever you do, he will fight with you in the ring, he is not bad for money, but you have to be constantly bloodletted, and the chance of surviving in such a hunt is very small.
We should avoid its edge and develop in places where the influence of Qunxing Capital cannot radiate, so we should seek a foothold in foreign markets, as long as we have a firm foothold in the international market to ensure that we can survive, and then go back to seek the development of the Greater China market after we have our own fundamentals, so as not to be powerless in the face of Qunxing Capital.
For Mr. Zhang, who has already embarked on the end of the hero and can't get along in the domestic Internet circle, as long as he does not have the idea of quitting and wants to continue to struggle, the advice given by the investor is the only choice, as if there is no second way for him to choose.
At this time, Mr. Zhang's funds are likely to be burned, and there is no surplus food in his hands, so if he wants to go to sea and fight again, it all depends on this Bole angel investor to continue to provide him with financing support.
At this time, I readily agreed to continue to vote for him, but this time I will propose to share the voting rights, Mr. Zhang under the end of the hero, he has such a big face, and the money invested in Mr. Zhang in front of him has been wasted, and people have no accountability and encourage you, and you will continue to invest money without hesitation like a big grudge, so that you can fight again, how many angel investors are there in this world?
People want a vote, is it possible that you are embarrassed to say the word "refusal"?
It is estimated that Mr. Zhang would rather retire and not say these two words, in fact, he can only agree, if he cheekily refuses, it will cause a big blow to his reputation in the investment circle, you treat such a good investor like this, what will others think?
The damage to his reputation in the circle will affect the follow-up financing, so as long as Mr. Zhang wants to continue to struggle, he actually has no choice in the face of the conditions proposed by angel investors, so he can only nod and agree.
Fang Hong went to great lengths to set up such a game for him, just in case something happened in the future, and he had the ability to turn the tide.
On the one hand, he needs his talent to use him to expand overseas markets, and on the other hand, because Fang Hong has a reference to the memory of his previous life, he knows that when Tik-Tok was pressured by Lao Mei many years later, he almost didn't resist Lao Mei's pressure and handed over his knees.
It is precisely because of the lessons of his previous life that Fang Hong must leave himself room to turn the tide, in case he fails to withstand the pressure in this life, then decisively intervene to stop it, and even kick it out again.
Tik-Tok is an international social media platform that Fang Hong attaches great importance to, and it is a strategic place to tear apart the control of global public opinion by Europeans and Americans.
The reason why the West hates Tik Tok so much and fails to control and ban it is that the biggest resistance is the opposition of their locals, especially the people in North America, who oppose the ban, because they believe that Tik-Tok is not just a short video entertainment platform, but an important and even the only platform where they can truly and freely express their voices.
At the same time, it is also related to many people's jobs, because a large number of video makers live on Tik-Tok, and banning it is equivalent to cutting off their financial resources, so they will naturally not agree.
Therefore, Fang Hong needs to get the voting rights from Mr. Zhang, and if necessary, he needs to intervene through the angel investors of the marionettes, for example, Tik-Tok must reduce its own profits in the future, and give more concessions and traffic support to the video producers of the platform, so that more ordinary people in Europe and the United States can rely on the income of the Tik-Tok platform to live.
As long as the number of people who live on the Tik-Tok platform is larger, the greater the resistance for some legislators in the United States to want to ban, and this resistance is still from their internal pressure.
If the legislators dare to ban Tik-Tok, the local people will drive him down, and the legislators will also cast a rat for the sake of votes, and even some lawmakers may jump out against the ban in order to get more votes.
All in all, one of Fang Hong's strategies is to make Tik-Tok bind as many groups as possible, especially the local middle and lower class people, and continue to imperceptibly instill a truth to the locals: Tik-Tok is the last platform for you to speak freely, and keeping this platform is to keep your freedom and the right to speak for yourself, and it is also a platform that can generate income for you.
Therefore, if Tik-Tok wants to stand in the international market, it must not be naïve and simply rely on the fundamentalism of market economics, nor can it maximize commercial interests, but also bundle more groups as much as possible, and making profits is definitely a very effective way.
Publishing content on this platform, the income of video producers is higher than that of other platforms, the same video is $10 on YouTube, and $20 on Tik-Tok, which will naturally attract more vloggers.
In particular, it is an eternal truth to give profits to middle and lower-class vloggers, so that they can live a good life on Tik-Tok, and they will become the most solid supporters of the platform.
