It stands to reason that ByteDance, as the parent group of Douying, has no shortage of investment at all, and there is no problem of funds.

But who made Douying's development exceed all of their expectations.

As a result, the original plan has been accelerated repeatedly, and the corresponding funds have been consumed more rapidly.

In this case, new investors should have been introduced, and investment institutions such as SoftBank, Morgan Stanley, and Sequoia Huaxia have shown great interest.

It can be said that as long as Zhang Yiyi shows a little bit of tone, a lot of money will pour in like crazy.

You must know that in less than half a year, Douying has achieved a user volume of more than 150 million mark, and who is not greedy for the vast traffic pool?

Penguin Group has always been strict against bytes, because the latter has found another way to bypass instant messaging to retain users.

After investigation, many mobile phone owners nowadays spend much more time logging in to Douying a day than other software, which means that Douying can guide users to any direction as long as they want to.

It's just that for the time being, it has not found a monetization channel and development direction, but Penguin Group has also experienced this.

In the past, when the number of users of the Penguin Group exceeded 100 million, it was on the verge of bankruptcy because of the cost of the server.

The dilemma at that time was that there was traffic in hand, but it could not be realized.

But the penguin passed this level and became a behemoth in an instant, who can guarantee that Byte can't break through?

Not to mention Douying's allies and Jiaxing, Xu Jia's means of making money are endless, and any project can be turned into a cash cow through his hands, and the cooperation between these two parties poses too much threat to penguins.

So Brother Xiao Ma could only suppress bytes while wooing Jiaxing and wanting to divide himself, but it was a pity that he underestimated Zhang Yiyi's mind and Xu Jia's ability.

Wandering between the two giants, there is no constraint at all, but both parties have to stutter him.

With Xu Jia as Zhuge here, Zhang Yi is naturally unwilling to give up his interests to those investment institutions.

As a senior entrepreneur, he knows better than anyone the means of those investment institutions, even if he has to cooperate with these institutions in order to develop in the future, it can be delayed for as long as possible.

"Recently, people from Sequoia and people from SoftBank have approached me and want us to start financing, and the price is not low, including Penguin and Alibaba, but I think if we have a monetization channel, there is no need to introduce it so early, what do you think?"

Zhang Yiyi looked at Xu Jia, who he believed would understand what he meant.

Xu Jia naturally knew Zhang Yiyi's thoughts, and he was on the same front as the other party, after all, he was also a shareholder, and the introduction of other financing would only dilute his shares, and the more he went on, the greater the value.

But he couldn't give Zhang Yiyi an idea in vain, so he pointed out: "Traffic monetization is not only a big problem for Douying, but also a problem that cannot be avoided for any start-up, as long as this problem can be solved, in fact, the company is half of the success, and now Douying has solved the other half of the problem, how to drain traffic, and then solve this half, it can be said that it has stepped into the door of success, it is difficult and difficult!" ”

Hearing Xu Jialian say three difficult words, a look of approval appeared on the faces of the other accompanying personnel.

Indeed, if this problem is so easy to solve, then why do so many of them need to brainstorm it? Is it all rice buckets?

It's just that Zhang Yiyi's heart moved slightly, with his understanding of Xu Jia, if there was really no solution, the latter would not be able to say so much.

In his opinion, there is always only one reason why it is impossible to negotiate, and that is that the benefits given are not enough.

"It's because it's difficult, that's why I found you as a consultant, others don't have ideas, I don't believe you will have no ideas, of course, there is another thing, that is, I plan to open another 10% of the shares, as the so-called fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders, this is not the first time to ask your wishes."

Zhang Yiyi ignored the shocked eyes of others, and said with a smile: "Of course, if there is a good thing, you will stick to your own people first, don't you say?" ”

Open 10% stake?

How come we, the business executives, don't know?

"Zhang Dong......" Liang Rubo couldn't help but speak.

Zhang Yiyi glanced over, and the latter closed his mouth.

Obviously, this decision was not made by the chairman of the board of directors with a pat on the head, but was intended to be implemented thoroughly.

Unlike Liang Rubo, who is proficient in technology but neglects people, Wu Dezhou immediately realized that this share was used to make conditions with Xu Jia, as long as the latter could come up with a way to realize it, he could have the qualification to buy the 10% shares.

It can be said that this person came first, and then there was this thing.

It's like some braided positions, you think this position is very strange, and the requirements are outrageous, but in fact, this is specially set up for specific people, and it is really a radish and a pit.

"Look at what you said, even if there is no such thing as shares, I can't cherish you, after all, I am my own person."

Xu Jia looked satisfied, and did not forget to excuse himself a few words, before he said slowly: "The main channel for Penguin's traffic monetization lies in games, but we have just started, and the game industry has entered the Three Kingdoms period. ”

"Penguin, NetEase two local sitting, as well as overseas game companies from time to time to enter, this area has no room for our activities for the time being, I suggest that we can come out of the small game section, used to add user playable functions, better retention, of course, advertising costs should also have a lot of growth."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and as soon as Xu Jia opened his mouth, they were empowered.

Isn't the earliest penguin game a web game embedded in the penguin space, such as penguin farm and parking space grabbing, although the profit is not much, but the retention and attraction of users are great.

What's more, for the current Douying, any part of the revenue development is a long drought and nectar.

Whoever guards such a large flow pool, but there is no way to realize it, the heart and liver are like being scratched by a kitten's paws, and they can itch to death.

"Other small functions, you can learn from other platforms to enrich the software, I think the next development and main copyright is live broadcast."

Xu Jia made a final decision, not giving others a chance to react at all, "Funny fish, Huya, Panda These live broadcast software are ready-made examples, we have an advantage over them is that our user group covers the vast majority of people in China, and can accommodate more types of live broadcasts, we want to encourage individual users to participate, and then there will always be real gold in the big waves, and live broadcasts can also promote the growth of the community." ”

He silently said sorry to Wang Tearing Onion in his heart, anyway, even if he didn't grab his job, the latter would be finished sooner or later, so it was better to help him return to the right path in advance, and be a rich second generation who eats and waits for death.
