Chapter 120: A twist
On TV, Jiang Chao calmly talked about his grand goal in front of the camera: "Let our shared bicycles serve all universities, so that the last mile of the campus is not difficult to walk!"
Hearing this, Liu Yudong couldn't help laughing, "Niu Yun started Taobao and said he would make it easy to do business all over the world. This Jiang Chao said he would make it easy for schools to walk the last mile. One is for the world and the other is for universities. He is
Ambitious but not arrogant."
Zhou Wenyu could only laugh along.
Liu Yudong was very addicted to smoking, but he never smoked at home, especially in front of Liu Shihan, so he would have enough when he was outside. At this time, he lit another cigarette, pondered for a moment, and then asked Zhou Wenyu: "You
What do you think of this shared bike?”
Zhou Wenyu was silent for a while. He was struggling. When Liu Yudong was watching TV just now, he clearly showed his approval of this shared bicycle, but if he praised this project, wouldn't it mean that Liu Yudong was mistaken when chatting with Jiang Chao?
?This is a big taboo! Therefore, Zhou Wenyu said: "It has advantages and disadvantages."
Liu Yudong took a puff of cigarette: "Tell me the advantages."
"According to Chairman Liu's point just now, this project does meet the three characteristics of projects favored by venture capital, as Jiang Chao said."
"First, attention. This project will obviously attract a lot of attention. College student entrepreneurship, low-carbon and environmental protection are major national policies. This is the trend! If we follow the trend, we can foresee that it will be officially recognized. In addition,
, the sharing economy concept that is very popular in society now is also reflected in this bicycle. So it can easily attract attention!"
Liu Yudong was noncommittal and shook the ashes from his cigarette: "Keep talking."
"The second point is asset-light. Obviously, this project is a typical asset-light project. They don't need to produce bicycles, factories, or even business premises. Expanding the scale is nothing more than more bicycles."
Liu Yudong smiled: "Not bad."
Zhou Wenyu paused, collected his thoughts slightly, and continued: "Third point, this project has great secondary development value! Ordinary people may think that this shared bicycle is just a rental fee, but it is not. Now.
They don’t have many users of shared bicycles yet, but if the scale is expanded in the future and the number of users increases, there will be more channels for monetization!”
The more Zhou Wenyu talked about it, the more excited he became: "For example, the advertising space on the app page, the greater the user traffic, the higher the value. For example, the deposit fund pool can be used as an investment asset..."
Liu Yudong took a puff of cigarette and said, "Tell me about the shortcomings."
Zhou Wenyu thought for a while and followed Liu Yudong's evaluation of Jiang Chao just now and said: "As Director Liu said, this Jiang Chao is a student after all, and his team is also a student. A team built by students is too immature.
Jiang Chao may have come up with this project by accident, but he does not have the height of a chairman, so he may not be able to think of the potential value of those shared bicycles, nor may he be able to manage them well!"
Liu Yudong gently put down his cigarette. He only smoked half of this one before stubbing it out. "This project is a good project, but the team may not be a good team. But no matter what, I did make a mistake. Haha, I didn't expect it.
I, Liu Yudong, even make mistakes sometimes."
Zhou Wenyu didn't dare to answer the question. When the leader talked about his shortcomings, he wasn't really talking about his own problems. It would be stupid for his subordinates to just reply with a stupid "Yes."
Liu Yudong thought for a while, "Call Xiang Yuliang and say...forget it. Once you get through, just call me and I'll talk to him."
Zhou Wenyu was shocked. Xiang Yuliang is the president of Wansheng Capital, a subsidiary of Wansheng. It seems that Director Liu is indeed interested in Jiang Chao's project.
The call is connected.
Liu Yudong picked up the phone: "It's me."
Xiang Yuliang on the other end of the phone was shocked: "Chairman! How can you..."
Liu Yudong interrupted him: "The big project you invested in last year has been a bit of a problem recently."
Xiang Yuliang was suddenly shocked and quickly defended: "Director Liu...there was indeed a mistake in that project, but it is not without room for improvement..."
Liu Yudong's tone was a little cold: "I don't want to hear your explanation. You know, I am a consequentialist person."
Xiang Yu felt bitter in his conscience: "Yes...yes..."
Liu Yudong's tone slowed down slightly: "I put the burden on your shoulders, you know why. You were promoted by me, and you are in such an important position at Wansheng Capital. The guys on the board of directors have been waiting to see me.
It’s a joke, only if you handle things well can I have the ability to talk.”
Xiang Yuliang gritted his teeth: "Chairman, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to solve this mess!"
Liu Yudong was noncommittal: "I believe in your ability. However, it's not enough to just solve the problems of that project... You also need to develop new business!"
Xiang Yu's conscience became even more bitter. The mess had already made him exhausted. How could he still have the energy to find good projects?
Liu Yudong smiled: "It seems that you have been very busy recently and don't even have time to watch TV. Let me show you a clear path. You go and watch this afternoon's program of Donghai TV's "East China Sea Focus"."
Xiang Yuliang was stunned and said quickly: "I'll go take a look right now!"
Liu Yudong thought for a while and added: "Don't tell outsiders that I made you watch TV."
"Yes Yes!"
After saying that, Liu Yudong hung up the phone.
Liu Yudong's last words were just because he rejected Jiang Chao and immediately asked his subordinates to invest. This was really a shameless thing to spread.
But Xiang Yuliang misunderstood.
On the other end of the phone, Xiang Yuliang hung up the phone, thought carefully about Xiang Yuliang's last words, and patted his head: "Yes, I am deeply involved in that project now. If even the new project is directed by Director Liu
Didn’t that give the guy surnamed Zhao a pretext that I’m useless? Ah, Director Liu is protecting me!”
Thinking of this, Xiang Yuliang couldn't help but feel moved, and secretly vowed that he would never let Chairman Liu down! Thinking of this, Xiang Yuliang quickly turned on the TV and used the TV playback function to search for the program Liu Yudong was talking about.
Half an hour later, Xiang Yuliang sat in front of the TV and was speechless for a long time. Then he lit a cigarette for himself and took two strong puffs while he was thinking.
Xiang Yuliang, like Liu Yudong, was born in the countryside. In Wansheng Group, which is full of Ph.D.s, his ability to reach his current position with a bachelor's degree is inseparable from Liu Yudong's promotion and his own efforts and abilities.
In just one visit, Xiang Yuliang had already discovered the huge value behind this project. He couldn't help but feel even more grateful to Liu Yudong. If this project was completed, it might really be able to reverse the unfavorable situation caused by the previous project!
I am definitely not the only one with a vision. Xiang Yuliang soon realized that he had to be fast! He had to run forward! Thinking of this, Xiang Yuliang immediately called his investment director.
"Mr. Xiang, what's the matter?" A very nice female voice came from the other end of the phone.
Chapter completed!
