Chen Xiao immediately asked the technical staff to launch chat rooms similar to Rose Date, Midnight Whisper, etc., using some seductive language to attract user activity.
…
After Liu Kewen documented the negotiations with Chen Xiao at noon, he reported it to the Yanjing headquarters.
IDG headquarters is analyzing the content of this negotiation.
If the market performance of the 11181 website is determined by Changtian Technology, then the casual chat application that Chen Xiao suddenly came up with is the variable.
IDG contacted the headquarters to urgently analyze the future market impact of SuiChat software.
Especially since Penguin software already exists, whether SuiChat can seize Penguin's market is a big question.
Finally, professional analysis believes that there is some overlap between the market group targeted by Suichao and Penguin's market group, but they are not completely overlapping, and there is still a certain degree of differentiation.
Market analysts and technicians began to discuss the situation of casual chat.
However, everyone feels that the most important thing when working with Chen Xiao is 11181, and the company should not be interfered with by other things.
"Voice chat room? We don't know if there is a market for this thing in Xia Country. I personally recommend being cautious."
"We are interested in the potential of the 11181 website, rather than investing in SuiChat Voice. This product has just been launched on the market, and we don't know the market's reaction, so if we increase our investment because of SuiChat, or in negotiations
Making some concessions is very detrimental to us."
"My personal suggestion is to negotiate with Chen Xiao according to the original plan. After all, the premise of the 11181 website can be seen. By investing in the 11181 website, we will definitely gain very generous profits."
Liu Kewen is the vice president of IDG Xia Guo District and is also responsible for marketing and investment. This time he personally negotiated with Chen Xiao, which proves the importance he attaches to the 11181 website.
The president of IDG Xia Guo District, Li Yukai, a Chinese American, is presiding over this discussion. He has watched the growth process of the 11181 website in detail and feels that its founder Chen Xiao is really a legend.
Moreover, Li Yukai also obtained other information about Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao actually invested in the MP3 project across industries.
This young man is indeed a bit "crazy".
At this moment, Li Yukai's assistant ran over with the information.
Li Yukai looked unhappy and said to his assistant: "I have told you so many times not to come in casually during the meeting. If you have anything to do, we will discuss it after the meeting."
The assistant looked embarrassed, but he still insisted on handing the document in front of Li Yukai.
The assistant said: "This is some data about the 11181 website that I just got from the marketing department. Last night, the 11181 website launched a chat software called Suichao in the name of the website, and cooperated with Shengda to make the software a
The main chat room for Legend Games.”
"In just one night, the number of downloads of the free chat software reached more than 5,000, and there were more than 2,000 active people online at the same time. Most of the scenarios where the software is used are in games."
"The total number of downloads should have exceeded 20,000 now, and we have not yet grasped the number of active users..."
"The marketing department just conducted a user analysis and found that the overlap between the number of users of legendary players and chat software is very high."
In less than a day, the number of downloads reached 20,000.
This data is still very dazzling.
Li Yukai immediately stopped the meeting and looked at the information provided by his assistant.
The casual chat software currently has an advantage and a disadvantage.
The advantage is that it has a very high degree of adhesion with Legend, which is one of the hottest games at the moment.
That is to say, if you are a legendary player, you are likely to become a user of SuiChat. This means that SuiChat will be promoted very quickly in the early stage and will soon become a must-have voice for these gamers.
chatting software.
But the disadvantage is that there is an upper limit on the number of legendary users. The highest active number so far is about 600,000, and the total number of players is only about 2 million.
But then Li Yukai rejected his idea.
The universalization of online games is a trend, and Legend is just the beginning. There will definitely be more popular games in the Xia continent market in the future.
As long as online games exist, social attributes will exist.
Humans are social animals. A player who plays online games may be taciturn and introverted in real life. This does not mean that he does not like to socialize, but that he does not have the ability or method to socialize in real life.
But in the game, he can gain a sense of accomplishment, and social interaction can also allow him to share this sense of accomplishment.
Therefore, SuiChat, a chat software, will definitely have greater development prospects.
Li Yukai thought that if IDG invested more in Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao could improve the related functions of SuiChat and increase the promotion of SuiChat.
SuiChat is likely to share the entire social market equally with Penguin, maximizing its profit contribution to IDG.
Li Yukai immediately asked: "What are the conditions proposed by Chen Xiao?"
The assistant said: "With RMB 3 million, IDG holds 15% of the shares of the 11181 website. In addition, Zodiac will borrow 20 million RMB from IDG in his own name, with interest calculated based on bank loan interest during the same period, and it will be repaid within two years.
"
Li Yukai fell into silence.
The number of shares has been reduced by half, and a loan of 20 million yuan has to be paid.
If someone else proposed this condition, Li Yukai would refuse it immediately without even thinking about it.
But this condition was proposed by Chen Xiao.
There is an unwritten rule within IDG that when investing in companies, you must also invest in individuals.
Sometimes the profits from investing in individuals are much greater than investing in companies.
Investing in Chen Xiao is not just investing in Chen Xiao’s company, but investing in Chen Xiao as a person.
Whether a start-up company will succeed in the future has a lot to do with its founders.
Chen Xiao has already demonstrated his business talent and technological talent, so will there be such a miracle in the future?
Based on his keen business judgment, Li Yukai decided to make a decision and continue to negotiate and cooperate with Chen Xiao.
But he still wants to strive for the greatest benefit.
Li Yukai said: "At the same time, we will invest 3 million yuan in the 11181 website and the SuiChat application. We want to hold 20% of the shares."
Then Li Yukai said with a smile: "There is really no way to negotiate, and there is no problem with 15% of the shares."
In fact, with this last sentence, Li Yukai basically made his decision and agreed to Chen Xiao's proposal.
The news was quickly fed back to Liu Kewen, who also got the data from the SuiChat software for one night.
He smiled bitterly, not expecting that Chen Xiao would use this trick to increase his trump card.
