Chapter two hundred and ninety sixth heaven and earth undecided
People only know how to cherish when they lose something, and obviously not everyone has the opportunity to experience the joy of regaining something.
Looking at the beautiful scenery of the Huangpu River and the Bund outside the hotel, Zhou Dongsheng happily sweated on the treadmill.
Lu Sifang, on the other hand, acted as an audience and waited thoughtfully with a towel in his hand. He truly followed his words to the end, saying that the work of a dog and a horse is the work of a dog and a horse, and there is no ambiguity.
After a while, Zhou Dongsheng panted slightly and stopped. Lu Sifang immediately came up to him. Zhou Dongsheng took the towel and wiped it, then smiled and said: "I'll take a bath first, and I'll have breakfast later."
chat."
"Hello, boss, let's go to the restaurant to wait for you first." Lu Sifang said with a smile.
Zhou Dongsheng nodded, and he and Li Jiana went to wash up before arriving at the restaurant. By this time, Lu Sifang had already found a seat and waved to them.
"Boss, I'm going to order." Li Jiana said thoughtfully. As an assistant, she already knows the boss's taste preferences.
After arriving and sitting down, Zhou Dongsheng said leisurely and contentedly: "It's a good short video project this time. Tell me what you think."
Although Zhou Dongsheng only knew a piece of the information, through the data and information investigated by Lu Sifang, this piece of information could be slightly expanded.
Even if they cannot know the whole picture, it is enough to take a certain initiative. After all, as investors, this initiative is originally in their hands.
Upon hearing the boss's affirmation, Lu Sifang became energetic and began to introduce the information he had learned.
"Boss, this Wenxue Network Company is located in Shanghai. It is a standard small and beautiful company. The entire team only has a few dozen people, but one of its short video software is very famous overseas!"
"The name of the software is not well-known compared to domestic competing products such as Kuaishou and Xiaokaxiu. It has very little domestic user traffic. However, overseas, it has topped the Apple App Store in July.
, popular in Europe and America!”
"This time it is seeking financing, this company is preparing to take this opportunity to continue to implement its overseas strategy, seize this opportunity to continue rapid expansion, and establish its own user base in Europe and the United States..."
Lu Sifang briefly explained his understanding of this company. A common problem faced by most domestic Internet companies is how to go overseas and overcome the difficulties in Europe and the United States.
Whether it is the cultural differences between China and the West, or historical issues such as cultural invasion, when relevant European and American companies enter our domestic fields, they always have smooth access and gain a lot.
Even many overseas companies have mediocre development in their own country, but after entering the Chinese market, they can easily turn around and make a lot of money while coming back to life.
It is easy for overseas companies to come in, but it is extremely difficult for local companies to export. Whether it is film and television culture or other things, this has also become a worry for many companies.
Unexpectedly, this commonplace problem has been easily solved by such a small and beautiful company. This is also the confidence of Wenxue Network’s financing.
However, this financing was not smooth. After all, there are only two or three big cats in the domestic short video industry, and it is still in a confusing stage.
In particular, even Internet giant Tenda has chosen to fail and seek investment in top fast players. Judging from Tenda’s attitude, the short video industry seems to have entered the winner-takes-all “eighth-eighth law” stage.
Tenda's strategic decisions still have important reference value in the investment community, so many capitals are already in a wait-and-see stage for the short video industry.
Compared with the live broadcast field next door, which is in full swing and where countless capitals are pouring in, the short video industry seems to have been abandoned by capital and has been relegated to the "cold palace".
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Wenxue Network chose the overseas strategy, and unexpectedly opened up the situation in overseas markets, achieving many achievements that ordinary Internet companies can only dream of.
In this regard, Wenxue Network also wants to pursue the victory and is ambitious to continue to accelerate the pace of occupying overseas markets. After all, compared with the fiercely competitive domestic short video industry, the overseas market is vast and has great potential.
Unfortunately, under the domestic capital trend, financing did not go smoothly.
Even Kingsoft Cheetah, which invested US$5 million in Series A, has an ambiguous attitude.
On the contrary, overseas capital is very interested and has shown strong investment interest in this software. After all, this is a short video platform rooted in the European and American markets.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a company called "Dongsheng Investment" came to the door, also showing a very strong interest in investment, and even wanted to monopolize the Series B financing.
This also surprised Yang Luyu, the founder of Wenxue Network, and he quickly investigated the background of this investment company.
You wouldn’t know if you didn’t check it, but you were shocked when you checked it. You thought it was just a small and unknown capital company, but you didn’t expect that there were shadows of big guys behind it.
Just an investment project in Dream Technology involves Duan Yongping, Ding Sanshi and many other big names who are on the bright side.
It has not been established for a long time, and it often invests in large projects worth more than ten million US dollars. Even if it is not as good as the capital giants in the investment industry, it is obviously not a small capital.
At least, for his small company, it is already considered a capital tycoon-level existence.
This also made Yang Luyu not dare to neglect, and rushed to the company early in the morning to prepare in advance and wait for the arrival.
In the hotel restaurant, Zhou Dongsheng finished his breakfast slowly, and through the information conveyed by Lu Sifang, he roughly improved the information he knew in his mind.
After comparing the two, Zhou Dongsheng already had an idea in his mind. Compared with the "untimely" Tenda series of short videos, this Wenxue Network company has indeed made great achievements in developing overseas markets.
Effectiveness.
And it once set off a short video craze overseas. However, unfortunately, when Wenxue Network was satisfied with its ambitions, it was ready to return home in glory, return to its hometown in glory, and redevelop the domestic market...
A software that is very similar to them has become like a rising overlord, taking advantage of the explosion of mobile Internet to completely dominate the domestic short video industry.
He even launched an overseas strategy ambitiously, and met Wenxue Network head-on when he returned to his hometown.
Li Kui met Li Gui. It’s hard to say who is real and who is fake. However, Toutiao Department’s strong capital strength and foundation are unmatched by Wenxue Network.
Finally, Toutiao Department offered a figure that Wenxue Network could not refuse. According to rumors, it was as high as one billion U.S. dollars!
Then it directly acquired the overseas markets that it had worked hard for many years, realizing Toutiao’s dream of unifying the short video industry at home and abroad, and even developed to the point where even the lighthouse countries of the United States need to pay attention.
As for who is Li Kui and who is Li Gui, the Rashomon family is already a family, so naturally there is no need to pursue it further.
The news that "Li Gui acquired Li Kui" once caused a lot of heated discussion on the Internet. Zhou Dongsheng also happened to read it at the meeting, so he had some impressions.
However, at this time of uncertainty, it is naturally Zhou Dongsheng's opportunity to perform.
