Zhou Dongsheng's sonorous and powerful words seemed to have the effect of lingering in this office for three days.
Xu Kaidao felt that he seemed to understand, but he did not fully understand, so he could only ask tentatively.
"I understand boss, so the next direction we have to work hard is to tailor live content around the anchor..."
Zhou Dongsheng shook his head again, "You still don't understand, what were we talking about in the first place?"
"The first thing we talked about was the first time we met..." Xu Kaidao muttered.
"The mobile Internet is the future, so the future of the Internet celebrity economy is naturally also the mobile Internet, even live broadcasts are no exception."
Zhou Dongsheng didn’t give in, and simply answered to himself: “So, if we want to create content, it should naturally revolve around the mobile Internet. Compared with live broadcast platforms, I am more optimistic about the content output of short videos.
platform."
"Short video? Is it the muse short video we promoted some time ago?" Xu Kaidao followed Zhou Dongsheng's words and said.
"Yes, short videos, a vertical screen video genre, have the advantage of focusing on portraits to output social content, which naturally makes them more suitable for the development of the Internet celebrity economy!"
"This is also the main reason why I invested in muse short video. I see the future of the internet celebrity economy based on this model, so we, Little Man Media, naturally have to make arrangements in advance and start the development of short video content."
"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Just as when we signed several leading anchors, the live broadcast industry had not really taken off yet..."
Having said this, Zhou Dongsheng leaned back on the boss's chair with a tactic. What does it mean to have a forward-looking vision?
Xu Kaidao also came to his senses immediately, and even had the urge to slap himself on the forehead.
Why do you think so much about it? Just follow the boss's wishes and that's it.
The direction the boss’s fingertips point to is my unchanging faith in this life!
"It is true that I cannot learn the boss's discerning ability, but I know what the boss means. Next, I will adjust the company's strategy and try to work hard to produce short video content. I will definitely live up to the boss's expectations...
"
Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "I won't go into too many details. Let's organize a meeting to brainstorm. In the next period of time, I will also join in the short video content creation. Even if there are too many
Let’s try a content direction.”
Xu Kaidao was shocked. When the live broadcast platform became popular, he didn't see Zhou Dongsheng's intention to start a live broadcast. Why did he pay so much attention to the short video aspect?
"It seems that the boss is really optimistic about the future of short videos and is ready to lead by example. Then I will organize a meeting and ask the boss to talk about it carefully..."
Xu Kaidao stood up and walked out, preparing to organize a meeting. Ever since Zhou Dongsheng turned his back on the shopkeeper and became an addict, he had not participated in company meetings for a long time.
This was the first time in several months, so Xu Kaidao naturally had to organize it seriously.
As soon as Xu Kaidao walked out of the office, Zhou Dongsheng's cell phone rang.
When he picked it up and saw that it was a call from Lu Sifang, Zhou Dongsheng knew that it was probably a shared bicycle project.
I wonder if Lu Sifang won ofo or Mobai? Zhou Dongsheng thought with some anticipation.
In Zhou Dongsheng's limited knowledge, in terms of return on investment during this time period, there are very few projects that can be compared with shared bicycles, so it is perfect for short-term gains.
After all, in less than a year or two, this investment may bring Zhou Dongsheng a hundredfold return on investment...
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng answered the phone, and Lu Sifang's excited voice came from the other end.
"Boss, fortunately, I have been able to negotiate both projects. We, Dongsheng Investment, will exclusively lead the Series A round."
When Zhou Dongsheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile brightly. He thought it would be enough to win one of the two projects, but he didn't expect it to be a double-yolked egg.
"Well done, Lao Lu. When you return to Yangcheng, I will personally host a celebration banquet for you to cleanse you from the dust." Zhou Dongsheng was in a good mood.
"No, no, I don't dare to take credit. After all, these two investment targets were set by the boss. I'm just doing the best for the boss."
"And the two investment talks went much smoother than I imagined. I just copied the concept of the sharing economy mentioned by the boss. Once I talked to the two founders, they were immediately impressed by the boss's wisdom.
"
“In this Series A round of financing, we exclusively led the investment at a price of US$2 million and obtained 30% of the shares...”
Lu Sifang talked eloquently and gave Zhou Dongsheng a brief report on the status of the two projects.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh, it's so cheap! It's just cabbage price.
When the spring breeze of the first mobile year blows and everything revives, shared bicycles will be one of the things that mushroom like bamboo shoots after a rain.
As the old saying goes, "You can't live without bamboo, and you can't eat without bamboo shoots."
Although bamboo also has its wonderful uses, for those who are quick to talk, spring bamboo shoots are naturally more delicious.
The same is true for investment. Investing in a project does not mean that you are bound to the fate of the project. You must live and die together, and you must wait until the company is listed.
Even entrepreneurs may not always follow through, let alone investment. In the subsequent financing rounds of the project, early investors have the opportunity to make flexible choices and realize cash in advance.
The premise is that the project is not tainted and there will be a next round of financing. After all, most entrepreneurial projects often fall under the so-called curse of "life in round A, death in round B, and life in round C is worse than death."
Those who can survive to the end are often the only ones who can succeed in starting a business. Only those who are outstanding in entrepreneurship can succeed.
This is Zhou Dongsheng's positioning of the shared bicycle project. He wants to make short-term profits and cash out at a high position. Even if the shared bicycle ends up in a mess, it has nothing to do with him.
Making money is not shabby.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng smiled and said: "Okay, give me a detailed report when you come back. Once the matter is done, if nothing happens, you can stay in the capital for two days, and the company will reimburse you for the expenses..."
Since Lu Sifang completed the task beyond expectations, Zhou Dongsheng would not be stingy and would naturally reward him well. It was a rare trip to the capital, so he had to take a good stroll, right?
"Thank you boss! Yesterday, I rewarded these guys and took them to try the most authentic Beijing roast duck in Sijiu City. Maybe I had too high expectations for the 'best dish in China', and I felt that the taste was not good.
Delicious as imagined..."
Lu Sifang said with a smile.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but laugh. After all, this "food desert" has been known as a "food desert" for a long time. There is no delicious food in Sijiu City. Everyone has a shovel, and it's all authentic.
Thinking of this authentic idea, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration in his mind. Doesn't the content of this short video already exist?
