The Modu Technology Branch of Modu was holding a regular meeting at this time, and Hu Weiwei was sitting at the top listening to the reports of his subordinates.
"Mr. Hu, the total number of bicycles we have successfully put into the Magic City society has exceeded 10,000. Currently, demand exceeds supply in the urban area. Basically, nearly 70% of the bicycles can operate at full load for more than 12 hours around the clock.
state……"
"Although the cumulative number of users on our platform has successfully exceeded one million, it is worth mentioning that the current number of user deposits on the platform is basically maintained at around 100,000, and the ratio is well above 10:1..."
Hu Weiwei pondered for a while and said: "It seems that we have not done a good enough job in building user trust. If we can increase the ratio to 2:1, then the cash flow we have in hand will be a great weapon for us...
…”
Although the deposit of 100,000 people has brought the deposit on the company's books to nearly 30 million, such a large amount of cash flow is already a sum of money that cannot be underestimated for most companies.
Even with this amount of funds, it is enough for Mobike to achieve self-sufficient operations in the short term. There will definitely be no problem at least taking root in this three-thirds of an acre of land in Shanghai.
But as the saying goes, the stage is as big as the heart. For Hu Weiwei, a project like shared bicycles is obviously impossible to be limited to one city.
Even the Oriental Pearl of the Magic City is not enough to satisfy Hu Weiwei's appetite. The nature of shared bicycles dictates that this project can only survive if it keeps running, growing in scale, and staying at the forefront of the industry.
If the coverage is not wide enough, what is the essential difference from the original city bicycles?
Mobike obviously does not want to be a public facility limited to one place, but to become a public transportation tool that can be spread all over the country like buses and subways...
Listening to Hu Weiwei's eloquent talk, the subordinates below smiled sarcastically, "It always takes a long time to build user trust. We benefited from the influence of the top Internet celebrities brought by [Papi Jiang].
We got off to a good start..."
"Looking at it this way, maybe we can continue this cooperation method and find more people to endorse our products. In this way, user trust will naturally be greatly improved..."
Listening to you is better than reading. Such a simple and crude truth is like nonsense. No one here understands the truth, but who can play the role of credit endorsement?
Zhou Dongsheng is obviously one, and relying on the positive image of starting from scratch on the Internet is enough to have a certain degree of persuasion among users.
However, in terms of credit endorsement, the role Zhou Dongsheng can play is not much different from that of [Papi Jiang], that is, the time to become famous is too short, and the user base is slightly weak.
Even though she is somewhat famous on the Internet, when it comes to the public base, she is far behind compared to ordinary celebrities.
This is just like the fact that no matter how strong the financial resources of a private bank are, no matter how much veteran capital is behind it, it cannot be compared with the four major banks.
"Perhaps we can consider inviting an established celebrity to endorse the product?" Someone from the subordinates put forward a quite satisfactory suggestion.
Hu Weiwei shook his head, "We are still in the initial stage of entrepreneurship. Every penny should be spent wisely to maximize the effect. At present, our first priority is to continue to develop the next generation of Mobike to further reduce costs...
"
"Even though the deposit is such a large amount of money in the company's books, with a large amount of cash flow as a guarantee, we feel that we are on the right track. In the final analysis, this is not our money and cannot be misappropriated without authorization. Once a large-scale withdrawal occurs by users,
With no money available, the credit we have finally built will completely collapse..."
"Once credit collapses, it will completely cease to exist, and there will no longer be a chance to re-establish it!" Hu Weiwei said very seriously.
Obviously, this kind of red line involving life and death should be emphasized repeatedly in the early stages of starting a business. Only by continuously deepening this concept within the company can it have the effect of preparing for a rainy day.
From this point of view, Hu Weiwei is obviously a qualified entrepreneur. It is no wonder that Mobike was able to retain the last dignity after the trend faded, instead of becoming the naked swimmer in the public eye.
"Pah~pah~" A burst of crisp applause suddenly sounded. Everyone looked up and saw Zhou Dongsheng standing upright at the door of the conference room. In addition to a female assistant with extraordinary temperament, there was also a female assistant standing next to him.
A slightly restrained girl at the front desk.
"Well said, it is commendable that Mr. Hu has this realization. After all, not everyone can maintain such a rational attitude in the face of the joy of success..." Zhou Dongsheng's heartfelt appreciation was beyond words.
Although even a pig can take off as long as it stands on the forefront of the industry, in the end, the success or failure of an entrepreneurial project still depends on the leader.
Especially when the industry trend fades and reaches the stage of bayonet fighting, that's when competitors will see the real deal.
To put it simply, anyone can play the downwind round, but the headwind round is the watershed that best reflects the difference in level.
"What kind of wind has brought this distinguished guest, Mr. Zhou, here? Today's meeting will end here. Mr. Zhou, let's move to the office to chat..." Hu Weiwei casually explained a few words to his subordinates, then showed a big smile to Zhou Dongsheng,
He greeted warmly.
Even though the age difference between the two is as much as ten years, Hu Weiwei does not dare to be negligent at all. After all, the capital market does not look at age, but at capital.
"Hey, no need, Mr. Hu, I just listened to the topics discussed in your meeting at the door for a while, and the good news I brought can solve this problem!"
Zhou Dongsheng said confidently, as the saying goes, it is better to come early than to come by chance, but he did not expect that he came at the right time.
"Oh? Mr. Zhou, please speak!" Hu Weiwei looked overjoyed and looked at Zhou Dongsheng expectantly. Others in the conference room couldn't help but follow the sound and pricked up their ears to listen.
"Mr. Ding from the pig factory is very interested in our project. I came here this time just to take Mr. Hu with me to Hangzhou to visit Mr. Ding in person..."
"If everything goes well, having a pig factory as a credit endorsement should be enough to solve the urgent need, right? Although it is a bit worse than Alibaba and Tenda..."
Zhou Dongsheng said calmly, but sooner or later these two carriages will race on the shared bicycle track.
However, the Pig Factory, which was originally not relevant to the field of shared bicycles, has stepped in by accident under its own subtle influence, and may even be able to slightly influence the industry structure...
A subtle desire for control arose spontaneously, making Zhou Dongsheng feel an indescribable pleasure in his heart.
Facing Zhou Dongsheng's Versailles words, both Hu Weiwei and all the subordinates in the office were stunned.
As a well-deserved top boss in the Internet field, why does Pig Factory seem so "insignificant" in Zhou Dongsheng's words?
Even the employees in the office who met Zhou Dongsheng as an investor for the first time could not help but feel admiration for this young man.
As for Hu Weiwei, she once again felt Zhou Dongsheng's unfathomable connections and strength.
"Mr. Zhou was just joking. I am extremely grateful for being able to gain the attention of the pig factory. I have to thank Mr. Zhou again. If it weren't for Mr. Zhou, the pig factory would not have noticed us..."
"President Zhou is no less than a reborn parent to us at Mobai Technology!" Hu Weiwei suddenly brought out all the sensibilities he had as a journalist, which made Zhou Dongsheng feel overwhelmed and waved his hands repeatedly.
"No, no, as investors, Mr. Hu and I must have the same original intention. We both want to make Mobai Technology bigger and stronger, so Mr. Hu doesn't need to say much, as long as you can always uphold this valuable
Carrying forward this career with my original intention is the greatest reward for me..."
Zhou Dongsheng skillfully used the trick of deception, and now the words in this scene are becoming more and more tactful, making Hu Weiwei feel like she is not dealing with a young man in his early twenties.
More like a successful veteran like Li Bin, from this point of view, Zhou Dongsheng also belongs to the small group of people who are "gifted" in terms of business talent.
After all, rounding off is equivalent to Zhou Dongsheng missing twenty years of detours.
"Since I want to visit Mr. Ding in person, I have to prepare some gifts..." Hu Weiwei immediately became serious. When dealing with the boss, there should be no loss of etiquette.
Zhou Dongsheng scratched his head. He seemed to have never thought about giving gifts. However, compared with these etiquette things, the gifts Zhou Dongsheng gave were all real money and silver gifts.
Therefore, it is not considered rude, not to mention being rude is the privilege of young people. Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng immediately felt no psychological burden.
"Okay, Mr. Hu, please get ready. If we go there directly, we can still make it in time for dinner. Maybe you will have a chance to taste the pork raised by Mr. Ding..." Zhou Dongsheng teased in a teasing tone.
Hu Weiwei couldn't help but look happy. Being able to eat pork raised by Ding Sanshi was an extremely scarce social currency whether in the Internet field or the capital field.
After all, before it was officially launched on the market, except for a small amount of supply in the canteen inside the pig factory, there were almost very few on the market. Only the famous Wuzhen Dinner and Ding Sanshi's Banquet had it.
Just like the Manchu-Han banquet in ancient times, as a nation that has "food is the first priority" engraved in its bones, many delicacies from ancient times to the present have become more legendary because they are linked to status.
There are so many delicacies such as Zongzi and Feizixiao that any delicacy that doesn’t bear the name of a famous person would be embarrassed to say hello to others in the food world.
Therefore, all-purpose names such as Qianlong's Journey to the South of the Yangtze River came into being... I have to say that we are serious about our attitude towards food!
Ahem, let's get back to the business. After taking Hu Weiwei with us, the group headed straight to Hangzhou. The drive took less than 2 hours, which was just a matter of stepping on the accelerator.
Under the familiar guidance of Zhou Dongsheng, the group soon arrived at a villa area that was like a garden in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Naturally, Ding Sanshi was waiting for work at his own home for a long time.
"Brother Ding, I brought you the man, and you will leave the rest to yourselves." Zhou Dongsheng slumped to the side, very bachelor, sipping Ding Sanshi's valuable tea, and leisurely watching the play.
Ding Sanshi laughed dumbly, but he was not annoyed at all. Instead, he politely asked Hu Weiwei to sit down, and chatted with Hu Weiwei with ease.
Hu Weiwei had a panoramic view of this scene and had a deeper understanding of the relationship between Zhou Dongsheng and Ding Sanshi. No wonder he was able to attend the Wuzhen dinner... It turned out that he had a close friendship with Mr. Ding.
Regarding this, Hu Weiwei could only feel envious. She did not dare to be presumptuous in front of a big boss like Ding Sanshi and sit upright to answer Ding Sanshi's questions.
As a big boss in the industry, Ding Sanshi is well-known for his good rapport. He is really good at being friendly. After a conversation, Hu Weiwei's tense nerves calmed down, and the atmosphere at the table became much more harmonious.
Before they could talk about anything practical, Ding Sanshi glanced at the time and smiled heartily, "It's just time to eat. I've prepared some home-cooked meals here. Let's chat while eating..."
"Finally, dinner is ready. I was waiting impatiently on the side. Isn't it just for the food that I came all the way?" Zhou Dongsheng stood up and stretched, and said impatiently.
"I think the pork I raised hasn't been put on the market yet, so I'm afraid it won't be enough for you to eat!" Ding Sanshi scolded with a smile.
While everyone was chatting and laughing, everyone took their seats. Ding Sanshi took out a bottle of Maotai and called to Hu Weiwei: "Mr. Hu, have a drink? You can't have a drink with Dongsheng, a young man who doesn't understand humor..."
"No problem, then I'll have a drink with Mr. Hu!" Hu Weiwei agreed very generously. As a strong working woman in her thirties, her drinking capacity is also good.
After all, being able to build a salon in that part of the capital as a way to build up a network of contacts, Hu Weiwei was able to get both ways, and was a good dancer. He couldn't do it even if he didn't have the capacity to drink.
After three rounds of wine and a full meal, the matter naturally became more logical to talk about. Ding Sanshi's face turned red and he spoke more directly.
"I originally learned about this project more out of recognition of Dongsheng's vision. After all, this guy does have some talent in this area. After today's conversation with Mr. Hu, I have learned about this project.
potential……"
"I won this Series B financing!" Ding Sanshi said proudly.
Hu Weiwei immediately said nothing, picked up a full glass of white wine and stood up, "Thank you, Mr. Ding, I'll drink this glass first as a token of respect!" After saying that, he raised his head, as bold as a hero among women.
"Thank you to Dongsheng." Ding Sanshi said meaningfully, and then took a sip.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for this glass!" Hu Weiwei immediately poured another glass and drank another glass without saying a word, not sloppily at all.
"Hey, no matter how good the wine is, it's not how you drink it. Just drinking wine without eating vegetables is not enough. The days are long, and there are many opportunities to drink..." Zhou Dongsheng smiled and smoothed things over.
But I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, how can I be so worthy of being appreciated by the elder? I originally thought of reciprocating the favor, but I didn't expect that this favor was like a snowball, which seemed to snowball.
Zhou Dongsheng simply lay down, what else could he pay in return? It would be hard to tell who owed whom in time!
