Although Huang Zheng is well-known as a hard worker, and now Pin Xixi has entered the track of rapid development and has countless things to be busy with.
The birth of each data milestone seems to be an understatement, but it is unknown how many people's hard work and efforts are behind it.
And under the leadership of Huang Zheng, a desperate man, the entire trend of dream-seeking technology has already begun to move in the direction of racing against time.
If you want to complete the accumulation of other e-commerce giants over several years or even more than ten years in a shorter period of time, in addition to the factors of the right time and place, you will naturally need to pay twice as much "people and people".
But even so, after receiving Zhou Dongsheng's invitation, Huang Zheng still chose to attend the appointment happily.
After all, to this day, the two of them can be said to be keeping pace with each other on their respective paths. Each has reached its current height step by step, and neither of them has stood still.
Of course, Zhou Dongsheng is now a little ahead in terms of height, but Pin Xixi's business model has been perfected, which is enough for Huang Zheng to be confident, and it is only a matter of time before he catches up with Zhou Dongsheng.
What's more, Zhou Dongsheng has made a lot of noise recently, and Huang Zheng also wanted to catch up with Zhou Dongsheng in person.
To put it bluntly, even if you are a desperate person, you still have to eat, right? You can handle it when you are alone.
But since someone wants to treat someone, it would be disrespectful to refuse. Huang Zheng is extremely skilled at this, and has succeeded many times so far.
It doesn't matter if you have money or not, I just enjoy the fun of having a meal, and you can't do it alone, so I also called my right-hand man Gu Pinpin.
Gu Pinpin originally thought it was an ordinary business dinner, so she subconsciously wanted to refuse. After all, she had never liked to appear in public, and she preferred to hide behind the scenes.
Therefore, to this day, although Pin Xixi has shown its talents, few people know that there is a crucial Gu Pinpin in Pin Xixi's management structure.
The public's attention is also focused on Huang Zheng, the helmsman.
However, after hearing that it was Zhou Dongsheng's invitation, Gu Pinpin accepted the invitation. As Huang Zheng's junior sister, the person Gu Pinpin admired the most was Huang Zheng.
This is also the reason why she is willing to follow him. Even after Huang Zheng fell ill and left the front line for a while, she still persisted in guarding the company's foundation and laid a solid foundation.
Even Pin Xixi's success today is also inseparable from Gu Pinpin's management.
However, the appearance of Zhou Dongsheng made her understand that there is always a mountain high.
Just as it is said that a fair lady is a gentleman, by the same token, a dazzling figure like Zhou Dongsheng naturally has a different attraction to ordinary people.
This kind of attraction does not necessarily have to be a relationship between a man and a woman, it can also be a simple admiration and desire to be friends with someone.
After all, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. People like Zhou Dongsheng are undoubtedly strong men in society, so it is natural to want to be close to others.
Gu Pinpin naturally thought, at least that's how she explained it to herself in her heart.
Huang Zheng knew this well and didn't say much. After all, he didn't want his right-hand man to be inexplicably abducted by Zhou Dongsheng...
So, just let nature take its course, not to mention that someone like Zhou Dongsheng, who became famous at a young age, is obviously even less likely to stick to the emotional rules.
Especially after getting along for a while, Zhou Dongsheng's temperament of neither smoking nor drinking seems to be Buddhist, but according to the law of conservation of desire...
It is enough to prove that Zhou Dongsheng will definitely pour his desire into a certain aspect. As for this answer, it is naturally self-evident...
As a man, you have to be exposed to pornography, gambling and drugs, right? (Funny)
Now that Zhou Dongsheng has become famous in the investment community, the answer is naturally... Zhou Dongsheng is a gambler!
Ahem, back to the topic, Zhou Dongsheng made an appointment at his usual place, in a private room of a riverside restaurant.
Naturally, he and Xu Yangtian arrived first, and Huang Zheng and Gu Pingpin, who were also in the Magic City, did not let them wait for long, and entered the box after a while.
"Chou, ah, chow, after seeing each other for three days, you really have to treat me with admiration. He looks a bit different now~" Huang Zheng laughed and gave Zhou Dongsheng a hug, not forgetting to add a sarcastic note.
.
"Brother Huang, please stop teasing me. I had a phone call with Mr. Duan a few days ago, and he asked me to learn from you..."
Zhou Dongsheng smiled and hugged Huang Zheng, exchanging familiar greetings without appearing unfamiliar at all.
"The teacher told you the same thing. It seems that the teacher is really equal to a bowl of water..." Huang Zheng jokingly joked with Zhou Dongsheng, while looking at Xu Yangtian who was as lean as a monkey beside him.
"I knew that your boy must have something to do with me. I am here to introduce a friend. Hello, I am Huang Zheng." Huang Zheng was very considerate and took the initiative to extend his hand to say hello to Xu Yangtian.
"Hello, I have long known Mr. Huang, I am Xu Yangtian." Xu Yangtian shook hands with him with a smile.
"Hey, Mr. Xu's name is quite domineering. He laughed up at the sky and went out. How can I be a Penghao person!" Huang Zheng muttered something and said in wonder.
"Hey, you intellectuals speak differently, so don't show off in front of someone like me who slipped through the compulsory education net. Let's sit down and talk."
Zhou Dongsheng made a joke, played the role of the protagonist, and asked everyone to sit down.
"Mr. Xu is engaged in cross-border e-commerce. After some negotiations, I found that our business philosophy coincides with ours, so I decided to ask Brother Huang to come over and have a discussion."
.”
"And I also have the intention to invest in Mr. Xu..."
After Zhou Dongsheng said this, everyone here is a smart person, so they naturally know it well. Since they have already expressed their intention, all that is left is to negotiate the details and price.
Inviting Huang Zheng and others together may mean lowering the price. Since the business concepts coincide, it means that Xixi can be compared with Xixi as a competing product.
Compared with Pin Xixi, who has completed hundreds of millions of US dollars in financing and received treatment from Tenda as the lead investor, the chips in Xu Yangtian's hands right now are naturally unlikely to be of this magnitude...
Huang Zheng was not angry at being used as a spearman by Zhou Dongsheng, but it just showed that the friendship between the two was excellent.
What's more, since Zhou Dongsheng invested in Pinxixi, he has paid a lot of money. Mutual benefit comes and goes, and that is the way to go.
Therefore, Huang Zheng also wanted to meet Xu Yangtian with great interest. After all, the business concept that Zhou Dongsheng could recognize must be somewhat unique.
"In this way, Mr. Xu is also a person of the same mind. It's just that Mr. Xu is in charge of foreign affairs and we, in charge of internal affairs, can choose the track of cross-border e-commerce. It shows that Mr. Xu is also a man of great courage. Let me toast you...
…”
After Huang Zheng said a few words, he wanted to grab a drink to liven up the atmosphere. Naturally, Xu Yangtian did not dare to neglect this and followed suit.
Zhou Dongsheng used tea instead of wine as usual, and Xu Yangtian and Huang Zheng had already begun to exchange business ideas. They had a great time chatting with each other, and they quickly became familiar with each other.
In response to this, Zhou Dongsheng smiled and said nothing. Instead, he turned to chat with Gu Pinpin beside him.
"I haven't seen Sister Gu for a long time, but she still has the same style. Now Pin Xixi is developing rapidly. Thank you for your hard work, Sister Gu..."
Gu Pinpin rolled his eyes at Zhou Dongsheng and said, "You, an investor who has been enjoying his gains, now you want to ask for help? How about I report to you on the recent results?"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Dongsheng was very upright, nodded and continued: "Then I'll trouble Sister Gu, I just want to know more about it..."
Zhou Dongsheng's upright performance made even the two people who were having a lively conversation look at each other in confusion. Even Huang Zheng gave a thumbs up in his heart.
Even my junior sister is not so polite to me. I guess only Zhou Dongsheng can handle it...
Gu Pinpin couldn't help but feel happy, and said with a smile: "Since the investors want to hear it, then I will report it truthfully. It was Pin Xixi's anniversary not long ago, and under the anniversary promotion we launched..."
"The single-day transaction volume of the Pinxixi platform exceeded 100 million for the first time. In just about a year, we have completed the GMV milestone in the industry, but this is just the beginning."
"We are ready to strike while the iron is hot and take this opportunity to directly join the e-commerce war in November, grab a piece of meat from the mouths of domestic e-commerce giants, and continue to refresh our data."
Gu Pinpin spoke in simple terms and succinctly summarized Pin Xixi's recent achievements in a few words, but at the end he changed the topic.
"But we have to thank Jay Chou. One of the reasons why we have the confidence to participate in the e-commerce war is the traffic controlled by Jay Chou..."
Gu Pinpin looked at Shenghui and said to Zhou Dongsheng with a smile on her face.
"One family does not speak the same language. Only strong alliances can realize our business concept. This strategy of 'rural surrounding the city' cannot be achieved overnight..."
Zhou Dongsheng did not shirk, and responded with a smile. Today, in the mainstream of the era where traffic is king, the traffic pool in Zhou Dongsheng's hands has already changed from a small puddle to a bottomless one.
of great lake.
In the e-commerce war, the cost of customer acquisition is undoubtedly the most important factor that cannot be ignored. In November, when the Eight Immortals are crossing the sea and each is showing off its magical powers, Pinxixi will naturally have to use all its resources if it wants to strike while the iron is hot.
Although there is already social traffic provided by Tenda, the more traffic the better. Even the e-commerce giants will not have too much, let alone them as chasers.
Now, as the e-commerce war in November enters its seventh year, traffic prices have risen sharply in November, which has long become an ironclad rule in the industry.
This is undoubtedly one of the moats for e-commerce giants. For latecomers, if they want to steal food from the giants on this day, the price will be high.
And when it comes to spending money, who can compare with the e-commerce giants?
The traffic pool now controlled by Dongsheng Group may not be worth mentioning for e-commerce giants, but for Pinxixi, which has just completed a year, it is enough to solve an urgent need.
While chatting, Xu Yangtian couldn't help but interjected with emotion: "I have to say that Mr. Huang's business model is even better. It's only been a year now, and the GMV in a single day has already reached over 100 million. This month's GMV has already reached over 100 million."
Breaking through 1 billion is a natural thing..."
"It is natural that we will reach the tens of billions mark in the coming year. Such a rapid development trend is really eye-watering."
Xu Yangtian said he was envious, but his expression was very calm. It was obvious that others' things, no matter how good they were, were theirs, and only his own was true.
"In comparison, the cross-border e-commerce I have been operating for several years has developed a bit slowly. This year's GMV is only expected to exceed 4 billion. As for the profit, it is almost zero. Almost all of it is invested in maintaining the supply chain system.
On..."
"Although everyone knows that troops are expensive and fast, to achieve this goal, the most important thing is stable logistics supply. Compared with the insignificant GMV, the supply chain system is our top priority at Xiyin.
"
Huang Zheng felt the same way and said with great agreement: "Heroes see the same thing. Users in the lower market are very price-sensitive. If they want to create high-quality and low-price products, they naturally cannot do without a strong supply chain system."
"And this is precisely our biggest advantage in relying on the domestic market. As long as we can firmly capture a part of the audience, it will be enough for us to gain a firm foothold."
"Although Mr. Xu only produces a single category of clothing, the ideas are common. In this aspect, we may also have opportunities to cooperate."
"After all, one of us focuses on the domestic market and the other focuses on the overseas market. There is no conflict between our mutual interests..."
Huang Zheng said with a smile, then changed the topic and said with a little regret.
"It's a pity that Pin Xixi is in a critical period of development right now. Otherwise, I would have wanted to get involved in investing in Mr. Xu..."
"It's actually cheaper than Dongsheng. Don't say anything else. Dongsheng's vision is really outstanding. Each of the projects he likes has more potential than the last..."
Huang Zheng gave a thumbs up and said sincerely, as the teacher said, Zhou Dongsheng has some investment talent.
Xu Yangtian smiled casually and did not take such polite words to heart at all. If this were the case, the two parties could exchange equity even if there was no real money.
But obviously, the two sides do not yet have the basis for this strategic cooperation. What's more, in the minds of both parties, whether the other party is worthy or not is another question.
Zhou Dongsheng could not deny it. Under the influence of preconceptions, Zhou Dongsheng had already determined that this project would most likely "die".
But now that he has intervened, can he turn the tide and save this project that is destined to "die"...
This is Zhou Dongsheng's biggest expectation. If it comes true, the sense of accomplishment will be far greater than the temporary joy.
But now, as the topic deepens, the group has drunkenly for three rounds without realizing it, and with so much foreshadowing, it is naturally time to get to the point.
"I wonder how Mr. Xu wants to raise funds?" Zhou Dongsheng opened the skylight to speak frankly and asked directly.
Xu Yangtian was also shocked when he heard this. He put down his chopsticks and said with a sharp look despite his skinny appearance.
"For this round of financing, I am personally willing to take out 10% of the shares. The valuation is up to Director Jay Chou, but I hope to get the traffic of this platform..."
"At least in terms of equal cooperation, we, Xiyin, will be given priority!" Xu Yangtian said with clear eyes.
At present, although Wenxue Network has gradually shifted its business focus to the domestic market, it has never given up its efforts in overseas markets.
However, after originally relying on the export-to-domestic sales route and transferring many creative ideas from overseas platforms to China, we did not expect the results to be significant.
Yang Luyu then had an idea and repeated the same thing to sell the domestic Douyin idea overseas.
The same idea that comes and goes can simultaneously stimulate the creative desire of users at home and abroad, and inject new vitality through re-creation, thus constantly changing versions.
Perhaps the most typical one is the cross-dressing challenge. From the initial prototype version by Zhou Dongsheng to the present, it has been transformed into several versions, although it has been used to a great extent by users.
But the essence of "creating contrast" proposed by Zhou Dongsheng has never changed.
Therefore, overseas ones not only have not declined, but are still making rapid progress, dominating the overseas short video field, and still ranking at the top of the software application list.
In overseas markets, it is still a traffic position that cannot be underestimated.
Otherwise Xu Yangtian wouldn't have set his sights on this bridgehead.
