Seven hundred and sixtieth chapters strong alliance
It has to be said that although Zhou Dongsheng's proposal is very idealistic, it has certain feasibility.
The premise is that both parties have common interests, and the existence of Zhou Dongsheng is obviously this premise.
Of course, as Zhou Dongsheng said, if you want to establish a close cooperative relationship, you have to do it step by step. Just like a relationship, you can't just take off your clothes as soon as you get started, right?
Although it is not impossible, the nature of the matter has changed.
"What you said doesn't sound like a layman at all, but this issue is indeed worthy of consideration." Huang Zheng did not refuse directly.
But algorithms are the lifeblood of Internet companies after all. Without a certain degree of friendship, it is impossible to show off. Even if they are buddies, they have to be strong buddies to show off, right?
As for fencing... ahem, this is not a matter for buddies.
"Putting this aside for now, I have another suggestion regarding cooperation. I wonder if Brother Huang is interested in sponsoring an awards ceremony program?"
Zhou Dongsheng, whose thoughts were opened by Huang Zheng's phone call, couldn't help but think of Pin Xixi, who seemed to be possessed by Qianlong, transformed into psoriasis and posted small advertisements all over the Internet.
Especially in terms of sponsoring major evening parties and even winning the Spring Festival Gala stage, it can be said that a lot of money has been spent, and the effect this has brought to Pin Xixi is undoubtedly immediate.
In this case, Zhou Dongsheng, who has already activated the gene of fighting for Xixi's knife in advance, does not mind letting himself go to the dark side on the road of becoming a sinner for the ages.
Let’s start with the Golden Second Award and awaken Xixi’s psoriasis gene!
"Oh? Are you talking about the Golden Second Award? Your kid's sponsorship is my fault, right?" Huang Zheng couldn't help laughing and scolding.
However, being prompted by Zhou Dongsheng made Huang Zheng's thinking suddenly come alive. Sponsoring the award ceremony, after thinking about it for a while, you don't think it is really possible.
Especially for Pinxixi, which wants to expand rapidly, the most important thing is to continuously broaden its audience and frequently increase its sense of presence in front of users.
As long as users can enter the Pinxixi platform, Huang Zheng is confident that they will become Pinxixi users.
After all, price is king, and consumers who are even slightly sensitive to prices will have a hard time resisting the temptation of Pinxixi.
If it doesn't work once, just do it twice. As long as it works a few more times, who will have trouble with money?
Of course, there will always be consumers who pursue quality, and will sneer at such a model and will never be greedy for petty advantages. Even sugar-coated shells cannot shake it.
Obviously, the consumer group that pursues this kind of pursuit is not the target audience of the Pinxixi model. Under the two-way screening choice, it has long been excluded.
However, given time, when the Xixi model becomes more and more powerful, it will naturally come back to deal with this difficult group of consumers.
The big move of "tens of billions of subsidies" is undoubtedly prepared to impress this group of consumers.
As the famous philosopher Mr. Wang Jingze said, no one can escape the law of "True Fragrance".
"Hey, Brother Huang just accused me, an investor, of favoring one thing and neglecting the other. How come you don't like me because I want to keep the money from others? Why is it that Brother Huang's thoughts are more difficult to figure out than a woman's!"
Zhou Dongsheng smiled and teased.
"Boy, as long as the price is right for sponsorship, it won't be a problem. I'm worried about how to further broaden Pin Xixi's audience, and your proposal points me in a big direction!"
Huang Zheng shook his head helplessly, and then affirmed Zhou Dongsheng's idea. After all, this was the direction Pin Xixi was heading. As long as Zhou Dongsheng had a little more understanding, it would not be difficult for Huang Zheng, the founder, to draw inferences from one example.
"If Brother Huang is willing to cooperate, we are all members of our own family. We are talking about money or not. We are so open to outsiders!" Zhou Dongsheng became cunning.
The current time point is an extremely critical golden development period for both Pinxixi and Douyin. We must race against time to lay a solid foundation before we can face the competition calmly.
This is undoubtedly the main purpose of financing. After obtaining a large amount of funds, the first task is to convert it into resources that can ensure the development of the company.
For the two companies that have completed financing, the urgent funding problem has been alleviated, and what remains is to fight for scarce resources.
This is also a major reason why Huang Zheng came to the door. As Pin Xixi, who participated in the e-commerce college entrance examination for the first time, if she wanted to survive in the field surrounded by e-commerce giants, she naturally had to find another way.
After all, most conventional platforms have already become the exclusive preserve of major e-commerce giants. If you want to seize food from the tiger's mouth and snatch traffic from them, it will cost you a lot.
For Pin Xixi now, it is not a good deal. After all, investors' money is not blown by the wind and must be spent wisely.
On the other hand, the short video platform, which has risen rapidly this year and already has considerable traffic, is undoubtedly a platform that better meets Pinxixi’s needs.
After all, unlike the dual-platform and dual-dwelling development of "traditional" Internet companies, their business is completely focused on mobile Internet. With the help of differentiated competition, they have risen rapidly when the wave of the mobile Internet era arrives.
This also directly leads to the user group of their platform, which can be said to be 100% mobile phone users, with extremely high purity and almost no impurities.
Even if you want to use their software on a computer, it is still technically difficult. After all, they have no idea of developing a computer platform at all.
It is precisely because of this that the user groups between the two are highly overlapping, and they can even complete the flow without any obstacles.
The most important point is that such a new platform with huge traffic is like an uncultivated virgin land. It has not been favored by any giants, and naturally it will not be labeled.
This is simply like a platform tailor-made for Pin Xixi, and Huang Zheng can't wait to put it in... Ahem.
Therefore, although Zhou Dongsheng was vague, the implication was that Huang Zheng knew it very well. He wanted traffic? Okay, use resources in exchange, don't use money to fool people.
After all, who hasn’t raised money yet?
Even Pinxixi, which completed financing earlier, is not even as good as Douyin in terms of financing scale, but it is a coincidence.
This round of financing for both companies was led by Tenda Capital.
"Okay, since you have mentioned this, there is no need for me to refuse this kind of mutually beneficial cooperation. It happens to be dinner time, why don't we make an appointment to have dinner together?"
"We are all on this three-acre land in the Magic City. I haven't had any dealings with Mr. Yang in such a long time." Huang Zheng took the initiative to invite me.
"Okay, I happen to be here with Mr. Yang at the moment. Since Brother Huang has kindly invited me, I don't think Mr. Yang will refuse such a good thing as being invited to dinner." Zhou Dongsheng said cheerfully.
"Okay, I'll see you at the same place later." Huang Zheng stopped talking and hung up the phone after saying that.
Seeing Zhou Dongsheng hang up the phone, Yang Luyu was already feeling itchy and couldn't help but look at Zhou Dongsheng.
Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile, "Good news, we have found a perfect partner for Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang must be familiar with him. He is Huang Zheng from Xunmeng Technology. Let's have a meal and chat together.
Let’s talk about cooperation..." Xi
"Although one of you is doing short videos and the other is doing social e-commerce, you have a lot in common in terms of platform and business. I think you should have a lot of common topics to talk about."
"If we can reach cooperation, it will be a great thing for you."
Zhou Dongsheng stood up and said with excitement, although the horoscope has not yet been revealed, if the two can really be combined and join forces, then it might be possible to create a miracle.
By then, as the initiator of the matchmaking, Zhou Dongsheng's contribution may be enough to become a legend in the industry.
Of course, for Zhou Dongsheng, this is undoubtedly a very fulfilling thing.
It doesn't matter if you have money or not, as long as you want to earn "achievements".
"Okay, I've heard Mr. Huang's name for a long time, but I haven't really dealt with him yet. Today I feel like I'm in the good graces of Jay Chou." Yang Luyu also happily agreed.
After that, the group of people rushed to the place to eat. The so-called old place was naturally because Zhou Dongsheng and Huang Zheng often met here, and they became familiar with each other after going back and forth.
After all, for them, eating is secondary. Even if they want to taste all the delicious food in the world, it is only a matter of time for them.
Soon, when Zhou Dongsheng and others arrived, Huang Zheng and Gu Pingpin were already here to welcome them.
"This is Mr. Yang, I guess. I have heard about your deeds from Dongsheng's mouth for a long time. I have been fascinated by it for a long time. Today I finally have the opportunity to meet you." Huang Zheng said warmly and politely.
"It's because I've been admiring Mr. Huang for a long time. I've always heard of Mr. Huang's name. Now I finally meet the real person thanks to Jay Chou. He is indeed well-deserved." Yang Luyu did not hesitate to give in, and followed the business to exchange blows.
"Okay, okay, if the family doesn't speak the same language, don't be polite. Let's chat while eating." Zhou Dongsheng calmly smoothed things over.
After all, as the link between the two parties, he naturally has the important task of enlivening the atmosphere.
"Dongsheng's friends are my friends. Mr. Yang will give you more advice in the future." Huang Zheng was not polite and took the initiative to extend his hand.
"It is an honor for me to have a strategic investor like Director Jay. I will have to ask Mr. Huang for advice in the future. I hope Mr. Huang will not hesitate to give me advice."
A handshake is the starting point of a friendship. After all, one-sided love is still love.
In this way, the atmosphere became familiar, and the group of people sat down separately. Since Huang Zheng brought Gu Pingpin, the internal manager, he had fully demonstrated his sincerity.
Naturally, Yang Luyu also brought Zhu Jun, the leader of his technical team, and after a few words of greeting, he went directly to discuss technical issues.
Needless to say, with the exchange of opinions, both parties gradually became more interested, and both seemed to be aware of the commonalities in their products.
However, for a layman like Zhou Dongsheng, this link was a bit over the top. He could only listen to it with a partial understanding, but it was just for fun.
Fortunately, Huang Zheng did not leave him idle, and said with a hint of envy in his tone: "You kid went to the United States without saying a word, to visit the teacher alone, why didn't you call me?
"
"This is a last-minute idea. What's more, you, a busy man, don't have time. Unlike me, an idle man, who can spare ten days and a half..." Zhou Dongsheng joked.
"Teacher is really optimistic about you. I heard that you were robbed of a billion dollars, and this kind of treatment is unique." Huang Zheng said with a sour tone.
I was obviously the one who came first!
"Hey, one code equals one code. This is not a rip-off. I am a serious private equity person, legal and compliant. If Brother Huang has a small treasury that needs to be taken care of, you can leave it to me!"
Zhou Dongsheng patted his chest and said righteously.
"You're just grabbing a sheep and dragging it to death. You don't even let go of food or food. I don't have any small treasury. It has been drained by starting a business." Huang Zheng smiled and shook his head.
"But it's also true that your talent in investing has already gone overseas, so you don't need to do such a thankless task as starting a business."
For Huang Zheng, being recognized by his teacher is enough to explain everything. After all, it is a management power of 1 billion U.S. dollars. This trust is probably second only to entrusting one's wealth and life.
Therefore, Huang Zheng naturally believed in his teacher's vision. If he hadn't really had a small treasury, he would have had to follow suit.
Starting a business is definitely the most expensive choice in the world, bar none.
"Hey, even if you praise me so much, I won't be able to let you use Mr. Duan's money. I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible!" Zhou Dongsheng said righteously.
"I...cough." Huang Zheng was really choked by his unexpected words.
"Who do you think I am? If I really need it, I will speak to the teacher in person. Do you think I can't get it?" Huang Zheng said angrily.
"It's hard to say. I can only say that it's hard to say. Even if we can get it, it will definitely not be as much as 1 billion US dollars." Zhou Dongsheng clapped his hands and said seriously.
These words pierced Huang Zheng's heart, making him itch with hatred.
However, Huang Zheng couldn't help but enjoy making jokes with Zhou Dongsheng. After all, no matter what position he was in, there were always very few people with whom he could really chat. Otherwise, it would be hard to find a confidant.
Not to mention the number of like-minded people who can be counted on one's fingers, so from the bottom of his heart, Huang Zheng cherished this friendship very much.
Yang Luyu on the side didn't say much, but the information revealed in a few words still made Yang Luyu secretly shocked. How can such a large amount of money like 1 billion US dollars be said so lightly?
Whenever I feel I know something about Zhou Dongsheng, the latter always seems to be able to refresh his insights from unexpected angles.
Especially after this financing, Yang Luyu, who had reached the threshold of tens of billions, thought he had finally caught up with Zhou Dongsheng.
After such a meal, it can be said that the guest and the host enjoyed themselves, and the topics at the table were clearly divided into two groups.
The confrontation of technical concepts led by Gu Pingpin and Zhu Jun, as well as the banter between the three bosses Zhou Dongsheng, Huang Zheng and Yang Luyu.
Under Zhou Dongsheng's guidance, the two major platforms have initially established a basis for cooperation, which is undoubtedly a good start.
As for whether it can continue to develop, it depends on the sincerity of both parties to maintain this cooperation. The answer to this can only be known in the hands of time.
