Taking the mobile phone Wan An sent in, Wen Liang answered the phone and greeted with a smile: "Hey, good morning, Mr. Liu."
After all, Lao Miao's name was Grandpa Miao, so the phone number Wen Liang left for him was of course a private phone number.
On the other end of the phone, Liu Chiping responded enthusiastically: "Good morning, Mr. Wen. It's been a hard night."
"No, it's just a small matter." Wen Liang's tone changed again, "Mr. Liu got up very early."
Liu Chiping replied: "Mr. Wen has set up such a big stage to sing an opera, how can we not rest after watching the opera? It's really exciting!"
Wen Liang said nothing.
Liu Chiping did not stop and continued to boast: "I really didn't expect that a social platform like Weibo International, which is not well-known overseas, could become a high-traffic platform in a short period of time."
"I heard that the international version of Weibo added more than 10 million overseas registered users last night, more than double the number before."
"Using the bridge attribute of the international version of Weibo to easily promote changes in the entire East American market is really wonderful, and it even caused Apple's stock price to create a historic one-day super plunge!"
"It's just a pity that I didn't hold a short order on Apple, it was a bit of a waste."
"Every key node has been grasped just right. The international version of Little Orange Book has had immediate influence in the overseas market since its launch. It is really amazing."
Wen Liang then continued: "Mr. Liu is so good at praising others."
"I just happened to have such an opportunity and followed the trend, so it stood out. After all, there was such a big news that Apple's market value evaporated by 70 to 80 billion U.S. dollars."
"It's a fact." At the end, Liu Chiping said casually, "But the international version of Xiaocheng Book seems to have been simplified a lot."
"Many good functional modules have not been installed. Is it because there is no time to worry about the language environment?"
Liu Chiping boldly tested it.
Obviously, he didn't want to hear a positive answer.
Wen Liang laughed and explained calmly: "Mr. Liu, we are the only two companies in China that have enough resources to integrate social networking and entertainment to a certain extent. Your Weibo products have been integrated into Bolang because of us.
New Weibo, although the international version of Weibo is now showing signs of development, after all, it is not a product that you have full control over;
It is enough that our Xiaocheng Book International Edition only promotes public social networking. Besides, you are the big brother in the field of instant messaging."
Liu Chiping sighed and said in a very enthusiastic tone: "It is really a very satisfying thing to cooperate with Mr. Wen. We at White Goose will sort out all the affairs as soon as possible and work hard to enter the overseas market."
Wen Liang thought for a while and said: "From the current situation, it can be seen that the sea is not that difficult, but it is not easy either. I hope we can advance and retreat together."
"Of course!" Liu Chiping agreed and then mentioned, "We will sort out the e-commerce business recently, and we hope that Mr. Wen can help broker the cooperation between us and JD.com."
Wen Liang didn't refuse: "Mr. Liu is too polite."
Bolang will not give up its hot-selling mall, but it has no plans to invest more resources in it for the time being. Participating in the merger of Baie E-commerce and JD.com will help Bolang improve its logistics system.
For such an advantageous thing, Liu Chiping had already laid out the steps, so Wen Liang had no reason to refuse.
The two briefly chatted about the merger of Baie E-commerce and JD.com.
Some preliminary interests were discussed in words.
In Wen Liang's memory, when White Goose gave up its e-commerce business, it also invested in JD.com and handed it over to JD.com for merger, but it was a year or two later than now.
At that time, Liu Chiping was the one who had the biggest objection to the news spread on the Internet.
It was Zhang Sanshi who finally convinced Mapperly and Liu Chiping.
The reasons for using it are similar to those used by Wen Liang.
What White Goose should consider is not how much money they make, but focusing their time and energy on doing the most valuable things.
Wen Liang can't really say that he copied it. Based on his understanding of White Goose, this is the right path. Only by focusing on long-term value can White Goose have longer-term possibilities.
As for why Mapelly and the others couldn't see clearly, it was probably because of the onlookers...
After chatting for a while, Wen Liang changed the subject: "Mr. Liu, QQ actually has great potential. It is very suitable for expanding operations through the plug-in model, similar to the domestic version of Xiaocheng Book;
We removed the plug-in from the Xiaocheng Book International Edition because we want to use it as an entry point to promote Bolang Big Social to overseas markets, and also leave enough foundation for our joint cooperation. I think QQ International Edition should use its strength to make up for this.
territory.
In fact, in my opinion, your strategic plan for WeChat should be focused on QQ. The shift from the PC era to the mobile era is not a divisive transition."
Liu Chiping said almost subconsciously: "Concentrate your time and energy on doing the most valuable things."
Wen Liang didn't answer.
Liu Chiping then said: "Mr. Wen means that I will have a good communication with Pony. Maybe in the past we did treat PC and mobile terminals separately."
"The feasibility of going overseas is indeed very high, but we can also see that the product needs to be optimized at the technical level to form a differentiated competitive advantage."
Having said this, Liu Chiping smiled: "Mr. Wen, I won't disturb you anymore. I look forward to your coming to visit our White Goose."
Wen Liang: "Definitely."
……………
Then Wen Liang received another call from Cao Guowei, who was also flattering, but basically didn't talk about business matters.
Because we have talked about it before.
There were only two phone calls after that.
Then Wen Liang lay down again.
You still have to sleep when you get home.
When he woke up again, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning. Wan An briefly mentioned the missed call on his private phone number.
These are all important calls.
For the less important things, Wen Liang cannot be contacted.
After drinking a glass of milk, Wen Liang began to answer these calls, and the first one called Zhang Sanshi.
"Mr. Wen's action is really earth-shaking."
"Haha, where."
"..."
After complimenting and greeting each other, Zhang Sanshi took the initiative to mention the matter of Baie E-commerce and JD.com. His Hillhouse had a lot of investments from large companies.
It is said on the Internet that Shen Nanpeng invested half of the Chinese Internet.
It's a fact.
The additional fact is that the other half was invested by Zhang Sanshi, and Zhang Sanshi’s investment is not limited to the Internet.
Zhang Sanshi said with a smile: "I feel very sorry for not being able to help Mr. Wen. Please give us a chance for future matchmaking."
Wen Liang also smiled and said politely.
Then Zhang Sanshi mentioned the focus of Wen Liang's concern: "The international version of Weibo became famous in overseas markets last night. Now it is late at night in the East American market. The number of new registered users is still growing rapidly, and the activity level has been at a considerable level.
;
As far as I know, Wall Street is very concerned about the role of the international version of Weibo in Apple’s Black Monday. Weibo has a better foundation for its independent listing. After careful judgment on our side, we have initially planned to go ahead with the listing.
Submit prospectus to Se C on December 15th.”
"Mr. Shen and Director Cao basically agree with our plan. What does Mr. Wen think?"
Wen Liang laughed when he heard this and said bluntly: "This date is chosen very well. I have no objection. This matter has caused a lot of trouble for several bosses."
"Haha, Mr. Wen is too polite." Zhang Sanshi laughed and added, "Now that you have launched the international version of Xiaocheng Book, we are a little scared and want to ask Mr. Wen if we can sign the B round of Bolang Xiaocheng as soon as possible.
"
Wen Liang laughed directly: "Shouldn't Mr. Zhang postpone the B round? I am very trustworthy, and the valuation of the B round will not change if it is 68 billion."
Zhang Sanshi said with a serious look: "It's safe to leave the bag."
So Wen Liang didn't say anything more.
The official international version of Xiaocheng Book is not independent from Bolang Xiaocheng. There are many reasons, mainly to increase the long-term value of Bolang Xiaocheng.
The valuation of Series B has been finalized, but the valuation of Series C is still unknown. There can be another Pre-IPO round in the future, and then IPO. There are at least three rounds left. Of course, the more funds that can be raised, the better.
Wen Liang's expectation is that the IPO valuation will exceed RMB 250 billion, and he will issue about 30% more shares at that time to raise a large amount.
But it won’t be a casual increase.
Value is something that sometimes needs to be distinguished in order to maximize benefits.
After talking to Zhang Sanshi, Wen Liang called Shen Nanpeng back, mainly talking about JD.com and Weibo, and finally inevitably mentioned Bolang Xiaocheng's Series B financing.
Of course there is a tacit understanding between Zhang and Shen, their tone of voice is the same.
It is true that dragging it out can bring better benefits to Series B, but it will obviously lose longer-term benefits, and it will also make Wen Liang unhappy, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Afterwards, some acquaintances from the business circle exchanged pleasantries.
…………
Just after finishing handling some external affairs, Li Ze walked into the office.
Li Ze only reported one key point: "We bought about 5% of the shares of AutoNavi and spent more than 200 million yuan."
"The corporate development department reported that it has reached a preliminary cooperation framework with Kelinghangrui, and the other party agreed to sell 100% of its shares at a price of 60 million."
Wen Liang nodded gently to express understanding.
The representative work of AutoNavi Software is AutoNavi Map. This time, taking advantage of the influence of the market and other factors, Bolang bought 5% of the shares in the market.
This is just an entry point.
In fact, Bolang didn't have much interest in the Gaode map, just in case.
Because Amap is not too eye-catching compared to Baidu Map, Bolang Terminal initially focused on introducing Baidu Map into the Star App Store.
But Wen Liang directly contacted Baidu Li, who was not interested in this trivial matter.
As a result, Keling Hangrui became Bolang’s real target.
After being rejected by Baidu Li yesterday, Wen Liang immediately arranged for his team to sort out cheaper companies with Class A surveying and mapping qualifications.
Then I found Kelinghangrui.
This company has Class A surveying and mapping qualifications (including navigation electronic map production), and its value is not high, so it is suitable.
Namely, Bolang has decided to develop its own mapping software.
Anyway, Bolang has too many business lines that require LBS (location-based services), such as Xiaocheng Book, Hot Shopping Mall, Chengzi Logistics, which directly require location-based services, and many other aspects.
Upon seeing this, Li Ze was not surprised and continued directly: "I plan to choose a suitable time to release the relevant information. I think Ali will become very uneasy because of this."
"As for the declining mobile phones, a second round of arrangements has been made. Their response yesterday made me a little unhappy."
Hearing this, Wen Liang said bluntly: "Just to say this, the overseas market is not the focus of this hunting plan. Last night's performance has achieved the set goal. Let's return the focus to the domestic market. Before the release of the Xinghai mobile phone, we must have a clear
vision.”
Li Ze nodded seriously: "I understand."
At the same time, the turmoil in overseas markets began to sweep across the domestic network, and the wind naturally swept towards Weiluo... -
