Hearing Zhou Bo's request, Zheng Ge shook his head.
I have no intention of investing in Zhou Bo.
It's not about whether the other person has the ability, it's just that I feel that the other person's character doesn't fit with him.
He can guarantee that if he invests in Zhou Bo today, he will definitely be in trouble in the future.
But after thinking about it, he didn't refuse directly and said, "Tell me your idea. If it's worth investing in, I won't refuse."
After Zhou Bo heard this, he lowered his head and started thinking, "Capital is indeed the same, they are all profit chasers. It seems that if you want to get the other party's investment, you need to come up with some solid information."
Thinking of this, he raised his head and said: "What I want to make is a short video, but not a super showy one, but a 10-second short video."
"Um?"
Zheng Ge was stunned and sat up straighter.
Meng Tongfeng and Xi Meng were also stunned.
10 seconds short video?
What can you do in 10 seconds?
But Zheng Ge is different. He knows the charm of a 10-second short video, which spreads across the country like a virus, attracting people's thumbs and scrolling through their phones.
"10 seconds is just a way of saying it. To be precise, my idea is 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds... and other different levels of time. The longest one will not exceed 3 minutes." Zhou Bo stared at it.
Zheng Ge said with his eyes.
At a meeting at Chaoxiu, he proposed to change the 2-3 minute video into four modes: 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, and 3 minutes. As a result, he was opposed by two partners and Xu Peng.
.
From an outsider’s perspective, what can 10 seconds do?
It's just a blink of an eye.
He wanted to see what Zheng Ge, who started his career by investing in the Internet, would think of his own ideas.
But he only saw a hint of surprise in Zheng Ge's eyes.
"good."
Zheng Ge said.
"Brother Zheng."
Meng Tongfeng pulled Zheng Ge's arm.
Zheng Ge shook his head and smiled at Zhou Bo: "Let's go and sort out some materials. Then we can sit down and talk slowly."
"good."
Zhou Bo frowned slightly and responded.
He doesn't like capital, but he also knows that he must rely on capital to make a comeback. Once he is strong enough, he will find a way to kick it out.
…
Zhou Bo said goodbye and left.
Zheng Ge and Xi Meng didn't stay much longer. After finishing the hot pot, they paid and left the hot pot restaurant.
Sitting in the car, Meng Tongfeng frowned and said: "Brother Zheng, Zhou Bo gives me a very good feeling, a little arrogant, and a little straightforward. He just says whatever comes to his mind and doesn't care about other people's feelings. To put it bluntly, he has low emotional intelligence, paranoia, and decision-making.
If you are of the same mind as the other person, you will develop smoothly. But if there is any conflict of opinion, something will happen."
In Meng Tongfeng's heart, Zheng Ge is not only his investor, but also his boss and friend.
That drink was not for nothing.
Drinking out emotions.
Therefore, necessary reminders should still be spoken out.
Zheng Ge turned around and looked at Meng Tongfeng in surprise, jokingly said: "Okay! Okay, you can see so many things in such a short time."
Meng Tongfeng blushed a little and said: "No, they are mainly Jiangnan Internet companies. Chaoxiu short videos are also very impressive. Xianyu has also been in contact with Chaoxiu before, mainly through some soft advertisements on Chaoxiu short videos.
So I know a little bit about Zhou Bo. As far as I know, among the three founders of Chaoxiu short video, Zhou Bo is the least gregarious."
"That's it!"
Zheng Ge smiled and said: "Although we just met once, to be honest, I don't like him very much, and I also want to reject him. But some of Zhou Bo's ideas coincide with what I have in mind. So.
Let’s take another look and see what his plan is like.”
Meng Tongfeng was surprised. Is a short video of 10 seconds or 15 seconds really acceptable?
Zheng Ge didn't explain much and was thinking about it in his mind.
I opened the [Fu Zi Lottery] panel and checked the inventory of question papers. There was one left. I was thinking about whether to use it and asked about this Zhou Bo.
He definitely wants to make short videos. In his previous life, Douyin was valued at more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, so it’s impossible for him not to be tempted.
But whether a company can do well is not only related to creativity, funds, and channels, but also to the person at the helm. If the person at the helm is not good, even if the creativity is against the sky, it will be difficult to succeed.
Let’s not talk about it far, let’s talk about e-commerce in this world.
Penguin Group once spent huge sums of money to enter the e-commerce market with great fanfare, but it could not compete with e-commerce companies such as Taobao and Yiguo, which were still small companies at the time. At that time, Taobao's valuation was only a few hundred million, while Penguin Group was already
A giant with a market value of tens of billions of dollars.
Does this mean that Penguin Group has no channels or funds?
It can only be said that the person at the helm of the e-commerce business is not good enough.
Also like Douyin and Kuaishou in the previous life.
Kuaishou was the first to become popular. It seems to have been online in 2011. It initially made animated gifs, and in 2012 it began to transform into a short video community.
And what about TikTok?
It was only launched in 2016.
A full 4 years too late.
As far as Zheng Ge knows, as of the 2019 Spring Festival Gala, Douyin has surpassed Kuaishou in terms of number of users and popularity.
At least at that time, many people around him were playing Douyin, but no one was playing Kuaishou.
Therefore, investing in a company depends on the ability of the founder or management team.
Otherwise, the same market, the same funds and channels, and different management teams can produce different results.
So even though he didn't like Zhou Bo very much, he thought the future would be very troublesome.
But he still wants to talk to the other party.
Talk about the other person’s views on the short video.
Zheng Ge closed the [Fu character lottery] panel and decided to wait.
After talking to Zhou Bo, let’s decide whether to use the ‘question and answer sheet’.
If we can't reach an agreement, everything will be in vain.
He really wasn't very sure whether the negotiation with Zhou Bo could be successful.
"Dingling bell..."
At this time, Zheng Song's cell phone rang.
I took it out and saw that it was Yao Yao calling.
Zheng Ge's heart moved, could it be...
Thinking of this, he quickly answered the phone.
"Zheng Ge, the clinical trial was successful, and our anti-cancer drug research and development was successful." Yao Yao's excited voice came over. The voice was a bit loud, and even Xi Meng, who was driving, and Meng Tongfeng, who was in the passenger seat, heard it.
They turned their heads sharply.
"Watch the road."
Zheng Ge glared at Xi Meng.
This woman wants to kill someone.
Simon quickly turned his head and drove seriously, but his ears were still erect.
As someone close to Zheng Ge, I was also very concerned about Zheng Ge’s initial investment in Chenghua Pharmaceutical. But more than a month later, Chenghua Pharmaceutical was like a pool of stagnant water, with no movement.
This made them all believe that Zheng Ge's investment would probably fail.
As a result, news suddenly came out that the anti-cancer drug was successfully developed. How could they not be surprised?
