Tang Lei has always believed that he is very eloquent and very forward-looking in looking at problems and very transparent in looking at people.
Under normal circumstances, the so-called chat is his one-way output of opinions, and the person he is chatting with usually takes three minutes to feel good about him and five minutes to trust him. If he chats for ten minutes, the other person's brain will shut down and become sluggish. The state is completely controlled by him.
Sun Tao is different from everyone else. He is indeed not as good as Tang Lei in terms of eloquence, but all Tang Lei's forward-looking views are not effective in front of him. Even if Tang Lei talks nonsense, Sun Tao remains unmoved.
When the views are the same, he does not need persuasion. When the views are different, it is useless to say anything.
Even if Tang Lei showed him countless examples that had happened in the past for comparison, Sun Tao would only look at him with pity in his eyes, and the implicit meaning seemed to be: If this evil kid hadn't met me, he would definitely have jumped off the building at a loss!
Tang Lei didn't even know why he was output in reverse.
Sun Tao didn't talk much, and he didn't have any theoretical support or practical cases to refer to. But when he listened to his analysis from the perspectives of technological development, social changes, and people's acceptance of new things, Tang Lei always subconsciously forgot about Sun Tao. It was predicting the future, but it felt like Sun Tao was stating a fact. Facts speak louder than words, and Tang Lei had to accept Sun Tao's opinion.
Instead of flooding the market with money and quickly occupying the market, we should use a subtle and silent approach to build reputation and cultivate usage habits.
Sun Tao: You have to understand the current market as a desert. No matter how much water you pour in, it will be useless. It will either evaporate or become groundwater and be lost. Our most correct method now is market cultivation, just like drip irrigation in the desert. Plant some plants that can prevent wind and fix sand. Once the time is ripe and customers have needs in this regard, they will first think of our website or our application...
Flying from Hangzhou to Yanjing did not persuade the boss, which made Tang Lei, the CEO, a little frustrated.
Persuasion turned into debriefing.
JD.com is still talking repeatedly. Tang Lei is also optimistic about e-commerce but not as optimistic as Sun Tao;
Xunlei had already invested US$2 million. At first, Tang Lei didn't know much about Xunlei. He didn't know that there was such a company until Sun Tao reminded him. Then he became more optimistic than Sun Tao. The playback software was a concept that could become a big hit. Tang Lei The domestic and foreign investors contacted by Lei are very interested and can be said to be flocking to it.
Dianping is his own website and of course he is more active in promoting it. Unfortunately, the boss’s concept of keeping a low profile and dormant is not compatible with many domestic investment institutions who want to make quick money. That is why DTS and SoftBank are willing to invest in Sun Tao’s 5 to 10-year future plan. The US$1.5 million was paid in installments and came with many conditions. Of course Tang Lei felt it was less, but Sun Tao felt it was fine.
The change of strategy was not negotiated, but Tang Lei felt at ease after talking to Sun Tao. This was a very strange feeling. Anyway, he felt that what Sun Tao said could definitely be realized.
Tang Lei made an estimate for Sun Tao. If all the plans at hand can be implemented and $5 million is invested, he is confident that it can bring 5 to 20% revenue to the company.
(Similar to leverage, Langwa is the initiator who enjoys the maximum return. Some other investors receive fixed income and some receive risk income according to the investment agreement. If all investment targets can be doubled, Langwa will earn almost US$2 million. Of course, this is not true. It's possible. Generally speaking, most investments are lost. A small part can be saved and a tenth can be recovered.
——Everyone has seen that SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son made hundreds of billions by investing in Alibaba, but they don’t know that he made more money in other places. )
Sun Tao took a sip of tea. How many times has Xunlei doubled since its launch? Ten times or twenty times, I can’t remember. Jingdong only doubled it, not even ten times. Sun Tao couldn’t calculate the exact number. Anyway, he knew that Tang Lei had underestimated.
…………
We’ve finished talking about strategy, and we’ve finished talking about tactics.
Sun Tao asked Tang Lei if he was still used to living here, the weather, food, etc.; Tang Lei asked Sun Tao about his recent work situation, which industries he was optimistic about in the future, etc. In fact, Sun Tao wanted to say that if he had more money, he could start Weibo, but considering that Weibo could not make ends meet and almost went bankrupt in 2009, Sun Tao did not mention it... The advantage of reborn people is to follow the trend. When Weibo cannot make ends meet, it is better to cut off a piece of meat than to do it yourself. It would definitely be much easier to work hard to create one. Besides having foresight, what else can you do than the current elite? Can you do it if others can't?
Sun Tao didn't say anything, but Tang Lei did, "Actually, I'm a little surprised. You're quite successful in the entertainment industry. You originally started a website called Haitang.com, but now it seems to me that you focus all your attention on the Internet. Life services are available. Haitang.com now has a lot of active users, so let’s just let it grow wildly?
In fact, the idea of ranking is a good one, and the competition between singers is also very interesting... I think it should be developed, after all, we have a foundation in software and hardware..."
Sun Tao gently rubbed the tea cup. If you have spare money, it's not impossible. In fact, the music community and the Weibo community can both be established and even integrated... Anyway, it was Tang Lei who mentioned it. It doesn't matter if the timing is wrong. If you lose, you will lose.
All the company's projects are profitable and have doubled ten to twenty times, which is so damn attention-grabbing. Whether it is a loss or a loss, it can balance the fortune, just like Chinese football. The more colorful the football, the more prosperous the country's fortunes will be.
……
Qin Boya went to take a nap, and Sun Tao and Tang Lei kept talking. There were too many things to do and time passed quickly.
After chatting, his mouth became dry and his thermos bottle ran out of water. Sun Tao realized that it was already past four o'clock, "Let's have a meal together tonight, and I will take you to taste the local flavor of Yanjing."
Tang Lei is a pragmatic person. Before getting on the plane, he made an appointment with Liu Qiangdong for dinner. He had no intention of having dinner with his boss to get closer.
Tang Lei, "Didn't we just have dinner together at noon? Dinner is not allowed. I have already made an appointment with Liu Qiangdong. By the way, I am the driver on the CEO's side. Can I move?"
Sun Tao, "Of course, I'll tell him..."
——
At 4:40, Yan Feng picked up Tang Lei and closed the courtyard door before Qin Boya came out of the bedroom.
There were no wrinkles on the suit, and I didn't know whether she didn't sleep at all or whether she slept boldly.
Qin Boya looked at Sun Tao openly, "I can't get used to the south. Please find something for me in Yanjing. Just be the assistant to the president. Oh, by the way, I have had too much contact with Wang Yu recently. In order to cover up others' eyes, I asked you to do that." Cousin Sun Ran used it as a cover, but actually I really don’t care that your cousin is too timid to give him a chance..."
It doesn't matter. If it doesn't matter, she won't mention it specifically.
Just as Sun Tao was about to speak, his phone buzzed【马博】
Sun Tao could only give Qin Boya an apologetic look and answered the phone, "Hey, Brother Ma, what's wrong?"
"On May 4th Youth Day, there is no program that can be produced at the Taili and CCTV cooperation party. Please come up with something." (End of Chapter)
