Chapter 176 Is Douyin dubbed?
"No problem, it's a piece of cake."
Farewell to Li Xiang, Lu Liang and Zhu Hu walked out of the company. Zhu Hu couldn't help but ask: "Are you so optimistic about new energy?"
Although Lu Liang also spent a lot of money to support Douyin, he always felt that Lu Liang’s treatment of Douyin was similar to that of ofo.
Looking at new energy, Lu Liang is particularly concerned about it.
Thanks to state support, the total sales of the new energy market in the first quarter of this year reached 74,000 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 32%.
But even if stable growth is maintained, the annual sales will only be 296,000 vehicles, 46,000 more than last year.
So what?
The data does not lie. The average car can only earn 12,000, including national and local subsidies.
If the country cancels the subsidy program and pays back every time a car is sold, it will be a loss-making business no matter how you look at it.
Lu Liang doesn't look like someone who collects the country's wool. After all, he can only make a lot of money by collecting wool, so he might as well go for it in the stock market.
Lu Liang smiled: "It's the same idea as the Jinsha River investment in Ideal and the Sequoia Investment in NIO."
At first he just wanted to do some business and make himself into two Walking on two legs, the financial industry can be grasped with both hands, both hands are strong.
I later learned that the market value of Jude Times exceeded one trillion five years later, and I became even more determined to engage in new energy ideas.
Zhu Hu frowned. The nature of Lu Liang's investment was obviously different from the nature of their investment.
Lu Liang didn't want to say anything, and he didn't continue to ask, telling him the date's address: "Zhang Yiming should be here."
"See you later."
Lu Liang smiled and waved, and the two of them got in the car. One after another they arrived at Lanting Restaurant in the west of the city.
Zhang Yiming was waiting in the private room of the restaurant. Lu Liang smiled and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Zhang, we meet again."
"Yes, Mr. Lu, you are doing well lately."
Zhang Yiming also stretched out his hand, with a smile on his face.
"Not bad, everything goes as expected."
After a few words of greeting, Zhang Yiming asked bluntly: "Mr. Lu, at the Douyin financing meeting that day, do your words still count?"< br>
Lu Liang smiled without thinking Suo: "Of course."
Zhang Yiming breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Liang said this, which meant that he didn't want to fight with them to the end. This matter is not without a turn. He pondered for a moment: "I think it's almost time. .”
Lu Liang asked: "Mr. Zhang, how do you plan to cooperate? Who will be the main player and who will be the auxiliary?"
Zhang Yiming said of course: "Of course our watermelon will be the main player and Douyin will be the auxiliary."
"No." Lu Liang shook his head.
Zhang Yiming looked ugly and couldn't help but look at Zhu Hu.
How much did Douyin invest, and how much did Xigua invest.
Let them use Watermelon as a dubbing for Douyin, will it dub it for Douyin?
Even if Lu Liang is rich, he can't bully others like this, right?
This is no longer a snake swallowing an elephant, but an ant stepping on an elephant.
Taking a step back, even if he agrees, can Byte’s shareholders agree?
Through the conversation between the two, Zhu Hu also understood.
He hurriedly smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, how about we discuss a specific cooperation plan?"
Both Douyin and Byte, Jinshajiang have investments, although their equity holdings in Douyin is larger Many, but he also feels that Douyin is not qualified.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhu, don't be anxious."
The corner of Lu Liang's mouth raised, and he suddenly asked: "If the technologies of the two companies are the same, what do you think about the products of Douyin and Xigua? Is there more potential for development?”
“Well~” Zhu Hu looked confused. He really didn’t understand this aspect, and he didn’t like to watch videos on weekdays.
Zhang Yiming frowned and fell into deep thought. After a while, he sighed: "It should be Douyin."
Judging from his experience in starting a business five times, Douyin's name and product concept are undoubtedly the top in the world. , but technologies such as algorithm push systems are too lagging behind.
Zhang Yiming suddenly looked at Lu Liang with resentful eyes.
If Lu Liang hadn’t visited Byte that day, Yang Zhenyuan might not have resigned. Maybe the Douyin app was their Byte product.
Every time he thought of this incident, he was so distressed that he couldn't breathe and couldn't sleep all night long. For a long time, Byte strictly prohibited anyone from visiting.
Lu Liang coughed a few times and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang is worthy of being a big player in technology, and his evaluation is indeed objective enough."
Zhang Yiming said angrily: "Mr. Lu, don't always say half of what you say. If you have anything to say, just say it. Let’s just say it.”
He suddenly felt like he had misunderstood something. Xigua’s cooperation with Douyin was only in a simple sense and did not involve the ownership of sovereignty after the merger. The next second, Lu Liang's words also confirmed Zhang Yiming's conjecture: "I have no objection to Douyin's management rights, decision-making power, or even calling it Byte Douyin, but it must be Douyin-based."
Since learning that Yang Zhenyuan’s Douyin could not beat Zhang Yiming’s Xigua, Lu Liang decided to facilitate the merger of the two parties.
But there is always a difference between biological and adopted, so he needs the guarantee of Byte and must treat Douyin as his own. The best way is to let Xigua be the voice of Douyin.
Zhang Yiming pondered for a long time. Watermelon has just reached its full moon and has no brand effect yet. As long as the sovereignty is in hand, it is not impossible to assist Douyin: "Mr. Lu, how do you plan to cooperate?"
Now He finally saw that Lu Liang had no feelings for Douyin at all, and it was purely out of profit.
"Both parties will disclose the data, let third-party institutions detect it, and then redistribute the equity according to value."
"Yes."
Douyin's valuation is around US$700-120 million, and Xigua's valuation is between US$180-220 million.
No matter what, Xigua has the upper hand and taking the lead is a sure thing.
"Mr. Zhang, it's a pleasure to cooperate." Lu Liang smiled.
“It’s a pleasure to cooperate.”
Zhang Yiming smiled slightly and suddenly became curious: “Mr. Lu, how do you plan to arrange Yang Zhenyuan?”
"Mr. Yang, although he has a technical background, I feel that he is more suitable to be an operations officer."
"Zhenyuan is indeed very good at operations."
Zhang Yiming nodded, but did not ask again. How Lu Liang would convince Yang Zhenyuan was not something he should consider.
Zhu Hu suddenly stood up and clapped, smiling brightly: "Only by joining forces can we be invincible."
He felt like a cannon hitting mosquitoes. Lu Liang made such a big fuss for Douyin. It caused many mobile phone manufacturers to complain, so is this the perfect end?
It feels a bit unrealistic.
Did you agree to take them to make a fortune together?
That’s it?
This income is not ordinary small.
Lu Liang said with a smile: "Without Mr. Zhu's help, Mr. Zhang and I would have no chance to cooperate."
"Mr. Lu, you are serious." Zhang Yiming also smiled, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Could it be that last year, when Lu Liang went to Byte, he rejected Lu Liang’s investment, causing him to feel dissatisfied?
So, there is this series of things?
If so, then Lu Liang is really petty and terrible.
But if not, he couldn't think of a better explanation.
Will Douyin undergo a qualitative transformation if it is left to them to operate? It's possible, but it seems unlikely.
After dinner, Zhu Hu suggested going to have fun, but Zhang Yiming declined. He knew what fun was, but he was a serious person.
"As serious as Shen Peng."
Zhu Hu looked disgusted, turned to look at Lu Liang, winked, and showed a smile that all men understand.
Lu Liang smiled and said: "I want to talk to Yang Zhenyuan."
"Do I need authorization from Jinshajiang?" Zhu Hu knew that Lu Liang only had 34% of the shares, while Yang Zhenyuan had 36%.
“Let’s talk about it first.”
Lu Liang smiled lightly. It was too strong to directly use the equity to pressure others. It was better to be polite first and then fight. If we can’t reach an agreement, then talk.
At eight thirty in the evening, the office floor where Douyin is located is brightly lit, as bright as day.
“Mr. Lu, why didn’t you say anything in advance when you came?”
Yang Zhenyuan was shocked, because with his current image, he was really afraid to meet people.
Oil scalp and dirty face, the already sparse hair turns into piles, and the scalp can be seen at a glance.
"Come today to participate in Ideal Financing."
Lu Liang walked into the company and glanced at the office area. Dozens of programmers were all listless and had thick bags under their eyes. It could be seen that I have been working overtime for many days.
The ground was covered with cigarette butts, empty Red Bull cans, and snack packaging bags. The air was filled with a strange smell, which made him feel as if he had suddenly returned to the dark Internet cafe from more than ten years ago.
"Mr. Lu, why don't we go out and chat."
Yang Zhenyuan rubbed his palms together with a smile on his face. He also felt that the office environment was a bit dirty and messy, but he didn't care. He was just worried about neglecting Lu Liang.
