Chapter 461 This is a milestone moment
HK, Victoria Peak Villa.
Cheng Daqi walked down the stairs, and reporters from Global Figures had been waiting in the main hall for a long time.
Seeing the master come down, they stood up to express respect. Mr. Cheng waved his hand and said.
“Sorry, there was an online meeting just now that delayed the time. We will start as soon as possible.”
This house was built more than 40 years ago. After years of accumulation, the lush woods outside the villa make it feel like being in a primeval forest.
The early morning sunlight passed through the branches of the forest trees, passed through the slender English windows, and fell into the meeting room.
Global People’s photography team made preparations for the interview as quickly as possible. The reporter and Mr. Cheng started today’s interview.
The speed of Shanhaiguan's listing is unparalleled among start-ups around the world.
It only took less than a year from establishment to listing. Except for those special SPEC acquisition-style listings in the United States, no other company can hope to become the leader of the project.
"Mr. Cheng Daqi, my first question is also a question that many netizens are curious about - how old are you this year?"
The reporter is curious. Mr. Cheng's rise is like a meteor. His observations seemed to be able to clearly see the trajectory of the meteor, but not where it was going.
As a result, as we watched, Chengzong's company went public through mergers and acquisitions.
This story is more or less full of legend and magic.
"Ha, this is no secret. I am twenty-three years old and my information is publicly available."
"A young billionaire, or a billionaire who has become a billionaire in a short period of time, will you be proud of your achievements?"
Cheng Daqi shook his head, there is nothing to be proud of.
The scale of history is terrifying. As long as he looks far enough, he will see countless heroes who are more powerful than him.
Compared with those people, he can only say that he is just starting out.
“Age is not the most important thing. Many people have established great businesses at a younger age than me. Business success is only one aspect. Greater ability means taking on more responsibilities.< br>
I will continue to work hard and do better in Shanhaiguan's public welfare undertakings, social development and helping others. ”
Looking at the young and excessive Mr. Cheng, the reporter secretly complained in his heart.
Your desire for survival seems to be too strong. If you keep pretending like this, our article will not be as popular. .
This reporter still doesn’t understand Cheng Zong very well. Conservatism and stability are the basic principles of Cheng Zong. We must first stabilize our position before we can let loose.
Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with standing on the stage. No matter what, if you just call the bank a pawnshop mentality, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?
"Public welfare? Are you referring to programs such as "Farming" that are combined with poverty alleviation?"
Interviews with global figures are carried in sedan chairs, and the main thing is to add icing on the cake. What reporters know very well It was something that Mr. Cheng wanted to talk about more, so he intentionally raised a topic.
However, what he did not expect was that Mr. Cheng actually denied it.
“No, this program itself is just a case. At the level of our group company, there are many similar projects that promote the development of public welfare through the combination of self-media + online media + internet celebrities.
"Farming" is relatively well-known and has gained more attention through variety shows, but I actually hope that other lesser-known projects can also be known in a way.
>
But this is a difficult problem, and we are still studying how to proceed. "
"Problem? Where is the difficulty? "The reporter asked doubtfully.
Cheng Daqi mused.
"On the one hand, Shanhaiguan is only a small MCN company after all. Our resources are limited. Sometimes we want to do more but Powerless.
On the other hand, the platform’s algorithm and the concept of helping public welfare are contradictory to a certain extent. There are intertwined factors of different concepts between Shanhaiguan and Tongdou Video.
The ‘Village Guardian’ project, the ‘Meet the Intangible Cultural Heritage’ series of projects we launched, etc., have received strong support from Douyue Video.
But in the final analysis, Shanhaiguan is a commercial company, and Douyue Video is also a commercial company. Our commercial principles come first.
How to better balance commercial interests while reaching a consensus on public welfare services with partners is an important part of our future work.
What I can say is that I will do my best to build Shanhaiguan into an enterprise that can provide high-quality content and create more social value. ”
The entire process was unscripted, without any pause. Mr. Cheng seemed to be talking about public welfare, but in fact he took the initiative to direct the fire to the jumping video.
As for what kind of feedback Douyin Video will receive in the future, Mr. Cheng actually doesn’t care.
Since Shanhaiguan went public and started to build its own social e-commerce platform, the game between Tiaodou and Shanhaiguan has become an inevitable process.
Even MAS deployed overseas by Mr. Cheng will be subject to interference from TIKTOK. This is unavoidable - you can't even kneel down to avoid it.
Otherwise, money is attractive. For monopolistic platforms, expansion through monopoly status is a must.
The major Internet giants have never spared financial resources in terms of expansion, and they are all striving to develop from a single monopoly to a multi-faceted monopoly.
Let's take a preventive shot first, so that when things get ugly in the future, Mr. Cheng can use today's interview as a bargaining chip to gain a favorable position.
In the art of war, this is called predicting the enemy first.
It stands to reason that Tongdou Video should have started to deal with Shanhaiguan a long time ago. The reason why it has not taken action for so long is due to multiple factors.
First, Shanhaiguan is the first unicorn-level company hatched by a non-Double holding company hatched by DouYing, which is a positive factor for the revaluation of DouYing itself.
Second, Shanhaiguan moved very quickly. Before Chengdu bought Jiajiahaowu, it prepared the backdoor listing in advance. In other words, Chengdu’s decisive battle was very fierce. Quick – Business Blitz.
Third, Douyin needs a long period of evaluation and research on how to deal with Shanhaiguan. The size of Shanhaiguan determines that if Douyin tries to strangle Shanhaiguan, Shanhaiguan can take its own Internet celebrities to jump to other video platforms - this will become a problem for Douyin. Other opponents handed over knives.
With the success of Chengdu, Shanhaiguan’s Internet celebrities will still be able to bravely grasp the direction of traffic in the next few years. This premise is that Chengdu dares to take the last step in Shanhaiguan’s listing. The basis for applying eye drops to beating videos.
As far as the game between Tiaotong and Shanhaiguan is concerned, Chengdu always welcomes it.
A fight? It doesn't matter
The earlier the fight is, the better, and the bigger the fight, the better!
Longduan sounds awesome, but it's actually just that.
Europe and the United States also impose comprehensive sanctions on XP Industry. Is it useful?
It’s useful in the short term, but bullshit in the long term.
In just a few years, the chairman of ASM went from laughing and saying that China was not good to crying and begging the gentlemen to stop going crazy.
Applying the logic of manufacturing to the content field and the Internet platform may seem unrelated, but they are essentially the same.
No one, no company, can last long.
(Some people used to call Microsoft awesome. Now let him use WIN11 and let him update the old system to see if he still calls him awesome)
——
HKCEC, the full name is HK Convention and Exhibition Center.
This is a place where those red-flowered double sticks in Hong Kong movies will never be able to get in.
Gangs are special products in corners of the special stage of economic development that cannot be covered by public power. When the economic development is improving, they will naturally be forced to withdraw from the environment.
Cheng Daqi’s current achievements are already a ceiling that no character in any gangster movie can reach.
No matter how powerful the governor of HK is, he is only the leader of the region, and there are still people in charge.
But Mr. Cheng has no leader. He carries the responsibility and moves forward by himself. He is responsible for his own actions.
So, when he stood in the center of the HKCEC stage, he didn't even feel much excitement.
It's just a platform on the road, and his stage definitely doesn't stop here.
The boring warm-up show is over. The so-called movie king is actually just a high-class wage earner. "Now, let us welcome Mr. Cheng Daqi, the founder of Shanhaiguan Media Group!"
A well-known host from Guangdong Province is in charge of hosting tonight. In HK, Her popularity is just right.
After her announcement, President Cheng trotted onto the stage and stood in the center.
"I am particularly touched today to see so many customers and so many colleagues together to witness this moment.
We are a united team, and it is only through our struggle and hard work that we are able to Today's Shanhaiguan.
I also accepted an exclusive interview with Global Figures. The reporter asked me, "General Manager, how do you feel about the company's listing?"
I answered. I think this is a milestone day.
I believe that what happens today is of great significance to everyone's life.
But when a company goes public, it does not mean that a successful outcome has been achieved. I regard it as the beginning of a new challenge.
We still have a long way to go in the future. Some people say that one hundred years is the basic criterion for measuring whether a company is an excellent company.
In other words, only companies that have survived for a hundred years in the commercial competition market can be considered excellent companies - I don't want to use great, as that will put too much pressure on everyone.
We just need to work hard and be excellent. ”
The entire process was unscripted, but Mr. Cheng was actually well prepared.
For example, in addition to the teleprompter facing the stage, there is also a real-time barrage.
Although Shanhaiguan's listing process was low-key, it was broadcast live on the entire Internet. After all, Chengdu itself is a big Internet celebrity.
This kind of traffic should be taken a little bit.
Looking at the real-time barrage floating on the big screen opposite, Mr. Cheng adjusted the content of his speech in a timely manner.
“Because we are in the media industry, many of our users are recipients of content. In this Internet era, they are very timely in providing information feedback.
When we were in the audience just now, Mr. Zhao and I were reading the comments from netizens. ”
Xiao Zhao in the crowd had a black question mark on his face.
Brother, weren’t you backstage just now?
What are you talking about?
Only It can be said that there is a reason why Mr. Cheng is famous.
At least this kind of calmness that comes easily when standing on stage is something that many people will never learn in their lifetime.
You think so, Sister Haha?
This kind of calmness comes from the accumulation of experience in Chengdu's long-term work, and from the self-confidence cultivated by Chengdu's continuous success in business.
His ability can support his achievements.
“When the audience saw Andy coming out while watching the live broadcast, they wanted Andy’s autograph. I agreed at the time. After all, this is a user demand that can be solved immediately.
I say this because I am so excited. I want to emphasize that wherever Shanhaiguan goes, the needs of users will be the first priority.
I will work hard, stand with everyone, and provide users with good content. ”
Mr. Cheng’s performance was not as good as his acting, and the investors who came to support him gave timely applause under the leadership of Tuo.
In order to get Mr. Cheng’s attention, some high-profile people, Even the hands that are used to shoot are swollen.
When there are more people, there will be more bags under the eyes, similar to the barking of dogs in the village. They will have an inexplicable resonance effect.
So much so that Mr. Cheng signaled to stop repeatedly before the applause stopped.
“Some people say that Shanhaiguan is a very lucky company. We have stepped on the opportunity of the times and the opportunity of short video.
I actually don’t agree. Today, Douyin Video Mr. Zhang Fengxin, the founder of our platform, also came to the scene.
I would like to ask Mr. Zhang Fengxin a question. Please give the microphone to Mr. Zhang, who is sitting next to Mr. Zhao in the middle of the first row. That one."
This was a sudden attack. Zhang Jingfeng never expected that Mr. Cheng would act like this.
He waved his hand and wanted to decline, but Yang Yuan was such a thief that he didn't give him a chance to decline and just forced the microphone into his hand.
"Mr. Zhang, there are many content media organizations similar to Shanhaiguan. Why have other companies not gone public or even made a profit? Can you answer this question for everyone?
I am actually very distressed. After all, colleagues always say that there is a beating traffic tilt behind our Shanhaiguan. Please explain it to us."
Zhang Qingfeng lowered his head and looked up at the microphone in his hand. He raised his eyes and did not answer directly.
Is Yang Yuan ignorant? Or is Mr. Cheng just ignorant?
Zhang Qingfeng knew how sensible executives like Yang Yuan who came from the sales line were, and he also knew that people like Mr. Cheng who caught up with a niche and even took food and drinks would often pretend to be Shabi.
There are no fools in this game, it’s all about profit.
The last self-made Internet tycoon in China did not hesitate for too long and answered with a smile.
“Okay, I’ll ask the internal investigation department to check back later to see if you secretly stole traffic from the traffic pool.”
This answer is very interesting. Everyone subconsciously thinks about it at first. He smiled and cheered, and then tasted the taste.
However, Zhang Jingfeng certainly would not attack Shanhaiguan at the entrance of Shanhaiguan's listing.
Going back to that logic, as the first company among non-holding companies under the jumping system to be listed, Shanhaiguan has a huge benchmarking effect.
“Chengzong just mentioned why other similar companies are not as good as Shanhaiguan. I think there are two reasons.
The first is that Chengzong is more powerful. I once I even wanted to recruit him to be a top executive, but he didn't agree. Looking at it now, I missed a general.
The second one is that Shanhaiguan's model is very advanced and Chengdu's overseas MAS. Learn from the Hollywood film production industry and develop a very competitive content creation model
I have also watched Shanhaiguan develop. Here, I wish you a prosperous future.
Of course, we did not intentionally tilt the traffic. We were just joking. "
Zhang Qingfeng gave Mr. Cheng some face, but he seemed not to have fully given him face.
Zhao Hongjin sighed softly. She believed that a lot of conspiracy theories would come out tonight.
Moreover, she couldn’t understand why Mr. Cheng was so outrageous.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Zhang. Let's continue back to Shanhaiguan itself. Mr. Zhang just said that we are actually not so lucky. My personal efforts are not even critical.
I think that what really supports Shanhaiguan to be where it is today It is our user-centered content creation model.
But thinking about it more deeply, good content is only the foundation for us to gain recognition from users.
Shanhaiguan is even more grateful. , is to be grateful to the booming Internet industry, to China, and to everyone who supports us.
Today, what we raise is not money, what we raise is trust, and everyone’s trust in us, customers. The trust of the times, the trust of investors.
I hope that everyone in Shanhaiguan can be worthy of this trust and worthy of our vision and ideals in the future journey.
Bring better content to users and do the right thing! ”
