Chapter 176 Two Conditions for Financing
The relationship between Yang Botao and himself almost collapsed after the phone call.
What could happen?
When did the campus network get in touch with the Olympic Organizing Committee, and how did it get in touch with the International Olympic Committee?
Why did you start an international marathon?
Or an officially designated sponsor?
What good things have happened to Qin Shaoyan?
At the same time, Yang Botao's heart was filled with fear. He was too aware of the horror of this matter.
The official promotion of the International Marathon has begun, and various media have begun to cooperate in publicity.
With the blessing of administrative agencies, the publicity effect will be very terrifying, and it is free.
There may even be relevant reports on CCTV. Although it will not be mentioned specifically, even if the picture appears for one or two seconds, the effect will be explosive.
The campus network has reached an official cooperation with us, coupled with such a major international event, and finally the upcoming super traffic of the Olympic Games.
Qin Shaoyan's popularity has reached its limit. Throughout the summer vacation, the only top topics on the Internet will be the Olympic Games and campus network.
With such terrifying traffic, the campus network has achieved its purpose of publicity and promotion.
The most helpless thing is that Yang Botao can only watch the campus network wantonly snatching users on his own territory, and he can't even resist.
The campus network borrowed from the general trend and was the right path. It was not at the same level as the business war he expected.
In the end, his relationship with the Shanghai stock market could only be said in a perfunctory manner: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, I really can't help you this time."
"This international marathon is in the city. The leaders attach great importance to it and require the full cooperation of the administrative agencies. The promotion of the campus network is also a part of the competition."
"In short, you Dazhong Network... take care of yourself."
Listen and hang up. When the busy signal on the phone was cut off, Yang Botao threw the phone to the ground angrily.
On the TV screen in front of him, CCTV news was playing.
“The Yanjing Station of the Global International Marathon will be held in July this year. This competition is part of the international marathon...”
“Campus Network, the sponsor of the competition, said that this time The purpose of the competition is purely publicity, to promote the spirit of the Olympic Movement to the world, and to promote the 2008 Yanjing Olympic Games..."
...
On June 28, the Global International Marathon officially started.
The first stop of the competition was set in Los Angeles. The Director General of the International Olympic Committee and the Governor of California attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech.
The Director-General of the International Olympic Committee highly praised this charity competition and expressed his gratitude to the cities that actively participated.
At the same time, the Director General also expressed special thanks to the sponsors Facebook and Campus Network.
Hundreds of newspapers and television stations from various countries recorded this moment at the same time.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the Director-General personally fired the starting gun.
After the gunshot, more than 700 athletes and more than 3,000 amateur athletes from 70 countries started running like a tide.
These participating athletes wore uniforms provided by Facebook, with their respective national logos, and fiercely competed for rankings for prize money and honors.
Then, the relay race started one stop after another.
New York, London, Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Rome, Athens, all the way to Yanjing.
The opening ceremony of the Yanjing station is as strong as Los Angeles.
For this marathon, the campus network also specially recruited more than 3,000 college student volunteers to provide services to the athletes.
Listening to the sound of the starting gun, Qin Shaoyan felt completely relaxed.
Now that the trend has been established, all that remains is to wait for feedback from the campus network data.
In order to do a good job in this event, Qin Shaoyan participated in the whole process and did not have a good night's sleep for more than a month.
Facebook and campus networks are spending money like water.
Fortunately, the event went smoothly without any accidents.
Just when Qin Shaoyan was sighing, Zhang Wanli walked up to him and patted his shoulder, "Mr. Qin, why are you hiding here? I've been looking for you for a long time."
" Brother Zhang, what are you looking for?" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised.
"The leaders will want to take a group photo later. You can go to the side and collect the number." Zhang Wanli said casually. "Ah?" Qin Shaoyan was shocked and asked in disbelief, "Can someone of my caliber go over and take a group photo?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are a sponsor. If you don't go, why don't I go?" Zhang Wanli dragged him, "Where's the vice president of Facebook? Whose name is Edward? He's the one from Beijing Movies."
"Edward Damon, he's squinting in the car." Qin Shaoyan asked, "Do you want to call him?"
"Of course I have to call him, hurry up and don't let the leader wait." Zhang Wanli urged.
"Brother Zhang, won't you go?" Qin Shaoyan asked curiously.
"What level can I take a photo with?" Zhang Wanli smiled, "I have to go to the hotel where the athletes stay to see."
"Brother Zhang, please don't spoil those professional athletes. If you have any problems, deal with them directly. Don't treat those people as foreign guests." Qin Shaoyan warned carefully, "We have signed contracts with them and we will not let them cause trouble. Whoever violates The contract will deduct money and fines."
"Tell us, don't be soft."
Zhang Wanli hesitated, "This is not good."
"Yes. What's wrong? This is saving us money." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "How about I let Edward tell you?"
"Okay, I understand." Zhang Wanli agreed. .
Qin Shaoyan turned around and pulled Edward out of the nanny's car, and took photos with the leaders under the leadership of secretary Zhang Wanli.
......
The next day, Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan came to the campus network with happy faces.
"Congratulations, Mr. Qin."
Qin Shaoyan, who attended the celebration banquet yesterday and was still hungover, covered his forehead and agreed perfunctorily.
Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan didn't care and sat down with smiles.
"The recent data on the campus network is quite good, it has exceeded the number of registered people on the public network."
"It's not bad." Qin Shaoyan poured himself a cup of hot water, "But now the campus network There are many users outside the student group, which is a good sign. "
"This shows that the popularity of the campus network has broken through," Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "the next step is for the campus network to absorb more. In addition to school students, we will also focus on developing urban white-collar groups. These people have high incomes and are generally Internet users. They are a very good potential user."
Xiong Xiaoge nodded with satisfaction, "Mr. Qin's vision. We fully approve of it.”
Zheng Nan said with a smile, "We recently looked at the backend data of the campus network. The number of registered users every day has exceeded 10,000. In some days, it has reached more than 100,000. It is expected to exceed 5 million registered users by the end of the month."
"It is useless to have a large number of registered users. The key is to look at the number of daily active users." Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds and said, "Our main goal in the future is to maintain user stickiness and increase the number of daily online users."
“If you are a social networking site, content should be king and attract users with high-quality content.”
“Of course, you have to spend money to make high-quality content.”
Xiong Xiaoge nodded, "That's what we came for today. I guessed that you should be short of money."
Qin Shaoyan was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiong Xiaoge in surprise.
Hey, Mr. Xiong will answer quickly.
Xiong Xiaoge stared at Qin Shaoyan with a penetrating look, "Let's talk about the valuation of Series B."
Qin Shaoyan was a little strange, "Didn't we negotiate before, five billion ."
Xiong Xiaoge was stunned, and it took him a few seconds to recover. "Aren't you going to shout up?"
"Yes." Qin Shaoyan said very calmly, "I'm afraid of shouting."
"And I am a very honest and trustworthy person. If I say five billion, it is five billion."
Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan looked at each other and were silent for a long time. Neither of them could figure out what medicine Qin Shaoyan was selling in the gourd.
Logically speaking, Qin Shaoyan should take this opportunity to increase the price.
"Really five billion?" Xiong Xiaoge asked again uncertainly.
"That's right." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "The Series B valuation is five billion, and 10% will be released."
Xiong Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "No problem, we IDG and Sequoia I invested!”
“But I have two conditions.” Qin Shaoyan suddenly said, “You guys will invest in Jingdong Mall with me.”
“Also, I want two rounds of valuation. Ten billion."
"Pfft!" Xiong Xiaoge spurted out all the water he had just drank.
