Chapter 277
The next day.
Liu Mingzu specially put on a suit sponsored by his cheap father, dressed like a business elite, and rushed to the campus network reception room early to wait.
It was between seven and eight o'clock in the morning. The employees who worked yesterday had not yet finished get off work, and the person who took over today had not yet arrived.
The dark office area was very quiet, with heads protruding from the sleeping bags scattered on the ground.
Occasionally, a few bright computer screens reflected the pale faces of the operation and maintenance personnel on duty, struggling to stay up.
After a while, two employees rushed in with their arms open and a bunch of plastic bags hanging on their arms, and started shouting at the top of their lungs.
“Breakfast is here!”
“Shaobing, deep-fried dough sticks, tofu curd, soy milk, soy juice and pea yellow!”
The shouts were like a rooster crowing, breaking the silence of the early morning.
The sleeping bags on the ground were like caterpillars. Gu Yonggu dug out one after another, sleepy-eyed coders, and pounced on them like hungry wolves, eating up all the breakfast on the table.
Eat and drink enough and wash up.
At this time, the employees who came to work had already started to sign in at the front desk, and then handed over the work.
Basically, I’m just asking, did anything happen yesterday?
Is the server down? Open the background LOG to see if there are any errors. Record them together and wait to be handed over to the development team for repair.
After the handover was completed and people signed in to get off work, the campus network began to gradually become lively.
The programmer wearing a plaid shirt brought a thermos cup and wolfberry and started making tea. The young programmer had Feizhai Happy Water on the table.
Some hung headphones around their necks and began to browse the web and catch fish secretly.
Some get together to discuss technical issues, or exchange learning materials.
On the other side of the office area, the painting style is completely opposite.
Compared with the coders who wear plaid shirts, product managers appear more formal. Most of them drink coffee and use various English words in their chats, which makes them look very elite.
Opening your mouth is the starting point of marketing, closed loop of business logic, alignment of granularity, and top-level design of industry barriers are difficult to understand.
Liu Mingzu sat aside and listened for a while before his head became confused. He could understand every word, but he had no idea what it meant.
But the professional vocabulary sounds very high-end and very foreign.
Liu Mingzu was particularly envious when he saw it. He felt that although he was also engaged in the Internet, the layout was not even the slightest bit worse than other campus networks.
Just look at the temperament of this employee, every move reveals a hint of coquettishness.
Here Liu Mingzu was listening in rapt attention when he saw the product managers who were having a heated discussion suddenly stood up collectively and stood respectfully.
"Hello, Mr. Qin!"
"Good morning, Mr. Qin!"
Qin Shaoyan nodded calmly and walked straight into the office.
After a while, Secretary Xiao Chen jumped over and delivered the message, "Manager Zhou, Mr. Qin is looking for you."
Department General Manager Zhou Yuan quickly stood up and quickly followed Xiao Chen into Mr. Qin's office.
After a few minutes, Zhou Yuan respectfully backed out of the office, closed the door, and returned to his department's office area.
The product managers nearby swarmed over and asked eagerly.
“Mr. Zhou, what time will the boss’ meeting be held today?”
"Boss, are you going to talk about user big data today?"
"When will Mr. Qin talk to us about the ecological layout."
Zhou Yuan waved his hand, "Mr. Qin has guests to see today. , the morning lecture was cancelled.”
“Huh?” The product manager was in an uproar, with a look of disappointment on his face.
“The boss hasn’t given us a lecture for a long time!”
"Yes, I made it clear last time that I would talk about reuse in vertical areas, use multi-dimensional matrices to build an ecological moat, use overclocking traffic advantages to empower new products, and detonate user perception."
"Tell me something. Shit, what Mr. Qin said clearly last time was to use top-level design as the starting point, focus on user perception, break industry barriers with underlying logic, develop new tracks, build a new blue ocean in the industry, and create a free ecosystem.”
Zhou Yuan clapped his hands and interrupted the argument among the people below, "Mr. Qin said, you should study and study by yourself first, and he will tell you the five methods of PPT next time."
"The day before yesterday. You said next time, you said next time yesterday, and you said next time today, when is the next time?”
Zhou Yuan coughed, “Mr. Qin’s original words were definitely next time, that’s definitely not the case. It will take too long. Let’s work hard.”
All product managers left disappointed.
Watching this scene, Liu Mingzu was very shocked. Mr. Qin’s methods of controlling people were so terrifying, and the employees below him were like idols.
If he didn't have a lot of business on hand and several lovers to take care of in his spare time, he would also like to come over and study with Mr. Qin.
While Liu Mingzu was sighing, his secretary Xiao Chen ran over again to convey Mr. Qin’s oral instructions, "Mr. Liu, our Mr. Qin invites you to come over."
He immediately cheered up and became a little more truthful. Take off your clothes and follow Xiao Chen into Mr. Qin's CEO office.
As soon as Liu Mingzu entered the door, he saw Qin Shaoyan sitting on the chair behind the boss's desk. His face was still so haggard and pale, and his complexion was still so bad.
It seems that Mr. Qin has been working hard recently.
Qin Shaoyan rubbed his forehead tiredly, looked at Liu Mingzu and smiled, "You came early, IDG's President Zhou hasn't arrived yet, I guess..."
As he said Qin Shaoyan raised his left wrist and looked at the watch, and then looked at the watch on his right wrist. "It will be there in about ten minutes. You sit down and wait for a while."
While saying , Qin Shaoyan adjusted the time on his left watch.
Liu Mingzu was really dumbfounded now. Why did Mr. Qin wear two watches? What kind of new fashion is this?
Liu Mingzu was too embarrassed to ask, so he talked about what he had seen in the morning, "Mr. Qin, how do you manage the company so well? Everyone seems to be very energetic."
"Simple , Just give me enough money," Qin Shaoyan replied casually.
“Ah?!” Liu Mingzu was stunned, “That’s it?!”
“I lied to you.” Qin Shaoyan laughed, “It’s because of the thoughtful welfare system, human nature Customized flexible work system and continuously improved KPI assessment standards. ”
Liu Mingzu directly extended his thumb, "As expected of Mr. Qin, the management methods are so high-end and foreign-style, this management method sounds very powerful."
"It's not like I am from a wild background, and I can only communicate with the company's employees. Talk about brotherhood, promise more salary increases, and watch them work every day. They are so tired that they are not very effective.” Qin Shaoyan said casually, "If you can't manage well, you'd better find an expert to help you, or give more money to your employees."
"Just giving money won't be enough." Liu Mingzu said hesitantly , "The people in our company are not qualified. Unlike the employees of Qin Corporation, they are all elites and they speak nicely."
"I couldn't understand what they said today, what about closed-loop, granularity, The red ocean and the blue ocean look like employees of the Fortune 500.”
"If I have a few employees like this, then I can really sit back and relax." "Oh, those product managers." Qin Shaoyan suddenly laughed, "I will send them all to society next year. If you If you like it, you can pick a few to take with you when they graduate. I have no objection.”
Hey, is there such a good thing?
"Thank you very much, Mr. Qin!" Liu Mingzu was overjoyed. Mr. Qin is so generous. These employees just give it to them.
Liu Mingzu was happy about getting the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks when Zhou Dao walked in and said, "Good morning, Mr. Qin."
"Mr. Zhou came so early, please take a seat." Qin Shaoyan stood up enthusiastically, "Xiao Chen, some tea and coffee!"
Zhou Dao and Liu Mingzu said hello and found a seat. He sat down and asked curiously: "What are you talking about that makes you so happy?"
Liu Mingzu said quickly: "Our company is worried about the lack of talents. Mr. Qin generously expressed his willingness to provide money from his company. Give me some elites.”
“Hey, is there such a good thing?” Zhou Dao was very surprised, “They were all brought out by Mr. Qin himself. I had thought about poaching them before. A few."
"It's okay, there are opportunities," Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.
"Then I'm not welcome." Zhou Dao joked a few times, and then he looked serious, "Mr. Qin, you called me here just for the financing of the Internet Story Club, right?"
"What story? Yes?" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised.
Liu Mingzu said quickly, "It's my website, called Online Storytelling Club."
"Oh, yes." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "I heard that Mr. Liu has been looking for financing. We've talked to you several times but haven't settled down yet?"
"That's true," Zhou Dao said solemnly, "We have carefully inspected the online story meeting and feel that the future of this website is not very clear. I discussed it and felt it was risky.”
"There are definitely risks. I don't agree if the future is unclear." Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds and said slowly, "This audio novel website actually has great potential for development."
"The Internet has developed over the years. It can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming. There are various websites with different functions.”
“Some are for reading news, some are for chatting and making friends, some are for finding daily couples, some are for listening to music, and some are for watching videos. , everyone has different preferences.”
“Audio novel websites attract people who like to listen to radio and storytelling. Don’t think that young people only like to listen to music. Some also like to listen to radio dramas and storytelling.”
“This website fills this gap and is convenient for people who like novels but are too lazy to read.”
"If there is demand, then it is valuable."
"Maybe this website can't see anything now. If you wait for another five or ten years, the value of this website will be reflected."
" Investment is about the future.”
Zhou Dao frowned and thought, “Since Mr. Qin is optimistic, I definitely believe in Mr. Qin’s judgment, but others in the team may not agree.”< br>
Qin Shaoyan laughed and said, "Mr. Zhou, you are not interesting anymore."
"The financing for this website is only two to three million US dollars at best. If IDG said that it would be hesitant to invest tens of millions of US dollars, I would not believe it. One million US dollars would not be enough."
Zhou Dao looked towards Qin Shaoyan said, "Mr. Qin, how much do you think this website is worth?"
"If I opened it myself, I would definitely say it is one billion." Qin Shaoyan changed the subject, "But if it is opened by someone else, I can't It’s a big deal, with a discount, three hundred million is enough.”
“Three hundred million?” Zhou Dao thought for a moment, “That’s about $40 million, so even 10% would cost four hundred. Ten thousand dollars."
Liu Mingzu next to him was shocked when he heard this, and his whole body began to tremble.
He never dared to dream that his website would be worth 300 million?
It has to be Mr. Qin. He asked for 300 billion if he opened his mouth. If it were him, he would only dare to say 100 million at most.
Qin Shaoyan began to talk eloquently, "The audio novel website already has a fixed group of paying users, and the monthly revenue has reached hundreds of thousands. This is still not in the preliminary stage."
< br>“After the expansion, more users will be absorbed, and the monthly sales can reach several million levels.”
“In addition, Mr. Liu plans to develop SMS value-added services, which is another new one. Business growth point.”
"Except for costs, the annual revenue is expected to reach tens of millions." Qin Shaoyan looked at Liu Mingzu, "Yes, Mr. Liu."
Liu Mingzu was excited and said quickly: "I am working hard."
Qin Shaoyan added another sentence, "Can you make five million a year now?"
Liu Mingzu hesitated for a moment, "Maybe."
Zhou Dao thought for a while, "If the audio website can be built, annual revenue of tens of millions is a conservative estimate."
"Then do you think it's worth 300 million?" Qin Shaoyan asked, "Of course this valuation may be open to question."
"But this also tests whether Zhou is not a great investor."
"Mr. Qin, what you said..." Zhou Dao was a little dumbfounded, "Then I will look at your face, three hundred million is three hundred million."
"Don't Look at my face." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "My face is not worth 300 million."
"This is based on Mr. Zhou's vision. Yours is worth 300 million."
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for the compliment. I can't bear it." Zhou Dao thought for a moment, "How much money does Mr. Liu want to raise?"
Liu Mingzu was already in great happiness and joy at this time. Three hundred million would be enough. Is this done?
Happiness came too suddenly, and he, the client, was not prepared at all.
This financing is too easy.
Liu Mingzu swallowed his saliva, "Then... let's get 30 million, uh, 30 million RMB."
"Okay." Zhou Dao readily agreed, "Go to IDG tomorrow and let's sign a financing letter of intent."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou!" Liu Mingzu held Zhou Dao's hands excitedly.
“I wish us a happy cooperation, and I wish Mr. Liu’s career will take off.” Zhou Dao patted Liu Mingzu’s arm.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Liu Mingzu was so grateful to Qin Shaoyan that he burst into tears.
"Thank me for what you are doing." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "The success of your cooperation is firstly due to Mr. Zhou's keen eye, and secondly, it depends on your own efforts."
"If you don't have the ability, no matter how much Mr. Zhou thinks about my face, I won't invest money in you."
"It's Mr. Qin who puts a high hat on others." Zhou Dao joked, "Ordinary people can't carry it. Come on, you've been fooled."
Qin Shaoyan said seriously: "Mr. Zhou, you can't say this nonsense. I, Qin Shaoyan, never lie."
Liu Mingzu also interjected: " Mr. Qin has a personal charm that is irresistible.”
Zhou Dao laughed, “That’s right, Mr. Qin’s personal charm can’t even be resisted.”
"I heard that Mr. Qin went to the United States on a business trip this time, and Bill Gates specially invited you to his home?"
"I stayed for one night." Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "But He mainly came to me to discuss business."
Zhou Dao said with great envy, "I have heard how luxurious Bill Gates' future house is, but I have never had a chance to see it. Mr. Qin, tell me about it. , it also opened my eyes."
Liu Mingzu was shocked. He knew that Qin Shaoyan and Bill Gates knew each other, but he did not expect that the two were so familiar with each other.
I was also invited to Bill Gates’ home. It seems that this relationship is unusual.
