Chapter 636 Short Video Incubation
The first negotiation with Kuaiyifu was not smooth, mainly because of the disagreement on the acquisition price.
The seller wanted to sell at a higher price, and the buyer wanted to sell at a lower price. The acquisition funds involved were in the billions, so it was almost impossible to reach an agreement in one go.
Lv Zhichuan had prepared for a protracted war, so he was not in a hurry. After leaving Kuaiyifu, he returned to the hotel and called Jiang Qin to report the negotiation situation.
"Boss, Xiaomi Technology has also come to discuss the acquisition. I think Kuaiyifu is raising the price."
"How much?"
"They want twelve."
"Twelve? Why don't they plug in the payment license and go to the street to grab it directly!"
"They said twelve because of your face. Xiaomi Technology directly wants fifteen."
"Yanzu's face is only worth three? You look down on someone, you have to cut it in half to be worthy of me, and continue to talk."
"Okay, boss."
Lv Zhichuan hung up the phone, held the phone, and happily rushed into the bathroom.
First tell the boss the first bid of Kuaiyi Pay, then the part that is finally negotiated will all be his performance.
This is a little trick in the workplace.
As a senior worker, you are not afraid of making mistakes, but you are most afraid of making achievements but the boss does not see them.
However, thinking of his old employer Ali, Lv Zhichuan couldn't help but sigh.
Alipay is Ali's trump card project and the project with the highest development priority. In the past two years, many of Ali's investments and structural adjustments have been paving the way for Alipay or making way.
Because Ali was secretly operating long before the Alipay license was issued, it seized the opportunity and has now occupied the third-party payment market and is leading the way.
But WeChat is also entering the game, and now the boss is intervening.
Social ceiling + mobile payment, group buying and takeout + mobile payment, it is estimated that there will be another fierce battle in the future.
The most terrifying thing is that the boss still has a supply chain, or a logistics line. If mobile payment is established, Ali's position in the Internet business circle may really be shaken.
The most important thing is that although the boss keeps saying that he is not interested in e-commerce, who believes it!
"Boss Jiang, let's play cards."
"How big?"
"One."
Jiang Qin just hung up the phone, Zuo Baiqiang and Zhang Guangfa pushed the door into 302 and started calling people to join the card game.
The defense is over, and the graduation ceremony will be the day after tomorrow. The job contracts have been signed, and the thighs have been hugged. Apart from playing cards and dating, there is basically nothing to do, not to mention single dogs like Zhang Guangfa and Zuo Baiqiang who have no partners.
Jiang Qin walked over and took a look: "How about one hundred million per game? I have a lot of money to spend recently, and I want to make up for it."
"One hundred million? Then I can play after I die, please wait."
Jiang Qin was amused by Zhang Guangfa, and said casually: "Don't spit the melon seed shells on the ground, otherwise the young master will have to clean up tonight."
Young Master Cao lost ten yuan, but after hearing this sentence, he felt worse than losing ten yuan: "Today is your duty."
"?"
Jiang Qin went behind the door to take a look at the duty list, then turned to the balcony to get a broom, and while sweeping the floor, he was still thinking about the acquisition of funds.
To be honest, if it was Alipay, Jiang Qin would buy it even if he had to sell everything, but Kuaiyi Pay was not like that.
For a payment software, the most important thing is not technology, but reputation.
In this era, wanting users to bind their bank cards to third-party software and wanting them to deposit money into it is the biggest threshold in the industry.
Therefore, many companies that only do mobile payment to catch the trend cannot succeed, because users do not know whether your company is capable of handling the loss of money.
Without the support of large companies and the payment ecosystem, mobile payment is meaningless.
In other words, the most valuable thing in the entire Kuaiyifu is actually the license, and the reputation value can only be achieved by relying on group buying as a credit guarantee. From listing to being accepted, this is not a small project. Twelve is already a lion's mouth.
When Jiang Qin sent them there, he had already made an estimate in his mind. Seven is the maximum. It would be impolite to be more expensive.
After sweeping the floor, he sent a 5 to Lu Zhichuan, and then took out his mobile phone to call his mother.
The graduation ceremony of Linchuan University will be held the day after tomorrow. He wants to ask his parents if they want to join in the fun. If they do, they should leave quickly.
Yuan Youqin agreed immediately, because this is not only the graduation ceremony of his son, but also the graduation ceremony of her beloved daughter-in-law. She can't be absent.
"Your dad and I will take a car there tomorrow."
"Then I'll ask my secretary to buy you a ticket, and I'll arrange for you to go to the hotel after we get there."
"Okay, I just didn't expect four years to go by so quickly. In a blink of an eye, you've reached the legal age. When I think back now, it's still the time when you were naughty in elementary school."
"Mom, I'm graduating, not getting married."
"You're not getting married after graduation?"
"Who should I marry? I don't even have a girlfriend. Don't look at your son's handsomeness and wealth, but I'm just a poor guy who hasn't had love for four years!"
"Jiang Qin, if you get sick again, don't go home during the summer vacation. You can live wherever you love!"
Listening to the roar on the phone, Jiang Qin quickly moved the phone away from his ear, pursed his lips, and went to the bathroom to wash up. He heard the voice of Master Cao coming from the bathroom, as if he was inviting his parents to attend the graduation ceremony, crying and shouting on the phone that they should drive a Lincoln.
When the young master came out of the toilet, the card game in 302 was over.
Ren Ziqiang was lying on the bed, talking to Wang Linlin on the phone while playing with a cricket. Chaozi continued to immerse himself in the ocean of online articles, with fighting and killing in his mind.
Jiang Qin also went to bed after washing up, closed his eyes and began to cultivate sleepiness.
He forgot to kiss the little rich woman last night, and didn't sleep well, but today he was in career mode and soon fell into a sweet dream.
The next morning, the morning glow rose from the eastern sky, and the three guys in the dormitory hadn't woken up yet.
Jiang Qinqin got up from the bed, did an abdominal muscle exercise, and saw the gentle breeze outside the window and the sound of birds while washing up.
Then he went to visit Professor Yan who had a cold. It seemed that his cold had worsened and he was in low spirits.
"Professor, if you can't do it, go get an injection."
"No, I can take medicine, but I won't get an injection."
"My little rich woman loves injections the most..."
Jiang Qin poured him some water, watched him take medicine, and then read him a newspaper. After the old man fell asleep, he drove to the group and called people to hold a meeting.
"Boss, if there is nothing to do in today's meeting, I won't attend. I have to go back and catch up on some sleep."
Su Nai's eyes were still dark. She was tossed a lot by Jiang Qin's payment layout, but she didn't realize that she was alive again.
"Why is there nothing for you? It's all your business."
"Ah?"
Jiang Qin knocked on the table: "Mobile payment needs to be done, but there is another trend to catch up. The times are developing too fast. If you sleep, you may be left behind."
Sunai lay directly on the table: "It seems that I have to cultivate a group of confidants. I can't stand watching everything by myself."
"Learn how to be a leader. Some things can be left to the people below. You just need to control the general direction."
"It seems that I am not a qualified management..."
"Wipe your saliva first and start the meeting."
"Okay..."
Since the official announcement of 4G commercial use at the last Internet Conference, some trends have gradually emerged.
First of all, in terms of equipment, a number of mobile phone manufacturers have begun to develop 4G mobile phones, and HTC has directly announced that it will launch the first 4G mobile phone at the end of this year.
The three major operators are also discussing the charging of 4G traffic packages and the upgrade of signal base stations.
The 3G era is still the era of text and pictures, and various forums and web pages dominate the mainstream, but after the start of 4G, the convenience of mobile Internet will be more prominent.
The most important thing is that after the 4G tariff is lowered, video content will gradually replace text and pictures and become the mainstream media form.
In the past, you had to wait for the wind to come, but for the 4G wind, you just need to be prepared and wait for the wind to come.
During this period, Weibo has upgraded its video function and launched a support plan.
WeChat's Moments also began to support video uploads.
At the same time, a niche gif community called Kuaishou began to transform into short videos, but it is still not well-known at present.
Therefore, Jiang Qin also plans to start in-depth layout in this direction.
"Zhihu has done a short video function before, but the traffic is expensive and there is no big effect. Now we can put this section on the homepage and launch a bonus incentive plan for video bloggers."
"In addition, Jinye Toutiao has added a video section to guide users to make some editing videos, increase the creation fund, and give more exposure in terms of traffic, so that interests can drive creation."
"Nanako will control the technology, and Lu Feiyu will be the project leader. We will use the traffic of these two software to incubate this project."
Jiang Qin used Zhihu's traffic to incubate Pintuan and Jinye Toutiao, and used Pintuan's traffic to incubate community group buying, supply chain and takeout.
Now, he wants to use the traffic of Jinye Toutiao and Zhihu to incubate short videos.
It will take about one or two years for the popularization of 4G networks, which is enough to incubate a batch of fresh content and a batch of creative creators.
When that time comes, Jiang Qin will separate the video sections of Zhihu and Jinye Toutiao and launch them as new projects under his umbrella.
"I'm dying of exhaustion."
After listening to this, Sunai looked pale.
At around 3:00 p.m., Jiang Qin finished his daily work and returned to Linda from the group buying. When passing by the playground, he found that the people from the school logistics department were busy on the playground, setting up the stage, placing tables and chairs, and hanging banners.
The banner was very bright, with white characters on a red background, and it read congratulations to the 2008 undergraduates for their successful graduation.
Jiang Qin couldn't help but stop the car and looked inside through the outer iron net, with a slightly melancholy look on his face.
Four years of college life ended in a blink of an eye, good times, really fast.
The key point is that he seemed to have learned nothing. When he took out the knowledge in his mind and counted it, it was still the same as four years ago. It was amazing!
He reached out and grabbed the iron net, thinking that my little rich woman might cry tomorrow. After all, graduation is indeed a sad thing...
