Chapter 161 It’s so satisfying to spend money!
Zhuang Ziqing had an urge to collapse.
Sometimes frivolous, sometimes serious, which one is the real Yang Huan?
Just when she was full of thoughts, Yang Huan had already started the agenda.
"I am very satisfied with the development of WeChat in recent times. We have passed the time of blindly pursuing the number of users. What we are pursuing now is quality, so we must maintain this high-quality and steady growth."
Looking at several important markets around the world, except for Japan, WeChat is undisputedly ranked first in market share, whether in the United States, China, Europe, Africa, South America or Asia.
This is also related to the fact that there are no very strong competitors yet.
The only one that can be called a rival is WhatsApp, but the company is currently in a difficult situation and its development is very slow. The total number of users is only tens of millions, while WeChat has already exceeded 200 million.
Whether it is from the number of registered users, the number of monthly active users, the market share, or even the speed of user development, WeChat is undoubtedly the world's number one.
But compared with the original social leaders such as Facebook and Twitter, WeChat still has a considerable gap.
After the game department became independent, WeChat launched its own game platform and began to prepare to develop some small games on its own. These are some important measures for WeChat to generate revenue.
"By the way, Andres." Yang Huan looked at Andres Ihaan.
"Master Huan, what do you want?"
“How many users does WRAPP have now?”
"It just broke through 10 million a week ago."
Now Andreas Ihahn can hold his head high and his chest out and shrink his belly in WeChat company.
In the past three or four months, he has successfully increased the number of users of the gift card app he is responsible for tenfold, and attracted the attention of many big brands, which also makes people very optimistic about the prospects of this app.
According to Cash Harris, venture capital firms have valued WRAPP at more than 60 million pounds, and some even higher, because many investors are very optimistic about the combination of WRAPP and the traditional retail industry.
Currently, WRAPP is planning to cooperate with leading retail companies including Walmart and Carrefour. Once the deal is reached, the market value is bound to rise further.
"Well done, I'll give you another 5 million pounds budget. Keep working hard on it!"
Yang Huan's words shocked Zhuang Ziqing who was sitting opposite him.
Five million pounds just thrown away like that?
Converted to RMB, this is 60 million. No matter how rich your Yang family is, is there anyone who would throw money away like you?
If you really think you have too much money, you can take it back to your motherland and donate it to poor areas to do charity.
Is it necessary to waste like this?
Although he thought this in his heart, Zhuang Ziqing appeared calm on the surface.
Now that there is a high-level meeting, she has no right to interrupt and speak.
"And you, Lao Zhu."
"Master Huan!" Zhu Liangcheng agreed happily.
Even a small project like WRAPP can get a budget of five million, so our WeChat should get more, right?
"Twenty million pounds!" Yang Huan waved his hand.
"Thank you, Master Huan!"
Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin were so happy that they didn't know what to do.
With the 20 million pounds, there is so much they can do.
Speaking of which, Young Master Huan was really generous, giving 20 million pounds at once.
"I will probably be back in about a month. Have you figured out how to spend the money?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.
Zhuang Ziqing was so frightened.
Is this guy crazy?
Not only are you throwing money away, you're also encouraging your employees to spend it lavishly?
That's 20 million pounds, hundreds of millions of RMB, just thrown away like that?
I've seen people squandering money, but I've never seen anyone squandering like this.
At this moment, in Zhuang Ziqing's heart, Yang Huan's image has completely fallen to the bottom.
It has even been equated with a super spendthrift.
Zhuang Ziqing felt bad for Yang Huan's money, but the person involved seemed to not care at all.
After Yang Huan arranged the funds, he stood up and clapped his hands happily, "Well, all the money earned last month has been spent. It's true that when the wind blows away the eggshells, the money is gone and the people are at peace."
"It's such a pleasure to burn this money!"
Everyone in the conference room burst into laughter.
In fact, Zhuang Ziqing really misunderstood Yang Huan.
Although Yang Huan gave them the money, in reality, every time they spent money, they had to withdraw it from the finance department.
As long as the finances are under control, they won't be able to do anything wrong.
Besides, whether it is WeChat, WRAPP or the game department, most of them are in the period of expansion and recruiting talents. It is normal to spend money like water at this time.
In Yang Huan’s opinion, as long as the money is spent with purpose and value, that’s enough.
"Oh, by the way, Ziqing." Yang Huan looked at Zhuang Ziqing again.
Zhuang Ziqing's heart skipped a beat. Why was he calling my name?
Isn't this a bit too familiar?
"Do you have anything to do recently?" Yang Huan asked.
Zhuang Ziqing shook her head. She had basically finished her work.
"Okay, I just happen to be short of someone. It's inconvenient without someone to obey my orders. Why don't you just follow me?"
"Ah?" Zhuang Ziqing was dumbfounded.
Do you want me to be your maid?
"Don't worry, when we're all together, I won't eat you!" Yang Huan said with a smile.
Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin looked at each other and they were not going to do it.
After so much anticipation, the company finally got such a beautiful flower, which gave everyone in the company great hope. But you, Master Huan, wanted to pick this flower as soon as you arrived. This is too much.
Huang Ying followed you at first because you deceived the girl, but now you are trying to seduce Zhuang Ziqing?
That’s too much!
I can tolerate my uncle but I can’t tolerate my aunt!
"Master Huan, Miss Zhuang is our legal advisor. What should we do if she leaves and something happens to us?" Zhu Liangcheng asked bravely.
Who would have thought that Yang Huan would reply as a matter of course: "Then why don't you just hire another one?"
After he finished speaking, he still made a very reasonable and convincing argument.
"I feel that for a top student like Ziqing from Oxford University to stay here as a legal advisor is like using a cannon to defeat a sparrow, a waste of talent."
Hey, staying in the company as a legal advisor is a waste of talent.
If I stay by your side as a maid, then I am making the best use of my abilities?
Zhu Liangcheng's old face looked so depressed that he was about to cry.
If Zhuang Ziqing was taken away, his employees would definitely curse him to death.
“Master Huan, this…” Wang Lin was also very reluctant.
When these ** otakus see the goddess, don't they rush towards her like moths to a flame?
Who would be willing to give up at this time?
"In a word, either the twenty million pounds goes down the drain, or I give her to you!"
This left Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin dumbfounded.
Do you want money or people?
They really, really want to cry loudly.
My Master Huan, how can you bully others like this?
You have girls all around you, and you still want to snatch away the goddess we have waited so long for. You...
snort!
"Wait!" Zhuang Ziqing frowned and looked at the group of men.
How come after all they said, no one came to ask for their opinion?
Is this too chauvinistic? Do you have any respect for your fellow women?
"What's your problem?" Yang Huan looked at her.
Zhuang Ziqing was a little angry at first, but he quickly thought about it.
Didn’t I come to WeChat company just to find out about this guy’s background?
Isn't it a good opportunity to test himself if I follow him to do things?
"I want to ask, where are we going?" Zhuang Ziqing also had his own plans.
At least, she was not worried at all about being bullied by Yang Huan.
“Go back to China!”
"Back to China?" Zhuang Ziqing was a little surprised.
"Yes, what's the problem?" Yang Huan asked again.
Zhuang Ziqing rolled his eyes and said, "No, but I want to bring someone with me."
"Who?" Yang Huan was puzzled. He was the boss, so it was reasonable for him to bring someone with him, but you were just an employee.
"One of my good sisters is also going back to China. Can she come with us?"
Yang Huan looked at her strangely.
Being stared at with such a strange look in his eyes, Zhuang Ziqing felt uncomfortable for no reason and felt uneasy all over.
"No problem, sure!" After a few seconds, Yang Huan agreed.

Palmer Luckey sat in his garage, staring at a pile of worn-out headsets in front of him.
There are helmets from the 1990s that look like motorcycle helmets, and some that look like the high-tech headphones that the male protagonist wears on his ears in a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster.
Some are even more outrageous, the entire device is as big as two or three heads.
In short, there are all kinds of strange head-mounted devices.
He was only eighteen years old, but he was very familiar with the old helmets in front of him, some of which were even twenty or thirty years old.
In recent years, his greatest interest has been collecting and modifying these strange gadgets and studying them.
With a slight sigh, Palmer Luckey found his iPhone, which he had disassembled countless times.
After turning on the screen, he found that he had a missed text message.
When he opened it, he saw a message from a friend of his age.
"I'll find a way, don't worry, wait for my good news!"
After reading the text message, Palmer Larch smiled but did not reply.
He and this friend met on the Internet. They are of the same age and have similar interests, so they get along very well.
After exiting the text message and returning to the phone desktop, he clicked on an application called WRAPP.
His friend, who was the same age, prepared a gift card for him on this newfangled app.
The gift card read, "My best friend Palmer Luckey wants to conduct a research on a virtual helmet. All interested friends are welcome to top up this gift card. We will reward you handsomely if the research is successful. If the amount exceeds $10,000, we will record it and give you shares in the new company to be formed in the future."
The signature below is!
Palmer Luckey finds it funny every time he sees the gift card.
Do you think people on the Internet are that stupid?
Just because of your message, they gave you money? Even more than 10,000 US dollars?
How is this possible?
Who doesn't guard against scammers?
But Palmer Larch still felt grateful in his heart.
But just when Palmer Luckey thought it would be the same as usual, with people just watching and no one interested, he entered the gift card interface and looked down, only to find that someone had left a message.
"Virtual head-mounted device? I'm very interested. I'll invest $10,000 first and you'll give me one to try the game. If I'm satisfied, I'll fully support your research and development!" There was also an address at the end.
Palmer Larch was dumbfounded!
Is there really someone who invested money, and it’s $10,000?
When he took a closer look, he found that there was indeed $10,000 invested in this gift card.
For a moment, he was almost stunned.
But soon he realized that he had actually met a wealthy sponsor who was interested in his research project.
So he immediately threw down his phone, looked at the pile of head-mounted devices in front of him, rummaged through the entire garage, and finally found a virtual helmet he had made not long ago.
Carefully pick up the cloth and wipe it clean.
This helmet holds all his hopes.
“I hope it will work!”
He was talking to himself, more like he was trying to cheer himself up.
