Chapter 636 Short Video Incubation
The first negotiation with Kuaiyifu was not smooth, mainly due to differences on the acquisition price.
The seller wants to sell it at a higher price, and the buyer wants it to be cheaper. Since the acquisition funds involved are in the billions, there is almost no possibility of reaching an agreement in one go.
Lu Zhichuan had prepared for a protracted war and was not in a hurry. After leaving Kuaiyi Pay and returning to the hotel, he called Jiang Qin and reported the negotiation situation.
"Boss, Xiaomi Technology has also come to discuss the acquisition. I think Kuaiyi Pay is trying to raise the price."
"How many?"
"They want twelve."
"Twelve? Why don't they just plug in the payment license and go to the main street to rob people? Damn it!"
"They said twelve was just to give you face, but Xiaomi Technology directly asked for fifteen."
"Yan Zu's face is only worth three? If you look down on someone, you have to cut it in half to be fair to me. Let's continue the discussion."
"Okay boss."
Lu Zhichuan hung up the phone, held the phone, and rushed into the bathroom happily.
First tell the boss the amount that Kuaiyi Pay quoted for the first time, and then the amount that is finally negotiated will be all his performance.
This is a little trick for the workplace.
As a senior worker, you are not afraid of making mistakes. What you fear most is that your achievements are not noticed by your leaders.
However, when thinking of his old employer Alibaba, Lu Zhichuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Alipay is Alibaba's trump card project and also the project with the highest development priority. Over the past two years, many of Alibaba's investments and structural adjustments have been aimed at paving or making way for Alipay.
Because Alibaba had been operating secretly long before the Alipay license was issued, it seized the initiative and has now occupied the third-party payment market and is leading the way.
But WeChat has also joined the game, and now the boss is getting involved.
Social ceiling + mobile payment, group buying and takeout + mobile payment, there will probably be another fierce battle in the future.
The most frightening thing is that the boss also has a supply chain, or a logistics line. If mobile payment becomes popular, Alibaba’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 him? "Boss Jiang, let's play cards."
"How big is it?"
"One piece."
As soon as Jiang Qin hung up the phone, Zuo Baiqiang and Zhang Guangfa pushed the door into Room 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 people who need to curry favor have been curried. Apart from playing cards and dating, there is basically nothing to do, not to mention single guys like Zhang Guangfa and Zuo Baiqiang who don't have a partner.
Jiang Qin walked over and took a look: "How about 100 million per game? I have a lot of money to spend recently and I want to make some money back."
"One hundred million? Then you can start playing after I die. Please wait a little longer."
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."
Master Cao lost ten dollars, but he felt worse than losing ten dollars after hearing this sentence: "It's your turn to be on duty today."
"?"
Jiang Qin went behind the door to take a look at the duty roster, then turned around and went to the balcony to get a broom. While sweeping the floor, he was still thinking about the acquisition funds.
To be honest, if it was Alipay, Jiang Qin would buy it even if he had to sell everything he had, but Kuaiyi Pay is not the case.
For a payment software, the most important thing is not technology but credibility.
In this era, wanting users to bind their bank cards to third-party software and deposit money into it is the biggest hurdle in the industry.
Therefore, many companies that try to catch the trend and only do mobile payments cannot succeed because users do not know whether your company is capable of handling the situation if they lose money.
Without the support of large companies and the establishment of a payment ecosystem, mobile payment is meaningless.
In other words, the most valuable thing in the entire Kuaiyi Payment is actually the license. The credibility can only be built up by relying on group buying as a credit guarantee. From listing to being accepted, this is no small project. Twelve is already a huge price to pay.
Jiang Qin had already made an estimate in his mind when he sent them there. Seven was the maximum, and any more would be impolite.
After sweeping the floor, he sent a 5 to Lu Zhichuan, then took out his cell phone and called his mother.
Linchuan University's graduation ceremony 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 as soon as possible.
Of course Yuan Youqin agreed immediately, because this was not only her son's graduation ceremony, but also her beloved daughter-in-law's graduation ceremony, and she couldn't be absent.
"Your father and I will take a bus there tomorrow."
"Then I'll ask my secretary to buy you a ticket and arrange for you to go to the hotel after we arrive."
"Okay, but I didn't expect four years to go by so fast. In the blink of an eye, you have reached the legal age. When I think back now, it's still like when you were naughty in elementary school."
"Mom, I'm graduating, not getting married."
"Not getting married after graduation?"
"Who should I marry? I don't even have a girlfriend. Don't be fooled by the fact that your son is handsome and rich, but I am just a poor guy who has never had love for four whole years!"
"Jiang Qin, if you get sick again, don't go home during the summer vacation. You can live wherever you want!"
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. Then he heard the voice of Young Master Cao coming from the toilet. It seemed that he was inviting his parents to attend the graduation ceremony, and he was crying and shouting on the phone for them to drive a Lincoln.
By the time the young master came out of the bathroom, the card game in Room 302 was over.
Ren Ziqiang was lying on the bed, dreaming about crickets while talking on the phone to Wang Linlin. Chaozi continued to immerse himself in the ocean of online literature, his mind full of fighting and killing.
After washing up, Jiang Qin went to bed and closed his eyes to try to fall asleep.
He forgot to kiss the rich lady 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, but the three guys in the dormitory were still asleep.
Jiang Qinqin got up from the bed, did some abdominal exercises, and then while washing up, she saw a gentle breeze outside the window and the sound of birds singing.
Then he went to visit Professor Yan who had a cold. His cold seemed to have worsened and he looked listless.
"Professor, if that doesn't work, just go get an injection."
"No, I can take medicine, but I definitely don't want injections."
"My little rich lady loves injections..."
Jiang Qin poured him some water, watched him take his medicine, and then read a newspaper to him. After the old man fell asleep, he drove to the group buying website and called a meeting with everyone.
"Boss, if I have nothing to do in today's meeting, I won't attend. I need to go back and catch up on some sleep."
Sunai still had dark circles under her eyes, as she was troubled by Jiang Qin's payment arrangement, but she had no idea that she was alive again.
"How come none of this has anything to do with you? It's all your business."
"ah?"
Jiang Qin tapped the table and said, "We have to make mobile payments, but we have to catch up with the trend. The times are developing too fast. If we take a nap, we might be left behind."
Sunai leaned directly on the table: "It seems that I have to cultivate a group of confidants. I can't stand watching over everything by myself."
"Learn how to be a leader. Leave some things to the people below you, and you just need to control the general direction."
"It seems that I am not a qualified manager..."
"Wipe your saliva first and start the meeting."
"OK……"
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 an era of text and pictures, with various forums and web pages dominating the mainstream. However, after the start of 4G, the convenience of mobile Internet will become more prominent.
The most important thing is that after the 4G tariff standards are lowered, video content will gradually replace text and pictures and become the mainstream media form.
In the past, you had to wait for opportunities, but with 4G, you just need to be prepared and wait for the opportunity to come.
During this period, Weibo has upgraded its video function and launched a support plan.
WeChat’s Moments also started to support video uploading.
At the same time, a niche gif community called Kuaishou began to transform into short videos, but it is still not well-known.
Therefore, Jiang Qin also plans to start in-depth planning in this direction.
"Zhihu has had a short video feature before, but the traffic was expensive and there was no significant effect. Now we can move this section to the homepage and launch a bonus incentive plan for video bloggers."
"In addition, 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 profit can drive creation."
"Nanako will be in charge of the technical aspects, and Lu Feiyu will be the project leader. We will use the traffic of these two softwares to incubate this project."
Jiang Qin used Zhihu’s traffic to incubate group buying and Tonight’s Headlines, and then used group buying’s traffic to incubate community group buying, supply chain and food delivery.
Now, he wants to use the traffic from Tonight’s Headlines and Zhihu to incubate short videos.
It will take about one or two years for 4G networks to become popular, which is enough time to incubate a batch of fresh content and a group of creative creators.
By that time, Jiang Qin will separate the video sections of Zhihu and Toutiao and launch them as new projects under his umbrella.
"I'm dying of exhaustion."
After hearing this, Sunai's face turned pale.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, 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, arranging tables and chairs, and hanging banners.
The banner was very bright, with white letters on a red background, and it read "Congratulations to the Class of 2008 for their successful graduation."
Jiang Qin couldn't help but stop the car and looked inside through the outer iron fence, looking a little disappointed.
Four years of college life are over in the blink of an eye. Good times go by really fast.
The key is that he seems to have learned nothing. When he took out the knowledge in his head 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 he didn't know if my little rich woman would cry tomorrow. After all, graduation is indeed a sad thing...
