My Age of Investment

"But we are content!"

Wang Wei put away her envious expression, and said with a smile: "Not to mention all the investment invested in Super Girl, and more than 10 million users have been harvested."

Xia Jingxing nodded and said with a smile, "Don't be a good boy even if you get cheap!

The SP service has already run through the model, and everyone knows that it is a golden rooster that lays eggs.

If it weren't for the fact that Tudou.com is the first video website in China, which helps to increase Supergirl's influence on the Internet, maybe people won't take you to make money. "

"Yes, yes, yes, I have to thank Mr. Wang of Tianyu, and Mr. Ouyangyang."

Xia Jingxing thought about it for a while, and figured out the routine of Tianyu and Hunan TV. They asked Tudou to conduct online voting in the preliminary round, and the two of them also had money to share. This was an addition.

The nature of the finals was different, and all of them were broadcast live by Hunan TV Station. Naturally, they swallowed the fat in one gulp.

If the host calls out on TV to support a certain player, please edit the text message and send it to...

Below the TV, another row of small characters slid across.

Viewers sent messages according to this number, even if they voted by SMS.

If a game receives millions or tens of millions of voting text messages, it will generate tens of millions of yuan in revenue for SMS operators, namely China Mobile and China Unicom.

The money cannot be kept alone, and even most of it must be distributed to the content providers, that is, Tianyu and Hunan TV.

Tudou is purely redundant.

Due to too many competition schedules in the preliminary competition, Tudou.com needs to build an online voting channel.

There is no need for the finals, and it is normal to be kicked aside.

"Tonight is the finals. After the end, Tudou.com won't have this ace program to attract users. What are you going to do next?"

Xia Jingxing wanted to test Wang Wei, so he asked this question.

Wang Wei nodded, "I've considered this, since two months ago, Tudou.com has been supporting users to upload original videos.

However, compared with Youtube, our content is still a bit less and not rich enough.

"

Xia Jingxing said indifferently: "Americans are rich after all, and there are many families with DV equipment, but there are much fewer in China.

However, our country has a large population base, and no matter how small the proportion of rich people is, it will not be so small. "

"Yes, I found that college students have a lot of time and like to shoot videos, so I want to hold a few video blogger contests similar to those launched by Youtube on campus."

Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "Your discovery is correct. The main force of uploading videos on YouTube is also college students. They have a lot of time, and they all have a lot of free time. They don't have too much work pressure. They are interested in doing these things."

"I think we can focus on students from media and art colleges. These people have a foundation in performance and look good. The things they shoot should be more popular with users."

Xia Jingxing smiled, "Then we have to come up with some prizes, or does Tudou also want to launch an advertising platform to give video bloggers advertising revenue?"

Wang Wei waved his hand, "It's incomparable, YouTube is backed by Facebook, with powerful technology and sufficient funds.

The 1 million US dollars you invested in us in the angel round, in the past six months, you have expanded your team, rented servers, and purchased Supergirl's online copyright, and you have spent all this money.

Even though it received more than 10 million yuan in revenue from the Super Girl SP service, Tudou's funds are not sufficient.

The money, in terms of daily operating expenses, is estimated to have to be spent in half a year.

Then we have to go into the campus and engage in some competitions.

The money in this account is estimated to be spent like running water.

After building a video website, I realized how much money this industry burns.

To be honest, I think it is too early to launch advertisements, and it will hurt the user experience very much. "

While speaking, Wang Wei glanced at Xia Jingxing, afraid that he would be unhappy because of this matter.

The matter of letting them buy the copyright of Supergirl's network, he saw Xia Jingxing's ability to "turn a stone into gold". Compared with money, he now appreciates Xia Jingxing's talent more.

At the same time, he also hopes to continue to maintain a good relationship with Xia Jingxing, so that the other party can continue to provide suggestions for the development of Tudou.com.

He has carefully studied the development history of Facebook and Youtube, and found that this guy is extremely good at formulating various marketing plans.

After confronting opponents from all walks of life, he was even more merciless, and directly greeted the vital points.

These skills or traits in Xia Jingxing are what he values ​​very much, and they are also urgently needed by Ganji.com.

"It's okay to launch the advertisement later, it's okay!"

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of short-sighted person. Even if Tudou.com doesn't make a profit within three years, I can accept it."

Hearing this sentence, Wang Wei felt a lot more at ease. He was afraid that Xia Jingxing would force him to launch large-scale advertisements quickly and make a big profit. It would really be a disaster.

"In the first half of this year, after Tudou went online, 56.com, Jingji.com, PPS... a large number of video sites were established, and many of them received angel round investment."

Wang Wei explained: "Now is the time for staking land. Whoever launches advertisements will drive users away, and whoever will kill himself."

Xia Jingxing nodded with a smile, that's what domestic entrepreneurs like to do - chasing the wind.

After the launch of Ganji.com, 2,000 classified information websites popped up across the country.

The same is true of Tudou.com, followed by a large number of video sites.

Because many people have found the wealth code, that is, Copy America, Jack Ma, Pony Horse, Robin Lee, and Charles Zhang can all succeed, why can't I?

The executives of domestic Internet companies and the sea turtles who came back from the United States are all staring at them. If there is any good idea abroad, and a novel website is born, then copy it!

A swarm of bees launched, and then produced crazy involutional consequences.

In the final analysis, the population is too large, the country is too large, and the competition is too great. The Chinese Internet was honed in this kind of Gu farm.

Many years later, Chinese entrepreneurs went overseas to Southeast Asia and Africa, and there were no disadvantages.

Based on what? It is based on experience in many battles.

"Then you have to consider financing, right? Increase the cash reserves on the company's books."

Wang Wei nodded slightly: "Yes, I was just about to mention this to you.

A number of venture capitalists have approached us, hoping that Tudou.com will open its A round of financing as soon as possible.

Softbank China and Sequoia Capital bid the highest, with pre-money valuations of US$60 million and US$50 million respectively. "

"A user is valued at five or six dollars, isn't that high?"

After Xia Jingxing heard the news, his reaction was very calm.

At present, Tudou.com is the best in the country.

In foreign countries, there are Facebook and YouTube, which are valued at tens of billions of dollars, for benchmarking, and the business model cannot be clearer.

This kind of target is extremely rare and sought-after in the market.

Wang Wei smiled wryly, "China is no different than the United States after all, we use RMB, they use US dollars, the economy determines that the value of a single user is different.

Moreover, only half a year after our establishment, the valuation has increased from 3 million US dollars to 60 million US dollars, an increase of 20 times, which can be regarded as a new domestic record. "

"I agree in principle to start the A round of financing."

Xia Jingxing looked into Wang Wei's eyes, paused and said, "However, as I told you before, because I am burdened with a non-compete agreement, Tudou needs to get Axel to invest in order to resolve some conflicts. "

Wang Wei nodded, and responded cheerfully: "That's no problem, but Axel's bid can't be too low, right?"

"Of course, it will never be lower than Softbank and Sequoia."

Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "I will contact Mr. Breyer from Axel as soon as possible, just wait for the good news!"

"Well!"

Wang Wei didn't say anything, just because he needed Xia Jingxing so much.

Moreover, he still has something to disclose. Sequoia and Softbank both asked cryptically: Was Xia Jingxing responsible for purchasing the online copyright of "Super Girl"?

Like him, other venture capital institutions who want to invest in Tudou have their eyes on Xia Jingxing's ability.

The other party can build Facebook with a valuation of tens of billions of dollars, so how difficult is it to return to China to operate an imported Tudou.com?

Venture capital institutions are also shameless, even if they are rivals, they still want to take Xia Jingxing's ride.
