Riding on the wave of enthusiasm of the "two cool disputes", the name Hongshu began to enter everyone's attention.
Overnight, Hongshu APP exploded in popularity, its downloads grew rapidly, and it quickly topped the weekly list of picture software downloads.
The next day, Jiang Xiaoguo went to work at the company and found several people on the bus holding mobile phones with their heads down, using red stubble software to identify pictures.
When she arrived at the company, she saw Wendy sitting at the front desk, laughing while scrolling through her mobile phone. She walked up to her curiously and said, "What good thing happened to you to make you laugh so happily?"
Wendy raised her head and glanced at Jiang Xiaoguo, then lowered her head and continued to browse her phone, thinking to herself: "I said she had plastic surgery, but I still didn't believe it..."
"what?"
"My ex-boyfriend's ex-girlfriend showed off her cool stuff on Weibo all day long, and she kept saying that she was all natural. Look at her chin..."
Wendy handed the phone to Jiang Xiaoguo and asked her to look at the photos on the phone.
Jiang Xiaoguo glanced at it and was a little surprised: "Red stubble?"
"I will send the identification results of the red stubble to Weibo right now to expose her true face!" Wendy said to herself.
"Is red stubble so popular now?" Jiang Xiaoguo murmured.
"Yes, a lot of people are playing red stubble now... Done it!" Wendy said while posting a Weibo, then put away her phone and said to Jiang Xiaoguo with a gossipy face: "You heard Well, our company has a new executive director."
"New director?" Jiang Xiaoguo asked.
"Well, this new executive director is said to be an executive recruited from Gaoding by Mr. Su himself. He is very capable and is responsible for handling high-risk investment projects." Wendy whispered.
"Really? Then doesn't his position overlap with Mr. Zhou's, and Mr. Zhou also agrees?" Jiang Xiaoguo thought of more things than she did.
"I don't know about that." Wendy shook her head, and then said mysteriously: "But I also heard that this new director used to be Mr. Zhou's assistant, and he seemed to have some conflicts with Mr. Zhou... …”
"You also know this?" Jiang Xiaoguo asked in surprise.
"I heard this too. As for whether it's true or not, I don't know." Wendy said with a smile.
"hehe."
Jiang Xiaoguo laughed and walked around the company and found that many colleagues were playing red stubble software or paying attention to red stubble news.
Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but reveal a smile on her face - she finally didn't cause her friend to lose money on his investment.
After all, she was the one who introduced the red crop project, so she would feel uneasy if she lost money.
But now it seems that this investment will not only not lose money, but will make a lot of money.
"Congratulations, the red crop is popular! You should be able to make a lot of money from this investment. How are you going to thank me?" Jiang Xiaoguo sent a message to Yang Chen.
"Invite you to dinner?" Yang Chen.
"It's just a meal, this is so insincere!!" Jiang Xiaoguo.
"Then how do you want me to thank you?" Yang Chen.
"Let's be practical! Hehe..." Jiang Xiaoguo.
"I'll give you a big red envelope, do you want it?" Yang Chen.
"Okay, okay!" Jiang Xiaoguo.
"Then...[picture]!" Yang Chen.
"I don't want pictures, I want red envelopes!!!" Jiang Xiaoguo.
"Haha, I will give you a red envelope after I sell my shares. Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. Be careful these days and be careful of your boss causing trouble for you." Yang Chen.
"Why does the boss want to trouble me?" Jiang Xiaoguo.
"If you introduce such a good project like Hongstuft to me, who will your boss bring to trouble if he doesn't trouble you?" Yang Chen.
"No way?" Jiang Xiaoguo.
"It depends on how serious your boss is..." Yang Chen.
Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but feel a sudden shock when she saw the message from Yang Chen.
At this moment, Zhou Xun's voice came from behind her: "Jiang Xiaoguo, come to my office."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou..."
Jiang Xiaoguo's face suddenly fell, and she entered Zhou Xun's office with the mood of rushing to the execution ground.
Fortunately, Zhou Xun only asked her about the situation of the red stubble and did not blame her.
After all, he was the one who decided whether to shed the red crop in the first place, so he can't blame anyone else.
After Jiang Xiaoguo left the office, Zhou Xun immediately called Yang Chen.
"Mr. Yang, congratulations on making a great investment."
"Haha, I have to thank Mr. Zhou for showing mercy, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten this opportunity." Yang Chen said with a smile.
"Let's not beat around the bush, I'll tell the truth. I want to buy the red crop shares from Mr. Yang, but I don't know if Mr. Yang is willing to take action." Zhou Xun said straight to the point.
"Whether or not to take action depends on whether Mr. Zhou's price is appropriate." Yang Chen said with a smile.
"As far as I know, Mr. Yang spent a total of 5 million to acquire the shares of Hongstubble. I am willing to pay ten times the price, 50 million, to acquire the shares of Mr. Yang." Zhou Xun thought for a moment and calmed down. typical.
The changes in the Internet market are astonishing.
In just two days, a company will go from no one paying attention to being sought after by thousands of people, and its valuation will increase tenfold.
This is not so incredible.
"50 million, Mr. Zhou's bid is indeed sincere. However, ten minutes ago, I just received the quotations from Lan He and Gao Ding. Do you want to hear it, Mr. Zhou?" Yang Chen said.
Ax Company holds 65% of the shares of Red Stubble and is the majority shareholder of Red Stubble Studio.
All quotations for red stubble will be sent directly to him.
"Lan He and Gao Ding..."
Hearing Yang Chen's words, Zhou Xun's heart sank.
Lanhe and Gaoding are also well-known venture capital companies in Shenzhen City, and these two companies are stronger than Pulling Capital in terms of qualifications and funds.
Zhou Xun also worked for Gao Ding for a while and was Gao Ding's youngest investment director. Later, he planned to go it alone and founded Pulling Capital with Su Hang.
"Lanhe's market valuation of Red Crop is 85 million, while Gao Ding's valuation is... 100 million!" Yang Chen said calmly.
This is only their first round of quotations, which are mostly tentative and still far from the real bottom price.
As for those companies whose quotations were lower than 80 million, Yang Chen simply passed them out.
There is no sincerity, what should I do if I keep it?
"I understand. Thank you Mr. Yang for informing me. I'll think about it again." Zhou Xundao.
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Zhou can think about it slowly." Yang Chen smiled.
End the call.
Yang Chen called Yang Jiaen to the office and asked, "How are you preparing for what I asked you to do?"
"Mr. Yang, I have contacted more than 50 millionaire Vs and three Internet public relations companies. They can start working at any time." Yang Jiaen said immediately.
"Very good, let them start." Yang Chen nodded.
Although popular software became popular overnight, it is not popular enough.
He planned to add fire to the red stubble and make it burn even brighter.
"Okay." Yang Jiaen nodded.
Soon after, the big Vs who had received orders started to advertise for celebrities one after another. At the same time, there were also a large number of trolls advertising celebrities on Weibo comments, short video platforms, and major forums. Carry out publicity.
For a time, the number of downloads of red-cropped software exploded again.
Data is a very important reference for the valuation of Internet companies.
The growth in downloads will inevitably affect the valuation of Hongshu.
In the afternoon, Pulling Capital, Lanhe and Gaoding gave a new round of valuations, which were 120 million, 125 million and 130 million respectively.
"This price should be close to their bottom line."
Looking at the prices offered by several venture capital companies, Yang Jiaen's eyes were filled with fire.
"It's almost the same, but I think there's still room for improvement." Yang Chen smiled slightly and asked again: "Have you found the star I asked you to find?"
It’s not enough to just have big Vs and online influencers. He plans to find a few celebrities to help with advertising.
Let this fire burn completely.
"We got in touch. This is the quote they made." Yang Jiaen nodded, took out a report and put it in front of Yang Chen.
This is a quote from celebrities advertising on Weibo.
Yang Chen took a look and couldn't help but speak.
Good guy, he is really a good guy!
There are nearly a hundred celebrities on this quotation, including those from the first, second and third tiers. Among them, the highest asking price is over one million.
There are many companies and factories whose annual income does not reach one million.
And they just sent a few pictures and a few advertising slogans, and they dared to ask for so much money!
No wonder people use Shuang as a unit of measurement.
They are still ruthless in making money!
Yang Chen thought for a moment and ticked a few people's names.
One first line, three second line, six third line.
Most of the fans of A-list celebrities are the same, so just one is enough.
"Just these few." Yang Chen said.
"Okay, I'll contact them right away."
Yang Jiaen took the quotation and left.
At night, Dabaobao updated his Weibo message:
"Those keyboard warriors who said I had plastic surgery, come and take a look."
"[Picture][Picture][Picture]"
“Finally, my resentment is gone, thank you @红草.”
…
Seeing Da Baobao's updated Weibo, Yang Jiaen looked curious and said, "Boss, has she really not had plastic surgery?"
"How would I know?"
Yang Chen rolled his eyes. Sure enough, gossip is a woman's nature.
"Whether she has had plastic surgery or not, it has nothing to do with me. That is Xiao Ming's business...as long as the advertising effect is achieved!"
Da Baobei is one of the actresses with the largest number of fans on Weibo. After her Weibo update, the popularity of the red crop has once again increased to a level, almost reaching the level of hot discussion on the entire Internet.
the next day.
The three venture capital companies have sent over their latest quotations for red crop.
150 million, 155 million, 160 million!
Seeing their quotation, Yang Chen also had a smile on his face.
"The potential of the red crop has been almost exhausted, and it will be difficult to improve it in a short period of time... Invite the heads of the three companies to negotiate!" Yang Chen said.
Li Jiacheng once said, don't make the last copper plate.
Just accept it as soon as you see fit.
"Okay." Yang Jiaen said.
One drawback of mind reading is that it can only be activated face to face.
It's impossible to read the other person's thoughts through a mobile phone.
After being notified, the heads of the three venture capital companies quickly came to Ax Company with their respective teams.
Yang Chen used mind-reading skills to read their respective thoughts, and then handed over the negotiation matters to Yang Jiaen.
After several hours of negotiations, Gaoding Group finally took over 65% of Yang Chen's red crop shares at a price of 115 million.
As for whether Gao Ding can continue to make money after acquiring these shares, that is none of his business.
“A pleasure to work with.”
Yang Chen shook hands with Gao Ding's investment director, with a smile on his face.
It cost 5 million to acquire the shares of Red Crop, and about 10 million to promote it, and then sold it for 115 million, making a small net profit.
The whole process took only three days.
Yang Chen was naturally very satisfied with this.
This kind of money-making speed is beyond your reach even if it’s fun.
