Hangzhou Quwei Technology Company

Han Yi, founder and CEO of Quwei Technology, is staring at the map of Asia on the wall with a frown.

This is a company-customized map, which marks the target markets that Quwei Technology Company has entered or wants to enter.

Han Yi is a very thoughtful person. While other short video companies are either focusing on China or Europe and the United States, he has found a new way to target the company's market in other Asian countries.

In Han Yi's plan, what he wants most is the Asan market, because it is a market that is not inferior to China, but the competition is far less than that of China!

Unfortunately, it is only the end of 2014. Except for Europe and the United States, even China’s broadband foundation is not enough to support the large-scale development of mobile short video apps.

In desperation, Hanyi can only focus on island countries and stick countries, two markets with better broadband foundations and large populations...

Although these two countries are developed countries, the people are miserable and reluctant to spend money. They are euphemistically called "low desire societies."

Websites like Amazon and Tmall that make people spend money cannot develop at all in these two countries.

It’s possible to use Taobao, but unfortunately these two countries are too aggressive in cracking down on fakes. Selling fakes or knockoffs is tantamount to courting death...

Consumption in a low-desire society is so stagnant that Internet entrepreneurs from both Ugly and Chinese countries unconsciously ignore these two countries.

However, short videos are different from shopping websites.

Short video is a video sharing platform that everyone can participate in. You can play it with a mobile phone. The inability to charge is a major shortcoming of short video, but it is the biggest magic weapon to overcome the low desire society!

Facts have proved that Han Yi's strategic vision is completely correct.

Short video is a relatively advanced Internet segment industry in China, not to mention the Internet development in Bangzi countries and island countries that are far behind China.

Its novel fragmented entertainment form is just in line with the young people in Taiwan and Bangzi countries, and it has quickly attracted a large number of users in Bangzi and island countries.

In just one year, Quwei Technology Company’s Xiaoying app has gained 10 million and 4 million registered users in island countries and Bangzi countries respectively!

The combined population of the two countries is less than 200 million, and 14 million users is almost one-tenth of the population of the two countries!

Excluding non-target customers such as the elderly and children, Xiaoying App’s influence among young people in the two countries, especially among female groups, is already considerable...

However, everything has advantages and disadvantages.

Xiaoying App, an outsider, developed so well that it naturally attracted the attention of local capital, so Han Yi started to have headaches one after another.

The first is investment companies.

For the two developed countries, their domestic markets are in a saturated state, and their capital's desire for the market has far exceeded that of China.

Haven’t you seen that the island country SoftBank has been investing crazily around the world?

It’s not that they don’t want to invest locally, they just can’t find good projects!

Xiaoying app, like a firefly in the dark night, has attracted the attention of countless local investment companies.

Logically speaking, this should be a good thing, because short video itself is a money-burning project. Quwei Technology, which has not yet found a way to monetize its traffic, is also short of money. If an investment company is interested, it can solve its urgent need.

However, capital is greedy, especially countries such as island countries and stick countries where plutocrats are rampant.

Although the Xiaoying app is good, in their eyes, it is just food delivered to their door!

Therefore, in the subsequent contact negotiations, Han Yi fully realized what the greed of capital is, and finally understood why no Internet company was willing to develop in these two countries.

Taking the island country as an example, a company called Black Dragon Investment came to the Quwei Technology branch of the island country and offered to buy 60% of the shares of Quwei Technology for US$5 million!

The other party’s reason is even more bizarre, because more than 60% of the users of Quwei Technology Company are islanders, so the major shareholder of Quwei Technology Company should be an islander!

Now they are willing to give 5 million US dollars, which is already very generous...

Han Yi was shocked when he heard this offer.

He has never seen such a shameless person!

However, there is something even more shameless behind.

Faced with such a bandit company, Han Yi naturally refused without hesitation. He felt that there must be an island country investment company willing to give a high valuation.

However he was wrong.

Apart from Black Dragon Investment Company, no other investment company took the initiative to contact me.

Not only that, after Black Dragon Investment Company was rejected, not only did it have no intention of increasing the price, but it also said arrogantly, "You will definitely agree, but by then there will be no US$5 million!"

Immediately afterwards, troubles arose for the Fun Technology Island Branch.

First, an employee was rushed to the hospital while promoting his business. After calling the police, the police were very effective and caught a gangster that same day.

However, the next day, two more employees from the company were admitted to the hospital...

At this time, the person in charge of the branch also realized that something was wrong.

After asking around, I found out that my company was actually targeted by the Yamaguchi-gumi, the largest gang in the island country!

The influence of the Yamaguchi-gumi in the island country is absolutely terrifying, with more than 30,000 gang members. Just looking at the numbers, you will know how scary it is.

Being targeted by such a behemoth, the person in charge of Quwei Technology Company who was sent to the island country was almost scared to death.

At first, he just thought that someone in his company had accidentally offended the Yamaguchi-gumi. After he prepared a gift and went to apologize, he realized that it was not that he had offended the other party, but that the other party had taken a fancy to him!

The Black Dragon Investment Company is an industry owned by the Yamaguchi-gumi.

Naturally, Heisehui doesn’t understand Internet investment, but real capital bosses do!

Capital bosses are all people with good reputations and identities, so they cannot maliciously lower prices by themselves, so the value of Black Dragon Investment Company is reflected...

To put it more bluntly, Black Dragon Investment Company or the Yamaguchi-gumi are just dogs raised by the chaebol forces!

After understanding the cause and effect of the incident, the person in charge of the branch did not dare to make an unauthorized decision and immediately reported the situation to the head office.

This is just an island country, the situation is similar in Bangzi Country.

Although there is no behemoth like the Yamaguchi-gumi in Bangzi Country, various small and medium-sized gangs are even more complicated.

If Quwei Technology Company encountered a tiger in the island country, then it encountered a pack of wolves in the Bangzi Country...

It is true that Han Yi has business acumen, but he is just a serious businessman. When faced with such a completely unreasonable robber, he has no idea what to do.

Don't even think about calling the police, they are all in the same group.

It's useless to go to the local government. Quwei Technology Company is just a palm-sized Internet company, and the government doesn't look down on it at all.

As for finding the Chinese government...

Ahem, that's it for now.

Putting aside these unrealistic fantasies, Han Yi finally thought of only one way to keep his company's shares: upgrade branches in each country to subsidiary companies.

Throw the shares out to feed the wolves.

But as a result, the value of Quwei Technology Company has been greatly reduced.

And he doesn't know how big the appetite of these people is, and whether they will interfere with the company's development after joining the company...

A series of problems almost brought Han Yi, a top student who only wanted to do serious business, to collapse.

He even had the urge to change the company's strategic direction and focus on the domestic market.

Although the domestic competition is fierce and cruel, you won't be threatened by hackers every now and then!

Just when Han Yi was wavering, an unexpected phone call came.

"Su Hua? What does he want from me?"

As business friends, Han Yi and Su Hua from Slow Hand Short Video Company naturally knew each other.

Speaking of which, Han Yi entered the short video field earlier than Su Hua. It was precisely because he entered too early, the domestic foundation in all aspects was immature, and there was a giant on top.

That's right, I'm talking about Pengcheng Horse...

In fact, Tencent was the first to develop short videos in China, and relying on WeChat, Tencent Short Video has occupied more than 90% of the domestic short video market since its birth!

Don't look at slow-hand short videos, which have become a bit popular recently, but compared with Tencent's short videos, they are completely unwatchable...

It is for the above two reasons that Han Yi chose to set sail.

The topic returned to Su Hua.

Han Yi was quite envious of Su Hua.

He felt that no one in China could do Tencent short videos. He didn't expect that Su Hua was so lucky that he actually got investment from Li Yu, and also encountered a scandal involving a stupid celebrity.

With the double BUFF blessing of capital and traffic, the slow-handed short video that was originally half-dead was directly resurrected with full health...

In just a few months, Slow Hand Short Video has caught up from behind and has surpassed Xiaoying app in terms of user base, which makes Han Yi very envious!

In the blink of an eye, Han Yi had already answered Su Hua's call.

He thought Su Hua was looking for him to talk about technical or business matters. Unexpectedly, Su Hua came up and told him, "Mr. Li from Moyu Group wants to talk to you..."

Chat?

Besides investing, what else can Li Yu talk to him about?

If it were in the past, he would still be very excited when meeting a big dog like Li Yu, but now...

What is the use of Li Yu’s investment?

My company’s headquarters can hardly be saved...
