Chapter 1262 Lao Tan has no money
Just as Shang Fuhai's thinking was running around, Yuanbao was unhappy. She picked up her white little hand and shook it in front of Shang Fuhai's eyes, shouting: "Hey, Dad, are you buying it? If you don't buy anything, I won't play with you anymore."
"Oh, Yuanbao, Dad apologizes to you, then what are you selling here?" Shang Fuhai looked at Yuanbao with a smile and played with her.
Yuanbao pointed to the plastic product model placed all over the floor and said softly: "Dad, look, I have tomatoes, eggplant, pumpkin, and strawberries here. I have a lot of things to sell, what do you want to buy?"
Shang Fuhai picked up the tomatoes the size of an ingot fist and asked her: "Then how do you sell this tomato?"
"Well, um...8 yuan, tomatoes cost 8 yuan!" Yuanbao also stretched out his thumb and index finger and gestured, which was quite smart.
Shang Fuhai said with an exaggerated expression on his face: "It's too expensive. A tomato costs 8 yuan. If not, you can get a little cheaper."
"It can't be cheaper..." She said with a pout. When she was about to refuse her father ruthlessly, Yuanbao was anxious when he saw him standing up and leaving.
"6 yuan, I can give you 6 yuan, it's no longer cheaper." Yuanbao said anxiously. She was really immersed in it, and tears burst out from her little eyes.
Zhou Xiumei carried her grandson Jinbao from the second floor bedroom. Looking at her granddaughter's pitiful look, she glared at her son Shang Fuhai and said, "Fuhai, what's wrong with you?"
Shang Fuhai thought, Mom, I'm very unfair too!
When Xu Fei came back tonight, Yuanbao went straight to complain to her mother, saying that her father bullied her and would not play with her.
Xu Fei made him stare at him with fierce eyes and complain.
"Dahai, I didn't even see it. You are so capable now. You even bullied your daughter." Xu Fei said.
Shang Fuhai looked at Yuanbao who was sticking his tongue and slitting his eyelids at him, and he didn't know who to tell him about his injustice.
"Naked kid, your father, I will beat you hard sooner or later." Shang Fuhai muttered.
Turning around was a new day, and there was only one day left before Double Eleven. Shang Fuhai felt more and more calm. It felt like Double Eleven had nothing to do with him.
This is a bit nonsense.
Looking at his son who stood up on the crib fence, Shang Fuhai carried him out, kissed him on his soft cheek, and asked him: "Son, what do you want to do, tell me about it for your father."
Zhou Xiumei, who was sitting on the sofa next to her and watching short videos of a photographer on her mobile phone, curled her lips directly: "Fuhai, Jinbao doesn't know how to speak yet. If you can't stay at home, just carry him out and bask in the sun."
Shang Fuhai thought, it was OK, his mother's proposal was good.
"Mom, go out together!" Shang Fuhai asked her.
Then he said, "After these two days, have you returned to Shangjiazhuang the day after tomorrow? I haven't been back for such a long time. I have to buy some more things for the villagers in the country. Do you also choose one of them?"
Zhou Xiumei looked up at him and said, "Your father told me that he bought a lot of things when he returned to Shangjiazhuang last time. What else do you buy?"
Shang Fuhai seriously disagreed with this point of view. He showed a bright smile on his face and said, "Mom, can that be the same? That's the intention of my dad and you. Now I'm going to buy some."
"You kid, please do whatever you want. Just buy it. The air outside is not good, and you may encounter some germs. Don't take Jinbao out. I'll watch him at home." When Zhou Xiumei thought about the outside environment, she didn't want to take her grandson out.
Hearing his mother's statement, Shang Fuhai did not refute and put down his son who had just been holding for a while. He said, "Okay, then I'll go out."
After saying that, he waved to his son and said, "Goodbye Jinbao."
...
When Shang Fuhai was busy purchasing the things he brought back to his hometown in large quantities, he was far away from Jifen Culture Communication Co., Ltd. in the Magic City. After two and a half months, something went wrong.
Qin Liang called his best friend Li Lei to the chairman's office.
"Dr. Qin, are you looking for me?" Li Lei asked him.
Qin Liang nodded with a gloomy face: "Old Li, are we out of money again?"
The word "Yu" is really good.
When Li Lei heard his statement, he almost jumped up at that time. What does this mean?
"Mr. Qin, didn't we just finished financing in August? We raised 210 million US dollars this time, which is equivalent to more than one billion yuan in RMB. Why are we running out of money?" Li Lei couldn't figure it out.
However, he knew that the company had recently increased the recommendation increase for the product "QuToutiao". It was a variety of channels. Wherever it could advertise, the business department of Jifen Culture Communication Co., Ltd. went to negotiate, just to hype the influence of "QuToutiao" in the shortest time and to reach a new level.
Speaking of this, Li Lei was stunned. He looked at Qin Liang with disbelief: "Mr. Qin, don't tell me that we spent more than one billion on advertising in more than two months?"
He thought this was a joke, but Qin Liang, opposite him, nodded firmly and said with a serious look: "It's true, but after spending money, we have gained a lot. Qutoutiao's market ranking among similar APP products has now entered the top three, which has a significant improvement over the previous few months."
"But it's impossible to spend more than 600 million yuan a month!" Li Lei still couldn't accept this fact.
Qin Liang said: "Old Li, listen to me, I didn't spend all the money I raised last time, but I spent more than half of it. The remaining 40% can't hold on according to our previous plan. I plan to start another round of capital increase and then start listing in the middle of next year."
Li Lei really had nothing to say, so he asked Qin Liang: "How much does it plan to increase the capital this time?"
Qin Liang thought for a while and said, "It's 100 million yuan. I don't plan to make it known to everyone anymore. Let's increase the capital among the existing shareholders. Let's see who is willing to pay the money. If you don't want to, don't force it."
Li Lei thought about it and agreed to this plan.
He knew very well that although he and Qin Liang were good friends and best friends, he could not stop Qin Liang from being involved in the essential issue of interests.
Instead of having a fight between two people and not knowing what consequences it will cause, it is better to go along with the development and take a look.
Just as Qin Liang said just now, Qutoutiao is now ranked second in the OPPO application mall, and the download volume in VIVO application mall is already ranked third, and it is almost impossible to surpass the second place.
After this decision, the rest was natural. Qin Liang said: "Old Li, you are responsible for calling Shunwei Capital, Xiaomi, Guangyuan Capital, Qingshan Venture Capital and asked if they would like to increase their capital. Is there any problem?"
What Li Lei can say is just a matter of making a phone call to communicate, and he must not be able to refuse.
"Then what are left, Tencent and Haifei, these are not only rich, but also recommended resources." Li Lei asked.
Qin Liang pointed at himself with a back finger and said, "I will fight these."
"Okay, I'll go back and call immediately, but should we postpone the next step of advertising investment? After all, the money was not blown by the strong wind." Li Lei said to Qin Liang when he left the door.
Qin Liang nodded: "I will think about it carefully."
But before he finished speaking, he would consider continuing to increase his investment in product advertising. He also considered which celebrity to ask for an endorsement for Qutoutiao. It must be the kind of big-name stars with enough traffic. Correspondingly, the advertising endorsement fee will be higher at that time.
But he doesn't care. Before the product is launched, he tries every means to increase the traffic of "QuToutiao". Just wait until the eve of the listing, and make its data look good, otherwise what would you do if you raise so much money?
Could it be that after taking it back, it will be put in the bank for interest?
As soon as Li Lei left, Qin Liang called Shang Fuhai himself.
To talk about the best platforms for traffic diversion, the industry is recognized by Alibaba, Tencent, Toutiao and Paike Short Videos.
The rest are also, such as iQiyi, which is also a short video, or Weibo on social platforms, etc., but compared with the previous few, to put it plainly, it has declined.
Qin Liang now has one idea. He must make "Qutou" more valuable in a short period of time, and then create momentum and go public.
The only way to make Qutoutiao more valuable is to attract traffic and expand capacity.
“Doududududu…”
After dialing Shang Fuhai's phone number, Qin Liang felt a little nervous when he listened to the blind voice waiting for the connection.
He thought that he would still help him with Haifei Capital a while ago?
This is really hard to say.
Qin Liang was about to hang up the phone and call Shang Fuhai again, the phone was connected, and the messy music and noises arose from the earpiece.
"Dr. Qin, why did you call me when you have time?" Shang Fuhai was really curious about Qin Liang's call. They didn't usually contact each other, and they knew the conflicts between them.
But one thing is correct, their interests are consistent.
He had just brought Sun Qingde and Gao Yubao out and chose some of the goods together. He bought too many of them and could not be transported by a shopping cart. Shang Fuhai simply asked Sun Qingde and Gao Yubao to pay back and forth and then transport the goods out.
Qin Liang's age is there, and he has been in the system. He is a thick-skinned person. He said: "Dong Shang, I'm sorry to bother you today, but I do have two very important things that I want to discuss with you."
"Say!" Shang Fuhai said directly, he had no extra nonsense.
