Let you be a great man, not a scumbag

Seeing Jiang Cheng maneuvering among the bosses with ease, Zhang Mingming on the side cast an appreciative look at Jiang Cheng.

An 18-year-old boy has no stage fright in the face of these 40-[-]-year-old men.

I can pick them up when I need to, and even ask them some questions from time to time. This social skill is really good.

Seeing that everyone had finished talking, Zhang Mingming picked up his wine glass and said: "Everyone is here, let me toast you all first. It is my honor to sit here with all shareholders at today's party, and I am very grateful to everyone for their support of me." Trust, it can be said that without everyone’s support, Byte wouldn’t be what it is today, thank you again!”

After Zhang Yiming said this, everyone stood up and picked up their wine glasses and started to toast together.

This time Byte Wan also specially invited some photographers to record and take photos.

At this moment, the photographer on the side of the scene where several big shots were toasting hurriedly walked forward and took a few photos.

After a few people had a drink, the scene started to heat up.

Shen Napeng of Red Shirt Capital seems to be very interested in Jiang Cheng.

I saw him asking Jiang Cheng again: "Director Jiang, can you tell me your views on Byte Company?"

Looking at Shen Napeng, Jiang Cheng remembered something he said in an interview with Yangma in 18.

Red Shirt Capital is also a very powerful investment company.

Shen Napeng said that he could not understand what Zhang Yiming wanted to do at first.

Because Byte relied on Toutiao at that time.

The big data classification that Zhang Yiming did has not been done by anyone at home or abroad.

So in the first round of investment, he was cautious and did not invest.

But later he regretted it.

Jiang Cheng said with a smile: "As for Mr. Zhang, although I have not had face-to-face contact with him, I am very interested in what he wants to do, and I can say that I fully agree. I think Mr. Zhang's vision Very forward-looking.”

Zhang Mingming's expression did not change when Jiang Cheng said this. He still maintained his usual smiling look and looked like he was listening attentively.

Jiang Cheng continued: "Mr. Zhang brings together news, stories and pictures through the Internet. The most critical point is the big data recommendation that Byte is doing."

“In the past, we had to go online to find some news we wanted to know or content we were interested in. But after Byte’s big data was created, now the news conference will display this information based on everyone’s different preferences. In front of the customer, the system automatically pushes it to the user."

"This is the first of its kind in China and even abroad. To be honest, if I had been born a few years earlier, I would have definitely invested when Mr. Zhang raised funds. Unfortunately, I was still in junior high school at that time..."

After Jiang Cheng said this, everyone couldn't help but nod in appreciation.

Why don’t all the big guys present feel sorry for it!

In the past, you could become a shareholder of Byte with a few million, but now you have to spend at least tens of billions.

Byte's financing did not go smoothly when it first started, and not many investors in the industry were optimistic about it.

Shen Nanpeng on the court is one of them.

Shen Napeng then nodded and said: "Actually, when Zhang Mingming first came to me for investment, I said "on", so I missed the first financing. As an investor, I am too rational. After a lot of careful investigation, and I also visited many of its competitors, I found that all major companies want to make this short video product."

Then he pointed to Li Songbo who was wearing a Xinlang scarf next to him and said: "I remember that your company was also making this product at that time, Sohu was also making it, Xiaomi was also making it, and Penguin was also making it, so several members of our company formed a partnership After comprehensive discussions, everyone feels that the competition in this market is too fierce, and Byte is just a small company, and it is very likely that it will die on the way."

"So I gave up during the A-round investment, but after the second round of investment, I found that our estimate was wrong."

Li Songbo from Xinlang Scarf went on to say: “Although Byte is now developing steadily, there are still many problems. In addition to the platform Toutiao, the software Zouyin was only officially launched in August last year. The traffic in the first few months was also very poor. Although it has recently begun to gain popularity and the number of people downloading acne sounds is increasing day by day, the competition in short videos is still very high. After all, there are more than one company making short videos. .”

After speaking, Li Songbo said to Zhang Yiming: "Is this D round of financing going too fast?"

Zhang Yiming looked at Li Songbo and shook his head with a smile.

Originally, the D round of financing was scheduled to end at the end of the year.

However, because of Jiang Cheng's initiative, it is now several months ahead of schedule.

Zhang Mingming remembered that when the shareholders' meeting was held, Li Songbo and Shen Napeng voted against it.

Fortunately, two-thirds of the shareholders agreed, so the financing progress was advanced.

Zhang Yiming looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "I was actually hesitant when Manager Chen from Director Jiang's company talked to me. Later, Director Jiang gave me a call. I am still deeply impressed to this day."

"He told me that Zouyin is now making enemies everywhere. Do you know what we should do when we face an encirclement and suppression?"

After Zhang Yiming said this, everyone looked at him curiously.

Zhang Yiming patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder with appreciation: "In the end, Mr. Jiang told me that when we are still developing, we should not think about confronting strong enemies head-on, nor should we be like them and think about sticking out our feet. Who kicked it?"

"We just need to run forward. We just need to run faster than other people. If they can't catch up to us, we will win."

"Financing can just speed up our development. When I heard what he said, I agreed to his financing request without hesitation. Because I felt that Mr. Jiang could say this, and he It must be a very safe thing to travel with such people.”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yiming turned to Jiang Cheng and said: "To be honest, I felt very cordial when you said this. I heard these words very familiar, but I can't remember where I heard it, but if I look carefully, I thought about it and thought it made sense, it was exactly what I was thinking in my heart.”
