Salted Fish’s Self-help Strategy

Chapter 1004: Worries about talent

Seeing Chu Yuanxi running so fast, Yuan Mu thought he had done something wrong. What is even more exaggerated is that she hurriedly dealt with the matter at hand and rushed over, thinking that she could catch up. How could she, the CFO, not participate in the well-off financing? In the end, I didn't expect that it would be just such a short time. It is said that even the cutscene has not been finished, and the greeting has not ended. As a result, Li Jingfei has already rolled?

  

   This is obviously a broken rhythm, right?

  

   In fact, Chu Yuanxi sent Li Jingfei away very simply in a few words. There was no big battle or the expected earth-shattering, because he himself was not particularly enthusiastic.

  

   Chu Yuanxi is someone who has experienced N many times of financing. He has an intuition about investment and financing. The intuition in this case is that Sun Dasheng has never invested in a convenience store...

  

   You must know that the island country is the originator of new-style convenience stores. There is one new-style convenience store in the country, including Xiaokang, which does not imitate the island country. The difference is nothing more than pure copying, or alternative copying. Copying like Xiaokang's divergent copy, copying out their own things, is rare.

  

   But Sun Dasheng has been watching the big development of the convenience store industry in the island country for so many years. He has never invested. The only thing that touches is Gopuff, a delivery service startup in the United States. Why did he suddenly want to invest in a well-off? Don't say that the Dasheng is optimistic about local life and other nonsense! The rationality of this reason is less than 10%, and the possibility is even lower.

  

   If Sun Dasheng were the coal bosses at the time, Chu Yuanxi's interest would definitely be much higher, but he wasn't. Then why he became well-off had to be a clear question.

  

Therefore, if Sun Dasheng is willing to meet and talk for five minutes and ten minutes, Chu Yuanxi will definitely show a positive attitude. If it fails, let’s not talk about it. Sun Dasheng’s coffee is here and there is the possibility of telling lies in person. Not big.

  

   But since Sun Dasheng is unwilling to come forward, the $800 million is very strange. At present, the money is not small. As far as Chu Yuanxi knows, after wework was taken over by Sun Dasheng in October last year, his biggest investment was $1.5 billion to lead the shells. The large-scale projects that were common in the past have become quite rare.

  

   So 800 million dollars is definitely worth seeing Dasheng Sun in person, even if it is not convenient for him.

  

   Based on the above reasons, Chu Yuanxi felt that he was not very interested, and the value of Li Jingfei's meeting was not even as good as the conversation with Liang Kenian that was planned in the morning.

  

   He not only proposed to start the deployment of the data center immediately, but also had other valuable judgments, such as focusing on the cyclical industry recovery. The reason why the cyclical industry is called cyclical is that it will go up when the time comes, which means that the value of many assets must be revalued.

  

   For example, the raw materials of melt blown cloth are currently an important asset, and the price has skyrocketed more than ten times. Sinopec has decided to build ten new production lines immediately and may not be able to buy enough demand.

  

   As the country conveys the spirit at any time, and then promotes the new and old infrastructure, a large number of cyclical industries will pick up. This is also the original intention of releasing water.

  

   It's just that the question before Chu Yuanxi is where does Xiaokang's money come from? The data center is a huge amount of expenditure. A center of hundreds of millions cannot run. Even BAT has to invest in national science and technology, that is, apply for special funds, such as Penguin Qianzhou, Ali Zhangbei, Baidu Jinling, and so on.

  

   But it is impossible for Xiaokang to apply for the first center, it would be too arrogant. You must first get results and prove that you are indeed in this business. There are serious needs and can produce economic and social benefits. It is much easier to apply later.

  

   Moreover, the national investment in science and technology is politically significant. Talking about people means money that must be spent. If a well-off society does not apply, it will be given to others, so why bother? So if the deployment speed is fast, maybe the country's policies can catch up in the future.

  

   I just want to be really beautiful, and it can be achieved with money, but the problem is that there is no money for the time being.

  

   This is the reason why there has been no deployment before because there is no financing yet. Why is financing? In order to use money later, the correct use is the fundamentals through which financing can be passed. Therefore, a reasonable growth pace for Xiaokang is to first explain the purpose of financing, then start collecting money, then use the money received to cash out the previous plan, and finally start the next round of financing.

  

   How smooth is this development rhythm?

  

The data center requires a huge amount of funds, which is one of the main purposes of the B round of financing. Now Chu Yuanxi's easiest way is to borrow from the Pakistani people and deal with it as a bridge loan. The interest is recorded in equity instead of cash, but this financing rhythm That's not right. When the time comes for public financing, people say that you have already got this money through debt financing. Why is it still in the equity financing plan? Is it to use our money to pay off debts?

  

   This is more difficult to answer positively. Although everyone knows the truth, there is no way to tell. In terms of normal enterprises, it is of course a good thing to owe money. Correspondingly, repayment is not. Otherwise, why did Shenchuan start to build its own electronic mall?

  

   It’s just two evils, so let’s borrow it first...

  

   For Chu Yuanxi, this operation was nothing more than a left-handed-right-handed affair. In contrast, it takes a long time for someone to handle the actual deployment of the data center. The speed cannot be slow, and various expenses must be lowered. Fortunately, although the deployment has not been done, people have been recruited long ago, and have been studying plans, including site selection, procurement, local network conditions, and even decoration. I have also stepped on the bottom of it, and I have already done what should be done in the early stage, so the overall should be okay.

  

   Therefore, when Chu Yuanxi decided to start the deployment, it was actually just a matter of operating the account for him, plus sending an email. But the opening of Milestone 5 takes a lot of thought, because there is not much that can be done.

  

   This milestone is plagued by disasters. Chu Yuanxi frowned every time he thought of it, and his eyebrows became thinner. From the time he resumed work after the holiday, he couldn't afford to drag him because of others.

  

   But according to the original plan, Milestone 5 has several major events in sequence. First, promote the expansion of the two major cities in Eastern Guangdong Province, which is the process of re-engraving Milestone 4 of the Xiaokang Emperor, and began to put a lot of bicycles. Then is the first step to start the quality life plan, to determine the foundry and products. Finally, in the latter part of the milestone, take out the latent version of the well-off social, and prepare to relay with milestone 6.

  

   But now it is not advisable to expand stores and bicycles. Although the cycling data of the shared bicycles has been restored, to buy bicycles, you have to start shop and enclose the site before you can invest. But the actual situation is that even recruiting new store staff for training is difficult.

  

   And Xiaokang has now turned over the community control application, which already contains some of the social functions of the latent version, so immediately started to push his own functions, which is of little significance, especially since there is no clear social networking in this version, only functions with social attributes.

  

   There is also an online value, nothing more than commissioning operations such as paid delivery of health currency equivalents between users, and second-hand goods transactions in the community. These have corresponding gameplay in the latent version of social networking, and play the central role of going out of the store. For example, second-hand goods are sent directly to the store by the seller after the transaction is confirmed through online stalls, and buyers pick up by themselves, etc., which can stimulate social interaction and It can stimulate the currency circulation, but it will also cause direct contact. At present, it is definitely not enough, and it is impossible to mention it.

  

   Therefore, we can only prioritize the quality of life plan. Quality of Life will be a large-scale plan covering many products and many SKUs in the future, but everything is difficult at the beginning, and there will be only a few models at the beginning.

  

   The problem that Chu Yuanxi has a headache now is, since she can't do anything else, should she speed up her quality of life? In the original plan, the brand was first established, and then the supply chain was integrated. Just like the three major snack food e-commerce companies, they mainly rely on the supply chain to do OEM OEM, and finally establish their own factories and production lines to solve some of them. Product self-sufficiency.

  

   In other words, the first step is to find an OEM and monitor the quality.

  

   But now Chu Yuanxi had chosen to skip this step and build the factory directly if it wasn't for lack of people. The reason is not that it is cheap to build a factory now and asset prices are low, but that it is difficult to sort out the supply chain and to find OEMs. This is one of the reasons why this milestone has always been.

  

What the foundry is lacking is the resumption of work, and what Chu Yuanxi lacks is an expert in the food and beverage field. Thinking of the expert, he thought of Duan Luting, and then handily sent a WeChat: "Have you completed the transaction? When will Mido complete it? Your integration?"

  

   Duan Lu Ting quickly replied: "Why does it take a month? I really don't care, but it is impossible to drive all my relatives away from the acquisition yesterday."

  

At this time, Chu Yuanxi of course knew that Tianxianpei had been acquired for more than ten days. It was a contract signed with a small rehabilitation worker before and after. Therefore, he said: "Not necessarily. If Ali comes to the acquisition, you will not need it for a week. We have finished integrating you. It can be seen that Mido is still not working. Did you agree on how long to complete the integration when you signed the merger?"

  

   Duan Lu Ting didn't say a word for a long time, as if to check the contract again. Chu Yuanxi asked whether you will succeed or not? Shouldn't this be remembered in the mind of reading the calendar every day?

  

   But it is also possible that other people in his family are negotiating. All the unreasonable aspects of the family business can find rationality, so there is nothing to say.

  

   Thinking of this, Chu Yuanxi suddenly had an idea in his mind, do you want to have a meeting with the senior management of Mido? Or wait patiently for the other party to complete the integration, and then check for leaks yourself?

  

  Of course, Xiaokang does not completely count on these people. The opening of Milestone 5 means the opening of recruitment. The previous non-expansion is only temporary. Entering a new milestone must be the first to recruit people. It's just that it is more difficult to carry out normal social recruitment.

  

   If you change to a normal state, it is easier to find an expert, because you don’t need much in the early stage of a well-off period. The main focus of quality life is the high-sugar population. This group not only has a high tolerance for prices, but also has different requirements. Health is the first, but the taste is not. Drinks are slightly more flavorful than white water, and food is also the same. It doesn't need to be so delicious, it is a very good option to provide a little taste while ensuring health.

  

  According to the rhythm of the original world, in the initial stage, only the "cost-effectiveness" needs to be made in the three categories of bread, yogurt and beverages, which is enough to make a big hit. It's a pity that because it is easy to find, Chu Yuanxiyuan World didn't personally operate this link at all, and now I don't know where all the experts went, and there is no way to recover.

  

   Therefore, we still have to turn to omnipotent investors to help find suitable resources. Human resources are also resources. Chu Yuanxi had basically not distributed the equity of the Ba people at the beginning because there were not many places to ask for help. At a glance, Zheng De could live with milk or tap the potential internally. Similarly, the rush to disperse the share of Xiaokang's A round is precisely because the structure of Xiaokang is much more complicated than that of the Bas, and there are more places where milk is needed. Zheng De can exhaust Yuan Jing to death.

  

   For example, now, you can ask capital to help you find talents, and you can also ask capital to help you contact OEMs. The off-the-shelf foundry is not easy to find, but you can find half-made ones. The foundry is nothing more than the difficulty of resuming work and the workers cannot return. These problems are not easy to solve for the foundry’s small arms and legs. It will be much easier, so that a well-off society will definitely have to pay a little more, but it is meaningful to the whole society.

  

At this moment, capital and enterprises are not just the relationship between money, but together become nodes in the national economy. The legs that hold many resources are naturally thicker, so they become powerful supports to help the country support the people together. economic. Analogous to the feudal era, it is called the foundation of the nation of the people, the foundation of the king of the country, the country has the people and the country has the king, so the way of the world is to stabilize the country and the people.

  

In this process, whether capital or enterprise is a unit for the stability of the country and the people, mutual cooperation can completely match more needs and mobilize more power. Many combination punches that are not normally played or do not need to be played are possible. appear.

  

   Just like the Putian line of changing production of masks, the diaper factory has materials and the shoe factory has equipment. The two sides made two gestures to put together the production line.

  

   In contrast, the demand for a well-off society seems to be strenuous, and it can be done completely if you put a lot of effort into it.

  

   So Chu Yuanxi and Xu Xin mentioned new needs, and at the same time they also proposed to make an appointment with Mido to meet and chat.

  

   "Ah? You, what are you talking about with them?" Xu Xin was naturally extremely surprised. The appointment would definitely be possible. The problem was that he couldn't guess whether Chu Yuanxi's gourd sells medicine.

  

   "Just get to know each other and have a chat, what's the matter? What do you think I am doing?"

  

   "That's okay." Xu Xin hesitated, "I heard that Mido thought about annexing Xiaokang before. I thought you..."

  

   "Your Lenovo ability is too rich? If I really want to divide the luggage, can I divide the money on the Pakistani account?"

  

   What Xu Xin wanted to say was that Chu Yuanxi rode a motorcycle up the mountain to chop firewood without any reason. "Then make an appointment with me. Also, don't you want to organize investor phone meetings? When?"

  

   "After seeing more perfection." Chu Yuanxi said lightly, since Xu Xin doesn't plan to be a childcare, then this conference call has little to do with her, because she doesn't plan to pay. In the current market, the endorsement must be real money, and if you talk or not, it will not produce any endorsement effect.

  

   Xiaokang is a one-stop operation. In the afternoon, the launch of Milestone 5 and the deployment of the data center have all been distributed in Chu Yuanxi's own OKR, but the Pakistani people squeezed something. Lu Yu rushed to report and said that the Internet University of "Wu Dao Faunjun" has a new choice. Of course, the Internet University is relatively strong on iQiyi, and iQiyi today gave a new option called "Sui engraved".

  

   "What do you want?" Chu Yuanxi hadn't heard of it before, and Xin asked why this name was so strange? Does it mean that "so and so and so and so and so come here" on the monuments when traveling?

  

   Lu Yu said no, this is a medium-length video project launched by iQiyi, which lasts about ten minutes. Both short and long videos are quite mature in China, but there is currently no fixed exploration environment for medium and long videos. In other words, on the three major platforms and hodgepodge playback platforms such as Watermelon, Sina, and Station B, you can of course upload 10 minutes. Video, but there is no requirement that only 8 to 10 minutes of video can be uploaded. This is a fixed "exploration" of this specific type, exploring the business prospects.

  

   Therefore, the function under test has begun to prepare for the ecology. The first step to prepare for the ecology is to set a benchmark and launch high-quality and popular products, which will generate a money-making effect, thus driving a large number of submission users. This style of play itself is very familiar to Pakistani people.

  

   It happened at this time that the Pakistani people uploaded the outline and summary of the newly edited web report, and they had not uploaded it yet. They were in the communication stage, and originally only wanted to determine the exposure position. As a result, when the other party listened to it, he immediately tempted Lu Yu to cut the film again. The original 90-minute online movie was cut into 8 to 10 episodes of continuous video at the moment, and then the traffic was tilted ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ into a large number.

  

   It should be said that the idea itself is okay, especially the ad sharing model on iQiyi is quite mature. As long as it’s too embarrassing to eat, don’t give users a three-minute ad for a ten-minute video, it should still be possible. But Chu Yuanxi said that this is not the original micro movie? The duration is shorter and fixed. What can be explored?

  

   The real exploration should be to find a new profit model instead of the old model of advertising sharing. Just like the UGCs of Douyin Kuaishou didn't make money at the beginning, with the increase of traffic, the online celebrity e-commerce model of short video delivery and short video + live broadcast delivery has gradually developed. This is called exploration.

  

   And, for this suggested approach, shouldn’t there be a fixed pattern as a leader of a company? Chu Yuanxi asked Lu Yu: "What's your opinion?"

  

   "Me? I think it should be worth a try?" Lu Yu certainly thought about what choices he should make, and how to take advantage of iQiyi's dividend. The traffic tilt was a promise given by Mr. Gong. But when it comes to the group's main IP, of course, Chu Yuanxi has to make the decision in person.

  

   However, he saw Chu Yuanxi shook his head and said, "God give me a real talent..."
