Chapter 127 Brother Xiao Ma Is About To Love Cao Xuan To Death
On December 12th, Cao Xuan returned to Guangdong Province from the capital city. Before returning to the production team of "Youth Bao Qingtian" in Foshan City, he went to Shenzhen City to visit Xiao Ma and Penguin.

After Cao Xuan confirmed the investment at the end of August, the 8 million yuan has been transferred to Penguin's account one after another. With the money, Xiao Ma immediately started to squander it.

Firstly, the server and bandwidth were expanded, and then several functions with Cao Xuan as the spokesperson were introduced to attract new users, and to a certain extent bet on advertisements on major websites.

As a result, the number of QQ users has increased rapidly in a short period of time, and the viscosity is very high. At the same time, the number of online users once exceeded 50, and it can be regarded as a well-known software in the entire Internet.

Xiao Ma and the others are now actively developing the latest version of QQ, and plan to launch it in the first half of 2000 at an optional date.

It can be said that the current development of QQ can be described as colorful and bright, but Cao Xuan is frightened by the money being burned.

According to his current estimates, the 2000 million is enough to last until next summer.

Before that, if Penguin still can't find a profit model, either Cao Xuan will continue to pour money into it, or he will have to attract other people to enter the market for financing.

Cao Xuan didn’t know much about the history of Penguin’s start-up, but he vaguely remembered that it started to make initial profits by relying on Monternet. Later, he started to engage in virtual value-added services such as QQ shows and chess and card games, and then completely realized full profits.

But now Monternet doesn't even have a shadow, and the QQ show doesn't talk about whether the technology can be achieved, and the research and development will cost money.

Even if Cao Xuan gritted his teeth and poured money into it, and developed it, but one step faster is a genius, and three steps faster is hard to say.

Now the Internet has not yet reached the level of popularization, Internet cafes have not opened all over the country, and various conditions are immature. The QQ show hastily launched ahead of schedule. It is easy to say that it is successful.

Cao Xuan chatted with Brother Xiao Ma, and Brother Xiao Ma also secretly expressed his intentions to him.

If things go on like this, the company may not have enough money, and Cao Xuan, a big plumber, might be needed to contribute.

Cao Xuan figured it out for himself, next year he should still be able to spend 1000-2000 million for investment, if it is really impossible to sign a few "sell-in" contracts, 3000 million is not a problem.

But the money has been invested. If Penguin can’t make a profit, it can only let a part of the shares come out for financing.

Cao Xuan's personal promise put Brother Ma in a good mood, at least in a short period of time, Penguin will not be short of money.

As for whether the money will be used up, whether it will attract investment, Xiao Ma is not worried at all.

The Internet is booming, and the three major portals are considering going public in the United States. Major capitals from home and abroad are pouring in one after another. The stocks related to the Internet in Xiangjiang are soaring all the way. Even Li Cucumber is preparing to participate in the Internet industry.

Under this general trend, with Penguin's user base and market share, is it still difficult to attract investment?
The optimistic pony brother took Cao Xuan, several founders and the company's middle and high-level executives to a party and had a drink.

During the period, the little brother who was a little over the top blushed and described the brilliant future of penguins to everyone.

Cao Xuan applauded enthusiastically, but he thought in his heart that half a year later the Internet bubble would burst, how would he encourage Xiao Ma to stick to his dream.

I have to buy a few inspirational chicken soup books to study later, or ask Hangzhou Ma for advice. He is an expert in chicken blood......

Cao Xuan stayed in Shenzhen for two days, except for brushing his face inside Penguin to show his presence as a major shareholder.

At the same time, as an angel investor, he was interviewed by two financial newspapers with high circulation in Guangdong Province and Shenzhen City.

The purpose of Cao Xuan accepting this interview is very simple, mainly to help QQ build momentum, and at the same time increase the popularity of Penguin.

At this stage, although QQ is the focus of Penguin's development, they also accept other network communication services, which are also the main source of income for Penguin.

Of course, Brother Ma and the others may not have so much energy to do these projects now, but they can outsource them.

There are many Internet companies in Shenzhen that do these projects, but they are not well-known and cannot receive projects. The biggest advantage of Penguin now is that it has a big star shareholder.

Cao Xuan stepped in to help Penguin increase its popularity, take over projects, and outsource them to other companies. As long as the quality is well controlled, it will be a lot of income if it is transferred back and forth.

Brother Xiaoma almost loves Cao Xuan to death now. He is famous and rich, and he has greatly benefited the company. He does not interfere in the management of the company and supports his decision very much.

It is simply the most ideal investor for all entrepreneurs.

In addition to raising the popularity of Penguin, Cao Xuan also intends to reveal his identity as an angel to the business community, so as to attract entrepreneurs who have no money.

Here is a big star who is "a fool with a lot of money". Not only is he rich, but he can also gain popularity. Come and "cheat" him...

It is conceivable that most of the people who come to attract investment are of little value, but as long as one or two big fish can be caught, it is blood money.

.........

On the night of December 12th, Cao Xuan bid farewell to brother Ma, drove to Buddha City by car, and arrived at the Nanhai Film and Television Base in the early morning.

I got up early the next morning to put on makeup, and at the same time communicated with the director about the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, and the progress had to be rushed.

Naturally, there is nothing wrong with the director. He is not afraid of too much work, but he is afraid that the actors will not cooperate. If the filming is finished early, he still has time to take vacations or take on other jobs.

Therefore, when Cao Xuan started filming frantically in "Youth Bao Qingtian", he basically worked on the set for more than 12 hours a day, and the longest day was as many as 16 hours.

No matter how long it is, he can't stand it anymore.

I can act, but I am extremely exhausted physically and mentally, and my state and acting skills have completely deteriorated.

Cao Xuan wanted to catch up with the schedule and make room for the schedule, but he didn't want to shoot bad scenes, so he still had to ensure enough rest and adjustment time every day.

The continuous high-intensity work made Cao Xuan so tired that he had no time to flirt with Hu Jing. Except for chatting during meals every day, sometimes he had to squint on the way back to the hotel.

Hu Jing looked distressed, trying to find a way to buy delicious food nearby every day to feed Cao Xuan, Li Bingbing was dragged by her, and couldn't help buying along with her.

She was afraid of getting fat, so she only dared to taste it, and didn't dare to eat too much. It would be too wasteful to throw it away, so she simply gave it to Ren Quan and Shi Xiaolong.

After more than half a month, Cao Xuan didn't change much, Ren Quan and Shi Xiaolong each gained several catties.

Ren Quan, who was originally a little thin, had a little more flesh on his cheeks, and he looked like "the Buddha's light shines all over", which fit Qiao Ling'er's image very well.

Cao Investor Xuan is very satisfied.

At the same time, with Cao Xuan's hard work day and night, Bao Zheng's role in "Youth Bao Qingtian" is also progressing rapidly.

Bao Zheng's roles in the first case and the fourth case have all ended, and there have been quite a few scenes filmed in the other cases.

According to a rough calculation, Cao Xuan has almost completed about 2/5 of the whole play, and if he works harder in the future, he may be able to free up another ten days for himself.

Basically, it can meet Cao Xuan's Spring Festival Gala rehearsal and performance needs, even if it takes more than a day or two, it is harmless and will not affect the shooting plan of the "Youth Bao Qingtian" crew.
