I really just want to make money

Chapter 406 You deserve it!
Moyu Group’s annual meeting live broadcast, although no big-name celebrities were invited, but the company’s own strong lineup of celebrities + Internet celebrities, as well as various prize gimmicks, after MY Weibo, MY chat pop-up ads, Moyu Chinese website and Xiaoxiang Academy, etc. The promotion of the website still attracted a large number of fans and melon eaters to watch.

The peak number of live viewers exceeded 600 million, setting a new record for the number of live viewers!

It's just that there are too many hot news during this period, and the live broadcast of Moyu Group's annual meeting did not cause a huge sensation like last time.

The first thing is that the two giants in the Internet taxi-hailing field, Nankuaidi and Beididi, are completely crazy!

Starting from New Year's Day, the two companies have crazily subsidized at a rate of burning 2 million yuan per day, and the two companies add up to 4 million yuan!

In the past few days of New Year's Day, people all over the country have registered two taxi-hailing software, and then experienced the joy of taking a taxi for 1 cent...

It is said that the buses across the country are basically empty in the past few days, and the bus groups in various places are crying their fathers and mothers for their losses.

As the boss of an Internet company, when encountering such a major event in the industry, Li Yu naturally couldn't be blindsided.

After the annual meeting last night, Li Yu stayed overnight at Su Lin's house, and the two had a "New Year's Eve friendship". The next day, New Year's Day, they happened to go to the company to work overtime together, and they downloaded a Didi taxi to experience it.

After downloading and registering the app, the use of taxi-hailing software is not complicated, at least in Li Yu's view, it is quite simple. It is the same as using navigation software, locate the starting point, then determine the destination, and then choose to take a taxi.

I don't know if it's because of the morning rush hour, or because there are too many customers in the taxi-hailing software. After waiting for about seven or eight minutes, the taxi arrived late.

The two sat in the back of the taxi and experienced free taxi rides. Even Li Yu felt quite happy.

This has nothing to do with more money and less money, it is purely a small joy of taking advantage.

"It used to be said that there is no free lunch in the world, but now there are even free taxi rides. The Internet is really a magical place..." Li Yu smiled at Su Lin.

"It's quite novel, but they are burning too much money, and they probably won't last for a few days. I just don't know if the customers who burn money can stay."

As the person in charge of Moyu Mall, Su Lin now has a very deep understanding of the Internet industry.

Burning money is a radical way to acquire customers. It cannot be said that it is not good. The key depends on whether the product itself can retain the customers who burned it.

If you can keep it, you can burn 2 million a day, even if you burn it for ten days and a half a month, it is not impossible, but if you can't keep it, it will be a waste of money...

While the two were chatting, the driver of the rough car was also secretly observing the two of them.

Living in a high-end neighborhood, well-dressed, it looks like a rich man!
Good guy, the rich people even want to take advantage of this little advantage?

Really stingy!
The taxi driver curled his lips in disdain, and stared up at the rich.

When the taxi arrived at the gate of Moyu Industrial Park, Li Yu completed the payment on his mobile phone and got off the bus.

At this time, the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle that had been following behind also stopped, and the bodyguard captain Wang Xiaohu got off the passenger seat to open the door for Li Yu.

The taxi driver who had just driven a few meters ahead saw this scene through the rearview mirror, and immediately opened his mouth in surprise.

What the hell?

There is such a good business car, but you still have to take a taxi for free to take advantage of it. Is the happiness of the rich so simple and unpretentious?

……

Today is the first day of New Year's Day. Under normal circumstances, Li Yu would not come to work in the company, but today's situation is special, because just yesterday, Hangcheng Ma announced the establishment of Alibaba Dharma Institute.

Well, this guy is really coquettish, because he likes martial arts, so he gave some weird names to various departments.

The so-called Bodhidharma Academy is actually the technology research and development department. Hangcheng Ma announced that he will invest 1000 billion yuan in the research and development and application of Internet big data cutting-edge technologies in the future. This news caused a sensation in the entire domestic Internet industry.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, all the principals of the group and its subsidiaries were in place to discuss the impact of the establishment of Alibaba Dharma Academy on the future domestic Internet technology and the company's coping strategies.

This is actually a strategic-level technical planning meeting, also called a retreat, mainly talking about some conceptual and planning content.

Zhao Yiming took the lead in speaking as the technical director of the group.

"Actually, big data technology and cloud computing technology are not the latest concepts. This field has been discussed and studied internationally as early as a few years ago."

"As far as we know, the company that has the deepest research in this field is Google. They have invested tens of billions of dollars in research and development in this field, and the research time has been more than 5 years..."

Zhao Yiming first popularized the development history and international research situation of big data and cloud computing for everyone, so as to prevent everyone from being fooled by Hangcheng Ma.

This concept has been around for a long time, and it has nothing to do with Hangcheng horse.

As a shopping website, Alibaba's technical level has always been recognized as rubbish in the industry, even Tengxun can't match it, let alone Du Niang.

In BAT, although Du Niang is developing the slowest and its reputation is in a mess, from a technical point of view, Du Niang has always been the pinnacle of domestic Internet companies.

This time, the reason why Hangcheng Ma's bullshit caused the Internet industry to shake up was mainly due to the scale and determination he announced to invest in research and development funds.

1000 billion, even with a 100% discount, it's still [-] billion!
No one knows what such a large R&D investment will bring to the domestic Internet field...

"The reason why Alibaba is determined to develop cloud computing technology is mainly because Taobao users and transaction volume are too large, and their existing software and hardware technology can no longer support their further development."

"Last year's Double Eleven, Taobao's system was paralyzed for a minute because of too many transactions at the same time. If they can't solve this problem, this year's Double Eleven may not be able to go on..."

When it comes to the system pressure of shopping websites, Su Lin, as the person in charge of Moyu Mall, is naturally the most sensitive.

"Mr. Zhao, according to what you said, will Moyu Mall encounter this kind of situation in the future?"

"It is not ruled out that this will happen, but the various websites under our group share basic services, so this is not a problem with Moyu Mall. Once similar problems occur, all websites will have problems."

After Zhao Yiyi finished speaking, the meeting room suddenly became restless.

The heads of these subsidiaries basically don't need to ask about technical matters. They are more like generals who expand their territories, and Zhang Yiming, the technical director, is the general manager in charge of logistics support.

Now the soldiers on the front line are fighting, and suddenly I heard the logistics manager say that the food and grass may be cut off, this shit is too scary!
"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet first, and listen to Director Zhao."

Li Yu coughed lightly, interrupting everyone's discussion.

What Zhao Yiming said was that there was a hidden danger in the business, which was an early warning. As the boss, Li Yu naturally knew that the matter hadn't reached that point yet.

In other words, the scale of Moyu Group has not yet reached the point where it needs to worry about the system not being able to support it.

After everyone quieted down, Zhao Yiming continued:
"Our company actually started small-scale research and development of some big data technology applications last year. Now the system is very stable. Even if the number of users and transaction volume doubles again, there will be no problems. Therefore, you don't have to worry too much for the time being..."

"The purpose of convening this meeting today is to make everyone mentally prepared. The group will increase investment in research and development of cloud computing technology this year. The amount should not be less than 10 billion."

Hearing that the company will invest 10 billion yuan in technology research and development this year, the executives in the conference room were in a commotion again.

10 billion!
The profit of the group for one year is only this money, right?
This investment alone has eaten up the group's profits, so what about other investment projects?
And this is only the first year. Everyone knows a little bit about technology research and development. The first year is just the beginning, and every subsequent year will only increase, not decrease!

Didn't you see that Google has spent tens of billions of dollars on research and development of cloud computing technology?

Look at the Hangzhou horse again, the mouth is 1000 billion...

Without an investment of tens of billions, let alone researching new technologies.

Playing with technology, ordinary companies really can't afford to hurt it!
Seeing the discussions among the executives below, Li Yu stretched out his hand to press down, interrupting everyone's discussion.

"Don't worry about the funding. Everyone has seen MY's meager financing. The companies under our group are all favorites in the eyes of investment companies. It is not difficult to raise funds."

"This year, I plan to conduct a round of financing for each subsidiary. Except for the technology research and development expenses, the rest of the funds will be used for the company's development and expansion. You don't have to worry about this..."

Hearing that Mr. Li was going to raise a round of financing for all companies, all the executives suddenly became excited.

Financing, that is your own money!

Now because there is no financing, all subsidiaries have to apply for money from the group, and they are tied up in doing things.

But financing is different. The company that raises the money belongs to it. The degree of freedom is completely different!

Just look at the current MY Weibo. After raising 2.5 million yuan, MY Weibo is now doing a lot of promotional activities, and the speed of development is not the same as before...

Financing, in addition to accelerating the company's development, will also greatly improve the independence of the subsidiary.

With the first round of financing, there will be a second round. After several rounds of financing, it is inevitable to plan to go public. Once the company goes public, these executives will be able to obtain corresponding options, and then one by one will become multi-millionaires Even billionaires!

After confirming the financing plan for 2014, without worrying about money, the heads of the group and each subsidiary company began to concentrate on planning which aspects of the company they are in charge of need to apply big data and cloud computing technology, and these needs will eventually be aggregated to Zhao Yiming In the hands, it becomes the direction of technology research and development.

The meeting on cloud computing research and development lasted for two days, and established the company's technology research and development direction for the next two to three years.

At the same time, many Internet companies across the country are also conducting similar meetings and discussions. 2014 is destined to become a turning point in the development of China's Internet industry.

After the New Year's Day holiday, Li Yu received an invitation.

Huizhou Provincial Chamber of Commerce officially invited Li Yu to join the Chamber of Commerce and serve as the vice president, and at the same time to participate in the 2014 New Year Membership Meeting of the Chamber of Commerce.

Inviting Li Yu to join the Chamber of Commerce, Xu Maolin has always been the matchmaker inside, but Li Yu's requirements are relatively high, and he will not participate without the position of vice president.

Regarding Li Yu's request, Wang Dewen, the chairman of the chamber of commerce, agreed after learning about Li Yu's net worth. However, when discussing within the chamber of commerce, he still encountered considerable resistance.

There are many reasons, not that Li Yu is not rich enough, but that Li Yu is too young, earns money too fast, and is engaged in the Internet, and has no intersection with most rich people in Huizhou Province, which inevitably makes many people suffer from pink eye disease.

In addition to this reason, Li Yu also had an unpleasant fight with another vice president, Boss Zhou of Wenyi Real Estate Company.

After being slapped in the face by Li Yu, the reputation of Wenyi Real Estate Company's wealthy Jindi real estate was completely rotten. When the real estate market was booming, it could not be sold even if the price was reduced, and the loss exceeded [-] million.

Because of this matter, Boss Zhou hated Li Yu so much, so when President Wang said that he was going to invite Li Yu to be the vice president of the chamber of commerce, Boss Zhou was the first to stand up and object.

Because of various resistances, Li Yu himself was not very active at home, and the matter of inviting Li Yu to join the chamber of commerce was delayed again and again.

Finally, at the end of last year, things turned around.

MY Weiwei completed the A round of financing, Moyu Group finally started external financing!

The rich people in the province don’t know how to play the Internet, but it doesn’t mean they are not greedy for the dividends of the Internet industry. There was no opportunity before, but now the opportunity is in front of them. Whoever misses it is an idiot!

In order to establish a relationship with Li Yu and get on board the big boat of Moyu Group's financing, the Huizhou Provincial Chamber of Commerce finally passed a resolution to invite Li Yu to join...

In the face of absolute interests, even if Boss Zhou wanted to stop him, he could do nothing.

Announcing Li Yu's joining at the annual general meeting of the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce definitely gave Li Yu enough face.

……

Daoxianglou Guest House is the front row of foreign reception in Huizhou Province.
The General Assembly of the Huizhou Provincial Chamber of Commerce is held here every year, with more than 300 rich people participating, covering all walks of life in Huizhou Province.

The meeting time is only one day. There is a general meeting in the morning, a small meeting in the afternoon, and eating, drinking and playing in the evening. This is a meeting, and it is also a communication platform for rich people in the whole province.

Knowing more people, hearing more information, and getting more cooperation opportunities are very attractive to most rich people.

In the general meeting in the morning, the chairman of the chamber of commerce mainly reported on his work, introducing the work of the chamber of commerce in the previous year, the achievements he had made, and the plan for the next year. Finally, he specially announced that Li Yu became the vice president of the chamber of commerce.

Li Yu was whispering to Xu Maolin in the audience.

"Hey, in order to get you the vice-chairman position, I was so worried." Xu Maolin brazenly took the credit for himself.

"Hehe, I heard that your proposal was resisted by many people. It seems that after our company started financing externally, these talents changed their attitude..."

"Ahem, cough, look at what you said, these are only secondary factors, the key is to look at my face..."

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard President Wang mention Li Yu's name, and then there was warm applause from below.

"Next, we invite Vice President Li to speak on stage."

Finally it was his turn to take the stage. This was the part agreed in advance. Li Yu stood up and nodded to everyone, and then went to the stage to take President Wang's microphone.

"Hi everyone, I'm Li Yu, and I'm very honored to be a member of the Huizhou Provincial Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, I also feel ashamed to be the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce just after joining the Chamber of Commerce..."

Xu Maolin sat down, resisting the urge to spit out his breakfast before listening to Li Yu's hypocritical acceptance speech.

You have the nerve to say that you deserve it?

At that time, I didn't know which one said it. Without the position of vice president, I would never join the chamber of commerce.

To have such a thick skin after only graduating for less than two years, he is indeed born to be a boss...
