Who doesn’t want to make money after being reborn?

Chapter 135 WeChat Internationalization

Don't compete with Mr. Ren!

Luo Hui's face was calm.

As usual, he chatted with Yu Dazui, who came to say goodbye, and drafted investment agreements for today's hot projects. Nothing unusual could be seen.

There was a storm in my heart.

The business strategy he thought was very secret was like a child playing house in the eyes of a big boss like Mr. Ren.

It's like a thief who thinks he's smart by slipping in and picking the lock to steal a big ticket, but when he's about to leave, someone grabs him and warns him: Your money is lost!
A group of flustered!
Does Mr. Ren already know that my ultimate trick against Fat Penguin is the Spring Festival Gala red envelope?

Or have you guessed the offline promotion activities?
Can't it be so awesome?

"So you got 2000 million in investment?"

After arranging a special car to send Yu Dazui away, Meng Yuhan looked at the investment agreement with the ink still wet in disbelief.

Surprise was written on his face.

In order to get Luo Hui's investment, she worked hard for almost a month, and was almost abducted by human traffickers and turned into a beggar.

Unexpectedly, the big boy in front of me just said a few words and got 2000 million investment.

Just paid [-]% of the shares.

What is this called?

If I had known that it was so easy to find investment, I wouldn't have pestered Luo Hui to invest alone. If I had gone to the south to find a few more wealthy bosses, wouldn't it have been a long time ago?

"Is 2000 million a lot? It's enough to develop an APP and initially train a group of core reporters and editors."

Luo Hui has a toothache.

According to his original plan, news and short video apps would not require external investment at all, and would only give shares to founders and technical staff.

Own absolute control.

Only in this way can the company grow rapidly according to its own plan without worrying about anyone's constraints.

This is also the reason why he has not been in a hurry to promote WeChat to the international market.

As usual.

At present, domestic smartphones are not popular enough. In the international market, only Europe and North America have higher smartphone penetration rates.

This is the best time to compete for the market.

If you miss this window period and wait for the international Internet giants to seize the market, it will be seven or eight steps more difficult to snatch the meat from their mouths.

Unfortunately, he couldn't rush.

The WeChat board of directors has been established, but he, the founder, has not yet established absolute authority. If he suddenly breaks into the international market, he is likely to encounter constraints from the board of directors.

So is WeChat.

The same is true for today’s hot spots.

If there is a conflict between Yu Dazui and himself on the direction of development when entering the international market, 10% of the shares will be enough to form a strong constraint.

For a strong fortress, the easiest point to break through is inside.

However, I have to give Yu Dazui some face, and I can only hope that there will be no differences between the two parties in the future cooperation process.

If disagreements arise.

We parted ways as soon as possible and went back to our respective homes to find our respective mothers.

He would rather spend a lot of money to redeem his shares than leave a shareholder who has a different development direction from his own to cause trouble internally.

"Then we start recruiting people now?"

Meng Yuhan twisted her hands together nervously, blinking her big eyes and looking at Luo Hui expectantly.

That look.

It seems that he is unwilling to wait any longer and wants to jump into the battle immediately.

"Let's hire people!"

Luo Hui thought about the next development direction and replied casually: "First recruit one hundred reporters, fifty college students majoring in journalism, and fifty non-journalism majors with more than five years of work experience, preferably 30 years old. The above-mentioned old fried dough sticks.”

"Why do we need veterans who are not majoring in journalism? Also, why don't you poach a few veteran editors?"

"I'll explain to you later."

"I want to know now."

"Remember, you are my employee now. Don't waste my time. Just follow my instructions and do the work. Your friend status is only for after get off work, don't bring it to work."

Are you a dog-faced person?
Say it changes!

Meng Yuhan looked at the big boy who suddenly had a serious face in astonishment. It was a little difficult for a while to adapt to this change in status from friend to boss.

In the end, he chose to nod obediently: "Okay, I'll do it right away."

"You can decide on the candidates for administration, human resources, etc. When it comes to recruiting journalists, you must follow my requirements."

"no problem."

"Go ahead and help me find the administrative director and Engineer Ruan."

"it is good!"

Luo Hui made no unnecessary preparations for President Ren's visit.

Waste of time.

The company is still in the start-up stage, so there is no need to bother with superficial efforts.

Before WeChat's board of directors could form any constraints, he had to prepare for the storm.

The 3Q war is coming to an end.

Although the climax was brought forward, the ending pattern was exactly the same as in the original time and space, and the supervisory unit came forward to mediate.

Based on the principle of protecting consumers, Zhou Hongyi and Xiao Ma Ge are required to make a truce and shut down the targeted software developed by each other.

The rest is just the two sides using their legal teams to argue in court.

This is part of PR.

In fact, if his guess is correct, Fat Penguin’s storm against WeChat will soon come.

No time for nonsense.

At the same time, we must be prepared to enter the international market.

What Ruan Feng came to discuss was the layout plan for the international market and the specific matters that needed attention.

He had already chosen the location of the WeChat international version headquarters, which was Lijiapo.

Then just set up different branches based on population and spending power.At present, the only regions that can set up branches are the European market and North America.

Site selection is an issue.

You definitely can’t go to the lighthouse, but you can’t give up on the lighthouse market.

Maple Leaf Country is not a good choice either.

It seemed that the only way to set up the North American branch was with Lao Mo.

Well, it’s set in Lao Mo.

According to the North American Trade Agreement, neither the Lighthouse nor the Maple Leaf Country has the right to prevent companies headquartered in Lao Mo from entering the markets of the two countries.

At least in name only.

Branches in the European market can only be set up in Gallic chicken houses, but not in bars that go on strike every now and then.

It was necessary to find a quiet town to set up a branch, so as not to be disrupted by various riots and strikes that would disrupt the company's normal operations.

The Mao Xiong family also has to set up a separate branch.

"Mr. Luo, currently there is no precedent for domestic Internet companies to enter the international market. Are we taking this step too fast?"

After listening to Luo Hui's idea, Ruan Feng's scalp felt a little numb.

The international market is indeed a tempting big cake, but... the great powers are not so easy to mess with.

Despite the talk of free trade, in fact when your companies and products enter the markets of major powers, you will encounter all kinds of strange obstacles.

It just makes life suspicious.

“Have you ever heard of exporting to domestic sales?”

Ok?
What do you mean?
Looking at the boss's smiling eyes, Ruan Feng suddenly realized: "Are you trying to use your reputation to enter the international market to attack Fat Penguin?"

"The international market is difficult to crack, and it won't take a day or two to crack it. We don't have to put too much hope in doing it. But doing it or not doing it are two different things. Being the first to eat crabs in the domestic market You’ll win impression points!”

Luo Hui didn't tell the truth.

Laying out the international market in advance is actually a matter of racing against time, and it is by no means as simple as casual trial and error.

It's just... No Internet company in China has ever succeeded, leading everyone to form a fixed mindset.

Think that the international market is untouchable.

In fact, now is the time.

There's no better opportunity than now.

I can't wait!

The main purpose of describing the layout of the international market as exporting to domestic sales is to win the support of the board of directors.

"In that case, why don't you just convene the board of directors to announce..."

As he spoke, Ruan Feng suddenly understood the reason why his boss came to him: "Do you want me to propose a plan to enter the international market and the reasons for it at the board meeting?"

right!

If I, the boss, have to take the lead in everything, then why do we need so many employees?

First find a leader to propose a plan to implement the board of directors' opinions. If it goes well, everyone will be happy.

If things don't go well, there's room for compromise and communication.

When the chairman personally proposes a plan and suddenly encounters opposition from board members, then... what should we do next?
Forced through?

sure, no problem.

But it will create bad blood within the board of directors.

Once, twice... if accumulated a few more times, a confrontational situation will form.

That's trouble.

Enterprises with multi-shareholder structures are so fucked up. If you want to do something, you have to be more careful and make more detours.

Otherwise, sooner or later, the situation will be defeated.

In his previous life, he had seen many cases where the future of a company was ruined due to wrangling and struggles between shareholders.

Therefore, this situation should never be allowed to occur in your own company.

"As a member of the board of directors and a key developer of WeChat, you are certainly qualified to propose a plan for the internationalization process."

"I understand. I'll go work on the plan right away, and then I'll convene a board meeting to put it forward first."

"Let's discuss it with Brother Umbrella and Brother Fengyun to see if there is anything I haven't considered thoroughly."

"..."

After solving the issue of WeChat internationalization, Luo Hui began to discuss building a security team and assistant team for himself.

He guessed right.

Just after the 3Q war ended, Xiao Ma couldn't wait to find Zhang Long to discuss the acquisition of WeChat.

Zhang Long is also anxious.

I flew back and forth to communicate with Luo Hui for three rounds, and we had a happy conversation every time.

Now all it takes is the boss to come out and negotiate the price and sign an agreement.

pity.

These days, the boss is busy responding to inquiries and rectifications from regulatory agencies, and has no time to talk about mergers and acquisitions.

After the meeting, he reported the results of the three rounds of communication in one go.

"You mean, as long as our price is right, we can control WeChat at any time?"

After listening to Zhang Long's report, Xiao Ma felt that his brain was a little exhausted.

Should not be!

WeChat is developing so well, that high school student will never sell it unless his brain is kicked by a donkey.

Anyone can see that WeChat’s future will be brilliant.

"The price is high!"

Zhang Long hurriedly explained: "I learned from Tian Chun and Wu Yang that when Mr. Luo was developing WeChat, he dared to ask Jack Ma for an investment of 50 billion before he had even completed the development process."

“This is not the vision and structure that ordinary entrepreneurs should have.”

"Ordinary people would be very happy if they invested hundreds of thousands. How could they dare to ask for 50 billion?"
