You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 176 Two conditions for financing

The relationship between Yang Botao and himself almost collapsed after talking on the phone.

What could happen?

When did the campus network get in touch with the Olympic Organizing Committee, and how did it get in touch with the International Olympic Committee?

Why did you organize an international marathon?

Or an officially designated sponsor?

What good things have happened to Qin Shaoyan?

At the same time, Yang Botao's heart was filled with fear. He was too aware of the horror of this matter.

The official promotion of the International Marathon has begun, and various media have begun to cooperate in publicity.

With the blessing of administrative agencies, the publicity effect will be very terrifying, and it is free.

"The Yanjing leg of the Global International Marathon will be held in July this year. This race is part of the international marathon..."

Listening to the busy tone of the hung up phone, Yang Botao threw the phone to the ground angrily.

After the gunshot, more than 700 athletes and more than 3,000 amateur athletes from 70 countries started running like a tide.

The Director-General of the International Olympic Committee highly praised this charity competition and expressed his gratitude to the cities that actively participated.

In the end, he could only say perfunctorily: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, I really can't help you this time."

At the same time, the Director-General also expressed special thanks to the sponsors Facebook and Campus Network.

"Campus Network, the sponsor of the competition, stated that the purpose of this competition is purely public welfare, to promote the spirit of the Olympic Movement to the world and to promote the 08 Yanjing Olympics..."

At ten o'clock in the morning, the Director-General personally fired the starting gun.

"The city leaders attach great importance to this international marathon and require full cooperation from administrative agencies. Publicity on the campus network is also a part of the event."

On June 6, the Global International Marathon officially started.

The most helpless thing is that Yang Botao can only watch the campus network wantonly snatching users on his own territory, and he can't even resist.

With the support of such terrifying traffic, the campus network has achieved its purpose of publicity and promotion.

Hundreds of newspapers and television stations from various countries recorded this moment at the same time.

There may even be relevant reports on CCTV. Although it will not be mentioned specifically, even if the picture appears for one or two seconds, the effect will be explosive.

The campus network has reached an official cooperation with the Internet, coupled with such a major international event, and finally the upcoming super traffic of the Olympic Games.

The campus network borrowed from the general trend and was the right path. It was not at the same level as the business war he expected.

On the TV screen in front of him, CCTV news was playing.

Qin Shaoyan's popularity has reached its limit. Throughout the summer vacation, the only top topics on the Internet will be the Olympic Games and campus network.

The first stop of the competition was set in Los Angeles. The Director General of the International Olympic Committee and the Governor of California attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech.

"Anyway, you Dazhong.com... take care of yourselves."

……

These participating athletes wore uniforms provided by Facebook and carried their respective national logos, fiercely competing for rankings for prize money and honors.

Afterwards, the relay race started one stop after another.

New York, London, Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Rome, Athens, all the way to Yanjing.

The opening ceremony of the Yanjing station is as strong as Los Angeles.

For this marathon, the campus network also specially recruited more than 3,000 college student volunteers to provide services to the athletes.

Listening to the sound of the starting gun, Qin Shaoyan felt completely relaxed.

Now that the trend has been established, all that remains is to wait and see the feedback from the campus network data.

In order to do a good job in this event, Qin Shaoyan participated in the whole process and did not have a good night's sleep for more than a month.

Facebook and campus networks are spending money like water.

Fortunately, the event went smoothly and there were no accidents.

Just when Qin Shaoyan was sighing, Zhang Wanli walked up to him and patted his shoulder, "Mr. Qin, why are you hiding here? I've been looking for you for a long time."

"Brother Zhang, what are you looking for?" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised.

"The leaders will want to take a group photo later. You can go to the side and collect the number." Zhang Wanli said casually. "Ah?" Qin Shaoyan was shocked and asked in disbelief, "Can someone of my caliber go over and take a group photo?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are a sponsor. If you don't go, why don't I go?" Zhang Wanli dragged him, "Where's the vice president of Facebook? Whose name is Edward? He's the one from Beijing Movies."

"Edward Damon, he's squinting in the car." Qin Shaoyan asked, "Do you want to call him?"

"Of course we have to call, hurry up and don't let the leader wait." Zhang Wanli urged.

"Brother Zhang, won't you go?" Qin Shaoyan asked curiously.

"Do I need to take photos at any level?" Zhang Wanli smiled, "I have to go to the hotel where the athletes are staying to check it out."

"Brother Zhang, you must not spoil those professional athletes. If you have any problems, deal with them directly. Don't treat those people as foreign guests." Qin Shaoyan carefully warned, "We have signed contracts with them and we will not let them cause trouble. Whoever violates The contract will deduct money and fines.”

"Tell our own people not to be soft-hearted."

Zhang Wanli hesitated, "Isn't this bad?"

"What's wrong? This is saving us money." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "How about I let Edward tell you."

"Okay, okay, I understand." Zhang Wanli agreed.

Qin Shaoyan turned around and pulled Edward out of the nanny's car, and took photos with the leaders under the leadership of secretary Zhang Wanli.

……

The next day, Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan came to the campus network with happy faces.

"Congratulations, Mr. Qin."

Qin Shaoyan, who attended the celebration banquet yesterday, was still hungover, so he covered his forehead and agreed perfunctorily.

Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan didn't care and sat down with smiles.

"The recent data on the campus network is quite good. It has exceeded the number of registrations on the public network."

"It's okay." Qin Shaoyan poured himself a cup of hot water, "But now there are many registered users on the campus network who are not students. This is a good phenomenon."

"This shows that the popularity of the campus network has broken through." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "In addition to absorbing current students, the campus network will also focus on developing urban white-collar groups. These people have high incomes and are generally Internet users. Very good potential users.”

Xiong Xiaoge nodded with satisfaction, "We fully agree with Mr. Qin's vision."

Zheng Nan said with a smile, "We recently looked at the backend data of the campus network. The number of registered users every day has exceeded 10,000. In some days, it has reached more than 100,000. It is expected to exceed 5 million registered users by the end of the month."

"It's useless to have a large number of registered users. The key is to look at the number of daily active users." Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds and said, "Our main goal in the future is how to maintain user stickiness and increase the number of daily online users."

“Those who develop social networking sites must put content as king and attract users with high-quality content.”

“Of course, you have to spend money to make quality content.”

Xiong Xiaoge nodded, "That's what we came for today. I guessed that you should be short of money."

Qin Shaoyan was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiong Xiaoge in surprise.

Hey, Mr. Xiong will answer quickly.

Xiong Xiaoge stared at Qin Shaoyan with penetrating eyes, "Let's talk about the valuation of Series B."

Qin Shaoyan was a little strange, "Didn't we negotiate before, five billion."

Xiong Xiaoge was stunned, and it took him a few seconds to regain his composure, "You're not going to shout up?"

"Yes." Qin Shaoyan said very calmly, "I'm afraid I'll make a fuss."

"And I'm a very honest and trustworthy person. If I say it's five billion, it's five billion."

Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan looked at each other and were silent for a long time. Neither of them could figure out what medicine Qin Shaoyan was selling in the gourd.

Logically speaking, Qin Shaoyan should take this opportunity to increase the price.

"Really five billion?" Xiong Xiaoge asked again uncertainly.

"That's right." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "The valuation of Series B is five billion, and 10% will be released."

Xiong Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "No problem, we IDG and Sequoia voted!"

"But I have two conditions." Qin Shaoyan said suddenly, "You join me in investing in Jingdong Mall."

"Also, I want the Series C valuation to be 20 billion."

"Poof!" Xiong Xiaoge spurted out all the water he had just drank in his mouth.
