After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 57 Sent, but not completely
"If you're interested, I'll take you to the company in a few days to see how professional studios create internet celebrities."

Lu Liang thought of the companies invested by Meng Changkun, one of which was the MCN agency, a studio that operates the internet celebrity economy.

In simple terms, it is like an intermediate station, with one end connected to the internet celebrity and the other end connected to the platform, ensuring the continuous output of content and ultimately realizing a commercial organization that monetizes traffic.

"No need to be so professional, I'm just having fun."

Li Manli was surprised. She became a blogger mainly out of boredom, but when she found she could make money, she worked even harder.

I don’t think too much about it, and I won’t think about the future.

"It's up to you. If you want to make more money, I'll invest and help you build a studio."

"You can focus on your beauty, and there will be dedicated people to handle content design, video shooting, and post-editing."

Lu Liang talked about the benefits of setting up a studio. After all, he still had more than 80 million yuan and was worried about where to spend it.

Buying a house or gold is the most helpless investment channel, and he needs to find a good place for the funds.

Li Manli's head was about to smoke, she covered her head and moaned: "It's up to you to decide, I'm fine with it."

"Okay, let me help you research it first."

Lu Liang also remembered that Li Manli was nineteen years old this year and was probably still in high school at this time last year.

After dinner, the two went shopping in the mall and bought some clothes, shoes and hats for Lu Liang.

"Since you're going to support someone, you have to follow through with it."

Li Manli had her reasons, mainly because she felt Lu Liang had no particular requirements for clothing and that anything was fine as long as it fit.

He is obviously very rich, but he only has a few sets of clothes that he rotates around in. It seems that he won’t buy new ones unless they are worn out.

So the cute god waved his hand and bought him seven or eight sets of clothes and three pairs of shoes, directly emptying his own small treasury.

On the way back, Li Manli kept muttering, "I'm going to do a live broadcast to make money. I can't accompany you tonight."

Lu Liang glanced at her and patted her on the back of the head: "Why are you pretending? Just say what you want to say."

"Um...my relatives are here."

Li Manli was shy and embarrassed.

Lu Liang gave her a great gift, and she should have given him her body in return, but it was just not the right time.

"I thought it was something else. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I like you."

Lu Liang suddenly became affectionate and relieved. He had eaten a lot outside today and was not really hungry.

"Brother Liang, why are you so nice to me?"

Li Manli choked up and was so moved that she gave him a passionate kiss, leaving a mark on Lu Liang's neck.

At night, Li Manli started a live broadcast in the living room, complaining to netizens about the difficulty of getting a driver's license. She accidentally revealed her Porsche car keys, which caused a group of netizens to exclaim: Rich woman hungry
In the study, Lu Liang learned about the operating model of the MCN organization. As he studied it in depth, he found that there was great potential.

The profit model of internet celebrities is to fulfill people’s childhood dreams. If everyone in the country gives a dime, they can become billionaires.

It’s different from celebrities, who are held in high esteem by their fans. Unlike internet celebrities, they are unable to lower their status to earn a dime.

Lu Liang retrieved Li Manli’s account data, which showed that she had 16 followers on a single platform, 120 captains, and 11 admirals.

The content of the video is about cooking. Apart from her beauty, wealthy family and love of cosplay, there doesn't seem to be any other highlights.

This can attract so many otakus to watch. If a studio is established and managed properly, it should be able to become the mainstay of Bilibili.

In a blink of an eye, the clock struck twelve in the morning.

Lu Liang was stunned, looking surprised: "Ofo sent it?"

[September 9, Mobike, Series A financing valuation of 28 million US dollars]

Lu Liang was hurt, not because he felt bad about losing millions investing in ofo, but because he made this investment based on his own judgment without relying on anything else.

“But the judgment seems to be correct.”

Lu Liang walked to the balcony, lit a cigarette, looked at the river view, thought about the problem from a different perspective, and his mood suddenly improved.

Mobike was registered in April with only 1000 million in funding. Its product was launched in mid-May, and by the end of September, it had a valuation of 1800 million US dollars.

In more than four months, the company's valuation has increased 11 times, which is enough to show that he chose the right track, but bet on the wrong horse.

Lu Liang flicked off the ash from his cigarette, returned to his computer desk, and pulled up detailed information about Mobike.

Two key figures were found, Hu Weiwei and Li Bing.

Hu Weiwei is the founder of Mobike. She graduated from the Journalism Department of Hangzhou University. After graduation, she became an automotive reporter and met Li Bing.

Li Bing founded Bitauto in 05 and listed it overseas in 10. Last year, he ranked 125th on the Hurun Wealth List with assets of 79 billion. It can be said that Li Bing is the financial backer of Hu Weiwei and Mobike.

"Ofo probably didn't send it, it just gave up the leading position."

Lu Liang's brows relaxed. There were still more than three months left, and it would not be easy to determine the winner in the shared bicycle market.

What's more, ofo is a pioneer.
Up to now, it still holds the leading position in the industry.

Probably just surpassed, but not completely sent.

"Xiao Chen, book me a high-speed train to Hangzhou now. I'll leave tomorrow morning and come back tomorrow night. You can come with me."

Lu Liang contacted Chen Jinchun and planned to go to Hangzhou to see if he could invest in Mobike to hedge the risks.

In this way, whether it is Mobike or ofo.

Whoever laughs last will not suffer any loss.

……

The next morning, Lu Liang drove to the high-speed rail station and found Chen Jinchun still sleepy.

Yesterday, Tang Caidie took her to recruit people, and also helped her catch up on many assistant work matters.

This includes what to prepare when traveling on business with the boss, such as booking tickets, booking a car, and booking a hotel.

By the time she was ready, it was almost dawn. She only slept for more than two hours before rushing to the high-speed rail station.

Chen Jinchun ate the buns dully, but he did not forget to bring one for Boss Lu: "Boss Lu, this is for you."

Lu Liang smiled and did not refuse her kindness. He came over right after waking up and he had not eaten breakfast either.

An hour later, the Fuxing train arrived in Hangzhou.

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class that the Four Seasons Hotel was responsible for picking up passengers also stopped at the entrance and exit of the high-speed rail station early in the morning.

"Why don't you go back to the hotel and rest."

Chen Jinchun kept dozing off, and Lu Liang also thought that since the trip was arranged at the last minute, she probably didn't get much rest last night.

"I just closed my eyes for a while, but I feel much better now."

Chen Jinchun let out a long breath, and to prove that he was in high spirits, he opened his eyes wide.

After all, today was her first day as an assistant and she didn't want to leave a bad impression on her boss.

Seeing this, Lu Liang stopped trying to persuade them and told the driver to go to the university town to see how Mobike operated first.

As the car entered the university town, there were seven or eight small red cars parked on the roadside at almost every intersection.

The design of Mobike is obviously better looking and more fashionable than that of Ofo, and people riding them can be seen everywhere on the road.

"Park here."

Lu Liang stopped the driver and took Chen Jinchun with him, each of them scanning a small red car.

The deposit for each bike is 299 yuan, and the first deposit will give you five hours of riding time.

The cycling price is relatively expensive, 2 yuan per hour, but there are many discount activities.

For example, 5 yuan for two days of free riding, 10 yuan for seven days of free riding.

"I really should ask Dai Wei to come over and take a look."

Lu Liang is riding on the road.
Think about the entire operating logic behind it.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s profitable or not. The current price is so low that they can’t make much money. What they want is the customer’s deposit.

Get the deposit, expand the market, raise funds, expand the market again, raise funds again. The more audiences you have, the bigger the market size will be, the more deposits you will get, and the bigger the market will be...

Lu Liang rode for a while and planned to get his deposit back, but was told that it would take five working days to get it back, which indirectly confirmed his guess.

Lu Liang didn't care about the deposit. He parked the car on the side of the road, waved to the driver, and told him, "Go to Xiaoshan Entrepreneurship Park."

Thanks to Li Bing's help, even though Mobike started late, it has its own factory and can produce for its own use.

Unlike ofo, which can only find factories to produce its products, its quality control, quality and styles are far inferior to Mobike.

Only the cost is lower than that of Mobike, but this is also intentional by Mobike. Its style and materials are destined to make it expensive.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to collect a deposit of 299 yuan. You get what you pay for, and it’s more comfortable to ride than the shared bikes.

Ofo lost its leadership position after catching up from behind, and it’s not unfair.
