Chapter 91 MiTalk Launches! Valuation Soars to 15 Billion (Subscribe)
Chen Yansen locked the car and went upstairs, followed closely by Song Yuncheng.

Less than half of the people were at their workstations; the rest had gone to the cafeteria for dinner.

Wang Zihao looked up and saw Chen Yansen, greeted him, and also saw Song Yuncheng behind him. Although he was puzzled, he did not ask any more questions.

"Brother Sen, let's go have dinner together. There's a new beef ramen restaurant in the second cafeteria, and it tastes pretty good." Wang Zihao walked up and said with a smile.

"Next time, I've eaten in the city."

Chen Yansen sat down, leaned back, took out his mobile phone to play, and wanted to download a new game from the App Store, but suddenly saw a promotional picture of MiTalk in the carousel.

MiTalk is out?

WeChat isn’t far behind!
Chen Yansen didn't think much about it and downloaded and installed it directly. After trying it for a while, he found that it could enable voice intercom, send text and pictures, and even group chat. It had all the necessary functions.

This thing is really useful. In 2010, sending a MMS with a mobile phone cost 0.5-0.9 yuan per message, and the size could not exceed 100kb. More than ten years later, I couldn't even imagine it.

Unfortunately, Juner launched the product first, but still failed to surpass WeChat.

Chen Yansen thought to himself that if he were reborn in 2009, he would at least have to come up with a cloud chat, quick chat or flying chat to dampen Xiao Ma Ge's enthusiasm.

Forget it, I’ll give way to you old guys in the 3G era. 4G is my world, and I’ll beat you until you scream.

Every era has a big brother, and Chen Yansen wants to become the big brother of the next era.

"WeChat was able to expand rapidly in a short period of time by leveraging QQ to divert traffic and load QQ friend lists. It seems that FoxTao's Series A financing can't really leave Penguin behind."

Chen Yansen was thinking in his mind.

At this time, Song Yuncheng on the opposite side reacted and suddenly realized that everything she and Chen Yansen did in the afternoon was on the list of 100 little things couples must do.

Her fair face turned red instantly and she lowered her head, afraid that Chen Yansen would discover her.

"Song Yuncheng, you'll be hosting the Hangzhou Sijiqing Fashion Salon on the 7th of next month. Zhang Yifeng will be your assistant, and Hu Li and Xu Kun will be accompanying you. Channel directors from several vertical e-commerce platforms will also be in attendance. Be mindful of seizing business opportunities."

Chen Yansen suddenly spoke, startling Song Yuncheng.

"Okay, then are you going?" Song Yuncheng calmed down and asked.

"No." Chen Yansen shook his head.

This fashion salon exchange meeting is mainly to prepare for the new spring clothes in March next year. According to the user profile of Fox Tao, 70% are girls. Only by developing categories with strong relevance can the website performance be greatly improved.

Otherwise, if FoxTao only sells categories with low repurchase rates such as digital appliances, furniture and home furnishings, it will sooner or later go bankrupt.

Categories such as furniture, department stores, food, clothing, and beauty products are the core categories that support an e-commerce company.

For example, Dongfang initially only dealt in 3C and home appliances, but later it took over the book business of its "good brother" Li Guoqing, and then involved in food, home furnishings and beauty categories, and finally even small categories such as car accessories were not spared.

"I understand." Song Yuncheng nodded slightly, frowning his beautiful eyebrows, as if thinking about the process and details of the exchange meeting, and what benefits Fox Tao could gain from the meeting.

Chen Yansen glanced at her, then stood up and left the Entrepreneurship Park.

In addition to the clothing salon, once the number of investment promotion team members doubles, he will send category and investment promotion personnel to participate in next year's wine fair, chocolate festival, beauty, home appliance and digital expo, etc.

On the one hand, it allows us to get a close look at the online needs of brands, and on the other hand, it allows us to train these new recruits.

Attracting investment and attracting new clients is something that is achieved step by step. How much room for growth can there be if you stay in the office all the time?

Back at 0418, Chen Yansen took a shower and lay on the bed.

Unable to sleep for a while, he sent text messages to Mengjie and Song Yuncheng respectively, asking them to register for MiTalk and come online to chat with him.

"Wow! This app allows you to post pictures for free, it's awesome!" Mengjie said in surprise after trying it for a few minutes.

Haha, this is just the beginning. There will be video call function in the future.

"Send me a photo." Chen Yansen replied.

"I'm wearing so little that it's not convenient to take pictures." Mengjie replied immediately.

"I just like looking at inconvenient photos." Chen Yansen smiled.

"Why do you want me to download this app?" Song Yuncheng sent a message.

"Chat with me." Chen Yansen replied.

"I'm working on the Fox Tao product promotion PPT and the Hangzhou salon planning plan. I really don't have time to chat with you." Song Yuncheng refused bluntly.

Chen Yansen glanced at the time. It was 21:15 PM. He probably thought Song Yuncheng hadn't finished get off work yet. He thought for a moment and replied, "Email me the document. I'll help you sort it out."

"Thank you, Master. Smiley face.jpg" Song Yuncheng was worried about what to do. She was good at making product promotion PPTs, but she had no experience in industry exchange meetings.

I searched on Baidu for a long time but didn't find much useful information.

"Call me daddy.anger.jpg" Chen Yansen replied to her.

"...I've sent the file to your email." Song Yuncheng sat at his workstation and muttered softly, "Chen Yansen, you're such a pervert! When I become rich, I'll make you call me mom."

This thought came to her mind subconsciously, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Not long after, Chen Yansen replied to the email and reorganized the overall plan. Song Yuncheng only needed to fill in the content and improve the details of the exchange meeting.

"Take a picture and show it to me." After giving the instructions, Chen Yansen asked for "remuneration" without any hesitation.

"Thank you, boss. I'm off work." Song Yuncheng smiled, squinted his eyes, and walked out of the Entrepreneurship Park with light steps.

"Buzzing—"

Song Yuncheng took out her cell phone and saw Chen Yansen asking for a photo. She looked around, stood under the street light, and with a "click", sent a selfie.

Chen Yansen clicked on the picture. In the photo, Song Yuncheng was wearing that pink down jacket. A ray of dim light fell on her cheek, and her nose, cherry lips, made her look particularly charming.

"I won't let you see it for nothing. I'll take a picture for you as well." Chen Yansen took a picture with his upper body naked and sent it over.

Song Yuncheng glanced at the photo and burst out laughing. She put away her phone, blew some warm air on her cold little hands, and then walked towards the dormitory building.

……

……

The end of the year is approaching and FoxTao is extremely busy.

There are three days of holiday for New Year's Day. We can't let all the staff stay in the Entrepreneurship Park on duty just to ensure the super rebate activities.

Therefore, the investment promotion and category teams are under tremendous pressure and have to set up three days of brand group activities in advance, which is a lot of work.

Xu Dan was busy recruiting people for the customer service team, as well as conducting initial interviews for investment promotion and social recruitment in related categories.

Chen Yansen, having little else to do, decided to launch a full-scale attack on Zhang Hanhua. After figuring out Zhang Hanhua's partnership channels, he first spoke with Liang Youzhi of Penguin. Then, through a third party, he found a partner that had been dismissed by Zhang Hanhua. A mature plan was quickly put into action.

Although last week's fake wine incident seemed to have nothing to do with Zhang Hanhua, perhaps Zhang Hanhua had not been exposed yet, and Chen Yansen did not want to have someone hostile to him hiding behind him.

Beat him to death first!
After arranging everything, Chen Yansen felt happy and got up to attend the business school's New Year's Eve party.

"Zihao, you stay at the annual meeting tonight. Mengjie and I will be there after 7 o'clock."

Before leaving, Chen Yansen gave specific instructions.

"Okay, Wenbo and Pengfei said that everyone will be more comfortable without you here." Wang Zihao nudged Zhang Wenbo with his elbow and joked with a smile.

"Brother Sen, believe me, I didn't say that." Zhang Wenbo waved his hands repeatedly and denied it flatly.

"Brother Sen, you understand me. I have always respected you the most." Xiang Pengfei smiled and flattered him.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Chen Yansen was too lazy to waste time with them. He cursed and drove his BMW 750 straight to the business school auditorium.

Walking into the backstage, he saw Mengjie from afar.

Her makeup tonight is exquisite, her eyes are clear and bright, and she is wearing a pair of blue contact lenses, which makes her look smart and charming. Her curly short hair makes her look playful and cute.

She was wearing a blue halter gauze dress and the pearl necklace around her neck was very eye-catching. She looked like two completely different people compared to her image six months ago.

"Aren't you cold wearing so little?" Chen Yansen walked up to her, grabbed her little hand, and said in a gentle voice.

Mengjie's hands are small, soft and warm.

"There are hot packs stuck inside my skirt, so I won't be cold." Mengjie replied with a smile.

"Really? Let me take a look." Chen Yansen said, pretending to lift her skirt.

"Stop it! I've agreed with the host that we'll be on stage at 18:30, so we can leave half an hour earlier." Meng Jie stepped back.

"Okay, then I'll go to the auditorium and wait for your performance." Chen Yansen smiled, chatted with Mengjie for a while, and then walked towards the auditorium.

The business school has many majors and many freshmen. When Chen Yansen entered, he found that there was not even a single empty seat. He didn't care and just leaned against the wall.

A girl wearing glasses next to him caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

After hesitating for a moment, she took the initiative to talk to Chen Yansen: "Classmate, do you want this seat?"

"Is it okay?" Chen Yansen asked with a smile.

The girl saw his smirk and thought Chen Yansen was incredibly handsome. She quickly stood up and offered him her seat: "I have an appointment with a classmate to go to the movies. I'll be leaving soon."

"Thanks, this position is just right for taking a picture of my girlfriend." Chen Yansen emphasized.

girlfriend?
The girl with glasses felt disappointed and almost blurted out: Classmate, why don’t you just stand there.

Chen Yansen ignored her. He took out his cell phone and chatted with Song Yuncheng while waiting for Mengjie to appear.

After performing three consecutive shows, Mengjie finally walked onto the stage with the microphone.

"The starlight is like tears, the unspoken longing turns into dark circles under the eyes, the enthusiasm of hundreds of days is disintegrated by a cold snap."

"..."

"You are in the room, like a slide, you spread in my eyes, you are on my phone, you are on my laptop, you cannot be isolated..."

Mengjie has a beautiful singing voice and she reproduced the song almost perfectly. In addition, she is a girl full of energy, which attracted the attention of a large number of boys.

Ten minutes later, Mengjie changed her clothes and walked out with Chen Yansen.

"Mengjie, you look so beautiful tonight. This flower is for you."

As soon as the two of them walked out of the auditorium, they saw a boy running towards them excitedly with a bouquet of roses.

Mengjie was stunned and looked embarrassed because her boyfriend was right next to her.

This boy is so annoying. She has rejected him hundreds of times, but she didn't expect him to come and give her flowers without even saying hello.

I clearly told you I have a boyfriend. How did he get into college when he has such poor comprehension skills?
"Yo, tulips and roses, you have quite the aesthetic sense, buddy. Thanks."

Chen Yansen snatched the rose from his hand without saying a word.

"Who are you?" The boy looked confused and asked loudly, looking at his empty hands.

"Senior He, he is my boyfriend." Meng Jie's words completely extinguished the boy's hope.

The boy lowered his head and blushed.

Mengjie had rejected him with this statement before, but he had never seen Chen Yansen come to the business school to find Mengjie, so he thought it was an excuse. If he had known this, he would definitely not come to be a clown.

"Man, this flower smells so good!"

Chen Yansen shook the bouquet of flowers and said something murderous.

The boy cried out "Ah", ran out in shame, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"You are so bad." Meng Jie couldn't stop laughing.

"This is for you." Chen Yansen offered it to Meng Jie as a token of his gratitude.

"I don't want the ones bought by others, I want the ones you bought." Meng Jie put her hands behind her back.

"Silly girl, wouldn't it be nice to use the money I saved to buy you a gift? That boy is so stupid that it would be a waste to just throw the flowers away. Let him feel a sense of participation." Chen Yansen grinned.

It’s a pity that the boy left early. If he had heard this, he might have wanted to jump into Pearl Lake on the spot.

"You are so bad." Mengjie said with a smile.

"Let's go, Zihao is waiting." Chen Yansen took Mengjie's hand, got in the car together, and drove towards the city center.

At the same time, venture capital firms that had previously visited FoxTao have obtained FoxTao’s Q3 business and financial statements.

In October, the average daily active users were 167,000, the average daily order volume was 25,000, the average daily sales volume was 810,000, and the gross profit for the month was 357 million;

How profitable is shopping guide e-commerce?
Originally, the highest valuation of FoxTao by venture capital was only 7 million or 8 million. After receiving this material, the valuation immediately soared to more than 15 billion.
