Chapter 172 Me! Fat Di! Hardcore Fans!
In the early years, Chen Rui was quite successful in Shang Hai,
He really lost his face and begged his grandpa to sue his grandma for so many rounds of financing for 【哔里哔哩】.
But you have to know that doing business is not just about looking good,
To put it bluntly, whether investors are willing to invest money in you depends on whether you can bring them benefits.
In these several rounds of financing, each round has less money than the previous round.
From this, we can see how unfavorable [Bilibili] is by the market.
Right now, after receiving a call from Boss Yang,
To be honest, Chen Rui was in a state of bewilderment,
This is just about to start looking for investors.
As a result, the investors came to the door by themselves?
Moreover, the other party is Yang Mi from Jiaxing?
That Yang Mi who cut them off just now?
This made Chen Rui feel as if he was dreaming.
However, after all, he is also a bigwig in the business world,
Chen Rui adjusted his mentality quickly,
After taking a deep breath, he quickly calmed himself down:
"Teacher Yang Mi, is what you just said true?"
"You Jiaxing are really willing to finance us [Bilibili]?"
Seeing that Chen Rui was still suspicious about this matter, Boss Yang smiled slightly and said:
"Chen Dong, don't worry."
"I'm not calling to joke with you.
"In fact, we really have the idea of financing [Bilibili].
"But it's not convenient for us to communicate on the phone for specific details."
"Look, let's take some time to meet up these few days, how about talking about this in person?"
"Chen Dong, look at your side, when will you have time?"
Right now, [Bilibili] may indeed be too short of money,
So after hearing Boss Yang's words, Chen Rui didn't even think about it, and immediately said:
"Teacher Yang Mi, I'm free anytime!"
"You see, why don't we go and visit you?"
"If you have time, today or tomorrow will be fine."
Hearing this, Boss Yang pondered for a moment:
"[Bilibili]'s headquarters is in Shanghai, right? That's just right, it's in the same place as our Jiaxing."
"Well, in my opinion, it is better to hit the sun than to choose the day.
"Just today."
"Let's go to [Bilibili] to visit later."
"Chen Dong, do you think it's convenient for you?"
“Convenient and convenient, we are always available here!”
After Chen Rui finished speaking, he thought about it, and hastily added another sentence:
"Then I'll be at the company, waiting for you to visit 053."
"Trouble Director Chen!"
After finishing talking with Boss Yang, Chen Rui couldn't help looking at Xu Yi:
"Xiao Xu, guess who called me just now?"
"It's Yang Mi from Jiaxing!"
"Teacher Yang Mi said that she is also very interested in our 【哔里哔哩】!"
"So I want to invest in us."
???
Hearing what Chen Rui said,
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment,
"Teacher Yang Mi is also very interested in our [Bilibili]?"
"seriously!"
"Didn't they snatch the [Huanxi Media] business from us just now?"
Chen Rui thought for a while, and said:
"Specifically, I don't quite know what's going on."
"But Yang Mi said that people from their Jiaxing will come to pay respects to us whenever they meet.
"Forget it, let's not talk about these irrelevant things!"
"Hurry up and notify the people below first, let's go over the company's hygiene first.
"Then notify the management, half an hour later, we will gather at the gate on time!"
"Teacher Yang Mi came to visit us, we must do a good job in reception no matter what!"
With the staff under his hands, after cleaning the [Station B] headquarters without stopping,
Chen Rui quickly took the management team and stood guard at the gate.
After more than half an hour,
Two black Mercedes-Benz business vehicles drove to the gate of the [Station B] headquarters,
Fatty and Lin Fei's little assistant opened the rear door directly after getting out of the car.
Afterwards, Lin Fei and Boss Yang got off the car directly.
As expected of a company that has been in the entertainment industry,
Seeing Boss Yang and Lin Fei,
Chen Rui, Xu Yi and the others were really amazed.
It's all a combination of handsome men and beautiful women!
Boss Yang and Fatty, who are wearing ladies' suits, are good-looking and temperamental,
Every gesture exudes a strange attraction,
After being amazed, Chen Rui (cicc) also came to his senses, and the next second he hastily brought people to greet him:
"I'm Chen Rui!"
"Teacher Yang Mi, it's a great honor for you to visit us【Bilibili】!"
Seeing Chen Rui greeting him, Boss Yang responded with a slight smile:
"Hi Dong Chen!"
"I'm Yang Mi!"
"To interrupt hastily is really causing you trouble."
Fatty stood next to Lin Fei, looking at the headquarters of [Station B] curiously with his beautiful big eyes:
"Is this the headquarters of [Station B]?"
"It's so beautiful!"
"Master, I really like this decoration style."
[Station B] The decoration style of the headquarters is still very two-dimensional.
There are good-looking anime stickers everywhere,
Compared with the old-fashioned workplace style decoration style,
Coming here now, it is really as if I am in the second dimension.
Especially the black and white "little robot" logo, it looks really cute.
Chen Rui obviously recognized Fatty too,
Hearing these words from her, Chen Rui said curiously:
"Ms. Fat Di, have you heard of us [B station]?"
"Yeah!"
Fatty smiled and nodded:
"Chen Dong, I am a loyal user of 【Bilibili】!"
"And my membership level is already LV.5!"
"Isn't it super powerful?"
N
Members of [Station B] are upgraded by answering questions, etc.
Those who can reach LV.5 or above are basically old users who have used it for a long time.
Chen Rui also didn't expect that the famous and famous teacher Fatty Di was also a die-hard user of 【B Station】,
In the next second, he was a little surprised and said:
"Is Teacher Pang Di also our user? We [Station B] are really honored!"
I don’t know if it’s because Pang Di is a senior user of [Bilibili],
The original strangeness between the two parties suddenly dissipated a lot.
The reception room of [Station B] is also decorated with a two-dimensional style.
After sitting here, Fatty will look at this for a while, and that for a while:
"Master, master, look, that is [Natsume's Book of Friends]!"
"I really like watching this anime!"
"At that time, I stayed up all night to finish watching it!"
I don't know if I heard what Fatty said,
Chen Rui couldn't help but said:
[Natsume's Book of Friends] can almost be regarded as one of the highest-quality few-step animations introduced by our [Station B]. "
"In the future, we will continue to introduce more and better anime."
"I also ask Teacher Fatty to continue to support us."
Fatty nodded immediately:
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I will definitely continue to support [Station B]!"
After taking his seat, Boss Yang introduced Lin Fei to Chen Rui:
"Chen Dong, this is Mr. Lin from our Jiaxing."
"This time, he is mainly in charge of the negotiation with you [Station B]."
After Boss Yang introduced Lin Fei to Chen Rui, Chen Rui shook hands with Lin Fei in a hurry.
In the next second, Lin Fei asked directly:
"Chen Dong, [Station B] is it difficult recently?"
11
Seeing Lin Fei hit the nail on the head as soon as he came up, Chen Rui was also embarrassed:
"President Lin, to be precise, the word recent should not be used to describe him.
"It should be said that we [Station B] have always been very difficult."
"It never got better.
When Chen Rui said this, he wasn't trying to sell himself badly,
It’s the case of 【B station】, it’s really like this,
So after hearing what he said, Lin Fei asked:
"Is it because of poor profitability?"
Hearing this, Chen Rui nodded directly:
"Yes!"
"Mr. Lin, don't look at the number of our users, it's growing day by day.
"But in fact, our ability to make money is really bad."
"But it's impossible!"
"Our original intention of creating [Bilibili] was not to turn it into a [completely commercialized] product.
"So, it's actually not difficult to understand how we can get to where we are today."
Lin Fei pondered for a moment, then asked:
"May I know the current equity distribution of 【Bilibili】?"
Chen Rui has already prepared relevant information,
So after hearing Lin Fei's inquiry, he immediately asked his assistant to hand over a document to Lin Fei:
"Mr. Lin, this is the current shareholding distribution of our [Station B]!"
【Bilibili Equity Distribution Record Table】
【Chen Rui Holdings: 19%】
【Xu Yi's shareholding: 13%】
【Founding team holding: 7%】
【Shareholding of American Merchant Group: 9%】
【International Data Group Holdings: 15%】
【Shareholding in Palm Technology: 3%】
【Goose factory shareholding: 11%】
The above is the specific information of [Station B] shareholders,
In addition, [Station B] still has 23% of the shares, which are circulating in the stock market.
Now, the market value of the website is almost 3 billion RMB!
That is to say, the value of their 1% shares is about 30 million.
After reading this form,
Lin Fei raised his head and looked at Chen Rui:
"Chen Dong, [Station B] we can vote."
"I just don't know how much financing share you plan to accept for the E-round financing.
Hearing Lin Fei's inquiry, Chen Rui didn't immediately answer his question,
Instead, he asked aloud:
"President Lin, before you officially answer this question!"
"May I take the liberty of asking you a question?"
"It's you Jiaxing, why do you think "we want to raise money for our station B?"!"
"You also know that our [Station B]'s revenue is very poor, right?"
It is not the first time Lin Fei has faced this kind of problem,
So without even thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said:
"I want to raise funds [Bilibili], naturally because I am optimistic about you!"
"Investors
, Gambling is nothing more than vision, judgment, luck, intuition, these things.
"So there's no need for Chairman Chen to ask me this question."
"If it weren't for our trust in [Bilibili], we wouldn't be here either."
Chen Rui pondered for a moment, then slowly said to Lin Fei:
"Boss Lin, the situation is like this."
"I won't hide it from you."
"We [Bilibili] are really short of money right now."
"But in fact, I don't know if you have carefully understood us.
"Even if we are short of money, we will not accept financing casually."
"If you want to finance us, there are certain conditions."
"And the most important condition is after financing,"
"Investors must not raise objections to our [Bilibili] basic business strategy."
Hearing this, Lin Fei asked:
"I would like to ask, what does Director Chen mean by the so-called [basic business strategy]?"
Hearing Lin Fei's inquiry, Chen Rui immediately gave an answer:
"That is to not force us [Station B] to make completely commercial changes!"
Hearing this, Lin Fei finally understood what Chen Rui meant.
What is the reason why [Bilibili] is not favored by investors?
That's because their profitability is too poor.
But in fact, it is not impossible for them to change all this.
As long as [Station B] is completely made into a commercial product, it will be fine to charge more advertising fees.
However, Chen Rui did not choose to do this, because this has violated the original intention of [Bilibili].
They don't want to change their bottom line for money,
In other words, they are really "head iron"!
Now in the industry, there are really not many conscientious companies like this that can fully consider for users.
Of course, [Station B] is actually a little commercialized now.
For this point, users should actually learn to understand,
As I said before, [Station B] Doesn’t it cost money to buy a fan? Doesn’t it cost money to operate? Doesn’t the salary of so many people cost money?
If they really don’t make any money at all, their company will go bankrupt in minutes, okay?
Now for Chen Rui and the management team of 【Bilibili】, what they think about is how to earn more money without affecting the user experience as much as possible.
For their ideas, Lin Fei can fully understand and is willing to support them.
Because, taking him for example, Lin Fei himself doesn’t like to watch anime, and commercials alone take up more than half of his time, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Fei couldn't help thinking of his previous life,
Compared with [Station B], several other video sites really maximize commercialization!
Too many ads!
Later, I also researched what is called advanced on-demand,
Originally, everyone opened membership to enhance their experience of watching movies and TV series.
The result is good, they are still not satisfied, they have to bite a few more bites from the user before they will be reconciled!
Tsk tsk, sure enough, capitalists are capitalists, and it’s no wonder they can get richer and richer.
Compared with Goose Factory Video, Youku, Hey Qiyi,
[Station B] can be regarded as a clear stream. .
