Feng Liangyun, Zhuang Ningyue, Feng Kelun are all here, and of course little Pistachio Ping'er is also here.
Ping'er, who is 9 years old this year, has grown a bit taller than last year. She is holding her sister in her arms and coaxing her seriously, just like a little adult.
But she was still so attached to Xiao Qi, she would sit in Xiao Qi's arms most of the time, talking to Xiao Qi in a coquettish voice about the little things in her daily life.
Xiao Qi has always cherished his daughter's thoughts.
Because when children grow up, they usually won’t tell their parents such things.
Originally, Ping'er said that after dinner, she wanted Xiao Qi to accompany her to the room to play games, and she also wanted to sing and dance for her father. However, Feng Kexin directly pulled her daughter into the room to do her homework, and she was so angry that she could even have a little girl hanging on her mouth.
gourd.
Feng Kexin naturally wanted Xiao Qi to guide her younger brother's company affairs. After all, she saw how hard Feng Kelun had been working and how entangled he was in his heart during this period, and it hurt her in her heart.
With the continuous success of his career, Feng Kelun is completely different from what he was a year ago. He is full of high spirits. His photos and his beautiful photo sharing company are often seen in newspapers and magazines.
Thinking about it, if his ex-girlfriend saw Feng Kelun's current situation, she would definitely regret breaking up with him!
"Kelen, tell me about the recent situation and your plans!"
Sitting on the sofa and drinking the weak tea made by the servant, Xiao Qi asked harmoniously.
"Yes, brother-in-law." Feng Kelun nodded. "The number of users of Meitu Sharing yesterday exceeded 300 million, including 100 million monthly active users. It's a pity that it has not entered the Chinese mainland market, otherwise it would easily exceed 5
It’s easy to have 100 million users! But it’s not bad now. Our 100 million users give us a lot of room for valuation!
In particular, we actively invite celebrities to open accounts on Meitu Sharing and post their own photos. The current Internet development is a major trend. Therefore, many European and American movie stars, football stars, and celebrities have also begun to try Meitu Sharing. Eventually
The most popular one is of course the one you invited, brother-in-law, Michael Jackson. He has more than 20 million followers, which is simply eye-catching!
Also because of the increasing star effect, the number of users who choose to share beautiful pictures is also increasing. Just a few days ago, K has proposed to me the intention of a wholly-owned acquisition. The valuation is 3.5 billion US dollars, of which 1.5 billion is in cash.
, the remaining 2 billion US dollars were exchanged for K’s shares.
In addition to the acquisition of a group of European and American companies, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is also contacting me frequently. Now the Hong Kong stock market has been greatly affected by the financial crisis. The Hang Seng Index continues to fall, and it is a rainy and rainy fall. In this way, the stock market cannot be seen.
A drop that reverses hopes is more uncomfortable than a sudden plunge. Therefore, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange wants to find a good company to be listed in the past six months, and then boost everyone's confidence, and also maintain the territory of the Hang Seng Index."
Xiao Qi nodded slightly. "What do you think about being acquired or going public?"
"I don't like being acquired, because this is my own business. I also don't like going public. The purpose of going public is to obtain development funds. With your brother-in-law as a major shareholder, I have no shortage of funds at all." Feng Kelun said stubbornly. "
So I decided to continue doing it seriously. Even if it is just a private company, we must do a better job in sharing beautiful pictures."
"But if a company wants to develop and grow, it must have a commercialization process. Otherwise, it will only rely on burning money without a stable source of income. All success will be in the mirror and have no foundation." Xiao Qi said.
"I have thought about this seriously," Feng Kelun said. "So far, there are no other good examples for reference, but in terms of the successful experience of k and r, I can think of two options. The first is to learn k
The process of building your own social advertising network will be very arduous, because K is still exploring. Then there is learning R and charging for access rights to data streams. This is also the main income of R now, although it is not able to
Let them turn it into profit, but it is also a better way."
"To put it simply, it's just advertising and service charges." Xiao Qi concluded for him.
"Yes." Feng Kelen nodded, "But I don't plan to do that so far. I plan to start commercialization attempts when Meitu Sharing reaches 500 million registrations and monthly activity exceeds 300 million people.
Of course, brother-in-law, you will still need to invest money at that time. Our management will reduce our own shares appropriately, and we cannot always ask you to invest money without us paying anything."
"Don't worry about that. Your work is still very good. The program for sharing beautiful pictures has been continuously improved. The server has not crashed once. Your private photo albums are also very good at keeping them confidential. They are no worse than those experts in the United States." Xiao Qi said, "Not only
Money counts as investment, but mental effort can also be counted as investment, so unless it is an IPO, there is no need to dilute the shares."
"The engineers in Hong Kong are actually very capable, and many of them in Silicon Valley are also overseas students from Hong Kong. Now that our beautiful photo sharing is so popular, it is normal to recruit suitable candidates." Feng Kelun sighed, "As for talking about doing it,
Well, that’s because, brother-in-law, your plan is very detailed, you just need to follow it, there is no need to think at all."
"It's one thing to understand, but it's another to do it well." Xiao Qi smiled and shook his hand, "We won't talk about that anymore. If you want to apply for funds in the next step, the review must follow the company's rules.
, I hope you can do better so that you can get more R&D funds."
"Okay, I will work hard!" Feng Kelen nodded seriously.
He was very satisfied with Xiao Qi's business affairs.
After all, sharing beautiful pictures is Xiao Qi's idea. If he keeps investing money in it at any time without asking any reason, it will feel a bit childish to him.
Now everything is done in accordance with the rules and regulations, which can reflect his role in the company.
Now the headquarters of Meitu Sharing has been moved to Hoi Bun Road, Kwun Tong. There is a building there. It was a birth gift given to Bao Er by Li Xiaochao and Yan Chenglong. Feng Kexin saw that Meitu Sharing has become so famous, and then joined others
It was no longer suitable to rent an office building, so I lent this building to my brother.
In fact, Feng Kexin wanted to give it to Feng Kelun. After all, Li Shaozhi had given a commercial building in Causeway Bay of greater value to her brother, so why couldn't she give it to her?
But Feng Kelun resolutely refused. This was a gift given to his niece. How could an uncle occupy it?
However, it is possible to rent. The renovation started in March this year and has now been moved. The entire building has a very dazzling sense of technology and looks very pleasing to the eye. Needless to say, it has been praised by designers and ordinary people.
Feng Kexin did it again. She invited professional designers from the United States to come over and spent a lot of money to build this beautiful picture sharing headquarters.
Compared with before, Feng Kelen is now very ambitious in his career.
He enjoys the feeling of being sought after by others, the feeling that reporters follow him every day and wants to interview him, and he also enjoys the fun brought by the company's growth.
But he did not lose his head. Feng Kelun clearly understood that what he relied on was not Xiao Qi, but the beautiful picture sharing company in his hand.
Only when the Meitu Sharing Company becomes stronger will he continue to enjoy this highly sought-after life. If there is no Meitu Sharing Company, he will at most be just a kid from a rich family who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.
Therefore, Feng Kelun did his job very seriously. He basically stayed in the company for 10 hours a day and basically didn't take much rest seven days a week.
That is because Feng Kelen himself works so hard, and many of his engineers and senior executives also dare not slack off.
This is the case with the current beauty photo sharing company. Although the salary is not the highest, Feng Kelun promised to give them corresponding shares as rewards; although it is not the most valuable in Hong Kong, it is the one that attracts the most attention among all companies in Hong Kong.
The most popular companies have become emerging fashion-leading technology companies.
Such a great sense of honor made them hold their heads high when they walked outside.
There are many people in Hong Kong who have made a fortune doing business, but there are very few people who can make money in this high-tech field and become rich.
Nowadays, many newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong finally have examples of countering the constant ridicule of Taiwanese people. High-tech companies such as Meitu Sharing Company can be established and developed in Hong Kong. How dare you say that we do not have the soil to cultivate electronic technology?
Many people are envious of these elites because they have caught up with the best of the Internet era. Xiao Qi's investment in their company has greatly improved their valuation, not to mention that after they develop and grow, their valuation will also increase.
There is potential for further increases.
But to be honest, no one, including Feng Kelen, thinks about making a fortune. What they care about is overcoming one problem after another, achieving breakthroughs again and again, and increasing the number of users again and again.
When a company is first established and developed, the concept is similar to when a country was first established.
They all have the spirit of forging ahead and work hard regardless of gains and losses, just to realize their ambitions.
After Hong Kong people get serious, their work enthusiasm is also very admirable. If you don't know much, then you can basically understand how hard they work by looking at how the artists of TVB TVB work.
In any case, apart from the geographical and policy advantages, the biggest reason why Hong Kong has developed to where it is today, their own efforts cannot be ignored. (To be continued)
