Chapter 805: A Potential Opponent Not to Be Underestimated

After sending Ding Lei away, Wu Tao felt much more at ease.

Since no one is optimistic about the Xiaonei network model in the short term, it couldn't be better.

At the very least, they can gain enough opportunity for the Xiaonei blog model, and when the website really grows, they will imitate the trend to grab customers, and Tianjing Company will not have to worry about it.

But having said that, the current school network architecture relies on the most advanced web2.0 technology, even if other domestic counterparts want to imitate and follow suit, it is still somewhat difficult.

Besides, Ding Lei really brought good news when he came here today.

NetEase is about to go public, which means that the earliest Internet venture capital case of Apocalypse Investment has finally reached the harvest time.

The next call will be to Xue Jiaqian to ask about the details of the listing.

Xue Jiaqian's voice was also full of excitement. After all, she was behind the case of Netease, and now it is listed and cashed out, which can be regarded as her performance: "Boss, the initial listing price of Netease is set at 15.5 US dollars per share, with a total market value of 465 million US dollars. Apocalypse Investment Occupy nearly half of the shares, worth 227 million US dollars."

"...In Netease, our investment rate of return is as high as 117!"

"Good job!" Wu Tao praised, he should be praised to his subordinates, and he should be awarded: "When the time comes, you will be rewarded according to your merits and deeds. Just tell me what you want."

Xue Jiaqian was full of joy when she heard it. No matter how much the value of this sentence can be realized in the end, at least this tone makes people feel comfortable.

Moreover, she had already been rewarded with a sports car before, so she knew that Wu Tao had always been generous with his actions.

"Boss, it's too early to talk about this." Xue Jiaqian avoided the topic for the time being, and asked instead: "By the way, boss, has Mr. Ding approached you? Have you promised him?"

"You mean going to the stage to ring the bell?" Wu Tao confirmed: "It's fine for you to come on stage on behalf of Tianqi Investment, and I'll go to the scene at most to attend."

"But, such a good opportunity..."

Before Xue Jiaqian could finish speaking, Wu Tao interrupted: "I've already decided on this matter. Besides, after NetEase goes public, have the two sides agreed on any specific monetization rules?"

As soon as Xue Jiaqian heard this tone, she understood Wu Tao's intention, "Boss, do you want to cash out as soon as possible?"

"That's right, keep 20% of the shares, and cash out the rest." Wu Tao gave direct instructions.

"But boss, haven't you always been optimistic about the development trend of NetEase?" Xue Jiaqian was a little confused.

"I am still very optimistic about the long-term development, but in the short term, in the US Internet market, no one can avoid the impact of the Internet bubble."

Xue Jiaqian knew the elegant meaning when she heard Xiange, and immediately responded: "Boss, I understand. After NetEase goes public, I will cash out as quickly as possible and lock in profits without arousing Boss Ding's disgust."

After hanging up Xue Jiaqian's call, Wu Tao was in a very good mood.

At this moment, Qiu Wuyan, who had always been guilty, knocked on the door and came in with a grievance on his face, crying and saying: "Boss, I am really inexperienced in the matter of Lotus MP3 advertisements. I thought that 100,000 yuan was already a lot, so I couldn't wait." I agreed to it, and I didn't even have time to ask you for instructions..."

"That's enough, that's enough!" Wu Tao interrupted her: "You are inexperienced, and it is inevitable that you will be fooled by others. Who is Mr. Xiao from Yuanqi Technology? Lotus mobile phones have already been sold in the international market. And the uptick is obvious. Lotus MP3 players are a novelty these days, but they sell well. You can't play her, and I don't blame you."

After saying that, Wu Tao waved his hand and said, "Go, go."

Seeing Qiu Wuyan go away with an unconvinced face, Wu Tao smiled silently.

Just be unconvinced! There is no harm without comparison, so work hard.

But after all, Xiao Zixia had been with him for a long time, and she handled everything properly. In order to advertise on the school's Internet, I called Wu Tao before lunch.

Wu Tao picked up the phone and cut straight to the point: "Zixia, even if you don't call today, I'm going to call you. Look at you bullying this newcomer, you almost lost your confidence!"

"No way, boss?" Xiao Zixia said in a very relaxed tone: "I heard that little girl is very capable. Besides, a contract of 100,000 yuan is already a lot for a new website that has been established for three months. What's more, we also sponsored 10 MP3 players as prizes for the event!"

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat.

Wu Tao's words could only stop at the end, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, what is the sales situation of Lotus MP3 players now?"

"It's okay!" Xiao Zixia's tone was a bit flat, "It's been on the market for more than a month, and the domestic market shipments are only 50,000 units."

Wu Tao heard: "For new things, the domestic market is not mature enough, so there must be time to adapt."

The implication is that so little is normal.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zixia's tone changed at the next moment: "Yes, but maybe it's because of luck that the east is not bright and the west is bright. This time MP3 players have performed well in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia markets, and the shipment volume has reached 500,000 tower."

"5...500,000 units?"

This time, Wu Tao was really caught. According to the current price of Lotus MP3 at 200 US dollars, it is almost 100 million US dollars in sales!

Wu Tao came back to his senses, and then realized Xiao Zixia's way of pretending to suppress first and then rise, and said with a smile: "Zixia, you are inflated! Let's not talk about the international market, the domestic market alone has nearly 100 million In terms of sales, why did the advertising for Tianjing Company reach 100,000 yuan?"

As soon as Xiao Zixia heard it, she immediately began to complain, "Boss, besides the advertisements placed on the Internet platform, Lotus MP3 also has a share in print media, radio and television media. The total cost of marketing is there. not much."

After some explanations, Xiao Zixia took another step back, "Why don't you, boss, let me add some advertising investment to Tianjing Company?"

"That's all," Wu Tao denied, "I was just talking casually."

"Thank you, boss, for your understanding." Xiao Zixia replied mellowly and appropriately no matter what she said, "To be honest, Samsung has also started to launch MP3 players, and the competition pressure of Lotus MP3 players in the next stage is really not small. I'm afraid We have to advertise in the Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian markets, please endorse."

When Xiao Zixia said this, she quickly won Wu Tao over.

Wu Tao snorted and sneered, and immediately ordered: "It doesn't matter, just spend what should be spent. We, the pioneers, have no reason to lose to a follower!"

After hanging up Xiao Zixia's phone call, Wu Tao couldn't help thinking about the Samsung Group, his great enemy.

At least the technological background and product competitiveness of Samsung Group in the previous life are almost on par with Apple.

Now being followed by such an opponent, can Yuanqi Technology not be under too much pressure?

As for the Lotus MP3, Samsung Group's technological advantages in semiconductors are beyond the reach of Yuanqi Technology.

It seems that the application of localized chips is imminent.
