Li Lei said this and gave everyone a buffer period. Qin Liang nodded: "Let's go have some food first and continue to discuss in the afternoon."

"This relationship is good. Mr. Li said this just now, and I am really a little hungry." Shang Fuhai responded with a smile.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Shang, let's have a simple meal first at noon. In the evening, I'll invite Mr. Shang and you to taste our authentic Shanghai dishes." Qin Liang immediately showed a guilty expression of neglecting the guests.

Han Zhengyu chatted with the shareholder representatives of two other investment companies through communication. He knew that one of the other party was Zhao Deshun and the other was Fang Zhengwei.

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Fang, what do you think about the matter we just discussed?" Han Zhengyu asked them.

Zhao Deshun smiled and said, "It's great. What Mr. Qin said is good for all parties in the long run. I think this should be the case. Now Qutoutiao's product is mature, and we should take advantage of this time to show its real value, rather than being confused and without specific positioning like now."

"As the saying goes well, and by reaching a consensus by the market, we will take this step sooner or later. What does Mr. Han think?"

Fang Zhengwei also followed Zhao Deshun and said, "Mr. Zhao is right. What was the purpose of our investment at the beginning? To put it bluntly, it was not to make money."

"How to earn?"

Fang Zhengwei paused for a moment and continued: "There were no excellent products in the past. Now, I think Qutoutiao's product is very mature, but we still need to reach a value consensus with all parties. How to reach this consensus? We must place it in the market to recognize it. From the perspective of our company, it also recognizes Qutoutiao's Series B financing."

Speaking of this, he looked at Han Zhengyu and continued: "In addition, the suggestions made by Shang Dong just now are very good. Before the B round of financing, we can use the hot product channels in the market to promote it. Just like Shang Dong said just now, in the final analysis, how to measure the quality of Qutoutiao's product?"

As he spoke, Fang Zhengwei stretched out three fingers: "First, the cumulative number of users downloads."

"Second, the number of active users of Japan and Vietnam."

"Third, the average online time for users."

"Of course, there are some other hard indicators, such as the ranking of our products in similar news and information apps, but on the other hand, how did this ranking come from, and it is still supported by the top three data."

While talking, Han Zhengyu, Zhao Deshun and Fang Zhengwei communicated a lot, and also got a lot of useful information from their words.

In addition, they are very interested in whether it is possible to log in to the capital market for financing in the short term, which Shang Fuhai mentioned at the discussion meeting just now.

At present, when there is no capital market trading channel, if you want to cash out, you have to sell their old stocks at a low price. But they think it is a loss to sell at such a low price. They think it is a good way to sell them after listing and then sell them.

At this point, there is no need to consider too much. They support Qutoutiao to go public quickly, and it is best to log in to the Nasdaq market like other technology stocks.

Qin Liang and Li Lei took them to a well-decorated hotel near the company. They ate a little simple, but in the end the six people ordered a table of delicious dishes.

During the meal, six people talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

While eating, everyone expressed their opinions when talking about their respective interpretations of the future of the market.

The companies behind Zhao Deshun and Fang Zhengwei are both engaged in industrial industries, and they have always lamented that the industry was difficult to do last year.

Zhao Deshun kept mentioning the issue of environmental protection governance. He said: "To be honest, if we continue to develop according to the current trend and the result has not improved, our company will have to consider further reducing costs."

How to compress it?

Speaking of this issue, many people’s first reaction is to lay off employees!

Although Zhao Deshun didn't say it, everyone here could hear it.

If the conditions in all aspects are appropriate, he may also sell some of Qutoutiao's shares to replenish the company.

Qin Liang didn't say anything about his thoughts. This was a normal thing. If this happened to him, he would do it like this.

For Qin Liang, this is a good thing.

"Dr. Shang, what you mentioned just now can be promoted by the camera short video for another 3 months. I still have to ask you for this matter." Qin Liang said again while taking advantage of the meal.

Let’s set this matter first. If we can really divert traffic through shooting short videos for 3 months, he believes that the data in 3 months will definitely be very different from the current one.

Shang Fuhai said with great care: "No problem, Mr. Qin just feel at ease."

Han Zhengyu was surprised. What happened to his boss today? His behavior was a bit abnormal!

After dinner, Qin Liang arranged a temporary rest place.

Shang Fuhai and Han Zhengyu were together, and Sun Qingde and Gao Yubao, who came over Shang Fuhai, were in another room.

"Boss, I haven't figured it out very well." Han Zhengyu asked him.

"At the morning discussion meeting, why do I feel that you may throw away Qutoutiao's shares at any time?"

Shang Fuhai looked at Han Zhengyu calmly, and Han Zhengyu felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it, and then said, "Old Han, you feel very sharp. Yes, I just plan to throw it away when the price is right."

""Han Zhengyu was silent.

"Boss, don't you plan to wait until Qutoutiao is listed before selling?" Han Zhengyu specifically reminded him.

Shang Fuhai opened his mouth and laughed: "Kev, why do you think that the price after it is launched will be higher than before it is launched? Besides, after it is launched, according to the rules of the game, can you throw it away in a short time?"

"Whether it is from the Eastern United States or domestic, the stocks that are lifted must be sold in batches at least one year later at a certain proportion. In terms of time cost, it is meaningless. I might as well find a high price to sell them at one dollar. With this money, will I definitely make less money than it does?"

Han Zhengyu slapped his head with a backhand. He suddenly realized that he was trapped in a misunderstanding of thinking. He subconsciously felt that the price of a stock will definitely rise after it goes public. Why wouldn't it fall sharply?

This kind of thing is really not new at all.

For example, the well-known PetroChina has been around for many years, and I don’t know if the people on the top of the mountain are still there, and it’s so cold that it’s so high!

Not easy!

"kev, think carefully, Qutoutiao looks very fast, but at least so far, except for me to see copy and paste, I have not seen any other core content. As for how it will happen in the future!" Shang Fuhai smiled and said nothing.

But in the long run, he is not optimistic about the meaning inside and outside.

Han Zhengyu didn't reply. He went to think about what Shang Fuhai had just said. Shang Fuhai shook his head and narrowed his head.

It was Sun Qingde who came over and knocked on the door to call them. Han Zhengyu immediately came to his senses and woke up Shang Fuhai who was already asleep. The few people returned to the conference room where they were in the morning again.

After Shang Fuhai and Han Zhengyu entered, they found that Zhao Deshun and Fang Zhengwei were already in the conference room, and Li Lei was also here. He was busy pouring tea for Zhao Deshun and Fang Zhengwei.

After seeing Shang Fuhai and the other two, Li Lei finished his work and hurried over: "Dr. Shang, Mr. Han, I'm sorry to bother you to rest again."

"It's okay, where is Mr. Qin?" Shang Fuhai asked.

Li Lei said: "This matter is a bit coincidental. Mr. Qin was ready to come over and continue discussing the morning's events, but he didn't know that the people from Tencent Capital had called."

"Tencent Capital? Who is Yu Chaohui?" Shang Fuhai said his name directly.

He remembered it very clearly that Tencent Capital should be the leader of Yu Chaohui now. I remember that he led the team to participate in the B round of financing for shooting short videos. He was very arrogant at that time.

However, Yu Chaohui later called him alone and repeatedly told him to call him in advance when he raised the short video round of financing, and he promised to follow up on the investment no matter what the price was.

This made it seem like Shang Fuhai was unhappy to take him to play. It wasn’t that he was so arrogant that he looked down on short videos from photographers, and he thought that short videos from photographers were just that.

After he returned, he wanted to let Nanshan Tumbler imitate another product similar to shooting short videos. Nanshan Tumbler, who has always been invincible in the python field, finally admitted that he failed.

Shang Fuhai wondered if it was Yu Chaohui's call to Qin Liang?

When Li Lei heard the name of the person Shang Fuhai mentioned, he immediately became ashamed.

"Dr. Shang is not Mr. Yu, but an investment director below." Li Lei did not even mention the other party's name.

Shang Fuhai said oh, and didn't say anything else.

After waiting for almost five minutes, Qin Liang came in with a calm expression. From his face, you can't tell what he was talking to the other party about. He is a master of controlling emotions.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I had an important call just now, which delayed some time. I'm so sorry." Qin Liang bowed slightly to apologize, and then sat down.

Several people didn't pursue this, their faces looked unknowingly, and they were all masters of acting.

Qin Liang continued: "Let's continue the morning discussion next."

Seeing that no one objected, he continued: "I would like to express my sincere thanks to what Shang Dong said in the morning that he could contact the camera short video and then promote Qutoutiao for three months at a discounted price!"

"It's okay, it's all small things. Otherwise, I'll think this is the case. We're all here. Why raise our hands to vote. If possible, I'll call Mr. Liang and reserve a promotional position for Qutoutiao."

That's right. The advertising spaces for short videos in the shooter are very popular now. If you want to log in to the page, the top page, and the home page of the secondary sub-category, you have to book a few months in advance. It's not the time when no one wants to advertise as before.

It is perfect to say that you should treat each other with admiration for three days when you are not allowed to take photos of short videos.

Qin Liang agreed with his suggestion and said, "Since Mr. Shang said that, let's raise his hands to vote. In addition, I declare in advance that there is really no money on Qutoutiao's bank account now. If this vote is passed, we need to jointly contribute in proportion to the four parties."

After saying that, he raised his hand directly: "I agree!"

Then his hardcore Li Lei raised his hand: "I agree too!"

In addition, Fang Zhengwei, who represents Xihuhua Communication Co., Ltd. and Zhao Deshun, who represents Jincheng Shanshi Technology, also raised his hands one after another, and there is no need to say that Shang Fuhai is the last one.

This was a unanimous vote for this plan.

Shang Fuhai didn't say anything, and called Liang Rubo on the spot.

As the major shareholder of Jingcheng Parker Technology Co., Ltd., Shang Fuhai is very good at making a call in person. The important recommendation position has indeed been booked out, but there is a second-level classification page's home page's top advertising position will be vacant in the middle of the month, and there is also a home page advertising position to be vacant in the late month.

Shang Fuhai's eyes signaled to the others, and seeing that they all nodded in agreement, Shang Fuhai directly told Liang Rubo on the phone that he had reserved these two locations for Qutoutiao.

Although it is not the most important advertising space, it is just such an advertisement in a second important position, plus the duration of 3 months, and finally considering Shang Fuhai's factor, it was discounted. After Liang Rubo asked someone to calculate, he still asked for 30 million yuan, which is equivalent to 10 million yuan in advertising fees per month.

"Everyone, how does this price feel?" Shang Fuhai asked them.

He doesn't care. Even if he has to pay 30 million, he only needs to pay 6 million yuan according to his shareholding ratio of 20 yuan.

According to the 16-share shares of Tianjin Shanshi Technology represented by Zhao Deshun and Xihu Communication Co., Ltd. represented by Founder Wechat, each of which has to pay RMB 4.8 million, which is not a lot.

But Shang Fuhai clearly saw a slight pain on Zhao Deshun's face.

He thought to himself that it seemed that the other party was really not lying. It seemed that Jincheng Shanshi Technology behind him was really in trouble, otherwise 4.8 million yuan would be really not a big deal for a company.

On the contrary, Qin Liang, who accounts for the most shares, needs to pay RMB 10.8 million at one time this time. The one with the least shares is undoubtedly Li Lei, who currently accounts for the least shares. He only needs to pay RMB 3.6 million.

This price is not very difficult for Li Lei, and he can still squeeze it out by gritting his teeth.
