Chapter 168 Rapid Development

Last year, Shanghai invested in three smart AI companies.

DCP focuses on dynamic image generation.

HGP focuses on human-computer interaction, similar to social software, and involves "dating" AI.

KJP focuses on office work and specializes in replacing people.

Ultimately, HGP emerged victorious. The app quickly gained popularity among men and women upon its launch, establishing a large customer base. HGP then shifted its focus to intelligent AI-powered human-computer interaction sex toys, and the results perfectly matched my expectations.

I called Sun Xiaowei and told her, "HGP is setting up a branch in Liancheng to specialize in the research and development and production of intelligent AI human-computer interaction sex toys."

"Okay, no problem."

This can be considered as fulfilling a small wish of mine. The market for sex toys has always been extremely profitable, and the emergence of intelligent AI is like a shot in the arm for this industry.

"Xiaomai, your task is to investigate various sex toy manufacturers, and then we'll do our own independent research and development. It needs to be technologically advanced, including a smart AI interactive silicone doll + VR glasses + virtual experience pod—a three-in-one, multi-directional, multi-dimensional experience. Only then will we be competitive in the market!"

"clear!"

Doing business and being a person are based on the same principles.

After a period of slow growth, once a certain platform, capital, and resources have been accumulated, a period of rapid development will begin.

This is the time when success is most likely to be achieved, but also the time when it is most likely to be undone.

provincial capital.

ZG Company.

Zhou Fei, Brother Long, and I sat together.

"Tianyi, I'm truly sorry this time. You were expanding our family's territory in the provincial capital, but I never expected..."

"Brother Fei, there's no need to stand on ceremony. I will continue to run this company, but you and Brother Long's shares will probably have to be redeemed. I'll double the price."

Actually, having Zhou Fei and Brother Long withdraw their shares also meant that some people were no longer interested in them, since the company had basically taken over all the resources and customers.

Brother Long took it all in stride: "I only had a principal of over 300 million, and it took me four or five years to earn 100 million. You came and doubled it in three or four months. I'm very satisfied."

Zhou Fei was still somewhat unwilling, but the Zhou family's actions in Liancheng prevented him from making his own demands.

"Brother Fei, please pass on a message to your uncle: if ZG goes public in the future, the Zhou family can come and talk anytime if they want it."

Zhou Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I was afraid you would act impulsively and never speak to me again."

"It's not that serious. After all, Uncle Fan is at a critical moment, and I can't hold him back. If the Zhou family urgently needs money, they can contact me anytime."

Before I left the Zhou family's boat, it was only natural for the Zhou family to ask me for money.

After getting off the Zhou family boat, if they need money, they come to me. That's an investment, a favor, and I have to repay it.

Xu Jingyan took out the contract, and the two of them signed and pressed their fingerprints. Finally, this company was mine.

After the two left.

Xu Jingyan's perpetually icy face suddenly broke into a smile: "Congratulations, President Shen! Now I can finally unleash my full potential."

Wang Yan smiled and said, "I used to feel like I was working for someone else, but now I feel much better."

"Ugh, you two... really..."

Wang Yan: "Oh cousin, a few days ago someone came to us wanting to invest. I've been holding back ever since I heard about what happened in Liancheng. Now that those two people are gone, I can arrange for you two to meet."

The little girl is so clever.

Examine the facts!

You set the time.

"There's no time like the present, let's do it today!"

With the company's equity returned, the two are full of energy.

"OK."

In the afternoon, the investors arrived at the company.

"Hello, I am Hu Chuyue."

"Hello, Mr. Hu, this is Shen Tianyi."

Hu Chuyue was also with a woman who was very tall, probably at least 1.7 meters, and was wearing high heels. Her wool coat couldn't hide her hot figure!

model!

This word popped into my head!

Hu Chuyue: "Pang Kai and I are friends. I heard that your company is preparing for financing, so I came here specifically to take a look."

"I wonder which organization Mr. Hu works for?"

Hu Chuyue smiled: "Personal."

I was surprised.

"Is Mr. Hu familiar with our company?"

"Supply chain finance currently focuses on supermarkets and e-commerce companies, and its main business is supplying goods and providing financing."

Wang Yan: "Has Pang Kai told you about our financial situation?"

Hu Chuyue: "In less than four months, we lost just over 1 million yuan, but we were able to capture one-tenth of the market in the provincial capital, with an average monthly turnover of 80 million yuan. We are now expanding into the surrounding cities and plan to go public within a year by leveraging our huge market share and order volume."

"Pang Kai explained it to you very clearly."

Hu Chuyue: "Pang Kai only mentioned it briefly; the other half is what I found out, and the other half is what I guessed."

This Hu Chuyue person is very interesting.

"If that's the case, then I don't care whether Mr. Hu invests or not. What I care about is what kind of business Mr. Hu is in. Can we talk about it?"

"OK."

We met for the first time, and it felt like we had known each other for a long time.

It's a feeling of mutual appreciation.

"I started doing WeChat business in 13, selling face masks on WeChat Moments. By the end of the year, I had saved up my first pot of gold. Then I became a liquor distributor and a cosmetics distributor. Until the pandemic, I made a little money."

I gave Hu Chuyue a deep look. Six years in the WeChat business, as one of the earliest entrepreneurs, and he's only making small amounts of money...

"Mr. Hu is joking. A micro-business boss of over ten years should have retired long ago. It's unbelievable that you still have the heart to start a business!"

"Life is a continuous struggle."

I looked at Xu Jingyan beside me and said, "Bring us our financing report and let President Hu take a look."

Xu Jingyan brought the materials over, and Hu Chuyue flipped through them casually before putting them down.

Hu Chuyue: "I don't watch this."

"What does Mr. Hu mean?"

"I'm here to invest, and also to discuss cooperation."

I sensed the presence of my kind.

After more than a decade of experience in the micro-business industry, Hu Chuyue's way of thinking is different from that of ordinary people.

"Then please tell us about your cooperation plan, Mr. Hu."

"Oh, Mr. Shen, won't you ask me how much I plan to invest first?"

I raised my teacup: "Have some tea. There's a long line of Chinese institutions wanting to invest; China isn't short of money. I'm just interested in the cooperation Mr. Hu mentioned, purely out of curiosity."

Hu Chuyue: "I'm a micro-business owner. To put it simply, I sell goods through my WeChat Moments. To put it more broadly, I build my private traffic."

"Please continue."

"Whether it's the currently popular Douyin and Kuaishou, or the earlier YY and Weibo, it all boils down to two words: private domain. What is private domain? It's a private space, like a celebrity's Weibo followers or a Douyin streamer's followers. Private domain traffic is the same; it's my followers."

Hu Chuyue couldn't hide the sense of accomplishment on her face when she said this: "Compared to most livestreamers, I already had over 2 million private domain users before the pandemic!"
