High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 282 - 157: Eager to Find the Answer to the Question (Double-Length)
The main point is that there’s no money at home anymore, while Xiangnu has money.
Whether she’s willing to take out the money or not depends entirely on her mood.
Xiangnu said irritably, "In business, what’s the point of face? No matter how much face you have, no one will just give you billions for no reason." After speaking, she looked at Li Yang, "Speak sincerely, otherwise I won’t help you."
This statement confirmed Li Yang’s suspicion.
He chuckled and said, "Actually, running a live streaming platform isn’t that difficult. Starting from scratch would be tough, but acquiring an existing platform would simplify the entire process considerably. The existing platform’s infrastructure is complete, and only slight changes in the operational strategy are needed; other aspects don’t need much alteration."
Xiangnu asked, "Which one do you think is best to acquire?"
"Of course, Mouyu. Mouyu had a valuation of two billion in the angel round and ten billion after the Series A. Now, it might be around twelve billion. There’s currently a good opportunity to get involved..."
Li Yang began discussing Mouyu’s current plight, where expenses outweigh the cost of user acquisition.
Attracting traffic requires burning money. Previously, they could rely on the quality of live streaming to slowly compensate for these deficits.
But now, the top ten streamers are all hosting lotteries constantly. Though revenue has surged in the short term, the traffic is all gamblers, and regular users find it intolerable.
After all, a streamer who only holds lotteries, what other content can they provide?
Mouyu has a very good foundation, having been at the forefront of live streaming. Many operational strategies that are highly useful now were groundbreaking.
For example, spending twenty million aggressively to get leaders on various gaming leaderboards to change their names to include Mouyu’s prefix, creating a trend.
Even many ordinary onlookers changed their names to something similar.
Gradually, Mouyu’s fame emerged.
Mouyu is currently facing a huge challenge: on one hand, the user acquisition is not going smoothly, and the next round of financing won’t fetch a high price.
After all, capital looks at traffic, not the tens of millions in revenue you increase with gamblers, which is a short-sighted behavior.
On the other hand, there’s the risky nature of lotteries...
...
Zhao Tianhua and Zhao Tiande were completely dazed.
Li Yang and Xiangnu discussed very seriously, like two weasels plotting to snatch someone’s chicks.
As for the brothers, they just wanted to get some money from the family to enjoy themselves, start a live streaming platform, and attract some female streamers to have fun.
They never considered building a business.
Relying on the Zhao Family, they could just lie comfortably, since the Zhao Family never lacked those who strive. Look at Xiangnu, a vocational student who became the financial pillar of the family.
"Sis, sis..."
Zhao Tiande called out.
Xiangnu asked, "What’s the matter?"
Zhao Tiande said awkwardly, "Sis, you were talking big just now. We’re not capable enough; we just want to build a small platform, and sell it after making a little money in the future. We can’t manage a big company."
From their words, they were planning to spend billions to take control of Mouyu. For such a big company, what role do the brothers have?
Even the dogs in the Zhao Family know that the brothers are useless and can’t be given much authority.
With a small company, they could at least dabble in finance.
Xiangnu smiled and said, "Sitting in front of you is a top student of Jing University Guanghua School of Management. Are you worried there won’t be anyone to manage the company well?"
"Huh?"
Xiangnu continued, "Management issues are not your concern. Since you’ve already applied for the project with the family, the family would surely try their best to give you a platform to showcase your abilities. Our next goal is to acquire Mouyu... As for how to attain that goal, it’s up to you two. Li Yang not only provided the strategy, but he can also participate in the financing process in the future, paving all the paths for you. Also, the first batch of funds from the family is two billion, which proves how focused the family is on you. It’s a price no one else could receive, so you two must work hard!"
Zhao Tiande and Zhao Tianhua were stupefied.
Two billion?
Isn’t that going to kill them?
They don’t want that much!
If they squandered these two billion, would the Zhao Family still have a place for them? Even if they wanted to be loafers, they wouldn’t have the qualifications.
"Sis, sis... please reconsider. We can’t handle this kind of work. How about, let’s pretend we never said anything. We won’t create any live streaming platform. Just sponsor us a few million, we’re planning to create a gaming leveling studio..."
They just want to fool around with a bit of money, a few million to one or two tens of millions is an ideal range. Even if it all went down the drain, the family wouldn’t say anything.
But Xiangnu directly rejected, "Gaming leveling studio? Saying it out loud would make people laugh at our family! Anyway, the matter is settled, you two should consult with Li Yang more; he’ll be responsible for this matter too."
After saying this, Xiangnu got up and left.
Leaving Li Yang and the brothers staring at each other.
But... Xiangnu is indeed ruthless, even to the extent of deceiving her cousins.
Of course, she also took the opportunity to bring Li Yang into the fold, and Li Yang willingly followed.
After all, Li Yang was also eager to resolve the contractual matters.
This issue was not suitable for anyone else to handle—Zhao Tianhua and Zhao Tiande were the most appropriate. Even if things went wrong, they were just the family’s loafers, and whoever dared to attack them could just abandon these two loafers.
Usually, no one really wants to attack them; the returns wouldn’t be worth the risks.
