After the greetings, Ji Yanran took the waiter to serve tea in person and quietly left, leaving the space in the living room for the two of them.

Xia Qingyang sat on the sofa, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Mr. Song, your Yijian Live is really a sudden rise! I talked to my friend and I am very optimistic about the prospects of live broadcasts. We judged that with the influx of capital, the live broadcast industry will usher in a big explosion, which is a "thousand group" melee similar to the previous group buying.

At the latest next year, the live broadcast industry will have a "thousand broadcast war". So, I wonder if Mr. Song is interested in continuing to raise funds?

Our Guandi Group is still a bit thin in Chubei and is happy to do some work for the promotion of Yijian Live."

As he said that, he smiled and said, "Mr. Song, we are in business, and our time is relatively precious. So I am straightforward. However, business is business, and even if I can't raise funds, I will make a deposit as my friend."

Fully show his confidence and ostentatiousness.

Song Yi pondered for a moment, holding the teacup, and did not express his opinion directly, but instead changed the topic: "Mr. Xiao Xia, your judgment on the live broadcast industry is limited to the thousand-broadcast war?"

Xia Qingyang was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, Song Yi was going to investigate him. He recalled the report provided by the think tanks in his mind and asked, "Does Mr. Song have any insights?"

Song Yi smiled and looked at Xia Qingyang with bright eyes, "Mr. Xiao Xia, this is related to our two sides' valuation of Yijian Live.

This time I came to recruit in Jiangzhou and hired a large number of fresh graduates with high salaries. Graduates entered the company as R&D forces. In the past five days, I have signed 184 new employees. Do you think the current valuation of Yijian Live is more appropriate, and should it increase from US$1 billion?"

Xia Qingyang's brain was running at high speed, judging Song Yi's intentions, paused and said, "Mr. Song, we all know the way of venture capital. So Tencent's financing for Yijian Live is definitely not invested at a valuation of US$1 billion.

As for the company's scale after you get a financing, I know that Yijian Live has a building in Yangcheng as its headquarters. But this can only say that you are optimistic about the company's future. It is impossible to say that the valuation will rise sharply because of recruiting new employees!"

Song Yi laughed, took a sip of tea leisurely, and said, "Mr. Xiaoxia, your judgment is still very correct. I am actually preparing for the future technical reserves. You must know that the framework of the entire Yijian Live Platform is written by me! I don't need a so-called programming expert at all! I can do it myself."

Damn! Xia Qingyang watched the aura gradually open, and the fierce Song Yi basically wanted to suppress him. But I have to say that this situation was really unexpected. Who could have expected that Song Yi himself was the chief architect of Yijian Live Platform?

Song Yi raised two fingers and said, "The second factor that Yijian Live can develop in less than half a year is that I am not short of money! You can check the entrepreneurial journey of Yijian Live, and the financial statements I will let you see later. Tencent's A round of financing is my first round of financing, and before that I have burned nearly 100 million yuan of funds.

There are a lot of funds on my personal account now, so you can ask for it if you have a way to go. Not to mention that there are institutions queuing up to invest in me. So, do you think, even if there are thousands of broadcast wars next year, how eager are I for funds?”

Xia Qingyang immediately felt a sense of frustration. To be honest, before he came to see Song Yi, he was full of confidence. You should know that Guandi Group was the only two major group in northern Chu Province. He really wanted to give Song Yi some trouble, which would make him drink a pot.

Moreover, as far as his group think tanks judge the live broadcast industry, any visionary live broadcast platform now needs to reserve a large amount of funds to deal with the fierce competition that will arise in the future.

However, what Song Yi has shown now: First, he does not lack technology, second, he does not lack money. Not only does he have money, but there are institutions queuing up to invest money for him.

This made him unable to explain the conditions for the subsequent investment. How much money does he have to invest to get as much shares?

Xia Qingyang thought for a few minutes with the action of drinking tea, thought for a while, and offered a bid code, "Mr. Song, if you are willing to accept investment from Guandi Group, we can discuss what benefits Guandi Group brings to you.

Guandi Group intends to invest $30 million to participate in the second round of financing at a valuation of $1 billion.”

Song Yi smiled, as soon as he said this, his conversation was basically safe today. He took a sip of tea and said without answering the words, "Mr. Xiao Xia, I am indeed willing to accept the investment of Guandi Group. Then talk about the question we just now. You don't usually play live broadcasts, right?"

When Xia Qingyang heard this, he knew that the bid had not reached Song Yi's psychological price.

As for this, Song Yi cannot accept financing with a valuation of US$1 billion! Even a round of investment will definitely increase the valuation. Moreover, Yijian Live now has Tencent’s money in hand, so he can firmly sit on Diaoyutai.

"I play less. I play World of Warcraft and I play more Lol. I just made up for the knowledge about live broadcasts recently."

Xia Qingyang was not embarrassed, and directly admitted that he had done his homework in advance. After the group buying and video war, the current capital trend is concentrated on live broadcasts. He is mainly responsible for investment within Guandi Group, so he naturally paid attention to it.

Of course, he couldn't do things like those second-generation playboys. He also had a field investigation. He played Douyu, Huya, and Yijian live broadcast platforms all this week, and he was a little uncomfortable!

It is difficult for people like him to adapt to online water lovers, novices, and anchors’ style of making money.

Of course, Song Yi's understanding of live broadcasts will not stay at the level of "Thousand Broadcast War". He has the intelligence added by the system brother, as well as some reports and summary of the platform operation data of his senior executives.

"Mr. Xiao Xia, the live broadcast platform is now showing a vertical content trend, which is to gradually transform from the original computer-side show where shouting, chatting, and singing is a show that slowly needs to meet various user needs. Now the most direct demand for users on the Internet is game live broadcast.

However, based on my analysis of platform data, live game broadcasts are not profitable! Those who really make money have to rely on female anchors on the platform star show.

To put it simply, it is to use game anchors to attract popularity, attract traffic, and then use other content anchors to convert traffic into flows. And in terms of conversion rate, the most outstanding one is the female anchor. You know what I mean.

Therefore, when Yijian Live will continue to lose money, it will definitely continue to raise funds. My ultimate goal is to go public. So, you are investing 30 million US dollars now, which is about 200 million yuan, but you may not be able to occupy many shares in the end!"

Song Yi is actually a bit contradictory to this point. He first said that Yijian Live is not short of money, and now he said that Yijian Live must continue to raise funds and seek development. What's wrong with this?
