Chapter 83 Investing in DY?
Since Bai Qiu, as the niece, has said this, then Chen happy, as the uncle, is probably in the same situation.
Chen Jiang had a general idea of what was going on, so he asked Bai Qiu to inquire about Chen happy's location. After confirming that he was in the company, he asked Xiao Ya to watch the office and handle Karl's matter for him.
He then led Bai Qiu to Chen happy.
After briefly explaining the situation to Chen happy, Chen happy put down her pen in surprise and frowned.
"That's interesting... Xiaobai, find that video and let me see it."
Bai Qiu handed him the phone. Chen happy took the phone and looked at it. He was a little surprised at first glance. He looked up at Chen Jiang, but then looked down and opened the comments section to check the comments.
After searching through the video for a while, he put down his phone, pondered for a moment, and looked at Chen Jiang:
"Was this video posted last night?"
Chen Jiang nodded:
"Yes, it was taken when I was strolling along the river before our dinner yesterday. I didn't think much of it at first, but then this account owner posted it, and that's how it happened."
"So, it reached this level of popularity in just one night?" Chen Xi nodded and sighed, "I knew ByteDance used more advanced big data retrieval and recommendation algorithms on Douyin, but I didn't expect a video's popularity to spread this quickly."
"The data for your video probably covered the entire Douyin platform in just one night, with at least two or three million people watching it, or even more."
"The critical time was so short... and the results were excellent, which I didn't expect."
"I've also studied the situation at KS, and it's definitely not at the level of DY. I have to say, I'm increasingly feeling how much times have changed."
Chen Jiang, who was listening nearby, asked a question after he finished speaking:
"So, Brother Xi, you mean we can keep this buzz going and it'll be useful to our company?"
Chen happy smiled:
"It was useful, but its greatest use was that it really made me realize how powerful this dy is, probably much more powerful than I initially expected."
"I haven't told you in detail before, but I do have the idea of investing in ByteDance. I didn't come to R&F empty-handed when I was recruited by Chairman Yan. I have some connections, I know the boss of ByteDance, and I have connections with several large capital firms."
"But DY, this lucrative piece of meat, has already been spotted and divided up by them long ago. Even if we invest more money, we may not be able to gain anything in the end, since we don't have any other advantages compared to other capital."
"As you know, I've only just taken control of the company, and I was actually hesitant about taking any risks... but now, looking at it now, I feel that this company has even greater potential than I imagined..."
It is obvious that as a newly established investment company, R&F Financial, under normal circumstances, no matter how much money it throws at it, it cannot compete with the largest capital firms, which control funds in the hundreds of billions.
However, they are not entirely without a chance. First, they have a large network of contacts that can get started. Second, if they can get the support of the entire group behind them, they can use some unspeakable forces to increase the weight of this investment.
If you're not greedy and insist on taking the lead, you might not be able to sit in the main seat, but you can still find a stool on the side and have a piece of meat.
But if things don't go as planned in the future, he might be in trouble.
Because paying such a high price will erode his, and even Yan Wenshuo's, credibility within the group... Once there are no results or failures in this area, other problems could become their breakthrough point.
So... we need to win Yan Wenshuo's support first!
Chen happy was a decisive person. Having made up his mind, he habitually tapped the table with his fingers, looked at Chen Jiang, and said with a smile:
"Ah Jiang, I understand what's going on in this matter, but I won't go into the details."
"As for the current popularity of this video, it's best to save it as soon as possible and convert it into your own popularity, which may come in handy in the future... How about this?"
As he spoke, he thought for a moment, picked up his phone, made a call, said a few words briefly, hung up, and turned to look at Chen Jiang and Bai Qiu:
"I'll have Gao Tao from operations handle this for you; he knows more about this than I do."
"Alright, let's go back and check the situation first."
Chen Jiang was unaware that Chen happy had been thinking a lot, but he understood that the company did indeed have the idea of investing in DY. Whether it would succeed or not was another matter, but it seemed that the hype surrounding it was no longer that important.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, after all, he was just an ordinary person before.
His vision can never compare to that of business elites like Chen happy. He only saw the popularity of the video and thought about how to give back to the modeling agency, but Chen happy was already thinking about how to invest in Douyin.
However, while he lacked vision, luck made up for it. Anyway, he had company shares and Uncle Yan backed him up, so he would always get a share of the profits from the investment. So, it was practically an investment for him.
Of course, this popularity shouldn't be wasted.
Chen happy didn't think much of it, but it was a great gift for Jie Rui Company. He planned to deal with Karl first, then return directly to Shenzhen to discuss the matter with Xu Ruirui and get the transformation of Jie Rui Company sorted out as soon as possible.
After saying goodbye to Chen happy, Chen Jiang led Bai Qiu back to his office.
But they found that there were already a few more people inside. Besides Xiaoya, the slightly chubby man in the suit was Gao Tao, the head of the operations department, and then there was Karl, who was sitting on the sofa dressed like an artist.
The three of them were probably talking about something when they saw Chen Jiang come in. Xiao Ya and Gao Tao quickly got up.
The remaining Karl was initially a little confused, but then he hesitated and looked at the two people who had already stood up beside him before carefully lifting his buttocks and standing up as well.
"Boss."
"Mr. Chen."
"Thank you for coming over, Manager Gao." Chen Jiang noticed this detail and immediately felt that the conversation would go smoothly. In a good mood, he greeted the operations manager first.
He then turned to look at Karl and said:
"Mr. Carl, Xiaoya should have told you why she wanted to ask you to come over, right?"
"Uh..." All four of them turned to look at Karl at the same time; he was clearly a little nervous.
There's no way around it. First of all, as a photographer, he doesn't know much about the financial investment industry and naturally has a sense of awe. Secondly, what he did was really unethical. Not only did he take photos without permission, but he also posted them online.
The key point is that if it hadn't gone viral, people probably wouldn't have bothered with it. But what no one expected was that the photo would go viral, and become incredibly popular.
He was initially happy, but then he panicked a little because he remembered what the beautiful woman had said when they parted ways: her boss was a billionaire, and if someone had money, would they care whether he was famous or not?
Before he could even think about it, someone came knocking on his door.
Although the words were polite, the meaning was clear: if they were willing to give him face, they would have a proper talk; otherwise, they would handle it strictly by business.
There's nothing he can do. The video went viral, but it didn't make him famous. He has no chance of becoming an internet celebrity and making money. He should just give in and resolve this matter.
He had no desire to test his strength against someone who was clearly rich and powerful...
