On September 16, the Ice Bucket Challenge, which was popular in China for a month, has basically come to an end. What should be challenged has been challenged, and what should be donated has been donated. Others have also set their own attitudes and will not change any more.

With so many celebrity challenge videos on Toutiao, the number of visits has also begun to drop sharply. Lin Youde has already planned to remove this exposure position in October to restore the page of Toutiao to normal.

However, there is a slight change in the interesting letter. Many people began to apply for Shuidichou for their relatives and friends. After confirming it successfully, they will spontaneously post to Moments or groups, and there are also many such links on QQ and WeChat.

Although these numbers are just the tip of the iceberg compared to the total users, with a release and forwarding, hundreds or thousands of people may know about the existence of Shuidichou, and these people will be potential users of Quxin Payment.

At the same time, when people get used to the existence of Shuidichou, the model of Shuidichou raising funds through social links has matured, and this project will exist for decades or even hundreds of years.

Maybe one day, Toutiao will go bankrupt, Alibaba will go bankrupt, and Tengxun will go bankrupt, but Shuidichou will not. This is an unprofit organization that will always aim for charity.

As long as it is not profitable, there will be no stronger competitors, and this market will never care whether there will be one more competitor. For charity, the more the better.

After receiving hundreds of millions of donations from the Ice Bucket Challenge, Shuidicho announced a rescue plan for 1,000 children with leukemia.

The published location is on Quxin's official account. According to the applicant's mobile address book, Shuidichou will send a single message to Quxin users in the address book. This can not only promote the existence of Shuidichou, but also prevent people from taking advantage of troubled waters. If someone pretends to be poor families, then hundreds of contacts on his mobile phone will be reported, and as long as someone reports it, it will trigger Shuidichou's investigation.

In the future, every applicant will have such measures. From online to offline, Shuidichou uses the most secure method to ensure that funds are used where needed.

...

The ice bucket challenge came and went quickly. When venture capitalists saw the data of several software under Toutiao, some were very happy, while others were regretful.

I was happy, of course, I invested in several major state-owned enterprises that Toutiao early. With the popularity of the ice bucket challenge, Toutiao’s registered users have once again achieved a qualitative improvement, with about 25 million new users registering, and the average daily active users increased by 12%. Many of these new users also liked to browse news on Toutiao.

At this point, the number of Toutiao users has reached 130 million, second only to QQ. Although the user habits of QQ have been cultivated for ten years and the existence of QQ groups, the average user time of Toutiao today is not as good as QQ, but in terms of traffic promotion capabilities, it has surpassed the latter because news can push advertisements in batches, but QQ cannot.

Of course, this is just in the mobile phone field, and the traffic on the PC side is still terrible.

Those who were regretting were the same group of people because they did not invest in Quxin at the beginning.

Although Quxin has not achieved as much user growth as Toutiao, with Shuidichou's fundraising needs, tens of millions of people have activated Quxin Payment, which is a result that QQ used to spend countless manpower and material resources to achieve.

The payment function activated by so many people is more likely to form stickiness, so there is greater guarantee in the competition of WeChat.

Been happy and regretful, several people from China Investment Corporation and China Securities Investment Corporation came to Shangshanghai again and found Zhou Yujie.

Sun Shijie of China Investment Corporation said: "Mr. Zhou, we won't talk about the past. Today we came here just to invest in Quxin. What do you think?"

"Of course investment is possible, but in terms of valuation, we now believe that Quxin's valuation should be more reasonable at US$7 billion." Zhou Yujie said calmly.

"7 billion US dollars?" Sun Shijie and the others suddenly changed their faces. In just two months, Quxin's valuation actually rose by 1 billion US dollars.

Wu Weidong of the Bank of Communications said: "Mr. Zhou, Teng Xun's market value is only US$50 billion now. Quxin's current situation is priced at 7 billion. Isn't it a bit too high?"

"Mobile Internet is the entire future of the Internet." Zhou Yujie said calmly: "Whoever can master the mobile Internet will master the future. Comparing it with current market share will not make much sense."

Wu Weidong said: "Mr. Zhou, although Quxin's current market share is still far behind, it is a bit too early to say who has mastered the future."

"Of course, we can't say that the future will be 100% certain, otherwise, this is not a venture capital. And if Quxin can 100% guarantee to win Tengxun, then it will not be a problem to double the valuation."

Sun Shijie, Wu Weidong and others frowned. Zhou Yujie was right. This kind of investment itself carries risks. If it weren't for uncertainty, there wouldn't be such a high profit return.

Although Quxin is still far from QQ and is only slightly stronger than WeChat, behind Quxin is Toutiao, which has the largest traffic on the mobile Internet. The existence of Toutiao can continuously attract traffic for Quxin.

At present, the Today Youxuan, which has the largest market share in the takeaway industry, can also provide payment services to Quxin. Although Baidu is currently in the main subsidy position, as long as Toutiao develops well, Quxin Payment will definitely benefit from it in the future.

Although AppTrea is low in number of visits, it is a type suitable for traffic diversion, and the number of users is also in units of billions, which can also attract traffic diversion for Quxin.

And these are all auxiliary. Quxin is currently favored by the market. In fact, the real factor behind it is the person, and this person is Zhou Yujie.

A [Ice Bucket Challenge] not only made Shuidichou known to hundreds of millions of people, but also used the effect of celebrity videos to gain a large number of new users and celebrity resources, and Quxin Payment was also driven to develop.

With Zhou Yujie behind it, the market has greater confidence in Quxin.

After a while, Sun Shijie said: "Mr. Zhou, since the amount has changed, we need to go back and negotiate."

"Okay, no problem, but the speed should be faster. I don't want to wait too long." Zhou Yujie said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, it won't be long." Wu Weidong said.
