Chapter 201 Qin Kun, who had read too many tomato-themed novels
The more he talked, the more likely it seemed, patting his chest: "Damn it! Thank God, when I first met you, I knew you were no ordinary guy, so I didn't dare to mess with you and treated you like a brother! Otherwise, I might really be kneeling in front of you singing 'Conquer' right now!"
"Damn it! Have you been reading too many tomato-themed novels?"
Ye Fan looked at Qin Kun as if he were an idiot: "Wake up! In reality, there aren't that many scenes of showing off and getting slapped in the face. Everyone's time is precious."
When I first met Qin Kun, I thought he was a rather refined person, but I didn't expect him to be such a goofball.
Qin Kun chuckled: "That's true, I'll delete Tomato Novel in a bit."
Fang Yu's mind was no longer on the joke.
When Ye Fan casually suggested that "there are suitable projects you can invest in," Fang Yu was dismissive, thinking it was just a young man's whim, using some pocket money as a hobby.
But now that Ye Fan has revealed 4 billion yuan in cash—a trump card powerful enough to shake up the small capital market—the situation is completely different!
This is definitely not just a hobby!
Fang Yu's mind raced: What kind of family would trust a young man who had just come of age to control such a terrifying amount of cash flow?
The only explanation is that they have absolute confidence!
This confidence either stems from an extreme recognition of Ye Fan's abilities, or... it comes from possessing core information or strategic directions that are inaccessible to ordinary people and will inevitably bring rich rewards!
This thought made Fang Yu's heart pound.
He could no longer sit still. Leaning forward slightly, he stared intently at Ye Fan, his tone more serious than ever before: "Old Ye, you just said you're interested in investing... Could you elaborate? What sectors are you optimistic about? Or rather, what's the main focus of your investment company...?"
What Fang Yu didn't know was that the person sitting in front of him did indeed have unique information channels.
However, it didn't come from his home. Ye Fan's home was just an ordinary family. Instead, it came from a torrent of memories from his previous life, which foresaw the development trajectory of the next few years.
This is, of course, something that cannot be said outright.
Ye Fan put down his orange juice glass and leaned forward slightly, creating an atmosphere conducive to discussion, but his tone remained calm: "Old Fang, the trend is already clear before our eyes. With 4G networks deployed for so many years, it has reshaped the entire social ecosystem like a catalyst. How many new rich have emerged in recent years? The wealth landscape has long been redrawn. This fully demonstrates that the gold mine of the internet is far from exhausted."
Fang Yu nodded.
He knew these principles, and had tried to get involved before, but in the internet age, the money had already been divided up by those giants.
Given their size, their strength is far from sufficient to join!
Fang Yu asked, puzzled, "I understand the logic. But the problem is, the current internet landscape is firmly controlled by a few giants, forming almost solidified barriers. New players wanting to enter? It's incredibly difficult! Those who aren't big enough will either be acquired and swallowed up by the giants, or they'll suffocate under their shadow. With our limited capital, we can't even make a decent ripple in front of these giants."
He was referring to the vast ecosystem built by BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent).
Ye Fan's lips curled into a mysterious smile that seemed to see into the future. He slowly said, "China is too big, bigger than you can imagine. A great power means limitless possibilities and endless niche markets. The gold mine of the Internet is far more complex and profound than you can see. Opportunities are not absent, but many people are blinded by the existing structure and haven't yet discovered those 'new mining spots' that are brewing and about to explode."
Fang Yu wouldn't have felt this way in 16. With the emergence of Douyin, the entire internet landscape was once again disrupted.
This year, shared bikes have already made a small-scale debut, promoted by ofo on a small scale on campuses in Beijing. Next year, with the establishment of Mobike, shared bikes will officially enter urban public transportation, creating a frenzy throughout China.
Even Tencent, which dominates half of the Chinese gaming market, couldn't stop the rise of Genshin Impact.
Fang Yu listened thoughtfully, but the term "new mining site" was too abstract.
He pressed further, "So, what specific direction does your 'new mining opportunity' refer to? Which sector is your Red Bean Capital targeting?"
There are so many investment opportunities across all industries.
Even investment companies with huge sums of money cannot afford to invest in every industry, since funds are limited.
They usually choose to invest in areas they are good at, or focus on one or two directions.
Fang Yu initially thought that Ye Fan had just started an investment company to try things out, that he was young and impetuous, and that it wouldn't matter if he failed.
Now it seems that Ye Fan is extremely confident, with an air of certainty of victory.
"I think film and television entertainment and live streaming have huge potential and there's still a lot of room for maneuver." Ye Fan stopped there, picked up his orange juice and drank it, not continuing.
"I know the film and entertainment industry...it certainly has great potential. The internet age has completely revitalized this industry; the speed of creating stars and its earning power are now vastly different from what they used to be. However..."
His tone carried a hint of disdain from someone in the industry: "The threshold is shockingly low. Some so-called celebrities could spread their legs freely for a few tens of thousands of yuan a few years ago. Now they've learned to put on airs and act high and mighty, putting on a pure and innocent act. It disgusts me."
He has clearly been exposed to a lot of inside information.
"As for the live stream..."
Fang Yu frowned even deeper: "Old Ye, the landscape of the live streaming industry seems even more entrenched than that of gaming, right? The top platforms have basically divided up the market, and user habits are pretty much established. Entering now, trying to snatch a piece of the pie from these already established platforms? The difficulty level is just too high!"
His analysis makes a lot of sense, based on current market perceptions.
With the development of the live streaming industry, capital expansion has basically been completed, making it very difficult to get involved.
Ye Fan did not directly refute, but simply smiled meaningfully.
Fang Yu was unaware that in the next few years, a brand-new form of live streaming based on short video platforms would completely overturn the existing landscape, and its explosive power and commercial monetization capabilities would far exceed everyone's imagination.
Fang Yu seemed to remember something and added, "By the way, Lao Wang, you know Wang Sicong, right? He's been working on a live streaming platform project called Panda TV lately, and he's talked to me about it a few times. The concept sounds alright, but it's burning through cash like crazy, and as for the future... it seems a bit uncertain."
Fang Yu mentioned Wang Sicong briefly, noting that he and Wang Sicong had a good relationship.
When the other party comes to the Yangtze River Delta region, we often keep in touch.
Over time, they became good brothers.
