Chapter 337: Seek unity through struggle, and unity will survive!
Compared with the indignation of the executives, the uncle is undoubtedly very sober.
Although he was very unhappy with Zhang Shuo, he also knew that if this matter got too big, no matter whether the lawsuit could be won or not, it would not be of any benefit to Ah Li, and it would make Mo Yaa a fan of heat for nothing.
you do not say?
Pinxixi has not even been officially launched yet, but it is taking advantage of this wave of public opinion to make a strong exit.
What a great advertising effect!
Furthermore, the lawsuit was filed by Moya in Binhai City and not in Lin'an, Ahri's home base. Given the relationship between Moya and Binhai City, Ahri really had no confidence that he could win the lawsuit.
The best outcome is for both parties to reach an out-of-court mediation agreement.
Just like Ren Xiaoyao said, minimizing big things and trivial matters, minimizing public opinion turmoil as much as possible is also minimizing Ahri's losses, even if it will make sprouts gain.
This is also something that can't be helped.
If we really want to launch an immediate counterattack against Mei Ya and continue to ignite the situation as the executives suggested, wouldn't that be fulfilling the wishes of some people? It would make Ahri become a monkey that others are looking at.
I won't be fooled by this.
After driving away the indignant executives, the uncle left Ren Xiaoyao alone and said in a deep voice: "You have to come forward in person to communicate with Sprout about this matter."
"I know."
Ren Xiaoyao is bound to do so.
Judiciary is not a child's play. If you have already filed a lawsuit, then the official will definitely launch a round of investigation. It is impossible to just withdraw the lawsuit just like everyone else.
After all, the impact is bad.
What Ren Xiaoyao needs to do is how to prevent the investigation process from being followed and reported by the media.
Press the heat appropriately.
This requires cooperation from the sprouting side, and with the current relationship between the two parties, it is impossible to say that if Ahli wants to make some concessions in some places, it must first let the sprouting "calm down".
"It's so frustrating!"
The uncle felt very depressed when he thought that the incident was caused by Su Ya, but Ah Li was asked to put out the fire.
But he forgot.
From the beginning of this incident, he acted too domineeringly and took the initiative to fall out with Mo Ya.
Where did the idea of taking the lead in stirring up trouble come from?
"If we want Germination to not continue to put pressure on us, we may have to make some concessions on the Baishi matter. There are other express delivery companies that should cooperate with Pinxixi and continue to cooperate." Ren Xiaoyao reminded.
.
Otherwise, Ahri's involvement in a dangerous monopoly would be a real deal.
"Okay, okay, I'll leave this matter to you, and you can do whatever you want."
The uncle felt even more aggrieved.
After thinking about it for a while, he was still unwilling to give in and said to Ren Xiaoyao: "If you can sue us for abusing our market dominance, can we retaliate and sue us for monopoly after the current turmoil subsides?"
"Although Germination involves many business lines, whether it is games, social networking, cloud computing, local life services, or yet-to-be-formed mobile phone, semiconductor, e-commerce and other businesses, they are all forced to break out of the existing competitive landscape.
No matter how hard it is, it cannot gain a dominant market position, so it cannot be said to be a monopoly."
Ren Xiaoyao has indeed done research on sprouting.
"That's it..."
The uncle was even more depressed, and he also reflected from the side that it was indeed a very remarkable thing for Mo Ya to break out in just over two years.
It's a miracle.
Although he was unhappy, he had to admit that Zhang Shuo did have two skills.
………
After Ren Xiaoyao left, the uncle received another call from Big Brother.
"That kid Zhang Shuo is too arrogant. He doesn't follow any rules. What do you think, do you want my help? If I don't teach him a lesson, I don't even know how high the sky is."
The words are still burning.
"Forget it, let's get over the current difficulty first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
If it had been in the past, the uncle might have fallen into the trap. Just like before, he had a good relationship with Zhang Shuo, but after drinking a few drinks with Big Brother, he gradually became alienated from Zhang Shuo.
It was precisely because of the alienation that the uncle followed up and acted domineeringly to "block" the sprout.
To say that there is no relationship at all between the two, the uncle himself does not believe it, especially after being manipulated by Zhang Shuo like this, he has become a little clearer.
Leave it to the past.
Whether it's an Ahri executive or a partner of Ahri, who dares to confront him like this?
It happened that Zhang Shuo's rebuke made the uncle stop in mid-air. It's hard to say whether he would be floating in the air after that. At least he should stop for a moment, think about it, and observe the subsequent development of the matter.
We can no longer be so radical.
"Ah, haha, that's true. Then you deal with it first. If you need anything, just say a word." On the other end of the phone, the big brother's voice was still so cheerful.
To the uncle's ears, something didn't sound right.
………
At the same time, Winterfell Headquarters.
"Brother Dong, didn't you reach a strategic cooperation with us? Why did you start your own e-commerce?"
With the exposure of the express delivery conflict between Mei Ya and Ali, the internal incubation of Pin Xixi in Mei Ya can no longer be hidden, and it will inevitably attract the attention of e-commerce peers.
"What's the matter? Can't you engage in e-commerce?" Dong Ge said expressionlessly.
"No, that's not what I meant. I'm not worried. After sprouting the e-commerce business by itself, will we transform from biological sons to godsons?" the subordinate explained with a smile.
"A biological son or a godson, it's a mess."
Brother Dong frowned, raised his head and said: "You remember, the strategic cooperation we reached with Sprout Ya is that Sprout holds shares in Jingdong and directs traffic to Jingdong through Weixin, that's all. There is no guarantee that Sprout will not make electronic products on his own.
business."
As long as Jingdong still occupies the first-level traffic entrance of Weixin, Brother Dong is confident that Jingdong will become bigger and stronger.
The Weixin traffic diversion in recent months has increased Jingdong’s daily activity by millions. Jingdong has truly benefited from the cooperation with Sprout, so what else is there to complain about?
"As for Pin Xixi, maybe we can cooperate with Jingdong in some fields in the future."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay."
The subordinates will not say more, and it is difficult to judge whether Brother Dong is being arrogant or far-sighted.
………
Thursday, August 23rd.
As the big boss behind the breakup between Germination and Ahri, the Internet was turned upside down, but Zhang Shuo himself didn't feel much of it.
In the morning, I also attended with great interest the unveiling ceremony of the Maili Experience Store Binhai City flagship store.
As the MaiLi mobile phone launch conference approaches, relevant preparations are also coming to an end, including the completion and acceptance of major experience stores located in the core CBD areas of first- and second-tier cities across the country.
Only after the press conference is over, users will be able to try Maili x1 immediately.
at the same time.
Invitations for the first press conference of Maili Mobile Phone have also been sent out one after another. What makes the industry even more excited is that the information revealed in the invitation letter shows that Zhang Shuo will personally take the stage to host the press conference.
Both fans and the media were immediately plunged into a state of fanaticism.
Don't underestimate Zhang Shuo's influence on the Chinese Internet, especially with the budding and Ahri disputes, which has raised Zhang Shuo's popularity to a new peak.
He is jokingly called a boss who brings his own traffic.
No, what was originally a simple store ribbon-cutting ceremony attracted more than a dozen media to the scene, as well as people working and shopping nearby, who also gathered around curiously.
"King Meng, is Moeya going to completely break up with Ahri?" a fan asked curiously.
"No no."
Zhang Shuo quickly denied it and explained with a smile: "It's just a purely commercial dispute, absolutely not mixed with any personal grudges. The uncle is also a senior entrepreneur I respect."
"So, Mengya and Ahli have reached a settlement?" a reporter asked.
"Let's see the official investigation."
How could Zhang Shuo fall into the trap? "Everything will be subject to official investigation. We will fully cooperate with Mo Ya."
"King Meng, what do you think of this abuse of market dominance?" The reporter was reluctant.
"First of all, whether Ali is really suspected of abusing its market dominance still has to wait for an official investigation before we can reach a final conclusion. Secondly, as a practitioner in the Internet industry, from my personal perspective, I hope that China Internet can do more
Compatibility, openness and cooperation, less infighting, isolation and involution.”
Zhang Shuo said this with full confidence.
Gein, whether it is Weixin or Qingcheng App, treats giants such as Tenda, Ahri, and Qiandu equally, and does not block this or block that.
In contrast, the eating of the Big Three is rather ugly.
This is also true.
Zhang Shuo hopes that by beating Ali this time, he can slightly change the involution pattern of China's Internet, especially when the three giants are building their own moats, so as not to be too ugly.
otherwise.
In the future, everyone will be punished.
The reporters present wanted to continue asking questions, but Zhang Shuo did not want to see them anymore. Under the protection of Li Feng and other bodyguards, he hurriedly left, leaving behind a slightly embarrassed figure.
………
Weekend, Tang Lao Xiaoyuan.
"This move of yours will cause a major earthquake in the industry." If something like this happened, Tang Yi would definitely need to communicate with Zhang Shuo in time.
"Second uncle, I did it on purpose." Zhang Shuo smiled.
"oh?"
Tang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Tell me, what are your plans in this?"
He knew that Zhang Shuo would not do things without aim, and now that he took the initiative to admit it, there must be other motives behind it.
I was interested immediately.
"Actually, it's not really a big plan. I just want to use the opportunity of beating Ali to sound the alarm to the entire Internet industry, not to engage in monopoly. It's very boring." Zhang Shuo said.
Monopoly is essentially an extreme form of involution.
"That's all?"
Tang Yi didn't believe it, "Could it be that there's no official meaning?"
With Bu Ya's current size, suddenly suing Ali seems to some people to be a challenge to the authorities, reminding them to strengthen anti-monopoly supervision in the Internet industry.
Even Tang Yi holds similar views.
After all, Zhang Shuo has shown signs of being a reformist a long time ago, and has made relevant suggestions on the security of map navigation data, the use of big data in hotel travel, and the supervision of the takeout industry, etc.
"I don't dare to do that." Zhang Shuo smiled and shook his head.
The government has its own set of logic. Initially, in order to support the development of the Internet industry, it deliberately implemented a vague regulatory strategy, which gave Internet giants such as Ali, Tenda, and Qiandu an environment where they could grow wildly.
After the industry develops and expands, regulatory measures will be slowly tightened.
The purpose is not to punish anyone, but to take timely action and establish new rules after the industry has passed through the barbaric growth period to ensure the healthy and sustainable development of the Internet industry.
It can be said that it is well-intentioned.
"It's not so much a challenge to the official, but it's more about hoping to give a little bit of credit to Ali, Tengda and other giants, so as not to look too ugly or too involuntarily involved," Zhang Shuo explained.
"Involution? In this case, Germination is also involved, right?" Tang Yi seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Although it has not been established for a long time, the business involved in Germination is already comparable to the three giants Ali, Tenda and Qiandu in the Internet field alone.
There really isn't much of a position to blame the other party.
"This is still a little different." Zhang Shuo remained calm and explained: "Some of the Internet businesses that Sprout is involved in are groundbreaking, such as mobile games and Weixin, which took advantage of the mobile Internet."
"Some are research-oriented, such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence."
"Some more are practicing some of my personal ideals about the industry, such as Qingcheng Group, which focuses on local life services, and the upcoming e-commerce business."
It is not simply involution.
"In addition to the above, businesses such as Feixun and Tiantian Toutiao can give up control in the future or even be sold to external parties. They are not part of the long-term planning sequence."
"As another example, in the field of large-scale entertainment, Suya will definitely not get involved."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "That's it, but in the eyes of outsiders, horror is a different scene, right?" Tang Yi knew Zhang Shuo's ideals very well, but
I can't stand others not thinking the same way.
In the eyes of the outside world, Germination is just another Tengda.
"This is indeed a crux, so the future will be more open."
Zhang Shuo a year ago would not have thought this way.
At that time, Zhang Shuo, with his passion and the psychological advantages brought by his rebirth, could only do his own thing well and do whatever he should do and do whatever he should do.
As for outside criticism, I don’t take it to heart very much.
But when the size of the sprout reaches a new level, from a star start-up company to an elephant in the industry, it has to take into account the surrounding environment.
If an elephant dances recklessly in the room, it won't be the pots and pans that will be broken.
All kinds of tangible and invisible pressures are also coming.
In such a new stage, Zhang Shuo's own structure must also be opened up, and he must contact and communicate with all parties with a more open and tolerant attitude.
Otherwise, the sprouts will be in constant trouble.
It is precisely based on this consideration that the headquarters of various subsidiaries of Germination Group were relocated, the financing of Qingcheng Group, the joint establishment of Weizhong Bank, etc.
A sprout that is too strong and a solitary eater will definitely not be liked.
Take this incident as an example, Zhang Shuo wouldn't have come to this point if Ah Li hadn't provoked him first and done things extremely wrong.
I had already made plans to "trade" with Ahri.
And if we set our sights a little higher and open up the pattern a little further, a more open and tolerant bud can actually achieve more things.
It is also easier to realize some of Zhang Shuo’s ideals.
A lone ranger can become a hero and be remembered by people, but it is always difficult to achieve great things.
Of course.
This does not mean that Zhang Shuo should be a good guy and be afraid of causing trouble.
Just like what his second uncle taught him——
If unity is sought through struggle, unity will survive; if unity is sought through compromise, unity will perish.
The game with Ah Li is like this. The uncle is the one who doesn't follow the rules, so Zhang Shuo has the confidence to overturn the table. After the showdown, both sides will take care of each other, and maybe it will be easier to cooperate in the future.
Don't make such a fuss.
I'm afraid that in the eyes of the uncle, Mo Ya is just a little brother.
I can’t carry it clearly!
"What kind of open method? As far as I know, sprouts, Tengda, and Ahli are now at odds with each other and making enemies on all sides. Is there any room for change in the future?" Tang Yi asked curiously.
Because we are familiar with each other, the questions asked are very sharp.
"Second uncle, you are trying to control my army."
Zhang Shuo did not fall for the trick and did not continue to reveal the future business plan of Suya, because many things are man-made and there are too many variables before they are completed.
It doesn't make any sense to say it.
"You boy!"
Tang Yi pointed at Zhang Shuo with his finger, and did not continue to press the question. Instead, he revealed another piece of news, "Let me tell you, there are some changes in my work, and I will go to work in the provincial government next month."
"congratulations!"
Zhang Shuo's eyes lit up.
The second uncle is now the chief official of Binhai City Palace. Given the level of Binhai City, the second uncle is now transferred to the Lingnan Provincial Yamen, and he should be the chief administrative officer of the Yamen.
Another big step forward.
"I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine." Zhang Shuo smiled and picked up the teacup.
"It's passed."
Tang Yi smiled and waved his hand, but still drank the tea in the cup.
Speaking of which, his rapid progress has something to do with Meiya. During his tenure, he supported a giant company like Meiya, which is a real achievement.
more importantly.
Because of the rise of Bu Ya, the development and construction of Houhai has been accelerated, which is another great achievement.
………
Monday, August 27th.
Early in the morning, Lu Kai came to the office and reported the latest progress to Zhang Shuo, "Ren Xiaoyao from Ahli personally contacted me and expressed his desire for reconciliation. He also said that he would make concessions on Bai Shi's matter."
"oh."
Zhang Shuo was not surprised at all, this was an expected reaction.
Ahri really wants to go to hell.
Moreover, based on Zhang Shuo's understanding of the uncle, Ahli's current peace of mind does not mean that Ahri will consider himself unlucky and swallow this bitter pill. There will definitely be competition and revenge in the future.
Of course Zhang Shuo is not afraid either.
"What did the founder of Baishi say?"
During this sensitive period, Zhang Shuo was wary of any of Ah Li's actions.
"The company has agreed to be acquired by Sprout."
When things got to this point, Ahri certainly felt uncomfortable. She was treated as a pawn of Shitongyida, but this time she was disgraced, and was even accused by netizens of being Ahri's paparazzi.
You have to cooperate obediently with the official investigation.
Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to understand why the founder of Baishi chose to sell his shares.
"In this case, there is no need for us to take over the Baishi shares in Ahli's hands." Zhang Shuo gave an unexpected answer.
"You mean you don't accept Ah Li's reconciliation?" Lu Kai was surprised.
"You are overthinking." Zhang Shuo shook his head, "Just think about it, we sued Ahli and then took the shares of Baishi Express from Ahri. What will the outside world think and guess?"
As the saying goes: "Whoever profits will be suspected."
Even if Mo Ya has a good reputation among netizens, if someone secretly adds fuel to the flames after such an incident, public opinion may not turn around and think Mo Ya has ulterior motives.
"hiss!!!"
Lu Kai took a breath of cold air and was horrified, "Could it be that this is a trap set by Ah Li?"
"I don't know about that."
Zhang Shuo shook his head, "Anyway, at this time, we must learn to exercise restraint and not let the other party take advantage of us."
If it was a trap set by Ah Li, it would be even more impossible to get inside.
Even if not, in a sensitive period like this, it never hurts to be cautious.
"I understand, it is not appropriate for us to make any deal with Ah Li before the case is settled." Lu Kai is also a smart person, and can tell the truth.
"That's right." Zhang Shuo smiled and nodded.
"It's a pity. This was originally an excellent opportunity to fully acquire Baishi. If we missed it, Ahri might cause trouble next time." Lu Kai still felt a little regretful.
"Nothing to regret."
Zhang Shuo was very open-minded, "Even if Ahri retains his shares in Baishi, what's the problem? As long as we achieve control of Baishi, the next capital increase is imperative, and Ahri will have to do it even if he doesn't follow."
and."
An open sprout does not need to pursue 100% control.
"In fact, we don't even need Baishi to terminate its strategic partnership with Ahri. Baishi Express can provide express delivery services for Ahri and Pinxixi at the same time."
In this matter, Zhang Shuo behaved very generously.
"clear!"
Lu Kai also completely came to his senses, "We are not on the same path as Ah Li."
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhang, Brother Dong from Jingdong contacted me yesterday and said that he hopes to visit you in Binhai City in the next two days to discuss the possibility of further cooperation between Sprout and Jingdong."
"Okay, welcome!"
In fact, Zhang Shuo was surprised that Brother Dong could endure it until now.
