Lei Jun is sitting in the office, reading the latest battle report.
After the brutal events of the Hundred Regiments War and the destruction of the Thousand Regiments War, there are currently three companies left in the group buying market: Meituan, Dianping, and Yuetuan.com.
They are basically evenly matched and their shares are about the same.
Yuetuan has received two rounds of financing so far, totaling US$80 million. The money is not much, but Lei Jun listened to Yao Yuan's advice and stayed in the early stages. There is no point in burning money.
Sure enough, those guys overturned everything, burned them all, and killed themselves. Even Alibaba's Juhuasuan became a legal coffee because of corruption.
"Dong dong dong!"
As he was watching, the assistant knocked on the door and said: "Mr. Lei, Mr. Chen is here!"
"Well, let him come over!"
"OK!"
Lei Jun put down the information, and after a while, Chen Rui rolled in with a face that looked like it had been turned three hundred times. He started crying as soon as he entered the door:
"Boss!"
"What's going on? Why did you come to see me suddenly?"
"me……"
"Sit down and say, sit down and say, drink some water!"
When Chen Rui was at Jinshan, he worked as Lei Jun's technical assistant. Lei Jun taught him step by step how to make products, including how to tie a tie.
Chen Rui has always regarded himself as a disciple, claiming to be Jinshan's "red kid".
He sat down, his chin was trembling, and he became more and more sad, and sighed: "I have no choice but to beg you. I really have no choice. This is..."
He didn't dare to use the Chunqiu style of writing, so he told the story in detail.
"..."
Lei Jun frowned and said: "You have become impetuous in the past few years outside. Is this how you negotiate with others? Even if you want the other party to invest, don't act like you are proud of your talents.
The general environment of the Internet is changing, and giants are carving up everything. Have you seen "The Three-Body Problem"?"
"ah?"
Chen Rui was stunned.
"Read it when you have time. It's a very good book. There is a sentence in it that impressed me deeply: 'Destroying you has nothing to do with you!'"
"What does destroying you have to do with you?"
Chen Rui tasted the product and understood what it meant, but now was not the time to be reasonable, so he begged again: "I know I am reckless and rude. Now Station B is about to be hollowed out. Even the website cannot operate normally and is about to close down!"
The squid was as sad as a child weighing more than 100 pounds.
"This is a matter between you and Mai Li and has nothing to do with me and Yao Yuan. It would be difficult for me to do it if you come to me."
"Boss!"
"I have no savings over the years, so I invested all of the 5 million in it. Once the website disappears, I will have nothing!"
"Don't pretend to be pitiful with me. Kingsoft Network is preparing to go public. After the listing, your options will be worth at least 100 million!"
"But I do love the culture of Bilibili and want to develop well. If this knot is not untied, I will still be beaten even if I create a new platform in the future."
"Tsk!"
Lei Jun couldn't resist him, so he finally had to say: "Let me help you make peace. I don't know if it will work out."
"I understand, I understand, thank you boss!"
Chen Rui rolled away in a fit of rage.
Ouch!
Lei Jun has a headache.
There are many people like Chen Rui who serve as vice presidents of a quasi-listed company and are considered elites. Compared with ordinary people, they are indeed elites.
But compared with the giants, not to mention Kingsoft Network, the entire Kingsoft Group + Yuetuan are no match.
This further fueled his ambition. Lei Jun believed that he was no worse than Erma, Yao Yuan, and Robin Li, and he definitely wanted to become a giant.
…………
That afternoon, Yao Yuan arrived at Yuetuan.
Lei Jun got straight to the point and talked about Chen Rui.
"Oh, what did I think? It's just a trivial matter. Since you opened your mouth, I'll just tell Xu Meng to stop."
Yao Yuan is easy to talk to, but Station B has been hollowed out anyway. A small station like this will basically be dead once the UP owner and editor are lost. Unless there is an injection of big money, a strong leader can bring it back to life.
In a few words, Station B is gone.
No one took it seriously, Lei Jun said with a smile: "Just come over here, let me tell you about the current situation. We have been in the group buying field for 4 years, and there are only three of us left.
It’s very interesting to say that Meituan is conservative due to lack of funds and has to be conservative. Yuetuan is strategically conservative. Dianping did not participate in the war at all in the early stage and only launched group buying towards the end.
It fits the word "gou" you said!"
"Hey, this is the legendary Gou Sanjia?"
Yao Yuan secretly exclaimed that it was awesome, Gou Dao was indeed the king, and Gou Dao became a popular online article in later generations.
"Yuetuan has raised two rounds of financing, and I still have 67% of the shares in my hand. Meituan has also raised two rounds of financing, and Alibaba and Sequoia have invested, but Alibaba does group buying on its own and doesn't care much about it. Now Juhuasuan is gone, and Alibaba
Definitely bet on Meituan.
The boss of Dianping is named Zhang Tao. I am not familiar with this person. I heard he is a returnee from Shanghai. They have raised five rounds of financing, and Sequoia, Google, and Capital Today have invested in it.”
"Sequoia invested in two companies?"
"right!"
"It's a variable!"
"I think so too, but I don't have to think about it yet."
Lei Jun sighed and said: "At this point, everyone can see that doing group buying is tiring and unprofitable, but since we have already fought, we have to grit our teeth and hold on until the end.
Tencent’s own group-buying website also failed, and I’m worried that Xiaoma will end up.”
"He certainly will!"
"And Baidu..."
Lei Jun sneered and said: "Robin Li is a magical guy. I can't figure out what he is thinking in his head. He is always slow, then mixes things up, and then retreats.
But Baidu has strength and should not be underestimated."
Lei Jun paused and said wistfully: "Anyway, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. Now the chess pieces of this situation have been decided. It's just waiting for the four of you to take charge."
"Don't say that. I didn't place the bet because of the group buying. I placed the bet because you were in charge of the group buying. You have worked hard at Jinshan for many years. To be honest, it is too late to start a business, but it is not too late. There will definitely be a place for you on the card table in the future.
."
Yao Yuan comforted.
"Okay, I accept your good advice!"
Lei Jun nodded and said with a smile: "So we are going to start?"
"It's coming soon. When my side issues bonds and gets the money, we are also developing a secret weapon."
"Secret weapon?"
"I can't tell you yet. It's an internal first-level secret, code-named 9527. No one except me and the technical staff knows about it. When it comes out, it will be a great boost to group buying and other businesses."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your results!"
…………
Although the money has not been received, we can negotiate first.
If Yao Yuan wants to invest, he must give a valuation to Yuetuan.com, how much money to invest and how many shares to occupy based on the valuation. This eliminates the need for the two bosses to take action and leaves it to their subordinates.
If they really can't reach an agreement, the two of them will try again to come up with a suitable plan.
When Yao Yuan came out of Yuetuan.com, he immediately called Xu Meng and told her to stop. Xu Meng changed his mind after this time. I just want to bully others and be shameless with you!
"There is a comic book called "Youkai" and an encyclopedia of cute girls. I want to get them both. Coupled with Maili's animation resources and the community's game resources, the combination becomes a very impressive two-dimensional platform.
The only bad thing is the management. At worst, I will find them slowly or train them myself. Damn it, I won’t ask anyone!"
"ha!"
Yao Yuan was happy and said: "Okay, this matter is left to you anyway, so don't be timid."
In fact, in addition to AB Station, there are quite a few two-dimensional platforms, such as Half Dimension, Animation Home, Youqi, Youqi is considered to be close to success, and has produced "Zhenhun Street" and "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes".
It's a pity that the site was closed later.
Yao Yuan hung up the phone and touched his nose. It seemed that station B was gone and station A was not under consideration. Xu Meng wanted to do it by himself. It's okay to do it by himself, just make a two-dimensional base camp.
As a sub-platform of MaiLi.
Broadcast dramas, publish comics, publish games, make cartoons, etc. The potential of the domestic animation industry is not small~
As for Xu Yi?
Neither Xu Meng nor Yao Yuan are interested in paying attention. They love to go bankrupt and change careers.
As for Chen Rui?
It depends on whether he dares to join the second dimension after five million dollars wasted. If he loses the courage, he may just stay at Kingsoft Network, and he will still be a vice president after all.
From then on, there was no such figure as Shushu in the world.
There is no way, when the wheel of the reborn person accidentally ran over it, the dust raised fell on every mouse and millet head, especially a duck neck.
