Lei Jun stood aside and watched the rehearsal for a while, and Yao Yuan stopped it, stepped forward and said to Zhang Yadong: "Thank you for your hard work, I still need to trouble you for this part."
"It doesn't take much effort. They are all very talented and will definitely learn this piece of music quickly."
Zhang Yadong nodded and bowed out, got in the car and left, not wanting to stay for even a moment.
"You guys should leave and continue tomorrow!"
Yu Jiajia and others left cursing, and then Lei Jun came over and asked with a smile: "Why do you want to rehearse this piece?"
"Like it!"
"No other reason?"
"Isn't it enough that I like it? Have you seen "Let the Bullets Fly"?"
"Of course I have."
"Then you still ask, take a walk outside..."
Lei Jun choked, shrugged, and followed Yao Yuan out the door.
The two of them walked along the long corridor to the depths of the garden. Jiang Chao followed behind. When he saw that they had turned around twice and showed signs of sitting down, he quickly rushed over and sprayed them with a mosquito repellent spray.
Facing Lei Jun's surprised look, Yao Yuan explained: "Most of the anti-mosquito facilities on the market are chemicals. I didn't want to use that, so I installed some mosquito killer lamps, but the park is too big to take care of it."
"Oh, the troubles of happiness!"
Lei Jun smiled, sat on a bench, looked up at the five brightly lit buildings, and showed a hint of envy. Who doesn't want to have their own territory when running a business? The sign of success is also a unique sense of security.
This location is relatively remote, and from time to time you can see employees who have finished working overtime, leaving from the main road in twos and threes. There are 8,000 people, and half of them are 4,000, so it is still lively.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Lei Jun said: "400 million U.S. dollars, 20% of the shares, yes!"
"Since it's possible, I'll issue a statement in a few days."
"Have you finished talking to Gothe?"
"USD 290 million, 30% of the shares, fully acquired next year."
"What's the premium?"
"Amap's stock price is about US$14, which is a premium of five US dollars. I want them to delist, so naturally I have to give them some benefits."
Yuetuan, Meituan, and Dianping have similar valuations, all around US$2 billion. Yao Yuan invested 400 million in shares, taking 20% of the shares.
Including AutoNavi, the total will be 690 million. There will be more money when the acquisition is completed.
If you don’t have money, you really can’t afford to use the Internet.
Now that he has become a shareholder, he is part of a group. Lei Jun also began to solicit opinions and asked: "What are your plans for the group buying market?"
"How many businesses are group buying divided into now?"
Yao Yuan asked back.
"The first major business is catering, the second is ticketing, the third is hotel travel, and then there are KTV, weddings, clubs, fitness, etc., which are comprehensive categories."
Lei Jun sighed and said: "But I found that group buying is really not profitable. Taking ticketing as an example, movie watching is a low-frequency consumption industry. Each person watches movies four times a month, and the profit is too meager.
The same goes for everything else, it’s not a rigid need, or the market is too small.”
“So catering is the best?”
"Catering is the best, but we are burning money on subsidies, and we can't even talk about making a profit."
"..."
Yao Yuan didn't say anything, he just took out his phone, opened an APP called Ele.me, and said: "Look at this!"
Um?
Lei Jun took it strangely. He didn't take it seriously at first, but his expression soon changed, and he even showed a bit of excitement, saying: "Yes, yes, why did I ignore the takeaway!"
"Takeout is a high-frequency consumption industry. Nowadays, young people do not know how to cook, or are too lazy to do it, or do not have the conditions to do it. China's 1.4 billion people, even if only 10% of them consume one takeaway meal a day, that is 140 million meals, and each meal costs 20
Yuan…this market is great!”
Lei Jun acted decisively and said immediately: "Ticketing can be moved to the comprehensive category. From now on, it will be catering + takeout, wine and travel, and comprehensive business. By the way, can this Ele.me be acquired?"
"It's not very likely, let's give it a try."
"Okay, what's your plan?"
He asked again.
"Just burn money to get discounts. Users only recognize this. But there are different ways to burn money. I am going to launch WeChat payment. Your group buying and takeout are the first battlefield.
If, as you said, there are 140 million takeaway meals a day, that would be 140 million payments, which is enough for our expansion."
Yao Yuan showed him WeChat payment again, demonstrating how to bind a bank card and how to enter a 6-digit password to complete the process. This is a fast method that is completely different from the previous complex payments.
"What about the buyer-seller scenario?" Lei Jun asked.
"Then it depends on this!"
Yao Yuan clicked the [Scan] function again, and a scanning box appeared.
“QR code! WeChat previously launched a personal business card-style QR code for adding friends. Now we have integrated the QR code into WeChat payment.
In such unilateral scenarios, such as online shopping, you can pay directly using WeChat Pay.
In the two-party scenario, one party shows the QR code and the other party scans and pays..."
"How to ensure safety?"
The first thing Lei Jun thinks about is safety.
"There is no guarantee, we can only guarantee our own. QR codes are destined to go through a barbaric period, just like other products, popular, regulated, improved, and come back. This set of procedures will go down.
So what I want to promote now is payment scenarios that are not based on QR codes."
"..."
Lei Jun nodded, expressing his approval of the idea.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Just when the group buying melee was in trouble, he didn't expect that takeout would open up a new world, but he added: "In this case, we will be fighting on two fronts, no, three fronts?"
"That's right, group buying, takeout, payment, three-front battle!"
Yao Yuan pointed at himself, then at the other party, and said with a smile: "I and you, it is very likely that the two of us will face the three-party siege of Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu. Are you afraid?"
"ha!"
Lei Jun no longer smiled shyly, but gave a rare hearty laugh, saying: "When I sold Joyo.com, I have been regretting it in my heart. I paid for Jinshan willingly, but watching you fight on a bigger stage, in fact,
Very envious.
I wish I had such a battlefield where I can show off my skills to my heart’s content!”
"Yeah, I didn't expect that one day I would be in the same trench as you. The Internet arena has been updated and iterated. In fact, it is still the same people, but the former juniors have become the bosses.
You entered the industry 20 years ago and have been too low-key in recent years. It’s time to teach young people how to do things!”
"Ha ha!"
These words made Lei Jun extremely happy. He smiled like a rose and said, "Okay, I'll join that concert and I'll have no problem learning the guitar."
"That's great, it's just the beginning for us to work together!"
Yao Yuan is also very excited. Compared with Erma, Lei Jun seems to have been underestimated. In fact, he is an all-rounder and is very good in technology, operations, and marketing.
Especially marketing.
What a coincidence, I am also good at marketing, Monkey Master × 2!
(No more... there will still be four chapters tomorrow!
I also entered the dark room in Chapter 844... the frequency has been a bit high recently, emmmm!)
