Gao Yuanyuan and Lu Fei faced each other, sitting at the dining table, mixing fried noodles, "How long will Shunfeng's price war continue?"
"Why do you suddenly care about this?"
Lu Fei had a mouthful of noodles and a mouthful of sweet garlic.
"It's not that I care."
Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes, "It's not because your taxi app subsidized it, but now all the taxis in Yanjing are going crazy. They only accept orders from the taxi app. My mother spent a long time on the roadside looking for a taxi.
She couldn't even get a taxi, so she finally called me and I drove her home."
"Hey, I didn't expect the competition to be so fierce. This is a big sin. How about buying a car for our mother?"
Lu Fei raised his head and blinked.
"If my mother loved driving, why would you have waited until now to buy it? My mother can't drive. She gets nervous when she drives and makes mistakes easily. With her driving skills, our whole family would be worried if she really drove the car." Gao Yuanyuan
I couldn't help but complain.
"Pfft, can this driving skill be inherited?" Lu Fei blurted out.
"What do you mean... OK, you dare to say that I can't drive! You say I inherited it from my mother, right?" Gao Yuanyuan glared, "I want to tell my mother and my sister-in-law this."
"Ahem, just a joke, just a joke."
Lu Fei wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth with a tissue, "How about, like our father, we provide our mother with a car and a driver. When she wants to go out, just say something?"
"No, no, my mother won't agree, and neither will my father." Gao Yuanyuan shook her head, "If you give my father a car and a driver, you are rehiring him to your company to use his spare energy."
"This won't work, that won't work either, so we have to wait until the price war is over." Lu Fei shrugged helplessly.
Giving Gao's father such a high treatment is not entirely due to his relationship with his father-in-law. It is also because he invested in this private aviation and drone business company. Whether it is management or research and development, it cannot do without him. After all, it is
A treasure in the aerospace compound.
"Then when will you finish this price war?"
Gao Yuanyuan cracked the hard-boiled egg and slowly peeled it open.
"It's not up to us to decide how long we have to fight. Before, it was Shakesha, which was about to be eliminated. Now it's Didi. In short, it's up to them to fight for as long as they want, until they take over the country's online taxi-hailing market.
Market, the second phase of the task has been completed, otherwise, wouldn’t the money have been wasted.”
The fried noodles with garlic made Lu Fei couldn't help but say "authentic".
"I'm also curious, how many banknotes have been burned so far according to your reckless method of smashing?"
Gao Yuanyuan put the peeled eggs into his bowl.
"Just over 200 million yuan was burned."
Lu Fei took a bite of the egg.
"More than 200 million? Just?"
Gao Yuanyuan's eyes widened in disbelief, "This much money is enough for us to make one "Pacific Rim 2" and three or four "Youth" movies. This is just 'that'. How much do you plan to burn?"
Money? 300 million, 400 million, or 500 million?”
"My instructions to Shunfeng and Lao Xu are that there is no cap on the salary, and they will give it whenever they ask for money. I fully respect the decision of Lao Xu and Shunfeng's management, as long as the task can be completed."
Lu Fei swallowed the egg in one gulp.
"You guys are too scary. If you follow this burning method, wouldn't it be possible to burn more than a billion dollars in a few months?"
Gao Yuanyuan was used to shopping and fighting in shopping malls, but she was also shocked by the astonishing speed of burning money on the Internet.
"The Internet is basically a winner-take-all model. Whether it is e-commerce, social networking, search, travel, catering, group buying, etc., it is already difficult for the second place to gain a foothold. The third place will be on the verge of elimination in the future.
Be eliminated."
Lu Fei raised his lips, "This is the Internet and mobile Internet. It's like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat."
"But you are now engaged in a price war, what should you do after the subsidies are paid out? During this period, you have burned a lot, and the burning has been very serious, but then others have burned a lot more, and the users you have accumulated some time ago will be lost in vain.
Are there other taxi-hailing apps? This situation exists, right? What should you do?"
Gao Yuanyuan turned sideways and carefully fed it to Lu Hua.
"So if we want to completely unify the national online taxi-hailing market within one or two years, relying solely on the core competitiveness of burning money is far from enough." Lu Fei had to lament.
"The threshold is too low. It's just like the film and television industry. As long as you have money, you can make movies."
Gao Yuanyuan felt the same way.
Lu Fei took a sip of milk and said, "It's even lower than the film and television industry. Spending money may not necessarily lead to a well-received movie, but as long as you are willing to spend money, you can easily enter the online ride-hailing market. So far,
, no real barriers were formed.”
"There's no tailwind either?"
Gao Yuanyuan was speechless.
"We are still building a system that at least supports Shunfeng. I'm afraid no one can match it." Lu Fei stretched out his finger, "Smartphones, Android systems, payment tools, big data cloud computing, navigation systems, financing systems, etc."
The corner of his mouth raised slightly, "In short, Shunfeng relies on these to mobilize hundreds of millions of funds to fight price wars so efficiently. Otherwise, more money will be burned than less, where will it be burned, how long will it be burned, and whether the money burned can be replenished in time.
, how to convert the new users into loyal fans, these problems cannot be solved.”
"Then why didn't you wait until the barrier was built before taking action?" Gao Yuanyuan cast an inquiring look.
"Time, I'm racing against time now."
Lu Fei wiped his mouth with a tissue, "I'm actually not interested in the taxi app itself. I only invested for the purpose of car sharing. In the future, the business will develop from taxis to private cars and improve the utilization rate of cars. The most important thing is
That is, to lay out the layout for artificial intelligence, intelligent driving and new energy vehicles."
"Are new energy vehicles like the BYD Qin in your garage?" Gao Yuanyuan's eyes lit up.
"Yes, new energy vehicles will be a pillar industry with an output value of trillions in the future. Artificial intelligence is also the future trend of the Internet. How can it be compared with the market value of a mere taxi-hailing software." Lu Fei said with a smile, "It's not so much that I invested in it.
It’s Shunfeng, but it’s better to invest in the future of cars and the Internet. This is what makes Shunfeng different from other taxi-hailing apps.”
"The 'pattern' you always talk about, right?"
Gao Yuanyuan blinked strangely.
"right."
Lu Fei looked at Lu Hua being fed and asked for no reason: "How is Han and Tang's summer program this year?"
"Well, Sissi's "Famous Catchers" is not satisfactory. The box office barely exceeded 200 million. It can barely meet our expectations. But after all, it is the owner of Enlight Film and Television. It is not a project led by us, so there can't be too many
demanding."
Gao Yuanyuan said excitedly: "On the other hand, "To Our Fading Youth" directed by Sister Zeng Li really exceeded all of our expectations. It has only been released for half a month and has already grossed more than 500 million at the box office. Based on past experience, seven
There is absolutely no problem with 800 million. It’s really unexpected. I didn’t expect a youth nostalgia movie..."
"Is it so exciting? Is it so popular?"
Lu Fei had a playful smile on his face.
"Yes, but such a result is not only due to the winning theme, but also due to the traffic of Mimi and Shishi, as well as the appeal and topicality of Wang Fei and Sister Zeng Li."
Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said: "'July and Ansheng', I am going to follow this configuration. Do it again, what do you think?"
"Very good. So this time Baihua, Yang Mi wins Best Actress, and Senior Sister wins Best Director. It should be said that we have great hopes."
Lu Fei drank the milk in the cup in one gulp.
"Mimi has a show, but Sister Zeng Li may be a little nervous. She has to compete with Feng Pants this time, and the shortlisted film is not "To Youth"." Gao Yuanyuan shook her head, "Next year's Golden Rooster, I can try it."
"Then next year."
Lu Fei nodded.
Gao Yuanyuan murmured: "Sister Zeng Li and Sister Hailu have both transformed into producers and directors. Fortunately, Mimi and Shishi have been trained to be top-notch people who can step up to the top. Next, it is Tiantian and Qianqian's turn." While feeding,
Said, "We also need to train a group of new people in addition to the four young ladies. The company has recently recruited a lot of girls."
Lu Fei looked indifferent and flipped through the newspaper.
"In addition to Zhao Liying and Yaya, we have recruited two new recruits, Dilmurat Dilraba and Gulina Zha." Gao Yuanyuan said, "Including Li Zhien on the stick side, the resources are becoming increasingly insufficient."
While talking, he secretly looked up.
However, the newspaper blocked her view, and just when she turned her attention back to her son who had finished feeding, she suddenly heard:
"Where is Huayi? How is Huayi?"
"Hey, why did you suddenly ask about Huayi?"
"The two Huayi brothers were too restless and ignorant. They supported Didi covertly and openly. We launched the 'Four Little Hua Dan Voice Service'. As a result, Huayi also attracted actresses like Shuang Bing to Didi.
In addition, before, Huayi artists were asked to post on Weibo and promote it, so the friends of the enemy are the enemies."
Lu Fei said with a straight face, "I have to give them some pain."
"Well, let me think about it."
Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes, "Huayi's current strategy is very strange. It is obviously a film and television company, but it has been reducing its investment in film and television. It is more dependent on Feng Pants' projects than before. Once Feng Pants' movies fail, Huayi's stock price will plummet."
It will plummet."
"Feng Pants has a new movie this year?"
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, "1942", it is said that the production cost alone is 200 million, plus the publicity cost, the box office will need at least 700 million to make back the money. I don't know how they came up with the idea of making such a heavy and serious film
The theme is placed in the Lunar New Year section."
Gao Yuanyuan curled her lips.
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes, "Can you take a sniper shot?"
"Okay, I'll just adjust the schedule. I'll give Huayi a flanking attack. In the same schedule, we'll have "Thailand" first, and then we'll have "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" later. How about that?"
Gao Yuanyuan showed a proud smile.
"great!"
Lu Fei was very satisfied. The cost of "1942" was too high, and the final loss was small. The most important thing is that Feng Pants failed in his first film. Once Huayi's elixir failed, Huayi's
The project is no longer stable, it is difficult to guarantee box office and reputation, and the market value and stock price will naturally become red.
Anything can happen in China's stock market!
It is not impossible for the Shanghai Composite to fall below 2800 points!
Just before the attack on Huayi, the national war on ride-hailing software had just entered its second half. With Didi's support to the end, Heshunfeng was fighting to the death. The brutal fighting caused other small and medium-sized online ride-hailing companies to be basically destroyed.
The hornet in Hangzhou is dead!
Although Yanjing's Yaoyao had $15 million to bet against Sequoia, it couldn't find the next round of financing and died!
In the huge online ride-hailing market, only Didi is holding on.
At this moment, what is on the projection screen in the conference room is not a comparison of data between Shunfeng and Didi, but an old movie——
"The Battle of Moscow".
It is said in the film that Moscow cannot be defeated. Alexander came, Napoleon came, and Adolf came, but they all came back defeated. Cheng Wei used this belief to cheer up the team every day.
Lu Fei is Napoleon!
If you fight against Didi, you will encounter Waterloo sooner or later!
"Songfeng attacks with all its strength without considering profits at all. It cannot last long, so we can only make a quick decision. As long as Didi persists, it will survive and see the dawn of dawn. After this price war, it will become China's No. 1
The second best taxi-hailing app.”
Liu Qing looked around and cooperated with Cheng Wei to boost morale.
"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Liu, but according to the information revealed by Mr. Lu, Softbank intends to invest in Shunfeng, Penguin, Sogou, and Feigou. They are also preparing to increase capital. This... I'm afraid..."
The vice president bit the bullet and said it.
For a moment, everyone whose emotions were aroused by the movie felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured down on them, and everyone regained their composure and rationality.
The will also became depressed.
The atmosphere was filled with dead silence, solemn and dull.
Cheng Wei gritted his teeth. Such a super luxurious investment lineup, even on a global scale, is probably one of the most complex interests and the most luxurious personnel structure. If it were left to other Internet companies, it might have been long ago.
There was internal strife.
But one thing that is different about Shunfeng is——
Mr. Lu is the core of this ultra-complex interest structure.
As long as he is there, Tongfeng can operate normally and efficiently.
"Don't worry, everyone, we also have foreign aid!"
Liu Qing said bluntly that in addition to Oceanwide, Giant, Goldman Sachs, and Primavera, they also found Russian capital, Yuri Milner, known as the "legendary investor."
In an instant, the whole hall was in an uproar and whispering to each other.
This is a rich Russian man who has invested in Facebook and Xiaomi!
"Why didn't you mention it to me?"
Cheng Wei lowered his voice and said.
"Because the conditions he proposed are a bit harsh."
Liu Qing said helplessly: "He said that if Didi wants to survive and wants his investment, it must either quickly merge with Shunfeng. After the merger, US$500 million will be directly credited to the account, or..."
"No way! Don't even think about it!"
Cheng Wei refused flatly.
"That's the second option. Either go to Uber. The enemy of your enemy is your friend. If you lure Uber into investing, you can also get $500 million in financing." Liu Qing stared at him.
"Here... make an appointment with Uber for me immediately."
Cheng Wei was familiar with the history of various wars and immediately understood the benefits of forming an alliance with Uber. In addition to funds, it was Uber's influence and competitiveness, especially in the domestic market of the United States.
In this way, Uber can replace Didi in the international market, involve Shunfeng's energy, and disperse Shunfeng's power in China.
Colleagues, Didi is fighting fiercely with Shunfeng in the Chinese market, and it is also helping Uber attract firepower, and the price it pays is——
Lure the jackal Uber into your home.
Compared with the fierce tiger Shunfeng, the wolf becomes cute. ()
