Chapter 273 The effect of one plus one is greater than ten
Ma Chao didn't say anything, but Li Xinghe couldn't wait to ask and answer himself, "From a normal person's point of view, I will definitely use it, and it will greatly facilitate people's lives."
“And this software not only makes people’s lives and travel easier, it can also provide part-time or full-time job opportunities for many people. As long as you have a car, you can register with our software and apply to become a DaDa car owner, and you can make money immediately. It can be said that this is a win-win situation.
the result of."
At this point, Li Xinghe paused and corrected: "No, this is a win-win result for all three parties."
"Dada Taxi doesn't seem to be making a profit from it, but what we have to do in the early stage is to seize the market. As long as we capture more than half of the market share, it will be a success."
Li Xinghe smiled slightly and said confidently: "I think Mr. Ma has a much deeper understanding of the importance of seizing the market than I do."
These words immediately hit home. Wasn’t Ascendas Group a step too late for the original e-commerce platform?
The market was seized by horse racing, and the final result was that Ma Chao did not get a share of the pie and could only watch the horse racing dominate. This feeling is really uncomfortable.
"It is undeniable that you are brave."
Ma Chao smiled and said: "No one has ever dared to talk to me like this. You are the first."
"Uh..." Li Xinghe smiled, "I just accidentally told the truth. If I offend you, I hope Mr. Ma won't be angry."
"It's not enough to be angry."
Ma Chao waved his hand, "If there is no room for people, how can I sit in this position?"
Ma Chao put one hand on the plan and tapped it lightly with his fingers.
"Mr. Li, why do you think smartphones will be universally available in less than two years?"
Li Xinghe was slightly stunned and said: "In fact, it is not difficult to predict. The price of smartphones has been much lower than the previous two years, and their popularity is gradually expanding. Smartphones with affordable prices like rice phones are beginning to come out. I think
It’s just a matter of time before it becomes fully popularized.”
"According to my speculation, two years is enough, and these two years are the best time for Da Da to develop in taxi-hailing vulgarity."
"Well, what you said makes sense."
Ma Chao nodded, "It's just that making business software requires a huge amount of data support. Do you think this team can do this well now?"
"If necessary, I can send the company's technical department to help."
Li Xinghe decisively refused, "Thank you, Mr. Ma, for your kindness. At present, I am very satisfied with this team. I believe they can make this software good."
"oh……"
Ma Chao's expression was indifferent. An ordinary person would be very happy to hear that Ascendas Group wanted to provide technical support, but Li Xinghe refused without even thinking about it.
In Li Xinghe's view, attracting investment is a matter of attracting investment, and technical things must be completely owned by oneself. This is the basic condition for having the right to make decisions.
"How much do you want me to contribute?"
Ma Chao asked.
Li Xinghe smiled and said, "How much depends on Mr. Ma's wishes."
"I believe in Mr. Ma's vision and judgment."
This statement is somewhat flattering, and it also puts Ma Chao in a very high position. If the investment is too small, wouldn't it mean that he admits that he has no vision?
"Mr. Li, you are such an interesting person."
Ma Chao smiled calmly and stretched out a finger.
Li Xinghe's heart trembled slightly and he asked tentatively: "Ten million US dollars?"
Ma Chao shook his head and extended a finger with his other hand.
"Twenty million dollars?"
Ma Chao smiled and said proudly: "One plus one, I'll pay you 30 million US dollars!"
"Um?"
Li Xinghe was astonished. He never expected that Ma Chao would be so generous. At the same time, he was also confused, why 30 million?
"
"I hope that this project brought by Mr. Li can also achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two. Mr. Li should understand what I mean, right?"
Li Xinghe suddenly realized that the boss is indeed a boss, with sharp eyes and broad knowledge.
Originally, I was thinking of recruiting other big guys to invest, but now it seems that one Ma Chao is enough.
Thirty million US dollars, more than 200 million, is enough to maintain DaDa Taxi’s subsidy plan for nearly a year. As long as it seizes this blank market and survives this period, the dawn of victory will usher in.
This round of financing is a win-win situation for both Ma Chao and Li Xinghe. Ma Chao can get a large share of the equity, and Li Xinghe can also use this capital to tide over the suffering period and use the money in other places where it is more needed.
Of course, the released equity does not threaten Li Xinghe as the actual controller of Dada Taxi.
And Ma Chao also knew very well that this was the bottom line that Li Xinghe could not touch, so US$30 million was just right.
"Haha... Mr. Ma is indeed far-sighted."
Li Xinghe smiled and stretched out his hand, confidently saying: "Don't worry! Mr. Ma, two years, give me two years, I will definitely let you see the effect and performance of one plus one is greater than ten."
"Okay! Then I'll wait and see."
The cooperation negotiations went very smoothly. It took less than half a day to secure an investment of 30 million US dollars. What others might have spent a month or several months trying to achieve, Li Xinghe did it in just one hour.
Ma Chao originally invited him to have dinner with him, but unexpectedly a distinguished guest came unexpectedly, so Li Xinghe left first.
When we walked to the lobby of Ascendas Building, we heard the sound of arguing at the door. From a distance, we saw a small young man wearing glasses arguing with the security guard.
"I really have an appointment with Mr. Ma's secretary. She said I can see Mr. Ma today."
"Secretary Ma has canceled all meetings today. You won't be able to see me today, so hurry up and leave!"
"how so?"
The young man was unwilling to give in, so he called Ma Chao's secretary's phone number. He called several times but no one answered.
"Please help me ask. We have really made an appointment. I have been waiting for more than a month. I must see Mr. Ma today."
The security guard frowned and said displeasedly: "Are you someone who can't understand people?
I told you, Mr. Ma has canceled all meetings today, no one will be seen, so hurry up and leave!"
"It's obvious that you didn't let me see you on purpose! Otherwise, why wouldn't you ask?"
The young man was also a little annoyed. Anyone else would be anxious if he could not see anyone after waiting for a month.
"Oh no! What nonsense are you talking about?
We are just doing our duty and warning you not to cause trouble! Otherwise, we will throw you out!"
The security guard looked up and down at the young man with contempt on his face. He was dressed in shabby clothes and wore black-rimmed glasses, looking like an otaku.
The people who came to see Ma Chao were either company bosses or big shots from all walks of life. Ma Chao would not easily cancel such a meeting.
There are a lot of young people like this who think they can start a business with passion every day, and the secretary will from time to time screen out potential people for Ma Chao to see.
The young man was lucky and unfortunate at the same time. He was obviously selected, but because Ma Chao had a distinguished guest today, this extremely precious opportunity to meet him was canceled.
