"Although I have never met Mr. Zhang, we have been close friends for a long time."
Su Wang and Zhang Tao shook hands in the box, while Gao Tingting and Zhang Tao's assistants were waiting outside and did not enter the hall.
Previously, the call Su Wang received was from Zhang Tao of Dianping. Although Su Wang and Zhang Tao have no contact and are even competitors, the Internet circle is so big. Zhang Tao got Su Wang’s contact through other friends.
The method is also a breeze.
On the phone, Zhang Tao didn't say he had anything to do with Su Wang, he just said he wanted to meet Su Wang, and Su Wang didn't refuse, so the two met at this very private private club.
"First of all, congratulations to Mr. Su and Meituan for getting out of this crisis."
"Thanks."
The two sat down facing each other, and the etiquette lady brought them tea. Then they closed the door and stood outside the door to wait.
"Mr. Su, I believe you must be curious as to why I suddenly asked you to meet." Zhang Tao asked straightforwardly with a smile.
"I'm indeed a little curious, but since Mr. Zhang has made an appointment, of course I will come."
Su Wang didn't lie either. He really didn't expect Zhang Tao to ask him to meet. On the way here, he guessed the purpose of Zhang Tao's meeting with him, but in the end he felt that his guess was a little inaccurate.
The defeat of Koubei.com is certain. In this case, Meituan and Dianping are the only competitors. Zhang Tao should not meet with him at this time, unless he wants to cooperate with both parties, such as jointly occupying this market.
.
But Su Wang quickly rejected this idea, because he believed that Zhang Tao also knew that this possibility was very small. In the Internet industry, no company in the same field can live in peace, which is different from the real industry.
In the real industry, due to geographical constraints, companies in the same industry can coexist peacefully, because everyone knows that the market area they each occupy is so large, and no one will take away the other's market.
However, the Internet industry has no geographical distinction. They all want to continuously expand their influence and radiation and win more users, and their peers are mortal enemies.
Of course, if neither of the two parties can defeat the other, after already dominating the market, in order to reduce expenses, it is okay not to continue fighting but to tacitly start making money.
After all, a company does not grow by constantly burning money. It must ultimately aim at making profits and keep burning, and those investors will not agree to it.
But it is obvious that the current Meituan and Dianping are not in a stalemate. Both sides are still attacking the city and trying to kill each other. The investors behind them are not willing to shake hands and make peace at this time.
"The Internet media calls the war between our three families the Three Kingdoms War. But who is the Wei State, who is the Shu State, and who is the Wu State? The media always have different opinions, and no one has a conclusion. But now it seems that it is
There are results.”
Zhang Tao looked at Su Wang, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and continued: "Fan Chi's death-seeking behavior has caused Koubei.com to be eliminated. The original Three Kingdoms War has become two parties, but the situation has become...
The development during the Three Kingdoms period was exactly the same."
"Fan Chi committed suicide. He not only killed himself, but also made President Su successful. In the future, users of Koubei.com will probably flow into President Su's Meituan company. This time it will be a blessing in disguise, and President Su's company will establish its dominance."
, Just like during the Three Kingdoms period, Wei State destroyed Shu State, the situation of great unification is already unstoppable."
Hearing Zhang Tao's words, Su Wang narrowed his eyes slightly because he was not sure what Zhang Tao meant when he said this. Was he wearing a high hat on purpose to numb himself, or did he have other ideas?
"Mr. Su, I don't shy away from it. Your company is the biggest beneficiary of this incident. This level of income is comparable to hundreds of millions of marketing investments, but this does not mean that my company is incapable of fighting. Regarding this point
I don’t know if President Su approves or not.”
"I am convinced by Mr. Zhang's words."
Su Wang nodded. Indeed, with this incident, Meituan will have an additional group of users, but this group of users cannot yet determine its dominance in the market, because the real mobile Internet era will be determined.
Two years later.
In other words, in the past two years, there are still many users who have not used mobile Internet products. The real mobile Internet era has not yet arrived. Now Meituan actually plays more of its role on the PC side.
Su Wang got a piece of data from Huang Guobin. Currently, 50% of the users who use Meituan still choose to use the computer version, while only 30% of the users choose the mobile version. As for the remaining
The next 20% of users use a mixture of computers and mobile phones.
As long as these users are not accustomed to using mobile apps, Meituan will not really have peace of mind. There will be products to replace Meituan in the future. Of course, with the addition of food delivery, more and more users are currently using mobile apps.
Much more.
"I have calculated it. In fact, even if Mr. Su wins in the end, I am afraid it will be a tragic victory. With the current capital scale of our company, plus the later financing, we can definitely fight with Meituan for another two years. At that time, Su
Even if you win, how much of the shares in your hand will be left after dilution?"
Su Wang chose to remain silent and looked at Zhang Tao, waiting for Zhang Tao's next words.
"I'm not here to threaten Mr. Su. I just don't think it makes much sense to continue fighting like this. I hope..."
Zhang Tao leaned forward slightly, stared at Su Wang with bright eyes, and said, "I hope Mr. Su can acquire my company and merge it into Meituan."
"Mr. Zhang, are you kidding?"
A flash of light flashed across Su Wang's eyes. He was indeed shocked by Zhang Tao's words. He thought about several possibilities for Zhang Tao to say these words, but he never thought that Zhang Tao would say something to ask him to acquire his company.
.
It is generally impossible for a founder to choose to sell his company unless the company has reached the point of depletion. However, Dianping has obviously not reached this point. With the support of Tencent behind it, as long as it is not really to the point of losing,
, Tencent will support it.
Su Wang couldn't understand why Zhang Tao said such words.
"I'm not kidding. Although this decision was made by me in a short period of time, I am not impulsive at all. Ever since I saw the article you posted, Mr. Su, I have had this idea. In this industry,
It is a blessing for the industry to have someone like you leading the way."
Hearing Zhang Tao's words, Su Wang's expression remained unchanged, but he was happy in his heart. The reason why he posted that article was not really that great, but because he knew the truth and knew that someone was behind it.
, give yourself a character set.
Unexpectedly, I actually fooled the person in front of me. This is really an unexpected surprise.
