Capital originally had a big game to play. It would be best to IPO a few taxi-hailing apps this year, a few food delivery apps the year after that, a few shared fish and shrimps IPO the year after that, and finally a few IPOs next year.
Free coffee.
If things with similar concepts and different tracks appear together in the Nasdaq queue area, their value will be low.
However, Gu Kun doesn't care, what he wants is that the value of these junk goods will all become cheaper. He is destroying these tracks with the mentality of Brother Crow overturning the table, so his dead soldiers will depreciate in equal proportions with other speculators. He
It doesn't matter.
Just let these guys die faster.
As a result, the free group purchase subsidy in 2009 has not yet subsided. In 2010, the takeout subsidy war and the taxi subsidy war in 2011 have come forward. There are some sharing concept projects that are relatively asset-light and will not burn too much equipment purchase money.
, was also taken out to test the waters.
Burning a shared power bank will burn you to death, just to scare the people behind you, stop gathering together for shared bicycles and electric vehicles - it's not that this kind of thing can't be done, nor that it can't be convenient for the people, but if you don't have the ability, don't waste social resources
Under such circumstances, killing all opponents and shocking the small group is a waste of social resources.
Didn’t you know that in those years of shared bicycles, many bicycle factories expanded their production lines, and the production lines were scrapped within a year and a half at most, because there were no follow-up orders, and the expansion of the production lines was in vain. Of course, the bicycle factories did not lose money.
, because they give it to themselves when they ship the goods
The price of bicycles has increased, and the depreciation of the production line that could have been amortized for seven or eight years is forced to be depreciated in one and a half years or even within one year. This means that the depreciation of the production line amortized on the price of each bicycle is less than
When the water flow is slow and steady, the production is seven to eight times higher.
That's why the purchase price of a bicycle at that time often started at 2,000 yuan, which was entirely because the depreciation of the production line increased sevenfold.
Since Gu Kun had the ability and foresight, he first destroyed all mankind's imagination of the benefits of "sharing" and made them believe that even if you took possession of all of this thing, you wouldn't make much profit, so don't come in and seek death.
Picking a small "share" that doesn't waste too much money destroys the imagination of other large shares, and destroys the historical total valuation possibility of all logically similar companies several times.
…
The fire of subsidies has been burning for two years. By the end of 2011, Alipay had grown to 1 billion users ahead of schedule. Under Gu Kun's layout, it also launched many overseas versions, occupying the Southeast Asian market.
Gu Kun was originally from Lanfang, and the 500 million people in Southeast Asia were represented by Gu Kun and fought against Soros. Therefore, it was easier for Gu Kun to engage in financial innovation in Southeast Asia than it was historically for people like Ma Feng to go to Southeast Asia.
Duo, who has given him a good reputation over the years? He has always been known in Southeast Asia for his ability to handle a bowl of water evenly and for his eagerness for justice.
This is Gu Kun’s territory. Neither Xiangjiang Tycoon nor Li Jiapo’s Temasek can now compete with Gu Kun in terms of financial innovation.
So as of 2012, various Alipay derivatives in Southeast Asia already have 200-300 million users. The reason why there are not 500 million is not because Gu Kun is not developing well or has competitors. Southeast Asia is really too poor.
, there are at least 100 million people in Indonesia alone who are so poor that they have never graduated from primary school. These people can't even afford smartphones or computers. How about Alipay?
While payment products are running wild, the initial subsidy wars against Internet platforms have almost reached the point of seeking an IPO.
The earliest ugly groups want to be on the list this year, and those food delivery companies will probably be on the list next year. Sharing and taxi-hailing are ranked about 2019. Because of the relationship, the valuations of these companies have been lower than in history, but the money is
It burned a lot, and it was really bleak.
But Gu Kun's stab in the back was just about to be seen.
In the past two years, Gu Kun actually didn't burn much money, because the money burning was divided into rounds. Even if he went through the burn-and-run mode during the A round and B round, he would only subsidize a few million or a few thousand at most.
Thousands, and it will only reach hundreds of millions of levels when it becomes extremely hot later.
And every time Gu Kun started a war on a track, he stopped. He burned tens of millions, maybe a few hundred million at most (it was only a few hundred million RMB, and in US dollars, he would not spend 100 million per order).
If the other party continues to follow and show-hand, Gu Kun will pretend to give in and stop being burned.
At the beginning, Goldman Sachs and other Oceania capitals didn't believe it, and some agents of the comprador stooge family who came from Goldman Sachs didn't believe it either. They thought Gu Kun's funds were so huge, how could he give in?
But Gu Kun just "saw that he had three aces and his opponent had three preserved eggs", so he folded his cards and refused to follow!
The Goldman Sachs dogs were so instigated that they burned money like crazy, hundreds of millions, billions, and dollars. They invited the poor people all over China and Oceania to eat for free, take taxis, and ride for free. They drank milk tea for free and drank coffee for free.
money.
Their performance reports were also very good-looking at one time. Several track platforms claimed to have hundreds of millions of users in just two years. If these are true, then these billions of dollars are a good deal.
But Gu Kun soon proved them to be false.
More than half a year before those companies were about to seek IPO, Gu Kun suddenly started to burn out again after two years of accumulation.
It wasn't much, just a few hundred million, and he started to let the troubled dead men raised by Gu Kun continue to subsidize it.
Those loyal users who are said to be hundreds of millions in size suddenly flowed from those glamorous subsidized companies. In order to stabilize their position, those companies had to beg for more money from the financial bastards from Goldman Sachs.
Gu Kun burned him.
And in order to cover up the fact that they have "low user loyalty" and prevent future primary market underwriters and secondary market investors from underestimating their company, if Gu Kun burns one yuan, they will have to burn at least five yuan and ten dollars in return.
Only yuan can be laundered back.
As soon as they started to burn, Gu Kun retreated. When they felt that they were stable and wanted to IPO, Gu Kun started to burn again.
Those guys immediately collapsed and sent someone to tell Gu Kun: "Master Gu, with your way of burning, the companies you support can't even be the first in the industry. Isn't your money wasted in vain? Why don't you settle the score?"
, how much money you have burned in total, we will give it to you three times! We have acquired the platforms you supported! No matter how much you have wasted before, we have paid for it and let you leave the market three times. You don’t have to do anything to get something.
Make money, okay? Please!"
This rhetoric is like the capital behind Bibi in history. It can no longer bear it. Please give the capital behind Kuaibi a channel to cash out, take the money and leave.
But how could Gu Kun be comparable to the capital behind KuaiBi? He had no intention of making any money from his investments. He could afford to lose money.
"I'm not interested. I'm only interested in destroying it if I can't win it. I don't expect my company to make money. I want no one to survive on this track."
If you want to invest, invest in long-term hard scientific research that is slow to produce results. If you come here to speculate and deceive people and seek death, don't blame Mr. Gu for being rude.
This attitude of killing everyone without money and salt completely angered the Goldman Sachs group and the comprador faction: "Aren't you afraid of being sanctioned for being so arrogant? We'll see!"
Of course Gu Kun is not afraid of being sanctioned because he is an old friend of the Chinese people.
His Alipay, like Ma Feng's history, allows social security funds to be invested and share dividends with the national team.
He would rather give a little more profit in exchange for killing all the dumping dogs.
And since I had a lot of money, I originally wanted to do something arrogant and show off my dignity as a Chinese.
This is not called submissiveness, it is purely showing off, so don’t feel like you are being taken advantage of by the country.
Just like Gu Kun's old colleague, Mr. Mahathir of the Abu Dhabi Consortium. Although he gave up Diba, he did not give up other things in the history of the Abu Dhabi Consortium that spent money to show off their wealth.
Before China in later generations explored and landed on Mars, didn't there also be a project of NASA in Oceania and a project of the United Arab Emirates Aerospace in the same year?
How does a country like the United Arab Emirates, which is only supported by money from the Abu Dhabi consortium, have shitty technology? It’s because the latitude there is not bad, there is less wind and dryness, the natural environment is good, and at the same time it is willing to burn money, so it has some aerospace projects to show off.
Showing off their wealth, in fact, 100% of the technology is provided by NASA, and the Emiratis just bought a false reputation. In essence, it is a protection fee paid by the UAE to the ocean countries, so as to avoid being sanctioned if they make too much money in other areas of the financial, resources, and investment markets.
Of course Gu Kun can do anything that the Emirati people can do. It’s just that he has the same source of the same language and technology in the north to buy, and he doesn’t need to rely on NASA.
But the cooperation model between Gu Kun and China’s aerospace department can be directly copied from the model between the UAE and NASA.
Gu Kun provided money and land, and northerners developed technology.
There are three elements in the space base environment: low latitude, dryness, and little wind. In the early years, China chose Jiuquan because of the dryness of the northwest and to choose a valley bottom where the wind was not strong.
But then China’s new space base was chosen to be Wenchang, a sea-blue city. It is hot, humid, rainy, and has typhoons. Both of these points are far inferior to those in the northwest. But the biggest advantage is the low latitude, the high linear speed of the earth’s rotation, and the small gravity, so it is difficult to escape
The technical difficulty of the earth is low, saving power and fuel.
Low latitude is the most important.
In this way, the conditions in Lanfang are very suitable for aerospace research and launch. No matter how low the latitude of Hailan Island is, it is only the lowest on mainland China, and it is still close to 20 degrees north latitude.
Lanfang is only 1.5 degrees north latitude, and it is in the equatorial windless zone, with no wind at all. The problem of rain is similar to Hailan, which is hot and humid and rainy, but the tropics have a dry season and a rainy season. As long as there are no launch missions during the rainy season, it will be fine.
If that doesn't work, Gu Kun can buy artificial rainfall anti-aircraft guns, artificial rainfall rocket launchers, and S300 or S400 artificial rainfall missiles.
Pick an island as a space base, and then buy artificial rainfall cannons and arrows on all the surrounding islands to escort scientific research missions. When you want to launch the rocket, clear the surrounding clouds and intercept all the rainwater on the outer islands.
He is so arrogant when he is rich, and he pretends to be just trying to please his own woman by making artificial rain. King You of Zhou also plays with the princes by making beacon fire, can't I use artificial rain every day to coax the horses?
In order to prevent his investments from being sanctioned and framed by outsiders, Gu Kunhao gave the first batch of US$10 billion in aerospace research funds with a stroke of his pen, and outsourced everything from construction to research and development.
As long as a sponsor has a reputation, the things he sends into space in the future will be named by him.
Of course the northerners are happy to see this happen, but doesn't it mean that Lorenzo Medici spent money to sponsor Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael, so he needs Leonardo da Vinci to paint sculptures and praise the Medici family?
As for whether Gu Kun's other investments in shared/subsidized tracks are suspected of disrupting the world, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the combined contribution of those dogs is not as big as that of Gu Ye.
Nobles sponsor artists and scientists, that's what they do in the first place, there's nothing wrong with it.
Earthlings! Learn a little bit. Really, how the nobles burn money.
Compared with Mr. Gu, the other nobles on earth are nothing but meager nobles. Not counting the Abu Dhabi Consortium, the others are not even qualified to be mentioned.
I don’t know about the Han Dynasty, regardless of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
…
In this way, Gu Kun dominated the world of the world's number one luxury tycoon, pushing down Francois Pinault, John Rupert, and Bernard Arnault step by step. It took many years of hard work.
Over time, he gradually climbed from the fourth in the world in this field to third, second, and finally was on par with Bernard Arnault of LVMH——
After all, white people still have very strong self-esteem, so it is impossible for Gu Kun to cheat. He is evenly matched with Arnault. This is already an extremely successful success in the luxury field, and it is also the limit that yellow people can achieve.
For all this, it took him five or six years from 2010 to 2015/16 to gradually defeat his opponents and reach this high position.
However, the subsequent development made the world a little confused. Just when people thought that Gu Kun would go further and further down this path, he quietly began to prepare to retire after his success and hide his talents and bide his time.
Just as he had done when he sold off many high-quality assets, starting in 2015, he gradually sold out the shares of Western luxury brands he had previously purchased under Lanfang at high prices.
From Gucci to Armani to jewelry-related Cartier, they are all gradually reducing their holdings. Some observers estimate that at the rate at which Kun Kun is reducing his holdings, he will completely cash out and leave within ten years.
And Gu Kun's old rival, Bernard Arnault, who still has the only chance to compete with Gu Kun, didn't react at first. He still took over several brands at a high position like a takeover man, spending the acquisition money at every turn.
Tens of billions of dollars.
Gu Kun's wife and other women around him were a little confused when they first saw Gu Kun's decision in 2015.
But Gu Kun was very determined. He only revealed it to his absolutely reliable woman: "We are a luxury brand, and if we want to sell it to European and American white people, we will definitely not be able to sell it to French and Italian companies. We can have the status of being tied for the first place in the world."
, relying on the fact that the Chinese are getting richer and are the world's largest buyers of luxury goods. What we earn is the foreign exchange that the Chinese should have earned from other high-quality countries.
And this is destined. One day when the Chinese no longer feel inferior and they truly feel that their domestic products are the most awesome in the world, my historical mission will be completed. Arnott hasn’t seen this yet, he wants to
Just be the takeover guy. If I wasn't afraid that he would have no money, why would I make a cash-out plan that lasts for up to ten years? I wish he could finish the takeover in five years."
Gu Kun's words are awe-inspiring: he is not here to make money, he is here to complete a historical mission that no one in the Chinese world can complete except him.
There is no need for him to participate in those causes where the Chinese can be great without him.
This is the mission of a herald of spring. When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, he will retire with success, and with 800 billion US dollars in spare money, he will be a rich man who stays at home for the rest of his life, with peaches and plums all over the world.
Of course, this amount of money is quite large, at least more than half of the total assets of the Abu Dhabi consortium, and close to 50% of the size of Saudi Aramco.
