Five hundred and eleventh chapter anxious to get angry
"Damn it, Yida, you're going to punch Ahri and kick Penguin!"
Justice League WeChat group, Huang Xin Aite and Zhang Yida typed.
Zhang Yida posted an emoji that looked like a mummy with a bruised nose and swollen face.
"You see, this is my life recently, being punched by Ahri and kicked by Penguin."
"When is the IPO going to happen?" Chen Wei came online.
"Earlier than Didi, later than Magnesium Tuan!"
Chen Wei did not dwell on this topic, but asked: "Is it really valued at 200 billion?"
Zhang Yida: “More real than real gold!”
Huang Xin: “I feel it’s a bit exaggerated, unless the annual revenue reaches 150 billion!”
Zhang Yida: "It will definitely be completed this year!"
"The biggest shortcoming is the content. Penguin and Qiandu are strong rivals!"
It was a rare occasion for Zhang Ming to speak out, leaving Zhang Yida, Chen Wei, and Huang Xin stunned for a moment.
Ever since Zhang Ming's short video dream was shattered, his relationship with Zhang Yida has rapidly deteriorated.
Later, Toutiao Video went overseas. But because Musical.ly, an awesome product, had been acquired by Zhang Yida in advance, Toutiao’s overseas short video business has been stumbling, and it basically has no chance in this field.
However, Toutiao’s product is still very competitive and has always occupied the number one position in the country. It is regarded as Toutiao’s basic base and cannot be easily shaken.
As for Tiantian Toutiao, it is still in the second echelon of the industry. Penguin News cannot catch up, let alone catch up with Jinri Toutiao.
Seeing Zhang Ming taking the initiative to show his kindness, Zhang Yida didn't know what the other party was planning.
He didn't refuse anyone thousands of miles away, and typed back: "The two giants have been deeply involved in the market for many years, and they can't shake it all at once. Take your time."
…
Bonima turned off the monitoring applet and found no special news.
All they talked about was some information he knew, which was of no value at all.
The only useful information is that Zhang Ming seems to have accepted his fate and is repairing his relationship with Zhang Yida.
He now feels that Ruixiang has really become a serious problem and is competing with Penguin in many fields.
I regretted why I didn’t strangle Rui Xiang to death in his infancy earlier.
He now understands why Ah Li is so cruel and ruthless. When Rui Xiang refused to accept the controlling stake, he was about to beat Rui Xiang to death.
It was the penguins who had a hand in raising this scourge.
Not long ago, people from SoftBank came to ask for compensation with contracts. DouShi and Musical.ly achieved revenue of 26.2 billion yuan and won the bet.
Penguin was responsible for the 0.75% stake SoftBank lost in its bet, and it settled the matter by refunding hundreds of millions of dollars in equity transfer funds.
DouShi's ability to monetize ads made Ponima feel anxious. The money might nourish Ruixiang into a giant.
The first thing to erode is Penguin’s content market share, followed by finance and technology.
Penguin is no longer able to shoot Ruixiang to death. On the contrary, in the competition of short videos, Weishi has been revised and upgraded several times, but it cannot beat Dioshu and Kuaishou.
After summoning military advisor Liu Zhiping, the two discussed countermeasures.
"The valuation of US$200 billion cannot be taken seriously. If you ask me to look at it, it is at most 150 billion!"
Liu Zhiping was born in an investment bank and is extremely familiar with various valuation models.
Although he didn't know Ruixiang and Zhonghe's financial situation in the past six months, based on last year's financial report, he could estimate it pretty well.
Bonima nodded, "I know this, just blow bubbles! Zhang Yida is the best at deceiving venture capital investors. Didn't we all get fooled back then?"
Liu Zhiping said "hmm", not wanting to comment further on this.
Because it involves strategic mistakes, if we seriously investigate them, no one, including Bonima, will be able to escape responsibility.
"If you beat the snake, you will have seven inches. Where do you think Xinrui Xiang Group's seven inches are?"
Liu Zhiping touched his balding hair, thought for a while, and slowly said: "There are four major business sectors: technology, finance, e-commerce, and content.
The technological foundation is relatively poor, but recently it is competing with us, Ali, and Huawei for the government cloud and smart city markets.
At present, it is not a serious problem, we should pay more attention to Ah Li and Hua Wei."
Bonima nodded. In the final analysis, Ruixiang was established too late and its foundation was too shallow.
Even when Zhang Yida engaged in scientific and technological research and development in a "militant" manner, the gap could not be equalized all at once.
"Finance has really become a trend. Banks, insurances, securities, funds... all have licenses, and they even have one more consumer finance license than we do.
Now that we have business synergies with Pinduoduo, DouShi, and Kuaishou, we may usher in new leaps and bounds."
Bonima remained silent. This is the result of letting go. It is simply raising a tiger's head.
“Although Pinduoduo is developing rapidly in e-commerce business, Ali is not a vegetarian either. I heard that it plans to restart Juhuasuan.
On the Goudong side, Daqiangzi has even put the social e-commerce plan on the agenda.
With these two companies involving Pinduoduo's energy, it might become a big hole for Ruixiang to bleed."
Finally hearing some happy news, Bonima said with a smile: "Pinduoduo's current rapid development is based on a large number of subsidies. Once the subsidies are stopped, users will definitely return to Taobao in large numbers."
Liu Zhiping nodded, "That's true, but once users develop habits, Pinduoduo can still occupy a place in e-commerce.
Moreover, Xinrui Xiang Group has more than one Pinduoduo.”
"How do you say that?" Bonima frowned. There was more than one Pinduoduo, so couldn't there be two?
Liu Zhiping's eyes were profound, "After the live broadcast e-commerce of the four major platforms of DouShi, Kuaishou, Xiaohongshu and Bilibili is established, there will be an opportunity to create another one called Pinduoduo."
Bonima was a little puzzled. Isn't it that exaggerated? So he said: "Taobao also has live broadcasts, and it's done so early. It shouldn't be worse than Ruixiang, right?"
Liu Zhiping shook his head and chuckled, "It's different. Taobao itself doesn't have enough traffic, so how can we support Taobao Live?"
If Ruixiang can continue to maintain its leading position in short videos, the scale of live streaming e-commerce will easily surpass Taobao Live in the future."
Compared with e-commerce, Bonima was more concerned about content and asked Liu Zhiping: "Let's talk about the content section."
“The content section is what matters.”
Liu Zhiping sighed, “I feel that the content is migrating from pictures and text to short videos, including novels and news sections, and there are reports that users’ usage time is declining.
And the content is exactly Ruixiang’s seven inches. As long as you defeat them in a short video, Ruixiang will be like a tiger with its teeth pulled out.”
Bonima feels that things are very difficult. Since last year, the three BAT companies have been deploying short videos in an attempt to snipe DouShi and Kuaishou.
Except for Qiandu’s Haokan Video, which relied on Qiandu’s AI and its content base to gain a foothold, Penguin and Ali both failed.
Weishi is a little better, and Tudou’s short video didn’t make any waves at all.
"Defeat him in the field where Ruixiang is most successful?" Bonima asked with doubt in his eyes.
Liu Zhiping responded without hesitation: "Yes, this is the strongest segment of Ruixiang and the largest source of its traffic.
As long as the flow supply is cut off, Ruixiang's spine will be broken.
I know this is difficult, but it must be a reality we must face calmly.
Relying on short videos, Ruixiang can launch ferocious attacks on games, long videos, music, novels, animations, movies... many content segments."
Bonima chewed on these words, and the more he thought about it, the more upset he became. He simply lit a cigarette and said while smoking: "How to fight?"
Liu Zhiping has a strategy in mind, and he recounted: "QQ and WeChat fully opened the first-level traffic entrance to Weishi, and secondly, they spent money to poach celebrities to come and settle in, and the top creators of DouShi also want to poach..."
After finishing smoking a cigarette, Liu Zhiping had almost finished speaking.
"Then you take the lead, mobilize all resources, and be sure to suppress the vibrator for me."
Liu Zhiping smiled bitterly, "Dou Vision has 500 million daily active users. We can only say that we have to give it a try, but there is no guarantee."
Bonima didn't push too hard and said: "It's no problem to occupy the third place in the industry, right? Or 100 million daily active users."
"I will try my best!"
Bonima was a little dissatisfied with this statement and felt that Liu Zhiping didn't have much confidence.
But thinking about it carefully, I also know how difficult it is, so I can only comfort myself not to be too anxious and get angry.
In addition, isn’t there Ahri? I’m afraid he’s more anxious to get angry than Penguin!
