Chapter 2288 Small Acquisition (Part 1)
Dianping.com was founded in 2003.
This point is no different from the previous life, and their initial development is also the same. They still mainly review various gourmet restaurants, and at best they charge a little advertising fee.
But after 2006, their development is completely different from the previous life, the reason lies in the rise of Chose girl.
Chose girl let Dazhong.com know what group buying is and what is the power of cheap group buying.
A Chose girl supports group buying platforms in Europe and America, so as the largest food review website, Dazhong.com also feels that it can support a piece of the sky in Huaguo.
Therefore, Dazhong.com made active preparations. In early 2007, Dazhong.com launched its group buying program. It basically copied Chose Girl’s mode of operation. It’s the same in every way, except that one is used in China and the other. Just use it in the US.
But the luck of Dazhong.com is not as good as Chose girl. To be precise, the treatment of plagiarists and original creators is naturally different.
Chose girl relied on her own originality, and did not follow suit until after most of the country was conquered, but this has not seriously hindered Chose girl's European and American layout, and Chose girl has become a well-deserved overlord.
Dazhong.com is different. It is originally a copycat, and they are not the only ones who have spotted this industry in the country. Step in.
Therefore, in 2007 and 2008, although Dazhong.com made great achievements in the group purchase business, they only accounted for 22% of the national group purchase share, and the remaining 78% was occupied by more than 50 group purchase websites.
Two of the group buying websites, Nuomi and Meituan, have a market share no less than that of Dazhong.com, and they are also doing well.
Ok.
It is not just Dazhong that has changed. Meituan and Nuomi, two websites that should have appeared in 2010, appeared three years earlier this time. Moreover, he actually got similar results to his previous life, Xiao Qi had to sigh a little. No matter how much the butterfly wings are incited, some people who should be successful will always be successful.
However, perhaps because Dazhong.com completely copied Chose girl, Tang Mingxiang fell in love with this website and wanted to buy it directly, as a bridgehead for Chose girl to enter China.
Little Maggie is now in the United States. So this task was placed on Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi also knew what it means to make the best use of someone, so he just threw his hands away, and the matter of acquisition fell on Vice President Zhou.
To say that Vice President Zhou is really pitiful. He just went out to play with his little girlfriend during the Spring Festival, and when he came back, he encountered endless work—you know, even before the Spring Festival, his task was not easy. Some of the work supervised by Yu Shanshan also fell on him.
In the past, there was Xu Weihong who could help relieve his worries. But now that Xu Weihong has gone to Fairy Bank, Zhou Bo's task is even heavier.
But Zhou Bo is young after all, not even a few years older than Xiao Qi. It's a time of high energy, so count yourself as busy. He also has plenty of energy.
At least Vice President Zhou is much better at arranging time than Qin Yibin.
For example, during Chinese New Year, even though he was very busy, he still took time to take his little girlfriend to the Maldives, which was very romantic. If there were no two little babies in his family to make troubles, I am afraid that this vacation would be very difficult. Small days will make people more envious and jealous.
To say that Zhou Bo really loves Zhu Yun, but Zhou Bo has a strict requirement for this little girlfriend who is less than 20 years old this year, that is, he must love his children.
Although not his own. But Zhou Bo has raised them since they were babies, and this relationship contains many, many things. Zhou Bo has long regarded them as his son and daughter.
The two little guys are also very well-behaved. Not only are they smart and smart on weekdays, but they often help Zhou Bo's parents do what they can. When Zhou Bo is tired, one of the two little guys gives him a massage, and the other calls to wash his feet. The water used to wash his father's feet made Zhou Bo's eyes turn red on the spot.
So for Zhou Bo, girlfriends are easy to find, but sons and daughters cannot give up.
Zhu Yun's age is exactly the age for playing and having fun. It is really difficult for her to be the mother of two 9-year-old children.
But on the other hand, Zhu Yun really admires and is obsessed with Zhou Bo, so she is also working hard to adjust her mentality, not to be the mother of the two babies, but to be their sister first.
In fact, the little guys didn't like Zhu Yun very much, because this vixen came to snatch their father from them, and the children also had a strong sense of crisis, so naturally they didn't like Zhu Yun.
This trip to the Maldives during the Spring Festival is the outbreak of conflicts between the two sides.
Not to mention how big Zhou Bo's head is, the things in his life will naturally not be brought into work.
Because of Xiao Qi's assignment, Zhou Bo also went to Dongfang at this time, and personally held a meeting with Dianping.com for acquisition intentions.
Compared to Fairy Company, Dianping.com is simply a small ant. Not to mention Zhou Bo coming here in person, even a random department manager is much higher in status than the bosses of Dianping.com.
Therefore, Dazhong.com attached great importance to Zhou Bo's arrival, and directly leased a Rolls-Royce. Chairman Wang Yun and Operations Director Wei Zhangbei were there to welcome him.
All the way to exchange pleasantries without mentioning.
When he arrived at the headquarters of Dazhong.com, Zhou Bo didn't talk nonsense, and immediately went to the meeting room with them and started the first round of negotiations.
From the attitude of Dazhong.com, it can be seen that they are very interested in the offer from Fairy Company, otherwise they would not have made such a big fuss, and basically rejected it on the phone.
Reality is often very realistic.
Like the previous life, Meituan.com, which came from behind, put great pressure on Dazhong.com. They couldn't even keep their first place, so how could they be reserved?
What's more, Zhou Bo represents not only Xiao Qi, but also the olive branch of Chose girl, the originator of group buying websites.
Many people know how powerful Chose girl is, and many people know that Miss Tang Mingxiang, who has faded out of the front line in recent years, is truly the world's richest woman.
But not many people know the relationship between Tang Mingxiang and Xiao Qi.
Dazhong.com didn't know, but when Tang Mingxiang called Wang Yun, she directly said, "I can't come because I have something to do. Let my husband, Xiao Qi, send someone to negotiate with you." The phone call came, which really shocked them.
Unexpected!
The genius girl is actually Xiao Qi's girlfriend, and with Xiao Qi's support in all aspects, it's no wonder Tang Mingxiang has developed so well in the United States!
However, they are not gossips, so naturally they will not gossip everywhere, but they have more expectations for this cooperation negotiation.
"Our proprietress' meaning is very clear. With a wholly-owned acquisition, Dianping.com will become a subsidiary of Chose girl, join the Chose girl group camp, and be responsible for the business of group buying in mainland China." Zhou Bo looked at a group of senior executives of Dianping.com and said, " Specifically, what conditions and needs do you have, I can give you an accurate answer here."
Seven or eight high-level executives of Dazhong.com were all excited when they heard the words, but also a little envious and jealous.
Of course, melancholy is inevitable.
"Mr. Zhou, can our cooperation only be limited to acquisitions and acquisitions?" Wang Yun asked with a frown.
Although he had expected such a result a long time ago, Dazhong.com did not have any bargaining capital when dealing with behemoths such as Fairy Company and Chose Girl. It is really uncomfortable to be annexed by others.
Zhou Bo nodded and said: "Yes, because my lady boss is not used to cooperating with others in this way in the field she is best at. If you are under her command, you will get ten times more resources than before. What a beauty! Tuan, what kind of glutinous rice, it is impossible to pose any threat to you!"
Wei Zhangbei asked, "But we heard that Ms. Tang only bought 40% of Facebook's shares, and she promised not to interfere with Mr. Zuckerberg's operations. Such an investment model has been praised by many people. The best template for investors and entrepreneurs!"
"Hahaha!" Zhou Bo couldn't help laughing, "It's not that I underestimate you, Mr. Wei, do you think Dazhong.com can compare with Facebook?"
Several people looked slightly embarrassed.
Indeed, compared with Facebook, Dazhong.com is not a matter of a grade, it is a world of difference—Facebook’s valuation exceeds tens of billions of dollars, and Dazhong.com is less than one-tenth of others.
"Facebook's model, whether it is my boss or my boss's wife, is very optimistic. After the IPO in the future, the market value of more than 100 billion US dollars is casual, and the development potential is greater than that of Chose girl." Zhou Bodao, " So our proprietress can tolerate Zuckerberg’s stubbornness. But you are different, not only because of the potential market value, but also because Dazhong.com itself is from the same line as our proprietress’s Chose girl, in the online group buying business , our lady boss considers herself number two, and no one dares to say that she is number one! Therefore, it will be the best choice for both parties to belong to Chose girl!"
When Zhou Bo spoke, he was full of domineering.
But he has the strength to match.
The vice president of Tangtang Fairy Company and the client of the world's richest woman can certainly say such words.
For this, Wang Yun and the others didn't feel disgusted at all, but were just shocked. (to be continued ~^~)
