Chapter 2402 Too Bold!
In the previous life, many smart electronics companies, including Internet companies, were keen to establish a complete ecological chain in order to make their group companies unbreakable.
These ecological chains all have a subject.
For example, the most important thing in Xiaomi's ecological chain is their Xiaomi system, and the most important mobile phone that carries the Xiaomi system.
Through the Xiaomi mobile phone, daily life services such as online shopping, ordering meals, and buying movie tickets, as well as smart home systems such as TVs, air conditioners, and air purifiers, can all be integrated and controlled by the Xiaomi system.
Even before Xiao Qi's reincarnation, there were rumors that Xiaomi was planning to build a car, and it also used the Xiaomi system for intelligent control.
Xiao Qi doesn't know whether Xiaomi is successful or not, but as long as he has this idea, it proves Rebus's ambition.
Before Apple made a smartphone, it never touched a mobile phone. At that time, mobile phones were dominated by Nokia and Motorola, and people were waiting to see a joke about Apple, a newcomer.
what's the result?
They themselves are a joke, and Apple is a myth.
Therefore, if they ridicule Rebus because he doesn't understand cars, but insist on making cars, then these people are also laughing.
It's very simple, I don't know how to make cars, so why don't I buy a car company?
Just like SAIC bought Roewe, directly buying a company with mature technology, and then adding the smart operating system that Xiaomi is proud of, wouldn't it become a new smart car?
Xiao Qi feels that creating a complete ecological chain for his industry is actually a good way.
At least you can have a complete structure of your own industry, and your ability to resist risks can be greatly enhanced.
In fact, now Xiao Qi already has a complete ecological chain, which is the Xiaoyao series.
Xiaoyao Logistics is in charge of the storage and short-distance transportation of materials.
Xiaoyao Express is in charge of the logistics network all over the country.
Xiaoyao Mall is responsible for purchasing and selling the goods stored by Xiaoyao Logistics, and let Xiaoyao Express be responsible for the delivery.
Such a series of three pillars just form the basic body of an industry, which is solid and unshakable.
However, the Xiaoyao series is just a complete ecological chain of the e-commerce logistics industry, and it cannot guarantee Xiao Qi's other industries.
Another chain that Xiao Qi wants to build can connect more industries, and its main body is still the same as the Xiaomi system. Use the fairy system as a whole to connect and integrate, and rely on it to communicate with all parties.
specific functions. In fact, it is similar to the Xiaomi system, but Xiao Qi will improve it according to the actual situation.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, Xiao Qi has a lot of room for maneuver and modification, so there is no need to worry about haste.
But in addition to this, Xiao Qi has another category of companies to acquire, which is also an important member of the ecological chain he envisioned-electronic map companies.
The acquisition of a map company is actually something Xiao Qi has been thinking about since last year, and it has been six months since then. The departments of Xiannv Company are carefully inspecting various map companies, including famous companies such as Kay Rucker, AutoNavi, Dao Dao Tong, Yitutong, and NavInfo.
Of course, Baidu Map is the best, but it is very difficult to acquire Baidu. If it is a cooperation... It is not Xiao Qi's character to cooperate with others on important projects, so he directly bought the electronic map company and spent money. Development will not be too difficult.
Anything that can be solved with money is not a big problem in Xiao Qi's eyes.
Because I have money.
It's that simple.
Fairy Company's investigation also did not focus on "how much money is needed to acquire this company". In their view, the same is true. Xiao Qi's property is enough for him to control 10 of the world's top 500 companies, so he bought a small company in Huaguo. Still need to think about the price?
What Xiao Qi told them was the most important direction of investigation. It is whether the company has the ability to innovate, whether it has the spirit of struggle, and whether the projects developed are in line with the development of the world... Apart from these, nothing else is very important.
They chose the Gaode map.
There are many reasons. The most important thing is that the technical engineers of AutoNavi Maps are working very hard. Without much overtime pay, they can work for more than 12 hours a day in urban areas and in the wild under the sun, cold wind and heavy snow. At one point, they felt that there was nothing this map company could do badly.
Then there is another reason, that is, the Gaode map is too short of money. Unlike the rest of the map companies, they are backed by big companies. It is all based on some savings and venture capital. If there is no new capital to join, it will be difficult for them to continue to develop.
Therefore, in front of the huge sum of money estimated at 2.8 billion, and in front of the high salary of the evaluation group, Gao De directly knelt up and down. ——The largest private equity fund they obtained 4 years ago was only 40 million U.S. dollars. After 4 years of tight use, it has already been used up.
I really don’t know how distressed they would be if they knew that Alibaba bought 28% of their shares 4 years later and spent 294 million U.S. dollars.
Of course, there is no comparison between this time and the future.
In the next few years, AutoNavi will also rely on going public in the United States next year, selling shares to investors, and attracting venture capital, so as to have sufficient funds to develop its own electronic map.
In a practical sense, their management and shareholding employees do not necessarily get less than they sold to Alibaba in their previous lives.
When the acquisition intention was reached, the two important figures of AutoNavi, President Tang Bin and Technical Director Zheng Yitu, went directly to Rongcheng, preparing to conclude a formal sales contract with the future boss.
Tang Bin is 46 years old, and Zheng Yitu is 43 years old. They are both majors in electronic technology and graphic testing. It's human.
Although Gaode Map was only established in 2002, both of them had worked in the Graphics Research Institute for many years before that, so they were also elites.
Seeing Xiao Qi, the two of them still had some doubts.
After all, the boy in front of him looks no different from an ordinary student, but he is a super genius who has created the miracle of smart electronics, and he is also the richest man in the world, bar none.
Xiao Qi will soon be their boss. How Xiao Qi positions them and how they want to develop Gaode Map are all their concerns.
As a result, Xiao Qi's first words after the greetings. It shocked the two of them.
"How much money do you think Gaode Map needs? How long will it take to develop to the number one in Asia?"
Zheng Yitu was dumbfounded.
Now Gaode map is not even the number one in China, and there are several companies with similar scale and strength as them. Why did Xiao Qi suddenly target the number one in Asia?
Too ambitious, right?
Tang Bin felt a little excited, because he had heard a lot about Xiao Qi, and felt that this genius boy would definitely not just ask exaggerated questions.
So Tang Bin blurted out: "If you are rare, you are willing to allocate no less than 500 million U.S. dollars per year, as well as necessary support in various aspects such as administration, intelligence, and lobbying. I am sure that within two years, we will reach the top 50 in the country. % of the electronic map market share, covering the entire Southeast Asian region within 5 years, becoming the number one in Asia!"
Zheng Yitu almost stared out his eyes.
Good guy!
This old guy really dares to say it out loud, 500 million U.S. dollars per year is equivalent to 3.5 billion yuan, which is more valuable than a Gaode company.
In addition to the various tangible and intangible costs paid by Fairy Company, at least Tang Bin is asking for 4 billion funds, right?
After five years, it will be 20 billion yuan. With so much money, you can spend it on an electronic map covering the whole of Asia, right? !
What Zheng Yitu didn't expect was that. Xiao Qi nodded directly, "Okay, but you should write a detailed plan before that. I will prepare funds for 2 years for you first. If you can reach 50% of the domestic market share within 2 years, Then I will support your subsequent expansion. If not, you can leave by yourself!"
This... this is a promise! ?
A huge surprise enveloped Tang Bin in an instant.
"Okay, I...I...ok...I'll bring it to you as soon as possible..." Tang Bin stammered, "Don't worry, Mr. Qi, if you can't do it well, I'll see you, Old Tang!! "
The huge sum of 8 billion RMB can't beat those old opponents down, Tang Bin has been in this industry for more than 20 years for nothing!
Xiao Qi smiled, and turned to look at Zheng Yitu, "Director Zheng, do you have any people you need to find? If you have any technology or company that needs to be acquired, write me a report. As long as it is not too complicated. At most Within three months, I'll do it all for you."
Zheng Yitu immediately swallowed his saliva.
Mom!
I have never seen such a bold boss in my life!
Look at the tone and demeanor of others, it's as simple as going to the canteen to get soy sauce!
And Xiao Qi is not bragging at all, Wall Street has said that Xiao Qi has a cash flow of more than 160 billion US dollars, and some of it is money!
Want to dig technical talents?
Technology... or company to acquire?
Of course there is!
Among the several electronic map companies in Huaguo, many elites are professionals that I admire. If I can recruit them to AutoNavi, maybe after a year, I will be able to complete the task of 50% of the market share.
There are also acquired technologies... well, there are a few good ones in the United States, XX company in Germany is even better, and by the way, there is also XX company in France...
Well!
Now I have money too!
Do you sell technology?
I don't sell the technology, I buy the company directly! Bring the pot together for you!
The ecstatic Zheng Yitu almost danced.
Fortunately, he also knew where he was now, so he quickly patted his face, suppressed his excitement and said, "Qi Shao, if you can give me such support, Lao Zheng, I will work for you for the rest of my life!!"
To be able to complete Asia's No. 1 hegemony in one's own hands, one's working career in this life is already complete! (to be continued ~^~)
PS: I saw HTC wanting to sell it here, and let out rumors, but no one cares about it. It's really self-inflicted, who told them not to pay attention to the mainland market? If we took the prestige of the big sales in Europe and the United States and went directly to the mainland to develop, I am afraid that Xiaomi would have nothing to do with it, at least Xiaomi would not develop so well.
