Chapter 509 Troublemaker!
Compared to the old capitals.
What Zhang Sheng lacks most is time and foundation.
In other words, everyone understands that Zhang Sheng's current foundation is still not solid.
He can withstand the first wave of attacks, and he can also withstand the second wave of attacks...
But he can withstand the waves of attacks from all the domestic and foreign capitals, but he will also fall into a more intense battle.
The battle between capitals is not a matter of a few days or months, it is a year, two years, three to five years, or even ten years...
Zhang Sheng can't fight such a difficult battle, at least before he has an absolute advantage, he can't do it!
That's the behavior of a fool.
But...
Fortunately, Zhang Sheng has occupied a large area of market resources by taking the lead.
With such a large area of resources, Zhang Sheng has enough chips to stabilize the domestic capital giants first...
Not to mention how long it will be stabilized, as long as it can be stabilized for a few months, he can really sit on his butt!
…………………………
March 4.
[Groupon] The market value fell again.
From 17 billion US dollars on March 2, it fell to 16 billion.
The stock price also fell continuously, from the peak of 31.14 US dollars to 27.2 US dollars.
Before this, no one could have imagined that the former originator of group buying [Groupon] would be so cold in the United States, as if the capital before listing and the capital after listing were completely two different concepts!
"Although it had already achieved market leadership in many countries when it went public, and launched a number of peripheral businesses afterwards, Groupon has always had difficulty making a profit..."
"This year, in the first half of the year, in order to prepare for the IPO and make the data look better, [Groupon] has been expanding its international footprint in an unorderly and crazy manner. The rapid expansion has often led to the pursuit of the next market before a market has stabilized, blindly subsidizing and expanding savagely, and excessively showing its various data to capital, which has led to its capital chain becoming tight..."
"In addition, strategic shortsightedness is also one of the main reasons for [Groupon]'s failure. Although it has developed Getaways (hotel travel) and GrouponLive (ticketing) businesses in addition to the group buying business, none of them have developed. It is still doing data and reporting, and there is no synergy between businesses... Without business synergy, in terms of traffic, each has its own business. For war, it is easy to fall apart, just like what we say in China, we have everything, but nothing works... Subsidizing blindly can only retain customers, but it cannot take money out of customers' pockets. Part of the reason why it is difficult to make a profit actually comes from here! "
"Expansion leads to tight capital chain, and tight capital chain leads to the need to find capital to invest and continue to transfuse blood..."
"Capital is not stupid, they have long seen the disadvantages of [Groupon] in this market competition, and they have long realized that [Groupon] cannot become the second Google..."
"But they still support [Groupon]'s listing, this is to let more small capital who are unaware of the truth take over their [Groupon], and they immediately cash out and leave at the highest point after listing..."
"But no one thought that the capital ran too fast, causing [Groupon] to collapse all of a sudden..."
"..."
[Tengji Technology].
Zheng Huateng listened to his assistant Liu Ning carefully analyzing the changes in [Groupon]'s listing for a few days, and his words were inevitably a little sad.
The American Internet has an inherent reference advantage...
Many domestic Internet giants almost ask analysts to analyze the direction of the American Internet every day, and then use the direction there as a reference to learn from it.
The collapse of [Groupon]'s listing has actually always been within Zheng Huateng's expectations.
In January this year!
The increasingly crazy good news from the Americans and the increasing valuation of [Groupon] made Zheng Huateng keenly aware that this might be a "capital cake".
He asked Liu Ning to analyze the various trends of [Groupon] all the time, and he never let go of even the slightest clue.
In February of this year, he saw the madness of the Chinese market, and he was convinced that this was a "capital cake".
The more beautiful and exquisite the capital cake is, the more dangers it hides!
Then...
When everyone rushed into this market, Zheng Huateng made a decisive decision to make a profit and leave.
In March of this year...
Everything was as expected. Those who ran slowly were stuck in the quagmire and couldn't get out at all!
"In this capital game, Zhang Sheng and his companies' performance is textbook..."
"Perhaps, he knew early on that this single group purchase path was not feasible, and that the O2O model combining online and offline must be adopted. After clarifying this point, he first ignited the subsidy craze to the extreme, and then used the capital fight to suck blood with [Hive Extreme Delivery]... When everyone realized that something was wrong, he had already occupied a hilltop and completed the initial framework transformation!"
"He is the winner of this capital game!"
"..."
In the office.
When Liu Ning talked about Zhang Sheng, he admired him sincerely.
Zheng Huateng did not despise Zhang Sheng, but was thinking about something silently.
"Zhang Sheng, went to Hangzhou?"
"Yes, he went to Hangzhou on March 2. He had two chats with Ma Yunhua, one in Ma Yunhua's private club, and the other on a boat in West Lake, Zhang Xing's boat..."
Zheng Huateng's brows furrowed deeper after hearing the news.
Ma Yunhua has always been a headache for many years.
The two have been fighting on the Internet for many years, and have been calculated by each other from time to time, but no one has gotten the upper hand.
Everyone can foresee that the next war, on the surface, is that Li Zongyao and Sodu Technology are coming with [Lainiao Takeaway] and are about to start a [Takeaway War].
But in fact...
Zheng Huateng and Ma Yunhua both understand that the core of the [Takeaway War] is the payment war!
Whoever can really grasp the core weapon in the [Payment War] will win this war, and whoever can win the next payment war will dominate the next five or even ten years. The loser can only be forced to shrink...
So, these days, Zheng Huateng not only sent people to discuss cooperation with Zhang Sheng's "game" industry, but also personally called Zhang Sheng several times!
If Zhang Sheng brings such a group of resources and reaches a strategic cooperation agreement with Ma Yunhua, or even sells his industry to Ma Yunhua, then [Tengji Technology] will be in trouble!
He can only passively choose [Fengshou Group Buying] headed by Li Zongyao and with Soudu shares...
However, [Lainiao Takeaway] and [Fengshou Group Buying] are still in the reorganization and running-in stage. Even if it is the fastest, it will take until mid-March...
Early March to mid-March!
Don't underestimate the short ten days. If you are slow in one step, you will be slow in every step...
Zhang Sheng can go from nothing to where he is today. For a person like him, ten days have already allowed him to take the lead and make the other party spend money but still be exhausted.
[Tengji Technology] relies on the strong traffic outlet of Qdog to attract traffic for other companies, but after so long, their [online shopping mall] has never been established...
If this step is slow again...
It will be bad!
At this moment!
Even Zheng Huateng was a little anxious.
The group buying war has just ended, and the new takeaway war has just begun with the payment war. Is it possible that he will fail at this critical moment?
"Zhang Sheng, you still have to fight for it. If you use him well, he will be a good helper!"
"Try not to let him become an opponent before the situation is clear!"
In the office.
The more Zheng Huateng deduced, the clearer his mind became, and the clearer the future path became, and he finally looked out the window.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"Come in!"
"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zhang, here..."
"Let him in!"
When Zheng Huateng heard the voice, he immediately cheered up!
Zhang Sheng could come to see him...
That at least meant that he had not sold his own things, and was not even deeply bound to Ma Yunhua.
………………………………
"Mr. Zheng!"
"Mr. Zhang, sit down..."
Ma Yunhua was more outgoing, calling Zhang brother all the time, and pulled Zhang Sheng to get along.
But Zheng Huateng looked more shy. When he saw Zhang Sheng, he just smiled and pointed to the position opposite the desk.
He was not enthusiastic, but he didn't feel much alienation.
After Zhang Sheng sat down, Zheng Huateng handed him a cigarette.
"Mr. Zheng, I don't smoke..."
"This kind of cigarette is fine, smoke one..."
"Okay!"
Zhang Sheng politely refused at first, but after seeing Zheng Huateng's smile, he finally took the cigarette and smoked it.
"Have you been to Lao Ma?"
"Yes, we have discussed cooperation, which is considered preliminary cooperation..."
"What is the cooperation project?"
"Mr. Zheng, can you ask about such business secrets?" Zhang Sheng laughed and shook his head.
"Haha, there is no need to hide it. I know Lao Ma well. He is stingy and specializes in cheating women's money... How much help can such a person give you?"
Zheng Huateng exhaled a cigarette, laughed, and blackened Lao Ma with all his strength.
"Haha..." Zhang Sheng just laughed, but didn't say anything, neither denying nor agreeing.
But in his heart, he thought, don't you also specialize in cheating elementary school students' money?
You two are the same, neither of you is a good bird.
"Lao Ma said that everything is based on his [Zhi Li Bao] in the [Jia Hu Technology] system, so that all your industries can become drainage tools, right?" Zheng Huateng laughed, looking at Zhang Sheng's fake smile, and asked tentatively.
"Well, but not all..."
"Mr. Zhang, we fought once in [Temple Run] and [National Parkour]. Although it was the first time we met officially, we still knew each other well. Mr. Zhang, I admire your courage and ability. At the same time, I am also a person who is eager to seek talents. I am very straightforward. You should abandon Lao Ma and cooperate with me! Look at the companies acquired by Lao Ma. They were all sucked dry and none of them survived. Our companies are all listed..."
"..."
Zhang Sheng listened to Zheng Huateng's words seriously.
Then, he chatted with Zheng Huateng.
Zheng Huateng was very frank. Although he looked gentle, he was slightly bold when he spoke.
If it really depends on attitude to cooperate, Zhang Sheng would probably choose Zheng Huateng.
However, Zhang Sheng knew very well that under the expressions of joy, anger, sorrow and fear, every word and punctuation mark of these people could not be believed.
The two of them smoked and chatted, and when they chatted until noon...
Zhang Sheng suddenly thought of something: "Mr. Zheng, are you going to create another chat software? It's similar to Q Gou, but simpler than Q Gou?"
Zheng Huateng was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and laughed: "Where did you get the news..."
"I heard it from Mr. Ma!"
"..."
Zheng Huateng's eyes briefly flashed with a sinister look, but then disappeared, with a smile on his face: "There is such a project team, but it was almost July this year that the so-called Wechat was actually made. It was an attempt, but it was not the leading one. "
"oh!"
"Why ask this question?"
"No, I was just asking casually. Mr. Ma also told me a lot of things. I don't know whether they are true or false, so I came to ask..." Zhang Sheng smiled and looked naive.
Zheng Huateng was also laughing, but the cruelty in his heart became stronger and stronger.
He is convinced that the "WeChat" project is his key project, which means that the future upgrading and strengthening of the payment industry will be absolutely secret!
If Ma Yunhua can talk to Zhang Sheng so confidently, then there must be a traitor inside!
A lot of things came to mind in his mind, but he still had a calm and smile on his face: "If you cooperate with us [Tengji], we will bring you unexpected benefits! This kind of benefit is definitely more than Ma Yunhua's!"
"What's the benefit?"
"Funds and traffic! We have them all! For your products, whether it is [Jitu Live Broadcast], [Qiansheng Online Mall], or [Honeycomb Ji Send], our Qdog will add an icon for you, click this Icons can automatically enter your industry... This is our innate advantage. Of course, in addition, we can also provide you with financial support. I will spare no effort to support you in the next takeout war! "
After Zhang Sheng listened to Zheng Huateng talking about various benefits, he was not stunned by the benefits.
Instead, he became calmer and calmer.
He looked at Zheng Huateng and put out his cigarette butt: "Mr. Zheng, what do you want?"
"I want to buy your shares in [Qiansheng Online Mall], [Jitu Live Broadcast], [Honeycomb Jisong] and other industries. Of course, the shares are not large, just 10% of the shares!"
"How much can you offer?"
"My highest sincerity price is two billion! Of course, it is not two billion in cash, but a series of investment agreements..."
"..."
Zhang Sheng was silent for a long time.
Finally he looked at Zheng Huateng: "I won't resist your capital injection, but I can't take out the shares and give them to you all at once, otherwise, none of my brothers will agree!"
"Then how do you want to cooperate?"
"Mr. Zhang Xing is waiting outside the door. Although the current market value of his [Group Buying] is not as strong as [Fengyu Mall] and [Fengsheng Group Buying], it is still worth three billion. I hope to use [Group Buying] ], let’s try the first wave of water. If this wave of water works, I will follow up and cooperate in depth!”
"You're making a lot of noise!" Zheng Huateng's face darkened.
"[Group buying] is undergoing transformation now, but Mr. Zheng, don't underestimate [group buying]. Mr. Zheng, let me tell you directly. There are many takeaways under my system. After all, when I was at [Honeycomb Ji Delivery] , has encouraged a large number of food delivery entrepreneurs to enter the market in China, and many food delivery entrepreneurs are still active in the market. At present, [Group Buying] has been well integrated with [Jimi Food Delivery]..." Zhang Sheng said , while handing a piece of information to Zheng Huateng.
Zheng Huateng asked the assistant next to him to watch.
After about ten minutes, when the assistant nodded, Zheng Huateng's frown finally relaxed slightly: "Have you told Lao Ma about this?"
"As I said, Lao Ma has already signed the contract of intent..."
"..."
Zheng Huateng stopped saying anything and stared at Zhang Sheng.
He seemed to want to see through Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng also faced Zheng Huateng's expression without any sense of guilt, just like a straight green pine standing under the sun.
Zheng Huateng vaguely felt that Zhang Sheng was talking nonsense, but looking at Zhang Sheng's expression, it didn't mean that...
After a long time, Zheng Huateng finally looked back.
After pondering for a while, he said: "We can use [group buying] as a pilot, but other cooperation projects must be officially implemented after we finish chatting today!"
"Can!"
"You pushed for Lao Ma's cooperation!"
"I can't push it away. I promised [Zhilibao]!"
"Have you made [Zhilibao] the main platform for your companies?" Zheng Huateng stared at Zhang Sheng.
"No, [Zhilibao] is just one of my payment tools. As for how Lao Ma operates it, it has nothing to do with me... In fact, in addition to [Zhilibao], I also have [Hua Xia Bank] Payment contract, [Hua Xia Bank] is also our payment tool..."
"My Q dog will take first place!"
"Can!"
"My Q-dog payment has the highest priority..."
"sure, no problem!"
"[Group Buying] is the group buying software under your system, but you didn't cooperate with Lao Ma, right?"
"No!"
“Then [Group Buying] I want it!”
"Then I want to tell Mr. Zhang that [group buying] is not my business alone..."
"He's outside?"
"Yes, he's sitting on the bench outside."
"Okay, let him in..."
"Okay!"
"..."
…………………………
March 4.
It was late at night.
Hangzhou Lao Ma, who was in contact with Li Zongyao of [Hongtian Capital] and Li Hong of [Soudu], heard a piece of news.
After hearing the news, his face became even gloomier!
Zheng Huateng of [Tengji Technology] has officially invested in [Tuan Tuan Gou] and become the second largest shareholder of [Tuan Tuan Gou]. At the same time, he also invested in [Jimi Waimai] and became the second largest shareholder of [Jimi Waimai]. He also announced that he had reached a cooperative relationship with Zhang Sheng's [NC Entertainment]. Zhang Sheng's products, including [Temple Escape], [Jitu Live] and other software and websites support Qdog login...
"Mr. Ma, Zhang Sheng has no sincerity to cooperate with you. Although he came to you first, went boating with you on the West Lake, chatted with you in your club, and flirted with you, he was actually showing it to Zheng Huateng!"
"..."
"I know Zhang Sheng very well. Zhang Sheng is a troublemaker. Who knows how he will sow discord behind Zheng Huateng!"
"..."
When Li Zongyao saw the news, he was not shocked, but smiled coldly!
Ma Yunhua didn't say a word from beginning to end!
I just felt inexplicably angry and wanted to twist Zhang Sheng's head off.
But after seeing Li Zongyao's expression, he calmed down again.
