Chapter 355 Pingguo 5 is on sale, Maili X1 is shot lying down, Germination and Qiandu reach a deal! (twenty two)
"Mr. Zhang, hello!"

Olivia is not only proficient in English, German, French, but also fluent in Chinese.

This is also one of the reasons why she was selected by Zhang Shuo.

Although Zhang Shuo can communicate with foreign friends very fluently in English, if possible, he still hopes to communicate in Chinese.

Moreover.

Knowing Chinese will also be of great help to Olivia's work in Binhai City.

You can’t always bring a translator with you when you go out.

"Hello there!"

Zhang Shuo smiled and asked Olivia to sit down on the sofa, and said proactively, "Mr. Lu has already reported to me about your proposal to establish the budding board of directors, and I agree."

"That's great."

Olivia then explained: "But don't misunderstand, we propose to establish a board of directors, not to intervene in the budding daily business affairs, but to exercise the most basic supervisory powers according to business rules."

She didn't want Zhang Shuo to misunderstand.

Although she is an executive of the Dream Fund, Olivia is actually not very clear about the specific investment relationship between the Dream Fund and Germination, not even Howard.

I just know that for the Dream Fund, being able to pick the unicorn with the highest valuation in the world is definitely a big win, so why not maintain the relationship with Zhang Shuo?
After all.

Zhang Shuo still holds the controlling stake in Germination. If Zhang Shuo really wants to play tricks and kick Dream Fund out of the game, that is not impossible.

Therefore, Olivia, including Howard, couldn't hold airs in front of Zhang Shuo.

"I know."

Zhang Shuo nodded with a smile, "I hope that in terms of investment business, Dream Fund can carry out in-depth cooperation with Sprout. For example, this acquisition of Licheng Technology and Hitachi Storage."

"I understand that the purpose of meeting you this time is to discuss joint due diligence on Licheng Technology." Although Olivia released Zhang Shuo's pigeons on the weekend, once she entered the working state, she was still very refreshed.

Professionalism is really good.

"That's good."

Zhang Shuo appreciated the decisiveness of the officer. After a brief chat with Olivia, he introduced Lu Kai to her, and Lu Kai would be responsible for the one-on-one communication with Olivia.

.........

the next day.

Pingguo 5 was officially launched at Jingshi flagship store. Before dawn, there was a long queue outside the store, which attracted passers-by to watch, and quickly spread across the Internet.

have to say.

This is another place where Pingguo is clever, and it has done a beautiful marketing without spending a penny.

Even with the amazing performance of Maili X1, domestic people like and even worship Pingguo, thinking that using Pingguo mobile phones is high-end, which means they have face, and foreign mobile phones are good consumers.

There are still a lot of people, and there are a lot of them.

It was originally said that Pingguo was planned to be released in Jingshi on December 12th, but due to the birth of Maili X14, it was released in Jingshi a full month earlier.

This is a hard time for scalpers.

Taking advantage of the time difference between the release of Pingguo 5, these scalpers have hoarded a large amount of Pingguo 5 from overseas and Xiangjiang, and when they get it to the inland market, they can sell it at a price of six to seven thousand.

Earn a lot of money.

However, with the release of Pingguo 5 in the capital ahead of schedule, many scalpers were ruined at once. Some greedy scalpers were already so angry that they could not sell because they had too much stock.

Almost jumped off the building.

The most outrageous thing is that these scalpers yelled at Pingguo, but also at Maili and Zhang Shuo.

"It's all because of wheat grain X1, which made us lose a lot of money."

"That is, if there is no wheat grain X1, how can Pingguo attach so much importance to the Chinese market, what a bad thief!"

"Zhang Shuo is not a son of man!"

Another reason why the scalpers scold Zhang Shuo is that Maili X1 is the first to be released in the Chinese market, and they only favor Chinese consumers, making it impossible for them to profit from it.

Can you not scold?

Of course, netizens are not used to these ugly-looking scalpers, so they turned back on the spot.

"A bunch of rubbish, you should be compensated to death."

"A humble person is invincible."

"Damn the scalper, damn it, I just bought Pingguo 5 from the scalper for 5 last week, and this week Pingguo [-] will be on sale in the capital, I lost [-] to the labor, oh!!!"

"Haha, upstairs deserves it, isn't Wheat X1 fragrant?"

It's just unavoidable, because Pingguo 5 was launched in China ahead of schedule, it must have brought a lot of pressure to the popular Maili X1.

Some people don't believe it in their bones, saying that domestic mobile phones can do well.

.........

When Pingguo was enjoying great scenery, Maili Group did not do nothing.

This morning.

The third master personally led the team to Binhai City to discuss cooperation matters with Maili Group. The focus of the cooperation between the two parties is the frog browser that has already emerged.

Before the release of Maili X1, Qiandu had thought about buying the search box position of the frog browser.

It's just that Zhang Shuo didn't agree at that time, saying that he would talk about it after the Maili X1 was launched.

The result is.

As soon as the wheat grain X1 was released, it soared into the sky, and the sales volume has approached the tens of millions mark.

The price tag is naturally not what it used to be.

Fortunately, Qiandu is not a poor owner, and the two parties reached an agreement without much delay. According to the memorandum of cooperation, Qiandu will win the search box position of frog browser for the next year at a "friendship price" of 8.5 million.

Yes, that's right.

The Maili Group signed with Qiandu once a year, and the reason is very simple. Maili mobile phone releases at least one new model every year, and the number of devices in operation also doubles every year.

It doesn't make sense to sign for several years.

The conclusion of the transaction also officially opened the era of Maili's mobile phone service charges.

But don't underestimate the service charge.

Taking Pingguo as an example, the proportion of content services in revenue has been increasing year by year, and was once close to 20% of total revenue, exceeding the combined revenue of mac and ipad.

Basically a lucrative deal.

It is precisely because of the existence of content services that Pingguo's gross profit margin will continue to increase, exceeding 40% at one point, or even close to 50%, far exceeding Samsung and other competitors.

It can be said to be very exaggerated.

Maili mobile phone has been benchmarking against Pingguo since its birth. Although Maili X1 relies on external suppliers in terms of chips and operating systems, it will also become independent in the future.

Naturally, we must work hard on the content service.

Among other things, just the advertising revenue of Maili Mall, the income from mobile game channels, and the handling fee paid by Weixin, etc., will be a lot of money after the number of Maili mobile phone devices increases to a certain amount.

In the future, software services such as streaming media and news push may even be considered.

The contract is over.

Zhang Shuo invited the third master to sit in the office.

"Maili X1, it really surprised me." The third master showed the mobile phone he is using now.

It is wheat grain X1.

Of course, this may also be a deliberate arrangement by him in order to get closer to Zhang Shuo. After all, it is quite normal for a boss to own several mobile phones at the same time.

"It all depends on the background of the peers." Zhang Shuo is very modest.

"..."

The third master didn't know how to speak anymore, as if anything he said would offend others.

Only Zhang Shuo dared to speak so loudly.

Think about it, too. When I was still in the capital, San Ye, Zhang Shuo, and Rebs got together once. At that time, Zhang Shuo pointed out that Maili Mobile and Xiaomi would not compete on the same track.

It turned out to be the case.

Even Wheat X1 is even more amazing than San Ye imagined.

"Uh, Mr. Zhang, didn't you say before that Tiantian Toutiao under Qinghe Technology will choose to sell at the right time. How about it? Is it that time now?" The third master changed the subject.

This is also one of the main purposes of his visit to Binhai City this time.

Seeing the global smartphone sales continue to rise, and the wave of mobile Internet sweeping in with an unstoppable momentum, to be honest, the third master panicked.

Because this will shake Qiandu's basic disk.

In order to keep the traffic entrance on the mobile terminal, Qiandu has done a lot of things before, such as spending a lot of money to buy 71 Assistant from Mengya, or this time with the frog browser transaction.

But it is not enough to completely consolidate the flow advantage of Qiandu.

Especially the 71 assistants that Qiandu has placed high hopes on. With the launch of Maili Mall and Xiaomi Mall, the smart Qiandu has vaguely realized that the advantages of 71 Assistants are gradually being weakened.

It may even be quickly abandoned by the times.

This is very sad reminder!

After all, it has only been more than two years since Assistant 71 was born.

But that's the cruel side of the internet.

If it is a physical manufacturing industry, such as Pepsi, Nike, Wahaha, etc., it is likely that after launching a mature product and gaining market recognition, it can be sold for five, ten, or even longer.

There are even some people who "act as the porters of nature" firmly sit on the throne of the richest man.

But the Internet doesn't work.

This is an industry that is changing at any time. Even in the mobile Internet era, it can be subdivided into many small stages.

It may be successful in the previous stage, but it will fall in the next stage.

For example, the character jumping of the original time and space rose rapidly in the middle and late stages of the mobile Internet. Tengda obtained the ticket for the mobile Internet through Weixin, but missed the short video outlet.

Every subdivision stage may give birth to new unicorn enterprises.

corresponding.

Naturally, there will be enterprises of the older generation falling behind.

Qiandu is pretty good now, and companies like Xingsheng Network, Juren, and Fox Group have become more and more incompatible with the mobile Internet.

"Toutiao, we don't think about selling it yet." Zhang Shuo's answer was destined to disappoint the third master.

"Why?" The third master seemed very urgent, "Qiandu is definitely sincere."

Although in the matter of the 71 assistant transaction, looking back afterwards, especially after the birth of Maili X1, Qiandu seemed to have been tricked by Germination, but the third master didn't mention a word.

This is the case in the shopping malls. Once the transaction is completed, no one should blame anyone.

Not to mention that Qiandu couldn't produce any evidence to prove that Germina has the ability to "prophet the future" and can predict the big sale of Wheat X71 when Assistant 1 is sold.

Even if there is evidence, it can only be admitted obediently.

It can only show that Mengya's judgment on the general trend of mobile Internet development is more accurate than Qiandu's, and the future that can be predicted is also farther away.

It is not wrong for Qiandu to be cheated.

Taking a step back, Qiandu did not really suffer a loss in the matter of winning 71 assistants, except that it paid a high premium due to the sudden intervention of Ari and Tengda at the bidding stage.

At least the entrance traffic of 71 assistants is there.

If 71 Assistant is really abandoned by the times, it is because of Qiandu’s own poor operating level, just like Nomi.com, which was acquired later, has begun to show signs of decline in the food delivery war.

This is the deadliest.

In the current food delivery market, Qingcheng Group's Qingcheng Food Delivery, with the help of Weixin's strong traffic support, and the unique online + offline operation model, is naturally the best and the only one.

The original three-legged pattern of Nomi.com, Ari Dianping, and Dacong Dianping is quietly changing.

Nomi.com faintly began to fall behind.

"Of course I believe in Qiandu's sincerity, but from a budding perspective, Tiantian Toutiao is far from mature, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future, so I am not in a hurry to sell." Zhang Shuo is also telling the truth.

Germination is not short of money now.

Of course, Tiantian Toutiao will not be sold in a hurry.

"Ting!!!"

Facing Zhang Shuo's straightforwardness, the third master was completely speechless.
