Chapter 955 The Era of Merger

Dead enemies are relative, interests are absolute.

When a project is too expensive and the opponent is extremely difficult to deal with, no matter how serious the enemy is, they will choose to merge.This is the case for Youku and Tudou, the same is true for 58.com and Ganji.com, and the same is true for Ctrip and Qunar.

In the history of the domestic Internet, there have been several joint CEO practices, but none of them started well and ended well.

The original time and space was the merger of Meituan and Dianping. Wang Xing also used the shareholders' meeting to reorganize the company structure and sideline Dianping, which made Zhang Tao sadly out.

Because capital chose Wang Xing.

Now, Lei Jun just repeated the incident, and then Wang Xing became the eliminated player.

Judging from his shareholding, he can cash out at least US$10 billion+, and the capital is willing to provide it. This US$10 billion can be exchanged for Meituan, which can end the group buying war. It is so worth it.

In other words, if Wang Xing was not so ambitious and was willing to be Lei Jun's deputy, he would definitely be reused, but it is a pity that there is no if.

Shortly after the shareholders' meeting, Lei Jun officially issued an announcement announcing that the structural adjustment was completed. Wang Xing would no longer serve as co-CEO and would only be named chairman...

Everyone knows that Yuetuan is the final winner.

Dianping responded very quickly. They only had 20% of the group buying share and had no intention of fighting anymore. They directly changed direction and went all-out on Ele.me.

At this point, the 99 series already has two major e-commerce trump cards, the mall and Yuetuan.

…………

evening.

Yao Yuan and Yinyin got off the car at Gulou East Street.

To the south of the street is the famous Nanluogu Alley, and to the north are Beiluogu Alley, Dajingchang Alley, Xiaojingchang Alley, etc.

"Is it here?"

"right!"

"Go in and have a look!"

The two wandered around for a while and walked into Xiaojingchang Alley. It is said that this area was originally a place where the Buddhist scriptures of the big and small Buddhist temples were posted, so it got its name.

When you enter, you feel a sense of a mixture of simplicity and modernity. The alley is 6 meters wide, but it is quite crowded when walking.

The two sides are filled with electric vehicles, bicycles, water tanks and other sundries, intertwined trees and telephone poles, black tiles and gray walls, and exposed air-conditioning units. Most of the yards have their doors open, not caring about exposing the illegal construction inside. room and cramped space.

These are large courtyards, and they are public housing, which were allocated to individuals by units in those days.

Until later generations, there were still many such courtyards in the Second Ring Road of Beijing, with old and small, public toilets, and people using the urinal at night. Even Faye Wong used it...

So distinguishing public houses and private houses is very simple, just look at the door, whether it is open or closed.

Yao Yuan walked for a while and stopped at the door of a courtyard. The vermilion door was closed tightly, without a plaque, and there was a camera and doorbell. He pressed a few times, and after a while a waiter came to open the door.

"Boss Yao!"

"Well, is everyone here?"

"Not yet, Mr. Zhou hasn't arrived yet!"

The two of them went in and entered the third courtyard, which was finely decorated and hung with red lanterns. The layout and green plants revealed a traditional kitsch, which was in line with Yu Jiajia's style.

"Ha, let's see how it looks like here?"

Yu Jiajia came out from the main room. Lei Jun, Liu Qiangdong, Bai Yongxiang, Cheng Wei, and Chen Shengqiang (financial director) were all there.

"It's okay, the location is too far away from the Forbidden City."

"I would rather live in the Forbidden City. I'm afraid that the palace ladies will cause trouble in the middle of the night."

"How much did you spend in total?"

"More than 2 million. I used to run a private kitchen, but the boss caught me and asked me to pick it up. Otherwise, where can I find such a big yard these days?"

Yu Jiajia was very satisfied and pulled Yinyin and said: "This will be our base from now on. If you want to relax, come here. To the north is the dormitory of the Chinese Opera, full of good and energetic girls."

"A good girl can come here? You can keep it for yourself!"

Yinyin pulled away her hand in disgust and said, "I just don't understand, what's the point of living in a courtyard? Is it good to live in a villa?"

"It's nothing but pretentious, but it suits my taste..."

Yu Jiajia didn't know why she was blushing. While she was talking, Zhou Hongyi also arrived, and everyone went into the room to have a dinner together.She is the owner but Yao Yuan takes the main seat. This house is actually a private club where she can buy food, drinks and stay overnight. She uses it to entertain people.

Yao Yuan and Yinyin also have it.

Even everyone here has one.

The dining room was decorated in an antique style, with a beautiful waiter wearing a cheongsam, twisting her waist and walking gracefully to pour tea and serve the food. Yao Yuan tapped the cup with his chopsticks, and everyone was quiet.

He said: "Today we gather together, one is to buy a real estate for Mr. Yu, of course, this is secondary. The other is to celebrate Mr. Lei, Yue Tuan wins, and he is a pole of the Internet, which is the main thing.

In addition, it is rare for Lao Bai to be in the capital. Are you looking at the Science and Technology Park in Changping? "

“Ground has been broken!”

Bai Yongxiang smiled and nodded.

"Cheng Wei is here too. It's not easy to work alone."

"It doesn't matter what happens, it's all exercise!"

Cheng Wei said hurriedly.

Yao Yuan went around and greeted everyone before having a drink.

Wu Jun, Xu Meng, Gu Jiaming and others are not qualified to come today. They are all the top track leaders of the 99 series.

He used to hate the banquet culture, thinking that it was the superiors dictating to the inferiors, but when he sat in this position, he had to say that it was really satisfying.

Lei Jun is another focus.

Everyone was very interested in the story of him killing Wang Xing with a sharp knife, and asked me questions one after another.

"What is Mr. Lei going to do next?"

"We will remove the clutter and keep the essence and continue to adjust. We have received Meituan's resources and it will take some time to digest them. Once the digestion is completed, it is time to make the next step."

"what's the plan?"

“Launch Pinduoduo!”

"Pinduoduo?"

Everyone who didn't know the inside story looked at each other. Lei Jun looked at Yao Yuan. Yao Yuan motioned for him to come, and he motioned for you to come. Finally, Yao Yuan spoke and explained Pinduoduo's model.

“I think there must be a market for this!”

"I also think that people now think that Chinese people are rich, but in fact they are far from that. Focusing on low-income groups, wooing small and medium-sized manufacturers, it can also crack down on Taobao."

"If you want to promote it, you're going to burn money again."

"Yeah, it's more expensive than group buying!"

Lei Jun was delighted and looking forward to it, saying: "But this model is broader than the group buying market. Investors will not fail to see its potential. More importantly, we have no rivals."

"Hey, I really have no rivals. There is no one on the market that does this."

"Does anyone still remember the competition between the mall and Joyo more than ten years ago?"

Yao Yuan said with a smile: "At that time, I held a small event called "Chopping a knife to get free products. I plan to use this promotion to give Pinduoduo a good start."

"Don't mention it, don't mention it!"

Lei Jun grimaced and said, "I still remember how badly you made me miserable with this activity."

"Ha, I also remember that there was Dangdang.com at that time, and the three companies were fighting."

Liu Qiangdong said.

"Dangdang, that can't happen now!"

"Qingzi didn't know what she was doing in one day, and she became an Internet celebrity. I didn't even notice."

There was a lot of chatter, and a group of big shots were chatting and laughing.

Cheng Wei listened the most attentively and asked Lei Jun the most. Finally, he said: "Mr. Yao, I also want to merge with Kuaidi. What do you think?"
