Reborn Millennial Gamer

"In Game 5 of the Finals, the Warriors narrowly defeated the Heat by a slim margin of 5 points in an away game, locking the score at 3-2 and winning this fierce and anxious battle at Tianwang Mountain..."

On the TV screen, the faces of Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi flashed by. Lu Fei absently held the remote control, pressed mute, and said to the phone: "Old Xu, how much do you want to say?"

"This year's June 1137th, Feigou Jingdong's total sales were 13 billion, with a growth rate of about 200%. The only shortcoming was Meituan, which was overtaken by Ali and became the third largest. Moreover, this time the sales volume was not even high. Like Ahri, which exceeded the billion mark."

There was a hint of depression in Xu Lei's tone.

"It's not satisfactory. This is also the result we expected." Lu Fei, instead of being dissatisfied, comforted him.

"Yes, we approved Wang Xing's plan and agreed that Meituan would give up physical group buying and transform to specialize in service group buying. It would insist on low gross profit like Wal-Mart. 95% of the platform's business is services and become the best e-commerce platform in China's service industry. .”

Xu Lei smacked his lips, "But I still feel it's a pity that I gave up the second place to Ahri for nothing. Is it really..."

“Let’s think of it as the price to pay for the overlap and conflict with Feigou’s business. Otherwise, the upper limit of Meituan’s life will be the same as Ali’s. It will always be the second child in e-commerce and will not be able to live in the same way as it is now. Be the boss in the entertainment services track.”

Lu Fei smiled and said: "I would rather be the head of a phoenix than the tail of a dragon."

"Wang Xing launched a 'T-shaped strategy', horizontally for group purchases, and vertically for vertical businesses such as movies, takeaways, and hotels. He said that he wanted to make these all independent brands. For the ticketing business, he created a 'Maoyan Movie'." Xu Lei said emphatically.

"He was right about this."

Lu Fei agreed: "Penguin is also working on a similar independent ticketing system now. Although Meituan is already doing it, I think Feigou cannot be left behind. Either directly invest in Maoyan, or simply create an independent brand by itself, such as 'Ticket Buying'" ticket'."

"Then it's most cost-effective to invest in Maoyan. It will save Feigou and Meituan from having to fight against their own people in the future."

Xu Lei pondered for a long time, "And Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen came well prepared. All vertical businesses such as hotels, takeaways, catering, ticketing, and group buying have their own business groups, independent supply chain systems, sales teams, and even There is also a local promotion team. It is no longer like before, all businesses share a local promotion team. We also plan to invest 10 billion in the next three years to cover 100 cities..."

"You remember to remind Wang Xing that when cooperating with the local takeout delivery team, remember to pay attention to the basic guarantees for full-time takeaways, and you must pay no less." Lu Fei said seriously.

Xu Lei hummed, "Now the king's star is so swollen that he is looking at Shu, and he is also eyeing the taxi-hailing software."

"Let Meituan honestly focus its energy and financial resources on daily life services and stop messing with taxi-hailing apps. The water in it is very deep. Haha, he can't control it."

Lu Fei picked up the washed snake fruit and took a bite.

"Don't worry, I gave this kid a good scolding."

Xu Lei said: "The taxi-hailing software market is in chaos right now. Yaoyao rejected Ahri's investment and asked Sequoia to invest an additional US$1500 million. Baidu couldn't stand it anymore and put heavy pressure on Baimi, as well as Hangcheng. Together, Lu Chuanwei encountered trouble while conquering the game and met Little Hornet, founded by Tudou’s former CFO. Counting Didi and others, it was enough to form two tables of mahjong.”

"What about China Car Rental Company? Still unwilling to cooperate with Shunfeng?"

Lu Fei frowned.

The Shenzhou Group is the financial backer of Luckin, who cut leeks from American capital and hired China Volkswagen to buy coffee for free. Its predecessor was an offline third-party car rental agency. Since the beginning of the year, Shunfeng has been striving to cooperate with Shenzhou to develop a special car delivery service. Business car service.

"I think 80% of China is also interested in the big cake of taxi-hailing software, which may cause us some trouble in the future."

Xu Lei's unhappiness almost spilled over the phone.

"These little troubles are nothing to worry about. You just said that Yaoyao rejected Ahli's investment. It seems that Cai Chongxin and Sun Tongyu also want a piece of the cake. Who do you think they will choose to invest in?"

Lu Fei's eyes rolled wildly.

"There is no accurate information yet, but now that taxi-hailing software is on the market, which one is not famous and has its owner? But Ahli can vote if she wants. Look at Yaoyao and refuse it."

There was a hint of disdain in Xu Lei's words.

"Is there a possibility that Ahri will invest in Didi?"

Lu Fei shook his crossed legs.

"Didi! Didi?"

Xu Lei was surprised at first and was about to retort, but he hesitated, "It's difficult, it's difficult. Regarding the current relationship between Sun Tongyu, Cai Chongxin and Lu Yun, as well as the grievances and grievances between Softbank, Yahoo and Lu Yun, Ah Li is not too May be willing to invest in Didi.”

"Nothing is impossible. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. As long as the interests are big enough, people like Lu Yun and Cai Chongxin don't care how much hatred they have."

Lu Fei said seriously: "Especially Lu Yun. I know this person very well. His legs and feet are very nimble. He can kneel down when asked."

…………

Hangzhou, Ali Baba headquarters.

The employees who were busy dealing with the follow-up work of "June 19" suddenly stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes towards the uninvited guests who appeared in the office area.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Lu?"

"Shhh, keep your voice down, don't let Mr. Cai and Mr. Sun hear you and treat you as one of Mr. Lu's people."

"That's right, there is no Mr. Lu anymore, that is already a thing of the past..."

Whether they were new employees or old employees, they all secretly looked at Lu Yun walking in the aisle, and saw that his face had become thinner, his appearance was haggard, his hair was black and white, and he was no longer as high-spirited as when he led Ali to the market. The vicissitudes of life were written all over his face.

Alas, one emperor and one courtier!

Looking at his old subordinates who were trying to avoid him, Lu Yun revisited his old place, leaving the tea like this, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart.

When you look up, the banner hanging high clearly says:

"Congratulations to Tmall Taoduoduo for its record-breaking sales of 200 billion on June , regaining the second place in China's e-commerce."

Deep in my heart, there was even more bitterness welling up.

Every step towards the chairman's office was extremely difficult and heavy, and I had the urge to turn around and leave.

"Dong dong dong."

After a knock on the door, the response was a gentle "come in".

"Hey, it's really Mr. Lu!"

"At first I thought Mr. Cai said you were coming to the company today. I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect you to actually come."

When Sun Tongyu saw Lu Yun's embarrassed appearance, he felt a sense of relief and almost blurted out:

We haven't seen each other for a few days, why are you so angry?

But Cai Chongxin glared at him calmly, and had to swallow it back in his stomach. Then, Cai Chongxin cast his eyes on Lu Yun, with a look of sympathy mixed with a hint of guilt.

Even though he backstabbed Lu Yun on the board of directors, he did it entirely for the benefit of everyone at Ahri and never thought of severing ties with Lu Yun. He never expected that he would become like this.

He spoke politely and carefully, carefully considering every word, for fear of hurting his fragile self-esteem.

"I wonder if Mr. Lu is here to reminisce about old friendship today, or does he have any other instructions?"

Sun Tongyu didn't dare to confront him head-on. After all, Lu Yun had always been the founder and shareholder of Ali Baba, so he said something strange.

"I'm here today to cooperate with Ahri. It can be said that you are helping me and I am helping you."

Lu Yun looked straight at Cai Chongxin without looking at him.

"Oh, Mr. Lu, help us?"

Sun Tongyu sneered: "Why does this sound so strange? I really can't think of anything that Ali needs Mr. Lu's help with now. Everything is on track. This year's 619 also regained the long-lost market share of Huaxia e-commerce." .”

"Pfft, haha, haha!"

Lu Yun laughed louder and louder, more wildly.

Sun Tongyu and Cai Chongxin looked at each other, looking at him smiling without giving them any face, one had a dark face and the other frowned.

Sun Tongyu, who looked even more ugly, curled his lips: "Did I say something wrong that made Lu always find it funny?" "No, you don't really think that Ahli can return to second place in this year's June 19th. Own?"

Lu Yun had a vague smile on his lips.

"Haha, isn't it?"

Sun Tongyu crossed her arms, "Does Mr. Lu want to deny the hard work and contribution of all Ahli employees over the past six months?"

"No, of course not."

Lu Yun waved his hands repeatedly, "It's just that in addition to the struggle of the company, we also consider the process of history. Don't you see it?" He said in a serious tone, "Not at all!"

"Tell me slowly, what did you see?"

Cai Chongxin poured him a cup of tea.

"The reason why Meituan lost to you was not that they were inferior in skills and that's why they lost their position to Ahri. They were very smart. They took the initiative to strategically shrink and transform their business, so they gave up the second position to you." Lu. Yun took a sip of tea and said, "You haven't noticed that Meituan no longer regards group buying e-commerce as its main business. Instead, it has catering, takeout, hotels, and movies. It has flourished in many areas, and has developed from group buying e-commerce into a lifestyle and entertainment service platform. "

Sun Tongyu's expression changed drastically, not because what Lu Yun said was unpleasant, but because what he said was so reasonable that he couldn't refute it for a while.

"hiss……"

Cai Chongxin also darkened his face. He could make fun of Lu Yun's current situation, but he could not make fun of his vision and wisdom.

Following his train of thought, I thought about it carefully and realized that it was exactly what he said.

Meituan is undergoing strategic transformation and changing tracks!

Suddenly, his expression became friendly:

"Jack, what is the cooperation you just talked about?"

"Meituan is doing this, do you just watch it and think that being the second child is enough?" Lu Yun suppressed the thought of ridicule, "Koubei.com! Did you forget that Koubei.com is still in operation!"

"Word of mouth network?!"

Sun Tongyu and Cai Chongxin looked at each other.

"Yes, I supported Koubei.com in the first place to deal with Meituan. Rather than letting you be so marginalized and continue to be wasted, you might as well leave this piece to me."

Lu Yun rolled his eyes angrily.

"Do you want the management rights of Koubei.com?"

Sun Tongyu smiled coldly, and the abacus hit me in the face. He also wanted Koubei.com to provide a payment interface for Yipay.

"That's right, what's the problem? I'm still a shareholder of Ali, Yipay also owns Ali, and even SoftBank and Yahoo's listed stock income rights. Koubei.com is finished in your hands. You might as well leave it to me, and the waste will be replaced. Using it is good for you, me and everyone, don’t you think?”

Lu Yun looked left and right.

"I don't see how beneficial this is?"

Cai Chongxin was still thinking, but Sun Tongyu didn't even think about it.

"Well, let's make a deal."

Lu Yun said without being humble or arrogant: "I know you have always wanted to enter the taxi-hailing software market, but the investment was rejected not long ago by Shake. They would rather sign a gambling agreement with Sequoia than accept investment from Ali. What are your differences now? A choice?”

"We're looking for, like, bumblebees."

Cai Chongxin narrowed his eyes.

"Bumblebee, are you sure?"

Lu Yun said quietly: "Actually, who is the most suitable investment company on the market now, which one is more suitable than Didi! Didi has data, strength and capital, don't you think it is worth investing in Ahri!"

"But I heard that Didi annoyed his colleagues a while ago, especially Shunfeng, and was taught a lesson by Mr. Lu. Is there such a thing?" Sun Tongyu exposed it mercilessly.

"That was just a lesson Didi received for not obeying the rules for a while. Now it has returned to normal and everything is as before."

There was no trace of embarrassment on Lu Yun's face.

"But you guys were manipulated so easily. Do you think Didi like this can handle Shunfeng?" Sun Tongyu asked doubtfully.

"Can Ahri be able to deal with Feigou now?"

Lu Yun shot back without thinking.

"you!"

Sun Tongyu was speechless.

Ahri's current level is not worthy of being a competitor to Feigou. They have taken Jingdong, a B2C brand, to an international level and are competing with Amazon in Europe.

There are all kinds of heavy-asset logistics at shipping terminals, and there is an eye-catching relationship with a big player in the Middle East. Cross-border e-commerce business has spread from Dubai to other countries in the United Arab Emirates.

"Don't be arrogant, it's more important to get on with business."

Cai Chongxin was busy trying to smooth things over.

“It’s not just Didi that can’t deal with Shunfeng. Could it be that if it can’t deal with Shunfeng, then Didi can’t deal with other taxi-hailing apps?”

Lu Yun snorted coldly.

"Jack, what are your terms of the deal? Just the management rights of Koubei.com?"

Cai Chongxin understood the implication: Didi can at least be the second largest player in the taxi-hailing field, and its potential for making money is still unlimited.

"I want the management rights of 51 Live and Ali's independent director seat." Lu Yun said as if he expected it.

"impossible!"

Sun Tongyu blurted out.

Giving independent directors is tantamount to letting Lu Yun return to Ali.

"Jack, this is indeed very difficult. You know, although we have some small misunderstandings, after all, we are comrades and friends for many years. Naturally, you are welcome to return to the Ahri family, but the same cannot be said for Yahoo and Softbank. What you do They haven't forgiven you for those things." Cai Chongxin looked embarrassed.

"You have agreed. All that remains is to get the consent of one of Yahoo or SoftBank."

Lu Yun said disapprovingly: "As for Son, I will give him an acceptable condition just like now."

"This……"

Cai Chongxin's heart sank. He was not only coveting Didi's investment, but also full of fear and vigilance about Lu Yun's return.

"Will Son agree?"

Sun Tongyu suddenly felt nervous.

"That's between him and me."

Lu Yun looked down at his knees.

Neon's traditional performing arts can't be solved without kneeling down and saying "red bean paste Sini Masai"!

A man has gold under his knees, but a man can bend and stretch.

Isn’t this the best time to cash out?

Blind date, emm, it’s hard to describe in a word...

It's too difficult for me. I can't do this question...
