Chapter 796 Southeast Asia, the war begins

If Hawley did not choose to cooperate with Nvidia on automotive chips, Huang Renxun would feel very regretful.

Nvidia will lose a Chinese auto giant customer.

It may even become a global new energy vehicle giant that can rival Tesla in the future.

The value of this list is self-evident.

In addition to regret, there is also worry.

He watched the conversation between Hawley and Musk in Silicon Valley, in which Hawley mentioned the localization of GPUs.

Once Chinese companies complete the localization of GPUs, it means that Nvidia's GPUs will lose their price competitiveness.

Not just in China and Asian markets.

Based on past experience, after Chinese companies break through technological problems, they will drive prices to the lowest and quickly expand to the global market.

Domestic GPUs will not be able to catch up with Nvidia's current most powerful GPUs, and will also pose a huge threat to Nvidia.

Not all industries require GPUs with super computing power.

Huang Renxun had a vague feeling that Holly was planning something big.

Otherwise he would not express his views without humility in world-class forums and media.

After taking Holly to visit NVIDIA's factory, we treated Holly to a meal.

Host etiquette should be done well.

When sending Holly off, he was also mentally prepared to meet this powerful opponent.

In the evening, Holly returned to Los Angeles from San Jose. When he got home, he received a call from Fu Qiang, CEO of Yi'an Automobile. Fu Qiang informed that today Yu Chengdong brought the Huawei terminal team to Yi'an for exchanges and studies.

Among them is the supply of automotive chips.

Huawei is striving to cooperate with Yi An.

Fu Qiang also conveyed the opinions of engineers. As far as China's urban roads are concerned, Huawei's on-board chip performance and training mode are more adaptable and have matured.

Holly said: "When I return to China, I will talk to Yu Chengdong in person."

Fu Qiang: "Okay, Mr. Huo, I'm still communicating with NVIDIA."

……

After two days of rest in Los Angeles and Zuo Yingying's body fully recovered, Holly left Los Angeles and flew directly to Singapore.

On the night he landed in Singapore, Zhang Lei from Hillhouse Capital organized a dinner party.

Called all Grab’s second-class shareholders.

Holly came to the dinner on time.

Entering the box, several founders of investment companies stood up to greet him warmly.

"Mr. Huo is so famous. You are now the representative of Chinese entrepreneurs. Let me learn from you."

"I watched your conversation with Musk. You moved back 10% of China's technology."

"After many years, a technology giant finally emerged in China."

"Mr. Huo, I've been waiting for a long time. Please take a seat."

Holly shook hands one by one and took a seat.

The total Grab shares held by these people at the dinner table today reached 15%.

Together with Huo Lishunwei Capital's shareholding, it can reach about 20%.

In the future, we will increase our holdings of grab shares from the stock market.

Even if we acquire all the shares of everyone at the dinner table today, we still cannot achieve absolute control of Grab, not to mention that Chen Bingyao and his wife still hold more than 60% of the voting rights.

Therefore, if you want to acquire Grab, you still need the approval of the two major shareholders, SoftBank and Toyota.

As for the other two major shareholders, Uber and Didi, they will have to sell or not sell when the time comes.

Zhang Lei said bluntly: "SoftBank has seen the war that Mr. Huo has ignited in the North American market. Son has been thinking about the European and American markets for a long time. As long as Grab suffers losses in the Malaysian and Indonesian markets, Son will nod.

As for Toyota..."

Holly said: "Yisu needs to solve the transportation capacity problem to enter Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, and I am ready to cooperate with Toyota.

As a result, Toyota will weigh the pros and cons when the ride-hailing war in Southeast Asia begins. "

"Mr. Huo has already made a plan. We will listen to your arrangements."

Several managers at the table expressed their opinions.

The second type of shareholders has little say in the company's operation and management. What they pursue is the maximum return on investment.

Now that Yisu is at its peak, there is an opportunity to invest in Yisu to obtain a high rate of return. How could they miss it?

Once there is any disturbance, they must be the fastest.

Zhang Lei asked Holly: "When are you going to take action?"

Holly said: "I have asked CEO Zhao Dong to start a new round of financing. This time I fly to Singapore to sit in person and take action at any time." Several capital parties sensed Holly's ambition.

It is bound to win Grab.

Grab successively attacked Didi and Uber in the Southeast Asian market, and then fought several tough battles with Gojek across the Strait of Malacca, with its highest market value reaching US$400 billion.

There is no doubt that the roots in Southeast Asia are very deep.

The opponent Holly faced this time was no less than Didi in China.

Now that he can defeat Didi three times in China, Hawley is also confident of suppressing Grab in Southeast Asia.

This battle for the online ride-hailing market does not need to be completely won. All it takes is for the capital to put pressure on Chen Bingyao and his wife to agree to his merger and acquisition.

"Boss Huo, I wish you a successful start."

"This time I can see with my own eyes Mr. Huo's dramatic style in business wars."

"Mr. Huo, let me toast you."

The founders of several capital companies ignited their fighting spirit and paid tribute to Holly.

Looking forward to following Holly for a cup of soup.

……

At the end of March, Yisu Travel completed a new round of strategic financing.

The investment was led by Shunwei Capital and Rainbow Capital, with participation from Highland Capital, Temasek Sovereign Fund and Toyota Investment.

Financing amount is US$20 billion.

After completing the financing, Holly asked CEO Zhao Dong to create public pressure.

Within a week, major financial media and Internet media in Southeast Asia were reporting overwhelmingly on the news that Yisu was going to enter the Southeast Asian market.

The previous Thai market was just a small trial, which has seriously squeezed Grab's market share.

It has just completed US$20 billion in financing and entered the Southeast Asian market with such great fanfare. There is no doubt that it is for Grab.

Chen Bingyao and his wife are under great pressure.

Although it had been anticipated and Holly was not caught off guard, the billions of funds pouring into the Southeast Asian market would also overwhelm them.

They knew that Holly was in Singapore now, personally fighting this battle. Facing this business wizard and marketing genius, the two of them were very nervous.

While increasing the size of the H-round financing and replenishing ammunition.

On the other hand, Grab will continue to adopt the "down-to-earth" model that Grab is proud of to enhance user stickiness.

Holly has studied Chen Bingyao's playing style, especially the "grounded" mode.

Three killer moves.

One: Give pricing power to users. Before calling a taxi on the Grab platform, users can enter their ideal taxi fare, and then the system will find drivers and vehicles based on the fees set by the user.

This price calculation method has gained great popularity among passers-by.

Two: Launch shared motorcycles. Motorcycles are a feature of many Southeast Asian countries. Incorporating motorcycles into Grab’s online ride-hailing operation system not only increases transportation capacity, but also establishes a people-friendly corporate image.

Three: In terms of safety supervision, give full play to the subjective initiative of drivers and provide tips for drivers’ reports and feedback.

This method not only improves the driver's professionalism and legal awareness, but also maintains the safety of passengers.

The three killer moves played an important role in fighting against Uber.

But in the face of powerful capital, these means will be destroyed instantly.

When Uber spent a lot of money in the Southeast Asian market and launched free rides, it was not recognized. The main reason was due to insufficient transportation capacity.

Uber has not considered the reality of various countries and cities in Southeast Asia. Traffic congestion is the norm, and the user experience caused by insufficient transportation capacity is fatal.

Online car-hailing’s efforts to seize the market can be summed up in three points.

One: Abundant funds.

Two: Sufficient transportation capacity.

Three: Good service experience.

Money is the least of Holly's worries.

Solving transportation capacity is the top priority.

Holly mobilized Yi Su's strongest ground-pushing iron army from China, codenamed "Tiger Division".

When Qin Shihuang swept through the eight wastelands and unified China, the army led by him was the "Great Qin Tiger Division".

Yisu's Ditui Tiger Division is an elite soldier who has made great contributions in the confrontation between Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Didi.

After Huo Li gave the order, the Tiger Division went south to Southeast Asia and quickly established base areas in several cities such as Singapore, Jakarta, Bandung, and Kuala Lumpur, and began to penetrate.
