Chapter 280 Baidu is dying and Meituan is in crisis (please vote for me)
For the industrial upgrading of Xingyi Technology, Wang Yi has finalized many big projects this year, and next year there will be a concentrated explosion!

Jeju’s super mobile phone factory with an annual production capacity of 2000 million units, and its tablet factory with an annual production capacity of million units!
Daocheng has a smart TV factory and a smart home factory with an annual production capacity of tens of millions.

Xingyi Cloud Data Center with more than 100,000 servers!

Imperial Capital Fab!
As well as the second phase of the Xingyi Technology Park in the Imperial Capital and the Meiyu Technology Park in Jeju!
As well as the Zhenyou Garment Factory in the county and the Meiyou Garment Factory in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!
These projects are currently under construction in full swing.

Although many projects are attracting investment from the Imperial City, Jeju and other places, the infrastructure construction of industrial parks and factories in the early stage are provided free of charge.

But Wang Yi had to handle and invest in the subsequent software and hardware equipment himself.

Once the construction is completed, all kinds of software and hardware equipment will have to be put in, and money will be spent.

Especially expensive equipment such as servers and photolithography machines, any one of which costs billions.

As a result, Wang Yi, who has a lot of money, is under great pressure.

What's more, there are several major companies such as chip research and development, cloud computing, and AI that are burning money like crazy, but it is difficult to produce any output in the short term.

If you win Ele.me, it will be the Ele.me APP.

Li Yan held a high-level meeting again and said sadly:

Who can accept this?

It was blocked by both Xingyi Technology and Tencent. Without the authorization of the underlying map, it could only be shut down!

Not only Li Yan, but also all senior shareholders of Baidu find it difficult to accept the complete collapse of Baidu Maps + AI driverless business landscape!
After all, Baidu has invested a lot of manpower, material resources, and funds for this long-term strategy!

I just feel like Baidu Maps really can’t find the way forward.

Wang Yi wouldn't dare let them take a controlling stake in a useless team like Ele.me.

As a result, money has been invested, people have been recruited, and some results have been developed, but you tell me that the underlying map authorization is gone!

Let Wang Yi invest 5000 million in Ele.me, accounting for 30% of the shares, and become the second largest shareholder!
In this way, Zhang Hao can still guarantee the absolute right to speak.

The future is ruined!
Everything is cold!

During the Thousand Regiments War, Meituan took 5000 million yuan from Alibaba and still fought its way out of 6000 platforms with its strength!
Ele.me, on the other hand, was founded by capital, and then was beaten to death by Meituan...

Wang Yi didn't mind: "It's okay. If you talk to Ele.me again today, you'll be fine. If not, come back. If you're Ele.me, we can save some time. If you're not Ele.me, we'll do Gaode takeout directly. , it’s not a problem!”

"Okay, Chairman, let me talk to you again."

Fortunately, a good person from Baidu gave Wang Yi an assist. Once this wave of short selling is completed, another nearly 10 billion in funds will be accounted for!

For takeaways, Wang Yi is a must-do.

If you can’t get it, then it’s the Amap takeout app.

"I'm not willing to give in! We have invested so much money in Baidu Maps and so much money in AI driverless driving, and it's over like this?"

Now, Wang Yi has asked programmers from Xingyi Technology to build a takeout app in advance.

After saying that, Shawn Yue went straight to the headquarters of Ele.me.

Wang Yi couldn't help but want to applaud Baidu!

Regarding the current development, Wang Yi has already made plans to win the battle thousands of miles away.

"I'm not willing to give in, I'm really not willing to give in!"

Zhang Hao, the founder of Ele.me, wants Wang Yi’s investment.

Alibaba invested tens of billions in cloud computing, and Baidu also invested tens of billions in Baidu Maps + AI driverless driving.

However, most of the current takeaways are online ordering, and takeout apps have not yet been released.

"Chairman, I have been talking to Zhang Hao, the founder of Ele.me, for several days, but there has been little progress. He still doesn't want to sell the company!"

It is simply a useless fighter!

No matter what the outcome is, it will not affect Wang Yi's strategic layout!

In the previous life, Meituan started doing food delivery in November 2013, and it would be launched in 11 cities in a year!
This is a reasonable development speed!

No matter how well Xingyi’s mobile phones sell and no matter how much money Meiyou makes, they can’t stop making them!

All I can say is, thank you, big brother Baidu!
Even if his market value is cut in half, he still wants to help Wang Yi.

But the problem is, there is no solution to this matter!
Baidu used to block other companies, but now it is blocked by other companies.

Let Wang Yi completely relax!

good man!
Industry model!
After making nearly 10 billion, Wang Yi was in a good mood when he received a call from Shawn Yue, Vice President of AutoNavi:

This feeling is not ordinary uncomfortable!

The demands of both sides are different.

Total bankruptcy!

The only option is to fully acquire Ele.me and let the founding team serve as part of the management team. The core strategy is still finalized by Wang Yi himself!
In terms of strength, Meituan’s management is much stronger than Ele.me.

Unlike Wang Yi, who is calm and calm, Li Yan and others at Baidu headquarters are extremely melancholy and desperate.

A vice president even slapped his hand on the table, filled with indignation:

But what Wang Yi wants is to directly acquire the entire Ele.me!
There is no other way. The founding team of Ele.me is too weak. It took three years after its establishment to launch the product in three cities.

"Too deceiving!"

"Both Xingyi Technology and Penguin have gone too far. They even joined forces to block us, Baidu, and cut off our strategic future! It's really too much!"

"Can we sue them in the name of monopoly?"

Qu Xin shook his head: "If one party takes down Amap and NavInfo, it is suspected of having a monopoly position, and then blocks Baidu Maps, that is a monopoly, and we can sue!"

"But now Xingyi Technology and Tencent respectively control the two underlying map vendors AutoNavi and NavInfo, which are not monopolies at all. If both parties join forces to block Baidu Maps, it is naturally not suspected of being a monopoly!"

Li Yan was also full of melancholy: "Yes, this kind of joint strategic blockade is not a monopoly, it is completely unsolvable!"

For a moment, all the senior officials in the room fell silent.

Even the last hope is gone.

Last night, while Wang Yi was sleeping soundly with Lin Shu in his arms, Baidu's top executives were studying how to break the situation.

From night to day, I continued to study, but no countermeasures were found.

I have tried every possible way, but it still makes no sense and there is no way to break the situation!

"I finally understand. This is what Wang Yi and Penguin have agreed upon. In other words, it's their tacit cooperation and joint efforts to block Baidu!"

Qu Xin suddenly realized and understood everything in an instant:
"We approached Wang Yi to acquire AutoNavi on the 22nd. He did not refuse on that day, but refused the next day. This was to buy Tencent time and allow Tencent to win NavInfo ahead of Baidu, thus cutting off our Baidu's retreat!"

"In this way, Xingyi Technology and Tencent can join forces to block Baidu Maps. I even suspect that this is Wang Yibu's plan!"

"It must be Wang Yi's fault!" Other senior executives also came to their senses:

"If Wang Yi refuses our purchase of Amap on the 22nd, we will rush to NavInfo as soon as possible. If we pay more, we can also grab NavInfo on the 23rd!"

"But what about Wang Yi? This guy delayed us for a whole day and refused us to acquire Amap on the 23rd. When we arrived at NavInfo again, the day lilies were cold, and NavInfo had been taken over by Penguin!"

"What a clever method, what a cruel heart!"

Li Yan's eyes widened, and his blood pressure was so angry: "Director Wang, no, thief Wang! I really underestimated you! I underestimated you!"

For a moment, everyone was shocked.

No one expected that as early as the 22nd, Wang Yi would have everything figured out.

Deliberately delaying Baidu for a day, allowing Penguin to win NavInfo, cutting off Baidu's retreat!
How cruel!

But sometimes, if you are not careful, you will lose everything!
This is what Baidu is like now!

Qu Xin took a deep breath: "The relationship between us and Xingyi Technology is too tense at the moment, and Baidu Maps is Amap's biggest rival. Wang Yi will definitely not give us authorization. But Penguin can still try again. Try. After all, Tencent’s Soso map market share is very small, and we don’t want AutoNavi to dominate!”

Li Yan waved his hand: "It's useless. The relationship between BAT is only life and death, and there is no possibility of cooperation. After all, in order to enter the social field, we at Baidu are doing Baidu hi and Baidu as a whole. It’s because of Tencent’s social network. They already have a grudge in their hearts, so how can they authorize us?”

Qu Xin still didn't want to give up: "Chairman, we have no choice in the current situation, so we can only try with all our strength. There is no other way. After all, if Tencent's road fails, then we will wait for Baidu Maps and AI driverless The only outcome is bankruptcy!”

"This..." Li Yan was silent.

Yes, Baidu has no choice now.

Either shamelessly beg Tencent again, or wait for the core business layout to go bankrupt!
"Let me try again. I'll fly to Shenzhen City in person and talk about it again!" Qu Xin insisted.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Li Yan patted Qu Xin on the shoulder.

Qu Xin nodded, said nothing more, and set off on a new journey again.

But Li Yan looked at everyone and changed the subject:
"We have to be prepared with both hands. If Qu Xin succeeds, our Baidu Map + AI driverless strategy can still be saved and can continue to advance."

"If Qu Xin fails, then this strategy will be completely over. We at Baidu must also adjust as soon as possible and start a new strategic layout! At the same time, we will continue to take revenge on Xingyi Technology and Tencent and avenge the blood revenge of this ban!"

One kind of high-level person said one after another: "Yes. You can't hang yourself from a tree."

"You have to prepare in advance."

"We must take revenge! Tencent and Xingyi Technology have caused us heavy losses and ruined our future. We must make them pay the price!"

Li Yan nodded: "Revenge needs to be considered in the long term. Next, let's discuss Baidu's new strategic direction. Do you have any suggestions?"

Everyone at the scene fell into silence.

It took a long time for someone to say: "Chairman, the biggest trend on the Internet right now is o2o group buying. If Baidu Maps + AI driverless strategy collapses, why not forcefully enter group buying!"

"I think so too. Now Alibaba has entered the game and invested 5000 million in Meituan. This time we can't be one step behind them, we have to invest in advance!"

"Furthermore, when Wang Yi acquires Amap, he will also do o2o and group buying. Now we, Baidu, have entered the game strongly. With our resources and strength of Baidu, coupled with the advantages of search engines, we will quickly expand and not only be able to sweep the group buying market ”

"That's right! O2O is a battleground for military strategists. Not only Alibaba, but also Xingyi Technology and Tencent will enter the market forcefully. By then, if we defeat them all together, it will be regarded as avenging blood!"

Li Yan became interested: "Well said, Alibaba, which is the main group buying hot spot, has entered the game, we can't let it go, and we can still compete with Xingyi Technology and Tencent, so we have to enter the game strongly!"

But then someone stood up and said, "I object!"

In an instant, the busy conference room fell completely silent.

Li Yan looked at the other party and frowned slightly: "Director Wu, why do you object? Do you think group buying is not possible? Or does Baidu not have the strength?"

Director Wu sighed: "Chairman, it's not that you can't do group buying, but the basis of group buying is also the underlying map data!"

Li Yan's expression changed drastically: "..."

"Fuck! Forgot about this."

For a moment, everyone came to their senses, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

Yes, group buying also requires a map!
Baidu's underlying map authorization cannot be solved, how to do group buying?
Director Wu continued to worry: "Not only can we not do group buying, but without the strategic security of the underlying map, we cannot do the entire o2o industry!"

Li Yan: "..."

Everyone: "..."

The people in the room were livid and angry, but there was nothing they could do.

Although this is heartbreaking to say, it is true.

All o2o industries are based on maps.

Without a map, it's all in vain!

Unless Baidu does its own surveying and mapping, but also wants to acquire a company with Class A surveying and mapping qualifications, it will have to do all the surveying and mapping, which will take at least several years, which is too time-consuming!
When Baidu is ready, the day lilies will be cold.

By then, the group buying market will have settled!

"It's so irritating!" Li Yan was so angry that he felt completely bad.

Also feeling the crisis is Meituan King.

To this end, he decisively convened a high-level meeting:

"Everyone, what do you think about the recent Xingyi Technology and Tencent teaming up to block Baidu?"

"Hey! Baidu deserves it. Who asked him to seek death, block Xingyi Video, and belittle Director Wang and Xingyi Technology? Now it's better, he was banned!"

"I can only say that those who are fooling around will have to pay back sooner or later. Look at the stock price falling, it has been cut in half! Hahaha!"

"However, the strength of Xingyi Technology is not easy to underestimate. It has blocked Baidu so quickly."

Listening to everyone's words, Wang Xing was a little disappointed, they didn't even hit the point. At this time, the deputy manager Han Wen, who had been silent all this time, said coldly: "What's the point of gloating? It's just the death of a rabbit and the sorrow of a fox!"

"Manager Han, what do you mean?"

Several executives were very angry. This guy was so rude.

Wang Xing's eyes lit up: "Well said!"

"Manager Han, those people haven't woken up yet, wake them up!"

"Yes!" Han Wen said eloquently: "Xingyi Technology teamed up with Penguin to block Baidu, relying on the underlying map data. Similarly, our Meituan also relies on the underlying map data! Today they can block Baidu, and tomorrow they can also block us Meituan group!"

"This..." Everyone fell silent and their expressions changed drastically.

Han Wen continued: "Not only Meituan and Baidu Maps, but also other F-groups, Lashou Group, Wowo Group, etc., there are more than 6,000 group buying platforms, all relying on the underlying map, and they can all be used. Xingyi Technology and Tencent join forces to block it!”

"To put it bluntly, our future is controlled by Tencent and Xingyi Technology. Especially Xingyi Technology, the underlying map used by our Meituan is Amap. Once Director Wang takes action, our Meituan will be finished! It will be the second A Baidu map!”

Hearing this, the smiles on all the senior executives' faces froze.

Just a moment ago, I was gloating that Baidu was blocked.

The next second I realized that their Meituan group was also being choked!

Wang Xing nodded with satisfaction: "What Han Wen said is very good and right! The strategic security of the underlying map is too important. Once Meituan is banned, it will be completely over. What strategies do you have to solve this matter?"

At this time, a vice president said: "Chairman, there is no other way. We only have tens of millions of funds. It is unrealistic and too late to make our own underlying map. We can only rely on a map dealer to ensure the security of our map strategy." "

"If you can't beat me, then join! You have the right idea, keep talking!" Wang Xing said with a smile.

"There are currently only two graphics vendors, AutoNavi and NavInfo. The former was fully acquired by Xingyi Technology. The latter is Penguin. We can only choose one of the two."

"However, our Meituan is invested by Alibaba, and we are considered to be affiliated with Alibaba. We are old enemies with Penguin. To put it bluntly, there is no need to consider Penguin's NavInfo. The major shareholder Alibaba will not agree."

"We can only choose Xingyi Technology and let Xingyi Technology become one of our major shareholders. Only in this way can we ensure Meituan's underlying map data and strategic security."

"Moreover, there is not much conflict between Xingyi Technology and Alibaba. Instead, they have common rivals Baidu and Tencent. The so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend. I believe Jack Ma will not reject the introduction of Xingyi Technology for the development of Meituan!"

Wang Xing applauded: "Very good, you two are right. The thinking is clear and the strategy is sound. Very good!"

"As they said, if Meituan wants to secure its map strategy, it can only choose to introduce Xingyi Technology to become our major shareholder and form a strategic alliance."

After Wang Xing said this, he cursed secretly in his heart:
'Garbage Ali can't take over the Goose Factory, what's the use of you guys? '

'As long as Alibaba spends more money and wins NavInfo, Meituan will not be so passive! '

Wang Xing sighed and continued: "I'll leave the company's affairs to you for now. I have to go see Director Ma to talk about this matter."

Alibaba is currently the major shareholder of Meituan. Although Wang Xing still retains the absolute right to speak, he still has to maintain a good relationship.

There is no way, group buying is too expensive, other platforms are going crazy.

Later, when Meituan was short of money, it still counted on Alibaba to invest.

Therefore, for such a major matter as the introduction of a new major shareholder, you must talk to Jack Ma in person and convince Jack Ma before you can go to Director Wang together!
Afterwards, Wang Xing flew directly to Hangzhou to find Jack Ma.

On the other side, Shawn Yue did not give up and once again approached Zhang Hao, the founder of Ele.me. Just like yesterday, he was preparing to grind again.

Wang Yi gave himself such an important task as the acquisition of Ele.me. Shawn Yue didn’t want to disappoint Wang Yi!
But as soon as he entered, Zhang Hao waved his hand: "President Yu, stop talking!"

Shawn Yue sighed: "..."

Sure enough, the result is still the same. This guy is not good at making money. He only accepts investments and does not accept sales.

"Director Wang, I'm sorry, I tried my best!"

Shawn Yue sighed in his heart and could only turn around and walk out the door.

"???" Zhang Hao was confused: "What kind of operation is this?"

He immediately chased him out: "President Yu, what are you doing?"

Shawn Yue stopped and said, "Since Director Zhang is unwilling to sell Are you hungry, I won't force it!"

"..." The corners of Zhang Hao's mouth twitched: "Who said I'm not willing to sell? I am!"

"!!!"

Shawn Yue was speechless for a moment, then smiled: "Dr. Zhang, are you serious?"

"Seriously!" Zhang Hao said decisively.

Shawn Yue was completely confused: "Director Zhang, yesterday you were still unwilling to sell even to death. Why are you so willing and willing to sell it today?"

Zhang Hao smiled slightly: "Yesterday was who I was yesterday, and today is who I am today. Use who I was yesterday to measure who I am today. Donor, you are lucky!"

Shawn Yue: "..."

Damn it, what kind of nonsense literature are you talking about?

Zhang Hao smiled slightly: "Take me to see Director Wang. We can sign the contract today. I will sell!"

There was no way, Zhang Hao was originally very ambitious and had no intention of selling Are You Hungry!
Even if it was Wang Yi, even if he could bring a lot of resources and capital to Ele.me, Zhang Hao was only willing to sell 30% of the shares and let Wang Yi become the second largest shareholder.

Any more will shake his right to speak in Ele.me.

But after seeing Baidu Maps being blocked by Tencent and Xingyi Technology, the stock price plummeted, Zhang Hao completely sobered up.

Even Baidu, the leader of BAT, has been severely punished, and its market value has been cut in half.

Is he a little hungry? What a fart?

After all, Ele.me also needs underlying map data, which is also provided by Amap.

No matter how stubborn you are, if you piss off Director Wang, he will be directly banned by Ele.me, making Ele.me unable to even use the map. How about making a takeaway from Hammer?
As for switching to Tencent's Soso map... the current Soso map is very undetailed and far inferior to the Amap map.

There are many locations and shops that are available in Amap but not on Soso.

It is precisely because of this that Amap has more than 40 million users, while Soso Map has only 2 million!
It’s not the same size at all!
After the merger of Amap and Sogou Maps, the number of users reached 3300 million. Coupled with the turmoil during this period, Amap's users have grown rapidly, and the number has already exceeded 4000 million.

Soso Map still has about 200 million users, which is not as many as the previous Sogou Map users.

Even if Penguin takes a stake in NavInfo and becomes the second largest shareholder, it will still need a lot of time to integrate NavInfo's resources, improve the Soso map, and slowly catch up with Amap.

This time will be very long, and it may not be possible to catch up!
It can be said that Ele.me has no choice.

You can only choose Gaode, Xingyi Technology, and Wang Yi.

Rather than having a falling out and being banned, it would be better to sell it directly to Director Wang and make more money.

And he, Zhang Hao, might be able to stay at Ele.me and become a high-level executive with a worry-free future and money!
Otherwise, the fate of Baidu Maps will be a lesson to Ele.me.

Last night, he had already thought everything through.

"Director Zhang, you made a wise choice. Let's go to Xingyi Technology now."

Shawn Yue was happy, the happiness came too suddenly.

This guy suddenly changed his tune.

Only then did Shawn Yue understand the reason.

It seems that Baidu was banned, which made Zhang Hao frightened!

I’m worried that if I don’t sell it, Ele.me will also be banned!

No wonder!
"But is Director Wang that domineering? Is he?"

Shawn Yue asked himself, he didn’t know if there was one.

the next day.

Zhang Hao came to Xingyi Technology and met Wang Yi: "Hello, Director Wang, hello!"

"Sit down! Director Zhang!" Wang Yi poured a glass for Zhang Hao himself.

Zhang Hao was flattered and stood up quickly: "Director Wang, you are too polite. I can do it myself."

"It's a small matter." Wang Yi said calmly.

Such an approachable gesture made Zhang Hao feel a little dazed.

Is this the ruthless person who reduced Baidu's market value by more than 100 billion in a short period of time?

Can you be so good-tempered?

No, it must be a smile hiding a knife, first be polite and then attack!
Mudd! We are right to sell Ele.me. It is terrible to be a rival with such a person!

Fortunately I figured it out, otherwise I would have been banned too!
Zhang Hao quickly said: "Director Wang, I understand. The development of Ele.me still needs big names like you. I can't control it and I am willing to sell them all! There are no problems with other small shareholders!"

"Thank you!" Wang Yixiao said, "But you are only half right. Ele.me not only needs me, but also needs you!"

"You mean..." Zhang Hao was excited.

"After I acquire Ele.me, you will still be the president and help me manage Ele.me. In addition to the high salary, I will also give you 5% of the dry shares and dividends! Likewise, the Ele.me brand will continue to Use it, don’t change it!”

Although the founding team of Ele.me has limited capabilities, Zhang Hao himself still has something.

He figured out the current model and essence of Ele.me.

Wang Yi will still keep him, which can be regarded as a statement to the outside world, or to establish a personal profile:
"When I, Wang Yi, acquire any company, I will respect the founder and give him the position of president, shares, and dividends! Even the name of the company will not be changed!"

In this way, more high-quality companies will be willing to accept Wang Yi's acquisition.

If, like Alibaba, we directly acquire the company, kick out the founder team, and arrange for professional managers to be outsiders to manage the experts, then most companies in the future will not want to be acquired by Wang Yi.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Wang Yi has a good reputation in the entertainment and investment circles, and many stars, directors, and producers are vying to cooperate with him.

Nowadays, in the technology and business circles, it is necessary to leave a good reputation in order for other companies to be willing to accept Wang Yi's investment and acquisitions.

Zhang Hao was completely excited: "Director Wang, you are so kind to me, thank you, thank you!"

Unexpectedly, after Wang Yi acquired 100% of the company, he was allowed to continue to be the president and given shares, without even changing the brand of Ele.me!
What a surprise!
The conscience of capital!
"Don't worry, Director Wang, I will work hard and never let you down!" Zhang Hao promised, patting his chest.

"I believe you!" Wang Yixiao said, "As for the purchase price..."

"2 million is fine, no, 1.8 million is fine!"

The treatment Wang Yi gave him was so good that Zhang Hao had no intention of asking for excessive prices.

"Haha, let's say it's 200 million!" Wang Yi said with a smile.

200 million to buy Ele.me can only be said to be cheap, too cheap.

There is no way, the current takeout concept is too advanced, and many people cannot understand it.

Even capital only started to pay attention to takeout in 2013.

Baidu only started doing food delivery in 2014.

Alibaba also launched TaoDianDian in 2014.

As for Tencent, it is even more of an afterthought...

To put it bluntly, food delivery and online ride-hailing were both novelties in 2011 and 2012.

Not to mention that capital is not optimistic about it, even store owners are not optimistic about it.

Why did Ele.me choose to start selling food from universities?

It is because college students are young people and are easy to accept new things.

Of course, this is also because many canteens are unpalatable.

But this is better, no one is optimistic about it, Wang Yi will do it himself.

By the time Ele.me gets bigger and other capital notices the prospects of the food delivery market, it will be too late.

Especially now, the attention of capital and enterprises is attracted by group buying. This is the best time for Wang Yi to develop takeout!
Soon, the two parties signed the contract.

Wang Yi successfully acquired Ele.me.

"President Zhang, I will give you 100 million yuan in funding. Within one year, you must open websites in first- and second-tier cities!"

That’s right, crazy expansion!
Wang Yi wants to win the takeout market as soon as possible before everyone reacts!
