Chapter 303: Temporary cooperation, Baidu’s big move!

Looking at the soaring users and revenue in the background, Wang Xing was in a good mood.

I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at all, so I decisively opened a bottle of champagne and tasted it quietly:
"Sure enough, Xingyi Technology is the traffic code. The first-level entrance to Changchao has not yet been launched, but Meituan's traffic and users have begun to increase. It's great!"

Although Alibaba can also provide traffic to Meituan, it is a pity that Jack Ma is too greedy and has a big appetite. He just wants to tie Meituan to death or even annex Meituan.

Wang Xing cannot accept this no matter what.

Xingyi Technology simply invests and becomes a major shareholder, and does not want to annex Meituan at all.

Even Wang Xing suspected that Wang Yi didn't like group buying at all and just wanted to make a profit through Meituan, otherwise he would have ended up himself.

But this is better. It is precisely because Wang Yi has no desire to control Meituan that Wang Xing feels at ease.

In the previous life, JD.com, Meituan, PDD, etc. all accepted investment from Tencent instead of relying on Alibaba. This is because Tencent only invests and does not take power or annex.

But Jack Ma is different. He is too domineering and always wants to control or even annex.

It would be fine if they develop well after the annexation, but unfortunately, most of the companies annexed by Ali have continued to decline, or even become completely bankrupt.

Wang Yi naturally learned from Ali's lesson and directly acquired companies that were needed by the core strategy.

For non-core enterprises, just invest and make money, so I don't bother to swallow them all.

Also unable to sleep tonight is the old director of Baidu.

Looking at the trending news, Li Yan sighed:
"Wang Yi really took action! He was very smart. Instead of starting a group buying business from scratch, he directly invested in Meituan, which coincides with me."

"No, Xingyi Technology has taken action, and Baidu's O2O layout must also be accelerated!"

"Baidu Maps was killed by Amap, iQiyi was killed by Xingyi Video, and even Baidu Search lost 10% of its market share to Sogou Search! Now when it comes to local life business, we can no longer lose to Xingyi Technology !”

“Not only can’t we lose, but we must also grow rapidly, overthrow Meituan, and let Wang Yi experience what it means to lose all his money!”

Thinking of this, Li Yan quickly made a phone call: "Qu Xin, inject capital into Nuomi.com as soon as possible. Baidu's local life business must not fall behind anymore! No, take direct control!"

"Okay, Chairman, I will go to Nuomi.com headquarters in person tomorrow!" Qu Xin said.

"I can rest assured that you will do the work!" Li Yan hung up the phone and smiled coldly: "Wang Yi, O2O is not easy to do. This time, we still don't know who will win!"

"Besides, your investment in Meituan is equivalent to taking away Alibaba's goals. I'm afraid Jack Ma won't be able to swallow this breath."

"Coupled with Baidu, facing the double suppression of Baidu and Alibaba, as well as a number of group buying platforms, I don't believe that the Meituan you invested in can become bigger! Haha."

For a moment, Li Yan was in a good mood.
Ali headquarters.

Jackma fell silent while watching a piece of news:
[Xingyi Technology becomes the largest shareholder of Meituan, may Alibaba be out? 】

"Made!" The corner of Jackma's mouth twitched.

What does it mean that Xingyi Technology has become the largest shareholder and Alibaba will be out?

Alibaba is afraid of Xingyi Technology?

joke!

This is not very harmful, but extremely insulting!
Although Ali did want to quit, after all, the funds had to be kept to support the reputation of his own son.

But even if you withdraw your shares, you don’t want to withdraw now.

At the very least, if the valuation is high in the future, you will choose a suitable opportunity to withdraw your shares.

The current valuation is too low and it is not cost-effective to withdraw shares.

But Koubei.com needs to speed up its progress!

The next day, a piece of news hit the hot search again, causing a sensation on the entire Internet!

[Alibaba is making great efforts in the group buying market, injecting RMB 10 billion into word-of-mouth group buying! 】

This piece of news once again caused an uproar.

However, other media reports gradually changed their tune:

[Word-of-mouth is split from the Taobao business, and Alibaba responds strongly to Xingyi Technology and Meituan. 】

[In order to retaliate against Meituan, Alibaba relaunched the word-of-mouth brand! 】

[Meituan was robbed, Alibaba was out, and had to do its own group buying. 】

Jack Ma's mouth twitched: "Why is Ali out again?"

"Made. Are these media out of their minds?"

"I don't want to lose face?"

But unfortunately, Jack Ma's depression was ignored.

Even if they don't admit it, everyone feels so.

And Jack Ma can't explain it, otherwise it will only get darker and darker.

Tencent headquarters.

The vice president approached Chairman Ma: "Chairman, Xingyi Technology has invested US$7000 million in strategic investment in Meituan. Alibaba has re-activated word-of-mouth and injected 10 billion yuan into group buying. Baidu is also contacting Nuomi.com, and it will also end. Do we, Tencent, want to …”

Director Ma thought for a while and waved his hand: "No need. Local life is not an area we are good at. Moreover, the entire group buying market is a sea of ​​​​blood, and everyone is burning money. With the entry of Xingyi Technology, Alibaba, and Baidu, the money-burning war It will only become more brutal. It’s hard to say who will live or die in the end.”

"There are thousands of platforms in the group buying market now. If we enter the market now and bet on the wrong target, we will suffer huge losses. Why don't we wait and wait for them to decide the winner? Let's choose a target and invest in it!"

"The chairman is wise!" The vice president's eyes lit up. The chairman is still far-sighted.

Let thousands of platforms compete first, and only the player who survives to the finals is worthy of Tencent's investment.

Director Ma sighed: "Don't worry about group buying. We may not be able to tell the difference in two or three years. There is no need to get involved now. What matters now is WeChat."

The vice president nodded: "Yes, Changchao is developing too fast. The number of users has reached 2500 million, and it is still million short of catching up with WeChat. The threat is too great, and they are too shameless."

Director Ma also lost his temper: "After using Changchao for a month, Amap 200 was worth 200. It's so shameless. Without this activity, Changchao wouldn't be so powerful. Just one Amap alone brought them three Millions of users!”

"Yes, if there was no Amap cashback activity, Changchao would only have 2000 million users now, which is nothing to worry about. However, the users attracted by Amap's cashback are all inferior users. After a month, they will get 200 cashback After that, Changchao will probably be abandoned.”

Director Ma breathed a sigh of relief: "If that's the case, that would be great. By the way, Zhang Long, how is the development of the circle of friends function going?"

"After half a month of overtime work, the development is making good progress and is almost finished. With testing and bug fixes, the product can be launched as soon as the end of the month."

"A month behind? Okay, ugh!"

Director Ma was very helpless. Initially, WeChat's development was not going well, but later, with great difficulty, the number of users increased with the help of Shake and Drift Bottle.

Well now, not long after the surge, a Cheng Yaojin appeared on the way, no, a Pei Yuanqing appeared on the way!

Products similar to WeChat are better than WeChat.

Chat has all the functions that WeChat has.

There are functions that WeChat doesn’t have, but Chat also has them!

How to fight this?
It’s really... alas!

With a sigh, Director Ma felt helpless, and then his face became serious: "Tell the WeChat department that social networking is the foundation of Goose Factory and must not be lost."

"Yes!" The vice president changed the subject: "Then this year's year-end bonus for the WeChat department..."

"Hmph! We are almost overtaken by Changchao, but we still get the year-end bonus?" Director Ma was furious: "Tell Zhang Long that if WeChat is finished and defeated by Changchao, their entire department will be disbanded!"

"Yes!"

Ma Dong's face became more solemn: "WeChat is QQ's protective wall. If WeChat fails, then Changchao will be able to march straight in and attack our QQ!"

The vice president's face changed drastically: "Chairman, do you also think that the goal of Changchao is not WeChat at all, but QQ?"

Director Ma nodded: "Chanchao is too far ahead of WeChat. Zhang Long and the others are completely following Changchao in development. When Changchao launched Moments, we followed suit to develop Moments. When Changchao launched surrounding food and travel, we also followed suit. Food nearby, travel nearby. It’s too passive and has no future to follow behind Changchao and be led by Changchao.”

"Coupled with Amap's free navigation cashback event, there is a high probability that WeChat will not be a rival to Changchao! To put it bluntly, it is only a matter of time before WeChat is surpassed by Changchao. And the real goal of Changchao is not WeChat at all, but QQ !”

The vice president nodded: "This is also the news we got from Xingyi Technology. Changchao is indeed here for QQ! This is a big trouble, QQ's 6 million users are our foundation!"

Director Ma took a deep breath: "Raise QQ's budget a little, we must increase investment and prepare for free chat!"

"Yes!" the vice president responded decisively: "Does WeChat need additional investment?"

Director Ma thought for a while: "QQ is the key point. We will not add WeChat for now. We will wait for the follow-up development!"

Currently, WeChat has 7500 million users and QQ has 6 million users. Both Chairman Ma and Vice President value the latter more.

After all, they are not reborn and cannot see the strategic significance and bright future of WeChat.

Coupled with Wang Yi's statement that "the only way to chat is to do QQ", the Goose Factory was deceived!
I really believed it!

This is exactly the good result Wang Yi wants to see.

Xingyi Technology Headquarters.

Wang Yi received a big boss who likes to wear red clothes, the chairman of 360.com.

The dressing styles of big guys in the tech industry are all very unique.

For example, 360 Lao Zhou likes red clothes, so he is called the leader of red clothes.

Zuckerberg likes to buy many identical pieces of clothing, such as five identical gray items, five identical black items...

Steve Jobs’ typical blue jeans + black T-shirt.

Similarly, Rebus wears blue jeans and a black T-shirt to pay tribute to Steve Jobs.

As for the other big guys, they wear suits, white shirts, and business style.

"Director Wang, it's not easy to finally meet you, it's really not easy!" Lao Zhou smiled and stretched out his hand.

Wang Yi shook hands with him: "I'm sorry. I originally wanted to visit you two days ago, but the Meituan matter was delayed. I asked you to come in person, Jay Chou Haihan."

The leader in red quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, investment is more important, we can all talk!"

"Haha, welcome Director Jay, come and have tea!"

"Thank you." The red-clothed leader took a sip and said with a smile: "Director Wang is great, and he wants to focus on group buying, which is the hottest industry at the moment."

Wang Yi sighed: "It is also the most expensive industry, with hundreds of millions and hundreds of millions burning in the future."

"So cruel!" Lao Zhou was shocked: "This guy Wang Xing is so lucky. With the cooperation of Director Wang, Meituan has a promising future. If 360 can also cooperate with Director Wang, that would be great."

Wang Yi smiled: "That's no problem at all. In fact, the reason for inviting Director Jay over this time is to discuss cooperation!"

"That's great!" The red-clothed leader beamed with joy.

The domestic technology circles are clearly divided, and BAT is the first echelon, with a valuation of more than 1000 billion yuan.

There is also a second echelon: Renren, 360, JD.com, NetEase, Sina, Sohu and other giants, with market values ​​or valuations ranging from tens of billions to tens of billions.

As for Meituan, which has just started, its valuation is only more than one billion yuan, which is not even high.

If second-tier giants such as 360 and Sohu don’t want to be defeated by BAT, they can only join a group to keep warm and work together to do BAT!

The emergence of Xingyi Technology and its rapid rise have made it the best choice for the second echelon of cooperation to challenge BAT.

The simplest thing is that if Xingyi Technology can kill one of the BAT companies, in the divided market, second-tier giants such as 360 can get a share of the pie, and some of their counterparts can even gain a lot of profits!

This is also the reason why Wang Yi is willing to cooperate with the second echelon.

Without him, join forces to be the first echelon!

As for forming an alliance with BAT? If the two sides are not equal in strength, they will only be wiped out.

"I wonder how Mr. Wang plans to cooperate?" the leader in red became interested.

Wang Yi explained: "Currently, 360's core business is security, but there are more and more competitors in the security field, including Tencent Butler, Kingsoft Antivirus, Baidu Guard, Cheetah Antivirus, etc. In addition, 360 also has 360 Browser."

"The core business of Xingyi Technology is Xingyi mobile phones. The sales growth rate of Xphone 1 is terrifying, with 800 million units sold in less than two months. It is only a matter of time before the total sales of Xingyi mobile phones exceed 1500 million units, or even 2000 million units. In addition, we also have Sogou search engine, but Sogou search engine’s market share is not high.”

The leader in red understood what Wang Yi meant: "Director Wang, do you mean that the Sogou search engine is built into the 360 ​​browser, and the 360 ​​security guard is built into Xingyi's phone?"

Wang Yi nodded: "That's right! In this way, we exchange resources. Sogou search engine has the built-in support of 360 browser, and its market share has increased sharply. It has more hope to join Baidu. And 360 Security Guard has tens of millions of Xingyi The built-in mobile phone can also seize the mobile terminal, and the market share has increased dramatically. It is also more reliable to work as Tencent Butler, Baidu Security Guard, Kingsoft Internet Security, etc. "

"That's it!" the red-clothed leader said, lost in thought.

This cooperation sounds like an exchange of resources, and the cooperation will benefit both parties. It is perfect and will be of great benefit to both parties.

But if you think about it carefully, there is a problem.

For example, 360 has a browser and is actually developing its own search engine, but the progress is slow. According to the plan, the launch will be stable by the end of the year. If there is a rush to launch it in the second half of the year, it will be hasty.

Once the 360 ​​browser cooperates with Xingyi Technology and binds the Sogou search engine, it will be difficult to launch the 360 ​​search engine in the future.

But Xingyi Mobile sold 800 million units in just over a month, and there is no pressure to exceed 2000 million sales this year.

If there is another new model, the total sales volume may exceed 2500 million.

If 2500 million Xingyi mobile phones had built-in 360 Security Guard, it would be invincible.

The red-clothed leader was extremely excited about this piece of fat.

Is it because 360 ​​search engine refuses to cooperate and gives up the built-in 360 security guard?

Or give up the 360 ​​search engine for the built-in 360 security guard on Xingyi mobile phone?

For a moment, the leader in red was confused.

I want a fish, and I want a bear's paw. You can't have both!

However, there is another possibility!
That is short-term cooperation.

For example, we only cooperate for one year!
360 search engine development takes time, if it is launched perfectly, it will take at least one year.

It would be better to cooperate with Xingyi Technology this year. 360 browser has built-in Sogou search engine, and Xingyi mobile phone has built-in 360 security guard.

After a year, when 360’s own search engine is ready, the cooperation will be canceled and its own search engine will be replaced!

That's perfect.

It's just a bit unethical.

But as a businessman, how can it be called immoral?

At most it is wisdom!

Well, that's totally fine.

The corner of Lao Zhou's mouth raised, he was in a good mood, and said decisively: "Director Wang, this is a very good proposal, a win-win situation. I completely agree! Let's cooperate like this!"

'Well, anyway, the development of 360 search engine will take another year. It just so happens that we can cooperate first and get one year of Xingyi mobile phone's built-in 360 security guard. '

"Okay, then let's cooperate for a win-win situation." Wang Yi smiled slightly and stretched out his hand.

"Win-win!" Lao Zhou and Wang Yi shook hands happily, with sincere expressions on their faces.

A strategic cooperation of resource exchange was reached.

Later, the two parties agreed on some cooperation details, such as the next xphone 1 system update, which will directly have 360 ​​Security Guard built-in.

The 360 ​​browser will also be upgraded simultaneously, with the Sogou search engine built-in directly.

The two parties will send technical teams to each other for communication and then update simultaneously.

The cooperation was perfected, and Wang Yi sent the red leader away.

Jian Ziyan frowned slightly: "Chairman, if you cooperate with 360 like this, don't you worry that 360 will regret it and become a 360 search engine?"

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "They will definitely make a 360 search engine."

"Then why do you still want to cooperate with him? Aren't you going to be cheated?" Jian Ziyan was puzzled.

Wang Yi laughed dumbly: "Ziyan, when have you ever seen me suffer a loss?"

Jian Ziyan's beautiful eyes moved: "Chairman, do you mean that we should also be our own security guards?"

Wang Yi smiled and said nothing.

360 is developing its own search engine. Others don't know it, but Wang Yi knows it.

This cooperation is still proposed for the current resource exchange. Lao Zhou will definitely agree, but it is only temporary.

Once 360 ​​develops its own search engine, this honeymoon will be over.

But it doesn’t matter!

Lao Zhou is developing the 360 ​​search engine, and Wang Yi is also developing the security guard of Xingyi Technology!
It’s just that security software is unusual and time-consuming.

Cloud services are also needed, and the Xingyi Cloud data center has not yet been built. It will not be available in the short term, at least in a year or so!
In this case, it is better to have a short-term resource exchange with 360.

Cooperation with different motives.

When 360 breaks the contract and launches 360 Search, Wang Yi will immediately turn his back and remove the 360 ​​Security Guard and replace it with the Security Guard of Xingyi Technology!
They are just trading with their own motives.

Moreover, what Wang Yi wants to do is not just the mobile version of the security guard, but the entire security system, covering all aspects of mobile phones, TVs, PCs, servers, clouds, etc.

If an enterprise wants to grow bigger, security protection cannot be left to others.

Baidu, Tencent, and Alibaba all have their own security systems, and even Xiaomi has one!

It is even worse for Xingyi Technology to leave security issues to 360. It must do it itself.

Especially for the later Xingyi Cloud services and data centers, absolute security must be ensured.

At the Meyou Technology headquarters in Jeju, in addition to developing Changchao, there is also a group of people developing security systems.

The leader is the top security expert Wang Yi hired with a lot of money.

As for 360, it is just a temporary cooperation.

In fact, many mobile phone brands use 360 ​​as security guards, such as Huawei and Meizu.

There are also many brands that are Tencent’s mobile phone managers, such as Lenovo and Oppo.

But Wang Yi was destined to do it himself.

That night, a piece of news spread across the Internet.

[The Hong Kong Stock Exchange disclosed that in order to expand new business, Xingyi Technology will partially reduce its holdings in BYD shares next month. Wang Yi’s personal holdings of BYD stocks will not be reduced. 】

This information immediately caused a sensation:
"What? Xingyi Technology wants to reduce its holdings in BYD shares? What do you mean, are you not optimistic about BYD?"

"It's possible. It seems that new energy is still not good. The world is still dominated by fuel vehicles."

"Since Xingyi Technology has reduced its holdings, BYD's stock price will definitely plummet. Everyone, run away!"

"Even Chairman Wang is not optimistic about BYD, so there is probably a big problem."

"Could it be that Chairman Wang and BYD had a falling out, so they want to reduce their holdings? No, they have to run away."

"Not necessarily. I didn't see that the information disclosed was for the development of new business. Moreover, it was only a partial reduction of Xingyi Technology, and the BYD stock in the hands of Director Wang was not reduced at all."

"It makes sense. If Director Wang is not optimistic about BYD, he will definitely reduce his holdings of BYD shares."

"Hey, what does this make sense? It must be that both parties are reducing their holdings, fearing that it will trigger a selling panic and not be able to sell at a high price."

"Yes, it's better to run first out of respect. I will sell it today. Chairman Wang wants to reduce his holdings, but he is not optimistic about BYD. BYD is finished."

"Stop talking nonsense. Xingyi Technology is only a strategic necessity. I am still very optimistic about BYD."

"That's right, the latest news is that Xingyi Technology has sent two more orders worth tens of millions to BYD!"

"real or fake?"

"Damn it, it's true."

[Xingyi Technology has increased its cooperation with BYD and once again signed a large OEM order for tens of millions of mobile phones, a large OEM order of tens of millions of tablets, and a large order of tens of millions of components! 】

"The last time Xingyi Technology invested in BYD, it only signed an order of 5 million. This time, although it reduced its holdings, it delivered a large order of 30 million! This is not not that it is not optimistic at all, but that it is very optimistic about BYD!"

"That's right! Director Wang is not only optimistic, but also added three more than 10 million orders to deepen cooperation. As for part of the reduction, it is probably for the development of new business."

"It makes sense. Look, it's a big order for tens of millions of tablets! Xingyi Technology is going to release Xingyi Tablets. It must be to make tablets, so it partially reduced its holdings to cash out."

"Partially reduce BYD stock holdings, cash out to make tablets, and then let BYD OEM, so BYD makes money! This is a closed loop. They are completely die-hard allies and strategic cooperation."

"Yes, we have won three million-dollar orders at the beginning of the year. BYD's revenue will definitely skyrocket this year, and its stock price will also rise."

"That's right, you can run away if you want, I will keep you. I won't run away."

"Nonsense. Only when you deliver an order worth three million yuan will you be a fool to run away."

……

Looking at these public opinions, Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Three million-dollar orders finally stabilized BYD's stock price, preventing it from plummeting due to his partial reduction of holdings.

Over there, BYD shopkeeper Wang also breathed a sigh of relief.

He also understood Wang Yi's operation.

Xingyi Technology has just started, and it uses money everywhere, so it is normal to reduce its holdings.

What's more, it is only a partial reduction of holdings. Before the reduction, a large order of 30 million yuan was sent at one time to offset the negative consequences of the reduction.

It can be said that benevolence and justice have been exhausted!
What's more, BYD's stock price has risen 1.5 times because of Wang Yi's investment.

Moreover, Wang Yi also communicated with Shopkeeper Wang about the reduction of holdings. New projects cost too much money. Taking advantage of BYD's current good situation, he partially reduced his holdings to allow Xingyi Technology to relax and start new projects.

When BYD encounters a crisis later and its stock price plummets, Wang Yi will not only not reduce his holdings, but will increase his holdings in the opposite direction!

Shopkeeper Wang was very moved by this promise.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

The last time Wang Yi invested, it was a timely help. When BYD had the most debt, was in the worst situation, and had the lowest stock price, he made a strong investment.

It was Wang Yi's HK$35 billion investment that caused BYD's stock to rebound instantly.

It was also the funds invested by Wang Yi that allowed him to survive the crisis!
Shopkeeper Wang will remember this kindness in his heart.

"I hope there won't be a day when Chairman Wang will need to increase his holdings in BYD again."

Shopkeeper Wang sighed, but he also understood that if the day came, he would have to ask Wang Yi to take action.

When BYD encountered difficulties and its stock price plummeted, no one was willing to help, not even Buffett. As long as he did not take the opportunity to reduce his holdings, it would be fine.

And the only one who is willing to take heavy losses in adversity is Wang Yi!
There were no surprises. When the Hong Kong stock market opened the next day, BYD's stock remained stable.

Not only did it not plummet, but it rose a bit because of the three million-dollar orders.

BYD's OEM is not just assembly. On the contrary, many components are produced by BYD.

Ten million Xingyi mobile phones and ten million Xingyi tablets are not only a large OEM order of 20 million yuan, but also many tens of millions of components, all of which are purchased from BYD.

It can be said that this is a large order worth tens of millions, which can create a lot of revenue and profits for BYD.

By the time the market closed in the afternoon, BYD's share price had risen from the opening price of HK$25.3 to HK$27.1.

Not only did it not drop dramatically, it actually increased a bit.

This made Wang Yi breathe a sigh of relief. Several orders worth tens of millions were not given away in vain!
good results.

Compared with his purchase price of HK$10, it has now increased significantly.

However, there should be another big benefit in February, and BYD's stock price can rise again.

By then, Wang Yi will partially reduce his holdings and earn more.

As for the next gray swan incident, we can only let nature take its course and increase our holdings again when the time comes!
By selling and buying, Wang Yi can not only make huge profits, but also win more BYD shares.

Businessmen, pursuing profits are not shabby.

As long as it's not adding insult to injury, it's okay, not to mention that Wang Yi will provide help when it's time.

That night, another piece of news shocked the entire Internet:
[Baidu strategically invests US$1.2 million in Nuomi.com to enter the army shopping market! 】

Wang Yi clicked on the news:

[Baidu and Renren jointly announced that the two parties have reached a strategic cooperation. Baidu has made a strategic investment of US$1.2 million in Nuomi.com, a subsidiary of Renren.com, to promote group buying. Baidu will acquire 59% of Nuomi.com and completely control Nuomi.com! 】

"It turns out that Nuomi.com belongs to everyone!" Wang Yi suddenly realized.

Speaking of Renren, Wang Yi looked a little complicated.

At the moment, apart from QQ, the most popular social software is not WeChat or Changcha, but Renren!

Renren, also called Xiaonei.com, how young are the youth born in the 80s and 90s!
