Chapter 473 Fighting Consumption in the Internet Era

Chapter 473 Fighting Consumption in the Internet Era

"Hey, in short, we have lost a serious confidant. Su Cheng can't blame others for his own death. Brother Hu, the construction of the third production base over there in Star City is progressing very fast. Let me tell you, I'm going to Production equipment has been ordered."

Chen Jialin came here today to order equipment. Regardless of whether Hu Yang usually worries about the Stone Technology, he will say hello in advance on these major events.

"Okay, just order whatever equipment you need, and just send me a list of equipment later."

Hu Yang nodded and agreed to Chen Jialin's equipment purchase plan.

"Okay, I'll just wait for your words. Well, Brother Hu, I'll go first. Recently, I've been running around Deep Sea Star City, and I'm really busy."

Chen Jialin bid farewell and left, he felt that he had to lose a few catties after being so busy recently.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Liu from the e-commerce company is here."

Not long after Chen Jialin left, Wu Xinhui knocked on the door and walked in, telling Hu Yang that Liu Qiang wanted to see him.

"Oh, please invite Mr. Liu to the reception room, and I'll be there right away."

Hu Yang has not cared about e-commerce recently. Anyway, he has to continue to burn money, and there is no hope of profit for the time being.

He tidied up the documents on the desktop, then got up and went to the small reception room.

"Boss Hu."

Liu Qiang stood up and greeted Hu Yang with a worried look on his face.

"Sit down, Mr. Liu. Assistant Wu, please bring me two cups of coffee."

Hu Yang sat down with a smile, and Wu Xinhui quickly brought two cups of white coffee.

"Mr. Hu, since we got GOTO.COM's search engine technology, the website of JD Mall has undergone several major optimizations. Now the search experience inside and outside the site is very good."

Liu Qiang began to report to Hu Yang on his work during this period of time. In a word, the development potential of the enterprise is unlimited, and the profit has to wait.

"Then what do you think are the main difficulties we are currently facing?"

Hu Yang is satisfied with the achievements made by Liu Qiang, Lin Yan and others.But he would like to hear more about the problems encountered by enterprises in the process of development.

"The difficulty now is to change people's shopping habits. It is a very difficult process. We have also launched a lot of advertising before and increased the intensity of various discounts, but the effect can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

Another big problem is the means of payment. The bank is currently launching online banking, but the customer experience is not very good and security needs to be improved, so the number of customers is growing very slowly. "

Hu Yang agreed with Liu Qiang's two points.

It is indeed not easy to change a person's shopping habits, and the market still needs to be cultivated slowly.The upgrade of the means of payment requires more patience.

"Mr. Liu, Taowang has launched a certain treasure, which is a new payment method developed by themselves. Have you noticed it?"

At this stage, a certain treasure is also a role of soy sauce. If it wants to be widely accepted by people, it has a long way to go.

Liu Qiang showed embarrassment, and said: "I have been paying attention to a certain treasure, but we don't have the research and development conditions yet, and I prefer to cooperate with online banks."

What Liu Qiang said is also true. Everyone is so cautious about shopping, and it will be more difficult for everyone to accept new payment methods that involve their own funds.

Hu Yang nodded, and did not force Liu Qiang to develop something similar to a certain treasure.He remembered that in that time and space, the only thing that could compete with a certain treasure was a prestige payment.But so far, the prestige software of Penguin Empire has not yet come out.

Of course, it is also a good choice to cooperate with online banking at this stage.

"Mr. Hu, YA Tiger has already issued an announcement and plans to acquire Taowang. You also know that YA Tiger is an Internet giant in the world. I am worried that the combination of the two will have a huge impact on us."

After parting ways with Google, YA Tiger already has some sense of crisis.

During this period of time, YA Tiger first acquired GOTO.COM with a price of 27 billion US dollars.Immediately afterwards, it accelerated its negotiations with Ma Baba, preparing to acquire part of the shares of Taowang Group.

This matter put a lot of pressure on Liu Qiang and Lin Yan. After all, compared to YA Hu, the e-commerce company under Hu Yang is still a junior.

"Well, there will definitely be an impact, but it's not as big as you think. Mr. Liu, for you, the most important thing right now is to lay a solid foundation and continue to promote the construction of the website and logistics system. As for the pressure on funds, You don't have to think about it too much, I will solve it for you as appropriate."

Hu Yang can understand Liu Qiang, the current online shopping platform, to put it bluntly, is burning money.In addition to competing for internal strength, the most important thing for competitors is to see who can consume less energy.

The emergence of YA Tiger will inevitably bring new financing to Taowang. This is what Liu Qiang and others are most worried about.

Hu Yang didn't need an e-commerce company to go around raising money, so he took advantage of this opportunity and simply gave Liu Qiang his trust.

"That's great! Mr. Hu, with your words, I will definitely be able to develop the company."

Liu Qiang came to see Hu Yang with anxiety, and now he regained his confidence.For an Internet company, financial support is crucial.

But he still has a little worry in his heart, wondering how much financing Taowang can get from YA Tiger?
Things quickly had an answer.

Ma Baba signed an agreement with YA Tiger, and YA Tiger handed over all the assets of its subsidiary company YA Tiger (Dahua) to Taowang, and at the same time injected 10 billion US dollars into Taowang.

YA Tiger thus acquired a 39% stake in Taowang Group and became the de facto largest shareholder.

This is the largest acquisition of an Internet company in China so far. After Taowang has received a fund of 10 billion US dollars, it has a great opportunity to leave other companies behind.

"Tsk tsk, the international tycoons are really outstanding! Mr. Hu, now the pressure on Mr. Liu and Mr. Lin will be even greater."

Xia Bing came to see Hu Yang that day and also talked about this matter.

After all, the merger between YA Tiger and Taowang has a far-reaching impact, and many people are talking about it during this period.

"Well, if there is no pressure, there will be no motivation. I believe that the two of them will not let me down. Mr. Xia, based on your analysis, how should e-commerce deal with it?"

Huijia Holdings is the absolute majority shareholder of the e-commerce company. Although Xia Bing does not intervene in the company's specific affairs, she still has to worry about the direction.

"I think the time is now ripe for e-commerce companies to raise a new round of financing."

Xia Bing sees it very clearly, whoever survives will win the final victory.The prerequisite for e-commerce companies to survive is to have sufficient funds, which is the same as Taowang.

"Well, I have the shareholding reform plan submitted by Mr. Lin here. Take it back and have a look at it. We'll bring it out for discussion at the next regular meeting of the decision-making committee."

Lin Yan's plan has been submitted to Hu Yang for a long time, and Hu Yang didn't implement it right away, but the timing is just right now.

"Okay, I'll go back and study it carefully. Mr. Hu, the proceeds from the sale of GOTO.COM's equity left 5000 million US dollars in the account of North American venture capital, because we still have some taxes to pay. The remaining 13 [-] million US dollars has been transferred to an offshore company (Huijia Group), so let’s temporarily idle it?”

After the deal with YA Hu was completed, Xia Bing was also in charge of the aftermath.She didn't know what to do with the idle funds of 13 billion U.S. dollars, so she came here to discuss this matter with Hu Yang.

"Don't worry about it, I guess the funds will be used soon."

The e-commerce company will undergo shareholding reform, and Hu Yang intends to introduce offshore companies as new shareholders.This time, he intends to follow Taowang, and the amount of funds injected is probably around US$10 billion.

Xia Bing immediately understood Hu Yang's meaning, and said with a smile: "I should have thought, why is the boss willing to let Taowang compete? Well, I am also worrying about it. Then I will leave. I will see you in a meeting in two days."

Hu Yang got up immediately, sent Xia Bing to the elevator, and then returned to the office.

"Assistant Wu, you can help me call Mr. Ma of Shenhai Tengfei, make an appointment with him, and tell him that I am going to treat him to a barbecue."

Hu Yang wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the shareholding reform of e-commerce to straighten out some things in advance.

And Pony's penguin empire is an indispensable and important part of his plan.

Wu Xinhui nodded and agreed with a smile, but what the hell is eating barbecue?

Generally speaking, the daily diet of Populus euphratica is much more particular than before.It must also be nutritious and environmentally friendly. Foods like barbecue, at least Wu Xinhui has never seen him eat them.

Within 10 minutes after Wu Xinhui turned around and went out, Xiao Ma's call reached the landline at Hu Yang's desk.

"Mr. Hu, you are a lot more arrogant now, this is not good."

"Mr. Ma, you can ask the secretary to notify me if you have something to do in the future. I really don't have any airs, and most of the time I just don't bother to call myself."

The relationship between Hu Yang and Xiao Ma is of course not a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and the two have been together until now.More like friends.

"Well, I can't say no to you. Once you called and asked me to have a barbecue, I knew there must be a big deal. In this way, it is better to hit the sun than to choose a date. See you at Mai Silin's barbecue bar at 06:30 in the evening."

Pony eats barbecue is a stalk, but it is only known to Xiaoma and Populus euphratica, as well as a few entrepreneurial veterans of Deep Sea Tengfei.

At the beginning of Xiaoma's business, it was also poor. The company's New Year's dinner was a barbecue and beer at a roadside food stall.

It seems that the first time Populus euphratica had dinner with Xiao Ma was sitting on the street and eating barbecue?

So, it's a repertoire between the two.

Of course, as the two of them are now, it's not easy to sit on the street to show their eyes, and it's reasonable to find a barbecue with a good environment.

In the evening, Hu Yang came to this barbecue bar on time.

This restaurant specializes in Brazilian barbecue. The decoration and environment are good. The main advantage is that there are private rooms.
