An Expert Is actually By My Side - Chapter 449
“Mr. Liu, I have checked it out.”
Shenzhen Bay Area, Sea Lion Group Building.
Standing in front of Mr. Liu’s desk, the man in formal clothes placed a document on the desk and continued with a deep voice, lowering his head slightly.
“The shareholder behind Kuaiyin APP is Yunmeng Group, which holds more than three-quarters of the shares. The second largest shareholder is Zhang Tao, the former founder of the modern bicycle project.”
Hearing about the modern bike project, Liu Zhiping’s brows twitched violently, as if his scars had been removed.
As the president of a giant in the domestic Internet industry, he has always been very accurate in looking at the industry and people. However, in just one year, he missed the same project twice.
At that time, the Sea Lion Group spent 700 million. The acquisition of Modern Bicycles from Yunmeng Group almost shocked the entire financial world. No one thought that Sea-Lion Group would be able to take over this project that is currently on the cusp from Yunmeng Group at such a low price.
After all, according to the scale of the modern bicycles at the time, it would be worth at least 10 billion if it went on the market, and it would not even be a problem to grow to 50 billion within a few years.
Liu Zhiping was quite proud of that genius acquisition.
However, he hadn’t been proud for a few days before the development of things took a turn for the worse.
First, there were thunderstorms caused by the breaking of the capital chain, which caused the user’s deposit to be unavailable, and then the strict control and supervision at the national level and the tide of withdrawal of deposits from users, which directly led to the closure of a large number of small and medium-sized bicycle sharing companies. , The entire industry has accelerated its decline like an avalanche.
Although modern bicycles withstood the pressure, due to the establishment of supervisory accounts by the China Banking Regulatory Commission and restrictions on the use of deposits, the original snowball-style gameplay of shared bicycles no longer works. The entire project is suddenly reduced from “Internet finance”. Become a “short-term bicycle rental.”
I bought a bicycle rental company for 700 million.
Lao Liu never dreamed that he would become a catcher.
And that precise “topping” also made the Sea-Lion Group and him the laughing stock of the industry.
In fact, if the story ended here, he would have missed it at most once. However, unfortunately, Liu Zhiping once again glanced at Zhang Tao.
To be honest, when he just acquired Modern Bikes, Liu Zhiping didn’t really like the entrepreneur born as a college counselor.
At least in Liu Zhiping’s view, the reason why the modern bicycle project became popular is partly because of Hao Yun’s unique strategic vision, and partly because of the genius financial means of the executive named Lin Jun.
As for the founder teams like Zhang Tao…
It just happened to be standing on the vent, and two real cows were taken to the front of the stage again. Speaking of his only role, I am afraid that it is to provide an idea for sharing a bicycle and complete the development of the initial APP.
However, in Liu Zhiping’s view, these two things can only be said to be general.
At least the development of the Sea-Lion Group to today’s scale does not rely on extraordinary creativity.
It is precisely because of this that, after acquiring Modern Bikes and kicking out the Yunmeng Group, the second thing the Sea-Lion Group did was to airborne more professional executives to replace founders such as Zhang Tao.
However, what Liu Zhiping didn’t expect was that Zhang Tao, who had achieved financial freedom and was supposed to live a life of drunkenness and dreams, unexpectedly ran out to start his own business.
And as soon as he came up, he caused such a big trouble for himself.
“Mr. Liu…”
Looking at Mr. Liu, who was gloomy and silent, the man standing at the desk took a deep breath and whispered tentatively.
“The other party’s shareholding structure is too strong. If it is acquired… I am afraid there is no chance.”
“Yunmeng Group and Zhang Tao will definitely agree to prohibit the private equity transfer agreement, and considering our relationship with them… I am afraid that even if the price is high, the other party may not agree to sell this software to us.”
Although acquisition is the easiest and fastest way, it is also the most unlikely.
Even without considering the tense relationship between Sea-Lion Group and Yunmeng Group, it is impossible for Yunmeng Group to sell its shares due to its good financial situation.
After all, it is not a year ago anymore.
“My suggestion is… it is better for us to also develop a similar short video APP, or simply add a short video function based on the original functions of WeChat.”
Although it is impossible to catch up with the current development speed of Kuaiyin, this is currently the only and most effective choice.
Liu Zhiping, who had not spoken, finally nodded and said.
“Ok.”
“For the time being, it can only be so.”
…
Yunmeng Group Building.
Office of the Chairman.
After listening to what Zhang Tao said quietly, Hao Yun pondered for a moment before speaking.
“You mean… WeChat plans to develop a short video portal?”
“The news I heard is like this.”
When he said this, Zhang Tao’s face was full of nervous expressions.
No way, he has to be nervous. After all, his opponent is the domestic instant messaging giant Sea Lion Group, which has tentacles in almost every field of the domestic Internet.
Not only that, with the powerful imitation ability of the Sea-Lion Group, it is easy to develop a software with similar functions in a short time, and rely on its huge size and flow mang spirit to defeat its competitors.
In fact, just a few hours ago, he received news from the operation department of Kuaiyin app that three apps that had placed advertisements listed them as competing products and planned to terminate their advertising agreement with them.
And according to the information disclosed by a middle-level manager of the Sea Lion Group who has a good personal relationship with him, the Sea Lion Group is currently studying the development of a short video version based on the live broadcast of Dou Mao, whose name is called Dou Mao Short Video.
In addition, I heard that Sea Lion Group plans to add short video functions to WeChat.
This set of combo boxing was obviously rushing to the fast sound, and Zhang Tao’s heart was far more panicked than he looked on the surface.
“Unexpectedly, their reaction was quite fast.”
Nodding thoughtfully, Hao Yun turned the pen in his hand.
“I originally thought that they would have to wait for our official version to go online before they would start thinking about developing competing apps. I didn’t expect them to have already started to act.
Looking at Hao Yun with a calm face, Zhang Tao said with a wry smile.
“How do I feel that you are not panicking at all.”
“Because there is nothing to panic,” Hao Yun smiled faintly, and continued, “We are at least two months ahead of them, and we have formed a complete short video content creation ecology ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ let alone Our advantages in artificial intelligence technology and big data algorithm push.”
“As long as we continue to maintain the current investment, it is almost impossible for them to surpass us.”
After a pause, Hao Yun continued.
“What’s more, I am not unprepared.”
After all, Sea Lion Group is not the first time to follow suit.
As early as when Kuaiyin came out, Hao Yun considered that Sea Lion Group would build a similar APP.
“What are you going to do?” Zhang Tao asked immediately.
Hao Yun said with a faint smile.
“Very short answer.”
“Let our content creators make money, and they will naturally be on our side.”
