Rebirth: I Want to Surf

Move the whole network by a single hair!

Yao Yuan now has this qualification.

More and more news confirmed that 99 is really going to do this business, and related companies, big and small, are doing research.

...

Tencent headquarters.

They now have Soso Maps, the predecessor of Tencent Maps, and they will have a meeting to discuss it immediately.

"99 is just getting started, it takes time, we can do it at our own pace.

We have launched the satellite map function. The first batch includes 90 cities, and the ultimate goal is to cover 300 prefecture-level cities and 2,800 districts and counties across the country.

Next, prepare to roll out the real-time location sharing feature.

The location of both parties can be displayed on the mobile phone map. For example, if two people get separated while shopping, they can send a real-time coordinate to each other. "

"Well, this function is very practical, okay, just follow the plan!"

...

Ali headquarters.

I also studied it and decided to wait and see.

They invested in Yitutong in 2010, but it never developed. When AutoNavi became available, they fell in love with AutoNavi—and acquired it in 2014.

So wait and see now.

...

Baidu.

Li Yanhong sneered again and again, as if he had seen Yao Yuan through.

"I knew that he would definitely not let this piece of cake go, but this time he is about to miscalculate. The navigation map is not so easy to make. How long have we been preparing? How long has he been here?"

"So what are we going to do now?"

"Don't worry about 99, AutoNavi and Soso are our opponents at this time. Continue to negotiate with mobile phone manufacturers. We must increase the amount of pre-installation and increase the intensity of advertising, but the most important thing is to reduce the price!"

"Price reduction?"

"Yes, the future trend of navigation maps is to be free, and Yao Yuan must be thinking of free. But it's not needed now, and the price reduction is enough.

After the price is reduced, the exemption will be limited, and the activity will continue to be done, and strive to accumulate users to the highest before 99 admission! "

"clear!"

…………

Gao De.

Cheng Congwu was in a state of being suddenly attacked. It wasn't Yao Yuan, but Baidu had just announced "Big rewards for car owners in midsummer, the navigation app will drop to freezing point, and it only costs 6 yuan to download!"

You know, it was 30 yuan before.

"Baidu is not a son of man!"

Cheng Congwu cursed, and had no complaints against Yao Yuan. He had already made it clear the day he drank, since you don't want to sell it, then I will do it myself.

And I also specifically reminded myself that the Internet is very complicated, and I should be careful of those competitors.

Ouch, Yao is always a kind person!

In short, facing Baidu's attack, Cheng Congwu felt as if he had just entered the Internet circle and was overwhelmed by the price war of capital. I used to do car navigation, how could there be such a thing as a price war?

AutoNavi's annual revenue is only more than 100 million US dollars, and its profit is only 30 million US dollars. What kind of price war is this kind of volume?

But you have to fight!

"They surrender, we surrender too!"

Cheng Congwu gritted his teeth and issued an order, "We will also reduce it to 6 yuan!"

"Cheng Zong!"

"Go!"

…………

Without Yao Yuan's involvement, according to the historical trajectory, Baidu will only launch its efforts at the end of the year, and now it is a few months ahead of schedule.

Both parties suddenly dropped to 6 yuan.

Not long after, Baidu announced again: "Offline map function is provided for free!"

Gothe didn't move, its size was not good enough.

"Last year, AutoNavi Maps became the overall solution provider for Apple's China Maps, and it is currently in a dominant position in the market, accounting for 25.9% of the mobile terminal share, and Baidu Maps ranked second with 19.1%.

However, the growth rate of Baidu map is obvious, and the distance with Gaode is constantly shortening.

Fortunately, AutoNavi's main income does not depend on mobile phones, but on car navigation. This may give AutoNavi some breathing space, allowing him to have the capital to cultivate new businesses and fight fiercely with Internet companies! "

The media is quite confident in AutoNavi and believes that it has the strength to fight.

Cheng Congwu wanted to scold the public. He resisted all opinions and let AutoNavi transform to the mobile terminal. He made a comprehensive plan for the mobile terminal, but now he is forced to fight a price war with Baidu. Is there still room for breathing?

…………

"Hahaha!"

In Yingshi Building, Yao Yuan couldn't help laughing while watching the news. It's too much effort to make the map by yourself, why not buy it directly, what if Gaode doesn't sell it, then find a way to let it sell it!

No matter how bad Baidu is, it is also Baidu, and it is not comparable to high morality.

At this time, Jiang Chao asked: "Our company has been registered, and how many people have been recruited, should we continue?"

"Go on, didn't I tell you, everything is true!"

Yao Yuan leaned on the seat, crossed his legs, and said: "They are fighting a price war, and AutoNavi can last for a while. If they can't last, they will naturally come to me. When I succeed in the acquisition, these recruited people will either be dismissed or transferred to other jobs. It's easy to deal with.

Oh, by the way, pay attention to their dynamics and make them nervous at all times. If there is a trend of relaxation, you can let it out and say that we will occupy the market in 2 years and make it all free, and the era of free navigation will be in the future! "

"good!"

Jiang Chao admired it on the surface, but he didn't know how to complain in his heart.

This is the Thirty-Six Strategies for Stirring Shit!

In fact, this is also based on strength. If the deterrence of 99 is not to this level, no matter how much it is disturbed, it will not be disturbed.

Historically, Alibaba will be listed in the United States in 2014.

In order to maximize the IPO and push up the stock price, in 2013, the investment department headed by Cai Chongxin carried out a series of measures.

These include:

Acquired an 18% stake in Sina Weibo for US$586 million.

Acquired 28% of AutoNavi for US$294 million, and completely acquired AutoNavi in ​​the following year. AutoNavi became a subsidiary of Ali, and completed privatization and delisted from the US stock market.

Following Ali, he won UC Youshi again.

He Xiaopeng, the founder of UC Youshi, later founded Xiaopeng Motors. And its president, Yu Yongfu, was recruited by Ma Yun and became the president of AutoNavi.

Everyone knows that Tencent rarely intervenes in investment or acquisitions. If you do what you want, just make money for me and that's it.

Ali is another style. We must get rid of the founder of this company, and then incorporate this company into our own ecosystem.

Cheng Congwu encountered this fate. After AutoNavi was acquired, his title was CEO consultant. Note that he is not CEO, but consultant. It was right to humiliate people, so he left knowingly, and there was no news after that.

But now that Yao Yuan is making trouble, first of all, Gao De must be in his pocket.

Secondly, whether Ali will acquire Sina Weibo is another question. After all, Sina Weibo is not the leader now, ranking below 99, competing with Tencent for the second place.

In later generations, an executive of Alibaba named Jiang Fan, known as the third-generation successor, was suddenly exposed to a sex scandal on Weibo, and immediately became a trending search, but the trending search suddenly disappeared.

Obviously pressed.

As a result, several departments approached Weibo for interviews on the grounds of “disturbing the order of online communication and disseminating illegal and illegal information.” This matter was regarded as an official attack on the public opinion platform, because Ali is the major shareholder…

Yao Yuan doesn't take it seriously, he knows better than Lao Ma what the scale of the Internet is.

Maiwo Weibo has not accepted any investment, and has no plans to go public, and all the shares are in its own hands—a public opinion platform! It's too cheap to sell to anyone. If the day comes when he has to sell it, he will give it away directly.

"ha!"

Yao Yuan yawned, anyway, let Gothe stand up first, and see how long it lasts.

Everyone knows that Mr. Yao is not a person who picks things up, he kills and buries, he is very kind.

(no more...

I went to the hospital, it was eczema, and I spent a total of 37 yuan, a little bit...)
