Rebirth: I Want to Surf

"..."

Ma Yun was drinking his favorite Pu-erh tea, not as sharp and sharp as the speech, he seemed slow, and said: "Alipay is indeed upgrading, they have advantages, 6-digit password, we will learn from it.

The upgrade was completed soon, and a quick payment method was also adopted. "

"..."

Wang Xing was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought there was a door.

Unexpectedly, Lao Ma said again: "But I'm sorry, we can't make products like Shine Hui."

"Can you tell me why?"

Wang Xing was in a hurry.

"This is a problem of nature. Shanhui first receives the discount in Yuetuan, and then pays with Weichat. Alipay does not do this. We are used to sending some red envelopes after users pay to promote their next purchase.

I want to ensure that the first thing the user opens is Alipay. "

Simply put, Ali does not want users to receive discounts on other platforms first, and then use Alipay as a third-party software to pay.

Because Alipay itself is a large platform with all kinds of functions, Ali hopes that all operations of users can be performed on it, so as to ensure the daily activity data of Alipay.

"But, Meituan can expand the application scenarios of Alipay!"

Wang Xing is still fighting.

"I know, but our strategy is a large system with Taobao and Alipay as the core, and all products must serve this system. I don't need to care about the experience of Meituan users."

Lao Ma continued to take his time, then glanced at him, and said: "If Ali buys Meituan wholly, you will also be in this system, and we are a family."

Click!

Wang Xing's little heart was completely cold, and his emotions fell to the bottom.

This is exactly the battle of ideas that has been said many times. What Tencent is doing is like asset light. I can invest, and I will give you resource support if I invest, so that everyone can make money together.

What Ali does is like heavy assets. I will definitely control you in my hands. We are a family. Of course, Ali also has a lot of investments, but they can't be acquired, so they can only invest.

It may be difficult for outsiders to understand, wouldn't it be enough to change this thing?

But the fact is, Ali is the style.

"I, I'll think about it."

"sure!"

"Then I won't bother you."

Wang Xing left Ali's headquarters in despair, and returned to the hotel. After his emotions subsided, anger and unwillingness followed.

He finally understood that Ali did not regard Meituan as a partner at all, but only as a tool.

"..."

After thinking for a long time, he called Shen Nanpeng and explained the situation.

Shen Nanpeng voted 2 rounds for Meituan and 4 rounds for Dianping, and has a lot of shares in both. At this time, Shen Nanpeng's role status was revealed.

He was also silent for a long time, and made a suggestion: "Do you want to consider merging Meituan and Dianping?"

"merge?"

"Yes, in this way, you are the largest group buying platform, and you have a great chance of defeating Yuetuan."

When Shen Nanpeng said this, it was naturally for Sequoia, and it was actually a good solution.

But Wang Xing is not reconciled!

"If I switch to Tencent, how can I face Ali's revenge?"

"If I agree to the merger, who will control the situation in the future? Me or Zhang Tao? How can you be sure that Yue Tuan will not make any moves? What if they join forces with Ali? Do we still have to fight?"

Shen Nanpeng couldn't answer Wang Xing's series of questions immediately, and said, "Then what do you want to do?"

"What I need most now is money! Even if I want to merge, Ali still has so many shares, I have to dilute them, right?"

"I will solve the financing problem, and I will introduce new institutions."

Shen Nanpeng has a good relationship with everyone, but don't mention the actual interests with anyone. The world is big, and his own interests are the greatest. He asked again: "If you get the financing in place, what new strategy do you have?"

"I want to focus on the food delivery market! I think food delivery is a huge blue ocean, and now is the right time to enter. A few months ago, I sent someone to contact Ele.me, but they refused to buy it.

I have been preparing for various tasks and want to launch Meituan Waimai! "

Wang Xingdao.

"takeout……"

Shen Nanpeng pondered for a while, and said: "Okay, I will find funds for you!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xing heaved a sigh of relief.

I am betting on myself!

If it wins, it can reverse the situation of Meituan in one fell swoop. If it loses, it really wants to merge with Dianping, and the negotiation will be more confident.

...

Peach Blossom Island.

Lao Ma also thought about it for a long time in his office, but still insisted on the decision just now.

He may be aware that Ali's model is flawed, but he has acted in this way for many years, the whole group has done so, and he can only do so for various reasons.

The pressure brought by Weichat payment is great, but Lao Ma has his own ideas.

In addition to using Alipay and acquiring products to expand the application scenarios, there is another indispensable and even bigger market space: offline payment!

Regardless of how the Internet develops, consumption in life will last forever.

The only thing that has changed is whether people pay with cash or with mobile phones.

Both 99 and Ali have launched QR code services. This is a new thing. It has nothing to do with the ecosystem, but has something to do with daily necessities. Everyone has the same starting point.

Lao Ma thinks that he can use the QR code to seize the offline space to fill in the deficiency of his own ecology!

In short, everything is undercurrent.

Yuetuan has 99 and Weichat payment, Dianping has Tencent and QQ payment, and Meituan has separated from Ali...

In the second half of 2013, the Internet giants broke out on the two online groups of group buying and payment, and there were not many takeaways. Except for Yao Yuan, Wang Xing was probably the only one.

Wang Xing is also an underrated player.

His foresight to grab the attention is very accurate, Xiaonei.com and Fanfou.com have proved this point, but he was just unlucky.

………………

Zhongguancun, an office building.

In the office area with the "Yuzi Street" sign, hundreds of employees are busy, with a male to female ratio of 4:6.

Grapefruit Street focuses on women's platforms, with three core businesses: one is e-commerce shopping guide, from which commissions are drawn; the other is brand sales, which is currently the main revenue method; and the third is the community.

It is not very eye-catching among the vast Internet products, but among female Internet users, its influence is growing.

More importantly, Grapefruit Street is not losing money, but has already made a profit!

Mushroom Street + Vipshop + Xiaohongshu will take on the important task of "online women's restroom" in the future. Yao Yuan and his wife are determined to be the septic tank of the domestic Internet.

"..."

In the president's office, Yinyin has been talking on the phone for a long time.

She doesn't wear high-heeled shoes in the company, at most, she wears low-heeled leather shoes, which can still show her style. At this moment, she was just hanging on the corner of the table casually, her long legs could slump to the ground, a pair of white sneakers rubbed back and forth on the floor, and then stopped suddenly.

"good!"

"Okay, that's it!"

She hung up the phone.

Dai Hanhan kept staring and asked, "Are you sure?"

"confirmed!"

"Then announce it?"

"Of course it's announced!"

"I'll write it!"

Dai Hanhan was sitting in front of the computer in a desperate manner, and Xiaopang typed a short internal announcement with crackling hands, and then sent it out.

Not long after, I heard cheers outside.

"Finally submitting the IPO!"

"It's going to be listed!"

(no more...

Ask for a monthly ticket, double the price! )
