Rebirth: I Want to Surf

QR codes are banned, and everyone continues to compete in the ecosystem.

Theoretically, the 99 series, Ali series, and Tencent series each have their own kingdoms, but one of the products is quite special, which is Meituan.

Last year, Yao Yuan took a strong stake in Yuetuan, backed by US$400 million, and launched flash promotions to seize the market. Wang Xing ran to Hangzhou to beg Ma Yun for help, but Lao Ma refused.

Wang Xing asked Shen Nanpeng for help, and Shen Nanpeng was also very helpful and brought in a new investment.

At the time of the QR code turmoil, Meituan suddenly announced: "Meituan has completed the third round of financing, led by General Atlantic Capital Group, with a total of 250 million US dollars, accounting for 13.3% of the shares!"

Composition of shares after investment:

Wang Xing and the entrepreneurial team, 50.1%

Sequoia Capital, 21.4%

Ali, 15.2%

Pan Atlantic, 13.3%

That is to say, even if Ali follows the investment, it cannot avoid the dilution of shares.

...

Yuetuan.com.

Lei Jun sat in his office and had been studying the news.

In the fight last year, his judgment was: Tencent would help Dianping, and Ali would help Meituan. The result was half right, but Ali didn’t expect Ali to ignore it.

What's more interesting is that Lei Jun is holding a mobile phone and watching the latest version of the Meituan app.

Just place an order, and then on the payment page, there used to be only one way - Alipay, but now it has become QQ payment!

Alipay has gone to the bottom and is still hidden. You have to click on "Choose more payment methods" to see Alipay.

What this means is self-evident.

Meituan and Ali broke up, and Meituan has the meaning of leaning towards Tencent.

"..."

Lei Jun was in a mood of agitation, so he lit a puff of smoke, and it disappeared before he knew it, so he lit another one casually.

He is very addicted to smoking, averaging a pack of cigarettes a day. Once he accidentally set the carpet on fire, quit for a while, then smoked again, quit again, over and over again.

When I quit smoking, I used Coke instead, so there is a special cabinet for Coke in the office, and the logos are all facing outwards, neatly obsessive-compulsive.

"call!"

He exhaled smoke, if Meituan really fell to Tencent, Yuetuan would be in danger!

According to the normal way of thinking, if Meituan and Dianping are united, then Yuetuan will also have to find a helper, and should go to Baidu for cooperation. But Lei Jun is not an ordinary person, he has the strength and structure to support the first level alone.

First of all, he is unwilling to cooperate with Baidu. In that case, the group buying will have to fall into a fierce battle again, and he does not want to fight fiercely.

Secondly, Meituan and Ali had a quarrel and did not completely turn to Tencent. If Yuetuan can take the opportunity to swallow each other, it will definitely win the final victory.

Lei Jun thought for a long time and made two phone calls.

One for Yao Yuan and one for Shen Nanpeng, for dinner in the evening.

…………

"How are you doing in Hong Kong?"

"Well, pay attention to your body and don't get tired. The road show is just a fool's errand. Grapefruit Street is not a big product. Investors know it well."

In the evening, Yao Yuan was on the phone with Yinyin in the car.

Yinyin took Dai Hanhan there. Today in Hong Kong, Yuzi Street is not like Maiwo Internet or shopping malls. The value is there, and the process is relatively simple.

If it will be much higher in later generations, like Xiaohongshu, the highest valuation is 20 billion US dollars.

After making the phone call, Xiao Mo suddenly asked: "Boss, I heard that Xu Zheng's new movie is going to be shot in Hong Kong, is it true?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"I love watching "Lost in Thailand" the most, and I also love watching Hong Kong movies. If he wants to shoot in Hong Kong, then I will go one-way, and I will definitely support it when the time comes."

"You support me! When the time comes, you will watch it with us in the VIP hall, and you don't even need to buy a ticket..."

Yao Yuan cursed, and then replied: "It should be in Hong Kong, the 囧 series, this one might be called "Hong Kong 囧"."

"Hey, "Lost in Hong Kong"! It sounds fun. It's best to find some Hong Kong stars to play it."

Xiao Mo laughed stupidly a few times.

And Yao Yuan thought about what Yu Jiajia told him, "Lost in Hong Kong" seems to be planned to start in the summer, and it is still in preparation, the framework is already in place.

After a while, when Yao Yuan arrived at the appointed hotel, he went into a private room, and Lei Jun and Shen Nanpeng were already sitting in it.

"Old Shen!"

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

"You're too busy, I can't even make an appointment with you for dinner, today is Mr. Torre's blessing."

When Golden Harvest was acquired, Yao Yuan and Shen Nanpeng had a honeymoon period, and they often visited each other. Afterwards, they had little business interaction, and indeed they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Sit, sit all, it's polite to be so familiar!"

Lei Jun is in charge of the dinner today, controlling the rhythm, ordering food and wine.

"Hey, I heard that we are going to hold the World Internet Conference?" Shen Nanpeng started.

"Well, I've been approached, and I got a proposal, where did you hear about it?" Yao Yuan said.

"Brother Xiao Ma told me that the Cyberspace Administration of China has also approached him. He proposed to do it in Guangdong. Are you willing to propose it in Beijing?"

"Of course, my own territory is the most comfortable, not to mention that this kind of thing is closely related to the local government. Lao Ma must have proposed to be in Zhejiang Province... Don't talk about this, it's not a thing that has been filmed yet."

Yao Yuan didn't want to talk about it, so he turned to Lei Jun and asked, "Why are you interested in having dinner with us today?"

"Come and try this Peony Fried Stuffed Snake Preserved, Chaozhou cuisine, real snake..."

Lei Jun turned the table to let the two have a taste of the specialty dishes here, and then startled them by speaking: "I am looking for you to study the feasibility of acquiring Meituan."

puff!

Shen Nanpeng choked and said, "Are you serious?"

"Of course it is true. You are a shareholder of Meituan. Do you think it is possible?"

"Theoretically yes!"

Shen Nanpeng saw that it didn't seem like a joke, and said: "But Meituan is valued at 2 billion US dollars. Do you have so much capital? Even if you have, shareholders may not sell it. Now that the food delivery market is booming and it has just raised funds, Meituan is I want to do a big job."

"The so-called big work is to take refuge in Tencent?"

Lei Jun smiled and asked: "Meituan has linked QQ payment on it. I guess you are in the middle of contacting. After all, you also have shares in Dianping."

"Business, you should understand."

Shen Nanpeng did not deny it.

"I understand, but don't you think we also have an advantage? If Meituan falls to us, it will definitely end the competition as soon as possible. Groupon has been fighting for 5 years, and you still want to fight?"

"..."

Shen Nanpeng put down his chopsticks, pondered for a moment, and said, "I admit, I am very moved by your proposal. But Wang Xing is a very assertive person, and their team has 50.1% of the shares. As long as they don't want to sell, you still don't Way to buy."

"So I invite you to discuss it!"

Lei Jun poured wine for him with a smile, and said: "Tencent has 20% of Dianping's shares, and the support is strong, so it's not easy to leverage.

The Meituan and Ali quarrel is a good opportunity, no matter what method is used, whether it is an acquisition or a merger, as long as it can swallow Meituan..."

He paused, and said lightly: "I personally, I will give you shares!"

(besides……)
