Rebirth Starts at 7 Million

Neither Mr. Li nor Mr. Deng thought that Baidu Taxi would adopt such a large subsidy, and it looked like he didn't care about the cost.

After these years of subsidy wars, it should be clear in the mind of the Internet industry that the burning of money between the Internet industries is actually impossible to gain the loyalty of users.

Take Baidu Takeout, which is currently in full swing. Even Baidu Takeaway now controls more than half of the country's takeaway market, but as long as a new takeout platform appears to give crazy subsidies, and with sufficient funds, it can still sell Baidu Takeaway's users. snatched.

No matter how well Baidu Takeaway operates, it is impossible for users not to take advantage of other platforms.

But on the other hand, once the new platform subsidy is gone, even if billions of dollars have been spent, users will just disappear.

Therefore, burning money to cultivate user habits is just a little psychological comfort to attract investment from giants and to spend a lot of money to seize the market.

The real purpose is actually to consume all other competitors.

Of course, this is a consideration that only a player who has become a chess player has.

Most of the companies burning money in the early stage of establishment are for the purpose of quickly forming a scale, so as to obtain the investment of these chess players.

When Bumblebee was established, the car-hailing platform had already begun to expand its territory in various cities, and Mr. Deng and Mr. Li lost the opportunity.

In desperation, they will take a different path and specialize in conquering a big city. Once they are won, they can tell the most perfect ppt story to the VC.

Everything was going according to their plan.

But they never imagined that Baidu Taxi suddenly went into trouble, throwing money like crazy, and going all out to seize the Shanghai market.

Faced with the well-funded Baidu Taxi, Bumblebee was soon on the brink of life and death.

"How much money do we have in our account?" Mr. Li asked with a slightly changed expression.

"There is still 3 million yuan, which seems to be a lot, but we can't last long in the face of the offensive like Baidu Taxi.

Now we only have two paths to go, either to keep up with Baidu's rhythm of taxi-hailing, and to burn money with all our strength, but if we can't get new financing before the funds are burned out, the company will be completely ruined.

Or we can only hide and wait for the amount of money spent by Baidu to take taxis to drop, and then we will find a way. "

"No, absolutely can't stop." Mr. Li directly rejected the following proposal without thinking.

When it comes to burning money, either you don’t burn it, you can’t stop it if you want to burn it, because if you stop it, then the user will be taken away by others, and all the money before is equivalent to being wiped out.

And more importantly, once you have this behavior, no venture capital firm will consider you, basically giving up the company's future.

Mr. Deng obviously understood the reason, she sighed and said, "Alas! I understand what you mean, but with our funds, if we continue to confront Baidu Taxi like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to last for a week."

President Li was silent for a moment and said, "Have you ever inquired about why Baidu Taxi suddenly burns so much money in Shanghai?"

"I asked, but I didn't hear anything. As far as I know, Baidu Taxi received 25 million yuan from Baidu and Xingyuan before.

But this money is going to be deployed in the urban market of the whole country, and now it is a bit unreasonable to burn so much money in Shanghai. Deng said with a frown.

"No wonder you didn't investigate anything. In this matter, don't look at Baidu Taxi, but look at the capital behind Baidu Taxi." President Li said.

"Baidu and Xingyuan?"

"That's right, the biggest boost for Baidu Taxi to burn money this time is the large number of advertisements placed in Daily Toutiao.

Both Baidu Taxi and Baidu Waimai are both owned by Xingyuan with 40% of the shares, and the remaining 60% is in the hands of Baidu, so strictly speaking, Baidu Taxi and Baidu Waimai are actually subsidiaries of Baidu.

This time, Daily Toutiao spared no effort in helping Baidu to take taxis in Shanghai's promotion, which has its own problems.

As far as I know, Daily Toutiao's advertising space is very popular in the advertising market.

If you want to buy such a wide range of advertisements, you need to make an appointment for a long time in advance.

It is unlikely that Baidu Taxi will buy advertising space so long in advance, and with the status of Daily Toutiao in Xingyuan, a Baidu subsidiary of Baidu Taxi is not eligible to receive such great help from Xingyuan.

To sum up, the only explanation is that this action of Baidu Taxi's listing in Shanghai is the meaning of Xingyuan. They pay for the traffic, so Baidu Taxi will work so hard. "

After listening to Mr. Li's words, Mr. Deng was silent for a moment and then asked, "It's not because Shanghai is the headquarters of Xingyuan, they do this?"

"It is estimated that this is the only possibility. Xingyuan holds 40% of the shares and voting rights of Baidu Taxi, and Baidu Taxi will not accept financing from other capitals like Baidu Waimai. In the end, the two giants Xingyuan and Baidu 100 % holdings.

So in a sense, Baidu Taxi is also Xingyuan's own taxi software, and Shanghai is Xingyuan's headquarters. It is understandable that Xingyuan would make such a move. "

"If this is the case, then we will be in even more trouble!" Mr. Deng said with a wry smile.

If it is Baidu Taxi that transfers funds from other projects to Shanghai, then they still have a certain chance, but if it is supported by Xingyuan, then Bumblebee is definitely a dead end.

"Fighting against Xingyuan, we don't have any chance, even if Xingyuan is not as good as the Big Three, I'm not much worse, let alone one of the Big Three is wearing a pair of pants with Xingyuan.

So there are only two paths in front of us. First, we Bumblebee seek capital injection from other capitals.

The second pair of Xingyuan sold our company. " Mr. Li said in a serious tone.

After listening to Mr. Li's words, Mr. Deng said after a moment of silence: "The only people who can compete with Baidu + Xingyuan are Ali and Penguin, but we don't have any fame now, so why should Ali and Penguin support us?

Moreover, Ali and Penguin invested in Kuaidi and Didi respectively. The development of these two companies is not bad. They would not choose us, right? "

Mr. Deng also understood what Mr. Li said, but online car-hailing is all about propaganda and money-burning. In the future, only with the support of capital will it be possible to win this battle.

Therefore, whoever can get the support of the giants can have a place in the future car-hailing market, which is already the consensus of the car-hailing industry.

The original idea of ​​Mr. Li and Mr. Deng was also the same. First, they would go all out to win Shanghai and defeat other online car-hailing companies in Shanghai. After they became famous, they would have the confidence to seek capital investment.

But now the operation of Baidu taxi has ruined the layout of everything.

"If you don't have a chance, you have to fight for it. If you don't go, it will be a mortal situation." Mr. Li looked at the south and said in a firm tone.

...

Regardless of Bumblebee's reaction, Baidu Taxi has a high subsidy and high publicity strategy, and its listing in Shanghai has been rapidly promoted by the trend of destroying the dead. At the same time, Baidu Taxi also opened the official account of Xingchao.

As long as users follow the official account of Xingchao, they can operate directly on Xingchao without downloading the Baidu Taxi app. The functions are the same as the app, and they can also simply use Xingchao to pay.

Baidu Takeaway Xingyuan did not do this, because Mr. Li needed to use Baidu Takeaway to develop Baidu Nuomi.

Now that Baidu glutinous rice has been made, Mr. Li didn't ask any more questions, so Xingyuan added the function of Baidu taxi-hailing to Xingchao.

This is also Xingyuan's layout for its own ecological chain.

Xingyuan's official account can cover a variety of functions, and users can operate directly as long as they follow it.

In this way, on the one hand, it can prevent Xingchao from becoming bloated and affect the core social functions of Xingyuan, and on the other hand, it allows users to have the right to choose themselves.

Users who need these offline services can follow the official accounts of these needs through Star Chat.

And doing this can also save the memory of the user's mobile phone. Today's Android smartphones may run very fast when they are just bought, but basically start to freeze after half a year, and the memory is not enough, which will also make many people, I don't want to have too many apps on my phone.

Taken together, Baidu Taxi is also a new promotion method.

At the same time, the founder of Hangcheng, Kuaidi's headquarters, frowned after watching the news about Baidu Taxi in Shanghai, and said, "Baidu Taxi is so ruthless in burning money in Shanghai that they are not afraid of affecting their expansion in other cities. ?"

"Mr. Zhang, I feel that either Baidu Taxi has secretly obtained new financing, or Xingyuan has spent another round of financing alone." said Xiao Li, Zhang's assistant.

"It should be, I think the latter is more likely. After all, Xingyuan's Daily Toutiao has spared no effort to divert traffic to Baidu's taxis. Without Xingyuan's nod, how could Baidu Taxi let Daily Toutiao help them like this?"

"Mr. Zhang, you are right. President Chen also analyzed it like this before." Xiao Li said.

"This is all on the bright side, but it's useless for us to guess what the layout of Baidu Taxi looks like.

Now that Baidu Taxi’s expansion in Shanghai can no longer be stopped, I plan to go to Ali’s headquarters tomorrow morning to see if Alipay can directly subsidize users who use Kuaidi.

Otherwise, with so many cities subsidizing, I am afraid that in another two or three months, we will have to raise financing again. "

"But Mr. Zhang, now Alipay is subsidizing food delivery. Can we talk about it at this time?"

"Are you hungry? Haha! The market share of Are You Hungry is not even 20% now, Baidu Takeaway is now a big one, and Boss Ma will choose to give up the food delivery industry, sell Are You Hungry, and then We will fully develop the car-hailing network, and this is our opportunity.”

This is also the case. Ali and Penguin have secretly reached an agreement before. Now Hungry has entered the merger and acquisition process. Will Meituan acquire Hungry with the support of Penguin.

Then Penguin will fully compete with Baidu Takeaway in the food delivery industry.

The online car-hailing market is dominated by Ali and competes with Baidu Takeaway.

Mr. Zhang's previous colleague in Ali had quietly told him this news, so he decided to go to Ali's side.

However, Mr. Zhang is also very clear that once Alipay subsidizes Kuaidi, other online car-hailing companies will do the same. The major Internet giants that are ranking money-burning in the food delivery industry will shift the battlefield of the money-burning war to the online car-hailing market. .

But this is what Mr. Zhang wants to see, because there are too many online car-hailing platforms in various cities, and there are too many uncontrollable ones. If the giants burn so much money, it is enough to clear them out, which is also true for Kuaidi. There are benefits, and you can save a lot of money.

Only in this way, who wins and who loses in the car-hailing industry can only see who is stronger behind the giants.

...

Just as the money-burning war broke out in the Shanghai-listed online car-hailing market, Xingyuan welcomed a special guest.

"Mr. Wang, welcome." In the office, Luo Fan greeted the visitor with a smile.

"It's been two years since we last met Mr. Luo? I didn't expect that Xingyuan has grown to such a scale in just two years. Mr. Luo's vision and decision-making ability are really enviable!"

"Mr. Wang joked that your Meituan is not bad." Luo Fan said with a smile.

That's right, it was President Wang of Meituan who came to visit Xingyuan at this time.

"Mr. Luo, please don't shudder me, Meituan and Xingyuan are not a little bit worse in scale."

Luo Fan didn't want to repeat such meaningless greetings. He asked straight to the point: "Mr. Wang came to me today to flatter me, right?"

Mr. Wang's expression became serious when he heard the words: "I will not hide and tuck Mr. Luo's quick words. I want to buy back the shares of Meituan in Xingyuan's hands."

Luo Fan was a little surprised when he heard the words. He didn't expect that President Wang of Meituan came to buy back shares.

Xingyuan won 25% of the shares of Meituan when Meituan was first established, but it only has the right to dividends and no voting rights.

Now that Meituan has completed the D round of financing, Xingyuan has not followed up with the investment, allowing the shares to be diluted. Now the 25% of Xingyuan's shares have been diluted to 10.4%, and these shares have no voting rights. For Meituan, it should be It doesn't matter.

But today, President Wang actually came over because of these shares, which made Luo Fan a little unexpected.

"Mr. Wang, is your Meituan going to make a big move?" Luo Fan asked tentatively.

"In your opinion, Mr. Luo, our big moves are just petty troubles!"

"That's not necessarily true, and President Wang, your Meituan and Baidu Takeaway are competitors. From our Xingyuan standpoint, the two of us are also considered hostile. At this time, you come to me to buy back your shares. I can't help but think more. what!"

Hearing this, Mr. Wang sighed and said, "Mr. Luo, I really want to repurchase the shares. These shares are useless for Xingyuan to keep them in their hands. How about it's more convenient for Xingyuan?"

"President Wang is joking. I am very optimistic about Mr. Wang's company. I think this 10% stake can be turned over several times in a few years, and it is better to keep it in my hands." Luo Fan said with a smile.

Mr. Wang was silent when he heard the words, and after a while, Mr. Wang asked, "Isn't Mr. Luo listening to my offer?"

"Don't listen, I'm not short of money." Neither Mr. Li nor Mr. Deng thought that Baidu Taxi would adopt such a large subsidy, and it looked like he didn't care about the cost.

After these years of subsidy wars, it should be clear in the mind of the Internet industry that the burning of money between the Internet industries is actually impossible to gain the loyalty of users.
