Chapter 517: The Bet between Zhang Zhu and Shen Qingning
In 2015, Alibaba was still at its peak.
At this stage, many people on the Internet still call Jack Ma "Papa Ma".
In the Hurun Rich List released this year, he will continue to be the richest man in the IT industry.
No matter from which angle you look at it, Alibaba is a daunting behemoth.
Therefore, after staying up all night and making the decision to "backstab Ali" in his heart, Wang Xin's hands were shaking a little when he lit a cigarette.
There is tension, fear, but also excitement!
This man, dubbed "Little Jack Ma", actually already had a very complete back-stabbing plan in his mind!
Yes, he didn't plan to backstab just once, he planned to backstab repeatedly!
Of course, before that, Wang Xin took one last step to calm down. He planned to go to Alibaba again to have a good talk.
After all, the situation has changed again. [Dianping] and [Are You Hungry] have become more powerful. Penguin's chances of winning are getting bigger and bigger. Can you really stand it? Are you really planning to sacrifice me?
Wang Xin didn't want to become a victim. He had failed in his business nine times in a row.
[Mi Tuan] is now competing for the top spot in the industry, he wants to be the king of the industry!
After working all night, Wang Xin washed his face and set off for Ali.
He actually had already reached a conclusion in his mind, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope about Ali's attitude.
When he walked out of Alibaba's building, Lao Wang looked at the gray sky and thought to himself, "Sure enough."
Alibaba still insisted that MiTuan set Alipay as the only third-party payment channel.
The attitude is very firm and there is no room for negotiation.
It is obvious that Alibaba has also weighed the pros and cons internally.
For Alibaba, this is more beneficial to itself because these things are the foundation of Alibaba.
Wang Xin argued with reason, saying how big of an impact this would have on [Mi Tuan], and how this would affect the group buying battle and the takeaway war, but it still didn't work.
After all, for today's giants, group buying is no longer so important.
Originally, everyone saw the popularity of Groupon abroad and its extremely high valuation, which stimulated the domestic group buying market.
As a result, when the capital was halfway through the fight, they found that Groupon, a foreign company, had failed and did not meet expectations.
Then everyone looked at the domestic group buying market and found that it seemed to be just so-so and not that valuable.
Billions of dollars of capital were wasted, but the customers who took advantage of the situation got the upper hand.
Wang Xin is very clear: "If I hadn't entered the food delivery industry, the value of [Mi Tuan] would be even lower."
At this moment, Wang Xin was accompanied to Alibaba by Murong Jun, the second-in-command of Mituan.
After the two of them got into the business car together, he looked out the window at the magnificent Ali building and sighed, "Ali's attitude is really firm."
"After I hit a wall last time, I knew this would be the outcome." Wang Xin's eyes were deep beneath his glasses.
"Now Dianping has the support of Penguin, social traffic is endless, and the transaction fee of WeChat Pay is also lower. Under this circumstance, we have also set MiTuan to only support Alipay payments. I think we should be mentally prepared for the loss of active users." Murong Jun looked worried.
Ultimately, Alibaba cares more about its own roots and the position of its Alipay in the third-party payment field.
Giving back to Ali at this critical moment in the finals is tantamount to self-sacrifice.
"We don't need to make this kind of mental preparation." Wang Xin's eyes under his silver-rimmed glasses also looked towards the Alibaba Building outside the window.
"Huh?" Murong Jun was stunned for a moment.
"Xiao He, buy us tickets to Shenzhen, the nearest flight." Wang Xin began to instruct his assistant who was sitting in the co-pilot seat.
"Okay, Mr. Wang." Xiao He replied.
"What are you going to do?" Murong Jun had a bad feeling.
He and Wang Xin are too familiar with each other.
He felt that beneath Wang Xin's calm surface, there was a deep sense of madness!
"Go to Penguin." Lao Wang said lightly.
Murong Jun's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.
Okay, this is completely crazy!
But what can he do?
Let’s go crazy together!
The Ali Building outside is so spectacular and majestic.
It is like a terrifying giant standing in front of you.
It's scary.
But there's no use being afraid.
[Mi Tuan], you have to survive.
In Hangzhou, in the office building where Youcha is located.
Shen Qingning came to Cheng Zhu's office and reported to him.
After the report, she also gave Cheng Zhu a message.
"Wang Xin and Murong Jun went to Ali today."
"Oh? How did you know?" Cheng Zhu asked with a smile.
"My dad said so."
"How did uncle know?"
"He didn't say, but he is quite familiar with some people in Ali. I didn't ask." The cold girl answered everything.
Cheng Zhu thought to himself: Okay, Ningning is awesome.
——Ning Bao was awarded a great merit!
The Shen family has been doing business in Hangzhou for so many years, and they must have their own information channels and connections.
Sometimes, the so-called "upstarts" like Cheng Zhu lack this thing the most.
Generally speaking, the Shen family has always had tight cash flow.
But this doesn't mean Shen Guoqiang isn't awesome.
Today, Shen Qingning wore a black Chanel dress with the hem just above the knees, revealing a pair of well-proportioned and straight calves.
She was wearing a pair of flat shoes, but her legs still looked very long.
Now, with her in the company, Cheng Zhu sometimes works more enthusiastically.
If nothing else, at least it's pleasing to the eyes.
At this moment, Ning Ning looked at his expression, frowned slightly, and asked with a cold aura even heavier, "You seem very happy to hear this news?"
"Of course." Cheng Zhu answered immediately.
He turned the direction of his boss chair and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window. Ali happened to be in that direction.
"Mr. Wang is going to run into trouble today, so of course I'm happy." He grinned, his smile was extremely bright.
Shen Qingning: “Are you so sure?”
"What else? This is Ali's character." Cheng Zhu commented on this local giant in Hangzhou.
After saying this, he stopped looking out the window, adjusted the direction of his chair, faced Ningning, and continued:
"In this way, things may really develop in the direction I expected."
Chen Qingning said in surprise: "Are you so sure that [Rice Ball] can get help from the penguins? This doesn't make sense."
"You don't believe it?"
“I don’t think there is such a possibility.”
Cheng Zhu joked in his heart: That's because you don't know how cool this 'Old Wang next door' is!
He thought so in his heart, but said in a very dissatisfied tone: "Why don't you believe this? Do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Dead tsunderes are usually not easily provoked, but Shen Qingning has been bullied by this dog man too many times, so she said: "Tell me what you want to bet on first."
"Wow!" Cheng Zhu was so angry that he laughed. The bet he was talking about was a simple bet that was very common among boys: "If you lose, you call me brother."
He looked very arrogant, with a crooked mouth and a thumbs-up, as if it was a great honor.
"You're sick." The cold girl cursed.
You see, women simply don’t understand the value of the word “brother” in the eyes of us boys!
Damn, this is a top-notch bet, right?
It’s a very heavy portion!
"What if I win?" she asked back.
"Then I'll just call you sister!" Cheng Zhu answered as a matter of course.
Ning Ning said again: "I'm sick."
Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhu spread his hands and said directly: "I don't really care. If I lose, you can do whatever you want."
He looked as if he was sure of victory.
Shen Qingning raised her eyes to look at him, stared at him for a few seconds, and then said, "Okay."
After saying that, she stood up and left Cheng Zhu's office.
Cheng Zhu looked at the back of the leg expert as he left and began to look forward to it.
"With her arrogant and cold personality, wouldn't she want to die if she was asked to call me brother?"
It’s fun, Ning Bao is so fucking fun!
The dog man is already looking forward to this day coming soon, and he feels good just thinking about it.
Boss Wang, who was about to stab Ali in the back, naturally didn't know that he had inexplicably become a part of the bet.
He is now adjusting his mentality.
And what kind of mentality does he have?
This "little Jack Ma" has a bit of Lu Bu's mentality.
Lu Fengxian's classic scene: [A real man lives between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and inferior to others for long]!
I don’t want Ali as my godfather anymore!
However, he was not stupid and knew that he couldn't completely break off relations right away.
In addition, judging from the current situation, even if he wants to join the Penguins directly, it is impossible.
After all, Alibaba participated in the previous rounds of financing.
You smell like Ali, and I, Penguin, won’t accept you.
So, he is not here to seek refuge today, he is here to discuss cooperation.
Wang Xin plans to open a gap first, complete the first step of his plan, and then proceed slowly!
I have to say that at this moment, Mr. Wang is somewhat like the template of the male protagonist in a novel.
Look at what he has been through during this period, and then look at the behemoth he is about to backstab. Even the male protagonist of an urban novel might not dare to write like this!
I, Xinzai, will pay back all the injustices I have suffered in Alibaba!
Arriving at the Penguin Building in Shenzhen, he was once again possessed by Lu Bu, and his real purpose was not much different from Lu Bu's famous scene:
"【I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master. If you don't abandon me, I am willing to be your foster father!】"
Interestingly, when he went to Alibaba’s headquarters in Hangzhou, it was cloudy and the sky was gloomy, making it hard to breathe.
When he came to Penguin, the city was bright and sunny.
After taking a deep breath, Wang Xin took Murong Jun in.
To be honest, the penguins were also quite confused.
Penguin: Who? Who's looking for me?
My younger brother's friendly competitor, Lao Wang, is looking for me to do something?
Penguin is extremely satisfied with the current situation of [group buying] and [takeout].
The strong joining of Yuzu Tea has its own gimmick, and has extremely high popularity and traffic.
When Penguin is investing, it is really willing to invest in all categories. For example, Cheng Zhu invested in Heytea in his previous life.
Penguin is very optimistic about Cheng Zhu.
The young man is very good. Although he is from Hangzhou, he did not stand on Alibaba's side. This alone is very admirable!
At this moment, Cheng Zhu has already shown signs of becoming the number one person born after 1995!
After all, the future belongs to the young.
Goose is looking forward to you~
As a result, Penguin was also a little confused when he met Wang Xinyi.
Hey man, the character "马" in your "Little Jack Ma" can't be the same as my "小马哥" in Shenzhen, right?
'Wang Fengxian' after being possessed by Lu Bu: I made a decision that went against my 'ancestors'!
He went to Pony Ma and brought up one thing: My [MiTuan] wants to introduce Penguin’s WeChat Pay!
Ali: Treason! Treason!
Damn it, we asked you to make Alipay the only third-party payment channel, but not only did you refuse, you even introduced WeChat Pay into it, right?
Brother Xiao Ma doesn’t know what to do here either.
After all, [Mi Tuan]’s mortal enemies are his two adopted sons, [Dianping] and [Are You Hungry?].
Although Penguin now attaches great importance to WeChat Pay as a third-party payment channel and is extremely excited about it, it still feels a little conflicted.
I am not Ali, I am a good godfather who is well-known by everyone!
Most of the adopted sons who follow me are living a comfortable life, right?
If you want money, I will give you money. If you want traffic, I will give you traffic. I only have one request - you must be successful in the future!
However, the payment channel is really amazing and its significance is extraordinary.
Even the giant Penguin hopes that its WeChat Pay can be promoted. The higher the user share, the better, which will bring Penguin to new heights.
So, although Xiao Ma Ge was hesitant, he was willing to listen to what Wang Xin thought.
As for negotiation, let’s talk first!
But what he never expected was that Wang Xin was really crazy at this moment.
To show his sincerity, he stabbed Alibaba in the back right from the start and offered the following condition: As long as WeChat Pay can be introduced, I can move Alipay to the second-level menu!
——Completely crazy!
This is not just about not listening to Ali, this is completely contrary to Ali's ideas.
Not only will I introduce WeChat Pay, I will also let WeChat Pay be above you and ride on your head!
Now even Penguin, which has a good reputation in this regard, can't resist this temptation.
There is no way, this decision is really shit!
He didn't know what Wang Xin was thinking, nor did he know why he dared to fight among himself, but this was definitely the situation he wanted to see.
Firstly, after the infighting between [Mi Tuan] and Ali, there will definitely be rifts and cracks.
Secondly, this will be of tremendous help to Penguin’s payment sector!
Overall, Penguin’s idea is consistent with Alibaba’s, that third-party payment channels are more important.
An adopted son is still an adopted son after all, and I only own about 20% of the shares of [Dianping].
Double happiness, double happiness!
There was no way to refuse Wang Xin’s visit for negotiation this time.
I can only say that he really has a bit of the novel hero in him, he's very cool and brave.
Murong Jun, the second in command of Mi Tuan, was sitting nearby and smelled the madness from his old friend.
This really feels like a broken jar.
It even felt like he was bullied by Ali and then took revenge on him viciously!
The two of them had been chatting on the way here, and he knew Wang Xin's plan.
It can be said that this is really a fight to the death, with no way out.
Introducing WeChat Pay now is just the first step for Boss Wang.
His second step will push Mi Tuan directly to the edge of the cliff!
Either fall into the abyss, or become a young eagle that learns to fly and spreads its wings into the sky!
Boss Wang’s second plan is very simple, which is to spend money like crazy in the coming period of time, as if he were risking his life.
You know, although [Thousands of Group Wars] is famous on the Internet for spending money, Mi Tuan has actually always been quite "stingy".
It took the route of surrounding the cities from the countryside and simply avoided fighting in the early stages.
“No matter how much money we spend, the market share we get in big cities is fake. It’s better to seize the base that belongs to us in small cities!”
His strategic deployment took effect in just half a year.
Later, at a media conference, Lao Wang acted in front of the media in a domineering and pretentious manner that was comparable to the male protagonist in a novel.
He used his computer to open the bank account of Miduan.com, and the balance showed there was still 61,922,122 US dollars!
You have to know that from its establishment to July 2011, Miduan only raised a total of 62 million US dollars.
This means that other competitors are spending investors' money recklessly in big cities, but Miduan, which has already grown to a certain scale, has only spent less than 80,000 US dollars!
This means that after more than a year of burning money, MiTuan has acquired the ability to generate its own revenue!
I didn’t spend much money and I even made back a lot of it.
Spend and earn at the same time, the main point is to do big things with little money.
Therefore, when Murong Jun suddenly heard Mr. Wang talking about spending money, he was stunned.
This goes against Mi Tuan's long-standing strategy. Our main focus is to survive and develop.
What's more, after we stabbed Alibaba in the back, we have no idea whether they will continue to invest money in us and how much they will invest.
So, Wang Xin was really fighting for his life.
"I just want to scare [Comment] in a short period of time! At the same time, confuse him!" Wang Xin said.
Of course, he had a deeper purpose in mind—to merge with [Dianping]!
Yes, he still insisted on merging [MiTuan] and [Dianping].
This is the only way out!
Breaking with Alibaba through a merger, and then turning to Penguin and finding a new godfather!
However, he wanted to take the lead in the merger, he didn't want to be second.
So, now we have to follow the [Comments] and chase him like a mad dog!
We must show the attitude of burning down one of the two companies.
I have no choice now, so I am not afraid of death. It depends on whether you are afraid or not.
"So how much do you plan to spend in a month?" Murong Jun asked.
"One hundred million." Wang Xin replied.
"So many?" Murong Jun was stunned.
"I'm talking about U.S. dollars!"
Just like that, a few days later, a piece of news that shocked the industry came out.
WeChat Pay was introduced by MiTuan, and Alipay was also set as the secondary menu!
When this news came out, it caused a huge earthquake in the industry.
Everyone was stunned and didn't understand what was going on.
Ali was even more furious!
"How dare you, you brat!"
Everyone felt that these past few days had been crazy, as if they were witnessing history.
Most people had not expected such a situation to occur.
The crazy Wang Xin took his rice ball and walked towards the edge of the cliff step by step.
The rest is:
Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death!
What no one knows is that in this grand [Thousands of Groups War] and [Takeaway War], a young man who has only emerged in the past two years has actually played a role in advancing the process.
Zhang Tao from [Dianping] and Zhang Xuhao from [Are You Hungry], as the adopted sons of Penguin, felt their scalps tingling and unbelievable at this moment.
"Godfather, you...ah!!!"
I, your son, am about to go to war, why did your father surrender to the enemy?
However, no matter whether it was Zhang Tao or Zhang Xuhao, they were speechless when they saw Alipay being adjusted to the second-level menu in the [MiTuan] payment interface.
This operation is really too slutty. Just with this slutty smell, even a wise ruler would be seduced into becoming a tyrant!
They are not idiots, and they are very confident that they can pull off such a bold move. It would be impossible for Penguin to refuse to cooperate!
Ever since [Father of WeChat] Zhang Xiaolong and his team spent more than ten days to come up with the "lucky red envelope", relying on WeChat's awesome social attributes, the number of people using WeChat payment has been increasing rapidly every day, and the situation is very good.
The social attributes of Alibaba are too weak, so it is not easy to launch the "Lucky Red Packet" campaign.
This thing still needs to be fought over in the group chat, that's what's fun.
Even since its creation, a new way of gambling has emerged.
In this situation, the Penguins must press on and not miss any good opportunity.
The two had never thought that Wang Xin would be so crazy and dare to stab Ali so blatantly that he would even propose to set Alipay as a secondary menu to discuss cooperation with Penguin!
You beast, that’s Ali, that’s Ali!
How dare you, how dare you!
You are creating discord with your financial sponsor and one of the three Internet giants!
Zhang Tao couldn't figure it out: "Is Wang Xin going to commit suicide?"
"He can indeed turn the situation around temporarily now, but has he completely ignored the future?"
The passionate Hao brother was left speechless.
Zhang Xuhao originally thought that he was extremely passionate, but he didn't expect that there was someone who was even more passionate than him.
Damn it, you, Lao Wang, are the one who makes the blood boil!
The situation was disrupted in an instant, making it difficult for people to see the way forward for a moment.
Everyone felt that a layer of fog was beginning to shroud the entire industry.
After all, Wang Xin is such a famous person, and no one would think that such a person would simply go crazy here and start to do such reckless actions when the situation is only slightly disadvantageous.
——When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
In the next few days, [Dianping] and [Are You Elephant] are destined to have crazy meetings and internal discussions.
There was no way. No one had thought that Wang Xin would go directly to Penguin, and no one had thought that he would put forward such an irresistible condition. He was just being so flirtatious and really facilitated the cooperation between Penguin and Mi Tuan!
As soon as they thought of this, Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao suddenly realized: "No, it's not that no one is here!"
They suddenly remembered a young man sitting on the sofa in his office in Hangzhou. He had a calm expression and an extremely calm tone, and said something that everyone thought was simply out of this world:
"I'm afraid he'll go straight to the penguin!"
(ps: 6,000 words two-in-one, it’s the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket!!!)
