Chapter 574 Top Entrepreneurs
Cheng Zhu knew very well that if [Are You Hungry] wanted to take over [Baidu Takeout], it could only turn to Bao Fan, the king of mergers and acquisitions.
2015 was Bao Fan’s peak period.
During this period, he was really awesome.
His influence in the domestic Internet sector is terrifyingly great.
His network of relationships can be described as terrifying.
"Given Baidu's usual behavior, it would probably be difficult to let others operate it." Cheng Zhu was very clear about this.
After all, according to the normal trajectory, Baidu Takeout has the ability to keep raising prices, and eventually succeed in its own destruction and sell itself off at a low price.
Cheng Zhu didn't want to see such a situation happen.
Of course, if it wants to quickly take over Baidu Takeout, the price at this stage will definitely not be low.
But it's definitely worth the money!
At this stage, whoever acquires Baidu Waimai will have the opportunity to become the king in the O2O field! The chances of winning will be even greater!
Cheng Zhu knew very well that in his previous life, it was Ele.me that eventually acquired Baidu Takeout.
But by then it was too late.
Baidu Takeout can only be sold at a low price because it is no longer important, can no longer influence the direction of the battle, and is no longer qualified to be sold at a high price.
For Hungry?, taking over Baidu Waimai is just a last-ditch effort.
"What I'm doing is actually good for everyone," Cheng Zhu thought.
Gong Zhenbin no longer has to sell at a low price, Zhang Xuhao no longer has to lose, and Boss Bao will not be without projects to work on.
Great, great, everyone is happy!
"Oh, forget about Lao Wang. Wang Xin is definitely going to get hurt."
"But, so what?" Cheng Zhu certainly didn't care.
Under normal circumstances, as Cong Lin said, this call should be made by Zhang Xuhao.
"But I just want to give back to Boss Bao for his appreciation of me!" the dog man thought.
If I ruin one of your projects, I will give you another one later.
How about it, Boss Bao, am I being nice enough?
What's more, this also expresses a side view.
In this matter, I can represent [Are You Hungry] with full authority!
Magic City, Huaxing Capital.
Bao Fan sat in the chair in the office, lost in thought.
Cong Lin and Du Yongbo sat aside, not saying a word, not daring to disturb them.
From Bao Fan's perspective, he could indeed feel that Cheng Zhu was making a statement.
"Good boy! He laid everything out in the open!" Bao Fan thought.
Previously, Cheng Zhu, an inconspicuous character, turned the whole situation around. In fact, Bao Fan also knew about it from the side.
For example, through the mouth of Long Wei, the [commentary] traitor.
But today, Cheng Zhu's call was like walking directly from behind the scenes to the front of the stage!
[Comments] and [Are you hungry?], now I am in charge!
But Bao Fan is a man with a strong sense of martial arts, and Cheng Zhu's spirit is just what he likes.
After a long while, he looked up at Cong Lin and Du Yongbo and said with a smile, "Didn't I say before I answered the phone that this young man is very interesting?"
"Why does he think that [Are you hungry] and [Baidu Takeout] can succeed?" Cong Lin felt that this was not a question of whether it was interesting or not.
It's a bit confusing.
And why does he think the boss will take action?
However, Bao Fan said the next moment: "I think it can be done!"
After hearing this, Cong Lin and Du Yongbo were both stunned.
Cheng Zhu has his own spirit, and Bao Fan undoubtedly has it too.
He looked at the two of them and said, "This year is very special, both for me and for Huaxing Capital."
“Just the merger of [Didi] and [Kuaidi] is far from enough.”
"We at Huaxing still need to make some big moves!"
"Every outlet must leave the mark of Huaxing!"
"This is the only way we can maintain our influence in the domestic Internet sector."
Cong Lin opened his mouth and said after a long while: "But, this is not easy to operate, right?"
"What's so difficult about it?" Boss Bao smiled easily. This level of difficulty was nothing to him.
He is also familiar with Baidu and knows their consistent style.
Relatively speaking, the difficulty coefficient of [Are you hungry?] and [Baidu Takeout] is lower than the merger of [Dianping] and [Mituan].
Because among the latter, there is a rivalry between Penguin and Ali.
If Wang Xin hadn't stabbed me in the back, there would have been no way to reach an agreement!
He was persuaded by Wang Xin to be the middleman because Wang Xin had already made up his mind to betray Alibaba, which made him feel that this matter could succeed.
But Baidu Takeout is different.
Everyone knows who has fallen behind among the BAT Big Three.
Bao Fan was confident that with his own means, the probability of accomplishing this task would not be low!
He can do it, and only he can do it!
However, Bao Fan was indeed quite surprised.
"He actually thought of asking me to handle [Baidu Takeout]?"
"Would you ever think of letting [Are You Hungry] eat [Baidu Takeaway]?"
Boss Bao was very curious, was it a sudden idea of Cheng Zhu or was it a premeditated one?
"If it's the latter, then this young man is really a bit scary."
This is not what a sophomore should think!
After pondering for a moment, Bao Fan began to demonstrate his efficiency and directness.
He picked up his phone and immediately called Cheng Zhu back.
In the past, he always called Cheng Zhu "Xiao Cheng" when they met or on the phone.
But this time, due to the change in the relationship, his name also changed.
"Hey, Mr. Cheng, we at Huaxing have accepted this project!"
Magic city, are you hungry?
Zhang Xuhao put down his phone and ended the call with Cheng Zhu.
He was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly stood up from the chair, and punched in the air in the office in an extremely childish way, hitting several times in a row!
The passionate Hao brother was so excited that he really couldn't hold back the urge to let out a passionate roar!
Just now, Cheng Bi Wang only said two words to him indifferently on the phone.
"It's settled."
This gave Zhang Xuhao an instant sense of dream!
Really took over? Bao Fan actually took over?
He still remembers that when Cheng Zhu first mentioned to him about eating Baidu Takeout, he felt like he was listening to a fairy tale.
At that time, he directly transformed into Benboerba in Journey to the West. He felt that this matter was as unreliable as asking himself, a little monster, to get rid of Tang Seng and his disciples.
But as Cheng Zhu fanned the flames again and again, Zhang Xuhao's mentality began to visibly "expand"!
He began to see a little possibility!
But if we think rationally, there are still great difficulties here, and it is likely to be a long process.
Once the time is extended, many variables may arise.
By then, how big the benefits of acquiring Baidu Takeout will be may become an unknown.
However, Cheng Zhuzhen invited Bao Fan!
"The last time I heard him say this, I was thinking: Is this human language?"
"I just think he's showing off!"
"Shit! He actually managed to make it happen?"
Zhang Xuhao's mind was filled with the word "incredible".
In fact, because Cheng Zhuzhong chose the nodes so well, fortunately this year is the 15th year, which is the most special year for Bao Fan and Huaxing.
At this moment, the passionate Hao Ge began to pace in his office.
"The advantage is mine! The advantage is mine!"
He now really feels that he has grasped the turning point of the [Takeaway War]!
Although Cheng Zhu had given him a heads-up and told him that the price to pay would be high, Zhang Xuhao was no fool and knew that the opportunity could not be missed!
"It's just a matter of how much money you have!"
"I have Penguin Capital and RedMountain Capital behind me, how can I be short of money?"
Now, Wang Xin has made peace with Ali, and after apologizing for his crimes, he has become more honest.
In the long run, this is definitely not a good thing for Mi Tuan.
But at least Mi Tuan is not short of money now.
This means that Wang Xin has returned to his previous state where he could fight two people alone!
Just by spending money, Hungry? and Dianping can’t do anything to Miduan.
On the contrary, the Mi Tuan, which has become rich again, can take back all that it has lost!
This meant that although Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao had been mentally prepared, they had no choice but to enter into another long-term tug-of-war.
But our military advisor actually performed another amazing move on the chessboard!
"Absolute! Absolutely amazing!"
Zhang Xuhao immediately called all the co-founders of his "Jiaotong Gang" to his office.
He wants to share this good news with everyone, and then everyone will sit together and plan it carefully!
"I have to go to Shencheng again tomorrow."
Papa Ma must meet him.
Kang Jia, Ye Feng and others came to Zhang Xuhao's office excitedly and listened to his story. They were confused at first, and then they couldn't help shouting loudly!
This young team, jokingly called the student army by Wang Xin, showed the youthful vigor at this moment.
The office's soundproofing was pretty good, but it couldn't cover up the loud shouts!
This has caused many people in the company to fall into a state of confusion.
At first, Zhang Xuhao insisted on letting Cheng Zhu invest, which Kangjia and Ye Feng didn't quite understand.
Now, they are really convinced by this college student!
Zhang Xuhao still felt a little dazed. When they talked about Cheng Zhu, he smiled and said, "Why do I remember that I first went to find him as a merchant and wanted to be the exclusive merchant on our platform?"
He himself could not have imagined that he had gotten a military advisor out of nowhere!
Ye Feng's tone was still unable to conceal his excitement: "With Bao Fan joining us, this matter is really promising!"
"I didn't expect that Bao Fan would actually help us out!"
Zhang Xuhao nodded, but still emphasized again in front of several co-founders that Cheng Zhu made great contributions.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered a sentence.
"You know, I read the New York Times report on Bao Lao Da's Huaxing last year, and I was deeply impressed by what he said later."
"Which sentence?" Kang Jia asked.
"He said that China Star Capital's vision is to find these truly top entrepreneurs, build relationships with them in the early stages of their business, and accompany them throughout their growth and expansion."
After Zhang Xuhao finished speaking, he paused and looked around at everyone.
"I don't think we are the people that Boss Bao is referring to."
"But Cheng Zhu might be!"
