"What do you think, Mr. Fang?"
Gao Yan looked at Fang Zhenzhen and asked.
Fang Zhenzhen said, "Tencent has always wanted to create its own online mall, but it has failed every time. If I'm not mistaken, they've set their sights on us and want to devour us!"
Currently, DaXia's network has three major systems: the BD system, the AL system, and the Penguin system.
However, Gao Yan knew that in the next few years, BD would rapidly decline and be replaced by the Toutiao system.
One characteristic of the Tencent ecosystem is its penchant for acquisitions, mergers, and copycatting.
Once a penguin sets its sights on a company, it will choose to acquire it directly. If the company refuses, it will offer to invest in it, gradually increasing its stake until it completely swallows the company up and turns it into a subsidiary.
If you choose neither, Tencent will suppress you while developing products similar to your company, and eventually use the traffic brought by QQ and WeChat to overtake you and crush you!
As for the AL series, they are different from the penguin series; they all possess a mysterious self-confidence.
When they set their sights on a company, they'll wave a lot of money to acquire enough controlling shares, and then send in executives to replace the original management team.
In the end, his poor leadership and the fact that an amateur was leading a professional turned what was originally a company with unlimited potential into a garbage company!
In short, those who are targeted by penguins and AI never have a good ending.
Of course, there are exceptions.
The future Toutiao ecosystem was also targeted by Tencent, but the boss of Toutiao was a stubborn young man who refused to give Tencent any face, which ultimately led to Tencent blocking the entire Toutiao ecosystem.
It is also Kuaishou, a competitor that invests in Douyin.
As a result, Kuaishou turned out to be a hopeless case. Although its development was decent, it still lagged far behind Douyin.
Although Fang Zhenzhen did not say it explicitly, she was resistant to Tencent's investment.
As for Gao Yan, he was also unwilling to let Tencent invest in him. After all, the entire Tencent Group is currently only worth 200 billion US dollars, while his system has 3 trillion yuan lying around that he doesn't know how to spend.
They don't need to worry about Penguin's money at all.
As for traffic channels, Tencent's QQ and WeChat channels are indeed very dominant and hard to resist.
But if you want Penguin to support you, you have to agree to their investment.
It's important to understand that the future traffic channel will be Douyin, and Douyin is still a newcomer, while the Toutiao system isn't much stronger.
How about we consider investing in Toutiao?
A short while later.
Gao Yan led Fang Zhenzhen to the reception room.
Zhang Daming's arrival was not high-profile; on the contrary, it was rather low-key, as he only brought one assistant.
"Hello, Mr. Gao, I am Zhang Daming. I've heard so much about you!"
Zhang Daming did not act arrogantly; on the contrary, he appeared humble and enthusiastic, after all, the man in front of him was a formidable figure who had spent tens of billions in a fit of anger.
Although he arrived as a wealthy patron, he couldn't afford to be arrogant in front of such a formidable person.
"Mr. Zhang, you're too kind. Please have a seat!"
As the saying goes, everyone carries a beautiful sedan chair, and Gao Yan responded enthusiastically. Although he did not intend to let Penguin invest, there was no need to speak ill of him.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two sides sat down and started chatting.
We discussed the domestic economy and the development of the internet industry.
Gao Yan rarely spoke during this time, but Fang Zhenzhen and Zhang Daming got along quite well. Of course, Zhang Daming also praised Sunday Mall quite a bit during this time.
About half an hour later, Zhang Daming changed the subject: "President Gao, President Fang, if I may be so bold, your Sunday Mall's development has reached a bottleneck!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Yan couldn't help but chuckle to himself. It was just like the strategist in Romance of the Three Kingdoms who would praise you upon first meeting you, and then suddenly say that your death was probably imminent!
Simply put, it involves creating anxiety and panic, then having the other person act as if they're there to save you, making you completely obedient to them!
After exchanging words with Zhang Daming, Fang Zhenzhen also felt that he was a capable person. Therefore, she was quite interested when he said this and asked, "Please tell me more, Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Daming smiled knowingly and then began his long-winded speech.
In summary, there are two main points.
First, the rise of Sunday Mall has already affected Taobao and JD.com, and will inevitably attract suppression from both of them. JD.com is okay, but Taobao is backed by the behemoth AI.
Faced with suppression from both sides, Sunday Mall's future looks bleak.
Secondly, Sunday Mall does not have its own traffic pool and relies solely on advertising, which consumes too much money. Moreover, with the suppression from AI and JD.com, it will definitely be rejected by companies close to the two major systems.
Therefore, if Sunday Mall wants to continue to grow, it needs to find its own traffic pool!
Upon hearing this, Gao Yan seemed to see a fox's tail growing behind that old fox Zhang Daming!
Fang Zhenzhen seemed to have been fooled by the other party and fell into thought.
But she quickly realized that she was no longer the same person she was a few months ago. Having led Sunday Mall all the way to where it is today, she had grown into a strong woman!
After seeing through Zhang Daming's plan, Fang Zhenzhen fell silent.
Gao Yan leisurely picked up a cup of tea, blew on it, and then took a sip with relish, looking completely indifferent to the situation.
This gave Zhang Daming a bit of a headache; these two people looked young, but they weren't so easy to fool.
Seeing the atmosphere become tense, Zhang Daming had no choice but to speak to himself: "When it comes to traffic pools, which company in the entire Great Xia can compare to Tencent?"
Zhang Daming wasn't lying about this statement; with WeChat and QQ in hand, Tencent is indeed currently the largest user base in China.
