As the saying goes, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.
Although Gao Yan made a high-profile investment in ByteDance and exchanged shares, he did so in a very low-key manner.
But it had already spread throughout the circle within a single afternoon.
Although ByteDance is an emerging internet force, anyone with a little insight knows that its potential is limitless.
Therefore, many people are eyeing ByteDance.
al Group.
The defeat in the Double Eleven shopping festival left Jack Ma somewhat down, but after a day of reflection, he is now discussing countermeasures with his advisors.
Suddenly, the secretary rushed to Mr. Ma's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
Upon hearing this news, Mr. Ma's mood instantly soured.
Then, he told his advisors, "I just received news that Ice and Snow Investment has acquired 15% of ByteDance's shares. At the same time, ByteDance and Sunday Mall each hold 10% of the shares!"
Upon hearing this, the advisors present all changed color. One of the advisors asked, "Boss, what is the background of Ice and Snow Investment?"
There are quite a few people eyeing ByteDance.
But ByteDance's CEO, Mr. Zhang, won't let anyone get on board so easily.
Even AI and Tencent were rejected, so how did Ice & Snow Investment manage to acquire 15% of ByteDance's shares?
"Behind the investment in ice and snow sports is Gao Yan!"
Mr. Ma said somewhat helplessly.
"That's a brilliant idea!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise: "Doesn't that mean Gao Yan owns 25% of ByteDance's shares?!"
The rise of ByteDance's Toutiao News has, frankly, surprised many people.
After all, it's just a news app.
What's so great about it?
Isn't it just turning a news website into an app?
It wasn't until Toutiao, with its unique algorithm and push notifications, successfully gained a large number of users that everyone realized they had misjudged the situation.
When they want to get on board, or want to replicate this model.
The other side has already given them no chance.
"It will be very difficult to suppress Sunday Mall now!" a member of the think tank sighed, because Sunday Mall had only been around for a short time.
They don't have their own traffic pool.
Therefore, there are bottlenecks in development.
But now that Gao Yan has acquired 25% of ByteDance's shares, ByteDance has become the traffic pool for Sunday Mall.
So, Sunday Mall made up for its lack of traffic.
To succeed online, technology is important, but traffic is also essential. Without traffic, even the best technology will struggle to gain traction unless you're incredibly lucky.
Developing a technology is difficult, but replicating it is not that hard!
Even if you are the first to master a certain network technology, others have money and manpower and can quickly develop similar technologies. Then, using their financial advantage, they can use imitation to kill the original.
There are countless examples like this.
For example, the "stealing vegetables" game was originally created by the campus network team.
Let's get back to the main topic.
After pondering for a moment, Mr. Ma made a suggestion: "Is it possible for us to invest in Sunday Mall?"
Sunday Mall rose to prominence quickly, but it lacked a solid foundation. In contrast, al had a large talent pool, as long as Sunday Mall accepted them.
He was so confident that he could gradually devour Sunday Mall and eventually make it belong to al!
Upon hearing Mr. Ma's suggestion, all the advisors' eyes lit up, and they began to calculate the feasibility of the matter.
After some discussion, the advisors came up with several feasible suggestions.
Similarly, Liu Cixin, CEO of JD.com, also received this message.
But his reaction was minimal.
He suffered a crushing defeat this Singles' Day.
Gao Yan's investment in ByteDance is likely causing more headaches for some than for him.
I believe that Mr. Ma will not remain indifferent.
Anyway, he's already the third oldest, so even if he takes down Sunday Mall, he still can't become the oldest.
Green Vine Investment Consulting Company.
General Manager's Office.
Liu Hanyi is seriously considering the matter of digital currency.
Cryptocurrencies are indeed difficult to regulate.
Because it is a virtual thing with no real value, and it greatly facilitates money laundering and underground transactions.
The state has no reason to recognize the legitimacy of such a thing.
I made a fortune through cryptocurrency before, which is why I thought it was profitable. It seems I was blinded by greed.
“Boss Gao, the company only has two projects, and neither of them will be successful in the future. Could you give me some pointers and tell me what projects we should do?” Suddenly, Liu Hanyi’s gaze fell on Gao Yan, and she asked expectantly.
"Let's trade US stocks!"
Gao Yandao said.
"US stocks?"
Liu Hanyi frowned slightly and said, "With my small frame, if I enter the US stock market, I'll probably be treated like a lamb to the slaughter very quickly!"
Gao said, "I have a team that deals with US stocks. I can get the team to provide some help in the early stages, but you'll have to rely on yourself later on!"
Liu Hanyi's eyes lit up: "Then thank you!"
The Liu family had also investigated the origins of Gao Yan's funds, but they hadn't found anything significant. They only knew that a large portion of Gao Yan's funds came from overseas US stock or futures markets.
Gao Yan waved his hand: "It's okay, we're friends, I'll have someone from my team contact you!"
"To thank you, I'll treat you to dinner!"
I have plans!
Gao Yan smiled and said, "Wu Junlai and I have arranged to have dinner together tonight."
