Our Rise Era

Chapter 141 Collaborative Pony
July 2008.

[Xun Teng Technology] Ma Xun Teng smoked in the office all night.

Finally, looking at the booming Baotao.com, they made a decision that was both unexpected and reasonable for the market.

That is……

Do e-commerce.

He shared this idea with his co-founder Shen Zhixiang.

Shen Zhixiang pondered for a long time and felt that this thing could be made.

On the one hand, they have nearly 9 million registered users like Qdog and nearly 3.7 million active users.

On the other hand, there are so many cases of borrowing other people's software and then using their own huge number of users to crush the original owner, and there are too many successful cases.

then……

The two hit it off immediately and invested nearly 50 million to set up this [Maimai Mall].

When [Maimai Mall] was first launched, it indeed shocked the entire market.

Countless people even assert that in the future, Lao Ma will be involved in an extremely tense and tough battle.

Lao Ma also agreed with this very much. The moment he learned that [Xun Teng Technology] was going to attack him, he rushed over from the United States in a panic, and immediately summoned core partners. He held a meeting for nearly two days, and at one point exclaimed "the wolf is coming" and made a strategy to strictly guard [Maimai Mall].

In fact...

The initial performance of [Maimai Mall] can only be described as "crazy".

The model is absolutely identical to Taobao, and even the interface design of the website is exactly the same as that of [Baotao.com]. Backed by the Qgou social software, it can be called a "super rich second generation" with both traffic and funds. Relying on Xunteng Qgou's huge user base and advantageous resources, it entered the top 500 global website traffic rankings within days of operation, shocking the entire industry!

Some even predict that in the coming year...

By the beginning of 2009 at the latest, Baotao.com would become yesterday's flower in the battle for traffic, just like other websites "borrowed" by Xunteng Technology.

However, by mid-08, [Maimai Mall] had fallen into a stagnant period where the number of users stopped increasing and even declined.

【Xun Teng Technology】 is known as the "hot-selling printer". Once a good product appears, it will be quickly imitated. However, the operation in the e-commerce field cannot rely on imitation. First, people are already accustomed to certain products. Second, there is no further innovation and optimization. You can only wait for others to take a big step before you take a step forward...

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. If you keep falling behind and there are no new strategies to stimulate consumption, you will always lag behind.

It's fine if you just follow behind, but you don't even have your own positioning at all. You just do whatever others do, and your operations are also wild and open...

When users' enthusiasm faded, the [Maimai Mall] became just that.

....................................

outside the window.

A leaf falls.

Zhang Yang glanced at the leaves outside the window and then looked at Ma Xunteng's gentle and elegant expression.

At this moment, Xiao Ma smiled and looked at Zhang Yang: "How did you fall out with Lao Ma?"

Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and pushed up his glasses. "Lao Ma wants to buy my [Wheat Mall] at a low price, but I want to sell it at a high price. We can't reach an agreement..."

"Oh? How much is it?"

"They want to buy 65% ​​of my shares for 500 million, but I don't agree... I want to sell 20% of my shares for 600 million, but they won't pay... Since we can't reach an agreement, let's fight!"

When he heard the number 600 million and 20%, Ma Xunteng was stunned.

How big is the current [Xiaomi Mall]?
And you are still losing money, yet you dare to ask for such a high price. Aren't you treating others as your enemy?

"Fight, how do you want to fight? Your current strategy is all about popularity and spending money. Have you ever thought about what will happen after the capital chain is broken?" Ma Xunteng looked at Zhang Yang who was fearless and shook his head.

"When I do something, I always do it first and then see... I fight first and then talk about it, so the capital chain will not be broken."

"Why are you so confident?"

"This confidence is not given by me, but by you!" Zhang Yang looked at Ma Xunteng who was slow to pour tea for him, so he didn't hesitate to pick up the teapot, poured himself a cup, and then took a sip.

"I gave it to you?" Ma Xunteng frowned when he heard this: "I don't remember reaching any agreement with you in private. In fact, this is the first time we meet face to face like this, right?"

"It's the first time, but, when I was negotiating with Lao Ma, I happened to receive your call..."

Ma Xunteng was stunned, and then he remembered the tone of Zhang Yang's nonsense on the phone when he called him. He smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that the call would backfire.

"Mr. Ma, let's not talk nonsense anymore... just tell me directly how you want to cooperate." Zhang Yang poured himself another cup of tea. When he saw that the tea was a little cold, he simply stood up and started to make tea as if he was familiar with it.

"As you have seen, the advantage of our Q Dog is the steady flow of users..." Looking at Zhang Yang's actions, Ma Xunteng did not react in any other way, but just introduced Q Dog seriously.

But he was interrupted by Zhang Yang when he was about to say half of his words and even handed the data to him. Zhang Yang shook his head and poured himself a cup of tea: "Mr. Ma, everyone is very busy. I won't look at some of the data. I'll just say it directly. Give me the traffic of Qgou directly, and I will be responsible for helping you, Lao Ma..."

"Mr. Zhang, I want to clarify something. Although I have not been involved in e-commerce for a long time, the water of e-commerce is very deep. Your investment model is impossible to make a profit in a short period of time without big capital behind it. Lao Ma has already occupied nearly 70% of the e-commerce market..."

"So, what you mean is..." Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes.

"In principle, we need to acquire your [Wheat Mall]..." Ma Xunteng had no smile on his face, but looked at Zhang Yang seriously.

"What about not in principle?"

"Because Alibaba has no traffic import entrance, it needs to build an ecological chain centered on Baotao.com. All systems must be included in its ecological chain for its use. We also build an ecological chain, but the difference between us and Baotao.com is that we pay more attention to releasing traffic and building an ecological chain with our Qdog as the core. Therefore, we only invest and acquire, but retain the original operating team and will not control the core team..." Ma Xunteng looked at Zhang Yang and said lightly.

"I can invest, but as for acquisition, Mr. Ma, you know that I am an insecure person and it is impossible for me to lose the core equity control..."

"We can sign an agreement..."

“I don’t believe in agreements.”

"..."

The office fell into silence for a long time. Ma Xunteng looked at the series of data in the computer and stopped talking.

Zhang Yang was making tea and drinking it at the same time. During this time, he went to the toilet on his own. After that, he lay down on the sofa next to him and rested without any hesitation.

Seeing Zhang Yang treating him like an outsider, Ma Xunteng's mouth twitched slightly. After a long time, he finally stared at Zhang Yang and took another step back: "We can merge [Maimai Mall] and your [Xiaomi Mall] into one!"

"Mr. Ma, I still say the same thing. I can accept the investment, but it is limited to 25% equity rotation. It cannot exceed 25%. This is the bottom line..." Zhang Yang shook his head, but his face became calmer and calmer, and he looked fearless.

"Mr. Zhang, although Mr. Ma and I are competitors, we also have a tacit understanding in private. If you leave this door today without becoming a partner of our [Xun Teng Technology], tomorrow, [Xiaomi Mall] will be completely strangled... Your weakest point now is capital, and what we are best at is capital operation..." Ma Xun Teng stared at Zhang Yang with a cold face.

in the air.

It was as if an invisible pressure was pressing down on Zhang Yang.

But when Zhang Yang heard this, his expression remained unmoved. He didn't even say a word. Instead, he patted his butt, stood up, and walked towards the office door.

Just as Zhang Yang was about to walk to the door, push it open and leave...

Ma Xunteng stared at his back with gloomy eyes.

A moment later...

"30% of the shares will give you 300 million!"

When he heard this, Zhang Yang finally stopped.

Finally, he turned his head and stared at Ma Xunteng: "If [Maimai Mall] merges with our [Xiaomi Mall], I need to have the dominant position!"

“After the merger, we will be managed by a common CEO and we will have common voting rights!”

"impossible!"

"Then we won't merge them, we'll just divert traffic and invest. However, in order to make diversion more convenient, starting from the signing of the agreement, [Maimai Mall] and your [Xiaomi Mall] will temporarily belong to us and will be listed on our cooperation log. Of course, it's not a direct investment of 300 million. We have data requirements for the operation of [Xiaomi Mall]. The 300 million will be divided into three stages. If the data requirements are met, we will invest in the next stage. If not, we will reduce our investment or terminate the investment based on the current operating data..."

"Can……"

"In the first phase, we will invest 50 million..."

"no problem!"

Zhang Yang nodded silently.

Finally, he closed the door and sat back at the negotiation table step by step.

"In [Xiaomi Mall], [Douni Video] holds 30% of the shares, Yuan Wang holds 10% of the management shares, and I personally hold 30%! You [Xun Teng Technology] hold 30%... I made the decision alone, and it only represents me personally. I can't sign the agreement now. I need to talk to them together..."

When he heard the words [Dou Ni Video], Ma Xunteng seemed to think of something and frowned slightly.

After a moment, he let go, his eyes shining with a strange light: "In this way, we [Xun Teng Technology] also have the strategic idea of ​​entering the video platform, and we can also invite Sun Hongsheng from [Douni Video], Mr. Sun, to discuss cooperation..."

"I'll contact Mr. Sun..."

"it is good!"
