Our Rise Era

Chapter 310 Lao Ma’s final struggle!
"Mr. Ma, do we still want to continue to develop our social software [Wanglai]?"

"..."

11 month.

The weather is getting colder.

In the Alilanglang office in Hangzhou.

Lao Ma sat in a chair. Although the heating was on, he still couldn't resist the biting cold.

The final battle in October!
No matter how they [Ali Langlang] attack!
Zhang Yang always impacts the market with higher prices...

It is no exaggeration to describe it as vicious competition!

The whole month of October!
He spent nearly 20 billion, and the market size of [food delivery] and [taxi-hailing] reached 1.5 million and 1.8 million people respectively!

Zhang Yang spent 21 billion! The market share was 1.9 million and 2.3 million respectively...

With the support of [Xun Teng Technology], Zhang Yang is far ahead of others!
And they are always the pursuers!
The advantage is always gone!
In the office, the secretary walked over with his head lowered.

In 2012, WeChat emerged as a rising star and forced Jack Ma into a corner. Eventually, Jack Ma started to develop social business and raised the importance of the social software Wanglai.

In order to compete with WeChat, they spent nearly billions of RMB to develop this social software, and also directed all the users of Baotao.com to the Wanglai software.

In the early days, it also caused a period of market boom...

but……

Three years later, looking back...

【WeChat】Nearly 5.45 million active users per month!
However, Wanglai only has 2000 million active users per month, and it is relying on transfusions to barely maintain its user base...

Without math, no one knows how many users they would have!
The entire Wanglai project team, including Ma Yunqiang, knew very well that the more than one billion invested in Wanglai had been completely wasted!

The project failed!
“Let’s end it…” Ma Yunqiang waved his hands, and half of his life was gone.

An unprecedented feeling of frustration surged in his heart, making it difficult for him to maintain his once calm expression.

The capital behind him!

Already called him.

The meaning of capital behind it is very simple...

We can’t spend any more money on these social software. WeChat is a domineering software. If we continue to spend money, we will just be fighting a desperate battle.

And in the [food delivery] and [taxi] apps, capital has also issued an ultimatum!

Need a result!
What does “results” mean?
Very simple!
They urgently need to go public to cash out!

In fact, for a company of their size, going public is very simple and they have the corresponding conditions.

But the listing...

“What do the relevant departments say?”

"You can go to Hong Kong for listing. If you want to go to Europe and the United States, you need to review your capital. After all, whether it's taking a taxi or ordering takeout, there is data on Chinese people's living habits... I heard that after reading the listing report of [Douni Video], the relevant departments were infected by Zhang Yang's seriousness and finally held a meeting to re-establish the rules for capital review..."

"..."

When Ma Yunqiang heard this, he closed his eyes and asked, "Why hasn't [Dou Ni Video] been listed yet?"

"I heard that it's the third round of review... But it should be this month..."

"Isn't this month Double 11? Wait!"

Ma Yunqiang's expression changed slightly!
Finally, I stared at the listing report of [Dou Ni Video]!

He took a deep breath!

He realized that Zhang Yang wanted to take advantage of the Double 11 listing to increase the market value of [Douni Video]!
This kind of popularity is much better than any capital-intensive tours and vote-raising!
Just when Ma Yunqiang finished saying this...

Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door.

After the door opened, he saw Chen Yong rushing into the office.

"Boss Ma, something bad has happened!"

"What's wrong!"

"Users are asking us to return their deposits for [Ali Sharing], from [electric vehicles] to [bicycles]. Our deposit system is overwhelmed and has collapsed!"

"What?" Ma Yunqiang stood up suddenly when he heard this.

Immediately afterwards...

He widened his eyes in disbelief as he saw Chen Yong handing him a cell phone. In the cell phone was a video of Zhang Yang from Dou Ni Video...

"He's crazy! The deposit is good for him. He can make money from these users. Is he crazy to return the deposit?"

"Mr. Ma, this is a move that will cut off the source of funds! The deposit for their previous shared software was at most around 1 million because of their small scale. They said they would refund it, but we are large in scale and the deposit is large..." Chen Yong shouted anxiously.

When Ma Yunqiang heard this voice, his head started buzzing. After a moment, he calmed down and said, "Return it to them!"

"I can't quit! Mr. Ma, we are now fighting on two fronts, [Taxi] and [Takeaway], and Double 11 is coming soon. We need to prepare funds to prevent the impact from [Wheat Mall]. If we quit, we will be short of funds, and Double 11 will be overwhelmed by the flamboyant [Wheat Mall]! These bastards from [Wheat Mall] are just waiting for Double 11 to cause trouble!"

"..."

"Yes, Mr. Ma, we can't refund it!" The secretary took a deep breath: "Before Double 11, the deposit must not be refunded. Zhang Yang's [Douni Video] is at the point of listing. He obviously wants to rely on [Xiaomi Mall] to step on our [Baotao.com] and then go public to increase its market value. Once we are breached, we will be doomed!" The secretary's trembling voice came over!

"..."

Ma Yunqiang listened to the anxious voices.

His emotions were about to explode, but he forced himself to hold them back.

He never dreamed that...

My own [Ali Langlang] will actually have such a day!
He waved Chen Yong and his secretary away, and asked [Ali Chief Analytics Officer] Chen Jian to bring the entire team over...

"Boss Ma, I've said before that if we want to live, we have to lose an arm. Now, the problem is huge..."

"I asked you to come here not as an afterthought, but to let you come here to find a solution!" Ma Yunqiang's face turned pale.

Chen Jian gritted his teeth and finally stared at Ma Yunqiang: “The deposit cannot be refunded!”

“If the deposit is not refunded, our [Sharing Domain] APP will collapse in an instant, and the capital market will put a lot of pressure on us!” Ma Yunqiang took a deep breath and said this.

"But, the rolling of this snowball will affect our foundation. We [BaoTao.com] are the roots! This is what we have to protect!"

"Retreat part, keep part?"

"Boss Ma, this is meaningless! Either we all quit, or none of us quit. If we are in the middle, we will get nothing!"

"..."

Ma Yunqiang, who rarely smokes, lit a cigarette in the office at this moment.

Anxiety inevitably flashed across his eyes, but after a long time, his eyes turned red: "I will find a way to get the funds, we will withdraw! The sharing field is the only field in which we have an advantage in the 4G era. We cannot give it up, we want both!"

"But……"

"No buts!"

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

"Have you retired?"

"Return!"

"It would be great if you could retreat!"

"Yeah, it would be great if you can retreat!"

"It seems that [Ali Langlang] is reliable!" "It must be reliable, after all, it is such a big company!"

"Have you all quit? Damn, I can't quit my company. It seems to be bankrupt!"

"Grass!"

"Wait, it seems that Ali Langlang has given us a refund, which means that as long as we join their sharing economy, they will refund us..."

"Zhang Yang has also spoken. He seems to be acquiring these platforms!"

"..."

October 2015, 11!
In China's entire [sharing economy] market...

As Zhang Yang started to shout that [sharing economy] does not require a deposit, only credibility...

The entire market is caught in a deposit boom!

Countless small and medium-sized [shared bicycle] and [shared electric vehicle] brands followed suit and their APPs suffered heavy losses overnight!

On the 4th, many apps stopped operating immediately. Countless users wanted to refund their deposits, but found that they couldn’t do so at all!

The controversial [Ali Langlang] stood up at this time...

Not only did they refund most of the deposit, they even subsidized part of the deposit in order to swallow up the entire market!
This move won high praise throughout the market!
However, just when they were about to invest in [Ali Sharing], they found that all these bankrupt sharing apps could be used!
Moreover, the software was soon merged into [WeChat Sharing], with shared accounts and support for refunds...

……

A robbery drama!

It is happening passionately in the sharing market...

In this battle...

Someone has done some statistics!
[Ali Langlang] In just a few days, nearly 16 billion yuan was refunded...

Zhang Yang's company was not big, so he only returned 3 million...

No matter how you look at it, it looks like Ali Langlang was stabbed, bleeding profusely, but holding on...

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

"Mr. Ma!"

"In the past two days, [Wheat Technology] and [Xun Teng Technology] have launched a general attack on us. We have no way out! You must hold on!"

“Double 11!”

"This is our last chance!"

"if!"

"After losing on Double 11!"

"There's absolutely no way we can turn the tables!"

"..."

11 Month 8 Day!
Ma Yunqiang, who was staying in the office, received a call.

He nodded solemnly.

His eyes were fixed on [Wheat Mall]!
Several consecutive battles of burning money and fighting to get back deposits!

Lao Ma's [Ali Langlang] has become a spent force at this moment!

The funds they had on hand were once again running out!

……

Night, deep.

Sitting in the office in Hangzhou.

A hint of madness flashed across Ma Yunqiang's eyes!
Hold on!

Hold on!

Hold on to it, damn!
He clenched his fists!

Wait till the early morning...

The office door opened again!

[BaoTao.com] Vice President Chen Yong rushed in in horror...

"Mr. Ma!"

"Say!"

"Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang..." Chen Yong began to stutter!

"Calm down, the sky isn't falling!"

Chen Yong handed the latest news of [Xiaomi Mall] to Ma Yunqiang!

Ma Yunqiang looked at [Wheat Mall]...

Then the pupils shrank sharply!

All I saw written on it were the words [Hundreds of billions in subsidies for domestic products]!

"Zhang Yang, we are going to spend 11 billion on Double 100!"

"Impossible, impossible, unless he is crazy, otherwise..."

"Boss Ma, what has Zhang Yang done that hasn't been crazy? When he was in the photovoltaic industry, he only had a few hundred million yuan in funds, but he dared to take out loans and raise money for gambling! Isn't he crazy? [Xiaomi Mobile] He dared to lose money and destroy the market, isn't he crazy?"

"..."

"Boss Ma, this is a hungry wolf. For the sake of the market, there is nothing he can't do."

"..."

"Besides, now is the time for [Douni Video] to go public... [Xiaomi Mall] really invested 2015 billion, the market value of [Douni Video] will only be higher, he can definitely go to the capital to make money, Mr. Ma! And, Mr. Ma, I heard, yes, I heard that Zhang Yang has split up some of the industries, and he still has some shares in his hands. I heard that the three domestic electric cars [White Pigeon], [Blue Horse], and [Little Bird] were also preparing for listing in early . The [Shared Electric Car] APP is entirely for the sales of these three electric cars, and the sales are in preparation for the listing!"

"..."

"This madman, what can't he do?"

"..."

In the office!

Chen Yong's voice was almost crazy, and it hurt Lao Ma's eardrums!

At this moment...

Lao Ma took a deep breath!

Lower your head!
Unconsciously, a sense of fear arose in my heart!
but……

"No matter what, we will defend it! No matter how he promotes it, we will promote it too. We will follow him! I don't believe he will really take out 10 billion!"

"Boss Ma, we are in a bad situation now, we..."

"Follow! We can't lose!"

"it is good!"
