Chapter 148 Golden Cicada Escapes Rebus(2/2)
…………
Jingshi, Xiaomi headquarters.
While Zhang Shuo was busy having a meeting to discuss countermeasures, Rebus also had a headache.
The emergence of Tengda's WeChat threatened not only Weixin, but also MiLiao, who was in the same social circle.
In a sense, WeChat even poses a greater threat to MiLiao.
Rebus has been involved in the Internet circles for many years, and of course he understands one truth - "If the boss fights with the second child, the third child will most likely die in the end."
MiLiao is exactly the third player in the field of mobile social networking.
Rebus is very self-aware and knows that even though MiLiao is one step ahead of WeChat, this advantage will soon be wiped out by Tengda's strong outburst.
Until overtaken!
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have agreed to Ahri's Spring Festival marketing plan in the first place."
Rebus already regretted it a little now.
During the Spring Festival, 200 million in cash was spent, and it seemed that the number of Miliao users had increased a lot, but the two core indicators of user retention rate and daily active users did not improve significantly.
This means that the effect of Spring Festival marketing is unsatisfactory.
On the contrary, Ali used this wave of Spring Festival marketing to introduce at least 10 million new users to Zhifubao.
It's very depressing.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world.
At this point, Mi Liao is already in a dilemma and is always on the verge of death.
"Mr. Lei, I think it's time for us to make a decision!"
The person who spoke was Xiaomi President Lin Wu, "Follow my previous suggestions and spin off the Miliao project from the company in a timely manner and form a new company so that risks can be dispersed and losses can be stopped in a timely manner."
For Xiaomi, the core business is mobile phones.
In the initial conception, the MiLiao project was more like an experiment. It is gratifying to see it succeed, but it doesn't matter even if it doesn't succeed in the end.
It’s not Xiaomi’s main focus anyway.
Unexpectedly, because Weixin came out earlier, Miliao had to increase marketing expenditures, and was gradually dragged into the quagmire of burning money.
In order to raise money, they had to introduce Scarlet Capital and Ahri one after another.
As a result, the founding team of Xiaomi is now very passive.
"I think so too, but I'm afraid that Scarlet Capital and Ahri won't agree." Rebus had a headache when he mentioned this.
As the old saying goes, it is easier to invite God than to send him away.
Neither Scarlet Capital nor Ali is easy.
"Then we have to cut the meat. At worst, we will continue to maintain the shares of these two companies in Xiaomi. But for the Miliao project, we will no longer participate. If Scarlet Capital and Ahri are willing, they can continue to inject capital into the new company." Lin Wu's attitude
Resolutely, "Mr. Lei, if you keep cutting off, you will suffer chaos."
"That's the truth."
Rebus rubbed his head and remembered that on the eve of the Spring Festival, if he could withstand the pressure from Scarlet Capital, he would not have invested another 200 million.
I finally made up my mind.
"According to your opinion, let's hold a board meeting on a certain date to discuss this matter."
"good!!!"
