Inside the office.

As soon as Zhang Shuo signed and approved the funding application, the rotating president Lu Qi knocked on the door and came in.

"Chairman, I just received a message from Jiaoyang Holdings, saying that Washbasin.com is interested in acquiring wichat. wichat plans to convene a board of directors. Zhao Mingchuan asked the headquarters for its opinion."

"If Washbasin.com wants to acquire it, then go ahead and acquire it. As long as the price is right, anything can be said."

Regarding wichat, Zhang Shuo's attitude has always been very clear, that is, from beginning to end, Jiaoyang Holdings has conscientiously acted as a financial investor in making decisions.

We have never intended to interfere or even control overseas public opinion through wichat.

That's an egg against a rock.

In this regard, in July last year, at the request of the Wichit board of directors, Jiaoyang Holdings had to transfer 10% of Wichit's equity to its partner Dream Fund for a price of one billion US dollars.

Reduce its shareholding ratio to 18%.

"Taking advantage of this acquisition of Washbasin.com, we can completely withdraw from Wichit." Zhang Shuo said.

In my impression, the original Time and Space Washbasin Network was fully acquired at a high price in early 2014. Unexpectedly, in this life, Washbasin Network actually fell in love with wichat.

But this is easy to understand.

Because from the very beginning, Mo Ya never thought of taking wichat into his own hands, and took a completely different path from the original time and space Tengda, which resulted in wichat's overseas development being far stronger than in its previous life.

The market share even exceeded.

Wouldn’t it arouse the interest of Washbasin.com?

In addition, when wichat was founded, it was dominated by beautiful state-owned investment banks such as the Thieves Group. It was doomed from the beginning. The choice left for wichat was either to go public or be acquired.

This time, Washbasin.com took a fancy to wichat, but the guarantee was incomplete. There was a trace of the operation of the Thieves Group behind it.

"Understood."

Lu Qi smiled and nodded. In fact, Zhao Mingchuan's inquiry had more symbolic meaning than practical meaning.

Although Jiaoyang Holdings has a board seat in Wichit, it cannot really affect the board of directors' decision-making. Whether it is in favor or against, it cannot actually influence the acquisition.

But you still have to ask.

"Chairman, in the past month, the taxi-hailing field has been very uneven. Looking at this situation, it seems that there will be another money-burning subsidy war. Kuaidi is already taking action." Lu Qi then talked about another matter.

.

"Then what do you think?" Zhang Shuo asked with a smile.

"According to my observation, the final battle that is about to break out is probably going to be between Tick Tak and Kuai Di. To be precise, it will be the backers behind these two companies - Tengda and Ahri."

"Looking at the current situation, I'm afraid it's very difficult to be kind." Lu Qi said.

"I don't think the two families will have a big fight. At best, it will be a small fight."

Zhang Shuo had a different judgment.

The business logic of Tenda and Ali betting on taxi-hailing business is different from betting on local life services.

When entering the local life service track, giants mainly want to control online traffic entrances, while investing in taxi-hailing companies is to conduct an unprecedented enlightenment on consumers' offline payment habits.

Because taxi hailing was the most ideal offline payment scenario at that time.

First of all, taxis are used frequently, especially with the support of high subsidies. Secondly, the offline payment method of taxis is very convenient. After arriving at the place, consumers can complete an offline payment in just a few seconds.

Ahri uses this to promote the wealth treasure, and Tengda naturally has to promote it to pay for it.

That's why there is such a tit-for-tat confrontation.

This is also true. After the taxi-hailing war in 2014, Zhifubao and Weixin Pay began to invade offline on a large scale, until most people no longer need to carry cash when they go out.

A mobile phone can solve all payment problems.

Therefore, some people analyzed afterwards and said that Dida and Kuaidi competed with each other and eventually merged. It seemed that they were shaking hands and making peace, but in fact Ahli lost.

Because of Tiktok after the merger, users obviously use Weixin to pay more frequently.

In disguise, it helped Weixin Pay realize its counterattack against Zhifubao.

During the Spring Festival of 2014, a classic "marketing war" took place in the original space. That is, Weixin used Weixin red envelopes during the Spring Festival to instantly promote Weixin payment.

Completed a perfect sneak attack on Ahri's wealth treasure.

But in this life, the situation has changed a lot. The biggest change is, of course, that Tengda unfortunately lost Weixin and then Weixin Payment.

We can only rely on ICQ to continue to make things worse.

Secondly, under Zhang Shuo’s instruction, Weixin launched Weixin red envelopes two years ago.

This trick no longer works.

Driven by various online payment scenarios such as Qingcheng App, Qingniao Interactive Game, Jingdong, Pinxixi, etc., it continues to help Weixin Pay conquer the city.

Today, Weixin Pay is on par with Zhifubao.

In comparison, the development of Caifutong under Tenda has not been smooth, and its market share has always been ranked behind Weixin Pay, ranking third.

So, when Zhifubao and Caifutong are fighting, do you take your second brother Weixin Pay seriously?

The most important thing is not this.

But in the past two years, through the offline consumption of Qingcheng Xiaozhu, Weixin Payment has been consciously and subtly cultivating users' offline payment habits.

Last year.

Weixin Pay's offline application scenarios have long since expanded from Qingcheng Xiaozhu to all merchants participating in Qingcheng Takeout, such as chain catering brands such as Kaifeng Cuisine.

Later, it continued to extend to supermarkets and other areas.

In other words, Weixin Payment has actually been doing the "education" for consumers that Ali and Tenda want to complete, and it can be done in one step.

There is no need to rely on an application scenario such as taxi hailing to complete it.

This also leads to saying.

The battle between Ahri and Tengda over taxi-hailing will appear to be "unknown".

In addition, due to the sudden emergence of Bud in this life, the pockets of the two giants Ali and Tenda are not very full, and they have spent a lot of money on takeaways and shared bicycles.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Another Qingcheng Taxi is watching eagerly from the side.

It is really hard to believe that under the superposition of various unfavorable factors, Ahri and Tengda will still risk their lives and burn one to two tens of billions irrationally like they did in the original time and space.

"So, the upcoming taxi-hailing subsidy war will not have any major impact on Qingcheng Taxi-hailing?" Lu Qi still trusts the judgment of the big boss.

"It was never possible."

Zhang Shuo still has the same view, "As long as Qingcheng maintains its basic base, it will not be defeated."

Through crazy subsidies, Yuanshikong, Ditak, and Kuaidi managed to kill off other competitors in a very short period of time and dominate the world in disguise.

The issue is.

After the subsidies for the two companies ended and everything returned to normal, overseas Youbu entered the Chinese market again and cooperated with Qiandu, which soon posed a new threat to Dida and Kuaidi.

The final outcome was the merger of the three companies to achieve a true monopoly.

But in this life.

Regardless of whether there is Youbu or not, Qingcheng Taxi will definitely not die and will still be alive and well.

How can this be broken?

Therefore, fundamentally speaking, it is simply unrealistic for Didi and Kuaidi to replicate the original style of play. The market will not buy it, and neither will consumers.

The more subsidies there are, the more bad debts will be accumulated.

"I hope that Tik Tak and Kuaidi can fight harder, so that the pressure faced by the Qingcheng Group will be reduced, but I think Tengda and Ahri are not that stupid." Zhang Shuo smiled.

Lu Qi was thoughtful.

At the end of the conversation, Lu Qi took the initiative and said: "Chairman, after the integration of Qinghe Group is completed, I will apply to step down as chairman of Qingcheng Group."

"Can."

Zhang Shuo also guessed what Lu Qi was thinking right away, which was that he just wanted to spend his main energy on Qinghe Group. He said with a smile: "At that time, we can consider letting Pei Weiping succeed you as the chairman."

As for the CEO position vacated by Pei Weiping, Wang Xin can take over.

Perfect!!!

………

Tenda Building.

Zhang Shuo, an "outsider", is paying attention to the subsidy measures launched by Kuaidi. As an "insider", Tengda has been paying even more attention recently and is already planning countermeasures.

"Kuaidi's subsidies are very effective and are quickly eroding Dida's market share in Beijing. If Dida doesn't fight, it will have no choice but to admit defeat."

Lu Jian has also been very busy recently.

The internal integration of the Arnold Group is still a mess. It finally calmed down some of the civil strife by spreading coins, and now it is facing a duel with Ahri in the taxi-hailing field.

Can we still get along well with each other?

Lu Jian was very dissatisfied with Ah Li's actions.
