Chapter 877: Strategic-level Meeting
When Chu Yuanxi was recalling, Ah Mu was also reminiscing, but it was himself who was recalling. According to Xiao Li, the reason why he was kicked out of the door was not because of the wrong opinion, but because of the wrong way. Young people, even if they are capable of business, are still prone to make such mistakes, and the more capable they are, the easier it is to make them. This kind of radical and correct opinion is only possible for fellow young people to adopt, and Cheng Huilin is already old after all.
In fact, before he proposed whether to take advantage of the fact that the big store has not yet been rolled out, the cost has not been spent, and there is still a chance to transform into a convenience store, various deductions have been carried out within the door opener. It is already a reality that large stores are not easy to open, flagship stores can be regarded as a useful trial and error, and the existing land resources can be used as a forward warehouse to support convenience stores, only logistics and supply chains need to be adjusted to a certain extent, and then there is operation, and the operation line will undergo drastic changes.
But he is the COO, the chief operating officer, so isn't it his duty to bring up this matter by himself? As a result, I don't know why, Cheng Huilin suddenly lost the feeling of trust in himself, and then the coffin board couldn't be pressed, and it wasn't until that time that he really understood that there were many people who really wanted to be the COO.
So when he left the doorman, Ah Mu was hateful, especially when he found that a group of people led by Li Jingfei were already preparing for a well-off life in the cottage.
This discovery made Ah Mu very excited, because, you copycat Chu Yuanxi, and when he makes a move, you can't keep up with his speed at all, GameOver. This scene has been staged many times when Chu Yuanxi was a self-media.
It's also for this reason that Ah Dumb chose OTO, which is far away from the battlefield, so that it will be convenient to watch jokes when the time comes.
However, the task given to him by Brother Li is extremely difficult to complete, and Brother Li's original words are: "I need you very, very much, but I am afraid that you will not be able to do what I need." ”
Dumb felt a little uneasy: "What do you need?"
"I need a powerful propaganda tool, just like a matrix like Pakistani self-media, not only to have a huge number of fans, but also to have a huge influence, credibility, according to your words, there is a character that is particularly easy for fans to trust. Xiao Li said and shook his fist, this is what he wants.
Dumb and indifferent. This requirement is not only difficult, if you want to get fans, you can do it slowly, he also has his own fan acquisition plan, presumably it won't be too vegetable. But how to become a KOL, he doesn't have this confidence anyway, because of the lack of background.
At this time, I only heard Xiao Li say slowly: "Actually, I still have a choice." ”
Ah Mu understood at the time, and then shook his head: "I'm not very optimistic about the war against the Pakistani group." ”
"I'm not going to merge and acquisition, in fact, it would be nice if Ba Ren Information was willing to sell, but unfortunately I don't think Chu will sell it. The condition of the war investment is nothing more than letting me use his self-media tools. Xiao Li said optimistically.
The difference between war investment and M&A is that M&A costs more money to get full control, while war investment gives less money, but carries out a certain resource swap, which is guaranteed by agreement, and sometimes becomes cross-shareholding.
At this time, the valuation of OTO has reached tens of billions in ¥ calculation, whether it is compared with the Ba people or the well-off, he is even larger. Moreover, Sun Dasheng's shareholding in OTO is as high as 48%, which is relatively rare on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also shows that the relationship between OTO and Sun Dasheng is different from other invested companies, and is more like a son.
Therefore, Xiao Li is backed by a vision fund of 100 billion dollars, not to mention war investment, even if the words of the merger and acquisition of the Ba people are not out of the question, because as long as the occurrence of the merger and acquisition is reasonable and beneficial, Sun Dasheng will definitely milk him.
"It's not a matter of mergers and acquisitions and war investment. It's ......" Ah Du thought for a while, "I have been with Chu Yuanxi for more than half a year, so let's put it this way, he has an unusual mood for the self-media of the Ba people." If you make a financial investment in the Pakistani group, although it is unlikely to be accepted, it is only because the Ba Ren group is too profitable, it is a matter of money. But if you want to get involved in his self-media matrix, with my understanding of Chu Yuanxi, with OTO's resources, there should be no hope, and he won't let you use it. ”
"Isn't Chu's main focus now on a well-off life?" Xiao Li was very surprised, although he had launched an investigation into the Ba Ren Group, but it was before Ah Mu joined the company, and he lacked a deep understanding, so he had to fall into thought.
"Definitely. But what do you say about the Pakistani self-media? His energy is not on it, but his desire for control has definitely not decreased. Dumb said.
"Then, what about acquiring the shares of other entrepreneurs? How about we be barbarians?" Xiao Li has a lot of routines in his mind, in this direction, although he is less than 30 years old, he has enough experience.
However, Ah Dumb shrugged: "Impossible, I have also seen the agreement they signed at the beginning, the terms are very strict, and you can't trade casually." Besides, the Ba people don't have a board of directors, even if Chu Yuanxi allows others to buy the rights of other founders, it is useless, it can only be a financial investment. ”
Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, Wasn't Chu Yuanxi a fired Sankei when he established the company? Where did he get the experience to make such a cautious shareholding structure? "Can you show me the agreement you signed at the beginning? I want to see how dead he is guarding." ”
"It can be enabled, but ......" Ah Dumb was very confused: "If you have any propaganda needs, the domestic self-media industry is so developed, the Ba people are just one of the slightly larger ones, there is no need to stare at the Ba people, right?
Xiao Li shook his head suddenly, "No, no, no, what I want to do must not be fulfilled in the form of advertising." I also learned about your self-media market, and it is still more suitable for me to use Baren Entertainment, because of Chu Yuanxi's personal attributes. ”
Ah Mu, who knows a lot about the Ba people, suddenly had a sense of immediacy, thought about it carefully, and said in his heart Isn't this Chu Yuanxi's attitude towards the "Jixia School Palace" project? Would rather do a variety show by himself than advertise on a ready-made variety show?
Ah Mu and Uncle Sheng have a personal relationship, after taking back "Jixia School Palace", many things can already be used as talking points, and Chu Yuanxi said that "Ah Mu will always be my brother", and he was also introduced by Uncle Sheng to the Ba people. Therefore, the simple Uncle Sheng naturally doesn't need to chat and talk like a thief, and he knows more and more details about some gossip that can be made public.
What Ah Mu knows, it means that Xiao Li knows, so there is this visit, Xiao Li wants to talk to Chu Yuanxi in person. Moreover, if one person can't do it, what about pulling another one?724, as the originator of the island country convenience store, is also a pole in the domestic market, so I don't believe that there is no resources that Chu Yuanxi needs. It's just that he didn't expect 724's reaction to be so fast, and it seems that there are some situations that he doesn't understand.
Now Chu Yuanxi is sitting opposite them, and Chu Yuanxi's memories are just a flash, and a question immediately comes to mind, that is, what is Xiao Li's intention?
It is understandable that Shinji Uchida, chairman of 724's Greater China region, deigned to come to the well-off. It is normal for friends to visit each other, and Chu Yuanxi in the original world also visited the whole family and full-time, both of which are convenience store predecessors who have developed apps.
But what is Xiao Li doing here? He is engaged in hotel contracting and leasing, and he makes money by exporting management services, and has nothing to do with convenience stores. Is it just because of the origin of the dumb that you come to hang out?
This idea is too ridiculous, because Chu Yuanxi feels that Xiao Li and himself should be the same kind of people, and they can't afford to be the same kind of people. After the OTO Group came to China with great ambitions, it encountered countless problems, how could Xiao Li have time to visit the door? It is good to have this time to nourish the hairline.
Unexpectedly, after chatting a few words, I found that Xiao Li seemed to really come to the door, Kan Dashan's level was very high, and he chased the taxi driver in the imperial capital. From the international and domestic situation, how long will the trade war last, how will India take advantage of it, how Sweden's environmental protection sister will go to the United Nations General Assembly to make a contribution, staring at who is pregnant, as small as the largest single shareholder IPO of Penguin, and the strong release of Dragon Quest mobile games instantly occupies the gap in the AR+LBS game field, etc., etc., etc., you know everything.
Chu Yuanxi was stunned to find that he was really too focused on work, and he didn't know as much as he did, and Uchida Shinji was even more miserable, and after talking for a long time, Dragon Quest could still interject, after all, this is the most authentic national IP of their island country.
So Uchida is more anxious than others to bring the topic back to the field of entrepreneurship, because he really didn't come to talk about it today, there must be a so-called Yunran. Then he finally seized an opportunity to hear that Lieberthal Jr. was the establishment of the OTO Group, which was in 2013, and Xiao Li was just 20 years old, thinking that he had caught up with a huge opportunity, a huge opportunity from 2009.
I just heard him say: "In the past ten years, all the opportunities on the mobile Internet except for social networking and games have actually been the emergence of a new standardized model, and after many things are moved to the Internet, what cannot be standardized can be reduced through standardization to improve efficiency, so new business models are born." And the point is that many fields are blank, and without No.1, anyone can be the No.1 of this new model. I just gave birth too late, it took 4 years to realize all this, if I had been born 4 years earlier, hahahaha......"
Chu Yuanxi couldn't help nodding frequently, and said in his heart that he had lived to a dog at his age, especially Chu Yuanxi, the salted fish in this world. Even in the original world, I didn't have such a clear understanding, but I made up my mind to change jobs when I saw that sharing bicycles was indeed a big opportunity, and I was blown by the wind and walked step by step to the back. In this comparison, Xiao Li is indeed a genius boy, which is also the environment in India that he was dragged down, if he was in the Celestial Empire from the beginning, he might be able to turn the world upside down.
Xiao Li saw Uchida Shinji's expression, but he was talking about it and continued to talk: "In the past few years, your country has given birth to enterprises that have reached tens of billions of dollars very quickly from scratch, and there is more than one. But in my opinion, it's not really about how well the company is doing, it's about the first batch of people to rush into the track after the birth of a new business model, and the speed is fast enough. The speed is fast enough and the scale can be up, because capital will notice it at the first time, and then integrate the upstream and downstream to leverage the whole society. ”
Shinji Uchida said that it was my turn to have a good opportunity!" But this is not the case in the future, and the opportunities for this new model to emerge are becoming less and less. In the future, if the company wants to make money, it still depends on the internal ability rather than the extended value. ”
Xiao Li was very cooperative: "What do you mean by inside?"
"The ability to integrate resources, and-" Shinji Uchida said in a timely and aggravated tone: "The ability to wage a price war." ”
Xiao Li suddenly thought of Sun Dasheng, Sun Dasheng can be said to be an important promoter of the price war in the entrepreneurial field around the world, without his money, many price wars cannot be fought.
And Chu Yuanxi is different, Chu Yuanxi said something in his heart. Xiaokang is the beneficiary of model innovation, through the integration of logistics and supply chain to improve efficiency and reduce costs, and then seize a gap, that is, there is no real gap in the network user system on the huge convenience store track.
Although there is an APP, these old convenience stores like full-time FamilyMart have an APP, but it is not a network-like user system at all, but a simple information distribution, and the biggest use is to recharge membership cards. The well-off is essentially the convenience store membership system moved online, and it has undergone a comprehensive and huge upgrade, directly evolving from a primitive society to a socialist feeling.
This is the value generated by the extension of model innovation, how is this blank grabbed, I am afraid that Shinji Uchida on the opposite side will be scared to death after he really understands the membership system of the well-off.
But Mr. Uchida should not have understood it yet, so he emphasized the internal ability, and bluntly said that it was resource integration and price war.
In fact, the two are related, and without the ability to integrate resources, they are not qualified to fight a price war. For example, the most common requirement in the e-commerce war is the integration of resources, Suning Gome asked the major appliance manufacturers to choose one of the two, and the 815 price war almost forced the dog to die, and the dog dong had to find two dealers and dealers to get the goods.
Another example is the extremely tragic price war between Didi and Express, which lasts for a long time and is extremely rare, and it can cost 20 million yuan a day. The reason why it can reach this point is because the resource integration capabilities of both sides are actually comparable. Therefore, after the two sides broke their bones, they had to find Huaxing as an intermediary to merge, and the most thorough resource integration.
So why does Shinji Uchida emphasize this? Do you want to fight a price war with the well-off or play "resource integration"? Should he be sober?
Thinking of this, Chu Yuanxi's eyes froze, and he said solemnly: "Mr. Uchida, in the future, I think that there are two kinds of companies that are most worth looking forward to, one is a company that makes human beings happy, and the other is a company that makes human beings convenient. ”
"Bridge bean sacks!" Uchida Shinji said in his heart, Are you talking to me the same thing?But suddenly, he thought for a moment, Chu Yuanxi's words seemed to be answering his hints?" "So, what Chu Jun means is that because of this judgment, you created the two companies Ba Ren Group and Xiaokang Life? Convenience stores are a very traditional industry, I think it is new technologies, such as AI, etc., that can represent the future?"
He had already heard it, Chu Yuanxi was vaguely saying that these two companies were attacking the future, and Lao Tzu would not sell them to others at all.
"Yes, who said that traditional industries can't represent the future? I always believe that the value created by new technologies is far less than the value brought by new technologies to the upgrading and revision of traditional industries. Let's take AI as an example, well, I don't know how you understand AI games, is it to use AI instead of program apes to develop games, or to use AI to innovate on the basis of traditional games? My company's "Out of the Troubled Times" is a typical latter, using AI to solve the pain points of traditional games to achieve the purpose of value-added, very successful. ”
Shinji Uchida is a dog.,He not only knows this game.,And he's played it.,And it's their island country server.,The ability to absorb gold in the island country is about to enter the top three.,It's about to kill the live fossil-level mobile game "Wisdom Dragon Maze", and the number of discussions on Twitter is very large.
The question is, can convenience stores be the same? I've been playing convenience stores for 30 years, and I haven't seen anything new? The advent of the Internet has not scared me, so I don't believe that you, a junior generation, can use AI to upgrade convenience stores!
Xiao Li didn't seem to get anything from the other two at all, and then agreed with Chu Yuanxi's point of view: "Yes, self-confidence is the most important thing in entrepreneurship, you must believe in yourself." Model innovation not only to believe in oneself, but also to believe that oneself is different from others, if it is consistent with the public perception or very close, it cannot be an ideal model. ”
Uchida leaned back on the sofa and asked relaxedly, "But you are different from the public's perception, and 90% of the time you are wrong, right?"
Chu Yuanxi looked at Mr. Uchida very seriously and found that he could not be regarded as an entrepreneur. "It's normal, relying on a unique vision to discover a new model, in a blank field, what should I do? The process of starting a business is to verify whether your unique vision is right. Otherwise, how can you stand out?"
"Yes, I remember when I first came to your country, your investors were generally not optimistic about online education, but there are still many entrepreneurs who believe in their own judgment and believe that after moving education online, they can improve efficiency and reduce costs. ”
Chu Yuanxi found out how consistent Xiao Li's three views were! It would be nice if he could work for himself, but unfortunately it was impossible. Actually, don't look at the ease of the two of them, but how long the verification process is! This is a long dark night, entrepreneurs need to charge in the dark night, rush to the dawn, to persevere, to forbearance, to constantly move themselves, and even upgrade their beliefs to faith, if they are crooked, they will become demons.
That's why almost every successful entrepreneur is extremely egotistical, and it's hard to be changed by others, unless it's an entrepreneur with a bigger coffee position.
