Makarim looked at the mysterious Zhang Yida and was also curious about his so-called "bold idea".

"You're not trying to merge GoJek and Grab, are you?" said Makarim, who suddenly thought of something, blurted out.

Zhang Yida shook his head slightly, "Wrong, can this alone be called a bold idea? You underestimate my pattern too much." ”

Makarim thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "Plus RPay and GrabPay!"

"And that's not all!" Zhang Yida chuckled.

"Then add BuyTogether!"

Zhang Yida stopped talking now, and looked at Makarim silently.

Makarim felt that Zhang Yida's idea was too bold, merging so many companies to form a giant that would completely dominate Southeast Asia and be invincible.

"Mr. Zhang, your idea is a little unrealistic, I don't need to say more about the biggest resistance, you know where it is?"

Despite the impressive plan, Makarim found it difficult to implement.

"You mean Chen Bingyao's side, right?"

Zhang Yida smiled, looking confident.

Makarim nodded, "That's right, there was a middleman who took the lead in brokering a merger between our two companies, and I agreed to meet with him at the time.

But Chen Bingyao refused, and said that he could beat us with only half of the purchase money, so why spend the whole money?"

Speaking of this, Makarim looked dismissive. He is also a proud son of the sky, in terms of family background and famous school resume, he is no worse than Chen Bingyao.

Being so contemptuous of the other party, he swore at the time that he would definitely trample Grab under his feet.

Zhang Yida heard a little about these news, and said with a smile: "It's just a temporary battle of will, there's no need to take it to heart."

I believe that Chen Bingyao also regrets it at this moment, because not only did he not defeat GoJek, but GoJek became stronger and stronger!"

Hearing Zhang Yida's praise, Makarim's face gradually softened, and he said in a calm tone: "I have to say, Mr. Zhang, this idea of yours is very beautiful, and even I am very moved when I hear it."

But after the merger, who will be the main and who will be secondary?"

Zhang Yida had already thought about this question clearly, and said with a smile: "I heard that your family intends to let you enter politics?"

Makarim glanced at Zhang Yida quietly, he didn't know where Zhang Yida heard such a secret news, could it be that someone leaked the news?

He is still thinking about which side to choose between a thriving business empire and a family political legacy.

"According to Mr. Zhang's meaning, I should go into politics and give up the right to operate the business to Chen Bingyao?"

Zhang Yida waved his hand, "I didn't mean that, I meant that before you go into politics, you can be the CEO of this new group."

After you enter the political arena, you will give up the position to Chen Bingyao. ”

Makarim thinks it sounds like a good thing, and the time he spent as CEO was also in front of Chen Bingyao, which is a shame.

And before officially entering the political arena, he can enhance his reputation through the identity of the CEO of Southeast Asia's No. 1 Internet group.

As for economic interests, he now owns less than 10% of GoJek.

Although the equity will be diluted in a new company, the value will not change, and it may even appreciate significantly due to the head effect.

Seeing Makarim's hesitation, Zhang Yida hit the railroad while it was hot: "Once this new group is born, take Chinese Internet companies as an example."

It is equivalent to a collection of Ahri + Leech Financial Services + Didi + Magnesium Group, and these four Chinese Internet companies are worth more than 600 billion US dollars combined.

Southeast Asia's population is only half that of China, even if it is 300 billion US dollars.

You're no stranger to these Chinese companies, right? Each has its own moat, and it's even more terrifying to form a company.

Most of the benefits generated by the entire Southeast Asian Internet economy will be put into the belly of this new group.

And you two taxi software don't have to fight anymore, you can directly start commercial realization.

The financial resources saved can also be invested in other directions, such as financial technology, e-commerce, social entertainment, and so on. ”

Makarim shook his head, "Mr. Zhang, you are exaggerating, the per capita GDP and Internet economy level in Southeast Asia are very different from China's, and the company's valuation volume cannot be directly calculated by population."

Moreover, the six major countries in Southeast Asia, each with its own culture, laws, and religions, cannot be integrated to the level of China's Internet giants.

Besides, Sea Group and Laizanda Company will not sit still, and will definitely compete with us for the market. ”

When Zhang Yida heard what the other party said, he knew that there was a door to the matter.

The penguins want to bury mines for themselves, or to stir up trouble, but they can't let them succeed.

If GoJek withdraws from RPay, it will inevitably deal a heavy blow to the latter, and it is likely to slip from the first echelon to the second echelon.

Today, GrabPay and RPay have the highest market share in Southeast Asia, and the market is very stable depending on their respective payment scenarios.

If the two companies are in turmoil, AirPay, which ranks third, will be the biggest profiteer.

"China's Ahri and Penguin have been standing for 20 years, and several of their contemporaries have fallen behind.

Makarim, the Internet supership we want to build, if it develops, its position in Southeast Asia will be higher and more stable than that of Ahri and Penguin in China.

When the time comes, you can go into politics, and equity can also be passed on as a family asset. ”

Zhang Yida paused and said: "It is no exaggeration to say that it is difficult to say what kind of outcome GoJek and Grab will be in the future if they continue to fight like this.

Uber, Lyft, O, Didi, and none of the ride-hailing apps have been able to make a profit.

The financial technology extended by e-commerce and mobile payment is different, which is a successful model that has successfully passed the market test, can make money, and can exist for a long time. ”

Zhang Yida's speech is not very good, so he almost said directly that this industry is destined to be a money-losing goods.

But Makarim was not unhappy, because what Zhang Yida said was the truth, and it is notoriously difficult to make a profit on a travel platform, and the whole world is exploring it.

And I may be going to enter politics in the next year or two, and it is indeed time to make a long-term plan for the assets I own.

Just because you are in politics, you can't waste the career territory you have built single-handedly.

If you want to be an official, you can't lose your business career, and you must grasp both politics and business.

Set up a giant company, form the Matthew effect, eat most of the Internet market in Southeast Asia, make the equity in your hands more valuable, and inherit it in the long run.

Sounds like a good plan, and to be the CEO of this giant company for another term.

Everything is so perfect, but is it really possible?

Makarim asked Zhang Yida, "Mr. Zhang, are you sure you can convince Chen Bingyao?"

Makarim's eyes were sharp as knives, as if to determine the authenticity.

He thought that Zhang Yida had such a big deal, and there was another possibility: stirring up the yellow penguin's shares.

It may sound mysterious, but there is a theoretical motive. After all, it is very beneficial for Ruixiang to stir up the penguin's shareholding.

The business world is cruel and unforgiving, and Makarim has to guard against it.

Zhang Yida has never communicated with Chen Bingyao at all, and he has a hammer to grasp.

He told Makarim that he wanted to stabilize the other party and talk to Chen Bingyao again.

Of course, it is best if you can talk about it, but if you can't talk about it, the situation will not be much worse.

After weighing the pay and return, Zhang Yida decided to play the game again.

Although he didn't have any bottom in his heart, Zhang Yida's face was still full of confidence, and he looked light, trying to send some signals to Makarim.

"He's an ambitious man, he's tempting. ”

Makarim was not stupid, thought for a while and said, "Mr. Zhang, I can wait for you here for a week."

In more than a week, I accepted Penguin's investment. ”

Zhang Yida frowned, "A week is too short, how can a transaction of tens of billions of dollars be so so-so?"

Makarim smiled: "Mr. Zhang can have such a big career, he is definitely not an ordinary person, I believe in your ability!"

"Not only Chen Bingyao, but also a group of shareholders who bought together, I need to communicate.

A week is too short, at least a month!"

Makarim felt that a month was too long, and it was easy for some accidents to happen, causing the Penguin's deal to go viral.

When the merger plan didn't work out, then he was really a complete.

"Half a month, it can't be longer. ”

Zhang Yida still wanted to continue to bargain, but seeing Makarim's eyes firm, he looked like he would not let go.

"Okay, just half a month!"

The main target is still Chen Bingyao, if he can't convince the other party for half a month, Zhang Yida believes that even if he is given half a year, it will still be the same result.
