Chapter 473 The Internet Age of Spelling Consumption

"Hehe, in short, we have one less henchman, Su Cheng can't blame others for his own death. Brother Hu, the construction of the third production base in Xingcheng is progressing very fast. Let me tell you, I'm ready to order production equipment. ”

Chen Jialin came today to order equipment, whether Hu Yang usually worries about stubborn stone technology or not, he will say hello in advance in these major events.

"Okay, just order whatever equipment you should order, just go back and send me a list of equipment." ”

Hu Yang nodded and agreed to Chen Jialin's equipment procurement plan.

"Okay, I'll wait for your words. What's that, Brother Hu, I'll go first, I've been running at both ends of Deep Sea Star City recently, and I'm really busy. ”

Chen Jialin said goodbye and left, he felt that he had been so busy recently, and he had to lose a few catties of meat.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Liu of the e-commerce company is here. ”

Not long after Chen Jialin left, Wu Xinhui knocked on the door and walked in, telling Hu Yang that Liu Qiang wanted to see him.

"Oh, you ask Mr. Liu to go to the reception room, and I'll go over right away. ”

Hu Yang has not been able to take care of e-commerce recently, and he has to continue to burn money anyway, and there is no hope of making a profit for the time being.

He straightened the papers on the table, then got up and went to the small meeting room.

"Mr. Hu ......"

Liu Qiang stood up and said hello to Hu Yang, looking preoccupied.

"Sit down, Mr. Liu. Assistant Wu, please send two cups of coffee. ”

Hu Yang sat down with a smile, and Wu Xinhui quickly sent two cups of white coffee.

"Mr. Hu, after the search engine technology we obtained, the website of JD Mall has been optimized several times, and now the experience of on-site search and off-site search is very good. ”

Liu Qiang began to report to Hu Yang on the work for a period of time, in a word, that is, the potential of enterprise development is unlimited, and profits have to wait.

"What do you think are the main difficulties you are facing at the moment?"

Hu Yang is satisfied with the work achievements of Liu Qiang, Lin Yan and others. But he would like to hear about the problems encountered by enterprises in the process of development.

"The difficulty now is to change people's shopping habits, and it's a very difficult process. We have also put a lot of advertising and increased the intensity of various discounts, and the effect can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

Another big problem is the means of payment, banks are currently launching online banking, but because the customer experience is not very good, and the security aspect needs to be improved, the number of customers is growing very slowly. ”

For Liu Qiang's two points, Hu Yang agrees.

It is indeed not easy to change a person's shopping habits, and the market needs to be cultivated slowly. And the upgrade of payment means requires patience.

"Mr. Liu, Taowang has launched a certain treasure, which is a new payment method developed by themselves. Have you noticed?"

At this stage, a certain treasure also belongs to the role of soy sauce, and there is a long way to go if it wants to be widely accepted by people.

Liu Qiang looked embarrassed and said: "I have also been paying attention to a certain treasure, but we do not have the research and development conditions for the time being, and I prefer to cooperate with online banking." ”

Liu Qiang is also telling the truth, everyone is so cautious about shopping, and it will be more difficult for everyone to accept the new payment method involving their own funds.

Hu Yang nodded, and did not force Liu Qiang to develop something similar to a certain treasure. He remembered that in that time and space, the only thing that could compete with a certain treasure was only one prestige payment. But so far, Penguin Empire's prestige software hasn't come out.

Of course, it is also a good choice to cooperate with online banking at this stage.

"Mr. Hu, YA Tiger has issued an announcement and is ready to acquire Taowang. As you know, YA Tiger is the world's Internet giant, and I am worried that the combination of the two will have a huge impact on us. ”

Waya & After the song parted ways, YA Tiger already had a sense of crisis.

During this period, YA Tiger first bought a wholly-owned company at a price of $2.7 billion, and then it accelerated negotiations with Ma Baba to buy part of the shares of Taowang Group.

This matter puts a lot of pressure on Liu Qiang and Lin Yan, after all, compared to YA Tiger, Hu Yang's e-commerce company is still a small character.

"Well, the impact will definitely be there, but it's not as big as you think. Mr. Liu, the most important thing for you at present is to lay a good foundation and continue to promote the construction of the website and logistics system. As for the financial pressure, you don't have to think too much about it first, I will solve it for you as appropriate. ”

Hu Yang can understand Liu Qiang, the current online shopping platform, to put it bluntly, is to burn money. In addition to competing for internal strength, the most important thing for competitors is to see who consumes energy.

The emergence of YA Tiger will inevitably bring new financing to Taowang, which is what Liu Qiang and others are most worried about.

Hu Yang didn't need e-commerce companies to go around for financing, so he took advantage of this opportunity to simply give Liu Qiang the bottom line.

"That's great! Mr. Hu, with your words, I will definitely be able to develop the company. ”

Liu Qiang came to see Populus Hu with trepidation, and then regained his confidence. For an Internet company, financial support is crucial.

But he still has a trace of worry in his heart, I don't know how much financing Taowang can get from YA Tiger?

Things quickly came to an answer.

Ma Baba and YA Tiger signed an agreement, under which YA Tiger transferred all the assets of its subsidiary YA Tiger (Dahua) to Taowang, and at the same time injected $1 billion into Taowang.

As a result, YA Tiger acquired a 39% stake in Taowang Group and became the de facto largest shareholder.

This is the largest acquisition of an Internet company in China so far, and after getting $1 billion in funding, Taowang has a great chance to leave other companies behind.

"Tut, the international giants are really extraordinary! Mr. Hu, the pressure on Mr. Liu and Mr. Lin is even greater. ”

Xia Bing came to see Populus Hu this day and also talked about this matter.

After all, the merger and acquisition between YA Tiger and Taowang has far-reaching implications, and many people have been talking about it during this time.

"Well, there's no motivation without pressure. I'm sure they won't let me down. Mr. Xia, based on your analysis, how should e-commerce deal with it next?"

Huijia Holdings is the absolute majority shareholder of the e-commerce company, and although Xia Bing does not interfere in the specific affairs of the company, she still has to worry about the direction.

"I think the time is ripe for e-commerce companies to raise a new round of funding. ”

Xia Bing saw it very thoroughly, whoever can survive will be able to achieve the final victory. The premise for e-commerce companies to survive is to have sufficient funds, which is the same as Taowang.

"Well, I have the shareholding reform plan submitted by Mr. Lin here, you can take it back and take a good look. At the next regular meeting of the decision-making committee, we will bring it up for discussion. ”

Lin Yan's plan has been submitted to Populus euphratica for a long time, and Populus euphratica has not been implemented immediately, but the timing is just right now.

"Okay, I'll go back and study it carefully. Mr. Hu, $50 million of the equity proceeds from the sale were left on the accounts of North American venture capital, because we still have some taxes to pay. The remaining $1.3 billion has been transferred to an offshore company (Walker Group) and will be idle for the time being?"

After the transaction with YA Tiger was completed, Xia Bing was also responsible for the aftermath. She didn't know what to do with this $1.3 billion idle fund, so she came to discuss it with Hu Yang.

"There's no rush on this matter, I guess the funds will be used soon. ”

The e-commerce company will undergo a shareholding reform, and Hu Yang intends to introduce an offshore company as a new shareholder. This time, he plans to keep up with Taowang, and the amount of funds injected is about $1 billion.

Xia Bing immediately understood what Hu Yang meant, and said with a smile: "I should have thought of it, how can the boss be willing to let Taowang go down? Then I'll go, and I'll see you in two days. ”

Hu Yang immediately got up and sent Xia Bing to the elevator before returning to the office.

"Assistant Wu, you help me call Mr. Ma, who is soaring in the deep sea, make an appointment with him, and say that I am going to invite him to barbecue. ”

Hu Yang wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the shareholding reform of e-commerce to straighten out some things in advance.

The pony's penguin empire is an indispensable part of his plans.

Wu Xinhui smiled and nodded in agreement, but what the hell is eating barbecue?

Nowadays, the daily diet of Populus euphratica is generally much more particular than before. It must be nutritious and environmentally friendly, such as barbecue, at least Wu Xinhui has never seen him eat it.

Wu Xinhui turned around and went out less than ten minutes before Pony's phone rang to the landline of Hu Yang's desk.

"Mr. Hu, your shelf is a lot bigger now, it's not good. ”

"Mr. Ma, if you have something in the future, you can also ask the secretary to inform me. I really don't have any shelf, and many times I'm just too lazy to call in person. ”

Of course, the relationship between Hu Yang and Xiaoma is not the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and the two are in this situation. It's more like a friend.

"Well, I can't talk about you. When you call me and say you're going to have a barbecue, I know there's going to be something big. In this way, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and at half past six in the evening, see you at the Maislin barbecue bar. ”

Pony eating barbecue is a meme, but only known to Pony and Populus, as well as a few entrepreneurial veterans who have taken off in the deep sea.

At the beginning of the business, the pony was also poor, and the company's New Year's dinner was a barbecue and beer at a roadside food stall.

It seems that the first time Populus euphratica ate with a pony was to sit on the side of the street and eat barbecue?

So, it's a repertoire between the two.

Of course, with the current identity of the two of them, it is not good to sit on the street and look for a barbecue with a good environment, which is the proper meaning.

In the evening, Hu Yang came to this barbecue bar on time.

This restaurant specializes in Brazilian barbecue, the decoration and environment are good, and the main benefit is that there are private rooms.
