Chapter 356: Zhang Dalong's Disappointment
Tencent Headquarters!
"As an Internet giant, your company's hardware and software strength is too strong. ”
Su Wang visited Tencent's headquarters under the leadership of Liu Zhi, who was not only the head of the investment department, but also held the title of Tencent's executive president at this time, and was second only to the board of directors.
Therefore, Liu Zhi took Su Wang to visit all the way, which naturally attracted the attention of many Tencent employees, and as a practitioner in the Internet industry, there are almost no people who do not know Su Wang.
In the Internet circle, the circle is now very clearly divided, Tencent Department, Qiandu Department, Ali Department and the new Happy Department.
Let's not talk about the first three departments, in the eyes of the Internet industry, the happy department is composed of happy.com, Fanfu.com, Meituan, halva video and micro-payment, and the development trend is already faintly able to compete with the first three.
And Su Wang, as the representative boss of the Happy Department, will appear at the Tencent headquarters, which is a bit unusual in itself, and many Tencent employees are wondering whether the company wants to cooperate with the Happy Department to turn enemies into friends.
Because of the battle that broke out between Fanfu.com and Tencent Weibo, in the hearts of Tencent employees, the company and the happy department are in hostility, although it is not to the level of hatred like 360, but at least they do not get along.
……
"Mr. Ma, Mr. Liu, what do you mean by this. ”
In Ma Krypten's office, Zhang Dalong rushed in with an angry face, with an extremely dissatisfied look on his face.
It seemed that he had a premonition of Zhang Dalong's attitude, but Ma Kryptojin was very calm and said, "Dalong, don't get excited, sit down and talk slowly." ”
"I'm not excited, I just think it's wrong for Mr. Liu to do this. ”
After the impulse, Zhang Dalong also calmed down, sat opposite Ma Krypton, and continued: "Mr. Liu knows that Su Wang is our competitor now, and he brought Su Wang to our company to visit, which is okay, but he even expressed his position, saying that he supports Su Wang to socialize with acquaintances, what is this?"
"Dalong, Lao Liu discussed with me when he made this decision, and also discussed it with several executive directors of the board of directors, and these behaviors are all agreed upon by us. ”
Hearing Ma Krypton's words, Zhang Dalong was stunned for a moment, and then asked puzzledly: "Mr. Ma, why is this?"
"Because Su Wang gave us conditions that we couldn't refuse. ”
Ma Krypton Jin took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Zhang Dalong, Zhang Dalong took it and looked at it for a while, his face showed a look of enlightenment, he finally understood why Mr. Ma and even the board of directors would agree to Mr. Liu's move.
Meituan and Dianping merged, the company originally owned 23% of Dianping's shares, and after this merger, the company will own 14% of the new company's shares, diluting only 9%, which is equivalent to taking a big advantage.
You must know that Meituan's market capitalization is much higher than Dianping's, and under normal circumstances, if the company does not choose to sell its shares, it will merge according to the valuation of both parties, and the company's shares in the new company will definitely not exceed 10%.
This time, Meituan gave 5% of the shares to Tencent for nothing, and Zhang Dalong knew very well that if he were Mr. Ma, he would accept it and receive it.
"Mr. Ma, if Meituan operates like this, will the investors behind agree?"
Zhang Dalong was a little puzzled, although Su Wang controlled Meituan, but because there were funds from other investors entering, the company's financial expenses must be standardized, not that more shares will be given more shares.
"Acquisition at a premium for strategic purposes. ”
Ma Kryptonin explained, he knows that Zhang Dalong is engaged in technology, so he doesn't know about this capital operation, although the market value of Dianping is not as high as Meituan, but if Meituan acquires Dianping, it means that there are no competitors, this kind of strategic investment acquisition, premium acquisition is very normal.
As a simple example, assuming that the current market value of Dianping is 5 billion, and the market value of Meituan is 8 billion, Meituan's acquisition of Dianping only needs to be 5 billion in terms of data.
But that's not how the account is calculated, now because of the competition of Dianping, the cost of Meituan to compete for a customer may be five yuan, but if it acquires Dianping, the cost of competing for a customer becomes one dollar, so it is cost-effective to acquire Dianping with six billion.
However, there is also a problem in this, that is, if the fight continues like this, it will hurt both sides a lot after all, and if Dianping has no money to burn, then the company will be worthless.
So in the end, to put it bluntly, whether the two peer companies can reach an acquisition depends on the understanding of the management of both sides of the acquisition.
But in any case, Su Wang gave such a plan, which is indeed very sincere, and in Ma Krypten's view, in the e-commerce industry, Paipai invested so much, and finally lost to Ali.
He is naturally unwilling in his heart, and he will not give up the e-commerce part, and he will not give up the e-commerce part, and the shareholding of Dianping is to continue to cultivate in the e-commerce industry, but Dianping, like Paipai.com, also encountered a strong opponent Meituan.
With the lessons of the past, Ma Kryptonjin was actually worried that Dianping would follow in the footsteps of Paipai.com, and now that Su Wang has given such a good acquisition plan, he has no reason not to agree.
"Mr. Ma, this acquisition is indeed very good, and I have no objection, but it has nothing to do with our targeting of WeChat. ”
"Dalong, sometimes you can't look at things so one-sidedly. ”
Ma Kryptonjin said earnestly, Su Wang has shown such great sincerity, the two sides are considered to be the honeymoon period of cooperation, and at this time, it is inevitable that the WeChat for others is not very good.
"WeChat doesn't have much impact on us at the moment, we can also do this kind of software, but there is no need to target each other, so your plan has to be changed, in addition, Lao Liu has already promised Su Wang to allow WeChat to access Tencent's third-party login interface. ”
"Mr. Ma, isn't this a chance for WeChat to grow?"
Zhang Dalong was anxious, in his original idea, that is, all products of the Tencent system were completely blocked from WeChat, such as the QQ one-click login interface open to many third-party companies, which was to block WeChat, because this one-click login function was too powerful.
QQ, it can be said that 90% of domestic netizens have accounts, and most netizens are very lazy, asking them to re-register an account and fill in a lot of information, many netizens are unwilling.
However, if there is a one-click login of QQ, netizens only need to click QQ to log in, and they can quickly complete the account login registration.
"We have also considered the problem you said, and there will be no such problem as you said. ”
Ma Krypton shook his head and explained: "First of all, the users who log in with QQ are equal to the account data in our hands, and once we close the QQ login, these users are equivalent to blank, and they have to register accounts again." ”
"The second point is that there is no PC side, since mobile phone users are willing to spend a few minutes or even longer to download this software, will they not be willing to spend a minute or two to register? From this point of view, the open login interface only provides some convenience for users, and at the same time, it can also allow us to better understand WeChat's user data information. ”
In Ma Krypton's view, WeChat at this time is not a threat, and it is not that there are no instant messaging people over the years, but in the end, no one can survive, because only one instant messaging is enough.
As long as QQ is operated well, users will not be lost.
"Mr. Ma, raising tigers is a problem. ”
Zhang Dalong still doesn't give up, "The current volume of WeChat is not large, but once the volume of WeChat is done, it will not be easy to block it again at that time." ”
"Dalong, do you have no confidence in yourself?"
Ma Krypten's face was pale, and he said: "Not for WeChat, it doesn't mean that there is no action on our side, aren't you in charge of developing similar products, and the company will give you full support when the time comes, are you still afraid that the competition will not be able to WeChat?"
"This ...... Okay, Mr. Ma, I understand. ”
Zhang Dalong knew what Mr. Ma meant, and in Mr. Ma's heart, he didn't pay much attention to WeChat, and he didn't particularly care about his own project.
With loss and unwillingness, Zhang Dalong walked out of Ma Krypton's office, and as soon as he walked out of the office, he saw Su Wang and Liu Zhi walking towards this side with a smile on their faces in the front passage.
"Mr. Zhang, meet again. ”
Seeing Zhang Dalong, Su Wang greeted him with a smile, Zhang Dalong barely showed a smile on his face, and after a simple polite sentence or two, he left in a hurry.
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhang seems to be a little unwelcome to me. Su Wang asked knowingly.
"Mr. Zhang has been doing something lately, so he may be busy. Liu Zhi brought this topic over with a haha, and said: "Mr. Ma is already waiting in the office, let's go in." ”
"Uh-huh. ”
Su Wang nodded, looked back at Zhang Dalong's disappearing back, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
In fact, he could probably guess what happened to Zhang Dalong in Ma Krypten's office, and it was all in his plan.
In the previous life, whether it was Mi Chat or WeChat, it would rise in China because it saw the popularity of foreign kik instant messaging software, and then they rushed to imitate it, but at this time, kik itself has not yet been launched, and people on the domestic Internet have not seen the power of instant messaging software based on contacts, so naturally they will not be too concerned.
In the previous life, after Mi Talk was launched, there were 1 million users in fifteen days, which attracted the attention of the bigwigs in the domestic Internet industry, and they imitated and followed suit.
provoked the 360 and Tencent war in advance, and then stuck before the launch of kik, is to make the domestic Internet people temporarily unable to discover the lethality of WeChat, and play a time difference.
