Chapter 83 Tencent in the Bidding Meeting

The bidding meeting is not like an auction, and the procedures that need to be handled are very complicated.

First of all, the bidding application shall be submitted by the qualified company that is interested in participating in the bidding, and the qualification review shall be carried out by the organization department of the bidding conference.

This audit alone cannot be completed in a moment.

So on the first day, everyone who came to the site came to see what conditions were announced at the bidding meeting, and which companies participated in the bidding?

It was not until the third day that the bidding meeting finally completed the review of all the bidding applications submitted by all companies, and also brushed off some companies that did not meet the bidding qualification standards.

The bidding meeting for the operation license of Xingwang Dragon Kingdom, the object of the bidding, not only depends on whether you have strong financial strength, but also on whether you have a complete operation plan.

Therefore, as early as after the state announced the news that it would issue three Xingwang Dragon Country operation licenses, it specially listed the conditions for reviewing the bidding conditions, in addition to having strong funds, it was also necessary to issue a complete operation plan.

Only when the above two points are achieved can it be possible to obtain a license through the final examination.

Therefore, many companies have long invited a staff team to study and design a set of operation plans that are both beautiful and feasible for the operation model of Starnet.

A total of 37 of the top 100 Internet enterprise companies in Longguo have successfully stood out, obtained the bidding qualification and participated in the bidding.

And the most optimistic is undoubtedly Ma Yundong of Alibaba Group and Ma Huateng of Tencent, which are recognized as the most powerful in the Dragon Country and are actually ranked in the forefront.

It was jokingly called Double Horse Athletic by netizens!

The other is Li Yanhong of Baidu, after all, the top three most powerful companies in Longguo are Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu.

It's just that after the final competition, the winning result of the final bidding was surprising.

Among the three most promising companies, only Ma Yundong is not surprising, and has successfully obtained a star network dragon country operation license "Star Media", and will officially establish a "Star Media" company.

The remaining two licenses, "Starlink" was won by Ding Shi of NetEase, and the "Star Touch" license was unexpectedly obtained by 10 billion group.

Ten billion group is not an Internet company, but an industrial company mainly engaged in shopping malls and large supermarket chains.

I didn't expect to stand out surrounded by a group of Internet giants.

It was so surprising that my jaw almost didn't fall to the ground.

Regarding Ma Huateng, in fact, Tencent failed to win the operation license of Xingwang Dragon Country, and after those experts who like to study hindsight the most, it is not difficult to speculate on the possible reasons for nine out of ten.

QQ, operated by Tencent, is, after all, the largest social platform company in Dragon Country, and even now, the number of members using QQ in the world is still the largest, as high as 2 billion.

In Longguo, the network traffic of the QQ platform is not inferior to that of Alibaba Group's Taobao, Tmall and other platforms.

However, with the rise of Xingwang, the new social platform model of the three-dimensional online shopping platform of the community combined with Xingmao has robbed a lot of traffic from QQ and Taobao.

Both Ma Huateng and Ma Yundong both felt very strongly the great threat of the community and Star Catalyst.

What they never expected was that Starnet was not a software platform relying on the Internet, but a wireless LAN group that was much better than a large interconnected LAN group like the Internet.

Originally, Ma Huateng and Ma Yundong also wanted to use the huge advantages of their own platforms on the Internet to block the Star Network Company, and even forcibly acquire the Star Network Company.

Ma Huateng and Ma Yundong have no chance to make a move at all, because the star network company does not mix on the Internet at all, and they simply have their own network platform that is not inferior to the Internet.

Tencent and Alibaba Group, two Internet companies, and Starnet are no longer rivals at the same level.

Ma Yundong saw the situation clearly early, resolutely changed his strategy, no longer trying to try to block the star network company, but trying to rely on the star network, and also open the network section of the star network, so that all those who are interested in the development of the star network platform can build their own website platform and network company, Ma Yundong also copied the website model of Alibaba Group and its seven subsidiaries on the star network for the first time, and established the star network Alibaba, star network Alimama, Taobao, Tmall and other websites.

Tencent, however, did not make the slightest move.

Even if several major Internet giants of Longguo Internet, Ma Yundong, Ding Shi, Lin Cuiping, Li Yanhong and others, have successively approached Xingwang Company, they have not seen any action by Ma Huateng.

There is only one reason, Ma Huateng has a huge hostility towards Starnet Company.

Ma Huateng actually saw it more clearly than anything else, he knew that QQ wanted to copy the model on the Internet on the Star Network, it was simply impossible, first of all, it was impossible for the Star Network Company to promote its own community as a social platform.

Unless it's a transformation to become a different type of network company.

Ma is very unwilling, because QQ's layout on the global Internet is very perfect, and more and more users around the world use QQ as a social platform, and the global traffic number even overshadows Facebook and Twitter in the United States.

The sudden rise of Starnet has undoubtedly greatly affected Tencent's huge interests on the Internet.

Therefore, Ma Huateng is very uninterested in the Star Network, and Tencent has even joined the Internet sub-world technology companies because of this, just to support the Internet to overpower the Star Network and protect its own Internet interests.

Ma Huateng even hopes that the Internet sub-world technology companies will eventually be able to annex Xingwang, so that QQ can get greater development opportunities.

However, the reality has dealt a blow to Ma Huateng, and the Internet sub-world technology company has also imitated the community model of the Star Network and launched the sub-world social platform.

Tencent's traffic has once again been greatly affected.

Unwilling, really unwilling, can you be willing?

The news that the state has issued three Xingwang Dragon State operation licenses and is open to bidding for all eligible companies and enterprise groups in the country has undoubtedly given Ma Huateng a huge opportunity.

As long as it can bid a license for the operation of the Star Network Dragon Country, Tencent will be able to obtain greater opportunities, at least in the Dragon Country network platform, whether it is the Internet platform or the Star Network platform, it has an advantage.

It's just because of the hostility to the star network that Tencent suddenly wants to fully participate in the bidding meeting for the operation license of the star network dragon country, but it is inevitably unprepared.

As a result, Tencent, which was originally the most optimistic and most promising to obtain a Star Network Dragon Country operation license, was brushed off because the submitted Star Network Operation Plan was not optimistic.

Ma Yundong and Ding Shi got their wish, they both obtained a Xingwang Dragon Country operation license, and their value suddenly increased significantly, after the news came out, their company's stock almost rocket-like blowout rose, directly up and down.

On the contrary, Tencent's stock has fallen so much that it is almost miserable.

But just when everyone thought that the dust was settled, a stock acquisition war suddenly broke out, but almost all eyes were blinded.

Tencent, which failed in the bidding, actually made another surprise move, taking advantage of the joy of the 10 billion group being immersed in the joy of accidentally bidding for a star network dragon country operation license, it actually dispatched a strong team, not only swept the shares of the 10 billion group on the stock market, but also quickly found those 10 billion shareholders who held the shares of the 10 billion group, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, and even promised all kinds of mutual benefit agreements to buy shares from these shareholders of the 10 billion group.

Tencent has become the largest shareholder of the 10 billion group in a jaw-dropping textbook business practice.

Wei Chengjian, the chairman of the board of directors, who originally only occupied 32% of the shares of the 10 billion group, is definitely the largest shareholder and a well-deserved chairman of the board of directors when the shares are relatively scattered in the hands of more than a dozen board members.

But I didn't expect that Tencent suddenly made a move, not only swept the shares of the 10 billion group on the stock market, but also didn't know what promises to make, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to reach an agreement with those large and small shareholders, and bought the shares of the 10 billion group in the hands of these shareholders, and the equity share exceeded that of Chairman Wei Chengjian, as high as 53%, absolute control.

Since it was a bidding in the name of the 10 billion group, the "Star Touch" license plate that was marked naturally belonged to the 10 billion group.

It is equivalent to the hard-earned income of Wei Chengjian, chairman of the 10 billion group, and all of them have made wedding dresses for others.

In the end, Tencent also became the largest shareholder of the 10 billion group, and indirectly obtained the "Star Touch" operation license of Xingwang Longguo.

Some other Internet giants who also failed to mark the operation license of Xingwang Dragon Kingdom, such as Baidu, Shanda, Perfect, etc., can't help but admire Ma Huateng's courage and luck.

Originally, they all thought that Tencent, which had never been close to the Star Network, would completely decline in the new century rush and pinch attack between the Internet and the Star Network, but they didn't expect to fight their way out and become one of the three major operators of the Star Network Dragon Country.

It was so surprising that my jaw almost fell to the ground.

In order to control the 10 billion group, how much money Ma Huateng used, no one can specifically estimate a value, but it is definitely not less than 100 billion funds, but it is absolutely certain!

Did you lose money on this deal?

People with vision and wisdom know that in fact, Tencent has made a lot of money in this transaction.

Sure enough, Tencent's stock, which was already miserable in the stock market, immediately stopped falling and began to rise with rocket momentum after learning that it controlled the 10 billion group and would host the "Star Touch" star network operating company.

Tencent, which had lost hundreds of billions of dollars in the stock market due to the decline in its stocks, has not only recovered its original value, but also shown a sharp upward trend.

Not only that, Tencent Holdings' 10 billion group is also bullish on the stock market, and both closed with a price limit.
