Chapter 1010: The Advantage Disappears

Arming the car rental industry with big data and getting involved in unmanned driving, car rental may be transformed into a shared car, which is a profound transformation of the industry. Whether it is Yahoo, Time or Guoke, they are all technology-based enterprises, with unimaginable technical advantages in traditional industries, and some advantages are unimaginable for some local tyrants.

It is not that you can achieve technological transcendence with money, and the big domestic banks have the largest wealth and profits of listed companies in China, and they are not bad money, but the IT infrastructure construction and security protection concepts of these companies lag behind the mainstream IT companies not for a year or two, but for two generations.

The so-called bank-level security protection does not mean how strong the bank's security protection capability is, but how strict the requirements are. The reason why hackers don't hack banks so much is not because of how strong the bank's protection capabilities are, but because the behavior itself is illegal. Google's security protection ability cannot be worse than any bank, this is a professional ability.

Avis can do artificial intelligence big data analysis by itself, but who knows how much effect there is? Traditional enterprises do not do digital transformation, but there are many of them, but how many succeeds, some things may not be a problem of technology, but a problem of thought. For example, e-commerce, at the beginning, there were no traditional enterprises to follow, so a large number of e-commerce brands (Xiaomi, LeTV, etc.) appeared, forcing these traditional enterprises to fight, but a large part of the market has been poached.

The privatization of Avis has provided a lot of convenience for its transformation, after all, the debt burden of a company like it has long exceeded its market value, and most of Avis's liabilities are car loans, and there is no need for a reference market value. Once privatized, if we can accept the technological transformation of Internet companies such as Time and Yelp, there will definitely be a qualitative improvement. Furthermore, if the unmanned driving technology is perfected with the support of capital, the future is so great that there is no need to repeat it.

Let's go and learn about the privatization of Avis, it's a good talk, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is a sunset industry, and there is little value. But whether it's useful or not depends on who is in the hands and what his purpose is. Zhou Shi wants to acquire or control Avis, the purpose is not to make money, but for all kinds of miscellaneous things, even if it doesn't go well, it won't be a loss, it's just a waste of time.

Whether it is a niche car brand like Saab or a Chinese car brand like Chery, it is not ordinarily difficult to make a difference in the European and American markets. Of course, there is more than one route for internationalization, starting from Asia, Africa and Latin America to open up markets, rural areas to surround cities, existing profits, enhance strength, and then open up more difficult markets in developed countries such as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. But don't forget, a little wealth is peace, it is difficult to get a phoenix out of the chicken nest, and if you are mediocre for a long time, you may not be able to excel. Only those indomitable heroes can surround the city from the countryside. Therefore, those who are the kings of Asia, Africa and Latin America, Lifan may not have a chance to excel in the short term.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Zhou Shi would rather be difficult first and then easy, rather than easy and then difficult, that is, to cultivate a temperament for the enterprise, a temperament that dares to be the first in the world; so there will be the birth of Android and Guoke mobile phones; so there will be artificial intelligence and cloud computing regardless of the cost of investment; so there will be time to study qigong practice, these ordinary people think that the brain is in the water.

There are many criteria for whether an entrepreneur is excellent or not, but whether an entrepreneur is excellent or not depends on his pioneering ability. Zhou Shi's success is reshaping many venture capitalists' understanding of entrepreneurship, or that Huaxia Venture Capital is more tolerant of entrepreneurs. Even people like Zhou Shi, who don't have the quality of an excellent entrepreneur, have succeeded, and who else can't succeed?

"I can't tell what kind of entrepreneur you are, or even who to describe you, in NBA parlance, your template is yourself, you may be a natural navigator, leading the business forward!" a venture capital boss with close ties to him said in a chat with him.

The prophet does not mean omnipotence, whether it is technology or business management is not his advantage, not to mention the intrigue and trickery, he has not learned it in two lifetimes, and the flickering braggadocio is far inferior to Jack Ma, what he is good at is to take advantage of the information gap, form an unequal fair competition, and then be lucky to win; he is good at using the prophet, strategically despise the opponent, and walk on the right path.

Just like the science and technology ape man said in a popular science program, the fact that the Chinese atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb were achieved in a shorter time than the lighthouse country does not mean that the nuclear energy research of Huaxia has surpassed the nuclear physics of the lighthouse country. The lighthouse country is the pioneer, and Huaxia is the follower, others have pointed out a way for Huaxia, and the Chinese people can succeed as long as they go on. Zhou Shi has a prophet because he knows that he will succeed, so he can move forward bravely without hesitation, without worrying about no return for his efforts.

However, his prophetic advantage has basically disappeared by now, and even the slightest general impression of the price of gold and oil he does not dare to use, because he himself has become a variable in this market, whether it is commodities or the Internet industry, which has changed dramatically with his participation. Whether it is good or bad, since it has changed, the market that was originally in a state of chaos will make his previous observation worthless.

Zhou Shi, who is at this stage, is actually quite confused in his heart, and the weapon he has relied on for a long time will soon be useless, and it may be a bit similar to 500 degrees of myopia and he can only take off his glasses to live. This kind of discomfort is what he will inevitably experience! That's why the MIPS architecture is open source, the acquisition of LiveNation by EMI is the acquisition of Avis, the investment in basic scientific research is made possible by time, and the research on controllable nuclear fusion to explore the basic laws of the future world is explored.

Although I want to know the result earlier, the acquisition of large companies is inherently troublesome, not particularly important things, and too much premium not only makes it impossible to get it, but also tends to have sequelae. No one wants to cooperate with a fool, even if he takes advantage. The first thing that a company like Galaxy Sixiang has to show is its own professionalism. This kind of acquisition has been taken advantage of, do you still want to cooperate in the future?

Helpless, he had to wait, but fortunately, both Yahoo and Yelp had a lot of things to deal with. For example, Airbnb, a wholly owned subsidiary of Yelp

Uber is currently the most valuable tech startup in the United States, but Yelp's Airbnb is no worse, and unlike Uber, which needs to face a fierce market competition environment, Airbnb is involved in relatively low market competition pressure. The current market capitalization of Yelp has exceeded $50 billion due to the value of Airbnb......
