The leader of the domestic OTA market is Ctrip, but since the beginning of this year, Ctrip's market value has plummeted, and profits have declined for two consecutive quarters, while the domestic market has changed, on the one hand, the market is very optimistic about Qunar, and feels that it can combine search with air tickets and hotels, which is a good innovation in the business model; on the other hand, Tongcheng, Tuniu, and Donkey Mother were very active in the capital market at that time, and there were not many resources available in the market. In other words, Ctrip's growth has been greatly limited, and if this situation does not change, Ctrip is likely to be doomed. In particular, Liang Jianzhang has been poached by Zhou Shi and became the CEO of Meituan.

Ctrip's current stock price is around $16~$17, which has fallen by two-thirds from last year's high, and the bureaucracy of internal management is serious, and it has not kept up with the era of mobile Internet. At this time, Ctrip was facing a very dangerous situation, and its market value had reached a record low.

"What does this mean?" Ma San was puzzled

"Are you interested in promoting the restructuring of Ctrip together and merging with Qunar?" Zhou Shi, the bottomless Ctrip in his previous life made him, but he was helpless, this time he had the opportunity, so he naturally wanted to dismantle it. Besides, the four gentlemen of Ctrip have all left Ctrip and started their own businesses, and there is no one who can save Ctrip. Where to go Johnson is also very capable, except for missing Twitter, which is very regrettable, but there is no such perfect thing in this world.

If Ctrip acquires Qunar, and then Johnson becomes the CEO of Ctrip, this kind of replication of Zhou Shi's stay in Yahoo may be very marketable.

"This matter ...... Ma San, he is a $50 billion Chinese giant enterprise, Ctrip only has a market capitalization? It's only about $4.5 billion, and it seems that such a small business, a small business, is not something he can acquire if he wants to."

"Are you sure?"

"Fifty percent...... No, this matter is just a preliminary idea, several of Ctrip's founders and shareholders are not the kind of rigid people, Johnson Chao's Qunar has full potential, and the management level is not bad, and the main thing is that we can influence Qunar, this matter is beneficial to both parties, from a point of view, there is a lot of hope...... "Zhou Shi, there are no successful start-up companies in Modu, and it is also a Ctrip that is well-known, but the moral level is low. Ma De, in fact, the government should be blamed for this, which is the result of the government's inaction. In mature markets such as the United States and imperialism, it is difficult for such shameless enterprises to exist in places with sound legal systems.

"You can give it a try!"

"If the two parties merge, Ctrip's strengths can be established, and then improve their management level, the new Ctrip may be a good addition to insurance sales. "Zhou Shi

"By the way, we have set up a financial asset exchange in the magic capital, and we are going to do Internet finance, are you interested in joining?"

"Internet finance, Ping An has already begun to do?" Zhou Shi, time has not set foot in this area, and it is only consolidating its advantages in the field of financial payment.

"It started last year!" said Ma San

"To what extent can we be involved?" Zhou Shi

"Thirty-five percent, I'm very sincere. "Ma San, if you copy one-third of the shares, you will have a veto, and Ping An's sincerity is indeed there.

"Forty-five percent, you can focus your energy and resources on making it bigger, and time can also be added to provide technical support for it. "Zhou Shi

"Okay, Time and Thought hold a total of 45% of the shares!" Ma San, the current Internet finance has just begun, and there is no benefit distribution, mainly to give the two sides a channel for cooperation.

"By the way, where is this company?" Zhou Shi

"Of course, in Lujiazui, this is the financial center of the magic capital!"

"Wow~~ Lu Jinsuo?" Zhou Shi was amazed in his heart, and suddenly felt embarrassed, just wanted to plagiarize the idea of Ping An Good Doctor, and they immediately sent Lu Jinsuo to him again, was he too harsh on Ping An?

The head of Lufax is Ji Kuisheng, who has served as the chief innovation officer of Ping An Insurance Group and the chairman and CEO of Ping An Fortune Pass since May 2011. Zhou Shi doesn't have much opinion on this, Yu Bao hasn't come out yet, and P2P is not his focus.

After that, the communication between the two was cordial and pleasant, and all kinds of cooperation matters would be handed over to others to be promoted, so they didn't have to worry about it. Hu Zuniu was also on the side, and several people chatted casually together, talking about Zhou Shi's overseas trip.

"Liverpool has been run by you, which has shocked those who think of your jokes, Abu should be angry! This Russian oligarch has invested so much to no avail. "Ma San

"I don't know, I didn't see him when I went to the UK this time!" Zhou Shi

"Haha~~ It seems to be avoiding you! But you're too lucky. "Ma San

"It's very lucky, the key is that the management personnel are competent, and I don't care if Liverpool makes money or not, and gives them enough room to operate!" Zhou Shi said so, try another person, even if he has more money, it is difficult to do this without his influence. After all, the Champions League can be considered operational. In a sense, Zhou Shi can influence the world's Internet communication channels, traditional media also have Disney as the backing, coupled with the advertising sponsorship of several of his major enterprises, can be carrots and sticks are ready, plus some people's lobbying, if UEFA is too unacquainted, Zhou Shi has to be sorry. After all, there is no more influential person than him in the owner of the entire European football club, although Mansour's family wealth has copied Zhou Shi, but the influence of global public opinion is not on the same level as him.

"Your method of selecting people is also first-class......" Ma San

"No, I think I'm lucky, I have always had someone to help me!" Zhou Shi looked at Hu Zuniu, talent may always be the first productive force.

"It's also my honor to be able to do things for Mr. Zhou!" Hu Zuniu

"Lao Hu is a talent I can't even invite!" Ma San

"Who made you a state-owned enterprise, I am a private enterprise, we are more flexible!" Zhou Shi

"And it's more ideal!" said Hu Zuniu

"Ideal~~" Ma San, "Hey, now it can be said that there are not many ideals!"

"Yes, who let us have this world-level tyrant as support, he has always told me not to think about how to make money, this time he is ready to lose billions of dollars!"

"Mr. Zhou is going to lose billions, what project, see if I can lose a little!" Ma Sancai didn't believe that Zhou Shi would take the initiative to lose money.

"Okay, if I can, of course, I'm going to buy British EMI Music!" Zhou Shi
