Magic City.

Two companies in the same city have very different fates.

Grapefruit Technology.

Inside the CEO's office, smoke fills the air.

Zhu Jun snuffed out the cigarette and said in a hoarse voice: "Lu Yu, what do you think about the acquisition of the microcosm?"

"What do you say about Cheetah Mobile?"

"Alas, they want to sell it, relieve their stress.

You know, Cheetah Mobile's market cap has always been low, and selling a stake in our project has helped to stimulate a boost to their market cap. ”

The more Zhu Jun thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he couldn't help laughing at himself: "We planned to surpass Douyin and grab back domestic users, but we didn't expect to be acquired by others in a blink of an eye." ”

Lu Yu is a fat man of about 1.7 meters, and he teamed up with Zhu Jun to found this pomelo technology, and its only product is Y.

It can be said that Douyin is completely a Y-pixel-level copy product, which Shen Lang also admits.

Maybe Y and domestic users have no fate, but overseas, Y's development is impressive.

A valuation of $1 billion is enough to show Y's potential.

But compared to the $6 billion valuation just announced by Douyin, the gap is too big.

The demographic dividend in China is so powerful, and Zhu Jun and Lu Yu are just preparing to return to China and regain domestic users.

Even Weibo has officially shouted the slogan, and has repeatedly said that Douyin is just a plagiarized product of Y.

Lu Yu lit another cigarette, and Zhu Jun's lips moved without stopping.

"Hehe, we shouldn't have given the cheetah such a high right to move in the first place. Lu Yu couldn't help but say angrily.

Zhu Jun shook his head when he heard this: "When we went overseas, if it weren't for the five million angel round investment given by Cheetah Mobile, we wouldn't have survived, and we can only blame Cheetah Mobile for being too weak." ”

Saying that, Zhu Jun couldn't help but envy Douyin, which is also a short video product, but Douyin is like the pride of the sky, born with a golden key.

In contrast, Y is like an illegitimate child, despondent and going overseas to develop.

finally accumulated some strength to return to China, and suddenly found that Douyin had officially ascended the throne!

And when it comes to the weapons and ammunition held by both sides, Y is not the opponent of Douyin.

Douyin has a lot of money, with billions of advertising revenue a year, and just got $600 million from Shen Lang, so acquiring Y, a competitor, is as easy as playing.

The silence in the office was broken by the ringtone of the mobile phone on the coffee table, Zhu Jun reached out to pick it up and took a look, and said to Lu Yu: "It's Mr. Fu." ”

Zhu Jun answered the channel: "Mr. Fu, I am Zhu Jun." ”

Fu Sheng is the chairman and CEO of Cheetah Mobile, one of the most legendary product managers in China.

"I didn't mean anything else when I called, we were already talking about it with the microcosm. ”

Even if Zhu Jun knew that this would be the result, he still couldn't help but feel cold in his heart: "I know, Mr. Fu, can you ask how much the price is?"

"One billion dollars, this time thanks to Kuaishou, if it weren't for Kuaishou's insertion, we wouldn't have been able to make an extra profit. ”

Fu Sheng hung up the phone with a smile.

Lu Yu sneered: "A billion dollars will ruin our dreams, hehe, what a bunch of guys who only know interests." ”

Zhu Jun said helplessly: "Okay, as long as the cheetah moves and things don't turn around, let's be ready." ”

Lu Yu snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash: "Let's go, Fu Sheng's bastard will make him pay some price sooner or later." ”

Zhu Jun patted Lu Yu on the back: "We can't realize our dreams through the microcosm, and in the future, we can focus on developing overseas, and let Douyin and Kuaishou fight to the death in China." ”

said it easily, but the two of them were a little lonely.

Y is just a little bit worse, and he completely defeats Maicheng.

Now that they have been acquired, Zhu Jun and Lu Yu both know that they can't blame others, they can only blame them for not having that fate.

……

belongs to the same city, not long after Fu Sheng called, Zhu Jun and Lu Yu came to the micro building.

"Tut, look at the style of the people, we are also an exclusive animal company, and we have to rent an office. Zhu Jun couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Yu looked at the microscopic building shining in the sun with some unwillingness.

"Well, if we were given the chance, maybe we would have our own mansion. ”

Lu Yu and Zhu Jun walked into the micro building, reported the information at the front desk, and after the front desk confirmed that there was indeed an appointment, they took them upstairs by elevator.

Zhu Jun has been observing the microcosm, looking at the information on each floor posted in the elevator, and can't help but change color slightly.

"Lao Lu, look at these companies, micro cloud music, micro selection, tsk, they are all unicorns!"

Lu Yu glanced at it when he heard this, and couldn't help but exclaim: "No wonder we lost so quickly, we didn't even have a chance to fight, I estimate that even if we fight, we may lose very badly." ”

Zhu Jun nodded: "We are fighting against a traffic empire! I don't dare to think how bold we were before." ”

Even if Y has 20 million daily active users worldwide and 8 million daily active users in North America, what about that?

Douyin's 120 million daily active users in China are enough to wipe everything out, and the valuation of $6 billion is the most vivid example.

When he arrived at the general manager's office, the secretary in the room opened the door and said to Chen Yun: "Mr. Chen, the guests of Miyu Technology have arrived." ”

Zhu Jun and Lu Yu walked into the office and saw Chen Yun in the office, beautiful, dignified, and graceful.

This is a common feeling in the hearts of the two.

"Hello Mr. Chen, I'm Zhu Jun, and I'm next to Lu Yu. Zhu Junxian introduced.

Zhu Jun recognizes the situation very well, and Y is about to merge into the microcosm.

Chen Yun, a well-known strong woman in the business world, naturally became the direct leader of the two of them.

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Sit, I took the liberty of inviting the two of you to come, just to talk to you first." ”

Zhu Jun and Lu Yu both sat down, then glanced at each other and said, "Mr. Chen, when will the specific acquisition be completed?"

"It can be done tomorrow at the earliest, and we have the funds ready. Chen Yun replied with a smile.

Zhu Jun couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Mr. Chen, we are not unjustly defeated, we can't fight Douyin just for the ammunition." ”

You don't need anything else, as long as Douyin can make money by watching videos online, you can easily kill y.

Lu Yu asked aloud next to him: "Mr. Chen, I want to know your plans after we are acquired?"

Chen Yun saw the nervousness in the hearts of Zhu Jun and the others, after all, they were acquired, and trust was a problem.

It is very likely that Douyin will send its own candidates, which is all a matter of course.

"Don't worry, I have asked Shen Dong for instructions, Shen Dong and I are optimistic about you, and we plan to continue to hand over Y to you. ”

Zhu Jun and Lu Yu couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised: "Thank you so much to Shen Dong and Mr. Chen, we will definitely try our best to do a good job and open up more markets for Douyin." ”

Chen Yun nodded with a smile, there is no experience in Douyin overseas, instead of developing blindly, it is better to use Zhu Jun and Lu Yu to expand the market.

As long as the time is ripe, Chen Yun doesn't care whether Zhu Jun and Lu Yu stay or leave.

I talked with Zhu Jun and Lu Yu for an afternoon.

The next morning, Douyin officially announced that Douyin officially acquired Y at a price of one billion US dollars.

Zhu Jun and Lu Yu also said in an interview with reporters that they are full of expectations for Y's merger into Douyin, and will actively integrate into the team of Douyin to develop overseas markets.

In an instant, Douyin's valuation increased again, and the number of daily active users around the world officially reached 150 million.

Officially surpassed Kuaishou and won the king of domestic short video platforms!
