Chapter 1003: Angry
The reason why Zhao Ping refused, of course, was not because of any openness, but because Meituan was also one of their big customers. In order to enhance its competitiveness, Meituan has been advertising on eating and broadcasting.
In addition, Zhao Ping's arrogance is also a reason, he doesn't like others to dictate to him, not to mention that Dong Ming is still a woman, which makes him even more unhappy.
"I can compensate you for how much Meituan gives you. Dong Ming probably guessed his thoughts, compared to the funds consumed in market expansion, she didn't think Meituan could bring much profit to mukbo. The benefits that mukbang brings to Meituan are not something that can be calculated by advertising costs.
Of course, this depends on timing.
At this time, it is a critical moment in the group buying war, and eating and broadcasting has formed a balance in the middle, and whoever it favors can immediately take the advantage, so its value is much greater than usual.
"It's not about money, we've signed a contract with Meituan, and ruining the date would damage our company's credibility, which is priceless. Zhao Ping said.
"How much is the breach of contract, I will give you double. Dong Ming said.
"630 million, for the sake of partners, if you give 1.2 billion, I will agree to your request. Zhao Ping's complexion remained unchanged, as if he had never said anything about credibility or anything like that.
There is a shortage of money for mukbang, and when the traffic increases to a certain extent, the problem of insufficient company foundation is exposed. To improve in a short period of time, including manpower, equipment, technology, etc., it takes a lot of money.
Zhao Ping doesn't want to continue financing, so he will never let go of the opportunity to make money.
1.2 billion is a lot, enough for him to carry out a new round of product upgrades.
Dong Ming's face was quite embarrassed, although she expected that the other party would open her mouth, but the number of 1.2 billion was still difficult for her to accept. With this money, it is better to continue to invest in group buying.
She estimated that Maibo and Meituan would sign tens of millions of orders at most, and the contract breaking fee was as high as more than 600 million, which was too tricky. Is Zhao Ping so stupid? She didn't believe it.
"I am very sincere, and I hope that Mr. Zhao can also be honest with each other. Dong Ming said with anger in his endurance.
"I'm also very sincere. Zhao Ping said.
The two sides looked at each other, Zhao Ping looked calm and looked like he was sure of the other party, while Dong Ming secretly took a deep breath and said, "I will give up to 500 million." ”
Zhao Ping immediately replied: "Forget it, the company's reputation is priceless." ”
Dong Ming was almost deformed by his anger, and the other party made it clear that he wanted to pit a sum of money, and it was useless to say more. 500 million is really her bottom line, so Dong Ming got up directly, said goodbye and left.
As soon as he walked out of the door of Zhao Ping's company, Dong Ming's face immediately became cold: the headquarters had too few shares in the company to control them.
Dong Ming believes that for a product with huge potential and rapid development like eating and broadcasting, the headquarters should directly control it, not just invest in it. If the headquarters is in control, she won't have to be angry today, and the headquarters can make the food broadcast obediently cooperate with each other in one sentence.
While thinking, Dong Ming drove to the headquarters, and after making an appointment, he got Hang Yu's consent and immediately came to his office.
Seeing Dong Ming coming in aggressively, Hang Yu was surprised: "What happened?"
Dong Ming said: "Chairman, the competition of the group buying platform has reached a critical moment, and I need the help of the headquarters. Hang Yu replied: "Yes, how do you want the headquarters to help?" Dong Ming replied: "I hope that the headquarters will hold the food broadcast, let it stop cooperating with Meituan, and at the same time deepen cooperation with us." ”
Hang Yu immediately understood when he heard it, and he also paid a lot of attention to eating broadcasts, this platform is very similar to Douyin, but it is completely different. Its rapid development has made Hangyu have to pay attention to it.
Hang Yu is not sure how far it can go, but judging from the current situation, it is indeed a product worthy of headquarters holding.
The problem is that Zhao Ping refuses to continue financing, and Hang Yu can't force the other party.
"Weibo also has a strong drainage ability, I can ask the Weibo department to try its best to assist you and give you more promotion resources in the near future. Hang Yu said.
"That's naturally great, but on the side of eating and broadcasting, I think we should also hurry up. Dong Ming said.
Although Weibo has a strong drainage ability, there are too many partners and cannot simply serve the group buying platform, so the help for circumventing the wall is not as good as eating broadcasts.
There is another very important reason, the attributes of eating and broadcasting are more compatible with group buying platforms.
"Zhao Ping would rather stay the same than raise funds, in this case, it is difficult for us to control in a short period of time, unless there is any accident in the eating broadcast. Hang Yu said.
"Then let it be unexpected. Dong Ming is a matter of course.
Hang Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled, this Dong Ming is really unusual.
He remembered that Dong Ming used to be a very kind young lady, but he didn't expect that after becoming the leader of the group buying, he probably experienced the tempering of the group buying war and experienced some cruel business status, so his personality has changed a little, and he has no burden on business methods.
"Do you have any suggestions?" asked Hang Yu with interest.
"The reason why mukbang has developed so fast is inseparable from the support of Weibo, we can stop cooperating, and at the same time prohibit the use of mukbang on the wireless side. At present, most smartphone users will download Weibo, and with this point, we can ban mukbang. Dong Ming said.
"Isn't this just an either-or tactic? Hang Yu said.
In the previous computer housekeeper war, the penguins used this trick to deal with Weibo, but Hang Yu cooperated with Zhou Hongyi to defuse the penguin's attack. Later, Weibo developed its own computer manager, and at this time, the number of downloads of Weibo computer manager has exceeded that of Penguin and 360, ensuring the safe development of Weibo.
But if Hang Yu wants to use this trick to deal with others, he thinks it's inappropriate, because this is tantamount to tearing his face with Eatbo, and he still has shares in Eater.
Let everyone see this situation, it will definitely affect the reputation of Jiangyan Company, and you will get tired of watching too much.
"You dissipate your anger first, we haven't reached this level with Zhao Ping yet, so let's send someone to discuss with Zhao Ping, and I should be able to convince him." Hang Yu said.
Dong Ming reacted and understood that he was dizzy, so he calmed down and said, "Okay, I'll wait for news from the headquarters, but I hope this matter can be carried out as soon as possible, because time waits for no one." ”
Hang Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, our work efficiency is very high, order it today, and you will know the result tomorrow." ”
Dong Ming replied: "Thank you Chairman for your support. ”
After she left, Hang Yu immediately called the central office and called Yue Qin over. After Yue Qin came, Hang Yu told him about the relationship between eating and broadcasting and group buying wars, and asked him to train him.
Hang Yu's attitude is very clear: "At this critical moment, everyone should work together to make food broadcasts not just about making money." ”
Yue Qin understood as soon as he heard it, this was to test the pressure on the eating broadcast, so he turned around: "I will take care of them." He is very confident in the strength of Jiang Yan Company, although their shares in eating and broadcasting are not enough to influence decision-making, but Zhao Ping doesn't want to offend Jiang Yan Company, so he still has to listen to them.
