Chapter 410: The waves are too much

Since its listing on the NASDAQ, Mr. Ma has been a bit of a wave in the past two years, and the Zhongqu Group led by him has three largest e-commerce websites in China, ranking first in B2B, B2C and C2C at the same time, with the two largest group buying brands and the largest electronic payment business in China's market share, and the world's first in the newly born taxi APP field, and the first in Asia in the hotel, ticketing and online food delivery fields.

In the field of Chinese search, through the holding of Sogou and the cooperation with Yahoo, it has entered the search, big data and cloud computing markets.

In May 2013, the total market value of Zhongqu Group exceeded 250 billion US dollars, ranking among the six major high-tech enterprises in the world.

With such a performance, Mr. Ma can indeed make waves.

Waves, yes.

If the waves are too much, it's not good!

Mr. Ma has been overdone recently, planning to buy Du Niang, or Yahoo.

It's a bit embarrassing to say this, Baidu has been holding 1/3 of the shares for a long time since he started his business, and in 2005, Baidu chose AIG Asia Fund and Google to increase his holdings in order to dilute the shares of Galaxy Capital, but was almost forcibly merged by Google, and finally could only rely on the Haixing Holdings of the Huayin Consortium to solve the problem - the mystery of this matter, in fact, no one has figured it out so far.

In 2008, the Huayin consortium suddenly took control of AIG Group, and the situation instantly became more embarrassing.

Today, among the top ten shareholders of Baidu, except for Google and Baidu Venture Fund, the other eight are actually affiliated with the Huayin consortium.

Baidu's senior management is not stupid, and today, in fact, they have seen through it, Google may also be one, otherwise it is impossible to explain why Google prefers to cooperate with Tencent and Zhongqu rather than Baidu, which is owned by Google.

Dizzy.

Baidu's Mr. Yan has really been a little silent in recent years, a little sad, to do business to this point, he is not sad no, the whole system originally established single-handedly, from the browser to the anti-virus software was abolished by the board of directors on the grounds of ineffective investment, paste bar, encyclopedia, map, cloud disk These advantageous large projects continue to remain, completely dependent on other browsers in China.

So far, the Xu family's overseas trust fund still firmly controls about 40% of the shares of Google and Apple, and also holds more than 1/3 of the shares in Amazon.

In the global network technology market, since TT Alliance nearly monopolized the Chinese network market in 2004, Xu Teng has been continuously promoting the internationalization process of Tenx Group in the past decade.

From 2004 to 2013, Xu Teng's Tencent Group has been based on the security business and social network as the center, the global merger and acquisition of 15 network technology companies in the field of security, covering the world in the field of security soft, ranking the absolute leading first, through the acquisition of the United States ASK search, Lycos search and Firefox browser, long-term maintenance of the world's second largest browser and search business, although in the PC field, Tencent is only 1/3 of Google's scale, but in the field of mobile search, Tencent has always been ahead of Google by an absolute margin.

In the field of social networking, Weibo and WeChat have been very strong in the globalization process, which has always occupied half of the global social network, and holds a 35% stake in Facebook, the world's second largest social network company.

In the three fields of cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence, Tencent has always been the earliest pioneer and market leader, and is the most important leader in the global network market.

Of the four major high-tech groups under the Huayin consortium, Tencent has always been the core pillar and the one with the highest market capitalization, with an ultra-high market value of $500 billion along with Apple.

Ma Zhen and Zhongqu Group have been a bit of a wave in the past two years, but they also actively want to make a difference in the field of big data, and the layout is very early, and they do not hesitate to fight in the same room, hoping to achieve the group's goals through the acquisition of Baidu.

Ma Feng is very clear that this is actually just a matter of Xu Teng's words, because Baidu has long been a member of the TT Alliance, and Tencent Group occupies half of the field of Chinese search, and cannot acquire Baidu due to antitrust provisions, while Zhongqu Group is not restricted.

In order to avoid public opposition, Ma Zheng has repeatedly emphasized that he is the top person in charge of Zhongqu Group and has absolute control over the past two years.

Therefore, Xu Teng said that Mr. Ma has been a bit too much in the past two years.

Xu Teng also has an auto industry meeting to hold in the morning, because he was forced to meet with this group of politicians at 4V and was delayed for two hours, and now he is in a hurry to go back, hoping to try to end the meeting before 11:30, so that he can hurry to pick up the children from school.

Xia Li seems to be an elegant goddess who always doesn't care, but in fact, she is still quite afraid of losing face, and she has really started to practice hard recently.

Man.

How many times do you indulge in a fight and enjoy the song of life?

Since Xu Teng agrees with Xia Li to participate in the second season of "Singer", he must take practical actions to support, and he can't always let Xia Li sacrifice her life and time, right.

This year, as long as he is in Jiangzhou, he will try his best to pick up and drop off his children from school.

For a father, this is his responsibility, and he enjoys the process, after all, in a few years, he wants to send his children to school, and the children don't want it!

Cherish every stage of life, it's over, it's over, it's over, and you can't go back.

Xu Teng hurriedly left the Xishan Hotel, and as soon as he got in the car, Ma Zhu chased after him quickly, and he had to squeeze into the car, wanting to use the 20 minutes that Xu Teng had returned to the company's headquarters to negotiate.

The Tan driver in the car has been following Xu Teng for nearly ten years, when Xu Teng was attacked in Weizhou, he was the special police officer who was responsible for carrying a gun and accompanying him in the province, what did he not understand?

Even if Ma Yu closed the car door and chatted with Xu Teng, Driver Tan was not in a hurry to drive on the road, but waited for Xu Teng's instructions.

Xu Teng is looking at the new tablet PC in his hand, the 14-inch Huateng smart tablet is about the same size as the notebook PC, and his performance is definitely not worse than the mid-to-high-end commercial notebook PC.

Ma Zheng didn't rush to talk about Zhongqu Group, but asked Xu Teng how the agreement with TSMC was discussed, and this matter also had a certain impact on Zhongqu Group.

In recent years, Zhongqu Group has invested a lot in the field of big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence, and has signed a long-term cooperation strategy with Lenovo and Inspur in the server, preparing to jointly design a dedicated server-level chip - this is just blowing, mainly relying on Huateng Electronics Group to solve most of the problems, and the design is more targeted and meets the requirements of the e-mall.

Their main job is to design a new database architecture according to their own needs, and the servers and chips must be matched accordingly, and then widely rented to merchants and enterprises doing e-commerce.

According to Ma Zong's planning and process requirements, the order for this chip is indeed only fulfilled by TSMC and Intel.

"Shi Lirong is talking, don't worry for the time being." Xu Teng can still understand Ma Zheng on this issue, after all, Ma Zheng has been aiming at the database system business for a long time, and as early as 2007, he persuaded Xu Teng to acquire MySQL database company with Tencent Group, and then upgraded the open source MySQL to MIDS, establishing a database system that can compete with Oracle.

In the Huayin Consortium, the database business is currently in charge of Kingsoft under Tencent Group, which is mainly oriented to industrial production types, while Ma Zheng is mainly oriented to small and medium-sized commercial customers in Zhongqu Group, and is bundled with Zhongqu Group.

It is difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to have their own servers, and Zhongqu Group, together with the server rental business, packages and sells, rents servers and sends databases.

At present, in China, there is still a gap between Kingsoft database itself and Oracle's market share, but it is not large, especially in the field of large customers, Kingsoft has gained the upper hand, coupled with this set of innovative business of Zhongqu Group, it is basically a completion of the transcendence of Oracle.

Of course, the combined revenue of both parties in this field is only 1/5 of Oracle.

"I'm not in a hurry about this, actually...... I still want to expand the business in the field of big data as soon as possible, and I still insist on my opinion, Tencent and Zhongqu have different big data business directions, and in contrast, Zhongqu Group has more potential in the field of big data. Ma Zhen said this at least twenty times.

"Hmm!" Xu Teng didn't want to correct it, just looked at the latest email on the tablet, and only then did he say to Driver Tan, "Let's go, I have a lot of things to do at noon, I'm afraid it's too late to go to kindergarten, you wait and pick them up with Sister Hong, go early." ”

"Good!" Driver Tan nodded.

Xu Teng continued to flip through the report submitted by the newly appointed CEO of Huateng Automobile Group, Stader, which is a long-term plan for the throne of the world's No. 1 automobile company, which is only sent to Xu Teng for the time being.

The idea is still good, the thinking is also very clear, and it meets Xu Teng's consistent requirements, there is nothing to be afraid of, what's wrong with Toyota, since it has reached this point, then resolutely start it.

Xu Teng's Rolls-Royce Ghost soon hit the highway and left the ancient city where the Xishan Hotel was located.

"Say it!" Xu Teng was distracted and dual-purpose, while looking at the new report of the automobile industry, he wanted to listen to Ma Zong explain his thoughts clearly, and the provincial Mr. Ma stared at it every day.

"I think the next step of Zhongqu Group is to bundle e-commerce and big data as the long-term strategy and direction of Zhongqu, because Zhongqu serves both enterprises and individuals, while Tencent mainly serves individuals, which is the special advantage of Zhongqu in big data and cloud computing, and it is irreplaceable. In the future Industry 4.0 era, it will inevitably be based on the system of public interest, rather than the system of Tencent. The implication is that the consortium should transfer the R&D center of big data to Zhongqu Group

"Then I'll merge you, okay?" Xu Teng blocked Mr. Ma with a word.

"So?" Mr. Ma was a little embarrassed, of course, after the merger, it was handed over to him for control, and it could still be merged.

"We have four major technology groups, especially Tencent, Zhongqu and Huateng Electronics, the three must cooperate closely with each other, you always grab other people's business, how to cooperate in the future? Yes, you now have an advantage, you can grab Tang Jun's territory. Old Tang has a relatively gentle personality, strong coordination skills, and is good at obeying the overall arrangement, which may be said that you agree, but are you sure that the other partners of Tencent do not want to kill you? Xu Teng said very directly, Ma Zhen has repeatedly grabbed business from Tencent, and sooner or later he will be regarded as a wild dog by Tencent, and all employees will boycott it.

At that point, it will be difficult for the big four technology groups to coordinate and cooperate.

"Chairman, what you said is very right, but I think we should still consider the problem from the perspective of the market, according to our expectations of e-commerce and industry 4.0, the enterprise that is really suitable to lead the development of the big data industry in the future can only be Zhongqu Group, I believe my judgment is correct." This Mr. Ma adheres to his realistic idealistic principles.

Xu Teng finally couldn't be distracted and continued to read the report of the automobile industry, he turned off the tablet, and thought about it seriously, he was not thinking about Ma Zheng's words, but thinking about his mistakes.

When we acquired MySQL database in 2007, it was just a matter for Tencent Group, and we had been preparing for it for several years, talking about it for four or five rounds, and the research and development of the MySQL data system lasted for four years.

In the end, it was contested by Ma Fang several times, and it became a joint shareholding between the two companies, and there were quite a lot of complaints from Jinshan Ansoft Company.

At the beginning, in order to promote the interest of the people, Ma Zheng did a relatively ruthless job, on the grounds of safety, he blocked QQ's online shopping baby if he didn't agree with him, forcing Xu Teng to come forward to stop it.

Ma Zhu grabbed once, Lao Tang wiped his ass once, Ma Zhu grabbed twice, Lao Tang wiped his ass twice.

This is also Lao Tang's high emotional intelligence, focusing on the overall situation, focusing on Xu Teng's big decision-making direction, and replacing those hard characters of Tencent's software faction back then, he has long faced off with Zhongqu Group from top to bottom.

To tell the truth, Xu Teng was very angry at the time, and even the words of withdrawing Ma Zhen were soaring within Huateng Company, because Tencent and Zhongqu must be closely integrated, and if there are problems to solve, they can't be solved below, they can be solved among the joint partners, and it really can't be solved by him.

So again and again, again and again, how to cooperate?

Including the issue of WeChat payment, because of Ma Zong's strong opposition, this matter was not officially launched last year, but this does not mean that Tencent will stop this matter, on the contrary, it is just more fully prepared, and the technology and platform are more prepared.

"Chairman, I think ......!" Ma Zheng thought that he was about to convince Xu Teng, and couldn't help but work harder, because he was convinced that he was right, and the entire Zhongqu Group held many internal meetings, and repeatedly felt that the consortium should hand over all the big data and database business to them.

"Mr. Ma, how many annual meetings have you attended?" Xu Teng interrupted him and asked a very strange question.

"Hmm...... 7 times, the first time I participated in '06, I remember it very well. Ma Zhen didn't understand the true meaning of this question, but he still recalled it very seriously.

"You may be the best senior partner, but as a joint partner, you don't qualify, and you don't have to attend next year's annual meeting." After Xu Teng finished speaking, he turned on the tablet PC again and continued to read his report.

He made a decision, and in this way, Ma Zheng temporarily retained the position of joint partner, and the actual authority was suspended.

According to the rules of the Huayin Consortium, a joint partner is a subordinate first-class industrial group, and no joint partner is a first-class holding company, both of which are first-class subsidiaries of "China Huateng Industrial Holding Group Corporation", but the gap is relatively large, and there are obvious differences in the treatment and status of senior management.

To put it simply, the primary industrial group is the core enterprise of the Huayin consortium, and the primary holding company belongs to the supporting company of the core enterprise, with the former being the main and the latter being the auxiliary.

For example, although the industrial scale and weight of the South Tungsten Group are not low, it is not only the most advanced technology and the second largest cemented carbide supplier in China, but also one of the very few suppliers of rare earth mining and deep processing in China that can be ranked with central enterprises, but unfortunately there has been no joint partner, so it can only belong to the ranks of 50+ first-class holding companies.

A comparison between South Tungsten Group and Huateng Precision Industry Group is a typical supporting tool for Huateng Precision Industry Group to assist Huateng Precision Industry Group to solve domestic machine tool and tool problems.

Of course, the status of South Tungsten Group in the Huayin Consortium is one level higher than Baidu.

Because the Huayin Consortium is a hidden holding company for Baidu, it is not included in the ranks of 50+ first-level holding companies, even if Mr. Yan has been prepared for a long time, and he completely copied the partner mechanism of the Huayin Consortium in 09, but the set of partners he engaged in does not belong to the partner system recognized by the Huayin Consortium.

In all this, as a joint partner, Ma Wei knows better than anyone that if his joint partner qualification is deprived, it means that no matter how high the market value of Zhongqu Group is, it will only do auxiliary supporting work for Tencent Group.

Xu Teng had nothing to add, read the report quietly, went to the parking lot of Huateng Building, and let Ma Zheng get out of the car by himself.

The disqualification of a joint partner needs to be voted on at the annual meeting, which is why Ma Zheng does not need to attend the 2014 annual meeting, Xu Teng wants to submit a vote to ban Ma Zong's joint partner status, and the next step may be to replace a person as the chairman of Zhongqu Group.

This candidate is actually ready-made.

Xu Teng can put forward three or four suitable candidates at any time, who are not so prodigal, not so annoying, and can work closely with other first-class industrial groups.

Ma Zhen has never thought about this matter, Xu Teng has actually been thinking about it for a long time, and even discussed it with Li Daxiao and Tang Jun.

Strictly speaking, this judgment may not be wrong, but there are too many uncertainties in the development history of network technology.

Zhongqu Group's Taobao, eBay Mall, Dianping, Meituan...... In fact, they may all be replaced by new business models over time.

If someone says that within 5 years, he can overthrow the dominance of Zhongqu Group in China's e-commerce field, Xu Teng will think that this person has a brain disease and a nervous disorder.

If someone says that 20 years later, Zhongqu Group is still the sole hegemon of China's e-commerce, Xu Teng will also feel that this person has a brain disease.

Even Xu Teng doesn't know what kind of changes will occur in the future development of network technology.

Because he was not sure, he stuck to the core element of Ansoft, acquired Symantec, AVIRA and AVG, and controlled Kaspersky, firmly establishing Tencent as the world's only hegemon in the field of global information security network technology, and comprehensively covering the four fields of PC, mobile, enterprise, and carrier.

In the PC field, he does not have an advantage, and the entire Huayin consortium seems to have three points: Lenovo, Huateng, and TCL, but in fact, there is only one Lenovo seedling.

On the mobile side, the Huayin consortium almost occupies an absolute advantage, only Samsung is missing, and the market share is also squeezed by only 10%.

For every 10 smartphones sold worldwide, 9 use Tencent's information security platform, and 7 use Tencent-controlled Android systems and browsers.

In other words, Tencent can collect all the big data that Zhongqu Group can collect.

Ma Wei also doesn't know that the real data is not what kind of products and designs customers like, what kind of price they like, but the total amount of global resource supply, the data of production capacity, the distribution of talents, and the flow of international capital.

Tencent and Google have always been able to maintain cooperation, and there has been no scandal of BAT in a certain year due to fierce competition in the search market, except for the similarities at the board level, the real key is data sharing.

Whether it is Tencent Browser or Google Chrome, both parties can use each other's search engines at will, and even joint search applications with each other to jointly squeeze Microsoft's Bing Search and Internet Explorer.

On Android, the two sides have established a joint venture company, with Tencent Group holding 55% of the shares, Google holding 45% of the shares, and 50:50 voting rights, making joint decisions.

If Google CEO Lali Page had been like Ma Zhu, who had to grab everything and fight for everything, the promised "healthy competition that will never do evil", "innovation competition" and "service for mankind" technology alliance between Google and Tencent would have collapsed long ago.

Between Huateng Electronics and Apple, it is also a similar "innovation competition", in the research and development of major technologies, has maintained a close cooperation situation, also based on an important spirit, you first, I second, let's keep this position, don't let the third up.

Google, Apple, this is the external cooperative enterprise of the Huayin consortium.

Tencent and Zhongqu are close cooperation enterprises within the consortium...... XU TENG TOLD THE TRUTH, IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, ZHONGQU DIDN'T THINK ABOUT COMPETING WITH AMAZON AND EBAY IN OVERSEAS MARKETS, AND TRIED TO FIGHT TENCENT EVERY DAY, JUST WANTED TO BE THE LARGEST NETWORK TECHNOLOGY COMPANY IN CHINA, AND WANTED TO BE THE NO1 WITHIN THE HUAYIN CONSORTIUM, AND HE WAS ALREADY CRAZY.

In the past two years, it has indeed been a very popular stage, and it is normal for senior management and middle-level employees to have ideas, and as a joint partner of the consortium, they actually think about it the most, which is really a problem.

Xu Teng actually has nothing to say, depending on the situation, if the situation does not improve, next year he will directly propose to revoke the position of Mr. Ma's co-partner, and transfer Tang Hailing, executive president of the international investment department of Huateng Company, to suppress the arrogance over there.

He doesn't have to be biased towards Tencent, but the depth of technology and the stickiness of the platform determine that Tencent is more important to the Huayin Consortium.
