654. The wolf must not be lured into the house
It is a rare task to persuade Wang Teng to give up Yahoo's financing, as we all know, to engage in Internet companies, especially in the early stage, is actually a very money-burning project.
Especially Li Yifan, who is a person who has come over, knows very well that the development of the Internet industry in China, any Internet company, at the beginning of becoming bigger and stronger, will face the initial stage of crazy lack of money.
To put it bluntly, all companies, at the beginning of the listing, have to lose money and make money, beat their reputation, occupy enough market share, squeeze competitors out of the market, and then be able to pick up the knife and feast, and the days after squeezing the opponent out of the market will undoubtedly be the happiest moment for all Internet companies.
But before the opponent is defeated and squeezed out, everyone can only fight with real knives and guns, to put it bluntly, it is to burn money, than whose family foundation is thick, who burns more, whose fame is big, and whose market share will be enough.
Think about a few years later, when all the Internet company operators, after realizing this, they are crazy to burn money, and the actions of these Internet companies now are simply pediatric compared to the actions of Internet companies at that time.
From the beginning of Shenzhou Car Rental, and then to the later e-commerce war, everyone's money-burning behavior once attracted the attention of the Chinese people, and once occupied the front pages of major news media.
These crazy money-burning measures have burned down Shenzhou Car Rental, and also burned Jingdong Mall, everyone is crazy to throw money into this market, of course, the ending is that some people are happy and some are worried.
Some companies have become industry leaders. There are also companies. zuihou because he can't do it. Zuihou can only be reduced to bankruptcy or annexation.
And when that crazy era came, the current Wang Teng and his Forty Thieves Company had already achieved success in this circle and had established their own unshakable position, so although there were many challengers later, there were indeed not many companies that could really threaten the status of Wang Teng and his Forty Thieves Company. out of the latecomer with a net worth and capital similar to him, the owner of the little penguin......
But at that time, Wang Teng and his forty thieves company were able to go forward and burn money one after another in the era of crazy money burning and smashing fame in the circle, so as to benefit the peak and laugh proudly, because of their crazy money-burning activities a few years earlier.
In 2005, the Big Forty Thieves were just a small company with an annual profit of less than $50 million, but it was because of Yahoo's billion-dollar financing that they had plenty of ammunition in the B2B field. In the case of not being able to break the deadlock, zuihou is in the C2C field. But he completed the move to unify the rivers and lakes.
So realistically speaking, in fact, Yahoo's billion dollars are not 1 billion, but 690 million dollars in cash, which is very important for the development of the 40 thieves in the future.
But another thing to note is that in this life, Americans are only willing to pay 500 million, and only 360 million in cash, and now this 360 million dollars is really that important?
You must know that the real development of the Forty Thieves Company was actually because of the coincidence of chance, because the life of the low-level people in Huaguo was difficult, and in the face of rising expenses, everyone had to choose a new shopping and lifestyle, which made Wang Teng hit the luck.
And this luck is not an ordinary luck, but a great luck that has magnified the company's assets hundreds or thousands of times at once.
He Wang Teng and his company made a lot of money with this luck, and the Americans who intervened early didn't make the same lot of money?
And zuihou Americans are not reconciled, so muffled to make a lot of money, they also habitually want to quietly intervene, control the company, they want more, because Americans have always been known for their big appetite, which has also led to a series of embarrassments when the zuihou forty thieves are facing the problem of listing.
In the American market, the forty thieves don't dare to go at all, because where is the home of the Americans, people even have napkins around their necks, and the knives and forks in their hands are even more shining.
On the side of the Xiangjiang stock market, the managers of the financial sector of Xiangjiang licked the asshole of the Americans vigorously, and the AB shares that had been stuck with Wang Teng for a long time did not let go, which made Wang Teng very dilemma at that time.
In fact, according to the company's profits at that time, the Forty Thieves Company could not be listed at all, but there were Americans inside the company who were stirring up, and there were also many domestic magnates facing pressure outside.
On the other hand, if the company is listed, in the face of the sniping of massive funds and the expansion of the board of directors, he Wang Teng is likely to lose absolute control of the company, which leads to the dilemma of Wang Teng and his forty thieves in the state at that time.
And now the Americans' layout is earlier than in the previous life, and Wang Teng and the forty thieves are the most short of money, even if Li Yifan doesn't want the Americans to come in, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince Wang Teng, so now this has risen to the point where not only Wang Teng feels a headache, but even Li Yifan also feels a headache.
"Xiao Li, in fact, recently, I have been constantly thinking about this problem, although our company's future prospects are very good, but the competition it faces is not small. Now the Americans through eBay, in the constant like us to launch a challenge, we are just in the country is just gaining a foothold, and our forty thieves website is just beginning to make a profit, but now if we don't lay out early, the future of the company's prospects can be unpredictable, after all, the purpose of our forty thieves website, is to make good use of the status of our Huaguo shijie factory, as far as possible to domestic and international import and export traders, to provide a good platform, If we want our company to really develop, we must go to the international market to make a splash, and we must make our platform famous in the international market, so that more foreigners know our website. ”
Seeing Li Yifan's hesitation, Wang Teng here is also very anxious, he now wants Yahoo's financing very much, not only because of money, but also because he can control Yahoo Huaguo, as long as he controls this website, then even if he is involved in the portal, he has mastered a search engine, so that he can promote it more vigorously in China, their forty thieves website.
This is what he has been looking forward to, and now many people have not seen the power of this search engine, but as a person in the circle of Internet companies, Wang Teng is deeply aware of the prospects of this thing.
Now Google in the United States has begun to become popular, according to their usual practice, once they establish their position in the United States, they will begin to expand in the whole Shijie, and now I heard that some people in China have begun to make such search engines.
As a businessman who has been in the Internet field for many years, he was soon keenly aware of the business opportunities here, in the Internet era, as long as there are new ideas in the United States, and as long as you take the lead in copying these in China, you will definitely be able to make money.
Don't you see that the three major portals in China now, as well as the little penguin, and even their own forty thieves' websites, are not all copied from the Americans?
And he and these people are all pioneers, and these pioneers are undoubtedly full of food now.
And this search engine is the next piece of cake that the Americans make, and what everyone has to do is to take the lead in coming up with our own search engine before the Americans arrive.
Now that he has received the rumors, not only are there people in the capital who are doing it, but even the heads of several major portals are planning to do this, and even the guy who has been squatting in the south to engage in little penguins is also doing it, so where can he sit still?
And if he controls Yahoo Huaguo, then in the search engine, for him, this is a ready-made tool, although Yahoo's search engine, it seems to be not as powerful as Google, but people are also mature jishu, as long as they return to China to use it, it will definitely be a step faster than other people in China......
Wang Teng's abacus is very shrewd, and during this time, Li Yifan has been thinking about how to resolve this crisis, in his opinion, bringing Americans in is definitely a move to lure the wolf into the house, and such a move is absolutely not allowed to happen.
In the future of the domestic e-commerce field, but a big cake involving trillions of yuan, now Americans only spend 500 million US dollars, just want to get a piece of the pie, which is absolutely not allowed.
So what should I do next, so as to be able to dissolve Wang Teng's current and thirsty for money? If you persuade positively, it will definitely not work, and it may even cause Wang Teng's disgust, and it may even cause a rift in the cooperation between the two, so you have to work hard from other aspects.
Looking at Wang Teng, who was still talking about the benefits of this cooperation, Li Yifan couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, buddy, don't think about this search engine, after all, this thing is still done well by other professionals, do you think that if you get Yahoo Huaguo, you can really argue with that Qiandu?
