Luo Sheng definitely didn't expect that because of his reasons, Ali was already impatient to go public a year in advance.

Although Mr. Ma behaved lightly to the people under him, he was actually panicked in his heart, and Bluestar Technology has been in battle for a long time, and even Wall Street was overturned once last year.

This kind of competitor will panic when anyone encounters it, but he can't show it yet, not only can he not behave but he has to behave very calmly.

However, Mr. Ma's analysis is indeed very reasonable, Luo Sheng really can't put all his energy on this area now, the big business is too big.

It is not easy to mess with the three major strategies of Bluestar Technology alone, and it is necessary to mess with the "Snowman Plan" and the "Ladder Plan", and Star Arrow International is currently one of the focuses of Luo Sheng's main work.

Secondly, the project strategy of new energy vehicle companies on the Cote d'Azur, the strategy of the whole industrial chain of domestic semiconductors, the strategy of life science funds, etc.

The big business is so huge that it is enough to just sort out the strategy, Luo Sheng now almost doesn't care about the tactics, unless it is a very important node, such as WeChat, which is related to the entire group company's mobile Internet era.

As for e-sports, if the people below come to him to report on the affairs of the e-sports business group and make decisions, Luo Sheng will definitely train the other party to be bloody, and then fire the squid on the spot.

……

As the time entered mid-March, Luo Sheng, who had spent most of his time in Xingjian International and Pan Technology, took a break from it and took his private plane south to Pengcheng to attend this year's IT Leaders Summit.

This time, I stayed for two days and left.

"I'm sorry to tell you one thing, your magical aura is finally not bought by anyone." Qin Weimu entered the hotel room, she brought a document, Luo Sheng arrived more than ten minutes earlier than her.

"This is the fax material that Pang Lei just sent." As he spoke, Qin Weimu handed the materials in his hand to Luo Sheng, and took the materials and did not rush to open them, but looked at her and asked curiously: "Who doesn't buy my account?" ”

Qin Weimu replied: "The one you specifically named, Zhang Yiming, the founder of Toutiao." I find that your vision is really unique, and this person is indeed a little different from the other founders. ”

Luo Sheng smiled and didn't explain this, and asked rhetorically, "How do you say that?" ”

"I took a general look at the information sent by Pang Lei, which said that Zhang Yiming wrote a sentence that could summarize why he would refuse the investment of Bluestar Technology: I founded Toutiao, not to become an employee of Bluestar Technology. We hope to become a platform-level company with great value and significance to the society, mainly to express to employees or the industry that Toutiao still has its own ambitions. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Weimu couldn't help but praise: "I don't think you have looked away, Zhang Yiming's statement is really admirable." And he not only rejected us, but also rejected Ali, as if he did not hesitate to refuse as long as the giant invested. ”

Luo Sheng nodded and didn't speak, opened the materials and began to browse the content of Pang Lei's report, and Qin Weimu also went directly to the bathroom.

I have to say that Luo Sheng does appreciate Zhang Yiming, and in the past ten years to today, the domestic Internet market has basically been monopolized by "LATB".

Baidu has basically fallen behind, Ali has achieved a rise, Teng Xun has made a fortune, and Bluestar Technology is the face of Huaguo Internet Technology Company.

It is under such a market pattern, especially since this year, that almost all major start-ups have been acquired by Bluestar Technology or Ali or have been shared, while some start-ups are simply running under the tree to enjoy the shade, with the main goal of hugging their thighs or standing in line.

In this situation, Toutiao, founded by Zhang Yiming, can refuse the olive branch thrown by Bluestar Technology, which is equivalent to rejecting the huge temptation and insisting on its lofty goal of becoming a platform-level company.

Just this point has thrown off a few streets of many entrepreneurs in China, and Zhang Yiming is obviously a few ranks higher than them.

Qin Weimu came out of the bathroom and saw that Luo Sheng was still sitting on the sofa browsing the documents sent by Pang Lei, she came to sit down next to her, and couldn't help but say:

"At the same time, I rejected giants like Bluestar Technology and Alibaba, I believe that Zhang Yiming should clearly know that Toutiao, which is still in the incubation stage, will face the cruel encirclement and interception of the two giants and other competitors at the same time, which shows that his entrepreneurial determination and courage are commendable."

Luo Sheng nodded and said, "It is indeed commendable." If the current Internet entrepreneurs have such a pattern and courage, then today's Huaguozhi Internet may be able to break the monopoly pattern of 'LATB' in the past ten years and present a new industry pattern. ”

Hearing this, Qin Weimu turned his head to look at him and laughed: "That's what you said, but you definitely won't see the facts happen, right?" ”

Luo Sheng smiled: "Not bad." Appreciation is appreciation, and one yard is one yard. He Zhang Yiming rejected me, and I wanted to take him down. ”

Qin Weimu: "The falling flowers are intentionally ruthless, how to take it?" Taking a step back, since you are optimistic about Toutiao's model, why don't you just let Bluestar Technology set up a development and operation team within Bluestar Technology to copy one? For example, it's called Blue Star Headlines or something, so Zhang Yiming has no chance at all. ”

Luo Sheng: "Direct replication is indeed the most worry-free and effort-saving, and if you do this, Toutiao, which is in the incubation stage, will definitely not be able to turn over." But it's not good, in this way, the size of Bluestar Technology is getting bigger and bigger, and in the future, Lao Mei will hit half of the domestic Internet with a stick, and a little distraction can also distract attention. ”

Obviously, it is definitely not the peer competitors who can put pressure on Luo Sheng now, but the evil US imperialism using state-level power.

As for the commercial competition of peer competitors, Luo Sheng has never felt an obvious and real sense of crisis.

Qin Weimu asked, "Then how are you going to deal with him?" ”

Hearing this, Luo Sheng smiled: "Simple, you go and arrange the family fund to deal with this matter." Didn't he refuse the olive branch of the giants? Then I won't shoot directly, so many private equity investment fund institutions under the family fund, it is best to have a foreign identity, you arrange to find someone who understands Internet thinking to talk to Zhang Yiming as a VC, his rejection of the olive branch of the giant does not mean that he is not short of money. ”

Qin Weimu smiled knowingly and nodded: "Okay, I'll deal with it." ”

In this way, when the time comes, Zhang Yiming will have to admit it, and he will have to admit it if he doesn't recognize it.

In today's Internet entrepreneurship field, "burning money" is a puzzle that almost every startup company encounters every day, whether it is Bluestar Technology and Alibaba ten years ago, or the O2O industry where money burning is becoming more and more ferocious.

There is no shortage of big markets in the market that rely on burning money, and whoever burns more money may squeeze out competitors.

Toutiao was established at the same time as the first anniversary of March passed.

As a start-up company, there is no way to have no money, Zhang Yiming refused the giant's offer, so he could only find other VC financing, otherwise he would have nothing to do when the wind passed.

In the end, it will only leave another plot in the industry: the consequence of refusing the giant's solicitation is the fate of today's headlines.

When it comes to this situation, he, Zhang Yiming, is nothing but an arrogant loser who is proven to be.

Luo Sheng closed the material and put it aside.

This matter is so decided, today's headlines or the future of ByteDance, this is what Luo Sheng must control, this company is a model of emerging giants rising in the 4G network era.

In Luo Sheng's last memory, Toutiao or ByteDance is the only emerging Internet giant in the 4G era that has risen and reached a volume of 100 billion US dollars, especially the company's short video business.

For example, Douyin, in China, Teng Xun felt a huge crisis, ByteDance faintly wanted to pry Teng Xun's social hegemony in China, and internationally, the international version of Douyin Tik-Tok made Xiaozha's Facebook unable to calm down, and even imitated one.

Bluestar Technology is equivalent to Facebook + half of Teng Xun in the previous life in the Internet social field in this world, and Luo Sheng will definitely not let this situation happen in this life, he doesn't want to be like Teng Xun in the previous life when he is anxious to block the links of Toutiao's products on his own social products to curb the expansion speed of the other party.

Sometimes the replacement of Internet giants is a matter of the wind, and by the time you react, it may be too late.

And this year's 2013 is the first year of the full take-off of the mobile Internet era, last year began to commercialize the 4G network, and this year has begun to fully popularize the 4G network.

The popularization of a new generation of network technology infrastructure will inevitably give rise to a new industrial chain and new demand, now today's headlines are born, and soon the short video business will usher in a new stage, and so on4G tariffs are reduced, the increase in network speed, short video will rise rapidly, and at the same time, the online live broadcast industry will also be hot, and the e-sports industry will usher in the first round of explosion, and Luo Sheng has completed the layout many years ago.

Bluestar Technology rises in the 2G network era and dominates the 3G network era, and Luo Sheng's goal is not only that, but also to lead Bluestar Technology to dominate the 4G network era in the future, and finally monopolize the 5G network era in the next ten years.
