Chapter 162: The Most Valuable Thing
In the small conference room of the company, the three bosses sat on the comfortable sofa next to the coffee table, and in front of the desk was a set of quaint and high-end tea sets, and the kung fu tea had already been brewed.
This was prepared by Shen Dui in advance, he was not familiar with this way, or he did not have the patience to learn this kind of thing.
"Mr. Shen is worthy of Mr. Shen, and he does enjoy life better than the two old men of us."
After Boss Chen took a sip of tea, he was amazed, but he didn't forget to complain.
"Yes, it's like me, as soon as I arrived at the company, I tensed my nerves, worried about the future of Tongchengwang, but I didn't have the leisure to drink tea."
Boss Guo agreed.
Of course, they understood that Shen Dui chose such an environment in front of him in order to create a relaxed atmosphere.
"Mr. Guo doesn't have to be too modest, I am very optimistic about the future of Tongcheng.com."
Shen Du was worried about how to cut into the topic, and when he saw the other party bring it up, he replied.
"Mr. Shen, you are a full man, you don't know that a hungry man is hungry."
Boss Guo smiled bitterly: "With the two mountains of your Dusk Suzhou Network and Juncheng Network in front of you, it is a fluke for a small enterprise like us to survive, and what is the future to talk about." ”
He looked at Boss Chen again: "I think, it should be more than Tongcheng.com, even if it is Mr. Chen's old business travel website, I'm afraid it also has the same worries." ”
"Mr. Guo is right!"
Boss Chen bowed: "In the past two years, I feel more and more pressure, especially in the current environment, I really can't see where Yilong.com is out."
"Once, I also thought about doing something innovative like Mr. Shen, but I didn't have a good idea to dig out my mind.
"Don't hide it, this is the focus of my team to visit Mr. Shen, I hope Mr. Shen will give us advice and show us a clear way!"
His face was solemn and his tone was sincere, and Shen Duzhi frowned.
In fact, the situation of Yilong.com is not as bad as Boss Chen said, but compared with the fast-rising Dusk Su.com, it can be said to be standing still.
As the owner of a large enterprise, he understands the cruel competition in the shopping mall and the truth that if you don't advance, you will retreat, which is why you are anxious.
"I said two, you can't help but think too highly of me."
Shen Duan said modestly: "What good advice can I have for a junior, even if it is our own twilight net, we are crossing the river by feeling the stones." ”
Boss Guo's face sank, and he pretended to be angry: "Mr. Shen, this is wrong for you!"
"The achievements of the company are obvious to all, in the business travel industry, you have long been ahead of me and Boss Chen, how can there be any seniors and juniors?
"The thoughts of our two old guys really can't keep up with the pace of the times, you should help us think about it, and there is no need to be taboo about what comes to mind!"
Boss Chen was concise: "What Mr. Guo means is also what I mean." ”
"So?" Shen Du nodded, "Let me think about it first." ”
After speaking, he ignored the two of them, took out a cigarette and lit it, and made a contemplative gesture.
Boss Guo and Boss Chen didn't bother Shen Duan, they added tea and poured water, and whispered some interesting stories about the industry.
It didn't take long for them to see that Shen Duan had just snuffed out the cigarette butt and lit another cigarette.
Seeing this, the two of them were moved in their hearts.
Because they have not seen each other smoke from the morning to now, it shows that lighting a cigarette is not a habit, but a headache for their affairs.
In fact, Shen Dui is indeed using his brains, but not as the two bosses think.
Of course, he arranged this small party for his own purpose, and now he is thinking about how to phrase it to maximize the two of them.
About a quarter of an hour passed......
Shen Dui snuffed out the third cigarette butt, and looked at the two people with anticipating faces, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I may have to disappoint you, I haven't thought of any way to break the deadlock." ”
Boss Chen and Boss Guo met their eyes, and they both noticed the disappointment in the depths of each other's pupils.
I heard Shen Du say again: "However, I see the development trend of the Internet industry. The business of our three companies is carried out by relying on the Internet, and we may be able to find some inspiration from it. ”
"Oh?"
Boss Guo was overjoyed when he heard this: "Please also ask Mr. Shen to solve his doubts." ”
Shen Duan waved his hand: "I can't talk about solving doubts, let's just discuss it together." ”
Seeing that the two of them showed an attitude of listening, he slowly spoke: "The first trend is popularization. I don't think I need to say much about this, as you can see from the situation in recent years.
"The second trend is ecological ......"
The concept of ecology has not yet come out in this era, and Shen Du deliberately explained it in detail.
Then there were several trend predictions and elaborations, and the two bosses nodded frequently, and their eyes became brighter and brighter.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Shen Du finally returned to the topic: "Based on the above trends, our businesses that rely on the Internet will have industry consolidation.
"While industry consolidation and industrial concentration are increasing, there will even be some monopolies.
"In short, big companies are going to get bigger and bigger and small businesses are going to get harder......
"Therefore, if you want to keep pace with the times, you must do a good job in industrial integration!"
"Industrial convergence?
Boss Chen and Boss Guo were a little confused, they understood the theory, and agreed from the bottom of their hearts; But when it comes to the specific operation, I feel confused.
"That's right!"
Shen Du said solemnly: "At that time, it will be difficult for a single product or industry to develop and grow, and the living space will be squeezed smaller and smaller.
"If you want to succeed in the future, you can't have obvious shortcomings, and only in this way can you maintain a large amount of traffic.
"In the future, maybe traffic is the most valuable thing!"
The two bosses looked at each other, and they heard a new term: traffic.
However, Shen Dui didn't explain in detail, and while they were thinking, he added himself a cup of hot tea.
"Mr. Shen, I seem to have some understanding, but I always feel that there is still something missing, and that kind of understanding is not very clear."
After a long time, Boss Guo came back to his senses.
"I can understand it, Shen always tells us that if you want to win the future, you must first make your plate bigger, as long as the scale comes up, you will already be invincible."
Boss Chen was deeply touched: "It will be much easier to consider development on this basis." Or it can also be understood in another way, when we are invincible, it is a success in itself! ”
Shen Du couldn't help but clap his hands: "Mr. Chen really saw it thoroughly." ”
Boss Guo is envious, Boss Chen is a senior master, and Boss Shen is the best junior, and his vision and thoughts are not comparable to himself.
"But Mr. Shen, we understand what you mean, but in today's environment, how easy is it to develop and grow?"
Boss Chen began to be distressed again, in the business travel industry, Juncheng.com and Dusk Suzhou Network are in the dust, and they have already left the competitors behind them far away, and how difficult it is to develop.
Shen Duan smiled meaningfully: "Conventional development is indeed difficult, if you use unconventional methods, not only can you save time and costs, but you may also be able to do it in one step." ”
Boss Guo's expression moved, Shen Duan can say this, he must have a countermeasure.
He couldn't be polite, and asked straight to the point: "I hope that Mr. Shen will explain it directly!" ”
On the other side, Boss Chen also looked expectant, and his eyes were burning.
"Okay."
Shen Du nodded: "I have a suggestion, it's hard to say whether it's reasonable or not, you two might as well think about it."
"As far as I know, in the main business of Yilong.com, hotel reservations for business travel are the top priority, and there are few orders from tourist guests; And the focus of Tongchengwang happens to be in tourism.
"The two of you have natural complementary strengths, and it's up to you to make the most of them."
He didn't say it thoroughly, he just clicked on it, believing that with the wisdom of the two, he would definitely be able to understand what he meant.
Well?
Suddenly, Boss Chen and Boss Guo were shocked.
Shen Duan said that it is really the fastest and most ideal development path, as long as the two are closely combined, the market share can be more than doubled.
In today's domestic business travel platform, if the two units located in the third and fourth are integrated, their influence is by no means as simple as "1+1=2".
The question is, in what way should two companies with different entities cooperate?
Cooperation in the conventional sense will certainly not achieve that effect.
Unless...... Merge?
But here comes the problem again.
Who will be in charge after the merger?
The current Tongcheng network is equivalent to one-third of Yilong.com, and it stands to reason that Boss Chen will lead the overall situation, but is Boss Guo willing?
Also, even if they are ranked third or fourth, they can not be half a star away from the first Juncheng and the second Dusk. Even after the merger, it still cannot compete with the previous two.
Where is the way out for such a merger?
The two didn't say much, only told Shen Duan to go back and think about it.
Shen Du understands this very well, how can such a major event as a business merger be decided in a few words.
The next day, Yilong and Tongcheng team ended their visit to Dusk Su Company ahead of schedule and left the magic capital.
Before leaving, Boss Chen and Boss Guo pulled Shen Dui, thanked him for a long time before letting go, and said that they would come to disturb him in the short term.
Shen Du looked at their slightly darkened eyes, and guessed that the two of them should have talked for a long night last night.
This time, it is expected that the board of directors will immediately convene and put the merger on the table to discuss.
"Mr. Shen, why did they run away in just one day during the three-day visit they planned?"
Liang Shaoqi looked at the backs of the two groups of people leaving, his face was full of puzzlement, and he was a little reluctant to the group of old colleagues.
"How do I know?"
Shen Du patted Director Liang on the shoulder and smiled incomprehensibly: "But I think it won't be long before they come." ”
Ji Man didn't speak, and always felt that the boss's smile was a little weird.
After the departure of the two delegations, the company returned to a busy and orderly work rhythm.
On June 16, the support document of the district government came down, and the land on the west line of the inner ring road will be sold to the Dusu company for 26 million yuan to build an office building, which will be bought by Zhumengju.
Other real estate companies are not allowed to participate in the auction.
On June 20th, the entrusted development contract between Dusu Company and Zhumengju Company was signed.
On June 22nd, the biggest local auction event of the month was officially launched!
