169. Counter-off

Time entered December, and the money burning war entered a crazy period, from one million a day before to tens of millions a day now.

According to the data claimed by the five companies, it adds up to more than 2 billion.

The war is in a stalemate, and companies are raising money in the market.

Except for Superman, who gritted his teeth and did not waver, the other four fell one after another.

used to rely on publicity and advertising to gain a short-term advantage, but because of Guan Huang's persistence, it slowly disappeared.

Compared with the doubling of the market size of several other companies, the growth rate of Superman is unsatisfactory.

On the one hand, because the volume is there, it's easy to grow from 1 to 2, and it's hard to go from 100 to 200.

On the other hand, it is also caused by competitive strategies.

Since it is necessary to build a membership economy, it is inevitable to focus on it, and the preferential strength for new customers is insufficient.

A series of situations have been reflected in the capital market, resulting in Superman's valuation, which has declined, hovering in the range of $12 billion to $15 billion.

After this battle, everyone has a new understanding of Guan Huang's stubbornness.

Many people accuse him of having a small belly and chicken intestines, not having enough pattern, and not understanding how to play on the Internet.

Focus only on immediate interests, and see no long-term changes.

It is even said that Dick Silk is always Dick Silk, even if it is lucky, it will soon reveal its true colors.

All kinds of pressures converged, and Guan Huang had to publish an open letter,

"This year, Superman is almost the most impetuous company in the world, and we are growing too fast...... It seems that we can easily achieve achievements that others dare not imagine, and success seems to be within reach.

"However, my heart is extremely anxious, how can there be a product that does not serve users well, does not improve efficiency, and the product can succeed just because of subsidies.

"Subsidies are entirely caused by capital bubbles, they cannot form any barriers to competition, and if anyone in the world can succeed if they have the money to start a business, then anyone in the world can succeed.

"In the fourth quarter of this year, we proposed that we must not only win the market, but also start to cultivate internal skills, and I hope that from next year, all businesses will no longer be subsidized and withdrawn from the subsidy war.

"I am very proud to see that even if the subsidy is reduced, Superman has not halved the order as the outside world feared, and has been slumped ever since.

"Since October 2014, the performance of Superman Takeaway has increased by 3 times, and the market share of Superman Travel is expected to exceed 70% by the end of the year, and the newly launched express car business still maintains a high order volume ......"

As the younger generation, the most popular entrepreneurs.

Guan Huang's words and deeds will always be interpreted by countless people.

Such a clear opposition to the subsidy war.

was scolded by many people in the industry, and he was a bitch and set up an archway.

"Guan Huang is a person, he must have the ability, but the little family is angry, he has no courage to do things, he loves to calculate, although he has some achievements at the moment, he can't go too far", Qian Gui said while pouring wine.

Zhang Shaowen picked up the cup and was silent.

Today, the expensive boss is the boss and invites some bigwigs in the circle to dinner.

The center of the topic inevitably pulled to Guan Huang.

Qian Gui continued, "Let's take this financing incident, Mr. Zhang gave him face, but he didn't know what to do, and finally ruined the good situation. ”

Zhang Shaowen smiled faintly, "At that time, I was also too anxious, but I didn't expect to almost get into trouble." ”

At this time, naturally I won't say what I think about it.

After all, stealing chickens can't be done.

Qian Gui took over, "These people who are engaged in entrepreneurship are not very good at their brains, and they all think that they can change the world, but they are not fart, and they are not one who asks for food." ”

This is not nonsense.

Finance controls the world, no matter what.

The most profitable companies in the world are basically financial companies.

According to the list of the world's top 500 companies released by Fortune magazine on the evening of October 20.

In the top 10, with the exception of Apple, Toyota Motor and pharmaceutical giant Gilead Sciences, the other seven are financial and investment companies.

Among the four major state-owned commercial banks, Agsil Hathaway and Wells Fargo.

Mainland China and Hong Kong have 103 Chinese companies on the top 500 list.

There are 15 banks and insurance companies among the 103 banks, with a combined profit of $201.7 billion (the average profit of 10 banks is $18.16 billion, and the average profit of 5 insurance companies is $4.02 billion). )

The other 88 companies had a total profit of $127.4 billion (average profit of $1.45 billion). )

The profits of 15 banks and insurance companies are almost twice as high as those of the other 88 companies.

Any start-up company has to kneel in front of finance.

Zhang Shaowen frowned, saying that the entrepreneur was asking for food, which was a bit excessive.

There is no distinction between entrepreneurs and investors in his heart, as long as he can make money.

Of course, if you can't contribute value, your father will have to give way.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have driven Ah King away with his own hands.

Qian Gui, as the host, kept talking, "Please come over today, on the one hand, I haven't sat together for a long time, and I miss ...... a little."

Before the words fell, Chen Shao'an, the boss of Qian Gui, took over, "In recent years, domestic investment has been booming, and many newcomers and new companies have emerged. ”

"That's what Elder Chen said."

……

Many people laughed and agreed.

Qian Gui was a little tired of the old guy interrupting himself.

However, there is still a need to be respectful on the surface.

Although his wings were stiff, he had no intention of erecting another mountain.

Waiting for everyone to finish greetings, Qian Gui continued, "On the other hand, let's discuss the strategy of the gatekeeper, Superman, which is currently the largest unicorn in the market, has been outside the system, which is a very unstable factor. ”

Zhang Shaowen took over, "What are your plans?" ”

Qian Gui said very respectfully, "I have an immature idea. ”

"You say?"

Qian Guitu saw the dagger: "Let's unify the pace, once Superman finances, the amount is at least one billion US dollars, it is difficult for one family to eat, just join forces, in this way, it can also prevent him from breaking each other, so as to strive for the most favorable conditions." ”

Everyone was silent.

Consider the pros and cons.

Qian Gui glanced at everyone and continued:

"The takeaway and taxi battlefield is basically coming to an end, Kuaidi, Didi, Meituan, Hungry, Superman, the final winner must be produced in these five companies, everyone has no opinion on this judgment, right?"

Everyone nodded.

Something that a layman can see, let alone an old expert like them.

Qian Gui: "Except for Superman, the other four, everyone's shares together, not to mention gaining control, at least they can compete with the founder team." ”

It's the truth.

Although it is distressing to burn money, it gives the opportunity for further erosion of capital.

"Only Superman, Guan Huang holds more than 80% of the shares, in this case, if we don't join forces, there is almost no chance of winning."
