On the way to pick up his girlfriend at the airport, Guan Huang received a call from Karanik again.

"Mr. Guan, excuse me."

"Please."

"I'd like to talk to you one last time."

"You say."

Karanick: "If you agree, we want to take a 40% stake in Superman. ”

Guan Huang smiled, "Do you have so much money?" ”

40%, at least $8 billion, plus premiums, may exceed 10 billion.

Astronomical.

Karanick: "You don't have to worry about that. ”

Corporate mergers and acquisitions are generally a small amount of cash plus company shares, and if Guan Huang agrees, it is a big deal for Uber to issue billions of shares.

Empty gloves white wolf.

Guan Huang asked, "What if I refuse?" ”

Karanick: "Then your only option is to defeat us." ”

Across the phone, Guan Huang could feel the arrogance of the other party, "I have this confidence." ”

Karanik smiled, "Mr. Guan, we have conquered the United States, conquered Europe, conquered cities around the world, we have a valuation of 70 billion US dollars, and we have billions of dollars in cash in our hands, and you actually say that you are confident to defeat us." ”

Guan Huang: "The world of business is full of miracles, if the money is large and the scale is secure, I think Microsoft will unify the world a long time ago." ”

Kalanik laughed, "The reason why less is more is talked about is precisely because it is rare, and you can't pin your hopes on a small probability event. ”

Guan Huang replied, "Is it a small probability, you have to do it to know, it seems that the previous public opinion turmoil has taught you too few lessons." ”

When Karanik heard this, he seemed a little annoyed, "I don't want to argue with you about anything, you only have two choices now, either accept the incorporation or be defeated." ”

Guan Huang: "I have always had respect for Uber, but I resolutely cannot accept your bandit mentality. ”

Karanick: "That's just the way it is, it can't be helped. ”

Guan Huang: "From 1840 onwards, when the first great powers came to China, they also made the same conditions, either ceding Taiwan and opening up Guangzhou, or they would attack the Forbidden City. ”

Karanik laughing? "What if you have to think so? That's a pity. ”

Guan Huang: "I can tell you very clearly, the Chinese Internet today is not a few decades ago? Foreign companies regard Chinese enterprises as the object of territorial expansion. You started your business a few years before us? The valuation is several times that of us, but I believe? This is a story of Taobao and Amazon, since you want to fight? Then give it a try? ”

Karanick: "Well, in that case, we're going to spend more than $1 billion in cash in China to make the Chinese market uneasy. ”

Guan Huang: "Then let's see the real chapter under our hands." ”

Karanick: "I hope you don't regret it. ”

Guan Huang: "I'm still the same sentence?" Welcome to competition? I feel bored without you. ”

The two hung up.

Guan Huang leaned back on the sofa and thought about how to solve it.

It's easy to say cruel words and be a hero, but there are still a lot of challenges when it comes to really fighting.

At this time, Superman Travel looks powerful? Actually, it's still a guerrilla.

Can you survive the brutal business competition?

Many people don't know the bottom of their hearts.

Although Guan Huang analyzed the comparison of the advantages of the enemy and us before, he came to the conclusion that he would win.

But? Strategy is made up of campaigns.

If Superman Travel loses in the Chinese market, or even says? Uber China's booming momentum is enough to cause major changes in the capital market.

It may even capsize in the gutter.

Don't forget? "Fast Alliance" is directly merged into Uber (China)? There were a lot of acquaintances there.

"A long way to go"? Guan Huang silently read it a few times.

Originally, I thought that the competition with the "fast alliance" was the finals, and after the victory, I could build a good home.

Now I know that it was only the group stage of the Asian zone at best.

Guan Huang took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Taijie.

"Mr. Guan."

"Tyje, there's something on my mind."

Zhang Taijie: "You command." ”

Guan Huang: "I've been thinking a lot lately about what kind of differences between American companies and Chinese companies are, how to compete to beat them locally, and even how to compete globally. ”

Zhang Taijie "um" for a moment.

Guan Huang: "Through study, I found that in fact, the way American companies play is the same as that of the US military, because they are not fighting at home, they must cover the whole world, so they pay great attention to air force. ”

Zhang Taijie asked: "Air force?" ”

Guan Huang: "Uber's ground forces are not strong because they are not fighting on their own soil. ”

"Oh."

Guan Huang: "Its ground forces are all marines, emphasizing coordination with the air force and the ability to fight alone, which is a war of capital, public opinion, and marketing. ”

Zhang Taijie suddenly realized.

Guan Huang: "How should we deal with it, I have summarized three strategies. ”

Zhang Taijie asked very cooperatively, "Which three strategies?" ”

Guan Huang: "First of all, give full play to the advantages of the local area, use guerrilla warfare to drag him down, drag him for two years, and he will have problems himself." ”

Zhang Taijie nodded: "Because time is with us?" ”

Guan Huang: "That's right, the second is to wait until the time is right, open the posture head-on, and annihilate him, after all, a small fight can't determine the outcome of the battle." ”

Zhang Taijie understands this truth.

No matter how powerful guerrilla warfare is, it cannot replace the role of the frontal battlefield.

Guan Huang continued, "In the end, it is to rely on our own operational advantages to control the situation rhythmically, and where Uber makes efforts, we will collide. ”

Zhang Taijie nodded.

Guan Huang: "In the past two years, we have sent several groups of people to Silicon Valley to learn from first-line Internet companies, see how they do and develop, we understand Uber's organizational system, management ideas, and talent reserves, and his understanding of us is only very superficial. ”

Zhang Taijie admired it more and more.

Sending people to study in Silicon Valley, although from the time it looked like it was a bit full, now it has gained a lot.

Not only has it attracted a large number of Chinese scientists to join Superman (from the first eighteen Arhats to the current fifty-four people, they are still radiating), but also opened their minds and learned a global vision.

Know how top companies manage their teams.

Guan Huang continued, "It can be said that so far, we have managed the situation very well and are expected to achieve significant growth in the second quarter, but the competitive situation will not change fundamentally, and we must be prepared for a long battle." ”

Zhang Taijie nodded, "Okay." ”

Guan Huang: "Like previous generations of Chinese technology and Internet companies, we must first defend our local area, and then see if there is a chance to go abroad in the future." ”
