"Mr. Wang, we want to expand the business of today's technology in the field of short videos."

Seeing this major shareholder, Xiao Zhang opened his mouth to talk about the idea of the follow-up development of today's technology.

With the explosion of Tomorrow Technology in the field of short video, many companies have entered the short video industry this year, and there are dozens of short video companies on the market.

And Xiao Zhang, who has been looking for an outlet for monetization, is also looking at the field of short videos.

Most of Toutiao's tens of millions of viewers are high-paid white-collar workers in big cities, and there is a great demand for the processing of fragmented time.

It's just that the short video of Tomorrow's technology has a huge share in universities and major cities CBD, and they are bound to compete with each other in today's science and technology entry short video.

The most important thing is that the major shareholder behind Tomorrow Technology is also an important shareholder of their today's technology, and Xiao Zhang must communicate with the other party in advance.

After all, in the hands of this important shareholder, he is pinching important network traffic entrances such as Weibo and Lady Street.

"When I first invested in Today's Technology, I told Mr. Zhang that I would not easily interfere with the company's operation. The same is true now, Mr. Zhang just let it go. ”

After listening to the other party's words, Wang Yongren didn't care about the so-called subtext, and replied directly and clearly.

As for Today's Technology and Tomorrow's Technology, which he invested and holds, there was a conflict in the traffic demand for short videos, and Wang Yongren must be helping his own company.

started a year earlier, and he is the behind-the-scenes instructor, if tomorrow technology will be caught up by opponents, it will be Ji Ruyi's problem.

"With Mr. Wang's words, I am relieved."

His eyes shrunk, and Xiao Zhang also understood the trick, which could not be changed in a few words.

As long as they take the first step, they have a firm foothold in the field of short video technology, and there is an outlet for traffic monetization, so some investors are willing to spend money.

"I wish Mr. Zhang great success."

With a chuckle, Wang Yongren picked up the coffee cup in his hand and gestured.

"Thanks to Mr. Wang's good words."

After raising a toast, Xiao Zhang did not stay long and went back to the company to preside over the new project.

Since it is decided, it is necessary to catch up as soon as possible.

"Huh."

Back in the Phaeton car, Wang Yongren couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he thought of the ambitious Xiao Zhang.

In the future, there will only be two or three short video heads, and there will be only one winner in the face of the general public.

The follow-up development strategy of Douyin small video needs to be explained to Ji Ruyi, focusing on building the head camp of various types of anchors.

A head anchor can only bring hundreds of thousands of fans, but a group of head anchors can occupy most of the short video users.

Only by grasping the camp of the head anchor and the loyalty of users, then can Douyin small video truly stand at the top of the industry.

That sentence, those who learn from me live, and those who like me die, when they shout out, they have to work very hard.

At the end of October, Su Qiuyi, who was 40 weeks pregnant, gave birth to a daughter of five catties and nine taels in Hangzhou, nicknamed Yun Duoer.

Compared with the first child, Su Qiuyi, who gave birth to the second child, went relatively smoothly, and came out of the delivery room in just over two hours.

"Mom, I'm here to watch, don't worry."

Wang Yongren, who accompanied him throughout the whole process, whispered to his mother-in-law who came to visit his wife and daughter.

With the position of mother-in-law, she is very busy on weekdays.

"It's okay, I don't have any arrangements for tomorrow, I'll leave later."

For her eldest daughter, He Liqun naturally won't leave after a glance, but sit down and chat with her in-laws, and tease her eldest grandson by the way.

After a short period of silence, Wang Yongren was bombarded with phone calls from many friends the next day, and many people came to the hospital to deliver red envelopes in person.

After letting Senior Sister Su stay in the hospital for a week, Wang Yongren, who was sure to be safe, returned home with his wife and children.

Many subsequent trips, in the face of the importance of his wife and children, are naturally not worth mentioning, Wang Yongren has been a good husband at home for more than half a month, and even the company's affairs are handled at home.

In November, Group M announced that the total transaction volume in the first ten months of this year exceeded 50 billion, completing the target for this year ahead of schedule and continuing to move towards the annual target of 60 billion.

The performance of the M group is naturally the leader in the field of group buying in China, occupying the first share of the entire market.

As soon as this news came out, the entire group buying industry was in an uproar.

When the small group buying website was still complacent about the 1 billion transaction volume that year and bragged to investors, the M group was already far ahead, so that other competitors could not afford to catch up.

"Alas, defeat is decided."

Looking at the boiling news on the Internet, Mr. Zhang, who was in Dianping, leaned on the boss's chair and sighed.

The transaction volume of the M group exceeded 50 billion, and Nuomi.com also exceeded 20 billion, while their Dianping has not yet touched the threshold of 18 billion, and the gap is not small.

At this point, the pattern of the group buying market has been decided, and Ahri will not pay any more money to support their Dianping.

In addition, the rest of the investors will also wait and see, waiting for their public comments, only to sink silently, or be swallowed up by one of them.

"Mr. Zhang, the phone number of Mr. Huang of Group M."

At this moment, the assistant's report came from the door.

"Take it in."

After listening to the assistant's words, Mr. Zhang's eyes flashed and he picked up the landline.

"Lao Zhang, let's come out and have a cup of coffee."

"Yes."

In the original history, the turnaround of the group buying website occurred at the end of 15 years, and in this life, the M group received strong support from Wang Yongren, as well as behind-the-scenes guidance, and established the victory one year ahead of schedule.

In the capital field, there is no eternal opponent, only eternal interests.

When a project is extremely expensive and the opponent is more difficult to deal with, the capital behind the scenes will try to promote the merger of the two sworn enemies, such as the future oil depot and Tudou, Ctrip and Qunar.

"With the merger of Group M and Dianping, and the two of us serving as co-CEOs and chairmen, the two of us will be able to occupy more than 85% of the market share."

In the face of Huang Daxing's sincere conditions, Mr. Zhang of Dianping quickly accepted it.

Glutinous rice net did extend an olive branch, but compared to the merger of the two companies, it was not enough to do the M group, so Mr. Zhang naturally chose the destined winner to take refuge.

Although Ahri owns 20% of Dianping's shares, at best he is only the third-largest shareholder, and Mr. Zhang is fully capable of deciding where Dianping goes.

In mid-November, Huang Daxing of Group M and Mr. Zhang of Dianping announced that the two companies would merge, and the current pattern of two sets of teams will be temporarily implemented, and the two will be looking for an opportunity to completely merge in the future.

After the merger, Group M has more than 200 million active users, and its business covers tens of millions of merchants in more than 1,000 cities in China, accounting for 85% of the entire group buying market and more than 90% of the food delivery market.

Nuomiwang, which was originally ranked third, was promoted to the second place, but it was also without competition.

"This is the foregone conclusion of the group buying market."

Seeing this news, practitioners and capital in the industry have seen the final result.

The more than 100,000 outside riders under the M group and the tens of thousands of riders of Ele.me controlled by Dianping completed the merger as soon as possible to jointly undertake takeaway orders from the two websites.

Originally, the hundreds of thousands of riders who had been full of martial arts in the previous year had changed from opponents to colleagues, and there was really an inexplicable sense of comic.

At the same time, the coupons and accounts of the two companies began to communicate with each other, and Dianping users, who had not downloaded the M group software before, felt the impact of a large number of coupons and were surrounded by happiness.

"How did we not know that the M group actually had so many coupons."

This is the first impression of most new users, and then look at the extremely rich takeaway merchants, as well as the experience of fast food delivery, and soon become a loyal fan of the M group.

Nearly 20,000 direct employees at both companies, especially those with high salaries and option awards, are worried about whether they will lose their jobs the next day.

There is no doubt that after the merger of the two companies, there will be too much overlap in business, and the agency will be bloated, and it will inevitably undergo a major purge.

In addition, the two companies have equal voting seats on the new board of directors, which is not suitable for the subsequent merger and streamlining.

The situation is stronger than people, and Mr. Zhang of Dianping just wants to survive first and find another opportunity, but Huang Daxing, who has already had a draft, has already sharpened his knife.

In the middle of December, in the conference room of the new 'M University' headquarters, Huang Daxing and Mr. Zhang walked into the conference room together and sat at the top position on the left and right respectively.

As the target of mergers and acquisitions, Mr. Zhang is more sensitive to this kind of board meeting, and when he sat down, he subconsciously looked around, and his heart suddenly tightened.

"A few of the agents here today, I would like to introduce to you, this is a representative of TX Group. This is Mr. Wang's representative, this is the representative of Kaolin Capital."

Listening to Huang Daxing's introduction, Mr. Zhang's heart sank.

Originally, the two capitals of Dianping only sent ordinary agents over, and today's board meeting seems to be a bad one.

"Due to a series of problems caused by the recent merger of the two companies, I decided to restructure the company's division price to focus on five business groups."

Mr. Zhang, who was relatively relaxed at the beginning, slowly sat up straight.

In the subsequent voting, the original management of Dianping only served as a few less important department leaders, and the rest of the many backbone department heads were completely defeated.

The leaders of several important business groups are all factions of the M group, including the finance department, the personnel department and other departments, and they are also the original management of the M group.

Even the original two capital representatives of Dianping also voted for the M group faction.

"The tide is over."

Listening to the results of a series of personnel adjustments, Mr. Zhang leaned on the boss's chair a little weakly.

"In order to better improve the efficiency of the management, it is proposed to remove the position of co-CEO, with Huang Daxing as the company's CEO, and Zhang ** to continue to serve as the co-chairman and be responsible for the new company."

The last item on the agenda of the board meeting, Huang Daxing, tried to see the dagger and directly abolished the co-CEO system.

Naturally, there is no doubt about the result of the vote.

Near noon, Mr. Zhang of Dianping walked out of the conference room a little depressed.

In just one morning, in addition to maintaining the position of co-chairman, the management of Dianping all withdrew from the management positions of the new company and was arranged to be the second-in-command in an unappreciated department.

Although the salary has not changed, the original management of Dianping can't lick his face and continue to stay.

It can be said that after today, M Company has completely become the M group of Huang Daxing's team.

"Huh."

"Mr. Zhang."

Several executives who originally followed Mr. Zhang to start a business also followed into each other's office with a disgraced face.

"You should also choose a way out as soon as possible."

After a dull moment, Mr. Zhang, who was about to leave the scene with dignity, opened his mouth and said to his subordinates.

It's not that he doesn't want to insist on fighting, it's that the capital chose Huang Daxing of the M regiment, and without the support of capital, he has no right to speak in the new company.

Obviously, once he leaves the company, these subordinates will definitely be squeezed out by the original faction of Group M, and it is the best policy to leave with compensation money in a dignified manner.

"Mr. Zhang, let's go."

Hearing what the former boss meant, several management levels looked at each other and withdrew one after another.

"Perhaps, only those cold billions will accompany me to retire."

Waiting for his subordinates to leave, Mr. Zhang turned around and came to the floor-to-ceiling window, as if he felt that the city under his feet was far away from him.

cashed out the shares in his hand, and he only had that string of cold numbers, accompanying him through the second half of his life.

In contrast, Huang Daxing, who is in power, is in high spirits and holds a new internal meeting with his loyal subordinates to determine the future development direction of the company.

"Lao Huang's methods are really good."

Also on this morning, Wang Yongren, who came to Pengcheng, was invited by Big Guy You to have morning tea together.

As soon as the board meeting of the 'M Big' company ended, he heard the secretary's report and knew that the unicorn that had been chaotic for a month had been lightly loaded.

"It is absolutely impossible for an Internet giant with ideals to maintain a co-CEO system for a long time. A few of us support Huang Daxing, then the rest can only back down, otherwise the profit they expect will be far away. ”

After taking a sip of tea, You Jianghe was not too surprised by the current result.

Since the 90s, he has been rolling in the Chinese Internet circle, and he has seen a lot of ups and downs of industry giants.

"With Mr. Zhang's shares, if you cash out, it will cost at least more than 5 billion yuan. However, it is also worth it to end the melee in the group buying industry with 5 billion. ”

After estimating the shares of the former Dianping Mr. Zhang, Wang Yongren couldn't help but sigh.

Unicorns in an industry are really not simply created, they are full of thorns and huge capital investment.

"Zhang Tao is willing to be a deputy, and he will definitely be able to continue to stay. However, he is used to being the boss of the company, and it is impossible for him to be subservient. In addition, Huang Daxing will also worry that the other party will secretly seize power, which will affect the interests of the company. Counting it up, Zhang Tao cashed out his shares and left the market, which is good for everyone. ”

Speaking of several possibilities for the follow-up, You Jianghe felt that spending money to buy stability was the best result.

"That's right."

Nodding, Wang Yongren just felt that the mall was a little cruel, but he would not have any compassion for the loser.

He invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the upfront investment of the M group, and he didn't allow any moths to appear.

"What are your New Year's plans?"

After chatting about the changes in the M group, You Jianghe paid more attention to the movements of the little brother.

"AHL Video is going to be listed on the Nasdaq next month, and my focus is here. In addition, I asked people to register a new company, and I was going to invest 1 billion yuan in the early stage to enter a low-end shopping track. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Yongren subconsciously paused.

If we continue to talk about this later, it will involve his confidential planning.

"What track? Elaborate. ”

Seeing the posture of the little brother, the eyes were shining, and he personally refilled a cup of tea for the other party, waiting for the following.

In the past few years, their TX cooperation with this little brother can be described as smooth sailing, and even the group's market value has exceeded the 100 billion dollar mark and is thriving.

There is no doubt that the project that will invest 1 billion yuan in the early stage is definitely a big project, such as the M group, which has now unified the group buying market, or Tomorrow Technology, which has a valuation of more than $3 billion in one year after its establishment, and Sheling.com, which is now worth more than $250 billion.

This wave must keep up!!
