Chapter 505: Capital Winter

In the early hours of March 5.

Zhang Xing was lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep left and right, so he simply stopped sleeping, and pulled Zhang Sheng to the barbecue stall downstairs to make skewers.

Hazy fireworks suddenly rose, enveloping Zhang Xing's cheeks.

Zhang Xing's eyes were red, and he seemed to feel something, but after holding it for a long time, he finally didn't hold back a fart, and finally pulled a kebab and chewed it fiercely.

He seemed a little excited.

When the Huaxia group buying war was at its hottest, everyone was red-eyed.

Only his [group buying] completely fell behind, lost the injection of capital, and began to hover on the edge, working very hard not to be encroached upon, and holding on extremely hard.

He also regretted it.

He doesn't know what the future holds, and deep down he is never willing to be a companion.

Naturally, I regret listening to Zhang Sheng's nonsense and choosing a side, otherwise, this [Thousand Group War] that is enough to go down in history, even if his [Group Buy] may not be the protagonist, it is also one of the last brands on the battlefield!

But regret is useless after all, once a person walks a way forward, it is impossible to turn back, even if there is a cliff in front of you, you have to jump.

He didn't complain, nor did he say anything, but just obeyed Zhang Sheng's arrangement to expand the industrial chain of [Group Buying], not only establishing close ties with [Honeycomb Delivery], but also finding another takeaway brand [XGIMI Takeaway] in the market to achieve a deep strategic binding cooperation......

Mid-January to early March......

[Group buying] is always in the dormant stage.

Without the remittance of large amounts of capital, it is destined to be unable to fight together with websites such as [Harvest Group Buy] and [Fengyu Mall] on the battlefield.

But [group buying] also has its advantages, that is, the victory lies in the perfect industrial chain, the close cooperation between merchants and takeaways, the two sides stick to the inch, and other brands such as [Lainiao Takeaway], [Any Door], [Hungry Takeaway], and even [Honeycomb Delivery] can not seep in.

During this period, he endured it until the end, and endured until the listing of [Groupon]......

The second day of the launch of [Groupon]!

The entire group buying market is completely chaotic, and Zhang Xing is excited!

[Groupon]'s poor market capitalization and stock price proved that his decision to choose Zhang Sheng was not wrong.

A single [group buying] not only does not work in China, but also does not work in the United States, only in the true sense of the O2O model, completely rolled out, can there be vitality!

End of February.

Zhang Sheng came to [Group Buy] to have a general understanding of the current situation of [Group Buy].

At the beginning of March, after seeing the chaotic group buying market, he was keenly aware that his opportunity had come!

"I seem to have been a dog for you!"

under the light.

Zhang Xing, who had been holding back for a long time, suddenly said such a sentence faintly.

Getting the 200 million investment of [Tengji Technology] is a timely rain for the [group buying] that has been transformed and integrated, which means that he once again has a new energy and continues to fight the next [takeaway war], which is the most exciting thing.

However, in the past two days, whether he has been in contact with Ma Yunhua or Zheng Huateng, he has clearly realized that he is actually a chess piece!

In addition to being a tool, being a dog, sitting on the bench and other news, he doesn't even have any say in the capital market at all, even when he walked into the office and talked to Zheng Huateng about investment, Zheng Huateng's eyes were always staring at Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Xing always stood on the surface, unfazed, but deep down, it was like a needle, stabbing his self-esteem fiercely.

The strong unwillingness made him yearn for the day when he could sit at the card table and chat with these people, and no longer be ignored!

But......

"You've never been a dog to anyone...... Brother Zhang, we are not subordinates, we are allies! ”

Zhang Sheng looked at Zhang Xing while skewering, and from Zhang Xing's extremely complicated eyes, he probably guessed the turmoil in Zhang Xing's heart.

After a moment, he said seriously.

"How are you going to fight this next battle? How do you need me to cooperate? ”

Zhang Xing was silent for a moment, put away his personal emotions, and after adjusting, his eyes began to calm down, looking at Zhang Sheng quietly.

"When the enemy advances, I retreat, when the enemy retreats, when the enemy retreats, when the enemy is stationed, I disturb, and when the enemy is tired, I fight!" Zhang Sheng also fell into a short deep thought, and after clearing his thoughts, he smiled and said the four-character motto: "The time has come!" ”

When he heard these four-character proverbs, Zhang Xing's eyes became more and more complicated, and after bowing his head and muttering for a while, he suddenly lifted his spirits, and then nodded.

"Good!"

…………………………

First half of 2010.

The flood of liquidity after the economic crisis has led to the rapid heating up of the capital market, coupled with the vigorous development of the Internet in China, so that countless Internet companies have seen the hope of the times......

During this period, a video website called [Kuyou] went public in the United States, and the stock price rose 55.9% on the first day, and the listing of [Kuyou Video] ushered in a 7-month boom in the listing of Huaxia concept stocks in the United States, and the capital market continued to heat up in the past 7 months, and at the end of the year, the video website [Panda], the e-commerce website [Dangdang.com] and the mobile Internet company Skye were successfully listed, pushing this wave of enthusiasm to the peak.

The frenziness of the capital market on the concept of Huaxia has also quickly affected the startup market, and a large number of startups have been invested, especially the various news of [Google's acquisition of [Groupon]] is exciting, which directly kicked off the prelude to the Huaxia group buying war!

However......

2011, February.

With the climax of the listing, some American investment institutions deliberately shorted and a series of fraud turmoil, ChinaAMC concept stocks quickly fell from the peak to the bottom. In addition to [Kuyou Video], all the other Huaxia concept stocks listed in the second half of 2010 and the beginning of 2011 were all broken without exception, and the original listing plan was in addition to the successful landing of the New York Stock Exchange on the "Secret Escape Marriage Network", the group buying website [Harvest Group Buying] and [Hand in Hand] have postponed their listing plans due to force majeure factors, and almost overnight, the door to listing in the United States was tightly closed.

But......

Although China's capital tide has been hit, it has not been cold, but [Hand in Hand] has made a desperate bet that after [Groupon] is listed, it can change everything, can close the door, continue to open, and then, win a new wave of capital boom again.

February this year!

The crazy [group buying capital] fight, and the participation of countless capitals and entrepreneurs, almost beat the [group buying] market to the ground.

Behind the seemingly gratifying data, in fact, countless capitals and entrepreneurs have been sweating!

They are all like gamblers, pressing most or even all of their net worth, betting on a brilliant dawn, and moreover, the [Thousand Group War] has been fought for more than half a year, and it is tantamount to a joke to stop at this moment!

However, large capitals such as [Tianhong Capital], [Tengji Technology], and [Taozhu.com] have already smelled the extraordinary nature of this capital war, and they have withdrawn early and waited for the opportunity!

However, many small and medium-sized capitals do not have this reason, they swallow up all the capital of their predecessors, enter the market with red eyes like beasts, and continue to fall into endless fighting, all want to fight for a dawn!

However, it was never dawn that greeted them, but darkness and fear.

[Groupon], which was once the fuse of the [Thousand Regiments War] in China, has also become the death knell of the [Thousand Regiments War]!

March 5......

The market and stock price are still falling!

After four consecutive declines, the Huaxia [group buying] market, which was once close to madness, was full of mourning.

Overnight......

Capital is trying all kinds of ways to withdraw from the scene, even if it is to cut off an arm, they have to leave!

[[Mimi Group Buy] was revealed to be in arrears of advertising fees! 】

[[Internet Group Buy] announced that it was acquired by [Fengyu Mall] for 30 million yuan and officially included in the network system of [Fengyu Mall]......]

[[Daily Group Buying] was revealed to be in arrears of nearly 100 million in merchant subsidies, behind-the-scenes investors left the market, and the founder Gao Mingming went bankrupt! 】

[[Honeycomb Extreme Delivery] announced that it officially acquired the remaining shares of [Minuo Group Buy] for 100 million yuan, and [Baotuan.com] announced its restructuring or will temporarily withdraw from the Chinese market......

【……】

From March 5th, to March 20th.

In just half a month......

Almost every day, you can see the bankruptcy and bankruptcy of one [group buying website]......

At the same time, TV, social software, Q Dog News, as long as you turn on the computer, you can always see countless merchants hysterically accusing a group buying website of arrears of subsidies, false subsidies, or suspected fraud......

In this shocking and complex social atmosphere, the once brilliant group buying website ushered in the most cruel and crazy reshuffle overnight!

There are corpses everywhere, ruins everywhere!

This capital tide came quickly, but it went even faster......

It is not only the [group buying market] that is implicated, but even many Internet companies in Huaxia are implicated by this capital tide.

[YK Live], a former veteran live broadcast website, has been transformed into a great success, and this year it has been repeatedly provoked by [J&T Live], and is angrily ready to sharpen its knives and prepare to completely suppress [J&T Live], but it has encountered a cold winter of Huaxia Capital!

The investment of 300 million yuan that was promised to [YK Live] has shrunk to 100 million, and from 100 million to 50 million!

Zhong Qian of [YK Live] looked at the investment of 50 million, and saw the increasingly crazy traffic of [J&T Video], and suddenly began to become anxious.

He doesn't want to find a way to suppress [J&T Video], and if he gives [J&T Video] a few more months, he will be completely unable to suppress it!

Even, Wang Jiancong, the young son of [Wanda Group], also announced at this moment that [Humi Live] was menacing......

There are chasing soldiers in front, and hungry wolves are eyeing you in the back!

Under this anxious mood, he desperately looked for all kinds of domestic and foreign capital to raise funds!

But......

The "Thousand Regiment War" has greatly damaged the vitality of countless small and medium-sized capitals, and it is difficult to take out money to enter new industries......

And those veteran capitals are always calmly waiting, even if it is capital injection, it will take time to wait!

At this juncture, he saw [J&T Video] again, and it seemed that he was on the edge of [Tengji Technology] again!

He realized that [YK Live] was already facing the most critical moment!

…………………………

"The capital winter is coming!"

"But it's a new opportunity for us!"

"You don't have to worry about bullets, we have enough bullets, you don't have to worry about anything else, we're at the table, now it's time for us to play our cards!"

"The market is a big piece of fat, I only have one request!"

"Kill!"

“……”

March 20th.

Zhang Sheng sat in the large conference room of [NC Entertainment] again, his eyes were serious, and he stared at the people below with murderous energy!

Spit out the word "kill"!
