Chapter 20: The Old Horse Defeats and the Empire Cracks

"Old Horse ......"

"This time, there's really nothing we can do."

"Old Ma, we may have been pushed into a big pit by Zhang Sheng!"

"[The sharing economy] may be a big hole!"

“……”

"Of course, perhaps, it's our ...... that we're going in the wrong direction"

“……”

In 2012.

For Ma Yunhua, it was the most hopeful and desperate year.

This year......

It should have been a year of expansion and harvesting of his capital empire and control of the real sense of the word.

However......

At this moment!

He could only watch the merchants of [Taozhu.com] continue to lose and the number of active users is also declining, but he can't do anything.

Even, the once proud capital team has fallen into the quagmire at this moment, burning a lot of banknotes into the abyss of the market, and never finding a way out in the darkness and madness.

October......

[Hongtian Capital] and [Hongsen Capital] several Chinese spokespersons want to truce and integrate their respective industries with each other.

However, the integration of each other's CEO, how to be the leader, who will be the leader, this matter has been troubled, and in the end, it has to continue to fall into the quagmire of capital.

October 8th.

In the office room.

Ma Yunhua received calls from several friends.

After answering the phone, the already suppressed emotions have become heavier and heavier.

He gradually realized that the [sharing economy] abandoned by Zhang Sheng seemed to be a sinkhole.

[Bicycle sharing] is very good in the format he envisioned.

On the one hand, we can use the system to make the payment volume up, and on the other hand, we can recast a new format.

However......

After really doing it for a while, Ma Yunhua deeply realized that the [sharing industry] has to invest more capital than he imagined.

First, the market competition is cruel, and [Tengji Technology] is still staring at that volume, and refuses to let go.

Second, it's too messy!

This kind of chaos is not only because countless capital flocked to this track, but the whole market is somewhat deformed.

When the bicycle was just listed, because all aspects of the measures were not perfect, many people actually took the shared bicycle home, this group of people without quality, in Huaxia is actually very much, after a long time, many new users will find that the shared bicycle on the market, basically are broken, plus a long time can not be repaired, countless people scan the code to scan some bad cars......

This is true not only for shared bicycles, but also for shared battery cars......

Although in 2012, the chaos of stealing batteries did not happen, but there were still many seats that were damaged, and even could not be ridden for a time......

Every month, no, it should be a daily after-sales maintenance project, which is a sky-high price!

Third, the relevant departments also began to rectify the city's appearance in September, all over the country, indiscriminately parked battery cars, bicycles, often are the focus of the relevant departments, often today a new batch of battery cars, not long after, this batch of battery cars was detained......

……

The atmosphere in the office is getting more and more oppressive.

Ma Yunhua inevitably felt a sense of loneliness.

Looking up at the fallen leaves outside the window again, I felt that the corners of my mouth became more and more bitter.

Knowing that he has fallen into the pit, but Ma Yunhua has no way to strip the [sharing economy], rashly stripped, it is easy to have a huge impact on his [payment system], when they [Zhilibao] lose the most proud payment market, then, what awaits them, what else?

"Mr. Ma, the total number of users of [Qiangsheng Online Mall] has exceeded 100 million, and the number of active users has exceeded 30 million."

“……”

Chen Jun's cautious voice came from his ears.

"From now on, let's stop focusing on what other people do!"

"You say hello to everyone below, and you tell them that this time, as long as it can reach 14 billion, I can meet all their requirements!"

"Break 15 billion! All send red envelopes! ”

“……”

Ma Yunhua has taken a step back.

It has dropped from the target of 15 billion to 14 billion.

After looking at Ma Yunhua's complicated expression, Chen Jun finally nodded.

Silently left the office.

Ma Yunhua sat on the chair and sat for a long time.

………………………………………………

In 2012, the Chinese Double 10 event was very lively.

Countless media pop-ups on the Internet have popped up.

Even Ma Yunhua has personally come forward, claiming that they are about to create a new, even global e-commerce history again.

But......

Not sure why.

Some people who are familiar with Ma Yunhua realize that Ma Yunhua is in a hurry.

In the early morning of October 10, 2012.

Li Zongyao of [Hongtian Capital] did not rest, but stayed in front of the computer and watched the Double 10 activity of [Taozhu.com].

As the bell rang in the early hours of the morning, Li Zongyao saw that the entire interface of [Taozhu.com] had changed and become extraordinarily festive, and countless brands had rushed to the homepage at once......

The web page also fell into a lag at one point.

"The number of visits has exceeded 200 million, which is double that of last year's Double 11 event."

“……”

An analyst's voice was heard nearby.

After Li Zongyao heard the double, he did not have any surprise in his heart, but stared at the data silently.

"In 5 minutes, the sales of [Taozhu.com] officially exceeded 100 million, and last year's Double 11 event was only 50 million in 8 minutes! Another all-time record! ”

“……”

"In 8 minutes, the sales of [Taozhu.com] exceeded 150 million ......"

“……”

"In 15 minutes, sales exceeded 200 million!"

“……”

Behind the seemingly amazing sales data, Li Zongyao did not have any surprises, but looked at the situation of [Qiangsheng Online Mall].

When he learned that the sales of [Qiangsheng Online Mall], which did not participate in the Double 10 event and did not even have any publicity before, exceeded 50 million in 15 minutes, Li Zongyao's pupils shrank sharply.

"Can [Taozhu.com] achieve the goal of 14 billion?"

“……”

Li Zongyao asked the analyst next to him.

The analyst's glasses flashed with various data, and he fell into a five-minute deep thought, and then: "The data on the Internet is changing rapidly, and if you don't operate, 12 billion will be difficult to ......"

Li Zongyao did not say anything, and the analyst continued: "During this time, [Taozhu.com] has organized some swiping teams, even if it does not reach 15 billion, it will reach 15 billion!" I have no doubt that Ma will always put money into it, after all, for him, this battle cannot be lost! ”

Li Zongyao nodded.

Then he turned off his computer.

"I'll go rest first, I've worked hard today."

"Mr. Li, where do you ...... talk?"

“……”

………………………………

October 10th.

Ma Yunhua locked herself in her office.

Except for Chen Jun, no one was seen.

Even when Chen Jun saw Ma Yunhua, he felt a sense of fear and didn't dare to stay in the office longer.

From early morning to 7 o'clock in the morning.

[Taozhu.com] once again created a sales record for the entire Huaxia e-commerce system, which has exceeded 5 billion.

You must know that last year, when doing activities, [Taozhu.com] was only more than 4 billion......

But Ma Yunhua's face didn't see any excitement at all, his eyes were bloodshot, staring at a group of data with redness.

He saw that the sales curve of [Taozhu.com] had come down.

He saw that the sales volume of [Qiangsheng Online Mall], which had not done any activities, actually exceeded 800 million......

A group of data tugged at his heart, and he even deduced to next month's Double 11 [Domestic Products Festival], how crazy [Qiangsheng Online Mall] will be!

6 billion, maybe really let him do it?

The rise and fall of empires seemed to happen overnight......

At the beginning of the year, the high spirits and countless applause of the listing on the New York Stock Exchange were vaguely like yesterday.

Ma Yunhua took a sip of tea.

The tea became more and more bitter.

Time passed little by little, and during this period, the assistant delivered takeaways in, but at this moment, Ma Yunhua couldn't eat anything at all.

Until the sun goes down......

In the evening, at the moment when the total sales of [Taozhu.com] exceeded 10 billion, Ma Yunhua took a slight breath.

And 5 billion!

However, the next 5 billion is already difficult.

As the consumption tide of the Double 10 event gradually fades, it is impossible to complete this data unless there is a burst of orders at a certain moment.

"Has the brushing started?"

"It's been since the afternoon."

"There is water in 10 billion?"

"There's some moisture."

"How many?"

"About 2 billion ......"

“……”

Ma Yunhua hung up the phone.

I felt like I had no strength in my body.

He stared at the ceiling in confusion.

The experience of entrepreneurship in the past flashed in his mind like a horse's eye.

At this moment, it has all turned into despair.

The darkness outside the window in the distance grew thicker and thicker, and the haze grew heavier and heavier.

That's it......

In this trance-like mood, I waited until the early hours of the morning.

When he looked at the data of [Taozhu.com] again, he saw the data of 15 billion, which was just reached.

On Weibo, he announced the historical record of 15 billion sales of [Taozhu.com].

But......

But I felt like my heart was dripping blood.

The sales data of 15 billion and the data of close to 6 billion are all brushed out......

The crazier the data, the more he subsidizes the merchants, and at the same time, the more he pays.

Even, this time of dedication, he will be unable to fight with [Strong Victory Online Mall] for a long time in the future, and even die slowly!

However......

He had to hold on to his last face, create a false historical record, and bury it in the earth in a glittering amazement.

He couldn't afford the liquidation of the empire and the falling stocks of the New York Stock Exchange.

"Toot toot."

The phone rings.

A phone is a group of unfamiliar numbers.

He hung up.

But then, it rang again.

And then......

"Mr. Ma, congratulations on breaking 15 billion and contributing to China's e-commerce industry!"

“……”

The familiar, disgusting, defense-breaking voice sounded in Ma Yunhua's ears.

This is......

Zhang Sheng's call!

"Thank you! I hope that you have invested billions in the photovoltaic industry, and you can also burst out of the market of tens of billions, and I hope that your efforts will not be in vain! ”

“……”

After Ma Yunhua answered the phone with a cold face, she simply responded a few words and hung up the phone, and slammed the phone away!

Subsequently......

His phone rang.

The mobile phone was called by Li Bin.

After seeing the number, Ma Yunhua smashed the phone as soon as possible!

These two people are like debt collectors!

Disgusting, despicable, shameless!

………………………………

October 11th.

The data of 15 billion is certainly beautiful, which shocked countless netizens in China.

However, the next day, the products in the entire system of [Taozhu.com] ushered in a boom in returns......

With the return boom, the stock on the New York Stock Exchange gradually began to fall, and of course, it rose back in the afternoon...

However, a lot of institutions are suddenly starting to realize.

Capital......

has gradually become less sought after for [Taozhu.com]......

The Collapse of the Empire......

Or not overnight......

But ......

It's already cracking.
