The trend of group buying in Kyoto is spreading very quickly, and the community group buying is really overbearing, and the almost complete ecological chain is simply impeccable.

As a result, the capital giants behind the group buying market are becoming more and more unable to sit still.

The competition has reached the second half of the competition, and there are less than ten of thousands of group buying networks that are dead and selling.

When they chose their horses, they thought they were stable, but who knew that no matter which horse, it would not work, but a horse without a rider rushed to the front, and it was a dog barking at the market, and everyone looked at it without squeaking.

Especially Alibaba, seeing that the group buying market is about to change hands, he is in a hurry.

Why did they choose to pull hands at that time?

Because in terms of the performance of Handle.com in the first half of the year, he really has the posture of an emperor!

He occupies two first-tier cities, and the second- and third-tier cities in the north have the highest market share.

At that time, the in-depth cooperation agreement they talked about required that Lashou.com must be integrated into Alibaba's ecological chain, and all decisions must be approved by Alibaba, and cooperate with Alibaba's follow-up development strategy.

If Handson wins, then the entire group buying channel will become theirs, so that an e-commerce giant plus a group buying giant, the entire domestic market is almost controlled by them.

In fact, Handle did a good job after signing with them.

As soon as it made a move, it acquired five group buying websites, which are far ahead in the entire industry, even if it is Dianping, which is supported by Tencent, it can only be seen when it first comes out.

What has happened to the end now?

Shanghai was lost, Shencheng was lost, and even his hometown was invaded.

In addition to the market share of second- and third-tier cities, Handle has almost no advantages, which does not require personal life.

And the one who made this kind of record is a group buying network that came out of school.

If you want to say that the high-level of the handle network has no ability, in fact, it is not, because the glutinous rice is also blocked in the corner of the wall by the group, and the punch does not squeak.

There is also Dianping, which came from behind, itself is an old life service website, but they were kicked out when they returned to their hometown, can you say that they are not capable?

So in the final analysis, the ability to join a group is too advanced.

After making such a judgment, Ali definitely didn't want to bet on Hands.com, but hoped to tie the knot with the group.

On the morning of June 22, Lu Zhichuan, general manager of Ali's investment department, dialed Jiang Qin's phone and called five in a row, and his patience was almost exhausted.

"Mr. Jiang, your call is really difficult, hahaha."

"Who are you?"

"Let me introduce myself, I am Lu Zhichuan, general manager of the investment department of Ali Horn Group, is Mr. Jiang interested in chatting with me? Internet business is a vast blue ocean, but after all, it is difficult to make a forest alone......"

Lu Zhichuan took the manuscript he had written before, chattered for a long time, and then heard the voice on the other side suddenly be lowered, sounding like a thief.

"Mr. Lu, what about my final exam, let's not talk about it first, the invigilator is coming...... My day, he actually held a bamboo pole, I am a star of learning! ”

“？”

Lu Zhichuan was stunned for a long time, and then found that the phone hung up, but a text message was sent from the other side, saying that he was in the exam, and he was really sorry.

To be honest, he was confused.

In particular, the three words "final exam" made him feel like his head was buzzing.

A college student? Yes, the boss of the group is still a college student, and it is written on the information, I rely on, can a college student make the entire group buying market like this? Pull Handle Telepresence Fucking Waste!

At this moment, Lu Zhichuan's secretary pushed open his door: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Wu from Hands.com has been waiting for you in the conference room for half an hour." ”

"Got it, I'll go over after drinking this cup of tea."

"Okay."

Lu Zhichuan picked up the teacup and drank the tea expressionlessly, and it was not until ten minutes later that he got up and came to the conference room, where he met Wu Bo, the owner of Lashou.com, and his team.

The people in the conference room exchanged a few words of greetings and chatted about the recent business, and finally Wu Bo explained the intention, that is, to ask for capital.

They decided to vigorously develop the market below the third-tier cities, and by the way, they settled in the second- and third-tier cities in the south.

That's right, they really can't beat the group, but glutinous rice is their old rival, in the face of this website, they all win more and lose less, and they are determined to win the southern market.

As for the grouping in the first-tier cities, then leave it to the Dianping to do it themselves, didn't they just say it when they left the game, or they didn't do it, and if they wanted to do it, they would do it in the first-tier cities.

Hearing the adjustment of the handle team to the later direction, Lu Zhichuan thought about it for a long time.

The group doesn't seem to have the intention of cooperating, otherwise how could he give up a cooperation with just a final exam?

And he personally signed the handle at the beginning, and he has invested hundreds of millions of dollars, and now giving up is a waste......

Forget it, a lame horse is at least a horse, not to mention, Handle is still the website with the highest market share in the second and third-tier cities in the north, and it is indeed not to the point where it is regarded as rags.

Moreover, the later planning of Lashou.com is indeed feasible and can be regarded as a way out, not to mention, Lu Zhichuan knows that Ali has a bigger killer feature that can help Lashou.com come back to life.

"Mr. Wu, we will have a meeting to study the next round of capital injection."

Hearing this, Wu Bo raised the corners of his mouth, and the gloom in his eyes was slightly lightened.

To be honest, Lashou.com's performance in the past six months has been a mess, and it is really a little difficult for him to open his mouth for such a thing as asking for money.

When the group buying market was just established, he sat firmly in the first place, not to mention how tough he was when he negotiated with Ali, even if he was merged into Ali in the end, but every word during the negotiation was loud.

It's just that in less than half a year, the situation has become like this, and the guy who beat his head and bleeds is a college student group buying network that he has never looked at.

Thinking of this, Wu Bo subconsciously sighed, and this action was also accurately captured by Lu Zhichuan.

"Mr. Wu, don't worry too much, there can't be an eternal winner in the business field, and you don't have to take a short-term loss too seriously."

Wu Bo was stunned for a moment: "What does Mr. Lu mean by this?" ”

Lu Zhichuan waved his hand to his secretary, whispered a few words in her ear, and saw the female secretary with a bee waist walking out of the conference room with long black silk legs, and then brought back a stack of promotional books about Alipay.

Wu Bo took it and looked at it for a long time, and his eyes gradually widened.

"Alipay has obtained a payment license last month, and it is currently in internal testing, and it is estimated that it will be launched soon, and the future group buying market is definitely the world of mobile payment."

Lu Zhichuan raised the corners of his mouth: "The state has very strict control over payment licenses, which is not only a technical barrier, but also a policy barrier. Do you want to continue to do business with U shields? ”

Wu Bo instantly furrowed his brows, and there was a hint of wonder in his eyes.

The mobile Internet has developed very rapidly in the past year, and their company is also making every effort to develop an APP.

When the time comes, all the advantages accumulated by the group will be wiped out because of the change of the carrier, and when the time comes, the huge family business accumulated by the group may directly make someone else's wedding dress!

"Mr. Lu, when will Alipay be launched?"

"They are not in the same business group as our investment department, and I don't know the progress of their business for the time being, so let's invite Mr. Pang at noon, and let's talk while eating."

"Good good ......"

"But Mr. Wu, don't take it lightly, as far as I know, Tencent and Baidu have also obtained payment licenses, so your biggest opponents are still Dianping and Nuomi.com, and you must be cautious in every step you take."

After the meeting, Wu Bo and his team still had a dream-like feeling, until they walked out of the door of the investment department, their minds still did not ease.

To be honest, from the battle of Shanghai, to the battle of Shencheng, and finally to the battle of Kyoto, the people of Lashou.com will feel desperate as long as they hear the name of the group.

But they didn't expect to come to Hangzhou once, and they would encounter a splash of wealth!

The mobile Internet market is close at hand, and with the escort of a third-party payment platform, even if Handle loses the Kyoto market, it will be able to catch up in the future.

The most important thing is that there is no Internet giant behind the group, and his company does not have the qualification to get a payment license, that is to say, as long as Alipay is launched, the group will almost collapse!

Damn, isn't this a shame?

At eleven o'clock at noon, Wu Bo received a call from Lu Zhichuan, rushed to the hotel non-stop, entered the box, and met Alipay CEO Pang Rui.

Pang Rui thought it was just a simple meal, but she didn't expect that there would be a third person, so her expression was a little surprised.

"Who is this?"

"Let me introduce, this is Mr. Wu of Handle.com."

Lu Zhichuan pulled Wu Bo and let the two get to know each other: "You also know that the group buying market is a very important part of our group's development plan, but the recent group buying market is really not peaceful. ”

Pang Rui nodded quietly: "Because of the group? ”

"Yes, now the entire group buying market is messed up by that group, Lao Wu is also a headache, and he has been changing his development strategy recently, so I told him not to worry, after all, our Alipay has obtained the payment license."

Wu Bo also took the opportunity to answer: "Mr. Pang, Lashou is willing to go hand in hand with Alipay." ”

During the subsequent meal, Lu Zhichuan and Wu Bo have been talking about the implementation plan after the cooperation between Lashou and Alipay, as well as the help of both parties for mutual benefit and win-win results.

Roughly speaking, Alipay can directly carry out precise promotion through the offline channels of the handle, and it is blooming everywhere, and Pang Rui also nodded again and again, showing that he was very interested, and exchanged a cup with Wu Bo.

After eating, Wu Bo seemed to put his heart in his stomach, and returned to the hotel after saying goodbye, feeling that the wedding clothes of the group were draped on his body.

And Lu Zhichuan went back to the headquarters with Pang Rui, but when he arrived at the gate of the headquarters, Pang Rui suddenly stopped Lu Zhichuan.

"Does Mr. Lu know the boss of the group?"

"I know, a college student is named Jiang Qin, but I don't think it's right, Mr. Pang, do you think there are really college students who can do this kind of business?"

Pang Rui nodded quietly: "Yes, Jiang Qin." ”

Lu Zhichuan stopped, his expression slightly stunned: "Mr. Pang knows him?" ”

"We met, and on National Day two years ago, I thought he was a very capable businessman at first, and now I think he is terrible."
