I have to teach the world a lesson

In the early morning of March 5th.

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

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

Zhang Xing's eyes were red and he seemed to be feeling something, but after holding it in for a long time, he finally stopped holding in a fart and finally pulled a barbecue skewer and chewed it hard.

He seemed a little excited.

When China's group buying war was at its hottest, everyone was furious.

Only his [group buying] completely fell behind, lost the capital injection, and began to wander on the edge, trying very hard not to be cannibalized, and it was extremely hard to hold on.

He also regretted it.

He didn't know what the future would bring, but deep down he was still unwilling to become a runner.

Naturally, I regret listening to Zhang Sheng’s nonsense and taking sides. Otherwise, in this [Thousand Regiments War] that will go down in history, even if his [Group Buying] may not be the protagonist, it will still be one of the last brands on the battlefield. !

But regret is of no use after all. Once a person walks a path forward, it is impossible to look back. Even if there is a cliff ahead, you must jump off.

He didn’t complain or say anything. He just followed Zhang Sheng’s arrangements and expanded the industrial chain of [Group Buying]. Not only did he establish a close relationship with [Honeycomb Ji Delivery], he also found another takeaway brand in the market [ Jimi Takeaway] Reached a deep strategic binding cooperation...

From mid-January to early March…

[Group buying] is always in the dormant stage of neither rising nor falling.

Without the inflow of large amounts of capital, it is destined to be unable to compete on the battlefield with websites such as [Harvest Group Buying] and [Fengyu Mall].

But [group buying] also has its advantages, that is, the industrial chain is complete, and the cooperation between merchants and food delivery is close. Both parties stick to the small area. Other brands such as [Lainiao Food Delivery], [Any Door], [Hungry Door] [Takeaway] and even [Honeycomb Extreme Delivery] cannot penetrate.

During this period, he endured it until the end, until [Groupon] went public...

【Groupon】The second day of listing!

The entire group buying market was in complete chaos, but Zhang Xing became excited!

The poor market value and stock price of [Groupon] proved that his decision to choose Zhang Sheng was not wrong.

Single [group buying] will not work not only in China, but also in the United States. Only when the O2O model is fully rolled out in a true sense can it be viable!

End of February.

Zhang Sheng came to [Group Buying] to get a general understanding of [Group Buying]’s current situation.

In early March, after seeing the chaos in the group buying market, he keenly realized that his opportunity had come!

"I seem to have become your dog!"

Under the light.

Zhang Xing, who had been holding back for a long time, suddenly said this quietly.

Receiving an investment of 200 million from [Tengji Technology] is a timely blessing for [Group Buying], which has now completed its transformation and integration. It means that he once again has new energy to continue fighting in the next [Takeaway War] , this is the most exciting thing.

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

Apart from being a tool, a dog, sitting on the bench, etc., he did not even have any say in the capital market. Even when he walked into the office to talk to Zheng Huateng about investment, Zheng Huateng always stared at Zhang Sheng.

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

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

but……

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

Zhang Sheng looked at Zhang Xing while flicking the skewers. From Zhang Xing's extremely complicated eyes, he could probably guess the turmoil deep in Zhang Xing's heart.

After a moment, he said seriously.

"How do you plan to fight this next battle? How do you need my cooperation?"

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

"When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we fight!" Zhang Sheng also fell into deep thought for a short time. After clearing his thoughts, he then smiled and uttered the four-character motto: "Timing." arrive!"

When he heard these four-character motto, Zhang Xing's eyes became more complicated. After lowering his head and pondering for a moment, he suddenly became energetic and then nodded.

"good!"

……………………

First half of 2010.

The flood of liquidity after the economic crisis has driven the capital market to heat up rapidly, coupled with the booming development of China Internet, allowing countless Internet companies to see the hope of the times...

During this period, a video website named [Kuyou] went public in the United States, and its stock price soared 55.9% on the first day. The listing of [Kuyou Video] ushered in a seven-month long period for Chinese concept stocks to be listed in the United States. The capital market has continued to heat up in the past seven months. 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 craze to its peak.

The capital market's craziness about the Huaxia concept also quickly affected the entrepreneurial market. A large number of startups received investment, especially the exciting news about Google's acquisition of [Groupon], which directly kicked off the Chinese group buying war!

However……

2011, February.

After the IPO climax, some U.S. investment institutions deliberately short-sold and a series of frauds occurred, and Chinese concept stocks quickly fell from the peak to the bottom. Except for [Kuyou Video], all other Chinese concept stocks listed in the second half of 2010 and the beginning of 2011 all broke without exception. However, except [Escape Marriage Network], which had originally planned to be listed, successfully landed on the New York Stock Exchange and group buying website Both Harvest Group Buying and LianShou.com postponed their listing plans due to force majeure. Almost overnight, the door to listing in the United States was tightly closed.

but……

Although China's capital wave has been hit, it has not been cold. Instead, Lingshou.com is betting that after Groupon's listing, it can change everything, continue to open the closed door, and then win over a new wave of investors again. wave of capital boom.

February of this year!

The crazy [Group Buying Capital] fight, with countless capitals and entrepreneurs participating in the battle, has almost completely destroyed the [Group Buying] market.

Behind the seemingly gratifying data, countless capital and entrepreneurs are actually sweating it out!

They are all like gamblers, betting most or even all of their wealth on a brilliant dawn. Moreover, the [Thousand Regiments War] has been going on for more than half a year, and wanting to stop at this moment is nothing more than a joke!

However, large capitals such as [Tianhong Capital], [Tengji Technology], and [Taozhu.com] have sensed the unusual nature of this capital war, and left early to wait for the opportunity!

However, many small and medium-sized capitals do not have this sense. They swallow up all the capital of their predecessors, enter the market with red eyes like wild beasts, and continue to fall into an endless fight, all trying to fight out the dawn!

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

[Groupon] was once the trigger of China’s [Thousand Regiments War], but it has also become the death knell of [Thousand Regiments War]!

March 5th…

[Groupon] The market and stock prices are still falling!

After four consecutive falls, China’s [group buying] market, which was once close to crazy, is filled with victims.

Overnight...

The capital is trying every possible means to get away from the scene. Even if they break an arm, they will leave!

[[Mimi Group Buying] was revealed to be in arrears with advertising fees! 】

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

[[Tiantian Group Buying] It was revealed that merchant subsidies were owed nearly 100 million, the investors behind the scenes completely left the market, and the founder Gao Mingliang went bankrupt! 】

[[Honeycomb Jisong] announced the formal acquisition of the remaining shares of [Minuo Group Purchase] for RMB 100 million, and [Baotuan.com] announced its reorganization and may temporarily withdraw from the Chinese market...]

【……】

From March 5th to March 20th.

In just half a month...

Almost every day, we can see one [group buying website] going bankrupt or closing...

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

In this shocking and complicated social atmosphere, the once brilliant group buying website ushered in the cruelest and craziest reshuffle overnight!

There are corpses and ruins everywhere!

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

Not only the [Group Buying Market] is implicated, but also many Internet companies in China are implicated by this capital wave.

[YK Live] This once old live broadcast website has achieved great success in its transformation. This year, it was repeatedly provoked by [Jitu Live]. When it was angrily preparing to sharpen its knife and completely suppress [Jitu Live], it encountered Huaxia Capital winter!

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

Zhong Qian of [YK Live] looked at the 50 million investment, and saw the increasingly crazy traffic of [Jitu Video], and suddenly became anxious.

If he doesn't think of a way to suppress [Jitu Video], if he gives [Jitu Video] a few more months, he will be completely unable to suppress him!

Even Wang Jiancong, the young master of [Wanda Group], announced at this moment that [Humi Live Broadcast] was coming...

There are chasing soldiers in front of you, and hungry wolves are watching behind you!

In this anxious mood, he desperately looked for various domestic and foreign capital and financing!

but……

[Thousands of Regiments War] has severely damaged the vitality of countless small and medium-sized capitals, making it difficult to spend money to enter new industries...

But those veteran capitals are always watching calmly. Even if they inject capital, they still have to wait!

At this juncture, he saw that [Jitu Video] seemed to be close to [Tengji Technology] again!

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

……………………

“The capital winter is coming!”

"But, for us, it is a new opportunity!"

"You don't have to worry about bullets. We have enough bullets. You don't have to worry about anything else. We have already sat at the card table. Now, it is time for us to play our cards!"

"The market is just a big fat piece of meat. I have only 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 intent!

He spit out the word "kill"!
