After rebirth, I want to destroy my original family
Chapter 679 Smoke filled the air
In late autumn, when yellow leaves are flying, Kuaidi is developing rapidly in Tianjin and surrounding cities, while Didi has quickly captured about half of the market share in Jiangcheng and Yuzhou.
Various advertising leaflets were distributed in four places, and the subsidy confrontation between different regions was full of gunpowder.
In this small-scale market battle, both sides seem to have taken advantage, but neither side seems to have taken advantage.
However, Chen Chuanxing's reputation in the circle has obviously risen. During October, the head of SoftBank China visited Kuaidi Technology's Hangzhou headquarters many times, and Hillhouse Capital also followed.
It can be seen that foreign capital is ready to take action in China's taxi market, and they are all optimistic about Kuaidi.
In contrast, Bibi has fallen into a situation where its presence is not strong in the entire taxi alliance.
After all, in the eyes of capital, the CEO of a startup does not need to be too calm, but must be bold.
In other words, daring to think and act is more favored than hesitating, because prudence comes after market unification. In the current stage of business war, you cannot win the crown without being ruthless.
Therefore, capital is more optimistic about Kuaidi, or to be more precise, more optimistic about Chen Chuanxing, which makes Cheng Wei's "calmness" become a derogatory term.
Liu Qing felt a bit disappointed with him. She really didn't understand why Cheng Wei was so cautious every time he mentioned Gu Ming.
Perhaps she was used to the way things were done in capitalist society. In her opinion, all the decisiveness and vigor that Gu Ming had shown in the past were nothing to be afraid of when faced with real money.
This feeling became even stronger at an investor conference in October when Liu Qing met Gu Ming in person and had a few words with him.
Events like the Investor Conference are held once or twice a year. Liu Qing attended as usual, but she didn't expect to see Gu Ming at the scene.
Out of incomprehension of Cheng Wei's cautiousness, Liu Qing took the initiative to greet Gu Ming.
She wanted to rely on her own contacts to re-evaluate this man who was almost praised as a fairy by the domestic market.
"Hello, Mr. Gu. I'm Liu Qing, the joint CEO of Kuaidi and Bibi."
Gu Ming looked at her and said, "Oh, I know. Your father and I know each other."
Liu Qing smiled slightly: "I haven't been back to China for long, but I have heard a lot about Mr. Gu and I admire him very much."
"it's nothing."
Gu Ming said modestly: "It's just that I have too much free time in college, so I took a part-time job..."
Liu Qing was stunned for a moment and thought to herself, I thought he was going to be modest, but he was thrown off in a flash.
However, Gu Ming's attention was not on him. Instead, he looked around the venue with his eyes wandering.
"Mr. Gu is looking for someone? Is it a friend you have an appointment with?"
"No, let me see who is more suitable to participate in the Hundred Days Banquet..."
Gu Ming muttered something, his expression suddenly froze, and then he turned to look at Liu Qing who was standing in front of him.
At noon, it started to rain lightly in the sky. Liu Qing left the investor conference and came to Bibi's headquarters to meet Cheng Wei.
"I've met Gu Ming. He's very ordinary."
“No matter what you say or do, you can’t see anything extraordinary about it.”
"I have met many outstanding CEOs in the United States, and without exception, they all have elite temperaments, but I can't feel that from Gu Ming."
"And all he talks about is family matters, either his daughter or his wife. I'm not trying to belittle him. I just want to tell you not to over-mythologize your opponents. The market is changing rapidly and you only get one chance."
Cheng Wei was silent for a long time after listening to Liu Qing's words, and began to feel restless inside.
Kuaidi is about to take over the Tianjin market, and it is estimated that it will be able to take advantage of the situation to enter the Beijing market before the Spring Festival. If Bibi does not take action, it will really have no chance.
Seeing that he was hesitant, Liu Qing decided to give him some space, but when she was leaving, she remembered something and said, "Mr. Cheng, lend me 1 yuan."
"Ok?"
"I like a pair of high heels, but I have no money left in my card."
Cheng Wei took out his phone and transferred 1 yuan to her, but he couldn't help but look a little confused, thinking, who is Liu Qing? How could she not even have 1 yuan?
Liu Qing took the money and said goodbye to him without any further explanation. She didn't expect to have to give gifts when attending an investor conference, and she didn't expect someone to carry a credit card machine with them...
Rain was falling outside the window, and there was a faint sound of thunder penetrating the clouds.
Cheng Wei watched Liu Qing leave, then stood in front of the French window and paced back and forth, thinking about Liu Qing's words.
There is no firm alliance in the real market. Everyone comes together because of the trend of interests. The same is true for Kuaidi and Bibi.
If Ali was not trying to contain group buying, Ma Yun would not have agreed to the merger of the two companies. If Uber had not been defeated by Didi, Bidi would not have benefited from it.
When facing a common enemy, the stronger the enemy appears, the closer this temporary alliance will be, but as the enemy becomes weaker, the alliance will lose its meaning. He knew it was time to take action.
Therefore, not long after the investors' conference ended, Bibi officially entered the Jinling market and set its sights on the East China Sea.
Beep couldn't wait any longer. Apart from taking the opportunity to sink into the market, Didi obviously had no better way to deal with it. In the final battle of kings, only Kuaidi and Beep participated.
People in the circle are also talking about Bibi's big move.
But what they were talking about was not the beep, nor the speed, but the beep.
The taxi market was originally controlled by Uber, but Didi turned the tide and dragged the market into its own rhythm, defeating Uber.
As a result, in just half a year, Kuaidi and Bibi teamed up to eat up the fruit that should have belonged to Didi. This is really regrettable.
But think about it carefully, if all the websites had united to solve the group buying problem first and then decide the winner, maybe group buying would no longer exist now.
Gu Ming had been very aggressive and had made countless enemies along the way, so it was not surprising that he would face this situation.
The market is everyone's market. If there is a company that is invincible, it will inevitably become the target of everyone's siege. This is reasonable, right? Otherwise, what will others eat?
However, what happened immediately afterwards caused an uproar in the entire Internet business community.
The trial operation of Alipay's Yu'ebao has officially ended and has been fully opened to the public. As a financial product, Yu'ebao's interest rate is much higher than bank deposits, and the number of users has increased significantly in a short period of time.
At this time, I don’t know who was the first to shout out, “Deposit big money in Alipay, small money in Cloud QuickPass” is getting louder and louder in the market.
And then, another piece of news came out, which made the whole situation become tense.
Ali is planning to acquire Ele.Buy in full and negotiations are currently underway.
In an external interview, Ali said that ecological construction in the field of life services will be the key development direction in the next stage.
At this moment, almost everyone realized that Ali was really going to strike first.
Ele.bu, Koubei, Taoyingpiao, since the payment war, Alipay is no longer a simple payment tool, it is an aggregated version of group buying.
And now, with the full launch of Yu'ebao, Ali seems to be targeting the core business of group buying.
As for Dianping, which is owned by Tencent, it seems to be eyeing the market share held by group buying. Meanwhile, WeChat payment has also fully entered the college student market and has entered the cafeterias of college students across the country.
"Idiot, are you so cruel?"
"In the past few years of joining the group, we have indeed become a bit too strong..."
"Who says it's not true? Since 09, Alibaba and Tencent have spent a lot of money in the O2O field, but in the end, the mature market was snatched away by group buying. It feels like you spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a dowry to marry a wife, but in the end, someone else slept with her on the wedding night!"
"If you can force a big company to do this, you can still leave your mark in history by joining a group."
“顾明才2十5岁啊,各位,顾明才2十5岁啊,我他妈2十5岁还在跑保险呢!”
"But Ali and Tencent suddenly started to have a tacit understanding. Even a god can't stop them, right?"
"Damn it, this kind of hellish game, you can brag even if you lose!"
In fact, neither Alibaba nor Tencent, nor their subsidiaries have said anything about targeting group buying.
There was almost an entire autumn between Kuaidi’s entry into Tianjin, Bibi’s entry into Jinling, Yu’ebao’s full opening up, and Ali’s proposed acquisition of Ele.me.
In the eyes of ordinary people, big manufacturers are just taking action again, but they don't think about the connection.
In fact, most people are not very clear about the relationship between apps such as Bibi, Ele.bu, and Taoyingpiao and Ali and Tencent.
So this does not belong to any form of cooperation, it is just a coincidence that everyone intends to enter the core field of team building.
Perhaps it will not be until many years later, when this battle is completely over, and when some self-media bloggers who like to analyze business development begin to dig deep into the details, that they will understand that this was actually a sniper attack on group buying.
Only then can we use simple language and words to show everyone the danger at that time as much as possible.
At this moment, the person who feels the wind and waves the most is actually Pintuan, who is in the center of the eye of the storm.
Since the autumn, all the actions of major factories have been driven by group-building activities. Such actions inevitably make group-building employees worried.
There is no flames of war or gunpowder smoke, but for the group, the atmosphere of war has begun to slowly dissipate.
