My Age of Investment

   Chapter 1545 Cracks

   A few days later, Zhang Yong walked into Xia Jingxing's office with a sullen face, and opened his mouth with explosive news.

   "Andrew Mason did not return to the United States, but moved to Pengcheng with a group of executives."

"Oh."

   Hearing this news, Xia Jingxing was not surprised at all, let alone flustered, he slowly stopped his work and replied indifferently, "Understood, let him go."

  Zhang Yong thought for a moment, then gently reminded: "If the two of them join forces, will there be any changes?"

   "What variable? If two sheep join forces, will they be able to defeat a pack of wolves around them?"

   Seeing that Xia Jingxing still had an indifferent attitude and his tone was full of contempt, Zhang Yong was worried that the boat would capsize in the gutter, and persuaded again: "I think we should at least do something.

Although   Penguin has been stymied by social warfare, it is still the top Internet company in China, at least until our WeChat completely defeated QQ.

  Groupon is also the originator of group buying. It has experienced many battles and is very experienced…”

  Xia Jingxing patiently listened to Zhang Yong's concerns, and smiled silently. He didn't think the other party was too cautious, after all, not everyone had an open-minded perspective like him.

   "I explained to you a few days ago why it is not suitable for Hainan Holdings to do group buying in person, so I won't repeat it here.

   I just want to emphasize one point, focus on the main business, don’t be blinded by all kinds of new track fans. "

  Xia Jingxing paused for a while, and then said: "Let's talk about the penguins, obviously they have already fought with us in the dark, and they don't know how to reach out to the group buying business.

   Just wait and see, Andrew Mason's group will definitely give Pone Horse a big surprise. "

   Zhang Yong nodded lightly, although he was still a little reluctant to give up the big fat in the group buying market, but the boss had said it all, and he could only choose to obey.

   In addition, the boss also mentioned one point, giving Gaopeng.com, a big money-burning pit, to Penguin to step on. From this perspective, it can be regarded as supporting the fierce battle on the main battlefield from the side.

   Of course, the premise is that Gaopeng is a real pit, not a hematopoietic channel for penguins.

   "Qianxun supports Nuomi.com, Meituan joins Ali, Penguin and Gaopeng join forces, we support Dianping."

  Xia Jingxing looked at Zhang Yong with a smile on his face and asked, "Do you know what this means? It means that the four BATH giants will start a proxy war in the group buying field together.

   Chihiro and Ahri will not talk about it. In the past two years, I have saved a few coins in my pocket. If I don’t take it out, I will be unhappy.

   But what about penguins? In recent years, the company has suffered repeated losses and the company's stock price has been sluggish. "

   Zhang Yong thought for a moment and asked, "Are you so sure that Pony Horse will agree to cooperate with Groupon?"

"Will do!"

  Xia Jingxing said very confidently: "I know Pony Horse, he is too eager for a hearty victory.

   But unfortunately, we won't give them a chance, neither will Ahri and Chihiro. "

   Zhang Yong smiled and nodded. Today, BATH's ranking seems to be changed, at least H should be ranked before T.

reason? The valuation and revenue of domestic holdings have greatly surpassed Penguin.

   "Oh, by the way, you will hand over to Rao Lei and Zhang Tao. Vision Capital will transfer 20% of the shares to Domestic Holdings."

   Hearing this, Zhang Yong was instantly happy, "Okay, I'll go to meet them right away."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and nodded, this equity transfer should have been done long ago. After all, Envision Capital and Domestic Holdings are two independent companies. We cannot always let Domestic Holdings help in vain, and we want to share the benefits.

   Domestic Holdings holds 41.56% of the shares of Dianping, splitting 20% ​​to Vision Capital, and there is still over 20%, which is not a small proportion, and it is not that eye-catching.

   Even if he wants to wipe out all the unicorn companies, he has to pay a little attention to the appearance. It is very reasonable for Envision Capital and Domestic Holdings to jointly invest and hold shares.

   Vision Capital gives money, and domestic holdings give resources.

   Future investments in other unicorn companies can also follow this example.

  …

  …

  Pengcheng.

   Bonima happily welcomed Andrew Mason and his party who came to visit and seek cooperation. The two sides talked very happily and reached many cooperations.

Before Andrew Mason left China, Ponima, who was already living a bit tight, even rented a luxury yacht and took Andrew Mason and his party out to sea for a day. When he arrived in the capital, Xia Jingxing, who didn't even invite a roast duck, was not sure how much stronger he was.

  Andrew Mason felt that Bonima was a good person and a trustworthy partner. After signing the cooperation agreement of intent, he felt relieved to return to the United States to prepare for the matter of entering China.

After    sent Andrew Mason and his party away, Bonima and Liu Zhiping had a private meeting with several confidants.

   "What do you think about the cooperation?"

   Bonima leaned on the chair, lit a cigarette, and then looked at everyone with a relaxed expression while blowing smoke.

   "If Gaopeng.com can be successfully completed, it can play a role in boosting the stock price."

   "Yes, the company's stock price has been in the doldrums for so long, it's time for a big rebound."

"The valuation of domestic holdings has reached 220 billion yuan, and the market value of Penguin is less than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars. Seriously, are we that much worse than them? Now what the company and shareholders need most is a victory to restore everyone. Confidence."

  …

  Many executives were speaking, but Liu Zhiping said nothing, staring blankly at the teacup in front of him.

   "Martin, what's your opinion?"

  Liu Zhiping looked up at Bonima and replied with a smile: "I'm still saying that, I'm a little worried about the relationship between Vision Capital and Groupon.

   We work with Groupon, but Vision Capital is a shareholder of Groupon. "

   "I have also considered your doubts, and I have repeatedly asked Mason. He assured me: China's Gaopeng.com is an independent company, and Vision Capital is not qualified to intervene beyond the management."

   Speaking of this, Bonima gloated: "And I also found that Mason seems to be very dissatisfied with Xia Jingxing inside and out."

  Liu Zhiping smiled, "Of course I'm dissatisfied, the domestic holding group should have cooperated with them, but Xia Jingxing has already raised a junior and a junior outside..."

   Bonima laughed and said: "So, looking for a partner is like falling in love, you still have to be more specific, I heard that Huang Xin also flirts with Jack Ma.

  Look at it, Xia Jingxing is too "lovely", he hooks up everywhere, and it won't be long before everyone will betray his relatives and leave. "

   A group of Penguin executives all laughed, teasing Xia Jingxing has almost become a procedure that they must go through in their meetings.

   Only Liu Zhiping didn't laugh, he said very calmly, "Xia Jingxing is rich, so he can be romantic everywhere, but we can't."

   Hearing this, the executives were all silent, and silently turned their attention to Pony Horse.

Just in time to say something depressing, Bonima felt a little unhappy, but he still managed to squeeze a smile on his face, "It's okay, it's only 50 million US dollars. Didn't we raise 12.5 billion Hong Kong dollars? That's a little bit of money. Still worth it.”

   "There are less than ten billion Hong Kong dollars left." Liu Zhiping added.

   Bonima felt a little unhappy in his heart, why is it that which pot is not opened and which pot is being lifted?

   Am I spending all this money alone? I have started selling my house, am I easy?

   Bonima didn't speak with a dark face, and the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became weird.

  There was a disagreement between the CEO and the president, and the executives present did not know who to support, so they all acted as sculptures.

  Zhang Zhidong quickly changed the subject and said, "There is good news to share with everyone. Android can't stand the pressure of public opinion and has stopped blocking Wechat."

   Bonima sneered and said, "Xia Jingxing would always block us if he had the ability. Now that he is soft, I despise him."

   "It's not that he has given up, he just thinks it's pointless to block. Wechat has more than 100 million users, and there is not much time left for Wechat to catch up."

   Liu Zhiping didn't know what medicine he was taking wrongly today, he kept telling the truth without any regard for Bonima's face, which forced the executives present to sweat.

  At the moment of foreign enemies, what should I do if my family quarrels first, or if there is a more serious conflict.

   Bonima glanced at Liu Zhiping and said calmly, "Do you think Wechat can't keep up with Wechat?"

   "It's very difficult to catch up, so I think we should shrink the battle line a bit and focus on winning the social battle first, and then talk about other things."

   These words of Liu Zhiping fell very harshly in Bonima's ears. This was a complete overthrow of the strategy he formulated, and to put it more seriously, it violated his authority as CEO.

   But Pony Horse still managed to hold back his anger, and said lightly: "The strategy has been formulated, there is no need to change it, everyone should obey.

   is right or wrong, we will see the outcome at the end of the year. "
