A cheap business empire starting from mobile phones

Chapter 141 Teng Xu Comes
The current short video market is still dominated by a crowd, with Meipai, Miaopai, Kuaivideo, Kuaishou, Douyin, Xiaokaxiu, Pear Video, and Weishi. Among them, Douyin has a tendency to dominate the market, with more than 8000 million users , 6000 million daily active users, ranking first in market share.

There is a saying in the market that those who play Xiaokaxiu may not be able to play Weishi, but those who play Weishi will definitely play Douyin.

In addition, it was the first to open the live broadcast function, taking the lead, and a large number of high-quality content creators settled in.

In the current situation, he probably won the battle of Guandu with Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao died of illness, which has basically established the trend of unifying the world.

As long as Douyin does not make mistakes, the more time goes by, the more so.

Under this situation, several other companies can’t sit still. They are pouring dirty water on Douyin and scolding the Internet, but they still haven’t stopped Douyin from growing its momentum. These Internet company giants are known as the third of the three major Internet factions. The Xu Department, the Ali Department, and the Baidu Department offered olive branches to the whole people one after another, intending to acquire them.

The weakest of the three companies is Baidu. It started as a search engine with a market value of 2400 billion soft sister coins. Its main business is Baidu search, Baidu online disk, iQiyi and Baidu map. The acquisition price for Douyin is 600 billion soft sisters Currency, acquired in the form of 300 billion cash and 300 billion stock.

The 800 billion cash acquisition of Longji was rejected by Lin Shu, and Baidu's 600 billion was naturally rejected as well.

Ali is the second strongest among the three, an e-commerce company with a market value of 12288 billion soft sister coins. Its subsidiaries include Taobao, Tmall, Xianyu, Juhuasuan, Are you hungry, Youku Tudou, Gaode Map, UC Browser, Cainiao Network, The acquisition plan for Douyin is 240 billion US dollars, a wholly-owned acquisition, which happens to be the current valuation of Douyin.

240 billion U.S. dollars is equal to 1488 billion soft sister coins. Lin Shu is thinking about what kind of life he will live if he owns this money.

After half a minute, gave up, couldn't figure it out.

1488 billion yuan, if you are 80 years old and 29200 days in your life, it is equivalent to spending an average of 509 million a day to spend it all.

Unless he bought a house, Lin Shu couldn't imagine spending 509 million a day in his life.

And the money he currently earns is enough for him to live a lifetime, so there is no need to covet more money.

Therefore, Lin Shu also refused Ali's acquisition—Ali's attitude towards the acquisition was too tough, and Lin Shu's refusal was very shameless and offended Ali.

The third company is Tengxu, with a market value of 13621 billion soft sister coins. In addition to its own instant messaging and games, its influence has penetrated into all walks of life, e-commerce, short video, takeaway, Q&A, finance, 020, hardware, media, and slightly larger fields Teng Xu can be seen.

Naturally, it attaches great importance to short videos that can challenge its status as a social giant.

Liu Chiping, the second person in the Tengxu Empire, was dispatched. Liu Chiping was a fierce man with excellent academic performance and hard work. At the age of 25, he had already obtained a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan and two master's degrees from Stanford University and Northwestern University. Normal people 25 It has only been two years since I graduated from my undergraduate degree, let alone multiple degrees.

After graduating and joining Goldman Sachs, he became the executive director of Goldman Sachs Asia Investment Banking Department in a short period of time. He has led the reorganization and listing of many large groups, and has excellent strategic vision.

It can be said that Tengxu Empire has grown from a mere chat software and game manufacturer to a top investment company, with huge returns on investment. Liu Chiping has made a huge contribution to today's height, and is known as Tengxu's brain and the strongest military adviser.

At [-]:[-] p.m., in the main meeting room of National Science and Technology in the International Finance Building, Tengxu President Liu Chiping and his team walked into the meeting room to discuss the acquisition.

Entering the conference room, Liu Chiping saw a handsome man welcoming him and said, "Vield guest Teng Xu, please sit down."

Liu Chiping knew that he was Lin Shu, who had recently become famous. He was only 21 years old and already in charge of two large companies with a valuation of nearly 300 billion US dollars. He smiled at him and said, "Mr. Lin, hello."

Simply shake hands and sit opposite each other.

Lin Shu pointed to the person next to him and said, "Please let me introduce our staff."

"Please." Liu Chiping was polite.

"This is Mr. Huang Jiangbin, the executive vice president of our National Science and Technology, and the person in charge of the national mobile phone." Lin Shu introduced one by one: "This is Cai Jielian, the chief financial officer, in charge of finance; Yang Feiyan, the senior vice president, in charge of the president's office; Vice President Feng Gefei is in charge of administrative personnel; Senior Vice President Ying Yilong is in charge of mobile business and is also the person in charge of Douyin; Vice President Liu Jie is the global spokesperson of Quanmin Technology; Vice President Ma Pinjing is in charge of Kuaishou business; Vice President Yan Bigong , the director of the smart hardware supply chain; Shang Jin, the general manager of the National Mall, Yuan Chongwen, the chip manager, Li Yilei from Yuexiang Entertainment, Zhou Yaping, the AI ​​engineer of Long Ji, and Jain from overseas business.”

Liu Chiping looked at them one by one, smiled and gestured. He didn't quite understand Lin Shu's intention in introducing them, so he could only follow the introduction.

After the two sides introduced each other, Lin Shu got to the point: "About your company's plan to invest in Douyin."

Knowing the important point, Liu Chiping asked his assistant to hand over the acquisition plan to Quanmin's main executives. After they read the outline, he looked at Lin Shu and said solemnly: "Teng Xu is optimistic about Quanmin Technology and the future development of Douyin, and wants to invest in Douyin. Sound is not an acquisition, but an investment. Based on the valuation of Douyin’s operating company Initial C at US$240 billion, an investment of US$72 billion is required to obtain 30% of the shares. It does not require a controlling stake. With cooperation, in the future, Quanmin Technology can accelerate its development with the help of Tengxu's platform."

"This is an investment in a strategic partnership. We, Tengxu, have no intention of controlling Douyin and interfering in the decision-making of science and technology for the whole people."

Lin Shu nodded slightly.

Since the 3Q war, Tengxu has not received fame and fortune, and Tengxu has changed its development thinking. It does not directly enter various fields to compete with competitors, but to expand its influence through investment and mergers and acquisitions.

In the past five years, entertainment media, consumer retail, livelihood education, financial technology, and corporate services have investment tentacles in basically important fields, and the invested parties have also developed rapidly with the help of Tengxu's traffic support, becoming the top in the industry.

Famous ones such as JD.com, Meituan, and Zhihu.

Tengxu is famous for chatting and games on the surface, but in fact it has the greatest value in the investment field.

And compared to Alibaba investing in killing a company, Tengxu Investment can indeed revitalize and grow a company.

Lin Shu believes in Tengxu's sincerity. If you are looking for investment, Tengxu is indeed a good choice. With WeiQ's billion-level users, Douyin's development will be easier.

However, Lin Shu shook his head and said, "Your side is very sincere, but have you considered that Douyin is not short of money."

"That's true." Liu Chiping responded. Those who can donate 200 billion, the 72 billion US dollars and more than 400 billion are really not worth it. He considered this and continued: "Once again, Teng Xu has no intention of controlling Douyin. , is planning to conclude a strategic partnership with the whole people, Douyin short videos can be added to Tengxu’s social ecological chain, sharing WeChat and QQ channels, which will help Douyin.”

"72 billion US dollars for a 30% stake, if the whole people think it is too low, we can discuss it again. We, Tengxu, are very sincere and can raise the price. It is not impossible to reach 100 billion US dollars."

The conditions are very tempting. Lin Shu nodded and asked, "If Douyin agrees to Teng Xu's shareholding, Teng Xu really intends not to interfere in Douyin's decision-making at all, including some decisions that are not conducive to Teng Xu?"

Liu Chiping pondered for a moment, and replied: "In principle, Tengxu will not interfere with any decision-making of the investment company. If the development of the investment company conflicts with our Tengxu, we can talk about it to avoid unnecessary competition. Mr. Lin, what do you mean by Weishi?" No need to worry, if Douyin is willing to give up more shares, the Weishi department can join Douyin, and all short video resources, manpower, and technology are owned by the whole people.”

See you at the picture. Lin Shu knew it in his heart.

How could things be so simple, Teng Xu would not be so kind and give 72 billion unconditionally.

There must be hidden conditions in it.

With these words, Teng Xu really still cares about the management rights of Douyin, and now it's just a bait.

On the surface, he said flatly: "It's not just Douyin, but also the field of food delivery and taxi-hailing. The initial text company is an Internet company. Short video is only one of the main businesses of the initial text. It will enter other fields in the future. By then Maybe it will compete with Teng Xu like Weishi, and Teng Xu will not interfere?"

Liu Chiping lifted his plain glasses and guessed what Lin Shu meant just now.

As a new social software, Douyin has shown an astonishing momentum at present, and has a tendency to monopolize the market.

And Teng Xu can't limit it, and can't catch up.

Social networking is the pillar industry of Tengxu, and it cannot allow others to threaten its status.

There is a software that may threaten the status, and Tengxu will either acquire it and become part of the system, or find a way to restrict it.

There is no way to limit it, the best option is to buy.

That's why he came here.

But Lin Shu's words mean that the national science and technology ambitions are not small, and they are not limited to the short video field, but also want to enter other fields.

For this kind of thinking, Liu Chiping can understand, and kindly reminded: "Xiaolin, I know that young people are more greedy, they want everything, and they are more confident, thinking that difficulties can be overcome, but let me tell you something, the world's Internet is developing rapidly. In the past ten years, countless companies have emerged, many living legends have emerged, and a large number of entrepreneurs have died, fighting and fighting until now, and the few remaining companies have dominated the market and become giants in the industry."

"Look carefully, and you will find that none of these giants is leading in two different fields. Basically, there is only one field, and the lines are like mountains. It is already a remarkable thing to be able to specialize in one field. If it is too big, it is easy to fall, and it will affect the main business instead.”

Lin Shu did not agree with Liu Chiping's statement, nor did he argue, and continued to ask: "Yusanjia Meituan, Are You Hungry, and Baidu Waimai in the food delivery market belong to the Tengxu Department, Ali Department, and Baidu Department respectively. We all enter the food delivery industry. If there is a competitive conflict with Teng Xu, Teng Xu will not interfere."

Liu Chiping thought for a while and said: "Competition is not only about conflict competition, but also healthy competition. If Quanmin Technology enters the food delivery field and develops to the point where it can compete with the three major food delivery companies on an equal footing, we Tengxu can promote healthy competition and avoid conflicts. Lose-lose."

"At the end of the day, we still need to interfere." Lin Shu looked at Liu Chiping and said.

Liu Chiping shook his head: "This is not interference, it is to ensure that interests will not be damaged."

Lin Shu insisted: "I don't agree with healthy competition here. I just want to leave one in the market, so what about Teng Xu."

Liu Chiping frowned, dissatisfied with Lin Shu's current attitude, which was too forceful, but he quickly calmed down and said calmly: "If the whole people have the ability to dominate the market, Tengxu can facilitate the merger of the two, just like Youku and Tudou. , it’s okay to be led by the whole people.”

Lin Shu was surprised by such a calm answer, so he could only use his big move, and said with contemptuous eyes: "I want to enter the field of instant messaging, develop chat software, so what if I will compete with Tengxu again, and also choose to merge? Enter the national chat software."

Liu Chiping raised his glasses again and looked at Lin Shu carefully, seeing that his nose was upturned and his eyes were squinting towards him.

Combining these words, it turns out that Lin Shu is very arrogant as rumored in the industry.

Feeling disdainful in my heart, I smiled and said: "If Quanmin enters instant messaging and can have a violent conflict with Teng Xu, it doesn't matter if WeChat is merged into Quanmin."

Liu Chiping did not tell lies, indeed.

As long as Quanmin develops a chat software that can compete with Tengxu WeChat, WeChat can be incorporated into Quanmin.

That being said, in fact, it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen.

The instant messaging market is a foregone conclusion, and no one can shake Tengxu's status, unless there is a new social interaction like Douyin.

Old social competition, Teng Xu is invincible.

Another unexpected answer, Lin Shu did not go around with him, and said directly: "President Teng Xu Liu, Douyin will be listed in the capital market, but I, Lin Shu, agree to this meeting, not to find venture capitalists, nor to seek Collaborator, I just want to tell you one thing, Douyin is the Douyin of Quanmin Technology, and Quanmin Technology is a national technology exclusively for me, Lin Shu. In the future, Quanmin Technology will enter many fields, including chat software, so Quanmin Technology The development direction conflicts with Tengxu, we are competitors, not partners.”

"Regardless of Baidu, Ali, or Tengxu, I, Lin Shu, refuse any acquisition and investment requests. If you are not satisfied, just come and fight."

Liu Chiping was a little stunned by Lin Shu's words. He was still negotiating well just now, but why did it suddenly become a declaration of battle, scrutinizing Lin Shu.

He looked serious, not joking at all.

Seeing this, Liu Chiping put down his glasses, wiped the lenses, put them back again, and said in a flat tone: "Some people say that Lin Shu is an arrogant person. When I saw you today, I believe it. Some people say that Lin Shu is a genius. Seeing your achievements, I believe it too, but apart from arrogance and prodigy, I think Lin Shu you are a lunatic, a lunatic through and through, who doesn't play by business rules at all, and looks at profit in the business field, not just playing with one's temper and being rational for a long time."

'Sure enough, he is the prime minister of the Tengxu Empire. He has a very good heart. If he were any other executive, he would have already lost his temper. Lin Shu sighed in admiration, and then said: "Outsiders' evaluations have no real impact on me. The focus is on the market. I don't like Teng Xu's style. I want to re-establish the rules, which will inevitably cause irreconcilable conflicts with you. "

"It's not necessary." Liu Chiping comforted him after experiencing the 3Q battle, and his mentality has changed.

But before he could speak, Lin Shu resolutely said: "It is very necessary. Let me say it again. I don't like Teng Xu's style. I want to redo the rules. This is the end of the negotiation. Let's see off the guests."

Yang Feiyan stood up at the right time, walked to Liu Chiping, and made a gesture of please leave.

Liu Chiping looked at Lin Shu. Lin Shu had no room for discussion and felt dissatisfied.

He went to the Pengcheng official, and he was also the number one interviewee. How could he come to Quanmin's place and be treated like this.

Reason told him that there was no need to be angry about this little treatment. In fact, he was not very emotional. He stood up and left Quanmin Technology without saying anything.

Since the whole people have this attitude, Tengxu funds and resources will be transferred to Meipai.

He wanted to teach Lin Shu what awe was in the business world.

After Liu Chiping left completely, Lin Shu resumed his smile, and he could get down to business today.

shareholding.

If the whole people want to further develop and prevent executives from betraying, punitive measures are not enough, and there must be enough big interests to bind them.

This is reality.
