Chapter 568 Three-Party Competition

"Autohome admits that it intends to acquire Gaoteng Maps!"

"After Baixun, Feichi Group has become the second large factory to operate across banks. Is cross-bank operation becoming a trend?"

"What kind of medicine is sold in Zhou Fei's gourd?"

…………

The announcement of Autohome can be said to have completely hammered the news of the acquisition of Gaoteng, triggering another wave of heated discussions.

It's just that the vast majority of netizens just expressed their incomprehension about this move, but few can correctly explain the real reason why Zhou Fei did this.

Only under the question of "How do you view Autohome's high-profile admission of its intention to acquire Gaoteng Maps? What is Zhou Fei's real purpose?" There are several excellent answers that touch the core of the question.

A netizen named “Pancakes with Fruits and Sausages and Eggs” commented on this question,

"I think Autohome, or Zhou Fei's desire to acquire Gaoteng Maps, should be related to the four modernizations of the car he proposed. Although I don't know which one is related to it, if we push the time forward If so, you should still remember that Baixun was the first partner Tesla chose? At that time, I didn’t understand why it had to be Baixun, but if the two things were connected, I would blindly guess that it was an important one. The reason is that the Baixun map under Baixun is one of the key factors that prompted Zhou Fei to choose Baixun, of course, this may just be my speculation."

Another aggressive user, "Prince of Versailles", demonstrated the authenticity of the speculation of "pancakes, fruit, intestines and eggs" from a more professional perspective:
"If you take a closer look at the four modernizations of automobiles proposed by Zhou Fei, you will find that intelligentization, or more generally, unmanned driving, requires the technical support of map software. "White Paper"... So, I'm sure that Zhou Fei's acquisition of Gaoteng Map this time is by no means a cross-border operation as many people say, but to pave the way for the next unmanned driving. Car enthusiasts, I hope that Zhou Fei can successfully acquire Gaoteng this time, and realize automatic driving as soon as possible!"

The fact that Autohome wants to acquire Gaoteng Maps has already been uploaded on the Internet, so its competitor, Baixun, naturally knows about it.

To be honest, when Xu Yingteng saw the news about this matter, his first reaction was that it must be fake news. He thought that the virtue map might participate in the acquisition, and that foreign counterparts would participate in the acquisition, but only, also Never thought that Autohome would also want to acquire Gaoteng Map!
After all, Xu Yingteng has just joined the car-making force, and his understanding of intelligence is no different from that of ordinary netizens. It is normal to not understand Zhou Fei's move.

"Could it be that Zhou Fei expected that Baixun would acquire Gaoteng Maps, and was he deliberately raising the price, or was he trying to get back at my backlash last time?" Xu Yingteng looked at the news with a frown and muttered in a low voice.

But soon, Xu Yingteng felt that this idea was a bit naive. Zhou Fei was not a child, and a commercial acquisition was not a play. How could Zhou Fei make fun of this matter.

"Mr. Xu, will you still send Gao Teng the map according to this quotation?" the secretary beside him asked cautiously.

At present, Baixun's quotation is given without knowing that Autohome is also involved. It is not known whether Xu Yingteng will make changes.

"Just according to this offer, after the first round of negotiation, Gao Teng won't sign a contract with Zhou Fei and the others right away." Xu Yingteng replied unequivocally. Existing quotation scheme.

Now that there is competition, the next step is to see whose quotation can impress Gao Teng more.

"Also, it was announced that Baixun will also start negotiations on the acquisition of Gaoteng Maps." Xu Yingteng added immediately.

***
It's really a wave of unrest, and another wave.On the afternoon of the same day when Autohome admitted its intention to acquire Gaoteng Maps, Baixun officially announced that Baixun Maps would also compete for the acquisition of Gaoteng Maps.

All of a sudden, it became more lively. The major media were very busy, and netizens even ate melons online. Reminiscent of the previous incident between Baixun and Feichi Company, Gao Teng The results of the acquisition cast a veil.

"It wasn't long before Zhou Fei admitted that he was going to buy it, and Xu Yingteng was also busy coming over to join in the fun. Now I've seen some of them."

"The last time the two companies were fighting with each other, they almost went to court. How long has it been since they started competing for the acquisition of Gaoteng Maps? It's really a narrow road."

"Gao Teng is really going to be acquired by Baixun Maps, then Baixun is equivalent to a monopoly in the field of map services. This is not a good thing!"

"Baixun is already the dominant company in the instant messaging market, but the map market can no longer be like this. I still support the successful acquisition of Autohome."

…………

Zhang Yuanxi naturally saw Baixun's high-profile announcement that it would participate in the acquisition of Gaoteng, but he was not surprised by this situation. Baixun would be interested in Gaoteng Maps. As expected.

However, Zhang Yuanxi felt very angry about Baixun's quotation this time. According to the acquisition offer sent by Baixun, Baixun's total quotation was only [-] million yuan, which was not only far lower than Zhang Yuanxi's valuation, but also Five hundred million less than the price quoted by Autohome!
"This Xu Yingteng is really cannibalistic!" Zhang Yuanxi couldn't help cursing angrily.

Even with a strong competitor like Autohome, Xu Yingteng only offered [-] million yuan. If only Baixun and his family participated in the acquisition, wouldn't it be even lower!
"Then chairman, do we need to reject Baixun's offer?" the secretary asked cautiously from the side.

"No." Zhang Yuanxi waved his hand, "Notify Baixun that they will come to meet and negotiate with us next Tuesday morning."

Although Baixun's offer was a bit low, Zhang Yuanxi still needed to grasp Baixun's card. Even if he refused, he had to refuse in person, and he had to wait until the negotiation with Autohome was over before refusing.

At the same time, Zhou Fei and others who were preparing to leave for Gaoteng headquarters the next day naturally also saw such reports. Although Zhou Fei thought the news was normal, it was different for Ma Huafu. The name of the news is annoying.

"It's really bad luck, you can meet Baixun everywhere." Ma Huafu couldn't help but muttered.

"The troublesome things are still to come, and we will deal with Baixun a lot in the future." Zhou Fei smiled and patted Ma Huafu on the shoulder and said.

"Then what should we do next?" Ma Huafu asked helplessly.

"Let's negotiate normally with Gaoteng first. We don't know Baixun's quotation yet, but I believe Gaoteng will definitely hint at us. Now it's a competition between the two. If it doesn't work, let's raise the quotation and see who agrees. Gao Teng's reservation price is even higher." Zhou Fei laughed.

"Now it's not a competition between two parties." Jiang Yang, who had been swiping his phone, suddenly raised his head to look at them, pointed his phone at them, and said with a wry smile, "Now it's a three-party competition."
