Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

If Xingyi Technology is a small company and Wang Yi doesn't have much ability, Xingyi Video would have died under Baidu's ban!

Could this be a misunderstanding?

Baidu has this style of doing things, blocking and suppressing them at every turn.

In the previous life, Gaode Map was blocked and suppressed by Baidu, which made it very ungrateful.

There is also NavInfo, which had a large amount of underlying map data stolen by Baidu Maps and had to sue for rights protection.

As a result, after Baidu lost the lawsuit, it continued to use various means to delay it until it finally lost the lawsuit 7 years later and had to pay NavInfo more than 6000 million...

After being infringed for so many years and delayed for seven years, I only had to pay more than 6000 million...

Even if NavInfo ultimately wins the lawsuit, it will suffer heavy losses.

Now it is Wang Yi who has the strength and makes Baidu really hurt, so he will bow his head.

Otherwise, how could Baidu bow its head? Apologize?

joke!

Wang Yi knew this in his heart, and naturally he would not be paralyzed by Qu Xin's smile.

Qu Xin chuckled: "Director Wang, this is all done by people from iQiyi. Director Li and I have absolutely no intention of doing this. We come here with sincerity!"

"Really?" Wang Yi smiled lightly and didn't bother to think about it: "What kind of sincerity?"

Qu Xin smiled and said: "Dr. Wang, you bought Amap for 35.5 billion, and we at Baidu are willing to buy it back for 45.5 billion. This is our sincerity!"

I’ll give you an extra billion, is that enough sincerity?

Accept it before things get better, take money and negotiate!

Qu Xin is confident.

He felt that Wang Yi would never refuse the price of one billion.

Wang Yi was extremely speechless: "Acquisition of Gaode...Sorry, not selling!"

Not to mention 45.5 billion, even if it is 55.5 billion, we won’t sell it!

As an underlying map data service provider, AutoNavi is the core foundation of Xingyi Technology's O2O strategic layout. If Xingyi Technology wants to grow, it cannot do without underlying map services.

Not only Xingyi Technology cannot do without the underlying map, but BAT also cannot do without it. Where can it be sold?

As for saying that O2O (online to offline or offline to online) is too low-level, don’t do O2O...

This is even more unrealistic.

The current Internet trend is O2O.

Meituan, Ele.me, Didi, Dianping, Qunar, Tongcheng, Fliggy, Lianjia, Taocai, Beike, etc. that will rise in the future are all O2O.

In this wave of golden trends, BAT is investing crazily, and Wang Yi cannot let go of O2O encirclement.

As for big data, cloud computing, AI and other hot topics, they are high-end, but they burn unlimited money in the short term and have no output.

Alibaba started working on Alibaba Cloud in 2009, investing one to two billion every year. It was not until 2015 that it began to expand rapidly. It took off completely in 2018, and it was not until 2022 that it achieved profitability for the first time!

That’s right, Alibaba spent 20 to 30 billion in thirteen years to achieve profitability!

Now that Wang Yi is starting to do cloud computing, it will cost more than 20 billion, and it will take seven or eight years to take off!

But in the past seven or eight years, Xingyi Technology has to develop and make money, so it has to rely on other businesses and O2O.

The reason why Baidu collapsed in the previous life was that All in AI was difficult to make a profit, while O2O, which was profitable, collapsed across the board.

Alibaba has been struggling for ten years and finally waited for the explosion of Alibaba Cloud cloud computing.

But the AI ​​​​water is too deep. Baidu has survived for ten years, but Baidu's AI has not ushered in a big explosion.

As a result, Baidu AI did not produce enough output, and other O2O companies were completely defeated, neither rising nor falling. The final market value was only one-tenth of Tencent and Alibaba.

Wang Yi will not make Baidu’s mistakes.

Big data, cloud computing, and AI are all long-term investments that continue to burn money, starting with 200 billion.

And O2O is the golden track at the moment, especially the food delivery and online ride-hailing tracks that are almost blank and even capital is not interested in. They are both profitable avenues and the best opportunities.

As for the group buying platform that is a red ocean, Wang Yi does not want to participate at the moment. After they are done fighting, he will collect the corpses, acquire several platforms, and integrate them into AutoNavi Group Buying.

Or invest in Meituan.

However, the current Meituan is invested by Alibaba and can be regarded as an Alibaba company. It is not easy for Wang Yi to invest.

In the Internet industry, what matters most is the division of factions.

In the previous life, Meituan had a falling out with Alibaba, and was unable to do anything with Dianping, a company owned by Tencent, so they merged, drove Alibaba away, and switched to Tencent.

This incident became a lingering thorn in Jackma’s heart. He did not hesitate to acquire Ele.me but also crazily suppressed Meituan.

Similarly, the opportunity for Wang Yi to invest in Meituan was also the falling out between Meituan and Alibaba!

If we invest now, Alibaba, as the major shareholder of Meituan, will definitely not agree.

It is better to attack the online ride-hailing and food delivery fields first, and at the same time wait and see the development of the Thousand Group War in the group buying field before making any plans.

But no matter what, it is impossible to sell the Gaode map!

This is the basis.

Qu Xin's expression changed slightly: "Director Wang, do you think you don't have enough money? The price of 45.5 billion is already one billion higher than the purchase price you paid a few days ago!"

Qu Xin felt that after making a billion in just a few days, this deal was a great deal, so why not sell it?

Or are you hostile to Baidu and want to use Amap to continue to work for Baidu?

Wang Yi waved his hand: "It's not about money, it's just that I don't plan to sell it."

Qu Xin was silent for a while and then spoke again: "Dr. Wang, 50.5 billion, premium 15 billion, Baidu acquires Amap!"

"The premium is 15.5 billion..." Wang Yi laughed dumbly, and couldn't help but wonder, is Baidu's brain enlightened?

Realize the strategic significance of the underlying map data? So you have to win Amap with a premium of 15 billion?

In fact, Li Yan has a high IQ and strong skills, but he is too arrogant and his abilities are average.

Technology does not equal ability!

To put it bluntly, Li Yan is a technical player, but when it comes to managing a company, talking about business wars, talking about vision, and talking about layout, then he has a hard time.

For example, no one is optimistic about cloud computing at the moment, only Wang Jian is optimistic about it.

Jack Ma also doesn’t understand cloud computing, but he was persuaded to invest one billion a year in cloud computing, investing for 10 years first, and continuing to invest if it fails in ten years!

Tencent Chairman Ma believes that cloud computing has a future, but it is too advanced.

But Li Yan said, "Cloud computing is just old wine in new bottles, there is nothing new."

That's right, Li Yan directly rejected cloud computing!

The result can be imagined. A few years later, Li Yan was dumbfounded when he saw Alibaba Cloud Feitian becoming bigger and stronger and easily solving the 12306 Spring Festival transportation problem.

He decisively admitted his mistake and changed his words, saying "Cloud computing is new wine in a new bottle..."

In terms of technology, Jack Ma is not as good as Li Yan, but Jack Ma is not arbitrary and can listen to advice.

For what you don’t understand, you are willing to learn more about it and invest heavily.

But Li Yan is different. What he doesn't like is garbage, without anything new...

So, ten years later, Tencent and Alibaba have grown tenfold and developed rapidly. Baidu missed opportunities one after another and went downhill rapidly...

But now Baidu wants to acquire Amap for a premium of 15 billion. Is it really enlightening? See the strategic significance of the underlying map data?

Seeing that Wang Yi didn't refute, Qu Xin was happy, this was a joke.
