Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

To put it bluntly, Wang Yi did not invest in Meituan, but in Wang Xing!

It is not easy for those who can fight their way through thousands of group buying platforms and have the last laugh.

The business competition in the future will not be about fighting alone, but fighting between factions!

In the previous life, the four major factions of BAT + Byte were the main ones, and other major Internet giants have attached themselves to the four parties.

Likewise, Wang Yi also had to create his own faction.

Amap, Sogou, Ele.me, and Noon Sunshine are all strategic targets selected by Wang Yi. They will be acquired and become subsidiaries of Xingyi Technology.

BYD, Goertek, and Xinli Media are Wang Yi’s chosen allies and strategic investments.

Of course, different allies have different strategic meanings and different investment intensity.

A high-quality ally like BYD is strategically important and can be invested in for the long term.

With an industry chain ally like Goertek, both sides can benefit from cooperation and can invest appropriately.

As for Xinli Media, it is purely for the purpose of acquiring copyright and is a pure profit investment.

Coupled with the powerful functions of the two leading versions of WeChat and the function of searching for group purchases, it has also attracted a large number of users.

Seeing that the big brother behind the opponent continues to invest more, there is plenty of ammunition.

After all, the current number of WeChat users is only over 7500 million.

They are all ordinary customers, and they can chat freely without taking any particular direction. It all depends on money and traffic, and a bowl of water is the same.

"Does Mr. Wang have any plans to invest in a group buying platform?" Wang Xing asked tentatively.

The ultimate rival is missing again.

Wang Xing breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if Wang Yi didn't end up personally and only acted as a platform.

The current group buying platforms are too brutal. The platforms supported by small capital are dead, and the remaining ones are platforms supported by big capital.

In addition, Changchao was hit hard and stole a large number of users. During this period, the number of WeChat users not only did not increase, but actually decreased!

For this reason, those who own cars cannot refuse and will use Changchat.

This is what Wang Xing is most worried about.

Because of this matter, Zhang Long was often pointed at and scolded by Brother Ma!

It’s not just Baidu that’s having a bad year this year, but also Goose Factory’s WeChat department.

Especially in "Happy Xiaoxiaole", friends interact, send energy to each other, and fight monsters together, all relying on Changchat, which naturally adds many users to Changchat.

Therefore, from the launch to the present, the number of Changchao users has exceeded 40 million, and it is still increasing rapidly. It is not far away from the 50 million mark.

Traffic fission!

Not only will this kind of investment not be added, on the contrary, it can all be sold at any time as long as the price is right.

If this momentum continues, it will only be a matter of time before it surpasses WeChat, and it will be very soon.

But Alibaba, the man behind Meituan, has nothing to lose. Meituan is also in a precarious situation and has to find a new big brother!

Wang Yi sighed: "We talk about empowering major group buying platforms through peripheral and Sou group buying. If we invest in another group buying platform, we will be both a referee and an investor in players."

Now that Changchao is expected to replace WeChat, Wang Xing’s decision came much earlier.

It was precisely because Changchao's user growth rate was too terrifying and its future was so promising that Wang Xing made up his mind that even if he offended Ali and turned against Ali, he would go his own way and come to Wang Yi!

If Changchao had less than half the number of users and didn’t have such a good future and growth rate, Wang Xing would not have turned away from Alibaba so decisively.

After some pleasantries, Wang Xing expressed his true feelings: "Director Wang, community group buying is in full swing right now, will your company end it personally?"

What's more, the current chat is equivalent to a version at the beginning, almost grabbing all WeChat users.

Chairman Ma wanted to scold him when he saw this. Bundling Amap with cashback and adding tens of millions of users was a total lack of martial ethics!

In addition, activated Xingyi mobile phones have built-in chat, which has also added more than 700 million users.

Wang Xing frowned slightly, this was indeed a problem.

If Xingyi Technology also ends up doing group buying, coupled with Changchao’s more than 40 million users and Director Wang’s financial strength, it’s over, and the future of other platforms will be bleak.

Especially for Changchat, the number of users is growing at a terrifying rate.

The development of Meituan also requires Wang Yi’s Changchao traffic and Xingyi Video’s advertising services and financial support!

This is the basis for the cooperation between the two.

With a powerful founder like Wang Xing, Meituan’s future will be good.

But if Wang Yi invests in Meituan, it will be hard to say, and he will naturally take care of Meituan.

Wang Yi saw Wang Xing's worry and waved his hand:

"BAT will invest in the group buying platform, and even personally exit. But Xingyi Technology currently has no plans to personally exit. Our Changchao mainly provides a platform to provide traffic and users to the group buying platform by searching for group buying, surrounding tours, and surrounding food. To empower and promote consumption.”

Other games such as Meiyou, "Guard Youzi", "Happy Xiaoxiaole", etc. have also attracted a large number of users to Changchao, totaling more than 10 million.

Once they use Chat, their wives and children will follow suit and even recommend it to their relatives and friends, who will then recommend it to their relatives and friends...

In the previous life, WeChat's initial functions were weak and it took a year to break through 3.0 million users. After the release of version and online Moments and Shake, it exceeded the second million in three months!

Amap alone has brought 3000 million users to Changchao.

In the previous life, Wang Xing was completely disappointed with Ali's unremitting efforts, and felt that the traffic on WeChat was too good, so he gave Ali a knife and defected to the enemy camp.

Businessmen always weigh the pros and cons.

Even if Wang Yi doesn't care about Meituan, Lashou.com and Wowotuan will think that Wang Yi cares about Meituan.

In the current era of barren social software, as long as it is powerful and practical, there will be no shortage of users.

But Meituan is different!

Meituan, like BYD, is Wang Yi's long-term investment target.

After all, if you use Changchao for one month, your 200 yuan membership fee will be fully refunded, and you can enjoy free navigation forever.

Now Meituan, like Dianping, Lashou, and Wowo Tuan, all have to spend money to buy bidding rankings, services, and promotions from Changchao.

By then, Changchao's revenue will inevitably be affected, and revenue will decline.

Once you invest in Meituan, it is equivalent to giving up part of the income from other group purchases for Meituan.

Is Board Chairman Wang willing to suffer such a loss? Wang Xing was very curious.

After all, the current Meituan is just one of many platforms, and it is not the group buying overlord in the previous life whose market value exceeded Baidu!

Wang Yi saw Wang Xing's thoughts and changed the topic: "Of course, if it is a more promising platform and has a suitable price, I will also consider it."

Wang Yi made two points clear.

First, a promising platform.

Second, the price must be appropriate.

Once you invest in Meituan, you will lose so much. Can Meituan give you more shares?

Is this possible?

You know, investment is not just an investment of money, but also an investment of resources, traffic, and services.

For example, the traffic entrance of Changchao and the advertising services of Meiyou and Xingyi Video are all traffic and money.

Meituan can either buy these resources with money or exchange them for shares.
