Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 142 "Double Group" Auction
"Our Shunwei's success depends on this. This is a rare opportunity!"

Xu Dalai excitedly rushed straight to Lei Jun's office and waved the invitation letter in his hand at him.

Lei Jun took it and took a look at it and understood what was going on. After all, as a veteran Internet surfer, how could he miss such an important event.

"I thought we had nothing to do with it, but I didn't expect that Jiade thought highly of us."

Xu Dalai snorted, "We have 1 million US dollars in our hands. It means that you don't treat the money as money. Shunwei is still very competitive. I came to you to ask you to analyze the prospects of these two websites."

"Does this need to be analyzed? People have analyzed it over and over again online, and some people even compared the two websites to a crouching dragon and a phoenix, saying that if you get one of them, you can have the world of group buying. Even though it's a joke, it still makes some sense."

"Yeah, I think so too, so let's agree on something first. What do you think?"

"It's great to win these two projects. We can use this project as a stepping stone. If we plant a phoenix tree, we will definitely attract a golden phoenix. If we fail to win Shunwei, we can also take the opportunity to build our reputation and show our style. It's a sure win for us!"

"Come see me after get off work tonight and we'll discuss pricing strategy!"

After saying that, when Xu Dalai was about to go out, a young man was about to come in.

The two nodded to each other and passed by each other. Xu Dalai vaguely heard something like "WeChat's subsequent version planning."
In faraway Shanxi, there is a magnificent and luxurious villa that looks like a palace.

"Mom? Where's my dad?"

Wu You, who is now the boss of Wuyou Technology, is frantically looking for his father at home.

There is no other way. I have to be anxious. It’s already November 11th.

He just saw the news online that Tuanjian.com and Tuan123 were going to be sold? What a good news!

He has no interest in Tuan123. He feels that it is just a free navigation site and he has never spent any money on it, so he would not want it even if it is given to him for free.

It's a pure money-losing product. I guess it can't even make back the electricity bill for the server.

But it’s different with Tuanjian.com. I am a senior VVVIP super client and have invested millions in it in the past six months.

You should know that his Wuyoutuangou has now become a famous group buying website in Shanxi, with a revenue of at least hundreds of thousands every month.

This is all thanks to the limited skins on Tuanjian.com, which really attracted a lot of traffic, but it is really expensive.

Later, the team-building website learned bad things and released skins that were no longer one-time permanent skins, but continuous monthly subscriptions. If you don’t renew your subscription when it expires, your skins will be reverted to their original form. It’s so ugly.

After he started doing group buying, he realized how hot the group buying market is. He thought that Wuyou Group Buying would become a big hit once it went online, but the reality was cruel, as it didn't even make it into a single province.

He worked hard for half a year and only made a few hundred thousand a month. Look at others who just released a skin and earned more than him.

Moreover, the entire group buying market is becoming increasingly hot, with several group buying websites appearing every day.

He asked the technical staff to do a rough statistics and found that at least nearly a quarter of all group buying websites are built using Tuanjian.com.

What is this concept? From the previous Hundred Regiments Campaign and Thousand Regiments Campaign to the current Thousand Regiments Campaign, it is a bit inaccurate. There were media reports last month that the total number of group buying websites has exceeded 3,000.

What a concept! Wu You roughly calculated it on the computer and knew that at least since the launch of Tuanjian.com, its revenue would exceed 100 million yuan.

Seeing countless group buying websites, big and small, buying skins from Tuanjian.com, he was envious and jealous, it was all about money.

If I buy the team building website myself, how much will it cost every month?
You don't have to deal with so many things every day, and work so hard to earn a few hundred thousand yuan. Wouldn't it be nice to just sit at home and count your money?

Don't be a player, be a banker! This is what his father often said.

This is also the reason why he rushed home in a hurry. In the past, he would not bring anything back even once a month.

When he found his old master, he gave a clear and impassioned speech, focusing his attacks in an attempt to get his old master's gold coins.

As a first-generation rich man, Wu Lu certainly did not blindly believe his son's one-sided words, even though Wuyou Group Buying had done a good job in the past few months and achieved certain results.

In the evening he made several phone calls to some friends and asked about the details.

A day later, Wu You successfully defeated the BOSS Lao Deng, and unexpectedly got 100 million gold coins to use for purchasing on the team-building network.

Of course, he doesn't think Tuanjian.com will spend 100 million yuan, but he estimates that it will be tens of millions. But now that he has 100 million yuan, it's up to him to decide how to spend it.
He then directly handed over the Wuyou Group Buying business to the professional manager he had recruited previously.

A few days later, the funds arrived, Wu You packed up his belongings, and headed north with his cute secretary, heading straight for the team-building website!

In the past few days, after some operations by China Guardian, there are currently several categories participating in the auction.

The first type of investment institutions include but are not limited to the strong Sequoia Capital, GSR Ventures, Hillhouse Capital, and Tomorrow Fund.
The next-tier Morningside Venture Capital and Qiming Venture Partners, and even Shunwei Capital, which had just been established and evaluated as having the strength to participate, were also invited by CapitaLand.

There are also some powerful retail investors, that is, individual representatives who have reached the entry threshold after capital verification. How high is the capital verification threshold? It starts at 100 million! The second category is some big-name companies, such as Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba and other Internet giants with their own investment businesses, and Wanda and Softbank, which are not Internet companies but have entered the Internet.
The third category is reporters from various media outlets, including the four major online portals and offline established Internet newspapers and magazines. There are also some media outlets that were not invited but called us when they smelled the atmosphere and would rather not spend any travel expenses to attend.

In the spirit of seeking exposure and fame, Poly Auction simply accepted all media reporters.

However, the banquet hall originally booked at the Beijing Hotel that could accommodate a hundred people might not be large enough.

I quickly used my connections to change the reservation to the multi-functional hall of the International Convention and Exhibition Center on the north side of the hotel's main building, which can accommodate a thousand people.

As time goes by bit by bit.
Countless contestants have already prepared their ammunition and are gearing up for the China Guardian auction day on the 18th.

Thursday, March 11th.

China Guardian’s “Double Group Combined” large-scale auction will officially begin at 14: p.m.

The Capital Hotel International Convention and Exhibition Center was crowded with people.

The relevant hotel staff are cooperating with Guardian to arrange the venue intensively. Flower baskets, red carpets, autograph boards are all available, and the event is being held completely in accordance with the scale of the ceremony.

There have been many security personnel around the venue since morning, wearing black suits and white gloves, standing guard every ten steps to maintain order.

Because many media and reporters had arrived at the scene early in the morning, trying to get first-hand information.

Even Sina Weibo kept up with current affairs and opened a special topic column to broadcast the auction with pictures and texts. After all, in the past, auctions were only for antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but never for the sale of websites. This was something that the majority of netizens had never seen before and it was quite novel.

Of course, the vast majority of people just wanted to watch the fun and complained on Weibo.
"Can websites be auctioned these days? My nephew also makes websites. Let me ask him to make one tomorrow and send it to China Guardian for auction."

"Come on, the above person is the No.1 group buying navigation website, how can they be the same!"

"I think it would be great if it could sell for a few million at best."

"Millions? Do you look down on Guardian or the guest lineup? Look at the photo you just posted. The people at the door are so busy that they would blind a dog's eyes without sunglasses."

"Have you seen the list of guests participating in the auction? Just pick any big shot and he can make those so-called stars of Weibo Night kneel down and call him daddy."

"Uh, isn't there still Prince Wanda who has to call me brother?"

"It's different. It depends on the location. Sometimes you can call me dad."

"Oh my god, I just saw it after you mentioned it. Is it considered the same photo of two Ma and one Li? Guardian is awesome~"

“Is it possible that these two websites are awesome?”

"Hey, do you think it will fail in the end?"

"Not really. Jiade will finish this drama even if he has to sacrifice everything he has to do."

"You guys are really eating soy milk and fried dough sticks while worrying about world peace. The evaluations are all professional, how can you turn the tables?"

"I heard that the auction process will be live-streamed on Youku this afternoon. We can just watch it then. Why bother making a fuss now?"

Netizens had already heated up the atmosphere before the auction even started.

Near noon, Lei Jun, who was working in the company, received a call from Xu Dalai, asking him to come over for a gathering.

Lei Jun walked out of the office and thought of the promise he made at the previous Internet conference. This kind of scene was rare, so he decided to take the kid with him to see the world.

When I got closer, I saw that Chen Mo's workstation was empty. After asking Huang Jiangji, I found out that Chen Mo had asked for leave today because of family matters. Another person named Sun Ziwei also asked for leave.

Sun Ziwei? Lei Jun had an impression of that big guy who lived with Chen Mo and looked a bit honest.

It's not surprising that Chen Mo asked for leave, but it is strange that these two asked for leave together. I guess they have some big things going on at home.

Lei Jun showed a bit of regret on his face. It seems that this kid is not destined to succeed. Never mind. Time waits for no one. Let's wait for another opportunity later.

But he also knew in his heart that opportunities like this, except for official events like the Internet Conference, might not come together privately for several years.

He heard that half of the financial and Internet circles were alarmed, and he was so excited that he wanted to attend the event even without an invitation.

Lei Jun shook his head, went downstairs and drove to the Jingcheng Hotel.
As the time approached 14 p.m., the red carpet ceremony before the auction began.

Afterwards, when the people participating in the auction began to enter the venue one by one, I don’t know if it was a deliberate arrangement by China Guardian, but the first to arrive was one of the parties involved in the 3Q War, Tencent’s Pony Ma, who attended with his second-in-command Liu Chih-ping and made a brilliant appearance.

Instantly, there was a commotion among the media reporters, and the next moment, flash lights lit up, making the afternoon sun seem a little dim for a moment.
