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

Chapter 302: Digging a pit for someone to jump into, it doesn’t matter who it is

"No. 33 Ali. 23 billion!"

Baidu's Li Ge frowned and held the phone a little further away. After the other party finished talking, he hung up the phone and sighed secretly, "Women are women. You think you are buying a bag? This is not the way to show off."
He then put the sign aside and withdrew from the competition.

"No. 66, Tencent. 24 billion. First time. No."

"No. 91 Beyond Technology, 29 billion!"

2 billion! 20 million! 29 million!
Judging from the offer price, everyone was shocked by the other side’s determination to win the deal.

Zhou Shouzi once again became the focus of everyone's attention. The flash lights almost blinded everyone's eyes. If the flash lights were replaced by applause, it would be deafening.

Everyone looked at Chen Mo who was chatting and laughing with Lei Jun, then looked at Zhou Shouzi who was stealing the limelight but remained calm, and then looked at the BAT companies which were in complete silence. They felt very excited in their hearts, as this drama was rare.

Although these billions cannot shake its foundation, in terms of momentum, they have given those media some unrealistic illusions, feeling that the Internet is about to change.

But think about it, last year Bian Technology was the biggest beneficiary, and only they know how much they earned. If the profit was not big, would they have invested so much?
Nearly 30 billion, 10 times the market price!
In fact, this kind of thing is just like a novel author marketing his own book. As long as the book is not too bad and he tastes the sweetness in the first month, no matter how fierce the competition is in the second month, he must get it first. After all, only those who have experienced it know how much profit there is. It may seem like a loss in the short term, but it is a profit in the long run.

Chen Mo dared to do this, there must be potential benefits behind it that they are not aware of, unless he is crazy.

How could an Internet company that has leapt to the second-tier and challenged the first-tier in just two years be crazy?
Bi'an's price hike has deceived all its competitors and the media. Aren't all the companies headed by young Internet people so arrogant nowadays?

I'm throwing a bomb. The veins on Xiao Ma Ge's hand holding the cards were bulging. Emotionally, he really wanted to shout out 50 billion to put an end to this guy's arrogance, but reason told him not to brag.

This time, the board of directors approved the maximum limit of funds he could use to be 30 billion.

Just when Xiao Ma Ge was hesitating whether to go all-in.
Lao Ma stood up directly. He was much taller and more expensive than Chen Mo.
“Ali 30 billion!”

Unexpectedly, there was another expert, and the field was bright as day again.

The auctioneer on the stage shouted hoarsely, "No. 33, Ali, 30 billion, first time."

The masseter muscles on both sides of Xiao Ma's cheeks moved twice, and finally he slowly put down the sign in his hand.

“No. 33, Ali 30 billion, the second time.”

Although the auctioneer's voice was hoarse, his expression was extremely excited. This was the biggest job he had ever taken on in his life and it was truly the highlight of his life.

He looked in the direction of Bi'an Technology with great anticipation.
Zhou Shouzi hit his thigh hard with his hand, let out a "hi" sound, and his face showed a look of regret for accidentally entering a small world and missing out on a rare opportunity.

The auctioneer understood the other party's actions and realized that the other party had withdrawn from the competition. He raised his hammer and slammed it down without hesitation. "No. 33, Alibaba, 30 billion. The third time. Deal! Congratulations to Alibaba Group for winning the Bara Bara of the Year."

Accompanied by applause from the audience and the sound of camera shutters clicking.
Zhou Shouzifang exhaled slowly, and when he leaned back in his chair, he felt something cold. It turned out that the back of his shirt had been soaked with sweat without him noticing. This showed that he was extremely nervous just now.

After the performance, Zhou Shouzi suppressed his excitement and secretly asked his boss, "Boss, how was my performance just now?"

“Except for the slightly exaggerated expression and movement at the end, everything else is good.”

"Well, this is because we have no experience. But aren't you afraid that the big and small horses won't bid and we'll lose money?"

Chen Mo snorted, "It's only 30 billion. Even if we really get it, it's not useless. But I didn't expect that it was Old Ma who did it in the end. I originally thought it was Little Ma, but it's the same."

In the end, Alibaba spent 30 billion yuan to become the exclusive Internet partner of the 2013 Spring Festival Gala.

CCTV also felt that the price of 30 billion was indeed too outrageous. In order to avoid giving customers the impression that they were taking advantage of the situation and to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent investment promotion, several leaders on the stage held emergency consultations and decided to increase the price.

In addition to the exclusive naming rights, midnight time announcement, interactive cooperation and the original gift of prime advertising space before the evening party, an additional exclusive sponsorship spot for the Avenue of Stars was given.

This made Lao Ma feel better despite the pain. At least Star Boulevard is not a one-off Spring Festival Gala, but an ongoing program. It is suitable for all ages and is very compatible with Taobao's user base. From losing money to losing money to losing money to losing money, it is at least much better.

The dust has settled. Except for Lao Ma who still has to sign contracts and have interviews, some other friendly competitors are just supporting roles. They answered a few questions from media reporters in a perfunctory manner and left one after another.

Brother Xiao Ma sat in his seat and thought about it. After all, he chose the lesser of two evils. As long as it was not the other side, it was not unacceptable. He felt a little happy in his heart. Chen Mo, you have come to this day.
Before leaving, he looked towards Chen Mo, but was surprised to find that Chen Mo was smiling and talking happily with Li Yanhong. No one expected that CCTV would suddenly increase the stakes. I guess this kid must be regretting it now, but he is still pretending to be reserved and can't show it. He is so black-bellied at such a young age, which shows his hypocritical side.

Humph, just pretend, go ahead and Xiao Ma Ge walked away.

As for Chen Mo, Li Yanhong came over to ask him to come to Baidu when he has time to chat about WeChat and search, and the other side mobile assistant, to see if there is any possibility of cooperation in the future~
Chen Mo readily agreed, thought about his upcoming schedule, and made an appointment around the middle of next month.

The last time the two met was at an auction on the other side. WeChat didn’t exist at that time. This time, they didn’t miss the opportunity and added each other on WeChat.

Chen Mo made a note on his WeChat: Baidu Lao Li.

The two returned to the company.

Chen Mo said, "The Other Shore PC game will be released on the 1st of next month, and I still have to go to YY. Regarding AB Station, is there any problem with you leading the team to discuss it yourself?"

"no problem!"

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. My request is just eight words: accept everything you can, and if you're not sure, just give it to me! If there's anything you're unsure about, feel free to call me, go ahead!"

"Okay, wait for my good news!"

Zhou Shouzi took the order and left, full of confidence and energy.

He understood that his boss's decision to take him to acquire Ele.me was just a demonstration.

The next AB Station acquisition is the first test for me when I reach the other side. The previous analysis report is just a warm-up at best.

Since Zhou Shouzi came to the other side, what he saw and heard along the way with Chen Mo was very new. He found that the Internet was indeed different from the financial circle.

From the previous investment analysis reports, the acquisition of Ele.me two days ago, including today's encounter with industry giants such as China Internet, and the glory of raising the placard, these are all experiences that he had not been able to have when he worked in an investment company before.

If his previous experience made him more like a staff member, now he feels like he is leading the troops to fight in person. Compared with the former, he would rather be a general who fights in all directions.

This further strengthened his determination to follow Chen Mo. For some reason, he had a feeling that he would see more beautiful scenery.
After returning to his office, Zhou Shouzi did not pack his bags and set off again immediately.

After all, according to the information I got from my boss, this matter is important but not urgent, so I need to plan before I act.

Similar to the police office in a suspense drama, a whiteboard on one side of Zhou Shouzi's office is covered with various materials and information about AB Station and stakeholders, all of which he had sorted out before.

"A station is the full name of AcFun Danmu Video Network, which was founded in 2007 by Wei Jun and headquartered in Guangzhou Danmu Technology Co., Ltd. It was later sold to Chen Shaojie, general manager of Bianfeng Network Wuhan Branch, for 2010 million in 400. The current data is.
Bilibili is the full name of Bilibili, and its original name was "mikufans". It was originally a backup for Station A, but later became independent and competed with Station A. The founder, Xu Yi, was a senior fan of Station A and was a pure two-dimensional fan. Currently, Bilibili has an angel round, and the investor is an individual named Chen Rui.
Chen Rui joined Kingsoft after graduating from university, and later became the general manager of Kingsoft Antivirus Business Unit. Later, his business was acquired by Kingsoft.

The entire whiteboard was filled with investment analysis, financing history, and various information about related parties, which was densely connected by arrows, showing how thorough the work Zhou Shouzi had done before.

But when he thought about his boss's requirements, Zhou Shouzi felt that this was not enough.

Look at the key people on the whiteboard: Chen Rui, Chen Shaojie, and Xu Yi.

The first two are easy, but for the last one... Zhou Shouzi thought about it, added a second dimension behind Xu Yi, and marked it with an asterisk.

Before, as a professional investor, when he wanted to invest in a company, he would consider the issue from the other party's perspective, because investment itself is a win-win situation. Of course, this excludes those dirty situations such as making money and cashing out.

Investment institutions spend money to buy future returns from companies, and companies use the money to build a road to the future.

For example, JD.com and Xiaomi will use the funds to build their own logistics, while Xiaomi will use the funds for product development and capacity expansion.
He is the bridge between the two. By investing in JD.com, he will get to know Liu Qiangdong, learn about JD.com's e-commerce model, and understand the logistics system built by the other party.
By investing in Xiaomi, he will learn about Lei Jun and Chen Mo’s past resumes, personalities, management styles, Xiaomi’s development path, core competitiveness, mobile phone business, etc.

At least when negotiating, he can understand the other party's basic professional terms and general business logic.

After the acquisition by Ele.me, I saw the boss's plan for Ele.me. In addition to the other party's interests, there was also a plan for the development of the website. Just like Chen Mo's previous plan for Ele.me, he took one step and looked three steps ahead, like a master of Yilin.

He saw a higher goal and set higher standards for himself.
