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

Chapter 437 Chen Mo Enters the Palace
For a company as huge as Tencent, investing in a start-up unicorn like Didi is like investing in its younger brother.

There is no need for Brother Ma to take action personally. Generally, an investment director can handle this kind of thing.

But today is different from the past. We cannot afford to make any mistakes this time. If we are slow in one step, who knows if Baidu will get there first and snatch our love away.

During the two sessions, Pony Ma sent people to contact Cheng Wei in the Shanghai Stock Exchange in advance to show goodwill and stabilize the other party. At the same time, he also inquired whether there were other companies and capitals coveting Didi. Fortunately, there were no other blind people.

Therefore, as soon as the meeting ended, Xiao Ma flew straight to Shanghai.
Li Yanhong did not take his own car, but took a special car back home. The car was called Yidao Special Car.
In mid-March,
Some media reported that after Alibaba invested in Kuaidi Dache, Tencent was secretly in contact with Didi Dache.
Just one day later, Tencent officially announced that Didi Dache had accepted its Series A financing, with the scale of funds reaching 1 million US dollars, which was 1500 million more than Alibaba's investment in Kuaidi Dache some time ago.

Moreover, a founding team that came from Alibaba did not seek financing from Alibaba but accepted investment from Tencent. This contrast attracted some media reports.

Following Alibaba and Tencent, the last one, Baidu, is not willing to lag behind and has made its own voice heard.

A few days later, Baidu announced that its subsidiary Nuomituan had launched a new food delivery business, officially entering the domestic food delivery market. It also announced the completion of its Series B financing for Yidao, the pioneer of the domestic taxi industry, with Baidu leading the investment and Qualcomm and Broadband Capital following suit, with a financing amount of US$3000 million.

If we say that the protagonist of the whole February belongs to the other side, it was the spring online event that competed hard with BAT, won the first battle and became the uncrowned king, and it was also the opening of Ivy League College, with unparalleled momentum.

The protagonists of March are undoubtedly the Internet giants BAT. Although there was a small episode regarding photo time, it was generally harmless.

From the perspective of the overall corporate layout, BAT has made frequent moves this month, either investing or acquiring, with the amounts ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars.

Coincidentally, all of them focused on the two tracks of taxi-hailing and food delivery.

This situation made some experienced media in the industry discover that Bi'an had also been deeply involved in these two tracks before, combined with the various grievances between them in the past.

There must be a reason for this situation!
They could clearly feel the atmosphere of impending storm.
Even if we take a step back and say that there is no other shore, there are countless precedents of love and hate between BAT alone.

The intuition of these media people is very sharp. The group buying war has finally come to an end, with BAT dividing the world into three parts and having the last laugh, while the rest are cannon fodder.

According to the rule that the world will eventually unify after a long period of division, fierce competition is likely to break out in the taxi and food delivery sectors.

We have to fight, it’s just a question of when.

The media makes their living by generating traffic. No matter whether it is true or false, as long as the atmosphere is set and the rhythm is followed, even non-existent things will become real.

Just like the Xiaomi and Gree CP incident some time ago, does it matter whether it is true or not? What matters most is that the majority of netizens believe it.

Many media reporters flocked to Shanghai, Hangzhou, Beijing and other places like fish out of water, trying to obtain first-hand information on companies such as Nuomi, Meituan, Ele.me, Kuaidi, and Dadi.

As the reporters diligently conducted in-depth investigations and interviews, the relevant personnel of these companies also cooperated very well. After all, they could expose their own companies to the general consumers through the media, which was also a kind of free promotion.

Many more detailed information began to be unearthed, including but not limited to the background of each company's entrepreneurial team, current scale, development plans, etc.

Although all parties are still in the planning stage, the media with sharp noses have begun to analyze each company in various dimensions, and even conduct a concrete comparison of their strengths based on the current implementation situation.
With these thoughts in mind, some media took stock of several investment institutions currently on the market, and took a deep breath when looking at the list.

First, the taxi sector:

For example, Cheng Wei, the founding team of Didi Chuxing, was a former member of Alibaba Iron Army and was the youngest sales manager;
The founding team of Kuaidi was formed from former Tudou executives who left after the merger of Tudou and Youku;

Zhou Hang, the founder of Yidao Car Rental, is even more remarkable. He used to be an audio manufacturer, and accidentally provided services to the Olympic Committee, the National Grand Theater, the Great Hall of the People, Zhongnanhai, etc.

On the other hand, Wang Weijian, the founder of Dadi Chuxing, switched from a traditional industry to a local boss.
After analyzing taxi-hailing, we analyzed food delivery. Just like the game data, we made various comparisons based on the background of the founding team, the strength of the financial backers behind them, the current scale of influence, etc.

Eventually, the media came to a unanimous conclusion that as far as food delivery is concerned, Ele.me, owned by Bian, has the first-mover advantage, with a one-on-one odds of 64-. If the opponents join forces, their chances of winning are slim.

The taxi-hailing industry is characterized by clear divisions among many factions.

Beijing: Taxi Travel (Bi'an), Yidao Private Car (Baidu);
Shanghai Stock Exchange: Didi Dache (Tencent), Bumblebee Dache (Angel Round);
Hangzhou: Kuaidi Taxi (Ali)

Each company occupies a piece of territory, and the outcome is unpredictable
The media were excitedly breaking the news.

"The group buying war has just ended, and the food delivery war and taxi war may be coming."

"When the gods fight, the little devils suffer. Small businesses in the food delivery and taxi-hailing sector that are not favored by capital may become cannon fodder."

"According to insiders of Meituan, Meituan also has plans to enter the food delivery market. Can the group buying king continue to write his legend?"

"Wang Xing's nine failures and one victory in his entrepreneurial history, one victory determined everything. A detailed account of the entrepreneurial history of Meituan's founder"

"Our reporter saw that Alibaba's Jack Ma and other senior executives suddenly visited Ideal International Building, and Sina Weibo's financing may change."

While traditional media are still immersed in various reports derived from the 315 Consumer Gala.

Internet media practitioners have begun to be overwhelmed by the frequent actions of these big companies and bosses, and feel overwhelmed and overwhelmed.

But what puzzled these media was that while BAT was having so much fun, the other side suddenly became silent and no one knew what it was doing.

It seems that he disappeared after attending the two sessions. Chen Mo is extremely low-key, which is not in line with his style at all.
Where is Chen Mo?
It was a sunny morning in late March.

At the gate of the administrative agency with the same name as Jingyan, a black Mercedes-Benz S-Class commercial vehicle slowly drove in.

A senior reporter from the Beijing News happened to see this scene from a distance. He not only recognized this car, but also knew that this was Chen Mo's exclusive car.

What is going on? How can an entrepreneur from a private enterprise enter here? Interview? Rectification? Or is it a leap forward?
Countless possibilities swirled in his mind, but either way, this was big news.

Then he made a phone call, skipped work, and temporarily put his original interview plan on hold. He just wandered around the periphery, wanting to see when the other party would come out so that he could take a few photos to increase the authenticity.

Unexpectedly, he waited for three days.

Fortunately, he did not give up. His hard work paid off. He adjusted the focus and finally captured the target vehicle driving out again.

He kept taking pictures, and the next moment he was arrested by two plainclothes officers. It turned out that his sneaky movements over the past two days had been noticed by the security officers nearby, and the mantis stalked the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

The reporter then quickly took out his press card and explained the reason. The two comrades then checked the photos in the camera, deleted them, and decided to let him go.

The reporter didn't even go home, but went straight to the newspaper office. He excitedly wrote an article and was then called in by the editor-in-chief on the spot.

The editor-in-chief paced back and forth in the room, annoyed, "You are an old man too, don't you know what to write and what not to write?"

"That's not bad, wealth and honor come in danger!"

"How can you be sure that it's Chen Mo inside and not someone else?"

"Who else could ride in that car except Chen Mo? No one else is qualified."

"Look at what you wrote. Anyway, I agree to publish it, unless I quit. You better be quiet. I have three years left before I retire. It's not easy to work at this age. Please don't let me lose my reputation in my later years!"

"Uh, boss, it's not that serious. I just deduced the possible consequences based on the current situation. Speculation is fact. You taught me that."

"Then look at who you guessed the two parties to be? I won't talk about that side!" The editor pointed in a direction and continued,
"Do you just say that Chen Mo is a good person to get along with? Has he forgotten the pain after the wound healed, and has he forgotten what happened in the past? Is he a human being? He is just like a stray dog ​​on the side of the road. If you are targeted by him, you can't leave without getting a piece of your flesh bitten off.

This manuscript is like a bomb. If we are not careful, it will blow us up."

"But..." "No buts, I'll keep the manuscript for now. You've been working hard during this period, so take a rest for two days. Your salary will be paid as usual. Come back to work after you've rested!"

"Uh, hey, okay!"

After the reporter left, the editor put the manuscript at the bottom of his desk drawer.

Indeed, his heart was pounding after reading this article. Bi'an is a star company in the Internet circle, and Chen Mo is one of the hottest topics, and everyone wants to report on him.

But there are some things that cannot be touched upon. It’s not that he doesn’t want to post them, but he just doesn’t dare to post them. After all, he is still sensitive to his genitals.

This time, Chen Mo's proposal may not be known to the general public, but it is not difficult for them in the industry to know.

In Chen Mo's eyes, these three proposals were like three cards in Landlord, a king and two threes. Who knows whether the final outcome would be that all the cards would be played or all the cards would be kept in his hand.

Especially the two or three, you are taking the lead in doing something that the country has not solved? You are proposing something that the country has not promoted?
Although everyone knows that the other side is following its own unique model, no one knows how far it can go.

Not only does he want to walk his own path, he also wants everyone to follow the same path as him. Is that possible? The tremendous power of capital cannot be driven by a single representative's proposal.

If it weren't for the effect of Chen Mo's "King", it is estimated that Bi'an would face the rhythm of being summoned for talks and rectification. Maybe this time is the case, but he dare not gamble.

As for the other party, they had no intention of resisting at all, but they dared not gossip or even guess. If they guessed right, there would be no prize, but if they guessed wrong, they would be seeking death.

If you choose to take sides before things are settled and you make the wrong choice, resigning is the only thing you can do, but the entire newspaper will be at the center of the storm.

Some things are better left undone than to make mistakes. Keeping oneself safe is the long-term solution.
In fact, the reporter was right at the time. The person in the car was indeed Chen Mo.

Although the two sessions have ended, the subsequent proposals put forward by these delegations are a very complicated and large systematic task. After screening and sorting by the think tank, they will be submitted to the presidium for deliberation and finally voted on to form a resolution, which will appear in the subsequent government work report, that is, the XX development plan.
Some of the highlights of Chen Mo's "Internet+" proposal were published in internal reference, causing considerable internal impact.

The reason why he was summoned was to answer some questions and opinions about his "Internet Plus" proposal and discuss them with the bigwigs of the national think tank.

Every old man here is a leader in his field in China, including deans of top universities, senior professors, and academicians of the Academy of Engineering (not the soy sauce type).
These people have a unified name externally: counselors.

This gave Chen Mo the illusion that he was facing the ultimate plus version of his own Tianji Pavilion.

In fact, these people had already discussed this proposal once before Chen Mo came. First, Internet+ is a new concept. Second, the proposal, whether it is past examples and case support or the description of the future blueprint, is very detailed and seems like a real thing.

These scholars, experts, professors and academicians felt that what they learned from books was not enough, so they caught the initiator of this proposal and questioned him face to face.

At first they just wanted to hear the young man's thoughts face to face, answer a few questions and then let him go, which would take at most a morning.

But as the two sides continued to communicate and discuss, they gradually discovered that something was wrong. This young man was not simple. Not only did he speak meaningfully, but he also had a rigorous logic and answered questions fluently.
Perhaps in other fields these old men would crush these young people, but in the Internet field, everyone and Chen Mo are like peers, expressing different opinions on the same thing, and the more they talk, the more they get along.

Moreover, everyone felt that this young man had a special kind of magic, that is, everything he said and thought was as if he had seen it with his own eyes, which was really incredible.

They didn't want to believe it emotionally, but they rationally felt that this plan was indeed in line with the future trend and development of China's Internet. From the feasibility to the practical implementation, they couldn't find any loopholes, so they had to believe it.
This feeling makes these old people feel very twisted.
If this young man wasn't inexperienced and not interested in this, they would all want to keep this guy. Everyone has their own expertise and they won't judge people based on their age.

Just like that, Chen Mo originally thought that it would be over in just one day, but he was dragged by those old guys to chat day after day.

It was not until the third day of the discussion that Chen Mo finally outlasted those old men and was almost drained of his energy before he was finally told he could leave.

Chen Mo's trip was not in vain. Before leaving, he found these old comrades and exchanged contact information with them.

Perhaps Chen Mo was too absorbed in the discussion just now. At this moment, Chen Mo suddenly realized that the senior leader who had listened to his report before was sitting in the back corner. He must be interested in this topic. After all, Internet+ will play a positive role in promoting the overall economy, and the other party is in charge of the economy.
He didn't dare to think that the other party was waiting for him, he was not so bold as to do that.

Should he run away or step forward to pay his respects? Just when Chen Mo was struggling with his conscience, he saw the big boss waving at him. Well, it was really him he was looking for.

Chen Mo immediately trotted a few steps and walked up to him. Actually, he had two unresolved questions in his mind, and he wanted to find the big boss to sound him out.

"I just listened to you for a while, it's very good. There is a matter that happens to be a railway ticket website. In the past two years, there have been problems during the Spring Festival and golden holidays. Your cloud computing is good. This website needs technical support from the other side, which can also become an example of Internet+.
So I want to ask what you mean.”

Chen Mo was startled when he heard this. This was a task for him. He thought about it over and over again.
Doesn't 12306 have its own technology company? No need? Or is there something going on inside that they don't know about? But he knows all too well how intricate the project is? An amateur guiding an expert? Everyone gets involved and who listens in the end?
Obviously, now is not the time to think about these issues, and the leader certainly does not want to listen to all his complaints. In a flash, Chen Mo grasped the key points and stood at attention, almost saluting. Without saying anything else, he directly accepted the order: "Bi'an will ensure that the task is completed."

"Well, someone will contact you when the time comes."

The leader smiled at Chen Mo's statement. Noticing Chen Mo's hesitation, he took the initiative to ask, "Do you have any other questions?"

"Well, leader, I submitted three proposals, and I don't know about the other two."

The leader raised his hand slightly to stop Chen Mo from talking. "I have read your aerospace proposal. The idea is good, but this is a big deal and there are many things to consider. Otherwise, it is easy to do something bad with good intentions. In addition.
The overall economic situation is now stable and improving, so a company can give it a try. But it should be done step by step, and not too hastily. Pay special attention to this. I have a meeting, and the other side is good, and you are good too! "

After saying that, the leader patted Chen Mo on the shoulder and walked away.

Chen Mo stood there, not knowing if it was his illusion, but he felt the elder's pat on his shoulder was exceptionally strong.

When leaving, Chen Mo was a little absent-minded. Even on the way back to the company's headquarters, he was still trying to figure out the deeper meaning of his leader's words.

In fact, before coming here, Tianji Pavilion had given several speculations on Chen Mo's problem.

Aerospace: No response (90% chance), Leave it for later (10%), Adopt (0%)

Cause analysis: whether the environment and soil are available; risks and concerns about technology leakage; the role that private enterprises can play is unknown; trust cost is the key;

Solution: It requires external stimulation and joint efforts from both sides, and the introduction of state-owned capital may be somewhat feasible.

Labor Law: No response (99% chance), Leave it for later (1%), Adopt (0%)

Reasons: The best example of "the law does not punish the masses"; the bigger the scale, the more important stability is; the game between capital and the public is too risky;
Solution: Store up food, wait until you are king, and then take your time.
Inferring from the leader’s words, the suggestions given by Tianji Pavilion are still relatively reliable.

But he gained a new thing, that is, he could clearly feel that the Bi'an model was like a test field in the eyes of the people above. If it became better, the people above also wanted to see the people settle down and work happily and the enterprises continue to develop well.

Even if it doesn't work, at least it can benefit one side and won't have too much impact.

Chen Mo could hear the leader's subtext. There was nothing wrong with Bi'an's own development, but he should not be too radical in trying to break the circle. Otherwise, if he acted too hastily, it would cause some unnecessary problems. The best way to solve the problem was to solve the "person" who raised the problem.
Otherwise, there is no reason why Pang Donglai can’t even get out of Henan.

If you dare to come out and ruin everyone’s jobs, I’ll beat you to death!

Even so, if something goes a little out of line or some minor mistakes occur, the media's consistent reporting direction will prove this point.

This is also the reason why the other side has become the public enemy of the Internet.

There was no problem with how things were done internally at the other side before, but since the establishment of Qingteng Academy as a catfish, the foundation of the company, to put it bluntly, still lies in talent, and this aspect has disrupted the original balance. How can it remain unaffected?
BAT wants to cooperate, maybe Ma and Li have some ideas, but without the tacit approval of the capital institutions behind them, can the three of them decide? How is it possible?
Chen Mo rubbed his aching head and closed his eyes to rest.

Now he is busy with other people's affairs and national affairs. He really lives up to the saying that one should care about everything, including family affairs and national affairs.

Next it is the turn of world affairs.

But it’s a rare opportunity to stay in the palace for two days, so how can I not make good use of it?
