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

Chapter 530: Secret War: Ali vs. the Other Shore (1)

"Mr. Chen, why are you suddenly drinking watermelon juice?" Zhang Lei from Hillhouse asked curiously. Since he had met Chen Mo several times before, the two were not strangers.

Chen Mo shook the cup in his hand, watching the red liquid flowing in the cup, and smiled slightly: "Isn't watermelon juice good? It can relieve heat, beautify, and resist aging. Most importantly, it tastes good."

"If Mr. Chen says it's good, then it must be really good! From now on, I will also drink watermelon juice instead." Xu Xin of Today Capital agreed with a smile.

"Sister Xin, you are so young, you don't need that at all." Chen Mo said casually, then raised his glass to gesture. Thinking about the hot search on Meituan just now, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he was obviously in a very good mood.

"I'll drink this glass. Everyone please feel free to do as you please. Really. I don't like forcing people to drink. Please don't force it. Drink as much as you can." At the end, in order to make it more convincing, Chen Mo even emphasized his tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the private room changed subtly. The investors present were all shrewd people. They all noticed the mysterious smile on Chen Mo's face and immediately misunderstood it as a signal of some kind of "pledge of surrender".

Tonight's dinner party, on the surface, is just for casual chatting, but in fact, there are undercurrents.

These investors, who hold tens of billions of dollars in funds, are all here for the next round of financing for Ele.me and Didi Chuxing.

Chen Mo's calmness and indifference have already established his dominant position invisibly - this can be seen from the scene where he drinks juice while others drink Moutai and no one dares to say anything.

Even the foreign representatives of DST were particularly enthusiastic tonight and stood up to toast according to local customs. After all, this Mr. Chen from the other side was chatting and laughing with his boss.

The Chinese language is profound and extensive. "I've done it, you can do whatever you want." "Drink as much as you can." These two sentences are very powerful at the wine table, and Chen Mo said them so sincerely and with such intonation that it was hard not to be misunderstood.

Therefore, even some people who do not drink often, such as Xu Xin of Today Capital, Zhang Lei of Hillhouse Capital, and Xiong Xiaoge of IDG, actually have few people who can make them drink due to their status and position, but the rapidly rising star in the business world sitting in the main seat is definitely one of them.

You have to know that since its establishment, Bi'an has rarely opened the window for financing. Xiong Xiaoge can attest to this fact with confidence. He has been waiting since before Chen Mo left Xiaomi to go solo, and he is almost waiting like Meng Jiangnu.

Although this time it is not the group headquarters, the current situation of Ele.me and Didi Chuxing shows their future potential to anyone with a clear eye. They are currently the most worthy investment projects in China, especially when the other companies have been divided up by BAT. Such projects are even more precious.

Of course, the most important point is that Chen Mo's vision is recognized as sharp in the industry and has never failed. Never!

So everyone present drank the Moutai in their cups without hesitation. No one could go against money.

Chen Mo drank the remaining half cup of watermelon juice in one gulp. When he put the cup down, he found that all the wine glasses of the people in the audience were empty without a drop left.

He sighed softly.

I still remember the last time he said, "You guys can do whatever you want, I'll drink it." In his hand was a large glass of strong liquor called "Depth Charge".

But now, he held a glass of sweet watermelon juice in his hand.

He clearly said this sincerely from the bottom of his heart, but no one dared to believe it at this moment.

Early Sunday morning at the front desk of Meituan headquarters.

The lady at the front desk, who had obviously dressed up carefully, looked towards the door and yawned in an ungentlemanly manner, looking a little bored.

She heard from her boss that an important guest would be coming today and she needed to be received, otherwise she would not have come to the company at 7 o'clock.

Time passed and it was almost 8 o'clock.

The young lady looked at the figure that appeared outside the sensor door and was shocked. Here it comes.
I saw a group of special visitors standing outside the door, about thirty people in total.

They have different appearances and temperaments, but the common point is that everyone carries a uniform computer bag and an Alibaba Group work badge around their neck. Several people lagging behind the team are also carrying half-person-high equipment boxes of unknown purpose.

The group of people came to the front desk, and the leader stepped forward and said to the receptionist, "We are from the Alibaba Security Division. We are invited here. May I ask where your CEO Wang is?"

A few minutes later.

The Alibaba team was led by Wang Xing personally to a spacious conference room, which is already the largest conference room of Meituan.

Duolong waved his hand and said, "Let's get started." The members accompanying him quickly sat down and began to set up the "battlefield."

He hurriedly called his technicians: "Quick, send them our WiFi name and password."

Before he finished speaking, a member of the other party smiled and said, "No need, we are already connected."

Ignoring the shock on the faces of the Meituan people, Xing Dian was already accustomed to the abilities of his subordinates. "Boss Wang, please provide the highest-privileged system account and password. Although we can also get it done by connecting to your intranet, what we lack most right now is time, isn't it?"

"Okay, okay, this is our CTO Mu Rongjun. You can ask him any technical questions."

Wang Xing looked at these people who were orderly and well-organized, obviously well-trained and did not even need a clear division of labor, and he felt a little envious.

Look, this is his ideal technical team.

Mu Rongjun beside him also had a hint of passion in his eyes.
Duolong looked at the onlookers and pointed at Mu Rongjun, "You, stay, everyone else please leave!"

Seeing Wang Xing's embarrassed face, Xingdian next to Duolong kindly explained: "This guy is like this in Alibaba too. Except for our CEO Ma, he looks like everyone he meets owes him money. Except for CEO Mu, we need a quiet environment."

Wang Xing quickly clapped his hands, "Did you hear that? Everyone get out."

After the others left, Wang Xing turned around and found that these people were staring at him. "Okay, okay, I'll leave too. Old Mu, please cooperate with us."

"Yeah!" Mu Rongjun nodded.

A few minutes later, when the Alibaba team browsed through Meituan’s systems, the conference room seemed to have turned into a rant:

"Damn, this system is too old. No wonder it's been infiltrated like a sieve."

"This is a mess. The person who wrote this code could have scored 3.125 in our company, but unfortunately he didn't."

"Forget it, let's get to work. Aren't we just doing IT scavenger work?"

"It seems that we have to be careful when recruiting new people in our department. Anyone with experience in Meituan will be blacklisted."

As the saying goes, you have to look at the owner before beating the dog. Although this is the case, the fact that it was said so shamelessly on the spot still made Mu Rongjun, who was standing by, look very ugly.

Mu Rongjun's eyes twitched as he listened. After explaining the relevant background and technical information, he wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, he did not move, but chose to stay here and endure the humiliation.

Because he is still needed to provide necessary information during the investigation process, for the benefit of the company and out of responsibility considerations, he cannot leave!
In fact, before the Alibaba team came, he still had a glimmer of hope that the two technical teams could work together, complement each other's strengths, and face the same enemy together. But now, it seems that in the eyes of the other side, their technology is not only not a help, but also a hindrance.

Oh, is this what a technical expert in a big company is? Yes, their average annual salary, stocks, dividends, and bonuses add up to millions, which is almost the same as mine. There is really no comparison.
They are a bunch of guys who look down on others. He wants to see whether these guys who are too arrogant can solve the problem.

Although he knew it was inappropriate to think this way, Mu Rongjun still looked forward with evil interest to the "oddballs" in the system teaching these arrogant guys a lesson.

Xingdian actually looked up to this CTO. Well, he was quite shrewd, not bad, but he also cared a lot.

This time they are just acting as mercenaries, finishing the job as soon as possible and leaving work early.

He clapped his hands, as if blowing the horn of charge: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, and prepare to start the general cleaning. First, scan these systems with Cloud Shield and clear out the garbage."

"Got it!" In the conference room, everyone's face showed excitement.

They started the cleaning work in an orderly manner.
"Progress report, Alibaba Cloud Shield has been connected and is currently scanning the Meituan system. The scan is expected to be completed in 20 minutes."

"Captain, an abnormal target has been found. Begin analysis."

"Shit, this is bait, we've alerted the snake."

Duolong stared at the data stream on the computer screen, frowning slightly, "Everyone, pay attention. Don't mess up. The other side is not a ragtag army."

As time goes by, the investigation work enters deep waters.

Everyone in Ali found that this malicious attack was not as simple as they thought. The excitement on their faces gradually disappeared and they began to become serious.
The "Cyber ​​Information Warfare Center" of Qingteng College is more than 20 kilometers away from Meituan's headquarters.

The person in charge of leaving no trace on the snow looked at the red light spots jumping on the screen, his Adam's apple trembling slightly with excitement.

He immediately reported, "Boss, finally a fish has taken the bait."

The entire tactical response center instantly entered combat mode, with twelve curved screens retrieving data simultaneously. The engineers watching looked at the "SR" mark on the threat level assessment column, and someone whistled:
"That's it? That's it? Not even SSR level."

"It's good to have one, why do you need a bicycle?"

"The little fish has appeared, is the shark far away?"

"Finally I have something to play with. I've been so tired of playing with my hands these past two days."

"The probe coordinates have been activated, and we can finally get started."

"The boss is coming." Seeing Xu Chaojun coming, everyone consciously made way for him.

Xu Chaojun looked at the log and information, and said with a smile: "Everyone, take your positions and prepare to fish. Play slowly with the other side, take it easy, scare the other side away, open your pockets and kill them all!"

"Okay!" "Got it!" "Just wait and see." Everyone was ready to go. Although they looked excited, their movements were as gentle as if they were caressing their lover's skin, for fear of using too much force and offending the beauty.

Seeing the new "fruit" coming in, under the deliberate control of these people, the speed of the juicer system slowly decreased.
Xu Chaojun picked up his phone and sent a message to someone: "Another big watermelon has arrived, and I'm peeling it and squeezing out the juice."

In the office of the Bi'an Entrepreneurship Park, Chen Mo was flipping through the "transcript" submitted by Zhang Xuhao.

His cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the screen and casually replied with a "1" to indicate that he had read the message.

Then he opened the internal ordering system and ordered an extra-large glass of freshly squeezed watermelon juice with ice and no sugar.

Perhaps it was because of his status as chairman, watermelon juice was delivered to his table in less than ten minutes.

He sipped the cold juice and browsed the gradually upward trend chart in the data report, and sighed comfortably.

comfortable
According to the report, the number of registered users of the Ele.me group buying app and the Ele.me app both exceeded 100 million.

Although there is still a gap in user scale between Ele.me and Meituan, Ele.me has set historical records in key indicators such as daily active users (DAU), new users and conversion rate.

Combining reports from third-party data organizations such as iResearch Consulting Group and Analysys International, as well as Ele.me’s own internal data, it can be inferred that Ele.me’s current market share in the takeout and group-buying markets has surpassed its competitors, temporarily making it the industry leader.

In the food delivery market, Ele.me has a market share of 70% in first- and second-tier cities, and in third- and fourth-tier cities, through recent market expansion, it has also successfully captured a 30% share.

In the group buying market, due to Meituan’s “convulsion-like inability” in the past three days, a large number of users have been lost. Ele.me’s group buying market share has surpassed Meituan for the first time, temporarily leading the market.

Overall, this has achieved the initial goals of the third phase of the Watermelon Project.

Although some articles with rhetoric such as "Ele.me is the mastermind behind Meituan's problems" and "The conspiracy behind the mask of hypocrisy" began to appear online, these remarks did not attract widespread attention from the public.

Chen Mo believes that Chen Tong will properly handle these public opinion storms. In fact, all users who have experienced Ele.me and Bi'an products generally gave them high praise.

As Chen Tong once said to Chen Mo, most people on the Internet are often trapped in carefully woven information cocoons, and they are only willing to believe the "truth" they believe.

Therefore, Chen Mo is not worried that these negative public opinions will have a substantial impact on the brand image of Ele.me and Bian.

Even if Xu Chaojun was not allowed to take action, Chen Mo was confident that he could bring down his opponent through a price war.

The reason is simple. Compared with other Internet giants, Bi'an's advantage lies in its pure and simple business model without complicated interests.

To use the current social phenomena as an analogy, other Internet giants are like a pillar who marries a wife and has children to support the entire family. Not only does he have to make money to support his family, but he also has to coordinate various complex family relationships and even take into account the opinions of his aunts and uncles. If he wants to spend money on something, he has to get the consent of his partner.

The other side is more like a free golden bachelor. I don’t need to worry about buying a house or a car, family conflicts or relationships with relatives. One person’s food feeds the whole family. I can spend the money I earn however I want and live a free and easy life.

Of course, Chen Mo also knew that the highly centralized model of the other side was a double-edged sword.

It brings about efficient allocation of resources and strong execution, but it also places extremely high demands on the leadership's abilities.

Generally speaking, this model is prone to lead to problems such as lack of innovation, excessive burden on senior management and concentrated risks.

Innovation and direction? What other entrepreneurs consider to be the most critical issues is actually the easiest for Chen Mo. As for the other issues, he has already dealt with them accordingly:
Appropriate decentralization, focusing on the big picture and letting go of the small details, proposing the big direction, paying attention to the milestones, and not interfering in the specific process;
Establish feedback mechanisms such as the chairman’s mailbox and employee union;
Founded the Bi'an Innovation and Research Institute and Qingteng College, focusing on technological innovation and talent team building respectively;
Invest 30% of revenue in technological innovation each year and set up over million yuan in innovation incentive bonuses;
Introduce internal and external dual-line supervision mechanisms to prevent and eliminate corruption;

At the same time, we provide salaries and benefits far exceeding the industry level to form a community of interests;
