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

Chapter 585: How audacious! Check it out for me!

"Who gave you the courage?"

No one responded to Chen Mo's question, but the program was simply paused again.

This time the recording was interrupted for an unusually long time, and the program team consulted repeatedly with the expert jury and called in representatives from both sides to verify the situation several times.

A full thirty minutes later, the show resumed recording.

The host, Chen Weihong, cleared his throat and explained:

“After much communication and confirmation, the program team reached a consensus: although some operations may be morally controversial, they are normal market economic behaviors and fully comply with the rules of the competition. Therefore, the Guardian team’s results are still valid.

In addition, if rattan tea does engage in illegal activities, the relevant departments will naturally intervene to deal with the matter.

Based on the information currently available, no obvious violations have been found.

Mr. Chen, do you have anything else to ask?"

The relevant departments? Chen Mo smiled speechlessly and shook his head, "No problem."

Chen Weihong was relieved and immediately announced: "Since the Guardian team won the second stage, the total score is 2:0 and they are the first to get the match point. Next, it will be the highlight of this episode - the takeaway battle!"

As soon as the words "takeout war" came out, the scene was immediately in commotion.

Many viewers immediately thought of the recent news about the merger of Meituan, Baidu Takeout and Dianping.

Is this just a coincidence?
In any case, Ele.me is about to face a tough battle.

The host introduced the competition system in detail: "In this stage, China Internet Network Information Center will provide professional data support.

We will conduct a comprehensive data evaluation of both parties’ platforms: Ele.me and Meituan.

Current data shows that Ele.me has a market share of 63%, while the newly formed New Meituan-Dianping (a merger with Meituan) has a market share of 32%.

The competition cycle is two months, with a phased evaluation conducted every month and the final points settled.

The total score for this stage is 2 points.

The goal of the competition is to conduct a comprehensive assessment by combining offline market competition with online strategic games.

The criteria for determining victory or defeat take into account that the higher the market share, the more difficult it is to improve:

If Ele.me can increase its market share to 70%, or Meituan-Dianping can reach 50%, the team that achieves the goal first will be the winner.

Now, please welcome our special guests: Mr. Zhang Xuhao, founder of Ele.me, and Mr. Wang Xing, founder of Meituan."

Afterwards, the two founders took the stage one after another and elaborated on the business philosophy, development status and future plans of their respective platforms.

However, the audience gradually noticed an abnormal phenomenon: the three members of the Subverter Team, who were originally lagging behind, looked calm and showed no emotional fluctuations;
However, the combination of "two Ma and one Li", who had already got the match point, frowned, as if they had encountered a world-class problem in the college entrance examination.

".Thank you for watching. The next episode will reveal the latest developments in this takeaway war. Let us wait and see."

The recording of this episode of "Win in China 2014" has officially ended.

On the way back, a black six-seater commercial vehicle sped through the night.

Although the team had already obtained the match point, the atmosphere in the carriage was a little dull.

The two Ma and one Li remained silent, each with their own thoughts.

Liu Qiangdong and Lei Jun's previous remarks were relatively consistent with their usual style.

But why did Chen Mo give up so easily? This was totally inconsistent with his past style.

They originally thought that Chen Mo would continue to pursue them relentlessly, but they didn't expect that the other party would adopt an indifferent attitude of "let him be as strong as he can".

It's so abnormal, so abnormal that it's disturbing.

It should be noted that dogs that bite often do not bark, let alone the dog opposite is a notoriously mad dog.

When Xiao Ma thought of this, he kindly reminded Lao Ma: "The recording is over, you can stop the actions you arranged.

The other party may have noticed something."

"It's better to be safe than sorry." Li Yanhong said calmly, "Chen Mo is acting so abnormally today, he must be planning something big.

Next, our focus will be on cracking down on Ele.me and online car-hailing businesses. As long as we cut off these two most important tentacles of Bi'an, their development this year will be hindered."

Xiao Ma Ge suggested: "I think this time we should give them a taste of their own medicine, and the effect may be better."

"Why stop?" Old Ma snorted coldly, "I know what to do, no need to worry about it"

Back in the hotel suite, Lao Ma finally took off the mask of calm he maintained in front of his companions, and his face instantly turned gloomy.

He pulled out his cell phone and quickly dialed a number.

".Last time you told me how much you would charge for tea?

Fuck you twice as much, people are throwing videos at my face, 8 yuan a pound, 8 yuan.
Twice the purchase price! Tea farmers get less than 80% of the market price!

They subcontract at every level, peel off the skin at every level, and eat from both ends. In the end, they are bolder than me and sell it for tens of thousands per kilogram?
They take 90% of the profits and leave 10% for the tea farmers. The public welfare I set up to help farmers has now become a channel for these parasites to make money. It seems that they want the profits and only leave a good name for me!
Is this for me to thank them?!

I want to know what went wrong.”

At this point, Lao Ma's face was grim, and his voice was like a tiger roaring, ". Check it for me!!!"

After hanging up the phone, he picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it against the wall. There was a loud "bang" and glass fragments flew everywhere.

"Fuck, what a bunch of rubbish, Gan Lin's mother!"

The bodyguard who heard the noise rushed in hurriedly, met a pair of bloodshot eyes head-on, and asked tremblingly: "Boss Mama, are you okay?"

The only response he got was a roar: "Get lost!"

"Yes, yes." The burly bodyguard was as agile as a rabbit at this moment. He closed the door quietly and stood guard outside the door in an orderly manner, watching the situation with his eyes and nose.

As a personal bodyguard who has followed Lao Ma for many years, he has never seen his boss so angry.

Although he was full of questions, he knew very well that this was not his business.

Old Ma sat cross-legged on the bench in the suite, his hands on his knees, palms facing up, eyes closed and concentrating.

He began to reflect on the whole incident.
The thing is actually very simple.

At first, he only gave a general direction, and left the specific operations to his confidants, and made preparations for risk isolation in advance.

Whether it is the "Tea Girl" or "Financial Tea" that is hotly discussed online, they are essentially walking in the gray area and playing edge balls. As long as the people do not report it and the officials do not investigate it, it is no big deal.

The effect was indeed significant at first, and the sales of rattan tea soared. But the subsequent development trend made even him feel terrified.

What puzzled him even more was that even though "Tengcha" was on the verge of losing control, Chen Mo was still able to fight back and forth with them, and even used the "pre-sale" trick to overtake them.
How could a small bottle of chili sauce on pre-sale attract so many consumers to pay for it?
Even he had to admit that this guy's marketing methods were really scary.

Initially, he did have the intention of helping farmers.

After reading about the hard work of tea farmers, he sincerely wanted to help improve their lives.

That's why he ordered to buy tea from tea farmers at double the market price.

But when Chen Mo threw the USB drive in his face and revealed that the actual purchase price was even 20% lower than the market price, Lao Ma felt a burning pain on his face.

Calculated at double the purchase price, the cost was only about 10 million yuan, and the final profit? A full 1 billion yuan!

A hundred times profit difference. Haha, Chen Mo was right to scold me. Who gave you the courage to be so blatant? !
Now reviewing the whole process, Lao Ma has to admit that greed is like a beast out of a cage. Once released, it cannot be easily taken back. He underestimated the greed of human nature.

It's like a snowball on a snowy mountain. Once it starts rolling, it will get bigger and bigger. In the end, it will not be able to stop and will only roll all the way to the bottom.

Now all he could do was cut it in time.

Fortunately, the company has no direct interest in this matter and my hands are clean.

Half an hour later, the investigation results came back, and the efficiency was astonishing.

As Lao Ma expected, the problem lies with the key personnel in the outsourcing process.

With layers of deductions and false reporting of accounts, a profit group was formed that was parasitic on Tengcha.

"Boss, the relevant personnel have completed the cutting. What should we do with the borers?"

"Now that the truth has been revealed, if we want to destroy them, we must first make them crazy. For the time being, we should keep our troops in place. We may not need to take action. Someone will naturally take care of them. We just need to give them a push at the right time."

"clear."

After hanging up the phone, Lao Ma sighed.

It seemed that the two sides would tie in this round. He then cryptically informed the "RJP" group of this news. I believe that Xiao Ma Ge and Shusheng could understand what he meant.
After dealing with all this, Lao Ma kicked away the broken pieces of teacup at his feet, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and overlooked the dazzling night view of the city.

There are tall buildings and bright lights, but how many dirty deals are hidden behind this prosperity?
God knows.
In the first-class cabin at an altitude of ten thousand meters, Xiao Ma Ge was looking at the messages on his mobile phone, thinking about the next arrangements in his mind.

Since Lao Ma said it was no problem, he wasn't too worried.

As a former opponent and current teammate, he has full confidence in Lao Ma's ability and skills.

What he cares more about now is the live streaming sales that Chen Mo did a few days ago.

It’s a pity that PaiPai.com bought it early, otherwise it might have been able to take this opportunity to revive.

Perhaps we can find an opportunity to discuss with Lao Ma and let Weishi and Taobao cooperate to try this new e-commerce model.

After the previous confrontations and the close combat in the last two episodes, Xiao Ma Ge realized one thing more and more clearly through observation and analysis.

The Bi'an Group insists on not going public or raising funds, and the decision-making power is highly concentrated. It is like a "kingdom" ruled by Chen Mo, which is extremely unique in today's business world.

From the perspective of Internet business competition, the centralized management model of Bi'an, which is characterized by one person having the final say, has significant advantages in the competitive environment of "winner takes all" with the rapid development of mobile Internet:
Decision-making efficiency advantage: The ability to respond quickly to market changes is of course inseparable from Chen Mo’s unique vision.

Even he had to admit that the other party always managed to accurately hit every trend, which allowed every product launched and company invested by Bi'an to quickly occupy the market.

This is why Bi'an has grown into a giant that is no less than BAT, yet still maintains amazing agility.

It's like a fat person can jump lightly onto a half-meter-high bed, which is full of incongruity yet smooth.

Advantages of resource integration: zero loss in cross-departmental collaboration.

When building the ecosystem, Chen Mo can directly mobilize multiple departments or affiliated companies, open data interfaces for payment, maps, food delivery and other businesses, and achieve seamless connection. This effectively avoids the data island problem caused by Alibaba's early "horse racing mechanism".

This phenomenon has become more obvious recently. The live streaming sales campaign created by Bi'an and other members of the Disruptor Team is the best example. It may also be an attempt by the other party to collaborate on a larger scale.

Now Xiao Ma even has some self-doubt: the original intention of this program is to suppress the opponent, but why does it seem to be helping the opponent to train? The cooperation between Bi'an, Xiaomi and JD.com is getting more and more tacit.
The most crucial point is that a centralized system like Bi'an can ignore the pressure of short-term financial reports and continue to invest, and it is the kind of sustainable investment that can sacrifice short-term interests.

Especially when Chen Mo gets ruthless, he is willing to sacrifice his own life, and he would rather die as a human being than drag you down with him. This is extremely scary.

Judging from the feedback from the public opinion department, Chen Mo has a very high prestige in the other side and can be regarded as a spiritual leader. This is also the reward for his generous treatment of his employees at all costs.

In comparison, embodying the corporate values ​​into the founder's IP, bringing out Chen Mo from time to time, and saving more than ten billion in marketing costs every year have become insignificant matters.

Of course, this centralized model also has a fatal weakness: once those in power make a wrong decision, this one-man system will cause irreparable losses.

But what is disturbing is that Chen Mo seems to be constantly evolving and has unfathomable potential. Just like Doraemon, whenever he is at a disadvantage, he will pull out a powerful weapon from his crotch and counterattack.

This is true whether it is WeChat, games or the current live streaming sales.

Therefore, when it comes to the upcoming takeaway war, Xiao Ma Ge’s confidence is not as strong as he appears in front of his two companions.

We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate.

Who knows what tricks Chen Mo will come up with next? Maybe if he is pushed too far, Ele.me will even offer free meals.

With Chen Mo's style of doing things, he would really do such a shameless trick if he got mad.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ma Ge was shocked and immediately took out his mobile phone to write down this sudden idea.

He is not as radical now as he was two years ago.

In the past, we always wanted to rely on our capital advantage to crush the other side in one wave, but many confrontations have proved that this approach is not feasible.

When he saw Lao Ma and Xiao Li being so pissed off by Chen Mo and trying to pretend to be calm, he was secretly happy, as if he saw his former self in them.

Now he has a much calmer mentality and has figured out Tencent's development strategy: just like in the student days, don't always think about surpassing the top students, just keep up with them and don't be left too far behind.

Xiao Ma Ge sighed softly and had to admit that he was a little envious of Chen Mo.

The current environment of Bi'an can be called a dream group for helmsmen of their level. Whether it is the group's cohesion, personnel echelon construction, business layout and commercial investment map, at first glance it seems to be 360 ​​degrees with no blind spots.

It is somewhat terrifying that there is such a company in China with almost no shortcomings.

If he and Chen Mo were to switch places now, he was confident that he would not do worse than the other.

Tencent currently has too many restrictions on him. It feels like wearing a heavy costume on stage, wanting to perform to his heart's content but being restricted everywhere.

Unfortunately, there is no if.
Pony Ma realized that in order to completely defeat the other side, BAT could only win by force if they truly worked together as one and cooperated without reservation.

Unfortunately, reason told him that this situation was impossible.
For now, we can only cooperate on the surface and make our own Plan B.

It is his style to plan ahead.

Xiao Ma looked out the window at the endless darkness and sighed.
