Chapter 504 Alis Olive Branch

The trend of group buying in Kyoto spread quickly, coupled with the fact that community group buying is really overbearing, the almost complete ecological chain is simply impeccable.

As a result, the capital giants behind the group buying market are becoming increasingly restless.

The competition has reached the second half. Thousands of group buying websites have been struggling to sell their products, and only less than ten are left.

They thought it was safe when they chose horses at the end of the field, but who knew that no matter which horse was chosen, a horse without a rider rushed to the front, barking at the market, and everyone looked at each other in disbelief. squeak.

Especially for Alibaba, seeing that the group buying market is about to change hands, they are extremely anxious.

Why did they choose to hold hands at that time?

Because based on Lashous online performance in the past six months, he really looks like an emperor!

He occupies two first-tier cities, and has the highest market share in the second- and third-tier cities in the entire north. If not, who can win?

The in-depth cooperation agreement they negotiated at that time required that must be integrated into Alibabas ecological chain, and all decisions must be approved by Alibaba and cooperate with Alibabas subsequent development strategy.

If LaShou wins, the entire group buying channel will become theirs. In this way, one e-commerce giant and one group buying giant will almost control the entire domestic market.

In fact, LaShou performed well after signing with them.

It acquired five group buying websites right after the launch, which puts it far ahead in the entire industry. Even Dianping, which is supported by Tencent, could only lag behind when it first came out.

What is the result so far?

Shanghai was lost, Shenzhen was lost, and even my hometown was invaded.

Except for the market share in second- and third-tier cities, LaShou has almost no advantage at all.

The one that has achieved this kind of success is a group buying website that came out of a school.

You want to say that the top management of is incompetent, but thats not true, because Nuomi was also blocked in a corner by a bunch of gangsters, and was beaten without making a sound.

There is also Dianping, which came from behind. It is a long-established lifestyle service website. However, they were kicked out when they returned to their hometown. Can you say that they are incompetent?

So in the final analysis, the ability to form a group is still too advanced.

After making this judgment, Alibaba definitely no longer wants to bet on , but hopes to get married with Pintuan.

On the morning of June 22, Lu Zhichuan, general manager of Alibabas investment department, rang Jiang Qins phone. He called five times in a row, and his patience almost ran out before he got through.

Mr. Jiang, its really difficult to call you, hahaha.

"you are?"

Let me introduce myself. I am Lv Zhichuan, general manager of the investment department of Alibaba Group. Is Mr. Jiang interested in chatting with me? Internet business is a vast blue ocean, but after all, a single tree cannot grow into a forest..."

Lu Zhichuan took the manuscript he had written earlier and rambled for a long time. Then he heard the voice on the other side suddenly lowered his voice, and it sounded like a thief.

"Mr. Lu, I'm about to take my final exam. Let's not talk about it for now. The invigilator is coming... Today, he is actually holding a bamboo pole. I am a star of study!"

?)

Lu Zhichuan was stunned for a long time, and then he realized that the phone was hung up, but a text message was sent from the other side, saying that he was in the middle of an exam, and he was really sorry.

To be honest, he was confused.

Especially the three words "final exam" made him feel like his head was buzzing.

A college student? Yes, the boss of the group buying is still a college student. The information says, holy shit, can a college student turn the entire group buying market into this? is such a **** waste!

At this moment, Lu Zhichuans secretary opened his door: Mr. Lu, Mr. Wu from has been waiting for you in the conference room for half an hour.

I know, Ill go over after drinking this cup of tea.

"OK."

Lv Zhichuan picked up the teacup and drank the tea expressionlessly. He didn't get up until ten minutes later, came to the conference room, and met Wu Bo, the boss of , and his team.

People in the conference room exchanged pleasantries with each other and talked about recent business. Finally, Wu Bo explained his purpose of coming, which was to seek funding.

They decided to vigorously develop the market below the third-tier cities, and also settled in the second- and third-tier cities in the south.

Yes, they are indeed unable to defeat the group, but Nuomi is their old rival. Facing this website, they win more and lose less, and they are determined to win the southern market.

As for the group building of first-tier cities, let Dianping do it on its own. Didnt they just say it when they were dismissed? Either they dont do it, or if they want to do it, they will do it in first-tier cities.

Lv Zhichuan thought for a long time after hearing the LaShou teams adjustments to the later direction.

It seems that the group has no intention of cooperating. Otherwise, how could it be possible for him to give up a cooperation with just a final exam?

And he had personally signed the deal for LaShou and had already invested hundreds of millions in it. Giving up now would be nothing...

Forget it, a lame horse is still a horse at the very least. Whats more, Lashou is still the website with the highest market share in the second and third tier cities in the north. It is indeed not to the point of being regarded as junk.

And the later planning of LaShou.com is indeed feasible and can be regarded as a way out. What's more, Lu Zhichuan knows that Alibaba has a bigger trump card that can help LaShou.com come back to life.

Mr. Wu, we will have a meeting to study the next round of capital injection.

Hearing this, Wu Bo raised the corners of his mouth, and the gloom in his eyes lightened slightly. To be honest, LaShou.com has been a mess in the past six months. It is really difficult for him to open his mouth to ask for money.

When the group buying market was just established, he firmly occupied the top spot and was not too tough when negotiating with Alibaba. Even though it was eventually changed and merged into Alibaba, every word he said during the negotiations was resounding.

In less than half a year, the situation turned out to be like this, and the guy who beat him to a **** head was a college student group buying website that he had never liked.

Thinking of this, Wu Bo sighed subconsciously, and this action was accurately captured by Lu Zhichuan.

Mr. Wu, dont worry too much. There is no permanent winner in business, and you dont have to worry too much about short-term losses.

Wu Bo was stunned for a moment: "What does Mr. Lu mean?"

Lv Zhichuan waved to his secretary, whispered something in her ear, and saw the wasp-waisted female secretary walking out of the conference room with long black stockings, and then brought back a stack of promotional brochures about Alipay.

Wu Bo took it and looked through it for a long time, his eyes gradually widening.

Alipay has obtained a payment license last month and is currently in internal testing. It is expected to be launched soon. The future group buying market will definitely be dominated by mobile payments.

Lu Zhichuan raised his lips: "The state has very strict control over payment licenses. This is not only a technical barrier, but also a policy barrier. Do you think there is still a way to survive in group games? Do you have to rely on U-shield to continue doing business?"

Wu Bo frowned instantly, with a strange light in his eyes.

The mobile Internet has developed very rapidly in the past year, and their company is also working hard to develop apps. If Alipay can connect with Lashou, then there is really nothing to worry about in group joining.

By then, all the advantages accumulated by group joining will be lost due to changes in carriers. By then, the huge family fortune accumulated by group joining may be directly used as someone elses wedding dress!

Mr. Lu, when will Alipay be launched?

They are not in the same business group as our investment department. I dont know the progress of their business yet. Lets do this. I will invite Mr. Pang over at noon and we will chat while eating.

Okay, okay

But Mr. Wu, dont take it lightly. As far as I know, Tencent and Baidu have also obtained payment licenses, so your biggest opponents are Dianping and Nuomi. You must be cautious in every next step.

After the meeting, Wu Bo and his team still felt like they were in a dream. They still couldn't calm down until they walked out of the investment department.

To be honest, from the Battle of Shanghai, to the Battle of Shencheng, and finally the Battle of Kyoto, people on LaShou.com will feel desperate whenever they hear the name of the group.

But they didnt expect that when they came to Hangzhou, they would encounter a huge wealth!

The mobile Internet market is just around the corner, and with the protection of third-party payment platforms, even if LaShou loses the Kyoto market, it will be able to catch up in the future.

Most importantly, there is no Internet giant behind Tuan Tuan, and his company does not have the qualifications to obtain a payment license. In other words, as soon as Alipay comes online, Tuan Tuan will almost collapse!

Damn it, isnt this a shame?

At eleven o'clock at noon, Wu Bo received a call from Lu Zhichuan, rushed to the hotel without stopping, entered the box, and met Alipay CEO Pang Rui.

Pang Rui thought it was just a simple meal, but she didn't expect there would be a third person, so she looked a little surprised.

"Who is this?"

Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Wu from LaShou.com.

Lv Zhichuan pulled Wu Bo over and let the two of them get to know each other: "As you know, the group buying market is a very important part of our group's development plan, but the recent group buying market is really not peaceful."

Pang Rui nodded calmly: "Because of the group fight?"

Yes, the entire group buying market has been disrupted by group buying. Lao Wu is also having a headache. He has been changing his development strategy recently, so I told him not to worry. After all, our Alipay has obtained the payment permission.

Wu Bo also took advantage of the situation and answered: "Mr. Pang, Lashou.com is willing to go hand in hand with Alipay."

During the next meal, Lv Zhichuan and Wu Bo kept talking about the implementation plan after the cooperation between Lashou.com and Alipay, as well as the mutual benefit and win-win situation with the help of both parties.

Probably it means that Alipay can directly carry out precise promotion through LaShou's offline channels, and it is blooming everywhere. Pang Rui also nodded repeatedly, showing interest, and even exchanged a drink with Wu Bo.

After dinner, Wu Bo seemed to have put his heart in his stomach. After saying goodbye, he returned to the hotel, feeling that the wedding dress of the group had been draped on himself.

Lv Zhichuan and Pang Rui returned to the headquarters together, but when they arrived at the entrance of the headquarters, Pang Rui suddenly stopped Lv Zhichuan.

Does Mr. Lu know the boss of the group?

I know, there is a college student named Jiang Qin, but no matter how I think about it, I feel something is wrong. Mr. Pang, do you think there are really college students who can do such a good job in business?

Pang Rui nodded calmly: "Yes, Jiang Qin."

Lv Zhichuan stopped and looked slightly stunned: "Mr. Pang knows him?"

We met, on National Day two years ago. I thought he was a very capable businessman at first, but now I think he is scary.
