Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 327 Being Targeted
As he spoke, Xiao Ma Ge's eyes behind his glasses inadvertently swept across the entire conference room.
Those who have a seat at this meeting are all middle and senior management of Tenda. Those who are ranked among the management of Tenda and the entire Internet industry can definitely be called industry elites.
However, this group of elites, wherever Brother Xiao Ma's eyes reached, all tacitly looked at each other, and did not dare to meet Brother Xiao Ma's eyes.
Although this situation was an internal strategic meeting of Tenda, it was similar to the scene when a teacher asks questions in the classroom.
Fortunately, although Xiao Ma Ge is gentle and polite, he is not Teacher Ma, and he did not hold his subordinates accountable for their silence.
After all, no matter how powerful Tengda is, there are always things they cannot do. At this time, it is enough for them to just play to their strengths as always.
In the past, this advantage was "reference", but now, we are one of the top giants in the domestic Internet industry, so why do we still need "reference"?
It is enough to give full play to one's capital advantages and offer a price that is irresistible. After all, who can refuse the olive branch thrown by Tenda?
However...looking at the information summarized by his subordinates, Xiao Ma Ge was not unfamiliar with the names of big guys such as Duan Yongping and Ding Sanshi.
However, among a bunch of familiar information, there was an "Dongsheng Investment" that was particularly unfamiliar, which made Xiao Ma Ge curious and asked: "What is the background of this Dongsheng Investment?"
In addition to being one of the top Internet companies in China, Tengda's capital skills are definitely not to be underestimated in the capital world.
Whether at home or abroad, Ma Ge is not only familiar with those well-known capital institutions, but has also dealt with them many times.
Therefore, Xiao Ma Ge is naturally very familiar with the unspoken rules of capital operation. Since Dongsheng Investment can endorse this company together with a group of capital giants, it is most likely not an ordinary person.
After hearing Xiao Ma's question, the head of the strategy department hesitated and said, "After our investigation, Dongsheng Investment has a relatively simple background. It is a new capital that has been established for less than a year."
"The company is 100% owned by a young man named Zhou Dongsheng. Although he has a close relationship with the son of Yida, there is no sign that he has a deep background. He was born in a small place in Chaoshan and his family is very simple..."
"From the information we have learned, after accumulating the first pot of gold from the live broadcast dividend, Dongsheng Investment was established. In a short period of time, three investments were completed, all of which were game companies, including Xunmeng Technology, the company behind 'Push Good Goods'..."
Some open and transparent information is laid out in the open. It is not difficult for Tenda to find out about it. If it wants to dig deeper, it can even get more detailed information.
However, it seems that there is no need for this at the moment.
"What does Xiaolong think of this 'Push Goods' and their newly launched 'Pinxixi' platform?"
Xiao Ma Ge smiled slightly. After learning that Dongsheng Investment had no background worth mentioning, although they were nominally "fellow villagers", it was obvious that Xiao Ma Ge did not take it to heart.
Then, Pony Ma turned the question to a serious man sitting below him, Xiaolong, the vice president of Tenda, who is known as the "Father of WeChat".
Although the outside world has praised this a lot, boasting that Brother Long is the man who gave Tengda a second life, Brother Ma is very fond of him. Even in internal meetings, Brother Long can sleep when he wants to sleep and play games when he wants to play games.
It doesn't matter if you are late, Xiao Ma Ge will send someone to pick you up personally...Rumors like these are obviously just CP stories written by some people who are secretly shipping the "Ryoma CP" (funny).
Although Xiao Ma Ge is a low-key person, it is easy to understand that a top boss like him, no matter how much he loves talent, will never tolerate his subordinates bullying him.
At this time, Brother Long was serious and did not sleep or play games. He was probably well slept last night. After hearing Brother Xiao Ma's question, he hesitated for a moment and said.
"In my opinion, the success of 'Tuihaohuo' is that it has grasped the key elements of mobile social networking. It uses a slightly innovative group buying model to make consumers willing to become promoters, and invisibly uses consumers' social circles to spread fission..."
"This is very similar to the micro-business model on WeChat, which takes advantage of the friend circle but is not limited by it. This may be the 'social + e-commerce' strategy that we have always dreamed of but have not been able to achieve. I am very optimistic about the potential of this model..."
"However, the disadvantages are also obvious. Social networking is the core of their model. The reason why they can rise so quickly is also due to our social ecosystem. If we want, we can easily kill them."
"Therefore, they cannot refuse the olive branch we offer, because only our social ecosystem can enable it to continue to develop."
Brother Long analyzed clearly and his calm tone was full of confidence. Although e-commerce is their weak point, when it comes to social ecology, Tenda is the best and has no rivals in this field in China.
As for ByteDance, which can pose a certain threat to Tenda's social ecosystem, it is still a bit immature before entering the short video field.
Even if they have a killer weapon, it will only pose a certain threat to Tengda.
“Since they can do what we haven’t done, it proves that they have their merits. Good products don’t need so-called particularly powerful designs. Although they have relied on our social ecosystem, they have accumulated tens of millions of users in just a few months. Obviously, users have made their choice.
From this point of view, the product is successful if it can be recognized by users. Resources are secondary, and product strength is the core. Let the investment department contact the founding team. We, Tengda, will lead the next round of investment. "
"By the way, contact Dongsheng Investment. It would be great if we could acquire their shares."
Pony Ma announced the decision in a very light tone. As for the amount of the money, it was naturally not worth mentioning for the wealthy Tenda.
As the helmsman, he only needs to finalize the decision, and the rest, the huge machine of Tengda Group will naturally be implemented according to his will.
The subordinate agreed immediately, and then the matter was forgotten and the discussion moved on to the next topic.
…
Although he was in Pengcheng, Zhou Dongsheng obviously didn't know that he had actually attracted the attention of the giant Tengda.
If he knew, Zhou Dongsheng would probably feel proud of it and show off a little.
But if he knew that Tengda was targeting his shares in Xunmeng Technology... then he would probably have a different reaction.
But even if he knew, it would not matter. Zhou Dongsheng would never sell his shares in Xunmeng Technology.
After all, he didn't want to repeat the classic feat of Li Xiaochao's investment career, even though he made a lot of money by selling Tengda shares at that time.
But for the rest of his life, whenever he thought about this investment, it might be his only chance to surpass his father's. If he let him waste such a gift, it would be difficult for him to reconcile with it.
