Chapter 778: I love you
Brother Hao took out a bottle of ice-cold Coke from the hotel’s refrigerator.
After taking a big gulp, he let out a satisfied “Ahh~”
“This is the right taste!”
At this mont, he was completely unaware that the seemingly prosperous situation was actually tumultuous beneath the surface!
Wang Xin, an old veteran in entrepreneurship, had been making his sneaky moves behind the scenes!
He was disturbing Zhang Tao’s moral compass at Dianping!
…
…
Inside the Dianping office building, after finishing a video conference, Zhang Tao looked out the floor-to-ceiling window.
The sun was about to set, and a beautiful sunset was visible.
The video conference that had just seed harmonious was actually full of hidden agendas.
Earlier this year, Zhang Tao’s attention to Ele could be described as unparalleled.
There was no choice, as ituan suddenly decided to enter the food delivery industry, how could he not panic?
But the situation with Dianping was different from that of ituan, which had a stronger advantage in doing food delivery itself, as they could still utilize their ‘encircle the cities from the countryside’ strategy while entering the food delivery market.
Thus, it was inevitable for Dianping to invest in Ele; there was no other option.
However, now Zhang Tao’s thoughts were in disarray.
The reason was simple, Wang from ituan had recently approached him to discuss a rger!
It was hard not to be tempted!
From both their perspectives, rging was a win-win option.
What good would continuing to fight bring?
A mutually destructive outco was inevitable.
Both parties had erged from the corpses of the “Thousands of Group-Buy Wars” quite exhausted indeed.
Look at Didi and Kuai Di after their rger—they really seed to monopolize the industry, enjoying a dominant position without competition!
If ituan and Dianping could actually rge, it would an dominance in the group-buy sector as well.
Under these circumstances, it would be ti to start swinging the scythe and begin making real money!
These past few years, they had been giving concessions to rchants and custors, it gave a headache from burning so much money!
After the rger, it would be ti for the rchants and custors to cough up what they had ingested.
In a monopoly situation, wouldn’t we dictate everything?
— My rules are the rules!
So, for “Neighbor Wang” to take the initiative to knock on the door was to truly disturb Brother Tao’s heart.
Once rged with ituan, who the fuck would care about Ele, who would care about Zhang Xuhao?
Little Hao, you might as well scram.
Including the recent video conference and the emphasized importance of Youu Tea, these were purely because Zhang Tao didn’t want ituan to incorporate Cheng Zhu under its banner.
It’s a joke, everyone is about to discuss rging, definitely can’t let ituan continue to grow before the rger.
Otherwise, it’d beco even harder to negotiate and fight for our interests.
“Wang wants six parts and I take four, ha,” Zhang Tao looked at the sunset outside the window, his face showing a cold smile.
“Keep dreaming!”
This was an outco he couldn’t accept; he even felt that Wang was getting a bit overconfident.
In the current situation, even Alibaba pays less attention to you; seeing you ripe, they’d think about slaughtering you, yet you still want six parts here?
You really are a true fucking ‘old six,’ aren’t you!
Brother Tao thought that taking six was fair and just, and if Wang was sensible, this 60-40 split rging model would be great.
For Zhang Tao, the only variable now among all who entered the ga was Tencent’s attitude.
The rolling montum had started, no one could stop it.
The direction of the future, actually mainly relied on a mont’s thought by Tencent, on how Tencent viewed it.
But…
Is that really the only variable?
In the current situation, there was another unimpressive new entrant.
