Chapter 859: Chapter 551: Then Let’s Do It
“ituan… is running out of money?”
Cheng Zhu’s words echoed in the private room, making Zhang Xuhao beside him involuntarily feel a jolt in his heart, his expression becoming excited!
Cheng Zhu put his hand on the small Moutai glass and began to express his viewpoint.
“The last ti ituan had financing was publicly announced in early January this year.”
“But now it’s already August!”
“In the past six months, ituan hasn’t had any new financing!”
“And last month, ituan spent tens of millions of US dollars to acquire Kuxun, improving its layout in hotels and tourism.”
“Although this makes ituan’s current layout and industry chain very comprehensive and covers the broadest areas, the expenses are too high!”
“Plus, they’ve been burning money like crazy during this period, frantically grabbing the market, as if it’s a final battle.”
“How much money can they have left in the account, how many more hundred million RMB?”
Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao exchanged glances, their heartbeats starting to race wildly.
Brother Hao’s blood, which had been gradually cooling recently, suddenly boiled!
For Ele, isn’t this a good ti to attack ituan Takeout?
After all, Ele’s F-round financing just happened recently, and there’s still Cheng Zhu’s 20 million US dollars.”
“ituan only raised 700 million US dollars in January, and it’s already been burned for half a year.”
“But Ele just raised over 600 million US dollars last month!”
“You think you have more money than ?” Hot-blooded Brother Hao’s face started to turn red, with a small figure in his heart clenching its fists, veins popping, roaring:
“I have money!”
With great financial strength, I’m the one with deep pockets now!
You used to think of as Little Hao, now I’m your Brother Hao!
As for Zhang Tao, his thoughts were more nurous and more complex.
Alongside his excitent, an endless fear arose in his heart, a chilling feeling sweeping over him once more.
Wang Xin has been setting up smokescreens for !
Yes, the reason Taozi and Little Hao hadn’t thought in this direction was that Wang Xin always showed that they weren’t short on money, as if Alibaba would always provide strong support.
Be it acquisitions or burning money on subsidies, the main strategy was one of having nothing to fear.
Zhang Tao even felt: “After Wang Xin slightly backstabbed Alibaba, Alibaba might pamper him more and be more willing to give him money!”
—Kids who cry get candy!
And also… Wang Xin seed too uncontrollable.
In this situation, Alibaba surely wants to invest more money to have a higher shareholding, enhancing its control over ituan.
In fact, Tencent’s stake in Dianping was much higher than Alibaba’s in ituan!
Wang Xin always managed to control and reduce Alibaba’s influence on ituan.
Brother Tao having such a thought process is actually quite normal.
But… this is the trap set by the neighbor Wang, this is the effect that the neighbor Wang wants!
But today is different, today Cheng Zhu proposed a bold hypothesis—ituan wants to compete with you for Daddy!
If Wang Xin really wanted to take this opportunity to embrace Tencent’s Daddy, that would be sothing else.
Cheng Zhu looked at Zhang Tao, not forgetting to drop a harsh line!
“Brother Tao, if ituan doesn’t have much money in its account now, and you rge with it at this ti…”
“You might end up operating the new company with all the money from your account, hahaha!”
…
…
In the private room, Taozi’s mouth twitched slightly.
Cheng Zhu’s words made him feel too uncomfortable.
Are you kidding? After the rger, you’d expect to spend all my money?
Wouldn’t I be a fool then?
But in fact, in the past life, that’s exactly how it happened with Dianping, becoming such a “fool.”
Wang Xin’s tricky maneuver was extrely successful, ultimately rging with Dianping when ituan’s funds were nearly depleted, and he had control over the new company!
Of course, this is one reason why the rger eventually ended with a fifty-fifty share ratio.
Dianping’s only advantage at that stage was having spare cash.
“But now, the situation has changed!” Cheng Zhu thought to himself.
Under the butterfly effect of his reborn self, the rger plan advanced by several months compared to the previous life.
The large-scale money burning by ituan also happened earlier.
Zhang Tao didn’t have the sa late realization as before, discovering sothing amiss during the rger process!
By then…
—It’s too late, everything is too late!
At that stage, Zhang Tao had already been firmly pressed to the rger negotiation table by many strong behind-the-scenes forces.
You have no right to leave the table on your own!
When they tell you to negotiate, you negotiate!
These big hands will hold you tightly in your seat, unable to move an inch.
The only thing you can do is to try to secure so benefits for yourself during the negotiation.
At that ti, no matter how much Zhang Tao regretted, there would be no room for reconsideration.
But now there’s still a lot of room for maneuver.
Especially since Cheng Zhu chose very good teammates, teaming up with Hot-blooded Brother Hao!
At this mont, Zhang Xuhao even took the lead over Zhang Tao.
—I, Brother Hao, am attacking ituan!
“I’m planning to continue burning against ituan Takeout in the near future, no, I’m going to increase the intensity of burning money.”
“Besides, I think this is a good opportunity to target the [lower-tier market], what do you all think?”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhu imdiately nodded to show his support.
That’s exactly the effect he wanted!
“The lower-tier market of third and fourth-tier cities is Wang Xin’s main base; his ground promotion is indeed impressive, and the people in his company are all battle-hardened after the Thousand Troupe War, but no matter what, the premise is that they must have money!” Cheng Zhu echoed.
