Chapter 959: Chapter 591: Cheng Zhu Behind the Curtain, Exposed Across the Internet (Part 3)
“In the future, half of Youu Tea’s earnings will likely co from the takeout platform, and that’s because we’re a popular spot; there won’t be any shortage of dine-in custors.”
“Don’t be fooled by my small share in Ele; my influence is bigger than it seems.”
“This is definitely beneficial for Youu Tea’s future developnt.”
“I’ll make sure everything is sorted steadily for you.”
“I’ve paved the way for you so you can rest easy.”
“Otherwise, you’d probably work yourself to death in the future.”
At this point, the man flashed her a smile.
Ah, only I know how to care for you best.
The proud young woman heard this and, surprisingly, made a small complaint:
“You sound just like my dad.”
…
…
Ti passed, and the acquisition process for Ele buying Baidu Takeout was underway.
Everything went as Cheng Zhu expected; Tencent wasn’t particularly interested in Baidu Takeout’s bundled sale of traffic portals, aiming to cash in unexpectedly.
Baidu’s traffic is quite high, but could it be higher than Tencent’s?
After all, the current situation differs from the past, and Alibaba and Tencent’s positions are worlds apart.
Tencent is eager for traffic monetization, while Alibaba aims to capture new traffic, adding more entry points.
Therefore, negotiations stalled at this point.
Since Ele and ituan have been crazily burning money, although Baidu Takeout ranks third, its market share is only in the teens.
The most frustrating part is Zhang Xuhao was negotiating while still aggressively spending to capture your market.
If you want to keep delaying, the value will only decrease.
Eventually, both sides made concessions.
Baidu opted for a bundled sale.
However, the term was reduced; these traffic portals were signed for two to three years.
Baidu Search was signed for only a year.
This outco was exactly what Cheng Zhu hoped to see.
“After all, in a few years, the global special period will arrive. Due to specific reasons, everyone will be stuck at ho and unable to go out, making ordering delivery challenging.”
“During that ti, for the entire delivery industry, there will be both advantages and disadvantages.”
“But these traffic portal resources will undoubtedly be useless, so there’s no need to bundle them for so many years.”
Cheng Zhu anticipated that Ele’s acquisition of Baidu Takeout would proceed smoothly.
In the past, Huaxing Capital attempted to broker a deal between ituan and Baidu Takeout.
Bao Fan wanted Wang Xin to swallow Baidu Takeout too.
But Brother Xin wasn’t interested!
Brother Xin thought Baidu’s national market share was too small and deed it worthless.
As for now, Wang probably wants to eat up Baidu Takeout.
But considering his complicated situation, dealing with internal and external troubles and seeking funds from Alibaba again would only make things harder!
In this scenario, when Boss Bao steps in, he can naturally handle matters beautifully.
Once the deal was finalized, it imdiately stunned the entire market!
Bao Fan was again in the lilight, similar to when he facilitated the Didi and Kuai Di rger.
The dia went wild, conducting various interviews and frantically reporting on the matter.
Zhang Xuhao was glowing with vitality every day, looking full of energy.
The hot-blooded Brother Hao was now in a perpetual state of excitent; even a vampire ancestor would get scalded drinking from him.
When facing dia interviews, he truly echoed the words he said to Cheng Zhu earlier.
“What’s the point of praising you over the phone?”
He chose to praise in front of the dia!
Two days later, a dia interview featuring Zhang Xuhao was published.
The main content of this interview was about Ele and Baidu Takeout.
During the interview, Zhang Xuhao graciously thanked Bao Fan and his Huaxing Capital team.
He generously praised their professional capabilities.
“This ti, we’re lucky to cooperate with Huaxing Capital and Mr. Bao Fan.”
“In this regard, I believe Mr. Bao Fan and Huaxing’s team are absolute experts.”
“Their contribution was crucial for the smooth progress.”
“Throughout the process, Mr. Bao Fan offered many suggestions, and it’s because of these suggestions that both parties reached consensus quickly.”
“So, I’d like to sincerely thank Mr. Bao Fan and Huaxing Capital again.”
Haozi set the stage.
He believed this acquisition would undoubtedly stir the business community.
With the backing of Bao Fan, this legendary figure, the impact is bound to be greater.
Everyone in this event mutually benefited.
Bao Fan himself needed to achieve feats like this; opportunities to showcase his talents are few and far between.
But is this enough?
“Is this enough?” Haozi thought.
Rember, when Brother Tao’s Dianping secured financing, relying on “a sophomore investing 35 million US dollars,” it dominated the Weibo trending list!
It directly exploded the popularity of the entire financing event!
The dia widely covered it, and major platforms were swamped.
The event’s popularity persisted for a long ti.
It was all because of Cheng Zhu’s many intriguing points!
Oh man, that ad was priceless!
Haozi: I’m envious!
Why didn’t I think of doing sothing like that when Ele was securing financing last ti?
This ti, I must seize the opportunity!
Moreover, Brother Hao genuinely wanted to push Cheng Zhu from behind the scenes to the forefront.
He was grateful to Cheng Zhu.
Initially, it was just seeking business collaborations; sohow, it turned into acquiring a genius strategist.
Praising over the phone felt really awkward, and I absolutely couldn’t say it.
But in front of the nationwide audience, I dared to speak!
Hence, after thanking Bao Fan and Huaxing Capital, Zhang Xuhao imdiately opened his mouth again, dropping a bombshell that made the dia aware there was a big story here!
“Actually, there’s soone else I must thank, or rather, soone I most need to thank.”
“Without his constant advice for and Ele, we couldn’t have reached this point.”
“In fact, the situation wasn’t initially heading this way; his help gradually turned the tide, leading everything in a positive direction and enabling Ele to now hold the number one market share nationwide, nearing 60%!” Zhang Xuhao said.
“Privately, Brother Tao and I sotis call him Think Tank.” Zhang Xuhao even brought Zhang Tao into it, increasing buzz and interest.
— That little fatty, he sure knows how to play!
The interviewer’s eyes brightened instantly; she already sensed sothing extraordinary, and imdiately asked: “So, who is he?”
Zhang Xuhao smiled, not directly revealing the answer, instead saying sothing else to elevate the buzz and interest.
Upon hearing this, the interviewer couldn’t help but tighten her grip on the recorder!
Zhang Xuhao: “I can tell you who he is, but please don’t disturb him too much; he’s been busy with his company’s affairs and his studies.”
A person influencing the dostic takeout industry from behind the scenes while managing… college studies?!
