LRAB Chapter 330
Chapter 330
Whether in the future or in this life, Zhou Jiangnan always feels the same about the Greater Bay Area.
This place is a fucking paradise for making money.
On the streets and alleys, everyone is talking about making money.
Anything involving business is done with high efficiency, worthy of being the son created by the Republic.
The cooperation between Schindler and Penguin was finalized on the same day.
Penguin invested 50 million US dollars and obtained 15% of the equity of Schindler Takeaway.
Originally, Zhou Jiangnan wanted to sign a bet agreement. If Schindler Takeaway defeated Magnesium Group by the end of the year and achieved a market share of more than 70%, then Penguin would only get 10% of the shares.
On the contrary, if the goal was not achieved, Penguin would get 20% of the shares.
A group of senior executives were speechless.
It has always been the investors who are worried about the loss of interests due to inaccurate valuation and put forward bets. It is rare to see the financing party take the initiative to jump out and ask for a bet, which is outrageous.
The more Zhou Jiangnan was stingy with his shares, the less Ma wanted to sign the bet agreement. After some wrangling, they simply compromised:
50 million US dollars for 15% of the shares.
That was it.
After Wang Jialu and the other party's legal affairs reviewed the contract text, the two parties signed an investment cooperation agreement.
Looking at Zhou Jiangnan, who looked a little unhappy, Ma smiled and invited him to lunch.
During the meal, there was another analysis of the future Internet market. Zhou Jiangnan did not reveal the future trends such as mobile short videos, live streaming, and AI intelligence.
Generally speaking, when you meet for the first time, it is right to chat about the other party's expertise.
He had no intention of getting involved in the field of social software, so he expressed some views on the future in this topic.
At this time, the idea of WeChat had not been proposed. Zhou Jiangnan tried to find out from the side and found that Ma Ge had not thought of this yet, so he simply did a favor and provided some creativity.
This really confused Brother Ma. He was surprised and said:
"Boss Zhou, I am a dozen years older than you, so I call you my brother. Do you know what impact your genius idea will have on the social field if it is realized? Have you ever thought of entering such a big market?"
"I know, but everyone has their own expertise. Even if I don't bring it up, with your keen judgment, you will think of this in a few years. It's better to do a favor."
Zhou Jiangnan and Boss Ma sat at a table alone.
Wang Jialu and other executives sat a little further away and couldn't hear what was said here, but they knew they were having a good chat by looking at their faces.
"There are many opportunities in the future world, and the money made on the Internet is endless. I have to focus on the group purchase of takeout now, and I don't have the energy to do this. But if you haven't started in three years, don't blame me for being unethical..."
Boss Ma laughed, and there was finally some appreciation in his eyes. He smiled and said:
"It's okay if I didn't think of it before, but now that I know, of course I'll rush to take it for myself."
"So, I came here with sincerity, and you only gave me 50 million. Am I losing a lot?"
"Hahaha, Brother Zhou is really an interesting guy People, 50 million is just the first step of investment, and we can add more later depending on the situation. "
Mr. Ma's eyes condensed, and he continued: "You are right, two horses compete for food, one step behind will fall behind step by step, in the field of group purchase takeout, I will never allow Penguin to be an outsider."
"Whether you believe it or not, I am really here to do a one-time deal this time. I only give you one chance to invest in shares. After a while, I can hold on by myself and won't need investment."
Zhou Jiangnan smiled and joked: "So do you want to consider turning 50 million into 100 million?"
Little Brother Ma smiled but said nothing.
How could he know that what Zhou Jiangnan said was true? This high-intensity money-burning war would last at most a year or two, and it would be unbearable after a long time.
Not to mention the pain of both competing parties burning money, the country will not sit idly by and watch the market continue to be chaotic, or a single company will dominate and form a monopoly.
Zhou Jiangnan predicted that the winner would be decided by June next year at the latest.
Penguin's 50 million investment is enough to last until the end of the year.
But before the end of the year, his stocks in the stock market will reach the highest point. From 2005 to 2007, the highest increase of Jiangxi Copper reached more than 100 times.
With the 10 million spare money he invested in the stock market, he can at least reap 700 million or 800 million leeks.
With this money, he can burn it with Magnesium Group until next year.
Moreover, in the fight between the two sides, the stage of burning money is not profitable. Jiangnan Mingyue can continue to generate blood, what can Magnesium Group do?
Rely on e-commerce to transfuse investment? If that's the case, just keep burning it.
When you can't burn it anymore, ask Xiao Ma Ge for additional investment.
…Each of them had their own thoughts.
Mr. Ma suddenly changed the subject: "I am more interested in the future mobile social software you mentioned. I am going to set up a project to do this project... You do your group buying, I do my social, we hit it off, how about cross-holding the two softwares?"
"I don't have the money to invest in reverse."
"Hahaha, I recognize your strategic vision, and there are many merits in the product ideas you mentioned. In this era, creativity is value. You can be my special product consultant and help me make it, and I will give you a point."
"Really?"
Zhou Jiangnan was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Ma Ge now doesn't know what 1% means, but in another ten years, it will be tens of billions.
But after a moment, he laughed at himself.
Let alone ten years, he will be worth tens of billions in one or two years, so why would he care about tens of billions in ten years?
Agree to it, just as a good relationship with Xiao Ma Ge.
Now I will rely on his power to survive and make group buying takeout.
After two years of gaining a firm foothold, I will launch a large-scale e-commerce group buying project to poach the e-commerce department.
Zhou Jiangnan even thought with evil humor that Xunda's future e-commerce project would be called Pinyidao.
If you are a friend, come and help me cut a knife.
The e-commerce boss cut him before, and I will cut him back sooner or later!
A gentleman's revenge is never too late, but Zhou Jiangnan's revenge is too late for one day.
The two clinked glasses to reach a tacit understanding.
After the urgent problem was solved, Zhou Jiangnan was full of confidence and was ready to slap Magnet in the face.
So that afternoon.
Xunda Technology Headquarters announced that the company had reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Penguin Group. Penguin invested 50 million US dollars to buy a stake in Xunda Takeaway, and jointly built a good ecology for the group buying industry.
As soon as the news came out, Magnet Group's boss, who was drinking coffee, was so angry that he smashed the cup.
Damn, damn penguin.
Just when Xunda Takeaway was about to be hammered to death and the coffin lid was about to be hammered, Penguin came out to stir up trouble.
This guy just likes to go against the e-commerce department, right?
"I'm so stupid, really... I only know that Big Brother Ma is powerful and can make the final decision. I ignored Little Brother Ma's ability to stir up trouble. They are rivals."
Old Wang was so angry that he was shaking.
