Chapter 1388: The humble gentleman Robin Lee

   Chapter 1388 The humble gentleman Robin Lee

   After receiving Xia Jingxing's order, Zhang Yong immediately accelerated the pace of acquiring Kugou Music.

   Like Tudou, Kugou Music also has a shareholder who invested a lot of money in the early days of the company and holds a large number of shares in the company. Its name is Vision Capital.

   The person in charge of the VC department of Envision Capital in mainland China is Rao Lei. He has contributed a lot to the acquisition of Kugou Music by domestic holdings, and has been doing the ideological work of the founder Xie Zhenyu.

   Originally, Xie Zhenyu was about to nod his head to agree to sell the company, but the domestic holding group was suddenly interrupted by rumors from the outside world.

   Now that Zhang Yong has received a definite answer from Xia Jingxing, he is no longer afraid, and it took only a week to quickly finalize the Kugou Music acquisition.

   Domestic Holding Group spent 400 million RMB to acquire 100% equity of Kugou Music at a premium, bringing this music player software under its command.

  Compared with video websites that are on the cusp of entrepreneurship, the business monetization model of music player software has always been questioned and criticized by the venture capital community.

Don't even think about charging membership fees. Even the advertising price is not as good as a video website that is more conducive to display and delivery. At the same time, it has often been plagued by copyright lawsuits in the past two years. Therefore, the company's valuation is not high, and its development prospects are not special. This is also an important reason why Xie Zhenyu is willing to let go of the company he founded.

   Domestic Holding Group did not issue any additional equity in the acquisition of Kugou Music, and all cash was used for the entire acquisition.

  Because of several popular online games in hand, the domestic holding group has almost no shortage of cash flow now. It is easy to spend several hundred million yuan, and there is no financial pressure at all.

  At the same time as the acquisition of Kugou Music, Zhang Yong also arranged for the registration and establishment of a new company called Hainei Literature, taking the first step of building a self-made original online literature website.

   The domestic holding group, which has been hailed as the "public enemy of the whole industry", is being watched by people who care about its every move.

   Soon, the acquisition of Kugou Music and the establishment of domestic literature, these two major moves of domestic holdings were exposed, causing an uproar in the industry!

   Domestic Holdings floated away!

   This was everyone's first reaction.

   It’s like they don’t take the collaboration between Penguin Weibo and the four major Internet companies in their eyes!

   At the same time, it also seriously illustrates a problem. The outside world's accusation that "the expansion of domestic holding groups has no boundaries" has not slowed down the expansion of Asia's richest man in China's Internet industry, not even a pause!

  Is this the platoon of Mr. Xia, the richest man in Asia? The subtext is that you are all garbage, and together you are still a pile of garbage, not even a stumbling block, and you are not worthy of stopping me.

   Just as people were talking about this and discussing President Xia's domineering, there were also some critical voices.

   "Once you get too confident, it becomes conceit!"

   "Instead of addressing the huge threat posed by Penguin Weibo, it has expanded into two new industries. I think that Haihai Holdings will have a lot of trouble in the future."

   "The main business of social networking is unstable, what is the pan-entertainment strategy to talk about? I think this is to lose the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds, and the bamboo basket to draw water is empty, and neither business can be good."

  …

  Enterprise strategists and social commentators have been bad-mouthing, expressing that they are not optimistic about the next development of Domestic Holdings.

Many netizens think that President Xia may have really drifted away this time. Before the Weibo battlefield has established a decisive advantage, he has rashly opened several new battlefields, which is simply crazier than the head of state. Xia Jingxing is almost declaring war on the whole industry...

   This declaration of war on the whole industry is no exaggeration.

  Take Hainei.com and Weibo for example, as the backbone of social networking, the two websites are in full swing with Penguin and are in full swing;

   And domestic games have been crowned this year, becoming the new online game overlord, attracting the jealousy and jealousy of a lot of game manufacturers such as Shanda, NetEase, and Sohu;

  In the online video industry where Tudou is located, Sohu Video has been sharpening its knife, while Shanda is watching;

   There is also the online music industry where Kugou Music is located, and Qianxun, the industry overlord who built MP3 search based on the acquisition of Qianqianjing a few years ago, is facing up again, adding another powerful enemy;

  The establishment of domestic literature, it is foreseeable that it will inevitably become a thorn in the eyes of Shanda literature, and focus on the target;

  …

Looking at the domestic market, except for the e-commerce websites such as Ali, Jingxi and Dangdang, the overlords and start-up companies in other Internet sub-sectors are all bordering the control territory of domestic holdings, and some companies are still bordering several places, such as Sohu, Shanda and penguins.

   Therefore, it is really hard for everyone to like this new neighbor who is rich, resourceful and famous.

   In this case, the joint dispatch of troops by the four major Internet companies seems to be a political correctness for heaven.

Even an entrepreneur who hates Penguin's plagiarism style on weekdays can only stand on the big flag raised by the other party, pinching his nose and praising: Penguin's Weibo counterattack is good, it is time to teach the big stomach king a good lesson Domestic holding group.

  In this way, the domestic holding group officially likes to mention many titles such as "public enemy of the whole industry", "big stomach king", "company without expansion boundary" and so on.

   Not to mention how happy the Big Four Internet companies and Li Yikai are for the act of domestic holdings, which almost aroused disgust and resistance from the entire industry, and at the same time set off the justice of their joint action.

   Take Chen Tianqiao, who has suffered from "panic disorder" for the past two years, as an example. After learning that Hai Nei Holdings established Hai Nei Literature, his condition has worsened a lot.

   After Shanda Games gave way to domestic games, he was unwilling to see Shanda literature subverted by domestic literature again.

   Exasperated and anxious, Chen Tianqiao fell ill.

After    Luo Qianqian explained the simple arrangement to the company executives on his behalf, he accompanied her husband to Singapore for treatment.

  Although it has encountered several setbacks, Shanda's remaining wealth is still very solid.

  It is a pity that the soul of this company can no longer devote himself to the surging tide of Internet development due to his poor health.

   Coincides with the critical period of the transformation of the mobile Internet in the past few years. When the former trendsetters began to hide behind the scenes, Shanda, a legendary Internet company, was destined to become sullen, and it was a glorious curtain call.

  When Shanda became less and less present, an Internet company in Beijing was in high spirits to end the battle on this track and began to turn its attention to other tracks.

  …

  …

  Go to the ground, search box building.

  Robin Lee looked at the just-completed headquarters building in front of him with a wavy appearance, and nodded secretly. It was quite artistic and was the ideal building in his mind.

Among the several Qianxun executives who accompanied him, a man in his thirties wearing glasses looked at the building and said with a smile, "Such a beautiful building is not bad compared to the headquarters of a Silicon Valley company. , it should be the only one!

  I want to say that when we move into the building, we will also publish a hero post and invite the media to be a witness to see who is the real top Internet company in China.

   We used to be too low-key. Some companies that didn’t even have a headquarters building, and were still crowded into a small building in Zhongguancun, boasted that they were China’s largest Internet company. "

   The people around showed smiles one after another, and everyone knew who this meant.

   But having said that, the domestic holding group has been extremely high-profile during this period of time, and it has entered various fields, as if it does not care about the heroes of the world, which makes this group of arrogant soldiers who have just defeated the mighty Google very unhappy.

  From market value, to technology, to revenue and net profit, Qianxun is the brightest star in China's Internet.

  Some companies have only been established for three or four years, and even the social war has not ended.

  Robin Li turned his head and glanced at the executives, and finally put his eyes on the male executive who spoke, and said, "Hailong, don't be too proud!"

Having said that, Robin Li pointed to a towering building not far from Qianxun Building and the headquarters of the Conscience Group, and said, "See? Others' headquarters are much more stylish than ours. "

   Zhang Hailong glanced at the two buildings that had reached the 30th or 40th floor, and said with a smile, "This is the Fuxing Building, not the Hainei Building."

  Robin Li said lightly: "Is there a difference? It's an industry controlled by one person."

Zhang Hailong started his business as soon as he graduated from University, and later obtained the general agent right of Qianxun Bidding Ranking Magic City. In just a few years, it has developed into the largest online marketing agency in Magic City, and is also the most powerful agent in Qianxun's channel system. business.

Four years ago, his company was acquired by Qianxun's fancy, and he also changed his body from an agent to the general manager of Qianxun Modu Branch. After that, he rose to the position of vice president of sales of Qianxun, responsible for the company's bidding. Ranked business's national sales management jobs.

   Such a person is shrewd and strong, and his behavior is also very bold.

   He understood the meaning of the big boss Robin Li, and he was afraid of Xia Jingxing's comprehensive strength, so he prepared to seize the opportunity to show it, and replied, "Robin, I think there is still a difference."

  Robin Lee didn't get angry because Zhang Hailong refuted his words, but got a little interest, and raised his chin to signal the other party to continue.

   Zhang Hailong expounded his point of view without being humble or arrogant: "Although Xia Jingxing is the richest man in Asia, and he has a giant company like Fuxing Industry in his hands, he still cannot change the fact that the foundation of domestic holdings is still very weak.

   Especially recently, the massive expansion of domestic holdings has caused public outrage in the industry.

  Maybe our richest man thinks that everyone and the company are scumbags and vulnerable, but the reality is that domestic holdings have made enemies and leaks everywhere! "

   "Then what kind of air leakage method do you talk about?"

  Robin Lee has a warm and jade-like smile on his face, full of the style of a modest gentleman.

   But those who are familiar with him know that the one in front of him is a smiling tiger. Don't think that others are harmless just because he is smiling at you.

  Ari has eighteen Arhats, and Penguin has five tiger generals. Have you heard of Spirited Away Seven Swordsmen?

  The Seven Swordsmen are now safe?
