Force me to be reborn, right?

Chapter 543 A Terrifying Number
Long Wei: “???”

You didn’t answer my call. Are you drunk?
He called Zhang Tao again, but the other party still didn't answer!
This made Long Wei quite speechless.

At this moment, he has already obtained the data.

“The user overlap rate between MiTuan and Dianping is only 18%!”

Although he had always guessed that the data would be very good, he didn't expect it to be this good!

Long Wei just had a phone call with Wang Xin. Both of them were very excited and their tones were quite excited.

You should know that at present, MiTuan has about 3 million registered users.

Dianping has about 2 million registered users.

With such low user overlap
If this is merged, won’t it take off right away?
"If this data is thrown at their dinner table, the three of them will have nothing to talk about!" This is what Long Wei thought in his heart.

——Our financial future is bright!
But it was very annoying that Zhang Tao didn't answer the phone.

"Under normal circumstances, there is no reason for him not to answer my call." Long Wei frowned.

What he didn't know was that Taozi not only hung up the call twice, but also covered his phone in annoyance, with the screen facing down, on the dining table.

His scalp was tingling, his hair stood on end, and he felt a chill all over his body. He had no time to talk about anything else.

"Wang Xin isn't really that fucking sinister, is he?" This is what Zhang Tao is most concerned about right now.

What Cheng Zhu said sounded really outrageous at first, but he was able to connect all the time together and give a reasonable explanation for Wang Xin's series of incredible operations!

What’s more, although Alibaba’s reputation in investment was not yet known to the world in 15, Zhang Tao is not an ordinary person after all, he is an insider!
My brother Tao has also heard a little about Ali's nature.

"Ali is generous and happy to give money!"

“But there are too many subsequent incidents!”

He has always been very fortunate that the financial backer behind him is Penguin.

You should know that Alibaba previously required MiTuan to set Alipay as the only third-party payment channel, and this news was also circulated in a small circle within the circle.

"I guess it was at that time that Lao Wang started to rebel?"

"Did he want to rebel at that time?" The more Zhang Tao thought about it, the colder his spine became.

From a certain perspective, Wang Xin does have some qualities of a hero.

This attribute is not possessed by Zhang Tao, who has a completely different personality.

Brother Tao is actually quite literary and reads books every day. That is why when he first started [Dianping], he originally wanted to go the publishing route and planned to print food books instead of doing online restaurant ratings.

Therefore, he is really a little scared now!
Although Cheng Zhu didn't explain it clearly, as a big shot in the business world, how could Zhang Tao not understand it?
——Oh no, he wants to snatch my godfather from me!
He also wants to join my financial sponsor, Penguin!
It’s over, someone is coming to compete for my favor, damn it!
At this moment, Taozi looked up at his brother Cheng, drank the wine in the glass, and wondered: "How did you take this as a prerequisite from the beginning and then make deductions?"

"Didn't you say that Mi Tuan went to Ali for help, but Ali not only refused to help him, but also wanted to suck his blood? Didn't you all want to make fun of Wang Xin and gloat over his misfortune at that time?" Cheng Zhu spread his hands.

"Hey! You can't say that. How can you be gloating over someone else's misfortune? It's not that bad!" Zhang Xuhao still had the mood to continue cooperating with Cheng Zhu on the sidelines.

Zhang Tao quickly raised his hand to signal him to stop making jokes. He looked puzzled and asked, "Do you think Wang Xin will break up with Alibaba because of this incident?"

"This incident is actually a signal. There are only two options before him. Either he gives up his rice group in the future, takes the money and leaves, or he has to find another way." Cheng Zhu said.

"I think most people would definitely choose first and then think of a solution, right? When they are at their wits' end, they would give up the company they have worked so hard for, right?"

"Then, didn't Wang Xin go to Shenzhen City to look for the penguin?"

“This makes me more certain of my initial guess.”

Zhang Tao was silent upon hearing this, and lowered his head in thought.

Since Zhang Xuhao had communicated with Cheng Zhu before, he thought that he was just playing tricks on Zhang Tao, so what he said now went in one ear and out the other, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

The information the two of them obtained from Cheng Zhu was asymmetric.

Cheng Zhu's words in front of them were also inconsistent.

The reason is very simple. As mentioned before, he doesn't want Zhang Xuhao to think he is scary because this will make people feel fearful.

However, he wanted Zhang Tao to have this emotion!

So, when he was talking at this moment, he frequently used three words - I think!

This made Zhang Tao couldn't help but look up at the young man sitting next to him.

"He keeps saying it. I think!"

"He was imagining Wang Xin's next move according to his own ideas."

"This actually indirectly shows that if he were the founder of Mi Tuan, he would make the same choice as Wang Xin!!"

"He will also choose to go all out and betray Ali directly!"

Zhang Tao looked at the young man beside him who had naturally slightly upturned eyebrows, angular cheeks, and a smile on his face, and he felt endless complex emotions in his heart.

"A madman comparable to Wang Xin!"

"No! Wang Xin wasn't this crazy when he was young! He didn't have the courage to be this crazy!"

In a high-end residential area in Shanghai, Long Wei waited for a long time for Zhang Tao to return his call.

After hesitating for a while, he chose to fight again.

This time the call was connected.

But before he could even open his mouth, he heard Zhang Tao say, "I'm talking about something right now. Let's talk later. I'll call you back."

"Beep beep beep beep."

——Hang up.

Long Wei again: "."

No! You! Damn it!

When he was in a meeting at Ele.me, his first impression of Cheng Zhu was quite ordinary. He felt that Cheng Zhu was very handsome and tall, and seemed to be of a different style from us entrepreneurs.

Even Chen Ou, who is considered a handsome guy in the entrepreneurial circle, has a big gap with him.

Apart from that, I didn't see him behave in any way during the meeting, he seemed quite calm.

All of this seemed to have nothing to do with the word "weird" that Zhang Tao kept muttering!

But now he has indirectly sensed the evil of this young man!
"Is he brainwashing Zhang Tao?"

"You can't even answer my phone calls!?"

Please, this is not working hours. I have received three calls in a row. There must be something wrong, and it must not be a trivial matter!
Can this be put back a little bit?
What are you talking about?

Long Wei even wanted to drive over there to listen himself.

In the end, he chose to pick up his phone and send a WeChat message.

In this way, Zhang Tao can see the data as long as he looks at his mobile phone.

"The user overlap rate between us and MiTuan is 18.36%." Long Wei began to interfere.

After sending the WeChat message, he opened his hands, placed his arms flat on the sofa cushions, and crossed his legs.

"No matter how evil you are, it's useless. I will exorcise the evil spirit from Zhang Tao!"

In the restaurant box, Zhang Tao's cell phone vibrated, but he didn't even look at it.

The three of them were still communicating in depth.

"In fact, your guess cannot be finally verified for the time being, but it is also a possibility because it completely makes sense." Zhang Tao affirmed Cheng Zhu.

Zhang Xuhao asked at the right moment: "What did Boss Bao say that day?"

"Boss Bao? What else can he say!" Zhang Tao smiled bitterly and said, "Of course he is talking to us from a macroeconomic perspective and telling us about the embarrassing situation of the current group buying company!"

"You need to know what these words mean when they come out of Bao Fan's mouth!"

"Among the top 20 new economy companies in China, 15 are advised by Bao Fan's Huaxing Capital."

"There are only a few companies that can be called unicorns, and the company he is in charge of accounts for more than 50% of the total market value of domestic unicorn companies!"

Zhang Tao, under the influence of alcohol, became more and more sad as he spoke: "He said the group buying situation is embarrassing, then the group buying is embarrassing!"

A top boss of this level in the capital circle, if he speaks negatively about an industry, the capital in the circle will start to become pessimistic about it!
Even if you have an idea, you will become hesitant!

Just because he is the boss of Huaxing Capital, just because he is Bao Fan!

What's more, he is not shooting at random.

How is the current situation of group buying? How could Taozi not know?

The Thousand Regiments War period was nothing but a false prosperity!
Zhang Xuhao and Cheng Zhu looked at each other, and he continued to ask questions.

“But if they merge, judging from the current situation of Dianping and MiTuan, MiTuan will definitely be the dominant one.”

"Did Mr. Bao, the 'King of Mergers and Acquisitions', ever mention any details?" he asked.

Zhang Tao shook his head.

He continued to smile bitterly: "I was sitting with Wang Xin the other day, and we talked about the future of the group buying market and the money-burning experience of the past few years. We almost hugged each other and cried!"

Not to mention, Brother Tao was also humorous. Cheng Zhu sat aside and listened, but said in his heart: "No wonder I heard some news in my previous life, saying that when Bao Fan organized the party, he made Wang Xin and Zhang Tao cry. When the two recalled the experience of burning money, they shed tears on the scene."

I guess you were just joking, right, and then it spread?
Brother Tao poured himself a glass of wine and said frankly, "If we really want to merge, I guess it won't be easy to talk about it. I guess Wang Xin's bottom line is 60% to 40% with me, 60% for him and 40% for me."

"After all, MiTuan's market share and company valuation are there."

After saying that, he couldn't help but look at Cheng Zhu again.

To be honest, during this period, [Dianping] and [Are You Hungry] were able to stand up and be so strong, thanks to Cheng Zhu's strong joining.
"It's 60-40." Zhang Xuhao said, and then there was no further news.

He thinks this number is reasonable.

To be honest, a 6:4 ratio is considered a small concession made by the rice group.

After all, Dianping just followed its penguin father to invest in Are You Hungry?, but Are You Hungry? does not belong to Dianping.

Unlike Mituan, Mituan is involved in a very wide range of O2O industries.

Taking all things combined, the market share of Mituan and Dianping is close to 2:1.

The two companies are also valued at $70 billion and $40 billion.

In fact, there is quite a disparity.

Cheng Zhu heard this, but he disagreed.

Why does he feel that Wang Xin really has a bit of the vibe of the male protagonist in online novels?

It’s because this person is really awesome, and he is capable of doing what others cannot do for his own ambitions and aspirations!

The merger of Mituan and Dianping, according to the normal trajectory of the previous life, the ratio is 5:5!

This was something that shocked everyone in the industry and was completely unexpected.

It can be said that Wang Xin made great concessions in interests for the control of the new company!

This means that when Zhang Tao takes the money and leaves, he can get a much larger sum, and the number will be terrifying!
But Wang Xin firmly believes that the current concessions are only temporary and just a small amount of money.

This guy has big dreams. He said he wants to build a company with a market value of over 100 billion US dollars. He is not just talking!

The merger of MiTuan and Dianping is an opportunity not to be missed.

Once the deal is done, your dream may come true!

Wang Xin has such incredible courage!
In reality, this kind of person is really like a big devil.

"So, no wonder Brother Tao is so cooperative. It's hard not to be moved." Cheng Zhu thought to himself.

What’s the difference between this and throwing money at others? Who wouldn’t be confused?
"We're not talking about this now, is it because this is Wang Xin's killer move?" Cheng Zhu was filled with thoughts.

After everyone chatted for another five or six minutes, Zhang Tao picked up his phone for the first time, checked the time, and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

As a result, as he stood up and opened WeChat, he stopped and froze there.

Cheng Zhu and Zhang Xuhao looked at each other, and they could see that his eyes changed in an instant!

It can’t be said to be as exaggerated as a pupil earthquake, and the business tycoon is still not that obvious, but it looks like something has happened.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xuhao asked with concern.

He and Zhang Tao have known each other for a long time.

Brother Tao didn't hide anything. We had already talked so deeply today, so there was no need to hide anything.

"Long Wei sent me the user overlap rate between us and Mi Tuan."

This instantly made Cheng Zhuyi's alarm bells ring.

"Damn, there's actually such a trick?"

After he started his own business in his previous life, he read a lot of business books and caught up on many major events in the business world.

He has also acquired companies himself and is very familiar with well-known domestic M&A cases.

"If I remember correctly, the figure in the news was 15 percent!"

A super scary number!

Due to their different development strategies, the user overlap rate between Dianping and Mituan is shockingly low, which is incredible!

"How much is it?" Zhang Xuhao asked.

"18.36%!" Zhang Tao's tone was obviously uneasy. This number was much lower than his expectations, which made the balance in his heart a little unbalanced in an instant.

“What!?” Zhang Xuhao was also confused and started to think “What the hell” in his heart.

"Eighteen percent, is that so low?"

"Then the user overlap rate between Are We Hungry and Miduan Takeout may not be as high as I thought!" Zhang Xuhao feels that this data is also of great significance to his company.

In an instant, the two Mr. Zhangs began to think about what this number actually represented!
Only Cheng Zhu cursed in his heart.

"Damn it! What a dog!"

“The news had the audacity to say it was only 15%!”

Although this is a routine operation and he would do the same, he was still amused!
Cheng Zhu's smiling face was too abrupt in the small box.

No? Are you so happy?
Zhang Tao was pleasantly surprised. He immediately felt that once the merger was completed, the capital market would have great confidence in the new company and the amount of financing would definitely be extremely high!

Zhang Xuhao was pleasantly surprised. He realized that there were still thousands of users waiting for him to compete for and conquer! The user base was much larger than he had imagined!

But why do you look happier than us?
What are you happy about? What are you happy about?

"What's wrong?" Zhang Tao asked Cheng Zhu.

Cheng Zhu raised his head, a hint of confusion appeared on his face: "Brother Tao, you don't want to go to the toilet?"

What's going on? Are you so scared that your pee is flowing back?

"Oh, I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it." Zhang Tao pushed open the door of the bathroom in the box, went in to pee first, and then calmed down.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Xuhao asked in a low voice at this time.

"Did I laugh?"

“He laughed!”

"no?"

"You obviously laughed, you even laughed out loud!"

Cheng Zhu then spread his hands slightly and said, "Okay, I'll tell you guys after Brother Tao finishes peeing. It's great news!"

When Zhang Tao came out wiping his hands with a tissue, Cheng Zhu said, "Brother Tao, this data is indeed very tempting."

"It's quite scary." Zhang Tao's head was still buzzing, and he began to feel more and more conflicted.

"Judging from the data, the benefits of a merger between the two parties will be very, very great!" Cheng Zhu said.

This left Zhang Xuhao confused.

What's going on, brother? What are you talking about?

Aren’t we here to stop the merger now?

Can we not be so impartial when talking? What's wrong with a crooked butt? I just want to ask you what's wrong with you?
Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhu immediately changed the subject: "The greater the benefit, the more willing both parties will be to cooperate. But I personally think that if Mi Tuan is more willing to cooperate, we should be calm and not be impatient."

"Why?" Zhang Tao frowned.

Generally speaking, there is really no need to rush into things like mergers.

Everyone can wait for the price.

But in reality, these century-type mergers are blitzkrieg and extremely efficient.

There’s no way, time is money!
Unify the world sooner and make a lot of money sooner.

What's more, there are other rivals eyeing us.

If the efficiency is not high, it is easy for something to go wrong along the way.

Moreover, those behind the scenes who are responsible for matchmaking certainly don't want people to change their minds again.

What we want is to cut through the mess quickly!
The power of these pushers should not be underestimated. Sometimes, we are just their "puppets".

So, Zhang Tao didn’t understand why we had to take it slow and how we could take it slow.

Just like that sentence: I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry.

This statement inexplicably deserves a beating!
However, Cheng Zhu's next words hit the nail on the head and indirectly revealed the group buying company's current fig leaf.

“Because of the rice balls.”

"There is definitely not much money left in the account!"

In an instant, a gleam of light flashed in Taozi's eyes!
