Rebirth begins with e-commerce

Luo Xiu looked at the huge sum of $2.8 billion, and for a moment, he felt like he didn't have to work hard.

He spent a lot of energy on food delivery, live broadcast platforms, and mobile payments, but these have never been profitable.

Instead, I made a lot of money back in a very casual investment.

In the evening, when Luo Xiu and Li Shan and the others were having dinner together, they joked: "I have money now. I buy two bowls of soy milk, drink one bowl, and pour one bowl!"

Li Shan said: "Buy two buns, eat one, throw one."

Zhao Jianye asked in confusion: "What era are you talking about crosstalk? Is it a bit exposing my age? If I really can't spend all the money, I'll buy a few tea eggs."

"When did the tea eggs have a stalk?" Luo Xiu asked in confusion.

Now he occasionally feels a sense of time and space disorder, and sometimes he can't figure out whether an emotion has happened in the past or will happen in the future.

"You can forget this new meme last year?"

"Oh, I remembered it." Luo Xiu said with a smile, "Some time ago, my father-in-law sent two pounds of Pu'er tea. It is said that tens of thousands of yuan per pound. My prodigal wife actually took it to cook tea eggs. At that time, I scolded her, can tea eggs be cooked with such cheap tea leaves?"

"For the freedom of tea eggs, Brother Xiu, you have to keep working hard!"

Luo Xiu waved his hand, "To be honest, I haven't figured out how to spend the 2.8 billion yuan."

"Why don't you buy our company's biological island? Be an island owner." Li Shan suggested.

"I'm afraid this island will take one or two billion to get it."

“Build the best university in the country?”

"Not to mention the best in the country, ordinary universities may cost 100 billion."

"Go to plant trees and turn the Northwest into an Amazon forest?"

"This trillion won't happen." Luo Xiu sighed, "It seems that we are still too poor!"

"Then Brother Xiu, you have to continue working hard to achieve tea egg freedom as soon as possible."

“Cheers to tea eggs for free!”

...

In fact, Luo Xiu had already planned how to spend all the money.

The reason why he took over Uber's equity so quickly was not only for the security of the capital, but also for the start-up capital of Tiktok.

As the overseas version of Tiktok, tiktok is one of the few Internet products that can achieve such great achievements overseas.

In just two or three years, the number of users has increased at an astonishing rate, which has also made Internet companies such as Google and Facebook feel a huge crisis.

And it has always been sought after by generations of Z.

Generation z is the main force in future consumption, and having them means having the future.

In the original history, tiktok's overseas journey was not smooth.

It was banned in India and almost forced to sell it at a low price in the United States.

The founder has never encountered such a thing, and his choice has been shaking.

Luo Xiu is going to do tiktok now, and the difficulties and challenges he faces will definitely not be missing.

But no matter how difficult it is, he must do it.

Our Internet companies cannot always fight in the house, they must always go abroad.

Earning money from one's own people is not a big skill, having the ability to earn money from foreigners.

Luo Xiu has always wanted to be a global company, rather than just scrambling with vegetable farmers in China to eat.

...

In the original history, domestic Douyin was only launched in 2016, and then became popular all over the country in a very short period of time.

ByteDance then created the international version of Tiktok in 2017, which caused a whirlwind of short videos around the world.

In fact, in 2014, a music short video application called musical.ly was born in the United States.

Users quickly create 15 seconds mv by combining the videos they shot with music library music.

musical.ly quickly gained the popularity of a large number of users, with more than 100 million users worldwide and more than 20 million daily active users.

In 2017, Toutiao acquired musical.ly for $1 billion and transferred its users to its own tiktok.

It can be said that tiktok's success is largely due to the injection of musical.ly users.

In the future, Trump also used this as a reason to restart the investigation into this acquisition.

Luo Xiu does not want to follow the old path of headlines now, but instead set up tiktok abroad in advance to compete with musical.ly for the short video market.

At the same time, it also gives yourself more time to grow and settle.

Give yourself more time to prepare, win over more forces, and compete with those old Internet companies.

The United States does not completely exclude foreign assets. In fact, many of them on the list of rich people are not American nationality.

Capital has no borders, and anyone can make money from him, as long as you fit the way they do things.

...

After Luo Xiu made up his mind, he decided to fly to the United States again and open his first company there.

This time he did not let Guan Shiyu go with him, after all, eggs cannot be placed in a basket.

It is said that some large family businesses have internal regulations that senior management is not allowed to take the same plane.

When the couple go out together, they must take two planes separately to avoid accidents.

No wonder in the story, those who sacrifice love for love are usually poor couples.

No matter how much a rich man is more in love than gold, he cannot die until he is alone. He will die separately.

...

The flight of more than ten hours gave Luo Xiu the urge to buy his own private plane again.

Nowadays, business trips are getting more and more frequent, and having an airplane can make you feel more comfortable.

As soon as Luo Xiu got off the plane, he saw two FBI agents strode over.

Looking at the two strong agents in FBI uniforms, Luo Xiu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

He read a book called "The American Trap".

In 2013, Frederick Pierucci, the global head of the boiler department of the French Alstom Group, was arrested by FBI agents as soon as he got off the plane.

At that time, Alstom Group was known as the jewel of French industry and was the most proud enterprise of the French.

However, from 2013 to 2014, the United States arrested several Alstom executives in a row and threatened with sky-high fines, intending to toughen the acquisition of Alstom at a low price.

At that time, Monterberg, Minister of the French Ministry of Economic and Industrial Revitalization, realized this, withstood the pressure and quickly passed a legislation: French pillar enterprises (energy, transportation, medical care, etc.), and foreign companies must pass the French government's consent when acquiring them.

Coincidentally, when the United States will forcefully acquire tiktok in the future, my country also quickly issued a law: a catalog of technology prohibiting exports and restricting exports.

The same way of dealing with it was different, the Minister of Economic Affairs, which France tried to resist at the time, was quickly fired, and the first thing the newly appointed minister did was to sign and agree to sell Alstom. Sure enough, no one could defeat France before France surrendered.

However, our country was not intimidated and withstood the pressure, allowing this acquisition to vanish.

It is precisely because of this that Luo Xiu has the confidence to continue to establish tiktok.

But the company has not been established yet, why did BFI come to the door?

Luo Xiu thought to himself, isn’t the version of the story like this?
