Chapter 110 The mob


Chapter 110 The mob

West Lake shore.

At the headquarters of Alibaba Group, the presidents, directors, and major shareholders of Internet companies gathered together.

There was a dead silence in the conference room. The expression on the face of Mahua Teng from the Social Department was extremely ugly. Of course, the others were not much better. Due to the joint efforts of Citizen House and Dream Company, they all faced threats to one degree or another.

Among them, the social department, the headline department, and the engine department are now in danger. Citizen's House is pressing on them step by step, and they are losing ground without the ability to fight back.

Li Yuanhong from Qiandu Company spoke first: "Don't be silent, everyone, tell us how to deal with it!"

However, many people don't know what to say, or they have other plans, such as NetEase, Sohu, Sina, Bihu, Bizhan, etc. At this time, they are planning to ride on the wall or surrender.

Although Citizen Home is very domineering, if their net profit is zero or even negative net profit, they do not need to pay the 30% fee.

But now they are waiting and watching to see what happens next.

What is really anxious are the giants in the social sector. Mahuateng is in dire straits right now. The number of users of Penguin and Chaoxin has dropped to less than 120 million.

What’s even more frightening is that 70% of these users are abandoned or dead accounts, and less than 30% are active accounts.

This incident caused Penguin Group to be hit hard on the Hong Kong stock market, with its market value evaporating by 62% in two months.

Ghost is frantically shorting domestic Internet companies in the international financial market. If you don't harvest them, others will harvest them, so you might as well do something big.

"If everyone is willing, we can cooperate with each other." Majek said while staring at the crowd.

"How to cooperate?" Li Yuanhong asked helplessly.

Majek got straight to the point and suggested: "We can also build a joint website, so that we can temporarily confront the Citizens' House."

Everyone had different expressions, some had calm faces, some had frowns, and some had twinkling eyes.

Especially the bosses of the other three major departments, they have seen Ma Jack's ambition. Among the Internet companies present, Alibaba suffered the least loss.

It is said to be a joint website, but there must be a leader. Obviously Alibaba just wants to be the leader and merge other companies into it.

Some people have said that the Penguin series is like the Alliance, the Alibaba series is like the Empire, the Qiandu series is like Guan Ningjun, and the Toutiao series are all different.

When thinking about Alibaba's style, many people have already refused to join the joint website, lest they be swallowed up by others without knowing it. They would rather join the citizen system than dock with Alibaba.

Sure enough, a number of CEOs expressed explicitly or covertly that it was okay to jointly build a website, but their respective rights and obligations must be limited. To put it bluntly, Alibaba Group was not allowed to take charge.

Ma Jack and Zhang Xiaoyao looked at each other, knowing that these old foxes were difficult to deal with, but Ali's goal was to be the leader of the martial arts alliance. If he could not be the leader of the martial arts alliance, then what was the purpose of this joint website?

"Everyone, how about we each take a step back? Alibaba promises not to interfere with your company's operations. We can also work together to formulate a reasonable framework." Ma Jieke used retreat to advance.

"It must be ensured that Qiandu needs at least 20% of the management rights among the joint websites."

"Old Li, you are too greedy, 20%? I think 5% is not bad."

"Are you not greedy for headlines? Then you can do 5%."

"You..."

The meeting room was in a mess, like a woman bargaining for food at the market. After a day of discussion, there was still not much achieved.

Alibaba demanded a minimum of 30% of the management rights, but the other three companies united to disagree, and in the end everyone broke up unhappy.

With a heavy heart, Jack Ma stood in the office and watched the company bosses leaving one after another. He was helpless and depressed: "It's a bunch of people who don't know they are about to die."

Zhang Xiaoyao, who had just walked in, hesitated and said: "Jack, I heard that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has issued a birth certificate for Dream Company's brainwave glasses. Will this matter..."

"Don't worry, the current network speed is simply not enough to support brainwave glasses, and they won't be popular for at least 10 years." Majek said confidently.

Looking at the confident Ma Jack, Zhang Xiaoyao hesitated to speak. After all, Huang Mingzhe cannot be viewed by ordinary people's standards. Google and Microsoft were caught off guard by Think Society.

However, while thinking about the problem, Jack did not see his worried expression. In the end, Zhang Xiaoyao could only pray that Citizen Home and Dream Company would give Ali time, otherwise he would not dare to imagine the future.

"Xiaoyao, we want to enhance user stickiness. We will take advantage of the current opportunity to merge Dingding into Taotao. We will merge other holding companies into it immediately."

"What about Penguin and Qiandu?"

"We go first. If we are forced, they will naturally join us."

Majek knows that his Alibaba Group is the most stable now. Unlike other companies that are not closely integrated with the real economy, as long as the fundamentals are maintained, Alibaba may not be unable to compete with the Mint Group.

After thinking about other questions, he raised his head and ordered: "Xiaoyao, you are responsible for contacting other companies. If you can, you can get one."

"Jack, can we be more relaxed about the management rights?"

Majek finally nodded: "Then relax a little and allow them to maintain independent operations."

As for what he was thinking in his heart, only he knew.

Zhang Xiaoyao immediately went to those small giant Internet companies, preparing to persuade them to join the United Website. However, very few people agreed to join the United Website. Unless they were really desperate, it would be difficult for them to make up their mind.

This Internet West Lake Summit lasted for three days, but there were few results.

Except for some small companies who were willing to join the joint website, others were unwilling to give in, and in the end only a loose alliance was reached.

After returning to the company, various companies continued to make small moves.

NetEase has been developing slowly in recent years. It even has a pig-raising business, and its games rely heavily on the special effects technology of Dream Company.

Ding Sanshi obviously didn't want to offend Dream Company. After he came back from West Lake, he had been thinking about some issues.

Looking at an analysis report, which was about the technology launched by Thinking Society in recent years, Ding Sanshi did not dare to underestimate the man who could turn the impossible into possible.

Currently, some of NetEase's internal software is sold by Dream Company, and the birth certificate issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on July 24, the birth certificate for brainwave glasses, is what worries him.

Although the current network speed makes it difficult to run brainwave glasses smoothly, what if the network speed increases? Then the situation will be different.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Vice President Liang Dong walked in with a document.

"How?"

"Mr. Ding, we did investigate something. This is the investigation situation."

After receiving the document, Ding Sanshi browsed it carefully. Due to the close relationship between Sisi Society and the Security Bureau, the commercial investigation company did not dare to go in-depth.

The document mainly contains the procurement of raw materials, parts procurement and the situation mentioned by some workers. Judging from the relevant situation, the output of brainwave glasses is very large, at least in the millions.

In addition, there is some cooperation between Sisishe and Huawei. Could it be that both parties have launched 5G communications in advance?

He looked at Huawei's 5G patents and found no significant growth.

However, when he turned to Star Communications, a newly established subsidiary of Citizen Home, and Think Communications Equipment, a newly established subsidiary of Think Society, Ding Sanshi seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on him.

It’s on the shelves tomorrow! ​
