Chapter 583 Cheng Zhu behind the curtain, exposed on the whole network

In September of 2015, the war in the O2O field was in full swing.

And in the dark, there is also a turbulent undercurrent.

Bao Fan was extremely efficient. After making a phone call with Mr. Li from Baidu, he set out early the next morning to meet with him for an interview.

All this happened very secretly, and the outside world had no way of knowing.

During this period, various news media have continued to report on these companies.

.......

The money-burning war continues to be vigorous, and ordinary people are also benefiting from it. They can plunder wool in various ways, which is very exciting.

But only a few people know that behind all of this, there is a pair of invisible hands pushing everything!

But for some people who stand at the top of the business pyramid, the information they can obtain is naturally different.

The name Cheng Zhu has been mentioned many times by different people.

This is true whether it is Penguin, Alibaba, or the top domestic venture capital institution!

Three days later, Cheng Zhu received a call from Zhang Xuhao.

On the phone, the hot-blooded Brother Hao couldn't hide his excitement, and he was full of praise for Boss Bao in his words.

"Tomorrow, the three of us will sit down and talk together."

"Boss Bao's efficiency is so damn high. I thought this matter wouldn't be solved in half a month!"

Cheng Zhu smiled, not surprised by this, and said calmly: "It's normal."

His tone was calm, as if everything was as expected.

Others don't know how awesome this [King of Mergers and Acquisitions] was in 2015 or 16, how can Cheng Zhu know?

He can handle jobs that are more difficult than this in a short time. His personal abilities and network of connections can be said to be a treasure trove!

It would never be possible if anyone else took action.

When Bao Fan takes action, he can not only make the final decision, but he can also do it quickly and accurately!

"You have to be mentally prepared, the price offered by Baidu will probably be a bit high," Cheng Zhu reminded.

"It doesn't matter, our sponsor is rich!" Zhang Xuhao's tone was filled with the words "rich and powerful".

Just kidding, the people standing behind us are all big financiers.

Dads will support me!

"Don't put random labels on me, I don't have any money!" Cheng Zhu said immediately on the phone, starting to cry about poverty.

After Zhang Xuhao was stunned for a moment, he realized that the other party was also from the management side.

"What's wrong? QQ underwear and QQ toys have been hard to sell recently. It doesn't make sense." Zhang Xuhao also laughed mischievously.

We are all young people, and there is nothing to avoid when chatting, so we show our true colors.

“Alas, it’s not that my [Insistence Access] is not effective, after all, the QQ market in the past two years is not big enough!”

The cake was only so big in total, and Cheng Zhu had already taken the biggest bite, but he was greedy and couldn't get enough.

After the two joked around for a while, Cheng Zhu got back to business again and put forward his own suggestions.

"Baidu actually has a lot of traffic entrance resources."

"I personally suggest that if conditions permit, we can also cooperate."

In his memory, when Hungry Me acquired Baidu Takeaway in his previous life, Hungry Me had already received a large investment from Alibaba.

Alibaba is relatively lacking in traffic entrances.

Therefore, when Hungry.me paid to acquire Baidu Waimai, the entire acquisition was divided into two parts.

The first part is the $500 million sale of Baidu Waimai.

The second part is that Baidu packages some traffic entrance resources and sells them to Hungry, for a price of US$300 million.

Including Baidu Nuomi and Baidu Maps. The permissions for these are 5 years.

Baidu search period is two years.

Added together, the total price is only US$800 million.

You know, that was 17 years ago, and it was a fire sale that shocked the industry.

However, Penguin does not lack traffic and may not be willing to spend this money.

For Hungry?, these traffic portals are actually just the icing on the cake.

But despite this, Cheng Zhu felt that he still had to fight for it.

When Zhang Xuhao heard this, he also thought it was reasonable. It was impossible for him to think that there were too many traffic entrances.

"We'll see what happens when the time comes. I guess I can only work on this matter slowly," he replied.

"It's okay, Bao Fan is here." Cheng Zhu said.

Hearing this, Haozi began to praise Boss Bao for being awesome.

"No, why don't you compliment me?" Cheng Zhu was speechless.

"Praising you?" Zhang Xuhao laughed loudly: "What can I say to praise you on the phone? I can't praise you."

"Go, go, go!"

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Zhu left the [Youqu] headquarters, took the elevator to the underground parking lot of the office building, and planned to go to [Youte Tea].

These two companies are about 20 minutes' drive away.

The distance is neither too close nor too far.

As soon as he entered the garage, he saw Shen Qingning's Land Rover.

The dog man naturally stopped next to his car, and the family should be in order.

After getting off the bus, Cheng Zhu took the elevator upstairs. As soon as he entered the company, he was greeted by the voice of Mr. Cheng.

"Xue Fang, go and ask Mr. Shen to come to my office." Cheng Zhu said.

"Okay." said the female employee named Xue Fang.

But she felt weird in her heart: "Oh, in the company, two people are talking about Mr. Shen and Mr. Cheng. This way of avoiding suspicion is too annoying. Who are they trying to kill!"

As soon as Cheng Zhu took out a bottle of ice Coke from the refrigerator in his office, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Shen Qingning, dressed in professional attire, pushed open the door and entered.

Her upper body was in a sleeveless shirt, and her lower body was paired with a black skirt that reached just above her knees, revealing a pair of shapely and straight calves.

On her feet, she wore a pair of RV black flat-heeled shoes with square diamonds on the uppers.

"Would you like a Coke?" Cheng Zhu asked.

"No, I'm controlling my sugar these days." Shen Qingning said.

"What, losing weight?" Cheng Zhu asked casually.

Ningning didn't reply, she just sat down quietly on the sofa.

The dog man opened the iced Coke and took a comfortable sip. He sat down opposite her and crossed his legs.

"How much money does Pomelo Tea have on its account now?" Cheng Zhu asked.

"103 million." Shen Qingning replied.

"Tsk, we don't have much money, why didn't you tell me earlier?" He frowned slightly.

"Didn't I tell you last Tuesday? Do you want to check the chat history?" Shen Qingning immediately frowned, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

"Huh? Is there one?" He actually picked up the phone and started looking through the chat history, and then found that there was indeed one.

"Ahem, I was too busy a while ago. You may have accidentally missed some of the things you sent me." Cheng Zhu felt a little embarrassed.

The cold girl looked at him, a little speechless, and her tone became more and more dissatisfied: "You are becoming less and less concerned about Yucha's work."

"Isn't it because of you?" Cheng Zhu still crossed his legs and answered easily and casually.

"Then I hope Mr. Cheng can serve some snacks." Her tone was cold.

Recently, Shen Qingning has been under a lot of pressure.

Because Cheng Zhu gradually began to change from a half-hands-off shopkeeper to a completely hands-off shopkeeper.

He really left a series of matters related to Yucha to her, and the main thing was to reassure her.

But listening to Ning Ning's accusation, especially the harsh one from Mr. Cheng, made him feel that he had to defend himself, not just to prove himself!

And he came to the company today just to show off.

He first asked: "During the summer, so much money has been spent. How many new stores have we opened?"
