Chapter 808: Chapter 531: Abusing the Tsundere to Death Again_3
All these together are often referred to as half of the Internet industry!
The mergers and acquisitions of this half of the industry were all orchestrated by him, incredibly terrifying!
Besides his exceptional capabilities, there’s one more thing that people always talk about—[connections].
As everyone knows, China is a society reliant on connections.
Just how important these connections are is self-evident.
Getting rivals to sit down at the same table for negotiations tests not just business skills, but also the ability to connect.
This person enjoyed the spotlight for many years.
But later, for various reasons, he “vanished” for a long time.
“Overall, the merger of Meituan and Dianping is the trend of the times.” Cheng Zhu was well aware of this fact.
There will be many forces pushing behind the scenes!
After all, capital seeks profit!
If they continue burning money , it will undoubtedly end in mutual destruction.
The craze for the group-buying market has cooled down significantly, and everyone is beginning to realize that this industry isn’t as profitable or valuable as imagined.
Therefore, merging earlier is better for all involved.
If the fight continues, it truly won’t be a lucrative deal anymore.
“But the problem is… who will take the lead!” This was Cheng Zhu’s biggest concern.
At three in the afternoon, Zhang Xuhao once again visited the office building where Youu Tea was located.
He flew to Hang City today because he had work to tend to.
After finishing, he reached out to Cheng Zhu, expressing the desire to have a chat.
Cheng Zhu was happy to oblige and invited him to the company.
“Still an iced cola?” he asked in the office.
“Sure,” Zhang Xuhao nodded.
Two bottles of iced cola were taken from the fridge and placed on the table.
After sitting down, Cheng Zhu asked, “How have you been lately? Must be super busy, right?”
“I’m really beat, plus I have a headache every day!” Zhang Xuhao shook his head, looking helpless.
“Because of Wang Xin?” Cheng Zhu asked knowingly.
“Yeah! Who else could it be?” Zhang Xuhao took a sip of the iced cola.
But then he smiled and said, “However, my stress is slightly less than before now.”
“Previously, Wang Xin focused primarily on Meituan Takeout, so the two of us were constantly clashing directly.”
Zhang Xuhao continued, “You know his execution is very strong, and he’s very experienced, truly terrifying.”
Cheng Zhu nodded slightly.
Brother Hao enthusiastically said, “But now Meituan has started burning money crazily in the group-buying sector, engaging in real competition with Dianping. It does make things a bit easier on my side.”
Cheng Zhu, hearing this, could understand Zhang Xuhao’s mindset quite well.
Under these circumstances, the pressure on Eleme indeed can be a lot less.
Wang Xin originally planned to unify the market by competing in the takeout sector.
Now, with the backing from Alibaba not being strong, he can only resort to some risky maneuvers, leaving everyone puzzled as he shifts focus from Zhang Xuhao and goes back to fighting the old rival Zhang Tao!
It’s important to note that the group-buying sector has entered a cold winter.
However, the takeout sector is heating up!
Wang Xin’s approach is indeed odd.
But Zhang Xuhao is happy to see this situation.
After all, while Dianping has also invested in Eleme, the real benefactor is Tencent.
Of course, Zhang Xuhao also doesn’t want Dianping to lose to Meituan, as that would render him helpless.
Cheng Zhu looked at the equally young Zhang Xuhao and asked directly, “Then… what is Tencent’s stance?”
“You’ve hit the nail on the head, there’s quite an explanation for this!” Zhang Xuhao’s expression turned a bit more serious.
He began, “Mr. Zhang has been going to Shen City frequently recently as his market share keeps declining, and he certainly hopes Tencent can offer more help.”
“Tencent has always expressed full support, but their actions haven’t been as strong as before.”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhu had his answer.
He roughly guessed that Tencent would be pleased to see Meituan and Dianping merge.
Cheng Zhu didn’t doubt Zhang Xuhao’s status as a business genius; his ability to achieve such accomplishments in his first venture speaks to both his timely entry into the industry and his outstanding personal capabilities, though not as monstrous as the seasoned Wang Xin!
Therefore, he reckoned Zhang Xuhao might also be contemplating some issues.
After thinking for a moment, he turned to Zhang Xuhao and said, “Do you think there’s any possibility of Dianping and Meituan merging in the end?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuhao was initially stunned, then slowly set down his cola, letting out a long sigh as a shadow clouded his eyes behind his glasses.
“That’s what I’m most afraid of!” he looked at Cheng Zhu, expressing utmost sincerity.
“That’s why I wanted to come and seek your advice today.”
