Vol 3 Chapter 334: Indirect pressure
Genius remembers "114 Chinese Network wWw.114Zw.la" in one second and provides you with wonderful novel reading. This night, Feng Yiping didn't sleep at all. A series of Amazon actions really stimulated him. www.114zw.la114 Chinese Network
After receiving a call from Huang Jingping, he learned that these guys, after they were clearly rejected by the company, the agreement to acquire them failed, so they immediately found shareholders and quickly began a hostile acquisition.
Haha, fortunately, nextdoor is not a listed company, and it has not yet introduced third-party investors. All the equity is firmly held by itself, otherwise such a thing is really difficult to deal with.
Although Amazon has had a very good life in the past two years and its benefits are very mediocre, it has a large scale and a market value of nearly 300 billion US dollars. It is not an easy task to compete with it head-on.
Of course, if you really get there, it doesn't mean that you have no chance of winning and have great difficulties. For example, a listed company such as Amazon has a large number of shareholders, and it is impossible to follow Bezos's mind for everything.
And small has its own advantages. It’s different here. Compared with Amazon, although the company is small, it has strong control. As long as you look in one direction, you can immediately focus on everything. The force is pushing in that direction.
For a large company like Amazon, with such a problem, it has thoughtful arrangements so soon, so you can't fall behind, you can seriously prepare for the work with Netflix.
Mergers and acquisitions are very common for large companies.
Generally speaking, there are two main ways for a company to expand and grow. One is internal expansion and the other is external mergers and acquisitions.
Through internal expansion, the risk is relatively small and controllable. External mergers and acquisitions are relatively more risky, but the pace is fast.
However, from a worldwide analysis, so far, almost all large companies have achieved scale expansion through outbound mergers and acquisitions. This is especially true for large companies in the United States. They have grown rapidly through mergers and acquisitions to some degree or method.
For example, Amazon is the same. Feng Yiping analyzed that when it encounters a competitor, there are two solutions, either to defeat it, or if not, then buy it.
According to Feng Yiping's data, since its founding year, it has acquired online music rival neto last month, and there have been 5 mergers and acquisitions of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Since I want to make Jiasheng Exhibition a world-class company, I must adapt to this approach.
However, at present, in the organization of the group, mergers and acquisitions are lacking. There are no relevant departments and personnel. These senior executives of the group can think of it with his eyes closed, although he does not rule out that some are similar to himself. People who are familiar with the theory of mergers and acquisitions, but who have actually operated large-scale mergers and acquisitions, it is estimated that none of them.
In Shanghai, through the office window, Jin Ling can clearly see the building under construction by his company. According to the plan, it will be capped by the end of this year.
More and more things made her feel more and more that her little boss is really a blessed person.
For example, at the beginning of the bidding for the building project in Shanghai, he insisted on choosing the Chinese prefix, or the well-known local state-owned construction company in Shanghai, because such a company has guaranteed qualifications and stricter safety production requirements. He hopes to eliminate it from the source. Possible safety accidents in the building process.
The result of this is that since the end of last month, many buildings under construction nearby have stalled because a large number of construction workers ran back to their hometowns. However, the construction of Jiasheng Shanghai Building continued to proceed in an orderly manner.
Ability, good foresight, good luck, and also a responsible little man. At such a special time, he has always insisted on staying in the city. It seems that it is difficult for him not to become a rich man in the country.
"There were 8 cases the day before yesterday, and only 4 cases were added yesterday. Will it be o today?" These days, when Feng Yiping got on the phone, she always talked about the situation first.
"In short, the general trend is improving, or that sentence, don't worry about me, you should also pay attention in Shanghai,"
"I am looking for you today because I have something to discuss with you. I want to set up an international team on mergers and acquisitions at the headquarters, and collect relevant information for us to choose from. When necessary, I can directly act as my assistant."
"Why, what company did you like?" Jin Ling, who graduated from Harvard Business School, is naturally no stranger to the theory of mergers and acquisitions.
"There is an idea. You discuss with Buchanan and put up the shelf as soon as possible."
"There is one more thing. You inform Li Lin and ask her to work with the securities department to prepare one thing immediately. If I want to raise 1.5 to 200 million US dollars this year, what are the feasible plans? Including the equity of the two listed companies. Either financing or equity-related financing is fine. Within one month, I will see the specific plan."
Raising 1.5 to 200 million US dollars is not something that can be done in one or two days. If you really decide to do it, it is best not to next year.
Companies like Jiasheng naturally have to win the support of Chinese banks when acquiring overseas. Moreover, Jiasheng now has the strength to obtain strong support from banks. In other words, because it has never made loans, the banking system is quite good for Jiasheng. WeChat, I believe that if Jiasheng has this requirement now, the banks will be very happy.
It's just that, either you don't want it, or you need such a large amount, it's not that easy to do.
If this matter is delayed until next year, there may be additional difficulties.
If I remember correctly, by next year, the Deron system will completely collapse, and some of its participating commercial banks have been dragged down.
In addition, Zhou Zhengyi, who is now famous in Hong Kong and known as Shanghai Fu, his "seabird system" should collapse in the near future. In addition, after next year's Delong system, in the transfer of state-owned shares, Yan Caihong's" The Hongyi Family" will also be destroyed....
In short, starting next year, the "bookmaker" in the domestic capital market will gradually become a thing of the past, but also because of the impact of this series of major cases, the domestic capital market will definitely be cold next year, and lending by the banking industry will also become Be more cautious. It would be more difficult to get such a large loan from the bank at once.
"So anxious? You already have a goal?"
"Hehe, I just have an idea now, but someone has already started on me," Buchanan was directly responsible to Feng Yiping. Jin Ling didn't know about this matter, and she was very excited when she told her, "Hehe, That company was made on a temporary basis when you first arrived in the United States as an exchange student. In less than two years, Amazon offered a maximum price of $1.5 billion. I am so proud of you!"
I don’t care about this kind of pride now, and if you keep doing it, you will be proud of me, "Then these two things, please, and during this time, you still have to be more careful!"
After confessing to Jin Ling, Feng Yiping checked the time and found that it was past 9 o'clock. It should be past 5 o'clock in the afternoon in Seattle. Why doesn't Bezos call? Did he just give up like this?
Of course, Bezos would not give up so easily, but after listening to Wilke's Huang Jingping's attitude, he felt that it would be better to start with the two institutional shareholders of nextdoor, Jiasheng Investment and Leading Capital.
Because Feng Yiping’s attitude is likely to be as tough as Huang Jingping’s. If he calls Feng Yiping but is strongly rejected by Feng Yiping, then there is no room for change. Such things are not a last resort, so don’t Good birth.
It's just that the investigation of those two institutions will soon fail.
It is better to say that Jiasheng Investment, from the name, you know that it must be closely related to Feng Yiping. Many of Jiasheng's investments in China are shareholders.
However, there is no progress at all to investigate the shareholders of Jiasheng Investment. The same is true for Leading Capital. The investigation continues. Now these two companies are registered in the British Virgin Islands. After the investigation, they can no longer proceed.
Although Amazon is quite bullish now, but let the British Virgin Islands provide the relevant registration information of these two companies in a compelling way. They are not that capable yet, and it is almost the same as cia.
Therefore, as for how to convince Feng Yiping, Bezos felt that he had to think about it.
At the same time, another job of Amazon, their group buying business, can be officially launched the day after tomorrow after the intense work of many technicians.
This is a method that Bezos values very much. He just wants to let Nextdoor know through this method that I can still do such things, and I can do better than you.
With my fingertips, I can grab your most important income item at the moment. To put it bluntly, it is indirect pressure.
Taking into account the popularity of the iPod3 launched by nextdoor today, less than two hours, 50,000 ipod3s were sold out. Amazon’s first group purchase, Bezos also hopes that ipod3 will be **** for tat, don’t you 5% off? I posted the money myself, 10% off. In short, I want to attract users and attract popularity.
However, when discussing with Steve Jobs, he was rejected again, "We can't supply so much extra spot,"
Bezos feels that he is not good now!
"Why is nextdoor OK?" Don't you even support me, old Joe, brother?
"They proposed this plan to us three months ago," Jobs said, leaving Bezos speechless.
However, the network of others is very wide. After some urgent negotiations, Motorola promised to mobilize 20,000 of the latest e38o mobile phones within a week. This is a rare color screen mobile phone and is very popular.
So, in order for the group buying to have a sensational effect, Bezos had to consider adjusting the date when his group buying business went online.
In short, he felt a little bit powerless when dealing with this nextdoor, which was not yet a climate.
…………
Although neither party disclosed it to the public, Amazon is a very influential and large-scale listed company, and everyone is paying close attention to every move. On the afternoon of 2o, reporters kept calling the two companies to verify the news, and Amazon held a meeting. The press conference, in response to this rumor, said very formulaically, "If there is a relevant decision, the company will make an announcement in time."
"However, I can tell everyone that Amazon's group buying business will be officially launched in the near future. We want to tell all our friends who have been supporting us that this business is definitely worth looking forward to, because we are a professional e-commerce company!"
If there is only the previous sentence, that's nothing, but with the latter sentence, it seems to have a lot of content?
As for nextdoor, I was happy to see that because of the two group purchases, the sudden increase in registered users in the past two days, and the applications for building sub-sites from nearly a hundred communities, Buchanan answered rather ambiguously on the phone, "No Can comment!"
Media reporters who watched the excitement are not too big of a problem are naturally dissatisfied with his answer. However, nextdoor is not a listed company and has no obligation to actively disclose relevant information. So on the morning of the 21st, there are several persistent media ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~Sent a reporter to the company and directly approached Buchanan.
"Did your company receive a takeover offer?"
"In short, we have our own exhibition direction. At this stage, we are not interested in any form of mergers and acquisitions." Buchanan took out what he said to the people at Amazon yesterday and said it again. As for whether there is any, you guys Judge for yourself.
It should be said that from the current stage, Amazon is more powerful. Then he doesn't mind taking a free ride and a bundled marketing to let more people understand and pay attention to his company.
"About Amazon's online group buying business, what's your comment?"
"We are proud that companies like Amazon can follow up so quickly, which shows that the new business model we launched is very successful. If relevant companies need it, we can unconditionally introduce experience," Buchanan said with a smile.
This is almost plainly speaking of Amazon plagiarism.
I have to say that if these people who are accustomed to being a staff member speak, if they are not polite, they can really tell people internal injuries.
"Nextdoor is not worried about Amazon launching the same business, which will have an impact on you?"
"It is easier to imitate us, the more we are, ha ha! Besides, the world is so big and the market is so big, it can accommodate too many similar companies,"
"Then your company, do you have the intention to become an e-commerce company?"
Naturally, there is no such thing. But, isn't Amazon doing group buying to give us pressure, then we can also put pressure on you.
"There is no such plan for the time being. At the same time, I want to solemnly reiterate on behalf of the company that all the services we launch are centered on our users. What we do and don't do are not directed at any third parties. Thank you!" For mobile users, please visit m.114zw.la to read for a better reading experience.
