Chapter 328 Vicious
Yu Xing arrived in Lin'an with a small entourage, and the first thing he did was to check the latest research report on the mountain, which had been fully translated.

Because it is a survey that explains facts and opinions, the report does not use fancy words and pursues accuracy, so its translation is relatively simple.

Yu Xing quickly glanced over it, then simply glanced at everyone's voices and fell into thought.

Secretary Zhang Yangxu watched the research of the suspected No. 1 short seller in China and curled his lips. He commented: "NetQin is definitely a scam, but its analysis of the new energy industry is not good."

When Yu Xing heard this, he asked in surprise, "Why not?"

He felt that his analysis was already very comprehensive. In addition to Fisker in the United States, he also talked about companies in other parts of the world and their related shortcomings.

For example, European car companies are being lazy in their transformation from oil to electricity. The production of Renault ZOE based on the Clio platform will limit the battery layout, resulting in poor performance in terms of battery life and space.

For example, the new energy subsidy policies implemented by European countries vary greatly. Norway is exempt from value-added tax and import taxes, but Germany only provides a subsidy of 4000 euros, which will undoubtedly make it difficult for car companies to make unified market decisions.

For example, Bosch and Continental, suppliers that European car companies rely on, have very low enthusiasm for technological iteration. Bosch's permanent magnet synchronous motor has an efficiency of only 88%, while Tesla's self-developed motor has an efficiency of 93%.

All these factors will inevitably lead to the fact that the prospects of new energy vehicles will still face great challenges.

Zhang Yangxu smiled and said, "It doesn't know that the new energy industry has already undergone tremendous changes here, and it didn't mention our Carbon Silicon Group."

Yu Xing: “…”

He considered, "This is a good thing. After all, it's a short position, and there's no benefit in being on its list."

"This proves that its observation and analysis are not in place." Zhang Yangxu found the problem with Guo Shanfeng. "If our Carbon Silicon Group is doing well and is actively promoting it, then it should say something. If the Carbon Silicon Group is not doing well, it, as a short seller, should say something even more."

Yu Xing smiled and said, "Then I know. It's because Carbon Silicon Group is neither good nor bad that we didn't discuss it."

Zhang Yangxu felt that his words were not so nice at this time, and said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Yu, I am just talking casually. I think our tram project is progressing very well, better than those companies mentioned by Guo Shanfeng."

"Don't worry about what others say, just do our own thing." Yu Xing shook his head slightly, "Don't say that Shanfeng didn't mention us. Even if he did, what would happen? It's just empty talk."

Seeing his boss so calm, Zhang Yangxu couldn't help but respect him. Guo Shanfeng was not just a short seller, but a short seller who had won every battle. However, in the eyes of the boss who "made cars honestly", it was probably just a temporary storm.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Yu Xing met Ma Dian.

"Boss Yu, you've been here for a while, I was on the phone just now." Ma Dian walked in quickly and said with a smile, "I heard that you were going to build a car recently, why did you switch to that?"

"If there is profit to be made, then build it." Yu Xing replied.

Ma Dian originally thought that the answer would be something sentimental, but he didn't expect to hear such an answer. He couldn't help but smile: "So what do you want to talk to me about today?"

Yu Xing thought for a moment and said, "I came here because I thought it would be profitable."

After hearing two profitable sentences in succession, Ma Dian sat down to see what was going on.

However, he suddenly remembered something related and said with a smile: "I'll introduce you to Mr. Lu from Wanxiang Group later. They have also wanted to build cars for many years."

Yu Xing naturally knew Wanxiang Group, which made automobile parts. Its head, Lu Guanqiu, was a well-known Zhejiang businessman, and the group had now been handed over to his son.

He thanked him politely and then talked about his projects in the mobile Internet, especially the latest hot topics in information content.

Ma Dian listened halfway and interrupted, "Boss Yu, you are very busy, can you come over?"

"I originally just wanted to invest in mobile Internet projects, but later I found that I had to try some key things myself, just like coming to see Mr. Ma today." Yu Xing replied, "Overall it's OK. These softwares have people following them. I see that Mr. Lei has Shunwei Capital, which does investment, and is now also working on Xiaomi's smartphones. I think this allocation of energy is OK."

Ma Dian did not comment, and asked directly: "Mr. Yu, your original idea was very good. We can follow the action of WeChat chat and we will not be scolded. But you can't overturn the golden idea in the past for your new project today."

Ali's WeChat followed Penguin's micro-chat. This Murong Fu-style competitive move not only caused headaches for Penguin, but was also frequently analyzed by various financial media and practitioners during this period.

To put it nicely, Yu Xing, who came up with the idea, is said to be able to operate the business.

To put it bluntly, let's just say that Yu Xing is vicious.

"Yes, that is a golden idea, but it is just a golden idea taught to me by Penguin." Yu Xing affirmed the previous idea, then changed the subject and said with a smile, "Mr. Ma, do you think there is any golden idea in the world that will never change and will always work?"

The only constant in the world is change.

Ma Dian did not answer, but gestured for Yu Xing to continue.

"I have been observing the competition between WeChat and Weichat recently. Instant messaging is so special that although I may use WeChat and he may use Weichat for a while, they will eventually be separated." Yu Xing first talked about the inevitability of competition and then the current situation of competition. "I asked someone to count the number of crashes of WeChat and Weichat from the beginning of the year to now. It seems that Penguin still has the technical ability in this regard. In addition, it still has QQ, which is difficult to replace, so I am afraid that the user time is also longer."

Although WeChat and Wechat have always been in close competition, there is always a difference between them, even if the difference is very small.

Neither side has released similar data, but third-party estimates generally believe that WeChat chat still has a slight advantage.

"User stickiness is still critical. If WeChat can cooperate with the latest hot topics, we can provide high-quality information content to retain users. This is very positive competition." Yu Xing talked about the significance of cooperation.

Ma Dian then said: "The effect is unknown, but it must be beneficial to your software."

"If the cooperation is not good, then just remove it. WeChat is the entrance to the mobile Internet. Users can get more things through such an entrance. Compared with going to e-commerce at this time, I think it is better to attract them with information content." Yu Xing analyzed.

Alibaba’s WeChat is considered one of the super apps, and super apps were previously identified by Yu Xing as one of the five major entrances to the mobile Internet.

Since it is an entrance, what other businesses can be added through this entrance will naturally be the focus of subsequent exploration.

Based on Alibaba's position, there is no doubt that what it wants to add most is its own e-commerce business, which can also be verified by Ge Zhijie, the technical director of Carbon Silicon Data Company.

Yu Xing talked about this point, but gave it a priority. Information content is greater than e-commerce content. The latter wants to take money out of users' pockets, while the former wants to take users' traffic. The difficulty is still different.

Seeing that Ma Dian didn't say anything, he continued, "Moreover, if Weilian updates the information content portal in the future, Alibaba will be in a passive position. Compared with Penguin's first domestic portal, Alibaba is obviously weak in the field of information content."

"Compared with other options such as Sina Weibo, Sina Portal, and NetEase Portal, our latest hot spots will provide fragmented information that is more in line with the mobile Internet and content information that is more suitable for sharing." Yu Xing also laid out the options that Alibaba could make.

Whether it is Sina Weibo, traditional portals, or UC Browser invested by Alibaba, they are obviously stronger, which is not a good thing for cooperation. The weak latest hot spots do not have to worry about the distribution of voice, and have the advantage of focusing on mobile Internet.

Hearing this, Ma Dian laughed and said, "Mr. Yu, you are thinking about WeChat in an orderly manner. How far do you want to go with this latest hot topic?"

Yu Xing immediately pretended to be solemn and said, "I plan to increase the value of the latest hot spot to 6.6 million US dollars, and then sell it to Mr. Ma. I will use the money to continue making cars. The money I earned from Mr. Ma last time is almost gone."

Ma Dian laughed.

After a moment, he said, "You still have follow-up services. It does cost money to build a car."

Yu Xing nodded and said sincerely, "Indeed, so, in addition to looking for investment institutions, one thing I often consider during this period is the stability of the capital chain. This time, coming here is a win-win situation for WeChat."

Although Ma Dian made a lot of laughs, he said lightly at this moment: "In this case, then you can continue to polish this latest hot spot. When Penguin's WeChat chat really increases the information entrance, it will be a win-win moment for us."

He still felt that Murong Fu's style of play was safe.

Yu Xing was not anxious, and said lightly: "Speaking of which, Penguin has potential information advantages, and Alibaba also has potential payment advantages. I do have a good idea for this trip."

It is indeed a good idea to return the item to its original owner.

Ma Dian glanced at Yu Xing opposite him and was not surprised that he considered Alipay.

WeChat is indeed competing closely with Weichat, but the Alibaba team has considered how to increase its advantages. Taobao users and Alipay users are all taken into consideration.

This is the difference between Alibaba and Penguin.

However, just as Penguin did not position itself as the primary information portal, Alibaba also did not increase the number of e-commerce users.

Ma Dian understood the implication of Yu Xing's words. The latest hot cooperation had just been shelved, so this "good idea" naturally did not come without a price.

He thought for a few seconds, thinking that the person in front of him was the founder of WeChat, and looking at Yu Xing's calm expression at the moment, and remembering the last ban on the sale, he attached great importance to it: "Mr. Yu, if you say so, then I can't just listen to it myself."

Yu Xing nodded: "Okay, it is necessary to have more people to discuss it."

Seeing his attitude, Ma Dian felt that he was more reliable. He picked up the phone and called Peng Lei who was in charge of Alipay, and also notified CFO Cai Chongxin who was still in a meeting.

While waiting for the two to arrive, he asked with a smile: "Boss Yu, you come here with your ideas like this, what if I don't cooperate after listening to them?"

Yu Xing shook his head and said, "Boss Ma was able to seal the $6.6 million acquisition the last time he met me. I haven't thought about this issue."

Ma Dian nodded: "Then let's see if your plan is worth the money."

If it is really valuable, WeChat may take the initiative to break the slavish following of micro-chat. If it can break the first step, it will not have to wait for the second step.

About ten minutes later, CFO Joseph Tsai and one of the Eighteen Arhats, Peng Lei, arrived at the office and were somewhat surprised to see Yu Xing.

Yu Xing shook hands and greeted the two men.

Ma Dian briefly explained the situation: "Mr. Yu said he has a plan for Alipay and WeChat. Can you guys listen to it together?"

Tsai Chongxin and Peng Lei took their seats.

Yu Xing looked at the three core executives of Alibaba in front of him and described the plan in one sentence: "On the 22nd of next month, the Chinese New Year's Eve, we will use the shake function of WeChat to carry out a sharing fission activity of collecting lucky cards and exchanging them for red envelopes. We will launch it a week before the New Year to catch Penguin off guard."

Chinese New Year, blessing cards, red envelopes, sharing, fission, one week.

In one sentence, there is a time limit for strategic actions, it is in line with the holiday habits of domestic users, it has the best effect of sharing fission... and it even has the unexpected result of switching from following others to taking the initiative.

The plan is too short and too effective.

The office suddenly seemed unusually quiet.

When Yu Xing saw Ma Dian’s eyes widened instantly, he held back his inexplicable amusement and waited for their opinions.

Alibaba was the first to do something like Foka, and it can still play to Alibaba's strengths now, which is precisely the weakness of Penguin. It can not only promote the mobility of Alipay, but also maximize the sharing of WeChat during the New Year period.

This solution is to return the property to its original owner, but with the addition of mobile communications.

Ma Dian thought for a long time, and couldn't help but hesitate and said: "Mr. Yu, you..."

Cai Chongxin sighed and said, "Mr. Yu, no wonder others praise your operations."

His words could not express the emotion in his heart, and he could not help but say to Ma Dian: "I regret it, I regret it. I should have persuaded you to pay more money that night. Mr. Yu did not ask for 4000 million US dollars, but another 4 million US dollars!"

WeChat was previously sold to Alibaba for US$6.6 million, but Ma Dian was willing to add an additional US$4000 million to allow Yu Xing to join Alibaba.

Peng Lei also said at this time: "This plan uses tradition to combine the strengths of both families and attack the opponent's weaknesses. It's perfect..."

She didn't say her true thoughts. President Yu was too cruel. He was chasing the penguin and biting it!

Yu Xing was not as excited as they were. He nodded to accept the praise and looked at Ma Dian who was in charge, and reminded him, "Boss Ma?"

Ma Dian stood up, took a few steps, and shook Yu Xing's hand: "Mr. Yu, welcome to the cooperation between Latest Hotspot and WeChat. I have to ask you one more question, don't you think Alibaba is a very suitable stage for your development?"

Yu Xing smiled slightly: "I really hope that Alibaba is a generous buyer, Mr. Ma, happy cooperation."
