Xu Xin received a call from Hu Xubo on the way to Meilishuo.

While comforting Yu Xing's fake dog, she canceled her plan to lobby Xu Yirong in person.

The other party is angry, and it will be useless to go over now. Wait a few days until he calms down and then talk again.

The two companies are facing a cliff-like drop in traffic and revenue. The possibility of a merger involves 10 institutional shareholders, 2 entrepreneurial teams and traffic support from giants, which is bound to cause trouble.

However, Xu Xin believes that in this situation, it is best to grasp three issues.

First, after Alibaba cuts off supply, is it better for each company to fight on its own or to merge and integrate?

Second, does vertical e-commerce have a future, and does beauty industry O2O have a future?

Third, how to balance the overall interests of the company and the personal interests of the founder.

Judging from the many communications with shareholders including IDG, Sequoia, GGV, Red Falcon, Qiming Venture Partners, and off-site guest Yu Xing, everyone is unanimous on the first question - it is not good to fight alone, and it is better to fight together.

The answers to the second question were not as consistent as those to the first question, but those who were more optimistic also believed that the chance was indeed small, but why couldn’t it be us?

As for the third question, Xu Xin’s view is that even if there is a deviation between the personal interests of the founder and the overall interests of the company, this is not irreconcilable, especially under the pressure of a survival crisis.

The impact of Alibaba's supply cut can be understood by just looking at the numbers.

Whether it is Mogujie or Meilishuo, 80%-90% of their revenue was immediately cut off this time. But although transformation is urgent, it may not be a good thing if the direction of transformation is wrong.

Xu Xin sorted out his thoughts again and again, worried that the operation might change, so he decided to invite a top-notch horse to take charge.

Mr. Xiong’s reputation in the industry is still stronger, and he also has connections with Penguin.

Xu Xin called Xiong Xiaoge and first talked about Xu Yirong's emotions, and then talked about the main logic of the merger of the two companies. He hoped that the other party would show up to deal with the matter to avoid any more trouble.

"I have an appointment to meet at Mogujie tonight." Xiong Xiaoge hesitated for a moment, "In this case, let's discuss this matter in front of everyone, and talk openly and honestly, and talk about everything."

He naturally knew that Xu Xin was actively working behind the scenes, but he didn't think it was still necessary at this time.

Xu Xin hesitated: "How can we be frank? Xu Yirong is very resistant."

"One is one, two is two. I think Xu Yirong can figure it out. This is not to harm him." Xiong Xiaoge said, "In addition to everyone sitting down and talking, Mr. Xu, where should the shopping guide traffic go this time? How to obtain new revenue? If this can be accomplished first, it may impress Chen Qi and Xu Yirong more. For example, can you talk to JD.com again? Also, Mr. Yu has a close relationship with Letao.com. I will ask the e-commerce websites that are not affiliated with Alibaba."

He said seriously: "Reasoning may not necessarily impress people, but if we build a new revenue framework, it will be a very important bargaining chip."

When Xu Xin heard this, he immediately felt that it made a lot of sense. He should do things to the best of his ability, and make sure everything is ready except for the east wind. Then he could talk to the east wind, and it would be easy to get things done.

She said sincerely: "Boss Xiong, you are indeed the top-notch horse that Boss Yu mentioned."

Xiong Xiaoge didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Boss Yu's mouth is really... sometimes he really deserves it."

He thought about it again, and finally said, "Then I will postpone the meeting with Chen Qi. When we find a client, we will arrange to have a chat. Well, let's schedule it for the weekend of next week. Invite Mr. Yu to come as well. He has long said that vertical e-commerce is not feasible. He also rejected the beauty industry O2O. This time, we will add the traffic of Carbon Silicon Data, and it would be best if we can accomplish the goal in one fell swoop."

Xu Xin agreed, and since they were talking about carbon silicon data, she also exchanged some recent developments of the company with Xiong Xiaoge.

It has only been half a year, and the formerly inconspicuous software matrix has improved significantly. It is indeed worth pondering, especially the combination of Wifi Master Key with the current 3G deployment, which is really a great success in the mobile Internet.

Xu Xin praised the development of Carbon Silicon Data Company without hesitation, and also praised the vision and execution of Yu Xing, Zhong Zhiling and others.

Xiong Xiaoge laughed on the phone and said, "Boss Xu, don't be too modest. Don't just praise them. You were also instrumental in this."

Xu Xin felt that Mr. Xiong's praise was unwarranted: "Why should I be behind this? Carbon Silicon Data Company is developing its own business."

"Mr. Xu, you are really modest." Xiong Xiaoge was a little puzzled. "Carbon Silicon Data's acquisition of several apps and its cooperation with software like Moji Weather to divert traffic was not led by you, Capital Today, behind the scenes?"

Xu Xin was surprised to see that Mr. Xiong was talking so convincingly, "That's not true. I didn't even ask, how did you hear that?" Xiong Xiaoge said curiously, "This... Mr. Zhang mentioned it, and I heard others mention it too. It's a rumor."

Xu Xin: “???”

She said with a smile: "I have seen a ghost, and it is spreading all over the world. This rumor... wait!"

Wait, the phrase "rumored in the world" is sometimes a more euphemistic way of saying it!
Can this be a good word?

Xu Xin asked, "Boss Xiong, how did you get the news? What did you say?"

Seeing that Xu Xin's reaction did not seem fake, Xiong Xiaoge did not know what went wrong and began to stammer: "Well, how do you say it? How do you say it? That is to say, that is to say, oh, I am not sure about the details, probably it is that the style of Capital Today is meritorious."

Xu Xin resisted the urge to ask further questions, as these calls had to be merged.

She said two final sentences to end this round of communication.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Xin called Liu Qiangdong of JD.com to seek buyers for traffic. The traffic of Mogujie and Meilishuo tends to be more towards female groups, but the traffic of Penguin and Carbon Silicon Data is more neutral. JD.com focuses on electrical appliances and 3C products, so it is worth a try.

Liu Qiangdong agreed to this pilot cooperation without any hesitation.

Penguin's traffic has brought a good increase to JD.com, while Mogujie and Meilishuo are not just traffic guides, but use content to promote themselves, and are relatively high-quality intermediaries.

Xu Xin was not surprised by this result. Alibaba was worried that it would become too big to be controlled, but JD.com or small and medium-sized e-commerce companies did not have such concerns.

By the evening, Xu Xin had not forgotten the "rumor" and asked someone to find out what had happened recently.

finally……

Liu Jiankai, who had not been seen for a long time, surfaced.

tough!

Too tough!
And the toughness inherited from Today’s Capital!

After hearing the rumors, Xu Xin felt a black screen before his eyes and grabbed the phone to call Yu Xing.

The reason why I didn't call Liu Jiankai is that Liu Jiankai must be ordered by Yu Xing behind the scenes!

However, now is a critical moment for operational integration, and the prospects of Carbon Silicon Data are gradually becoming brighter. It is really not appropriate to argue at this time.

Xu Xinqiang calmed down for a while, but still called Yu Xing to talk about Mr. Xiong and his own actions regarding revenue.

"Well, that's good. Let's talk about everything that can be connected first." Yu Xing thought it made sense and expanded his thinking, saying with a smile, "Traffic shopping guide is a light-asset operation. Now we can not only look for e-commerce, but also O2O. If we can't do O2O, we can make money by guiding shopping. Let's survive this stage first, and then see how to add revenue business later."

Xu Xin agreed with the new O2O buyers mentioned by Yu Xing and talked for a while about the possibility and the role of intermediary communication.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Yu, your Carbon Silicon company and other software are mutually diverting traffic, and the effect is really good, but why do I hear some rumors about me and Capital Today?"

Yu Xing calmly replied, "Hmm? Mr. Xu, what do you mean? I don't understand. What rumors?"

At this moment, Xu Xin suddenly remembered the words "may not work" and "definitely not work" that he had borrowed from Yu Xing. He suppressed the urge to continue questioning and said with a smile: "Oh, it's okay. It's probably just someone else's nonsense. Don't forget to contact LeTao.com."

Yu Xing said easily: "Okay, I won't forget it, don't worry."

Xu Xin hung up the phone, his face darkened. It was him. He ruined his reputation before he ruined his. Bastard...

A top-notch bastard!
