Chapter 449 (1/2)

”Mr. Liu, we have found out.”

Haishi group building, Shenzhen Bay area.

Standing in front of Mr. Liu's desk, the man in formal clothes put a piece of information on the desk, slightly lowered his head and continued in a deep voice.

”The shareholder behind kuaiyin app is Yunmeng group, holding more than three-quarters of the shares. The second largest shareholder is Zhang Tao, the former founder of the modern cycling project. ”

Hearing about the modern cycling project, Liu Zhiping's eyebrows twitched violently. It was as if he had been exposed the scar on his body.

As the president of a giant in the domestic Internet industry, he always has a good eye on the industry and people. However, in a short period of one year, he lost sight of the same project twice.

At that time, sea lion group spent 700 million. The acquisition of modern bike from Yunmeng group almost shocked the whole financial sector. No one thought that Haishi group could take over the project from Yunmeng group at such a low price.

After all, according to the scale of modern bicycles at that time, it would be worth at least 10 billion if they were listed on the market, and it would not even be a problem to grow to 50 billion in a few years.

Liu Zhiping was very proud of his genius acquisition.

However, he was not proud of a few days, the development of things took a turn for the worse.

First of all, some peers failed to withdraw the user's deposit due to the problem of broken capital chain, and then came the tide of strict control and supervision from the national level and the withdrawal of the user's deposit, which directly led to the collapse of a large number of small and medium-sized bike sharing enterprises, and accelerated the decline of the whole industry like an avalanche.

Although modern bicycle has withstood the pressure, due to the regulatory account set up by the CBRC and the restrictions on the use of the deposit, the original snowball style of bike sharing is no longer feasible, and the whole project has been reduced from ”Internet finance” to ”bicycle short rent”.

I bought a bicycle rental company for $700 million.

Lao Liu never dreamed that he would become a dish collector.

And that precise ”top copying” also made sea lion group and him the laughing stock of the industry.

In fact, if the story ended here, he would have lost sight at most once. Unfortunately, Liu Zhiping once again lost sight of Zhang Tao.

To be honest, when he bought the modern bike, Liu Zhiping didn't think much of the entrepreneur who was born as a college counselor.

At least in Liu Zhiping's view, the success of the modern bicycle project is partly due to Hao Yun's unique strategic vision and partly due to the talented financial means of the senior executive named Lin Jun.

As for Zhang Tao's founder team

It just happened to be standing on the tuyere, and it was put up to the stage by two real ox men. If you want to say that his only role is to provide a bike sharing idea and complete the initial app development.

However, these two things, in Liu Zhiping's view, can only be said to be general.

At least, the development of sea lion group to today's scale depends on no extraordinary creativity.

It is precisely because of this that after the acquisition of modern bicycle and the expulsion of Yunmeng group, the second thing Haishi group does is to parachute more professional executives to replace the founders such as Zhang Tao.

However, to Liu Zhiping's surprise, Zhang Tao, who has achieved financial freedom and should have been living a life of intoxication, ran out to start a business again.

And as soon as he came up, he made such a big trouble for himself.

”Mr. Liu...”

Looking at the gloomy and silent president Liu, the man standing at the desk took a deep breath and whispered in a tentative tone.

”The other party's equity structure is too strong. If it is acquired, I'm afraid there will be little opportunity.”

”Yunmeng group and Zhang Tao will definitely agree to a private equity transfer agreement, and considering our relationship with them... I'm afraid that no matter how high the price is, the other party may not agree to sell us the software.”

Although acquisition is the simplest and quickest way, it is also the most impossible.

Even without considering the tense relationship between Haishi group and Yunmeng group, Yunmeng group can not sell its shares because of its good financial condition.

After all, it's not a year ago.

”My suggestion is... Let's develop a similar short video app, or simply add a short video function on the basis of the original function of wechat.”
