Xu Maodong and Ning Zhihao looked at Chen Zi'ang at the same time and asked, "What suggestions?"

Chen Zi'ang said slowly: "I know what the dispute between the two is. The purpose of everyone's cooperation is to make themselves better. But the contradiction you are now is that you all only value your own interests and hope that the other party can fulfill themselves. This is impossible."

Ning Zhihao didn't say anything, but he didn't deny it in his heart. Although Alibaba's sniper Tengxun is important, it also needs to improve the user stickiness of his Alipay.

Shopping has basically been monopolized by the Alibaba group, but people's demand for shopping is also a coincidence, far from being as good as the social networking controlled by Teng Xun and the search controlled by Baidu, and even Toutiao cannot compare with today's Toutiao.

Group buying is a business model that integrates traffic entrance and traffic export. Tengxun, Baidu, and Alibaba are all very interested. They have tried it before, but they have retreated because they have entered the market late and have no genes in this regard.

However, the cooperation between Quxin and Meituan has triggered the traffic of group buying and allowed social giant Tengxun to learn a new business model, which naturally attracted the attention of Baidu and Alibaba.

However, Baidu does not have good payment software and social networking, so he cannot enter the market by himself. But Alibaba can do it. If Alipay also monopolizes the traffic of group buying, it can not only consolidate Alibaba's position in the payment field, but also have a new market of 10 billion US dollars.

Therefore, Alibaba’s proposal is so greedy, and it is really too important to have a strong interest relationship.

Xu Maodong didn't say anything, just nodded slowly. He just wanted Alipay's traffic, but he didn't want to be part of the Alipay platform at all.

Ning Zhihao continued: "So, if you each refund half of it, users can go directly to Wowotuan through Alipay to buy group purchases, but you Wowotuan can also use other offers to attract users to download Wowotuan's APP. In this way, who can win the upper hand depends on your own ability."

Xu Maodong frowned. This proposal was not too good, but time was urgent and there seemed to be no other way.

Ning Zhihao thought that this model seemed to be beneficial to Alipay. After all, as a traffic entrance, many things are controlled by the entrance.

"As for what the version page looks like between your cooperation, you can negotiate it yourself and decide it as soon as possible and don't change it, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Chen Zi'ang said with a smile.

He knew that Alipay had other space for operation, so he had to remind Xu Maodong that although Baidu and Alibaba are currently cooperating, as long as they are giants, there will inevitably be competition.

Judging from the current situation, Baidu's business cannot interfere in the group buying market.

Therefore, for the group buying market, Teng Xun is in order to consolidate her social status, obtain a new market for group buying, and improve the payment system.

Alibaba is in order to maintain its monopoly position in payment, preventing Tengxun from expanding as much as possible, and then obtaining a certain market for group buying.

But Baidu is different. His purpose is to prevent any party of Tengxun Ali from achieving his goal and maintaining the previous balance. Therefore, Chen Zi'ang would rather let Wowotuan operate independently than make it a part of Alipay.

However, Tengxun's current strong side still needs to stand on the same front with Alibaba. Baidu, on the PC side, has restricted the current flow to Lashou.com.

Users can search directly for Lashou.com, but searching for other keywords, such as group buying, nearby store information, etc., even if they turn to more than a dozen pages, they can't find the link to Lashou.com.

Baidu's senior management has concluded that this is a battle involving Bat who is stronger and weaker in the next five years. Tens of billions of funds are entering the market, and all means are not a problem, as long as there is a result.

"I think it's OK, it's not a solution for us to hold on." Xu Maodong agreed after pondering for a moment.

Although he also knew that this cooperation was very important to Alibaba, it was the same for himself. Because of losing, Wowotuan might not recover from then on.

The end of Internet companies may be faster than the market's reaction. If Lashou.com expands in an unstoppable way, even if the market of Wowotun has not yet been impacted, as long as the capital market is not optimistic about it and cannot obtain more funds to grab the market, Wowotun will undoubtedly die.

Ning Zhihao said: "I need to report to the headquarters before I can make a decision."

As the leader of the negotiation team, Ning Zhihao has considerable rights, but many things still have to be reported to his boss, and then there will be conflicts and a lot of trouble.

Moreover, even if your boss Ma is not a final decision for many things, it is not a matter of rights, but a strategic arrangement involving the company's development. It will definitely take a lot of people to discuss and make sure it is determined.

This is also the reason why large companies cannot make decisions quickly when facing the trend. If Teng Xun was not threatened by social interaction, but wanted to enter a group buying website, he might not have entered the group buying battle yet, and the group buying battle was over.

Seeing that both of them agreed, Chen Zi'ang said, "Okay, now that the cooperation plan has been decided, the following details will be soon. I will go back to Yanjing to report to Mr. Li. It is best for you to determine the details of the cooperation within two days.

Mr. Xu, for this cooperation, Baidu will promote soft advertising in the bottom of the homepage in the news mode. I am responsible for attracting traffic to you, but whether users can be retained depends on you."

"Okay, my benefits will definitely not disappoint the users." Xu Maodong promised with a smile.

Although it is a soft advertising, it is also a huge amount of traffic.

Wowotuan has also prepared enough subsidies to retain users. If a group buying website wants to retain users, the simplest model is to give enough subsidies, and free is the best.

Now Wowotuan also has enough cash in his hand. He just raised US$200 million in the round of financing in May, and now he has received US$350 million in joint investment from Baidu Alibaba. Such a large amount of funds, even Teng Xun on the opposite side will have a headache.

"Okay, what else does Mr. Ning have?" Chen Ziang asked.

Ning Zhihao said: "It's gone, it's too late now, let's talk about the rest tomorrow."

Xu Maodong smiled and said, "Mr. Ning, Mr. Chen, I have prepared a banquet at the Four Seasons Hotel. Let's go together. After the dinner, there are temple fairs nearby. Tonight, we won't talk about business affairs, so how about having a good time in Jinling City."

Official negotiations are tit-for-tat because the interests involved are too high, but in the rest of the time, we can still gather together to increase our feelings. After all, one party is the senior executive of a giant company and has very large resources. The other party can also be said to be an Internet upstart, and the future may be limitless.

Chen Zi'ang and Ning Zhihao looked at each other, then smiled and said, "Okay, then thank you Mr. Xu."
