"Mr. Ma, I have long admired Daming."

In a private hotel room, Zhou Yujie met Alima, who "I am not interested in money."

As the only entrepreneur in the history of the Internet who does not understand IT, being able to make Alibaba in the top ten in the world can only be described in four incredible words.

Just when Today Youxuan was about to start contacting venture capitalists, he suddenly received an invitation from Ma Yun. Zhou Yujie knew it was not a coincidence, so he rushed over.

"Mr. Zhou, I have been looking forward to this meeting for a long time. Unfortunately, you have never had time to go to Hangzhou, otherwise we would have met long ago." Ma Yun laughed.

"I have been busy lately. Mr. Ma, you know the recent situation of our company, so I can't get away with it." Zhou Yujie sat down.

Alibaba's Internet industry is extremely strong, but the fields involved have nothing to do with Toutiao. Except for Quxin's acceptance of investment, there are no projects to cooperate with in other aspects. It is not convenient for Toutiao to sell traffic, because Taobao has not yet released an APP.

The competition is not obvious. Meituan and Ele.me are today's preferred competitors, but now it is only regional contact. Alibaba is a shareholder of Meituan and Ele.me, but it is only an investment relationship at present.

For Toutiao and Alibaba, there is less cooperation and less confrontation, and the relationship is lukewarm. In this case, Zhou Yujie naturally doesn't care whether to make an appointment with Ma Yun or not, and it is even more impossible for him to go to Hangzhou.

Ma Yun poured two cups of tea, handed one to Zhou Yujie, and smiled and said, "There seems that there is no movement between Quxin and WeChat recently."

Zhou Yujie nodded and said, "The subsidies for the group buying industry have ended. Whether it is Quxin or WeChat, they have basically obtained enough users. The rest must be slowly attracted by time and service."

Ma Yun smiled and said, "Quxin and WeChat now have tens of millions of users. For daily active users, Quxin seems to be a little higher, but if there are no absolute new ideas to break this deadlock, I think Tengxun's advantage should be greater. Mr. Zhou, do you think it's right?"

"Indeed." Zhou Yujie did not deny it.

Quxin can stabilize Quxin's market share and even slowly absorb users by relying on strangers' social networking. However, Tengxun's advantage is that its QQ users are as high as 600 million. After these people use smartphones, 99% of them will use QQ again. As long as they use QQ, they will have the opportunity to transfer to WeChat.

The first step to attract newbie to Toutiao is to preinstall various software, but half of the conversion effect is already amazing. There are many people who don’t like to read news at all. No matter how good your Toutiao big data is, it is useless.

This is also the reason why we need to develop connotation jokes.

On the other hand, Teng Xun has stronger financial resources, and in the long run, WeChat will inevitably have a more advantage.

Ma Yun continued: "When it comes to the group buying industry, the current selection that Mr. Zhou has made recently seems to be in a trend of being so arrogant across the country. Is this the next move that Mr. Zhou has prepared? Using takeaway, we can re-operate the cooperation between Quxin and Meituan again?"

"Mr. Ma, this involves the commercial secrets of our company, and there is nothing to tell me." Zhou Yujie refused with a smile.

Ma Yun didn't take it seriously and said, "Mr. Zhou, Tengxun is our common enemy. Your Quxin is the only product that can threaten its core entrepreneurship at present, but it is difficult to have a chance to win by just you. You need to gather all your strength to have this possibility.

Whether it is me or Li Yanhong, if we can know Quxin's next plan, our industry can prepare early to cooperate, just like the cooperation between Quxin and Meituan. If we had known it before, we would have provided enough funds in the initial stage, then Tengxun would have no chance to counterattack. Maybe Quxin's current market share has monopolized the mobile terminal."

Ma Yun's shoulders shrank slightly, with a very regretful expression.

"There is no concept of if, and the reason why the original plan was successful was a surprise attack. If you all participated, Teng Xun might have known all the plans long ago." Zhou Yujie shook his head and said.

Too many people participate in the plan, it will only be more difficult to keep it confidential, especially for companies like Alibaba. One project requires a lot of people to discuss for half a month, but it would be strange if others don’t know about it.

A small company has the benefits of a small company, and it’s enough that the two founders can discuss it well.

Ma Yun smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't talk about the past. What I want to know is that if Mr. Zhou is preparing to use the traffic in the takeaway industry to cooperate with Quxin, we Alibaba are willing to help."

"What are the conditions?" Zhou Yujie asked back.

Ma Yun looked serious and said, "I hope that among the preferred payment options today, there is only Alipay's choice."

Zhou Yujie smiled, and the request was within his expectations, and said, "Mr. Ma, our Toutiao has its own payment software."

Ma Yun said: "That depends on whether Zhou wants to do a good job in socializing or paying well. You can only take one of the two.

If you don’t make payment, I will do my best to help you build the takeaway market, and then we will deal with Teng Xun.

If you insist on doing it yourself, then I can only support other takeaway platforms. Mr. Zhou, you also know that because of the expansion of your preferred business today, there are already a large number of takeaway platforms in various places.

Teng Xun has now started to contact them. In the future, in the takeaway field, there will be a money-burning war similar to the group buying market. Is Mr. Zhou really ready?"

"What kind of cooperation agreement would that be?" Zhou Yujie asked.

Ma Yun said: "Ali will acquire Toutiao's Huifutong at a double price. At the same time, I will inject funds again into Today's Youxuan and Quxin. Alibaba has won the board seat of Quxin and Today's Youxuan's veto. This veto will not involve operations, but only involves the choice of payment software."

"Mr. Ma, do you really think that a takeaway market is so important?" Zhou Yujie said with a look at Ma Yun.

Ma Yun smiled and said, "Whether it matters or not, it actually depends on how Mr. Zhou plans his future business model in his mind.

Judging from the current situation, the prospects for the takeaway market are no smaller than group buying, which is also very suitable for Toutiao's current business structure with only traffic but no profit model. I think that as long as you can control even a small part of the takeaway market, Toutiao's profitability will undergo a qualitative change."

Although Toutiao has a business model of precisely positioning and advertising, advertising monetization will always be at the lowest level.

At present, Toutiao has huge traffic. If it can only rely on advertising to monetize in the future, it will not be able to form a scale at all.

App treasure itself can be sold in rankings or charged, but the ceiling is limited and can only exist as an auxiliary business.

Quxin is even worse. Quxin itself is very sticky, but the essence of social software leads to basically 0 advertising, which can only attract traffic for other software.

Although Toutiao also has a Tuyou game and several mobile games, its profitability may be good, but it is far from meeting the scale of Toutiao.

To the outside world, Toutiao companies nowadays are of too large traffic to be monetized.

Therefore, after Quxin and Meituan cooperated, Toutiao made every effort to do takeout, and the outside world generally believed that Toutiao wanted to transform the takeout model into the company's huge traffic export.

However, Alibaba's senior management attaches great importance to any company that does its own payment, invests heavily in Wowotuan and burns money to compete with Tengxun in order to prevent the other party from entering the payment field.

Now, Toutiao has also used its own payment software on Toutiao. Although the scale is still small, in the takeaway field, Toutiao is already the number one at the moment. With the traffic behind Toutiao, Ma Yun has to pay attention to this potential threat.

But Wowotuan had all ended before. Although it blocked Teng Xun's expansion, it also caused Alibaba to suffer heavy losses. Moreover, Alibaba did not want to offend a teammate who had traffic and had good relationships at present.

After all, Alibaba has too high demand for traffic. In the PC era, there was a time when Baidu started e-commerce and banned Taobao's traffic in an instant. Users searched for the word Taobao, and the first line was Baidu's own shopping website link. Ma Yun was so angry that she cursed the wall.

But without traffic, it is controlled by others. If it weren't for knowing that it was impossible to acquire the entire Toutiao now, he would have endorsed the price no matter how much it was.

"If I don't agree, I want to know what will happen next?" Zhou Yujie asked.

Ma Yun said with a pity: "We cannot compromise when it comes to payment, and I can only further support Meituan."
