Tengxun secretly develops a project similar to a fruit forest, which can easily hide it from outsiders, but it is impossible for people to not know about offline channels.

When Quxin was preparing before, no one knew the plan and purpose, and no one would care. Now, Toutiao's eyes have long been on the fruit market. Someone is preparing to secretly buy thousands of tons of fruit, and at the same time cooperates with SF Express. On the second day after Tengxun's offline layout, Zhou Yujie learned about this news.

After learning about it, Zhong Guangwei smiled and said, "As expected, Teng Xun can only imitate our routine."

Zhou Yujie shook his head and smiled, "It's not their fault. In this case, it is impossible for you to let Teng Xun make an innovation to defeat us."

As long as your model is simple enough, it is the best model, because competitors cannot have a simpler model.

Lin Youde asked: "Although we can minimize costs, and if we open up today's preferred channels in the future, it can also improve user experience, but if Teng Xun spends money desperately in this injury mode, then it will be difficult for Quxin to last even if it raises funds."

Compared with giants, funds are the biggest problem for Toutiao. It attracts Baidu’s funds to enter today’s preferred and gives up payment benefits at the same time to avoid direct head-on encounters with giants. However, the social war between Quxin and Tencent is a social war, and outsiders will not participate. With Tengxun’s full efforts, the funds are Toutiao’s biggest loophole.

Zhou Yujie smiled and said, "We have the advantage of starting Fruit Forest for at least 3 months. In addition, we will adopt the same-day delivery strategy in the future. It is not that easy for Tengxun to catch up with us. As for what happens next, there is no need to worry too much. At that time, I have my own way."

Zhong Guangwei and Lin Youde looked at each other. They probably knew that Zhou Yujie must have a response plan in his mind, but the boss didn't say it. Although they wanted to know, they didn't ask much.

Zhou Yujie then asked: "Has the Toutiao started to place planting advertisements?"

"Yes, we specifically target some places where fruits are abundant. I guess a group of users will be locked in another week. At that time, we will launch advertisements that will bring them into the group." Lin Youde replied.

Zhou Yujie nodded and asked Zhong Guangwei again: "Where is the cooperation with SF Express?"

Zhong Guangwei said: "I have sent someone to SF Express headquarters for negotiations. The cooperation has been decided at present, but the price is still being negotiated."

"Okay." Zhou Yujie nodded and said, "I will continue to do this project. Even if we win WeChat one day, we will not give up."

Zhong Guangwei's heart moved and asked tentatively: "Is it because of qq?"

Zhou Yujie smiled and said, "Theoretically, QQ is impossible to be defeated, but the amount of social communication is another matter."

[Social Communication Volume]? Lin Youde and Zhong Guangwei roughly understood what Zhou Yujie meant. Socialization is social, and the monopoly position of QQ is indeed impossible to crack, but the traffic generated by QQ is another matter. Just like the text messages and phone calls of telecom giants, they are needed by every mobile phone and are also necessary, but apart from the necessary time, how many people will open it without any trouble?

"Okay, these things are still far away, let's talk about them later." Zhou Yujie paused and said, "How is Nuomi.com's acquisition?"

Lin Youde said: "Zhu Wenbin has gone to Yanjing. Chen Yizhou from Renren is still very strong now. He doesn't want money, he wants today's preferred shares."

"This Chen Yizhou is quite good at investing, but unfortunately he is not very good at operating." Zhou Yujie said with a smile and shook his head.

Before being acquired by Baidu, Nuomi.com was an o2o business platform under Renren.com. Renren had long declined in the 1920s, but now it is in its prime. After listing on Nasdaq last year, its market value once reached US$7 billion. It is known as China's Facebook, and its traffic in the PC social field is second to Tengxun and Sina.

Unfortunately, such a platform has gradually declined because managers cannot operate it, because Chen Yizhou is an investor, not an operator. The predecessor of Renren.com is actually the current business of Meituan Wangxing, which is only sold because of a broken capital chain.

With this trend, Renren rose rapidly after obtaining funds and had huge traffic, but Chen Yizhou only thought about how to cash out, regardless of how to carry out social publicity. In addition, the current battle between Quxin and WeChat has led to the fact that mobile social networking has attracted more people than the original history. Renren has not entered the mobile terminal and naturally began to decline.

However, Chen Yizhou is still very capable. Although Renren.com has declined in later generations, Renren.com's traffic has not been wasted. Renrenche, Renrendai, Renren Video, Renren Live, etc., even 56 Video was once Chen Yizhou's prey. If it were not acquired by Toutiao, it would have been ruined by him in the end.

"What is the valuation of Nuomi.com?" Zhou Yujie asked.

Lin Youde said: "It's about 60 million US dollars, which is the data obtained by a professional team sent by Sequoia Capital."

"This is not too much." Zhou Yujie nodded. In original history, in 2013, Baidu acquired 59% of Nuomi.com's shares for US$160 million, with a total valuation of US$271 million. However, this is a result one year later. Although Nuomi.com's development this year is not as good as Meituan, it also has certain achievements. Otherwise, Baidu would not have acquired it. Moreover, it is now a period of sluggishness in the group buying market, and its valuation is definitely not as good as a year ago.

Lin Youde continued: "Mr. Zhou, Nuomi.com currently has a coverage area of ​​hundreds of cities. Although the number of users in a single city is far less than that of Meituan, it finally has a foundation. Moreover, the market for Nuomi is mainly in North China, which is a place that is not covered today. I think this acquisition is still worth considering."

"Okay, since it is helpful to Today Youxuan's business, let's acquire it with shares. However, Today Youxuan's valuation must be set at US$2.5 billion." Zhou Yujie nodded and agreed. The last financing was valuation of Today Youxuan's valuation of 1.5 billion. Now that Today Youxuan's business scope has been further expanded, the valuation must of course be higher.

"Okay, then I'll notify Zhu Wenbin immediately." Lin Youde said with a smile.

"No, I think it's better for you to go there in person." Zhou Yujie suddenly said.

"I'll go?" Lin Youde was stunned.
