Although Didi uses the method of registering equity overseas to avoid being found in Toutiao, this method can only hide it from those who are not very interested in Didi. If other investors want to invest, then the equity structure behind Didi will definitely need to be exposed.

Even if it can be concealed, it cannot be concealed, because forcibly defrauding may involve legal issues. In the early stage, it will also cause a huge impact on DiDi and even Toutiao.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yujie couldn't help but think that if we look at this trend, the online car-hailing war may break out at any time, maybe at the end of this year or at the beginning of next year.

Fortunately, the profits in overseas games are already considerable. If Didi financing is used, coupled with the low traffic drainage cost of Toutiao, it will not be much worse for Tengxun Alibaba!

...

A month passed in a flash.

The final box office of "Detective Chinatown" was 920 million, which is about 100 million yuan compared with history. This is not only a drainage of Toutiao's strong recommendation capabilities, but also the result of appropriate subsidies from Nuomi.com.

The box office of "I Am Not a God of Medicine" is much higher. In a month, the total box office is as high as 2 billion. Although the daily results have declined, depending on the trend, it will not be a problem to get another hundreds of millions in the next half month.

This result is not only breaking the summer record, but also the highest box office record of the entire domestic movie. No single movie in the Marvel series has achieved this result.

The reason why it is so good is not only because of the traffic of Toutiao, but its content directly hits the most vulnerable part of people's hearts, and is also the most worried part of people's lives - what should I do if this kind of thing happens to me!

After the movie, Toutiao began another round of publicity, but it was not the movie itself, but some of the patients who shared Shuidichou, who took advantage of the craze caused by the movie to raise funds for tens of thousands of patients in danger across the country.

In addition to the traffic controlled by Toutiao, people also began to discuss it in various comment areas independently. On Weibo, the topic of targeted drugs has also become hot searches several times. People's attention to this aspect has increased dozens of times after "I'm Not a God of Medicine".

At the same time, some key figures also began to speak. Some NPC representatives publicly claimed that medical funds should find ways to help these patients who are seriously ill but have no money to treat. The important issues are the tariffs on imported anti-cancer drugs, the problems of self-producing drugs, and the cost of middlemen circulation.

There is naturally support in public opinion.

...

In September, Toutiao signed a land purchase agreement with the Shanghai Stock Exchange Government, transferring a piece of land with an area of ​​30,000 square meters in *** District to Toutiao for 600 million yuan, for the purpose of user construction headquarters.

After paying 600 million yuan, Toutiao quickly contacted CITIC Bank and mortgaged the land and future headquarters building to borrow RMB 2 billion. However, this amount of funds cannot be received in one go. Instead, it is allocated one by one according to the construction cycle of the building.

At the same time, Toutiao officially started the bidding for the newly built headquarters building. The design fee alone was as high as 100 million yuan. Domestic and foreign design companies suddenly became lively and sent their own representatives to Shanghai to discuss cooperation matters, intending to win this huge order.

Even if the speed is fast, the design and subsequent construction time, Toutiao will probably have to wait two years before it can settle in. During this period, Toutiao's rapid expansion also led to insufficient space in the original headquarters. Therefore, Toutiao acquired a building near its headquarters, but it was not rented, but bought. As for the funds, it was mainly through loans from CITIC and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.

After alleviating the office problems of the entire company, Zhou Yujie once again focused his attention on the domestic online car-hailing market.

With Uber's expansion in the European market and the above-mentioned attitude of turning a blind eye to the entry of civilian vehicles into the commercial field, various venture capital firms have also developed great confidence and investment interest in the domestic online car-hailing market.

Although online car-hailing platforms are also offline businesses, they are very light and light asset models, because all cars belong to partners.

In this regard, online car-hailing is even lighter than the former group buying website and is much simpler to operate, because the partner of group buying is stores, and the stores are fixed, which is greatly restricted by space. However, there is no such situation in online car-hailing. Four wheels can be driven anywhere.

This also leads to the fact that online car-hailing platforms are much simpler when they are established. As long as you get a certain driver and then spend money to promote your own platform, a new technology company will be born. Next, you will be waiting for venture capital investment.

However, success and failure are both storms. The overly simple model has also led to the birth of a large number of online ride-hailing platforms, and competition has become very fierce, and small-scale money-burning wars often occur.

With the rapid development of the payment industry, various payment giants naturally saw the importance of the online ride-hailing industry to payment, so the giants began to invest their own investments.

Kuaidi is an online ride-hailing platform born in Hangzhou. Its history is even earlier than Didi. Its founder naturally came out of Alibaba. Later, at the beginning of this year, Kuaidi obtained Alibaba's Angel Round and A-round Investment.

The shaking car in Yanjing also received US$15 million from Teng Xun and then quickly expanded.

Online ride-hailing was quickly followed by capital, and Toutiao was promptly announced, investing US$20 million in Didi, headquartered in Yanjing. At the same time, Toutiao has also begun to officially promote Didi. In the city where Didi's business is located, all users can also follow Didi's official account and take a taxi directly from the Quxin platform.

The rise of online car-hailing has made the Internet industry know that soon, a new battlefield will be rewarded here, but at present, because the overlap between cities is not high, competition will only appear in some cities, but in the national atmosphere.

Going to Shanghai Stock Exchange, Toutiao New Headquarters:

"Mr. Zhou, I recently got a platform called Bumblebee Taxi on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. They currently only have subsidies on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Because the subsidies are strong enough, the market share in the Shanghai Stock Exchange is close to DiDi. I want to apply for another fund to win the Bumblebee off in the Shanghai Stock Exchange."

In Zhou Yujie's office, Zhang Bohui reported that because Toutiao officially announced the investment in Didi, and Toutiao's new headquarters specially left a location for Didi, Zhang Bo simply built a second headquarters in Shangshanghai, which would make it much more convenient to report.
