"Shame!"

Tan Xiaoman has a strong desire to be brave after knowing shame.

Zhou Kuan was too lazy to comfort him and said bluntly: "It's good that you know, Honghu-life is just a subsidiary, you were only temporary in the past, so why did you seem to be bound? At least you have to think about the problem from the perspective of the group."

"I won't say much about this, anyway, you know it."

Tan Xiaoman focused heavily: "Yes, you can see it at first sight for five years. If I can't keep up, it will be really embarrassing to the old Tan family and myself."

"Don't forget the pride of meeting for the first time." Zhou Kuan smiled and joked.

“…”

Tan Xiaoman won’t say much.

The two of them slowly finished a pot of tea, and it was almost three o'clock.

Then I took the elevator to several floors.

Soon a waiter led into a private meeting room with exquisite decoration and elegant layout.

Compared to Zhou Kuan, Tan Xiaoman arrived first was Honghu, the vice president of life.

This is the first time Zhou Kuan has seen him.

Now Zhou Kuan is bubbling in Honghu's small headquarters, R&F Center, 1603. He doesn't know where the gate of Honghu's life office is open yet.

It's just in this state.

It’s really Mr. Zhou doesn’t have that much energy.

As time goes by, Honghu becomes bigger and bigger, Zhou Kuan will obviously become unfamiliar with more business and affairs within the group.

Just like those bosses with hundreds of thousands or millions of employees, no matter how energy he has, he can't go through all the departments of the company he manages, or even branches.

Zhou Kuan was wearing a casual dress today. At least she was still a shirt rather than a T-shirt. She was young. The vice president looked at her several times but didn't know how to say hello.

But Zhou Kuan didn't mean to introduce himself.

Tan Xiaoman was too lazy to introduce it.

This made the vice president very distressed.

secretary?

driver?

assistant?

Suiting escort?

What?

But soon, the vice president had no energy to think about this issue.

Because the invited guests arrived one after another.

Of course he can only be responsible for receiving everyone.

Soon, 11 people sat down in this private conference room, three people on Honghu's side, and the other 8 were invited, and there were only 5 people actually talking.

There are three people who are secretaries and assistants.

Tan Xiaoman said with a smile: "Thank you very much for coming from afar."

"This is not the first time we have met some bosses, so let's get straight to the point."

Tan Xiaoman said without any skills.

Everyone should do this.

"good."

"It's up to Mr. Tan."

"Mr. Tan is so pleased."

“…”

Seeing this, Tan Xiaoman directly and openly explained his meaning: "Several people hold many shares of Lashou, Dianping and other platforms, and you have also invested in these platforms;

The group buying industry has progressed to this point, so I won’t say much about the situation;

Our idea is very simple, to acquire these platforms at a fair price to avoid further consumption.”

At the end, Tan Xiaoman looked at one of them: "Mr. Zhang, this is not the first time we have cooperated. Please express your opinion."

The middle-aged man who was called Mr. Zhang was not surprised and smiled slightly: "I have no objection. The previous cooperation with your company was very pleasant. As Mr. Tan said, the development status of the group buying industry is clear at a glance. Since Honghu is willing to come forward to completely integrate resources, we are of course happy to support it."

"Yes, yes, I have no objection."

“…”

Soon everyone expressed their opinions.

There is no opinion.

At this critical moment, when the merchants have already carried their buckets to the Biling Platform, they will be dying for face if they hold on.

Since Honghu is willing to acquire it at a fair price, they are naturally happy to recover their investment.

After all, it is a platform to survive the cold winter.

According to the current parity, their investment is basically not a loss, and it only lasted for a few months, so the impact is not very big.

In this private conference room, Honghu completed the acquisition of four platforms including Dianping and Lashou.

It costs a little money, but not too much.

After all, all platforms involved in the group buying industry have been completely disabled after the previous sets of operations. Either they have no market share or they have been damaged after supervision.

Even the most famous Dianping has been in a slump.

In fact, it is similar to Wang Xing’s idea. If you hold on for a while, it will be a little more valuable. If you can sell it a little, it will be a little more valuable.

…………

The transactions between Honghu and several platforms were reached very quickly.

The talks started at three o'clock and the signing started at three o'clock.

At four o'clock, websites such as Billy, Lashou, Dianping and other websites also released news to the public.

Pilgrim formally merged these platforms.

Interestingly, after the news came out, rumors soon came out, saying that the internal office competition in Tencent was in the QQ group buying was self-defeating.

In the blink of an eye, 9 to 5.

Then another platform with a good framework was also acquired by Honghu's low-key income, and the cost this time was even smaller.

In this round of package acquisitions and mergers, Honghu spent a total of 190 million yuan.

Although Dianping, the most expensive, was crippled, the overall framework is very complete. It has experienced several rounds of financing, and the parity is 120 million yuan.

Acquisitions and mergers can also be used as a supplement to Pilgrim.

In fact, after Tan Xiaoman reached a cooperation agreement in just a few words, the only group buying platforms remaining were Meituan and Ele.me.

Ele.me decisively announced various strategies to the public, and Alibaba, who entered Ele.me six years earlier than later generations, gave great support.

Not only about funds, but also about resources.

The release of these strategies will obviously stabilize Ele.me's existing market share, which is clearly a matter of thinking that Honghu needs to win.

There is even an implicit meaning: Is Honghu planning to monopolize the challenge of Iron Fist?

There is no swan.

Honghu has no movement.

But others have actions.

From the market perspective, there are still 4 platforms left, which are not in line with the stability of the triangle.

One of Meituan and another platform that has actually been put in several layers of wholly owned by Honghu has always had to be removed.

Wang Xingduo was proud and looked around at the brink of confusion. He saw that Honghu had no plans to acquire Meituan.

A ‘cautious’ decision was made.

There are 9 sites in name of disbanding, but in fact, there are only 3 sites that can barely operate Meituan.

Then, the entire network vibrated.

Numerous comments soon appeared.

Someone briefly described the process: "It's done in one day, and it seems like a joke. In fact, Honghu still went all out, launched a multi-in-one battle with channels, advertising, and prices, and carried out joint combat. What's different is that Honghu's approach is to let the first-ranked neighbors in the market join forces with most other players to fight together; in the final analysis, it's a sentence: Money can make ghosts!"

“…”

On August 4, 2010, Biling relaxed the group buying industry, and the battle for the group buying industry that dominated the world, which was a huge group buying industry came to an end in a dull manner.
