Chapter 1008 Chinese Enterprises Go Overseas
Although some people have proposed new retail and the Guokr brand has become a symbol of first-class brands in the hearts of Chinese people, the biggest hot topic at home and abroad is undoubtedly online ride-hailing. Not only is the development of this industry very fast, but it is even more contemptuous of the anti-uber movement that has emerged worldwide. Well, the domestic anti-Didi.
A passenger in a certain place was killed, and the murderer was a Uber driver; a driver in a certain place was killed, and the murderer was a passenger: the development of Uber in a certain place seriously affected the income of taxi drivers, so a major strike occurred, and then the download usage of Uber increased rapidly in the local area. The taxi driver went on strike, which accelerated the development of Uber. In addition to the legal restrictions in some places and the crazy competition of similar companies, online car-hailing rushed forward in this world with the courage to move forward. As the Uber under the greatest pressure, he naturally gained the greatest economic benefits.
SoftBank invested uber 1 billion US dollars and became a major shareholder of uber. Its valuation is also growing rapidly, and it may have a market value of 30 billion US dollars in more than a month. Although uber has entered the Chinese market, the two largest players in China are Didi and Kuaidi. Liu Chuanzhi's daughter Liu Qing joined the Sixiang Fund early, and then became the president of Didi, and started merger negotiations with Alibaba's Kuaidi. Everything seems to have entered the original track of history again. There are only some small changes, such as Jabs's Cowhide, and the launch of Nut Smart TV was hit hard due to the emergence of Friends.
The merger of Didi Kuaidi has not been officially announced. The shares of Time and Sixiang Fund are combined to be the largest shareholders of New Didi. Zhou Shi met New Didi's Cheng Wei, Lu Wei and Liu Qing in this context.
"You really decided to merge?" Zhou Shi
"Of course!" Cheng Wei and the other two said affirmatively
"Hey, I don't know how to evaluate this merger. Monopoly is a good thing for investment, but it is not so beautiful for the entire industry and consumers." Zhou Shi
"We can ensure that Didi will not use its monopoly advantages to do evil!"
"You admire Google very much and want to learn their principle of not doing evil?" Zhou Shi
"Google is excellent, it is our goal of learning!" Cheng Wei
"The goal of learning?" Zhou Shi muttered secretly after hearing this, but did not say it out.
"But if you don't do evil, you have to define what evil is first, what do you think evil is? Is this question easy to understand?" Zhou Shi
"So Mr. Zhou doesn't agree with our merger?" Lu Wei
"The industry is still developing rapidly, and mergers cannot eliminate competition. Just like the merger of Youku and Tudou, it has achieved iQiyi, Baidu and Penguin Video. If you want me to say that you might as well stop vicious price competition under the coordination of relevant departments." Zhou Shi
"..." The three of them did not expect that the merger would be signed, but Zhou Shi opposed it at this time.
"Forget it, since you have decided to merge, when will you go abroad to compete with Uber? You won't just want to unify the Chinese market and then become the king in your nest with huge advantages?" Zhou Shi
"It is easy to get out, but we lack the necessary talents." Cheng Wei
"Oh, then!" Zhou Shi
"We think that Mr. Zhou has a lot of experience in this regard. Can he help us!" Liu Qing
"Damn, it turns out you want to poach people from me." Zhou Shi laughed
"The most successful person in the domestic Internet industry is time friends. We not only need talents, but also Mr. Zhou's experience, how did we cultivate talents in the first place." Cheng Wei
"This problem is quite big, and every place is different. Simply put, it is to spend money first to occupy the market, delegate power to build a team for local people, open up the market, and then form a relative advantage, use capital and law as weapons to allow qualified talents to replace unqualified talents, and let their own people gain control of the company..." Zhou Shi
Zhou Shi's success in going abroad is obviously constantly tempting domestic entrepreneurs. Didi Chuxing has just gained an advantage in China and immediately thought about going abroad. Compared with Didi in his previous life, they are obviously more ideal this time.
Compared with giants like Didi that have grown up, there are many live broadcast platforms that plan to go overseas, whether it is a game platform like Douyu, or a talent show for beauty, etc. Wang Gongzi of Wanda said on Weibo: Internationalization is not the only way to do it.
Faced with this guy's repeated troubleshooting, Zhou Shi was speechless. Internationalization is a free choice, and perhaps it will be a must for the development of the enterprise in the future. Why should you become an international company with no market share in China? Besides, how do you do it is your own business, and why should it be my head? At this time, Zhou Shi completely forgot about the fact that Guoke mobile phones were involved in the battle with Apple iPhone from the beginning.
"I discussed some topics about education with my friends today and learned that there are many incredible views in China that I think. After thinking about it, I will still publicly express my views. Although it is not necessarily correct, I can at least give you some thoughts." Zhou Shi on Weibo
"When it comes to education, we must refer to successful experiences around the world. I read some surveys done by iResearch International and have my own opinions.
First of all, we need to determine whether China needs elite education or collective education? We can also change the question. What is the purpose of our education? How much is we willing to pay for learning knowledge... (The National Museum tour guide He Senbao (Yuan Shuo), once said that a junior high school in a suburb of Beijing "took special classes at the National Museum", but for nutritious meals, you can come one hour late and walk one hour early. A key primary school in the city can endure hunger or even miss lunch time to listen to classes.)
Then we talk about the education system in China. For example, the college entrance examination system that criticized the most is fair and reasonable in my opinion. Although it is rigid, it allows capable students to stand out based on their abilities without competing with their parents' sponsorship of universities. Even if the opportunities for poor students are getting fewer, rich people cannot operate at will. At present, there is no more advanced system in the world than the college entrance examination.
Don’t tell me what’s wrong with Europe and the United States. The families they can afford to pay tuition accounts for a very small proportion of the national population. If you think most Chinese people with average family conditions do not need to receive a high-level education, then I’m wrong...
Then let’s talk about universities. Is there any difference between top Chinese universities and top overseas universities? It is certain that there is. But it is not a bad student in overseas universities who can become a top student when they arrive in China. It is certain that it is impossible. One reason for the formation of poor student in university is talent issues, such as choosing the wrong major and not finding the right major that suits you. Another is subjective initiative. If you don’t work hard, you will be useless everywhere.
