295、Build a nuclear bomb
Luo Xiu has been rushing between various departments these days, with only one purpose, and that is to invite the founders of the top group buying websites to hold an industry meeting.
Now we finally have everyone together.
"Hello fellow colleagues who love each other!"
Luo Xiu's opening remarks shocked the big guys below.
The people who hate you the most are often your colleagues. Let alone love each other, let alone love and kill each other. They just want you to die.
For a moment, they wondered if five hundred swordsmen were ambushing the house. Just waiting for the signal of throwing a cup, they rushed out and chopped the people in the house into mincemeat.
"Like everyone else, I am the founder of a group buying website. I believe that your recent feelings about Thousand Group War are similar to mine.
This should be the first time in our history that there has been such a brutal subsidy war, and we can only give our original equity to capital, and then invest the money in the hands of capital into this war."
Everyone couldn't help but nodded when they heard what Luo Xiu said.
The founders are not capital, and they don’t have much wealth. If they want to win, they can only bow to capital.
Luo Xiu continued: "We don't know who can win this war, but each of us is on the gambling table. We can only keep throwing money at the gambling table. After the money is spent, we can only take our wives and children (
(original equity) and capital in exchange for money, and continue to play. In the middle, there are people who can no longer get the money, so they can only quit with hatred."
Everyone was silent and listened to Luo Xiu continue to talk. The general situation he mentioned happens every day. There are 4,000 gamblers, and there are only a few left who can survive until now.
"We are all just gamblers at the card table, and the capital is the casino owner who issues loan sharks. The foreseeable outcome is that in this gambling game, only one gambler can survive, and the winner is also injured.
"
At this time, someone stood up and said: "You don't need to teach me this truth. We all know it very well, but since we have entered this game, we can only compete with each other, kill other people, and become the only winner."
"Mr. Luo, if you are afraid, you can leave early. We will have one less opponent."
Luo Xiu smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about it, we can temporarily stop the fighting at the card table and kill the loan shark casino owner first, and then we can decide the outcome ourselves. No matter who wins in the end, it will be fine.
Our benefits will all be greater.”
"Kill the casino owner? Don't be kidding me."
Luo Xiu ignored him and continued: "In the early days of starting a business, we all needed financing to help us develop the market. But at this stage, the money we ask for from capital is mostly spent on subsidizing internal consumption. As long as we jointly formulate some
Rules, stop those means of internal friction, do not allow money-losing subsidies, and let everyone occupy the market according to their own abilities, and we will not be restricted by capital."
Having said this, some bosses are already moved.
They are all platforms that are about to burn out their funds and will be defeated in the subsidy war.
If from now on, no one allows subsidies or engages in price wars, then they can survive and get back to the starting line.
"Mr. Luo makes sense. Although we have a lot of money and we are not afraid of continuing the fight, there is no need to waste it in vain." The boss who said this was actually running out of ammunition and food, but he always said that he had plenty of money.
"I also agree with Mr. Luo's suggestion that this industry cannot be without rules."
"Let's set up an industry association. Everyone must act within the rules."
…
Luo Xiu glanced at it and realized that those who spoke out in support were the platform bosses who were about to lose money. If they continued to fight for money, they would definitely be the first group of people to be eliminated.
"I just received 100 million U.S. dollars in financing, why do you say you won't play if you don't want to play?"
"We also got more than 100 million, so we two can continue to play."
The two people who spoke this time have already taken the lead and obtained a large amount of financing. As long as they continue to burn money, they are likely to win this victory. They will not give up their rare advantage and return to the starting line.
Luo Xiu knew that this was the biggest problem in formulating new regulations.
How to convince the leader to give up its biggest advantage? Why should they listen to you?
"Is 100 million U.S. dollars a lot?" Luo Xiu took out a document, "Our rice group pledged its equity to the bank not long ago and obtained a loan of one billion U.S. dollars. Do you want to continue playing with me, or can you join us together?"
"Are you crazy?"
Of course no one can afford to burn these billions.
The problem is that banks are not philanthropists. They have to pay back the money they borrow. After burning the money, they will not be able to get it back in a year or two.
If you don't pay the money by then, the bank will not return the equity to you.
Even if we win in the end, it is equivalent to helping the bank win.
The rice ball move is equivalent to building a nuclear bomb and holding it in your hand. If you want to fight, then detonate the nuclear bomb and everyone will die together.
Moreover, other platforms cannot build this nuclear bomb because their equity is not worth that much money.
In addition to group buying business, rice balls also have takeout business, physical retail business, countless warehousing sites, cloud warehouse business, and intra-city delivery business...
These businesses themselves have a valuation of well over one billion US dollars. Coupled with the support of the Yangcheng government and the future help of my father-in-law as a guarantee, we can obtain such a large loan.
With this nuclear bomb in hand, if you want to use subsidies, then you will die together. In the end, the platform will be owned by the state.
"Well... I also think it's wrong to blindly burn money."
"Indeed, as Mr. Luo said, everyone should sit down together and discuss a rule together, and everyone should act within the rule."
"Vicious competition hurts both users and ourselves. In the end, only capital benefits."
After they discovered that someone had a bigger fist, they all became calmer and were willing to sit down and talk.
What's more, this man is still a madman. When he goes crazy, he will even beat himself. Who dares to mess with him!
At this time, someone else said: "Even if I agree to establish an industry association and everyone sets the rules, there is no authoritative referee who can guarantee that everyone will act according to the rules!"
"Yes, even if we are all honest people and follow the rules at the beginning, but after a while, some people fall behind and are about to be eliminated, then who cares about your rules?"
These are very real problems. If you are going to die, who cares about your rules? If you catch quicklime in your hand, you are not allowed to throw it on your opponent's face?
In the previous life, the result of the two parties sitting down and negotiating could only be a merger.
"I have already found a referee." Luo Xiu glanced at everyone, "The only one who can serve as our referee, who can convince everyone, and who has enough power to execute penalties is the country."
The scene was quiet for a few minutes.
"If the state acts as the referee, then I have no problem with it."
"I have no objection either."
"Second."
