Chapter 283 The top four pattern, my sister-in-law is pregnant!
Baizhou County.
Baili Tongyun is watching the Spring Festival Gala with her parents, which is their annual repertoire.
Of course, it is inevitable that you will be urged by your parents to get married, which is also a routine!
"Daughter, today my parents have to play the old tune again. What do you think about marriage? You are already in your thirties and are an older single woman. If you don't get married quickly, you will really not be able to get married!" Baili's mother said worriedly.
Baili Tongyun smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, how many times have you said this? I know it in my heart!"
Baili's mother said angrily: "If you have any idea, you won't be alone until today!"
Baili's father also responded: "Daughter, Dad actually wishes you never marry for the rest of your life, but this is impossible. You will eventually marry and have children. Since that's the case, it's better to be early than late. After all, there are still risks for older mothers!"
Baili Tongyun said helplessly: "I understand, I will find it as soon as possible!"
Baili's mother said, "Then I'll give you another year. Don't talk about whether to get married or not. At least you will bring your boyfriend back to see us, so as not to delay it again and again. If you delay for a few more years, there will be a time when you regret it!"
Baili Tongyun changed the topic and said: "Okay, parents, I won't talk about this topic today. The WeChat collection of five blessings is about to draw the lottery. Let's see who will be lucky tonight!"
Baili's mother looked at the time. The WeChat collection of Wufu really was about to draw the prize, and she didn't care about preaching to her daughter. She quickly picked up her mobile phone on the table, opened the page of Wufu in WeChat collection, and started waiting for the lottery.
At the same time, countless users from all over the country who participated in the WeChat Five Blessings event were waiting for the lottery draw.
When the time comes, the lottery will be divided into three batches. The first batch is the first batch of users who collected the five blessings in the first three million, the second batch is the first batch of users who collected the five blessings in the first three million, and the third batch is the remaining users who collected the five blessings in the first three million.
Baili Tongyun and Baili Ma are both the first users to collect all the five blessings. When the time just reached 22:18, they directly sent out a red envelope, and the mother and daughter opened the red envelope almost at the same time.
As soon as the red envelope was opened, Baili Tongyun laughed and said, "I got 188 yuan, I'm not lucky!" This average person costs 100 yuan, and she grabs 188 yuan, so luck is indeed good.
Baili's mother also said happily: "I'm lucky enough. I got 168 yuan. Husband, how many did you get?"
Baili’s father is the second batch of users who have collected all the five blessings. The lottery draw time is only a few seconds later than the first batch. He just opened the red envelope. When he heard his wife ask, he saw the amount of the red envelope and said with a smile: “I’m pretty lucky, I got 36 yuan.”
This luck is quite good.
Baili's mother smiled happily and said, "It seems that our family is going to have a great harvest this year!"
The family of three is in a good mood. Their family is indeed not short of this amount of money, but the meaning of this kind of red envelope is different.
...
Liu Xiahui's family was the first batch of users to collect five blessings, so they gained a lot. Liu Yuansheng grabbed 118 yuan, Jiang Shiyun grabbed 166 yuan, Liu Xiahui grabbed 108 yuan, Tang Xiaomin grabbed 122 yuan, and Liu Xiaoxian grabbed 138 yuan.
All are above average.
After the WeChat collection of Five Blessings lottery, some people cheered, some envied, some sighed, some regretted, and some were depressed. The amount of red envelopes that everyone grabbed was very different, especially compared with the first batch of users who collected Five Blessings, they were just in the sky and underground.
If it were Alipay in his previous life, it would have been scolded as a dog, but few people would have scolded WeChat. The reason is very simple. After collecting all the five blessings, everyone actually knew it.
After all, the money that can be divided is there. Everyone knows how much money can be divided by people in each batch on average, and the amount after the lottery is generally not much different from the average.
The users who failed to squeeze into the top 10 million have a consolation prize, which can be said to be evenly affected by rain and dew.
...
The next day, all aspects of the letter were released. Unexpectedly, even with the super platform of the Spring Festival Gala, the sending and receiving data of Q letter red envelopes is still inferior to that of WeChat red envelopes.
Of course, registered users and card-binding users must be awesome in Q letters.
Nowadays, the total registered users of Qxin have exceeded 100 million, reaching more than 130 million. There are also many card-binding users, with more than 60 million, nearly half of the data.
But compared to WeChat, it's far from that.
Originally, WeChat’s registered users exceeded 500 million. After the Wufu activity, WeChat users have reached an astonishing 600 million, and card-binding users have exceeded 300 million. It is definitely a giant that no one can shake.
In this regard, whether it is Q letter or Alipay, it feels like Alexander.
...
After the Spring Festival, Liu Guihua, Chen Huihuang, Guan Chunzhi and other brothers arranged their business one after another, and then gathered to prepare for the big project of shared bicycles with Liu Xiahui.
Yes, although this project is an optional small project for Liu Xiahui, it is definitely a big project for Liu Guihua and others.
Liu Xiahui did not participate too much, but sent a right-hand assistant to the group to help build the company's framework, leaving the rest to Liu Guihua and others.
Anyway, the general direction has been decided, and the rest are just some small problems, which are just used to hone these brothers.
In the early stage of the company, Liu Xiahui could do a lot of effort to help, but in the later stage, these brothers still have to let these brothers do it themselves.
After all, he can help for a while but not for a lifetime. He has already decided on the general direction of the company's development. If this cannot be developed, it will prove that his brothers are not the business community. It would be better to go back and continue their small business and be a millionaire. There is no need to start a company and mess around.
...
Knowing that Tencent and Alibaba might have already set their sights on taxi-hailing software at this time, Liu Xiahui naturally had to take action first. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, almost after the Spring Festival, he sent someone to discuss the B round of financing with Didi.
At this time, Didi, after receiving US$3 million in Series A financing from Jinshajiang Venture Capital at the end of last year, launched its northbound strategy. It is currently catching land in the imperial capital, and has a trend of unifying the imperial capital market.
At this time, Mr. Didi Cheng was happy and hesitant when he received news that he wanted to invest in them on WeChat.
Because according to the current market trend, if Didi wants to start a business in the domestic Internet industry, it will sooner or later face the three Internet giants, Tencent, Alibaba and Qiandu.
After all, as long as it is in the Internet industry, these three big shots cannot be avoided.
At the beginning, Mr. Cheng thought about choosing one of the three giants as the financial backers. As for which one to choose to join, he has no idea for the time being, so he plans to observe for a while before talking about it.
But who would have thought that the three giants hadn’t contacted him yet, but WeChat took action first.
Is it better to choose WeChat as the funder behind it, or to choose the three Internet giants as funder?
Mr. Cheng, who was hesitant, planned to delay the time a little, and it would be best to wait until the imperial capital strategy is successfully completed, and then make a decision based on the actual situation.
Liu Xiahui naturally didn't know what Mr. Cheng was thinking, and he was too lazy to guess. After knowing that the other party was hesitant, he decisively conveyed a sentence to the other side: If you want to raise funds, just be more flexible and don't delay. Anyway, there are more than Didi's taxi software. If you don't need financing, then I'll find fast or other taxi software, and I believe they need it.
After this was conveyed, Mr. Cheng could not sit still. He immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss the round B financing.
There is no way, as WeChat said, taxi-hailing software is everywhere now. Although Didi has made its mark among many taxi-hailing software, it has no obvious advantage over other competitors.
It is very important to seize the initiative in this kind of life-and-death competition. With the addition of WeChat, a big funder, Didi can take the lead, accelerate the speed of land grabbing, and seize the ownerless market first.
At this time, if Didi refuses to raise funds and then gives WeChat, the big funder, to its competitors, isn't this a fool's behavior?
Yes, Mr. Cheng had long judged that the three giants on the Internet will definitely end in the end, but who knows when the three giants will end?
Therefore, Mr. Cheng had no choice at all. He either grew stronger by himself or made his competitors grow stronger. Is this answer worth mentioning?
So, the next step was simple. It took only half a month for the two sides to negotiate everything.
In this round of B financing, WeChat invested 100 million yuan and acquired 30% of Didi's shares.
...
As soon as WeChat took action, I kept paying attention to its Q letter and Alipay, and I immediately knew it.
In the past two years, domestic taxi-hailing software has been sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, such as early as the early days of the taxi-hailing, taxi-hailing assistant, taxi-hailing secret, Wei-hailing, Yida taxi-hailing, and Didi Taxi and Kuaidi Taxi released later, etc.
Basically all taxi-hailing software have obtained the first investment at this point in time. This thing is like playing Texas. Even if the cards in your hand are bad, many people will still follow the 1-2 rounds before deciding whether to fold...
Anyway, everyone started the same at this time, and no one showed a trend of leading the industry in the early stages, so as long as your team looks OK, you can get money.
Nowadays, taxi-hailing software like Didi and Kuaidi have gradually emerged and attracted the attention of Internet giants like Tencent and Alibaba. That is normal.
But just when Tencent and Alibaba were still conducting investigations, WeChat unexpectedly took action and took the lead in investing in Didi.
Now, Tencent and Alibaba were a little unable to sit still. Alibaba quickly and quickly contacted Huang Feng.
In just half a month, each reached a cooperation, quickly taking away 80 million yuan from Alibaba, and Huang Feng also took away 90 million yuan from Tencent.
At this time, there were as many as 30 or 40 taxi-hailing software in China, and the market was still very chaotic. However, as these three giants entered the market one after another, those taxi-hailing software that had not yet found a financial supporter to join could not sit still and went to seek financial supporter investment one by one. Otherwise, once the giants made efforts, they would definitely not be able to hold on.
Qiandu is one of the most ideal funders for many taxi-hailing software.
Therefore, the recent contacts of dozens of taxi-hailing software officers with Qiandu made Mr. Li very happy in Qiandu.
Originally, Mr. Li of Qiandu planned to get a taxi-hailing software by himself, and this plan has been put on the agenda, but time has come. The early entry of the three giants, WeChat, Tencent and Alibaba, gave Mr. Li a sense of urgency.
So it is obviously too late to develop software by yourself. It is better to acquire a taxi-hailing software with full capital to participate. This is a big cake in the Internet field. As an Internet giant, it must not be missed.
So, under this background, Qiandu acquired one of the well-known taxi software and changed its name to Qiandu Taxi.
At this point, the situation where thirty or forty taxi-hailing software was originally on par, with these four big shots entering the field, an instant formation of the top four dominated the game.
At present, among the top four, Didi has the best situation, basically unifying the huge market of the imperial capital.
The situation of Kuaidi is also good. Before Alibaba entered the market, Kuaidi made a big contribution to the strategy of surrounding the city in the countryside, and now it has entered the supermarket of Shanghai Stock Exchange and has made a good start.
As for Huang Feng, who entered the market faster than Didi, the founder of Huang Feng is better than the previous two. He was once the CFO of Tudou.com. Mr. Li led Tudou.com to successfully list on Nasdaq and merged with Youku. He is the most awesome person among the founders of many taxi-hailing software.
Therefore, although it started late, Huang Feng, who started in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, only appeared in more than a month, covered more than 20% of taxi drivers in Shanghai. The daily order volume exceeded 10,000, and the average order success rate was 85%. The development speed was indeed commendable.
Among the semi-finals, only Qiandu has acquired taxi software a little more than the same, but now with Qiandu, the big funder, there is no problem to stabilize the semi-finals.
Who can stand out in this cruel competition next depends on their respective abilities and the support of the financial backers.
...
In the villa.
Jiang Shiyun came to Tang Xiaomin with a bowl of steaming soup and said with a smile: "Xiaomin, this is the chicken soup I specially stewed for you. They are all stewed with old chicken brought from my hometown. It's so fragrant. You should drink it while it's hot!"
It’s no wonder that Jiang Shiyun is happy. Her daughter-in-law, who had been waiting for for several years, finally got pregnant again. Although she was mentally prepared last year, she was still very happy to see her daughter-in-law getting pregnant.
"Thank you for your hard work, mom, you put it on the table first, I'll drink it later!" Tang Xiaomin replied while playing the snake game with her mobile phone.
Jiang Shiyun put the soup down and reminded her worriedly: "Then you have to remember to drink it, don't forget it while playing!"
Tang Xiaomin nodded and said, "I know, mom, I'll drink this after playing!"
Jiang Shiyun couldn't help but reminded again: "Xiao Min, I heard that mobile phones have radiation. You are pregnant with a child, try to play with your phone as little as possible!"
Tang Xiaomin exited the game after hearing this and said, "Xiaohui said it doesn't matter if you play occasionally, but my mother is right, so I won't play anymore!"
Jiang Shiyun thought about it, but was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be bored, so she said, "Well, isn't your sister pregnant too? She might as well call her back from her in-laws' house and call her cousin Zifeng. Let's play mahjong together. What do you think?"
Tang Xiaomin nodded quickly and said, "Of course it's good. It's so annoying to stay at home every day when you're pregnant. Mahjong is just the right time to pass this boring time!"
Jiang Shiyun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call them immediately. In the next few months, we will ignore everything. We will play mahjong every day for a walk, and then do some exercise appropriately, so that we won't be bored!"
Chapter completed!
