When group buying websites were emerging, Lashou.com was the only group buying company that could face the strong steel of Meituan, but now it has reached the point of selling itself.

Lashou.com has been in such a dilemma, let alone other group buying platforms. The potential of the group buying market is visible to the naked eye of the outside world. It is growing at a rate of several times every year. It may not be available, but it is a problem.

This can also be said that the group buying industry is about to enter the era of giants, and those who can survive are supported by big investors. It depends on which platform the big investors are more willing to burn money.

Now looking at the entire group buying industry, whether it is Lashou.com, Dianping, Manzuo.com, Nuomi, etc., there are big investors behind it, but compared with Meituan’s wealthy investors, it is a bit too much to watch!

When Chen Chu went to Yanjing, the entire group buying industry changed completely overnight. During the battle of thousands of groups, the number of group buying platforms that closed overnight was countless, and countless people sold their own businesses. Seeing that this industry was a big player, there were only a few left, so it would be good to be able to sell their own businesses at this time.

However, unlike before, a group buying company that just started to be listed, it can get millions of venture capital, but now it has no way to sell itself. Several major group buying platforms such as Meituan have become very cautious when acquiring competitors and are unwilling to pay high prices at all.

Then the news came out that Meituan gave up 8% of Meituan's equity through equity exchange, and then acquired Lashou.com with a wholly owned purchase of Lashou.com for a price of 40 million US dollars, which gave Lashou management and investors a relatively decent exit method.

It is hard to say who lost this wave, but if Lashou.com doesn't sell it now, it will not be able to hold on. Although the 40 million yuan seems to be a little lower, it is not even as good as Lashou.com's previous financing of hundreds of millions of US dollars, but Meituan's 8% equity may have much value in the future.

After the acquisition was completed, Meituan directly obtained more than 400 city-based service sites in Lashou.com, as well as merchant resources on the entire platform.

If you look back, the only ones who can be called Meituan’s competitors will be Dianping, which has been supported by Google, Manzuo.com, which was invested by Suning, and Nuomi.com, which was invested by Baidu. However, Dianping is the real threat.

Wang Ying and Meituan, the next step is to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy more markets and not give other group buying platforms the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Finally, we will deal with competitors such as Dianping!

The entire group buying industry has basically entered a period of easing. Meituan hopes to digest the acquisition of Lashou.com and other large and small platform markets, Dianping, Manzuo.com, Nuomi, etc., also need to accumulate strength. If you compete with Meituan at this time, you have no chance of winning. Now, compared with Meituan, their strength is not at the same level.

Not only Lashou.com, Meituan then strongly invested in G Meat Pon, the founder of the group buying industry. She obtained nearly 10% of G Meat Pon's equity for 100 million US dollars. She is really picking up cabbage. You should know that no matter what G Meat Pon is like, before the subprime mortgage crisis, the market value was as high as 6 billion US dollars. Now the stock price has fallen by more than 80% in the past few months!

Meituan's investment in G meat pon is no different from finding a bargain, but it is not very strange, because global stock markets have all fallen into dogs, and almost all of them have been cut in half, and Chuke's listed industries are no exception. Oriental Net has a large market value after half of its decline, and now it only has less than 6 billion US dollars.

Facebook and Autohome are even more terrifying when they fall. Even if they only pull back 30%, it will be a market value of tens of billions of dollars. To a certain extent, the British media are not wrong. The sharp drop in stock prices did make Chen Chu and Chu Ke’s value plummet, but they can’t stand the many bullets prepared by Chu Ke’s headquarters, so there is no need to worry about bankruptcy!

G Meat Pon launched a group buying group purchase of Gaopeng. At the beginning, he was willing to compete with Meituan in China. As a result, now, let alone compete with Meituan in China, his nest is almost lost. The crazy expansion of G Meat Pon does not have much cash at all. If he doesn't take Meituan's money, it is a question whether he can survive.

Who would have thought that this situation would be like this? After Meituan invested in G meat pon, it was equivalent to opening up the overseas market. Wang Rong wanted to do it, but not only the king of group buying in China, but also wanted to push Meituan to the throne of the king of group buying in the world!

When Meituan was cleaning up the group buying market, Cainiao Logistics also stood up and started to ignite the fire. Now for all major industries in Chuke, all major industries are like tender cabbages, waiting for them to pick them.

Yunda, which was the first to spread the news, was weaker than Yunda, which was the first to be unable to withstand the temptation of the Cainiao platform. Gu Yangxiao represented Cainiao Logistics and reached an investment of US$79 million with Yunda and obtained 10% of Yunda's equity.

This is nothing. Later, at the press conference, Gu Yangxiao once again started the mouth-blowing mode, claiming that he would not rule out taking over Yunda's future rounds of financing until Yunda goes public!

What does this news mean? Cainiao Logistics wants to incorporate Yunda and add it to the "Cainiao Logistics System", and directly send it to Nasdaq as the first domestic logistics stock.

Yunda then directly announced that Yunda joined the Cainiao Logistics platform, and the future logistics, express delivery and delivery of Yunda Express can be queried through Cainiao Logistics.

The Cainiao Logistics Platform also announced that Cainiao’s airports, fleets, warehousing centers, cold chain bases, Cainiao Stations, Cainiao Express cabinets, etc. are all open to Yunda Express.

This news has caused huge waves in the logistics and express delivery industries. At this critical moment, major logistics platforms are short of money. Yunda suddenly gets funds. What it means is self-evident. After getting Chu Ke’s money, Yunda can continue to burn money and grab more market share.

After taking over Yunda, the logistics and express delivery industry naturally disappeared from the "blockdown" of Cainiao Logistics. Then Cainiao Logistics made great efforts to invest in Debang Logistics, Tiantian Express, Suer Express, Yousu Express, Zhai Express, etc., and spent more than 300 million US dollars in a short period of time.

The entire Cainiao Logistics platform nominally directly occupies more than 20% of the domestic express delivery industry market share, with more than 10,000 outlets available, 89 distribution centers, and more than 20,000 transport vehicles that can be mobilized.

Of course, this is data on paper. Yunda, Tiantian Express, Debang and others can only use these resources by following the arrangements of Cainiao Logistics Platform, but it does sound like a fool.

Although SF Express and Santong have not yet accepted the funds from Cainiao Logistics, the Cainiao Logistics Platform is already very popular and has already begun to appear, calling the Cainiao Logistics Platform a logistics kingdom.

When Chen Chu returned to Yanjing, it was the time when Meituan and Cainiao logistics platforms made a big noise. But unlike Chuke's investment in the past, which company it acquired would be called "industry paraquat". Instead, with Chuke's investment, more and more companies flocked to Chuke Machinery Technology Headquarters.

For those companies, Chu Ke invested money in group buying and express delivery industries, which actually means that Chu Ke is really rich. At this time, he can still spend so much cash, making the major companies that are looking forward to joining the "Chu Ke Group". Even if he sells himself, he is at least better than Liang.

After getting off the plane, it was still a familiar scene. Chen Chu had already been to and from this airport, and I don’t know how many times it has been.

The entire Yanjing Airport is still as busy as before, with countless passengers flowing, but there are some differences. At this moment, the billboards inside and outside the airport have basically become advertisements for Onyx's second-generation smartphones.

Near the airport parking lot, there is also a construction site surrounded, but Chen Chu is familiar with the sign hanging on it. The sign is the brand of the Idonis electric vehicle. It is being built, and it is the charging pile of the Idonis!

The so-called "soldiers are not ready, food and grass should be activated first. If you want to sell electric vehicles, you must at least build supporting facilities. The charging pile project of Idonis is a joint cooperation with Autohome and several other battery manufacturers including LG and BYD.

There is no need to worry about sales and after-sales channels, Yidonis electric vehicles. You Autohome has no worries about not being able to sell them. Two more production factories have been established in North America and Yanjing. Therefore, for Yidonis brand electric vehicles, the only thing that needs to be done is to develop the car!

The changes in the investment industry have caused some investment in electric vehicles to be cold, but compared to the Internet industry, it is still quite good, especially "Internet of Vehicles", charging piles, and on-board batteries, which are still popular. At least in a short period of time, there is no need to worry about investors running away.

After all, the emerging "trillion-US industrial chain" behind electric vehicles can still allow many investors to gain something. If it fails, it will be a shotgun.

Half a year after leaving Yanjing, Chen Chu found that Yanjing was still changing greatly. The buildings that were still under construction when he left last time have begun to be completed. Even now, new projects are still beginning to appear.

In addition to the Onyx-2 smartphones that cross the streets and the "Transformers" advertisements, Chen Chu also discovered some familiar scenes, one after another, with deliverymen wearing yellow vests and riding electric bikes walking through the streets and alleys. It is obvious that the takeaway market today is a bit better than last year.

Without going to Chuke Technology Headquarters, Chen Chu went back to Dongshan Villa directly. With the current scene at Chuke Technology Headquarters, even if Chen Chu went there, it would be useless.

Back in the familiar room, Chen Chu had just changed his clothes, and someone came to visit him. When he saw Chen Chu who was going downstairs, he had a great scenery these days. Wang Yan, who had come with his brother-in-law, hurriedly stood up and said to Chen Chu, "Brother Chen!"
