Chapter 1882 The autumn wind sweeps the leaves
"Yes, Brother Gu is so kind and great, we will never forget it!"
The people around were also complaining to Gu Yangxiao. Suddenly, overnight, the whole world had no money and no orders. Ordinary people might spend a few months at home to live a hard life, but for Boss Dong and others, they were facing a break in the capital chain, the bank owed huge debts, and no orders. Companies, factories, and villas might be taken away, and most of their lifelong hard work was about to be wasted.
Looking at the people around, Gu Yangxiao could only say with a tough bullet, "I will tell you to Mr. Chen for you, but Chu Ke's funds also need to be resolved by the board of directors before they can be used..."
Gu Yangguang said, actually, he also reminded Boss Dong and his group in advance, and also looked for other ways, and don’t rely on Chen Chu and Chu Ke.
Boss Dong and the others felt sad. If there were any other ways, they had been well-known figures over the years, so how could they do something like blocking the door?
Now they are desperate. Whether it is banks, consortiums, institutions, or even those who have posted money, they have found them, but who dares to lend them now is afraid that the money will be wasted. In just a few months, there are several small and medium-sized airlines and shipping companies in China who are playing tricks. Who can guarantee that Boss Dong and others will be able to withstand the next one?
Besides, what Boss Dong and the others owe bank money now. Once Boss Dong and the others are really finished, the first thing is the bank to collect debts and move the things, it will be the other creditors' turn. At that time, it is probably not a single piece of money left.
Looking at Gu Yangxiao and Wang Yan who were leaving in a hurry, the others asked Boss Dong, "Old Dong, do you think he will help us?"
"It depends on God's will!" Boss Dong also sighed in the direction of Dongshan Villa. Of course, he wanted to see Chen Chu now, but if no one recommended him, he would probably not be able to talk about even if he met him.
To put it bluntly, there are more companies in the world who are short of money now, and it is not the only one with his surname Dong. The same money is invested in those large companies, but the risks are much smaller.
After Gu Yangxiao left, he still called Chen Chu and said that he could not decide whether to help Boss Dong or others, or how to help them. This would be a real money to help them overcome the difficulties. This accidentally, the money thrown out would be lost.
When Chen Chu received a call from Gu Yangxiao, he didn't say much, neither said he wanted to help nor refused Boss Dong and the others. He just asked Yang Guangshan to go out and asked the group who were waiting outside to leave first, and said that Chu Ke Technology would have plans for the next step.
Boss Dong and others were naturally a little unwilling to accept such a reply, but they had no choice but to leave first. They were also afraid that they would really annoy Chen Chu, and that would be the end.
After Chen Chu returned to Yanjing, Chu Ke, which was originally a little quiet, seemed to become active in an instant, and all major industries of Chu Ke were also started to operate.
Onyx Technology continues to promote Onyx-2 smartphones in full swing, SG Games and its major game brands are also constantly releasing new games. Although the economy is in a downturn, the impact on the gaming industry is not big, and even sales and revenue have increased by a part.
As for industries such as Oriental Net, Dayu Games, Facebook, Tianya, etc., the stock prices were almost halved and plummeted, but the operations did not change much. Moreover, after Chen Chu returned to Yanjing, these listed industries under Chuke announced the implementation of equity repurchase plans!
In name, it is to protect investors, but in fact it is to repurchase equity at a low price, and several listed companies have all distributed quite considerable dividends.
This has made Chuke's listed industry barely maintain its stock price. At least in the investment industry, which is now a mess, it is considered a clear stream, and has even been rated as the most conscientious listed company this year by thousands of leeks around the world...
Even if the investors who vomit blood were listed by Facebook and Autohome can't say anything bad about Chu Ke. After all, at this critical moment, they can still use money to protect the stock price and protect the leeks. Just Chu Ke is just a single seedling. If you don't praise Chu Ke, who else can you praise Chu Ke? Even if you feel that Chu Ke is cutting leeks openly, you still have to praise Chu Ke.
In addition to stabilizing these investors, Chen Chu's second move to stabilize the morale of the army is to face Chuke's global employees, announcing that Chuke will not lay off employees until the end of next year, becoming the first company in the world to announce that it will never take the initiative to lay off employees within two years!
This is in sharp contrast to other companies that want to lay off employees. As soon as this announcement was released, the entire Chuke was naturally boiling, and the original tense atmosphere disappeared instantly.
It is necessary to throw away the goods. After the news from Chuke, no layoffs, bonuses, dividends, and subsidies were laid off, and even the salary of the newly established semiconductor chip department was increased. This made Chuke once again a benchmark in the global technology industry. Compared with Chuke, other companies that are constantly operating seem to have become "garbage".
Just this time, who is the best company in the technology industry does not need to rank at all and there is no advertising. However, major technologies around the world have ushered in a wave of resignations, and top talents have been poached by Chu Ke again.
As a last resort, Samsung, LG and other companies have also issued announcements that they will not take the initiative to lay off employees within two years. Of course, they will not stop them. They will not see so many big guys now, and they are all squatting at home now. This year is a great opportunity to poach talents.
After Chuko, Samsung, LG, Microsoft, Apple and others issued statements one after another, other small and medium-sized technology companies could only force themselves to follow up. If they didn't follow up, they would be hollowed out, and it would be difficult not to go bankrupt.
When Chuke's technology began to stabilize, Meituan and Cainiao logistics platforms began to take action one after another, and they all made big moves, showing the companies waiting to be hungry for feeding what it means to be rich and powerful.
After Meituan acquired Lashou.com and became the largest group buying platform in China, and invested in Groupon, it started to make moves again. It made a big move and directly took out $470 million in one go, investing in 24 group buying and takeaway platforms, which completely sensation the global investment and technology industry.
When I saw this scene, countless people felt that Meituan was drunk? At this time, I still dared to spend so much money, and then I became jealous.
Other companies are not happy and are about to close down, but Meituan buys all the way with money, invests in RetailMeNot, the largest coupon company in North America for 21 million US dollars, and gets 27% of the other party's equity. It holds a group buying platform for group buying clothing, toys and furniture for US dollars, and then takes over a number of group buying platforms such as ShopAtHome.
These companies, including Groupon, are one of the largest group buying platforms in the world. According to the valuation before the subprime mortgage crisis, they were at least hundreds of millions of dollars. However, they are now abandoned by venture capital institutions and are not willing to invest money on these platforms anymore.
Meituan directly picked up a bargain at a bargain price. It was really a bargain price. Now it seems that Meituan still needs to maintain these platforms for a while, but when the Internet market improves, as long as these are sent to the platform for listing, Meituan's investments will almost be doubled.
But the most important thing is that it invested in a number of platforms such as Croupon, allowing Meituan to truly establish a global group buying platform alliance. Once these platform resources are integrated, Meituan's platform will have world-class promotion resources. For example, if you promote a brand, Meituan can attract millions or even more than tens of millions of users around the world at one time. When you arrive in the same brand chain store, the effect will be almost at a burst level. With this level of promotion ability, which brand dares to offend Meituan?
In addition to group buying platforms, Meituan has made great efforts in the field of food delivery. First, it invested in Yelp, known as the overseas version of Dianping, and became the largest shareholder of Yelp. Although Meituan is not dealing with Dianping in China, it does not mean that Wang Yong does not know the potential of Dianping. This time Meituan went overseas, the first one to win was Yelp, the largest food review website overseas.
Then, with the momentum of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, it successively invested in the largest takeaway platform, including the largest takeaway platform of Niben, Woowa Bros, two major takeaway platforms in Britain, Just Eat, DelIveroo, and dozens of takeaway platforms in Western Europe, North America, Siam and other places, all of which were invested heavily by Meituan.
Hundreds of millions of American dollars were sprinkled out like water by Meituan, directly creating a global group buying and takeaway kingdom. Of course, it is still inconspicuous now, but as long as these platforms can develop in the future, Meituan will become the real "king of takeaway", and foodies around the world will be its subjects.
Meituan is constantly moving, and Cainiao Logistics platform is even more amazing. After investing in express delivery companies such as Yunda, Tiantian Express, Debang Logistics, Cainiao Logistics has strongly brought Tetong and SF Express to the chariot of Cainiao Logistics platform!
When Gu Yangxiao, the head of SF Express, as well as several major founders and executives of Santong and Yida jointly announced the formation of the Cainiao Logistics Alliance, the entire e-commerce industry was shocked.
The establishment of the Cainiao Logistics Alliance almost marks that the Cainiao Logistics platform occupies the dominant position of express delivery and logistics in China, even if it is only nominal, it is amazing enough.
After more news came out, the outside world learned why Tetong and SF Express suddenly changed their minds and were willing to join the pirate ship of the Cainiao Logistics Platform.
In order to win over Tetong and SF Express, Cainiao Logistics Platform of course paid a huge price. In addition to agreeing to Yunda's conditions, it also had to give Tetong and SF Express the same.
