Chapter 257 When the acquisition is in progress

At noon, Li Feng and the others also drank some wine. The Chinese people always felt a little uncomfortable if they didn't drink some wine at the dinner table. Although Zhang Xiaolong didn't drink much, he also used it and the whole dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere.

After drinking and eating, Li Feng and the others also took Ren Yu's car to Shenzhen together. Anyway, it was only a matter of hours to go from Guangzhou to Shenzhen.

It is also a brand new Mercedes-Benz. In addition to being busy with the acquisition, Li Feng also increased Fengrui's office expenses. All the vice presidents are equipped with special cars and drivers, all of which are Da Benz.

Before leaving, Li Feng gave Zhang Xiaolong a warm hug again. This time, Zhang Xiaolong did not refuse much, and even whispered to Li Feng, "Thank you!"

Li Feng was surprised, then patted Zhang Xiaolong on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Do it well!"

On the way to Shenzhen, Li Feng and Liu Zhiping sat in the back seats, Ren Yu was in the co-pilot, with a special driver opening the door, while Zhao Qiming stayed and handled the follow-up affairs with Zhang Xiaolong.

As soon as he got on the car, Liu Zhiping couldn't help but feel curious and asked Li Feng with the help of alcohol: "Boss, you are so optimistic about Zhang Xiaolong, I don't see what's so powerful about him!"

Ren Yu, in the front row, also leaned back curiously. He said that Li Feng had nothing to say about talents, but why Li Feng attached so much importance to Zhang Xiaolong, including Ren Yu, also wanted to know.

Li Feng was not in a state of drinking today, and after drinking two bottles of beer at noon, he got a little bit over. He blushed and said to Liu Zhiping: "I'm not optimistic, I believe! I believe that such a person with ideals and feelings is willing to work hard and endure hardships, interfere with loneliness, so focused and simple, there is no reason for such a person to fail.

Even if he is not successful, I am willing to give him this opportunity. Starting a business does not mean pursuing scale, profit, and sentiment is a good thing. We cannot lose our initial vision of starting a business!"

After saying that, Li Feng raised his head back and entered a state of "closing his eyes and resting", but Liu Zhiping and Ren Yu were left behind and the others fell into thinking.

Life is not the first meeting, and you will be calm when you wash away all the bad luck;

He has a lofty ambitions at a young age and is a hero in his ordinary life.

A good beginning in life is important, but it is not the whole of life. Beautiful faces, luxurious clothing, glory, wealth and even the ambitions of youth, all of these are just things that will bring the past. We will eventually realize that an ordinary and comforting life is the final "seeking nothing else".

How can people not like Zhang Xiaolong, a low-key and introverted person?

This is also the reason why Li Feng wanted to cool off Zhou Hongyi, because Zhou Hongyi is too personal and has a bit of a twitch.

Just as Li Feng stepped into Shenzhen, Fengrui's acquisition continued. Fortunately, there were no problems with the other two except Hua Jun and Zhang Xiaolong.

On November 20, Fengrui first acquired Window of World for US$1 million, and then directly incorporated Window of World into Wang Xiaochuan's technical engineering department, responsible for the development of Fengrui multi-core browser.

Immediately the next day, Fengrui officially promoted it to the public, acquiring the newly established mobile UC browser for US$2 million and directly merged it into Xu Jiawei's wireless business division.

Although Xu Jiawei is in charge of the wireless business division, to be honest, there is nothing in the current wireless business division. Apart from value-added services, many of them are only responsible for maintaining their relationship with telecom operators.

The dream of UC’s founder He Xiaopeng is “black and white”. He always firmly sets his goal, “If you don’t work, you must start a business”, and goes all the way to the dark, but when facing the dilemma of “a skillful woman cannot cook without rice”,

When he experienced the experience of moving home six times a year, when he was asking venture capital to negotiate the future of the "child" again and again, when Fengrui took cash to acquire UC, He Xiaopeng finally agreed to Fengrui's acquisition and joined Fengrui with UC.

Although He Xiaopeng finally chose to give up, his entrepreneurial mind was still not settled down and he was waiting for new opportunities.

Does He Xiaopeng plan to enter the Internet electric vehicles in the future and establish "Xiaopeng Motors". Li Feng has no control over it and may not be sure to support it. For innovation, Li Feng always has an active supportive attitude, even if it is wrong.

But Li Feng always believes that before battery technology is solved, all Internet companies are nonsense in making cars, including Tester!

The market value of GM is only 50 billion US dollars, so why can Tester's market value exceed 50 billion US dollars? It's just because when Tester went public, the prospectus said it was not a car company, and it was a new energy company!

Even a super company like Apple with cash reserves of more than 200 billion US dollars dares to enter the automotive field. A company that does not even invest more than 10 billion yuan in capital, such as NIO, Xiaopeng, and WM Motor, how can it become bigger!

What Li Feng even more incomprehensible is that Internet cars can be manufactured, but do you really think that cars are mobile phones?

Whether it is new energy vehicles or traditional cars, you must first be a car, a safe car. The cumbersome standard of the automobile industry is something you can solve, as an Internet company.

Internet companies are probably building cars like shared bicycles, all for the purpose of putting on the screen, that is, traffic and user data, and for the purpose of making money on the market, and in the end, there are only 3 companies that can survive.

However, Li Feng still has a certain idea of ​​the latest energy vehicles, that is, always to be the core of the most technical technology, always to be the operating system, chip,

Whether it is the mobile Internet or the Internet of Things, the most core and basic ones are always the operating system and chip! I dare not be a mobile system or artificial intelligence; I don’t care about what kind of mobile chip this chip is or AI chip, but it is all systems and chips after all.

When returning to UC's acquisition, Li Feng's first thing after acquiring UC browser was to change the logo for UC browser, a cute little squirrel!

Since there are UCs, will Gaode still be far away?

The reason why Alibaba was able to make efforts on the mobile terminal later was because Gaode and uc were the key factors in the mobile Internet entrances?

A UC is the mobile browser entrance, no wonder UC is full of videos and recommendations from Huateng.

A Gaode is the map entrance, especially the Gaode map, which also involves an important map entrance on the mobile Internet, and the map entrance is particularly important in the mobile era.

If in the PC era, there is only one scene entrance, which is a computer, either an Internet cafe, or a company; but the mobile era has become fragmented and scene-based. Different times and different places are a scene, local life, O2O, social, tourism, new retail, various different scenarios,

For example, it is a scene to do the subway work at 7 a.m. At this time, you need to know new information and give you today's headlines; order takeout for lunch and give you Meituan takeout; you want to make an appointment with a cannon in the evening, give you Momo...

But in short, there is a key thing in these, that is location! Even the location service is required on WeChat, so the Gaode map is particularly important.

But when acquiring Gaode Map, Fengrui also encountered some trouble, that is, Gaode did not agree to be acquired by Fengrui and refused directly.

Mainly, Gao Degang, Aixin AW, Fuji Ten and other companies jointly established a navigation company, specializing in car navigation for cars. The business is pretty good. They have already obtained orders from Mercedes-Benz and Honda, and their lives are pretty good.

At this time, Li Feng is not polite. Hua Jun is an old senior and Zhang Xiaolong is the future. Both of them are good men. Li Feng can move them with affection and wait patiently.

Li Feng didn't have the patience to go to Gaode Map and directly took out the "carrot and stick" negotiation rules that he had always used. He first acquired Gaode's upstream basic map service provider, Yanjing Tumeng Technology Co., Ltd., for 10 million yuan.

Then he took 10 million US dollars and went to the door to show off with Gaode, "Mr. Gaode, this is 10 million US dollars. If you agree to the acquisition, this 10 million US dollars will be yours;

If you don’t agree, then I’m not going to take away the 10 million US dollars. I will invest directly to your opponent, Siwei Tuxin, and your opponent, Kailide, in-car navigation, and then fuck you to death! You consider it!"

In the end, Gao De could only helplessly and said in a silence, "Dad Fengrui, then please hurry up, I'm afraid of pain!"

In the end, Gaode surrendered and Fengrui's tyranny, and was successfully acquired by Fengrui for 10 million US dollars.

After Fengrui successfully acquired Gaode, it did not incorporate it into Fengrui, and retained its qualification to operate independently. The main reason is that the map involves too many things, such as surveying, data collection, vector rendering, navigation, field collection, etc.

For Li Feng, the merger of Fengrui is a light asset company, a company with close relationship with Fengrui's business. For companies like Gaode with little business relationship, Li Feng directly maintained his qualification to operate independently and became a subsidiary of Fengrui.

After acquiring Gaode, it was his own company. Li Feng had two attitudes towards his own company. Not only did he continue to add 10 million US dollars to Gaode, he also incorporated the newly acquired Yanjing Tumeng Technology Co., Ltd. into Gaode.

In addition, Fengrui also supports Gaode to acquire Xiamen Navite Technology Co., Ltd., which specializes in navigation software development for the same 10 million yuan. In this way, Gaode has become a "double-have" enterprise in China that owns navigation electronic map data and navigation software.

Gaode's opinion on Fengrui's strong acquisition has disappeared. Go to find such a good "dad"!

And Fengrui’s acquisition is far from over!

Because Li Feng fell in love with a video player that was just founded, Storm Video.

The development of the Internet is always traceable, from text, pictures, and then to videos, and from low definition, high definition, and then to 1080P, this is the rule!

Although the current Internet speed is not conducive to the promotion of video websites, for Fengrui, who is about to enter the video website, video is also an important part of the ecosystem, so it is imperative to acquire Storm Video.

Li Feng directly acquired Storm Video from Zhou Shengjun for US$2 million, but Li Feng also knew that Storm Video could become bigger later, not because of Zhou Shengjun, but because of Feng Xin!

It’s just about videos, Feng Xin (Storm Video) and Wang Xin (Quick Broadcast) all bring "xin". What a coincidence! It’s like "Erma"!

Feng Xin is a particularly awesome product manager. He worked with Lei Jun at Kingsoft and Zhou Hongyi at Yahoo. Later, after he came out to work alone, he drew a huge blueprint for Internet tools. Due to the financial reasons, he only made a player, namely Storm Video.

Compared with other players, Storm Video has only one advantage, that is, its super decoding function, no matter what format the video can be played, it can be played here on Storm Video. Around 2010, when copyright awareness was weak, this was a sharp kitchen knife, which solved the pain points of all users.

This is the famous "kitchen knife mode" in the Internet industry. Storm Video only needs to polish the player's kitchen knife sharply so that users can cut various dishes.

The "dish" here is video, and there are two sources. One is that the video downloaded by users on various websites can be used without the Internet on the computer; the other is that Storm Video connects videos from other video websites in the player interface and acts as an entrance role.

It can be said that Storm Video has killed all over the world with this kitchen knife, and has almost become a memory of the post-80s and 90s, and has become one of the essential software for every computer installation.

With this kitchen knife, after Storm Group went public, its market value soared to 36.9 billion yuan. But when it came to the mobile Internet, the video website was caught in a copyright dispute.

In addition, there are three giants BAT behind iQiyi, Youku Tudou, and Tencent Video. The word "copyright" completely cut off the backbone of Storm Video. Storm Video and Feng Xin did not keep up with the development of the times and could only accept the fate of being eliminated.

However, for Li Feng, it is much simpler. The film and television copyrights have their own affairs, and he also has the "Feng Film Group" that specializes in content production. What's more important is that he is the largest giant in China's Internet.

However, for the development of Storm Video, Li Feng first acquired Storm Video from Zhou Shengjun for US$2 million.

Then Li Feng found Feng Xin again, and Feng Xin had just founded Kure Technology Company, and Li Feng also spent 1 million US dollars to acquire Feng Xin's Kure Technology.

At this time, Kure Technology was just a turtle team, but Li Feng still gave a purchase price of 1 million US dollars. In Li Feng's words, Feng Xin alone is worth 1 million US dollars.

After all the acquisitions were completed, Li Feng handed over Storm Video to Feng Xin for management.

Feng Xin originally wanted to refuse, but Fengrui's conditions were too good and he had complete self-sufficiency. The key was that Fengrui was too strong, and he could not refuse money and resources.

So, Feng Xin happily joined Fengrui, specifically responsible for the video.
