Chapter 693

The negotiators of Tencent and Baidu fell silent.

"Dong Wang, I admit that Huizhong is very powerful at home and abroad, but it's a bit exaggerated to say that no one can pick up fast dishes except Huizhong. I believe that both Uber and other Internet giants in Europe and America will be interested in fast!"

Tencent's representative countered with some guilt.

Wang Wei sneered: "hehe, you're right, but we don't talk secretly. I believe you should have contacted Uber and other foreign Internet giants before you seek to merge with Kuai'an. The quotations and conditions they give will only be lower and more demanding than our Huizhong!"

Wang Wei's words defeated the last fantasy in the hearts of Tencent and Baidu representatives. As competitors, Huizhong and Kuai'an, how can they not pay attention to every move of Tencent, Baidu and Kuai'an!

Representatives of Tencent and Baidu tried to use various scripts and methods to make Wang Wei and Huizhong lower their conditions again, but it has been seen that Wang Wei, who is guilty, is like a wall, holding the mentality of eating and fixing the two people and Tencent Baidu behind them.

More than an hour later, representatives of Tencent and Baidu reluctantly answered the phone from the conference room and came in. They have reported the latest negotiation to Tencent Ma and Baidu Li. The two bosses also gave them the latest instructions.

"Dong Wang, you won!" representatives of Tencent and Baidu smiled bitterly, stretched out their hands and shook hands with Wang Wei.

In the afternoon, Wang Wei, on behalf of Huizhong and representatives of Tencent and Baidu, signed a cooperation agreement. One of the most important items concerned by both parties is:

"If kuaidi can obtain a market valuation of no less than US $5 billion in the merger of kuaidi'an and kuaidi, and the shareholders of kuaidi after the merger account for no less than 15% of the equity in the new company, Tencent and Baidu agree to completely cut the related businesses with kuaidi after the merger."

After the two sides signed this cooperation agreement, the biggest difficulty hindering the merger process of Kuala Lumpur and Kuala Lumpur has been completely solved, and the merger process of Kuala Lumpur and Kuala Lumpur has also entered an accelerated stage.

The merger of kuaan and Kuai is advancing in an orderly manner. As far as Davos, Switzerland, a beautiful ice and snow town, Fang zhe also made an amazing prediction on the global economy, especially the Internet economy, with a cautious attitude. Winter is coming!

Davos forum is one of the most famous global economic forums in the world. Most of its participants come from the heads of the world's top international enterprises, high-level heads of national or regional governments, heads of relevant international economic institutions, etc.

It can be said that any speech or discussion on the economy here will affect and change the global economy. Therefore, Fang zhe chose to send the signal that the winter of the global Internet economy is coming here!

"According to the research prediction of us and many market research institutions around the world, this year, the growth rate of global smartphone shipments will fall below 10% for the first time. This is the slowest year of global smartphone shipments since the rise of smartphones and the global popularity of mobile Internet. It is also the fastest year of global smartphone shipments in the next 3-5 years, or even 5-10 years."

At the beginning of his speech, Fang zhe quoted a group of the latest survey reports. Ignoring the whispering of the audience, Fang zhe continued:

"In other words, the global smartphone shipment is about to reach the peak, and the global smartphone market is about to usher in the balance point between new growth and decline. After that, the global smartphone shipment will gradually decline until 5g or other new growth drivers are ushered in.

In the next 3-5 years, the growth of global smartphone users will reach the ceiling, and the global smartphone market will gradually saturate. This saturation will gradually spread from developed countries to sub developed and developing countries.

For the mobile Internet, which mainly relies on smart phones, the saturation of the global smart phone market means that the demographic dividend of the mobile Internet is about to be exhausted and the winter of the global Internet industry is coming! "

"Winter is coming!" Fang zhe summed up the theme of his speech with the most popular sentence.

Under the stage, CEOs, senior government officials and heads of international institutions from all over the world expressed surprise or shock. They did not expect that the young world's richest man should say such amazing words.

The global economic crisis triggered by the 2008 financial crisis

Let many people on the scene remember that if a similar global economic crisis occurs again, its impact on the world will be huge and far-reaching.

Fortunately, there are many leaders in the field of on-site economy. Based on their judgment of the world economic pattern, they do not think that a large-scale global economic crisis like 2008 will occur. At most, as Fang zhe said, it is limited to the Internet or emerging science and technology.

Next, in his speech, Fang zhe also made a more detailed description and explanation of the crisis predicted by himself, dispelling the excessive concerns of many leaders present.

"After the advent of winter, the global mobile Internet industry will enter the stock game era. The more countries or regions with deep penetration of mobile Internet such as Europe, America and China, the more fierce the market competition will be.

Over the past few years, the emergence of mobile Internet and the emergence of O2O, VR, pan entertainment and sharing economy have made the global Internet industry's entrepreneurial behavior extremely hot. In the past few years, the world has seen many start-ups far ahead of the previous years, and the global capital market has also become irrational and created too many capital bubbles.

Many small and medium-sized start-ups, even unicorns and giant start-ups, have obtained abnormal huge financing without finding a clear business logic and profit model. There are also many companies that adopt the extreme business strategy of burning money for the market and carry out various extravagant and wasteful subsidies in order to obtain and please users.

Now, the market has entered the era of stock game. Those start-ups without core competitiveness and reasonable business model, those companies without sufficient capital reserves to survive the cold winter of capital, whether small and medium-sized, unicorn or even giant companies, will be gradually eliminated, become bankrupt, or be acquired and merged!

The global capital market will gradually return to rationality, various investment institutions and venture capital funds around the world will tighten their investment in start-ups, and the tide of capital will soon fade.

When the tide of capital fades, all start-ups swimming naked will not be able to go ashore!

Four years ago, there was a popular saying in China's Internet entrepreneurship circle:

"If bat, a few Internet giants at that time, wanted to imitate and copy your business model, what should you do?"

Now, from the beginning of this year, the situation will change. In the future, a question that many entrepreneurs will be asked by investors in both China and the global investment circle will be:

"If internet giants such as Huizhong, Alibaba, Google and Amazon don't invest in your enterprise, what should you do?"
