Capítulo 935: Chapter 581: Boss Bao Was Stunned
It’s clear that Cheng Zhu staying a few days in Shanghai was quite a wise decision.
What Cheng Zhu found most amusing was that his three cheeky roommates from dorm 309 actually all participated in the interview this time.
This made their four-person dorm group very lively.
Even though the three of them were all holed up in the dorm, they were all busy chatting with Cheng Zhu in the group chat via their phones.
The three adopted sons didn’t talk to each other, only typed in the group chat with each other.
Liu Feng stated, “Brother Zhu, we sure bragged about you to the reporters.”
“Do I need you guys to brag?” Cheng Zhu responded discontentedly.
“Yes, yes, we truthfully recounted all your glorious achievements,” Liu Feng was still as astute as ever.
The aloof and chubby Zheng Qingfeng spoke little as always, but would suddenly say something unexpectedly.
At the moment, he said in the group chat, “Brother Zhu, I report that Dong Dong is always seizing the opportunity to show off.”
“Damn! Zheng, I’m going to hit you!” Dong Dong typed in the group chat.
Cheng Zhu was puzzled; you’re in the same dorm, why not just hit directly?
Is it that before hitting, you have to report to the father first in the group?
After bantering with the three adopted sons in the group chat for a bit, Cheng Zhu wondered if the school leaders were also having a good laugh?
In the whole Hang City, surely no other college student can play as I do.
“From now on, my photo should be printed on the admission guide of Technology University!” Cheng Zhu thought to himself mockingly.
And the series of chain reactions triggered by Dianping’s financing had actually just begun at this moment.
At Baidu Takeout headquarters, the person in charge, Gong Zhenbin, immediately convened a high-level meeting.
Recently, he felt he was reaching the ultimate realm of ‘governing by doing nothing’!
During this time, Baidu Takeout has taken no major moves at all.
The reason is simple.
High EQ: Governing by doing nothing.
Low EQ: Dare not make any moves.
Gong Zhenbin didn’t understand, was he “being swayed by public opinion” recently?
“Wasn’t it said that Dianping was going to merge with Meituan?”
“This news was leaked from Zhang Tao’s side, wasn’t it.”
“The news directly scared the internal Baidu staff, so much so that they instantly lost their fighting spirit; a group of people clamored that it’d be better to engage in artificial intelligence!”
At that moment, Gong Zhenbin already had a feeling that the great momentum had passed.
As the person in charge of Baidu Takeout, he is well aware that as one of the BAT giants, Baidu is actually very complex internally.
When the voice for “better to engage in artificial intelligence” grew louder and louder, in fact, some effect had already been achieved.
Even if everyone later found out that Dianping and Meituan seemed unlikely to merge for now, internal opinions had already split.
Especially those who had originally wanted to focus heavily on artificial intelligence.
This made a voice emerge in Gong Zhenbin’s mind: “When did Zhang Tao become so dirty?”
Damn, only Wang Xin was this dirty before!
He didn’t know if Zhang Tao’s side was intentional or not; anyway, this move could cause tons of damage to Baidu, where factions were many.
However, the subsequent developments made Gong Zhenbin even more doubtful of life.
The news of Dianping and Meituan merging had just leaked from Zhang Tao’s side, and after only a few days, they suddenly started fighting, beginning to burn money like mad!
Initially, everyone considered this as “the final showdown”, thinking that it wouldn’t be long before Taozi and Wang would sit at the negotiation table.
This made the voice within Baidu about going all-in on artificial intelligence even more pronounced. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
The ultimate result was everyone’s eyes watching this “final showdown” dragging on for more than a whole month!
“Damn, Zhang Tao is even dirtier than I imagined!?” Gong Zhenbin was utterly shocked.
He felt like he was meeting this person for the first time.
Completely refreshing his established impression of Zhang Tao.
As for the passionate Brother Hao, he had already started his furious charge, his eyes blood-red from the fight.
Dianping, leading Eleme, fought Meituan; asking if Gong Zhenbin dared to act?
For Gong Zhenbin, this more than a month felt like years.
He watched helplessly as the market share slipped away day after day, yet remained powerless.
“This kind of life should be coming to an end, right?” A month later, Gong Zhenbin thought.
Hey, who would have thought, cash-strapped Dianping received financing again!
Damn it, seeing this momentum, they will keep burning!
This again refreshed his knowledge of Zhang Tao.
Both dirty and daring, what’s going on?
Baidu’s entry into the O2O field was originally intended to grasp both group buying and takeout.
Now, the market is a complete mess; the first and second big shots in both fields seem to be heading for a life-and-death showdown, and as the third brother, he is purely collateral damage.
Now, Baidu internally holds a stance of continuous observation.
To see if there is any chance to snatch the peach.
When the snipe and the clam fight, it’s the fisherman who wins.
Such phenomenon occurs from time to time in business warfare.
What Gong Zhenbin found most hopeful was the news that Meituan couldn’t secure the next round of financing, which was raging in recent days!
To Cheng Zhu, this scene felt familiar.
And Meituan’s approach was similar to the previous life, directly suing the person spreading the news.
Anyway, just tough it out, just sue tough!
Don’t ask, asking is saying funds can be raised!
Impoverished Wang started running around again, his already sparse hair becoming even sparser.
So much so that he went ahead and got himself a shaved head in a fit of rage, aligning himself with Boss Bao!
In this trillion-dollar O2O market, a young man still in college directly turned the tide, steering everything toward an unknown course.
