300: Section 300

“Didn’t Hello Company reject our acquisition offers before?”

“Why would Hello Bike agree to our re-investment now…?”

Before he could finish, Old Ma realized something.

After swallowing, he answered his own question.

“Because.”

“If Hello Bike doesn’t agree, we’ll forcefully inject money into the market and directly exhaust them to death!”

“No matter where Hello Bike’s funds come from, after so much investment, there can’t be much left.”

“Even if there is, it definitely can’t compare to us. If we forcefully inject money to seize the market, Hello Bike will be completely unable to resist.”

After Old Ma finished speaking, Little Ma nodded with a smile.

“This is why I told you about the other plan first.”

“We can forcefully inject money and fight Hello, and Hello definitely won’t be able to hold on.”

“We don’t want to waste money, and Hello certainly doesn’t want to be fought by us like this, to be forced out of the market by money.”

“So, accepting our investment is already the best option.”

“This time it’s not an acquisition. I believe Hello Bike will definitely make the right choice.”

Listening to Little Ma’s words, Old Ma couldn’t help but click his tongue.

“You must have invested in many companies this way before.”

“These companies naturally know that if they hold on, you will also suffer significant losses, but they have no choice but to hold on.”

“However.”

Old Ma was still a little worried.

“How do you know that the owner of this Hello Company is not as spirited as your previous opponents?”

“What if he would rather be forced to delist by money, rather suffer a mutual loss, than surrender?”

Hearing this, Little Ma immediately laughed. He looked at Ma Liuyun, who had just hung up the phone, and Ma Liuyun nodded at him.

Seeing this.

Little Ma continued.

“While I was on the phone with you just now.”

“Someone on my end has already contacted the owner of Hello Company.”

“After we explained the pros and cons.”

“The other party has already agreed to our request for an offline meeting.”

Chapter 224: Shared Bicycle Seminar to Open, Penguin’s Determination!

Hearing Little Ma’s words, Old Ma on the other end of the phone was stunned.

Then he murmured.

“That should be about right.”

“Before, when we contacted Hello Company and made an acquisition proposal, the other party rejected it directly after only a few words.”

“This time.”

“Since the other party can agree to our offline meeting request, they should have already given it some thought.”

“I just didn’t expect them to agree so quickly.”

After pondering for a moment, Old Ma also breathed a sigh of relief.

The attitude of Hello Company’s owner now is very telling.

Before, the other party didn’t even want to talk much on the phone, but now they have agreed to an offline meeting. This change in attitude is quite indicative.

And Little Ma continued.

“Actually, I didn’t expect their attitude to change so quickly either.”

“When you just called, I had only just asked someone to contact Hello Company.”

“Originally, I also thought.”

“They should at least consider it for a while before accepting our proposal.”

“But I didn’t expect that after Shen Tian understood the stakes of this matter, he agreed to our meeting request so quickly.”

Shen Tian is currently the external founder of Hello Company.

Regarding this suddenly appearing internet company founder, the outside world only considers him a relatively talented young man and does not know that he is connected to any group behind the scenes.

After listening to Little Ma’s narration, Old Ma also couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

“It seems.”

“This Shen Tian must have already guessed what our response would be. He guessed that we might very well go for a lose-lose situation to force him, which is why he made this choice.”

Little Ma also took a deep breath.

“Whether he guessed anything or not.”

“His current attitude indeed shows a great possibility for discussion.”

“I believe.”

“A sensible internet company founder knows how to choose.”

“After all, if he doesn’t accept our investment, then Hello Company will definitely not have the possibility of continuing to survive. He has no second choice.”

After Little Ma finished speaking.

Old Ma on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent for a moment.

After a long while.

He slowly spoke.

“Actually, I want to ask.”

“If Hello Company, if this Shen Tian, really rejects our investment, would you really be prepared to go for a lose-lose situation, willing to incur losses to forcefully take down Hello Bike?”

Old Ma’s thoughts were not without reason.

Because this is actually a very classic business game, where neither side knows how far the other will go.

If Penguin Group does not have enough deterrent power, and the other party does not believe Penguin will go to the very end, then their negotiations will be very difficult to complete.

However, if Penguin’s deterrent power is high enough, then the other party can indeed only choose on a tightrope.

This deterrent power, at this moment, is Penguin’s determination to go for a lose-lose situation.

Listening to Old Ma’s question.

Little Ma was silent for a moment.

“If it were a few years ago.”

“There’s no way I would have made such a decision.”

“Because at that time, Penguin was a top leader in several internet fields, and all internet trends were seized by Penguin, allowing it to soar.”

“In such a situation, Penguin did not need to take such risks to open up new trends, as the foundation of the Penguin empire was unshakeable.”

“But now.”

Little Ma paused, his words gradually becoming colder.

“But now.”

“Among the internet companies in Yan Country, Penguin is no longer the most-watched enterprise.”

“For an internet company, attention is also a very important factor, directly affecting how the outside world views us. Penguin has missed several internet trends, and I must do something for the shareholders to see.”

“Penguin Group no longer has such a stable foundation.”

“Currently, Penguin has missed the hottest internet trends in Yan Country.”

“This time, even if it means incurring losses, I must forcefully enter the shared bike sector. It’s rare to have a trend that Wang Mo hasn’t grasped, and I absolutely cannot give up.”

Little Ma took a deep breath, his tone becoming much firmer.

“So this time, if Hello Company dares to refuse, I will truly go for a lose-lose situation.”

Listening to Little Ma’s voice on the phone, Old Ma couldn’t help but gasp.

After so many failures.

The current Penguin Group seemed to have returned to its beginning, when Little Ma first established it, possessing incredibly strong willpower.

And.

Quite terrifying commercial negotiation deterrence.
