301: Section 301

Given Double Ma's determination, Hello Company indeed couldn't risk Penguin Bike going all out, as losing that gamble would lead to the entire Hello Company going bankrupt.

Accepting an investment was the only condition both parties could agree on.

Double Ma also couldn't help but take a deep breath and say, "I understand."

"I will stand on the same front as you.

If Hello refuses the investment, Ali Bike will act together with Penguin Bike."

After Double Ma finished speaking, Double Ma also nodded.

Then, after the two discussed some details again, they finally hung up the phone.

The reason Double Ma had to contact Double Ma to act together was also quite necessary.

Because if it was just Double Ma alone, the deterrent would still be insufficient, and Hello would very likely refuse.

And if Hello refused the investment and Double Ma forcibly entered the market to compete, then he would not only face Hello but also Double Ma.

Moreover, the remaining Double Ma would very likely reap the benefits.

And Double Ma also knew this, which is why they contacted each other after Hello launched the deposit-free riding.

Hello Bike, which now holds 90% of the market share, is worth them joining forces to deal with.

And just as Hello Company agreed to their offline discussion request, news gradually began to spread that Hello Bike was preparing to accept Double Ma's investment.

Originally, this information was only circulating on a small scale.

But a piece of internet news two days later directly attracted the attention of many people.

Major internet companies that participated in the shared bike competition simultaneously announced that they would hold a discussion conference on the future of shared bikes three days later.

At that time, Hello Company and Penguin Bike, Ali Bike, as well as some other internet companies, would all participate.

As soon as this information came out, it seemed to directly confirm the rumors from a few days ago.

A hot search instantly rushed to the top of the weibo hot search list.

"Is Hello preparing to accept Double Ma's investment?!"

Chapter 225: External Analysis, Hello Company with No Choice?

As soon as this hot search appeared, it quickly attracted the attention of many people.

After all, in today's Yan Country internet market, the competition in the shared bike field is the most eye-catching.

Originally, Ali Bike and Penguin Bike were both developing rapidly, but the deposit-free riding launched by Hello Bike directly halted the progress of Ali Bike and Penguin Bike.

Many people were originally looking forward to seeing what kind of response Penguin Bike and Ali Bike would make.

But no one expected that Ali Bike and Penguin Bike were actually preparing to give up resistance and wanted to directly invest in Hello Company and take a stake.

However, the term "giving up resistance" is not too accurate, because this situation is actually something Double Ma is quite happy to see.

The current shared bike market in Yan Country has just begun to expand, and the number of registered users has not yet exceeded 100 million, so there is still huge potential.

Almost all internet companies and practitioners, and even other internet users, can see that the value of the shared bike field will continue to skyrocket in the coming time.

And Hello Company, which occupies 90% of the market share in the shared bike field, will undoubtedly be the fastest-growing company in Yan Country in terms of market value in the coming period.

Hello Company's stock price in the future will probably continue to rise, but these are non-tradable shares, and external retail investors will not be able to take advantage of the opportunity to get a share.

In such a huge potential that can almost be seen with the naked eye, many internet companies want to break into the shared bike field and get a share, but they are somewhat powerless.

Penguin Bike and Ali Bike investing in Hello Bike seemingly provides Hello with a new batch of funds.

But in reality, everyone knows that it won't be long before the investment made by Penguin Bike and Ali Bike will increase exponentially, and these terrifying profits should have been exclusively enjoyed by Hello Company.

But for some reason, Hello Company had to give up a portion of its profits in exchange for continued development.

So after this hot search appeared, countless comments quickly appeared.

"Goodness, why does this scene feel so familiar? They fight and fight, and then they end up together."

"This scene is indeed familiar.

Before Junzi Group appeared, many internet trend competitions in Yan Country ended up like this.

Whether Penguin Bike and Ali Bike participated at the beginning or won in the competition, they would ultimately not lose and even make a big profit."

"Is this what top internet companies are like? You can't beat them, but they still have a way to get a share in this field."

"But why would this Hello agree to their investment? This makes no sense at all!

Logically, Hello Company's market value will definitely skyrocket later, and Hello is not short of funds now, so why let Double Ma invest?"

"Upstairs, you don't understand this.

Double Ma must be secretly preparing to cause trouble.

If Hello doesn't agree, then Hello won't survive.

It's an old trick, Penguin Bike has used it countless times."

"If I were Hello Company, I would just go head-to-head with Penguin Bike.

At worst, both sides would suffer."

Regardless of how the outside world views this internet conference targeting the shared bike field, this conference has undoubtedly become the focus of external attention in a short period of time.

The subsequent operations of Penguin Bike and Ali Bike, and whether Hello Bike can firmly establish itself, basically all depend on this conference.

Originally, many other shared bike users were still looking forward to Double Ma throwing money into the market, allowing them to ride for free for a period of time.

But now it seems that it will be very difficult to do so.

Not long after, other internet practitioners also popularized the dilemma Hello Bike was facing at this time.

After reading the popular science, many other users also understood that Hello Bike this time would probably really have to accept Double Ma's investment, because they truly had no second choice.

For a small internet company like them, if they chose to confront them head-on, then there would only be one path left: destruction and bankruptcy.

So they had to give up a portion of their profits in exchange for continued development.

And others were also aware of Double Ma's methods.

At first, it might only be a small shareholding, but as time went on, Double Ma would use all sorts of methods to completely acquire the shares of this enterprise.

After all, once Penguin Bike became a shareholder of a company, the difficulty for him to take away the shares from other shareholders was too small.

By the time others reacted, Penguin Bike had probably already become the largest shareholder by acquiring shares from other major shareholders, gaining the most say.

Such a scene had appeared several times in the Yan Country internet before.

Now, Hello seems to be following in their footsteps.

But no matter what, all external attention at this time was indeed drawn to the upcoming Hello Bike seminar.

Time also continued to flow forward under the attention of countless people.

Soon, the time came to the day before this small internet conference.

At this time, in the top floor office of the Junzi Group Building in Magic City.

"Boss, all the documents from Hello have been prepared, and Meituan has also developed a backend that can accommodate Hello Bike riding."

"On the WeChat side, the mini-program related to Hello Bike riding has also been developed and can be launched at any time."

"In Douyin, the same mini-program has also been prepared."

At this time, a figure was holding a stack of documents in his hand, reporting something to Wang Mo.

If there were other people from outside here, they would definitely recognize at a glance that the person speaking to Wang Mo at this time was Shen Tian, who had frequently appeared in major media outlets these past two days and was hailed as the one who discovered the shared bike trend.

He is also the current visible founder of Hello Company.
