Rebirth Begins with 7 Million Chapter 409: Make the Best of Your Life

Before I knew it, a week had passed.

This week, Yunda Express has gradually gotten on the right track. Shareholders sent by Pinduoduo and Mr. Nie have coordinated the work of all aspects of Yunda Express. At the same time, more manpower has been assigned to upgrade Yunda Express.

With the coordination of Pinduoduo, the work efficiency of Yunda Express has been greatly improved in all aspects.

At the same time, things were going very hard for Baishi.

Without orders from Pinduoduo, Best Express was banned by Alibaba. At the same time, Xingyuan also deleted the entry of Best Express on Star Chat.

As a result, Best Express's business volume has dropped sharply, with only more than 20,000 orders received this week.

Mr. Zhou was so anxious that he couldn't wait to talk to Pinduoduo's senior management. However, Pinduoduo was trying to push the envelope and obviously did not want to communicate with Best Express.

In desperation, Mr. Zhou contacted Ali again. Mr. Zhou was so stubborn when he rejected Ali, but now he regrets it.

Ali didn't give him any face at all, and directly rejected his request to talk to the senior management.

Now Best Express was desperate, and the company's shareholders all panicked and began to ask Mr. Zhou about the situation.

To be honest, Mr. Zhou didn’t expect Pinduoduo to be so decisive. They spent so much money to buy Best’s shares and said they didn’t want them anymore. After acquiring Yunda, they directly placed all the orders with Yunda, and Best immediately became

Abandoned son.

Mr. Zhou actually understands that Pinduoduo’s move is nothing more than trying to put Baishi into a desperate situation. When the time comes, they will make an acquisition to get the last remaining shares, so as to achieve the same absolute control as Yunda.

If Best has enough money, Best can definitely confront Pinduoduo for a while.

But the problem is that BEST simply can't afford that much money.

Without the support of Pinduoduo’s express delivery business, BEST would have completely collapsed if it persisted for at most half a month.

Now there are only two paths before Mr. Zhou. The first is to seek support from other capital and fight against Pinduoduo.

The second was to compromise with Pinduoduo and sell Best to them.

Mr. Zhou didn’t want to give up just like that, but he contacted countless companies and none of them were willing to cooperate with Mr. Zhou.

Because Pinduoduo is more than just a shopping platform, behind it are four Internet giants: Xingyuan, Baidu, JD.com, and Rice.

Mr. Zhou also realized that his situation was over. He sighed and dialed Gao Meng's number.

Gao Meng was not surprised at all by Mr. Zhou's call. It would be better to say that she had been waiting for Mr. Zhou to call.

"Mr. Gao, you have won. Let's talk about the future of Best Express sometime!" Mr. Zhou said straight to the point.

"Then it will be 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Mr. Zhou will be waiting for you at the Xingyuan headquarters."

"Okay, see you tomorrow then!"

Mr. Zhou arrived at Xingyuan headquarters on time at 3 pm the next day.

Gao Meng asked someone to take Mr. Zhou to the office.

"Mr. Gao, is there no room for maneuver in this matter?" asked Mr. Zhou.

"Mr. Zhou, you didn't give us any room for maneuver when you were asking for prices all over the place!"

Mr. Zhou was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Gao Meng to say that.

"Mr. Gao, did you abandon Best Express because of my original attitude?" Mr. Zhou asked with a surprised look on his face.

"That's not true. Our goal from the beginning was Yunda. Best was just a substitute. Now that the genuine product is back, there is no need for a substitute."

"Mr. Gao, if you give us another chance, I guarantee that Baishi will not do worse than Yunda."

"I have already given you a chance, and the money to buy the stock has already been paid to you. As a result, you have not carried out large-scale upgrades to Best Express's business for such a long time.

Don't tell me that everything must be done slowly. Time is the most precious. If you don't cherish time, we can only make other choices."

After listening to Gao Meng's words, Mr. Zhou sighed: "Oh! Okay! Mr. Gao, I understand what you mean. How much do you plan to spend to acquire Best Express?"

"At that time, Mr. Zhou, your valuation of your company was 5 billion. We did not counter-offer. The situation of Best now is completely different from that at the beginning. The 5 billion is definitely gone. How about 2 billion?"

"Two billion! This is impossible!"

"Mr. Zhou, don't get excited. Think about it. If we don't accept it, Best Express will completely collapse in less than half a month. Will you have enough money to pay compensation by then? As far as I know, Best Express

You still owe more than 600 million in debt to the bank, right?"

After listening to Gao Meng's words, Mr. Zhou fell silent.

He thought for a long time and then gritted his teeth and said: "That 2 billion is too little, at least 4 billion."

"Mr. Zhou, you are not qualified to bargain now."

"If it were 2 billion, I would rather sell it to Alibaba. They also offered me a similar price."

Gao Meng frowned when she heard this. She was a little unsure whether Mr. Zhou's words were true or false.

Logically speaking, Alibaba would not be interested in Best Express, but if he just wanted to disgust Xingyuan, it was indeed possible for Alibaba to buy Best Express.

But Gao Meng is not so easy to be manipulated by Mr. Zhou. She feels that Ali will most likely not do such a thing.

2 billion just to vent his anger, Mr. Ma would not be such an impulsive person.

So Gao Meng smiled and said: "President Zhou, you can go talk to Ali that time. We have Yunda in hand and JD.com is enough."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhou stood up and left immediately.

Gao Meng immediately asked people to keep an eye on what was going on with Mr. Zhou and Ali.

If Alibaba really wants to spend 2 billion to acquire Best, just to make Xingyuan feel disgusted, Gao Meng will admit it.

As a result, three days passed, and neither Baishi nor Ali made any movement.

At this point, Gao Meng's heart was completely in her stomach. She was 100% sure that Mr. Zhou was bluffing.

Now you just need to wait patiently. Once Baishi can no longer hold on, Mr. Zhou will naturally come back.

This is exactly what happened. Two days later, Mr. Zhou called again.

Originally, Zhou always wanted to play a trick of indulgence and ask Xingyuan to add some money.

But what Mr. Zhou didn't expect was that Xingyuan remained unmoved by this.

Not to mention adding money, there was not a single call during this period.

This made Mr. Zhou mistakenly believe that Xingyuan really didn't care about Baishi at all, it was enough for them to have Yunda.

In addition, Best's situation has been getting worse and worse recently. It happened to be time for wages to be paid, and the couriers began to protest. If this matter is not resolved, it will not be as simple as Best's bankruptcy.

The general trend was that Mr. Zhou could no longer remain calm. He contacted Gao Meng and expressed his willingness to sell Best Express for 2 billion, but the corresponding debts of Best Express would have to be borne by Xingyuan.
