A game of interest involving multiple parties.

Tencent’s relationship with the fast hand is further bound, and Ariga has also joined the “grabbing” of the fast hand.

On December 3, according to “ late LatePost “, Fasthand will complete the last round of financing before the IPO. This round of financing led by Tencent. Boyu Capital, Yunfeng Fund, Temasek, Sequoia followed suit. The F-round financing amounted to nearly US $ 3 billion, and Tencent invested approximately US $ 2 billion, which will account for 20% of the shares in the fast hand. Alibaba’s Yunfeng Fund also participated in the second round of financing, but it was a small amount of shares. and Kuaishou reserve space for cooperation and dialogue with each other.

After this round of financing is completed, the fast-handed post-investment valuation will reach 28.6 billion US dollars. Ask for a quick confirmation on this matter, as of press time, no response has been received from the other party.

This is not the first time that Tencent and Ali have set their sights on the same company. Last year, Ali also invested in Site B, which was previously considered to be a “Tencent Department” Site B. For a high-quality traffic platform, neither will give up competition.

According to the sky eye survey, Tencent has participated in the fast financing as early as 2017. From the D round to the current F round, Tencent has participated and is the lead investor. The relationship between Tencent and Kuaishou is now further bound, but it is not a previously established game joint venture. According to LatePost news, the two games will adopt an exclusive agreement to cooperate.

For Tencent, which is not good at short videos, but is unwilling to give up short videos, investing in fast hands is one of the best choices at the moment. It can deeply bind with the content traffic platform and fast hands Counterbalance the vibrato together. This year, Tencent not only opened up social resources for Kuaishou, Kuaishou’s video links can be shared to WeChat friends circle, but also launched Kuaishou’s WeChat video version “Look at”, Kuaishou’s video resources and WeChat The video information stream is connected.

However, although Tencent is “loving and advancing” with fast players, it has not given up its investment in WeChat. On the order of resources, its own WeChat enjoys richer resources, and WeChat owns “Friends Circle 30s Video” permission. This is a first-level resource from Tencent to WeChat. In contrast, Kuaishou hides a bit deeper in WeChat’s entrance.

For fast players, although not enjoying top resources,That said, there are many advantages. In addition to WeChat’s social resources, Kuaishou also owns Tencent’s game resources. Kuaishou’s development on the road of live games is much smoother than Douyin. Douyin, volcano video, watermelon video, because the game copyright dispute with Tencent has no idea how many rounds have been played, the results obtained by the headline system are basically banned from the distribution of Tencent game content The winning percentage is zero.

Earlier, the game live broadcast data released by Kuaishou showed that its mobile terminal daily life was 35 million, which has exceeded “Douyu + Huya”. According to QuestMobile data, as of June 5, 2019, the daily number of bettas was 15 million and that of Huya was 11 million.

Whether looking at the fast hand in the vertical field or looking at it as a content aggregation platform, the fast hand is now one of the unquestionable high-quality traffic platforms, which is also an important reason for the Ali team. Earlier reports said that Ali had signed a 6 billion annual box with Douyin, and naturally he would not give up the fast iron economy. In terms of e-commerce platform cooperation, Kuaishou has previously established links with platforms such as Pinduoduo and JD.com, and has become their important traffic source entrance.

However, according to the “LatePost” report, the fast-handed attitude towards Ali and Tencent is mostly “neutral”. They are both partners and competitors. This is not only the active choice of a fast hand, but also the result of a game of interest among capital parties such as Tencent and Ali.
