The Groupon board has recently considered whether to replace the CEO, but ultimately decided to keep Mason's position. Mason doesn't want to talk about Google's takeover, nor does he want to talk about the possibility of acquisitions by other companies. It is understandable that general executives will not talk about mergers and acquisitions. Mason said: "I will not, in the future will not comment on the media unconfirmed rumors." There is nothing to say about it. ”

If shareholders are intolerant, they are not fit to own Groupon stocks. ”

4, Mason said: "What is Groupon?" Is it a group buy net? It comes from the point of collecting group behavior. Then we offer a daily group purchase. We realize that we are building something very unique ... We realize that our time to acquire assets coincides with the move to clear the way for local commerce ... We want to bring every local enterprise to the internet ... We're going to expand it to products and travel. "Mason thinks Groupon is a mobile e-commerce company. He hopes that, like Amazon's retail revolution, Groupon will revolutionize local products, and Groupon wants to give all small businesses a chance to show up online. He says Groupon will focus on mobility, but improving international operations is also a big focus.
