Chapter 481
Born Again: A Journey of Love Rediscovered Novel Chapter 481
On April 20th, after Guyu, the number of group-buying users reached the peak in the Shanghai market, and daily special offers gradually entered thousands of households. However, the cost of their activities increased because the public canceled the discount flash sale. A lot.
During these days, John Qin burned incense and prayed to Buddha every day, begging the public to be brave and endure a little longer, but he did not expect that the other party was more fragile than he expected.
He was so angry that he wanted to rush over and give them some chicken soup, telling them not to give up easily, believing that persistence would pay off.
But at this stage, the other three companies already knew that there was nothing more they could do. Even the date of exit was approaching, and they were just waiting for orders from the headquarters.
Fortunately for Robin, Chang Changsong and Yang Xueyu, they had already had enough of this kind of fearful life and were eager to leave as soon as possible.
But Chen Jiaxin's heart was still full of unwillingness.
In half a month, they entered the market quickly and made a quick layout. However, they failed quickly and ended quickly.
To be honest, Chen Jiaxin felt aggrieved by being beaten up by Fatty without even seeing clearly who her opponent was.
In particular, joining a group to grab their coupons, buy their goods, and do their own promotion, this thing made the Iron Lady have a nightmare for three days and couldn't get over it.
"Mr. Chen, a message has arrived from headquarters."
"explain."
"The boss decided to temporarily abandon the Shanghai plan and let us evacuate at the end of the month.
In the evening, there were dense clouds in Shanghai, and light rain fell in patters, as thin as silk threads.
Several managers from Lashou.com and Dianping met in a restaurant, so they invited each other to sit together and chat while eating.
They all live in this hotel, and they actually met each other at the beginning of the month, but because they were in different camps, they didn't have much communication.
But this time it worked, everyone didn’t have to fight, so we could sit down to have a meal together and express our feelings.
"The batch of land projects that we jointly laid off in Kyoto were also taken over by the group, and the same was true in Shencheng."
Robin cut the steak with a knife, and there was a deep sense of powerlessness in his tone.
Chen Jiaxin pursed her lips: "The situation is similar here at Volkswagen. All the local promoters who have been cultivated for a year have become wedding dresses. Now that community group buying is available, the bosses are panicking."
"Yes, after the Spring Festival, all companies are spending money to poach executives and talents. They feel that land promotion is useless. As a result, those poached talents are useless, but they are despised by land promotion. We learned a lesson."
Hearing these words, Yang Xueyu and Cui Yiting stopped their knives and forks at the same time, looking a little embarrassed.
Robin suddenly realized that his expression was wrong and waved his hand quickly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you. You are indeed real talents."
"Mr. Luo, there is no need to explain. Your explanation is more aimed at us..."
"I really didn't mean it. I just wanted to say that we have been following the market, but John Qin has been playing with the market."
As Robin spoke, he couldn't help but sigh: "Today's college students are really outrageous. What do they study? Sun Tzu's Art of War?"
Song Yaqian swallowed her saliva: "Mr. Luo, don't get me wrong. In fact, all of us college students are stupid. He is the only one who is like this."
"Yeah?"
Robin was still puzzled. As a college student, if you don't study hard in school and get a certificate at the end of the semester to make your mother happy, what kind of business are you doing? And he did it like this!
But Robin also knew that there was no point in worrying about it now.
Success or failure is a foregone conclusion.
"Change the topic, Mr. Chen. I heard that the public is looking for a gis service provider at all costs?"
Chen Jiaxin smiled and nodded: "We are lucky and have found it."
Robin glanced at him: "It must be Baidu."
"You...how do you know?"
"We have also contacted Baidu. They are willing to provide us with technical support, but the prerequisite is that we need to send local pushers to mark the locations ourselves, and the built database belongs to them. You should get the same conditions."
Chen Jiaxin was noncommittal: "Baidu wants to take advantage of our urgency and strike with nothing."
Robin sighed: "It doesn't matter if you are a wolf with nothing, but Nuomi is the biological son that Baidu spends money to support. If he only makes wedding clothes, our work will be in vain."
After the words fell, everyone couldn't help falling into silence.
They are not silent because of Baidu's appetite. After all, they are in business. If it were them, they would definitely want to have the database that integrates all merchant information in their own hands.
They were just sighing. No one should offend John Qin, because he was really capable of bringing down all his opponents.
They even have the illusion that if Volkswagen hadn’t suddenly settled in Shanghai this time, group shopping might not have directly raised the bar to such a high level, and everyone might be able to live in peace for a while.
Of course, this kind of thinking is pure escape, just to give myself some psychological comfort.
At this moment, Cui Yiting suddenly put down her knife and fork and looked at the entrance of the cafeteria, while Song Yaqian's eyes were also slightly startled.
Then there are Robin, Yang Xueyu, Wu Peng...
Half of the people present subconsciously straightened their spines, as if they wanted to show a kind of calmness and ease, but their expressions were obviously a little nervous.
Chen Jiaxin followed their gazes and saw a young man wearing a black sweater walking in from the door. He walked to the bar expressionlessly, took a steamed bun and put it in his mouth, then took a steak in his left hand and held it in his right hand. a glass of juice.
In the Iron Lady's view, this person was very ordinary, but for some reason, the people around him suddenly became serious, as if they had seen a terrifying existence.
"Hello, Mr. John."
"Good afternoon, Mr. John."
"Mr. John, long time no see."
"Mr. John, do you want to eat together?"
Hearing everyone speaking in unison, Chen Jiaxin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before realizing that this person was the boss of the group, the person who single-handedly beat them to pieces.
It's just that this face is too young. Even after seeing the photo, the Iron Lady still feels like she can't accept it.
John Qin also stopped at this time, but he didn't mean to show off. He took the plate and sat next to Robin, facing Yang Xueyu and facing Chen Jiaxin in the crowd.
There were nine people at the table. John Qin was actually the youngest, followed by Song Yaqian, Zhang Li and Cui Yiting. But when John Qin sat down, even Robin couldn't help but step aside.
"Steak with steamed buns?"
"Huh? Oh, you said this, let me show it to you."
John Qin took a bite of the steamed bun and took out his cell phone to take a picture: "John Qin, the boss of the group group business, had a hard time starting his own business in the early years. He ate steamed buns to satisfy his hunger in the bustling metropolis of Shanghai. He vowed to conquer this city one day."
Robin: ...
Yang Xueyu: ...
Everyone: ...
John Qin smiled slightly: "No matter how brilliant a person is, he will be forgotten, but chicken soup can be passed down forever, and maybe it can even be used in textbooks."
Chen Jiaxin was also stunned at this time, because she had never encountered such a bad person in her career.
But when it came to dogs, she immediately thought of the group fight to grab Volkswagen's half-price coupons to purchase goods, and her face couldn't help but darken: "Mr. John, are our Volkswagen's half-price coupons useful?"
"It's very useful, but it's just too little, but I will give you five-star reviews every time I use it. Really, I am a true fan of Dianping."
The people on Lashou.com were stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what this sentence meant. Why did the person in charge of Volkswagen ask the group owner if Volkswagen’s consumer coupons were good to use?
"What did Mr. Chen mean just now?" Robin couldn't help but ask.
Chen Jiaxin said expressionlessly: "The eggs and fruits distributed by the local sales stalls were bought with our half-price coupons. Even some of the products in their daily specials also used our subsidies."
Everyone in Lashou Net was numb, as if their bodies had been electrocuted.
They thought it would be miserable enough for John Qin to use hotel coupons for free, but they didn't expect the public to be so miserable.
"This is how business is done. You came to steal my market and you blame me for being dirty? Aren't you poaching other people's teams everywhere?"
Chen Jiaxin suddenly became speechless.
John Qin showed a smile: "You people are so fierce that I almost couldn't withstand it. In the end, I was able to narrowly win by luck. You can't help but condemn me from a moral level? So how about this? When I enter your market, I will I also allow you to use my coupons, but..."
"But if you can't win, it's not my fault."
Upon hearing these words, the expressions of everyone at the table suddenly changed, and their hearts trembled twice.
They haven't figured out the map service at this time, and even if they want to do community group buying, they don't have a mature local promotion at all. If they really attack the group buying at this time, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.
This is a threat, a declaration of war.
You came to kill me, and I withstood it. Then, if I come to kill you, can you withstand it?
At this moment, Chen Jiaxin finally reunited the young man in front of her with the group boss who changed the situation in an instant, and felt a rush of pressure.
Seeing that they were silent, John Qin quickly waved his hand: "Don't be nervous. I'm just joking. In fact, I'll be back in two days."
"go back?"
"Yes, I'm still a college student, and I'm the first-ever Study Star. Studying hard is my main job, and playing group games is just a toy I use to kill my spare time."
After a while, John Qin finished his steak and steamed buns, stood up, said goodbye to everyone, and returned to the room.
After taking a hot bath to relieve his fatigue, he turned on his computer and logged into the internal management system.
Half an hour later, the sub-station managers in each major city received a document, which was a detailed step-by-step guide and experience summary for this Shanghai operation.
At the same time, a group of technicians from the AutoNavi headquarters also boarded a plane and headed to the designated city.
