Born Again: A Journey of Love Rediscovered Novel Chapter 460

The days of winter vacation passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival was approaching.

During this period of time, the group buying market has also undergone a sudden change, and the competition for the market has begun to become more intense.

On January 26, the 23rd, the Lunar New Year in the north, Wowo Tuan announced that it had successfully raised 150 million yuan and started to expand its business to the north.

On the other hand, Dianping received RMB 200 million in financing from Tencent. While competing with LaShou for territory in Kyoto, another group of people in the team quickly sank into the market and began to grab market share in the second and third tiers.

Xihan Heqing’s business has enjoyed another spring in the second and third tier markets, with the popularity of Dianping continuing to spread.

In fact, since New Year's Day, under John Qin's instructions, there has not been much action in group building. Many sub-stations are busy upgrading the business district closed loop 3.0.

The total number of members in four major first-tier cities and 42 second-tier and third-tier cities across the country has exceeded one million in an instant.

After these customer flows brought by group purchases are converted into circle members, daily consumption is also locked in this circle and is constantly being developed.

At the same time, Mr. Xianhui has also upgraded its services and provided free door-to-door delivery services to residential areas near the business district, which has increased the stickiness of members to an unparalleled level.

At this stage, Xihan Heqing and Tuan Tuan are still two straight lines that do not intersect. In fact, half of the brands have not entered Tuan Tuan.

Most of these brands are third-, fourth- and fifth-tier partners, with a small number of branches and a relatively weak foundation.

John Qin did not allow them to join the group, but arranged for them to first join the opponent's website, also to better take advantage of the situation.

"Boss, those brands that have previously withdrawn from the strategic cooperation plan have often called me recently, saying that they want to participate in the sixth round."

"Just say that you were too busy before the year, so we can discuss it after the year."

"Well, in addition, the funds injected by the Eight Heavenly Kings into Jin Shennan have been transferred to the group account."

"Okay, I will call you later to express my heartfelt thanks to my Eight Heavenly Kings."

After talking to Lana Wei on the phone, John Qin stretched out, looked out the window at the night, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

He's rich, he's got the means, he's damn handsome, he's unstoppable.

At this moment, Ms. Yuan Youqin's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, calling him to go downstairs to buy a bottle of soy sauce. It sounded far away, and it should have been from the kitchen, but it sounded loud and clear.

A big boss who hides in the dark and turns his hands into clouds and rain. He secretly controls the direction of a nearly billion-dollar market, but he still cannot escape the fate of having to buy soy sauce for his mother.

John Qin sighed, then took his coat out of the room, quickly went to the Ruyi Supermarket downstairs, and bought a bottle of soy sauce.

This Ruyi Supermarket has been open for a long time. It opened almost when everyone moved here together. The seller is an old man who likes to smoke dry cigarettes. According to his seniority, John Qin calls him the third uncle.

The third uncle was smoking a cigarette, making the small supermarket look like a fairyland.

"Third uncle, how much is the soy sauce?"

"Forget it, don't give it to me. It's only fourteen and a half yuan from my neighbor on the street. It's worthless."

The corner of John Qin's mouth twitched, and he thought it must be my third uncle. He said don't give it, but still told the exact price.

He took out his wallet, pulled out a ten-dollar bill and a five-dollar bill and handed it over: "Third uncle, this is a small business. You have to smoke and drink. How can you not give it to me? The more neighbors in the street, the more support you have." Business."

The third uncle happily took the money and said, "You are so nice when you talk."

"I'm also good-looking."

The third uncle didn't answer. He reached out and took a lychee-flavored lollipop from the shelf and handed it over: "Don't look for it for 50 cents. This is for you. My wife likes this the most. I come here to buy it every day."


John Qin was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, no wonder my garbage can is full of candy wrappers. When he ate her little mouth, he thought it was so sweet. This silly little rich woman seemed to be well-behaved, but she turned out to be full of evil thoughts.

But she was really familiar with this community. Some time ago, the two of them went for a walk and met Aunt Caifeng, who lived in Building 5, and called Nancy Feng to eat candy triangles at home.

There is also Grandma Wu who is across the building. Her little granddaughter must be in the first grade. When she sees the little rich woman, she calls her Sister Nancy and asks who the uncle next to her is...

John Qin put the lollipop in his pocket: "Third uncle, who told you that she is my wife's daughter?"

"She...she didn't let me talk. It's better not to ask. The third uncle is not the one who spreads gossip."

John Qin chuckled, wrapped up in his down jacket and returned home. He handed the soy sauce to his mother who was cooking, and found that the little rich woman was beside her, helping her.

John Qin took out the lollipop from his arms and handed it over. When his mother wasn't paying attention, he pinched her little mouth into an O shape, then turned and left.

The little rich woman looked at him stupidly. For some reason, she felt that her brother was a little happy tonight.

"John Qin, don't leave yet. I forgot one thing. We don't have any salt anymore. You can make another trip."

"Mom, I'm busy with work, let the little rich woman do it."

"Where can she go? It's so dark outside, and Nan Shu is unfamiliar with the place."

John Qin chuckled, thinking that she was still unfamiliar with this place. She knew more people than me, and the whole neighborhood probably knew that she was my wife now!

Rumors are really stronger than tigers. If this continues, how can friendship remain innocent?

John Qin put on his coat and ran down to buy a bag of salt for three and a half yuan. The third uncle was like an NPC in the game. He gave him a lollipop and said stop looking for it, your wife likes it.

"The third uncle really pinched my weakness..."

John Qin ran back upstairs. As soon as he put down the salt, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

I took it out and saw that the caller ID was Tina Tan. There were three missed calls before this call, all from her. I guess my down jacket was too thick and I couldn't hear it because I had it in my pocket.

John Qin put the phone to his ear, then picked up a peanut and fed it to the little rich woman, then turned and left the kitchen.

"Boss, Lashou.com has made an announcement, saying that it has reached an in-depth cooperation agreement with Alibaba and raised 300 million yuan in financing."

"In-depth cooperation agreement? How deep?"

"I don't know, but we may be the only weak persimmon in the Shanghai market."

"Is there any action on LaShou.com?"

"Today they acquired five third-tier group buying websites, together with their teams. The current number of employees has exceeded 5,000."

"We have money and people. It seems that Lashou is going to do something big this time. If there is no problem in the Shanghai market, let's release the news about our financing."

"Okay boss!"

After hanging up the phone, John Qin couldn't help but pursed his lips, thinking that Lashou.com had been depressed for the past two months, and now that it had received the largest financing, it would probably go crazy.

And the reality was just as he said. On the night when Lashou.com's funds were in place, the Kyoto headquarters held a city manager's meeting without stopping, and people in charge from all over the world arrived overnight to lead the team to attend the meeting.

It's the end of the year and they can't wait any longer. They decided to take revenge and complain!

At the meeting, the boss of Lashou.com was Wu Bo, who specifically named three names.

According to Dianping, LaShou's biggest rival is currently eyeing Kyoto and also wants to get involved in the Shenzhen market. LaShou's later plan is to fully attack him.

The other is Nuomi. Nuomi.com has been LaShou.com’s old enemy since its inception.

It may not be the biggest opponent, but it is definitely the most stable opponent, because from the first round to the third round, although this website did not perform well, it never lost every time. Such an opponent is the most stable opponent. scary.

The last one, join a group.

This was mentioned casually by Wu Bo when he mentioned the failure of Nuomi.com and the Shanghai Stock Exchange some time ago.

Nuomi has raised 150 million yuan, and Dianping has raised 300 million yuan. What about group shopping? For a website that has grown by relying on opportunism, his methods are indeed scary, but in the battle for group buying, money is the only thing that matters, so group buying is nothing to be afraid of.

Wu Bo named Yang Xueyu, immediately cleared the Shanghai market, forced Nuomi away, and easily took over all websites that fished in troubled waters such as Tuan Tuan.

He even mispronounced the name of the group three times, pronouncing the group into a picture, and his contempt was not concealed.

But everyone knows that there is nothing wrong with the boss's arrogance. Small websites like Tuanping will never get funds in the third round, because this is the peak battle, and no one will want to be in the second tier. Place bets on the website.

Investment is a matter of trust.

Just like a marathon, no one will believe that a lame person can become the champion.

Even if he uses all his methods, it will only be useful during the empty period when no one has funds, now? Sorry, that set is no longer available.

On the night after the city managers meeting, Yang Xueyu stared at the ceiling and couldn't sleep for a long time, and Robin was the same.

During the two-month idle period, all capitals were observing and all websites were negotiating. They had been bullied too many times.

They were bullied by joining the group, and bullied by the New Year's Day promotion of the group. After Nuomi got the funds, he treated them as soft persimmons and also bullied them.

Now that they have money, the excitement on the eve of revenge makes them unable to sleep at all.

So, the two of them made an appointment and went out for a drink.

"I was working in the Shanghai Stock Exchange at that time and had no money, so every step was difficult. But this time you are able to keep the clouds clear and see the moonlight. If you knock down the glutinous rice, you are not far away from being promoted and making a fortune."

Robin opened a bottle of wine and handed it to Yang Xueyu.

Yang Xueyu took the bottle and poured a glass: "I plan to remove the problem of group-building first."

"Why?"

"The boss thinks that a group tour without money is nothing, but...it will always be a shadow in my heart, and I must ensure that it will never have any chance again."

Robin thought for a while and then said: "If you can defeat the group within half a month and acquire those merchants with which he cooperates deeply, you might be able to deal a fatal blow to Nuomi at the minimum cost."

Yang Xueyu nodded: "The funds this time are very sufficient, half a month is enough."

"John Qin... is a genius. If he were in charge of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Nuomi would not have any foothold at all now. So, if you can attract him, don't let him go. Nuomi will definitely I'm also keeping an eye on him, and I'll probably offer him a sky-high price."

"I understand that once the fire of group-building is extinguished, I will make an acquisition proposal. John Qin must not fall into the hands of other websites. His threat is too great."

Robin nodded and suddenly asked a question: "How much do you think John Qin is worth?"

Yang Xueyu held the wine glass and pondered for a long time: "I think he is worth 300 million."
