Born Again: A Journey of Love Rediscovered Novel Chapter 368
At ten o'clock in the evening, after the Linchuan Business Gang's cocktail party, the waitress in cheongsam began to distribute souvenirs and wait for the bosses to leave.
Various luxury cars were lined up at the front door of Longkai Hotel, and the surroundings were illuminated by car lights as bright as day.
To be honest, in the past, year-end banquets would basically last until late at night. Some bosses who didn't get enough would change the venue to a feasting and entertaining show, followed by music and dancing.
But no one expected that this cocktail party would end just after ten o'clock.
"Why so early?"
"Mr. John said that their student dormitory has access control and closes at 10:30."
"oh oh..."
The bosses in suits and ties were in a trance, and then they remembered that the God of Wealth was actually a college student, and it was said that he was the first study star of the university.
In fact, this identity is easy to remember, but for some reason, they always forget John Qin's identity as a college student.
Having a heart-to-heart talk with the boss of Linchuan about the layout of the business landscape, then turning around and rushing back to bed because of the school access control, it is really scary for a person who can stir up troubles but also abide by the rules.
"Let's go?"
"Send Mr. John off. Wait until Mr. John leaves before leaving."
While the bosses were talking, they walked down the steps and headed towards the front door. They saw John Qin waving goodbye to everyone in the orange lights. Then he got into the back seat of a pink electric car and was kissed by an extremely beautiful girl. Pick up.
Some bosses who got on the bus early did not dare to overtake him, so they followed behind and moved slowly. The scene was very magical.
At this time, on the street, Burger King's Liu Xiliang watched the electric car carrying the God of Wealth go away, and then squatted at the door of the hotel waiting for someone to pick him up. During this period, many bosses greeted him and asked him how to get there.
"Mr. Liu, do you want to go back with my car?"
"No need, my daughter doesn't know what happened today. Her filial piety broke out and she wanted to pick me up."
"Hahahaha, okay, okay, let's see you next time."
Liu Xiliang smiled and waved goodbye to them, and then saw a black business car parked in front of him.
The car door opened and Liu Yin appeared and asked his father to get in the car.
"Whose car is this?"
"Um, a friend's car."
Liu Xiliang didn't think deeply, so he patted his butt and got in the car, only to find that there was not only his daughter in the car, but also her best friend Ye Ziqing, and another man and a woman, who looked a little strange.
Liu Xiliang was stunned for a moment: "Yinyin, are you going out to play with your friends again tonight?"
"No dad, Ziqing and the others are here to find you."
"?"
In mid-October 2009, Ye Ziqing suddenly received a call from her college senior, who wanted to ask her to have dinner with her.
The senior brother’s name is Zhou Zhenhao, who is 28 years old this year. She has been friends with her for many years. When Jiuhui Group Buying Network first started, he helped Ye Ziqing handle many things, such as cooperation and price negotiations.
Although the website ended up closing down, Zhou Zhenhao's ability still left a deep impression on Ye Ziqing.
In addition, there was someone at the dinner named Cui Yiting, who was also a famous figure in their generation.
Cui Yiting studied well and was beautiful, but she didn't like to be treated as a flower vase, so she opened a supermarket in school and established a tutoring organization, and she was successful in everything.
The three of them were really dazzling back then.
Even compared to John Qin, I am afraid it is even worse.
And they are all children from rich families, especially Cui Yiting. Her family is in the real estate business, and it is getting bigger and bigger now.
In addition to having good family backgrounds, they are also very competitive and always want to make some achievements that are truly their own. It is not surprising that they can become friends.
"Ziqing, the three of us will go to a group-buying Internet cafe together."
"You should know about John Qin. He stopped doing group buying and said that group buying has no future. Isn't this an excellent opportunity?"
"He is too young, and his vision has not kept up with the development of the times, but as a junior, you should know that group buying is the blue ocean of the future."
"The group-building system is mature and replicable, and we can use it directly."
"With John Qin's development path, within a year, we will be able to firmly hold the advantage of the track in our own hands."
Ye Ziqing originally thought this was just a gathering of old friends he hadn't seen for many years, but he didn't expect Zhou Zhenhao to be so straight to the point, so his smile instantly faded, and then he fell into silence.
In the years after graduation, her life was actually very boring.
Running around for the family business and drinking with various clients, my heart has long been numb.
It wasn't until John Qin's group fight appeared that she realized that she still wanted to start a business and pick up where she failed.
But John Qin quit and said nothing, so it was impossible for her heart not to beat when she heard Zhou Zhenhao's agreement.
In fact, Ye Ziqing has long had the idea of building a group buying website of his own, because even if John Qin doesn't continue to work on it, this project will be started by others sooner or later. If you don't cherish something, why shouldn't I cherish it?
However, due to the moral shackles in her heart, it is difficult for her to "rob the fruits of her junior students", otherwise she would not propose the plan of "buying a group package".
But today, when Zhou Zhenhao expressed this idea for herself, she realized how much she longed for it.
Therefore, Ye Ziqing only thought about it for less than three days before he opened the shackles in his heart and established the Xixin Group with Zhou Zhenhao and Cui Yiting in Yangzhou.
Following John Qin's development model, their Xixin Group developed extremely quickly, and it was not long before it was spread throughout the city.
The leaders of Yangzhou City were also very excited, because they had been paying attention to the developments in Linchuan for a long time, so they immediately made an appointment with them, which gave a great boost to the development of Suixin Tuan.
Today, they came to see Liu Xiliang to seek cooperation.
Because the local brands in Linchuan are so popular now, if they want to do group buying, these brands are a mountain they can't get around.
"Uncle Liu, I know that you and John Qin are partners now, but you also know that he no longer does group shopping, so strictly speaking, we and he are not competitors, and you will not have any problems if you cooperate with us. question."
"Group buying is a major trend in the future. In the future, young people will only shop around on the Internet and choose a store to purchase directly, so group buying will become inevitable."
"Uncle Liu, Yinyin and I have been friends since childhood. You should be able to trust me, right?"
Listening to Ye Ziqing's words, Liu Xiliang remained silent.
The three of them thought he was thinking about it, so they couldn't help but add fuel to the fire and briefly recounted the subsequent development plan.
For example, quickly spread across a city, and at the same time cooperate with multi-channel publicity, turning points into lines, and from lines into surfaces, and then weave into a large network to form your own business form.
"Uncle Liu, within two years, Suixin Tuan will be popular all over the country."
Liu Xidian nodded: "The idea is good, but cooperation is not good."
Zhou Zhenhao couldn't help clenching his fist: "Uncle Liu, sometimes people need to embrace new things."
"You are juniors, and it is a good thing to be hardworking. I can't beat you. Well, for Yin Yin's sake, I can help with everything except cooperation."
Ye Ziqing, Zhou Zhenhao and Cui Yiting looked at each other and said after a while: "If you don't agree, can you help us make appointments with the CEOs of several other brands?"
Liu Xiliang was silent for a moment: "It's useless. Their attitudes should be similar to mine."
"Uncle Liu, you just need to make an appointment for us, and we can talk about the rest ourselves."
Fifteen minutes later, the black business car stopped at the gate of a certain community. Liu Xiliang took Liu Yin out of the car and walked into the gate.
Liu Yin was still confused about her father's firm refusal: "Dad, Uncle John doesn't engage in group buying anymore, why aren't you willing to give them a chance?"
Liu Xiliang looked back at Liu Yin: "I used to be like them, thinking that as long as you work hard and are ruthless enough, no one can stop you. But after meeting you, Uncle John, I realized that that's not how real business is done." of."
Liu Yin was confused: "How does Uncle John do his business?"
"How would I know? If I had known, wouldn't I have become the richest man? But if you had seen your uncle John's methods, you would know that Ziqing and the others are too naive. If Mr. John is building the Great Wall, they will It's like playing in the sand."
"Kesuixin Tuan is really popular in Yangzhou."
"Isn't our Burger King popular in Linchuan? It is also a household name brand. I spent five years marketing to other places, and all 18 branches in other places closed down. Girl, no one will care about you when you are huddled in one place. But that’s not how business is done nationally."
Liu Yin followed the family: "Dad, do you mean that Ziqing and the others will fail?"
Liu Xiliang sat on the sofa and made a cup of tea: "They did well in Yangzhou because they had the credit of your Uncle John. The system is your Uncle John's, and the model is your Uncle John's. Even the Yangzhou Municipal Government also took note of it." John Qin will only support Ziqing when he uses his methods in Linchuan, do you understand?"
"I understand this."
"So Yangzhou's results are not theirs, but your Uncle John's, and you will know when they go out. How can it be so easy? It's still made from dots to a line. Do you think other competing companies will just watch?"
Liu Yin was silent for a long time: "But Ziqing is my good friend."
Liu Xiliang glanced at his daughter: "It's because you have a good relationship that I agreed to arrange a dinner for them, otherwise I wouldn't even consider it."
...
On the third day after New Year's Day, several popular brand CEOs in Linchuan were invited to Juxian Tower by Liu Xiliang.
This time, Ye Ziqing and the others came really prepared. They made more than 20 pages of ppt alone and continued to explain while the brand owners were eating.
Cui Yiting is beautiful and eloquent. In addition, she comes from a wealthy family and has a good temperament. Her acting as the commentator really attracted the attention of several bosses present.
But after finishing speaking, several bosses smiled and shook their heads. Their thoughts were similar to Liu Xiliang's.
Because after seeing John Qin's methods, they were indeed not interested in the rhetoric of Ye Ziqing's team.
"Girl, this free group of yours is Mr. John's group, right?"
"Well, our models are pretty much the same."
"Then Mr. John doesn't do it anymore. How dare you do it? You are so stubborn?"
Cui Yiting was stunned for a moment: "If he doesn't do it, can't we do it?"
Zhou Zhenhao pulled her aside and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, that John Qin is not a god. Maybe he doesn't do group building because he has no ambition. It doesn't mean that this project can't be done."
Mr. Zhao from Zero Hour Convenience Store waved his hand: "Xiao Zhou, your idea is indeed good, but I still want to believe Mr. John's judgment. Besides, our Linchuan Merchant Gang also has its own rules and regulations. Forget about cooperation, let's do it today. Come here first."
While talking, several other bosses also expressed the same meaning, and then stood up and left the table.
They came here just to save Liu Xiliang's face. They didn't even take a few bites of the food, and then left the box while chatting and laughing.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhenhao's smile gradually disappeared: "These people really have no vision."
Ye Ziqing patted him on the shoulder: "Business is not always smooth sailing, so just be normal."
"I'm fine, but the guy named Zhao called Mr. John Qin and called me Xiao Zhou. It's really rude."
Cui Yiting put away her computer and sat over: "Time will tell who is the winner. I hope they will not regret today's rejection."
Liu Yin was also sitting next to her at this time: "Ziqing, while the investment is not big yet, I think you should think about it carefully."
Ye Ziqing's eyes were slightly confused: "Yin Yin, why are you like this? Don't you trust my judgment anymore?"
"No, I'm just reminding you."
"Let's eat first. Cooperation with these brands is the icing on the cake. If we don't have it, we won't be unable to do it. It'll be fine."
The four of them sat down, had a little meal, and then left the Juxian Tower.
After the cooperation talks collapsed, Ye Ziqing and the others inevitably felt a little disappointed, so they took a walk along the street, only to find the bosses in front of them who had just left Juxian Tower.
They were wearing suits and ties, standing in front of a milk tea shop with great grace, queuing up to buy milk tea, holding a black card in their hands.
Seeing this scene, everyone was a little shocked.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"Drink milk tea. Look at this milk tea. It's the exclusive flavor of the world's richest man. Although it's very earthy, it's really classy."
"How come you also learned to drink milk tea?"
"This is Mr. John's new model. It's free with a business card. I saw it when we came out just now, so we came over to try it out."
