Born Again: A Journey of Love Rediscovered Novel Chapter 472

The friendship between John Qin and Nancy Feng has been steadily warming up, and they no longer need to use sweet potatoes as a cover. The mutual pull between them in the group buying market has gradually escalated, and they no longer care about so-called morality.

After mid-February, when the weather turned warm and cold, Dianping sent two business teams to Tianjin and Xijing. They did not set up branch stations and tried their best to drink with the Lashou team.

Nuomi also sent out his own good generals and asked the district manager of Wowo Tuan to wash his feet, touch and sing in the spa every day.

Nuomi's later layout is to take Shencheng as the core area and penetrate deeply into the southern market. The leader in the southern market has always been Wowotuan, so it is not surprising that Nuomi is targeting them.

According to Wo Wo Tuan's manager Geng later recalled, during that period, he had trouble peeing and the toes of his shoes were often wet.

At the same time, the collective resignation of the 24 Coupon Jiangcheng Marketing Department also came to an end.

What's the end result?

The markets they spent tens of millions of dollars to cultivate in Jiangcheng were all under their control, but the new team temporarily sent out to control the market did nothing. The only thing they did was witness that glorious dusk with their own eyes.

How brilliant?

It is said that on that day, flyers offering 50% off for new users of Lashou.com flew all over the streets, and consumers revolted faster than fucking lightning.

In fact, it was not until this time that the group buying market entered the real commercial war stage, because commercial war itself is immoral.

For example, Lashou.com held a group buying industry exchange conference last year. Boss Wu Bo kept saying that he would guide the healthy development of the industry, work with friends to serve merchants, and benefit consumers. But in the blink of an eye, he stole a tower from his friends.

Blushing? No, because soldiers never tire of deceit.

And there is no shame in making money.

Of course, in the whirlpool of this poaching war, the team cannot stay out of it.

From the sixth grade until John Qin started school, Icebreaker Queen Tina Tan received about fifteen invitations in total, and some people even came to wait under her apartment building.

"Boss, I can't stand it anymore!"

"what happened?"

"The manager they sent doesn't know where he found the handsome man. He looks just like Jang Keun Suk. He's so handsome, just a little bit worse than you. I can withstand the temptation of money, but I can't resist the handsome man!" "

In the past two years, there has been a popular Korean drama called "You're Beautiful", starring Jang Keun Suk, who is very famous in Asia. It was at this time that the concept of handsome boy began to change public aesthetics.

Tina Tan's tone was so infatuated that you could hear it even through the phone.

"Bah, even though he's even worse than me, he still has the nerve to be called a handsome man."

"That's true, but if they send someone more handsome than you next time, I definitely won't be able to handle it!"

"Oh? That doesn't matter. There can't be anyone more handsome than me."

Tina Tan giggled on the phone for a long time, then hung up the phone and got into bed to binge watch the show.

She followed John Qin out of school and had almost blind trust in John Qin. In her heart, the final winner must be them. They would jump to a rival company and show off their talents.

At the same time, John Qin drove the car to the compound of the group headquarters, took out his mobile phone and called Xu Kaixuan in Shencheng.

"Old Xu, is someone poaching you?"

"Huh? No."

"Damn it, you're so handsome and haven't been targeted yet, it means you still need to keep working hard!"

John Qin hung up the phone and walked into the office building. At this time, Susan, Lana Wei, Dong Wong, and Felix Lu were already waiting in the conference room.

After a new year, everyone in the team seems to have gained weight. Susan's face was originally round, but now it is even rounder, but the most obvious one is Dong Wong, whose chin is visibly rounder.

"How's it going? Did you have a good New Year? Look at the literary man. At least he has become more handsome in two places. It seems that wealth really helps people."

"Boss, please elaborate on the two things that make me handsome."

"First, the chin."

John Qin's eyes were full of appreciation: "The second one is the chin."

Only then did Felix Lu realize it: "Damn it, why did Brother Dong even have a double chin?"

"The food was so good..."

John Qin clapped his hands: "We will discuss the double chin later. Let's report on the work first. The nuclear bomb will come first."

Hearing these words, the people in the conference room were stunned for a second, and then they reacted and looked at Susan.

"Boss, I don't want this nickname, it sounds fat!"

"But you are really naughty. I'm at home fussing over my work. What did you teach your boss lady to do? Do you know what you're doing?"

Susan pushed up her glasses and thought to herself, isn't it just to teach the boss lady to wear a short skirt and black stockings to seduce you? It seems that Boss Dog was very tempted and got so angry.

"A nuclear bomb is a nuclear bomb." Susan beeped quietly.

"How is the progress of the app?"

"The Zhihu and group-joining apps are ready."

John Qin turned to look at Lana Wei: "According to the previous plan, we will contact the mobile phone manufacturers, spend some money to provide them with sales subsidies, and turn our app into factory pre-installed."

Lana Wei nodded: "Okay."

"Nanako, continue."

"The technology department currently has three tasks. One is to optimize the website of the independent Toutiao. The other is their app development, as well as some daily optimization work for Pintuan and Zhihu."

John Qin turned to look at Felix Lu: "Currently, the company's main force is following up on the group-building project. Tonight's headlines will be your full responsibility. Your department can openly expand its recruitment."

Felix Lu puffed up his chest: "No problem, boss!"

"Zhihu is not busy with work right now. Wong can help Felix."

"I understand, boss."

John Qin turned to look at Susan: "Gaode's gis service can be connected. Internal testing will be completed before the end of March and it will be officially launched in April."

Susan nodded: "I understand."

John Qin stretched out: "Okay, now we can talk about the double chin..."

In March, the group buying market was in chaos, and the recruitment war had reached its peak.

The regional manager of Wowotuan was not poached, but he backhandedly poached Nuomi's team in Hongcheng, almost severing Nuomi's southern layout by their necks.

At the same time, Dianping poached an internal executive from Lashou. Although there was no substantial impact, hatred began to accumulate.

The group buying market is in chaos again, because the plate has become larger. This turmoil is far more massive than the barbaric growth period.

Someone said, why is it so easy to dig? Don't these people have any loyalty to their company?

Sorry, that's what employees at the bottom think. For senior managers, constantly changing jobs is actually increasing their own worth. If you are transferred to the second company, if you dare to ask for an annual salary of 300,000 yuan, you dare to ask for 400,000 yuan for the next company.

Everyone knows that this war will end one day, and it may end tomorrow. If we don’t jump now, do we have to wait until no one bids?

Think about it. In March last year, Suixin Group settled in Shanghai after its establishment. In the following six months, the number of group buying websites once reached 3,000.

Then there were bankruptcies and acquisitions, and it took another half a year. Now there are still more than a dozen companies left. The upgrading of Internet businesses does not allow others to hesitate. If you don’t change jobs, you will have no chance when one company becomes the dominant one.

As for the group fight, at this stage, they are still outside the main arena, eating melon seeds and watching the show.

It's just like John Qin was hiding in Linchuan during the money-burning war, and it's like John Qin was hiding in the university town when he was snatching merchants to build a business district.

The team in Shanghai is John Qin's personal soldiers, and they are not loyal to team-building, but superstitious. The markets in second- and third-tier cities are all dominated by Xihanheqing, and the market share is not high, leaving no room for anyone to take action.

The most important thing is, just like what the boss of LaShou.com said when he laughed at Tuan Tuan, Tuan Tuan doesn’t even have an independent business area. If you poach him, you might benefit others.

In this way, group fighting is getting further and further away from the core of the war.

At this time, Ye Ziqing from the Shanghai branch fell into deep thought.

When they were doing Sui Xin Tuan, they were also in a whirlpool. If they were burning money, she had to burn money, and if they were pinching each other, she had to pinch each other.

But until this moment, she didn't know how John Qin felt at that time.

Is it so enjoyable to just sit back and watch a movie? Damn it, it’s like having a God’s perspective, having fun wherever you look.

And Ye Ziqing found that when they were on the edge of war, she could see many things more clearly.

Poaching people is indeed a good method, because if I poach your team, I can also pick up a market for free. The cost is much lower than cultivating the team and users myself.

And this way, you can both strengthen yourself and suppress your opponents. It's so delicious, but when the poaching battle reaches its peak, everything changes.

In the past, only Lashou's family was shameless, but now everyone is poaching each other. You poach mine, I poach yours, and it goes back and forth, but no one can take advantage of anyone else.

Who is really taking advantage? It's those executives who are like sitting on the fence.

However, some things cannot be stopped once they start, because if you don’t dig, I will dig, and it will be you who dies first in the end.

No wonder John Qin asked the Shanghai branch to stop its offensive after the New Year Festival, giving Lashou and Nuomi a chance to breathe.

Because no matter how much the market share of the three companies is, in terms of situation, Shanghai still has a three-legged posture, but it can successfully avoid war.

Ye Ziqing turned his head and looked at a calligraphy and painting hanging on the east wall, a word "Gou" written with full ink.

In mid-March, the recruitment war was still going on, and everyone in 208 completed two tasks.

One is the internal test after the Gaode gis service is connected, and the other is the university town promotion of Tonight Toutiao.

Among all John Qin's industries, Zhihu is considered the most popular one. Due to limited advertising space, its monetization ability is very poor. Server, maintenance costs and labor costs are still very high, and the revenue and expenditure are not balanced at all.

The only way out for this kind of website is to go public and make money.

But you have to admit that as a campus forum used by college students across the country, Zhihu’s traffic-draining ability is really impressive.

If Zhihu had not established a traffic pool in advance and locked in the entire group of college students, the group-building project would never have been so smooth when it was tested in Linchuan.

But this time, Tonight Toutiao used Zhihu’s channels to make its promotion work extremely smooth.

Tuan Tuan is a group buying website, while Zhihu focuses on content sharing. There is still a gap between the two when it comes to attracting traffic. However, the core positioning of Toutiao itself is content first. Before, it was an independent section of Zhihu, and the gap was basically non-existent.

"This website... is interesting."

"How can the same news express so many different views?"
