Born Again: A Journey of Love Rediscovered Novel Chapter 477

Pintuan's website upgrade announcement was posted for a day, and during this day, Volkswagen became the most dazzling star in the entire Shanghai market.

The well-spoken review list, coupled with the super high subsidies of real money, the membership plan plus discount and discount promotions, a combination of punches, almost all of the first batch of stores that entered Volkswagen have sold out, and the sales are overwhelming. People lined up the whole road.

In this very short period of time, Dazhong's business area spread rapidly outwards, and Nuomi was directly overwhelmed.

LaShou.com was forced into a corner by a group on New Year's Day, but it was lucky enough to escape this huge impact.

"What are you doing now?"

"Did nothing."

"Did nothing?"

"Well, you can't say that. They did do something, such as... taking over the ground promotion department that we laid off."

In the conference room of Lashou.com, everyone was stunned when Wu Peng told the news fed back by the marketing department.

The market is booming, consumption habits have been developed, and merchant information is almost completely transparent. If you pick up any young man on the street, he will know more about group buying than the person who makes the website. In this case, which places should be recommended? What?

Of course, the same discussion also occurred in Volkswagen's internal meetings.

When Chen Jiaxin asked this question, she quickly got an answer similar to that of Lashou.com, so she waved her hand expressionlessly and announced that the meeting was adjourned.

She is a woman with a strong desire to conquer, and she especially likes to conquer men who have shown off in the business world.

But this time she came to Shanghai, she felt very disappointed, because her opponent's failure made her feel that everything was too easy, and she couldn't feel any sense of accomplishment.

Enterprises without wolf nature are destined not to go very far...

She doesn't feel sorry for her opponent, she just feels a little boring.

"tension."

"exist..."

The night time passed by in a hurry, and it was six o'clock in the morning in a blink of an eye, and everything about the group tour quietly changed.

In the early morning, the sky was just getting dark, and the distant skyline was not white, and there was even a hint of black left. Several trucks drove out from the backyard of Xihan Heqing, and then sent a bunch of ground promoters in yellow vests to the station. point.

Afterwards, these trucks quickly pulled boxes of goods and delivered them to each push stall.

Most of these stalls are set up near residential areas. There are many people who get up early to go to work. Most of them noticed the yellow vests at the entrance of the community and recognized the group logo, so they walked past it without being surprised. passed.

Some people who were anxious to get to work thought they were going to hand out flyers again, and couldn't help but speed up their pace as they approached.

It's just that these local promoters did nothing. They didn't stop people or hand out things. They just slowly laid the table and took out eggs, fruits, rice, noodles, grains, and oil from the boxes, and arranged them in a circle around them, like throne.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the morning light spread across the city, lighting up the streets and alleys, and it was time for Lashou.com to go to work.

Xiao Lin, an employee responsible for monitoring major rival websites, calmly made himself a cup of tea and then clicked on Pintuan.com.

This is an operation he performs every day. He is no longer very skilled at it. Maybe he will tie the knot wrongly because he is dizzy early in the morning, but he will never mistake this process that is almost engraved in his muscle memory.

Xiao Lin slowly opened the webpage, but before he looked carefully, his pupils suddenly shrank, and then a mouthful of tea squirted onto the screen, and he was stunned for a moment.

There were several colleagues who were responsible for other websites nearby. They frowned when they saw this scene: "This early in the morning, are you watching Tingting Mayday again?"

"No... come out, something big happened."

"This update of the group may kill us..."

Robin and the supervisors at all levels arrived at the company after nine o'clock because their morning meeting had been canceled since New Year's Day.

If you can't beat anyone anyway, what's the point of having a meeting? If you have this time, you might as well sleep a little longer.

After coming out of the elevator and entering the front desk of the branch, Robin, Wu Peng, Cui Yiting and Song Yaqian were still discussing the public and group games. They were a little confused in their words, but they were more in the mood of watching a show.

It wasn't until Xiaolin stopped them at the door with his computer in his hand and shouted that something was going on with the team, that their expressions suddenly became confused.

Five minutes later, Xiao Lin was invited into the conference room, and his computer was connected to the projector in the conference room.

He was just a small employee, belonging to the lowest level. He usually had no chance to step into the executive conference room. He was a little nervous at this time, so he held the mouse and clicked on the entertainment section while constantly organizing the words in his mind.

But before he could finish organizing his words, a burst of "fuck" broke out in the conference room.

At this moment, all the executives were looking at the screen in disbelief, with their mouths open wider than an egg.

Because they saw that in the group entertainment section, the distance was marked on the back of each business, a few hundred meters, a few kilometers, a few kilometers...

As Xiao Lin moved the mouse and used the down arrow to select distance priority, all the merchants were revealed from near to far.

"Distance display? How is this possible?!"

"The website upgrade they made last night did this?"

"Nonsense..."

Almost subconsciously, everyone is denying what they see.

Since the rise of the group buying market, there have been thousands of websites. Why are there so many? It’s because its technical threshold is so low.

As long as you find someone to build a website and negotiate with merchants, you can build a small group buying website in minutes.

To put it bluntly, this is no different from some group buying QQ groups, it just changes the carrier from QQ to the website.

Of course, some subsequent giants, such as LaShou, Nuomi, and Dazhong, also made a lot of technical upgrades after receiving funds, such as membership systems, points systems, and lottery systems.

But these things are just very simple and low-cost gadgets in network technology.

But none of them thought that one day, a group buying website would list the nearest stores for users based on their address information and show the distance. This is simply a fantasy.

How do they map? How to do distance calculation? How much does this cost?

You know, Volkswagen is currently the best in terms of technology, but their search system only sorts you by sales volume, discounts, latest, and past purchases after you select a city, but it can never do the distance. Sort this sort of thing.

To put it simply, many people buy coupons for fixed stores, and they may have to cross from the east of the city to the west of the city to use them.

Especially when doing flash sale activities, some people just rush to grab the coupons without having time to check the location information. They only find out after the group has purchased the coupons, Wori, how much does it cost to take a taxi so far away?

This has resulted in many platforms having refund orders due to unintuitive locations that prevent users from actually using them.

But if the group update service is real, it is a complete dimensionality reduction blow, because other websites currently cannot provide this kind of service function.

Once consumers experience something convenient and fast, they will never go back, which is a disaster for other companies.

"Leaders, please don't panic. I...I still have something to say."

"What's wrong? Is it fake?" A glimmer of hope ignited in Robin's heart.

Xiao Lin was dumbfounded for a moment, then he clicked on one of the stores, and then clicked on the route navigation below.

Soon, a route guide with a map appeared on the screen. What was even more surprising was that there were recommended transportation guides next to the route guide, such as which bus lines to take, which subway lines to take... ...

Seeing this scene, everyone in the conference room fell into silence, but what was more eye-catching was the watermark posted under the map, which said Gaode Map.

"What is so high?"

"It is a map service company with Class A surveying and mapping qualifications. It is very famous in the field of vehicle navigation. It provided the route service for last year's World Expo. However, it is not free and open, and the annual service fee is very high. Most companies cannot afford it. ."

"Then what's the deal with...?"

"I don't know about this, but I found a piece of news on the Internet. At the beginning of last year, this company announced its transformation and wanted to enter the Internet market."

Upon hearing these words, Robin's mind suddenly buzzed, numbing his scalp to his heels.

Well, the technology is provided by a professional map service company, but...

Where are the merchant locations for group booking? How does this location match the map? You must know that the current car navigation will only show you surrounding routes and area names, and it is impossible to display surrounding businesses.

Unless they require merchants to provide accurate address information when signing a contract, and then match it with Gaode's map while developing the market.

When did they sign the merchant contract? The earliest was April last year...

The chain catering brand of the food festival and the popular merchants in the business district that have in-depth cooperation now have another foreshadowing that spans a year?

But the outrageous thing is that the group buying industry has only been in existence for one year.

In the conference room, everyone's heart was beating so fast that they couldn't slow down for a long time.

Robin even had a very outrageous idea, that he had already prepared everything for the group joining a year ago, and then waited for capital to catch wind of the trend and follow the mature market, and then jump out on his own. No... this is not true at all. possible.

"Mr. Luo, do you know what I was thinking just now?"

After a long time, Wu Peng looked at a merchant on the screen and spoke.

Robin took a deep breath: "Tell me about it."

"I didn't expect that there was a highly rated spa club about 500 meters away from us. You should know that the point I am talking about is not the spa club. Although I like spa clubs very much, but... you Do you understand?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone understood Wu Peng's subtext.

The new distance service of group buying will attract even those who do group buying, let alone consumers.

Who would have thought that there would be so many merchants around us that we haven’t experienced yet? Who would have thought that I could just go downstairs and click jio during my nap time!

"I think we should follow his map and try it again. We must find out whether it is accurate and how big the threat is."

"It makes sense, Xiaolin, you should come with me."

"Okay Mr. Luo."

Afterwards, the group left the sub-station, followed the route map provided by the group, made many twists and turns, and finally saw the spa on the fourth floor of a commercial and residential building.

Glass door, gauze curtain...

To be honest, there is a gap between the location of this store and the actual distance marked on the map, but since it can be found according to the route guidance, it means that the service effect is very stable.

Everyone looked at each other, their expressions all turned embarrassing.

Group buying brings the service industry online. This has always been a famous saying in the industry. But this time, group buying has directly brought group buying into the field of technology. Such a big step is enough to make everyone scared.

"I want to write a report to the headquarters. This is no longer just a crisis in the Shanghai market. We must find a way to catch up..."

Robin turned around and went downstairs with a sullen face, while Xiaolin opened his mouth to add something, but had no chance to say it.

He wanted to say that the map service is not all part of the group update. They have also updated a function, which is a group system on the right side of the homepage.

But because the group system didn't have any actual content, Xiao Lin didn't know what it was for, so he thought about it for a while and decided to observe it carefully before reporting.

"Mr. Wu, let's go too?"

"Um...you guys go back first, I have something else to do."
