Chapter 513
Born Again: A Journey of Love Rediscovered Novel Chapter 513
To run a business is not to prevent others from taking shares, but to understand which funds will be hot to hold.
Especially if your future industrial layout has a very strong conflict with your shareholders, or even competition in the same category, then your hands will definitely be tied.
At that time, weakness will become the original sin.
John Qin's plans for the future happened to be within the restricted areas of these two companies, so he could only use the other party to scare the other party and be a piece of grass swaying in the wind at any time.
"Damn, is this what it feels like to be a scumbag?"
In the days that followed, John Qin took Nancy Feng around to eat.
Except for the little rich woman who is a bit quiet at night and doesn't know what she is thinking in her little head, during the day she is a sunny, cheerful and beautiful girl.
Then the two of them took the employees from the Shencheng branch to do team building, eat and sing.
When the employees at the sub-station saw their boss and his wife singing "Friends Let's Go Together for Life" and "My good brother, there is something bitter in my heart telling me", everyone was confused.
As August approached, the two of them traveled all the way to Guangdong City and visited the Great Buddha Temple, a thousand-year-old temple, which is the place that many netizens rated as the real-life version of "Spirited Away."
The little rich woman was wearing a white floral dress and a khaki fisherman's hat. Then she waved to John Qin and shouted to her brother to hurry up, making the strange night start to become vivid and bright.
During this period of time, Peng Sheng always thought that John Qin would come to visit again.
Why?
Because he felt that John Qin's real purpose was to discuss cooperation on the payment platform to ensure the subsequent development of the group. As a result, he didn't even see anyone last time, which was equivalent to a wasted trip.
To be honest, the reason why Li Haidong of Tenpay did not meet John Qin was not only the first cooperation with Dianping, but also partly due to the arrangements of the investment department.
They still hope to invest in group buying. In this way, by holding the two most powerful group buying websites in their hands, Tencent may become the biggest winner in the group buying war.
Therefore, they wanted to use Tenpay's cooperation agreement as a bargaining chip to persuade John Qin.
After all, for the upcoming group buying war, payment tools are just needed.
And since the last contact, Peng Sheng felt that although John Qin was hesitant, he was actually more willing to accept investment from Tencent.
In this way, the funds and online payment platform will be all available, right?
But what he didn't expect was that after that time, John Qin never showed up again, as if he had withdrawn for the rest of his life.
"The way Mr. John behaves is really hard to see through..."
Peng Sheng thought about it in the office, but he couldn't figure it out.
At this time, John Qin had already brought Nancy Feng to Hang City. After a night of rest, he met with Alipay CEO Pang Rui.
Just like Tencent, Lv Zhichuan, the manager of their investment department, also came and even said the same thing, that is, if you need funds, I will invest heavily.
"Our funds are really tight..."
"But I'm nervous, I still believe we can survive..."
"If one day the funds of the group are really cut off, you don't need to tell me, I will take the initiative to ask for funds..."
John Qin showed no intention of resisting, but was hesitant. He seemed to be moved, but he could not make up his mind, and his attitude seemed very ambiguous.
Lu Zhichuan couldn't stop being fished by John Qin, just like a scumbag who neither refuses nor agrees to your confession.
I keep saying that if you work harder, you can catch up with me. If you catch up, I will give it to you.
Just... full of blood!
However, although the negotiation on the shareholding failed, the specific details of Alipay's connection with the group and Zhihu's help in promoting Alipay to college students across the country went smoothly.
Pang Rui is different from Qi Zhong of the WeChat promotion department and Li Haidong, the head of Tenpay. She does not care about the company's investments or layout, nor will she help Lv Zhichuan persuade John Qin to join Alibaba in her own name.
Because the Alipay project is the most important layout in the Alibaba ecosystem and the cornerstone of e-commerce, her authority is very high. No matter what investment project it is, it must make way for this promotion plan.
John Qin currently holds the resources of college students across the country and all the consumer markets in first-tier cities. These are the promotion channels that Pang Rui values most.
Therefore, even if John Qin does not accept Alibaba’s investment, no one can stop Alipay’s access to group buying.
At this point, Tenpay’s positioning is the opposite.
Because their business is far less important to the current Tencent system than the promotion of WeChat, the two major manufacturers have different attitudes toward group building. This is the difference in product positioning and industrial layout.
It is this subtle difference that allows John Qin to implement both sides.
"Then let's carry out joint promotion according to the agreed time."
"Yes, we will also send a dedicated technical team to handle the matter of connecting Alipay to group booking."
"A pleasure to work with."
"A pleasure to work with."
John Qin stood up and shook hands with Pang Rui, smiling at each other as brightly as the spring sunshine.
Young and calm, flamboyant but not arrogant, this was Pang Rui's first impression of John Qin. At that time, in her eyes, Mr. John was just a college student who wanted to start a business.
Unexpectedly, in just two years, everyone has been sitting at the same negotiating table.
Pang Rui already thought highly of John Qin, but she didn't expect that she still underestimated him.
Planning first and developing on two fronts. Thinking about the fierceness of group buying in the group buying war, she didn't know how far John Qin could go. The key point was that he was only twenty years old and could survive many people.
Pang Rui sighed, then said goodbye to John Qin, turned and left the conference room.
John Qin also stood up, buttoned up his suit, and stretched out his hands to straighten the wrinkles, apparently planning to leave.
At this time, only Lu Zhichuan was sitting in the conference room, and his heart was filled with a feeling of powerlessness.
I still haven't convinced the other party. Maybe his heartbeat just now was just his own illusion.
However, just when Lu Zhichuan was reviewing John Qin's words and trying to reposition the logic of the other party's behavior, John Qin's gentle voice suddenly sounded from his ears.
"Mr. Lu, it's already evening now, why don't we have dinner together?"
Lu Zhichuan stopped drinking tea and couldn't help but pinch the hand on the table.
It's not an illusion.
There is drama, there is definitely drama in investing in shares.
Because the cooperation between John Qin and Alipay has been negotiated, if he does not accept the demand for investment, he can just leave at this time without making such an invitation.
Judging from Lv Zhichuan's many years of experience in the industry, John Qin has indeed not yet considered accepting investment, but his willingness to maintain the relationship with himself shows that he has left himself a step to accept investment.
"Isn't Mr. John's words just a slap in the face? I am the host and you are the guest. How can there be any reason for the guests to treat you? If you want to treat me, I have to come."
John Qin looked at him seriously: "Mr. Lu, I actually like you very much because you look like a good brother of mine in college, his name is Zhuang Chen."
After hearing this, Lu Zhichuan raised the corner of his mouth: "No wonder I feel like old friends at first sight with Mr. John."
"Then let's go get something to eat?"
When Lu Zhichuan heard the words "what to eat", he couldn't help but frown, and he hesitated for more than twenty seconds without saying anything.
John Qin nodded: "Your silence at the moment is a bit deafening."
At eight o'clock in the evening, when the lights were on and the moon was deep, the two people came out of the hot pot restaurant from the river, with a satisfied smile on their faces.
Then Lu Zhichuan pointed to the street to the east and showed an expression that you know.
That was the end of business cooperation, a place called Footbath Street.
Looking around, the neon lights on the opposite side are flashing, and it looks as dreamy as the scene in Spirited Away. The feasting and feasting attracts countless men who are lost in the night.
The young lady who works here seems to have been under the spell of Granny Yu. She has forgotten her original name and only remembers that she is called "Xinxin", "Nana", "Xiangxiang", "Mengrou" and so on.
However, although they forgot their names, they still have dreams, such as saving enough money and returning to the village to find an honest older brother...
Seeing this scene, John Qin's eyes lit up and he immediately walked over to the other side of the road impatiently.
Lu Zhichuan smiled from behind, thinking that men are all stupid, and they can't move their legs when they see this place.
But that's okay. If we wash our feet together, we're brothers, and we can talk about some things.
But what Lu Zhichuan didn't expect was that John Qin didn't go to the foot bath city, but came to a store called "Colorful Ice Cream" at the intersection with some surprise.
"Hello, would you like a piece of colorful ice cream?"
"Would you like a large or a small portion?"
"Just a small portion is fine, don't give her too much."
John Qin took out his wallet and paid, then rubbed his hands and waited. When he got the rainbow-like ice cream, he suddenly let out an ooh and aah: "Mr. Lu, would you like some? I have a good friend who likes to eat this kind of colorful sweets." ."
Lu Zhichuan looked at John Qin in confusion, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He had seen this man smile many times today, some were mysterious, some were confident, some were modest, some were cautious, but this was the first time that he could really feel that he was very happy.
"Is Mr. John's friend a girl?"
"How did you know?"
Lu Zhichuan did not answer, but remained silent for a moment, then turned to look at the foot washing city opposite, then took out his wallet and rummaged around: "Well, give me a piece of colorful ice cream too."
John Qin turned to look at him: "Eat it by yourself?"
"No, I suddenly remembered that my wife also seems to like eating such colorful things."
"Hey, girls are all the same."
