Next, Fang Zhenzhen and Song Jian had a long chat.

From national policies to the direction of internet development.

In short, the topic is very broad, but also rather vague.

After chatting for more than two hours, it was noon. The shopping mall had prepared a banquet at the hotel on Sunday.

That night.

Song Jian and his group settled down in Nandu.

Hotel room.

Song Jian asked in a deep voice, "What are your thoughts on the Star Network?"

The team members had been holding back their anger for a long time.

When Song Jian asked, they couldn't help but criticize StarNet.

"alright!"

Song Jian interrupted everyone, saying, "You need to understand one thing: Star Network doesn't need our investment. Our goal this time is to find a way to secure Star Network's investment!"

It's obvious that his subordinates haven't changed their mindset yet. In the past, when they went to investigate and visit, people treated them like their sugar daddies, so they naturally treated them with utmost care!

But Sunday Mall is different. If we can't change our mindset, we'll probably have a hard time completing this task.

It was precisely because Song Jian discovered this that he wanted to hold a meeting with these people to change their mindset!

Although people from the AL family have a mysterious self-confidence, it depends on the person and the occasion.

Upon hearing Song Jian's words, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.

Over the next few days, Song Jian brought people to visit Xingchen Network almost every day.

At first, Fang Zhenzhen personally received them.

But after two times, she stopped personally taking charge and instead handed it over to a vice president. After all, she was still very busy. Fortunately, she had the medicinal wine. Without it to replenish her strength and energy, she wouldn't have been able to keep going!

On the fifth day after arriving in Nandu.

Song Jian made a request to meet Gao Yan.

Fang Zhenzhen called Gao Yan to ask for his opinion.

Gao Yan thought for a moment.

I still want to see Song Jian.

The meeting place was in the Star Network's reception room.

"Hello, Mr. Gao, I've heard so much about you!"

Upon seeing Gao Yan, a fleeting look of surprise crossed Song Jian's eyes. He hadn't expected Gao Yan to be so young and handsome. However, he didn't underestimate Gao Yan because of his youth; instead, his heart became even more solemn.

After exchanging pleasantries and taking their seats,

Song Jian observed Gao Yan while exchanging ideas with him.

The more he observed, the more surprised he became. He was able to become the chief investment president of AL Financial not by luck, so he was extremely good at judging people.

But when facing Gao Yan, he felt like he couldn't handle him.

"President Song, let's cut to the chase and get straight to your purpose!"

After chatting for a while, Gao Yan decided not to waste any more time.

Instead of wasting time chatting with Song Jian here, I'd rather go downstairs and spend some quality time with Qian Bao'er.

"Mr. Gao, do you think there's any possibility of us cooperating?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Song Jian regretted them, because they put him in a passive position.

"Impossible!"

Gao Yan shook his head: "However, although we can't cooperate, there's no need for us to become enemies, don't you think, President Song?"

At this point, a smile appeared on Gao Yan's face.

Is this possible?

Song Jian smiled wryly, knowing that the Sunday Mall model was bound to affect Taobao's operations.

Allowing Sunday Mall to grow unchecked would be a form of slow suicide for Taobao.

It is precisely because Mr. Ma saw this that he suppressed Sunday Mall.

Unfortunately, their seemingly ruthless tactics failed to defeat Sunday Mall, and instead, they were outmaneuvered and defeated.

"That's fine, fair competition is acceptable!"

Gao Yan said again.

"Alright, let's work together again sometime!"

Song Jian didn't say anything more. He had already sensed Gao Yan's attitude and it was impossible for it to change just because of a few words from him.

After seeing Song Jian and his group off.

Gao Yan greeted Fang Zhenzhen and then leisurely strolled downstairs to the game company!

I spent several hours cuddling with Qian Bao'er.

They had lunch together before Gao Yan left.

On the other side.

After returning to AL, Song Jian immediately went to see Boss Ma!

In fact, he had already given a brief report over the phone.

Upon arriving at Mr. Ma's office, Song Jian gave a more detailed report.

While listening to Song Jian's report, Boss Ma tapped his fingers on the desk. After the report was finished, he stopped tapping and fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Old Song, tell me, if we want to suppress Sunday Mall, where should we start?"

Song Jian shook his head: "To be honest, Mr. Ma, I don't know how to start either. And I have a feeling that continuing to oppose Sunday Mall will not end well!"

"Why?" Old Ma asked.

“We only saw the speed of Sunday Mall, but we didn’t think deeply about what it meant!” Song Jian said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ma looked thoughtful and sighed, "Yes, being able to easily acquire land in dozens of cities, that speed is something we at AL can't do!"

"Moreover, Gao Yan mentioned the words 'fair competition'!"

Song Jian reminded him.

"Is he threatening us?" Boss Ma's face showed a hint of anger.

"Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't!"

Song Jian did not give a prepared answer: "I heard that Tencent also sent people to Sunday Mall before Singles' Day, but nothing came of it!"

"Is that so?"

Mr. Ma was startled.

Tencent's eating habits are even worse than theirs.

Xiao Ma is not someone who gives up easily, but he only sent someone to Sunday Mall once and got no results. What does that mean?
