Chapter 382: Showing Off Your Strength
Huabei has actually started internal testing recently.
If Cheng Zhu remembers correctly, it seems that it was fully launched in early April.
The impact of its emergence on the young consumer market is enormous!
It can even be described as unprecedented!
The popularity of credit cards among Chinese people is not as high as in many Western countries.
But the emergence of Huabei means that everyone has a credit card in their hands.
To be exact, it is better and more convenient than a credit card.
In the past, everyone’s wallets were empty at best.
Now, it can directly turn your wallet into negative.
For some people, Huabei has brought great convenience to life. But for some people, it is also an abyss.
Cheng Zhu made his fortune in e-commerce in his previous life, so he is very sensitive to e-commerce data.
He not only studies current data, but also searches out data from previous years for research.
"As far as I can remember, Alibaba's Singles' Day sales in 2015 seemed to have reached 90 billion, an increase of 60% over the previous year!"
This data caused a sensation across the country at that time and was the talk of the town!
"And you have to know that Huabei is a new thing, and the number of people using Huabei is increasing year by year."
"In 2015, not many people knew how to use Huabei."
“But the effect it has had is already exaggerated.”
When Cheng Zhu thought of this, he couldn't help but think of the so-called "dog-licking economy".
"Huabei's installment payment is really suitable for bootlickers."
"The woman has already slept with someone else, but the bootlicker is still helping her pay off her phone in installments."
“There will always be a shortage of men who try to pretend to be rich.”
There are countless real-life examples of similar situations, it’s really too sloppy.
What’s interesting is that these few years are indeed an era in which the dog-licking economy is prevalent.
There are more and more inexplicable "artificial festivals" every year.
The pitfalls of consumerism are also beginning to increase.
It is not difficult to find that starting from the past few years, if you are in a relationship, you will have to celebrate an outrageous number of festivals every year.
It will take several more years for the dog-licking economy to gradually collapse, and it will be a complete collapse.
"After a few years, many people said that many festivals didn't seem to have the same flavor as before, but what was the reason?"
"The reason is that the dog-licking economy has collapsed."
“Who supports the festive atmosphere?”
"To be a little narcissistic — it's often men."
"Once men no longer prepare gifts, men no longer plan dates, men no longer create romance, men no longer send those 520 yuan red envelopes that will be despised."
"If men stop doing these things, the atmosphere of many festivals will immediately be much worse."
Of course, this is only a part of the group.
There are still many beautiful love stories between men and women in the world.
Good girls will definitely not be angry when they see the business logic behind this.
After all, if good girls are unwilling to give to stinky men, then the festival economy will collapse even more.
Cheng Zhu leaned his entire back against the chair, then raised his head slightly and looked at the ceiling with deep eyes.
“2015 is a very important year.”
“The curtain has been raised on the era of consumption.”
“I have a lot to do this year.”
“Time waits for no one!”
At noon, Cheng Zhu and Lin Lu had lunch together.
The school will be on holiday in two days, and the Chinese New Year is not far away.
Once the winter vacation begins, Shen Qingning and Lin Lu will both go back home.
At that time, I definitely won’t have as much freedom as living in the Xinhang Apartment.
During the meal, Xiaolu also said: "I asked Ningning to eat with me, but she refused to come, saying that she didn't want to be a light bulb between us."
"She doesn't just want to be a light bulb." Cheng Zhu muttered in his heart.
She doesn't want to be the heroine of a sad novel.
Recently, Cheng Zhu and Shen Qingning have started to communicate more than before, but apart from business matters, the two have no contact at all.
They are now maintaining the tacit understanding of "doing business as business".
No one will break it for the time being.
Because of Lin Lu's existence, this tacit understanding allows the three of them to be in a delicate balance.
"Cheng Zhu, do you have anything to do this afternoon?" Lin Lu asked.
"Yes, Mr. Yue came to Hangzhou today and said he wanted to meet me and sit down and chat." Cheng Zhu replied.
"Oh, then let me think about where I can go to kill time this afternoon." Lin Lu began to fall into deep thought.
"It's okay. If you have nowhere to go, just follow me." Cheng Zhu said.
Xiaolu's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this: "Is that okay? Will you guys be unable to have a good conversation if I'm around?"
"What's wrong? Are you a commercial spy? Should we be afraid that you will overhear commercial secrets?" Cheng Zhu joked.
He turned his head to look at her, pretending to be serious, and said with a serious face: "Xiaolu, please put yourself in the right place."
"ah?"
"You are my girlfriend, what can't you listen to?" Cheng Zhu said.
When Lin Lu heard this, she was delighted and a smile immediately appeared on her face, with two little dimples that were so adorable.
This cocky girl really likes the feeling of being treated specially.
After all, for a rich girl like this, material values have been maximized since childhood, and what she needs more is emotional value.
In fact, Cheng Zhu knew clearly in his heart that Yue Dongyi wanted to meet him today just to chat with him and not to discuss any important matters.
For important business matters, everyone usually holds video conferences, and Yue Dongyi is not the only one participating in the meetings from Prin Capital.
Today, [Yuzu Tea] is gaining momentum and is at its peak. Prin Capital attaches great importance to this project and even regards it as one of its trump projects in 2015.
Therefore, he guessed that the reason why this big shot in the investment circle wanted to sit down and talk with him was probably because his words a few days ago, "the young consumer market will usher in a huge upgrade in 2015," sparked Yue Dongyi's interest.
To put it simply, during this chat, Cheng Zhu went there to show off in front of this veteran king of bullshit!
Of course, this is a more popular way of saying it.
From a business perspective, Cheng Zhu has recently felt the energy and resources of Prin Capital. Prin Capital has played a supporting role in [Yuzucha]'s layout in many first-tier cities.
It is not a bad thing to show your presence in front of this [partner] of Prin Capital more often and prove your business acumen.
The more he shows in front of Yue Dongyi, the greater the investment from Prin Capital will be during the second round of financing!
Yes, Cheng Zhu has already started planning and laying the groundwork for the second round of financing.
After all, the first round of financing exceeded 100 million yuan, so when it comes to the second round of financing, it is not as simple as just one or two small goals.
"He's so awesome, I must catch this sheep and get more out of it," Cheng Zhu thought.
The meeting place with Yue Dongyi was decided by Cheng Zhu, and he set it at the teahouse.
The last time I came to the Teahouse was when I brought the sisters Zhang Qiqi and Meng Yiyi to meet Zhu Youwei.
Zhu Youwei, the big boss of the internet celebrity company, originally thought that Cheng Zhu would definitely be a big shot in the future, but he probably never expected that not long after, the small milk tea shop would raise 100 million yuan in financing.
After arriving at the teahouse, Lin Lu immediately became excited.
"Cheng Zhu, this is what you ordered? I'll pay later. I'll use my dad's card and there'll be a discount. Hehe!" Lu Bao had already started to act unfaithful.
"Okay." Cheng Zhu never missed any opportunity to live off someone.
When Yue Dongyi walked into the box, both sides were slightly stunned.
Cheng Zhu and Lin Lu didn't expect that he would bring Yue Lingjing with him, and Yue Dongyi didn't expect that there was a young woman in the box, and she was so intimate with Cheng Zhu.
"Boss Yue, classmate Yue." Cheng Zhu stood up and greeted them, and introduced them: "This is Lin Lu. Boss Yue, you may not know that the store design and decoration of our Youzu Tea are also handled by her company."
After a brief greeting, everyone sat down in the box.
Yue Lingjing looked at the two people opposite her with a little curiosity, thinking in her heart: "Are they in love?"
For some reason, when she thought that the person sitting opposite her might be Cheng Zhu's girlfriend, she felt an infinite sense of shame in her heart.
After all, under the influence of my senior sister Fox Words, I saw the pornographic pictures of someone else's boyfriend.
During that time, she hid in the quilt of the dormitory and looked at each picture countless times. The plots in them were more and more exciting each time.
To round it off, she is equivalent to the "eighteen martial arts" in the reading process.
This kind of psychological feeling is very complicated and a little hard to describe. At this moment, Yue Lingjing even felt a little embarrassed.
"It's all my senior sister's fault!" Jingjing had complained like this in her heart for who knows how many times.
——"I'm not clean anymore."
But she had no idea how "dirty" her senior sister had been made by Cheng Zhu.
The reason why Yue Dongyi brought Yue Lingjing along was simply because he wanted her to have more contact with powerful peers and feel their business capabilities.
This old-time king of the bullying world has his eyes set high. The fact that he could develop the idea that "this kid is similar to me" in Cheng Zhu must mean that he regards him as the leader of the younger generation.
Everything happened just as Cheng Zhu had expected. Yue Dongyi didn't come here specifically to talk about pomelo tea. He was just very interested in Cheng Zhu's business judgment and kept steering the topic towards this year's consumption prospects.
Since the two of them are already in the same boat, Cheng Zhu doesn't mind showing off a little more of his talents in front of him!
Yue Dongyi looked at him and said, "I went to Alibaba again this morning. I can tell you clearly that my judgment is consistent with yours. In 2015, the consumption power of young people will be greatly upgraded."
"To be exact, the entire Alibaba is paying close attention to this area. Aren't you also doing e-commerce business? This year's Double Eleven will probably be particularly lively." He also indirectly revealed some information to Cheng Zhu.
But he didn't know that Cheng Zhu knew more than him.
He looked at Yue Dongyi and slowly put down the teacup in his hand. He was going to start accumulating strength!
Cheng Zhu said, "I personally predict that the data of young consumers on this year's Double Eleven will definitely refresh everyone's cognition."
"Oh, then to what extent do you think it can reach?" Yue Dongyi asked with interest.
As a result, what Cheng Zhu said shocked him.
Cheng Zhu said: "I think this year the consumption ratio of those born in the 1990s will exceed that of those born in the 1980s for the first time!"
Just a few words caused a huge wave in the heart of Yue Dongyi, a big shot in the investment circle.
The investment tycoon stared at him, frowned and asked immediately: "Are you sure?"
