Chapter 553: Rebellion against Tian Gang
Time passed, and five days went by in a flash.
[Persist in visiting] The efficiency here is very high. [Moon Rabbit], which has been highly praised by Chief Experience Officer Hu Yan, has been fully updated.
Such efficiency is the result of Cheng Zhu's requirements.
"During this period, it would be good to make a little more money."
"Ele.me just completed its F round of financing last month, so we still have sufficient funds."
“But the reviews are different.”
Even though Dianping just received US$850 million from Penguin Holdings and Singapore Government Investment Corporation this year, that was already several months ago.
"Moreover, from all aspects, Dianping's self-generating ability is actually quite different from that of Mi Tuan."
Up to now, MiTuan has only had four rounds of financing, and the total amount of financing is only US$1.012 billion.
According to the review of Kefangguandian, there have been 7 rounds of financing, and the total amount of financing is as high as 1.45 billion US dollars!
"Dianping is an old company. It was founded much longer than Miduan, so it is understandable that the number and amount of financing are relatively high." Cheng Zhu understood this point.
“But the problem is that it raised more money, but its valuation is much lower than that of MiTuan!”
MiTuan’s current valuation has reached 6.6 billion US dollars, but Dianping’s is only 4 billion!
The higher valuation exceeds half of your total valuation!
The gap here is quite scary.
Mituan’s industrial chain is very complete, and it can be said that it is involved in all areas of O2O.
But the reviews are much more simplistic.
In this situation where Dianping's own hematopoietic ability and industrial chain are not as good as Miduan, it will be a waste of time and effort for it to just watch Miduan burn money.
To achieve the same effect, others may spend 100 million yuan, but Dianping will spend even more.
"Therefore, although Dianping currently has much more money in its account than Midan, it will probably need to raise funds soon."
After all, the same old saying applies: no one will wait until there is no money in the account before conducting a new round of financing; everything will be done in advance.
Only someone like Wang Xin, who wants to be Lu Bu, would take such a risk and choose to walk on a tightrope on the cliff, thus burning all his money!
Cheng Zhu’s idea now is very simple. If Dianping really wants to carry out the next round of financing, then it will definitely not be difficult for him to get an admission ticket!
"As usual, come in first and take a small stake."
Therefore, the more cash he has in his hands at this stage, the better.
For this reason, Cheng Zhu has not purchased too much real estate in Hangzhou. He only bought a house for his counselor to live in, and a large flat for his parents.
The speed at which he makes money is definitely faster than the speed at which housing prices increase!
After [Moon Rabbit] was put on the shelves, it became a hot seller just as he expected.
This product can be said to have once again caused a major earthquake in the QQ toy industry.
All the friendly competitors were stunned.
"You're crazy. Why did you even put up a night light?"
“How did he achieve both beauty and functionality!”
"Wow, who would have thought that bunny ears are so cute, they can be built-in and can also be used as small clips outside."
"I bought one and asked someone to test it. It's such a weird shape, but the experience is amazing!"
"It's selling out at a price of 499. Are there really so many rich people in the QQ market?"
Cheng Zhu once again directly refreshed the three views of his competitors.
Many people began to be shocked by the spending power of QQ users.
Everyone has always thought that the consumption level of QQ users is relatively high, but no one expected it to be so high.
The unit price of 499 is much higher than most QQ toys on the market.
If you buy a set meal, the price will be more than 500 yuan, and the most luxurious set meal will cost 700 yuan.
As we all know, once the price is high, it is difficult to sell in large quantities.
But [insist on visiting] and I just started walking!
You, Cheng Zhu, are the legendary [Emperor Yu Huang]. That’s right, all the internet pornstars follow your lead and will buy all the new products as soon as possible.
But even if you have conquered countless people, isn't this sales volume a bit too large?
"Could it be that the amount of pornography on the Internet is actually beyond our imagination?"
"Are there really so many pornographic websites? That's not possible!"
This made a number of friendly competitors realize that the prospects of the QQ market might be much better than they had imagined.
The good news: the industry has a future.
Bad news: He single-handedly lifted the industry to a new level!
In fact, these people still underestimated how fast Cheng Zhu made money every time he launched a new product.
The reason is simple. The number of unmanned stores that we [persist in visiting] has exceeded one thousand.
There are more than a thousand unmanned convenience stores, and all of them sell goods from [persistent visits].
Every time a new product comes out, it will be distributed in these franchise stores.
The total purchase amount of these more than a thousand stores alone is already terrifying!
What's more, many old export customers have great trust in the products of [Persistence Visit].
As soon as a new product comes out, there will be a rush to buy it, especially in Japan and South Korea and other regions.
In the minds of many people, it is normal for the island country to import a large amount of goods, but in fact, the demand from the Korean country is also particularly large.
People in this country have one major characteristic, and that is – they don’t need to sleep!
Their nightlife is extremely rich, and there are a terrifying number of young people hanging out in nightclubs and karaoke rooms.
And Korean girls are actually very playful.
That is why the level of blue pills in the Han River water is so alarming.
A high-end residential area in Shenzhen.
After working all day, Chen Yue dragged her tired body back to her home.
After starting her own business, she no longer lived with her parents, but lived alone in a house under her own name.
Because in her concept, how can an independent strong woman live in her parents' home?
After entering the house, she turned on the lights and the air conditioner.
The house is very big, but since she lives alone, it seems a bit empty.
Today, Sister Yue was in an extremely irritable mood.
Because the internal strife among the "six major sects" formed by these new milk tea forces has escalated directly in the past two days.
At first everyone had agreed to deal with Cheng Zhu together, but now all they have left is stabbing each other in the back.
Including Chen Yue herself, as the group leader, also "betrayed" everyone.
Everyone knows that when Youcha first launched the "no price increase for the co-branded series" policy, it was considered a grand conspiracy in the industry!
But Chen Yue had no choice but to follow suit.
As for the other new forces in the milk tea industry, their size and sales volume do not allow them to engage in joint ventures without price increases, and they cannot unify the prices of joint venture products and regular products.
But Chen Yue’s Yuecha works.
She was wavering on it all July and tried it in early August. Emma, it smells so good!
As time went by, no one popped up in their group chat anymore.
Some time ago, even if someone talked, they were all speaking in a sarcastic manner to each other.
"Who cares? There's no future in cooperating with them."
"It's still more practical to copy the process." Chen Yue thought.
After taking off her RV flat shoes, she squatted on the ground and started to unpack the package.
Since starting her own business, Chen Yue has lost five kilograms, making her legs even more symmetrical and slender than before, and more beautiful.
I couldn't lose the weight no matter what I did, but because I didn't make much money, I finally lost it.
"Hmm? What's in this express package?" Chen Yue looked at a courier package and frowned slightly.
Many express parcels let you tell what’s inside, and some even have it clearly written.
But this courier is a bit confusing.
However, Sister Yue soon thought of something!
There is one thing that e-commerce companies always ship secretly, taking into account the privacy of the recipient!
When she thought of this, she felt a little better.
"Is it finally shipped? I've been waiting for several days."
After opening the package, I found that there was indeed a night light inside.
Written on the packaging box is a sentence carefully designed by Cheng Zhu: [It doesn’t matter everything, only the moon knows].
Damn, you're so damn gentle!
Sister Yue couldn't wait to turn on the [Moon Rabbit] night light, and when she held it in her hand, she felt that even a rich second-generation like her thought that this thing was full of texture!
“It seems to have the same function as a little seal, but its texture and shape are completely improved!”
For a rich girl like her, small ornaments like the little seal are novel but a bit low-brow.
The ornaments in her house are all very expensive, and many of them are costly trendy toys.
Of course, in a sense, the products of [Insist on Visiting] can also be considered a kind of trendy toys?
Well, why isn’t it considered a trendy toy?
But this [Moon Rabbit] is different, it has a strong sense of design and is very interesting.
"The most important thing is that just looking at the appearance, you can't imagine that this is a QQ toy!" Chen Yue couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, her admiration for Cheng Zhu reached a new level.
"How come there are people in this world who are always one step ahead of their peers no matter what they do?"
With this thought in mind, Chen Yue immediately picked up her phone, took a photo of the Moon Rabbit, and then sent it to Yaoyao, her best friend from her study abroad experience.
"Yaoyao, my night light has arrived, where's yours?"
"I haven't got mine yet." Yaoyao replied.
The next moment, Yaoyao began typing frantically, with several words per line.
“Speechless!”
"How do you know?"
“I didn’t say I bought it!”
"besides!"
"Cheng Zhu's stuff."
"You are not good at anything!"
"Where do you stand?"
Chen Yue didn't care at all.
"[Persistent Visit] is [Persistent Visit] and [Yuzu Tea] is [Yuzu Tea], how can they be the same?"
She's completely screwed now.
For pomelo tea, we are competitors.
For those who keep visiting, I am a loyal customer~
Chen Yue took the night light and went into the master bedroom humming a little tune.
She first placed the moon base on the bedside table and plugged it in.
Then, I took the rabbit down, took it to the bathroom, disinfected it with alcohol, and then cleaned it with the detergent in the package.
While washing, she felt the touch was wonderful.
“It feels very smooth.”
"Even without oil, it should be easy to get in."
After cleaning, Chen Yue first put it on the base to charge it, and then turned on the Bluetooth speaker to play some very sexy instrumental music and songs.
Besides that, she turned off the lights.
In the master bedroom, there is only the light of the Moon Rabbit night light.
The atmosphere is actually quite good!
After charging it for a while, Chen Yue picked up the little moon rabbit, intending to transform into a crazy woman and start a journey of human convulsions.
"Cheng Zhu, let me see how powerful your stuff is."
Before long, the bedroom was no longer filled with only the sound of music from the Bluetooth speaker.
On this side, Cheng Zhu has made a lot of money.
What he earns is real RMB.
After these girls used the Moon Rabbit he produced, they became weaker and weaker.
“I estimate that Dianping will need to conduct the next round of financing in September.”
"At the latest by the end of September, maybe even earlier!" Cheng Zhu estimated in his mind.
More importantly, he always felt that these days were very precious.
The reason is very simple. Are you hungry and Dianping have teamed up to form a group of people, and have been doing this for many days.
Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao already had some idea in their minds!
"Damn it, Cheng Zhuquan guessed it right!"
Although Mi Tuan is struggling, it can be seen from some details that it is really strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
"If Bao Fan puts pressure on Zhang Tao right away, things will be difficult to handle." Cheng Zhu is very clear about this.
Because it’s not just Bao Fan who will put pressure on us, but also Red Mountain Capital and others.
"If he had forced Zhang Tao to the negotiation table right away, and Wang Xin had played the 50-50 trump card, given Zhang Tao's personality, even if I had said and done so much before, it would probably have been in vain."
The pressure that Taozi has to withstand is just too great. He can't stand the combined pressure from all the big guys!
What's more, 50-50 is too tempting. For Dianping, this is the best internal result.
"But almost a week has passed, and our [Kill the Rice Ball] plan has also been implemented for almost a week."
"Human nature is like this. If something hasn't started yet, it may be put on hold due to some circumstances."
"But once you start doing it and the situation is going well, it will be hard to stop even if we ask you to!"
Cheng Zhu was already clear in his mind: This is a sure thing!
On the other hand, Bao Fan's mood was not very good.
He has been very busy these days, with a lot of work to do and many drinking parties to attend.
In his short free time, he often thinks about one thing.
"Why hasn't Cheng Zhu contacted me yet?"
Boss Bao had a bad feeling that kept growing in his heart.
When he was having dinner with Cheng Zhu that day, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
He still feels that way today.
After finishing today's social activities, Bao Fan, who drank a lot of wine, was not drunk at all.
On the contrary, his mind was even more active than before he drank.
He suddenly figured it out: "I know what's wrong!"
Because at that moment, he remembered Long Wei's evaluation of Cheng Zhu.
It is said that during a meeting at the headquarters of Ele.me, this young man looked very steady, was silent throughout the meeting, and did not like to show off.
At the dinner that day, Cheng Zhu gave him the same feeling.
Steady, practical, decent
Now that he thought about it carefully, he did not detect any youthful vigor and ambition in Cheng Zhu!
“This is so wrong!”
It doesn’t mean that young and promising people are all crazy.
But everyone has a more or less high-spirited feeling, but some people are more open about it, while others are more reserved.
Since Bao Fanneng is known as the king of mergers and acquisitions, he is naturally a frequent visitor in negotiations.
There are many considerations in negotiations, such as interests, will, emotions, and human hearts.
But he has publicly stated many times that the most important thing is the insight and understanding of human nature!
Bao Fan has always been very good at judging people.
When he recalled it now, he always felt that Cheng Zhu was suppressing him when they were eating and drinking together!
"This person, his true appearance is definitely not what he looked like that day!"
The reason why he just realized it today was purely because he had been a big boss for too long and had become accustomed to the way others, when seeing him, were either cautious, or obedient, or listened more and talked less.
When you meet me, be humble and keep a low profile, isn't that normal?
But thinking back now, with his insight into human nature, the more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.
He even felt that Cheng Zhu's true appearance might be completely different from what he showed at the drinking party that day!
I have to say, the boss is the boss, he is right
With this thought in mind, Bao Fan looked at the time.
"It's just a little past ten o'clock. Young people shouldn't go to bed so early, right?" he thought.
So, Bao Fan picked up his phone and prepared to call Cheng Zhu again.
The call was connected quickly.
"Hello, Mr. Bao." Cheng Zhu's voice rang out.
"Xiao Cheng, I've been working a lot these days and having a lot of social events. I just finished drinking. Hiccup! What do you think about what I told you the other day? Have you ever thought about collaborating with us in the future?"
Bao Fan first said that he had drunk a lot of wine, and then immediately got straight to the point.
Cheng Zhu readily agreed immediately: "Of course I would love to work with Mr. Bao and Huaxing Capital."
Upon hearing this, Boss Bao immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Yes, he who knows the times is a hero. It's worth it that I used the other two cards besides "Treat" on you, making a total of three cards.
"Then tell me about your cooperation needs." Bao Fan laughed heartily, and then planned to promise some benefits to his new brother.
He has a strong sense of gangsterism and is indeed a person of this kind.
He admired Cheng Zhu's abilities very much, so of course he could give him an appropriate gift!
In Huaxing Capital, he didn't allow his subordinates to call him Mr. Bao. They certainly wouldn't dare to call him Bao Fan, so they just called him Boss, and gradually people started calling him that.
Bao Fan’s principle has always been: to be the boss, you must get more money than others every year. This is Huaxing’s corporate culture!
The boss gets all the good things alone, so why would the brothers follow you?
In fact, he has always done this and is really good to the people below him.
Besides, he was actually quite curious.
What kind of demands would a young person like Cheng Zhu make of me?
It has been many years, really many years since I last dealt with such a young guy.
Now that he has reached this position, is there any young man of this age qualified to talk to him?
Cheng Zhu smiled on the phone and said, "I have always admired Mr. Bao for pioneering the [investment consulting] + [investment banking] model in China."
“As far as I know, among the new economy unicorns in China, more than half of the consulting business is handled by Huaxing.”
When Bao Fan heard this, he had a feeling something was wrong.
Because on the phone, Cheng Zhu's tone of voice began to subtly become different from that day at the drinking party.
It’s hard to explain, but it has changed!
For Cheng Zhu, time has dragged on for five days and it is a foregone conclusion. I am too lazy to pretend anymore!
You want to take me in as your younger brother, right?
I’m going to reveal my cards!
Sure enough, his next sentence made Bao Fan frown instantly!
"What I want for future cooperation is... I hope that one day my company can also hire Huaxing Capital as a consultant."
"Of course, I will show my sincerity and definitely offer a high salary!" Cheng Zhu joked with a smile.
(ps: Ask for monthly ticket!)
