Chapter 584: Sensation in All Circles
This interviewer from the mainstream media was so excited that he almost trembled.
What did I hear?
This is so exciting! This content is so exciting!
From her perspective, this was a business interview.
The significance of this interview is that Zhang Xuhao is now the most eye-catching new star in the business world.
The takeout industry is on the rise, and Ele.me’s current market share is no lower than that of Miduan Takeout.
He has the support of giants such as Penguin and Redmount, and now he has even acquired Baidu Takeout!
You should know that among the three giants of BAT, only Baidu is personally involved in food delivery, while the other two giants are only indirect.
As a result, the one who was killed directly was the one who was left the coldest.
This will make this business interview a bit of a gimmick, after all, it involves the battle between the Big Three!
In addition, Bao Fan is currently a very prominent figure in the capital circle.
This is also one of the focuses of her interview.
From the interviewer's perspective, it would be a great success if he could dig deeper into the content and come up with something eye-catching.
But what did I just hear from this little fat guy?
"He means that there is a master behind him directing him?"
"Are you hungry? The fact that you have been so successful recently is all thanks to him, right?"
From what he said, we can indirectly hear that he is obviously more grateful to this person than to Bao Fan!
In other words, in Mr. Zhang's mind, the fact that Hungry Meetup was able to take over Baidu this time is a contribution that far surpasses Bao Fan!
Who exactly is this person?
What’s even more outrageous is that he actually said that this person also has to take care of his university studies?
"Which big guy suddenly has the dream of studying? He didn't receive much higher education in his early years, and now he wants to study in his middle age?"
However, as a professional interviewer, she must have done her homework before meeting Zhang Xuhao.
She knew very well that among the shareholders of Hungry?, there was a very special person!
This person is clearly a businessman, and his main business is selling milk tea. However, he inexplicably bought shares in the platform after becoming the exclusive owner!
What's even more outrageous is that this person is a college student!
Although the interviewer also found it incredible and thought it couldn't be him, he still asked.
After all, this young man is very popular himself, and if you deliberately mention him in an interview, you can make a big fuss about it.
"As far as I know, the team of [Are You Elephant] is generally very young. Among the shareholders there is an entrepreneur named Cheng Zhu who is still in college." She began to take advantage of Zhu Ge's popularity.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuhao nodded slightly after hearing this.
"Yes, it's Cheng Zhu."
Damn it! As soon as she said this, she clenched the recorder in her hand tightly again!
She was really excited this time!
Is it really Cheng Zhu?
Is it true that a college student who is not even 20 years old was guiding Zhang Xuhao behind the scenes and facilitated the acquisition of Baidu Takeout by Ele.me?
This is simply a fucking fantasy!
If this interview were released, it would definitely cause a huge sensation at all levels of society!
Ordinary people will find this legendary, and it will cause a huge earthquake in the business world!
Zhang Xuhao looked at the interviewer's expression and felt very satisfied. This was the effect he wanted.
At this moment, Haozi was even making fun of it and continued to stir up the heat.
"Remember what I said, don't disturb his studies too much. Sometimes when he's in class, he won't answer my calls when I have something to do."
Cheng Zhu: "Damn it, little fatty, you are killing me!"
At the beginning, Zhang Xuhao said that he didn't praise him on the phone because he really didn't take it seriously.
No matter how good Cheng Zhu was at foresight, he could never have imagined that he would do these things during the interview.
He doesn't mind stepping out from behind the scenes.
To be precise, he was very clear that some things had actually spread in a small circle in the business circle.
Because the senior executives of Ele.me, Dianping, Miduan, and Huaxing all know some inside information, and they all know that he is now the military advisor of Zhang Xuhao and Zhang Tao.
Once there are more people, the word will spread.
Cheng Zhu mainly felt that: "He wasn't pretending to be smooth enough!"
Oh, just the sixth level of [Power of Pretending], you still have a lot to learn!
But the actual situation is. Even so, the content of the interview still went viral!
And it’s been a huge hit on all major platforms!
The fact that Ele.me has acquired Baidu Takeout is big news in itself.
Now it’s great, the gimmick is at its maximum.
Netizens were stunned when reading this interview.
"No, why is it Cheng Zhu again?"
"It's terrible. He's only a sophomore. He can still pretend to be a college student for several more years."
"Are you crazy? There are people at this age who can affect the development of such a big company?"
"Damn, if it wasn't reported by the mainstream media, I would even feel like I was reading street literature."
"Is this really not an idol drama plot?"
What’s even funnier is that the stupid netizens are indeed stupid enough, and their material library is very complete.
Someone also dug up a photo of Cheng Zhu visiting the set of "Nirvana in Fire" and taking a photo with Mei Changsu, played by Hu Ge.
The captions on the pictures are also varied.
"You're the only one who's a genius?"
"Who the hell isn't a behind-the-scenes strategist?"
"I'm dying of laughter. The last time it was trending, the term was [Not inferior to Hu Ge]. This time, I'm afraid he won't be inferior to Mei Changsu."
For ordinary netizens, they don’t know how to influence the direction of such a large company.
No one knows what role Cheng Zhu played in this process.
However, this does not affect everyone's opinion of this guy being awesome!
The funniest thing is that what Zhang Xuhao said is really quite funny.
Especially the part about him not answering my calls when he was in class.
"We college students definitely can't answer the phone during class. Isn't that bullshit?"
“Teacher: Whose phone keeps ringing!
Cheng Zhu: Oh my god, I've already talked about several hundred million dollars, don't bother me! "
"Fight, fight, fight, I'll fight, I said we're in class!"
"Can't you wait until I'm done with get out of class to talk about anything?"
"Cheng Zhu silently shut down the phone. I love learning!"
"The teacher may not even know what the students have rejected for his class."
Because the gimmick was so great, the popularity of the comment section on platforms like Weibo went through the roof, and the number of comments soon exceeded 30,000, and is still soaring.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of business interview would not have such a high popularity index.
This caused terms such as "Cheng Zhu", "Are you hungry?", and "Don't disturb him while he's studying" to top the Weibo hot search list.
This left Weibo officials speechless.
You know, Weibo is also developing short videos, and it is currently doing very well and has a good momentum.
Weibo: Why is this competitor doing something weird again?
Damn it, why is it that a competitor always dominates our hot search list! ?
Just like that, the man who stirred up the storm behind the scenes walked to the front stage in a dignified manner.
A high-end residential area in Shenzhen.
Chen Yue, the founder of Yuecha, silently put down the phone in his hand and let out a long sigh.
She just read the entire interview with Zhang Xuhao, and then searched for everything related to Cheng Zhu.
At this point, this friendly competitor in the milk tea industry completely understood: why we can only stay in the platform, but he can invest in the platform!
"They also asked Cheng Zhu why, ha, it's really funny!" Sister Yue said in her heart.
When the news of Cheng Zhu's participation in the financing of "Are You Hungry" came out, all the major competitors in the milk tea industry were confused. Many of them couldn't help but feel envious and jealous, and cursed him a lot.
Chen Yue, who used to dance the most happily, remained silent because she was scolded too many times by Cheng Zhujiekong.
After being abused too many times, she had already developed an all-round and somewhat "abnormal" admiration for Cheng Zhu.
Yes, she adored him!
But even so, Chen Yue still had some doubts in her heart.
It is not purely anti-Tian Gang for merchants to invest in the platform.
What is the purpose of this "Are you hungry?"
This goes against basic business logic.
Now, she understood.
"It turns out that Cheng Zhu's value lies in places we can't see!"
"Even Zhang Xuhao listens to him?" Chen Yue felt terrible just thinking about it.
Just imagine, she is also a milk tea merchant, and currently has an exclusive presence on MiTuan.
If Wang Xin listened to her, she would feel so happy just thinking about it that she wanted to tremble!
"The most important thing is that he actually helped [Are You Hungry] to turn its declining fortunes around."
"Not only did they start to counterattack MiTuan, they also acquired Baidu Waimai"
"This pomelo tea must have a special status in Are You Hungry?!"
Chen Yue felt mixed emotions again, and felt how desperate Dang Cheng Zhu's competitor was.
But she changed her mind and suddenly felt: "Even Wang Xin is no match for him, Baidu Waimai is going to be acquired, so it doesn't seem shameful for me to lose to him and be pinned to the ground by him all the time!"
Chen Yue suddenly felt that the past that she once regarded as her dark history was not so difficult to accept.
This crazy woman even thinks: As long as more and more big names are included in the [Collection of Failures], my value will steadily increase!
When she thought of this, she suddenly wanted to laugh.
Then, I actually laughed out loud.
No, no, the more I think about it, the happier I feel. The more I think about it, the more I feel like it’s all over!
Sister Yue: The boat has passed through thousands of mountains!
When good things happen to you, you feel refreshed. [Keep visiting] and start!
You have to give yourself a good rest before going to bed and apply foundation twice.
At this moment, she began to read the comments of netizens.
Some people also discussed in the comment section: "Before, Wang Xin and Gong Zhenbin probably never dreamed that Zhang Xuhao's biggest confidence was actually a college student."
"Hahaha, I don't know whether Wang Xin's head hurts more now or Gong Zhenbin's head hurts more."
Chen Yue looked at this comment:
"Not as funny as me."
Magic City, Tianyun Capital.
Shang Qi and Wen Ting were so angry when they saw these contents!
As people in the investment circle, they can feel the impact of this incident more intuitively!
Especially people like Shang Qi who had participated in the drinking parties organized by Wang Xin.
From the timeline he could sort out, at the beginning, it was clearly Boss Bao and Wang Xin who joined forces, the two of them working together!
But in this situation, Are You Hungry can still turn the tide.
Soon after, word spread in the circle that Cheng Zhu was ungrateful. Even when a top boss like Boss Bao extended an olive branch to him, he rejected it at the speed of light and even threatened to become the client of Huaxing Capital.
But what is the result?
It seems that he even facilitated the cooperation between Huaxing and Ele.me!
This is unbelievable. It is simply unbelievable for people in the investment circle!
Many people’s first reaction is even: Does Boss Bao have any leverage over him?
Bao Fan, this is Bao Fan!
He has a lot of gangster spirit and is a very temperamental guy!
As for Shang Qi, besides being extremely angry, he also felt a little numb on his scalp.
He couldn't think of any reason, and ultimately could only attribute it to the mysterious big man behind Cheng Zhu.
Apart from this incredibly strong background, he couldn't think of any other reason.
"This kid is so arrogant, but even Bao Fan has to be wary of him?" Shang Qi clenched his left fist so hard that his nails were about to dig into his flesh.
Although [PaPaPa] is just one of the many projects he is responsible for.
However, the investment amount of this project is quite large, and it is the recent key project of Tianyun Capital!
Recently, through the various connections he and Zhao Qing made, [PaiPai] has been able to see a glimmer of hope for release.
They are well aware that a product with a market value of billions is unlikely to be permanently removed from the shelves, especially in this situation where there is no clear statement.
This is not conducive to the healthy development of the market.
The key lies in how long the product will be taken off the shelves and whether this time is long or short.
In fact, they are right.
Chen Jianwen's father, Lao Chen, was truly grateful to them.
If it weren't for this incident, he really wouldn't have had the chance to get in touch with this person.
But since Lao Chen has sat in such a position, he is naturally a shrewd person.
He knew very well that at first the other party just asked him to do a small favor, which was to resolve the retrial of [Youqu] at the speed of light.
They just took [PaiPai] off the shelves themselves. To put it nicely, it is icing on the cake. To put it bluntly, it is licking and currying favor.
This kind of thing should not be done too much.
Because you didn't communicate in advance and didn't ask the other party's opinion.
You can do something on your own initiative.
But you can't do too much!
Otherwise, it may not be pleasing and may even be disliked.
What's more, the other party's identity is special after all.
There is still a difference between a son-in-law and a biological son.
When dealing with people, we must be more cautious and have more concerns.
Therefore, Lao Chen will not permanently remove [PaiPai] from the shelves.
He will find the right balance himself.
People like them are good at these things.
Therefore, Shang Qi and Zhao Qing thought that they had finally gotten the relationship right, but in fact, the other party was just trying to find the right measure.
And human nature is sometimes ridiculous.
It was clearly them who were doing the tricks behind the scenes first, but now I am thinking: "If we have the guts, why don't we just show the truth on the APP!"
"Compete head-on in the market!"
With the user base of our [PaiPai] before it was rectified, we will definitely beat you so badly that even your mother won’t recognize you!
As Cheng Zhu once again became popular on the entire Internet and made headlines in major news media, Chen Xingwen, the president of the University of Science and Technology, felt that he had straightened his back again.
There is no way, there is really no way!
When we were recruiting students, we never thought that we would have such a monster in this class!
It is true that every slightly better university will always have some influential figures.
Anyone who has received serious education knows that everyone has a few awesome alumni!
But the problem is, those who can be so busy while in school are really a minority among the minority!
How to put it, if it’s an alumnus who graduated many years ago, some mean netizens might even say that you’re taking advantage of him.
You've graduated, but you didn't directly thank the school. What does this have to do with your university?
But it’s different for students in school.
In any report, the words "sophomore student from the University of Science and Technology" cannot be avoided!
After all, this identity is the biggest gimmick and will definitely be mentioned repeatedly.
Chen Xingwen: Has your Zhejiang University made news headlines as many times as ours recently?
Of course not!
What's more, didn't you see what this interview said?
Cheng Zhu refused the call because he was in class.
——Ah, as a principal, I am very touched!
And what are the nature of the media?
Zhang Xuhao clearly said in the interview that he hoped everyone would not disturb Cheng Zhu, but such words did not have any effect.
Media: So what?
Just disturbing! Just disturbing!
At worst, we can just do the same as you, Zhang Xuhao, and wait for him to finish class.
We won't take up Cheng Zhu's study time.
The most outrageous thing is that Cheng Zhu is actually a little speechless about Zhang Xuhao.
"Damn it, I've been taking a lot of leave lately and haven't been attending classes much at all."
It was as simple as a sentence for him to ask for leave. He sent a WeChat message to his counselor: "Baby, please ask for leave for me today."
He really has no time to go to classes at the Polytechnic University recently, but he occasionally misses the faculty and staff dormitories on campus.
In the counselor's dormitory, he could find something different.
In fact, there was one time when Cheng Zhu did not answer Zhang Xuhao's call because he was in class.
But only once.
"Now it's good, people all over the country know that I love reading!"
"Fuck, the media has blocked the school. I have to show up at the school once to prove my identity!"
"Little Fatty, you're always doing these stupid things!" Cheng Zhu gritted his teeth.
From his point of view, since he has already gone to school, he might as well accept some interviews.
By the way, add some heat to yourself and the three companies.
This isn't a bad thing, except that it's a bit troublesome.
Today, Cheng Zhu has rich experience in being interviewed. He has been interviewed several times since his identity as the QQ tycoon was exposed.
When asked, "What will be the next move after Ele.me acquires Baidu Waimai?", he said calmly:
"I'm just a small shareholder of Hungry? I don't have the final say."
He clearly said that he had no say, but somehow people felt like he was the boss behind the scenes!
Zhang Xuhao said it all, he somewhat regarded Cheng Zhu as his military advisor.
My goodness, if the military advisor doesn’t have any say, then what does he have?
You're being too low-key, Mr. Cheng. Being overly low-key is a bit too pretentious!
The interviewer continued to stir up trouble: "Mr. Cheng, as the founder of Youcha, when you first participated in the financing of platforms such as Ele.me and Dianping, there was a lot of criticism from the outside world, and there were also some rumors. What do you think about this?"
Cheng Zhu said first: "Call me Cheng in school."
Keep calling Mr. Cheng, it’s not over yet, what kind of nonsense!
Is this the place to shout at the boss? This is the place to study!
Call me classmate!
After saying this, he said, "Criticisms, rumors? I haven't heard of them myself."
This sentence made the interviewer lose interest and felt that there was nothing to be done.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhu's next sentence shocked her instantly!
Cheng Zhu: "You can question me even louder in the future. I can't hear you."
(ps: Please give me a monthly ticket! I’m currently ninth on the monthly ticket list, and I can definitely get more!)
