Chapter 258: The opponent shows up, the Northern Expedition! Mr. Luo, let's take a photo together!
At the Yanjing Airport in the evening, the afterglow faded and the night deepened.
Chen Yansen and Song Yuncheng walked out of the exit one after the other. They saw Xiao Jun standing not far away from them and waved to them with a smile on his face.
"Boss, the car is ready for you. This is the driver Wang Teng. Let him drive you for the next two days."
Xiao Jun took the initiative to come forward and said with a smile.
Wow! Another Wang Teng! Chen Yansen smiled faintly, pointed at Song Yuncheng who was standing beside him and introduced him: "Director of Pinbei's VIP Customer Recruitment Department, Song Yuncheng."
"Mr. Song, I've long heard of your name." Xiao Jun greeted politely.
He wasn't being polite when he said this, but Song Yuncheng was indeed very famous in the circle.
As the No. 1 employee of FoxTao, he later followed Chen Yansen to Pinbei Mall.
The first e-commerce automobile marketing case on the entire network was written by Song Yuncheng. In addition, the other party holds half of Pinbei's S and A-level brand resources. His position in the industry is not inferior to that of the president of the purchasing and sales department of Yidong, or the head of the business unit of Yaomao Mall.
"Mr. Xiao, nice to meet you!" Song Yuncheng responded politely.
Perhaps it is because he has followed Chen Yansen and met too many industry leaders, so now no matter who Song Yuncheng meets, he always looks neither humble nor arrogant, but calm and confident.
This girl seemed like a completely different person from the girl who lowered her head and went to Xuyuan to beg Chen Yansen for the phone card agency rights two years ago.
"Let's go."
Chen Yansen said lightly.
The group arrived at the parking lot. The driver Wang Teng jogged a few steps, got into a Maybach, and then drove the car in front of Chen Yansen.
"Boss, I'll go back to the company first. See you tomorrow." Xiao Jun said.
"Well, I will go to AutoNavi headquarters tomorrow morning." Chen Yansen nodded slightly, and then he sat in the back seat of the Maybach.
Song Yuncheng sat on the right.
Xiao Jun's pupils shrank slightly, and he understood something in an instant. He watched his boss' car go away before he got into a Mercedes-Benz E300 and drove towards No. 18 Changsheng Road.
The street scenes outside the window kept passing by, and Chen Yansen glanced at the midsummer of Yanjing in 2012.
At this time, a taxi with the words "Didi Taxi" on it appeared from the rear left.
Didi Taxi?
Chen Yansen is not sure whether this Didi Dache is the same product as the Didi Dache in the previous life.
After all, the current Internet situation has been completely changed by him.
Thinking of this, he took out his cell phone and called Gao Weilin: "Old Gao, help me check if there is an online taxi-hailing app called Didi Taxi in Yanjing. Yes, send it to me as soon as possible."
“Didi Taxi? I didn’t expect that a competitor to Kuaidi Taxi would appear so soon in the northern market.”
After Chen Yansen hung up the phone, Song Yuncheng frowned slightly and sighed subconsciously.
"In fact, Yanjing already has a taxi-hailing app called Yaoyao Taxi. Cheng Weixing discovered it last year when he was researching the northern market, but the company's business was mainly car rentals, so he didn't pay much attention to it at the time."
"After the Chinese New Year, I guess they saw the business model of Kuaidi Taxi and switched from car rental to taxi business. But what surprised me was that in addition to Yaoyao Taxi, there is now Didi Taxi."
Chen Yansen explained slowly.
He knew very well that no matter how segmented the business track was, it would be impossible for one company or one product to monopolize it.
"Kuaidi Taxi must enter the Yanjing market as soon as possible, otherwise once they have divided up all the market, it will be much more difficult to take it back," Song Yuncheng said softly.
"There's no point in being anxious. Let's wait until Lao Gao finds out the details."
Chen Yansen said indifferently.
The more intense the competition, the bigger the online car-hailing market will be! Kuaidi Taxi alone has to expand its territory city by city, not only to cultivate the market and users, but also to face pressure from transportation associations.
With more competitors, Kuaidi Taxi will have to be pushed to speed up its expansion.
Half an hour later, the driver parked the car in front of the Delta Hotel.
It’s only a ten-minute drive from here to the venue for Xiaomi’s new product launch.
Chen Yansen and Song Yuncheng completed the check-in procedures and took the elevator to an executive suite on the top floor.
"I'm going to take a shower, you think about what to eat tonight."
Chen Yansen took off his shirt, revealing his well-defined muscles, and said to Song Yuncheng. When he walked to the bathroom door, he turned around and asked, "Do you want to take a shower together?"
Even though he had seen it countless times, Song Yuncheng still couldn't help swallowing, thinking to himself: Master has a great figure.
"I'll go make a reservation at the restaurant." Song Yuncheng replied with a smile.
Chen Yansen said nothing and walked into the bathroom.
When he finished washing and came out wrapped in a bath towel, he just received a call from Gao Weilin.
"Boss, I checked. Xiaoju Technology registered its company in February and launched its product at the end of April. Its business scope is mainly concentrated in the terminal of Yanjing Airport. The number of registered drivers is less than 300, and the number of registered users is less than 10,000. It has only received an angel investment from Capital Today. The specific amount is uncertain, but judging from the promotion efforts of Didi Dache, it is only 3 million at most."
Gao Weilin spoke slowly.
"Give Cheng Weixing a heads-up and ask him to send a group of people to Yanjing."
Chen Yansen ordered.
"Okay, boss, I understand." Gao Weilin replied.
"Thank you for your hard work. Get off work early."
After Chen Yansen finished speaking, he hung up the phone and changed into casual clothes.
"What do you want to eat?" After Chen Yansen was dressed, he looked at Song Yuncheng and asked.
"Cantonese cuisine. I saw that the reviews on Dianping are pretty good." Song Yuncheng handed over the phone.
Chen Yansen took a quick look and saw that this was a Cantonese restaurant located in Yitipark. It was very close and the prices were not expensive. He nodded without objection.
While waiting for Song Yuncheng to take a shower, Chen Yansen called Zhang Chaoyang's mobile phone number: "Lao Zhang, I'm in Yanjing, please treat me to a meal."
"Don't call me Lao Zhang. I've already told you that the doorman at Sohu is Lao Zhang. Last time I asked you to go cross the Weihai Strait, but you didn't go. And you still want me to treat you to a meal? No way!"
Zhang Chaoyang refused outright and said unhappily.
"I brought you two bottles of good wine," Chen Yansen added.
"Okay, let me arrange it." After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Chaoyang readily agreed.
Chen Yansen smiled and put down his phone.
He is grateful to Lao Zhang. If it weren't for him stepping in, the copyright issue of Toutiao would not have been resolved so smoothly.
Zhang Chaoyang’s title as the first-generation Internet godfather is not given for nothing. He has a good relationship with the heads of NetEase and Sina.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Yansen and Song Yuncheng went to the Cantonese restaurant and ate dinner leisurely.
It was not until 8:30 that Zhang Chaoyang sent an address.
"Do you want to go to the bar?" Chen Yansen asked.
"I haven't been there." Song Yuncheng pursed his lips and did not give a direct answer.
"Then I'll take you there tonight." Chen Yansen put down his chopsticks and said.
The two left INDIGO and took a car to the bar where Zhang Chaoyang was.
It’s hard to imagine that the chairman of Sohu’s daily routine consists of singing, mountain climbing, swimming and drinking.
When he arrived, he just pushed open the door of the box and saw a row of beautiful girls.
Zhang Chaoyang was about to say hello, but when he saw Song Yuncheng, the smile on his face stopped abruptly, and he thought: Oh no.
Song Yuncheng was slightly stunned. She didn't expect this scene.
Lao Zhang, you weren't like this before? Chen Yansen glanced over.
We were not familiar with each other at that time, Zhang Chaoyang replied with his eyes.
"Mr. Zhang, how about we move to a quieter place?" Chen Yansen suggested.
"Okay, actually I don't know these girls and I went to the wrong box. Do you believe it?" Zhang Chaoyang laughed dryly and said shamelessly.
"I believe it. This is Song Yuncheng, Pinbei's director of key customer investment, and also my..." Chen Yansen introduced.
"I understand, I understand." Zhang Chaoyang turned around, threw down two stacks of bills, and followed Chen Yansen out of the box.
The three of them chose a quiet place on the second floor, where they could see the stage on the first floor but not be too noisy.
Zhang Chaoyang took the two bottles of wine handed over by Chen Yansen, his eyes lit up, and he said with satisfaction: "You put in a lot of effort."
Although he told the public that he didn't drink, that was just to fool the media.
In the past two years, Zhang Chaoyang's career has not been going well. After several setbacks, he finally accepted his fate and laid down.
Go to work!
Sleeping in the company during the day and getting drunk in the bar at night became Mr. Zhang's daily routine.
"Ding Lei called me last night and said that NetEase also wants to make mobile phones. What do you think?" Zhang Chaoyang picked up his wine glass, clinked it with Chen Yansen's glass, and asked with a smile.
"Very good, the probability of success is no less than 50%." Chen Yansen grinned.
"Did 360 really sell 400,000 phones?" Zhang Chaoyang rolled his eyes and asked.
"To be precise, the total sales volume in one week is 430,000 units." Chen Yansen took a sip of wine, savored it carefully for a few seconds, and told the truth.
"It's outrageous." Zhang Chaoyang raised the corner of his mouth, looking speechless.
"The threshold of the mobile phone industry is so high that people who understand it can easily jump over it. However, Zhou Hongyi's method is more clever. He gave up the profit of hardware, saving the process of system research and development, hardware design and supply chain establishment. If Sohu wants to make mobile phones, I can provide you with technical support."
Chen Yansen said lightly.
A year later, Motorola even proposed the idea of a modular mobile phone.
Simply put, it means producing mobile phone processors, cameras, memory, communications, wireless, batteries and other components separately, and then assembling them together using a unified interface.
If users feel the screen is too small, they can simply replace it with a bigger one; if users feel the battery capacity is too small, they can also replace it with a bigger one; all modules are like puzzles or building blocks.
Users only need to purchase mobile phone modules as needed and then assemble them at home.
Many companies, including Xiaomi, have thought about developing modular mobile phones.
Although this type of product has not been favored by the market and users, it can be seen from this that making a mobile phone is really not difficult, and it is no different from building blocks.
The difficulty lies in how to achieve the highest sales volume in the country, or even the world.
"Forget it, I'm not interested, let's drink." Zhang Chaoyang waved his hand, looking uninterested.
Chen Yansen raised his glass in response, thinking to himself: It seems that Zhou Hongyi's success has indeed given many people courage.
The two chatted until half past ten, and Chen Yansen got up to say goodbye.
After Zhang Chaoyang sent the two to the car, he turned around and went back to the second floor to continue having fun.
The next morning, Chen Yansen went to AutoNavi as planned and communicated with the heads of various departments one by one. They chatted until noon, and then he had lunch with Xiao Jun and others in a nearby restaurant.
He then left AutoNavi headquarters and took a car to 798 Art Center.
When he arrived, it was exactly one forty, so he was not late.
After Chen Yansen got off the car, he and Song Yuncheng walked towards the conference hall where the press conference was held. As soon as they reached the door, they saw a Xiaomi staff member saying to a fat black man, "Mr. Luo, let's take a photo together. Yes, if it's convenient, you can help hold this promotional sign."
Luo Yonghao didn't think much about it. He took the sign, smiled at the camera, and took a photo that made him regret for many years.
Huh? Chen Yansen from Orange Technology?
Luo Yonghao quickly put down the promotional sign, trotted over, and took the initiative to introduce himself: "Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Luo Yonghao from Smartisan Technology. Can I take two minutes of your time?"
Chen Yansen was walking when he saw a fat black man rushing towards him from a distance. He had messy hair, wore a pair of black-framed glasses, and was panting.
Who? Luo Yonghao? Chen Yansen frowned slightly and looked him up and down.
