Chapter 59: Negotiation Collapse! First Meeting with Xiao Ma (3.2K, please read more)
In front of a mid-range women's clothing store in Nanshan Science and Technology Park Cultural Plaza.
"Why don't you throw away your old clothes? Do you want to take them to the Penguin headquarters?" Chen Yansen glanced at Song Yuncheng and urged with a smile.
Clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha. This saying is absolutely true! Song Yuncheng, who changed her clothes, lost her immaturity. She wore a white collarless short suit, and her long black and soft hair was tied up high. She looked neat and tidy. She was completely different from half an hour ago. Now she looked more like a professional.
"These clothes are not torn and can still be worn." Song Yuncheng clutched the handbag, his face full of heartache.
Chen Yansen was speechless, cursing Song Yuncheng in his heart as "stingy". He ignored Song Yuncheng and walked straight to the roadside to hail a taxi.
This mall was not far from the Penguin headquarters. The two got in the car and arrived at their destination in a few minutes.
Looking at the Penguin headquarters building in front of her, Song Yuncheng was conflicted. She understood that carrying this bag of old clothes would have a negative impact on the upcoming meeting.
Just when she was about to throw away the clothes, Chen Yansen suddenly said, "Master, take this bag to the lobby of Venice Hotel and tell the front desk that it was left there by a guest from 8688."
As he said this, he took out 50 yuan and handed it to the driver as a reward.
"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely help you." The driver took the money and assured with a smile.
After getting off the car, Song Yuncheng followed Chen Yansen silently. She actually wanted to say, "Those clothes may not even be worth 50 yuan."
"Chen Yansen, thank you." Song Yuncheng looked straight at his back and whispered softly.
Standing at the door, Chen Yansen called the other party and waited for more than ten minutes before he saw a young man of middle build walking slowly towards him.
"Hello, Mr. Chen. I am Liang Youzhi, the channel operations manager of PaiPai.com. Welcome to Shenzhen."
Liang Youzhi first introduced himself, then extended his hand to Chen Yansen with a warm attitude.
"Hello, Manager Liang. However, isn't it someone from your company's compliance department who asked me to come here?"
Chen Yansen was slightly startled, his mind working rapidly, and he had a vague guess in his mind, but he did not point it out.
"It was arranged by the Compliance Department, but the one who really wanted to see you was my boss, Zheng Chunbin."
Liang Youzhi said truthfully, then took out two visitor registration cards and motioned Chen Yansen and Song Yuncheng to follow him.
"Oh my god, are you attracted to my project or me?"
Chen Yansen felt a little unhappy, but he followed anyway.
At that time, Penguin, relying on QQ, which had over 100 million people online at the same time, was unscrupulously preying on the Internet's fish pond. If it took a fancy to a company, it would either acquire it or copy it.
Most of the other parties will look down upon a business model like FoxTao that has a very low upper limit. The only eye-catching thing is probably the amazing fission speed brought about by the 0-yuan price cut, which arouses the other party's interest.
The three of them walked along and took the elevator to the project building of PaiPai.com. With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened and a spacious office area appeared in front of them.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. He is still in a meeting and will come over in a moment."
Liang Youzhi led the two into the conference room, brought two bottles of water, and said politely.
Chen Yansen said "hmm", and after the other party left, he unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and drank it in small sips.
"We were supposed to meet with someone from the compliance department, but now it's someone from PaiPai.com. Can our problem still be solved?"
Song Yuncheng asked in a low voice.
"Never mind! Let's take it one step at a time. I think he's probably into me."
Chen Yansen touched his chin and said with certainty.
In his previous life, he had never dealt with Zheng Chunbin, but he had heard of his resume.
Zheng Chunbin is a top student from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. He joined Penguin in 2003 and became a director in just three years. As for his current position, Chen Yansen does not know it, but he is probably at least the product manager of PaiPai.com.
"You are so shameless." Song Yuncheng muttered.
Chen Yansen smiled and said nothing. He just leaned back in his chair and played with his phone to kill time.
Who knows how long the other party’s meeting will take?
He wasn't going to sit there and stare at the ceiling.
The other side.
Liang Youzhi returned to the office and reported to Zheng Chunbin about his meeting with Chen Yansen.
"Azhi, what do you think of this guy?" Zheng Chunbin leaned back in the boss chair and asked with squinted eyes.
"Mature and steady, not like a freshman." Liang Youzhi gave a brief evaluation.
"Is there anything else?" Zheng Chunbin asked without comment.
"He seems to have guessed what you are thinking." Liang Youzhi said firmly after thinking for a moment.
"Oh? Then I really have to meet him. I admire smart people, especially young smart people." Zheng Chunbin became interested and sat up straight.
He originally wanted to leave Chen Yansen alone to dampen his enthusiasm so as to negotiate terms, but according to Liang Youzhi, this tactic might not work.
"Boom boom boom—"
Zheng Chunbin and Liang Youzhi walked into the meeting room one after another.
Although Chen Yansen reacted quickly, Zheng Chunbin still caught a glimpse of his mobile phone interface and found that the boy was actually playing games.
"Mr. Chen, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zheng Chunbin, the vice president of PaiPai.com." Liang Youzhi said with a smile after standing still.
"Mr. Zheng, I've long heard of your name." Chen Yansen slowly stood up and shook the other person's hand.
Zheng Chunbin looks to be only in his early thirties. He wears a pair of rimless glasses, is gentle and has a warm smile.
"I haven't made any outstanding achievements at Penguin, so Mr. Chen's words of admiration for me make me feel a little ashamed."
Zheng Chunbin responded with a chuckle, with a hint of meaning hidden in his words.
"He who is good at fighting does not have to have great achievements. The fact that Mr. Zheng is in charge of PaiPai.com's business is enough to show that you are highly valued by Penguin's management. Moreover, seven years ago, you were the product manager of QQ Pets. Who among us born in the 1990s has not used this product?"
Chen Yansen was not at all flustered and greeted people calmly and leisurely.
Zheng Chunbin was stunned after hearing this and looked at Liang Youzhi. Liang Youzhi shook his head slightly, indicating that it was not the information he revealed.
Interesting! Zheng Chunbin invited Chen Yansen to sit down and talk. Maybe it was because of the busy business and tight time, or maybe it was just his personality. As soon as he sat down, he got straight to the point: "Mr. Chen, are you interested in joining Paipai.com?"
"What does Mr. Zheng mean?" Chen Yansen asked tentatively.
"I can give you a 3-1 level salary. You will be responsible for the product planning and implementation of PaiPai.com in the future, with an annual salary starting at 500,000 yuan."
Zheng Chunbin was full of confidence. In an era when the average monthly salary was 3,000 yuan, the conditions he offered were enough to make a lot of money, not to mention a freshman from a second-tier university, even a graduate from Peking University or Tsinghua University.
In his opinion, FoxTao has no value. The most valuable thing is Chen Yansen. With hundreds of thousands of dollars of funds, he was able to expand the number of users to millions in just two months. Chen Yansen is a talent.
"Thank you, Mr. Zheng, for your appreciation. But I am a lazy person. I don't want to work for others, nor do I want to be inferior to others."
Chen Yansen suppressed his smile and replied seriously.
Zheng Chunbin was stunned. He did not expect Chen Yansen to refuse. He quickly added: "As long as you work hard, I guarantee that you will be promoted to 3-2 within three years. You will also have the opportunity to be promoted to 4-1 in the future. The annual salary will be at least 2 million."
"Mr. Zheng, I just don't like working." Chen Yansen was unmoved and said with a light smile.
As for Zheng Chunbin's statement that the team will be promoted to 3-2 in three years and 4-1 in the future, he did not believe a single punctuation mark. Zheng Chunbin is not Lao Ma, so how could he have the confidence to make such a promise? It was nothing more than that he wanted to fool him because he was young.
The fact that he is a freshman and has a high school education is enough to make it difficult for the Penguins to get into the team. Even if he is hired as an exception, he will at most be given a T-2 title. To put it bluntly, he will still be a private.
Not to mention Zheng Chunbin, he would have rejected Shen Chengma as well.
What level? You still want to be my boss?
After being rejected twice, Zheng Chunbin said nothing on the surface, but he was furious inside. However, if he got angry and left on the spot, he felt it would be a loss of style, so he said coldly: "Then I wish Mr. Chen's Fox Tao can one day be among the top 100 shopping websites."
Chen Yansen laughed when he heard it, thinking to himself, you bastard, you turned against me as soon as I failed to recruit you, you deserve it for making Paipai.com a half-dead business, you look so miserable, you won’t last many years at Penguin.
"It's really not easy to get into the top 100. It's impossible to do it in three to five months. President Zheng, you have to work harder. If you don't work harder, I'm afraid Paipai.com's market share this year won't even be in the top ten."
Chen Yansen couldn't stand any grievance, so he just went straight in the face and attacked.
In fact, two years ago, PaiPai.com still had a 7.2% market share, but this year Vancl's market share has soared and is about to surpass PaiPai.com.
Lies often do not hurt people, but the truth goes straight to the heart! Zheng Chunbin did not expect that the young man opposite him was like a powder keg, igniting at a touch. Didn't he know his position in Penguin? He suppressed his anger and waved his hand at Liang Youzhi: "Azhi, send him out."
After saying that, he stopped pretending and turned around and walked out of the meeting room.
After just two or three sentences, the two men's conversation broke down. Liang Youzhi had not expected this situation. He laughed dryly and kindly advised: "Mr. Chen, you can be more tactful. Why do you have to be like this?"
"Manager Liang, I have a good suggestion for you. Leave your job as soon as possible. If you want to do e-commerce, go to Ali or Yidong. Paipai.com is doomed to fail in Zheng Chunbin's hands! In less than two years, Pony will most likely give up the idea of doing e-commerce."
Chen Yansen stood up nonchalantly, straightened his collar, and prepared to leave.
Just then, Ma Wenteng, who was inspecting work at Paipai.com, passed by the door of the conference room.
Zheng Chunbin left in a hurry, leaving the door wide open. He heard the words "PaiPai.com is a dead end" clearly. He stopped, stood at the door of the meeting room, frowned and asked, "Who is this?"
In his own headquarters, in his own territory, someone actually cursed his own project. Ma Wenteng was extremely angry.
The group's e-commerce business has not made much progress. Not to mention becoming bigger and stronger, even PaiPai.com's original market share is almost gone.
Liu Zhiping advised him to give up and shift his strategy to investing in e-commerce platforms in order to obtain huge profits from the development of e-commerce, but he never agreed.
Firstly, he was unwilling to admit defeat, and secondly, he just didn’t believe in evil. He even survived the Internet winter in 2008, so how could he not succeed in a small e-commerce project?
When Liang Youzhi saw the person coming and Liu Zhiping beside him, he quickly greeted them, "Brother Xiao Ma, Mr. Liu, this is Chen Yansen, the founder of Fox Tao."
"Brother Pony, if you think what I said is wrong, we can sit down and talk slowly."
Chen Yansen grinned, confident and flamboyant.
Facing the important investor of Feiyu in his previous life, he was in a very relaxed state and spoke in a tone as if he was talking to an old friend.
"???"
Ma Wenteng had a face full of question marks. After pondering for a while, he was moved by Chen Yansen's attitude. He waved to Liu Zhiping, and the two walked into the meeting room together.
