Chapter 67: Rejecting the Man Worth 400 Million (3.7K Chapter)
"Yifeng, Chen Xu, I have inquired about this channel commendation meeting in advance. Some of the top Taobao merchants will participate. Your tasks are, first, to make yourself familiar with them, and second, to add their contact information. By the way, you can also promote the daily activity and average order value of FoxTao..."
A Mercedes-Benz Viano was speeding on the highway. Chen Yansen, who was sitting in the back seat, gave detailed instructions to Chen Xu and Zhang Yifeng.
Once the merchant’s backend system goes online, Chen Yansen plans to work with a number of brands to create a benchmark and make big news.
"Okay, Brother Sen." Chen Xu and Zhang Yifeng nodded in response.
"Do you have a driver's license?" After explaining the details, Chen Yansen turned and asked Song Yuncheng.
"No." Song Yuncheng answered truthfully, somewhat confused.
With the experience of the last penguin visit, she had no objection to Chen Yansen taking her to Hangzhou this time. What's more, Chen Xu and Zhang Yifeng were accompanying them, so she naturally felt more at ease.
"I'll go back to study and ask Teacher Liu to reimburse the fees."
Chen Yansen made the arrangements directly.
These days, it’s hundreds of kilometers from Xucheng to Hangzhou, and there’s not even a high-speed train available. Chen Yansen had no choice but to rent a commercial vehicle and hire a full-time driver.
"Oh." Song Yuncheng didn't ask any more questions this time.
She knew that if she asked, Chen Yansen's next sentence would be "Believe it or not, I'll deduct your salary", so she just did as she was told.
Chen Xu and Zhang Yifeng looked at each other. As the number one employee of FoxTao, Song Yuncheng was obviously treated differently in front of the boss. They kept silent and played with their mobile phones.
With outsiders present, Chen Yansen couldn't do anything and just browsed the news out of boredom.
The 3G network can only display pictures and texts. Chen Yansen can't help but miss the summer of 2018. At that time, when he opened the short video, the screen was full of young ladies in cool clothes. Playing with mobile phones was like an emperor flipping cards.
Unfortunately, the three major operators haven't even obtained the 4G licenses yet, and Lei Jun's Mi 1 mobile phone probably hasn't even come out with a design drawing. The entertainment methods in 2010 will indeed be a lot more monotonous.
Because it was a weekday, there was little traffic on the highway. Chen Yansen closed his eyes for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, the car had already entered the city center of Hangzhou.
At that time, Hangzhou was full of high-rise buildings, and the financial, exhibition, and trade industries were developing rapidly. Coupled with the existence of Alibaba, the city was given the label of an e-commerce capital.
Ali's channel chamber of commerce was held at the Xinyao Holiday Hotel, not far from the headquarters. As soon as Chen Yansen and others walked into the lobby, they saw Ali's sign-in desk.
"Hello sir, what is the full name of your company? I will help you register it first." The staff in charge of reception asked politely.
"Sennhai Technology, our product is called FoxTao." Chen Yansen replied briefly.
"Which Sen is Senhai? Are you the representative of Fox Tao? Welcome to Hangzhou!" The staff member was originally looking through the roster with his head down, but when he heard the three words "Fox Tao", he immediately handed over the meeting card with a bright smile and politely explained to Chen Yansen the procedures for tomorrow's meeting.
This was not because anyone had specifically instructed him to do so, but because of FoxTao's Double Eleven performance, they had just achieved the 1 billion target set by the group, and the year-end bonus was secured, so they looked at Chen Yansen with particularly cordial eyes.
"It's still early. If you two get bored staying in the hotel, you can go for a walk by the West Lake by yourselves. Just remember to attend the exchange meeting in the evening." Chen Yansen said softly as he walked into the elevator.
"Thank you, Brother Sen. Halfway through the journey, Brother Feng and I were still discussing whether we should ask you for leave, hehe." Chen Xu grinned, looking excited.
Chen Yansen hummed and said nothing more.
The elevator slowly opened, and several people took their room cards and returned to their rooms.
Chen Yansen sat in front of the window holding his computer, and once again looked at the Fox Tao product promotion PPT made by Song Yuncheng. The content mainly emphasized the daily independent visits, cumulative registered users and monthly orders, which are the things that merchants are most concerned about.
The first page of the PPT reads: FoxTao丨One-stop CPS performance marketing platform!
"Damn it, we just lack a typical case. We don't have the confidence to go out and attract investment." Chen Yansen cursed inwardly.
However, he made some optimizations in the data. For example, the cumulative registered users of FoxTao were 4 million, but on the PPT, it became 10 million; the number of daily active users changed from 600,000 to 1 million, and the daily order volume increased from 70,000 to 150,000.
When you are out, it is already very polite if you don't multiply the data by ten. Only fools would do business honestly.
The most urgent task is to brag first and get the first wave of merchant resources.
"Come to my room, the PPT content needs to be revised." After confirming all the details, Chen Yansen sent a message to Song Yuncheng.
When Song Yuncheng received the text message, he subconsciously picked up his computer. He walked to the door and then turned back, picked up a palm-sized brick, and then walked out of the room with a full sense of security.
“Knock knock knock—”
There was a knock on the door and Chen Yansen opened it.
Song Yuncheng walked into the room carrying a computer, and the boxer briefs on the bed immediately caught her eye. The cute printed pattern made her laugh and cry. Her cheeks flushed and she quickly turned her head away.
"What content needs to be modified?" Song Yuncheng asked while sitting at the desk and spreading out the computer.
The image of the underwear kept appearing in her mind, making her take a deep breath and suppress the embarrassment in her heart.
"Here, add a zero after the number, increase the number of new customers per day by another 50,000, and increase the conversion rate by 10%..." Chen Yansen stood behind her, pointing at the screen and speaking one by one.
"Isn't it too exaggerated?" Song Yuncheng asked in a low voice.
"Be bold to change it!" Chen Yansen rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily.
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll change it right away!" Song Yuncheng shrank his neck and agreed against his will.
Chen Yansen sat on the edge of the bed, smelling her body odor and looking Song Yuncheng up and down.
Compared with Wang Ziyan's beauty, Song Yuncheng's growth rate is obviously much slower, but compared with other members of Fox Tao, her intelligence, emotional intelligence and ability to control the situation are at an upper-middle level.
I don't know how she did in her previous life, but from Chen Yansen's point of view, it is not difficult for Song Yuncheng to get a job in a medium-sized or larger design company after graduation. If she is lucky, she can join the company in its early stages and get a 70 to 80 percent chance of becoming a UED manager.
"I've fixed it." Not long after, Song Yuncheng turned his head and said. Seeing Chen Yansen staring at him, he suddenly felt uneasy and his guard was raised.
"Well, accompany me for a walk and have lunch on the way." Chen Yansen stood up and said in a notification tone.
Song Yuncheng had no choice but to follow him obediently. Chen Yansen found a Cantonese restaurant and ordered a few dishes at random. The two of them sat there looking at the West Lake, eating and chatting.
"Mr. Chen, why don't you go to a local restaurant?" Song Yuncheng asked curiously.
"Hangzhou cuisine is not tasty." Chen Yansen picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, shaking his head and said.
After dinner, the two strolled along the West Lake for a while, and then walked into a dessert shop. They sat in front of the window, looking at the traffic outside, eating dessert and drinking milk tea.
Regardless of their identities, the two looked like a couple.
Chen Yansen did it on purpose. Although Song Yuncheng felt something was wrong, she had never been in a relationship and just thought it was a normal moment of interaction between a boss and his subordinates.
It was not until 5pm that the two took a taxi back to the hotel.
After a short rest, Chen Yansen called Chen Xu and Zhang Yifeng and walked into the banquet hall where the e-commerce exchange meeting was held.
The hall of over a thousand square meters was magnificent and crowded with people. Everyone was well-dressed. Most of the ladies wore casual suits, while the men basically wore black, white and gray suits. Their hair was shiny and greasy, as if they had been smeared with two ounces of hair wax.
As soon as Chen Yansen and his group entered the banquet hall, they attracted a lot of attention.
Even though the four of them were dressed appropriately, they were too young and seemed to be a generation behind the other participants.
"Daniel, the boss of FoxTao is here." The assistant sitting next to Zhang Yong reminded in a low voice.
Zhang Yong followed the direction pointed by the assistant and recognized Chen Yansen at the first moment.
Although Chen Xu and Zhang Yifeng tried hard to keep calm, the feeling of uneasiness in them was clearly visible to an old fox like him.
Song Yuncheng's aura was steady and he exuded confidence, but his attitude as a follower was too obvious.
Only Chen Yansen walked with his head held high, a slight smile on his lips, without a trace of nervousness. His aura seemed to blend into the surrounding environment.
"Young people like this are rare!" Zhang Yong commented secretly.
After a little thought, he slowly stood up and went to meet them together with his assistant and Hu Zhilong, the head of the Ali Alliance.
Chen Yansen was no stranger to Zhang Yong, the future successor designated by Ma Liyun, but the two had never met in their previous lives.
He had just entered the industry when the other party was at its peak; by the time he was in high spirits, the other party had already been beaten badly by Pinxixi.
"Boss Zhang, you are a senior in the industry, I should have come over to say hello first."
Chen Yansen looked up and saw Zhang Yong and his group. Without thinking too much, he hurried forward to greet them.
There was no way. He could ignore Ma Wenteng, but he could not offend Zhang Yong.
Although Ali was not well-known before its listing in 2010, it was a undisputed leader in the e-commerce circle, beating up PaiPai.com, Yidong and Amazon like beating a child.
"You must be Chen Yansen, right? You can just call me Daniel. You are better than I thought."
Zhang Yong held Chen Yansen's hand and nodded with satisfaction.
As a big boss, the first lesson is to know people. Just from Chen Yansen’s behavior and conversation, one can judge this person’s approximate ability.
"You're too kind. FoxTao can achieve its current development only because of the support of Ali..." Chen Yansen replied with a smile.
"Are you interested in joining Ali? I can be in charge of the acquisition of your project, and then merge it with Yitao, and you will be in charge of this business line." Zhang Yong said directly.
Zhang Yifeng and Chen Xu were stunned and secretly proud of themselves. The boss was indeed powerful. Even a big shot of Zhang Yong's level treated him differently.
Song Yuncheng's reaction was much calmer. Last time at Penguin, Zheng Chunbin of Paipai.com had a similar tone.
"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your appreciation. I'm too casual and can't stand the life of punching in and out at work." Chen Yansen made up a reason to refuse.
"I heard that you got tens of millions of venture capital from Penguin, and now your valuation is about 200 million. I will give you 400 million, and Ali can package your project and integrate it into the group. As for you, I can give you a P8 level, and after you make achievements, I guarantee that you will be promoted to P9 within three years." Zhang Yong frowned and continued.
If Chen Yansen agreed, wouldn't he become an employee of Ali? He didn't even need an interview, he could get into Ali indirectly! Chen Xu and Zhang Yifeng looked at each other, and it would be a lie to say they weren't moved.
Chen Yansen shook his head with a firm look in his eyes. He said that he would never work in his life.
"It seems that Mr. Chen has lofty ambitions, so I won't force him." Zhang Yong was very magnanimous. Although he was rejected, he did not show any displeasure on his face, and still looked as happy as ever.
"Mr. Zhang, you're too polite. The interests of FoxTao and Ali have always been consistent." Chen Yansen said these polite words without asking for any money.
"I'll make some money first, then I'll change the mode and fight you. I'll beat you till you scream. Let's see if you still pretend or not." Chen Yansen smiled and complained in his heart.
"Zhilong, spend more time with young people like Chen Yansen. You guys can chat. I'll be away for a while." Zhang Yong patted Hu Zhilong on the shoulder, said this, and then politely left.
Hu Zhilong looked strange, thinking that Chen Yansen was too young. After the two exchanged contact information, he got up and left.
"Brother Sen, 400 million yuan, and you just refused it like that!" Chen Xu said in a low voice with a painful look on his face.
"It's just 400 million, is it necessary to be like this? Let's go and take a look at the merchants." Chen Yansen said with disdain, and then led the way forward.
He didn't even recognize the representatives of those TOP merchants, but he walked up to them and greeted them one by one, as if they were old friends he hadn't seen for many years.
Chen Xu and Zhang Yifeng watched silently and tried hard to learn Chen Yansen's communication skills.
Brand owners who were originally unfamiliar with Chen Yansen and FoxTao immediately became interested when they learned that Zhang Yong offered 400 million yuan to acquire the other party, and they left their business cards one after another.
After one round, I collected a basket full of business cards.
This is just the first step, and Chen Yansen does not expect that he can make the other party cry and beg for cooperation with just a few words.
Establish communication channels first, and you will always find opportunities for cooperation later.
