Chapter 369 The new Internet star! Wang Xin is ready to admit defeat, Jia Yaoting: I also want to meet Mr. Chen!
But what Chen Yansen didn't expect was that Zhou Hongyi called him as soon as he arrived at the hotel.
"Mr. Chen, this is Old Zhou. I heard that you came to Yanjing? Jingzhao Yin will welcome you tonight."
Zhou Hongyi made the arrangements in a familiar tone and very enthusiastically.
It seemed that I had long forgotten the arrogant look on my face when we first met.
"Tomorrow night, Mr. Zhang from Sohu invited me to go to the bar." Chen Yansen sat on the sofa, and a pair of small hands came up from behind and gently massaged his shoulders and neck.
"Lao Zhang, I know him very well, how about we go together?" Zhou Hongyi said with a smile.
"And Lei Yijun." Chen Yansen added.
"Forget it, Jingzhao Yin at 7 o'clock tomorrow night." Zhou Hongyi's laughter stopped abruptly and he ended the call immediately.
"I still remember that when I accompanied you on a business trip to Yanjing two years ago, President Zhou kept calling President Lei 'Big Brother'."
Song Yuncheng smiled faintly and couldn't help but sigh.
"Just get used to it. Where can you find friends in the business circle? When Zhou Hongyi stops making mobile phones, or Lei Yijun stops making mobile phones, once the two of them have no conflict of interest, they will return to being good friends."
Chen Yansen leaned back and signaled Song Yuncheng to continue.
The girl's soft little hands didn't have much strength, but they made Mr. Chen feel very comfortable.
As Song Yuncheng pressed the button, he asked, "Is Zhang Chaoyang your friend?"
"Let's just forget about it for now. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" Chen Yansen shrugged and said indifferently.
Through the more than three-meter-high glass curtain wall, you can overlook the entire Chaoyang District. Outside the window, there is a vast expanse of white, and there is still some snow from the previous few days on the roof.
"The appointment with the Dialogue program team is at 9:30 tomorrow morning. The drive from the hotel to the TV station takes 15 minutes, so we plan to set off at 9 o'clock."
Song Yuncheng reminded in a low voice.
"With your ability, it's a bit of a waste to be the key account director of Pinbei. How about being my secretary?"
Chen Yansen closed his eyes, released the restraints on his spiritual consciousness, and scanned the surrounding environment. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he transformed it into a black hole form.
"Being a secretary can't help you make money." Song Yuncheng said with a smile.
"You want to make money yourself, right?" Chen Yansen retorted.
He knew that Song Yuncheng was a money-grubber. She had saved more than five million yuan in the past two years. However, apart from buying medicine for her brother's treatment, her biggest expense was buying a Patek Philippe watch worth more than three hundred thousand yuan for Mr. Chen. However, she was reluctant to spend a penny more on herself.
"Hehe." Song Yuncheng narrowed his eyes, which curved into a crescent shape. The smile on his face was as warm as spring, even overflowing the raised arc at the corners of his mouth.
"Xiaohongshu is in need of a general manager for commercialization. If you are interested, I can give this position to you."
Chen Yansen said casually.
"Going to Shanghai?" Song Yuncheng asked.
"Yeah." Chen Yansen responded.
"Then I won't go." Song Yuncheng shook his head.
"Why? Don't you want to make money?" Chen Yansen asked back.
"I want to make money, and I also want people." Song Yuncheng leaned over and said in Mr. Chen's ear.
"You should let me say this." Chen Yansen frowned slightly, looking dissatisfied.
Song Yuncheng is becoming more and more like him. She is vigorous and resolute in her work and decisive in decision-making. She manages more than 40 people, including sales people from 3A advertising companies, channel operators from Ali, Dong or SA-level brands, but all of them are obedient to her.
In terms of ability and means, she is no worse than the business directors of first-tier Internet companies.
After all, it was Mr. Chen who taught him. It’s hard to say what the upper limit is, but the lower limit is guaranteed.
"What should we do? I've said everything." Song Yuncheng asked with a smile.
"Stand in front." Chen Yansen ordered.
Song Yuncheng knew what he wanted to do. Her pretty face turned pink and she stuck her butt out obediently.
With a "slap" sound, Chen Yansen's slap was crisp and loud.
He looked at Song Yuncheng and thought to himself: Mengjie is too young, Master Ye is too noisy, and Xiaochengzi is just right, studious and hardworking.
"What are we having for dinner?" Song Yuncheng, who had been beaten, turned around and asked.
"Let's go to the snack street we went to last time. I see you like it very much." Chen Yansen took Song Yuncheng's hand and pulled it back, and the other person fell into his arms.
"Okay." Song Yuncheng felt warm in her heart. She didn't expect that Chen Yansen remembered it so clearly.
at the same time.
The bosses of local Internet companies in Yanjing have gradually received news that Chen Yansen is coming to Beijing.
Compared with last year, Chen Yansen is more popular this year.
Pinbei exceeded Dongfang's annual sales and jumped to second place in the e-commerce industry with a performance of 317.4 billion yuan.
Orange's global shipments of mobile phones reached 50.1 million units, ranking sixth, with sales crushing Huawei, TCL and BlackBerry. It is also the number one in the domestic smartphone shipment list.
Orange Pay has over 30 million daily active users and owns the country's first money market fund with a scale of over 100 billion yuan.
Products such as Kuaidi Taxi, Kuaipao, Amap, and Toutiao are also leaders in their respective fields.
Since the end of the Yanjing Internet Conference, some media have changed "BAT" to "BATS". This shows that in the eyes of most people, Chen Yansen's wealth and industry influence are not inferior to those of Li Yanhong, Ma Wenteng and Ma Liyun.
Many people called Zhang Chaoyang, hoping that he would act as a matchmaker, organize a drinking party, establish contact with Chen Yansen, and seek in-depth cooperation.
Even Wang Xin had this idea. In his opinion, it would be better to merge with Kuaipao than with Dianping.com.
There has always been a logic of the strong joining forces, but how can there be a logic of joining forces with the weak to fight against the strong?
"Brother Xin, do you want to sell the company?" Wang Huiwen asked.
"Selling? Not really. In fact, I would rather use Meituan as a bargaining chip to join Senlian Capital."
Wang Xin smiled bitterly and said lightly.
In the six months of direct competition with Kuaipao, Meituan has suffered repeated setbacks, and even he was beaten by Pei Yi without any chance to fight back.
Afterwards, he thought about it again and again and felt that there was no problem with his ability, but he just lost in resources and funds.
Kuaipao has no shortage of money, no shortage of traffic, and no shortage of talent.
Just focus on development! Pei Yi can easily get the exposure and traffic he longs for. Products such as Orange App Store, Pinbei, and AutoNavi are always directing traffic to Kuaipao.
How does Meituan fight? How does it compete?
Damn, all the opponents are cheating! "I don't object, but I'm worried that Chen Yansen may not be interested in Meituan," Wang Huiwen reminded.
Kuaipao’s core businesses are food delivery and group buying. The former has already occupied 80% of the market share. The latter, relying on the foundation of Nuomi.com, has also established a firm foothold in the industry within half a year and is also the market leader.
Why did Senlian Capital acquire Meituan? Just to reduce a competitor? I'm afraid it's very difficult! "Let's try it. Maybe Chen Yansen's brain circuit is different from ordinary people." Wang Xin joked with a smile, a hint of worry in his eyes.
If Wang Huiwen could understand this truth, then how could he not know it?
However, the pressure exerted on Meituan by Kuaipao and Lashou.com was too great. After two and a half years of consecutive losses, investors also lost patience with Meituan.
Shen Nanpeng of Sequoia Capital clearly informed him that if he wanted to raise funds, he had to merge with Dianping.com, otherwise there would be no deal.
Ahri's attitude is ambiguous, and she obviously prefers to run with chopsticks.
Although Ali Baba only holds a 4% stake in Kuaipao, its value far exceeds its stake in Meituan.
Let Ma Liyun pay to beat himself up? Absolutely impossible!
Unless Ali goes public immediately, with sufficient resources, Ma may invest more in Meituan with the mentality of "raising poison", but at present, Ma Liyun has just established Cainiao Logistics and spent more than 2 billion yuan. Where can he afford to waste money on Wang Xin? "Then I'll call Mr. Zhang." Wang Huiwen took out his mobile phone with a try-it attitude, searched through the address book, and called Zhang Chaoyang.
“Beep…beep…beep…”
Wang Huiwen turned on the speakerphone.
"Hello, who is this?" Zhang Chaoyang frowned, resisting the urge to curse. He received dozens of calls this afternoon, each of which was asking him in a roundabout way about Chen Yansen's news, which made him very annoyed.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I'm Wang Huiwen from Meituan. I would like to ask you for a favor..." Wang Huiwen introduced himself.
But before he could say a word, he heard Zhang Chaoyang say, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, if you want to see Chen Yansen, you can contact him directly. I won't be a middleman."
Wang Huiwen opened his mouth and stood there in a daze.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang. I'm Wang Xin from Meituan. I want to sell the company to Chen Yansen. I hope Mr. Zhang can help pass on a message."
Wang Xin interjected.
With his connections, he was able to get Pei Yi's contact information, but he couldn't get Chen Yansen's personal cell phone number.
Meituan seems to be well-known, but the platform's annual transaction volume was only 10.3 billion yuan, which is incomparable to Kuaipao, let alone the entire Senlian Capital.
Sell the company to Chen Yansen?
Zhang Chaoyang was slightly stunned. He knew that Meituan and Kuaipao were competitors, but he did not expect that Wang Xin was suppressed by Chen Yansen to the point that he had no spirit at all and wanted to sell the company.
"Okay, I got it." It was just a word, and Zhang Chaoyang didn't completely refuse.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. I'll treat you to a drink later." Wang Xin expressed his gratitude humbly and politely.
"Let's talk about it later." Zhang Chaoyang responded perfunctorily and hung up the phone.
It is true that he likes to drink, but it depends on the person. Not everyone is qualified to sit at his table.
The other side.
Ding Lei, Liu Qiangdong and Lei Yijun looked at each other.
"What are you all standing there for?" Zhang Chaoyang put down his phone, looked at the three people in a daze, and urged them subconsciously.
"There are so many people who want to meet Chen Yansen." Ding Lei secretly clicked his tongue, realizing for the first time the status of Chen Yansen in society.
"It is said that Ge Yue, the managing director of Apple Asia, went to Xucheng a few days ago." Lei Yijun said faintly, his tone slightly sour, the envy in his eyes almost overflowing.
"I understand this. Apple plans to enter Pinbei and has purchased the architecture license for Orange Z1."
Ding Lei took the initiative to share.
Join Pinbei?
Yidong is the exclusive sales platform for digital home appliances!
What does Ge Yue mean by skipping Dong? Liu Qiangdong's face turned pale and blue, and his dissatisfaction was written all over his face.
"How do you know?" Lei Yijun asked curiously.
"Orange Technology has developed a new mobile operating system called Aurora Future OS. Chen Yansen wanted me to cooperate with him in developing the AFOS version for NetEase. He sent me the open source code and development tools of the Aurora Future OS, so I chatted with him a few more times a few days ago. Hey, MiTalk has quite a few users, didn't he contact you?"
As Ding Lei spoke, he looked at Lei Yijun with suspicion.
"Oh, you're talking about this. Xiaomi is developing the AFOS version of MiTalk, which can be regarded as supporting domestic mobile phone operating systems."
Lei Yijun pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said with a chuckle.
"It's similar to what I think." Ding Lei nodded in agreement.
Zhang Chaoyang secretly curled his lips and couldn't help but complain: If Orange Technology was not willing to provide OEM and supply chain services for NetEase and Xiaomi mobile phones, would you two be so easy to talk to?
It is precisely because he sees through everything that Lao Zhang is very annoyed.
The four of them ate their dinner leisurely, and did not finish until half past six. Then they took a car to the Yunku Bar.
After getting in the car, Zhang Chaoyang thought for a moment and called his younger brother: "Xiaochuan, Yunku Bar at 7:30, I'll introduce you to a new friend."
"Brother, I have two product meetings tonight." Wang Xiaochuan declined.
Since joining Sohu in 2003, he has worked for Zhang Chaoyang for ten years.
At first, the two disliked each other, but when he achieved a 5% market share for Sogou Search, Zhang Chaoyang gave him full power, operated Sogou independently, and gave Wang Xiaochuan 10% of the shares.
Although only 6.8% remains after several rounds of financing, it also shows how generous Zhang Chaoyang is.
Generally speaking, it is rare for a boss to be willing to give his subordinates 1% of the shares, but Zhang Chaoyang gave Wang Xiaochuan 10%.
During this period, Zhou Hongyi secretly tried to recruit Wang Xiaochuan, and Ma Wenteng also took action, but they were rejected by Wang Xiaochuan one by one.
"I also made an appointment with Chen Yansen," Zhang Chaoyang continued.
"Brother, I'll be there soon." Wang Xiaochuan replied immediately.
"You think I can't command you?" Zhang Chaoyang scolded with a smile.
"Brother, don't get me wrong, am I that kind of person?" Wang Xiaochuan said seriously.
"Okay, okay, I won't chat with you anymore. I'm hanging up first." Zhang Chaoyang said unhappily.
Chen Yansen became a hot commodity and everyone wanted to know him.
Zhang Chaoyang couldn't help but recall that more than ten years ago, when Sohu had just gone public, his status in the Yanjing Internet circle was the same as Chen Yansen's at this moment.
Wherever he goes, there is a large group of people following him, and the people who want to treat him to dinner and drinks can line up from Yanjing to Hong Kong Island.
"It's so hard to be young again. Being young is so damn beautiful."
A hint of reminiscence appeared in Zhang Chaoyang's eyes.
At the same time.
Jia Yaoting, who had just sold 50,000 LeTV boxes, was eager to enter the smart TV industry. When he learned that Chen Yansen was coming to Yanjing to participate in an event, he instantly wanted to make friends with him.
Putting aside other things, the Pinbei Mall alone is worthy of his attention.
By building good relationships in advance, LeTV will have an important online sales channel once TVs are launched on the market.
After thinking for a long time, he still didn't know who to find as an introducer, so he finally called Zhou Hongyi. After all, Zhou Hongyi had boasted on Weibo: Mr. Chen is my best friend.
Since Chen Yansen did not refute it, it means there is not much water in it.
