After lying on the sofa and thinking for a while, Lin Chen had a preliminary plan in mind.
At this moment, An Rou came out of the room, wearing a silk nightgown. She stretched, revealing her beautiful curves, especially her big breasts, which instantly aroused Lin Chen's little brother.
"Ahem, Anrou, it's so cold, wear more clothes."
"The air conditioning is on at home, it's not cold. What do you want for breakfast?"
"Anything is fine."
Lin Chen's little brother was shouting in his mind, "I want to eat White Rabbit! I want to eat White Rabbit!"
After breakfast, the two went to the company together, and Lin Chen went to Zhang Yiming's office.
"Mr. Zhang, there's something I need to tell you in advance."
"What is it, Mr. Lin?"
"I saw on the news this morning that a big investor acquired Wowo Group. I guess they'll come to us at Huasuan.com to advertise. We'll lower their recommendation rating a bit."
"Huh? Why is that?"
"Because the person who acquired this company looks like a traitor to China."
Zhang Yiming was speechless for a moment: Fine, you're the boss, you call the shots.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, I've got it."
After Lin Chen left, Zhang Yiming turned on his computer and searched for Xu Maodong's photo. He nodded and thought, "He really does look like a traitor. He looks a bit like those fat, big-eared Japanese traitors and translators in anti-Japanese war dramas. President Lin is really good at judging people."
After returning to his office, Lin Chen called Wu Bo again.
"Good morning, Brother Bo."
"Brother Chen, don't call me that. You're the older brother. What do you need?"
"I have good news, or I have bad news. Which do you want to hear?"
"Good news."
"No, do you want to hear the bad news first?"
Wu Bo stared at his phone with a puzzled look on his face: "Then why the hell are you asking me? You could have just told me."
"Okay, I want to hear the bad news first."
"The bad news is that a big investor has acquired Wowo Group and is preparing to fight you."
"I already know about this news. Xu Maodong is indeed a tricky character. I've heard that he's planning to spend 1 billion yuan this year to seize market share. So what's the good news?"
"The good news is that I've decided to step in and help you take him down."
Upon hearing this, Wu Bo jumped up from his seat in surprise: "What? You're going to help me? Bro, you're the referee! If you come down to help me, won't Huasuan.com lose its fairness? Who will want to advertise on Huasuan.com in the future?"
"Are you stupid? Do you think I would tell anyone about this? Besides, I'm only targeting Wowo Group. I don't care about other companies. If you get taken down by another company, you can only blame yourself."
"Hmm? What grudge do you have against this Xu Maodong?"
“I think he looks like a traitor. My patriotic flames are burning fiercely inside me, and they can’t burn him to death.”
Wu Bo: ...
"Of course I'd love to, but group buying is very expensive. Aren't you working with Lei Jun on mobile phones? Do you have that much spare money?"
"You don't need to worry about that. I'll contact you when the time is right. Just keep it a secret. By the way, I'll appropriately lower WowoTuan's recommendation rating, which is also a way to indirectly increase the pressure on WowoTuan."
"I'm very tight-lipped. If you don't believe me, ask Zhang Xuhao. We've been to massage parlors so many times, when have I ever told you?"
Lin Chen's face darkened, and he hung up the phone immediately. These two sluts are nothing like me, Lin Chen, who is upright and righteous.
At this time, Xu Maodong was unaware that Huasuan.com and Lashou had secretly joined forces to deal with him. In fact, he didn't care whether group buying was profitable or not; what he wanted was market share so that he could go public, raise money, and run away.
At the headquarters of Wowo Group, Xu Maodong was holding an employee meeting, standing on the platform and speaking eloquently.
"Dear colleagues, Wowo Group was just an unknown player in the group buying market before. That was not because you were not capable enough, but because the development path you had planned before was wrong."
"What is group buying? For example, if we go to buy shoes, if you go alone, a pair costs 100 yuan. If you invite ten friends to go together, the shopkeeper might sell them to you for 80 yuan a pair. If you invite the whole company to go together, the shopkeeper can sell them to you for 50 yuan a pair. Group buying is the same principle."
"So, the key point is obvious: the key to group buying is attracting people, not only merchants but also customers. So how do we attract people? The simplest and most direct way is to spend money. We subsidize merchants who join and we also subsidize consumers who make purchases."
"This way we can definitely build up our market share. Once we crush all the other group-buying websites, we'll be number one, and we'll be the ones making the money. So, does everyone have confidence?"
"I have confidence!"
"I have confidence!"
...
After giving his employees a pep talk, Xu Maodong, like other group-buying websites, used his three main tactics.
The first step is naturally to find merchants offline, and at the same time, to promote to them that Wowo.com allows them to directly add their own links online, just like Lashou.com.
Secondly, we need to issue coupons to users. Xu Maodong said that we must bring down the price and make it cheaper than Lashou.com, so we should issue as many coupons as possible.
Third, they hire Huasuan.com for promotion. Although these group-buying websites now look down on Huasuan.com for acting as middlemen and earning promotion fees, Huasuan.com's promotion is genuinely effective. Every time they report to investors, the promotional results of Huasuan.com are highlighted. They have to spend the money, so what can they do?
Huasuan.com's promotions are divided into several tiers, with each tier corresponding to the amount of money spent, which is quite fair. Although Wowo.com used to use Huasuan.com for promotions, we were poor back then and could only invest in the lowest tier. Now that we have money, things are different. The new boss has prepared a billion yuan for promotions, so let's just go for the highest tier. We're not afraid of spending money; we're only afraid of not getting results.
...
At 10 a.m., Su Xiaowan arrived at the company.
"Lin Chen, I'm here."
"Yes, come with me to the Charity Foundation Association. I've decided to establish a charity foundation."
"Huh? Why the sudden decision to establish a charitable foundation?"
“Sigh, every day I see the money in my bank account increasing, and I don’t know what to do with it. But when I think about how many children can’t afford to go to school, I can’t eat or sleep. So I decided to contribute my share.”
Su Xiaowan suddenly felt that Lin Chen's image had become taller and more imposing, and there was even golden light appearing behind him.
Lin Chen stopped rambling and said, "Let's go. If we go now, we can finish before they close for lunch."
As they passed An Rou's office, Lin Chen pulled An Rou along again.
The three drove to the Shanghai Charity Foundation, explained their purpose, received an application form, and began filling it out.
"Lin Chen, what should we fill in for this goal and mission?"
"Let's fill in the blank: so that more children can receive an education and more Hope Primary Schools can be built."
"Should this choice be made public?"
"Why would we make this public?"
"Okay, I've filled it out. I'll go submit the application form now."
After carefully verifying the identities of Lin Chen and the others, the staff of the charity federation also gained a preliminary understanding of Xingchen Technology's financial situation. They then took the application forms, filled in their comments, and said, "I have no problems here. We will have someone come to verify the relevant information and conduct a second verification."
