An Rou took Liu Xiaoxiao and Su Xiaowan to a delicious claypot rice restaurant. The portions were large, there was plenty of meat, and it wasn't expensive.
"Wow, this is so delicious, Anrou. I would call you the Jiaotong University gourmet."
"Haha, keep it low-key."
"Speaking of which, Anrou, if we just leave like this, won't President Lin dock our pay?"
"He dares!!!" An Rou and Su Xiaowan said at the same time.
Su Xiaowan blushed slightly: "An Rou is his sister. If he dares to deduct wages, let An Rou tell Auntie."
"Oh? An Rou, you're actually President Lin's older sister?"
“Last year during the Spring Festival, Lin Chen took me home to celebrate the holiday, and then his parents recognized me as their goddaughter.”
"The people in the company thought you were..."
Liu Xiaoxiao didn't continue. She originally wanted to say "boss's wife," but then she suddenly thought that she was the older sister now, but who could say what would happen in the future? Besides, An Rou had already integrated into President Lin's family, so there would be no more conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future.
"What did you think?"
"Ahem, I thought you were related to President Lin, hahaha."
Meanwhile, Lin Chen angrily threw the banner and roll-up poster into the trunk of the Cayenne. You ask why he didn't just throw them away? Every little bit helps, and they can be used again next time.
Then, I quietly went to a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant near the school gate and ordered a plate of scrambled eggs and pork chop rice.
"Excuse me, handsome, we're out of pork chops. How about scrambled eggs instead?"
"..."
While eating pork chop rice—oh no, scrambled egg rice—Lin Chen muttered to himself that he would deduct An Rou and the others' wages when he got back.
Suddenly, a bottle of cola appeared in front of him.
"I didn't order a Coke?"
Lin Chen looked up and saw An Rou.
"I heard you're going to dock my pay, so I'll buy you a Coke as a bribe."
"Hmph, you think you can bribe me with a bottle of Coke? No way. Let me tell you, I'll deduct your salary when we get back."
"Hey, I was planning to treat you to barbecue tonight, but since you're going to deduct my salary, I don't have the money to treat you."
"Ahem, deduct wages? What do you mean, deduct wages? I'll fight anyone who dares to deduct your wages! Which barbecue place are we going to tonight?"
Back at the company, Lin Chen had just returned to his office to rest for a while when Zhang Yiming arrived.
"Mr. Lin, the 'You May Also Like' feature has been online for a week now. We initially told all the major shopping platforms that it would be a free trial for a week, but none of them have called to discuss cooperation. What should we do?"
Lin Chen was taken aback. "Oh, so you old foxes have teamed up, huh?" Lin Chen could guess what they were thinking even with his toes.
Your Huashuan.com's "You May Also Like" section is good, but you offer a free one-week trial and expect us to pay?
That's quite a clever plan. But what if we all unite and refuse to pay? Are you going to just turn off the "You May Also Like" feature?
Lin Chen smiled slightly and asked, "By the way, how was that Ouku website I asked you to check last time?"
"Oh, that Ouku.com, they're trying to do self-operated e-commerce like JD.com, but they don't have their own logistics warehouses. I guess they're about to go out of business. They're investing money in promotion on our Huasuan.com, but they haven't contacted us yet this month."
"What's their boss's phone number? I'll make a call."
"Wait, let me look. I found it. Ouku.com, Huang Zheng."
Lin Chen dialed Huang Zheng's phone number.
"Hello, is this Mr. Huang from Ouku.com?"
"Yes, I am. Who are you?"
"I'm Lin Chen from Huasuan.com."
"Mr. Lin?! I've heard so much about you. Um, Mr. Lin, our company probably won't be promoting our online betting platform this month."
"It's not about promoting this. I'm calling to ask Mr. Huang if Ouku.com needs investment?"
"Investment?" Huang Zheng's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again. He knew that he couldn't compete with Liu Qiangdong in the self-operated e-commerce sector. Even if he managed to secure investment, building a logistics warehouse wouldn't be a quick process, and by the time he did, JD.com would probably have already monopolized the market.
"Forget it, Mr. Lin. To be honest, I'm disappointed with Ouku.com's business model. I'm ready to start over and start a new business."
"Mr. Huang, I have a new idea. Why don't you take some time to come to Shanghai and we can have a proper chat?"
Huang Zheng suddenly remembered that man's nickname in the underworld.
"But Mr. Lin, I don't have five million."
"Mr. Huang, which bastard is spreading rumors about me? When did I ever say I charged 500 for consultations?"
Huang Zheng thought to himself, "You already know this yourself, so how can you call it spreading rumors?"
"Ahem, Mr. Lin, I only heard it secondhand, just secondhand. Well then, I'll come to Shanghai tomorrow."
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you at Xingchen Technology."
After hanging up the phone, Huang Zheng was a little excited. After all, that man in the underworld was quite remarkable. It was said that Lin Chen was behind the e-commerce war at the end of last year.
How did he casually help Taobao surpass 100 million in sales?
What, waving goodbye and restarting the pre-sale interception battle?
The Double Twelve shopping spree is supposed to recreate the shopping legend.
The Christmas shopping frenzy has swept across China.
Huang Zheng watched it with great interest at the end of last year, exclaiming "Holy crap!" one after another. He couldn't help but sigh, "It's like a demon king descending from the heavens, a true god of war on earth!"
The next morning, Huang Zheng arrived at Xingchen Technology.
"Mr. Lin, I've heard so much about you!"
"Not at all, you're too kind. Please have a seat."
"I wonder what brings you here, Mr. Lin?"
"I wouldn't presume to offer advice; I just have some ideas I'd like to discuss with Mr. Huang."
"Oh? Please go ahead, Mr. Lin."
"I wonder if Mr. Huang has considered a combination model of group buying and e-commerce?"
"Group buying + e-commerce? Can these be combined?" Huang Zheng seemed to have a sudden flash of inspiration, but he just couldn't quite grasp it.
"For example, I want to buy a pair of sneakers, but they're too expensive. So I start a group buy and invite my friends to join. If three or five friends buy together, wouldn't that make the sneakers cheaper?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Huang Zheng seemed to have suddenly had his meridians opened, and he became excited. However, he then frowned. "But there is another problem. In addition to the online shopping platform, the price of goods is also controlled by the supplier. For example, for sneakers, the supplier needs to control the price of the specialty stores to be synchronized with the online price so that the specialty stores can sell them."
Lin Chen changed the subject: "President Huang, how about I acquire Ouku.com directly, and you join our Xingchen Technology, and we can work on this project together."
Huang Zheng was taken aback, but then he thought about it and realized that Lin Chen was willing to tell him so much for free, which meant he trusted him a lot. The concept of group buying + e-commerce alone was worth at least 100 million yuan.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, thank you for your trust. I'm willing to join Xingchen Technology!"
