"Oh? Tell me more about it."
Lin Chen began, "Our company is currently making a comprehensive layout in the mobile internet market and developing mobile phone business. However, the current data charges are too expensive for users. We would like to cooperate with operators to see if we can customize a mobile phone card with unlimited data."
After listening, Chen Jianguo pondered for a while: "This matter is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either. It still needs to be evaluated. How about this, it just so happens that Zhang Hongtao, the general manager of Shanghai Unicom, is a friend of mine. I'll give him a call and ask him."
Chen Jianguo took out his phone, scrolled through his contacts for a while, and then dialed the number.
"Hey, Lao Zhang, are you busy?"
"Old Chen, it's been a long time! Let's grab a couple of drinks sometime."
"I can't drink anymore, my blood pressure is getting higher and higher, and I haven't touched alcohol for several months."
"Haha, tea is fine too, it doesn't have to be alcohol."
"By the way, I have something to ask you. I have a student who started a business that develops mobile phone services. He'd like to collaborate with you to see if we can customize an unlimited data SIM card."
"Hehe, Lao Chen, although the higher-ups have been trying to speed up data traffic and reduce fees in recent years, and want to create a representative project, not just any small company can do it. Do you think it's reliable for you to bring a college student startup company to cooperate with China Unicom?"
"My student's company is called Xingchen Technology. That Huasuan.com website belongs to their company."
"Hua... Old Chen, why are you talking so slowly? Can Huasuan.com even be considered a startup? Here's what we'll do: have him come to me tomorrow morning. I'll wait for him in my office, and we'll talk in more detail."
"Okay, thanks then."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jianguo said to Lin Chen, "Alright, go to the Shanghai Unicom headquarters to see him tomorrow morning."
"Alright, thank you very much, Principal Chen."
"You're welcome. You're my student, and I'm happy to be able to help you."
"Hey, Principal, I have a small favor to ask you for."
"What?"
Lin Chen took the previously printed job information form from An Rou and handed it to Chen Jianguo.
"Principal Chen, Xingchen Technology only recruited 14 people at the last job fair, and we are still short of many outstanding talents, so we can only ask you for help in recommending some."
Lin Chen handed the job posting to Chen Jianguo. Chen Jianguo took it and looked at it. He saw that apart from the job title and Lin Chen's signature, there was nothing written on the job posting. It was obvious that Lin Chen had left the blank space for him to write.
Whoever he writes about can be recommended to work at Xingchen Technology. You should know that Xingchen Technology is no longer a small company; its valuation has long exceeded 10 billion yuan, making it one of the top-tier internet companies in China.
Although there aren't many job postings, they can help him fill some of the employment gaps for graduates, and can even be used as gifts when necessary. This little fox, he's so particular about how he gives gifts.
"Alright then, I'll help you find out which outstanding graduates haven't found suitable jobs yet. If there are any particularly outstanding ones, I'll mark them for you."
"Haha, Principal Chen, you've worked hard. Thank you, Principal Chen. We'll be going now."
Lin Chen and An Rou got up to say goodbye. After leaving the office building, An Rou said with emotion, "I didn't expect Principal Chen to be not only so helpful, but also so thoughtful. He even marked the outstanding ones, which saved us a lot of trouble."
Lin Chen sighed: "Hey, An Rou, with your mind like this, I'm starting to worry about the future of our company."
"What? Am I wrong?"
"Principal Chen meant that if there were any people with connections, he would mark them and ask me to contact him privately."
"Huh? Is that what you mean?"
Lin Chen shook his head and walked away quickly.
"Hey, Lin Chen, wait for me."
"No, I need to keep my distance from the idiot. I can't let him infect me."
"You're the idiot! You're dead!"
The two bickered and teased each other as they returned to the company. When Zhang Yiming saw Lin Chen return, he excitedly said, "President Lin, this time, we used all three tools together, and the effect was remarkable. The download numbers have all exploded."
What were the reactions from other companies?
"Taobao, JD.com, and Amazon all called to ask why the 'You May Also Like' section on the computer can redirect users, but not on the mobile app. I replied to them as you suggested."
"I knew they would do this. Trying to morally blackmail me? If I have no morals, what can you use to blackmail me? I'm already being nice by not selling iOS and Android separately like Pony Ma did."
Zhang Yiming's lips twitched. That makes sense, but why does it sound like you're the villain coming from your mouth?
Meanwhile, Little Ma, who was far away in Shenzhen, suddenly sneezed very loudly. Strange, who was talking about me?
Hangzhou, Alibaba headquarters.
Zhang Yong was furious after hearing his secretary's report.
"This little fox, it started out by relying on our Taobao platform, but now that it's grown big, it's turned its back on us."
Sitting to the side, Jack Ma waved his hand and said, "Calm down. Isn't that how business is? You just cheated them a few days ago."
"Mr. Ma, what should we do now?"
"Let's analyze Lin Chen's strategy. First, he drives traffic from the Huasuan.com app to Pinduoduo, then Pinduoduo allows users to join group purchases by sharing with their MiXin friends, and finally, they pay with Huasuan.com, right?"
"That's right, that's how he connected his four software programs together to create a closed loop."
"If he can do it, then Taobao can too. We have Taobao Mobile and Alipay. What we lack now is a social software. No, actually, Taobao has built-in communication software between buyers and sellers, and Alipay can also create a built-in communication software between friends. Transferring money between each other should primarily be done among acquaintances, right?"
"Mr. Ma, that's brilliant! This way, they download one less app than Lin Chen. So, what about the traffic generation issue?"
"How did we operate before Huasuan.com existed?"
“In the past, we usually advertised in subway stations, bus stops, and some portal websites.”
“Then let’s continue doing it this way. It’s just a matter of spending some money. Once we’ve built up a large user base for Taobao Mobile, we won’t need to attract traffic anymore.”
"Okay, let's do it that way."
"No, we can't go it alone. We need to form alliances and meet with Liu Qiangdong and Zhang Wenyi. We'll tell them we want to discuss a plan to get rid of the dog."
Zhang Yong's secretary's lips twitched. This Mr. Ma must have read too many martial arts novels.
Zhang Yong sent messages to Liu Qiangdong and Zhang Wenyi that same day:
On May 8th, an auspicious day, Alibaba gathered at West Lake in Hangzhou to discuss their plan to eliminate the dog!
When Liu Qiangdong and Zhang Wenyi received the news, their lips twitched, and they cursed under their breath, "Damn idiots!"
