After listening to his subordinate's report, Xu Maodong's first reaction was, "Isn't this like a pillow being delivered to someone who's sleepy?"
However, he soon fell into doubt again.
What a coincidence! I just happen to be short of market share, and the other party takes the initiative to call and deliver it to me.
He had no doubt whatsoever about whether Zhang Yiming had the ability to handle this matter.
That's a joke. Huasuan.com is now the biggest obstacle to the entire group-buying platform; it's a robber.
If everyone pays protection money, then you can fight your own battles. My website, Huasuan.com, won't interfere.
But if anyone dares not pay protection money, hmph, I'll show you why the flowers are so red and why there are so few orders.
Xu Maodong decided to go to Shanghai in person to have a talk with Zhang Yiming. He was quite confident in his ability to judge people.
Look, this advertising director is a great choice. If he can solve this problem that has been bothering me for so long, I will definitely promote him and give him a raise. I will also make him the legal representative of Wowo Group so that he can feel the love from his boss.
Soon, Zhang Yiming received a call from Wowo Group.
Xu Maodong called him personally.
"Hello Mr. Zhang, I'm Xu Maodong from Wowo Group."
"Mr. Xu, hello, hello! I've heard so much about you!"
Zhang Yiming's words came from the bottom of his heart. Among so many group-buying website owners, this capitalist who looked like a translator left a particularly deep impression on him.
"Haha, you're too kind. Mr. Zhang, are you free? I happen to be in Shanghai on a business trip tomorrow. Shall we have dinner together?"
"Sure."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yiming reported the matter to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen thought for a moment and then instructed Zhang Yiming: "There are generally three reasons why men are short of money: gambling, drugs, prostitution, and prostitution. Xu Maodong must want to test you out."
"Damn, Mr. Lin, I absolutely refuse to touch gambling or drugs."
"Well, you can rest assured. He's not from Shanghai, so he's definitely not familiar with underground casinos, and he certainly wouldn't dare touch drugs. So I guess he'll take you to a club or something."
"Oh... Mr. Lin, this isn't right. I'm not that kind of person. However, for the company's development and for your plans, I will do anything, even go through fire and water."
Lin Chen: ...
If I hadn't seen the barely suppressed smile on your face, I almost would have believed it.
"Ahem, Mr. Zhang, try to make your performance as realistic as possible."
"Don't worry, I'm familiar with it... oh no, I'll try my best."
After Zhang Yiming left, Lin Chen was heartbroken. What a tragedy! He couldn't have seized such an opportunity; it was a huge loss.
The following day, after arriving in Shanghai, Xu Maodong contacted Zhang Yiming.
Zhang Yiming also attended the meeting as scheduled.
"Oh, Mr. Zhang, hello, hello. I've been doing business with Huasuan.com for so long, and I'm so glad to finally have the chance to meet you."
"Haha, Mr. Xu's name is very well-known to me. Under Mr. Xu's leadership, Wowo Group is thriving."
"Hey, come on, let's eat and chat."
Xu Maodong ordered a table full of fancy dishes, including sea cucumber, abalone, Australian shrimp, and king crab, along with two bottles of Moutai.
The two ate and chatted.
"Mr. Zhang, you don't know, Wowo Group only looks glamorous on the surface. In fact, it's all thanks to me burning money. If we want to continue to develop, the only way is to go public and raise funds. But right now we're just a little bit short of market share, so that's why we came to you for help, Mr. Zhang."
"Oh dear, Mr. Xu, this is not a good situation. As you know, Lashou.com holds more than half of the market share in the group buying market. The boss of Lashou.com, Wu Bo, is a good friend of our General Manager Lin. They often go to get foot massages together."
This was the first time Xu Maodong had heard this news. No wonder Lashou.com and Ele.me were on such good terms. Indeed, this meal was well worth it.
Lin Chen: ? ? ?
When did I go to get a foot massage with Wu Bo?
Zhang Yiming: Wu Bo and Zhang Xuhao went to get a foot massage, and you are the largest shareholder of Ele.me. So, rounding it up, isn't it just you and Wu Bo going to get a foot massage?
Lin Chen: Dare you go any further? Can rounding up really give you the feeling of washing feet?
"Mr. Zhang, foot baths aren't very interesting. I'll take you to experience some more interesting services later."
After the meal, Xu Maodong indeed took Zhang Yiming to a club.
Even the private rooms have been booked.
Seeing the gleam in Zhang Yiming's eyes, Xu Maodong was convinced that the man was indeed short of money. This expression was definitely not an act; it was a genuine expression of emotion.
The two sat down in the private room, and the manager walked in.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Zhang? It's been a long time since you've been here."
Upon hearing this, Xu Maodong thought, "That's settled!"
"Ahem, I've been quite busy lately."
Xu Maodong smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, it seems you're a regular customer."
"No, no, I've only come here a few times occasionally with clients."
Zhang Yiming quickly denied it.
"Haha, manager, make the arrangements."
"Alright, bosses, we'll arrange it right away."
Soon, the manager walked in with a row of girls: mature young women, cute little girls, charming young women, female college students...
Although it's unclear whether it's true or not, the outfit immediately makes that connection to the image.
Seeing Zhang Yiming drooling, Xu Maodong knew that the kid was indeed short of money and hadn't had sex in a long time, so his own affairs should be settled.
In the end, the sentimental young woman and the female college student stayed.
Zhang Yiming and Xu Maodong spent the night having a friendly chat with the two girls.
