Zhang Yiming's face darkened. Although he was just acting, he was still very unhappy to have been sold out like this.
He was already plotting in his mind how to outmaneuver Wowotuan later.
Two hours later, the sun had slowly risen, and it was no longer dark outside the window.
Wowo's market share has grown by more than 10% and is still slowly rising.
Xu Maodong spent over an hour monitoring Wowo Group and, finding that its market share was still growing, felt relieved and prepared to go home to sleep.
Before leaving, he specifically instructed the CEO to call him immediately if anything happened.
The CEO readily agreed, and then immediately went back to his office sofa to take a nap after Xu Maodong left.
Who can stay up all night? We're not some twenty-something-year-old beast of burden. To become an advertising director and then a CEO, you must be at least 40.
They're old and frail, so naturally their bodies aren't as resilient anymore.
After the two leaders left, the listing team relaxed. Seriously, they thought, "They're only paying me a little money, and they can't even let people sleep?"
Let's take our time. We've done this once before, so it should be much faster this time. Three days should be enough, and if three days isn't enough, then five days will do. If we can finish all these materials in five days, we'll be an industry leader, okay?
So, some people dozed off, while others watched pretty girls on Panda TV.
It's just like a typical day for a working person to slack off.
Lin Chen figured Xu Maodong should have already gone back to sleep.
"Mr. Zhang, let's begin."
"Okay, Mr. Lin."
At six o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yiming immediately ordered that the promotion coefficient of Wowo Group be reduced to the lowest level. Don't ask why, the answer is that he had discovered non-compliant operations in time.
At the same time, the coefficients for Lashou.com and Meituan were increased, with Lashou.com having the highest coefficient, followed by Meituan.
Lashou.com and Meituan quickly followed suit, launching various activities and subsidy policies.
By 8 a.m., some of the shopkeepers and workers had gotten up.
I habitually picked up my phone to browse the Huasuan.com app, planning to buy breakfast through a group deal.
"Huh? Why are the discounted packages from WowoTuan gone today? But Lashou.com has an even cheaper one, so let's go with Lashou.com."
This situation is happening in many places at the same time.
Correspondingly, market share also began to reverse, with Wowo's market share gradually declining, while Lashou and Meituan's market share grew slowly.
When Wowo Group's CEO woke up, it was almost 10 o'clock. Fortunately, Xu Maodong hadn't arrived yet.
When he arrived at the listing team, he found that everyone on the team had dark circles under their eyes, which meant that they had really been working all the time and hadn't been slacking off.
IPO team: We're professionals at slacking off.
So, the CEO went to the restroom to wash his face, then went downstairs to have breakfast. While fantasizing about the wonderful life he would have after the company went public—buying a car, a house, and enjoying the company of young models—he ate soy milk and fried dough sticks with a wide grin on his face.
The breakfast shop owner looked at the man and sighed. "Oh well, this breakfast order is gone again. This guy is probably another idiot who got fired from some company. Oh well, consider it an act of charity."
To the breakfast shop owner's surprise, the man finished eating and handed over a hundred-yuan bill, saying generously, "Keep the change."
Watching him leave, the breakfast shop owner's eyes were filled with pity. Oh no, not only was he fired, but he'd gone mad! But he didn't hesitate to stuff the money into his pocket.
After returning to his office, the CEO glanced at the real-time market share report.
I almost thought I was seeing things when I looked. How come it's only 9.8%? Did it not refresh?
Pressing F5 several times did not raise the price; instead, it slowly decreased.
Good heavens, something terrible has happened.
However, as a skilled and capable employee, you must not report everything to your boss. You must first understand the cause and effect. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing if you don't know anything when your boss asks you questions.
So the CEO started talking to his colleagues in the technology department and began checking the market share data curves.
It was found that the growth continued until after 6 a.m., reaching a peak of 10.9%.
However, it then began to decline slowly, and now it's only 9.7%, while Lashou.com, on the other hand, has been making great strides.
Only then did the CEO pick up the phone and call Xu Maodong.
"Mr. Xu, something terrible has happened!"
Huh? This damned sense of familiarity made Xu Maodong, who was still half asleep, think he was dreaming.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, I realized that I was on the phone.
"What happened?"
"Mr. Xu, the market share growth rate has dropped."
"What? How could it possibly drop? Didn't we calculate it before? Even if the promotion coefficient were restored to its previous level, it shouldn't drop."
"I don't know either, it's already dropped to 9.7%."
"I'll come to the company right now."
Xu Maodong got up immediately, without even washing his face or eating breakfast, and drove to the company.
As it turns out, the CEO is living a very sophisticated life.
When I joined the company, the market share growth rate had already dropped to 9.6%.
"When did it start falling out?"
"Uh, it's a little after 6 a.m.
"Then why did you only notify me at eleven o'clock?"
"Oh... I thought it was normal fluctuation; it was still above 10% back then."
"Damn it, that bastard Zhang Yiming must have confessed everything and Huasuan.com has patched the loopholes. We can't panic right now. I'll call and ask. We are normal paying users, and we must protect our legal rights."
"Beep beep beep... Hello, Mr. Lin, this is Xu Maodong from Wowo Group."
"Oh, Mr. Xu, that's perfect. I was going to come looking for you anyway. Do you know how much damage your bribery of my employees has caused to the reputation of our Huasuan.com? Now many group-buying platforms are demanding refunds. Let's talk about compensation."
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm in the elevator. The signal is a bit weak, so I'll hang up now."
Xu Maodong hung up the phone, his face turning red and then green.
He really can't reason with this, since he's an illegal beneficiary, and now he's trying to get Huasuan.com to protect his illegal rights? That's ridiculous.
He just didn't expect Zhang Yiming to confess so quickly. Didn't this kid say he was taking leave and wouldn't be discovered for a while?
Even if you're caught, you can't confess so quickly. Where's your manly backbone?
Sure enough, a young man with no beard is unreliable.
But instead of calling Lin Chen, Lin Chen kept calling him.
At first, Xu Maodong pretended not to see it, but later he couldn't take it anymore and simply turned off his phone.
