Therefore, some customers will still be attracted by the discounts and subsidies offered by Lashou.com and Meituan.
Lin Chen's eyes lit up when he saw these new users.
These are all new users! The door to great deals is always open, and we're welcoming you with open arms.
Lin Chen approached Zhang Yiming and asked, "Do you know the development manager at Meituan?"
"I know him; we used to be colleagues."
"Okay, then you should tell Meituan to add a discount reminder to all their group-buying links, so that if you are redirected from Huasuan.com, Huasuan.com will give you a 5 yuan no-minimum-spend coupon from Meituan."
"OK."
This feature is very simple, and Meituan updated it that same evening.
Xiao Shuai, who works at Alibaba, has been so busy that he hasn't had dinner yet. He finally finished his work and is getting ready to go home.
As I walked downstairs from the company building, I ran into Xiaomei, who had also just finished get off work.
"Xiaomei, what a coincidence! Are you working overtime too?"
"Yes, it's exhausting. There's always work to be done every day."
As she spoke, Xiaomei stretched.
Looking at Xiao Mei's graceful figure and cute face, Xiao Shuai had a sudden idea and said, "Let me treat you to dinner. I happen to know a pretty good Japanese restaurant nearby."
"Oh? No, no, Japanese food is too expensive."
"It's not expensive, there are group deals available."
Xiao Shuai took out his phone, opened the Taobao Big Data APP, and searched for that Japanese restaurant. Sure enough, there was a group-buying deal for two people, and it was even from Meituan.
"See, it's quite a good deal, isn't it?"
"Wow, it's so much cheaper!"
"Then I'll join the group."
"Thank you, handsome. I'll go to the restroom now."
Xiao Mei went to the restroom, and Xiao Shuai clicked the link to be redirected to the Meituan APP. Just as Xiao Shuai was about to place an order, he suddenly saw a small reminder next to the order button.
"By clicking through Huasuan.com, you can get a free five-yuan coupon with no minimum spend."
Huh? It's even five yuan cheaper!
Xiao Shuai had never used websites like Huasuan.com before, but recently Jack Ma launched Taobao Big Data, and as an Alibaba employee, he felt he had to support it, so he started using it.
Once you start using it, you just can't stop.
Everything I buy is cheaper than what I used to buy. It feels so great!
Faced with the temptation of this five-yuan no-minimum-spend coupon, Xiao Shuai hesitated. "But, Mr. Ma Yun, I'll just use it this once, just this once!"
So, Xiao Shuai decisively downloaded the Huasuan.com app. Luckily, he was still downstairs in the company building, connected to the company's WiFi, so he didn't have to use any data.
After installation, Xiao Shuai opened the Huasuan.com app, registered, found the group-buying deal for the Japanese restaurant, clicked to be redirected to Meituan to place an order, and indeed got a direct discount of five yuan.
Wow, that's great! I've saved money on breakfast tomorrow. o(￣▽￣)d
Xiao Shuai and Xiao Mei enjoyed their meal very much and got along very well.
"Xiaomei, how about we go see a movie later?"
"OK."
"Okay, let's go over there now. I'll go buy the movie tickets."
"You can just buy it on Huasuan.com. Huasuan.com offers Wanda Cinema movie tickets directly, and they're even cheaper there."
"oh?"
Xiao Shuai opened the Huasuan.com app again, having long forgotten about the promise made before the meal that it would only be used once.
Xiao Shuai had a great evening. After checking his spending records, he discovered that the cost of the meal and the movie was actually cheaper than the price of a two-person set meal at a Japanese restaurant before any discounts.
Huashuan.com is awesome! (＾－＾)V
It's a pity that while watching the movie, Xiao Shuai secretly opened his phone and searched on Huasuan.com, but found that he couldn't book a hotel directly.
After all, if you book a hotel room through a group-buying deal, what if you go to the hotel and it turns out there are no rooms available?
The passion that had just been ignited might have dissipated completely, and then the girl would go straight home.
So...Mr. Lin, when will you make the arrangements?
Lin Chen: No, I won't allow it!
Lin Chen's shrewd move brought a sudden influx of new users to Huasuan.com and also boosted Meituan's market share, killing two birds with one stone.
Jack Ma was unaware of Lin Chen's shady dealings at first, since he didn't use group buying. It wasn't until he overheard some employees talking about it while riding an elevator that he found out.
Then he went back to his office, downloaded Meituan on the spot, and tested it out.
When he saw the message, "By clicking through Huasuan.com, you can get a free five-yuan coupon with no minimum spend," he was so angry he almost vomited blood.
You spent five yuan to earn two views from me? Shameless brat, shameless brat indeed.
Lin Chen: Huh? It might be more than twice.
Jack Ma called Zhang Yong over, cursing Lin Chen for being shameless while asking Zhang Yong if he had any ideas on how to deal with the situation.
"Um, Mr. Ma, how about we issue subsidy vouchers too?"
"How are we supposed to send them? Lin Chen is directing us to Meituan's customers, and then from Meituan to Huasuan.com. We don't have our own online shopping platform, so tell me, who's going to send us these kinds of ads?"
"You can try WowoTuan. WowoTuan has a much larger market share than Meituan."
"Are you drunk? WowoTuan has fallen out with Huasuan.com, so how come they're driving users from Huasuan.com to us?"
"Yeah...that's true too."
"How about we go to Lashou.com?"
"This is something we can give a try. Although it's said that Wu Bo and Lin Chen from Lashou.com have a good relationship, in business, no matter how good the relationship is, it's not as important as profit. Do you have Wu Bo's contact information?"
"Yes, when we were preparing to work on Taobao's big data, I had already collected the contact information of the heads of several major group-buying websites in China, since we might have business dealings with them in the future."
"General Manager Zhang is indeed thorough in his work."
Jack Ma dialed Wu Bo's number.
"Hello, Mr. Wu? This is Jack Ma from Alibaba."
"Oh? Mr. Ma? I've heard so much about you."
"Haha, Mr. Wu, you're too kind. It's like this, Mr. Wu, I'm calling today to discuss a collaboration with you."
"What kind of cooperation?"
"Let's work together to deal with Huasuan.com..."
Before Jack Ma could finish speaking, Wu Bo hung up the phone.
Looking at his phone, Wu Bo said to Zhang Xuhao, who was washing his feet with him, "Listen to this, is this guy out of his mind? He wants to ask me to go and mess with Lin Chen."
Zhang Xuhao closed his eyes comfortably and asked, "Who is it?"
"Jack Ma".
"What?!" Zhang Xuhao, who had been lying down, sat up abruptly.
"Jack Ma of Alibaba, the number one conman in the Chinese internet industry, let me tell you, he has a really good mouth, a natural orator."
"No, Apo, logically speaking, shouldn't you be excited when a big shot like Jack Ma asks you to cooperate?"
"Why would I get excited? If it were anything else, I might get excited, but this is about Lin Chen. That Lin Chen is full of bad ideas. Besides, even Jack Ma has already suffered at his hands. How can I trust him?"
