Zhang Yong continued.
"Not only that, I also heard that Huasuan.com is still sending push notifications to users asking our customer service how to redeem coupons with no minimum spend. They won't be able to get away with it then."
Jack Ma almost choked on his breath and slumped into his executive chair.
That damn Lin Chen, if things really continue like this, there will be far more people coming to Taobao to redeem coupons than you can imagine.
In the office, both Jack Ma and Daniel Zhang remained silent.
Lin Chen's move to turn the tables put Ali in a very difficult position.
The only options now are to bleed money and issue billions of yuan in coupons, hoping that the proportion of users who actually use them is not high.
Alternatively, they could collaborate with Lin Chen to obtain real data on Pinduoduo's "red envelope" promotions for subsidies.
However, the second option clearly gives Lin Chen the opportunity to make exorbitant demands; otherwise, why would he give you the data?
Taobao was clearly the one targeting others, but now they've been turned on. Do you think you can get them to help you by saying a few nice words? That's just wishful thinking.
Jack Ma asked himself, if it were him, even if the opponent offered more money, he might not be willing to let go of this opportunity to severely damage the opponent.
It wasn't until an hour later that Zhang Yong sighed and spoke.
"Mr. Ma, it seems we'll have to bow down to Lin Chen again this time, and he might not even be willing to help."
When Jack Ma heard the word "again," his lips twitched. It was so embarrassing; how many times had this happened already?
However, it seems there really aren't any other good solutions.
Face? What's face worth compared to billions?
"Ahem, Mr. Zhang, you and Lin Chen are quite close, why don't you give him a call?"
"I……"
Zhang Yong really wanted to say "Fuck you," but he couldn't. This time, whether for the company or for himself, he had to make this call.
"Beep beep beep..."
"Hey, Yong-ge, it's been so long since you called me."
"Ahem, Brother Lin, we're already so familiar with each other, so I'll get straight to the point. I'm calling you today because I want your help. Please be lenient this time."
"Brother Yong, what are you saying? I don't understand. It doesn't seem like I started it, right?"
"Yes, I know that we, Taobao, made a mistake this time. I apologize to you in advance, but we really admit defeat this time. You can name your conditions, as long as they are not too unreasonable, we can agree to them."
Having said all that, Lin Chen knew that Taobao had truly backed down this time.
"Brother Yong, you should give the phone to Boss Ma. You can't make the decisions after this."
Zhang Yong paused for a moment, then handed the phone to Jack Ma.
Jack Ma took the phone with a puzzled look.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, this is Jack Ma."
"Mr. Ma, do you want the user data from Pinduoduo's red envelope giveaway?"
"Yes, name your price."
"I want to join Lashou.com."
"Um?"
Jack Ma initially thought Lin Chen had lost his mind, but after a moment's thought, he realized that Lin Chen wanted to cooperate with him in the group-buying market to eliminate Tencent Big Data and acquire Lashou.com.
"You get six, I get four."
"I'll give you eight, you get two, otherwise I won't help you this time."
Jack Ma hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.
"Okay, it's settled then. Just let me know if there are any further plans."
"make a deal."
In just a few words, the two giants of the group-buying market reached a cooperation agreement, thus setting off a group-buying war that would affect the whole country. Huasuan.com and Taobao Big Data are about to join forces to fight against Tencent Big Data.
Zhang Yong was completely confused. What were these two people talking about?
What do you mean by "you get six and I get four"? It makes Lashou.com seem like a steamed bun bought from a breakfast shop, which you can just break apart at will.
After hanging up the phone, Jack Ma said to Zhang Yong.
"Mr. Zhang, please coordinate with Lin Chen later. He will send over the user data for Pinduoduo's red envelope giveaway."
"Mr. Ma, is it settled already? Taobao doesn't have to contribute anything?"
"Heh, you don't have to pay anything? You're dreaming. Lin Chen is cunning and treacherous. When he makes his move against TX Big Data, he'll definitely take advantage of the situation and scam us too."
"Huh? How is this related to Tencent Big Data again?"
Jack Ma glanced at him, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.
"Never mind, go back and figure it out yourself."
Zhang Yong returned to his office and kept thinking about this matter.
It wasn't until he got off work that he figured out what kind of deal the two had made.
Then, he sighed dejectedly, recalling the first time he met Lin Chen, when Lin Chen was just a naive little website owner in front of him.
And now? The other party is already fighting against figures like Jack Ma and Tony Ma from afar, and they can't even understand their conversations anymore.
Alas, it's true that the new generation surpasses the old, and the old generation dies on the beach.
In fact, Lin Chen did not expect that such a simple move would earn him such a cooperation opportunity from Jack Ma.
Although it's called a collaboration, because of this incident, Taobao's big data platform will definitely play a pioneering role, while we ourselves will stay behind.
We need to think of a way to not only cripple Tencent's big data, but also severely damage Taobao's big data.
It's unrealistic to completely eliminate either of them. Both Alibaba and Tencent are internet giants in China with power and influence. Unless they themselves decide to withdraw from the project, no one can force either of them to abandon the big data project.
Poor Wu Bo was unaware that even though he was protected by Little Ma, Lin Chen still immediately turned his attention to him.
Wu Bo, who was traveling in Dongguan, suddenly shivered.
Hmm? What's going on? Could it be that I've been too tired lately and weakened my body? But this place is too much for any man to handle. Oh well, I'll just make myself a cup of goji berry tea when I get home tonight.
As time went by, Huasuan.com's joint shopping festival and the Double Eleven promotional policies of major online shopping platforms were released one after another.
Huasuan.com will also collect the rules as soon as possible, so that it can calculate the discounts and recommend them to users more quickly.
Pinduoduo's "cut red envelope" promotion continues to intensify as Double Eleven approaches.
Not only can you get cash, but also large coupons from major brands, even free coupons for Heytea, discount coupons for Wanda Cinemas, Meituan coupons, Ele.me coupons, and sexy autographed photos of beautiful female anchors from Panda TV...
Ahem, Lin Chen swears that this last one wasn't his idea. He asked netizens on Weibo what they wanted, and their requests had nothing to do with him.
Moreover, he thoughtfully preserved those explicit photos to prevent them from leaking and causing a negative impact on netizens.
Netizens: ??? Lin Gou, you really are a dog!
