"What's the solution? Tell me quickly."
“Our current problem is that the subsidy reduction is not smooth enough. So we need to further differentiate the existing merchants, further subdivide the original high-quality merchants, fully subscribe to the highest quality merchants, and reduce the subsidies of the slightly lower quality merchants. Wouldn’t this create a gradual reduction?”
"Hey, you're a fucking genius!"
The senior executives also thought the idea was good, so it was unanimously approved.
On the third day, Lashou.com updated its subsidy announcement again, which essentially increased the weight of transaction volume and reviews, thus reducing subsidies for some merchants in a tiered manner.
They publicly stated that the previous subsidy announcement was sent out incorrectly, due to an intern's mistake, and that the intern has since been dismissed.
So, the top-performing merchants were satisfied. Right? This is the kind of subsidy and treatment a top-performing merchant should receive.
Even the worst batch of merchants were satisfied. Little Wu, you're so sensible!
Only the merchants in the middle were furious. They had originally enjoyed the full-amount subsidy, but how did things change like this?
They also tried contacting Lashou.com's customer service.
But the customer service was excellent; they immediately greeted me with, "Hello sir, how can I help you?"
After you've given them your feedback, they'll say, "I'm sorry, we can't help you with this right now."
These merchants are really something else! @#￥%%……
Lin Chen looked at the announcement that Lashou.com had just released and smiled, saying to Zhang Yiming, "Mr. Zhang, look, Lashou.com is really a genius, they actually came up with such a method."
Zhang Yiming initially thought this method was quite good, as it resolved Lashou.com's current crisis in one fell swoop.
Seeing Lin Chen's expression, he knew that his young boss had already come up with a cunning plan, so he just smiled and remained silent.
"Mr. Zhang, go and contact Wang Xing again, and ask him to do what he did last time: screen the merchants that were rejected by Lashou.com this time, and sign the truly high-quality ones."
Sure enough, although he shouldn't think that way, Zhang Yiming really wanted to know if his boss had grown up eating squid, otherwise why did he feel that his heart was black?
However, having such a person as my boss seems pretty good, hehehe.
Soon, Wang Xing's side took action again, sending people to contact the merchants who had been eliminated by Lashou.com's subsidy policy.
These merchants already harbored resentment towards Lashou.com, so when Meituan beckoned, they immediately followed Meituan without the slightest hesitation.
When the marketing director of Lashou.com heard the news, he opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time. Finally, he burst out with a classic Chinese exclamation.
C! ! ! Ah! ! ! O! ! !
After hearing the marketing director's report, Wu Bo felt a toothache. This was such a cunning scheme; it was definitely Lin Chen's doing.
Wu Bo wasn't bothered by the fact that his merchants were poached for the first time. These were mostly merchants with low transaction volumes, and he didn't have the money to subsidize so many merchants anyway. So, he figured it was fine if Meituan poached a batch of them.
But this time they were all high-quality merchants. Well, actually, they were forced out by themselves. Who was the one who came up with that piece of crap yesterday?
Wu Bo looked at the marketing director with a constipated expression.
The marketing director was also helpless. Who would have thought that Meituan would be so shameless? Not content with poaching him once, they came back a second time.
Moreover, Wu Bo also discovered that after having its merchants poached twice, Lashou.com's market share dropped from first to second place, and it had been overtaken by Meituan.
He suddenly felt relieved. Luckily, he sold Lashou.com early. If Lin Chen had sold it sooner, he might not have been able to get the same price.
However, as a highly paid employee, I still have to quickly shift the blame when faced with this situation.
So, Wu Bo composed himself, picked up the phone, and called Brother Ma.
As soon as the call connected, Wu Bo burst into tears.
"Mr. Ma, it's my fault for being incompetent. I couldn't hold onto the number one position, but I really have no money left."
She talked for about ten minutes.
Little Ma finally understood what Wu Bo was talking about from these words.
"Are you saying that because I didn't give you the subsidy these past few days, Meituan snatched your number one market share?"
"Forehead……"
Wu Bo thought to himself, "Actually, Mr. Ma, your reading comprehension doesn't need to be so good. It's okay."
Pony Ma was also speechless, wanting to curse but not knowing what to say. When he acquired Lashou.com, he said that Tencent had money and technology.
But less than two months later, the subsidies stopped. However, Genshin Impact was really profitable. Group buying requires burning money and providing subsidies to grab market share, while making games is a money-making venture, so the priority is self-evident.
So, he clung to a sliver of hope that Lin Chen wouldn't discover so quickly that he had poured all of the company's resources into game development.
But how could such a big move by Tencent go unnoticed by those with ulterior motives?
Fortunately, we're still in second place, so there's still a chance.
Little Ma calculated the timeline and figured the game department should be close to completion; it should be finished in about half a month.
He rubbed his temples and said, "Alright, hold onto the rest of these markets for me. I'll arrange the subsidies for you as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll do my best!"
After hanging up the phone, Wu Bo knew that the blame had been shifted, and no matter who ultimately bore the responsibility, it wouldn't fall back on him.
Wow, I was so clever.
On the other hand, Jack Ma also saw the data report showing that Meituan had become the number one group-buying platform.
"Huh? What's going on? When did Lin Chen start taking over the market? Why didn't he call me?"
Jack Ma had someone check Meituan's recent major moves.
It turned out that Meituan took advantage of the insufficient subsidies from Lashou.com to poach two waves of merchants.
Isn't Kelashou.com backed by Tencent? How could Tencent possibly be short of money?
So he had someone investigate, and they found out that the trigger for this war was actually the popular mobile game "Genshin Impact: Prequel - Demon War" recently released by StarCraft Technology.
This game quickly ignited the mobile game market upon its release, raking in huge profits.
When Jack Ma saw the news about making 300 million yuan in a single day, his eyes nearly popped out of his head. It's a pity that Alibaba doesn't have a mobile game business, otherwise he probably would have copied the game like Tony Ma.
So Tony Ma used the money to develop games, which is why he stopped subsidizing Lashou.com.
Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of Lin Gou, these outrageous moves are like an old sow wearing a bra, one after another.
