"Ring ring..."
Just then, Lin Chen's phone rang. Lin Chen looked at it and saw it was Jack Ma. Shouldn't he be hiding in a corner crying right now?
"Hey, Mr. Ma, it's rare for you to call me."
"Mr. Lin, I've come to ask for your help."
"What's wrong?"
"Hey, Lashou.com is just too much! They poached our top merchants from Koubei.com with double the subsidies and who knows what kind of unfair terms they signed. Now those merchants can't come back even if they want to."
Lin Chen's lips twitched. What do you mean by "can't come back even if you want to"? They're just having so much fun they don't want to leave.
"Um, well, let me condemn him for you."
"No, Mr. Lin, aren't we allies? You have to help me get revenge!"
"Huh? When did we become allies?"
"Mr. Lin, didn't you ask me to help you deal with Lashou.com last time?"
"But that's what you owe me. Besides, I said I'd only contact you when I need it. This time it was just the two of you fighting; it has nothing to do with me."
"I……"
Jack Ma thought to himself, "You've explained things so clearly that I'm speechless."
However, he soon realized that Lin Chen was waiting for him to name his price.
"Mr. Lin, I won't say anything more, just name your price."
"Ah? It's not really about the money. It's just that I'm a person with a strong sense of justice, and I can't stand the bullying behavior of Lashou.com. Mr. Ma, what do you think of ten million?"
Jack Ma cursed inwardly: "Ten million it is. As long as it helps me get revenge, the money is well spent."
"Alright, Mr. Ma, just you wait and see."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen looked up at Zhang Yiming.
"Look, there are even people rushing to give out event funds. Old Ma is such a good person."
"Mr. Lin, should we send these merchants back to Koubei.com?"
"Why should we send it back? I never said we were going to send it back."
"But didn't you just receive money from Alibaba?"
"I only agreed to help Alibaba vent its anger, but I didn't agree to send these merchants back to Koubei.com, that would have a different price."
"...It has to be you again." Zhang Yiming silently added in his mind: Heartless young master.
Soon, news broke online that Lashou.com was poaching merchants from Koubei.com with high prices. Some said it was double the subsidy, some said triple the subsidy, and some even said five times the subsidy!
Moreover, with Jack Ma's 10 million yuan in event funding, the news instantly became a hot topic across the entire internet.
This has made the top-tier merchants on Lashou.com uneasy.
On what grounds?
Am I not good enough?
I've already passed the screening process of your two rounds of subsidy policies, so by any measure, I'm among the best, right?
But you actually used the money to poach merchants from other platforms instead of subsidizing us?
As a result, these merchants flocked to Lashou.com's headquarters to file complaints.
As a result, they happened to run into a few merchants poached by Koubei.com, and the two groups started arguing back and forth at Lashou.com's headquarters.
As they argued, someone angrily slammed their hand on the table on the other side of the Lashou.com website.
The guy across from him, a man from Northeast China, wasn't going to put up with him.
"What, you want to fight?"
"Let's do it! Who's afraid of who? What are you looking at?"
"What are you going to do about it? Go ahead and hit me if you dare."
"Let's give it a try."
Then, the two groups started fighting.
They almost smashed up the entire Lashou.com headquarters.
In the end, Wu Bo had no choice but to call the police himself.
After Uncle Hat arrived, he glanced at Wu Bo.
"It's you again?"
Wu Bo: "I don't want to either, but if you don't come soon, my company will go out of business."
Uncle Hat glanced at the messy scene and coughed twice.
"Everyone, come to the door and line up one by one."
Soon, two groups of people stood on either side of the elevator lobby at the entrance, with Wu Bo and the "hat uncles" standing together.
Uncle Hat looked around and pointed to the person who was most seriously injured.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
The man was a former premium merchant on Lashou.com. At this moment, both of his front teeth had been knocked out, his cheeks were swollen, both eyes were bruised, and his nose was bleeding and stuffed with a wad of paper.
He spoke with a lisp, and vaguely recounted the events.
When he mentioned that Lashou.com was unfair and gave those merchants double subsidies, he glared at Wu Bo.
Uncle Hat then asked the person standing opposite if that was the case.
The person standing opposite said disdainfully, "That's because we're worth that price; you're just jealous."
Uncle Hat waved his hand, stopping the man's sarcastic remarks: "Speak properly, stop arguing. This is a business transaction, not illegal, but you vandalizing their company is illegal. You should talk to the boss about compensation."
Wu Bo quickly stepped forward: "No need, no need, this is just a misunderstanding."
Uncle Hat looked at him with a puzzled expression: "You said the same thing last time."
Ultimately, thanks to Wu Bo's understanding, Uncle Hat did not take the two fighting parties back, but only gave them a verbal reprimand.
After the meeting ended, the original group of high-quality merchants from Lashou.com gathered together, still feeling quite indignant.
"Damn it, Lashou.com is such a trash company."
"Oh, really, as the saying goes, a monk from afar is better at chanting scriptures."
“Then let’s go to other platforms and let Lashou.com poach us. We’ll get more subsidies and it’ll be more cost-effective.”
