Zhang Yiming was stunned after hearing what the man said.
No, we're planning to poach merchants from Lashou.com, but we haven't started yet.
However, he then wondered if these were the merchants that Lashou.com had initially not intended to subsidize.
So he tentatively asked, "May I ask which shops you all own?"
Everyone then announced the name of the shop.
Zhang Yiming had become very familiar with these high-quality merchants on Lashou.com during this period. Upon hearing this, he realized that these were all the top merchants on Lashou.com.
Suppressing his excitement, Zhang Yiming spoke.
"Dear bosses, Meituan welcomes you to join us. We provide subsidies based on your order volume. For each completed order, you will receive a subsidy. Of course, if the order is a five-star review, the subsidy will be increased by an additional 10%. However, if there are too many negative reviews or if we discover any fraudulent orders, we reserve the right to cancel all subsidies."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. This policy was relatively fair. In fact, they were well aware of the practice of order-brushing, but they disdained to do it.
They felt that their group-buying packages were affordable, tasted good, and the store service was also good, so why did they need to hire people to place fake orders? Wouldn't it be better to use the money from the fake orders to subsidize consumers?
Meituan's subsidy policy actually cares more about the positive review rate. If there are too many negative reviews, even if your store has a high sales volume, there is something fishy going on.
Meituan needs truly high-quality merchants so that consumers feel they've gotten great value for their money, leaving them satisfied.
And that's exactly the kind of platform they need!
In comparison, Lashou.com is utter garbage.
The two parties hit it off immediately and signed an exclusive agreement.
After these people left, Zhang Yiming was still a little stunned. This... this is how they poached one of Lashou.com's top merchants? And the other party even offered themselves up?
If this were told to others, no one would believe it.
Zhang Yiming shook his head and took the stack of contracts to report to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen was also stunned after hearing this.
"What exactly happened? What heinous thing did Wu Bo do?"
Zhang Yiming said, "I don't know either. Early this morning, the receptionist told me that a large group of people came to the company and said they wanted to join Meituan."
"Forget about it, as long as it's confirmed to be a high-quality merchant, we're going to make a killing. Let's tell Wang Xing this good news, I think he'll be so happy he'll fly."
Indeed, after hearing the news, Wang Xing laughed heartily for three minutes in his office, causing the employees outside to think that their boss had gone mad and they were all ready to run away.
Three minutes later, Wang Xing slammed open the office door and loudly announced to the outside world.
"Dear colleagues, everyone will receive a bonus of one thousand yuan. I will notify the finance department to transfer it to your salary cards shortly. Today is a good day; all your wishes will come true..."
"Yay! Long live the boss!"
With bonuses being given out, who cares if the boss is crazy? If the crazier the boss is, the more bonuses they give out, then it's better for them to be a little crazy.
Lin Chen was humming a little tune in his office when he picked up the phone and called Jack Ma.
"Hey, Mr. Ma."
"Mr. Lin, do you have a plan to deal with Lashou.com? My sword is itching to be used."
"Plan? No need for a plan, I've already avenged you."
"Huh? So fast?"
"Yes, I've already poached a large number of top-quality merchants from Lashou.com. Wu Bo is probably jumping up and down in his office right now."
"They dug it up? Where did they dig it? I didn't see it."
"What are you thinking? Of course, you're thinking about poaching Meituan."
"No, Mr. Lin, I..."
"Just tell me, did I stand up for you?"
"You've vented your anger, but..."
"That settles the matter, doesn't it? Alright, I won't bother you any longer, Mr. Ma. It's been a pleasure doing business with you. Please contact me again if you need any more venting services like this."
"I……"
Before Jack Ma could finish a single sentence, Lin Chen hung up the phone.
Staring at the black screen of the phone, Jack Ma didn't react for a moment, and then he started cursing.
He spent ten million just to vent his anger? He wanted to bring all those merchants back, okay? This Lin dog is really too much of a scoundrel.
He called over the operations director of Koubei.com.
"Did you know that all the merchants who left our Koubei.com have now gone to Meituan?"
"No? They're still holding hands."
"Huh? Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure. I just checked this morning."
Jack Ma looked puzzled. Why would Lin Chen call him? Someone of Lin Chen's status wouldn't joke around with him, would he?
Has anything happened on Lashou.com recently?
"That's true. Yesterday, a fight broke out at the headquarters of Lashou.com. I heard the headquarters was smashed."
Jack Ma raised an eyebrow, his intuition telling him it was definitely related to this: "Go and investigate the specifics. Also, check if this has anything to do with Meituan."
"Okay, Mr. Ma."
On the other side, Lin Chen hung up on Jack Ma in a flash, and as soon as he put down his phone, it rang again.
"Hey, Mr. Ma, is there anything else?"
"What Mr. Ma? I'm your mother."
"Hey, why are you swearing...wait, that's not right."
Lin Chen picked up the phone next to his ear and glanced at it; it really was his own mother.
"Hehe, Mom, I wasn't paying attention just now. I thought it was someone else."
"You brat, Triumph's mom wants to talk to you."
The person on the other end of the phone was different.
"Hello, Xiaochen, this is Kaixuan's mother."
Hello, Auntie.
"It's like this, Kaixuan hasn't been home for half a year. I heard from him that you sent him on a business trip to Meidi's place?"
"Uh, right, they went to Meidi's place."
“Oh, Xiao Chen, I’ve seen news reports about shootings happening all the time in America. It’s so chaotic. I’m really worried about Kai Xuan. You and Kai Xuan grew up together. I know you want to train him, but could you please not go to America? It’s fine if he stays in China. I don’t want to be all alone during the New Year.”
"Auntie, Kaixuan will definitely be back for the New Year. In fact, maybe two people will go and three will come back."
"Huh? Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Didn't Kaixuan tell you? He went on a business trip to America with his girlfriend."
"That brat! No wonder he never answers the phone. Turns out he's forgotten his mother now that he has a wife. I'll give him a good beating when he gets back."
Lin Chen silently prayed for the fat man in his heart, and then continued.
"What? He didn't even tell you, Auntie. When you hit him, don't hold back. I'll hold him down for you, and you can beat him as hard as you want. If you don't beat him now, you might not have another chance later."
