Chapter 251 I was just a little more flexible with my bottom line.



"Yes, you're right. We need to hurry up and beat him up. Otherwise, it won't be appropriate for me to beat his father in front of my grandson when I become a grandmother."

The fat man, who was far away in America, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

"What's wrong?" Senior Yan asked with concern.

"It's nothing, it's probably just because the weather has gotten colder lately."

"Then I'll make you some goji berries tomorrow. It's getting late, let's go to sleep."

The fat man glanced at the time on his phone. It was indeed late, already 2 a.m., so why was he still awake?

It was because the battle had just ended, and he was sitting on the sofa enjoying some quiet time.

Going to sleep now?

Excuse me, is this sedative?

I've been with Meidi for about half a year and I've already lost four or five pounds.

However, the fat guy nodded, stood up from the sofa, and went to sleep with Senior Yan.

Let's just consider it a way to lose weight.

Two days later, the operations director of Koubei.com finally figured out what had happened.

He rushed over to report to Jack Ma. When Jack Ma heard that two groups had fought at the Lashou.com headquarters and smashed half of the headquarters, he couldn't stop laughing.

Then, when he heard that the top merchants from Lashou.com had gone to Meituan to sign contracts, he opened his mouth wide in disbelief.

"What? What did you say? They went to Meituan like lambs to the slaughter?"

"Yes...yes."

"Could this be any more fake? Our top merchants were poached by Lashou.com with double subsidies, and Lashou.com's top merchants went to Meituan without asking for a single penny?"

To be honest, while this sounds satisfying and cathartic, Jack Ma is also jealous.

Why don't you come to our Koubei.com?

Is our reputation website bad?

Is it because our Koubei.com doesn't have enough money?

Is our reputation website not big enough?

Okay, yes, Koubei.com isn't big enough, but big doesn't necessarily mean good; it also needs to be sustainable!

With Alibaba backing it up, Koubei's sustainability is definitely...maybe...probably...possibly stronger than Meituan's.

So, it seems that only the incident where Koubei.com was injured was actually achieved, as Koubei.com's merchants went to Lashou.com, and Lashou.com's merchants went to Meituan.

Waaaaah, I already spent ten million, the damage is doubled!

No, things can't just end like this. But after thinking about it, Jack Ma realized that if he let Lin Chen poach those merchants who had previously jumped ship to Lashou.com, they would probably all end up being poached by Lin Chen to Meituan.

Lin Chen has absolutely no bottom line when it comes to doing business.

Lin Chen: I'll sue you for defamation! I just loosened my bottom line a little!

Therefore, Jack Ma decided to get straight to the point and talk to Lin Chen about how much share he wanted, and let him name his price.

Yes, let's do it that way, otherwise, like this time, ten million will be wasted.

Jack Ma picked up the phone, took a deep breath, and called Lin Chen.

"Huh? Why isn't anyone answering the phone?"

I called again, but still no one answered.

At this moment, Lin Chen was taking his final exams.

Although he hasn't attended any classes this semester, he knows all the material, so the exam will be a breeze.

What Lin Chen didn't know was that Principal Chen had already spoken with all the teachers, and that he would still be given a passing grade even if Lin Chen didn't come.

Lin Chen is now a star entrepreneur at his school. He is only a sophomore, but his company has already become a leading internet company in Shanghai. Looking at the whole country, it is already on par with BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent).

How could such an outstanding alumnus have a history of failing courses?

Otherwise, when conducting interviews, negative news might emerge about how someone could succeed without studying hard, which would be very bad.

Otherwise, look at America, those entrepreneurs who dropped out of college, their history of dropping out of school is exaggerated into something incredible.

Although the original intention may have been to express that these entrepreneurs were geniuses, in the end, as the story spread, it became an excuse for some rebellious students.

“Look at Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg. They didn’t finish college, but they still became some of the richest people in the world.”

Indeed, geniuses do exist in this world, but out of billions of people globally, only a handful can be counted on one hand.

Moreover, all of these people achieved fame at a young age, demonstrating exceptional talent and being hailed as child prodigies. By the time they entered university, they had already founded their own companies and were making money.

They dropped out of school simply because they felt they didn't have enough time.

For the vast majority of people, a university degree is still a stepping stone to open the door to society.

In his previous life, Lin Chen was already 35 years old. After experiencing the trials of society, he was very clear about the importance of a university degree. It had nothing to do with how much money he had. Even if he wanted to brag to the rich in the future, it would still be a kind of capital.

After finishing the exam, Lin Chen went to the School of Economics. Su Xiaowan and the others were still taking their exams, so Lin Chen waited downstairs.

I took out my phone and turned it on. There were several missed calls, all from Jack Ma.

Lin Chen was completely bewildered. What was going on? Did he feel he had lost out? Did he want his ten million back? Heh, money that went into my pocket, how could I possibly give it back to you?

However, Lin Chen still called back.

"Hello, Mr. Ma, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Lin, why has your phone been off? I've called you several times already."

"I'm taking final exams, so of course my phone has to be off."

"Final exams..." Jack Ma almost forgot that this guy was still a college student. At this moment, he really wanted to go to Lin Chen's school and ask, "How exactly do you produce such a heartless college student? What's wrong with education these days? Can you teach me a thing or two?"

"Ahem, Mr. Lin, let me get straight to the point. I want to buy some market share for Koubei.com, otherwise I feel that Koubei.com is about to lose its third position. Name your price."

"Mr. Ma, why would I sell Koubei.com if there's a market for it? I already have Meituan."

"Ah..." This made Jack Ma choke for a moment. Yes, why sell to him when there's a market for it? He needs it himself.

After thinking for a moment, he continued.

"Ahem, Mr. Lin, aren't we allies? If Koubei.com's market share is too low, it won't be good for us to provide assistance."

"Hmm, you make a good point. Well then, Mr. Ma, I won't try to cheat you. I'll talk about the price with you when there's an opportunity. Otherwise, there's no point in talking about the price now, since I don't know how much market share I can sell to you."

"Alright, it's settled then."

After hanging up the phone, Jack Ma suddenly slammed his hand on the table.

"Oh no, how can I let him negotiate the price later? He'll definitely try to raise the price on the spot. Even if it's a little more expensive now, I should have agreed on the price beforehand."

Jack Ma immediately called back, but Lin Chen's phone went unanswered.
