In fact, Taobao Group Buying and Lashou.com have also noticed the market share issue. After all, there are people monitoring the data every day, and it's easy to find out if you pay close attention.
But Chen Lei didn't care; his goal was to surpass Taobao Group Buying and take second place.
As long as he can achieve this goal, he doesn't care about the market share at all. Otherwise, why would anyone voluntarily give away their company's market share to another company?
Chen Lei doesn't care, but Jack Ma does. Losing so much market share is truly painful for him.
It took a lot of effort and a bit of luck for Tencent to surpass Lashou.com and become number two, but now it has fallen back to number three.
I just don't know why the subsidies from the Latin American Alliance are so high and low. I guess it's because Lashou.com is short of money. But why is Lin Chen going to play with this penniless burden?
I can't figure it out.
Chen Lei: ? ? ? What nonsense are you talking about? It's clearly Lin Chen, that sixth brother, who often doesn't give subsidies, okay?
However, Chen Lei is very happy these past few days. Meituan's subsidies have been stable for a week now. If this situation continues, he will be able to transfer back to headquarters for a promotion and a raise by the end of the year.
Even if it doesn't last until the end of the year, if it drags on for a few more months and widens the gap with Taobao group buying, by then the new game developed by Tencent headquarters will be completed, and the subsidies will be paid out. Then we'll have the money to continue competing with Taobao group buying for subsidies, and that would be a sure thing.
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Meituan has stopped providing subsidies again!
What the hell is wrong with you, Lin Chen?! Can't you just let me be happy for two days?!
Lin Chen said, "If you want to be happy every day, you can, but you'll have to pay extra; that's a separate price."
Jack Ma's side has already started to give up. Since they can't take the top spot in Taobao group buying anyway, and are now taking turns being number two with Lashou.com, why bother with subsidies? Wouldn't it be better for everyone to save some money?
When Alibaba's mobile games are released and we're making a fortune, we'll come back and fight you to the death, we'll crush you with money, Lin... ah, I mean, Lashou.com!
Since Taobao Group Buying has stopped pushing back, the Latin American Alliance has naturally stopped adding subsidies as well.
Chen Lei, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief. Had he completed the task assigned by Boss Ma ahead of schedule? Could he go back early?
So he made a phone call to Brother Ma.
"Mr. Ma, I have accomplished my mission ahead of schedule. I have surpassed Taobao Group Buying and secured the second position in the group buying market."
Little Ma was fine when he didn't receive Chen Lei's call, but his face immediately darkened when he did.
Although he is not in the group-buying market, he receives daily updates on the situation there.
In other words, he hasn't had time lately because he encountered some technical difficulties in developing a new game, which was blocked by the Genshin Impact patent. He is currently using the Tencent Nanshan Pizza Hut team to try to bypass the patent without spending money.
Otherwise, the patent fees could be very expensive. It's absolutely unacceptable to give money to the enemy before the game has even been developed.
But he never expected that Chen Lei would do something like this.
Damn it, is this all you have to boast about? You've hurt the enemy eight hundred while losing a thousand of your own?
When someone takes office, shouldn't the normal thought process be that even if they can't get second place, they should at least maintain their market share?
You, on the other hand, strapped a bomb to your body and went to take down Taobao group buying together, only to have Meituan benefit from it all in the end, right?
If it weren't for the fact that Xingchen Technology hadn't been established when you, Chen Lei, joined the company, I would have suspected that you were a spy sent by Lin Chen.
Brother Ma was so angry he couldn't speak.
Chen Lei initially thought it was a bad signal.
"Hello, hello, hello, Mr. Ma, can you hear me? Huh? I heard the iPhone signal is bad, and it seems it's true. I guess I'll have to buy a Xiaomi phone tomorrow."
This is aiding the enemy!!! This is absolutely aiding the enemy!!!
Pony Ma couldn't hold back any longer, but as the CEO of the number one internet company in China, he was still quite composed. He took a deep breath and said to Chen Lei.
"Chen Lei, now that the work over there is finished, come back to the group tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lei's face lit up with joy. "Hehe, it's all set! I'll get a promotion and a raise, and then I'll buy myself a BMW right away."
After hanging up the phone, Pony Ma threw his phone away, smashing his newly bought iPhone to pieces.
Upon hearing the noise, the secretary quickly pushed open the door and came in.
"Mr. Ma, what happened?"
"I accidentally dropped my phone. Go buy me a better quality phone."
"Okay, Mr. Ma, I'll go right away."
The secretary left Little Ma's office and closed the door behind her.
While waiting for the elevator, the secretary ran into Lion Xiaoshuai, a senior engineer from TX.
"Hey handsome, which phone is the best quality?"
"Xiaomi phones are incredibly durable and drop-resistant. I feel like Xiaomi is the Nokia of the smartphone world."
"Okay, thank you. I'll go to the mobile phone store and buy one."
"Hey, you can't buy them in mobile phone stores. Xiaomi phones are only sold online."
"Oh? But Mr. Ma's phone is broken, and he needs to use it."
"It's okay. There's still plenty of Xiaomi phones in stock right now, and it's delivered by JD Logistics. If you buy one from the official website, it should arrive in Shenzhen this afternoon if you buy it in the morning."
"I don't know how to operate it, could you help me buy it?"
"No problem, I guarantee I'll complete the task."
Looking at his secretary, a woman with a curvaceous figure and a beautiful face, Xiao Shuai patted his chest and agreed.
So, in the afternoon, Pony Ma received a brand new Xiaomi phone.
Pony Ma stared at the Xiaomi phone on the table, lost in thought.
Should we throw them out? Or throw them off the building?
Then look up at your secretary.
Oh well, I shouldn't dampen her enthusiasm for work, she's such a pretty secretary.
"Well done. I didn't explain clearly this morning. My data is all on the iPhone system, so I'll just buy an iPhone."
The secretary thought she had done something wrong and looked at Brother Ma with her big, watery eyes.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ma, I... I'll go and buy you a new one right away."
This...this...who can handle this? Little Ma felt his heart melting.
"It's not your fault, I didn't explain it clearly. How about this, you go buy me a new iPhone after get off work and bring it to my house. This Xiaomi phone won't be wasted, you can use it as your work phone."
"Okay, Mr. Ma, I'm sure I won't make a mistake this time."
"Okay, go ahead."
Watching his secretary, dressed in a black pencil skirt and black stockings, gracefully walk out of the office, Xiao Ma felt that most of his anger had dissipated.
It's true that I chose a good secretary; I have no worries at work now.
