Just then, Lin Chen's phone rang.
"Hey, Jun-ge, what's up?"
"Brother Lin, I'd like to discuss something with you. When are we planning to hold Xiaomi's new product launch event for the first half of the year? My initial idea is May 20th or June 18th."
Lin Chen thought for a moment and then answered.
"How about this: we hold a new product launch on May 20th, and then sell it on June 18th? I happen to be working on marketing campaigns for June 18th."
"That works too, we can also ride the wave of the 618 shopping festival."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen said to Zhang Yiming.
"We will also include Xiaomi's new products in this year's 618 promotion plan."
"Oh? Boss? What new products is Xiaomi planning to release this time?"
"Xiaomi phone 2, Xiaomi washing machine, Xiaomi air conditioner, Xiaomi refrigerator."
"Um, boss, I have a feeling you're going to transform Mr. Lei from a tech tycoon into a home appliance tycoon?"
"Nonsense, we call this smart home, it's totally high-tech."
"Okay, you're the boss, you're right. I'll go and refine the proposal again."
"Okay, by the way, remember to bring me along next time you have a team building activity."
"Uh, hehe, definitely, definitely."
After Zhang Yiming walked out of Lin Chen's office, he glanced at An Rou's office next door, shuddered, and thought, "Forget it, if we bring you along, our team building activity will lose its soul."
Soon after, Xingchen Technology's official Weibo account released its 618 promotion plan.
Not only are there products from major well-known brands, but also new products from Xiaomi. What's surprising this time is that they're even selling coupons.
"Is Lin Gou obsessed with money? Aren't coupons usually given away for free?"
"Upstairs, you really can't blame Lin for this. You should take a look at the details of the vouchers first."
"Oh my god, sorry, I was too quick to criticize. This isn't a coupon, it's clearly a magic trick to inflate my wallet!"
"Haha, it's mainly because we're used to criticizing. Who told Xingchen Technology to have such a corporate culture?"
"But this deal is really good! Look at this Eleme 5 Yuan Pack, it's super cost-effective. You can buy five 5 Yuan coupons for 5 Yuan, and you can combine them with other coupons. Isn't this a sure way to save money?"
"I wonder if there will be any coupons for mobile games? I just started playing Genshin Impact: The Pre-Sequel - Demon Wars during the May Day holiday and I want to buy skins, but I'm a student and don't have much money."
"Come on, I'll help you, @LinChen."
Less than five minutes later, surfing expert Lin Chen immediately replied to the comment.
"arrange."
In an instant, this comment went viral.
"Wow, Lin Gou has shown up."
"Oh my god, I clicked on it and it turned out to be a real dog."
"Hahaha, upstairs, are you a hater? Tell me, were you sent by Alibaba or Tencent?"
Lin Chen then went to Dawei's side.
"Brother Dawei, are there any simple skins in Genshin Impact: Prequel - Demon Wars that haven't been released yet? I'd like to sell a five-yuan skin during the 618 shopping festival."
"Let me see, I've got it! Here's a melon vendor uncle—Diluc, what do you think, boss?"
Lin Chen's lips twitched. What the hell is this watermelon vendor? When did Diluc, the richest man in Mondstadt, need to go out and sell watermelons?
"Whose idea was this?"
"Um, from Sister Anrou."
"Great idea! Okay, let's go with this one. Price it at five yuan and make a poster to announce it."
Dawei originally wanted to say that the skin was too damn ugly, and he would have rejected the design if it weren't for Sister Anrou's work. But when Lin Chen said that this was the one, he immediately agreed.
Soon after, both the official Weibo accounts of StarCraft Technology and Genshin Impact: Prequel - War of the Demons released announcements about the 618 special offer skins.
"To thank our fans for their support, Genshin Impact: Prequel - Demon Wars is launching a brand new skin, 'Melon Seller Uncle - Diluc,' on June 18th. It will be priced at 5 yuan. Fans who like it are welcome to purchase it."
Additionally, a friendly reminder to all fans: please spend responsibly; minors are prohibited from making in-game purchases.
For a moment, fans of "Genshin Impact: Prequel - War of the Demon Gods" and the mobile game "Genshin Impact" were dumbfounded. What the hell is this melon-selling uncle? Where is the noble young master Diluc?
The three-hit combo of flames turned into a three-hit combo of watermelons.
However, after looking at the skin's price, hey? It doesn't seem like a bad deal. Look, it even has a watermelon rind effect when you cut the price down. The key is that it only costs five yuan. Five yuan, you won't lose out or be cheated.
Pony Ma, who is far away in Shenzhen, was originally planning to watch the 618 battle between Alibaba and Xingchen Technology.
Because Tencent itself doesn't have an e-commerce business, its main revenue comes from QQ ads, various membership top-ups, and mobile games. During the 618 shopping festival, Pony Ma originally planned to watch Lin Chen and Jack Ma fight while eating sunflower seeds, which gave him time to secretly develop his strength.
So, Lin Chen, what's wrong with you?
If you're doing e-commerce, then just focus on e-commerce. How can you try to do two things at once, or rather, three things at once? You're doing e-commerce, group buying, and mobile games all at once. Do you expect to make enough money from all three at once?
Is there no law left?
Is there no law anymore?
When have I, Tony, ever been treated like this?
Lin Chen, if you keep doing this, don't blame me for taking this opportunity to mess with you.
Ma raised an eyebrow and called over the technical director.
"Mr. Ma, you wanted to see me?"
"There's a feature we urgently need to develop. On June 18th, on all computers logged into QQ, if someone opens the Huasuan.com website, a pop-up window will warn the user of a risk. The warning will reappear if the user closes and reopens the website."
"Huh? Mr. Ma, doesn't this seem a bit like unfair competition?"
"What unfair competition? I'm just reminding users of the risks. I'm not interfering with their specific decisions. Let's just do it this way and speed up development."
"Okay, Mr. Ma."
The technical director wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Well, what can I do? You're the boss, you make the decisions."
So he started asking the programmers below to develop it. The function was very simple and was completed in less than an afternoon.
Jack Ma was furious at Lin Chen's antics, unaware that Tony Ma had already prepared a huge gift for him, the kind that would make him ecstatic during this 618 shopping festival.
Lin Chen, however, knew nothing about it and was exercising with An Rou.
"I'm so tired, so tired."
"This won't work either."
"Who's like you, with such good stamina?"
"Absolutely, otherwise how can we fight until dawn?"
"I'm not running anymore, I've already run five kilometers, that's enough exercise for today."
"There's a barbecue stand a kilometer ahead, are we still going?"
"Then let's hold on a little longer."
Ten minutes later, Lin Chen and An Rou sat down at the barbecue stall and started eating skewers.
