"real?!"
Brother Ma stood up excitedly.
"Let's go, I'll go take a look now."
Xiao Ma and Zhang Jin quickly arrived at the new game project development team.
After watching for a while, Xiao Ma discovered that a newly recruited genius in the project team had implemented a function that originally required the patent of "Genshin Impact" through other means. Although the effect was not as good as "Genshin Impact", at least it was usable. The new game project would not crash here and could be pushed forward.
"Great! Excellent, this young man is smart and his bonus will be doubled this month! Everyone else, keep up the good work, everyone has a chance!"
"Thank you, Mr. Ma!" Zhang Jin, the head of the new game project team, led the applause.
However, very few people responded.
You know, this is a problem that has plagued Tencent for a long time, and all it's for is an extra month's bonus? What's there to celebrate?
Let alone them, even the person involved, that genius young man, is thinking of leaving now; there's really no future in it.
No wonder they haven't been able to find a way to bypass the patent after so long of research. It's not that they can't find a way, but that they're too lazy to research it. Even the rewards are so perfunctory, how can they have any motivation?
Little Ma didn't care and left happily. Although the recent events had been quite turbulent, the results were all good.
The TX game platform has been revitalized, and new games are being developed.
Unlike some people who are good at nothing but online shopping.
Jack Ma: You might as well just give me your ID number, or I'll challenge you to a duel!
Meanwhile, Lin Chen was working with Wang Xing to integrate the resources of Lashou.com.
"President Lin, you're amazing! You've taken over the entire market share of Lashou.com without shedding a drop of blood."
"Sigh, keep it low-key, but it can't really be said that it was bloodless. I still lost a lot of brain cells."
Wang Xing: ...
Lin Chen glanced at the data on the report and asked, "President Wang, how long will it take to complete the market integration of Meituan and Lashou?"
"It will take at least a month, since it involves the national market and many details need to be modified individually."
"Well, a month isn't a long time. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work at all, I'm so excited! To be honest, Mr. Lin, when I sold Meituan to you, I never imagined it would come this far. I thought Meituan would fall apart in two months, and I just came here to scam some money from you..."
At this point, Wang Xing seemed to realize he had said the wrong thing. He turned around and saw Lin Chen's face, which was as black as coal.
"Ahem, Mr. Lin, what I mean is that I came here to help you expand and strengthen the group buying business and create new glories."
Do you think I believe you?
A month later, Meituan finally completed the full merger with Lashou.com, achieving a situation where a single group-buying company held more than 50% of the total market share, becoming the undisputed group-buying giant.
With this, the long-running group-buying war has finally come to an end.
From the early Gaopeng.com and Manzuo.com to the later Lashou.com, Wowo.com and Meituan.
Later, Lin Chen took the lead with his traffic-generating platform, Huasuan.com, and then Alibaba and Tencent, the two giants, also entered the fray with their own traffic-generating platforms.
Thus, the final round consisted of three companies: Meituan, supported by Xingchen Technology; Koubei.com, an internal Alibaba platform (later renamed Taobao Group Buying); and Lashou.com, acquired by Tencent.
I thought this was going to be a long and expensive war, but I never expected it to end so suddenly.
Lin Chen took a different approach. Instead of defeating the enemy on the front lines, he attacked from another angle and suddenly acquired Lashou.com.
Although Meituan's market share was higher than the other two companies, it did not achieve an absolute dominance. However, now, the super hegemon of the group-buying industry has been born, and there is no suspense about what will happen next.
A few days later, Star Technology announced that it would merge all of Ele.me's businesses into Meituan.
Eleme Takeaway has been renamed Meituan Takeaway, Eleme Supermarket has been renamed Meituan Supermarket, and Eleme Select has been renamed Meituan Select.
Wang Xing continues to serve as the director of Xingchen Technology's group-buying business unit, while Wu Bo and Zhang Xuhao serve as deputy directors.
Zhang Xuhao and Wu Bo were both very happy to see each other again. After Wu Bo joined Tencent, although they were both in Beijing, they did not meet again to avoid suspicion.
"Po!"
"Ah Hao!"
The two embraced each other excitedly, and Lin Chen, Zhang Yiming, and Wang Xing were deeply moved by their brotherhood.
With brothers united, their strength can break metal! It seems that the group-buying business unit's continued growth and expansion is not just a dream.
After embracing for a while, the two looked at each other affectionately and said the same thing at the same time.
"Tonight, I'm treating everyone to a whole restaurant!"
Wang Xing: ...
Zhang Yiming: ...
Lin Chen: You guys aren't taking me? Zhang Xuhao, how many times have you owed me this?
After the brotherhood ended, Lin Chen spoke.
"Now we are all one family. I hope we can put aside past grievances and work together for the development of Meituan."
Looking at Wu Bo and Zhang Xuhao, who were as close as brothers, Zhang Yiming thought to himself, "Where is there any past grudge?"
Lin Chen continued.
“Zhang Xuhao, in addition to the main food delivery business you are in charge of, I will set up a new business for you: the shared electric bicycle business.”
"Mr. Lin, what is a shared electric scooter?"
"We buy a batch of electric bicycles and put them on the road. People who need them can ride them by scanning a code and are charged according to time and distance. This can solve the awkward situation of having to travel a distance that is neither too far nor too short to reach your destination."
"This sounds great, but won't it affect traffic?"
"Yes, you're absolutely right. So you need to communicate with the relevant departments beforehand, start with a few pilot cities, and then roll it out nationwide after the pilot program is over."
"Yes, that's a safer approach, but will it be profitable?"
"Whether we make money or not is secondary when we launch this shared electric bike service. The main goal is to accumulate customers and make them dependent on Meituan. Oh, by the way, when you launch this shared electric bike service, you should also set up a battery swapping station. This will not only replace the batteries of the shared electric bikes that are out of power, but also make it convenient for delivery drivers to replace their batteries."
"That would be great! Otherwise, it's really inconvenient when delivery drivers run out of battery on their electric bikes."
"I'll give you a deadline of the end of the year. You should be able to complete the pilot program by then, right?"
"no problem."
"Wu Bo, you will continue to be in charge of Meituan Supermarket and Meituan Select. Next, Meituan Supermarket can let capable subordinates handle the daily work, while you will be responsible for selecting stores and products for Meituan Select. Once there are enough products, we can open official flagship stores on major e-commerce platforms to sell them."
