"Stop it, how can these be the same thing? Forget it, I'm not going to waste your time. I'm leaving."
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, don't go! Your attitude towards customers is terrible. I'm going to complain to Mr. Ma about you."
"You're going to complain about me? Be careful, or I'll complain about you to Lin Chen!"
"Okay, okay, let me tell you the truth. I sell products on Panda TV, and every single transaction is clear and transparent. But if I separate some of the products and sell them on Taobao TV, will you give me a discount?"
Once these words were spoken, Zhang Yong understood.
"Mr. Huang, are you really not afraid that I'll go to Lin Chen and complain about you?"
"Tch, go ahead and complain. You didn't even take my order, so what proof do you have?"
"What if I take your order and then complain about you?"
"What good will that do you?"
“Okay…” Zhang Yong was stunned. Right, it seemed that this really didn’t do him any good. He was just pushing away the business of Taobao Live for no reason.
Putting aside the kickback issue, Huang Zheng's order is still very important for the Taobao Live platform.
Moreover, the kickbacks he's taking aren't from Taobao, so what does it have to do with Zhang Yong?
Going to Lin Chen to complain would be like meddling in other people's business, and would also unnecessarily help the opponent.
So Zhang Yong immediately changed his tune.
"What good would it do me if I didn't complain about you?"
"Mr. Zhang, isn't it a good thing for you to give me such a large business deal?"
"This benefits Taobao, not me."
"So what benefits do you want?"
"Give me half of the kickback!"
"No, 19!"
"Four six!"
"Two-eight!"
"Sanqi!"
"make a deal!"
In the end, Huang Zheng, with a very distressed expression, agreed to give Zhang Yong a 30% commission as a transaction fee, which finally convinced Zhang Yong to agree to help Pinduoduo sell products through Taobao Live.
Because of the 30% rebate, Zhang Yong gave Huang Zheng a super discount of 50% and promised that Huang Zheng would give priority to arranging live broadcasts of these Pinduoduo products.
After all, you'd feel more at ease if you finished this illegal thing as soon as possible and got the money, right?
The two left satisfied, agreeing to get their feet washed together another day.
However, after returning, Huang Zheng reported everything to Lin Chen, while Zhang Yong didn't tell Ma Yun anything.
During the following period, business on Taobao Live was ridiculously good, operating at full capacity every day. Every streamer's work was scheduled from morning till night, with absolutely no spare time.
The livestreamers are naturally happy to accept this, since their job is based on the principle of "the more you work, the more you earn."
Jack Ma was also very happy, looking at the daily reports, the sales revenue from live-streaming e-commerce was rising steadily.
Lin Chen was also very happy. He didn't expect Lao Huang to be so helpful and negotiate such a big discount. This would save him a lot of money.
Zhang Yong was overjoyed. He had secured a huge order for Taobao Live and earned so many kickbacks—it couldn't be better!
Yesterday, Jack Ma said he would give him a bonus at the end of the month. He has more money than he can possibly spend.
Why go to a club? That college student anchorwoman we just hired last month is pretty good.
The only ones who might be unhappy are the other businesses.
In order to complete the Pinduoduo orders as quickly as possible, Zhang Yong ordered all live streamers to prioritize broadcasting the products sent by Huang Zheng. Huang Zheng was also clever; he didn't use the Pinduoduo name directly in the order details, but instead used "Pinxixi" instead.
At first, Zhang Yong thought the name was too straightforward. It was obvious at a glance; anyone who couldn't tell was an idiot.
But when those livestreamers got their hands on these products, they all just chuckled.
"Now every kind of merchant is trying to copy Pinduoduo. Look at this one, it's even called Pinxixi."
"Haha, I saw a place called Pinduoduo yesterday."
"I've met someone named Pinduoxi before."
Hearing this, Zhang Yong was truly amazed. Huang Zheng had really pulled off a brilliant move, copying himself, had he?
But you know what? The products that Pinduoduo sent over actually sold quite well, with excellent sales volume and very high commissions for the livestreamers. This made these livestreamers very happy to promote Pinduoduo's products.
As a result, other merchants' orders were delayed again and again, with some even being scheduled for several months later.
These businesses are infuriating! What kind of nonsense is this? Are they taking advantage of their size to bully customers? Are they looking down on small clients?
Alright! If they don't want me here, there are plenty of other places that will!
Then, a merchant named Lin Xixi claimed to know people on the Panda TV live streaming platform. She said that if you placed an order with her, she could get priority access, but she would need to pay a small intermediary fee.
These merchants, of course, understood. It's normal to charge a commission; otherwise, why would anyone help you?
So they all contacted Lin Xixi, asking him to help them place orders on the Panda TV live streaming platform to jump the queue.
Meanwhile, Lin Xixi was in Li Mengqi's office, negotiating with her.
"Senior, could you prioritize having the livestreamers promote these orders?"
"Boss, how could you take the initiative to open a back door?"
"Ahem, this doesn't count as using back channels; I even made money for the company."
"Boss, how could you accept bribes willingly?"
"Wait, senior, are you kidding me? I'm just trying to generate revenue for the company, okay? Besides, I'm the boss!"
"Haha, I didn't fool you at all."
"Senior, you're being naughty! Believe me or not, I'll dock your pay."
"Tch, try deducting one and see. Believe me or not, I'll come to your house for meals every day, and I'll even bring my own drinks."
Lin Chen thought of the Red Bull he had that night; its power was truly unstoppable and earth-shaking.
"Forget it, I won't argue with you. I'll deduct Zhang Yiming's money. Oh, and don't forget to prioritize these orders; they're related to my next plan."
Zhang Yiming: ? ? ?
Li Mengqi's eyes lit up.
"Boss, are you going to trick someone again? Tell me the details."
"Heavenly secrets must not be revealed."
That's right, Lin Xixi is Lin Chen. This guy is sneaking around in the merchant group, trying to attract customers for the Panda TV live streaming platform.
Since your Taobao Live platform is too busy to serve these merchants, I'll kindly help you out. How about it? I, Lin Chen, am a pretty good person, aren't I?
Making a little extra money on the side, isn't that too much to ask?
Then, one by one, these merchants who couldn't even rank on the Taobao live streaming platform jumped into the pit Lin Chen had dug... oops, the sweet trap he had dug.
Everyone was very happy. Looking back at the Taobao Live platform, they thought, "Humph, little Taobao, it doesn't even recognize its own status. How dare it neglect us, its bread and butter customers."
