Lin Chen asked An Rou to book a private room at the hotel across from the school, while he continued chatting with Liu Qiangdong in the office.
"Brother Dong, let me introduce you. Those three young men are from our company's game department, and they are in charge of developing games."
Liu Qiangdong glanced at the three people grinning foolishly at the screen, and his lips twitched.
Lin Chen said awkwardly, "Don't let their silly appearance fool you, their skills are still amazing."
At this moment, Zhang Xuhao stormed in.
"Lin Chen, how can a big boss like you have the nerve to come to our office to steal coffee every day? Um, Dong... Brother Dong!"
Zhang Xuhao looked at Liu Qiangdong sitting next to Lin Chen, holding a cup of coffee, and exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Chen introduced, "This is Zhang Xuhao from Ele.me, a food delivery company."
"Oh! I've heard of this company. I didn't expect it to be located in the Jiaotong University Entrepreneurship Center. Jiaotong University students are truly outstanding."
"Hehe, Dong-ge, you flatter me. I think it's about time. Let's go eat. Zhang Xuhao, do you want to come with us?"
"Sure, Brother Dong is a big shot, this meal has to be on me."
Lin Chen's eyes lit up. Good brother!
Anrou called the others in the office, and they went out together to a hotel near the school gate, where Anrou had already ordered the food.
After everyone was seated, Lin Chen said to the waiter, "Waiter, bring a case of beer."
Liu Qiangdong stopped him, saying, "Hey, why are you drinking beer? Bring me some baijiu (Chinese liquor). Waiter, bring me two bottles of Moutai."
Zhang Xuhao chimed in, "Yeah, we have to drink baijiu (Chinese liquor), beer is so boring."
Two bottles of Moutai were brought out, and An Rou stood up to pour drinks for the others, just about to pour one for herself.
Lin Chen quickly snatched the wine dispenser: "What are you thinking? With your alcohol tolerance, you're still drinking baijiu? I'm not going to carry you back later."
"snort."
An Rou was so angry that she kept biting her chopsticks.
Lin Chen raised his glass: "Come on, Brother Dong, I've come all this way, let me toast you."
"Haha, you're too kind, Brother Lin. Your words today are more valuable than anything I've learned over the past few months."
"Dong-ge, you're too modest. You have foresight. As long as JD Logistics has that brand, JD will always have a place in China's online shopping festivals."
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, the guests and hosts enjoyed the meal to the fullest.
After finishing his meal, Liu Qiangdong said goodbye.
"Brother Lin, I really benefited a lot from this meal with you. Next time you come to Beijing, remember to visit JD.com, and we can have a drink together again."
"Okay, no problem, I'll definitely come."
"Then I'll be going now."
"Take care, Dong-ge. I'll organize the information and send it to you when I get back."
"Thank you, you've worked hard."
After Liu Qiangdong left, Zhang Xuhao put his arm around Lin Chen's shoulder and said, "Damn, Lin Chen, you're amazing! You're so familiar with Brother Dong. Next time some big shot comes, remember to take me with you!"
Lin Chen shoved him away: "You little karami, hurry up and make your Ele.me bigger."
"Sigh... I want to too, but I don't have the money."
What stage of development have you reached now?
"We've just finished capturing the university student market in Shanghai, and now we're preparing to seize the office worker market."
How much money is needed?
"Why? You already own 49% of Ele.me. If you invest more money, Ele.me will be yours."
Lin Chen rolled his eyes: "Are you stupid? Ele.me's market value is only so much now. Once it takes over the whole of Shanghai, Ele.me's market value will increase several times over. At that time, although you will have fewer shares, you will be worth more."
Zhang Xuhao thought about it and realized that it made sense, but he was still conflicted: "I'll go back and discuss it with the others."
"Fine, whatever you say."
Back at the startup center, Lin Chen exported a set of data from the Huasuan.com backend database. It was actually quite simple: by matching the location of registered users on Huasuan.com with their search and browsing records, he could roughly determine the data of best-selling products in each region.
After sending the data to Liu Qiangdong's email, Lin Chen continued coding.
At this moment, Liu Qiangdong was waiting for his flight at the airport. After receiving the data sent by Lin Chen, he opened it and glanced at it, his eyes filled with shock. It goes without saying how important this data is to an online shopping platform, but Lin Chen actually sent it to him in just a few minutes. This means that he can analyze the actual situation of online shopping in various regions at any time. This is terrifying. Fortunately, he doesn't run an online shopping platform, otherwise, who could beat him? He must maintain a good cooperative relationship with Huasuan.com in the future.
Liu Qiangdong walked into a small booth in the VIP waiting area, took out his laptop, and started a video conference.
"Is everyone from each department here?"
"Everyone's here, Mr. Liu."
"I have a list of best-selling products in various provinces and cities. I will immediately prepare our self-operated products according to this list and send some of them to JD Logistics transit stations in various provinces and cities. After the New Year's Day event starts, we will prioritize shipping to the nearest stations."
"Okay, Mr. Liu."
After hanging up the video conference, Liu Qiangdong, who had been feeling tense for some time, finally relaxed a little, and a smile appeared on his face.
Soon, it was 11 p.m. on December 31st.
JD.com's headquarters were brightly lit.
"Technical department, please double-check the network for any problems."
"receive."
"There's only one hour left, colleagues. Cheer up, the battle is about to begin."
"5...4...3...2...1, time's up!"
As midnight approached, JD.com quickly received its first order. Subsequently, sales figures surged to 40 million yuan before gradually slowing down.
The next morning at 8 a.m., in a residential area in Shanghai.
"Knock knock knock..."
"Who is it, knocking on the door so early in the morning?"
"Hello, this is JD Express. Please sign for this package."
"Courier service? I placed the order after midnight last night, this must be a scam."
The girl peeked through the peephole and saw that the person standing outside was indeed a JD.com deliveryman. Because she often shopped online, she recognized this JD.com deliveryman who frequently delivered packages to her.
As I opened the door, the JD.com deliveryman smiled and said, "Hello, here's your package, please accept it."
"OK, thanks."
The girl took the package inside, grabbed a pair of scissors, opened the box, and found it was indeed the down jacket she had ordered from JD.com the night before.
"My God, that's incredibly fast!"
The girl took a picture and posted it on Weibo.
"Thumbs up for JD.com! I placed the order at 12:30 last night, and it was delivered to my house at 8:00 this morning. That speed is unbelievable! Amazing! [image.jpg]"
Many people are in the same situation as her today. They woke up early this morning to receive the goods they ordered from JD.com last night and posted them on Weibo. There was even a trending topic on Weibo: "JD.com speed!"
