Chapter 400: Senior Sister Sold It
In the dead of night, the meeting room of Sui Xin Tuan's Shanghai branch was brightly lit.
Because of the crazy marketing of Nuomi and Lashou in recent days, the number of users of Suixintuan is decreasing rapidly, and the number of orders in the background has dropped to a freezing point, and at one point fell back to the state before financing.
At the same time, Sui Xin Tuan’s newly established customer service center received countless calls every day.
Those who called were not there to inquire about packages or order services, but to return the shopping vouchers they had previously stockpiled.
After the market in Shanghai stabilized, the discounts offered by Sui Xin Tuan were not as great, and gradually returned to 30% and 80% from the initial 40% discount.
After all, in a market without competitors, spending money to give consumers cheaper products would be a really stupid move.
Therefore, the coupons in the hands of Sui Xin Tuan users are basically 30% or 20% off.
However, compared with the half-price coupons from Nuomi.com that just came out, and the 30% to 80% discount from Lashou.com, the consumption coupons from Suixintuan immediately made people feel disgusted, so there are more and more requests for coupon returns.
In addition, they had previously sold a batch of May Day gold coupons for three days, mainly to use the May Day market to demonstrate Sui Xin Tuan's strong user base and consumption capacity, but many people did not check the time after buying, causing them to expire.
The principle of Sui Xin Tuan is that we are not responsible for expired discount coupons, but because of the refund turmoil in the past few days, many customers with expired coupons are also clamoring for a refund.
Ye Ziqing and Cui Yiting are now thinking of countermeasures and appeasing customers every day. Except for going to the toilet, they basically never leave this meeting room.
Liu Yin originally came here to play with her best friend, but now she has become a waitress for two people.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Liu Yin came to the meeting room with two meals. Seeing Ye Ziqing's pale lips, she couldn't help but sigh.
"What's going on?"
"The number of users continues to decrease, and the customer service center receives a lot of refund orders every day."
Liu Yin put the lunch box on the table and stared at the computer. "They can give discounts, so why can't you? Didn't you just raise 10 million US dollars?"
Ye Ziqing pressed her temple and looked up at her bestie: "The Shenzhen market has a weak foundation and requires more funds. It is difficult for us to fight them head-on. If we fight a war of attrition, we will be burned to death if we are not careful."
"But if we don't fight, won't we..."
"So, Yiting and I are thinking of a better solution."
Ye Ziqing forced a smile, then opened the lunch box, saw the tomato and egg inside, and immediately praised them, saying they were really good.
But Liu Yin could see that there was a heavy shadow in her best friend's eyes at this moment.
After dinner, Ye Ziqing suggested going out for some fresh air. Cui Yiting was also feeling suffocated, so she nodded in agreement. The three of them went downstairs and found a lounge chair in the park.
The summer night breeze is gentle and not irritating, and it is very comfortable to blow against your face.
On a park path covered with lush vegetation, a group of night runners wearing headphones walked under the dim street lights and gradually entered the darkness.
There are cicadas chirping next door and frogs croaking opposite. If one is in a good mood, Ye Ziqing thinks it would be no problem to sit here for an hour.
But at this moment, her fatigue increased instead of decreased.
In fact, she still finds it hard to accept how the Sui Xin Tuan, which had just gotten out of one pit, fell into another pit. It was simply one pit after another.
If they had known this earlier, they should not have gotten involved in the battle in Shenzhen, but should have increased their investment to directly break the shackles of Kyoto.
Unfortunately, the loss of the Shenzhen City Market affected them all. They felt that what was lost must be taken back, so they couldn't wait to get it back, but who knew that it would play into the other party's hands.
"Actually, I'm out of ideas."
Liu Yin: “?”
Ye Ziqing pursed her lips and said, "I stay in the conference room every day just to make myself feel that I am working hard and relieve the anxiety in my heart."
Cui Yiting's eyebrows tensed when she heard this: "Ziqing, we haven't reached that point yet, don't say such things."
"This time is different from last time. Last time we still had the merchant resources in Shenzhen as bargaining chips, but now our roads on both sides are blocked. Jiang Qin is right. The national market is really not as simple as I thought."
Liu Yin looked up at Ye Ziqing, and after a while she said, "Ziqing, go ask Jiang Qin for advice."
Hearing this, Ye Ziqing was slightly stunned.
Cui Yiting's eyes looked a little strange: "I have met that Jiang Qin, he is just an ordinary college student. He always talks about school things, such as walking the dog and dating. How can he help us?"
Liu Yin didn't want to argue with her, so she continued to persuade her bestie: "Why don't you give it a try? Maybe this folk remedy can cure serious illnesses."
"Let's just... forget it."
Ye Ziqing shook his head.
She had just invited Jiang Qin to dinner some time ago, and she boasted in front of him that she was going to make a big deal, and said that she was a qualified leader and so on. Now she was asked to ask him, and she couldn't save her face.
Besides, she didn't think Jiang Qin could come up with any good solution.
Because as he once said, the national market doesn't work that way. It's a completely different environment from the regional market.
Ye Ziqing understood now, and was about to be worn down by this kind of day and night attack, but could Jiang Qin do it? If he could, wouldn't he have come here by himself a long time ago? "Let's go, I want to go back and have a good sleep, these past few days have been too hard."
Hearing this, Cui Yiting couldn't help but look at her, and felt a sense of exhaustion in her tone.
She originally wanted to say a few words of comfort, but after thinking about it, she felt that she couldn't even do anything about it, so what was the point of comforting him.
She put out the lady's cigarette in her hand, put on her bag, and followed him back to the apartment.
However, human loss is always temporary and not lasting. On the next day, after a good sleep, Ye Ziqing regained her fighting spirit.
She also began to reconsider Liu Yin's suggestion and wondered whether she should call Jiang Qin to ask.
"Ziqing, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Ziqing saw Cui Yiting coming to work: "I was thinking about Liu Yin's suggestion last night."
"Go ask Jiang Qin what to do?"
Ye Ziqing nodded, then took out her cell phone from her bag, and after hesitating for a while, she pressed the dial button.
Seeing this scene, Cui Yiting didn't say anything. The last time she and Ye Ziqing met Jiang Qin, her only impression of the sophomore student was that he was flashy and had a false reputation. But if it could ease Ye Ziqing's anxiety, it would be helpful.
Soon, the call was connected. At this time, Jiang Qin, Dong Wenhao and Lu Feiyu were squatting at the gate of Linchuan University, admiring the beautiful female students who had just enrolled.
Looking at the slender legs swaying in front of them, the three of them felt a sense of pride in being college students.
When Ye Ziqing called, Jiang Qin was not too surprised, because he knew very well what had happened to the Sui Xin Group.
"Junior, how are you doing recently?"
"It's OK, senior. I just returned to school and was planning to review the knowledge in the textbook before the school officially starts, and beat them hard."
Hearing this, Dong Wenhao and Lu Feiyu couldn't help but look at the boss, thinking that this boss really just spoke nonsense.
Ye Ziqing pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone: "What do you think of the current group buying market?"
"It's so bloody, I don't dare to watch it."
"?"
Jiang Qin stood up and leaned under the shade of a tree: "Senior, do you want to talk to me about something? Why don't you just say it directly?"
Ye Ziqing and Cui Yiting looked at each other, then he spoke about the current situation of being attacked from all sides, and then asked him if he had any suggestions.
Jiang Qin was silent for a while, and finally chuckled: "I do have a suggestion, and it will definitely solve your current predicament."
“Is this true or false?”
"It's true, but you may not like to hear it."
Jiang Qin pursed his lips and said directly without keeping anyone in suspense: "Senior, sell it."
Ye Ziqing was slightly stunned: "What are you selling?"
"Make up your mind to sell Sui Xin Tuan now. The dispute has just begun, and your company's valuation is still high. You should be able to sell it for a good price, which will not only balance your accounts, but you may even make a small profit. But if you continue to waste time, you will lose money when your market share decreases."
Jiang Qin added, "I suggest you sell it to Nuomituan. That way, he will have the power to stab Lashou.com in the back, and it will be considered as helping you get revenge for poaching your team. But your customer service center is pretty good. Can you dismantle it and sell it to me?"
“…”
Because Ye Ziqing was using the hands-free mode, Cui Yiting was also able to hear what was on the phone. At this moment, she couldn't help but sneer, her eyes full of disdain.
Sell it? This is the hard work of more than 2,000 people for more than half a year. Just sell it? Is this a suggestion? Who wouldn't give such a suggestion? Cui Yiting felt that Ye Ziqing was a little confused. He actually listened to a college student's nonsense. What's the difference between this and kindergarten instructing college students?
Ye Ziqing's face was also somewhat gloomy: "Junior, if the Follow the Heart Group was yours, would you be willing to just throw it away?"
"If the Sui Xin Group is mine, why would there be any problems with the Hand and Foot Networks?"
“…”
"It's no use telling you that you might as well go to the frontier market and take a look, rather than listening to his big talk here!"
Cui Yiting's voice came from the receiver, but she hung up before she finished speaking.
Lu Feiyu couldn't help but turn his head and look at him: "Boss, who is it?"
"Brother Mang."
"It's obviously a woman's voice."
Jiang Qin squatted back to where he was. "How reckless do you think she is to call you Mangge?"
Lu Feiyu's eyes rolled around: "Boss, are you afraid if I tell the boss lady that you were on the phone with a woman?"
"Get lost, you're looking for death, huh? Go, use your money to buy me an ice lolly, an expensive one!"
“…”
Let me explain. The reason why I set aside a part to write about Ye Ziqing's first-person perspective is because Jiang Qin will encounter a similar wave of encirclement and suppression later. Without the comparison of this first-person perspective, there will be no damage. The book is destined to have ups and downs. In addition, the real group buying war lasted for a year. Although I will not write that long, it is not reasonable to finish it in half a year. Please be more patient. The difficulty in writing this part is to make it as full as possible but not let the timeline jump too much. Because if the timeline jumps too fast, a lot of campus content will not be able to be written in time.
