Chapter 427: Settling in Shanghai
Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu’s little red mouths didn’t last long and faded the next morning, but the impact they left was profound and long-lasting.
For example, Chaozi, Kaka is just exercising, and no one can persuade him.
Even though his three brothers held down his legs and advised him to take a break, he still did three sit-ups in a row, which stunned the three of them.
And the rich girl's group of roommates, led by Gao Wenhui, spent the entire late-night chat discussing kissing.
But the rich young woman's mouth was very tight, and nothing could pry it open except Jiang Qin's tongue. The answer was that the soup was hot.
But Gao Wenhui discovered that every time they asked her questions about kissing, her cold, porcelain-like face would always turn a little red, a sign of being spoiled to the point of being a little silly.
That’s right, there’s no way to escape it, these two people definitely kissed.
It's strange to say, kissing is nothing to college students. Which young couple would regard kissing on the lips as a milestone in their relationship? It would be a joke if they told others about it.
But Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu kissed, and just thinking about it made Gao Wenhui and the others feel very addicted.
Take Wang Haini for example. She is an expert in love, but she feels that it is boring when she is dating alone. She has to watch Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu to experience the excitement of emotions again.
Maybe, this is the sense of taboo between good friends, which makes people feel excited about doing anything.
"Nan Shu, what does it feel like to kiss Jiang Qin? Does it smell good?"
"No kissing, just hot soup."
Feng Nanshu was sitting on the bed wearing Rilakkuma pajamas, with her two smooth feet painted with pink nail polish, which was Jiang Qin's masterpiece during the October 1st holiday.
At that time, the good friends were not allowed to kiss each other, but Jiang Qin still liked to pamper her feet.
The roommates, who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers, looked at each other and thought that they should change the way they asked the question. These two people's relationship was very encrypted, and if you didn't follow their thinking, you wouldn't get any sweetness.
"Feng Nanshu?"
"Um?"
"What's it like to drink soup with Jiang Qin?"
"Wenhui, you are a bad person."
Now it has been three hours since the kiss. The little rich woman's IQ has long since returned to normal and she can see through their intentions at a glance.
The next morning, the temperature dropped sharply, and the slightly warmer weather became cold again. Most students ran to class and only breathed a sigh of relief when they reached the heated room.
So a magical scene often occurs in universities in the north: there is no one in the middle, but the side with heating is crowded with people.
At this time, Boss Jiang came to Zhang Baiqing to approve a long vacation, intending to go to Shanghai to do some tricks, and he also went to 701 for a joint meeting.
For students of the School of Finance, the chance of seeing Jiang Qin coming to class is even smaller than that of seeing a shooting star. They have to close their eyes and make a wish seriously immediately, for fear that he will run away if they are not careful.
"Confess and be lenient; resist and be strict. What did you and Feng Nanshu do yesterday?"
Gao Wenhui was like a scoundrel, asking Jiang Qin non-stop questions as soon as he saw him.
"We've made friends." Jiang Qin has been doing business for several years, and his most powerful method is to be confident and justified.
"Can making friends make your lips red?"
Jiang Qin looked at her and said, "How can you suck it? It's because the soup is hot. How can you kiss your good friends? You're like a moron."
Gao Wenhui was stunned for a moment: "This seems to be the question I want to ask. You are good friends, how can you kiss each other?"
"So no."
"Then why are your lips so red?"
Jiang Qin kept repeating the same thing over and over again: "Drink the soup because it's hot. I've said it eight hundred times. How can you be in the same university with a star student with your IQ?"
Wang Haini reached out and patted Gao Wenhui: "Don't ask anymore. Boss Jiang has such a big mouth that even Feng Nanshu's tongue can't be pried open."
"You can pry it open."
Feng Nanshu spoke in a high and cold manner, with the temperament that he would act silly if he got close to his brother.
The question is, there is no kiss, but I can pry my brother's mouth open.
Jiang Qin thought that friendship really lowers one's intelligence, and the little rich woman was stupid again. Then she held her little hand and rubbed it for a while, automatically blocked Gao Wenhui's pursuit, and silently deducted one month's salary from her.
"Forget it. If you don't tell me, I'll just write nonsense in my novel."
Gao Wenhui took out a notebook and wrote an outline in a flamboyant manner, describing for example how Feng Nanshu was captured, how he was sucked, and how Jiang Qin's hands kept moving all over the mountains and plains, in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.
Jiang Qin was stunned by the words and thought, "Are you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination?" But the rich woman seemed to have opened the door to a new world and was eager to try.
However, Jiang Qin didn't have time to settle accounts with Xiao Gao and instruct her on how to write online articles, because he had more important things to arrange.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Boss Jiang drove away from Linda and came to the group headquarters, and named several people to go on a business trip with him.
Wen Jinrui has to go because she is a full-time secretary and has to take care of many trivial matters.
Sun Zhi, who is currently helping with brand marketing, will also go there to coordinate the follow-up work of the signed brands in Shanghai.
Deng Yuan and Zhang Yu from the marketing department had just returned from a tour of second- and third-tier markets and hadn’t had time to rest yet, but they were also named by Jiang Qin to go to Shanghai.
They both graduated in 2008 and joined group buying in 2009. They have been working on the front line ever since. Although they are young, they have been honed in the front-line market and are quite experienced.
In addition, Ma Yubao from the original content team and Yang Shuai from the technical team were also asked by Jiang Qin to go together to cooperate with the work in Shanghai.
"Give yourself a nickname when you go back."
"Sun Zhi used to sell health products, right? So let's call you Da Bao Jian. You will be my Da Bao Jian from now on."
Jiang Qin sat in the boss's chair and gave another employee a shameful name.
However, Sun Zhi had been in the underworld for many years and had no problem with it. He immediately said, "What a good name! I will be like a big sword, go deep into the enemy camp and present the enemy general's head to the boss."
"Okay, okay, finally the writer has a rival."
The next morning, Jiang Qin led everyone and flew to Shanghai. He called everyone to a meeting and made plans.
At this time, one and a half months have passed since the major websites' market penetration. Especially after the light snow, the websites' promotion of second- and third-tier cities has slowed down. This also proves Jiang Qin's speculation that everyone's funds have reached the zero point again.
What they need to do now is to make use of the current number of cities to obtain more financing.
For example, Lashou.com’s recent publicity is that it currently provides group buying services in more than 20 cities.
Of course, this 20-plus percent includes second- and third-tier markets and surrounding cities. Some of them have a market share of less than 30%, but they can still be counted as one. This is the skill.
At the same time, managers of each branch of the group buying business received direct orders from Jiang Qin on the internal management system, requiring them to select a group of personnel to go to Shanghai to develop their business.
In fact, front-line marketing specialists are the most sensitive to market changes.
They can feel that group buying online activities in second- and third-tier cities are booming, but there are fewer and fewer ground promoters and marketing specialists for group buying.
In the past, you would get scared when you went out on the street, but now you may not even see a few even if you search the street.
Some people did report this subtle change to their superiors, but most branch managers didn't pay much attention to it.
How should I put it? Although Pintuan is the biggest competitor of major group buying websites in the second- and third-tier markets, everyone’s impression of it is still “a group buying brand from a small place” and “a small-scale website that takes shortcuts.”
It doesn't even dare to do business in first-tier cities. Even if its business level in second- and third-tier cities is high, what can it achieve?
Compared with the current top-tier websites, this group buying website that originated in a university town cannot be considered a rival, but only a stumbling block.
In the evening of early December, at Juxianlou in Linchuan, Zhou Zhenhao and Cui Yiting were on vacation and came back to treat Ye Ziqing to a meal and chat about the recent situation of the group buying market.
"At present, Lashou's position in Shanghai has been stabilized. Although Nuomi is still working hard, the results are minimal. It is estimated that after this Spring Festival, Lashou will be able to completely eat up the Shanghai market."
Cui Yiting is currently the marketing manager in Shanghai and is very familiar with Lashou.com's business in Shanghai.
After listening to this, Ye Ziqing nodded and said, "Fortunately, I lost to such an opponent. I won't feel regretful."
"How's Zhenhao? Is everything going well?"
“When I was a manager in Xijing, I came across group buying.”
"?"
"You didn't expect it, did you? In fact, when all the group buying websites were fighting in first-tier cities, he had been operating in second- and third-tier markets. When we went there, he had already taken root very deeply."
Ye Ziqing was stunned after hearing this: "Isn't he only doing university town?"
Cui Yiting pursed her lips and said, "I told you that this person's words cannot be trusted. The national group buying market is so hot right now, how could he hold back? I felt there was something wrong here from the beginning."
"But he only does second- and third-tier businesses. It must be difficult for him to even raise funds, right?"
"He wants to build up the market first, then sell it to maximize profits."
Zhou Zhenhao put down his chopsticks and said: "Half a year ago, second- and third-tier markets were not important, but now it is different. Websites that want to raise funds must take over more cities. The more cities they expand their business in, the more money they can raise."
Ye Ziqing was silent for a moment: "In other words, whoever can buy the group first by the end of the year will be the winner?"
"That must be the case."
"Will he ever want to do it himself?"
As soon as Ye Ziqing finished speaking, he couldn't help but start shaking his head: "It's unlikely. Now the financing of major websites is in the billions. Group buying doesn't have this scale. Jiang Qin won't be so stupid."
Zhou Zhenhao nodded: "My subordinates have been telling me that there are fewer and fewer group-buying promoters and marketing specialists. I guess he is controlling costs. After all, they have to be sold, so it would be unreasonable to invest more money."
"It seems that Jiang Qin really understands the market better than us."
“I don’t think so.”
Ye Ziqing was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Cui Yiting: "What do you mean?"
Cui Yiting crossed her arms and said, "Our original intention in creating Suixintuan was to make it the greatest group-buying website in China, but Jiang Qin has always been thinking about how to make money. We have the opportunity to become the creators of the era, but he can only be a speculator of the era forever."
Ye Ziqing did not comment, and turned to look at Zhou Zhenhao again: "Is Lashou planning to acquire Pintuan?"
"Well, we are already researching the price, but the group buying team has not responded yet."
"That's normal. If I were Jiang Qin, I would also keep my composure at this time. Otherwise, why would I raise the price?"
As Cui Yiting was talking, she suddenly heard a buzzing sound coming from her bag.
She casually took out her cell phone and took a look at it, and her expression suddenly froze. As her eyes gradually widened, an incredible emotion was revealed in her eyes.
