Chapter 435: Too scary, we must kill him!
Most people in the north eat dumplings during the winter solstice, while most people in the south eat glutinous rice balls during the winter solstice.
Dumplings are fragrant and glutinous rice balls are sweet, each has its own merits.
But for Lashou.com, the glutinous rice balls in their bowls were not sweet, but rather bitter, a kind of bitterness that was hard to describe.
The 1.2 million was spent, and just as everyone expected, it was basically a waste of money. It only brought in a few banners from merchants, saying that Lashou.com was a great philanthropist who helped them expand their business and build their brand.
Robin had a smile on his face, but he was annoyed inside and even had a blister on his mouth.
How did they lose? In fact, in recent days, people at the Shanghai branch of Lashou.com have been thinking about this question. Some people say that they underestimated the enemy and did not take group buying seriously at the beginning, otherwise it would not have come to this point.
But Robin didn't think so, at least not entirely.
Pintuan suddenly entered Shanghai and had signed contracts with more than 50 merchants before advertising. This could certainly be considered a sneak attack, but they all knew in their hearts that if it had relied solely on a sneak attack, Pintuan would not have been able to defeat them like this.
Do they have the ability to stop their iron army of salesmen?
No.
Their food festival started in May. Do we have the ability to prevent it? No.
Those deep cooperation agreements were also pits dug half a year ago. How could they not fall into the trap? No.
Therefore, even if Lashou.com attached great importance to group buying from the beginning, it would still lose in the end because they could not stop those methods at all.
Even if you are prepared from the beginning, it will only make you worry for a few more days and will have no effect on the result.
"After New Year's Day, I may be transferred back to the headquarters to take up another position."
"I want to say that it is my honor to work with you all, but all good things must come to an end, and now it is time to say goodbye."
"Boss Yang will come from Kyoto this afternoon and will gradually take over my work. I hope everyone can treat him as you treat me and continue to cooperate sincerely with him."
As Robin spoke, he ate a dumpling from the bowl. No one spoke in the meeting room at this time, and even the sound of swallowing was much quieter.
Almost half of the market has been lost. Someone has to stand up and take responsibility for this matter. Senior leaders will not consider how terrible your opponent is, they only look at the final result.
In fact, this is the fate of people in the workplace. The higher you stand, the more likely you are to encounter problems.
Moreover, Robin had never encountered any competitors after taking over the Shanghai market, yet he lost so miserably the first time. It is estimated that the headquarters has already confirmed that he cannot control the market.
However, he is lucky that he has a brother who is on the front line to help LaShou expand its territory, so the company will not hold him too accountable. But after such an incident, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to be entrusted with important tasks again.
But the man surnamed Yang is really unlucky. He probably doesn’t know that group buying is still eroding Lashou’s business, it’s just slowing down.
"Boss Luo, you shouldn't be blamed for this."
"Yes, Mr. Luo, judging from the developments in the past half month, it would be useless to replace anyone else."
Robin looked at everyone, chuckled and waved his hands: "If I lose, I lose. There is no need to find excuses. It's my bad luck that I met such an outrageous... college student, hehe."
Wu Peng was silent for a moment: "I have never seen such a scary college student in my life."
"So, knowledge is power. Don't look down on intellectuals in the future, especially Wu Peng. You don't have a high level of education yourself. I heard that your son doesn't want to go to school? Go back and give him a good lecture. College students today are different from those in our time."
"Mr. Luo is right. I will beat him up when I get back. I will force him to go to college, even if it's just a junior college."
After hearing this, Cui Yiting and Song Yaqian fell silent.
Cui Yiting graduated from graduate school not long ago, so she doesn’t have this sense of age, while Song Yaqian hasn’t graduated yet and is also a standard college student.
They really want to say now that college students are not so outrageous. The only outrageous one is Jiang Qin. The things he is doing now are not something that college students, not even the professors who teach college students, would do.
But things have come to this point, what's the point in saying any more?
After eating the dumplings, Cui Yiting walked to the rooftop, lit a cigarette, and looked up at the desolate sky. She felt like she was dreaming but couldn't wake up.
These symptoms have lasted for several days and the doctor said she was suffering from neurasthenia due to excessive stress.
And all her pressure comes from Jiang Qin.
When did she first meet Jiang Qin? It was after the Sui Xin Tuan lost his arm and survived. Out of curiosity, she went back to Linchuan with Ye Ziqing, but was greatly disappointed.
He doesn't have the temperament of an entrepreneur at all. He sits in a sloppy manner, swears, and doesn't care about business at all. The whole office is talking about how fat his dog is. His roommates in the dormitory are all fun-loving people.
Therefore, during the time when Liu Yin was helping out in Shanghai, every time someone spoke for her uncle Jiang, she looked disdainful.
But it was not until this time that she knew what it meant to plan and win a battle from afar.
It was also because of this sweaty experience that the figures of Jiang Qin and the entrepreneur slowly merged in her heart and began to soar into the sky.
"A college student who hasn't graduated yet..."
At the same time, Robin had already left the branch with Song Yaqian and headed to the airport to pick up Yang Xueyu who was sent from Kyoto.
Robin didn't know much about Yang Xueyu, nor did he want to know anything about him, because from now on, the Shanghai market had nothing to do with him.
He just exchanged some polite greetings and then took him to the Hilton Hotel, intending to let Song Yaqian brief him on the current situation, while he planned to take a good rest for a few days during the transfer.
"Boss Yang, you must be exhausted from the journey. Take a good rest. We will hold a welcome banquet at 7pm."
"Okay, Mr. Luo, everything will be up to you."
At the front desk of Hilton Hotel, Robin was talking when Song Yaqian next to him suddenly pulled his sleeve and pointed to the right rear side of the front desk.
Robin looked back with a puzzled look and found a young man in a suit walking towards the restaurant.
He didn't understand what Song Yaqian meant at first, but he soon realized it because the person walking towards the restaurant was Jiang Qin.
"Yaqian, take Mr. Yang to check in. I'll go over there."
"Okay Mr. Luo."
Robin straightened his suit, tucked in his shirt, and adjusted his tie before walking into the restaurant.
It’s strange that he didn’t take it so seriously when he went to pick up Yang Xueyu, but when he saw Jiang Qin, he couldn’t help but start to tidy up his appearance.
Jiang Qin was sitting by the window at this time, with a steak in front of him and a glass of red wine next to him. He then took out a pair of scissors from the drawer, cut the steak into cubes, and put them into his mouth with a toothpick.
Seeing this scene, Robin took a deep breath and thought that this person was indeed a person who did not play by the rules.
"Can we share a table?"
Jiang Qin raised his head and glanced at him: "Boss Luo?"
Robin smiled slightly, "It's me."
"Good man."
"????"
Jiang Qin also smiled like him: "Boss Luo, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Robin was silent for a while before speaking: "I've always wondered what someone with such outstanding abilities would look like. You know, looking at photos always seems unreal. I just happened to see Mr. Jiang and couldn't help but follow him."
"So that's how it is."
Jiang Qin picked up the tablecloth to wipe his mouth and looked out the window: "Everyone who knows me says that I am a vase. Only Mr. Luo sees my ability. If we were not in different camps, we could be close friends."
Robin was really silent this time, thinking that it was no wonder that he could achieve such results with such a thick face.
"When did President Jiang start planning this?"
"This is a trade secret. How can I tell you? Mr. Luo, please stop joking with me."
Robin couldn't help but laugh: "I am a little abrupt, but when people lose, they always feel unwilling to accept it. I want to know why I am inferior to you. This makes me a little stupid."
Jiang Qin looked up at him and said, "No, you want to give it a try, because I won. You think I'm so young that I'll be arrogant. After all, I fought such a beautiful battle. I might talk endlessly about my own methods and show the superiority of the winner."
"Mr. Jiang, don't you want to show it?"
“You don’t know me, you don’t know how tough I am.
Robin patted his thigh and looked out the window: "Actually, I really don't mean anything else. I just wanted to chat for a while. After all, I will no longer be responsible for the Shanghai market in a few days."
Jiang Qin ate a piece of beef: "Change of commander?"
"Yes, I came here this time to help him check in. He is really an amazing person."
"It's useless, Mr. Luo."
"?"
"You want to influence my mentality by telling me that there is an opponent in Shanghai that I am not familiar with and is better than you. But that is useless. I am a random puncher. I will fight anyone. There is no difference at all."
Jiang Qin took a sip of red wine: "Also, it's pointless for you to influence me, because I will be back to school in a while. The leave granted by the school is not long, and I have to go back to study hard. The rest of the things will proceed according to the plan, and no one can stop it."
Robin's face changed slightly, and he finally confirmed the uneasiness in his heart. This person was very scary.
If group buying gets financing later, no one will survive. This time when he returns to the headquarters, he must advise the top management to get rid of group buying at all costs, otherwise they will definitely regret it.
After having this thought, Robin didn't stay any longer and got up and left his seat.
However, after taking a few steps, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at Jiang Qin.
"By the way, Mr. Jiang, it took us four months to negotiate for this hotel through Lashou.com. We don't think there are any other partners at the moment. Why are you staying here?"
"ah?"
Jiang Qin coughed awkwardly twice: "Your layout in the hotel industry is indeed good, the discounts are great, and the steak is delicious. I like it very much."
Robin held his breath, stunned.
Holy shit, we are competitors, and you actually used our Lashou.com coupons to stay in a hotel, what kind of bastard is this?!
No, no, we must kill him. We must tell the headquarters and kill him immediately!
