Chapter 475: The group is in a panic!
During the Qingming Festival, after the light rain, the last bit of coolness of early spring fades away and the temperature begins to become very pleasant.
Jiang Qin has been in Shanghai for five days. He first registered a Shanghai branch of a company called Pintuan Network Technology, and then went to visit Feng Nanshu's uncle and aunt.
The only thing left at this time is to keep an eye on the launch of the group buying GIS service.
This service took Pintuan and Gaode half a year to prepare. After it went online, users can view the location of merchants in real time, as well as the fastest transportation methods to get there, and provide route guidance. It is considered a relatively large technological innovation in the history of group buying websites.
At the same time, this is also Gaode's first step into the commercial field, and both companies attach great importance to it.
The Shanghai branch is the largest business area for group buying and the first online pilot for this service. Gaode specially sent a technical team over, and Jiang Qin, as the boss, was also present in person.
To outsiders who were not in the know, Jiang Qin's sudden arrival in Shanghai was to deal with the crisis of Volkswagen's plan in Shanghai, which was equivalent to a personal expedition by the emperor.
The fact that the emperor personally led the army into battle showed that the group buying team was a little panicked, so much so that the boss had to personally come out to boost morale.
"Good morning, Mr. Luo."
"Good morning, Mr. Jiang. Have you had breakfast? Do you want to eat something together?"
In the early morning of April 6, Robin had just come out of the Hilton suite when she met Jiang Qin in the corridor.
He was not surprised at all, because this shameless Mr. Jiang had bought their coupons last time, used their half-price discount to stay in Shanghai for half a month, and then took over their market in Shanghai.
But this time, Robin wasn't angry.
Why? Because Volkswagen wants to compete for the Shanghai market.
Although there is a lot of grievance between Lashou.com and Volkswagen, it is a competition between companies.
For Robin, Jiang Qin, the group that took advantage of their coupons, discounts and market share, is the biggest shadow in his heart.
So when Robin thought about the crisis that the group would encounter next, he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy from the bottom of his heart.
It’s like a warrior A fights with a god, and is defeated so desperately that he doesn’t even have the strength to fight. But suddenly one day, a stronger warrior B appears and stabs the god with a sword.
Warrior A was ecstatic. Although the victory did not belong to him, he would shout to God, "It turns out that you can also get hurt. You bear the name of God, but you are actually a mortal, right?" Then the shadow dissipated from his heart, and his realm reached a higher level.
However, upon hearing Robin's invitation, Jiang Qin, who liked to get something for free, surprisingly waved his hand.
"I'll skip breakfast. Thank you for inviting me, Mr. Luo. I just have some things to do at the branch station."
"Busy, everyone is busy, it's better to be busy."
Robin smiled fully and walked into the elevator with Jiang Qin, arriving at the first floor.
In his opinion, Jiang Qin might be hiding an anxious heart beneath his calm appearance, as anxious as he was when he encountered a group buying surprise attack at the end of last year. Otherwise, how could he not eat the free buffet breakfast!
Soon, the elevator arrived at the first floor. Cui Yiting, wearing a khaki windbreaker, was already waiting in the lobby and bowed slightly to the two people.
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Luo, good morning."
If it was half a year ago, Cui Yiting would definitely not be willing to bow to Jiang Qin. First of all, he was young, and secondly, he was nothing.
But when she bowed at this moment, Cui Yiting no longer had any burden in her heart, because whether it was his skill or control, all the impressions that Jiang Qin brought to the Shanghai market were enough to make people ignore his age.
"Good morning, Manager Cui. You are becoming more and more beautiful."
"Mr. Jiang, thank you for your praise."
Jiang Qin smiled slightly, exchanged a few words with Cui Yiting, and then left the hotel first.
Cui Yiting looked at Robin: "Why does Jiang Qin look so relaxed?"
"He is showing his ease to his subordinates. After all, he is leading the army in person. He must have the momentum of "I will go forward even if there are tens of thousands of people against me", otherwise the morale of the army will be shaken."
Dazhong and Pintuan are very similar in some aspects. Its review list is very similar to Pintuan's food list. In addition, Dazhong was a website that did not completely withdraw until the third round, so it is still full of energy.
The most important point is that Volkswagen has also been in a mess with the handle, and its strength is unfathomable.
The most terrifying thing is that they have Tencent’s support, so funds will continue to flow in, and they will never feel tired.
There is no doubt that between two such similar companies, only the strongest one will remain.
In fact, it is not just Luo Ping who thinks so, many people in the industry also speculate this way.
Dazhong has been running a lifestyle service website for five years. The team is more mature and has stronger capabilities than other websites. It is only a matter of time before it wins.
What will happen to the market in the end? Pintuan, Lashou and Nuomi were completely eliminated, and the entire business area was monopolized by Volkswagen, and the three-way competition ended.
If this is the case in the end, Nuomi will be hit hard first, and its southern route will be cut off again, as if a worm was cut into three sections. Lashou will be suppressed again and may lose the trust of investors. As for group buying, it will become difficult again.
Why? Because Shanghai is the main battlefield for group buying. Apart from here, they only have one market in Shenzhen and some second- and third-tier markets where their business has shrunk.
Apart from receiving 180 million yuan in financing, group buying can’t even make it into the first tier.
At this moment, within Volkswagen, the strategic decision on the Shanghai plan has been finalized.
Their life service platform itself started in Shanghai and gradually expanded across the country. For them, it is easy for them to take over the group buying market in Shanghai.
However, Mr. Yang Xueyu, the man they spent money to recruit, was very conflicted at this time.
Volkswagen poached him because he had worked in the group buying market in Shanghai and had old ties with the Lashou team. They not only wanted to take over the market share, but also wanted to take over the Lashou team and expand their own scale.
But Yang Xueyu refused in every possible way and refused to go back no matter what.
Are you kidding me? Why did I change jobs? I just didn't want to be suppressed by group buying, and now you want me to go back? Is that reasonable?
But Yang Xueyu was just a worker after all, and he couldn't beat the strong, so he was finally forced to volunteer. However, the person in charge this time was not him, but Chen Jiaxin, a woman nicknamed the Iron Lady.
She is the hero in Volkswagen's layout in Kyoto. She has elite troops under her command. Like Kang Jingtao of Lashou.com, she is very good at quick battles.
What do the public want from Shanghai? Quick entry, quick control, and quick clearance.
After the decision-making meeting, everyone immediately set off for the airport, and Yang Xueyu also met Volkswagen's Iron Lady, Chen Jiaxin, for the first time.
"Mr. Chen, I'm Yang Xueyu. I'm new to the company. Please give me your guidance."
"Um."
Chen Jiaxin glanced at him and nodded slightly. Without saying anything more, she turned around and got on the plane.
Seeing this scene, Yang Xueyu felt a little embarrassed. He stood in the boarding channel and kept grinning, a little confused about the other person's temper.
"Don't be surprised, Mr. Yang. Mr. Chen actually looks down on men a little."
"?"
Nuomi.com also has an employee who was poached named Jiang Peipei, who used to be the operations manager under Chang Changsong. She came earlier than Yang Xueyu and has a deeper understanding of Chen Jiaxin.
Jiang Peipei explained in a low voice: "Ms. Chen comes from a family that values boys over girls. She has been divorced twice and has suffered a lot, so she will never allow herself to lose to a man."
Yang Xueyu opened his mouth: "Is it possible?"
"Otherwise why is she called the Iron Lady?"
“…”
The plane took off, climbed to the predetermined altitude, and then entered a gentle cruising phase, and everyone began to eat.
Yang Xueyu found that the three male managers who came with the team all followed him and squatted at Chen Jiaxin's feet with small notebooks in their hands. And Ms. Chen, who was known as the Iron Lady, actually started to hold a meeting for them in such a condescending manner.
Yang Xueyu pulled the blanket up and pretended not to see anything, but he was actually listening carefully with his ears pricked up.
I have to say that Ms. Chen is indeed a practical person. She has figured out the entire Shanghai market in just a few words and even made a detailed layout for all the details.
The three male managers squatting nearby were silent and taking notes, like servants.
"It seems that this Chen Jiaxin is indeed a ruthless person..."
Yang Xueyu muttered something silently in his heart, and then fell into a deep sleep.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the plane arrived in Shanghai and the group checked into the Hilton Hotel.
They plan to start from the central business district of Pudong, so living nearby is the most appropriate.
Returning to the familiar place and the familiar lobby, Yang Xueyu felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. He thought, this is bad. With Jiang Qin's stubborn personality, he must be living here too. Maybe the two sides might even run into each other.
The most important thing is that this is the territory of his old employer. It would be really embarrassing if he ran into this.
"Oh, by the way, Lashou.com has a coupon for this hotel."
"?"
Yang Xueyu came to his senses and gave a kind reminder, but it attracted countless people's attention, and there seemed to be some disbelief in their eyes.
Chen Jiaxin spoke with a cold expression: "The company will reimburse the team's food and accommodation, so Mr. Yang doesn't need to worry about it."
"All right."
Yang Xueyu also felt that he was a bit stupid. This was Volkswagen, not that shameless company that did group buying.
Their business trips are fully reimbursed, unlike our rivals, who even fleece their rivals as part of their performance. I heard that if they fleece more, they will even get bonuses. It's simply unheard of.
"After everyone has checked in, please go back to your room and rest. After dinner at 6 pm, everyone will come to my room for a meeting. We will start the action tomorrow."
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
After Chen Jiaxin finished speaking, she looked at the more handsome of the three managers and said, "Zhang Li, come to my room after you put down your luggage."
"Okay...Okay, Mr. Chen." Zhang Li pursed his lips and nodded.
