Chapter 513: All girls are like this
Running a business does not mean that you cannot allow others to take over your shares, but you must understand which funds will be hot to hold.
Especially when your future industrial layout is in very strong conflict with your shareholders, or even involves competition in the same category, you will definitely be restricted.
At that time, weakness will become the original sin.
Jiang Qin's future plans happened to be in the forbidden areas of these two companies, so he could only use one side to scare the other side and be a fence-sitter at any time.
"Damn, is this what it feels like to be a scumbag?"
“…”
In the following days, Jiang Qin took Feng Nanshu around to shop and eat.
Except for being a little cry at night, and no one knows what's going on in her little head, the little rich girl is a sunny and cheerful girl during the day.
Then the two of them took the employees of the Shenzhen branch to do team-building, eat and sing.
When the employees of the branch station saw the boss and his wife singing "Friends Walk Together for Life" and "My Good Brother, Tell Me If You Have Any Trouble in Your Heart", everyone was confused.
As August approached, the two of them traveled all the way to Yuecheng and visited the thousand-year-old Big Buddha Temple, which is the place that many netizens have described as the real-life version of "Spirited Away".
The rich young woman was wearing a white floral dress and a khaki fisherman's hat. She waved at Jiang Qin and shouted, "Brother, hurry up." The strange night began to become lively and bright.
During this time, Peng Sheng always thought that Jiang Qin would come to visit again.
Why? Because he felt that Jiang Qin's real purpose was to discuss cooperation with the payment platform to ensure the subsequent development of group buying. As a result, he didn't even meet him last time, which was equivalent to a wasted trip.
To be honest, the reason why Li Haidong of Tenpay did not meet Jiang Qin was not only because of the initial cooperation with Dianping, but also partly because of the arrangement of the investment department.
They still hope to acquire a stake in Pintuan. In this way, by holding the two most powerful group-buying websites in their hands, Tencent may become the biggest winner in the group-buying war.
Therefore, they wanted to use the cooperation agreement with Tenpay as a bargaining chip to persuade Jiang Qin.
After all, for the upcoming group buying war, payment tools are a necessity.
Moreover, since the last contact, Peng Sheng felt that although Jiang Qin was hesitant, he was actually quite willing to accept Tencent's investment.
In this way, the funds and online payment platforms are all available, right? But what he didn't expect was that Jiang Qin never showed up again after that incident, as if he had retired, and this retirement would last forever.
"Boss Jiang's behavior is really hard to understand..."
Peng Sheng thought about it over and over in the office, but he couldn't figure it out.
At this time, Jiang Qin had already brought Feng Nanshu to Hangzhou. After a night of rest, he met with Alipay CEO Pang Rui.
Just like Tencent, their investment manager Lu Zhichuan also came, and even said the same thing, which is that if you need funds, I will definitely invest heavily.
“We are really short of money…”
"But even though I'm nervous, I still believe we can hold on..."
"If the group buying fund is really cut off one day, I will come here to ask for funds without you telling me..."
Jiang Qin did not show any resistance, but was just hesitant. He seemed to be moved but could not make up his mind, and his attitude was very ambiguous.
Lu Zhichuan couldn't stop being hooked by Jiang Qin, just like a bad girl who neither refused nor agreed to your confession.
I keep telling you, if you work harder, you can catch up with me. If you catch up, I will give you hehehe.
Just… hot-blooded! However, although the negotiation on the equity investment failed, the details of Alipay's connection with group buying and Zhihu's help in promoting Alipay among college students nationwide went smoothly.
Pang Rui is different from Qi Zhong of the WeChat promotion department and Li Haidong, the head of Tenpay. She doesn't care about the company's investments or layout, nor will she help Lu Zhichuan persuade Jiang Qin to join Alibaba in her own name.
Because the Alipay project is the most important layout in the Alibaba ecosystem and the cornerstone of e-commerce, her authority is very high. No matter what investment project it is, it must give way to this promotion plan.
Jiang Qin currently has access to college student resources across the country and all consumer markets in first-tier cities, which are the promotion channels that Pang Rui values most.
Therefore, even if Jiang Qin does not accept Alibaba’s investment, no one can stop Alipay from integrating into group buying.
In this regard, Tenpay's positioning is the opposite.
Because their business is far less important to the current Tencent system than the promotion of WeChat, the two major companies have different attitudes towards group buying. This is the difference in product positioning and industrial layout.
It is precisely because of such subtle differences that Jiang Qin was able to have the best of both worlds.
"Then let's carry out the joint promotion at the agreed time."
"Yes, we will also send a special technical team to connect Alipay to group buying."
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
Jiang Qin stood up and shook hands with Pang Rui. They smiled at each other, as bright as spring sunshine.
Young and steady, flamboyant but not arrogant, this was the impression Pang Rui had when she first met Jiang Qin. At that time, in her eyes, Mr. Jiang was just a college student who was determined to start a business.
Unexpectedly, in just two years, everyone is sitting at the same negotiating table.
Pang Rui had thought highly of Jiang Qin at first, but she didn't expect that she still underestimated him.
Plan first and develop on two fronts. Thinking about how fierce the group buying industry is in the group buying war, she doesn't know how far Jiang Qin can go. The key point is that he is only 20 years old and can outlast many people.
Pang Rui sighed, said goodbye to Jiang Qin, turned around and left the meeting room.
Jiang Qin also stood up, buttoned up his suit, and smoothed out the wrinkles with his hands, apparently intending to leave.
At this time, Lu Zhichuan was the only one sitting in the conference room, feeling extremely helpless.
I still haven't convinced the other party. Maybe the excitement he felt just now was just an illusion.
However, just as Lu Zhichuan was reviewing Jiang Qin's words and trying to re-position the other party's behavioral logic, Jiang Qin's gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Boss Lu, it's getting evening, how about we have dinner together?"
"?"
Lu Zhichuan paused in drinking tea and squeezed his hands on the table involuntarily.
It's not an illusion.
There is hope. There is definitely hope for investing and holding shares.
Because Jiang Qin had already discussed the cooperation with Alipay, if he did not accept the investment demand, he could just leave at this time without making such an invitation.
Based on Lu Zhichuan's many years of experience in the industry, Jiang Qin has indeed not yet considered accepting investment, but his willingness to maintain his relationship with him means that he has left himself a way to accept investment.
"Mr. Jiang, aren't you just slapping me in the face with this? I'm the host and you're the guest. How can I let the guest treat me? If anyone wants to treat me, I have to do it."
Jiang Qin looked at him seriously: "Boss Lu, I actually have a good impression of you because you look a lot like a good friend of mine in college, his name is Zhuang Chen."
After listening to this, Lu Zhichuan raised his lips and said, "No wonder I felt like I knew Mr. Jiang very well from the first sight."
"So what shall we eat?"
When Lu Zhichuan heard the words "what to eat", he couldn't help but frowned and hesitated for more than twenty seconds without saying a word.
Jiang Qin nodded: "Your silence at this moment is a bit deafening."
“…”
At eight o'clock in the evening, when the lights were on and the moonlight was deep, two people came out of the river, with a satisfied smile on their faces at the same time.
Then Lu Zhichuan pointed to the street to the east with an expression that showed you know what I mean.
That is the end of the business cooperation, a place called Foot Bath Street.
Looking around, the neon lights on the opposite side are flashing, which looks as dreamy as the scene in Spirited Away. The bright lights and feasting attract countless men who are lost in the night.
The young lady who works here seemed to have been under the spell of Yubaba and forgot her original name. She only remembered that her name was "Xinxin", "Nana", "Xiangxiang", "Menrou" and so on.
Although they have forgotten their names, they still have dreams, such as saving enough money and returning to the village to find an honest brother...
Seeing this scene, Jiang Qin's eyes lit up and he immediately walked across the street impatiently.
Lu Zhichuan smiled from behind and thought that all men are the same. They can't move their legs when they see this place.
But it’s also good this way. Once we’ve washed feet together, we’re brothers and some things will be easier to talk about.
But what Lu Zhichuan didn't expect was that Jiang Qin didn't go to the foot bath city, but came to a store called "Colorful Ice Cream" at the intersection with some surprise.
"Hello, could you give me a colorful ice cream?"
"Would you like a large or small portion?"
"A small portion is fine. Don't give her too much."
Jiang Qin took out his wallet and paid, then rubbed his hands and waited. When he got the rainbow-like ice cream, he exclaimed, "Boss Lu, would you like one? I have a good friend who likes to eat this kind of colorful dessert."
Lu Zhichuan looked at Jiang Qin in confusion, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He had seen this man smile many times today, sometimes mysteriously, sometimes confidently, sometimes modestly, and sometimes cautiously, but this was the first time he could really feel that he was very happy.
"Mr. Jiang's friend is a girl?"
"How do you know that?"
Lu Zhichuan didn't answer, but was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at the foot massage parlor across the street, then took out his wallet and rummaged around: "Hey, give me a serving of colorful ice cream, too."
Jiang Qin turned and looked at him: "Eat by yourself?"
"No, I suddenly remembered that my wife also seems to like eating colorful things like this."
"Hey, girls are all the same."
“…”
