Chapter 537 Subversion (Update)
This group buying exchange seminar was sponsored by Dianping.com. It was really hard to understand why the boss and the general manager were late together.
In particular, several website executives sitting in the second row kept discussing this scene for a long time.
In Kyoto, there are currently only business areas for Dianping.com and GroupPin, so other websites do not have any sources of information targeting the market, which has always been confusing.
But at this moment, Jiang Qin, who was sitting in front of them, suddenly turned his head and looked at them.
"Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chen, maybe they are busy posing in front of the camera."
"?"
After Jiang Qin finished speaking, he turned his head back, opened the photo album on his phone, and clicked on the last photo.
Yang Xueyu ran too fast just now. In such a handsome scene, he only took a photo of himself. It was such a waste.
He operated his mobile phone and sent the photo to Feng Nanshu, thinking that his good friend would be so fascinated by this photo with a crooked mouth that he would call him brother.
Having said that, he made such a long-term plan, luring people into the trap step by step, and finally pushing the public to the wall with one force, so logically one should be looking forward to their expressions.
But for some reason, he felt that he was more looking forward to Feng Nanshu calling him brother and pampering her little Zuo and Xiao You.
At this moment, the lights in the conference hall suddenly dimmed, and the seminar finally began after a five-minute delay.
As music started, a figure walked onto the stage. However, surprisingly, this person was not Zhang Tao or Chen Jiaxin, but Yang Xueyu.
“Dear colleagues in the industry and representatives of investors, welcome to come from afar to participate in the group buying industry exchange conference hosted by Dianping.”
"Group buying is an inclusive industry, a friendly and harmonious industry..."
"From 2009 to 2011, we continued to explore the joint development model of the Internet and traditional industries, and successively entered the catering group buying, hotel group buying... and changed the pattern of the traditional market."
"The group buying industry can be so brilliant, it is inseparable from the efforts of everyone present, and it is also inseparable from the trust and support of consumers."
“…”
“Finally, I sincerely hope that everyone can actively communicate and speak up to lead the entire industry towards a better tomorrow.”
Yang Xueyu stood on the stage, thanked the guests, made some official opening remarks, and finally looked at Jiang Qin deeply. Then he lowered his head and walked away, leaving everyone confused.
This is fucking illogical.
Why did Dianping spend so much money and effort to hold a conference? Just to let everyone know that they are the boss now.
So according to the normal order, the first person to come on stage must be the boss Zhang Tao.
He needs to comment on the entire industry in a boastful manner and speak some empty official language to support the quality of this conference.
Then it was the general manager Chen Jiaxin's turn, who read out a string of data, such as sales volume breakthrough, total sales level, and then gave a soaring outlook on Dianping's subsequent development.
As a result, they waited for a long time, but only Yang Xueyu came up and read a few bland opening speeches. This was too low-key.
Not only did two important figures not appear on stage, but they didn't even brag about themselves.
"Dianping has changed its style? Do they really want to be inclusive and friendly?"
"have no idea……"
Because no one took the lead in bragging at the beginning, the atmosphere of this group buying industry seminar became weird.
The people who spoke on stage afterwards also felt a little unimpressive, and then the content of the meeting really turned into studying the development of the industry.
But, which good person would not brag in a meeting and just do his work?
What was even more surprising was that Jiang Qin sat very steadily in the middle of the first row. Even when someone on the stage raised questions about the recent integrity issues in the group buying industry, he did not make any response.
This strange seminar ended peacefully until dusk when the sun was about to set.
There is no insinuation against group buying, and no subtext of forcing the number one position in group buying onto one's own head.
Everyone was confused and didn't understand the significance of this seminar.
Is the purpose of this meeting to show that the banquet hall rented by Dianping is large and good? Kang Jingtao was the first to walk out of the hall, but he did not go downstairs, but went to the west side of the corridor.
He was still thinking about the signing ceremony next door, because he always felt that was the highlight, but when he walked to the door, he found that the door of the banquet hall next door was locked and even the lights were off.
Wow, are you confused after washing your feet? Was the signing ceremony I saw yesterday an illusion?
Kang Jingtao felt a little unconfident, so he turned around and went to look for Robin and the others, because they had seen the signing ceremony together yesterday.
However, just as he found Luo Ping, Robin, Chang Jiansong and the others, and before he had time to say anything, the cell phone in his pocket rang, and the cell phones of several other people also rang.
Everyone took out their phones almost at the same time, and then raised them to their ears, listening to the voice on the phone, and gradually held their breath...
"Dianping has been led by the rhythm..."
"The photos of the dinner and the seminar have all been leaked, as well as the photos of your unfinished buffet being dumped into the trash. Everyone is saying that Volkswagen didn't refund or respond, but spent a lot of money on sensual pleasures."
"Also, at the signing event they were going to hold, more than half of the brands didn't show up. The photos made the headlines and spread very quickly. Everyone took it as a joke."
"Can you imagine? A group buying website invites merchants to sign contracts, and the first three rows are empty."
"Other partner merchants are a bit panicked. They don't know what went wrong with Dianping. Many have already suspended business."
"The worst thing is..."
"The worst thing is that many chain brands have started to conduct joint marketing with group buying. Many new products can only be purchased through group buying."
"Is there an elevator near you? Or you can go to the subway entrance or bus stop and you should be able to see it..."
"There are so many ads, all bright yellow. The first one is the merchant's ad, and then it pops up at the end to join the group buying. It saves you a lot of trouble and money."
"What about flipping the table? What about breaking the jar? We are wrong. We all guessed wrong. Every step he took was linked together. He first occupied the moral high ground, then won over consumers, and then collaborated with countless big brands. Volkswagen is in trouble."
"Don't mess with Jiang Qin. Come back quickly after the meeting. We still have a lot of things to investigate."
"Damn it, many of those brands that suddenly turned against us were the ones that had been cooperating with us from the beginning to the end. Didn't we say we were like a family?"
Everyone present heard almost the same news, so everyone fell silent, and those who knew each other and those who didn't looked at each other.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
At this time, many people were still coming out of the venue. Some of them had not received the call yet. Seeing everyone standing there stupidly, they asked around in confusion.
The whispers gradually began to rise...
There were also some action-oriented people who had already run to the elevator, watched the advertisement of Xitian’s new milk tea specially launched for group buying, and fell into silence for a long time.
From mid-October to now, they have been watching the entire incident unfold and slowly ferment, and it can be said that they have not missed any details.
Especially when public opinion had an impact on group buying, many people added fuel to the flames.
But even for such an event that they had been following from beginning to end, the final result overturned everyone's expectations.
"No wonder Zhang Tao and Chen Jiaxin didn't come to the meeting. Yang Xueyu's speech was so low-key. I guess they are already very worried."
Luo Ping pursed his lips and couldn't help but take out a cigarette from his pocket and light it up.
He is the senior manager in charge of the second and third tier markets of Lashou.com, and the only person at the scene who has never had a head-on confrontation with Jiang Qin.
But now that I was there in person, I suddenly understood what my brother felt like when he said he had nightmares every day.
Robin sighed, his expression extremely complicated: "Xueyu is actually a very good person, an intellectual, and speaks elegantly, but it's a pity that he has a bad fate..."
"That's great. I've given you another day to live."
Kang Jingtao's mind was confused, and the words Jiang Qin repeated in the buffet restaurant kept echoing in his mind.
"After this incident, Pintuan will no longer be afraid of public opinion in the next stage of development. I thought they would open their accounts in a bold manner, but after these three steps, it is a one-time solution."
Chang Jiansong lit a cigarette and smoked for a while: "He has always refused to accept large companies to invest in him. He will have to go through this kind of public opinion war many times."
Luo Ping turned to look at him and said, "It takes a lot of investment to set up community group buying and build a supply chain. Maybe the group buying business really has no money left, but if even this can't bring him down, there will be no chance in the future."
At this moment, a figure walked out of the banquet hall, holding his stomach, with a listless expression on his face, looking a little unhappy.
When everyone saw him, they subconsciously retreated to both sides like a tide.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang."
"Hello, Mr. Jiang..."
Jiang Qin nodded: "I'm hungry, is there anyone who wants to treat me to a meal?"
“…”
Although everyone present belonged to different companies, who wouldn't want to treat Jiang Qin to a meal? What if he changed jobs in the future...
So many people took out their wallets and rushed to buy.
Jiang Qin did not show favoritism. He waved his hand and told everyone to come, then led these people out of the banquet hall and walked into the nearest business district in the darkness.
When everyone saw the bright yellow posters appearing at bus stops, store windows, elevators and outdoor screens, they felt as if they were slapped in the face and were so dazzled that they could hardly open their eyes.
"Mr. Jiang, what would you like to eat? Japanese or Western food?"
"Just eat something good and expensive, but don't use group buying. I'm a traditional person and can't accept this new way of consumption."
“…”
