Chapter 646 What if we sleep in the same bed?
In late summer, a light rain wet the busy street, bringing a hint of coolness. Small puddles formed in the low-lying areas on the roadside, and when they were full, they overflowed and merged into a trickle of water.
This was early September, the first day of school for freshmen. Ele.me had held several conferences beforehand just to capitalize on this day to capture the college student market.
To this end, they have developed a series of preferential activities targeting college students.
For example, new users who register and complete their first order can exchange it for a back-to-school gift pack, and those who attract new users can exchange it for discount coupons.
They hope to achieve growth in business orders through dissemination and fission.
Near Linchuan University Town, sales representatives recruited by Ele.Buy carried roll-up banners as tall as their own and blocked the route that new students had to take to promote their products.
At this time, the round fans purchased in group have already flowed into the hands of students along with various back-to-school gift packages.
"The rain is getting heavier, how about we call it a day?"
"The number has not yet reached the target, so the base salary will be deducted."
"But the weather is bad today, and there's no point squatting any longer. So, let's come earlier and leave later tomorrow, and just pull more people."
The two salesmen in charge of Linchuan University's ground promotion activities are Jiamei Marketing Company, one named Axiang and the other Awei. Currently, they have been outsourced to Ele.me to help them with ground promotion.
Two people had been squatting at the door since morning, handing out flyers with umbrellas, but the effect was not ideal.
It’s not that I don’t have the ability, it’s just that the weather is bad.
Most of the new students enter the school quickly, carrying their luggage and holding umbrellas, without staying for too long.
However, according to their experience, this is only temporary. Once the weather gets better, the ground marketing activities will go smoothly.
Axiang and Awei stood up, put away their umbrellas, and then walked towards the alley where the electric bikes were parked under the awnings of the shops on the pedestrian street.
The road ahead is low-lying. When they came, it was just a small puddle of water. Now it is difficult to walk. Fortunately, the flooded road surface has bricks laid by nearby businesses, so it is not impossible to pass.
The two of them moved like blue butterflies, and in a flash they reached the other side. They took out the key and opened the chain lock of the rear wheel of the electric car.
"Do you have any paper? My car seat is wet."
"No, but... there is a flyer."
Axiang found a flyer in his bicycle basket, then pulled it out and handed it over.
Awei took it and took a quick look at it. He only saw the four words "Pintuan·Yunshan" and then he pressed it on the car seat and rubbed it violently.
"The quality is quite good, there is no scratches..."
“What’s good quality?”
"It's okay, go back quickly, I think the heavy rain will come soon."
Awei looked up at the sky and saw that the dark clouds on the opposite side were gathering more and more. He couldn't help but urge.
At this time, Axiang had already put on his raincoat and packed all the things he needed for the sales. He put them in a box under his feet and drove towards the exit of the pedestrian street.
Just as they drove out of the pedestrian street, a man and three women holding umbrellas came from the opposite side of the street, walked on the wet ground, entered the Fenghuali community opposite, and then came to 101, Unit 1, Building 1.
This is a standard three-bedroom, one-living room apartment. The master bedroom is at the end of the corridor, opposite are two secondary bedrooms, and to the right are the living room and kitchen.
The room has been cleaned and is equipped with a TV, refrigerator and air conditioner. Because it is on the first floor, there is a 15-square-meter small courtyard in front of the balcony, and you can walk out by pushing open the glass door.
"Oh hoo, roommate!"
"Go team, go check out the bedroom!"
Wang Haini and Gao Wenhui ran into the house and pushed open the doors of the three bedrooms. The beds and bedding inside were all new, and Wei Lanlan had arranged for someone to prepare them before they came.
Feng Nanshu also looked curious and looked left and right.
She was wearing a waist-hugging suspender skirt today, paired with a white chiffon with lantern sleeves, her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, and her eyes were lively.
The rental business in this community opposite Linda has always been very popular, because many college couples who want to live together, or academic elites who want to prepare for postgraduate entrance exams or civil service exams, will come out to live here for the sake of a quiet environment.
A number of houses were just vacated during the summer vacation, and notices for rent have been posted in recent days.
At present, the headquarters building of the group has not been completed yet, and the core part cannot be moved there for the time being. Feng Nanshu also has a lot of professional courses in his first year of graduate school, so renting a small home is a good choice.
Soon, the three girls selected a room. Before the novelty had worn off, they enthusiastically went out for a walk around the neighborhood with umbrellas and bought some vegetables.
Fenghuali has its own supermarket, which is less than 200 meters away from No. 1, and the products inside are quite complete.
"I wonder if Mr. Jiang will live with us." Wang Haini suddenly spoke.
Gao Wenhui was picking apples. She looked up after hearing this and said, "He didn't seem to say he wanted to live in the dormitory."
Feng Nanshu was stunned for a moment: "But there are only three rooms."
"You are really smart when you are smart, and really stupid when you are stupid. It is obvious that Mr. Jiang wants to sleep in the same bed with you, otherwise why doesn't he rent a four-bedroom apartment? He is not short of money, haha, bad man."
"But Jiang Qin doesn't even sleep in the same bed with me at home."
Wang Haini picked up a carrot, looked at it from front to back, and said casually: "It's inconvenient at home, but outside, everything can be done!"
Gao Wenhui nodded: "He doesn't kiss you at home, and he takes you to the woods every day at school."
Feng Nanshu tilted his head and thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that the little tiger was drooling last night. Then he left Gao Wenhui and Wang Haini, turned around and went to the checkout, took a small box from the shelf and put it in his pocket, his expression was a little serious.
Wang Haini had just finished picking radishes and looked up: "Hey, where's Nanshu?"
"I don't know. Maybe he went to buy some candy."
“…”
When the three of them were strolling in the supermarket, Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing drove over and brought Potian Fugui to them.
Fuguier has grown a lot now, but he is still very strong and worthy of his name.
Jiang Qin had just helped Feng Nanshu make the bed. When he heard them come in, he took them to the living room.
"We have completed the preparations for Cloud QuickPass. We used this time to do a trial promotion in Linchuan, and the results were quite good. The national promotion is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, one month earlier than the Alipay promotion date."
"Have you thoroughly understood the wild promotion plan I picked up?"
Tan Qing coughed and said, "I've understood it thoroughly. The promotion plan is very detailed, and we have also adjusted it based on the existing channels of group buying."
Jiang Qin leaned on the sofa and was silent for a while: "Promoting payment tools is a big project. Because it involves money, users will be very cautious, so we will have a lot of hard work in the future, but it is worth it, because if Cloud QuickPass can be successful, group buying will be truly closed."
"clear."
Wei Lanlan brought a set of tea sets and made tea for Jiang Qin: "After Cloud QuickPass is integrated into group buying, should the Alipay interface be cancelled?"
Jiang Qin shook his head: "If we cancel it, we'll fall out. Once Cloud QuickPass is launched, we can lower the payment priority."
"OK."
"How are you lately, aren't you hungry?"
After hearing this, Tan Qing pulled out a flyer from his bag and said, "Recently, flyers of Ele.Buy have appeared around the university town. It seems that they don't want to waste time with us in the lower-tier markets and want to grab the market share of the university town."
Jiang Qin nodded: "Are there any other interesting industry trends?"
"At the beginning of the year, Alibaba restarted the Koubei.com project with the help of Koubei Waimai. It seems that they invested a lot of money in it some time ago and are still doing group buying. In addition, they also launched a travel ticket purchasing website called Ali Travel."
During this period of the takeout war, the group buying business has also been busy.
The Ministry of Commerce, led by Sun Zhi, has been discussing various ticket purchasing channels. Currently, group ticket purchases and group performances have been launched online. Alibaba is following closely behind. Although its actions are not big, it always makes people feel that it is eyeing them covetously.
But people in the circle are a little confused. They have already lost once, so what is the point in trying again?
Because group buying has already been established and various closed loops are closely connected, it is really difficult for Alibaba to compete with group buying in this regard, and the cost is far greater than the rewards.
But as a reborn person, Jiang Qin understands their business ideas very well.
"Alipay is currently the dominant player. Almost all online shopping users belong to Alipay. Whether it is Taobao or group buying, all online payments must go through Alipay, which generates a huge amount of traffic."
"Ali has been constantly exploring the life field and doing various projects similar to group buying. In fact, it wants to use Alipay's traffic to integrate them into a whole in the end."
"Integration..."
"Yes, you can open Alipay and do group buying, order takeout, and buy tickets, so you don't need to use other apps. That's probably their idea."
Tan Qing opened his mouth slightly: "First develop separately, and then merge together? No wonder Alibaba has so many new projects in the field of life services in recent times!"
Wei Lanlan listened to their words, thought about it for a while, and then said: "Then... Alipay has become a group buying platform dominated by payment function."
“I think they planned it this way.”
"Boss, isn't this your idea of building a traffic pool first and then incubating other industries?"
Jiang Qin nodded. "Almost. But Alipay forgot one thing. If you try too hard, you won't be able to do anything well. Maybe in the end, everyone will find that it's getting more and more complicated, and the interface is getting more and more fancy, which will have the opposite effect."
After listening to this, Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing nodded thoughtfully, but they still admired the female executive of Alipay.
During the group buying war, Lashou.com was obviously invested by Alibaba, but it insisted on cooperating with Pintuan against all odds. Combined with joint marketing and card-binding red envelopes, it occupied the entire market in just half a year.
Then Alibaba seemed to have invested in many unrelated industries, and kept testing the waters behind group buying, as if it was unwilling to accept the failure of Lashou and Koubei takeout. However, if we regard them as components of Alipay, they will become a combined force in the future...
Then, these layouts become another different situation.
Let’s not talk about the later effects of this layout, but the idea alone is brilliant.
With the development of Internet business till now, they have only seen Jiang Qin dare to play like this.
However, Jiang Qin incubated first and then split, while Alibaba did the opposite, building first and then combining.
Both of these development models are ingenious, but no one knows who will win and who will lose in the end, so we can only leave it to time to be the judge.
At this moment, the door of Room 101 was opened, and Feng Nanshu, Gao Wenhui and Wang Haini came back from strolling in the community, their umbrellas still wet in their hands.
Seeing this, Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing immediately stood up, calling her "Boss Lady" and hugged her.
Gao Wenhui and Wang Haini also greeted them, then placed daily necessities such as toilet paper on the coffee table, and then went to the kitchen with the purchased vegetables.
"?"
Jiang Qin looked at the plastic bag they put down, frowned slightly, and reached out to feel around. As a result, he took out a box of Lan Elf from the bag, the largest size.
Oh no, someone is going to be slept with.
