Chapter 651 My Husband is Back
UnionPay's promotion campaign in university towns continued vigorously, and UnionPay's offline market expanded instantly. After reading the briefings during this period, Pang Rui's face became more and more serious.
One afternoon after the Double Ninth Festival, Jin Bin received a call from Zhang Xuhao and hurried to Pang Rui's office.
As soon as he entered the door, he noticed the green plant next to his desk.
Before the emergence of Cloud QuickPass, Jin Bin remembered that this pot of green plants was still very lush and green, but now it seems a little wilted.
"Boss Pang, Boss Zhang from Ele.me called and said he wants to compete with Alipay for the college student market."
“No, we can’t avoid the group buying supply chain.”
Jin Bin took out a stack of information and said, "According to my investigation, the group supply chain currently only has self-built warehouses with rough processing capabilities in 26 regions. In other words, not all contractors in the university town have signed up for the group supply chain."
Pang Rui turned around, took the information he had collected, took a look at it, and said nothing.
"The development of self-built logistics is very slow. We just need to start from where the group supply chain cannot reach, which is actually very easy."
"Then have you ever thought about why Jiang Qin insisted on dragging Hungry into the battle?"
Jin Bin was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you just bring it with you?"
Pang Rui shook her head wearily: "The reason why group buying is not involved in the Elephant Shopping is to get Alibaba to invest money, and then start a price war with Alibaba to increase market demand, and then push the group buying supply chain to a place they can't reach."
After hearing this, Jin Bin fell silent.
"This is a trap to lure us into the college student market. In the end, no matter whether we win or lose, Jiang Qin will get the upper hand."
Ele.bu had previously been involved in a fierce price war with Pintuan Takeout, and Pintuan's supply chain took advantage of the situation to expand aggressively. Now that the payment war has begun, Jiang Qin has kidnapped Ele.bu again, and it is clear that he still wants to engage in a price war.
If it was the old Pang Rui , she would probably have agreed.
Just like what she said before, no project of Alibaba is qualified to block the development of Alipay.
But now, she began to reflect.
It was this idea that led her to favor group buying in the group buying war, and thus raised a ferocious tiger.
Now, if she ignores the overall situation and continues to support Ele.me's efforts without burning money, group buying may not even make money, and the transportation costs will be wasted, and the group buying supply chain will be built along the way.
He is the supplier, the sales platform, and the largest social forum for college students in the country. In this closed loop, their development speed will be very rapid.
Yes, Jiang Qin has always said that he is not interested in e-commerce, but who believes such bullshit? He also said that he is not interested in money.
Once the group buying’s self-built logistics is completed, Alibaba will definitely have another competitor in the e-commerce field, which will be very fatal.
Pang Rui always felt that Jiang Qin seemed to be cheating in doing business. Not only could he control himself, he could even predict the development of his opponents.
[I bet Alipay can get a license]
[A thing that looks like a barcode, once scanned, the consumer's money is instantly deposited into our pockets]
Pang Rui recalled the first time she met Jiang Qin. When she heard him talk about this, she always felt powerless as if she had been cursed with weakness.
"Then Mr. Pang, I will go and reject Mr. Zhang."
"Go ahead."
"There's... one more thing."
"What's up?"
"Some media photographed Jiang Qin leaving Linchuan and traveling around the four major cities."
The promotion of Yunsuanfu in the university town is very smooth, just like a little girl who doesn’t resist, but not as good as his little rich woman who is a little bit aggressive.
To be honest, Jiang Qin really hopes that Alipay can support Ele.me so that they can play a game together and it won’t be so boring.
However, Pang Rui obviously discovered the group-buying supply chain, which was hiding behind the scenes, and was unwilling to continue burning money in the food delivery arena, but Jiang Qin would not stop.
After the Double Ninth Festival, he went on business trips everywhere and personally presided over the promotion of UnionPay QuickPass in first-tier cities.
A week later, as autumn deepened, Wanzhong Shopping Malls in the four first-tier cities began to recommend UnionPay QuickPass settlement and offered exclusive preferential prices.
Xihanheqing’s business district has also fully integrated with Cloud QuickPass, and one product even has two price tags.
One is the original price, and the other is the price of Cloud Quick Pass.
Subsequently, Xihanheqing's original membership card system was officially integrated into Pintuan Cloud QuickPass.
From Crazy Monday to Crazy Friday...the rhythm of the entire market was almost strangled by Yunshanfu.
Kyoto is brightly lit after dark. Two huge LED screens are erected on the streets of Sanlitun. The one on the left is Alipay, and the one on the right is UnionPay QuickPass, echoing each other under the night sky.
The glass windows along the street reflected the lights at night, and the whole world seemed to be left with only the blue of Alipay and the yellow of UnionPay QuickPass.
“I’m actually a little lonely.”
Jiang Qin and Yao Shengdong from the Kyoto branch were walking on the streets of Sanlitun, looking at this colorful and somewhat unreal city, feeling inexplicably emotional.
Yao Shengdong was a little confused: "Why, boss?"
"I used to be able to use Dianping's coupons when I went out to eat, but now... I can only use my own."
"???????"
Jiang Qin found a hot pot restaurant and walked in. As soon as he entered the door, he ran into an acquaintance.
The man opposite was dressed in a suit and had shiny hair. When he saw Jiang Qin, he was slightly stunned, then his eyes avoided him somewhat unnaturally.
"Zhenhao, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'll go pay the bill, you guys go get a taxi first."
The man in the suit is Zhou Zhenhao, the pioneer of group buying back then. When we meet again now, he seems to have lost his former frivolity.
He is now in partnership with someone in the house rental business and has also set up a website, but the competitive pressure is still very high. During the peak rental season, he even has to go out and take people to view houses himself.
Thinking back to the group buying war that year, he boasted that he could fight Jiang Qin on equal terms. After the Sui Xin group sold at a low price, he had been resentful that Ye Ziqing and Cui Yiting would rather consult Jiang Qin than listen to his plan. But thinking back on it now, he felt as if it was a dream.
Zhou Zhenhao didn't intend to say hello. He pretended not to know him and took out his cell phone.
But just when he was about to click on Cloud QuickPass, his hand suddenly paused, and then he swiped to the next page and clicked on Alipay.
The discount for not using UnionPay QuickPass may be his last pride.
After the payment was completed, Zhou Zhenhao and Jiang Qin passed each other and walked into the dark night outside the door. He looked up at the huge group buying cloud flash payment on the LED screen, and the feeling of disappointment in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.
What was once a group buying website in a university town has become a unicorn that can compete with Alibaba for market share four years later.
"Boss, who is that?"
"No one, just a friend of a friend, not very close."
Jiang Qin found an empty table and sat down, turned on his phone, and started typing messages.
"I just finished work and went out to eat with Yao Shengdong, the male manager of the Kyoto branch, in Sanlitun. No girls, over."
Soon after the message was sent, the other party also replied.
"I took professional courses in the new building of the School of Finance. There were boys in the class, but they were not handsome. Over."
“…”
In the season of falling leaves, the maple forest of Linda has turned from fiery red to somewhat withered yellow. The morning sunlight penetrates the gaps between the leaves, casting spots all over the ground, making the pedestrian path of College Road 2 more autumnal.
The School of Finance has become extremely wealthy in recent years. Even graduate students have independent teaching buildings and dormitory buildings. It is obvious at first glance that they are very wealthy.
At this time, in Room 203 on the second floor of the Graduate School, a group of first-year graduate students were doing their own things before their professional courses began.
Some were watching TV series with headphones on, some were doing manicures, some boys were talking about last night's game, and some were alone, constantly flipping through their phones.
The concept of class at the graduate level is very vague, because students in the same class belong to different instructors, and the concept of fellow students is far greater than the relationship of taking classes together.
The Department of Finance has about eight professional courses per week, which adds up to less than two courses a day. So even after more than two months of school opening, there is still a strong sense of unfamiliarity among everyone.
But this is actually the norm. Some people may not know how many people are in their class even after graduation, and even if they play, they will only play with people in their own small circle.
"Is it true what you said about the end of the world?"
“Nonsense.”
"The Mayans are really mysterious..."
"If the end of the world is real, I must find a boyfriend before December 21st."
As the winter of 2012 approached, a Mayan prophecy suddenly became popular on the Internet, with people discussing it on major social media platforms every day and the popularity remained high.
There was a hailstorm in the northern region some time ago, which was seen as a sign of the end of the world.
Also, some time ago, an electrical switch box in an old building of Linda suddenly caught fire, which was also regarded as the end of the world.
With the development of the Internet and the hype of self-media, the concept of the end of the world is becoming less and less like a sign of disaster and more like an Internet carnival.
At this moment, a slender figure walked slowly through the corridor, passed through the light of morning light, and quietly entered the classroom.
The discussions in the classroom suddenly became quieter, and people around couldn't help but look back.
"So beautiful, it really becomes more beautiful the more I look at it..."
"What was her name?"
"Feng Nanshu."
The rich girl wore a light blue sweatshirt and washed jeans today. She tied her hair into a high ponytail, revealing her slender swan neck. Her bright eyes were a little innocent and clear, but her expression was cool and sassy. Her fair, rich and beautiful temperament could not be concealed at all.
I remember when I first entered school, many boys in the graduate school were stunned when they saw her for the first time.
She was standing in the welcoming ceremony team, not making any noise, but because of her face, her presence was still very strong.
"Hey, are you bewitched?"
Xie Ziyi, who was sitting in the third row, couldn't help but reach out and pat Lu Wenhao in front of her, with the corners of her mouth slightly pursed, looking a little arrogant.
Seeing this, Xie Ziyi's best friend Zhang Shuya covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing.
Lu Wenhao is a handsome and sunny boy. You can tell at first glance that he is a popular guy. From his clothes, you can also tell that he comes from a well-off family. He is a high-quality man.
Xie Ziyi was also quite interested in him, and they had been scheduled to have dinner together no less than five times in the past two months.
However, Lu Wenhao is not a man who keeps quiet. He has been involved in three scandals since he enrolled in school. One of them even involved a senior who was an undergraduate teaching assistant. He is a complete scumbag.
But the more bad boys like this, the more popular they are, which is outrageous.
"Do you have any thoughts about the beautiful Feng? Do you want me to give you my WeChat ID?"
"You know her?"
"I don't know him, but we have the same tutor and were previously assigned to the same research group."
Xie Ziyi is also a beautiful woman with delicate looks. She has always been confident about her appearance, but after meeting Feng Nanshu, she felt very frustrated.
People are afraid of being contrasted. Once contrasted, her facial features and face shape will appear somewhat ordinary.
"But she seems to have a boyfriend. Last time I was in class, I saw her chatting with a boy when I went to the bathroom. The note was "Big Bear."
Lu Wenhao was stunned for a moment: "Does this count as having a boyfriend?"
Zhang Shuya couldn't help but say, "From our girls' perspective, the three words 'big bear' are equivalent to husband."
"That's impossible. If I have a girlfriend like this, I have to follow her around every day."
"Then you follow me."
Xie Ziyi couldn't help but choke him, then turned her head to look at the third window on the left.
Feng Nanshu just sat there, holding a pen, making circles and dots on a document. The sunlight poured gently on her, making her look more lively and beautiful. Her natural purity made even a jealous person like Xie Ziyi feel good.
She seemed unable to imagine that a girl like Feng Nanshu would have a boyfriend. How handsome must one have to be to be able to win over a girl like this?
At this moment, a man in a yellow vest sneaked in from outside, distributed flyers to a classroom, and then left quickly.
The flyer shows UnionPay QuickPass, which has become very popular among college students recently and seems to be holding another promotion recently.
"Ziyi, I'm going to the bathroom, do you want to come with me?" Zhang Shuya suddenly stood up from her seat.
Xie Ziyi came back to her senses and glanced at Lu Wenhao: "I'm not going. I've been there before I came."
"All right."
Xie Ziyi watched Zhang Shuya leave, and patted the front again: "Lu Wenhao, did you use Cloud Quick Pay?"
Lu Wenhao has a bit of a noble temperament: "No, I usually don't eat at school, and I rarely order takeout."
"I heard that Yunshanfu was created by Jiang Qin. Isn't he also a graduate student at Linda University? It's been three months since the start of the school, and I haven't met him in person."
"Jiang Qin is just a recruiting gimmick. Do you really think there's a chance you'll meet him?"
During his four years as an undergraduate, Jiang Qin built a business empire called the group-buying system, and his aura among the student community was simply too great.
Linda is Jiang Qin's alma mater, and uses Jiang Qin as a recruitment gimmick, so those who come to Linda to study all want to meet him.
There are even girls who have fantasized about riding a bicycle with their long hair flying through the campus, and accidentally crashing a luxury car, only to see Jiang Qin coming towards them with a cool look on his face.
The girl raised her head in a cool manner, shouting "What do you want? I'll marry you in return." Then she was forced to marry into a wealthy family...
But the reality is that Jiang Qin never comes to class.
At this moment, Zhang Shuya, who had just finished using the toilet, ran over and couldn't help but lower her voice: "Guess what I found?"
"Um?"
"You were curious before, saying that Feng Nanshu always had a lot of documents to write and draw on. I don't know what he was doing. I just took a look at it. Can you guess what those documents were?"
Lu Wenhao had already turned his head away, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head back: "What?"
"Application for price adjustment during the sweet discount season."
"?"
"Is Feng Nanshu working at Xitian now?"
Xie Ziyi thought she had a job at Xitian. This was not uncommon among graduate students. After all, there were still many people who studied for a master's degree while working, and some even came to study for a master's degree in their thirties or forties.
However, what Zhang Shuya did not notice was that the "Application for Price Adjustment during the Sweet Discount Season" was not written by Feng Nanshu, but was reviewed by her.
An hour and a half later, the basic professional courses for the first year of graduate school were completed.
Xie Ziyi and Zhang Shuya walked out of the door hand in hand, and then they saw several teachers from the Academic Affairs Office passing by the door. Each of them nodded slightly to Feng Nanshu as they walked by, and Feng Nanshu also smiled faintly, as elegant as a young wealthy lady.
Xie Ziyi frowned slightly, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
After a few days, Xitian really started to offer preferential promotions, cooperating with the promotion activities of UnionPay QuickPass, and striving to retain more users for the group-buying system.
Huihuizi...I'm dying of exhaustion.
Wang Haini is similar.
In their eyes, Feng Nanshu is now a little devil who only cares about her husband and not her best friends.
However, both of them were very stubborn and pretended to be ignorant even though they knew the truth. During the day, they always called each other "classmate Feng" and "classmate Jiang". They would even say hello when they met. They looked like friends, purer than purified water.
If Fenghuali hadn't had poor soundproofing and if she could hear the popping sounds every night, Gao Wenhui might have really believed it.
"Nan Shu, when will your husband come back? I want to resign. I can't finish all the orders. I still have to check the reports. If I don't update the novel in time, I will be scolded..."
"I don't know when my husband's classmates will come back."
Feng Nanshu sat in front of the sweet bar, with a silly look on her face, resting her head on her arms, and constantly scrolling through Jiang Qin's circle of friends.
After the Double Ninth Festival, UnionPay QuickPass officially began to promote offline payments. Jiang Qin has been traveling around first-tier cities for a week.
She was a little uncomfortable sleeping alone and missed Jiang Qin every day.
At this moment, the beaded curtain in front of Xitian's door was drawn open, and Xie Ziyi and Zhang Shuya walked in. After ordering milk tea, they planned to find a place to sit down for a while, and then they saw Feng Nanshu.
After all, they were in the same class and from the same school, so Xie Ziyi and Zhang Shuya both came to say hello.
Feng Nanshu responded in a somewhat obedient manner, and then asked Gao Wenhui to waive the bill for them, which surprised Xie Ziyi for a long time.
However, when Gao Wenhui introduced herself as Feng Nanshu's best friend, it seemed a bit reasonable.
"By the way, has Lu Wenhao from our class added you on WeChat?"
"I don't know him."
"He's the most handsome guy in our class. He usually sits in front of me in class."
Feng Nanshu glanced at Xie Ziyi and said, "There's no handsome guy in our class, but I have one at home."
Xie Ziyi: “?”
After Xitian left, Xie Ziyi and Zhang Shuya returned to the dormitory, and then they saw a Mercedes-Benz speeding down the road.
"It seems to be Lu Wenhao's car..."
After getting Feng Nanshu's WeChat account, Lu Wenhao added her several times, but was rejected every time and couldn't say anything at all. However, he was not discouraged at all.
In his opinion, no matter how cool a girl is, it is not difficult to pursue her as long as you ask her out for a ride, let alone a Mercedes.
So the next day, Lu Wenhao dressed up handsomely, drove to the teaching building, and waved his keys for two classes. He almost wrote "I am a handsome rich second generation" on his face, but it didn't attract any attention.
Afterwards, Lu Wenhao bought milk tea for the whole class on the group buying platform, and then used some small strategies.
Everyone else's milk tea was ordinary, but he ordered the most expensive one under Xitian brand for Feng Nanshu as a confession of love, and he was going to give it to her in front of everyone.
"Mr. Lu, when will your milk tea arrive?"
"It will be delivered in five minutes!"
"This is a huge investment. A Mercedes and milk tea for the whole class. Which girl wouldn't be confused? It's great to be a rich second generation."
Lu Wenhao smiled slightly, leaning back in his chair and turning his pen.
Feng Nanshu came to class very quickly, arriving a little earlier than Milk Tea, but to the surprise of everyone in the class, Feng Nanshu seemed extremely different today.
She always had a cold face and looked unapproachable in the past, but today she raised the corners of her mouth and her eyes were particularly lively.
People's moods can be seen, and they all felt that Feng Nanshu seemed like a different person today, changing from being aloof to being somewhat cute.
"Who ordered the milk tea?"
Gao Wenhui followed the delivery boy and ran over here, shouting as soon as she entered the door.
After so many years, another person has to treat the whole class to milk tea. It's really infuriating.
The part-time delivery guys in the school all said frankly that they couldn't deliver the food and looked embarrassed.
Gao Wenhui was just about to go out for a walk to find inspiration for the afternoon update, so she helped to deliver it, and she also happened to be able to pick up Feng Nanshu after class.
Lu Wenhao raised his hand: “I, I ordered it, please give milk tea to the whole class.”
"Unjust species."
"?"
Xie Ziyi and Gao Wenhui were acquainted with each other, and couldn't help but look at him: "It feels like Feng Nanshu is a little different today."
Gao Wenhui blinked: "What's wrong?"
"I've never seen her smile before, why is she so happy today?"
"Her husband is coming home today. She has been waiting for him since last night. She barely slept the whole night and insisted on dragging me to watch TV. I don't know why she is so energetic."
Hearing this, the people around were stunned for a moment.
Lu Wenhao picked out the milk tea in his hand and couldn't help but frowned after hearing this.
Zhang Shuya felt something was wrong: "Last time at Xitian, didn't Feng Nanshu say that she was single, not in a relationship, and only had one lifelong best friend?"
"Just listen to her nonsense. She is actually a husband slave..."
"?"
Hearing this, several people showed expressions of disbelief.
Feng Nanshu is really aloof and has a sense of being out of touch with the world, as if nothing can arouse her interest. Her expression in class is always cool and sassy.
The three words "husband slave" really cannot match such a person.
But what was even more shocking was that Feng Nanshu ran out of the classroom as soon as the afternoon class was over, and even the fat Gao Wenhui couldn't catch up with him.
