Chapter 706 Jiang Qin Calls Me Baby
As the sky gradually darkens, the drizzle in Shanghai gradually stops.
Yuan Youqin brought her nanny, Aunt Zhou, back to Shanti Villa from the maternity training center.
At this time, Mr. Xianhui's car also drove to the door and delivered a batch of fresh organic vegetables, which were special ingredients provided by the proprietress.
The two took the box of ingredients, chatted about what they had learned today, and went into the kitchen to start preparing meals for Feng Nanshu during pregnancy.
Although Aunt Zhou is very experienced in making meals for pregnant women, Ms. Yuan is always afraid of making mistakes in a hurry, so she has to help every time. She has been in Shanghai for four months. Seeing Feng Nanshu's belly slowly growing, she is looking forward to having a granddaughter as much as Jiang Qin.
Of course, the price of this expectation is the instant noodles in the cupboard of my father in Jeju.
Jiang Qin had just finished taking a shower and came down from upstairs. He couldn't help but stand at the door of the kitchen and look for a long time: "Is this the little rich woman's meal for pregnant women tonight? It looks delicious."
"Hey, you're back?"
"Didn't I call you at noon?"
Yuan Youqin was stunned for a moment: "Look at my brain, I remember too many things and forgot about this matter."
Jiang Qin pointed at the meal for pregnant women that was being prepared and said, "Make one for me to try."
"Why do you want to eat everything? Are you stealing Nanshu's too?"
Jiang Qin pursed his lips and thought to himself, what's wrong with robbing the little rich woman's? In a few months, I will even dare to rob Jiang Ainan's! Thinking of this, he suddenly lost interest in the little rich woman's pregnant meal and became very interested in Jiang Ainan's rations.
"Where's Nanshu?"
"In the room, Xitian called to report on her work, and she went to handle it."
Yuan Youqin held the spatula and said, "Go and see if Nan Shu has finished her work and ask her to come down for dinner."
Jiang Qin nodded, walked upstairs and went to the master bedroom.
With the prosperity of commercial complexes and the rise of group buying and take-out, more and more competitors have joined the current milk tea market. Although Xitian has been famous for a long time and has a very high valuation, with the intensification of competition, the market's involutionary trend has gradually taken shape.
The milk tea economy itself is weak and has low risk resistance. Currently, the blue ocean is gradually turning into a red ocean. Every decision made by the brand may affect its future development, so there are many things that require Feng Nanshu's final decision.
The young rich woman is serious and earnest when she works, and is quite similar to Qin Jingqiu.
She had previously held a brand planning meeting with Xitian’s management, and suggested that Xitian launch several unique seasonal limited editions, which could have gorgeous packaging and could be extremely delicious or extremely unpalatable. These products would then be supplied seasonally, taken off the shelves immediately at the end of the season, and launched again next year.
This measure can ensure that Xitian has marketing hotspots in every season.
“Spring is here, and Xitian’s super delicious milk tea is back on the shelves today!”
"Summer is here, and Xitian's super horrible milk tea is back!"
"Autumn is here, and reservations for the limited edition Goddess Cup will start tonight."
There are not many commercial tactics in the milk tea market, which are mainly reflected in appearance and marketing. Being able to maintain sufficient popularity throughout the year can ensure the sustainable development of the brand.
Jiang Qin was standing at the back and listening. He was shocked and thought, "Are you so smart?" Feng Nanshu lied to him and said that she learned it from her husband, but Jiang Qin didn't believe it at all. He thought, "Not only can I be sure that you are smart, I can also be sure that you are really good at coaxing your husband."
Later, Jiang Qin opened the door and saw the rich young lady sitting at the desk surrounded by warm light, holding up her cell phone and nodding slightly.
But when she saw Jiang Qin sticking his head out, she couldn't help but look a little silly and wrinkled her nose slightly.
"It's time to eat, baby."
"?"
Feng Nanshu was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes: "Brother, if you have the guts, call me again."
Jiang Qin smiled and said, "It's time to eat, little rich girl."
"That's not what you called me just now."
"That's what it's called."
"You called me baby."
"Oh, that's so corny, I never call you that."
"Call me baby, or I'll cry."
Feng Nanshu hit him twice in the face in a threatening manner, but was reluctant to use too much force. In the end, she was angrily allowed Jiang Qin to lead her hand and go downstairs.
Yuan Youqin and Aunt Zhou came over with maternity meals and some home-cooked dishes: "Where are Wenhui and Haini? It's time for dinner. Where did they go?"
"I went out to play. It's dark now. I don't think they plan to come back for dinner. They must have seen me coming back and were afraid that I would ask them for food money."
"They came all the way here to accompany Nan Shu, and you're still asking them for food money? Do you want to taste the saltiness of the manure cart at the door?"
Yuan Youqin hit him with chopsticks, then looked at Feng Nanshu: "Nanshu, why are you unhappy?"
Feng Nanshu pursed her lips and said, "Jiang Qin just called me baby."
Yuan Youqin glanced at the two of them and said, "You don't like him calling you baby?"
"I like it, but when I asked him to yell again, he stopped."
"That's easy. When our little Ai Nan is born, first teach her to call mom, grandma, and grandpa, but don't teach her to call dad."
Feng Nanshu opened his eyes wide, as if he had learned something good, and nodded seriously.
Jiang Qin dropped the chopsticks in his hand, thinking that this was too cruel. Not allowing Jiang Ainan to call him daddy was more painful than killing him.
When dinner was over, Yuan Youqin was accompanying Aunt Zhou in the kitchen to wash dishes and do high-temperature disinfection, when she heard her son's strong voice coming from the living room.
"Jiang Ainan must be the first one to call me daddy. Don't make me beg you."
"Feng Nanshu, as Jiang Qin's most beloved baby, you can't be so unreasonable!"
Yuan Youqin was washing dishes in the kitchen and laughing when she heard Aunt Zhou say, "Mr. Jiang is completely different from when he was on TV."
After the taxi war entered a new track, Didi's swift action attracted a lot of media attention. Jiang Qin has appeared on TV frequently during this period, and Aunt Zhou has also seen a lot of him.
But from her perspective, the one on TV and the one at home don't seem to be the same person.
Yuan Youqin stopped what he was doing and asked, "What's the difference?"
"He appears very stable on TV, but acts like a child when he gets home."
"He likes to quarrel with Nan Shu. I saw it before. If he really didn't like her, he wouldn't have the time to care about her. He's like a fool now."
Yuan Youqin wiped the water off her hands and walked out of the kitchen with a smile, then saw Feng Nanshu sitting in Jiang Qin's arms again. She also solemnly promised that when Jiang Ainan was born, she would be the first one to teach her to call daddy.
Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but sigh softly.
What Gao Wenhui said was right. Nan Shu in their family is spineless and can be easily coaxed. She is a complete slave to her husband.
At this moment, two sweet and sticky voices of "Auntie" were heard from outside the door. Yuan Youqin turned around and saw Gao Wenhui and Wang Haini coming in with bags.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten, Auntie."
Jiang Qin had been led by Feng Shihua to develop the habit of drinking tea at night. He had just made some tea and couldn't help but ask Gao Wenhui and Wang Haini when he saw them: "Aren't these two girls who hunt for beauty? How was your harvest tonight?"
Gao Wenhui sat on the sofa expressionlessly: "The bar is still a bit smoky."
"I said only a library could fool you!"
Feng Nanshu couldn't help but speak, then glanced at Jiang Qin: "I mean met."
Wang Haini patted Gao Wenhui and said, "Xiao Gao wants to find pure love, probably the same kind as you guys, but it's really hard to meet a man as bad as Mr. Jiang. I've been through a lot but haven't found one like him."
"Are you polite?"
"This is a compliment to you, Mr. Jiang."
Gao Wenhui suddenly nodded in agreement: "I didn't feel anything when I was in school before, but Jiang Qin, it's really hard to meet a man like you. I'm not talking about money."
Jiang Qin picked up the teacup: "I understand, you are talking about appearance. There are indeed... only two Yanzu in the world."
"Pooh."
"Love is still a matter of fate. What is meant to be will always be there. I suggest you don't be anxious. Work hard at Xitian first, from nine to five, never be late or leave early, spring, summer, autumn, winter, rain or shine, and wait until the brand value of Xitian becomes higher and higher..."
Gao Wenhui leaned forward slightly: "I can meet pure love?"
Jiang Qin grinned: "I can give you a bonus, and you can become a top member of a dating website!"
Gao Wenhui was stunned for a moment, then after she reacted, she immediately picked up the pillow and made a ferocious expression as if she was going to throw it.
Jiang Qin hummed a song and went upstairs with his little wife.
The next morning, the faint morning light shone through the windows and gauze curtains. After breakfast, Jiang Qin left Xiangti and arrived at the company, waiting for the technical team that came from Gaode.
Didi's subsequent development direction has been confirmed, which specifically lies in the upgrade of security supervision and service optimization, which requires the participation of LBS service providers. The person leading the team this time is Gaode's CTO Yu Yongjie.
At that time, Alibaba intended to acquire Gaode, but Pintuan won the contract first. Yu Yongjie was inclined to Alibaba at that time.
Although group buying at that time already had the dominance it would have in the future, it was still completely incomparable to a large company of the size of Alibaba.
In their view, Alibaba has strong capital and is the biggest leg in the Internet market, and if you want to hug a leg, you have to hug a big one.
But the founder at that time, Cheng Jun, took into account the dependence of group buying on the map industry and, against all odds, chose to join hands with group buying.
Three years have passed in a flash. Looking at this huge industrial park, Yu Yongjie couldn't help but sigh.
The valuation of Pintuan.com is now rapidly approaching that of the first tier. After winning several national battles without losing a single one, it has become the most promising Internet company in 2013.
At the end of the year, a financial newspaper said that Pintuan, Alibaba and Tencent should be the companies with the greatest hope of making it into the Fortune Global 500.
Jiang Qin took Su Nai and Dong Wenhao out to greet them, and looking at their expressions he smiled calmly.
Are you jealous? It's from the dog.
"Mr. Yu, welcome."
"Boss Jiang, Boss Su, Boss Dong, long time no see."
"It's been a long time, thank you for your hard work."
"It's all as I should, but I didn't expect it to be so cold in Shanghai recently. I regret not bringing a sweater."
As Yu Yongjie spoke, he looked around and was attracted by a sculpture in front of the main building.
This sculpture is made of metal and its shape is very artistic. To put it simply, it is incomprehensible.
From his perspective, the sculpture looked like a roll of smashed scrap metal, twisted together, and even had a rusty finish on the surface.
Well, "like" is a polite word, so it might be more appropriate to remove it.
He had been to Alibaba's campus, where they saw the Taobao mascot, the Taobao doll, in front of their main building. He had also been to JD.com and seen the little white dog in front of their main building. As for group buying, he really didn't see the point.
"Boss Yu, let's go to the conference room to discuss the later work arrangements. We need to make three updates before May 1st, so time is tight."
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, everything is up to you."
Yu Yongjie walked forward with several executives from the team. When he passed by the sculpture, he couldn't help but take a look at it, and his scalp instantly went numb.
The name of that roll of scrap metal is very unique, "Friends of Business".
Jiang Qin also noticed that he was distracted, and couldn't help but look at the sculpture: "What's going on? Didn't I ask someone to deal with it before? Why is it still like this? What if the media takes a picture of it and posts it online?"
Dong Wenhao heard the voice and said, "But boss, you said before that this sculpture is very interesting, and the property management was unsure, so they didn't dare to move it."
"Why move it away? I just want them to remove the name on the base. There are some things that we just need to know clearly in our hearts."
"Oh, so that's how it is. I'll ask them to come and dunk immediately."
Yu Yongjie glanced away and pretended not to hear, but his heart was beating fast.
You know, when Gaode was making its choice, it almost threw itself into the arms of Alibaba and became a friendly competitor in group buying.
Before he knew the name of this metal sculpture, Yu Yongjie didn't have any special feeling, but after seeing the name, he instantly felt involved.
Afterwards, Yu Yongjie was taken into the conference room by Jiang Qin and a three-hour meeting was held.
Didi changed the taxi market with its private car operations and directly refreshed the entire track, but in fact it has not yet done its best.
The entry of Gaode’s technical team into the group-buying industrial park is actually a signal that Didi is officially making its move.
Subsequently, Didi quickly carried out its first update. The interface became much more beautiful and the operation was simplified. The main interface no longer displayed a large map and where the cars were, but directly entered the car-hailing interface.
This doesn’t actually mean much for actual business wars, but the key point is that the Gaode app has also been updated, and the Didi Taxi entrance has been officially connected.
Users of Gaode map navigation can call a taxi with one click without having to jump to other software.
You know, as a technology provider for group buying in stores, during the period of rapid development of group buying, the number of Gaode users has actually been increasing rapidly.
You may have never used a taxi app and are used to taking the subway, bus or other means of transportation, but no matter which mode of transportation you use, you must have used Gaode to check the travel route.
This wave brought about a crazy increase in new users.
As the only two options still sticking to Shanghai and Kyoto, Uber's number of users has not been severely affected, but its market share has continued to shrink.
"Fenton, when are you going back to the United States? I'll ask Anna to take you to the airport."
"I... don't want to go back yet."
In March, Uber had the upper hand and he invited Peter Fenton to watch a grand final battle. Now Uber is being pressed step by step, but Peter Fenton's idea has not changed.
He still wanted to watch the grand final battle.
China's economy is booming and has become the world's largest market. Peter Fenton is a venture capitalist. How could he miss such a good opportunity to understand the working style of Chinese companies?
When Travis heard the answer from his good friend Peter Fenton, his left eyelid twitched violently.
The good news is that my friend was not just being polite when he said he wanted to watch it. The bad news is that I became the victim.
After Didi’s first update, Pintuan immediately followed up with a cool move, which was the preview of the 3.0 version update on Friday night.
In today's software market, updates are basically silent, and I have never seen a preview.
For Travis, the words written on the preview seemed to be a death sentence. He knew that Jiang Qin wanted him to watch Didi's updates.
At this time, Kang Jingtao, the head of the operations department, appeared in the corridor, went to the tea room to make a cup of coffee, and hummed the tune of "Gu Jian Qi Tan".
Listening to the sound of the piano, what should be forgotten cannot be changed, the worldly affairs have trapped my youth.
After he was sure that it was Jiang Qin who made the move, he was no longer panicked, because the outcome was already determined and he would not survive.
By Friday night, Didi had updated again.
This time, the group buying database, which has been continuously improved and updated from the group buying era to the takeout era, is connected to Didi.
All stores on all streets, even a small restaurant, can be successfully located on Didi Chuxing by simply entering the name. It is so accurate that even the narrow paths are clearly visible.
One of the difficulties in operating private cars is that some car owners do not have the familiarity of roads as a driver, especially part-time drivers, who commute between two points every day when they go to work. They may not even know where to go, let alone the next district, or even to another street.
Gaode’s LBS service combined with the group-buying database completely solves this problem and lowers the operating threshold for private cars.
At this time, Gaode is like an intermediary software, building a bridge between group buying and Didi.
I opened a group purchase, bought a coupon and prepared to go out for dinner. When navigating, I found the one-click taxi service. At this time, a taxi discount coupon exclusively for UnionPay QuickPass suddenly appeared in my wallet.
It’s great to join a group.
At the same time, Bibi and Kuaidi are developing the private car market in Shenzhen and Hangzhou, and have launched special car and carpooling functions, as well as an energy-saving and emission-reduction campaign. They originally planned to return to Shanghai and Kyoto during the May Day holiday to compete for the market, but after seeing the updated Didi, they felt a little more fearful.
Gaode is already a leader among LBS service providers, and combined with Pintuan.com’s database, it directly raises the technical threshold.
Outside the threshold are Beep, Kuaidi and Uber, while inside the threshold is only him.
Or, wait a little longer?
Okay, let’s wait a little longer.
They are not the most anxious ones. The most anxious one is Uber.
This alien species is not like them. It has nowhere to hide. Now that Didi is attacking it right in front of it, it must be extremely anxious.
He believed that Travis would rack his brains to come up with a response strategy and would not let Didi take advantage of him like this. If they waited until Uber started to fight back and fought with Didi to a standstill, they might be able to reap the benefits.
As expected, shortly after Didi version 3.0 was launched, Uber was almost squeezed dry and its overall user data began to decline.
Travis felt as if the opponent he was facing was not from this world, but from a higher dimension.
But before he could fall asleep, he suffered from insomnia completely.
After the 3.0 update, Didi announced another update, and version 4.0 will be officially launched next Saturday.
"We must take action, Anna, help me get Mr. Trott here."
"Yes, Mr. Travis."
When Kang Jingtao heard that Travis wanted to see him, he knew that Travis must be panicking.
Jiang Qin could have updated all the content in one step, but he chose to update it three times, maximizing the publicity efforts and deepening the shadow in the minds of competitors. Foreigners have never seen such a trick.
"Mr. Trotter, Uber is in trouble right now. You've dealt with Jiang Qin before. Do you have any suggestions?"
Kang Jingtao sat on the sofa: "Do you know what is the most terrifying thing about Jiang Qin?"
Travis shook his head.
"The most terrifying thing about him is that he will calculate everything and then form his own development rhythm. After he comes on stage, he will pull everyone into his rhythm. And he is invincible in his own rhythm."
"It's very mysterious, can you make it simpler?"
"Mr. Travis, you might as well think about it. Before March, the rhythm of the entire market was controlled by Uber. Didi ended up joining our rhythm, but gained nothing until it got the permission from the Transportation Commission."
Kang Jingtao patted his thigh and said, "That day, all of us fell into his rhythm and couldn't beat him, so Uber's only chance was to find his own rhythm.
Travis fell into deep thought, and in the next few days, he kept thinking about Kang Jingtao's words.
Didi was able to turn things around thanks to private cars, but its biggest weakness is still private cars, because they are still a gray industry...
If the Transportation Commission can temporarily stop Didi's private car operations, the market rhythm will return to Uber's hands and everything will be fine.
How to get the Transportation Commission to stop Didi's private car operation? This is very simple. As long as it has an accident, it will be fine. As long as it has an accident, low-carbon and environmental protection will be useless. Travis kept sorting it out, and gradually sorted out the logic and thought of a solution.
"Anna, help me find a driver who is tight-lipped and very short of money. I need him to work part-time for Didi."
"Yes, Mr. Travis."
Anna quickly found the person Travis needed and gave him a generous reward.
That’s right, Travis planned to cause an accident for Didi when Didi version 4.0 was launched and at the height of its popularity.
The reason why we have to wait for him to update is because only when the popularity and public opinion are big enough can he achieve the effect he wants.
So after arranging everything, the entire Uber was waiting for Saturday to come, but what Travis didn't expect was that things developed as he expected, but not completely.
On April 26th, the new version of Didi was launched on time. Travis was anxious to arrange people to start working, but as the employees of Uber's technical department actually experienced it, a voice that gave people a strong sense of security suddenly appeared from the voice prompt of Didi.
"Hello, I am your travel customer service, employee number 0036. Your trip will be monitored by me and the xx City Public Security Bureau to ensure your travel safety."
"If an accident occurs, you can use one button to call the police. I wish you a pleasant journey."
Travis was stunned for a second: "Fuck!"
Kang Jingtao was also stunned on the spot. Is this also in your rhythm? He never expected that Didi would take the initiative to hand over the supervision power and even open its own database to relevant departments.
This update has sparked heated discussions online. The theme is that riding Didi really makes people feel safe, and countless people who have experienced the new function have praised it fervently.
At about the same time, an employee from the Public Opinion Department suddenly broke into the conference room. He looked a little flustered and almost kicked over the trash can at the door when he entered.
"Oh no, Mr. President, something happened to Uber!"
"What happened?"
"There was a video posted online of an Uber driver sexually harassing a female passenger."
"Which platform? Go find the person in charge of the website to take it down, and then find the person responsible!"
"I saw it on the headlines tonight."
"?"
Kang Jingtao suddenly lowered his voice: "Tonight's headlines are also an app owned by Pintuan."
Travis looked at him blankly, and immediately understood, it was intentional, he did it on purpose, this news was intentional!!
Regardless of whether Uber has this driver or whether there really is a female passenger who was victimized, it will become a catalyst for Didi to upgrade its safety system.
Because of Uber’s sexual harassment incident, Didi’s safety monitoring seems even more remarkable.
It took twenty days to complete three updates. Actually, in the dark corners, Cheng Wei of BIBI and Chen Chuanxing of KUAAI had been expecting Travis' counterattack. But when they saw the news about Uber, they were disappointed.
"I don't know if Travis is still willing to buy 60% of my shares at the original price. I want to cash out and leave..."
(I don’t know if there are many typos in this picture…please give me a monthly ticket, or2)
