On January 27, three days before New Year’s Eve, Goose Factory launched the red envelope function.
With the largest number of users and the widest coverage, the super social app became popular on the entire Internet almost overnight.
For ordinary melon-eaters, they just tried this new function out of curiosity.
For programmers with itchy hands, they can observe the rules by constantly sending out red envelopes, grabbing red envelopes, and guessing the underlying logic of this function. There are even colleagues who are not saturated with work and are deconstructing its code.
Don't get me wrong, they are not trying to hack into Goose Factory's system, nor are they interested in scientific research, they are purely trying to summarize a complete strategy for grabbing red envelopes.
As a "well-known rich man" in the circle of friends now, Lin Yi is forced to throw out some red envelopes in various groups he belongs to, and it is expected that there will be another wave of blood during the Spring Festival.
He doesn't care about any of this.
What surprised him was that almost at the same time that the red envelopes were launched, corporate red envelopes issued in the name of Tuk-Tuk Taxi had already been discovered.
This must be the surprise that Cheng Wei has been preparing for himself some time ago.
If Lin Yi remembers correctly, this function should have appeared after the red envelope, but this time it was released at the same time.
Except for Tuk-Tuk Taxi, he has not seen any other apps that use corporate red envelopes for promotion, even those belonging to the Goose Factory family.
It seems that Tuk-Tuk Taxi is currently the first and only one using it.
This treatment is not too exaggerated when discussed carefully. The Xiongchang Wallet app was also specially prepared for this subsidy war at Lin Yi's request.
It seems that my involvement in the taxi-hailing industry has changed a lot of things.
By the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, the entire economic activity has basically come to a standstill, so it is not yet possible to evaluate how much this hand can promote Tuk-Tuk taxis.
Putting aside this worry, Lin Yi began to discuss the duty arrangements during the Spring Festival.
No one will take a taxi during the Chinese New Year, and even if someone takes a taxi, no one will take the order. Even so, someone will still be on duty when traveling thousands of miles.
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst. Now is a critical period to compete with Dudu and Kuadu. Although Wanli Travel has gained half a position advantage with Lin Yi's "foresight", it can't be said to sit back and relax.
What's more, their subsidy policy has not been cancelled. Drivers and passengers who actually make sporadic transactions can receive their rewards.
All in all, this year will definitely not be easy.
Of course, Lin Yi would not be so harsh as to issue such a standby requirement to ordinary employees. It would just be them, the top management, and the management team who would set an example.
As for the following, according to the law, the salary should be paid in multiples during holidays. Generally speaking, someone will take the initiative to sign up.
Especially those colleagues who live locally, for them, they can get several times more salary for overtime work during holidays, and then they can take the rest after the year, without any delay.
Among Lin Yi, senior sister and Wang Kai, the three people currently on the highest level of Wanli Travel, Wang Kai happened to be a native of the capital, so he was on duty in the first and second grades of junior high school.
According to the agreement, Lin Yi came to replace him when he was in the third grade of junior high school, and then it was the senior sister's turn in the fifth grade of junior high school.
According to legal holidays, the eighth day of the Lunar New Year is the first day of work after the holiday, but they require all management to arrive at their posts one day in advance, that is, on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, to announce the new year's battle plan.
After arranging all these things, Lin Yi dared to leave with peace of mind.
…
The habit of Lin's family is to have dinner during the New Year's Eve dinner, so he didn't fly back to Lin'an from Beijing until January 30. Fortunately, he didn't miss his flight or get stuck in traffic, so he returned home in time for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Ms. Yu Xiujuan couldn't help but complain: "Are you so busy? You didn't get home until the evening of New Year's Eve. I don't think Jack Ma is as hard as you."
In fact, the big bosses are not that easy to be employed. There are many docks to visit before and after.
Lin Yi wisely did not talk about it, but honestly admitted his mistake: "I am still in the entrepreneurial stage, and there are a lot of things happening recently."
That is to say, my mother is so comfortable. The attitude of other relatives has changed somewhat. For example, my cousin who I was familiar with was a little timid when greeting me. Another example is my uncle who used to not participate in family conversations. He took the initiative to smooth things over and said:
"Xiaojie's identity is different now. Don't tell me, many guys in our rental business say that Xiaojie must be the next Jack Ma!"
Lin Yi knew why the taxi driver had a crush on him.
Because of this wave of subsidy wars, they repeatedly jumped between several taxi-hailing apps and made a lot of money. They can be called the biggest winners, and this war started with Wanli Travel.
Lin Yi did not dwell on their attitudes, but asked about things that had not been decided when he left in October.
"How does your house look like?"
Lin’s father and Lin’s mother still live in the old house of their former work unit. Ms. Yu Xiujuan replied:
"I have sent you a message before, but you must not have read it. We have selected a house and Xiaohui has gone through all the procedures. How is Xiaohui doing now?"
Cousin Cheng Zihui was well prepared and took out a house purchase contract and handed it over: "It has been signed a long time ago. I bought an off-plan house and the delivery time is the year after tomorrow."
"But with Xiaojie's current net worth, it might be too shabby to live in such a house next year, isn't it Xiaojie?"
Cheng Zihui could handle such a small matter as buying a house very quickly with his efficiency. Lin Yi guessed that he might have waited until he came back to take it out.
Of course, all my relatives have seen the news that Wanli Travel has raised US$120 million, and Cheng Zihui is probably the one who best understands this meaning.
Lin Yi didn't think he was too arrogant, and just explained casually: "The company's valuation does not count. You have also seen how fierce the competition has been recently. If you accidentally fail and go bankrupt, all the previous money will be wasted."
.”
"Thanks to my cousin for buying a house this time, I will have to trouble you next time if I find a job in Temporary Relocation."
Although Lin Yi did not directly announce his current net worth, Cheng Zihui did not ask any more questions and continued on with his topic:
"That's still different. Even if it doesn't work this time, there will be another time. The people you come into contact with now are of a different level. I saw in the news that you have a very good relationship with Robin Li from the Bear Factory, and you are sitting next to him."
Lin Yi smiled and said half-seriously: "Everyone is just acting on occasion."
The topic about Lin Yi was revealed, and then they started talking about other people's past year.
Most people of their parents' generation have a stable life without much change. Cheng Zihui has done well this year and is said to have made some money. As for his cousin Lin Xiaoqian, she is already a sophomore in high school and will be a senior in the second half of the year.
Lin Yi was not too involved in their conversation and ran to the balcony to eat after the New Year's Eve dinner.
"How are you and Xiao Gu doing? I keep seeing her on TV recently."
Lin Yi recognized the voice behind him as Lin Guoqing. Because his uncle and aunt's family did not know about Gu Caiwei's affairs, he did not ask him face to face when they were inside.
"She..."
It is forbidden to set off fireworks in Lin'an City, so the quiet night sky seems a bit dull in the New Year, and Lin Yi's thoughts have drifted away.
