The ending of Xiaohongshu made countless consumers happy.
"What a shame, I give them a thumbs up for this operation at the Apple Store!"
"They even dare to make dirty money from babies and young children. I just don't know their address, otherwise I would have stabbed them several times!"
"From now on, we will only support Xiaolanshu. Xiaolanshu has a high authenticity rate. Even if fakes occasionally appear, customer service staff will solve them as soon as possible and provide compensation for returns and exchanges."
"I support you upstairs. I also placed an order with Little Blue Book. It is indeed a genuine product of the Kao brand. It is very comfortable for my baby to use."
"It's all my fault that my wife was greedy for cheap. She bought more than ten packs of Xiaohongshu diapers and fainted in the toilet from crying!"
…
When the online discussion reached Zeng Yiming, Zeng Yiming felt as refreshed as if he had taken a cold shower on a dog day.
What surprised Zeng Yiming the most was that Qu Ting came to apply for a job at Little Blue Book.
This operation really shocked Zeng Yiming.
In order to show his importance, Zeng Yiming personally served as the interviewer, accompanied by He Qian and several other supervisors.
Zeng Yiming flipped through Qu Ting's resume absently.
He could recite this information by heart.
Only by knowing your enemy and yourself can you fight without danger.
Zeng Yiming had a deep understanding of Qu Ting and Mao Wenchao from the beginning.
But today's situation was indeed beyond his expectation.
Qu Ting has a dignified posture and has developed her strong female side by being in charge of the company for a long time.
A decent lady's suit made Zeng Yiming nod his head.
This momentum was in line with his impression of Qu Ting.
"Ms. Qu, why did you think of applying for our company?"
Zeng Yiming wanted to call Mr. Qu, but Qu Ting was already unemployed.
It's not appropriate to call her that, so just call her Ms. Qu.
Qu Ting's eyes dimmed and she said calmly: "Wen Chao and I's dream for Little Red Book was shattered. We hope to continue my dream in Little Blue Book."
"dream?"
Zeng Yiming thinks this word has some meaning.
He is a veteran who has been working hard in the workplace for more than 20 years and has long forgotten what his dream is.
Qu Ting chuckled and said: "I just want to create a community where everyone can share fun and interesting things around them around the world."
"What do you think of Little Blue Book?"
Zeng Yiming has always been curious about how Qu Ting, his mortal enemy, views his own platform.
Qu Ting thought for a few seconds and said: "I admire your foresight very much. Whether it is cleaning up the masters of stealing pictures or perfecting the preparations for the e-commerce platform, you all make me admire you very much. Wen Chao and I did not lose unfairly."
."
Praise from an opponent is 10,000 times more comfortable than flattery from a company employee.
Even as a veteran, Zeng Yiming couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"It's all under the command of Director Chen, I'm just a pawn."
"Chen Dongcheng?"
Zeng Yiming smiled and nodded: "Ms. Qu should have known Director Chen. If you had taken Director Chen's money, you would have lost the Little Blue Book today."
"Yes, Wen Chao is so stubborn..."
Qu Ting was a little emotional, and the scene of meeting Chen Dongcheng for the first time appeared in her mind.
At first she was more inclined to take money from Chen Dongcheng.
Mao Wenchao insisted on finding a powerful venture capital investor, but ended up in this situation today.
Zeng Yiming suddenly sat upright and asked seriously: "I would like to hear Ms. Qu's thoughts on the future development of Little Blue Book."
Qu Ting knew the important point was coming and answered calmly.
"I think Xiaolanshu should incubate the e-commerce platform for a period of time and then dismantle it into an independent platform."
"open?"
This was the first time Zeng Yiming heard this idea.
Qu Ting explained: “If you only do cross-border e-commerce or vertical e-commerce, it is easy to hit the ceiling.
And as far as I know, there are currently many cross-border e-commerce platforms.
Is Little Blue Book really sure that it will continue to subsidize it until it beats Ali or JD.com?"
Zeng Yiming was a little silent, this is unrealistic.
How big are Ali and JD.com? If Xiaolanshu engages in a subsidy war with these two big platforms, it is estimated that it can kill itself.
But users are the most realistic, so they will go to whichever company has the highest subsidies.
Qu Ting said with a smile: "If we incubate the e-commerce platform for a period of time, we will split it into an independent e-commerce platform.
The two platforms can still continue to cooperate, and the closed business loop will not be destroyed.
Xiaolanshu focuses on developing the community, providing more high-quality content, and maintaining community vitality.
The spun-off e-commerce platform focuses on transactions, so even if the subsidy losses are serious, it will not affect the valuation of Xiaolanshu."
Zeng Yiming's eyes lit up, and Qu Ting completely woke him up.
Through the 618 diaper carnival, Little Blue Book has gained considerable sales.
But it also exposed the fact that the gross profit margin of e-commerce platforms is very low after subsidies.
Continuing to drag the e-commerce platform will undoubtedly hinder the progress of Little Blue Book.
If it is really separated, Xiaolanshu will only be a community and take the path of monetizing traffic.
Making money by attracting traffic to e-commerce platforms can also avoid losses caused by burning large sums of money. This is a great idea.
This is what Little Red Book did in history.
E-commerce has not taken off and focused on building communities, but has gained recognition from capital.
Qu Ting and Mao Wenchao would even refuse many e-commerce meetings and interviews.
Externally, we always emphasize that they are a community platform, not an e-commerce platform.
The effect of receiving the goods is that Xiaohongshu, which had been valued at US$3 billion, suddenly had several investors willing to give it a valuation of US$6 billion.
Although they have never been able to reach an agreement, it also means that Xiaohongshu’s direction of specializing in community platforms is correct.
Zeng Yiming was about to speak when suddenly the phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, he motioned to Qu Ting to wait.
After chatting for a few words, Zeng Yiming put down his phone.
"Ms. Qu, you came just in time. Director Chen will be here soon. Please wait a moment."
Qu Ting met Chen Dongcheng a few minutes later.
Qu Ting felt that the scene was a bit familiar, as if she suddenly went back to the past, when Chen Dongcheng came to Shanghai to discuss investment with them.
Chen Dongcheng: "Hello."
Qu Ting: "Hello."
The different names already represent changes in the status of the two people.
At first, Chen Dongcheng tried to invest in them, but was rejected by Mao Wenchao.
Now Qu Ting comes to Xiaolanshu for an interview. Whether she can join the company depends on Chen Dongcheng's opinion.
Chen Dongcheng nodded casually to Zeng Yiming, and Zeng Yiming repeated Qu Ting's thoughts to Chen Dongcheng.
“Split the e-commerce platform?”
Chen Dongcheng looked at Qu Ting and thought that this person had come to apply for the job at the right time.
Qu Ting clasped her hands tightly and was not as nervous as Chen Dongcheng when facing Zeng Yiming.
Zeng Yiming's status is similar to hers, both are migrant workers.
Chen Dongcheng is the emperor of Little Blue Book, and his words and deeds can determine the fate of everyone within the company.
"Ms. Qu, are you interested in working as an OO at Little Blue Book?"
When Chen Dongcheng came up, he offered the position of OO, which surprised Qu Ting: "What about Mr. He?"
"He Qianhui will serve as the eo of the post-split e-commerce platform, and he and Xiaolanshu will become brother companies."
Qu Ting understood that He Qian belonged to Gaosheng. After all, oo's rights were smaller than those of eo.
Zeng Yiming's expression changed a little, but he didn't say anything.
He Qian's promotion was completely expected.
From the moment Zeng Yiming heard about the split of the e-commerce platform, he realized that He Qianhui was on an equal footing with him.
Qu Ting smiled and stretched out her hand: "Dr. Chen, I am willing to join Little Blue Book. Please take care of me in the future."
"Okay, Mr. Zeng made a reservation for the restaurant tonight, called Mr. He, and welcomed Mr. Qu to join the big family of Little Blue Book."
Chen Dongcheng shook hands with Qu Ting, thinking that if Mao Wenchao knew that Qu Ting came to Xiaolanshu to apply for a job, he would probably be so aggrieved that he would want to cry, right?
…
Yongfu.
Zeng Yiming thought for a long time and booked a private room here.
The waiter led Chen Dongcheng and the others into the private room, and after ordering the dishes, closed the door.
Chen Dongcheng is sitting in the main seat, with Zeng Yiming on his left, He Qian on his right, and Qu Ting sitting next to Zeng Yiming.
To keep the atmosphere lively, Zeng Yiming brought several supervisors with him to set up the atmosphere.
Zeng Yiming received Chen Dongcheng's signal, opened a bottle of Maotai, filled it for everyone, and congratulated him first.
He Qian was a little confused, but he got up and had a drink with Zeng Yiming.
Zeng Yiming smiled and said: "Congratulations, Mr. He, on your promotion!"
After saying that, Zeng Yiming drank a drink first.
He Qian continues to be confused, he is already OO, how can he be promoted?
Is it possible that Zeng Yiming wants to quit his job?
That's not right, at least Zeng Yiming shouldn't be able to laugh.
Chen Dongcheng observed He Qian. He was forty years old, with fair skin and bright eyes. He was a handsome old man.
Even in TV dramas, he is at the leading actor level.
What makes Chen Dongcheng most satisfied is that He Qian has perfected all aspects of this 618 Diaper Carnival without a single flaw.
Such talents should be promoted.
By the time the cold dishes arrived one after another, several supervisors had not yet come to their senses.
They didn't dare to speak, for fear of standing in the wrong team and being punished by the boss.
Zeng Yiming continued to talk: "Today Mr. Qu joined Xiaolanshu and will hold the position of OO in the future. I also hope that everyone will support Mr. Qu in the future."
He Qian was completely stunned. Qu Ting took the position of oo, what about him?
Still promoted?
Where to go?
Chen Dongcheng smiled and patted He Qian on the shoulder: "Mr. Zeng is joking with you. I decided to split the e-commerce platform and set up an independent subsidiary to let you serve as eo."
Independent subsidiary!
Serve as eo!
Before the congratulations, he was a little surprised and couldn't believe it. He quickly expressed his gratitude and loyalty to Chen Dongcheng: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I will definitely check it for you."
"I can rest assured that you will do the work."
Chen Dongcheng's six simple words made He Qian feel warm in his chest.
He nodded heavily, intending to use his results to prove that Chen Dongcheng's promotion was correct.
"Come on, everyone use your chopsticks quickly. This Ningbo Eighteen Chops is his signature dish."
After Chen Dongcheng spoke, everyone dared to use their chopsticks.
In the pleasant surprise before congratulations, several supervisors finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They thought this was a Hongmen banquet, to congratulate Qu Ting and establish her authority and promote Qu Ting to the throne.
Several supervisors did not dare to have a drink with Chen Dongcheng, but since He Qian had been promoted, he deserved a few toasts both emotionally and logically.
He Qian was also happy and would have a drink with everyone who came.
As a result, except Chen Dongcheng, the big boss, and Qu Ting, everyone drank too much.
Chen Dongcheng said helplessly to Qu Ting: "Sorry for making you laugh."
Qu Ting smiled and shook her head. This kind of atmosphere could not be seen in Xiaohongshu.
"It's okay. We are all colleagues. It means that we are all gentlemen and are easier to deal with than hypocrites."
Xie Jingyu was responsible for calling their families.
After a while, their family members picked them up, leaving only Qu Ting and Chen Dongcheng.
"Dr. Chen, if it's convenient, can we go for a walk together?"
"good."
After settling the bill, Chen Dongcheng and Qu Ting walked casually on the road.
Qu Ting turned her head to look at Chen Dongcheng and said with emotion: "If I hadn't joined the job, I wouldn't have believed that Director Chen was still a college student."
"Why, it's so embarrassing to be defeated by a college student?"
"A little bit. I feel like I've learned a lot, but it's of no use."
Chen Dongcheng corrected: "The failure of Xiaohongshu is not your fault. If you had no knowledge and ability, I would not let you join Xiaolanshu."
Qu Ting looked up at the starry sky. In the dark sky there were only the crescent moon and some bright or dark stars.
"Wen Chao and I met and started a business together. We have gone through ups and downs. If Xiaohongshu had not been banned by Apple, I would not have planned to join Xiaolanshu."
"Do you still have any hope for him?"
Qu Ting smiled bitterly and shook her head: "That's not the case. Once the reputation collapses, no matter how you make up for it, it will be a waste of time."
"Little Blue Book can make your dreams come true.
From now on, in Little Blue Book, you will be in charge of management and Zeng Yiming will be in charge of strategy, just like you are in Little Red Book."
Chen Dongcheng had already clearly defined Qu Ting's rights, and Qu Ting had no objection.
She is indeed very suitable for managing daily affairs. When she was in Xiaohongshu, she did a very good job.
Qu Ting was walking and suddenly asked: "Dr. Chen, can I ask you about your plans for Little Blue Book?"
"There are plans to go public."
Qu Ting smiled and said goodbye at the intersection: "I will definitely do it. I will fully support Mr. Zeng."
"Okay, be safe."
Chen Dongcheng watched Qu Ting get into the taxi and waved goodbye.
The Rolls-Royce following behind suddenly accelerated and stopped in front of Chen Dongcheng.
"Go back to World Trade Center No. 5."
I just picked up the Rolls-Royce during this trip to Shanghai, and the price of the naked car is 6.88 million.
Including purchase tax, insurance, option fees, and the Shanghai A license plate, it all cost 8.5 million.
I would definitely not be willing to part with this money at ordinary times, but after upgrading, the steps will be more valuable.
If I walk 10,000 steps a day, I can easily buy two in a month.
Chen Dongcheng opened the door, and inside the room Zhang Lu and Zheng Danni were watching a TV series.
"You're back? I'll make you some tea."
Zhang Lu jumped up from the sofa and ran to find tea.
Zheng Danni went to the bathroom to get a towel, soaked it in hot water, wrung it out, returned to the sofa, and wiped Chen Dongcheng's face.
For this service attitude, Chen Dongcheng was rewarded with a bite.
Zhang Lu bent down to make tea, ignoring her neckline and having a happy couple: "What's going on today?"
Chen Dongcheng took a few glances and pointed at the fruit plate on the coffee table.
Zheng Danni stabbed the pineapple with a toothpick knowingly and handed it to Chen Dongcheng's mouth.
"A senior executive has been added to the company. Have you had dinner?"
Zhang Lu handed the tea cup to Chen Dongcheng and sat on Chen Dongcheng's right side with a smile: "Danni and I are both losing weight and want to tell you something."
This girl is so sexy, she doesn’t even wear pajamas at home.
He was wearing a Chen Dongcheng T-shirt and was strutting around the house.
Her white and smooth calves kept dangling. I don’t know if it was because of the lighting, but I always felt a little bit high.
Chen Dongcheng took a sip of hot tea and felt warm in his stomach: "You don't have enough money?"
"No."
"What's the situation?"
"Dani and I were watching TV recently, and some experts said that our age is the best time to conceive. As we get older, the baby's intelligence will be affected."
What kind of bullshit expert are you talking about? What do those aunts in their thirties think?
Zhang Lu leaned into Chen Dongcheng's arms and blinked: "How about we have a baby first while we are still young?"
"Forget it about having a baby, it's still okay to have a baby."
Chen Dongcheng never thought about becoming a father so early.
Is it because girls are not fun and games are not fun that they want to be a father?
Although I don’t want to be a father for the time being, I can still consider it for the sake of the process of becoming a father.
After all, it’s a completely different experience with or without an umbrella.
