There are many local restaurants in Hangzhou. The quality of the dishes is definitely the most fundamental reason why Guiyu Shanfang has developed so rapidly.
Basically, any restaurant with a per capita price of more than RMB 500 will not have bad service.
After Chen Jianye and Guo Rongjun had a few glasses of wine, their conversation became more and more interesting.
Gu Xiuwen and Lu Suzhen chatted about daily life and the differences between the Northeast and the South.
From time to time, Guo Jingxuan naughtily scratched Chen Dongcheng's palm with her fingernails, like a little goblin.
Today, this girl is dressed absolutely dazzlingly, wearing a very formal pure black dress and a precious diamond necklace around her neck.
Chen Dongcheng recognized it at a glance as the one he gave to Guo Jingxuan on her birthday.
Guo Jingxuan was particularly happy. She didn't know how many times she had dreamed of this happy scene of two families gathering together for a meal.
Even when she tried on wedding dresses before getting married, she didn't know how many styles she had dreamed about.
A bottle of Feitian Moutai was finished by Guo Rongjun and Chen Jianye. Lao Guo wanted to order more, but Lu Suzhen stopped him.
When meeting for the first time, a bottle of wine is just right, but any more will easily make you lose your temper.
Lao Guo drank too much, so he must leave the payment to Chen Dong.
Guo Jingxuan reluctantly followed Lu Suzhen in the Ghost and went home.
Chen Dongcheng and the others took another car and returned to Yunqi Rose Garden.
Lao Chen's drinking capacity has always been good, but he was just pretending to be a little tipsy just now.
The tea leaves and tea sets were ready. Lao Chen made a pot of tea and sat with Gu Xiuwen, waiting for Chen Dongcheng's explanation.
"Tell me what happened to you."
"For us, it's nothing, just..."
Chen Dongcheng finished his brief description and looked at them with a smile.
Gu Xiuwen frowned and sneered: "So, you must be blamed for being too popular?"
"No, no."
"Then you're going to hang it like this for now?"
Gu Xiuwen frowned and kept comparing Li Xingyao and Guo Jingxuan in her mind.
They all have their own merits, and if you choose one at random, it will be more than enough to be her daughter-in-law.
What else can Chen Dongcheng do? This is all he can do.
With this thought in his mind, Chen Dongcheng yawned: "It's getting late, I'll go to bed first."
After saying that, he trotted back to the bedroom.
If there is anything bad about this large courtyard, it is that it is a bit scary to walk between the various courtyards at night.
However, the lights in the yard will remain on at night.
Pang Zhengyang and the four of them rested first with Xie Jingyu in a nanny's yard.
The sheets and quilts are all new, and two people are left on duty.
Back home, Guo Jingxuan sent a WeChat message.
Guo Jingxuan: What do my uncles and aunts think of me?
Chen Dongcheng: Very good, I praise you to heaven.
This is true. If the evaluation was average, Gu Xiuwen wouldn't have to worry about it.
Guo Jingxuan sent a smiley face: Really or not, I will learn how to make soup from my mother tomorrow and prepare it to send to my uncles and aunts.
Chen Dongcheng thought of Guo Jingxuan's cooking skills, she could even make egg fried rice so salty.
"Forget it, try not to show off your cooking skills, I'm afraid I'll scare them."
Guo Jingxuan made a shy and annoyed expression: Is the food I cook so terrible?
Chen Dongcheng thought that if Guo Jingxuan competed with Li Xingyao in cooking, he would not be aiming for the muzzle of the gun.
However, even if Guo Jingxuan is determined to show off, she cannot blindly attack her.
Chen Dongcheng thought for a while and typed a reply: You take my parents out for a walk tomorrow, I have something to deal with.
Guo Jingxuan quickly replied: You are busy with your work, uncle and aunt can just leave it to me.
In terms of cooking skills, Guo Jingxuan has no talent.
But when it comes to taking people to eat, drink and have fun, this girl is perfect.
…
The next day, Guo Jingxuan came to visit early in the morning.
After breakfast, I took Gu Xiuwen and Chen Jianye to visit the West Lake.
Chen Dongcheng went to the Hangzhou office of Qingju Bicycle, which was in an office building.
In addition to several senior executives on duty at Pengcheng's headquarters, other senior executives including Zhao Yin were all there.
In the shared bicycle market, Qingju Bicycle is the leader.
Ofo and Mobike, which entered the market late, suffered a lot and barely maintained their second and third positions.
When it comes to market share, they are no match at all.
Comparing the scale of financing, Qingju Bicycle, a leader in the shared bicycle market, has received two financings in succession.
The A round of financing is US$100 million, and the B round of financing is US$200 million.
The C-round is currently under negotiation, and the valuation is rising almost every round. The evaluation and enthusiasm given by the investors are very high.
With US$300 million in the account, the deposit originally misappropriated by Qingju Technology can be wiped out at any time.
They even have some spare time to organize some free riding activities, which makes other bicycle companies miserable.
No matter how well Qingju Bicycle develops and tries its best to abide by the rules, it can’t stop some bad teammates from lowering the IQ of the industry.
No, as the number of shared bicycles is increasing day by day, the Hangzhou transportation department has begun to interview several shared bicycle companies.
Zhao Yin, as the CEO of Qingju Technology, arrived in person to give face to the Hangzhou transportation department.
In the conference room, there was a heated discussion on whether Qingju Bicycle would choose to temporarily withdraw from the Hangzhou market.
Some support avoiding the limelight for the time being, while others insist on actively cooperating with the transportation department and not giving up on the Hangzhou market easily.
Zhao Yin looked at Chen Dongcheng, who didn't express any opinions, and knocked on the table: "Okay, everyone should be quiet for a moment."
"Director Chen, do you think our next step is to withdraw or persist?"
Zhao Yin looked at Chen Dongcheng with burning eyes, waiting for this man's decision.
"Withdrawing from Hangzhou will give our opponents an advantage."
When Chen Dongcheng said this, many executives who supported continuing the fight were overjoyed.
"However, persistence is a matter of course. To commit crimes against the odds is to challenge the bottom line of Hangzhou's rulers."
Chen Dongcheng said while thinking: "Immediately ask the operations department to formulate a treasure hunt plan. If users find those randomly parked bicycles, we can reward them with riding time.
In addition, you can set a standard for storage points.
If you do not follow the designated stopping place and park randomly, you will be warned three times in a row.
If it exceeds three times, we will directly freeze the user's deposit."
Zhao Yin has thought about these operations.
He just had some doubts about freezing the deposit.
“Would this be too strong and cause dissatisfaction among users?”
"Find more self-media to publish more articles. Our main purpose is to make them visible to the upper class in Hangzhou.
Prove that we are willing to cooperate with them, do you understand?"
When Chen Dongcheng said this, Zhao Yin understood instantly.
The upper class in Hangzhou are just dissatisfied with too many shared bicycles.
But in such a big city, there will definitely be demand.
The cake is limited, who can eat it is a matter of knowledge.
Zhao Yin and the others were very capable and held a video conference directly with Pengcheng on the spot to communicate on the specific operation plan.
At the same time, Zhao Yin began to visit the leaders of the Hangzhou transportation department, and his attitude was very correct.
What’s interesting is that because Qingju Bicycle started in Pengcheng, ofo chose Beijing and Mobai chose Modu.
It’s just that Yangcheng is closer to Pengcheng, and Ofo and Mobike are smart enough not to go to Yangcheng to challenge Qingju Bicycle’s dominance.
Not to mention anything else, just being able to ride for free on Qingju Bicycle made it even worse for them who were already unable to make ends meet.
Neither of them dare challenge Qingju Bicycle, let alone these local bike sharing companies in Hangzhou.
Although there are many of them, none of them can be beaten.
Just in the evening, Zhao Yin called with an excited tone.
"Director Chen, I had a good chat with the leaders. They agreed to give us half a month to see the effect of our smart travel model."
Zhao Yin paused and said excitedly: "In the past half month, of all the bicycles on the market in Hangzhou, only our family is left to continue operating.
Other bicycle companies were ordered to make corrections for half a month."
After hearing this, Chen Dongcheng frowned slightly.
What seems like a good thing actually creates a bigger crisis.
These bike-sharing companies have been secretly misappropriating deposits to fill holes.
If ordered to make corrections within half a month, the user will definitely apply for a refund of the deposit.
The most terrible thing is that they can't get the deposit at all.
Either buy financial management or pay the bicycle manufacturer.
Just looking at their little riding fee, it is enough to cover employee expenses.
When Chen Dongcheng expressed his concerns, Zhao Yin suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
He took advantage of the perfect opportunity for a company to dominate the market, but almost ignored the crisis behind it.
Zhao Yin was a little flustered for a moment and said nonchalantly: "Dr. Chen, what do you think?"
"Don't panic, we have already negotiated with Cosmos Bank. If any user applies for a refund of their deposit, you must approve it as quickly as possible and provide a refund."
"Secondly, we also need to appeal to the outside world. As for the deposit, we at Qingju Bicycle will never use it and let Universe Bank help endorse it."
I usually give them such a large deposit for management, but now I have to come out and shout a few words.
Zhao Yin was only confused for a moment and reacted quickly.
"We currently have about 200 million US dollars in our account, which is enough for us to deal with this deposit crisis."
When Chen Dongcheng heard that Zhao Yin was so awake, he hung up the phone with satisfaction.
This is the great thing about Zhao Yin. As long as Chen Dongcheng makes some suggestions, Zhao Yin will be able to understand and implement them as quickly as possible.
Gu Xiuwen and Chen Jianye spent a day shopping and were very tired.
Guo Jingxuan is sweet-mouthed and extremely generous to them.
Went to eat Manju Japanese food at noon and had Western food in the evening.
As long as Guo Jingxuan saw that Gu Xiuwen liked some small things she encountered while shopping, she would buy them without saying a word.
Gu Xiuwen couldn't help but smile bitterly when she thought of the flag she set up during the Chinese New Year.
After getting in touch with him in the past two days, she found that Guo Jingxuan was not bad.
Chen Dongcheng was so stupid that he left this choice to them, and hid in his yard and took a nice bath.
Since it is a Chinese-style house, an antique bathtub is definitely indispensable.
Adjust the water temperature to a suitable critical point and pour in some essential oil.
Sit inside and relax your mind.
Heat billows to the roof, and the tub is facing a 70-inch TV.
Chen Dongcheng took a bath while changing channels and watching TV.
After taking a bath in the tub, my whole body felt refreshed.
Chen Dongcheng wore a bathrobe and walked to Gu Xiuwen's house.
The old couple are still in a dilemma. Whichever they choose, they both feel sorry for the other.
It was obviously Chen Dongcheng who did this bastard thing, but it made the old couple worry a lot.
Chen Dongcheng also felt a little sorry and said: "You guys go home first tomorrow and pick up the two elderly people at home so that they can enjoy their happiness. The rest can take its course."
Since you can't make a decision, it's better to wait a little longer.
Gu Xiuwen nodded, not forgetting to glare at Chen Dongcheng: "If you had made us worry less, we would still be so entangled."
Chen Dongcheng was thick-skinned, and Gu Xiuwen couldn't help but say a few words.
Gu Xiuwen couldn't help but feel a little guilty towards Li Xingyao.
"Oh, it's a pity that girl Xingyao..."
Chen Dongcheng sat there until the couple felt sleepy. After shopping all day, they naturally became tired faster at night.
The next day, Chen Dongcheng sent Gu Xiuwen and the others away, and it would take time to settle down at home.
Guo Jingxuan was finally able to come over and live with Chen Dongcheng openly.
Guo Rongjun couldn't do anything about it and could only mutter a few words angrily.
I went to Guo Rongjun's for dinner in the evening. Lu Suzhen cooked a table of dishes that were very sumptuous.
While eating, Chen Dongcheng's phone suddenly rang. It was Zhao Yin calling.
"Director Chen, as you expected, several shared bicycle companies have been in trouble. The issue of deposit misappropriation will probably be on the hot search tomorrow."
When Zhao Yin said that, he felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, he had Chen Dongcheng's early warning and was always very careful about the use of the deposit.
Now think about it, how important is Chen Dongcheng’s early warning?
If you are really desperate to sell bicycles, Magic City Phoenix can indeed supply them.
But the damage rate of bicycles is an unavoidable problem.
The more you invest, the more you lose, forming a vicious cycle.
And with so many bicycles, the expenses for operating and maintenance personnel alone will cost 30 to 40 million per month.
It is no exaggeration to say that as soon as Zhao Yin opens his eyes every day, he must be prepared to lose millions.
Fortunately, in terms of market share, Qingju Bicycle has always firmly occupied the leading position.
Calculating that each bicycle is used twice a day, the daily riding fee alone is as much as four million.
This is the most ideal situation. When there are special events, users basically ride for free.
"You return to Pengcheng immediately and stay at the headquarters. Any request for deposit withdrawal must be resolved as quickly as possible."
Chen Dongcheng smiled: "This may be an opportunity to build our reputation."
You'll never get tired of talking to smart people.
Zhao Yin quickly answered: "We can publicly declare that we have never misappropriated a cent of the 299 deposit to improve the reputation of users."
"We don't need to add fuel to the fire. After all, it's not a good thing for us that the deposit is regulated."
What Chen Dongcheng is most worried about is the deposit-free model launched by Alipay and Harrow.
This model is too fatal for shared bike companies.
For example, the cumulative number of bicycles launched by Qingju Bicycle has exceeded 2 million.
Just the short-term financial management that Gu Shouyi helps purchase can earn more than 100 million a year.
This more than 100 million was obtained completely by Qingju Technology.
Whether it is used to settle the payment for Magic City Phoenix or to subsidize users, it is a very considerable amount of funds.
The most important thing is that there is a steady flow of money, provided that this deposit model is not overturned.
There is no doubt that this is the first reshuffle of the shared bicycle market.
The vast majority of shared bicycle companies can still survive this round.
Whether you are looking for a bridge loan privately or looking for investors, you can make up for this.
The early appearance of Qingju Bicycle has undoubtedly accelerated the development process of shared bicycles.
What Chen Dongcheng needs to do is to make the valuation of Qingju Bicycle a little higher and then sell it to a suitable buyer.
