Now that he has come to Hangzhou, Chen Dongcheng is not in a hurry to leave.
His parents and two elderly people moved here, and Hangzhou can be called Chen Dongcheng’s second home.
In the large house in Yunqi Rose Garden, old people are walking in the yard.
The yard is very large. Just walking around the yard can make people out of breath.
The car stopped at the door, Chen Dongcheng opened the door and walked into the courtyard.
The main courtyard is dotted with rockeries and flowing water, and carefully tended potted plants can be seen everywhere in the courtyard.
Lao Chen was working on a potted plant with a watering can when he turned around and saw Chen Dongcheng.
"Your kid is finally back. Your mother is so anxious."
Chen Jianye straightened up, smiled and patted Chen Dongcheng's arm.
Watching Chen Dongcheng mature more and more year by year, I feel a little emotional.
"I bought some gifts for you and my mother. They are all produced in our own factory. If you two like to eat them, I will have someone give them to you in the future."
Before leaving, Zhou Qiangfei stuffed a cart full of New Year gift boxes for Chen Dongcheng, which he couldn't even finish.
Lao Chen had opened a supermarket before, so he was familiar with these products: "Isn't this Baicao flavored?"
"Yeah, but now it becomes mine."
Chen Dongcheng smiled, which made Old Chen stunned. It took him a long time to recover.
"You are really a dragon in the sky. Your mother and I will never even be able to touch your tail."
"No matter how powerful I am, I am still your second elder's son."
Chen Dongcheng smiled and walked side by side with Chen Jianye into the house.
By coincidence, Guo Jingxuan happened to be there, watching TV and chatting with Gu Xiuwen.
Guo Jingxuan's eyes couldn't hide the surprise. During this period, she checked in every day to increase her presence, and finally had some results. Gu Xiuwen became more and more satisfied with her.
Chen Dongcheng smiled at Guo Jingxuan and asked, "When did you come?"
"Jingxuan is more thoughtful than you. She comes here basically every day since the holidays."
Gu Xiuwen snorted, obviously dissatisfied with Chen Dongcheng for not seeing him for a year.
"I've been too busy lately. As soon as I have free time, I'll come back to see you."
"You have some conscience."
Gu Xiuwen was finally satisfied. She pointed at Guo Jingxuan and said, "Take Jingxuan out for a walk. This girl has been spending a lot of time in the yard with me. I'm afraid she'll be depressed."
"Auntie, no."
Guo Jingxuan still felt a little embarrassed in front of Gu Xiuwen.
Gu Xiuwen smiled and waved her hand: "Go quickly, your Uncle Chen and I will just watch TV at home."
Chen Dongcheng took Guo Jingxuan's hand and walked out of the main courtyard. He first went to the old man's courtyard to have a look, and sat for a while before walking out of the house.
While walking along, Chen Dongcheng took the initiative to chat.
"You came here right after winter vacation?"
"Well, I thought you could go home early."
"Too busy, can't leave."
"I haven't seen you for a whole semester. If your student status information hadn't been there, I would have thought you had graduated."
Guo Jingxuan was a little lucky that Chen Dongcheng brought her parents to Hangzhou.
In this way, she would have more opportunities to get close to Gu Xiuwen and the others.
Chen Dongcheng briefly talked about the recent events, and Guo Jingxuan's eyes flashed with surprise and pride.
"Wow, Baicaowei has also been acquired by you. Then won't I have a lot of snacks to eat in the future?"
Guo Jingxuan is like a greedy little cat, drooling when listening to the grass-flavored employee benefits.
Chen Dongcheng said with a smile: "How about I arrange for you to go to Baicaowei during your internship next year?"
"It seems that the major is not quite right."
Guo Jingxuan was a little excited. It was close to home and her best friends could often come to play with her and taste various snacks.
It is simply a girl’s dream working environment.
"Many people pursue majors after graduation that are not undergraduate majors. If you are interested, I can help you make arrangements when the time comes."
Chen Dongcheng thought for a while and said, "Uncle Guo and Aunt Lu should be very happy that you are returning to Hangzhou for internship."
"That's for sure. My parents have always wanted me to return to Hangzhou. Pengcheng is still far away from them."
The two didn't go far and walked around the villa area. The air was very good.
The density of the villa area is relatively low, and the environment and air quality are in line with the positioning of these villas.
In the evening, Guo Rongjun and his family came over for dinner, and Lao Guo brought a bottle of Feitian Moutai from 2008.
While eating, Guo Jingxuan mentioned that Chen Dongcheng wanted her to do an internship at Baicaowei.
Only then did Lao Guo react: "Are you the real boss of the co-authored Cao Cao Group?"
No wonder Lao Guo was not surprised. It was a transaction involving a cash acquisition of 850 million. Unexpectedly, the boss behind it was actually Chen Dongcheng.
Chen Dongcheng smiled and nodded, there was nothing to hide in this identity.
It is estimated that after some time, more people will know.
Lao Guo said with emotion: "Baicaowei started its business in Hangzhou, and I know them quite well.
That Cai Hongliang is very capable, but who would have thought that they could develop from a small store to what it is today.
Gee, this is indeed the Internet era where wealth creation is a myth."
The older generation like them have put in so much effort to accumulate their current wealth.
People like Cai Hongliang, taking advantage of the Internet, can easily grow their company's valuation to hundreds of millions.
Once you sell it, you can successfully achieve financial freedom.
Guo Rongjun narrowed his eyes. He was an experienced man, so he naturally understood that Chen Dongcheng's arrangement for Guo Jingxuan to go to Baicaowei was definitely not a random move.
To a certain extent, is it giving your girl an identity?
Lao Guo's guess is very close. If Guo Jingxuan can really develop well in Baicaowei, Chen Dongcheng will naturally not be stingy about giving her the opportunity to display her talents.
Company leaders born in the 1990s are now very common in the technology circle.
Lao Guo hesitated, but still didn't ask. It would be better to be aware of some things.
…
The Spring Festival has finally arrived. Apart from celebrating the New Year at home, Chen Dongcheng has not stopped sending New Year greeting messages on his mobile phone all day long.
He would answer some questions in person that were important to him, and Xie Jingyu would do the rest for him.
The Spring Festival is a day for group members for many people, but for some food delivery platforms, it is destined to be a tragic day.
Baidu Waimai followed the established historical trajectory and played the sensational card of buying tickets for riders to go home for the New Year.
Indeed, it has received many likes from netizens online.
Labels such as "conscience enterprise" and "warm enterprise" are all slapped on Baidu Waimai.
The executives of Baidu Waimai are still complacent, unaware that they are only one step away from falling into the abyss.
Cao Cao's takeaway was the first to launch the slogan "Not closed during the Spring Festival", calling on riders to stay in the city and build a line of love delivery.
As for the riders who stay behind, Cao Cao will give double rewards for every order.
Originally, I could earn 8 yuan by giving away an order, but now I can earn 16 yuan.
Rather than buying a ticket to go home to reunite with their relatives, more riders choose to stay and earn more money, and it is not too late to go back after the Chinese New Year.
With the same calculation, there are also Magnesium Tuan and Hungry.
Three companies announced one after another that they would not close during the Spring Festival, which made the executives at Baidu Takeout dumbfounded.
They have all shouted the slogan of sending riders home during the Spring Festival and having a warm New Year.
If you withdraw now, wouldn't that be going back on your word and making people laugh?
Baidu Waimai discussed it and decided to stick to the original plan.
They absolutely cannot slap this face on their own.
In order to successfully fight the Spring Festival, Gan Jiawei mobilized the company's employees and tried his best to bring his family to Shanghai to celebrate the New Year.
As for the hotel accommodation expenses, the company will reimburse them all, and we will unite as one to win this crucial Spring Festival battle.
Chen Dongcheng sometimes holds video conferences with Gan Jiawei to discuss the details of this subsidy.
In addition to traditional takeout, Gan Jiawei has recently started to get in touch with Baicaowei.
As long as Baicaowei has inventory in areas, users can place orders online and have them delivered to their doorsteps within an hour.
Baicaowei's Zhou Qiang also had the mentality of giving it a try, and received an unexpected surprise, and his orders on Cao Cao's takeout also skyrocketed.
It seems that snacks also have potential to be tapped in the takeaway market.
Gu Xiuwen saw Chen Dongcheng celebrating the New Year at home and couldn't stop himself.
That feeling in my heart has long since disappeared, and I still feel a little distressed.
However, Chen Dongcheng is busy with his career. It is a good thing for a man to be ambitious, and Gu Xiuwen will certainly support it.
The way to support this is that after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Dongcheng was kicked out of the house by Gu Xiuwen and urged him to do his own business.
Chen Dongcheng rushed to the Magic City without stopping and listened to Gan Jiawei's report on the Spring Festival campaign.
During the Spring Festival, Baidu Takeaway instantly fell behind.
Correspondingly, several other platforms divided the orders of the entire market.
Among them, Cao Cao's takeaway ranks third, with a market share of 32.06%, which is similar to that of Magnesium Tuan and Hungry?
Hungry? continues to lock in the number one position, with a market share of 34.23%.
But they were on pins and needles, and Zhang Xuhao also invested heavily, for fear of falling behind at the critical moment.
Previously, they trusted Cao Cao Suda too much, which resulted in them never forming a delivery team.
Although it has begun to recruit people, its efficiency is far less than that of Cao Cao Suda, which has been working in city distribution for two years.
Therefore, there are many complaints from users.
Zhang Xuhao looked at the statistical market share report and felt unlucky.
The beginning of 2016 was not smooth for Hungry?
Magnesium Tuan and Cao Cao Takeout are too tight-knit. If they are careless, they may be surpassed by the other two.
After one month of subsidies, Zhang Xuhao's body aches every day.
Ah Li has been reluctant to invest, and Magnesium Group and Cao Cao Takeaway are pressing harder.
Zhang Xuhao directly made an appointment with Cai Wenxin and said in a somewhat irritable tone: "Mr. Cai, Hungry Me's funds are in urgent need now. I hope Ahli can take the lead in conducting a round of financing for Hungry Me."
As long as there is not much money in his account, Zhang Xuhao will feel uneasy.
At first, Zhang Xuhao thought that Chen Dongcheng had been in trouble for a while and there was no hope of profit, so he probably gave up.
Who would have thought that Chen Dongchengdu would soon be in trouble.
They were caught off guard by engaging in cross-border activities with Heytea, Keep, and Baicaowei.
Upon closer inspection, these companies all have deep connections with Chen Dongcheng.
Cai Wenxin frowned vaguely: "Mr. Zhang, the money you raised before should be enough to deal with this battle, right?"
In August last year, Are You Hungry just raised US$960 million.
He wouldn't believe it if he said he was short of money at this time.
Are you hungry? You do have money in your account. If you were short of money, you would have been killed by the other two companies.
Zhang Xuhao was thankful for his original decision more than once, as the founding team's shares were suddenly diluted to less than 10%.
Only he knew how difficult it was to make this decision.
He said he wasn't afraid of being shunned by Ah Li, but he was always on guard against it.
Cai Wenxin behaves harmlessly to humans and animals, and seems not to be so enthusiastic about Hungry?’s shares.
This relieved Zhang Xuhao's fear a lot.
"Mr. Cai, since Cao Cao's takeout came into the game, we have been dragged down and have to subsidize 100-200 million every month.
As long as there are no subsidies, the market share will immediately decline."
Zhang Xuhao looked at Cai Wenxin's indifferent face, cursed in his heart an old slicker, and continued: "From August to now, we have subsidized a total of 200 million US dollars, and the losses are very serious."
Cai Wenxin secretly thought, are you hungry? The money raised before was really enough.
They, Ah Li, care about Hungry, so naturally they are not willing to be just a supporting role.
Only entering the game at the most critical moment would be in line with his established plan.
Cai Wenxin said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I think it is necessary for Hungry to increase subsidies, especially in exploring third- and fourth-tier cities. Hungry has not done enough."
Aren’t you hungry? There are insufficient funds in your account. Why did Zhang Xuhao take the initiative to ask them for financing?
When Ali made investments in recent years, he didn’t really expect the projects to be profitable.
What they value is what the invested company can give back to Ahri.
Zhang Xuhao frowned and saw that Cai Wenxin had no intention of paying for it. He suppressed his anger and said, "Mr. Cai might as well think about it again. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, Zhang Xuhao turned around and left.
Cai Wenxin sneered with some disdain: "A group of students started a company, no wonder they can't hold on to their market share."
On a piece of white paper covered with documents, two names were written on it.
If there are any employees of Ahri, they will definitely recognize that they are all generals of Ahri's subsidiaries.
Originally, in the CEO position below "Are You Hungry?", Cai Wenxin put a big X on Zhang Xuhao's name with a red pen.
Back on Are You Hungry?, Zhang Xuhao directly called the senior executives for a meeting.
Zhang Xuhao slammed his right fist on the table: "From now on, we will officially launch the winter campaign. We will follow up as much as the other two companies subsidize. There is no upper limit."
A group of senior executives made eye contact, and some couldn't figure out what was irritating Zhang Xuhao.
But at this time, no one dared to disobey Zhang Xuhao.
Anyone who had tried before would have been scolded by Zhang Xuhao and not given any face.
"Xu Hao, I agree with the subsidy. Regarding the riders, I think you need to pay attention to it."
Kangjia did not object and took a report issued by the following.
“Since the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, riders have been returning to work one after another.
But I noticed something, many riders were snatched away by Magnesium Tuan and Cao Cao Suda.
The riders we currently have in reserve cannot handle such a large order volume."
"How do people down there do things? Don't you know how to contact me in advance?"
After reading the report, Zhang Xuhao stared sharply at Zhao Hui, director of the distribution division.
"Immediately recruit people for me. Magnesium Tuan will give me 7 yuan per order, and we will pay 8 yuan. In short, I will definitely recruit enough riders for me."
Zhao Hui quickly expressed his position: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will get it done as soon as possible."
Even though he said this, he felt a little discouraged in his heart.
Zhang Xuhao's interference in the distribution business department has made it difficult for Zhao Hui to handle it.
At first I thought exclusive delivery was better, so I decided to cut off crowdsourcing.
Later, I thought crowdsourcing was good, so I started crowdsourcing again.
After going back and forth several times, the employees in the distribution department all complained.
Among riders, Are You Hungry also doesn’t have a good reputation?
Multiple platforms compete, and riders take the initiative. They will go to whichever platform offers higher wages.
But now that Zhang Xuhao has spoken, Zhao Hui must express his position immediately.
Whether it can be done or not is one thing, but if anyone dares to disobey the orders given by Zhang Xuhao, there will definitely be no good consequences.
