After figuring out the reason, Sun Weiran couldn't help but feel depressed.
If he had known that Hela's credit quota would be targeted, he might not have bothered to get that quota in the first place.
"Mr. Chen, what do you think we should do?"
Sun Weiran simply kicked the ball to Mr. Chen.
Chen Dongcheng said with a smile: "When this matter is exposed, the higher-ups will probably be a little dissatisfied with you.
You just need to take the initiative to explain to the above that you currently lack the ability to continue to carry out this business.
I will ask someone to speak up and take over this business."
Sun Weiran's eyelids jumped. If Chen Dongcheng said this, it would be very bad for Bekara's senses.
But he didn't have the courage to confront Chen Dongcheng head-on.
Even Lei Jun repeatedly warned Chen Dongcheng not to be easily provoked.
Lei Jun knows a little more, and Chen Dongcheng holds the second largest shareholding within Didi.
He has a deep relationship with Tengxun and has good connections.
What's more, the Cao Cao Group has become a trend.
Many of its businesses are already connected to each other. If we really want to punch them out, let alone Beccara.
Even Teng Xun and Ah Li had to vomit three liters of blood.
According to Lei Jun's judgment, Bekara had better be obedient.
Otherwise, the next wave of blows will definitely come after this dinner is over.
Lei Jun's previous analysis quickly flashed through Sun Weiran's mind and he sighed.
"Mr. Chen, then I will do as you say, and we will fully cooperate with Mr. Chen."
So what if you are unwilling?
If you are not as strong as others, you will not be able to keep your wealth even if you get it.
Bekara took the initiative to surrender, so Chen Dongcheng naturally would not be too forceful, and said with a kind smile: "It would be great if Mr. Sun can understand the general situation like this. In the future, Cao Cao might as well do some cooperation with Bekara."
Sun Weiran raised his tea cup and nodded with a wry smile: "I hope Mr. Chen will not hesitate to promote me."
As the peacemaker, Lei Jun felt much more relaxed when he saw that the two parties had reached an agreement. He joked: "I was really embarrassed when Lao Sun found me. Fortunately, you have reached an agreement, otherwise you would have taken advantage of me.
"
Waiting for the waiters to serve the dishes, Sun Weiran took the initiative to pour wine for Mr. Chen and said like a treasure: "Mr. Chen, this bottle of wine is Mr. Lei's collection, a perfect masterpiece from Lipeng Winery."
Lei Jun smiled and shook his head: "Don't listen to Mr. Sun's nonsense. I just like some niche wineries. This bottle of mine was also given by a friend. It has a perfect rp score in 2009, so it is just for Mr. Chen."
"That's a blessing for me."
Chen Dongcheng picked up the goblet and took a sip.
The taste is somewhat special and very refreshing.
Depth and power, just right.
A perfect score may be a bit exaggerated, but it is definitely a wine worth collecting.
“Good wine.”
Chen Dongcheng admired it sincerely and secretly wrote down Lipeng Winery in his notebook, and asked Xie Jingyu to buy a few boxes for his collection when he went back.
Lei Jun smiled and said: "As long as Mr. Chen is satisfied, let's drink slowly."
Lei Jun also intended to make friends with Chen Dongcheng.
To be honest, Lei Jun couldn't believe it when he first heard about Chen Dongcheng.
How could someone have such far-reaching plans at such a young age?
After Lei Jun observed carefully, he couldn't help but admire how exquisite every step Chen Dongcheng took.
Let’s start with distribution and draw on Hungry’s resources to grow.
Later, the takeout business was launched, and all the businesses in Hungry were controlled by Cao Cao Suda.
The most troublesome delivery link in the takeout field does not exist at all for Chen Dongcheng.
Later, it acquired an Internet payment license and laid out finance.
Sponsoring the Spring Festival Gala is a hot topic among the people.
In the end, so many subsidiaries are interconnected.
Connect with each other and share resources.
Looking at it this way, how far-sighted and vicious the vision is?
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, this restaurant focuses on the high-end market.
The set meal for 3888 persons is nothing more than bird's nest, sea urchin, foie gras and other ingredients.
The taste is average and the service is good.
Fortunately, they didn't just come here to eat.
Taking this opportunity to see if there are any cooperation opportunities is the key point.
Lei Jun asked with a smile: "Some time ago, Taobao reconvened the Juhuasuan team and launched Taobao special offers. It was obviously for Pinduoduo. Does Mr. Chen have any countermeasures?"
Chen Dongcheng smiled lightly and shook his head: "Taobao's special offer has little impact on us.
On the contrary, waist merchants on the platform will be even worse off.
Taobao's traffic is limited, and it is tilted towards low-ranking merchants.
Tmall’s big customers cannot be harmed, we can only sacrifice them.”
Chen Dongcheng smiled, looked at Lei Jun and said, "Lei is always worried that fighting between us will hurt you Xiaomi?"
"That's not true."
Lei Jun sighed and said: "Xiaomi has been having a hard time in the past two years. Before our F round, Mr. Chen must have heard how fast we raised capital, right?"
Chen Dongcheng nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Everyone knows that Mr. Lei managed to raise US$100 million in financing in two days, and his skills are outstanding!"
"Mr. Chen was so complimentary."
Lei Jun smiled and waved his hand: "At that time, Xiaomi was highly sought after and investors were enthusiastic.
At the end of 2014, when we completed the F-1 round of financing, our valuation was as high as US$45 billion."
Sun Weiran smiled and added: "From the valuation of US$4 billion in the E round to the valuation of US$45 billion in the F-1 round.
It only took Mr. Lei a year and a half, which is really rare."
Lei Jun said with some helplessness: "However, 2016 was a low point for Xiaomi.
We had a supply chain shortage that year and our shipment rate plummeted.
The valuation is even predicted to be less than US$5 billion, which is more than a miserable word."
Chen Dongcheng continued to watch Lei Jun's performance. He knew that Lei Jun was very purposeful, and he must have a purpose for saying so much.
"Therefore, I had to break my promise not to go public within five years and apply to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for listing."
Lei Jun's voice suddenly changed: "Mr. Chen, Xiaomi is trying to go public and needs performance.
I want to know how much resources we can get if Xiaomi joins Pinduoduo?
How will Pinduoduo support us?"
Sure enough, it came!
Chen Dongcheng knew that Lei Jun would definitely not miss this opportunity.
For Lei Jun, interceding for Sun Weiran was just a reason for him to meet Chen Dongcheng.
He also hopes to talk to Mr. Chen about the conditions for entering Pinduoduo.
No matter how the outside world denigrates it, Pinduoduo’s monthly active users are rising rapidly.
Backed by three major platforms, it is difficult for Pinduoduo to become popular.
WeChat, Douyin, and Cao Cao Pay have all given Pinduoduo traffic entrances.
In just over a month, Pinduoduo’s monthly active users have exceeded 30 million and are still rising rapidly.
This kind of achievement is enough to attract Xiaomi.
Lei Jun has such a keen sense of smell that he senses that Pinduoduo may have an unprecedented impact on Taobao in the future.
Otherwise, with Lao Ma's structure, he would personally supervise the Juhuasuan Business Department, and even personally handle the specific matters of Taobao's special prices.
Xiaomi needs performance and popularity, and there are many areas where Lei Jun and Chen Dongcheng need to cooperate.
Xiaomi has entered Douyin, opened a Douyin account, and will place some advertisements.
When Xiaomi joins Pinduoduo, it will also take advantage of Pinduoduo's advantages to develop a group-building model to increase its sales.
Before going public, even a dollar increase in revenue is crucial to Xiaomi.
Chen Dongcheng was not in a hurry to answer, but was thinking.
Will Xiaomi’s presence in Pinduoduo bring any benefits to Pinduoduo?
The answer is definitely yes.
The unit price of mobile phones is much higher than other products.
Just by selling 10 packs of paper towels priced at 9.9, how long will it take for you to catch up with Taobao and JD.com?
Therefore, Xiaomi’s attraction to Pinduoduo definitely exists.
In addition, Xiaomi’s mobile phones are generally cheap, which is in line with Pinduoduo’s path of sinking into the market.
In wider fourth- and fifth-tier cities and towns, Xiaomi’s Redmi and other series of mobile phones are still very popular.
In addition, Xiaomi’s smart home and other products can be considered a good start for Pinduoduo’s home appliance business.
Chen Dongcheng smiled and said: "Since Mr. Lei wants to open a store in Pinduoduo, we must have preferential treatment. During the first year of cooperation, all advertising resources will be half price."
Lei Jun's eyes suddenly lit up. He is a master of online marketing.
Xiaomi has maintained its popularity through various online sales in recent years.
Lei Jun certainly knows how expensive online traffic is and how expensive the advertising resources quoted by Taobao and JD.com are.
Chen Dongcheng continued: "At this stage, Pinduoduo does not charge commissions."
Lei Jun was moved again. The higher the transaction volume, the higher the commission.
Lei Jun certainly knows how much commission Xiaomi receives from Taobao and JD.com every year.
Chen Dongcheng finally threw out a trump card: "As the first mobile phone brand to enter Pinduoduo, I will give away 5 million of Xiaomi's Douyin advertising resources for free. What do you think, Mr. Lei?"
With a smile on his face, Lei Jun clinked glasses with Chen Dongcheng and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen. I will have someone contact Mr. Zhuang when I get back to discuss the specific matters of opening a store."
In Lei Jun’s view, Xiaomi opening a store on Pinduoduo has already expanded a profitable channel.
What's more, Mr. Chen also listed the three major benefits of Xiaomi's entry into Pinduoduo.
Every one of them speaks to Lei Jun's heart.
Advertising resources are half price.
No commission.
Five million TikTok ads.
This is a big piece of fat dangled in front of Mr. Lei's eyes. Mr. Lei can't resist taking a bite.
After dinner, Lei Jun and Sun Weiran looked at the leaving Mercedes-Benz motorcade.
"Lao Lei, why do you think there is such a big gap between people?"
Sun Weiran was a little angry: "We at Bekkala were targeted for no apparent reason. I had to give up my spot and admit that I was no good. What a coward!"
After pretending to be a grandson all night, Sun Weiran couldn't help but mumble a few words to his old friend.
Lei Jun took out a pack of Hetianxia from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Sun Weiran.
"Old Sun, you and I have known each other for so many years, have you ever seen me make mistakes when I look at people?"
"No, when it comes to judging people, I will only obey you, Old Sun."
Sun Weiran skillfully lit a cigarette for Lei Jun. He and Lei Jun were both heavy smokers and must smoke 20 cigarettes a day.
Lei Jun closed his eyes, took a sip, and said slowly: "Listen to me and do as he says. Even I don't want to provoke him and I can't do it."
"But……"
Sun Weiran couldn't help but feel hurt. HeLa credit violated the rules and obtained user information for sale. He naturally knew it.
But this was a business without capital, and with profits of tens of millions a year, he really couldn't help it.
Besides, what Beccara needs most is to increase its net profit and make its prospectus look good.
Now that this way of making money is cut off, how could Sun Weiran be willing to give up?
Lei Jun opened his eyes again, full of indifference.
"No but, I will only help you once. I only hold 1% of the shares. There is no need to offend Chen Dongcheng for you."
Sun Weiran shrank his neck: "Don't worry, I know what I know, and I will do what Mr. Chen said when I get back."
No matter how reluctant he is to let go, he can only admit it.
