Chapter 372 The Fight Begins (Last Day to Ask for Monthly Tickets, Ask for Guaranteed Monthly Tickets!)
Chapter 372 The fight begins... (The last day to ask for monthly tickets, and the guaranteed monthly tickets!)
July 26.
Li Dongqiang hurriedly walked into Zhang Sheng's office.
"Mr. Zhang, I heard that you rejected all the capital investment?"
"Yes!"
"Mr. Zhang, this is the best time for us [Qiangsheng Online Mall] to grow and develop, and even to gain a foothold in this circle. How can you just refuse it?"
"..."
The morning sun shone into the office.
Li Dongqiang's face was puzzled.
Domestic enterprises...
In fact, they are used to enterprises making certain achievements in the market, being noticed by capital for several rounds of negotiations, and then being financed and invested, and finally taking advantage of the huge power of capital, and then sweeping the market and soaring.
The processes of all the Internet giants, such as Qgou, [Taozhu.com], [Duanmu Games], etc., which are now in full swing, are almost the same.
A few days ago, Li Dongqiang was quite excited.
He heard that countless capitals began to favor [Qiangsheng Online Mall], and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
With the capital injection and support, they can enter this market better. By then, on August 8, their [Qiangsheng Online Mall] will be able to pit Zhang Xing's upcoming [Tuantuan.com] and Ma Yunhua's [Taozhu.com] on August 8th...
He even imagined that he would fight with these two companies on August 8th, and finally divide the world into three parts and laugh at the world!
But...
Just this morning, he heard a very explosive news!
He heard that Zhang Sheng had no intention of injecting any capital into [Qiangsheng Online Mall]...
His heart trembled violently.
It was as if he was watching a village of overwhelming wealth being shattered in front of him.
His face was a little flushed, and he looked at Zhang Sheng breathlessly.
But Zhang Sheng looked out the window calmly: "I don't like people standing on me..."
Outside the window.
A gust of wind blew in.
The wind brought a few heat waves.
July is the hottest period of the whole summer.
"Mr. Zhang, capital is not as scary as you think. It is definitely not a scourge. Moreover, many predecessors have taken this path. We don't have to worry about anything..."
"Do you understand capital?" Zhang Sheng turned his gaze from the window to Li Dongqiang's face and asked this question very seriously.
Li Dongqiang was stunned.
He wanted to answer, "I understand", but somehow, under Zhang Sheng's deep gaze, he found that he couldn't say anything.
Finally, he looked away.
"As of now, what is the data of [Qiangsheng Online Mall]?"
"[Qiangsheng Online Mall] is now in a vigorous development stage, and the number of registered members has reached 200,000! At the same time, within a week, our [Qiangsheng Online Mall] has achieved sales of 8 million. There are 200 merchants who have settled in, 30 merchants are queuing to settle in, and nearly 50 merchants are negotiating with us... Mr. Zhang, we are now at a critical juncture. Without the blessing of capital, even if you want to burn money, how long can you burn it?"
"..."
"The customers brought by the cheapness will also leave because of the cheapness... Although the sales volume is 8 million, in fact, we are all losing money and have no profit at all!"
"..."
Although Li Dongqiang had some emotions in his heart, he still told Zhang Sheng the data very seriously after hearing Zhang Sheng's question.
However...
After speaking, Li Dongqiang began to become anxious again.
Zhang Sheng was listening from beginning to end.
After listening, he nodded.
But he didn't say anything from beginning to end.
"Mr. Zhang..." After watching Zhang Sheng remain silent for a long time, Li Dongqiang became a little anxious.
"Mr. Li."
"Yes."
"Our core goal is to make merchants continue to make profits and let customers get benefits..." Zhang Sheng stared at Li Dongqiang and suddenly said this inexplicable sentence.
"???" Li Dongqiang was a little confused.
We were talking about investment here, and suddenly there was something about merchants making profits and customers getting benefits.
It's irrelevant, okay? Moreover, if you want to achieve these two points, you also have to have money to burn!
"Mr. Zhang, August 8th is coming soon, [Tuan Tuan Gou] is about to go online, [Taozhu.com] is ready to go, Mr. Zhang, our seemingly full and growing traffic, if we don't come up with new money subsidy strategies, we will sooner or later be sucked away by them. When all of them are sucked away by them, the sales of merchants will drop sharply. Under the vicious cycle, we have no way out!"
Li Dongqiang said a lot of pessimistic predictions about the future in one breath.
But Zhang Sheng still said something irrelevant: "Mr. Li, in the next stage, we will be more strict in the review of merchants entering... We will try to focus on small and medium-sized merchants and young entrepreneurs..."
"Mr. Zhang!"
"Mr. Li..."
"Mr. Zhang, I want to talk to you about business!"
"Mr. Li, I am also talking to you about business."
The office was briefly frozen.
Li Dongqiang felt that the more he was stunned, the more stuffy his chest became. After a long time of relaxation, he finally took a breath.
After a while, he saw Zhang Sheng stand up.
"Mr. Li, the capital war is about to start. This capital war will be very cruel, and it is easy to start, but it is very difficult to really stop it..."
Zhang Sheng’s mind was filled with the [Thousands of Groups War] and [The Rise of Pinduoduo] of the original world.
Those were extremely bloody battlefields in the ocean of capital.
“Mr. Zhang, I don’t know what you are talking about…” Li Dongqiang frowned, and he found that he could no longer communicate with Zhang Sheng.
He even suspected that Zhang Sheng had suffered some kind of blow, and his thinking began to become confused. He couldn’t understand a word Zhang Sheng said.
"We can indeed get a generous investment, and in the coming days, we can also compete with countless [group buying merchants] in spending money, from online to offline, and do everything we can... We may even become the final winner, ascend to the throne, and control the entire market, but... Have you ever thought about it, the capital has helped us burn so much money, do you think they will really do charity?"
"He just wants to make money through us..."
"That's right, but, unknowingly, you will also become their spokesperson in China, commonly known as [puppet]!"
"But, didn't they say that they don't participate in the voting of core rights, and then..."
"When you are controlled by huge capital and you have no way out without capital, what is the meaning of these so-called core votes to them?"
"But at least we can survive and make money..." When Li Dongqiang heard this, he was stunned at first, and then took a deep breath.
"Mr. Li, do you believe me?"
"Mr. Zhang, I can sit in the office and talk to you about these things now. Doesn't that prove that I believe?"
"If you believe me, you will do what I say. Next, no matter what happens in the outside world, we must find a way to control cost expenditures. Never invest in offline advertising to keep the merchants profitable. Even if the profit is micro-blog, we must keep the profitability of those small and medium-sized merchants. In addition, we have to move our positions. The big cities will be the most brutal places for fighting. We have to go to some second- and third-tier cities to find cooperative brands and avoid the edge... You can say that you can linger on, you can say that you can be embarrassed, but at least we can survive."
"Are we just a bystander in this war? We can obviously be participants!" Li Dongqiang gritted his teeth, with a strong unwillingness in his heart.
"Remember, we can only become the real winner if we survive."
"..."
After listening, Li Dongqiang lowered his head.
He sat back in his chair and lit a cigarette.
After about ten minutes, he finally nodded and sighed: "Okay..."
…………………………
The last two days of July.
Everything was very peaceful.
The number of registered users of [Qiangsheng Online Mall] has exceeded 300,000.
The number of merchants has also expanded from 200 to 240...
But...
They are still small second- and third-tier brands, and there is no imported brand. They are all domestic products such as [Mengxiang Instant Noodles], [Hongwei Clothing], and [Senchao].
The last day of July.
The average daily sales of [Qiangsheng Online Mall] increased from more than one million to more than two million.
It is a very gratifying leap forward.
But...
When August 1st...
When Zhang Xing suddenly launched [Tuantuan.com] ahead of schedule, and overnight, dense advertisements were placed on buses, newspapers, outdoor and other offline platforms in places such as Magic City, Yanjing, and Yangcheng.
Everyone was attracted by the advertisements of [Tuantuan.com]!
The advertisement is actually very simple, just like [Qiangsheng Online Mall], using the gimmick of [10 billion subsidies].
But the difference is...
The money you earn from completing tasks on [Tuantuan.com] can not only be used to buy anything on [Tuantuan.com], but you can even cash it out!
And...
What's even more amazing is that [Qiangsheng Online Mall]'s main gimmick of "buying a mobile phone for one yuan" is also in use, but the mobile phones sold by [Qiangsheng Online Mall] are basically domestic knockoff mobile phones that imitate the iPhone 4, while [Tuantuangou] (Tuantuangou) directly buys the genuine iPhone 4 for "one yuan"!
And the number is even more amazing compared to [Qiangsheng Online Mall]. Basically, as long as you place an order, as long as you are in the top 30 users who open the merchant link, you can buy it for "one yuan"!
Of course...
In [Tuantuan.com], there are not only iPhone 4s, but also many famous brands and big brands, including international brands such as Hermes!
One thousand yuan!
Buy Hermes bags!
Can you believe it?
The sudden appearance of [Tuantuan.com] caused an uproar in the entire Chinese online shopping circle!
Even Ma Yunhua was stunned!
He called Zhang Xing immediately.
"Didn't you say that it would be launched on August 8? Let's launch the shopping festival together!"
"Why do we need to launch a shopping festival now? Let's launch the group purchase first. I heard that a lot of overseas capital has entered the [group purchase] track. If you run slower, you may not be able to catch the soup!"
"..."
Just after Ma Yunhua finished the call with Zhang Xing.
He received new news.
[Hongsen Capital] invested in [Minuo.com].
Although [Minuo.com] has not yet been launched, they spent 100 million to place an advertisement during the prime time of CCTV...
In addition to [Minuo.com], when it was early in the morning, Ma Yunhua stared at the news!
Overnight, many group-buying websites such as [Qianshou.com] and [Pengyou.com] emerged in China!
Even many small shopping websites, such as [Ebay.com] and [Amu.com], which account for 40% of the shopping website market share in China, began to announce that they had received capital investment and began to rush into the "group-buying" track like crazy...
Overnight!
Many heroes emerged!
…………………………
August 3.
[Shengteng Network Technology].
Xu Guangbiao was receiving nutrient solution while typing code with his other hand.
His eyes were red.
Red Bull...
It was no use to him.
He was very tired, but he had not reached the stage of sudden death.
Even, he was vaguely excited.
Just two days ago...
Zhang Sheng came to his office and told him in a very serious tone.
"Mr. Xu, our company is in a very scary stage now, and I am powerless to change these things!"
"Mr. Xu, I leave everything to you!"
"This time, life and death are all in your hands!"
The earnestness and trust in Zhang Sheng's words still echo in his mind.
He was excited!
Touched!
Even wanted to cry!
He gritted his teeth!
Damn it!
Twenty days!
I must lead those people to make an APP!
(Please give me a monthly ticket!)
