Reborn Millennial Gamer

Chapter 614 Repeated battles and repeated defeats, repeated defeats and repeated battles (5k)

July 6, afternoon.

"Wife, wife, calm down."

Wang Ce looked at the shopping carts of his prodigal ladies. Except for Wanglaoji, Shuangwaiwai, Six Walnuts, Monster Energy Drink, and a little bit, they were almost all Qilixiang's sub-brands.

Can't help swallowing, "There are only three people in our family, so many drinks, even if we drink it as water, it's enough for half a year!"

"How can this be enough for half a year?"

The wife raised her hand: "It's okay, you can't finish drinking, if you don't have your parents, if your parents can't finish drinking, if you don't have my parents!"

"Then don't just buy these, at least buy two boxes of milk for your son, it's time to grow up." Wang Ce was speechless for a while.

"Are you stupid, or have a bad memory."

The wife rolled her eyes angrily: "It's only been 'Silu Milk Powder', how dare you let your son drink domestic milk?"

"I can't stop drinking milk."

Wang Ce pouted, "Imported milk is too expensive."

"Hey, that's all right."

The wife quickly placed the order, "It is also a sub-brand of Qilixiang, and I am quite at ease with Qilixiang."

While the couple were chatting, an announcement suddenly popped up on the Qilixiang flagship store page without warning:
"Emergency Announcement on Shipping and Inventory".

"Thank you very much for your support and love for Qilixiang!"

"Everyone's enthusiasm and 'wild consumption' have confused our system, resulting in inaccurate data on order delays. As of now, the existing production and delivery capabilities cannot keep up with everyone's delivery service needs. We are expediting..."

"It is recommended that everyone must consume rationally!"

"If there is no actual demand, just come to us when there is a demand. If you want to support more domestic brands, you can also pay attention to Elephant Instant Noodles, Hongxing Erke, Huiyuan Juice..."

"Finally, for friends who are in a hurry, please place an order carefully, or friends who have already taken pictures can apply for a refund. We apologize for the inconvenience caused and thank you for your attention!"

"See?"

Wang Ce poked the computer screen, "People are advising us to consume rationally, or to buy less."

"But the more it says that, the more I want to buy it. It's so conscientious, husband, what do you think should I do?" The wife blinked.

"It's a big deal, let's continue to buy when the 'Double Eleven' is coming. At that time, Feigou.com will definitely offer more discounts." Wang Ce nuzzled, "Not only Qilixiang, Wanglaoji, Hongxing Erke, Elephant, Huiyuan Juice, anyway. It’s all about supporting domestic products!”

My wife's eyes lit up, "Then on Double Eleven, I'll buy Metersbonwe, Hongxing Erke for you and your son..."

"No, I want Baleno!"

"Why buy Baleno?"

"What do you know, Lu Fei used to wear Baleno, this brand is very popular now, and Liu Dehua endorses it."

Wang Ce's eyes were full of expectation.

"Success, then buy it!" The wife made a decision: "If it weren't for Lu Fei's Weibo, you would have lost all the money you spent in the stock market last year. It's because you listened to him and didn't get caught."

"He is a stock god, I don't listen to him and anyone else."

Wang Ce rubbed his mouth in dissatisfaction, "Well, I just regret why I bought Ahli Baba's stock. It's really unlucky. I don't dare to look at it now. I can only raise it for half a year." Saying that, he slapped the back of his hand depressedly.

"Why can't I control my hand!"

"Don't bother, that's it, I'll pay."

The wife emptied the shopping cart with ease.

This purchase cost nearly 4000 more.

Immediately afterwards, she directly took a screenshot of the order information, went to Qilixiang's official Weibo account, commented on the attached picture, and immediately got likes and praise from netizens.

Just see the comment area, there are countless people like her.

"Advise us to consume rationally? I advise your boss not to meddle in other people's business! I want "wild consumption", just not short of money!"

"Boss! Do you still want to do business!"

"Dry the assembly line in Qilixiang's workshop to smoke!"

"Don't worry, take your time, I can't receive the goods, my son will accept it, if the son can't receive it, send it to my grandson!"

"Return the product? Why return it? It's my business to drink it into diabetes. I insist on drinking it. It's a big deal. I'll take insulin to support you."

"Jay Lun is getting fat. He must have drunk your milk tea! If you buy all your milk tea, Jay Lun won't be able to drink milk tea anymore!"

"Drinking Qilixiang these days is more face-saving than drinking Starbucks."

"........."

Not only does it help Qilixiang to find the hot search online and the sense of wealth, but it also effectively promotes the sales of Qilixiang, online shopping, and offline retail. Even the newly opened milk tea shop in Hantang Plaza is crowded with people and business is booming.

Unexpectedly, it set off an upsurge of joining milk tea shops.

Even boarded the No. [-] channel of Yangma——

"Qilixiang is popular: love is like a tide".

The hot sale of Qilixiang is just a microcosm of Feibu Jingdong and Meituan. The sales volume of June [-] is the best, except for Ali Baba, Dangdang.com, Amazon Huaxia, Baidu "Yeah", eBay and other e-commerce companies. The third echelon has to hold its own.

The next day, the news about June [-] was overwhelming.

"Congratulations! The total sales of e-commerce has exceeded 200 billion yuan! Feibu accounted for 75%, half of the country!"

"Calling for rational consumption failed, wild consumption boosted Feigou, and Meituan both created miracles. Feibu broke last year's Double Eleven results with 122.6 billion, and Meituan even hit 150 billion with a nearly 33.26% increase, officially promoted to No. 155.86 in China The three major e-commerce platforms, together with Feigou, cut [-] billion in sales.”

"The Spring Thunder Project came to a successful conclusion! Feigou.com CEO Liu Weidong said: The success of Meituan's '[-]' is based on the new online shopping model of 'limited-time buying + group buying', behind which is a complete big data analysis and artificial intelligence technology , in the second half of the year, these black technologies will also be applied to Feigou.com, and it is expected that this year's 'Double Eleven' will hit a new high and stimulate consumption..."

"Very disappointed! Ah Li Baba failed to break through 45 billion!"

"44.76 billion, so-so, a 60-point pass report card failed to stop Ahli Baba's stock price from falling."

"On June [-]th, Meituan became the biggest winner! Lu Yun couldn't sit still!"

"Unexpectedly, Huaxia E-commerce is likely to change owners for the second time."

"..."

"Hahaha~"

Xu Lei walked up to Lu Fei and unfolded the newspaper, "Look at this picture, I can't breathe from laughing."

I saw a funny picture similar to Don Quixote fighting the windmill.

Don Quixote is naturally Lu Yun, with Tao Duoduo's logo printed on his armor, and what he rides is not a donkey, but a fox that symbolizes Ali Papa.

However, Fengche is not Feigo.com, but Meituan.

Feigou.com is drawn as a giant dragon hovering in the sky, hiding in the clouds, looking at Lu Yun with pity and contempt.

"The public relations fee is not in vain."

The corners of Lu Fei's mouth turned up involuntarily.

"This is not the only newspaper that speaks badly about Ahri."

Xu Lei chuckled, "If you want to blame, you can only blame Lu Yun. If you can break 45 billion in June [-], you won't fall to this point. Don't talk about catching up with us, you will soon be down to the point where we will be with our children." Brands are competing against each other.”

"Let's not get too complacent."

Lu Fei waved his hand.

This time, Meituan’s actual data is about 23 billion, and the extra 10 billion is allocated from Jingdong’s share. Otherwise, depending on the size of Meituan, it will not be able to reach this level next year.

But there has been clear progress.

The gap with Ali Baba has been shortened from twice that of last year to double now, and maybe within three or four years we will be able to catch up.

"Too."

Xu Lei nodded, "Without Jingdong's 10 billion, Feigou has already broken 130 billion, but it's okay, anyway, it will break sooner or later. This time, 3C Digital didn't fully exert its strength, and it was completely supported by home appliances, computers, and Qilixiang. Yes, when Logic's new products are pre-sold in the second half of the year, maybe the total sales will exceed 200 billion!"

"Look, you are worthless!" Flygo alone and Jingdong alone should be worth 200 billion, and Meituan will count separately! "Lu Fei smiled.

"Hey, hey, whatever you say is what you say."

Xu Lei looked at the Hong Kong stock information displayed on the computer.

The stock price of Ali Baba has dropped from the highest level of 37.5 Hong Kong dollars last year to only 5.62 Hong Kong dollars. In just half a year, the market value has evaporated by 218 billion US dollars, leaving only 38 billion US dollars.

Shareholders of Xiangjiang complained and mourned.

Those in the mainland gloated, because they either couldn't buy it, or didn't want to buy Aribaba's Hong Kong stocks, so they weren't locked in.

Ever since, a sentence gradually circulated in the stock market——

Thank you, Ari Baba, for not slaughtering me!

"When did you say that Ali Baba will fall below 1 Hong Kong dollar and become a fairy stock?" Xu Lei stared at the green light of the market.

"Soon, if the two banks in the United States can't hold on, the Federal Reserve and the Ministry of Finance will have a headache again." Lu Fei poured two cups of tea, "We just need to watch quietly."

Xu Lei curled his lips: "This can also be regarded as a lesson for the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, let them see what kind of rotten fish and rotten shrimp they are promoting, and what grade is Ah Li Baba, and they are also worthy of being our opponents?"

"Don't say that, Lu Yun is doing us a favor."

Lu Fei gulped down the tea soup, "After the subprime mortgage bubble burst, if the Hong Kong Stock Exchange wants to revive the Hong Kong stock market, you can't count on Ari Baba. Perhaps the only thing you can count on is..."

"us!"

"There really is a day when I want the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to reject Penguin, so I begged Feigou to go public!"

"Double Eleven in the second half of the year, first give the Hong Kong Stock Exchange a small shock, jie jie jie~"

Xu Lei let out a weird laugh, which made Lu Fei laugh.

In an instant, the air was filled with joy.

"By the way, there is one thing I didn't understand. Why did you suggest that Pang Dongsheng sell 51.com to Lu Yun? Isn't this an enemy?"

Xu Lei stared straight at him.

Although 51.com has been hit hard, it is a large social networking site with 6000 million users after all, and a dead camel is bigger than a horse. As long as there is a conversion rate of more than 10%, it will be immeasurable to improve Ali Baba.

Besides, Pang Dongsheng's 51 net is completely different from Lu Yun's. Maybe 51 net can be revitalized.

"I just want to let 51 Net fall into Lu Yun's hands."

"why?"

"The acquisition of 51.com can consume Ahli Baba's cash reserves, and you don't have to worry about becoming an enemy, because 51.com won't survive."

"Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen?"

"Isn't 3G licenses going to be issued this year?"

"Yeah, according to the wind, it seems to be December."

"Penguin will also launch a brand new social product called 'WeChat', which you can understand as 'Fetion 2.0' in the mobile Internet era..."

Lu Fei raised a mysterious smirk.

Under the siege of QQ, Weibo, and WeChat, social networking sites like 51.com, which lag behind the mobile Internet, are bound to die.

What's more, live broadcasting is a bottomless pit of burning money!

"Hiss, you're killing people, and you're going to kill yourself."

Xu Lei shuddered.

Lu Yun, Lu Yun, how did you offend him!
...............

Throughout June, the situation changed again.

Both China's foreign trade and exports suffered setbacks, because the global economy, especially in Europe and the United States, has begun to decline.

The losses in the real estate market in the United States continued to increase, and the default rate of subprime bonds had exceeded 10 points. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac encountered the same situation as Bear Stearns at the beginning of the year.

The landlord's family has no food left!
The stock price of Fannie Mae plummeted by 28%, and the stock price of Freddie Mac plunged by 34%.

But the Fed can take care of this side, but can’t take care of Wall Street on the other side. The stock prices of Lehman, Merrill Lynch, and Morgan Stanley all fell. Lehman even had to fire two executives, taking the blame for the entire incompetent management.

Subprime mortgages are on the verge of collapse, and P2P has been thundered one after another.

Looking at the world economy, the scenery here is unique.

Plans such as home appliances going to the countryside, computers going to cities, and broadband popularization are being implemented in an orderly manner. Foreign trade in the southeast coast has shifted to domestic demand, and with the help of e-commerce, factories are running at full capacity.

For example, the production line of Shenzhou Computer has expanded and expanded.

After June [-], in the next half month, countless logistics vehicles and couriers shuttled on the road every day.

But Ali Papa suddenly lost his brain.

These days, Lu Yun has been shutting himself in the office.

Finally, Cai Chongxin came uninvited and knocked on the door.

"Chongxin, why are you here?"

Lu Yun was sitting in the study, holding "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his hands. When he saw Cai Chongxin, he was very surprised.

"I should ask you that."

Cai Chongxin frowned, "I didn't answer the phone, and I couldn't see you in the meeting. I thought something was wrong with you."

"Didn't I let you and Wei Zhe get used to it in advance? I won't ask too much about the specific business of the group in the future. I have a lot of things to do, and I have to focus on strategy."

Lu Yun said seriously: "The strategy of defeating Feigou!"

"So you watch Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

Cai Chongxin was extremely depressed, what time was it?

The fire is imminent. Meituan has grown up relying on Feigou, the big daddy. For a long time, when it comes to the June [-] shopping festival in the future, it may be Meituan.

It's like marrying a daughter-in-law, earning money to marry a daughter-in-law, earning money to build a house, and throwing a banquet. When it's time to enter the bridal chamber, there is nothing wrong with Ari.

Let Master Lu give it to me!
This is not a kind of NTR!

"Don't underestimate "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

Lu Yun smiled and said, "I've been studying Liu Bei recently."

"What did you research?" Cai Chongxin widened his eyes.

"Eight words, repeated battles and repeated defeats, repeated defeats and repeated battles."

Lu Yundao: "Do you think he faced Cao Cao, did he look like us and Lu Fei? He fought repeatedly and failed again and again, but there was one difference. He finally defeated Cao Cao in Hanzhong. Wu's sneak attack, who will win the deer, is really not sure!"

"Why don't we get Tong Yu back?"

Cai Chongxin sighed, "Although Wei Zhe is aggressive, he is still too young, let alone Liu Yandong, he may not be the opponent of Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen, if this continues..."

"Chongxin, have you accepted your fate?"

"what?"

"You also think that Lu Fei is invincible? Do you think Feigou.com is invincible? Do you think we can only be the second child?"

"I never thought of it that way!"

"That's right, if even you and I resign to our fate, then Ari Baba will be finished, and he is only worthy of being the second child in this life."

Lu Yun said solemnly: "Old Sun has resigned to his fate, so I will not bring him back. Similarly, one day Wei Zhe also resigned to his fate, and I will replace him immediately. The CEO of Ari Baba will resign to his fate, that is, Get rid of Lu Fei! Get rid of Feigou!"

"Of course, I will definitely stand by your side."

Cai Chongxin squeezed out a smile, "And I have good news. We have reached an agreement with Pang Dongsheng to buy all his shares for US$7650 million. 51.com will be ours from now on."

“Great value for money! Great value for money!”

Lu Yun remembers that it cost US$25 million to acquire 5100% of the shares. "As long as we can revitalize 51.com, this website can bring us far more than US$10 billion in value."

"So I'm waiting for you to announce the good news."

Cai Chongxin patted his shoulder, "Hurry up."

With that said, he dragged Lu Yun to the conference room.

At this moment, high-level executives such as Ali Baba, Taoduoduo, Yifu, and Yahoo all attended the scene, and their eyes were focused on him.

Lu Yun could keenly feel the lifeless atmosphere.

When the sales of Meituan were announced, I would never forget that the whole company felt like a sap, either in despair or on the road to despair. After all, it took only two or three years for Feigou to support an e-commerce platform at will. He was about to catch up with himself.

And it is Ali Baba, which has been on the market for nearly 9 years since its establishment.

"Wow~"

The applause was sparse and morale was low.

Cai Chongxin looked at Lu Yun anxiously, and saw that his eloquence was as good as ever, and he put himself into Liu Bei, talking about Liu Bei and Cao Cao endlessly.

Gradually, the applause became warmer.

Morale is also visibly revived.

Then he talked about his two college entrance examination failures.

"I failed the college entrance examination for the first time. My dream was to be a waiter in a hotel, but I was rejected because I was too ugly."

"The second time I failed the college entrance examination, I lowered the requirements. I went to McDonald's to accept an interview with the waiter. There were 13 people in total, and 12 people were admitted. It was because I was too ugly, so I became the only one who failed. From that moment, I will accept my fate."

"If you are ugly, you should read more books!"

"If you are ugly, you have to start a business!"

"Of course it is very difficult to run a business, and it is even more difficult to do a good business. It is like a war, always facing dangers and challenges."

"So many years of entrepreneurial experience have taught me that any difficulty must be faced by myself, and failure is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Just like this time Ahli Baba let Meituan catch up, just like Ahli Baba's Hong Kong stock price is about to plummet, don't be afraid..."

"Since you have chosen to challenge, you must carry it out to the end for the rest of your life. No matter what the result is, the challenger should not lower his head of confidence. Like Liu Bei, he must always firmly believe that he can rejuvenate the big man. We must always firmly believe in one thing— —”

"That's doing Flybuy!"

"Dry flying shopping!"

As a confidant, Wei Zhe was the first to raise his arms and shout.

Immediately afterwards, more and more people in the conference room also shouted, and the voices changed from scattered to slowly concentrated, louder and more orderly, almost toppling the entire roof.

"Repeated defeats, repeated defeats, repeated defeats!"

Cai Chongxin chanted slogans and looked at Lu Yun meaningfully.

He and Lu Fei are destined to be enemies for life...
