Chapter 690 Temporary Truce

Yan Xin stayed in Yangcheng until late March and went to work almost every day, including weekends.

I spend most of my time at Shiyu Company.

Because this company was fighting fiercely with its competitors, he didn't want Xiao Shiyu to be under too much pressure, so he wanted to help her share the pressure.

It wasn't until March 3st that his competitors stopped a new round of market expansion. This time the competition to expand the market came to an end, and he left Yangcheng and went to the Magic City.

This day is the 17th day of the second lunar month.

Exactly one month has passed since the new round of market expansion started on the 16th of the first lunar month and ended now.

In this wave of competition, both sides have burned a lot of money.

The expansion was finally stopped, not because anyone was soft-hearted, but because there was not much money left in their pockets.

If the other party doesn't make a truce, Shiyu can only continue to lend money.

Fortunately, they are not that rich. In other words, they are not particularly confident about the prospects of this industry and dare not play too big.

After a final inventory, Shiyu Company occupied a dozen fewer cities than others during this wave of expansion.

Competitors went to those dozen cities to expand their markets, but Shiyu failed to keep up.

Those are markets that Yan Xin considers to be less important and entry can be postponed for the time being.

From a territorial point of view, they lost.

But in terms of word-of-mouth, Shiyu wins.

Yan Xin is quite satisfied with the result.

The competitors are also quite satisfied with the results. There are more than a dozen cities in the market, which means they have won.

Both sides were indeed running out of ammunition and food. At this time, Shiyu had shown weakness and had not joined in some markets. They also took advantage of this opportunity to stop, and went to the media to send out a press release stating that they had won, and that was the end of it. this round of expansion.

Temporary truce.

Shiyu Company can also breathe a sigh of relief.

Under such circumstances, Yan Xin remembered that he had been separated from Aili for too long and should visit her.

Then we went to Magic City.

Now that Ellie's body has returned to normal, her work has gradually stabilized, and she is no longer as busy as before.

But I will go on a business trip every week to inspect projects in other areas of the Yangtze River Delta.

On the day Yan Xin came over, she took a day off to pick him up at the airport.

The two of them haven't seen each other for a long time. This time they met, it felt like a long separation was better than a newlywed.

The two got tired of being together that day, and from the afternoon until the next morning, Ellie had to go to work, and then they separated.

The day after Yan Xin arrived, he did not go to work. Instead, he visited a partner of Fengxiang Real Estate Company here and had lunch there.

He is a local snake here, so it would be very rude not to pay him a visit when he comes over.

However, the other party was quite polite to him - after all, he was someone who could bring him a lot of wealth.

In the afternoon, Yan Xin went to Anye Home Decoration to meet Feng Chen, and finally had dinner at his house.

Feng Chen bought a big house in Shanghai, not far from where he works. He also hired an aunt at home to help with cooking and taking care of the children, so that his wife Ruan Mengyao could be freed to help him fight. management company.

Last year, his mother-in-law came to help take care of the children for a period of time, but now his father-in-law's construction company is getting bigger and bigger, and his mother-in-law has to take care of his father-in-law's life, and also make sure that he doesn't mess around.

If his parents were to be brought over to take care of the children, I was afraid that the generation gap between the two generations would be too big and cause conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so I simply hired an aunt.

Now he is no longer short of money. He can afford a salary of several thousand a month.

That aunt is not from the Magic City, but from Ruan Mengyao's hometown. She is still somewhat related to her, so she is trustworthy.

The salary is certainly not low, including food and accommodation, six to seven thousand a month.

For that aunt, it was finding a high-paying job that she had never dreamed of.

For the young couple, they have found someone they trust, and they can safely leave their children to her. They don’t have to think about housework after get off work every day, and spend thousands of dollars to buy a month of relaxation and peace. Don’t worry, it’s well worth it.

This aunt cooks quite well. Although she has no special training and only makes some home-cooked dishes, the taste is not bad.

Yan Xin had dined with Feng Chen several times. When he came here this time, he found that their family's life was better than before.

In the past, the cost of a meal was only a dozen or a dozen yuan. It was a little better than the average wage earner, but it was very limited.

Now this meal, looking at the ingredients, must be worth two to three hundred yuan.

It's not too luxurious, but it's improved by more than one level compared to before.

It seems that the couple also knows how to enjoy life.

Of course, there is also a possibility that the food usually is not so good. This meal seemed so rich mainly because Yan Xin, a distinguished guest, came.

But no matter what, it's better than before - when I invited him to dinner, it was just a casual home-cooked meal.

Now we have an aunt at home, and there are dedicated people to do the work, and the home seems much cleaner.

——It’s not that this young couple lived a sloppy life before, but they were busy working before and really didn’t have much energy to do housework after they came back. The house was not well kept.

It's very different now.

After a busy day at work, having a better environment at home can make them feel more comfortable.

It seems that Feng Chen's physical condition is better now, and there is no obvious fatigue as before.

What Feng Chen and Yan Xin talked about most was the company's development.

Now in terms of interior decoration, their company is already the undisputed industry leader, with few competitors.

Their own website and app have a large number of users.

Not only can you apply for interior decoration business on it, but you can also post house rental advertisements. There are people who are looking for rent, and there are also people who want to rent out their own houses.

There are even advertisements for buying and selling houses.

For these advertising posts, the platform currently does not charge any advertising fees. Similarly, they will not assume the obligation to verify the authenticity. If anyone is fooled, they will not bear responsibility.

Of course, if there is evidence that they have been deceived, they will also ban the fraudulent account and cooperate with the investigation of the judicial department.

But this does not mean that as an Internet platform, they have no advertising revenue.

Not to mention advertising some building materials brands produced by Anye Home Decoration Company's factories. They are all owned by the company, so there is no need to charge advertising fees.

They will also receive some other advertisements.

It includes advertisements for some products produced by Jinxi Group, as well as advertisements for some furniture companies, and even advertisements for some affordable luxury brands, and sometimes car advertisements.

The users here mainly come here to decorate their houses, but after the houses are decorated, they have to buy some other things.

If there is such demand, such a market will be formed.

In this era, users who need to decorate their houses are also high-quality users.

Their spending power is greater. This also makes some brands willing to advertise on this platform.

During the Chinese New Year, Yan Xin suggested that Feng Chen increase the construction of the platform, and Feng Chen also listened.

On the one hand, it is to upgrade the platform, and on the other hand, it is to promote the platform.

In just over a month after the Chinese New Year, under the bombardment of a large number of advertisements, the number of registered members doubled.

As members increase, advertising fees will naturally increase.

If the delivery effect is good, more ads will enter.

While having dinner together, Feng Chen told Yan Xin that the advertising revenue of their Anye platform reached several million in February.

And in March, which is not yet over, advertising revenue has exceeded February.

According to this momentum, maybe in a few months, their monthly advertising revenue will exceed 10 million.

Although it is not a particularly large amount of money, their expenditure on building this platform is much more than the advertising fee.

But for them, this platform was originally founded just to promote the company's decoration business. Now the promotion of the main business has not been delayed, and they can also earn an advertising fee. That is an unexpected windfall, even if it is dozens of dollars a month. Wan, it is also a happy thing.

Not to mention there are millions more.

Speaking of this, Feng Chen was quite excited.

Several million a month is not a small amount.

He also asked Yan Xin how much advertising fees he could get in a month with such a large user base on the Shiyu platform.

Yan Xin told him: "Now the advertising fee is hundreds of thousands a month."

"Why are there so few?" Feng Chen felt incredible. "The user base of your platform is much larger than Anye's. Why is the advertising fee not as good as ours?"

Yan Xin said with a wry smile: "Those who order takeout every day are office workers who don't even have time to go out to eat. How much willingness and spending power do they have? They can only advertise some cheap goods. , not much value.”

Feng Chen nodded, thinking it made sense.

However, Yan Xin still told him that the advertising effect of their sauerkraut processing factory on the Shiyu platform was pretty good, and they had some ready-to-eat sauerkraut that sold quite well.

That is also an important sales channel for sauerkraut processing plants.

It's just that the advertisements placed by the sauerkraut processing factory here are quite low, which is almost like giving them away for free.

The pickled cabbage processing factory is a factory invested by Yan Xin and Feng's brother and sister. Xiao Shiyu's father is the director of the factory, and the employees are basically their fellow villagers.

Food Talk Platform is a company founded by Yan Xin and Xiao Shiyu.

This is my own company, so of course there should be discounts in the advertisements.

Although Shiyu Company has a large international consortium as a partner, they have little say. Xiao Shiyu can decide how high the advertising fee will be.

As long as you use the banner of helping farmers, you can explain it to your partners.

Not to mention lowering advertising costs, even free is no problem.

Other advertisements on this platform do not have very good results, but when it comes to food advertisements, the effect is still good.

When Yan Xin and Feng Chen were chatting, they mentioned that in the future, this platform would not carry advertisements for other food companies, but would only carry advertisements for its own food company.

There is no need to cultivate competitors.

Several food processing plants will be invested in the village this year, and advertisements will also be placed on this platform.

In the future, we can also enter the field of prepared dishes and self-heating dishes. It would be a good idea to place advertisements on this eating platform.

As they talked, they moved from the advertising business to the business of the several food processing plants they will invest in this year, and then to agricultural enterprises.

The more he spoke, the more energetic he became.

Feng Chen is now considered a successful person, a complete billionaire.

He also wanted to pursue something else.

For example, reputation.

Being able to help the folks in my hometown get rid of poverty and become rich is undoubtedly a very prestigious thing.

It doesn’t matter if you post a little money yourself.

Now together, the two of them can not only help the folks in their hometown get rid of poverty and become rich, and build a better hometown, but they can even make a fortune themselves.

That would be too confusing.

After dinner, the two chatted for more than an hour before Yan Xin left.

Feng Chen sent him to the garage.

I told him on the way: "It's very interesting to chat with you. You always bring me some new ideas. Let's talk more in the future."

Yan Xin smiled and said, "I will definitely come over when I have time."

Then he asked: "It's Qingming Festival, do you want to go back and sweep the tomb?"

Feng Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't have the time right now. It's too far away and it takes too much time to go back and forth. Let's wait until my career stabilizes in two years. I won't go back in the next two years."

It is indeed not easy to go back. If you stay at home for one day, you may have to spend two days on the road, and that is even if you are flying.

In his mind, this time wasted a little too much and was not worth it.

Tomb Sweeping Day is important, but it cannot be more important than Spring Festival.

It's enough to be able to go home once a year. It's better to save that quota for the Spring Festival.

He asked Yan Xin again: "Are you ready to go back?"

Yan Xin nodded: "Well, I'm going to go back with Feng Xi on April 4nd, and take a look at the progress of the food processing plants that I want to invest in this year."

He patted Feng Chen on the shoulder and said: "You don't have to work so hard for your career. The current team is pretty good. Delegate power when it's time to delegate it. Leave some time for yourself to enjoy life. There's no need to work so hard. "

"What you said makes sense. I have to enjoy life in the future," Feng Chen said with a smile, "But now I am really too busy, and I will have to wait for another year or two."

He listened to his words, but he was not prepared to carry them out.

Yan Xin had no choice.

Some people are lazy by nature, like him, they can just lie down as long as they are not forced by life.

Some people are just diligent and just want to work, and they feel uncomfortable without working for a day.

It's hard to make sense.

Feng Chen didn't want to argue with him, and it was hard for him to continue nagging.

I can only tell him: "Then you should also pay attention to your health, and don't destroy your body."

Feng Chen chuckled and said to him:

"Don't worry, I'm in good health now, much healthier than before."
