Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chapter 224 Listen to advice
On December 12th.

A certain media tabloid suddenly broke the news on Renren Weibo.

Ni Zhen was kissing a woman who was suspected to be a female college student in a bar.

This big news immediately set off a trend.

Countless people flocked to Renren Weibo to watch the development of the incident.

Why?

Because the tabloid that broke the news opened an account on Renren Weibo, and Ni Zhen and Vivian Chow were also there.

The entertainment industry has been turbulent this year. The scandal of the nude photos has not yet completely subsided, and playboy Ni Zhen was kissing a hot girl in a bar.

For a time, many people were madly criticizing Ni Zhen.

Everyone is speaking up for the beautiful actress Vivian Chow.

The story between the two people is extremely bloody.

When everyone on the Internet supported Vivian Chow and told her to stay away from the scumbag.

Unexpectedly, a week later, I heard rumors that Vivian Chow was getting married, and my glasses were shattered to pieces.

Because of this entertainment industry turmoil, the number of registered users and daily active users of Renren Weibo has experienced explosive growth.

After several months of development, the situation on the Weibo battlefield has gradually become clear.

Tencent discovered that the group buying track was very attractive and invested in Meituan. They entered the market the latest. After a calm analysis, Pony Ma felt that they might not be able to beat Chen Pingjiang, so they gradually reduced their investment in Weibo.

Sina Weibo is competing very closely with Renren Weibo, but it is just a small fry.

The main reason is that Renren's ecosystem is too perfect, with multiple lines progressing in parallel and supporting each other. In addition, it has a good foundation and entered the market early, so it has firmly established itself as the number one in the market.

With the gradual growth of major new media, various joke accounts, and grassroots influencers, Renren Weibo has, to some extent, become invincible.

While the group buying market is in full swing, Weibo is also making considerable moves.

A guy who wears glasses, has greasy and flat hair, is slightly fat, and has average facial features, uploaded a photo on Renren Weibo one day.

In the photo, he was wearing a black suit and looked like a real estate agent.

And the caption reads: "I can't find a partner, what do you think is my problem?"

What the blogger probably didn’t expect was that someone actually commented on him, and many netizens suggested that he first change his hairstyle, lose weight, and change his outfit.

The blogger also responded promptly in the comment section and actually did as advised.

The execution is very strong.

Following the suggestions of netizens, she started a huge transformation project. Losing weight, changing her hairstyle, changing her outfit... Every time she released a new change, it would attract the attention and discussion of netizens.

As time goes by, Xiao Ai's image has changed dramatically compared to the past. His attitude of humbly accepting advice and working hard to change has won praise from many netizens, many of whom call him "the most receptive man on the Internet." His inspirational story has also been circulated on other platforms.

In just a few months, with the spirit of actively adopting suggestions, strong self-discipline and perseverance, Xiao Ai has completed a complete transformation. From her hairstyle, figure, and outfit to her overall state and temperament, she has presented a brand new look.

It wasn't a big deal.

But it just happens to attract the interest of netizens.

As a result, many netizens who were not satisfied with themselves in various aspects also joined the army of "listening to advice".

This operation left Sina dumbfounded.

At this time, the disadvantage of Weibo as a stranger social network came out again. There were no connections on it, which meant that there was little cost to retain users. Many users began to migrate from Sina Weibo to Renren Weibo.

What would the bloggers and big Vs on Sina Weibo do when they see this?
They have opened secondary accounts on Renren Weibo.

This further exacerbated the decline of Sina Weibo.

Group buying also needs to be integrated with the local market and requires manpower to promote it. If you lose on the Internet, you lose, and if you can’t win, you will fail miserably.

Sina was busy trying to keep people there and only just managed to stabilize the situation.

…………

December is the month when WoWo.com is most active in poaching people.

It seemed as if he was awakened by Chen Pingjiang.

WoWotuan CEO Xu Maodong is going further and further on the road of poaching people.

A big event happened in the group buying industry this month. WoWotuan directly poached the manager of the East China region of Lashou.com.

Compared with LaShou's small-scale poaching, Xu Maodong is really willing to spend money.

This guy is not short of money. He has been an entrepreneur for many years. He has sold Qilu Supermarket, Kaiwei Advertising, and Baifentonglian. Ultimately, his goal is to build a listed company.

So it really costs a lot of money to do it.

The group buying market suddenly became bloody.

You dig mine and I dig yours, and neither of us will have an easy time.

The headhunting company that WoWoTuan hired was very professional. They compiled a document about the sales teams of other websites in various cities, recording the sales rankings of the sales teams last month and the mood of each person. For example, a certain salesperson was in a bad mood recently because the city manager gave a big order to his friend instead of him. I wonder what the executives of other websites felt when they saw this document.

The enemy knows their own men better than they know themselves.

WoWotuan spared no expense to acquire all the small websites in various places. It was a high-profile move with lots of money.

Chen Pingjiang was envious of his wealth and power.

The entire northwest of Shanxi was in chaos, but Renrengou was sitting on the Diaoyutai, beating up its LaShou brothers in Shanghai every day and refusing to go anywhere except its own territory.

If you have a sandbox, you will be surprised.

The area where Renrengou is located and the areas where other group buying websites are located are clearly distinguished.

No one wanted to provoke Chen Pingjiang in the first place, especially after Lashou.com suffered a setback in Shanghai, they were even more willing to stroke the tiger's whiskers.

Don't let yourself get into trouble when you fail to conquer the market.

Of course, Gao Songbin was not idle either.

The recruitment speed of Renren Iron Army has been significantly accelerated, with multiple training camps opened at the same time, and the next strategy has begun to be formulated.

Yan Yan grew up very quickly. When she first started working, she experienced newcomer shock. She spent ten days reading documents until she felt dizzy and finally finished reading them all.

She does have a learning method. She doesn't just read without remembering, but also adds her own understanding.

It’s true, the effect of reading documents is quite good. Now Yan Yan is barely able to perform the job of assistant.

"Mr. Chen, this is a message from Mr. Bu in North America." Yan Yan was wearing a professional suit with her hair tied up, exuding a slightly mature charm.

Chen Pingjiang pretended to be angry: "Didn't I tell you that we shouldn't call each other 'Mr. Chen'? You are so polite. You always don't listen. I will spank you next time."

Yan Yan blushed and handed over the document: "This is the company."

Bu Housheng's bottom-fishing operation in North America has come to an end.

The market started to fall in July and continued to plunge after the collapse of Lehman Brothers. On September 7 alone, $9 trillion evaporated from the U.S. stock market, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 29 points, or nearly 1.2%.

I have been bottom-fishing for several months. I have bought stocks of many technology companies such as Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft, and I almost always entered the market at the lowest point.

It can be said that even if Chen Pingjiang does nothing now, he will not have to worry about food and drink in his next life.

You should know that September 2008 was the lowest point of Apple’s stock price. If you bought $9 of Apple stock at this time and held it, it would be worth $1000 million by 2023.

It has increased tenfold.

…………

Returning to the University of Finance and Economics again felt somewhat unfamiliar to Chen Pingjiang.

"It's strange. I'm only a junior, but why do I feel a little nostalgic?"

Yan Yan smiled secretly and said, "Because you hardly go to school."

Chen Pingjiang nodded: "That's right, I'll take you to the boys' dormitory."

The two of them strolled around the campus of the University of Finance and Economics, and from time to time, they heard exclamations or greeted Chen Pingjiang.

Among the people who greeted him, Chen Pingjiang didn't know any of them.

But all the students know him, mainly because the publicity work of the University of Finance and Economics is so good.

"It's strange, why are you all here today? "

Everyone in dormitory 603 thought they had heard it wrong.

When I looked up, I saw Chen Pingjiang standing at the dormitory door holding Yan Yan's hand.

"Fuck, Brother Chen, you still know how to come back?"

"Oh my god, is this my sister-in-law?"

This was the first time that everyone saw Yan Yan, and Zhao Shaoyang and others were in a daze.

He had to avoid suspicion in front of Chen Pingjiang and tried hard not to peek at Yan Yan, but he couldn't help it and occasionally took a sneak peek when others weren't paying attention.

"Sister-in-law, do you have any cousins? Introduce them to me, my brother." Zhao Shaoyang was quite thick-skinned.

Yan Yan smiled and said, "No."

Zhao Shaoyang looked disappointed.

"Can you still be in need of a girlfriend? Others may not know, but I know you."

"Brother Chen, we are familiar with each other, but if you slander me, I will sue you for defamation."

After not seeing each other for a few months, their appearance has not changed much, but their temperament is different.

Mature but also decadent.
