Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chapter 229: Beat Meituan's Sales Representatives
Chen Pingjiang took some time to go to Zhongshan Villa to take a look.

Yan Yan was not with him.

This girl, who is usually calm, has been quite excited in recent days.

Chen Pingjiang dragged Cao Jie around to look at houses every day, and he was happy to see her doing that.

The Zhongshan Villa was bought in early June last year. It has been almost 10 months now, and Chen Pingjiang has never come here once. It has always been Li Yuhua who has been watching over it.

It's not easy for the future mother-in-law either.

Chen Pingjiang felt that he was losing money, and he also wanted his daughter to have some status in the family after she got married, so he took the initiative to take on this job.

I haven't been here for more than half a year, and the Zhongshan Villa has changed a lot now.

The decoration style is modern. It’s not that the neo-Chinese style is bad, but Chen Pingjiang is not old enough to appreciate it yet.

He dislikes European decoration style even more.

Money can make the world go round.

The decoration company we found acted quite quickly.

The main decoration has been completed in just over half a year, and we have now entered the stage of installing lighting and wardrobes.

When Chen Pingjiang rushed to Zhongshan Villa, he unexpectedly met He Zhiyu, Liu Cheng and Wan Qiping at the gate.

Ever since Chen Pingjiang advised these three people to withdraw from the stock market and put their money into real estate, they have become as close as a family.

"Why are you three here?"

He Zhiyu smiled when he saw Chen Pingjiang: "You are a rare guest. I usually don't see you when I go to your house. At most, only President Li is there."

Liu Cheng also said: "My third brother has already bought the last three villas here. The only drawback is that the three villas are not next to each other."

Chen Pingjiang laughed dumbly: "You three didn't see that I bought a villa here and ran over eagerly, right?"

"Isn't it? We heard that you bought it, so we came to learn more about it. We really liked it after seeing it. This is truly a Feng Shui treasure land. Buy one less."

These three people made a lot of money in the stock market first and then in the real estate market, and they got the best of both worlds.

Buying a villa is a piece of cake for them.

But the choice to buy a villa in Zhongshan is not just because of the good location, the key lies in the house that Chen Pingjiang bought here.

At the moment, the levels of these three people are really far from Chen Pingjiang. Even though Chen Pingjiang is not opposed to contacting them, the huge disparity in social status and wealth makes He Zhiyu and the other two feel embarrassed to look for Chen Pingjiang for no reason.

People...

Once you’ve tasted the sweetness, it’s hard to give up eating sugar.

It was so nice to follow Chen Pingjiang and make a living. As long as Chen Pingjiang gave them a little guidance, it would be enough for them to benefit endlessly.

After finding a teahouse and sitting there for half the afternoon, Chen Pingjiang finally sent the three people away.

Yan Yan called in the middle of the process and said that the office location had been found.

Chen Pingjiang became interested and drove over to take a look.

When I actually saw it, I was a little dumbfounded.

This is an old apartment building. The location is good, but it is too dilapidated and the walls are a bit yellowed.

What’s even more frustrating is that the toilet window faces the corridor outside and there is no ventilation duct.

This means that once someone goes to the toilet, if the toilet door is opened, the smoke will spread to the employees in the office area, and if the window is opened, the smoke will spread to the pedestrians passing in the aisle.

The office area is only about 50 square meters, and is separated into upper and lower parts. Chen Pingjiang, who is just over meters tall, feels a little restrained when walking inside.

"I gave you 10 million in start-up capital, but you don't need to rent an office like this, right?"

Yan Yan looked around and said disapprovingly: "I think this place is pretty good. At least it's cheap enough, only 4,000 yuan a month."

Cao Jie also chimed in: "Yes, there are only two of us, we don't need such a large venue."

Chen Pingjiang nodded and said, as long as they are happy, let them be.

"Tomorrow I will go to the labor market to recruit personnel, finance, and administration." Cao Jie seemed full of energy.

Chen Pingjiang burst into laughter when he heard these words.

"The company is not big, but it's very pretentious. There are only two of you. Why do you need a human resources, finance, and administration department? It's just a lot of money to burn."

"Ah!" Cao Jie looked confused. "I can do the administration part-time, but I don't know how to do accounting, handle social insurance, or understand labor law."

"At most, we only need to recruit for an administrative position. Finance is not needed for the time being. We can outsource it later if needed. We will recruit again at the end. The most urgent task is to recruit technical personnel and develop the platform."

Yan Yan was fine, but Cao Jie had already gotten over the excitement of starting a business in just a few days. She felt a headache just thinking about what she had to do next.

I always feel that Chen Pingjiang's entrepreneurship is as easy as eating and drinking, which inevitably gives people the illusion that I can do it too.

It wasn't until I actually got started that I realized how difficult it was.

Just finding a suitable office location was a hassle for the two of them, not to mention the subsequent recruiting.

It is difficult for a startup company like theirs to recruit satisfactory technical personnel, and others may not necessarily look up to them.

Even if they succeed in recruiting someone, they will still face various problems such as long development process and business promotion.

How to attract users and merchants to join the platform?
How to stimulate their desire to post?
They are all problems!

Cao Jie pulled Yan Yan aside and chattered about her work.

After coming back, Chen Pingjiang found that Yan Yan's face was red.

Chen Pingjiang even joked about what the two had said at the time, but he found out in the evening.

After dinner, Yan Yan did not go back to the dormitory or home for the first time. Instead, she followed Chen Pingjiang to his home. Since having an extraordinary experience in the Maldives, Yan Yan would come here occasionally.

However, it was usually Chen Pingjiang who strongly requested it, and this was the first time that Yan Yan took the initiative.

After taking a shower and lying on the bed, Yan Yan blushed and whispered, "I'm going to take a shower."

Chen Pingjiang was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone bored. After a while, he saw Yan Yan push open the door and walk in wearing a bright red suspender pajamas.

Chen Pingjiang's eyes suddenly widened.

The Yan Yan in front of him was so attractive to men.

The lace pajamas were actually somewhat slim-fitting, highlighting Yan Yan's perfect figure, revealing her charming right-angled shoulders and a lot of white chest.

What Chen Pingjiang didn't expect was that Yan Yan was actually wearing a pair of red stockings.

After swallowing his saliva, Chen Pingjiang rushed forward.

after an hour.

"So, this is a beauty trap that Cao Jie asked you to use, right?" Chen Pingjiang looked at Yan Yan, who was hugging his arm tightly with her eyes closed like a cat, with a smile on her face.

There was still some lingering excitement on her face: "Well...she asked me to ask you to take a few technicians from Renren and start developing it first."

Chen Pingjiang laughed: "Is that all?"

"Ah."

…………

In early April, a piece of news spread in the industry.

Gan Jiawei, vice president of sales at Alibaba Group, nicknamed Forrest Gump, joined Meituan after Wang Xing visited him six times.

Chen Pingjiang frowned instinctively.

This is a talent. Chen Pingjiang once considered poaching him, but later he felt that he already had the Renren Iron Army, so was there a need to poach Gan Jiawei, who came from the Zhonggong Iron Army?

After all, Renrengou’s ground promotion is not weak.

The emergence of Chen Pingjiang did not change the inertia of history. Meituan only started to become more and more powerful after Gan Jiawei joined.

I have to say that Wang Xing made a good move.

Meituan’s strength lies in technology, but its marketing is weak. Gan Jiawei’s joining has made up for this shortcoming.

Gan Jiawei’s advantage lies in his rich experience in field promotion and operation.

Gan Jiawei joined Alibaba on February 2000, 2, with employee number 21. He started as a front-line salesperson and served as website operations director, marketing director, regional manager, regional general manager, vice president, etc. When Gan Jiawei was the vice president of Alibaba, the Alibaba B67B team had about 2 people, and he managed more than 1 people.

In March, WoWoTou used unconventional means to poach people from Meituan, and poached several people in succession. This caused the team to be very unstable and Wang Xing was very anxious.

On the other hand, Wang Xing’s previous entrepreneurial experience is no longer sufficient.

The companies he founded before had only a few dozen people at most and never more than a hundred, but now he has to manage thousands of people. He is not familiar with areas such as sales and customer service.

It was under such circumstances that Wang Xing spared no effort and spent a huge amount of money to poach Gan Jiawei.

The facts were not beyond Chen Pingjiang's expectations.

As soon as Gan Jiawei joined, he began to reorganize the ground-based sales team. He also used his connections to bring many people from Alibaba to Meituan, and gradually moved closer to Renrengou in terms of business direction.

In other words, Meituan has also started to promote its products to merchants.

4 month 27 day.

Meituan released a statement on its official Renren Weibo account, saying that it has sent a lawyer's letter to Renrengou headquarters in response to three recent incidents in which Renrengou employees beat up Meituan employees.

Meituan was also forced to do so. If any other Weibo account could have been more powerful, it would not have used Renren Weibo.

Isn't this just like filing a complaint on someone else's turf?
In just over ten days, there were several fights between the sales representatives of Renrengou and Meituan, the biggest of which even involved group fights.

As soon as Meituan’s statement came out, various media outlets were like crazy and began to report on it in a series of reports.

"Renrengou and Meituan's online competition has evolved into an offline 'fight'. Yes, they really hit each other."

"The local public security bureau has issued an administrative penalty decision to the Renrengou employees. The two were detained for 12 and 11 days respectively and fined RMB 500."

"Renrengou employee Zhang, together with others including Yang, "punched and kicked" Meiwan employee Gao, causing multiple injuries to his waist, head and shoulders."

"Meituan's Weibo account also revealed that on the same day, fights between employees also occurred in Zhenjiang and Xianning, and the local police are currently investigating."

"..."

Wen Yan, who was in charge of Weibo, asked Chen Pingjiang whether he wanted to delete Meituan’s account. Of course, Chen Pingjiang shook his head and refused.

If you delete your account at this time, doesn't it mean that you are guilty? It will also give people a bad impression of Renren Weibo.

Later in the day.

Renrengou’s official Weibo account also released a statement: “The bad guys filed the complaint first. It was clearly Meituan that started the attack!” and showed a photo of an employee with bruises on his shoulder.

Chen Pingjiang went directly to the local area, picked up the two employees who had been fighting, and rewarded them with 10,000 yuan in front of all the people who were buying promotional products.

"If you see anyone from Meituan and they dare to provoke you, just fight them. As long as nothing goes wrong, I'll take care of everything!"

This incident also means that the struggle between Renrengou and Meituan has reached a white-hot stage.

The situation changed so quickly that neither Lashou.com nor WoWotuan had time to react.

"Why didn't you fight me, but started a fight among yourselves?"
