The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen and the four of them went to Taohuayuan in a car. When they arrived, they first went to their home and sat for a while. Zheng Huihong called and asked if they had arrived. Xiaofang said that they had arrived and we came over.

Lao Wan and Zheng Huihong's home is in the second phase of Taohuayuan. They are separated from Zhang Chen and others by a mountain col. It takes seven or eight minutes to walk. Fortunately, there are lush trees along the way. Although the sun has not set yet, there is no sunlight at all. On this road, coupled with the gentle breeze in the mountains, I didn't feel stuffy while walking.

Lao Wan was waiting for them at the fork in the road near their house. He smiled when he saw them approaching from a distance. There were no fences between the villas in Taohuayuan. They were all separated by roads and plants. Entering this fork in the road, as long as Lao Wan In case they are one family.

After entering the door, someone called "Mr. Zhang", but it was not Zheng Huihong, but a little girl wearing work clothes for "food and drink men and women".

Zheng Huihong heard the sound, came out, smiled and said to Zhang Chen and others:

"Lao Wan and I were so unsatisfied when cooking, so we called them 'Food and Drinking Men and Women'. Mr. Zhang, your 'Food and Drinking Men and Women's' are now very good. This little girl told me that today there are more than a dozen tables in Taohuayuan alone. .”

"Stealing our business." Tan Shuzhen and Zhang Chen joked, "Usually, when people here treat guests, they usually get takeout from our hotel, or go to the hotel restaurant to eat, but now they have become you 'food and drink men and women.' I want the security guard to You are not allowed to come in."

"There is a man who eats everything here." Liu Ligan said, "Lao Wan won't ask his hotel to deliver him. What can you do?"

Everyone laughed.

Zhang Chen walked to the kitchen to take a look. The chef sent here today was Du Tao's apprentice. Zhang Chen chatted with him for a few words. Zheng Huihong came in and asked, is it okay? Du Tao's apprentice said it was okay.

Everyone sat down, and the waiter served the food very quickly, because all the preliminary preparations had been done. The chef arrived here. The two gas stoves at home were used to stew and steam, and the camphor tea duck was roasted in the oven.

The single-head high-fire stove that I brought is mainly responsible for stir-frying. The firepower is very strong. The stir-frying time is less than half that of an ordinary household gas stove. After a while, a table of dishes was served. Zheng Huihong sighed. :

"I don't know, Mr. Zhang, my colleague recommended me to order it. It's so convenient. We would be exhausted from cooking a few dishes ourselves. After they came for a while, there was such a big table. Professionals are professionals. You can’t accept it.”

Zhang Chen teased her: "Zheng Huihong, what you said is so nice, do you want me to give you a discount? I don't have the authority. If you want a discount, you have to call Xiaoli."

Everyone laughed, and Zheng Huihong said: "I didn't even tell Xiaoli that this order was placed by me, and it was you who invited it. Otherwise, Xiaoli wouldn't have come over in person."

The waiter filled them with wine. Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan Laowan drank white wine, Zheng Huihong and Xiaofang drank red wine, and Tan Shuzhen drank drinks. It's not that she doesn't know how to drink, but she has been an actress for a long time and has some psychological problems with drinking. Although I have stopped being an actor, singing or practicing my voice for a long time now, I still feel guilty every time I pick up the wine.

I feel like I'm giving up on myself and feel sorry for my throat, so I try not to drink when I can. Since drinking doesn't bring pleasure, why drink?

Zheng Huihong picked up the wine glass and toasted everyone first. After putting down the glass, Zheng Huihong and Zhang Chen said:

"Mr. Zhang, Lao Wan and I have been with you since the beginning. You have been very helpful to us. I always feel very embarrassed about some recent things. Although there is no other way, it is all for work, but I think, I'm still offended, even Beibei may have opinions about me now, so I'd like to apologize to you first!"

Zhang Chen looked at Zheng Huihong and asked: "What do you mean, Zheng Huihong, do you think I am the kind of person with a chicken belly?"

"No, no, it's just that I can't live with it." Zheng Huihong said, "I told Lao Wan, and Lao Wan also told me to be measured, and I know it in my heart, but when I start working..."

Zheng Huihong looked at Xiaofang, and Xiaofang smiled and said, "It's okay, Sister Huihong. The people here are all people who don't recognize each other when they work. Everyone understands."

Tan Shuzhen patted Zheng Huihong's hand and said to her: "It's two different things. How do you say that?..."

"Each one is his own master, and it's normal for relatives not to recognize each other." Liu Ligan added, "Although this is a bit too bastard, let's just say that people are in the world and can't help themselves."

"That bastard called me countless times about this matter, and I was scolded by him countless times." Lao Wan said, "When I see the phone call from a bastard, I get a headache."

Zhang Chen and the others imagined that the bastard was holding the phone, and they didn't know how many "forced idiots" they would scold in one breath, so they couldn't help laughing. Zhang Chen said:

"Okay, let's not talk about work today, let's just drink."

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them. Zheng Huihong said:

"Mr. Zhang, this 'Eat for Men and Women' dish is so delicious and so convenient. My colleagues told me that you can't eat 'Eat for Men and Women'. If you get into it, you won't be able to quit it. The nanny at home has nothing to do. Let's take a look today. Really, from now on, whoever still cooks at home and can eat the dishes cooked by the nanny will definitely be called them."

"Don't just say nice things, give your opinions." Zhang Chen said.

"I have no objection, I just want to eat it," Zheng Huihong said.

Although they said they were not talking about work, what else could these people talk about when they were together? Soon, Lao Wan started talking about the project with Tan Shuzhen. Zheng Huihong, Xiaofang and Zhang Chen, whether intentionally or not, still talked about the project. Arrived at "Home Delivery".

Liu Ligan's company, and what he is doing now, although he has nothing to do with any of them, he is involved in everything. One moment he is chatting with Lao Wan and others about projects, and the next moment he is chatting with Zheng Huihong and others about "home delivery".

Zheng Huihong said to Zhang Chen Xiaofang seriously: "Although we are fighting fiercely now..."

Xiaofang interrupted Zheng Huihong half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"You were fighting fiercely, one move after another, but we didn't move. Do you see any action on our part? No, it was the same as it was before, and it's still the same now. Even you are buying high, selling low, and engaging in dumping. We are all There is no follow-up, but if you bully others too much, we will have to resist passively, but you are the one who provoked it."

"Well, I can't say anything about you, Xiaofang."

Zheng Huihong looked at Xiaofang and smiled:

"However, let me tell you one thing. Yesterday, Lao Ma also communicated with me. We still want to merge with 'Zhaixianshui', but we have adjusted our thinking. We don't want to participate in the shares, but want to completely merge and prepare for 'Every During this period of "Nissan", we also felt that this fresh food delivery company cannot do it if there are too many people who come up with ideas, so it must be done with single-minded focus."

"I think it's difficult for you to do what 'Zhai Xian Delivery' can do, so you just want to save trouble and eat us in one bite." Xiaofang was not polite and pushed back.

"Yes, you are right, but to be honest, there are other companies that cannot be merged by others. We are serious about it. If so, you should also seriously consider it." Zheng Huihong said.

"How much?" Liu Ligan asked, "How much does Ma Laoyao want to spend to buy 'Zhaixianshui'?"

Zheng Huihong hesitated and said, "Well, since there are no outsiders anyway, I can reveal that our internal assessment is 13.5 billion."

Liu Ligan made a sound: "I have bought it for 13.5 billion. I have pledged all the projects. I can also use this money to merge 'Zhaixianshui' and 'Renjia Travel'. There is no business conflict.”

"U.S. dollars, I mean 13.5 billion U.S. dollars." Zheng Huihong said.

"That's 90 billion yuan. This price is okay." Liu Ligan said, "You Ma Lao Yao are really rich."

"After completion, I am afraid it will be the largest merger case in the domestic Internet." Zheng Huihong said.

"Then your boss, Ma, is not Feng Qingyang, but Dongfang Bubai. He can dominate the world of fresh food delivery, right?" Xiaofang asked with a smile.

Zheng Huihong shook her head and said with a smile: "Xiaofang, when have you ever forgiven anyone with your mouth?"

Zheng Huihong then said to Zhang Chen: "Mr. Zhang, please think about it seriously."

Tan Shuzhen said: "Zheng Huihong, don't be picky. Knowing that Zhang Chen is easy to talk to, you still need to talk to Xiaofang and Liu Yun about the 'fresh delivery' matter."

"It's useless to talk to any of us. Beibei still has the final say on the 'Zhai Xian Delivery' matter. If he wants to sell it, we support it. If he doesn't want to sell it, we also support it." Xiaofang said, "Sister Huihong, are you really If you want to talk, you don’t have to look for anyone else, just look for Beibei.”

"Okay, I'll go find him again in a few days." Zheng Huihong said, "Beibei is still angry with me."

Zhang Chen got curious and asked, "Why is he angry with you?"

Zheng Huihong told them about her phone call with Zhang Xiangbei that night, and sighed: "Beibei still knows the general idea."

"He's not that petty." Tan Shuzhen said.

Xiaofang smiled and said nothing. Wu Huan told her about what happened that night. She also thought that Zhang Xiangbei did the right thing and thought deeply about things.

Lao Wan said: "That night, the second-rate guy actually called me and asked me to come over."

"Have you gone?" Liu Ligan asked.

"I went, but when I arrived, they had already withdrawn." Lao Wan said.

"What would you do if we didn't evacuate?" Liu Ligan continued to ask.

Lao Wan looked at Zheng Huihong and said, "There is no other way. We have no choice but to destroy the relationship out of justice."

Zheng Huihong looked at him angrily, the others laughed, and Liu Ligan said: "Yes, Lao Wan, you can still rely on me."

Back home, Xiaofang asked Zhang Chen: "Dear, tell me, when Zheng Huihong invited us in the evening, did she want to clear up the misunderstanding, or did she want to continue talking about the acquisition of 'Zhaixianshui'?"

"All of them." Zhang Chen said, "Lao Wan probably brought up the invitation to dinner. He didn't want everyone's relationship to be too tense. Although work is work and friends are friends, if there is any conflict at work, , feelings will still be hurt in the end, and it’s difficult for Lao Wan to do it in the middle. Treating us to this meal not only eases everyone’s tension, but also serves as a preventive measure.”

"You're right, you still know Lao Wan and Zheng Huihong." Xiaofang said.

"However, one thing is certain, that is, as long as we and Beibei do not bite the bullet and there is no acquisition negotiation, Daily Fresh will not expand in other cities." Zhang Chen said.

"How do you know?" Xiaofang asked curiously.

"Think about it, 'Daixianxian' and 'Zhaixianshui' are two companies that completely overlap in business model and scope. If Mr. Ma decides to acquire 'Zhaixianshui', will he continue to expand?" That would be an ineffective investment. After the merger, even how to deal with personnel will be a problem."

Xiaofang thought about Zhang Chen's words and it made sense. Unless he was out of his mind, he would waste so much money. While he wanted to acquire "Zhaixianshui", he continued to expand "Daily Fresh". Once the acquisition was successful, the two When two companies merge into one, there will be thousands of redundant personnel in each city. Demobilization and resettlement will indeed be a big trouble.

"Then you tell me, why did they launch 'Daily Fresh' in Hangzhou and Shanghai again?" Xiaofang asked. After the merger, Hangzhou and Shanghai will also have overlap.

"This is the minimum price." Zhang Chen said with a smile, "Teacher Ma is using war to promote reunification. If I guessed correctly, Zheng Huihong not only found you, I think she must also have found Liu Yun, Xiaohu and Zhang Xiangbei, it turned out that it was impossible to easily acquire 'Zhai Xianshui', that's why we took this trick, and it was so ruthless when we first made it, which made us feel the crisis and pressure.

"We feel the pressure from them and are a little scared. If they make an acquisition proposal at this time, we feel that the possibility of us accepting it will be greatly increased."

"Zheng Huihong hasn't looked for you?" Xiaofang asked.

"No."

"Why?"

"She knows me well and knows that as long as you agree, I will definitely have no objections and I can be ignored." Zhang Chen said with a smile, "But think about it, since they are promoting reunification through war, then they will be in Hangzhou Chengdu and Shanghai will continue to take action and will not reduce the pressure on us."

Zhang Chen said, Xiaofang nodded thoughtfully.
