Chapter 580: Boss Bao Is Stunned

Chapter 573 Boss Bao was confused

[Youqu] has officially entered the APP free list, which is undoubtedly exciting news.

Since there has been no additional publicity recently, the growth rates of various data are relatively stable.

The free APP list for 2015 is actually quite good.

If nothing else, the ranking should still rise, and it will not be limited to 88th place.

There have been several cheers throughout [Youqu].

Everyone’s enthusiasm for work is also at an all-time high!

"No wonder many people say that even if you are working part-time, it is important to work with the right person!"

"We didn't do anything. The project became popular thanks to the boss's own enthusiasm!"

When they look at Mr. Cheng now, they are actually a bit like looking at their own Mr. Lei for the future sales of Xiaomi cars.

This flying belt makes everyone in my class feel a little embarrassed!

After ending the call with Zhang Yi, Cheng Zhu felt somewhat satisfied.

"It feels like it won't be long before [Youqu] will be able to stay in the top 50 free apps." Cheng Zhu thought to himself.

This was already a bit beyond his expectations.

15 years is for settling, but if the foundation is laid well enough, the advantage will be even greater in 16 years!

"Sixteen years, that was the great era of the Internet." Cheng Zhu thought to himself.

The high-profile live broadcast industry has made a splash this year, and fields such as short videos have also been developing steadily in secret.

There are two main reasons why this year is called the Internet Era.

The first point is definitely that the penetration rate of smart phones has reached a certain height.

Affordable smartphones are getting better and better, allowing many ordinary people who don’t have enough money to own a smartphone.

The second point is because the 3G era has entered the 4G era.

The three major operators have all carried out a wave of price cuts, and driven by a certain opportunity, they have launched 4G traffic. If it is not used up in the month, it will not be automatically cleared.

The fee reduction and growth rate have given many APPs better room for development.

Especially those apps that have certain requirements on traffic, network speed, etc.

Therefore, Cheng Zhu is very clear that next year is destined to be a magnificent year for the Internet industry!

"Just thinking about it, I feel a little excited?" he thought to himself.

Half an hour later, Cheng Zhu's cell phone rang again, and this time the call was actually from Wang Ping'an.

"Hey, what's going on?" Cheng Zhu asked.

"Brother Zhu, I'm just here to tell you about the data. [Insist on visiting] e-commerce sales have been increasing recently. I think [Youqu] is quite popular today. Do you want to operate it appropriately?" he asked.

"Okay." Cheng Zhu replied.

After [Youqu] goes online, it can drive the sales of [Stick to Visit] QQ underwear to a certain extent.

The reason is very simple. Many marginal bloggers will directly wear the products of "Insist on Visiting" in their dance videos.

For example, stepmother skirt, Spider-Man tights, gray turtleneck backless sweater, etc.

Wearing these clothes to dance will make the visual impact much stronger.

It just so happens that they are all within the scale range, at least some angles are within the scale range.

Take the gray turtleneck backless sweater as an example. You cannot dance on the back. Unless you wear an inner layer underneath, the upper half of your butt will be exposed.

But from the front, it's still full of pure lust.

Nowadays, isn't the event "Looking for the Ceiling of Pure Desire" being held? Many people regard it as a shirt and wear it to fight!

This has also made these classic models of "Keep Visiting" regain their popularity.

On the phone, Wang Ping'an curiously asked: "Brother Zhu, if you wear the clothes in our store, will [Youqu] get more traffic?"

"Haha, you are overthinking, not really." Cheng Zhu immediately denied it.

"ah?"

"However, I guess many people wear these shirts with this little thought in mind." Cheng Zhu directly pointed out the mentality of a group of people.

[Youqu] The current distribution model has tended to treat everyone equally.

At the beginning, I would deliberately stream technical videos and other types of videos, but now I don’t need to, because the momentum has been picked up, many high-quality hits have been produced, and everyone’s enthusiasm for entrepreneurship is very high.

However, many creators don't think so. They subconsciously feel that wearing the boss's clothes will definitely have hidden benefits.

From Cheng Zhu's perspective, he was also happy to see the results.

To be honest, many styles of [Insist on Visiting] are indeed very suitable for shooting short videos.

Because some of them are popular on Douyin, Cheng Zhu directly copied them.

Put on these shirts, and then twist your waist, all kinds of styles will come to you instantly.

With the help of filters, beautification, special effects such as long legs and slim waist, each of them has a perfect figure, which makes the old perverts want to squirt just by looking at them.

Like a slit stepmother skirt, every time you twist your waist, the slit in the skirt is at the extreme position of the thigh.

The old perverts were so shaken when they saw it!

At this moment, Cheng Zhu thought for a while and said, "Just do some regular marketing over there."

"Okay." Wang Ping'an responded.

Cheng Zhu definitely has a way to boost sales of [Insist on Visiting], but he feels it's not the right time yet.

[Youqu] hasn't gotten up yet, so there's no need to serve some hot dishes in such a hurry.

"Let's make some appetizers first." He said in his heart.

He still has many tricks up his sleeve, so he is not in a hurry.

As the news of [Dianping]'s financing was released, the Polytechnic University was once again surrounded by media reporters.

Obviously, it was a wise decision for Cheng Zhu to stay in Shanghai for a few days.

What Cheng Zhu found most funny was that his three roommates in dormitory 309 actually accepted interviews this time.

This made their four-person dormitory group very lively.

Obviously, the three of them were all in the dormitory, but they were all holding their phones and chatting with Cheng Zhu in the group.

The three adopted sons did not talk to each other, but only typed with each other in the group.

Liu Feng said: "Brother Zhu, we praised you very much when we faced the reporters."

"Do I need to praise you?" Cheng Zhu was dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes, I repeated all your glorious achievements truthfully." Liu Feng was still as good as always.

The cold and fat old Zheng Qingfeng was as quiet as always, but he would always say something out of the blue.

At this moment, he said in the group: "Brother Zhu, I report Dong Dong for taking the opportunity to show off."

"Damn it! Old Zheng, I'm going to beat you up!" Dong Dong typed in the group.

Cheng Zhu was puzzled. You are in the same dormitory, why don't you just fight directly?

Do you have to inform your father in the group before fighting?

After joking with the three adopted sons in the group for a while, Cheng Zhu thought that the school leaders should be very happy, right?

In the whole city of Hangzhou, there should be no other college students who are better at making things happen than me.

"In the future, my photo should be printed on the enrollment brochure of the University of Science and Technology!" Cheng Bi Wang thought.

The series of chain reactions caused by the financing of [Dianping] have just begun at this moment.

The person in charge of [Baidu Takeaway] headquarters, Gong Zhenbin, immediately convened a high-level meeting.

Recently, he felt that he was about to reach the highest level of "ruling by doing nothing"!

During this period, [Baidu Takeaway] can be said to have not made any big moves.

The reason is very simple.

High emotional intelligence: ruling by doing nothing.

Low EQ: Dare not move.

Gong Zhenbin couldn't figure out whether he was "carried away by public opinion" recently?

"Didn't they say that [Dianping] would merge with [Mi Tuan] some time ago?"

"This news came from Zhang Tao."

"It scared Baidu so much that they lost their fighting spirit instantly. A group of people shouted that they might as well do artificial intelligence!"

At that moment, Gong Zhenbin had a sense that the situation was over.

As the person in charge of [Baidu Takeaway], he knew that Baidu, as one of the three giants of BAT, was actually very complicated.

When the voices of "it's better to do artificial intelligence" became louder and louder, a certain effect had already been produced.

Even if everyone later learned that [Dianping] and [Mi Tuan] seemed not to merge for the time being, internal opinions had already diverged.

Especially those who wanted to focus on artificial intelligence.

This made Gong Zhenbin say in his heart: "When did Zhang Tao become so dirty?"

Damn, only Wang Xin was so dirty before!

He didn't know whether Zhang Tao did it intentionally or unintentionally. In short, this move could cause tons of damage to Baidu, which has many factions.

However, the subsequent development of the situation made Gong Zhenbin doubt his life even more.

Zhang Tao just leaked the news that [Dianping] and [Mi Tuan] were going to merge, but after just a few days, they suddenly started fighting and started to burn money like crazy!

At first, everyone thought that this was the "final competition" and it wouldn't be long before Taozi and Lao Wang would sit at the negotiation table.

This made the voices about all-in artificial intelligence in Baidu even louder.

The final result was that everyone watched this "final competition" last for more than a month!

"Damn, Zhang Tao is even dirtier than I thought!?" Gong Zhenbin was shocked.

He felt like he was meeting this person for the first time.

It completely refreshed his inherent impression of Taozi.

As for the hot-blooded Haoge, he had already started to charge violently, his eyes were red with killing.

[Dianping] took [Are you hungry] to fight [Mi Tuan], and asked Gong Zhenbin if he dared to move?

For Gong Zhenbin, the past month has been like a year.

He watched the market share decline every day, but he was powerless.

"Such days should come to an end, right?" Gong Zhenbin thought a month later.

Hey, who would have thought that the moneyless [Dianping] would raise funds again!

Damn, looking at this posture, it still has to burn!

This once again refreshed his understanding of Zhang Tao.

Dirty and bold, what's going on?

Baidu's entry into the O2O field itself is to grasp both group buying and takeaway.

Now the market is in chaos, and the big brother and the second brother in the two fields seem to be fighting a life-and-death battle. He, the third brother, is simply a fish in the pond.

Baidu is now taking a wait-and-see attitude.

Let's see if there is a chance to steal peaches in the end.

When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.

This phenomenon also happens from time to time in business wars.

——Go for a while!

What Gong Zhenbin feels most excited about is the news that [Mi Tuan] cannot get the next round of financing, which has been very popular in recent days!

This scene seems familiar to Cheng Zhu.

And Mi Tuan's approach is similar to that of the previous life, directly suing the person who spread the news.

Anyway, just hold on and sue!

Don't ask, just ask whether you can raise money!

Old Wang, who was struggling to make ends meet, started running around again, and his already sparse hair became even thinner.

So much so that he was so angry that he simply shaved his head to emulate Bao Lao Da!

In this trillion-dollar O2O market, a young man who was still in college directly reversed the situation and led everything to an unknown route.

In desperation, Wang Xin, who was desperate, could only bite the bullet and go to Alibaba.

He had actually been there once before.

But everyone ended up parting on bad terms.

The conditions proposed by Alibaba were extremely harsh. In the past, that would definitely have touched Wang Xin's bottom line!

As mentioned before, Penguin's shareholding in [Dianping] was as high as 20%, which was higher than Alibaba's shareholding in [Mi Tuan].

This would also give Penguin an advantage after the merger of the two.

Alibaba is now doing two things. On the one hand, the next time it raises funds, the shareholding must reach 25%, and on the other hand, it is the old way, and senior executives will be airborne.

Good job, Wang Xin. Everyone says you are "Little Jack Ma", but you are uncontrollable!

If we don't send someone to watch you, we will have trouble sleeping and eating!

For Wang Xin, this will undoubtedly lead [Mi Tuan] to a predetermined end, becoming exactly the same as other companies invested by Alibaba.

But now he has no choice.

Either die immediately or die slowly.

The latter can still struggle a little longer, and maybe they can seize a good opportunity and complete a wave of operations?

In the final analysis, [Dianping] and [Are You Hungry] are not as good as me in their paths, and their competitiveness is always not as strong as mine!

So, Lao Wang, who has already accepted his fate, went to Alibaba this time, not secretly, but in a high-profile manner, and it was soon exposed by the media.

Not to mention, in this report, there is a sense of reconciliation and reconciliation.

This made Gong Zhenbin's hanging heart completely dead!

[Baidu Takeout] immediately convened a high-level meeting, it is urgent!

At the meeting, Gong Zhenbin clearly pointed out: "From the current situation, [Mi Tuan] will soon get financing, and if nothing unexpected happens, the amount of financing this time will be an unprecedented number."

"Wang Xin will have to pay a great price to apologize this time, and the only thing he can fight for is this amount." Gong Zhenbin is very clear about this.

"In other words, the money-burning war between [Dianping], [Ele.me], and [Mi Tuan] is likely to be protracted!"

"It may even become the final decisive battle in the O2O field!" Gong Zhenbin's voice sank, and the atmosphere in the entire conference room was extremely solemn.

Many people began to feel confused.

Although our Baidu CEO Li has said that he will take out 20 billion to do O2O well.

However, will there really be 20 billion thrown in in advance for the decisive battle?

If there is, why are you so nervous about the meeting?

Just do it without thinking!

This meeting lasted a full hour.

Sometimes the whole audience was silent, and sometimes loud voices were heard.

But in the end, nothing was discussed.

Gong Zhenbin didn't know what to do for a moment.

He estimated that it was the same for Mr. Li.

"How did things develop into this?" Gong Zhenbin couldn't figure it out.

The person in charge of [Baidu Takeout] never dreamed that everything was because of Cheng Zhu, whom he had never even met.

At this moment, Cheng Zhu's mentality was completely different from his.

"Wang Xin finally went to Alibaba to 'seek reconciliation'." He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Very good! The time is ripe, and we can start the next step."

Shanghai, Huaxing Capital.

Boss Bao was sitting in his office, just finished an interview with the American financial magazine "Bloomberg Markets".

"Bloomberg Markets" is expected to announce the fifth global financial 50 most influential people in a few days.

Bao Fan will also be among them.

If he follows the normal trajectory, he will rank 22nd on the global list.

But now that the merger of [Mi Tuan] and [Dianping] has failed, whether its ranking will decline as a result is unknown.

It is worth mentioning that the second person on the list is the one with the most special status in China.

After accepting the interview with Bloomberg Markets, Bao Fan stood in front of the French window of his office with his hands in his pockets, overlooking the Magic City.

Even he was a little excited at the moment.

A man who can stand at his height basically has no regrets in his life!

Regarding the merger of [Mi Tuan] and [Dianping], Bao Fan felt that there would be opportunities in the future.

Because this is the inevitable result after the gradual decline of the group buying market, it is the general trend.

But. Not now!

"There is definitely no possibility in the near future." Bao Fan thought.

Zhang Tao now can be said to be unprecedentedly strong!

Even Bao Fan felt that he was like a different person.

"Obviously, his ambition is growing."

At this moment, Cong Lin, President of Huaxing Capital Group, and Du Yongbo, Managing Director, knocked on the door and walked in.

The two of them are now in charge of an IPO project, so they came to Bao Fan to talk.

As a result, halfway through the conversation, Bao Fan's phone rang.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the phone on the table. When the three saw the name of the caller, they were all stunned.

"Cheng Zhu?" Question marks began to appear in their minds.

Cong Lin and Du Yongbo are both considered core figures of Huaxing Capital.

So, they have all heard Bao Fan mention this young man.

Sometimes, when Wang Xin came to Huaxing Capital to find Bao Fan, the two of them would sit on the side and chat together.

In the conversations between Bao Lao Da and Lao Wang, they also frequently heard about Cheng Zhu.

Moreover, as a member of Huaxing Capital, how could they not have heard of this college student who was so arrogant that he said he wanted to be their client before the APP was even launched?

"Why did Cheng Zhu call me?" Bao Fan frowned slightly, with a hint of puzzlement in his tone.

He smiled and looked at his right-hand man, and said, "This young man is very interesting. I'll turn on the speakerphone for you to listen."

Bao Fan picked up the phone and turned on the speakerphone.

Cheng Zhu's low voice soon came from the phone: "Hello, Mr. Bao."

"Well, I'm listening. It's so rare that you call me?"

"Alas, it does mean that you don't come to the temple for no reason, haha." Cheng Zhu said directly.

"Oh? Then tell me what it is." Bao Fan raised his eyes and looked at Cong Lin and Du Yongbo.

"I want to ask, can Huaxing still accept M&A projects now?" Cheng Zhu asked.

As soon as this was said, Cong Lin and Du Yongbo's eyes froze instantly.

Damn, one of the best M&A this year, it was not fucking ruined by you!

Bao Fan looked normal, just replied: "Tell me, which two companies are they."

Cheng Zhu's answer made the office fall into a brief silence.

"[Are you hungry] and [Baidu Takeaway]." Cheng Zhu said.

This time, even Boss Bao was silenced.

After a few seconds, he said: "Let me think about it."

"Okay, I think I can only find you in China for this matter, so I'll wait for Boss Bao's reply." Cheng Zhu shouted affectionately.

After the call ended, Cong Lin and Du Yongbo couldn't help it instantly.

"Boss, what does this kid mean?" Du Yongbo was furious.

Cong Lin also frowned: "Even if we have to make this call, it should be Zhang Xuhao who calls!"

The two of them talked back and forth, both of them were extremely dissatisfied with Cheng Zhu, and they never stopped talking.

After a long while, Bao Fan slammed the table.

Boss Bao: "Stop arguing! I'm thinking!"
