Chapter 346 Vigorous promotion! Sell on margin!
"The third step is called rewards, which is to give users constant rewards to stimulate them to keep using our products."
"The so-called reward is that users can get additional satisfaction when using the product and meeting their own needs."
"To this end, we will launch Chentao bonus, which can be used as a discount when paying for a taxi. Chentao Travel will issue some bonuses regularly. When using it, you can choose a discount method and combine the bonus with cash to reduce payment costs. At the same time, the bonus can also be reflected!”
"Of course, you don't have to worry about this. We at Chentao Travel will cooperate with the soon-to-be-launched Paypay and Weixin Pay!"
“The last step, investment, is to continuously invest time and energy in the process of using the product, increase the adhesion between users and the product, and encourage users to become addicted to the product.”
"For example, playing games consumes time. The longer you play, the harder it becomes to stop playing. Completed tasks in the game will stimulate players to do other tasks in the game."
"Another example is that after using a note-taking software for a period of time, the stored data is not willing to be discarded, and the user will continue to use this software."
“This needs to be accomplished by all of us!”
"I believe that as long as we unite as one, Chentao Travel will become the best travel service platform in the world!"
After speaking eloquently, Bai Mengchen stopped and let Zhu Shijing and others digest it.
After a while, Bai Mengchen asked CTO and product manager Zhang Bo:
"Mr. Zhang, how is the development of Chentao's taxi-hailing software going? How soon can it be completed?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Bo immediately put down the pen in his hand and replied respectfully:
"Mr. Bai, our technical department is stepping up software research and development. The progress is almost halfway. I guarantee that the taxi-hailing software will be developed before the end of this month!"
"Well, the taxi-hailing software is the most important thing for the company right now, and your technical department must get it done before next month!"
"Otherwise, it will greatly delay the company's subsequent deployment and development!"
Bai Mengchen nodded, with a serious look on his face, telling Zhang Bo to hurry up on research and development.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Bo stood up immediately, nodded heavily and said:
"Yes! Mr. Bai, don't worry, we will definitely get it done before the end of the month!"
Hearing Zhang Bo's assurance, Bai Mengchen smiled with satisfaction, then turned his eyes to President Zhu Shijing and said:
"Mr. Zhu, how was the market research?"
"Mr. Bai, we have investigated everything clearly. Currently, there is only one taxi-hailing platform company established in Beijing, called Xiaoju Technology. Their driver terminal has just been launched in Beijing, but there has been no big response."
"According to our investigation, we found that this small company, which was just founded last year, has a development strategy that highly overlaps with ours, but due to a shortage of funds, its development is not going smoothly."
Zhu Shijing immediately stood up and reported the results of his investigation to Bai Mengchen respectfully.
"Xiaoju Technology?"
Bai Mengchen frowned slightly. She had heard of this name because Xu Litao told her to pay attention to this company before. She even jokingly said with a smile that if Bai Mengchen hadn't founded Chentao Travel, this company would be the future Longguo online car-hailing company. Leader of a group.
It is enough to see that Xu Litao attaches great importance to it.
However, Xu Litao did not tell Bai Mengchen how to deal with this company, because he wanted to leave this matter to Bai Mengchen to practice.
Bai Mengchen pondered for a moment, then asked Zhu Shijing seriously:
"Mr. Zhu, what do you think of this company?"
When Zhu Shijing heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He was a little surprised that Bai Mengchen cared so much about this small company. After thinking about it, he said:
"Mr. Bai, many of the development strategies of this company are in line with ours. I think the founder of this small company is a talented person. If this small company can be acquired and merged into the company, it will definitely make the company go further."
"Haha, of course, our company has a strong background. We can crush him all the way without causing any trouble."
Zhu Shijing did not give Bai Mengchen direct advice, but gave her the right to choose. He always kept in mind the attitude a subordinate should have and did not taint the decision-making power of the leader.
Bai Mengchen thought carefully and then said:
"Then buy this company directly!"
"Mr. Zhu, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Don't worry, Mr. Bai, I will definitely do this well!"
Zhu Shijing promised with an excited expression that this was a good opportunity to perform, and naturally he couldn't screw it up.
Bai Mengchen smiled and nodded, then looked at Liu Qing, the company's chief operating officer.
"Mr. Liu, how is the progress of various tasks in the company?"
"Mr. Bai, at present, all departments of the company have been completed and the manpower is fully staffed... In addition, we have also reached cooperation with the Traffic Management Bureau, and they will assess the online ride-hailing drivers."
“Now all we need is the taxi-hailing software, and our company can start to flex its muscles!”
Liu Qing has a beautiful face and is a thirty-year-old business elite. When she heard Bai Mengchen's question, she immediately answered excitedly.
"very good!"
Bai Mengchen smiled with great satisfaction, and then said energetically:
"Mr. Liu, we can vigorously promote it next!"
"As we said before, those who intend to become Chentao Travel's online car-hailing drivers can take the Traffic Management Bureau exam, and the unlimited new energy vehicles that Chentao Travel uses uniformly can be purchased with interest-free loans!"
"Yes! Mr. Bai! I'll start making arrangements right away!"
……
In the next few days, advertisements for Chentao Travel were scattered all over the country like snowflakes, and people who saw them had different thoughts.
The older generation is not interested in taxi companies. They treat it as a novelty and forget about it after a few small talk after dinner.
Domestic taxi drivers even sneered. In their view, with the taxi industry, Chentao Travel's launch of online taxi services was completely unnecessary.
Nowadays, people are accustomed to taking taxis. Where will this online car-hailing service be accepted?
What's more, becoming an online ride-hailing driver is so troublesome. Not only do you need to take a test, but you also have to buy an unlimited new energy vehicle, although interest-free loans are available.
But a new energy vehicle costs hundreds of thousands!
Only fools would do such a thing!
However, they sneered at it, but many young people were very interested.
They have all experienced the difficulty of taking a taxi. It would be extremely convenient if they could hand over a car with a mobile phone in the future.
Moreover, becoming an online ride-hailing driver for Chentao Travel not only provides low commissions, but also provides five insurances and one housing fund. You can also buy an unlimited new energy vehicle with an interest-free loan.
Although the examination is a bit cumbersome, it is not difficult for them, as long as they read a few more questions.
If you work hard, you can pay off the loan in just a few years. Not only will the car be yours, but you will also be able to earn as much as you want.
Ever since, a wave of testing for online ride-hailing qualification certificates has swept across the country.
At the same time, Xu Litao has also raised funds, up to 3 trillion yuan, of which Chentao Investment has invested 1 trillion yuan, and the rest is from investors such as Wang Jianlin and Ma Huateng.
Funds have been raised for several days, but Xu Litao still has not taken any action. He is waiting for the results from Tan Cheng.
On this day, the court sentenced Jacquin and others. Jacquin took everything on himself, the mastermind and the culprit, and was directly sentenced to twenty years in prison.
As for Anne, Blunt, Zhou Feiyang, Liu Hu and others, they were all sentenced to more or less several years in prison.
After reading the news report, Xu Litao closed the page with a normal expression. These were just minions, and there was no sense of accomplishment in dealing with them.
Not taking this matter to heart, Xu Litao continued to type quickly on the keyboard with both hands.
“Da da da da da…”
Lines of code appear on the computer like a swipe of the screen, barely visible to the naked eye.
This is Xu Litao writing artificial intelligence, and now this work has progressed to about 10%.
The reason why it was so fast was that during this period, in addition to raising funds, Xu Litao was sitting in his study writing programs.
The study was very quiet, except for the sound of the keyboard. Bai Mengchen also went to the company to be busy with work, so no one disturbed Xu Litao.
Just as Xu Litao was concentrating on writing code, his mobile phone on the table rang.
"Once upon a time, when I first met this world, I lingered for a long time, looking at the horizon that seemed to be in front of my eyes, and I was willing to go through fire and water to see it again..."
Xu Litao paused, looked at Tan Cheng's call, answered it directly, and continued to type on the keyboard with both hands.
"Hey?"
"Director Xu! The results are out!"
On the phone, Tan Cheng shouted excitedly.
"Haha! It's exactly what you said, Mr. Xu. After our detailed testing of these drugs, we found various problems!"
"The most serious one even detected asbestos! This is a first-level carcinogen!"
"Qiangsheng is going to die this time!"
Tan Cheng said loudly and gloated.
In response, Xu Litao just smiled indifferently. The matter was within his expectation, so he said:
"Well, you've done something wrong to yourself! You won't be able to stay strong for much longer!"
"Mr. Tan, what do you do next..."
"Remember, problematic drugs are being spread out one by one. Don't push them out all at once. We have to slowly cut off the strong ones!"
"Haha! Dong Xu, don't worry, I will do everything you tell me!"
"Okay, wait until I notify you."
Xu Litao smiled slightly, ended the call, and then called Zhou Run and Lin Yuhan who were far away in Chou Country.
"The plan can begin!"
"Yes! Boss!"
……
Zhou Run hung up Xu Litao's call excitedly and looked at Yuhan Lin beside him.
"Haha! It's finally starting!"
“After staying in Chou Country for a few days, I’m already anxious!”
Lin Yuhan stood up excitedly, gearing up for a big fight.
Zhou Run was almost the same as him and said with excitement:
"Old Lin, follow the plan. You take people to JPMorgan Chase, and I will go to Goldman Sachs, and then borrow the stocks of Qiangsheng Pharmaceutical Group and sell them on securities!"
In the stock market, going short is the opposite of going long.
The so-called long position means that we think a certain stock is good, so we buy it and wait for it to rise, and then profit from the increase; while short selling is just the opposite, that is, we feel that a company is not good, so we sell it, and then profit from its decline.
However, Chentao Investment Group wants to short Qiangsheng Pharmaceuticals, but does not have their stocks on hand.
Therefore, we can only borrow stocks from securities companies that have Qiangsheng Pharmaceutical stocks on the market and sell them. Of course, this requires paying a certain amount of interest.
And this operation method is called securities lending and selling.
Neither Zhou Run nor Lin Yuhan are pushovers. After the discussion, they immediately gathered their people and set out for the two securities companies.
……
Goldman Sachs Group is a group headquartered in Niyue, U.S.A., with investment as its main business.
As one of the oldest and largest investment banks in the world, it has extensive experience in the industry and has a high reputation in the market with its stable operating methods.
Looking at the high-rise buildings in front of him, Zhou Run looked dazed and sighed in his heart.
"Goldman Sachs! I, Zhou Run, am back!"
But not as a subordinate employee, but as an equal collaborator!
Zhou Run was quite unhappy at Goldman Sachs before. He was framed by Thomson and was thrown out of the company. Fortunately, he was lucky and met Xu Litao, who valued him and was promised an important position.
He also vented his anger and retaliated against Goldman Sachs, asking Goldman Sachs to fire Thomson.
Zhou Run exhaled, dispersed his racing thoughts, and led his subordinates into the building.
"Welcome to Goldman Sachs Group! May I ask..."
"Ah! It's you, Manager Zhou!"
The young lady at the front desk smiled and said hello. When she saw who was coming, she immediately shouted in surprise.
When Zhou Run saw an acquaintance, a smile appeared on his stern face, and he greeted cordially:
"Haha, it's Vivian, are you still at the front desk?"
"Also, don't call me manager, I'm no longer from Goldman Sachs!"
Only then did Vivian remember it, and said with a bright smile:
"Sorry, Mr. Zhou, I forgot!"
"I have been transferred to the front desk supervisor, but a staff member is on temporary leave today. I will come over and replace her."
Vivian said, looking at Zhou Run and the others, and asked curiously:
"Mr. Zhou, what do you want here?"
Vivian remembered that Zhou Run was now the president of Longguo Chentao Investment Group. In the past few years, this company had been in the limelight and its development was even faster.
It is now the leading investment group in Asia. Although it is not as good as Goldman Sachs and other long-established investment groups, it is not much different.
According to estimates by industry insiders, within five years at most, Chentao Investment Group will be on top of all investment companies.
Zhou Run smiled slightly and continued:
"Of course we are here to discuss business. Please help me contact your President Lord and tell him that I want to make a big deal with him!"
Naturally, Vivian would not refuse and contacted Laald readily.
Over there, when Lauder heard Vivian's report, he was a little confused. Why did Chen Tao Investment suddenly come over to discuss business?
Laald, who couldn't think of anything, thought for a moment and agreed to meet with Zhou Run.
Although the two companies were a little unhappy because of the last short selling of gold, this is the case in the business world. There are no permanent friends and no permanent rivals.
As long as benefits can be obtained, even enemies can cooperate for a short period of time and achieve win-win results.
Soon, Lauder and Zhou Run met in the conference room.
When the two met again, the relationship was no longer that of superiors and subordinates, but that of collaborators. It was a little awkward at first, but after some business exchanges, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
Seeing that the pleasantries had been going on for so long, Laald became a little impatient and asked with a smile:
"Zhou, I wonder what kind of business you want to discuss?"
Seeing Lauder speak first, Zhou Run smiled slightly. If the other party spoke, he would take the initiative.
So he said calmly and calmly:
“We at Chentao Investment are ready to short Qiangsheng Pharmaceutical!”
"What?!!"
