Chapter 26, You don't want me to "cut you"
As the Spring Festival approaches, the occasional appearance of Chinese New Year elements on the streets of New York City makes Jiang Yiran feel a little more homesick.
In the luxurious Patek Philippe watch store, Jiang Yiran selected a very beautiful men's watch, and then, as usual, sent it by express to the Shandong Normal University campus in Qilu, China, and the recipient was the same as usual: "Jiang Hao".
Looking at the packaged express, Jiang Yiran sighed: "He should be on vacation now. He will have to wait until school starts to receive this New Year's gift."
Since the "Provincial Outstanding Youth New Year's Eve Dinner", Jiang Yiran has ushered in a new peak in her career. She got what she had always wanted, but her heart was empty.
When people think about someone they can't see, they always think he is better.
Especially if this person only leaves a hole in your heart and then disappears, the hole will get bigger and bigger.
So at that dinner, Jiang Hao, who had given her a new destiny, naturally occupied Jiang Yiran's empty heart.
"Ding!"
At this time, Jiang Yiran received a text message notification on her mobile phone. The New Year was approaching, and Jiang Yiran was full of anticipation, hoping that it was him sending her New Year's greetings, even if this New Year's greetings was sent to a group of people.
"Your account was deposited with RMB 1 at 6:13 on January 20, and the available balance is RMB 100000. PS: Don't buy clothes anymore!"
The tone of the postscript was as arrogant as ever.
"Oh, this kid made money!"
Seeing that the poor boy could transfer 10 yuan to her in such a short time, Jiang Yiran smiled slightly, and then quickly returned to normal.
She misses him.
As the Spring Festival approaches, Pinduoduo Trading Company has also completed its last business, with a balance of yuan in the company account;
At the same time, Pinduoduo now owns a Porsche 911 and an Audi RS6.
Zhou Tao was driving the Porsche 911 and Jiang Hao was driving the Audi RS6.
The remaining money is used to pay General Manager Jiang Hao a monthly salary of 15000 yuan and Deputy General Manager Zhou Tao a monthly salary of 10000 yuan.
Then there are various gas cards, car maintenance, travel, and business entertainment. As long as Jiang Hao and Zhou Tao can issue invoices for their consumption, the expenses can be reimbursed from the company.
The school has been on holiday for several days. Jiang Hao and Zhou Tao just finished their work today. After paying each of their roommates a salary of 15,000 yuan, Jiang Hao and Zhou Tao finally had some time to sit down.
At the Haidilao hotpot restaurant, Jiang Hao, Zhou Tao and Sha Feiyang, who had just had his winter vacation, three young men sat at a table.
In his previous life, Jiang Hao would always order half a portion of meat at Haidilao, and then grab the free snacks;
In his life, Jiang Hao ordered a table full of meat, every time in a whole portion, and never tried to get any free snacks.
Zhou Tao took a bite of meat, and then Jiang Hao said, "Haozi, there is something I have been thinking about for a long time."
Jiang Hao ate a piece of tripe and didn't care about Zhou Tao's thoughts. He just couldn't understand how Zhou Tao got the 30 million procurement project from Bo Ming Petrochemical!
And even if Zhou Tao could get it, why didn't he do it himself and have to give more than half to Jiang Hao?
Jiang Hao couldn't figure it out, but he always felt that there was something fishy going on, so even though Zhou Tao helped him make money, he still ignored Zhou Tao.
Zhou Tao didn't care about Jiang Hao's ugly face. After all, he was really guilty. He said, "Haozi, tell me, something that costs 100 yuan on the market only costs 60 yuan during our Spring Festival group purchase!"
"Why don't we keep running Pinduoduo? During the New Year and other holidays, we can continue to do group buying for enterprises and institutions. During normal times, we can do group buying for community groups!"
"We buy things for 60 yuan and sell them for 70 yuan. We make 10 yuan and the consumers spend 30 yuan less. That's fine!"
Jiang Hao didn't say anything. In his previous life, when he was a freshman and sophomore in college, he also dreamed of starting a business.
Especially now, in the prosperous early 2014, everyone is full of confidence, and there are myths of Internet wealth every day. However, Jiang Hao, who came back from 2024, no longer has such thoughts. He has become much more realistic.
Jiang Hao didn't say anything, and Zhou Tao didn't care. The business during the Spring Festival made him realize a lot. He sat in front of Jiang Hao and continued:
"And look, Haozi, I always feel that Alibaba is a little bit arrogant. Now that Taobao has started to crack down on counterfeit goods, why don't we follow Taobao's old path?"
Jiang Hao glanced at Zhou Tao. It was 2014 now, and Yu'e Bao was about to become a big hit. Boss Ma hadn't said he wanted to "kill the banks", right?
How can Zhou Tao tell that Ali is getting cocky?
Isn't this pure nonsense!
Zhou Tao continued: "Everyone is talking about consumption upgrading, consumption upgrading. What if one day consumption is downgraded?"
“And the low-end market will definitely always exist.”
“So I said, our Pinduoduo company will do e-commerce of cheap products online, and community group buying offline!”
After hearing Zhou Tao's words and then hearing "Pinduoduo", Jiang Hao was stunned. He looked at Zhou Tao and asked, "You don't want to cut it, do you?"
"What? What do you mean by cutting with a knife?" Zhou Tao asked Jiang Hao.
"Nothing." Jiang Hao shook his head. Although he didn't remember who the founder of Pinduoduo was, he knew it was definitely not Zhou Tao!
"No, no, no!" Facing Jiang Hao's indifferent expression, Zhou Tao asked seriously: "Haozi, no, no, no, Brother Hao, what do you mean by 'cutting with a knife'?"
When Jiang Hao just mentioned "cut with a knife", a trace of shock flashed across his eyes. This change in expression was captured by Zhou Tao, who immediately became nervous and took it seriously.
Zhou Tao's intuition told him that there must be something important behind Jiang Hao's words "cut it with a knife", so Zhou Tao immediately questioned Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao waved his hands helplessly. He didn't want to say too much to Zhou Tao. He just said, "I don't know. Anyway, don't send me links to Pinduoduo so that I can cut the price for you."
"Cut me with a knife?" Zhou Tao frowned, thought for a moment, and continued to ask: "Cut me with a knife?"
Jiang Hao thought about it and it seemed that the "cut it" was on WeChat. WeChat has not been fully promoted yet. QQ is the king of the world now. So he doesn't have to worry about Zhou Tao coming to him to "cut it".
After graduating from university and WeChat being widely used, Jiang Hao decided to block Zhou Tao directly!
"Wait, Haozi, when you say 'cut', do you mean 'bargain'?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Tao opened his eyes wide and stared at Jiang Hao and asked seriously.
Although he didn't get a positive answer from Jiang Hao, for Zhou Tao, everything was enough. Zhou Tao excitedly said to Jiang Hao: "Fuck, Haozi, you are so damn smart!"
"Through social software, they took advantage of the moral blackmail between people, sent links for bargaining, and then with the help of new members, it didn't take long for Pinduoduo to be promoted!"
"Haozi, let's do it!" Zhou Tao discussed with Jiang Hao with great anticipation.
Jiang Hao looked at Zhou Tao in shock. This guy is really smart. He can guess this. It seems that Zhou Tao was not so powerful in his previous life?
Looking at Zhou Tao's ambitious look, Jiang Hao felt that it was all over. He was not afraid that his son would spend a lot of money, but he was afraid that his son would want to start a business!
There are more than 2 million left in the company account, and they earn a little every year. Even if Jiang Hao and Zhou Tao spend it, they can't spend it all! Now I am afraid of the "ambitious" career!
The “cutting down the price” tactic is not only used by Pinduoduo, other companies also do it, but only Pinduoduo has succeeded!
Your name is not Pinduoduo, you are Pinduoduo!
Jiang Hao is not optimistic about Zhou Tao's ambition at all. Starting a business is not that easy!
For Jiang Hao, he has now completely solved the task of [saving money punching in] in the [attendance punching in system], and then he will work hard to punch in [exercise punching in] and [reading punching in] every month. When the system disappears, he can just lie back and relax!
Why bother working so hard!
Jiang Hao was anxious and said to Zhou Tao, "No! If you want to start a business, start your own company, don't take advantage of me!"
Then, Jiang Hao complained to Zhou Tao speechlessly: "Why do you always have to drag me along? You have a business, why don't you just start your own company?"
Zhou Tao, who was exposed, immediately became anxious and said to Jiang Hao: "How shameless! Who do you think you are? I don't want to hold you back anymore!"
Although Zhou Tao said this stubbornly, he didn't dare to do it himself if Jiang Hao disagreed.
