Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 173: Prepared, sneak attack
Just when Huang Zheng had finished enjoying Zhou Dongsheng's flattery and was about to interrupt Zhou Dongsheng and send him away, Zhou Dongsheng slowly said something.
"Also, the 'promoting good products' model has opened up a possibility different from traditional e-commerce, that is, social e-commerce. The social e-commerce model plus Mr. Huang is the key to rewriting the e-commerce landscape in my opinion."
The four words "social e-commerce" were like a sharp sword that suddenly broke through the fog in front of Huang Zheng's eyes, making Huang Zheng's eyes brighten up, as if he had seen a fellow traveler.
Prior to this, Huang Zheng’s positioning of the “promoting good products” model was just another change of direction for exploring the e-commerce field. However, Zhou Dongsheng’s four words were like a wake-up call!
Social e-commerce!
"Now, Mr. Huang, could you please do me the honor of having a meal with us so we can continue our conversation?" Zhou Dongsheng smiled brightly.
"Mr. Zhou, you are too polite. Naturally, I have to host this meal. Let's go to another place." The two men smiled at each other, with a sense of mutual admiration. Huang Zheng couldn't wait to have further conversation.
Lu Sifang was dumbfounded. Is this a deal? Why is the boss so young but so skilled at flattering others?
Li Jiana listened carefully the whole time, trying to understand and absorb the key information of the conversation between the two bosses. She seemed to understand it, but when she saw Huang Zheng so excited, she realized that her boss' words had worked.
She couldn't help but smile slightly, revealing two deep dimples, and her inner opinion of Zhou Dongsheng was elevated a lot.
Talent and wealth, a man often only needs to have one of them to stand out from the crowd. If he has both, the effect of 1+1 is greater than 2.
If you add to that his youthful and handsome appearance... he is a definitely high-quality human male. Under the premise that opposites attract, he is naturally very attractive to women.
As you get to know each other better, this attraction will gradually grow...
After Zhou Dongsheng and Huang Zheng had a pleasant conversation, they prepared to move to the dinner table for further discussion. After all, "food is the first necessity of the people" is one of the deeply rooted ideas of the Chinese people.
Perhaps this is also one of the main reasons why everyone is keen on discussing business at the dinner table. After all, nothing is bigger than the sky.
Huang Zheng also invited a woman who seemed to be a bit taciturn to the meal. Huang Zheng introduced her enthusiastically, "This is my junior sister Gu Pinpin. She is actually in charge of the Dream Seeking Technology, but she doesn't like to show up in public."
"Hello, hello. It's true that women are just as capable as men. No wonder Mr. Huang is so successful. It turns out there's a junior sister standing behind him." Zhou Dongsheng smiled brightly and took the initiative to say hello.
"Hello Mr. Zhou, I heard from my senior that your viewpoint on defining 'promoting good products' as social e-commerce is very novel. I will have to ask you for your advice later."
The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at the underground parking lot, where a conspicuous Rolls-Royce was parked, a rare sight in the parking lot of this office building.
At this moment, Lu Sifang really became a driver. He took the initiative to drive the car dejectedly and tried to play his role.
After all, this was a bad start, and I couldn't help but worry about my future.
"Then Mr. Huang and Mr. Gu, we will continue our conversation when we get there. See you later." Zhou Dongsheng greeted them with a smile and got into the car first.
As soon as he saw this car, Huang Zheng had a further understanding of Zhou Dongsheng's ability. After all, clothes make the man.
But Huang Zheng was thinking, what family is Zhou Dongsheng from? He is so capable at this age, most likely because of his family.
After all, the accumulation of capital still requires a long process, and only a very small number of geniuses can complete this process quickly.
Even if you are a genius, you still need the help of luck and the times.
In fact, every success is unique and often difficult to replicate, just like there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same.
The study of success is just a false proposition.
After getting in the car , Zhou Dongsheng leaned back in his chair, took a long breath, and dropped his relaxed disguise.
"Boss, you are so awesome. You managed to turn the defeat around by your own strength. I have to admit defeat to you." Lu Sifang said somewhat unnaturally.
"It's not your fault. Huang Zheng is not an ordinary person, otherwise he wouldn't have challenged the e-commerce field again and again. If it was really that easy to talk to, I wouldn't have come with you." Zhou Dongsheng said casually.
However, when these words fell into Lu Sifang's ears, they revealed an extraordinary self-confidence, as if saying: I came here to support you. Since you are useless, I have to do it myself.
In fact, business negotiations involve psychological games. Lu Sifang is just the brick that starts the discussion and Zhou Dongsheng is also prepared.
After all, in Zhou Dongsheng's mind, the other party is the creator of a future trillion-dollar giant, and this preconceived notion has subtly influenced Zhou Dongsheng.
After a conversation with Lu Sifang, the light in Huang Zheng's eyes gradually faded, and his mood calmed down a little.
It is undeniable that Huang Zheng is now one of the very few promising young people with a promising future, but this future has at least not arrived yet, and Zhou Dongsheng has the information gap about this future.
The essence of business is information asymmetry. The huge advantage created by this in and out is enough for Zhou Dongsheng to seize the initiative and the right to speak to win this billion-dollar business!
Li Jiana did not say anything either, fully playing her role as an assistant, and the car fell into a brief silence.
Zhou Dongsheng quickly reviewed the information he had in his mind and organized his words so that he could easily win over Huang Zheng at the next dinner table.
Today, Zhou Dongsheng plays the role of a younger generation who is well prepared and sneak attacks Huang Zheng, an old comrade in entrepreneurship. Is this good? This is very good.
Who can resist money?
Soon, the group arrived at a decent restaurant. Huang Zheng smiled and said, "The Shanghainese cuisine in this restaurant is very good. I came here once with my teacher and I still remember it clearly!"
"Then I'm in for a treat. I must try it." Zhou Dongsheng put on his smile again and responded calmly as he got out of the car.
Then the two of them walked in side by side, and sat down one after another in the hotel's private room.
"Let me make it clear first, I don't drink. If Mr. Huang and Mr. Gu want to have a drink, they can only let my assistant and Mr. Lu accompany them." Zhou Dongsheng clasped his hands together and greeted them first.
"Okay, let's not drink! We are like-minded in this respect. I don't like drinking much either, but it's mainly because I have business engagements and I can't help it." Huang Zheng smiled.
"I don't drink either." Gu Pinpin said with a smile.
"Okay, then let's all have some tea." Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile. Li Jiana stood up and despite the presence of a waiter, she still diligently poured tea for everyone.
"Mr. Zhou, could you please elaborate on the concept of social e-commerce that you mentioned earlier?" Gu Pinpin spoke first, looking at Zhou Dongsheng with a pair of expressive eyes.
"This is mainly inspired by your model of 'promoting good products', and the words 'social e-commerce' popped up, and the more I think about it, the more appropriate it is."
"From the perspective of the group-buying model of 'Push Goods', it itself relies on social networking and uses the social effect of 'word of mouth' to quickly form a group."
"In reality, word of mouth is limited by the medium and often takes a certain amount of time to ferment, but relying on social software will undoubtedly greatly shorten this process."
Zhou Dongsheng paused and continued his talk. After all, he had seen the mature form of Pinduoduo, so any few words he said were advanced ideas for the newly-born Pinduoduo!
