Who Can Fall In Love After Being Reborn?

Chapter 536 Total Collapse

Internet business platforms such as group buying actually have some natural antagonism with merchants. After all, you have to take a commission from their sales, which is inevitable.

Moreover, Pintuan has never settled payments to merchants, so it stands to reason that it will not receive support from any brand.

The most outrageous thing is that 80% of these brands have never cooperated with grouping.

Especially the sweet milk tea.

I remember that when the group buying market entered a period of wild growth, everyone was trying their best to grab merchants, fighting against Tie Fist Wushuang, threatening Lashou.com to get out, and almost getting into a fight at Xitian’s Xijing branch.

At that time, Xitian’s legal representative Fang Xiaoxuan also publicly stated that the group-building behavior was too overbearing and rude.

It is said that in November, they suspended cooperation for a long time because of this incident.

But what is the situation now? Dianping was rejected by more than half of the well-known brands, but Jiang Qin seemed to know about it first.

"Don't be anxious or confused yet, inform the Ministry of Commerce and call over to verify."

Zhang Tao made a prompt decision and began to arrange tasks.

"clear."

"Also, send some red envelopes to the media and tell them to postpone the signing conference for now and don't let them come here to take photos."

"Okay boss, I'll make arrangements immediately."

Yang Xueyu nodded and walked out of the banquet hall. However, not long after he left, the door was pushed open again.

A slightly fat man wearing a dark blue suit walked in, then looked around the venue, greeted a few people in the fourth row, and then walked straight to the right side of the first row.

After sitting down, the man looked around and found that there was no one around him. He was a little confused and seemed not to have expected this situation.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Tao and Chen Jiaxinyu immediately became energetic, then chased after him and stood in front of him.

"Hello, I am Zhang Tao, the owner of Dianping. This is our general manager Chen Jiaxin. Who are you?"

"Ah, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Chen, hello, I'm Guan Deshan, the North China regional manager of Burger King."

"Hello, Manager Guan, I've heard of you for a long time. You're here to attend the signing conference, right?"

"Yes, our boss said that Burger King will always be a family-like partner of Dianping, but it seems that I came too early. Why didn't they come?"

"Maybe we're still on the way. You sit down first and I'll find someone to make tea for you."

After Zhang Tao finished speaking, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed.

That's right, it's still some time before the signing conference. The people who come here are all small and small businesses. They come early to expand their contacts. Big brands like that will basically put on some airs, so it's not surprising to come a little late.

That Jiang Qin must have taken a look here when he came and found that there was no one in the first three rows, so he deliberately set off a smoke bomb. Damn, what a dog!

But at this moment, Guan Deshan's cell phone suddenly rang. He said sorry to Zhang Tao and Chen Jiaxin, then turned around and answered the phone.

The caller was a manager from the headquarters. Within a few words, Guan Deshan's smile gradually faded, until it finally froze on his face and disappeared without a trace.

"Um, I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I have to take a step first."

Zhang Tao was a little surprised: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Um...my wife is giving birth."

Guan Deshan picked up his mobile phone and walked outside in a panic, still mumbling, and his face was full of confusion.

Didn’t we agree that we are like a family with Dianping? Why did we suddenly say that we are really a family with Pintuan.com?

It's like a foster child who starts to call mom and dad, but then someone comes out and says that you are the biological son of the opposite door. What a joke!

Guan Deshan quickly clicked on his Weibo and deleted all the Weibo posts he had followed Dianping to criticize for the broken group funds. He wanted to be a clean person and do things with integrity!

"Mr. Guan, Mr. Guan!"

"?"

Zhang Tao chased him a few steps away, and when he saw Guan Deshan running faster and faster, his expression began to become surprisingly embarrassing.

If only the brand owners in the first three rows had not arrived yet, he would have been lucky, but Guande Mountain's quick run seemed to be the final word, hitting him directly in the heart.

It's not a smoke bomb, something really happened.

Although I don't know how the other party did it, those partners who were invited in advance probably won't come. As soon as this thought occurred, Zhang Tao couldn't help but sweatdropped.

At the same time, Zhang Li hurried over from behind, came to Chen Jiaxin out of breath, and handed over the mobile phone he had been holding in his hand.

The screen is unlocked, and there is a photo of the door of a branch of Xitian Milk Tea Shop. In the photo, there is a co-branded poster between Xitian and group grouping posted on the glass window of Xitian. It says that new models are on the shelves and group groupings are available for purchase. .

"Xitian and Pintuan co-branded?"

"It's not just sweetness, there's also..."

Listening to Zhang Li's gasping voice, Chen Jiaxin immediately looked back for photos.

Heli Lao, Green Pepper Grilled Fish, Burger King, Mei Ye KTV, Dadi Cinema, Mr. Xianhui, Roadside Skewers, Senbon Foot Bath, Yang Kee, Kameju Sushi Incense, BC Steak Buffet, Vienna Hotel, Honami Ramen …

All major chain brands have posted co-branded posters with group tours in their stores, and even launched exclusive packages for them.

Among them, there are two photos about Dadi Cinema. The second one states that if you buy tickets in a group, you will get a small portion of popcorn and Coke as an extra gift.

After seeing these photos, Chen Jiaxin's eyes darkened, and she took three steps back before regaining her balance.

Jiang Qin used a refund and an advertisement to win the hearts of consumers all over the Internet, but it was in vain without cooperative merchants, but if all these brands went to group shopping...

With such a large number of consumers, coupled with the best merchants, the group shopping will be crazy for orders tonight.

From a week ago, step by step, she stirred up public opinion, established a personality, and finally co-signed with the merchants. Chen Jiaxin felt as if something collapsed and fell directly on them.

But before she could take a breath, their boss suddenly started calling for security not far away.

Chen Jiaxin turned around and saw a large group of reporters and photographers pushing the door open and rushing in. They were shooting wildly at the scene, shooting forward, backward, and diagonally, taking 360-degree shots without blind spots.

Although the hotel security responded promptly, a reporter still rushed to the front desk and clicked the shutter on the empty first three rows.

"Why are the reporters here? Where is Yang Xueyu, and where are the others!"

"Boss, I...I'm here!"

Zhang Tao's eyes turned red: "Didn't I tell you to give some red envelopes to the media and don't let them come here yet? What on earth is going on?"

Yang Xueyu gasped and shook his head: "The red envelopes have been distributed, and the media people have agreed, but these reporters are not invited by us."

At this moment, a female reporter wearing a windbreaker suddenly rushed over with a microphone: "Mr. Zhang, it is said online that Dianping's funds are about to be cut off. Is this true?"

Before Zhang Tao could open his mouth, another reporter rushed over: "Mr. Zhang, half of the merchants at the signing conference did not come. Is there indeed a problem with Volkswagen's funds?"

"Mr. Zhang, there are rumors online that Xitian cannot get payment from Dianping and will terminate its contract with Dianping. Is this true?"

"boss Zhang……"

"Mr. Zhang, please answer the question."

"Mr. Zhang, Dianping refuses to respond to the refund issue and even rents out two luxurious halls to indulge in sex. Do you really have consumers at heart?"

Zhang Tao felt that his ears were ringing, and the buzzing sound was constantly surrounding his ears. He could only hear the media reporters calling Mr. Zhang.

Next to her, Chen Jiaxin was also surrounded by reporters. Facing the same problem, she opened her mouth but didn't know how to deal with it.

Why are there rumors online that Dianping’s funds have been cut off? It's a group fight.

Because Yang Xueyu had just said it, Jiang Qin admitted that he had also prepared a group of experts to spread rumors that their funds were cut off.

But Dianping is actually not afraid of it, because mere rumors are unlikely to cause too much of a sensation.

Why is rumor-mongering successful? It’s not because Tuanbao.com was so popular in the early stage.

But once the photos of the venue were leaked, some things were not that simple, because their venue was really half empty, and it was still the first three rows.

Volkswagen originally wanted to gather all the big brands, pretend to sign an agreement or something, and guide the remaining small and medium-sized merchants to turn to Volkswagen. But if these photos are leaked, then Dianping will have a problem and it will be considered true.

When merchants find out that big brands have left, how can they dare to trust you even if you can prove that you have sufficient funds?

Who knows what other major hidden dangers your company has, or why all the big brands have run away.

They had never thought of this situation before...

At the same time, in the banquet hall next door, the seminar was about to begin. Jiang Qin was already seated, sometimes fiddling with his mobile phone, sometimes looking up in a daze, without any other emotion on his face.

"Mr. Jiang is awesome. Dianping is trying to show off in his face, but he can still be so calm."

"Yes, the consumer's problem has been solved, how can they solve the trust problem of merchants? Once the signing conference next door is held, it is estimated that more merchants will leave group shopping and invest in Dianping."

"Time is too short. It is very rare for Mr. Jiang to force public opinion to this point. If he can bring the goodwill of consumers, he will definitely attract attention next time he starts a business."

Everyone was chatting with each other and had already begun arranging things for Jiang Qin's next business venture, and the time in the venue also moved forward little by little.

Soon, the time came to five o'clock in the evening, which was already the start time of the seminar.

But what is strange is that there are two positions in front that are always empty. One position belongs to Zhang Tao and the other belongs to Chen Jiaxin.

“Two minutes left, where are the people from Dianping?”

"The one who was there just now took a call and left."

"The time has come, you shouldn't be late."
