Because the temperature in the villa was very high, Chu Yuanxi was wearing big pants and a small vest lying on the sofa, when the door lock rang, he jumped up excitedly, and his heart said What is the situation? How can anyone come on Chinese New Year's Eve in the middle of the night?

As a result, the door opened, and a cold wind poured in, and the cold air blew on the entrance and rushed into the house, making Chu Yuanxi shiver. When you look closely, a tall figure walks out of the darkness into the light, and even if it is wrapped in a thick down jacket, it does not make people feel bloated.

"Feng Lin, why are you back?" Chu Yuanxi was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, "You are also a foreign tourist, right?"

"What if you don't come back? You don't know what kind of panic Bali is in, and if you don't come back quickly, the flight will be canceled. Feng Lin took off his plush hat, took off his mask, took off his down jacket, and his eyes flowed: "Then I can't live in Bali for half a year......?

"Don't just take off your down jacket, take off all your clothes quickly, and don't keep any of them!"

"What?" Feng Lin blinked his eyes, "How many days have you been holding back?"

I saw that Chu Yuanxi didn't know where to take out a clothing storage basket, and said gently: "In this way, it can be completely disinfected." ”

"I-" Feng Lin rolled his eyes, "Why are you like this?

"Then I should ...... I'll open up an upstairs room for you?"

"It's pretty much the same, but don't I have a room?" Feng Lin looked up, she usually lived on the first floor, Chu Yuanxi's room was also on the first floor, and Yu Yanan only lived on the second floor.

I saw Chu Yuanxi smiling, "In this way, you can isolate well...... Don't leave if you come, quarantine for a week first. ”

"I'm not sick at all, hey, I'm healthy!"

"My mom said the same thing before, and now she stays at home obediently and doesn't go anywhere, and she is more honest than me. ”

Chu Yuanxi stepped forward as he said and helped Feng Lin undress, Feng Lin immediately slapped his hand away: "Then you don't stay away from me, aren't you afraid of infection?"

"I'm afraid. But I'm your 'close contact', have you ever heard of this word? 'Close contact' is hiding from you, and you don't even dare to get closer, are you sad?"

Feng Lin rolled his eyes: "Then, wouldn't it become the most romantic thing between us, that is, I will accompany you to isolate?" hahahaha." Hey, what are you smiling at when I walk in the door?"

"I'll tell you about it first, it's said to be useful. ”

"The water temperature is more than 60 degrees, you can spare me......"

Feng Lin obviously didn't listen to Chu Yuanxi's fierce washing, but the sound of water came from the bathroom and reached Chu Yuanxi's ears, making him can't help but think of the encounter with Feng Lin at Mango Terrace. That was all the year before last, and it passed really quickly in a blink of an eye, I remember that it was also in the bathroom at the beginning, in the thick of the steam, Feng Lin's legs had a rank.

(Chapter 540 has not yet been fixed)

Soon Feng Lin's hair was wet, and he wiped it as he walked, and the hair that was over his shoulders was silky and smooth, revealing a healthy luster. Facing Chu Yuanxi's gaze, Feng Lin jumped into the sofa and half-lay down next to Chu Yuanxi.

"Say, what were you laughing at just now, I still heard Zhang Ming?"

"Shouldn't we talk about omitting 10,000 words at this time?"

"Can you still hold on to 10,000 words?" Feng Lin couldn't help laughing, "Besides, I can't be blinded by desire, hurry up!"

Saying that, she arched her elbow on Chu Yuanxi's lap, Chu Yuanxi knew that she liked to hear this the most, so she picked up her mobile phone and casually searched for a news article about watching a movie for free on the first day of junior high school and gave it to her. "Just about this, I just chatted with Brother Ming, and he said that he didn't lose the 630 million he spent, and he could attract new users, so I laughed at this. ”

"Hey?" Feng Lin thought for a while, frowned and asked, "I remember you didn't tell me that you would also make movies in the future, and then rely on movies to attract new users to your APP?

Chu Yuanxi gave her an appreciative look, and he felt the same way when he saw this news at first, so he was quite shocked.

That being said, but you also have to look at the process. The film they chose this time will be known when you get up in the daytime and watch it. This plan is good for everything, but the core point is based on the content, and if the content is not too hard, the effect will be greatly reduced. ”

"Uh...... I also saw this thing on the road, and I feel that the wind is very good, and the people of the whole country are praising the appearance of Xu Shanzheng. Feng Lin looked up at Chu Yuanxi, and just happened to see Chu Yuanxi's jaw angle, which seemed to have just shaved chin without any beard stubble, and looked very clean.

She stretched out her green index finger and wanted to pestle, but was caught by Chu Yuanxi, and quickly pulled out her wrist with a flick of her wrist, and said, "If you want me to say, although you Ba people must be experts in making content, why do you think that no one has moved the content of the headlines? Douyin doesn't understand what content can do?"

"I didn't say that I didn't understand the content. But do you remember what I told you, for example, choosing a product spokesperson, being the boss must not choose by himself, and he must not order whichever female star he likes, no matter how rich he is, he must be researched by a team of experts. ”

"Yes, yes, you said it, otherwise there will be a big deal of money thrown out of Hani and an operational crisis. But what does this have to do with headlines?"

"Of course there is, the time for the decision of the headline department is only a few days at most, although it is not necessarily only 24 hours, and the discussion may have begun before the decision to withdraw the file, but it will definitely not be too long, you understand? Toutiao is such a large company, so many levels, 630 million is not a small amount, usually this kind of business negotiation is not enough to talk about three rounds of more than a month.

Being able to make decisions so quickly must be a direct decision from the top, and it is the one who destroys the process, all the responsibilities, future problems, etc., and the people below are not responsible. I guess this board was taken by Zhang Ming himself, so I laughed. Why is he pinching his nose now to watch the rhythm of the water army? Because it doesn't matter who he owes for movie tickets, what matters is that someone comes to watch it, and it needs to be hyped up. Got it?"

Feng Lin rolled over and sat up. Also because the indoor temperature is very high, she changed into a cool outfit, and because she just bathed without makeup, her face is pure and natural. As soon as he turned over like this, his two smooth legs swung up and down, and the two looked at each other, Chu Yuanxi felt that his breathing was suppressed, and he was suppressed by Feng Lin's explosive feeling of youth and health.

With a "snap", Feng Lin opened his hand again, "Hey, I'm in isolation, you can bear with it for a week." ”

After saying that, her two faint eyebrows curled into a crescent moon.

After putting on makeup, Feng Lin's eyebrows will be painted in a strong style, black and long, looking very decisive, with outstanding temperament, and after removing makeup, it becomes very friendly, more like a little sister, at this time, when he laughs, his eyebrows are bent, and his crescent eyes are also bent, to paraphrase the latest special effects launched by Douyin, it is "100% brightness of smile".

"I said I was going to quarantine with you. ”

Chu Yuanxi forcibly dragged her over, but Feng Lin still held on and didn't let him get too close. "Wait until I go to a certain petal to see the score first, maybe the reputation of the person is not so bad? If the score is lower than 6, I will be isolated with you, and the score on a certain petal will come out, right?"

"A certain petal, I haven't seen it in a long time. Chu Yuan Xixin said that it was done, with Xu Shanzheng's influence, it would be a bit difficult to fall below 6 points.

"Why?"

"This, I'll tell you a story......" Chu Yuanxi needs to make Feng Lin give up a certain petal, so he has to tell some black history.

"Anyway, a long, long time ago, there was a film reporter who performed art and created a movie called "Even if you become a Beetle Kafka, you can't get into the castle", and then P an illustration of an unpopular movie in the former Soviet Union made a poster for this movie, and made up an absurd plot in the format of a certain petal, and in the introduction of the movie, he made up a nonsense of terms such as deconstructivism and modernism, which ordinary people don't understand anyway, in short, that's what it means. Oh yes, and I put together a credits. ”

"And then?"

Chu Yuanxi was already gradually lying on the sofa when he spoke, but Feng Lin was sitting next to his lap. "And then it must have been added to a movie library somewhere. After a year, 2,500 people marked that they wanted to see it, and more than 200 people marked it as seen, with a rating of 8.9. There are a lot of movie reviews, some people also say that they bought a genuine DVD, some people say that it is one of the must-see movies recommended by inspirational young people, and the funniest thing is that one shares film editing skills, the emperor's novelty does not have so many details, do you dare to believe it?"

"And then?"

Chu Yuanxi said calmly: "Then one day a certain petal finally found out that there was no such movie and secretly deleted it." ”

"Poof—there is still such a thing?" Feng Lin pulled Chu Yuanxi's arm, "Go, go to quarantine!"

............

This Spring Festival, Chu Yuanxi obviously has to work from home, and even the first day of the new year is busy during the day, because he found that the well-off needs to temporarily add a lot of new services under the change of the general environment.

For example, the sales of hot pot-related ingredients and finished dishes have skyrocketed, and they are easy to eat and refreshing, and they are all packaged foods that look hygienic.

Since Xiaokang has a comprehensive and in-depth data control system, this change is fed back to Chu Yuanxi at a very sensitive speed. Therefore, the well-off needs to increase the goods, and the Ba people need to launch relevant short video works, similar to vlog-type videos, from buying to eating, reflecting the New Year's flavor and self-entertainment in the new scene.

The benefits of the well-off and Ba people working overtime close to the New Year are instantly reflected, and this kind of video is very efficient through the positioning advertising of Douyin Kuaishou, so that hundreds of well-off stores can be voted as the placers, and the customer acquisition effect is extremely obvious under the superposition of multiple factors.

In addition, there is also a safe purchase service.

Xiaokang currently does not provide home delivery services, which can be provided but has not yet reached that stage. Milestone 5 itself has the intention of increasing the delivery service but needs to hire more clerks, otherwise you can only go Huangtuan and Eleme, then it is not necessary, the well-off business is good to let people go to the store, and it is good for profit through third-party home delivery, and it will do more harm than good to the entire ecology.

Of course, based on the current scenario, the question of when to add this service after the holiday has become a matter of discussion.

In the well-off format, the store itself does not sell fruits and vegetables, and fresh food is the raw material in the entire ecology. But now the customer's demand for fruits and vegetables has increased greatly, and this feedback soon came to Chu Yuanxi's mobile phone.

The well-off can be used with confidence, as long as you add the category of melons, fruits and vegetables.

The so-called assured purchase is a service that allows users to place orders on their mobile phones and then pick them up at the store within a specified period of time. The advantage of this service is that you don't have to worry about selling out in the store, as long as the order is successful, it will be packaged by the well-off and then stored in the store. Therefore, users can go directly to the well-off logistics chain to place an order across the store, and as long as the nearby warehouse can be distributed, the goods can be packaged.

It's a service that's just right for fresh food and it's the right time to organize.

In fact, Rest assured Shopping itself has also considered increasing the fresh category, and there has been no problem at all in the operation of the original world, and Chu Yuanxi knows that it is possible. But this demand was not in a hurry before, so it was not added.

Why don't you rush it? Because so many toC fresh food have been poured out, what kind of excitement is Xiaokang making? But now is the right time to add in. Of course, the workload of the logistics front line will increase more, but the process is no different from other SKUs, and there will be basically no problems with the precise operation rules of well-off logistics and stores.

These special circumstances must be grasped, the stronger the Matthew effect, and any mistakes in the face of the rolling trend will be magnified, so the more critical the period, the more conscientious you must be. Therefore, Chu Yuanxi felt more and more that it was a wise decision to encourage all employees to work overtime!

Then he had another problem.

Elizabeth originally planned to come back after the Spring Festival to make final plans, including the actual delivery of funds, the final signing of the investment agreement, etc., and of course, the most important thing was to report to Chu Yuanxi. She had to report on the business experience and adjustment of expectations after visiting several countries in Southeast Asia, as well as whether there were any new discoveries.

For example, have you found new potential partners? Are the goals strong or potential? Have you found any market changes that will affect the well-off Southeast Asia plan?

It's really bad that these reports are only written, and although remote video Q&A is okay, it is certainly not as convenient as face-to-face communication, which is more likely to trigger a spark of thinking.

But something big happened, Elizabeth couldn't come back, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to leave, and Chu Yuanxi couldn't go, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to come back.

The key is that on the side of Xiaokang, is there any wavering? Although Elizabeth didn't ask explicitly, Chu Yuanxi had already deeply felt her anxiety.

When there is such a big thing, only the big red of medicine, games and self-media, and the others are big green. Elizabeth, as the assistant to the president, knows the situation of Xiaokang quite well, even if she doesn't know anything else, she must know about the financing situation and cash reserves - if you don't consider the Ba people, Xiaokang itself is not rich in funds, and she will continue to do a lot of financing in the future.

Chu Yuanxi had no choice but to keep comforting her: "Xiaokang has specially made an A+ round of $ financing, just for you, Xiaokang itself does not use $, and this money is dedicated to Xiaokang's headquarters and does not move at all." Domestic is nothing more than the money for electric scooter OEM, and the amount you put in at the beginning is not large, so you don't have to worry about it at all. ”

"But I saw that you did Pre_B and only left at a valuation of 10 billion, which is not in line with your original plan, and I was shocked when I saw the report. ”

"Don't worry, that has nothing to do with you, it's the money for the mobile license, and it's just financed in advance. ”

Previously approved by Hu Shiheng and Xu Xin, Chu Yuanxi financed 10 billion in cash through the Ba people according to 10 billion, 550 million to buy a license, and the rest as a capital reserve. If only 550 million was raised at the beginning, it would still be a problem, at least the Spring Festival wave should have issued a cry of "I'm too difficult".

This explanation finally reassured Elizabeth, and then asked a question that she had been thinking about for a long time during the field trip: "Chu, I want to ask you, compared with Southeast Asia, the Indian market seems to be more attractive, why do you insist on letting me come to Southeast Asia to develop the market?"

"Sister, you can't just think about the market, you also have to think about the market participants. ”

"Aren't the participants in the Indian market all Indian entrepreneurs?"

"But behind them are penguins, Alibaba, and Amazon, all of them are a pot of porridge, okay? The market environment is extremely bad, and the market space has shrunk sharply. ”

Elizabeth suddenly thought of the fierce war in the Indian market, and the $ in the unit of 100 million dollars has been continuously invested in the war for many years, and it has not stopped to this day.

The most recent battle came five days ago, on January 21, when Zumatou, known as the Indian version of Dianping, bought Uber's delivery unit in India, Uber Eats. At this point, Uber's strategy continues to shrink, and the giant standing behind Zouma's head is Ali.

This is a company that has been continuously blessed by Alibaba, and since 2018, it has successively received a total of 900 million dollars of financing from Alibaba, but this merger and acquisition is a private placement merger and acquisition model, and the issuance of new shares to pay Uber instead of cash. After this merger and acquisition, Zuma is about to turn over and sing serfs, surpassing its old rival "Thinking Crookedly", with a market share of more than 50%, which is still a lot behind.

Of course, the pillar given by Si Wei is the penguin, and both the penguin and the yellow group have shots, which is simply a window guide.

But Zumatou is not the most Ali cash, the Indian version of Alipay Paytm in 2015 into Ali's 900 million $ financing, followed by SoftBank to invest 2 billion again, it can be said that the giants of the country and the dynasty have spared no effort to deepen the Indian market, and the momentum is very pressing.

And Southeast Asia is much better, although the penguins also voted some, but there is no such momentum as a rainbow, Ali is even more easy not to shoot, but Didi, Huangtuan and Big Dog Dongtou have invested some, but the main thing is that local entrepreneurs are fighting.

I only heard Chu Yuanxi say helplessly: "I don't want to fight against Penguin Ali outside, it's too difficult for me......"
