Chapter 159: There are no shortcuts to success
This familiar person is none other than Uncle Lin, who helped him at the beginning.
Until now, Lin Hao still doesn't know his identity, let alone what his real name is.
When Lin Hao saw him, he was ordering food at the front desk.
Lin Hao thought it was quite strange, this kind of food in hamburgers, why did Uncle Lin, a middle-aged man in his fifties, also like to eat it?
Thinking about it, he stepped forward to say hello to Uncle Lin: "Uncle Lin, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
Uncle Lin turned his head to look at Lin Hao, and he was also a little surprised.
But he smiled calmly and said, "Qiao! You also came to buy a hamburger?"
Lin Hao also smiled, shook his head and replied, "No, I came to find their boss for something." ”
Uncle Lin picked up the hamburger he bought, and was about to pay, but Lin Hao hurriedly asked the salesman, "How much?"
"Twenty-two dollars in total. ”
Lin Hao didn't think about it, so he took out the money from his wallet and handed it to the salesman.
But Uncle Lin stopped: "I'll just come by myself." ”
"It's okay Uncle Lin, it's rare to meet you, you helped me so much last time, it stands to reason that I should have invited you to dinner, but I know that you will definitely not agree. ”
"I'll do it myself. ”
Uncle Lin still insisted, and then said to the salesman: "You return the money to him, I have it here." ”
In fact, Lin Hao felt it from the last time, this Uncle Lin was very concerned about money, and he didn't let others invite him.
Lin Hao said decisively: "Uncle Lin, don't refuse this, I don't believe you bought it for yourself, it must be for your children, right?"
Uncle Lin smiled and nodded, "Yes, I bought it for my grandson." ”
"That's right, I'll do it!"
"Thank you then. Uncle Lin finally accepted Lin Hao's payment.
At this time, the store manager came out after making a phone call and said to Lin Hao: "The business side said yes, ask you to go to the company to talk, and I will give you an address." ”
"Okay, thank you!"
After getting the address, Lin Hao and Uncle Lin walked out of the fast food restaurant together.
Then, Uncle Lin asked Lin Hao: "Your business is quite big now! ”
Lin Hao smiled bitterly and said, "No, I'm worried now." ”
"Tell me about it. Uncle Lin narrowed his eyes and asked curiously.
So Lin Hao told the difficulties of this time, and also said the reason why he came to these chain brands.
After hearing this, Uncle Lin was silent for a while before he said, "Your thinking is right, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for these merchants to accept your proposal." ”
"No way, if you don't accept it, I'll have to do it because it's the only way. ”
"Have you ever thought that as long as the number of users increases, there will naturally be merchants to settle in? ”
Lin Hao nodded and replied: "Of course I thought about it, but our platform currently doesn't have anything to attract users, and the current function can only order food, and no one will log on to our website except for ordering food." ”
Uncle Lin nodded meaningfully, and said: "That's right, this trouble, merchants and users are actually proportional, as long as there are large brand stores settled in, it will naturally drive the activity of users." ”
Lin Hao suddenly felt that Uncle Lin seemed to understand everything, so he asked curiously: "Uncle Lin, take the liberty of asking, what do you do? ”
"I'm just an office worker. ”
Uncle Lin's words were obviously evading Lin Hao's question, and Lin Hao didn't ask more.
Then he said: "Then Uncle Lin, you go slowly, I'll go and get busy first." ”
......
It is not easy for every entrepreneur, Lin Hao suddenly remembered some things in his previous life.
When the Thousand Regiments War was in place, many e-commerce companies burned to the point of bankruptcy because of money burning, and only those who stayed in the end could be remembered.
But at that time, Meituan made an important decision, which was to invest money in products instead of advertising a lot.
While doing a good job in products, we should also do a good job in local promotion and local services, and lay a good foundation to have today's 'Meituan'.
Although this method is not applicable to everyone, Lin Hao feels that what he should do now is not to spend money on advertising, but to do a good job.
I remember that the slogan of 'Meituan' is: crazy visits, crazy orders.
This road is inevitably difficult, but there is no shortcut to success, and only after experiencing wind and rain can you see the rainbow.
When he arrived at the headquarters of the other company, Lin Hao asked the front desk to notify the company's business department.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Lin Hao was taken upstairs.
This is the second time he has come to such a large-scale company, the first time at Huaan Holdings.
Everything here made him yearn for it, and thinking about his small office with only a few computers, he was even more determined in his goal.
One day, I will have such a big company.
The people from the Ministry of Commerce thought that Lin Hao was here to talk about advertising cooperation, and they were quite polite at first, and asked the assistant to bring coffee to entertain them.
But after Lin Hao told the real reason, the other party suddenly changed his face.
Lin Hao had already guessed that this would be the case, so when the other party hadn't kicked him out, he hurriedly said:
"Listen to me first, in fact, this is not harmful to you, on the contrary, it is more of an advertising method for you, as long as you ......"
Lin Hao didn't finish speaking, he interrupted him impatiently, and said coldly, "Do you know that you are wasting time with me here?"
Lin Hao rolled his eyes, but still forced a smile and said, "I don't think I'm wasting time with you, I have to let you know that this will definitely be the future development trend." ”
The other party sneered and said, "Do you think we need it?" We have learned that your food ordering platform is a pheasant platform with some fly tubes in it, and we really disdain to be in the company of these merchants. ”
This "pheasant platform" made Lin Hao feel a nest in his heart, but he couldn't convince the other party to trust him.
It's like if you're a commissary at the entrance of a village, but you want to put things from other people's big brands on the shelves.
People disagree, saying that you have lowered the grade of others, and that's what it means.
Lin Hao still didn't give up, continued to maintain a modest smile, and said: "I won't say give me a chance or anything, so let's do it! You come in and try it, for three days, if the benefit is good, you can choose to stay; if there is no benefit, you can quit." ”
The other party still smiled disdainfully: "I don't understand with you? It's not a matter of efficiency, it's a matter of image! Even if there are good benefits in entering your platform, but our image has been damaged, will you compensate?"
Lin Hao didn't have any words, and the other party didn't say anything more, got up and beckoned to Lin Hao: "Let's go by yourself! ”
Lin Hao didn't cling any longer, let out a long sigh, and said, "Excuse me." ”
After leaving the company building, Lin Hao breathed in the fresh air outside.
I have always felt a panic in my chest, and this feeling of being swept out of the house is really embarrassing.
But this can't be helped, it's a fact, if they were themselves, they wouldn't easily agree.
Just as he was about to go to the next house, Lin Hao's mobile phone rang suddenly.
