Mao Wenchao is very smart, and he can even be said to be the kind of person who can take the first place in the exam as long as he reads some books carefully.

Stanford's MBA is quite difficult to get into, and Mao Wenchao is naturally not an ordinary person to be admitted.

Including Chen Dongcheng in the detection of the game, Mao Wenchao's intelligence is also very high.

The intelligence of 137 and ordinary people, is really not a horizontal line.

Mao Wenchao didn't care much about Chen Dongcheng at first, but just planned to send Chen Dongcheng away after a casual chat.

But now Chen Dongcheng's casual words aroused Mao Wenchao's great interest.

All entrepreneurs believe that they can succeed, but at the same time they are uncertain about the future.

Although Mao Wenchao got the angel round of investment, he really didn't know how Xiaohongshu should develop.

Whether to stick to the plan you started and continue to follow the overseas travel strategy, or choose to cultivate the domestic e-commerce field.

This is where Mao Wenchao hesitated.

Of course, this is normal.

How many can look at these newly established companies from the perspective of God like Chen Dongcheng?

Chen Dongcheng said a few words casually and teased Mao Wenchao.

Madan, you say!

Mao Wenchao was calm on the surface and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, about the community, I have been leading the team to do it.

What's more, our App has not yet been launched, and e-commerce is impossible to talk about. ”

"It is still necessary to take precautions, and I think Mr. Qu is quite competent in the e-commerce business. ”

Mao Wenchao was stunned for a long time before he said, "Mr. Chen, you know our company very well?"

Mao Wenchao and the other founder, Qu Ting, are also old acquaintances.

I have known each other for many years, and we are all employees of Bain & Company.

The two quit their jobs together to start a business, including the idea of Xiaohongshu, which was also thought up by the two together.

Even if it recruits a lot of employees now, no one knows that Xiaohongshu has plans to do e-commerce.

Only Qu Ting and Mao Wenchao know it.

But now that the abacus of the two of them is known to Chen Dongcheng, it is hell that Mao Wenchao can still be calm.

Chen Dongcheng smiled and said nothing, and said what should be said.

Now it depends on how Mao Wenchao chooses, anyway, Chen Dongcheng is ready to do both.

Mao Wenchao also knew what Chen Dongcheng meant, shopping malls are like battlefields, and now the two are talking about cooperation, so they greet each other with smiles.

If they can't talk, Chen Dongcheng may turn around and draw his knife.

Mao Wenchao was also very hesitant, thought for a while and said, "Mr. Chen, can we have a meal together in the evening, I want to officially introduce Mr. Qu to you." ”

The company is not Mao Wenchao alone, and the other founder, Qu Ting, also has shares.

"Okay, I'm here just in time. ”

Chen Dongcheng nodded with a smile, and Mao Wenchao also breathed a sigh of relief and took Chen Dongcheng to visit the entire company.

Many Xiaohongshu employees are particularly curious.

Mao Wenchao personally took a handsome guy to visit the company, and he didn't look like an investor.

Mao Wenchao: Although they got millions of angel round investments from Zhen Fund.

But it is impossible to be as wasteful as Chen Dongcheng, renting a thousand square meters of office space.

Their office area is less than 500 square meters.

The total number of employees is more than 100, which seems to be very crowded.

Back in Mao Wenchao's office, Mao Wenchao personally poured tea for Chen Dongcheng.

Chen Dongcheng and Mao Wenchao chatted about the domestic e-commerce environment, and the topic will turn to Chinese outbound tourism for a while.

No matter what he talked about, what Chen Dongcheng said inspired Mao Wenchao.

In particular, Chen Dongcheng's brief talk about some of the development of Xiaohongshu made Mao Wenchao helpless and anxious.

Mao Wenchao also understood that Chen Dongcheng was deliberate.

If you change him, you can't get any benefits and tell others the secret of success.

Even if it's not Shabi.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qu Ting finally returned to the company.

Under Mao Wenchao's introduction, Chen Dongcheng and Qu Ting exchanged a few words of greeting, and they were familiar with each other.

"Let's go, we have to learn from Mr. Chen tonight. ”

Mao Wenchao drove to a restaurant on Yuyuan Road.

The name of the restaurant is interesting, it is called Fu 1015.

The restaurant is a renovation of an old bungalow, which used to be the old residence of celebrities and dignitaries.

Walking into the restaurant, Mao Wenchao half-jokingly said: "Today, in order to invite Mr. Chen, I was bleeding profusely."

This restaurant is a full reservation system, and I also dragged a friend to vacate a private room for us. ”

Chen Dongcheng thanked with a smile: "It's so polite, just eat as much as you want." ”

"Then what's the matter, Mr. Chen is a distinguished guest. ”

This restaurant only has private rooms and no loose tables.

Walking into Mao Wenchaoding's private room, it is still the largest one in the entire restaurant.

There is a large terrace with a lawn underneath.

Mao Wenchao was very familiar with this piece, and said to the waiter with a smile: "We all want a package of 1280, help me open a bottle of Latour deck dry red." ”

The waiter nodded and placed an order, and Mao Wenchao smiled: "Mr. Chen, his crab banquet is very famous, it's a pity not to try it." ”

The waiter poured the red wine into the decanter, and Mao Wenchao gave Qu Ting a look.

Qu Ting smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm curious why you are so optimistic about us?"

Mao Wenchao also chimed in: "To be honest, our own confidence is not as good as yours.

In the field of vertical e-commerce, Mushroom Street is much larger than ours.

Even their development has been struggling, and we are now terrified at every step we take. ”

"Mushroom Street is different from you, they started as a shopping guide tool, and the way to stimulate users is the creation of scenes and the advantage of price.

But their content activity is quite low, and you can understand that most users buy things on it only because the price is cost-effective, so they burn money and lose a lot.

I can't find the difference between Taobao and Jingdong at all, so the viscosity to users is not enough. ”

"If you want to overtake in a corner, you have to focus on the content, build a community, and increase the social stickiness of users. ”

Chen Dongcheng smiled and looked at the thoughtful Mao Wenchao and Qu Ting.

"Although you are in the same latitude, you have very different development strategies. ”

Mao Wenchao kept repeating the word "community" in his mind.

Intuition told Mao Wenchao that these two words are the cornerstone of Xiaohongshu's success.

Without a community, it would be impossible for Xiaohongshu to stand out in this era of traffic exhaustion.

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, Mr. Chen, I respect you for this cup!"

The red wine has not yet woken up, and Mao Wenchao replaced the wine with tea.

"Mr. Mao is polite, I am very optimistic about Xiaohongshu, and Xiaohongshu will definitely go brilliant in your hands. ”

Chen Dongcheng smiled and clinked glasses with Mao Wenchao.

Qu Ting and Chen Dongcheng also looked at each other and smiled, but Chen Dongcheng did not hide his thoughts.

What is in front of them is whether to accept Chen Dongcheng's investment or not.

If so, how many shares to take.

You must know that the shares in the early stage of the business are very precious.

Only a few stunned youths will give most of their shares to investors at the beginning.

Mao Wenchao and Qu Ting are both elites of the world's top 500 companies, and they are confident in the future of Xiaohongshu.

I don't want to be a part-time worker for a group of investors after several rounds of financing.

The perennial tacit understanding has made Mao Wenchao and Qu Ting feel enlightened.

"Come, Mr. Chen, let's eat the vegetables first. ”

Mao Wenchao pretended not to understand what Chen Dongcheng meant, pointed to a dish brought by the waiter, and began to introduce.

Chen Dongcheng's brows furrowed, and his meaning was already obvious.

Could it be that the two of them are planning to prostitute themselves in vain?
