"Then choose Tsu City!"

"Ning Xiang said before that Jincheng's tofu brain, as well as Goubuli buns, are delicious, we just had the opportunity to try them!" Xue Lulu proposed.

She remembered that the last time Xue Ningxiang came back from Jincheng, she was full of praise for the various delicacies in the old city of Tianjin.

"Okay, then let's settle in Jincheng!"

"Actually, I chose this place, not only because this is my hometown, but also because I plan to build the North China headquarters of our Aituan Network here! Lin Chen said.

He is very clear that since Aituan Network wants to lay out a R&D center in the future, it naturally needs to choose an area with unique resource advantages.

"Why is the R&D center built in Jincheng?"

"Is it mainly considered that there is a Tianqi Group here? However, the background of Spring City should be better than that of Jincheng, right?" Xue Lulu and Feng Xiaolian said in unison.

"Of course not!"

"If you don't understand automobiles, you may not know that in addition to Tianqi and Toyota, there is also a giant in Jincheng! This company can even affect the pattern of China's entire automobile industry in the future. Lin Chen said.

"Huh, and such a company?" Xue Lulu asked curiously.

"Well, this is a central enterprise, control the formulation of domestic automotive standards, has the most advanced laboratory, and also has the best testing center in China, in the future we choose to establish a research and development center in Jincheng, will be more cost-effective than in Chuncheng, the road will be more stable!"

Lin Chen said meaningfully.

He still remembers that when he just graduated, he did not pay much attention to automobile standards, and always felt that automobile standards were far less important than automobile design, and even less important than the core hardware such as engine and gearbox.

Later, some auto companies suffered the loss of slow transformation, so that he really understood.

First-class enterprises always control the truth of standards!

The standard is not only the direction, is the future, but also the precursor of the change of automobile hegemony, especially the early research and development cycle of automobile enterprises is long, once the direction is wrong, the light short-term loss, the heavy is a slump, and even from then on.

He still remembers that more than ten years later, the domestic automobile industry experienced overcapacity, some state-owned enterprises, private enterprises and even foreign-funded joint ventures, once giants, also lost the opportunity because of the wrong strategic direction, and fell off a cliff.

Therefore, if he chooses the location of the research institute, it must be in the closest place to the birth of the automobile standard.

"Boss, look at this news!"

While chatting, Xue Lulu suddenly handed the phone to Lin Chen.

The mobile phone screen shows that Taotao.com announced that it will enter the legion purchase business and will set up a group buying area on the homepage of Taotao.com by the end of this month.

"Boss, Taotao.com is also entering our field!" Xue Lulu said anxiously.

There was a hint of worry in his expression.

In front of Sousu.com, it announced that it would launch the group car sector this weekend, and now what Taotao.com is also involved in group buying, in addition, there are countless new forces in group buying across the country that are rising rapidly.

It can be said that today's Aituan Network is really a belly and back enemy.

"Boss, at this time, is it really okay for us to continue to expand according to the pie style?" Feng Xiaolian still had doubts.

"Xiaolian!

"You have to remember that the more difficult the moment, the more determined we must be, and the more difficult the moment, the more courageous we must be!"

"Nowadays, we are actually racing with other companies to see who will occupy the national market first! Our first step now is the six regional 100 cities plan, and we must start the 100 cities group purchase business before the end of this month!"

"The second step, after the Spring Festival, immediately turn to the third and fourth-tier cities, and strive to cover all urban centers above the county level in the first half of next year! Lin Chen specially advised.

.........

At the same time as Lin Chen took the plane back to Spring City, in the conference room of a luxurious five-star hotel in the center of Liancheng, the lights were brilliant and guests gathered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, journalists!"

"Welcome to today's press conference on our Qutuan.com Series A financing!"

As a slender and generous woman in red walked into the middle of the rostrum of the press conference, the whole venue instantly burst into warm applause.

The woman in red is Fan Qi, the general manager of Aituan.com, and there are five bigwigs in the investment industry sitting on her left and right.

Most of these bigwigs are well-known figures in the domestic venture capital industry, and if Lin Chen is here, he can at least recognize two people.

One is Zhu Siming's sister Zhu Mingyan, who still occupies an absolute controlling position in Qutuan.com.

The other, sitting on the left side of Zhu Mingyan, is Chen Donghan from the capital.

Today's financing is the result of the two of them working together.

Unlike Aituan.com, which has already achieved profitability, Qutuan.com, although it has just been launched, has been tight due to the huge amount of money spent on publicity in the early stage.

More importantly, at the moment of the rise of the domestic group buying industry, Qutuan is naturally reluctant to be limited to one place, and they also want to go out of the Northeast and compete for a position in the first-tier cities such as Beijing and Haicheng.

And so.

When Chen Donghan found Zhu Mingyan to discuss the next round of financing, the two almost hit it off and directly agreed on today's Series A financing plan.

"Hello Mr. Fan!"

"Can you reveal the scale of this round of financing on Qutuan.com?" At this time, a handsome male reporter asked first.

"Of course!"

"In view of the trade secrets, I can only tell you one number, this time the financing amount of our Qutuan network is 150 million yuan!"

"Received investment from four institutions led by Donghan Investment!" Fan Qi nodded and introduced.

1.5 billion RMB!

Hearing about the huge amount of financing obtained by Qutuan.com, the entire press conference caused a brief commotion.

Although Fan Qi did not disclose the proportion of shares and other financing details, in any case, it shows that Qutuan.com is already a company with a valuation of over 100 million yuan.

You must know that it has only been less than two months since Qutuan.com has been planning and is really on the right track.

In a short period of time, the valuation has been doubled.

After a short commotion, another female reporter stood up and asked: "Mr. Fan, I also want to ask you a question, after obtaining this financing, will you continue to cultivate the Liancheng market, or will you quickly develop other markets?"

The reporter's question was very direct, but it was not unexpected by Fan Qi.

"We will definitely take root in Liancheng, this is the first city where we have launched Qutuan, but at the same time, I want to tell you a good news!"

Speaking of this, Fan Qi paused deliberately.

For a moment, all eyes converged on her.

"At ten o'clock in the morning on the 30th of this month, our Qutuan network will be officially launched in ten major cities such as Beijing, Haicheng, Shenzhen, and Rongcheng at the same time!"
