"Hello, this is the front desk of the company, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, I'm looking for Zhang Xuhao."

"Ahh

The young lady at the front desk opposite was obviously a little overwhelmed, and she was stuck for a moment before she picked up and said, "May I ask who you are, did you have an appointment with Mr. Zhang before?" ”

"You know, you know? Your biggest competitor right now. ”

Lin Yi wasn't asking superfluous questions to tease the young lady.

The position of the front desk is a bit special, he has met some little girls who have been working until they leave and have not figured out what business their company is, let alone competitors?

Fortunately, the professionalism of the young lady opposite is okay, and she gave an affirmative answer:

"Yes, I know."

"I'm Lin Yi from Casual Takeout.com, I have seen Mr. Zhang Xuhao of your company in the capital before, please tell him, he should answer my phone."

Well, because Lin Yi and Zhang Xuhao didn't leave each other's phone numbers last time, he can only call each other according to the contact number left on the website now.

The contact numbers published by many companies on the Internet were not answered, Lin Yi originally just had the attitude of trying casually, if it didn't work, he planned to find the other party through the relationship of Liu Jianni's venture capital circle.

His luck is not bad, as an entrepreneurial Internet company, Eleme did not leave an invalid number on the official website that could not be reached.

However, they actually had a front desk, and Lin Yi was envious again.

The young lady on the other side was a little embarrassed, she felt that this guy was inexplicably calling the front desk to find the boss, but she was worried that the other party was really an important person, so she had to be polite.

"I'm sorry, I don't have the authority to transfer the call to Mr. Zhang's side, if you know him, please contact his personal phone number directly."

"Of course, I didn't have a personal phone number, that's why I called you."

The young lady was still very polite, and Lin Yi didn't make it difficult for her: "In this way, you leave my name and phone number for a while and then pass it on to your superior, and then tell him to let Zhang Xuhao call me back." ”

Although the front desk still felt weird this time, it still did it, and as for whether to tell Zhang Xuhao about this kind of thing, he left it to his superiors to have a headache.

To be honest, Lin Yi's contact method is a bit reckless, and there is a high probability that no one will take care of it in a mature large company. Because the person who reports to the top needs to take the risk of the unknown, the average worker will not do this extra thing.

But he guessed that Eleme was still a very dynamic start-up company, and there were not so many messy rules and regulations, so the communication channels between the upper and lower levels should still be smooth.

As for whether Zhang Xuhao is willing to talk to him?

As the biggest competitor at this stage, Lin Yi feels that he still has this card.

The reason why Lin Yi didn't fly directly to Shencheng to find Zhang Xuhao was because he felt that the visit was a bit cheap, no matter how much the difference in size between the two sides was, he had to support a "everyone is equal" shelf.

His conjecture was correct.

Lin Yi didn't wait long before he received that call.

The voice on the other side couldn't hear joy and anger: "I'm Zhang Xuhao, I didn't expect Mr. Lin to come to me in this way, I don't know if I have any advice?" ”

"Don't dare to be, I always came to Zhang to discuss the public welfare activities that we are both carrying out to pray for the blessing of Yucheng recently."

Zhang Xuhao knew in his heart, he knew that Lin Yi must have called him for the events of the past two days, and his first reaction was to ask for the "plagiarism" of Xingshi who was hungry, in that case, his evaluation of Lin Yi would be much lower.

"I noticed that your website is also carrying out a charity activity similar to our Hungry Me, but we started preparing for it as soon as the disaster happened, but the technical complexity is so that the launch was delayed by one day."

If Lin Yi wanted to accuse, he first blocked the conversation and made it clear that he "did not plagiarize".

Zhang Xuhao did not deny the fact that he went online first, otherwise it would be an insult to everyone's IQ.

But Lin Yi really didn't come over to make this call to fight a lawsuit with him, he had something serious to discuss.

"I have an offer."

Zhang Xuhao was surprised, but his tone was still calm: "What proposal?" ”

"Mr. Zhang, we maintained a good tacit understanding last time, when this industry is booming, it is far better to grab food from the other party's bowl than to make the whole plate bigger, and then everyone will share the meat together."

Lin Yi said his thoughts: "I think everyone can join forces in this matter." ”

The other side muttered for a second: "What kind of joint method?" ”

The orders, merchants, and distribution systems of both sides are independent of each other, and if they are connected, it will become a company, and of course this is not what Lin Yi said.

"I would like to say that we can join forces with each other in this campaign to create a greater social impact, which is a great promotion for our entire industry."

Zhang Xuhao understood in seconds, he actually felt that this was a good idea, because the better the industry develops, the more he will benefit as a leader.

But I still have to be picky about this suggestion.

"Everyone is not subordinate to each other, if you want to join forces to publicize, who will be the main and who will be the secondary? Are we hungry, as a well-deserved industry leader, we will never be subservient. ”

This is not a refusal, but a bargain.

Of course, the technical details are also very important, which directly determines whether the two sides can reach this cooperation, and Lin Yi is very patient with this guy on the phone.

There is a little convenience for the bosses to communicate directly, that is, they can make decisions without asking anyone for instructions, so the efficiency will be higher.

Zhang Xuhao was also very satisfied with the effect of the activities over there in the past two days, so he still wanted to promote this cooperation, and finally the two sides reached an agreement with difficulty.

The ordering systems on both websites were independent, and then their interfaces on this charity event quickly connected to each other.

On the map made by Hungry, thirteen cities were directly lit up this time, from Bingcheng in the north, Yangcheng in the south, Rongcheng in the west, and Shencheng in the east, which has a bit of a national unity.

Another idea should of course be kept, on both sides of the page, the number of orders generated by Random Takeout and Ele.me respectively and the amount of real-time pledged donations.

From Lin Yi's point of view, he insisted that the two sides were equal; And the reason why Zhang Xuhao can accept it is that it can be clearly seen on the page that the amount of Hungry is several times that of Casual.

Li Jianguo raised concerns that if the two sides were put together in this way, it would seem that they had lost momentum casually.

But Lin Yi felt that the other party's scale was already larger than his own, which was nothing to be embarrassed to admit, and as far as the original intention of the event itself was concerned, he hoped to be able to show everyone a power called "unity" at this moment.
