Chapter 161, the boy's exclusive moment
There are two kinds of people that Bai Lu hates the most.
One is always thinking about showing superiority in front of him, and the other is showing superiority, but he still wants to show off in front of him.
I'm super rich second-generation, I'm rich, am I proud? No, on the contrary, Bai Lu has always kept a low profile.
Other people's rich second generation is either clubbing or Internet celebrity all day long, or supercars are bombing the streets, and brand-name clothing and brand-name watches spend money like running water. Bai Lu is already very frugal in this regard, and his clothes also have famous brands, but they are all domestic famous brands, which are expensive and one or two thousand, and even cheaper ones, with dozens of T-shirts and hundreds of shoes. Aside from a few cars, a yacht and a winery, Bai Lu hardly bought anything expensive.
I'm so low-key, why do you always want to show off your superiority in front of me?
Bai Lu has never figured out this question, and he hasn't figured it out for two lifetimes. To put it bluntly, this really has nothing to do with money and status, it just likes to show off, likes to show off, you don't have it, and I do, then I'm happier than you, and you should envy me. The envious eyes and words of others can bring great satisfaction to such people.
For example, my son took the first place in the class, and your son took the first place in the class.
That's probably what it means.
Bai Lu smacked the horn, and then gave Director Ding's family a horn, and then without waiting for them to say anything, he pulled Li Huizhen and left.
After walking away, Li Huizhen laughed, then looked back again, and found that the family was not nearby, and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen you say this, but don't say it in the future, your wealth will not be exposed." ”
"I just can't get used to her face." Bai Lu pouted. "Just say hello and chat when you meet, if you have to show off his son, I won't say anything to show off his son, and I will take me with me, then I can't get used to it...... By the way, Mom, what kind of director is Director Ding? ”
"Deputy Director." Li Huizhen said. "I used to be the deputy director of the women's labor department of our factory union."
"What kind of director am I?"
……
After a morning with Li Huizhen, I bought almost everything I needed to buy, had lunch at Qiao Xiaoqiao's house, and just got up in the afternoon, I received a call from Zhang Xiao, and Bai Lu went to the gym again.
"What's not to say on the phone?"
"Hey, good thing." Zhang Xiaomei said. "My daughter-in-law took the child back to her parents' house."
"Yo, what a coincidence, my daughter-in-law also took the child back to her parents' house." Bai Lu heyed. "So, what do you want to tell me? You have to let me come over. ”
"That's great." Zhang Xiao slapped his thigh. "Find a place tonight, watch the game, drink, do you want to go? Boys' exclusive moments. ”
"Then go to my house." Bai Lu proposed that his family has a private theater and watches football matches on a large screen, which is very enjoyable.
"What are you doing at your house, go to my house, my mother has not been at home for the past two days, go to my third aunt." Zhang Xiao said. "My family is not alone now, what do we want to build, hehe."
"Okay."
After waiting at six o'clock in the gym, Zhang Xiao got off work early, and the two found a ramen restaurant to eat casually, and then went to the supermarket to buy some beer and snacks, and then went back to Zhang Xiao's house.
"It's a bit messy at home, you can sit casually." Zhang Xiao opened the door and changed his shoes and began to clean up the sofa, because there are children, it is normal for the house to be chaotic, and children's toys can basically be seen everywhere.
"What's the game tonight?" Bai Lu can't say how much he loves football, but he also knows the rules, and he can't be said to be a fan in the real sense, but he is not a pseudo-fan, he belongs to the two.
"You don't know about the World Cup?" Zhang Xiao was surprised. "Didn't you love watching football when you were in school? Why don't you even pay attention to such a big event as the World Cup now? ”
"Isn't the World Cup summer?" Bai Lu was speechless. "I wouldn't have thought I'd play in the World Cup in the winter."
"This time it's in the emirate, it's hot over there, and it's killing in the summer, so it's in the winter." Zhang Xiao explained and instructed Bai Ludao: "You throw the beer in the refrigerator, it's not delicious." ”
"You're still going to drink the chilled one?" Bai Lu thinks it's good to drink some room temperature this season.
"Isn't that nonsense, the beer has to be served cold." Zhang Xiao looked at the time. "It's going to be almost eight o'clock, the first game at nine o'clock, the second game at eleven o'clock, cool for an hour, just drink."
The two chatted for a while, and the game began, seeing that the score was still 0-0 at the end of the first half, Zhang Xiao took a sip of beer and asked Bai Lu: "Are you hungry?" Why am I still a little hungry? ”
Bai Lu looked at the beer and snacks on the coffee table: "BBQ on the hour?" ”
"Gotta get it!" Zhang Xiao nodded in agreement and took out his mobile phone: "I order takeout, what are you eating?" ”
"Let's have some meat skewers and tendons, and some tendons." Bai Lu poked his head to look. "Whose did you order? Is there a fried silkworm chrysalis? This thing is especially good to drink, order a plate. ”
Fifteen minutes after the half-time break, the game continued until the end of the game, which was still 0-0, and there was no extra time in the group stage, and the game was over.
"Which store did you order, it's been an hour, and it hasn't been delivered yet?" Bai Lu threw a few peanuts into his mouth. "Look, are they all timed out?"
"I'll take a look." Zhang Xiao took his mobile phone to look at the real-time information of the takeaway and sighed. "What is this takeaway guy doing, he was two kilometers away from me a minute ago, and now he is almost three kilometers away from me, why is he still running in the opposite direction?"
"Make a phone call to urge, don't send it cold."
Zhang Xiao called to inquire, but the takeaway brother didn't answer the phone, and waited for almost 20 minutes before the takeaway was delivered to the place.
"Dude, how long have you been overtime, why don't you deliver it in advance?" Zhang Xiao opened the door to take takeaway, and when he saw that it was all packaged in a thermos bag, he didn't embarrass the takeaway brother, but he was a little curious. "Doesn't this overtime deduct your money?"
"It's not my single." The takeaway brother didn't have a list in his hand, so he chatted with Zhang Xiao. "Your list is a bit far, it's almost five kilometers, the delivery fee is only three yuan, no one answers, I think it's with my community, so I took a drop-way order, just after sending you this order I also went home."
"Ah, you live in this neighborhood too." As soon as Zhang Xiao heard that it was from a community, he became inexplicably enthusiastic: "Come in and sit down, watch the ball, and drink some beer." ”
The takeaway guy is also a self-cooked: "Don't bother?" It's so late. If you don't bother, I'll watch it, where will you play? ”
"Portugal plays Spain."
"Yo, this is something to see."
Then, Bai Lu saw Zhang Xiao come in with the takeaway and the takeaway brother.
The takeaway brother is called Kong Xin, and he also lives in Zhang Xiao's current community, he is a part-time takeaway, and he is a writer and a writer who writes online novels. According to his own words, a writer is equivalent to sitting at home, sitting at home all day long, and people are about to be wasted, so he found a part-time job for takeaway, went out for a run, and contacted more people, in addition to exercising, he can also find inspiration for future writing, after all, people have seen a lot, and all kinds of strange things can be encountered.
"Before I sent you this order, I sent that order but it disgusted me." Kong Xin took a sip of beer and told strange stories. "It's a woman, it looks like she's in her twenties, no more than twenty-five, and she said that I had to deliver takeaways to my doorstep, and I told her that the security guards in the community didn't let the takeaways in, so let her come down and pick them up, or let her tell the security guards, let the security guards send her to the elevator, hey, people won't do it, I won't give it to the door and give me a bad review."
Zhang Xiao asked, "Then did you send it?" ”
"No, I ate it myself." Kong Xin said hesitantly. "I ran two kilometers just to earn her a piece of five, what am I trying to do, I ordered something for less than fifty yuan in total, and the requirements are quite high, so I have to send it to the door, why don't you let me send her to the sky, am I the one who is missing dozens of dollars? I'm doing this purely to get inspired by my workout...... The main thing she ordered was what I liked. ”
Bai Lu took over: "You just said that you only earned three yuan for our order?" I don't think there are people within five kilometers? ”
"It's just that the unit price is too cheap." Kong Xin said. "In the past, five kilometers of this kind of single, a single seven or eight yuan, more than ten yuan, you can't grab it, now take out all kinds of discounts, after the merchant rider, a single is now less than two yuan. More than five kilometers, all given to the special delivery, a single dozen yuan, ordinary riders like us don't even think about it. ”
Sighing, Kong Xin said: "I sometimes think, you say that if I make a food delivery platform, just as a platform to connect customers, riders and merchants, and the price of orders is unified according to distance, will this industry be better?" ”
Bai Lu smiled: "Are you busy in vain?" How to make money? It doesn't cost much to develop an APP, but you have to spend money to publicize, just your current shrimp running platform, didn't it give riders all kinds of rewards and subsidies to merchants at the beginning. ”
"Accept the merchant's advertisement." Kong Xin said. "I've thought about this problem, businesses are willing to spend money on advertising, then the page displayed by the store is at the top, but for the sake of fairness, whether it tastes good or not depends on the customer's score, even if you spend money, the page is at the top, and if it is not delicious and there is no business, it is also your problem, right."
Zhang Xiao nodded approvingly: "This idea is good." ”
"It's a good idea, but it's not realistic." White Road. "Don't talk about whether you make money or not, you will be targeted."
Kong Xin was puzzled: "What is it for?" How do you target me? ”
"How else can you target?" Bai Lu said: "Look, there are two platforms in the takeaway market now, one shrimp run, one is super hungry, well, the name is not good, but how many years have these two been done, how big is the volume, the national market is shared by these two platforms, you seem to be competitive on the surface, but behind the scenes, the two have a common business strategy, one is to prevent the formation of industry monopoly, the other is that the two seem to be competing, in fact, they are opening up sources and reducing expenditures, and the information sharing between the two is open source, and various discounts are offered under the pretext of competition. Lowering the unit price of riders and the profits of merchants is throttling. ”
"So, if you get another platform, first, your size is not as big as others, and second, the funds are not sufficient, what do you use to compete with others? When the time comes, you will be ruining the market balance, and the two of them will let you go for a day, and they will lose a day, so no matter what, you won't be able to hold out for long. People will give you a direct acquisition, you have to know the current affairs, give you some money, merge your platform, and everyone will be happy. If you don't know the times, there are too many ways to keep you going. If you don't say anything else, just do a single activity and give some money to the riders and merchants, and you won't be able to fight others, because you don't have so much money and can't afford to spend it with a company of this level. ”
"What if I'm extra rich?" Kong Xin said. "Let's just make an analogy, for example, I'm very rich, I want to do this, can I do it?"
"No, either." Bai Lu shook his head: "Even if you are particularly rich, what is the definition you gave to the platform before?" It is a platform that connects customers, riders and merchants, and all you earn is the merchant's money, but the problem is, if you give the unit price of the rider to death, and someone has an activity, your rider will run away, what can you do? Do you also add money to the riders? You can't pay this money yourself, can you? How much money can you have? The market value of those two companies is hundreds of millions, and if you spend your own money to fight a price war with them, you can't win. Even if you win, even if you are the only one in the future, do you dare to lower the unit price? Coming down, what is the difference between you and the two now? There will be new platforms that will come out again to run on you. ”
"Dude, you know how to do it, listening to you say this, it's really simple-minded before." Kong Xin laughed twice. "Dude, you studied finance?"
"I make investments."
However, Bai Lu did not say that he was the boss.
As the old saying goes, haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run?
Although Bai Lu doesn't often go to the company, he does go occasionally, and he can often hear Wang Sheng and them talk about some business things, and even if he can't remember everything, he can remember some.
"No wonder." Kong Xin was stunned. "Then there's no other way?"
"There is no good way, after all, there are many people in our country, you don't do it, some people do it, and there are many people who are willing to endure hardships, and six or seven thousand a month is not less in our city. And the unit price in big cities is usually higher than in smaller cities, and there are riders who complain, but there are also people who feel satisfied. ”
"Hey......" Kong Xin sighed. If only I had the system that the main character in my novel has. ”
Bai Lu thought to himself, who said no, I also want to have it, after all, the crossing and the system are inseparable in the novel, how come he doesn't have it.
With Bai Lu's many years of experience in reading novels, I feel that it is very likely that he is also systematic, but it may be because his "birthplace" is a swimming pool, and the system is broken by blisters.
But then again, things like systems are supposed to be ultra-high-tech products, not even things of this dimension, and people's 100-dollar elderly machines are fine when they fall into the water, so high technology can be broken?
Therefore, Bai Lu felt that there might be a delay, and the delay was quite large, after all, the distance between planets was measured in light years.
Maybe when he is seventy or eighty, lying on a hospital bed, his whole body is full of tubes, and the day when he has more air out and less air intake, there will be a "ding" sound in his head, indicating that the system has been successfully bound.
Bai Lu sat there with his mind open, Kong Xin got up to leave, saying that listening to Bai Lu's words gave him a lot of inspiration, and he wanted to go back and check the information and write a new novel about urban business warfare.
"You know a lot." Zhang Xiao ate skewers and drank beer. "What if you say what you just said, if you do it at your house? Your family is rich, but can't you do it? ”
"You can't compare it like that." Bai Lu said hesitantly. "If our family is going to do it, then what are we competing with them? Wouldn't it be okay to buy it all? ”
Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then gave a thumbs up: "I admire you for this, others are bragging when they say this kind of thing, I believe it when you say it, because you will really do it." After a pause, Zhang Xiao scratched his head. Then you're not worried about becoming an industry monopoly? ”
"What's the matter, I acquired two platforms, and I didn't say a merger, so at this time, the price will not be unified."
"Damn, in the end, I was born in a capitalist family, and my brain is spinning fast."
"Your uncle's." Bai Lu scolded with a smile. "Do you praise me or scold me?"
"Praise you." Zhang Xiao said. "Although it is said that capitalists should be hung on street lamps, but to tell the truth, between being poor and being hung on street lamps, I would rather choose to hang street lamps."
"But then again." Zhang Xiao took a sip of wine. "Don't you want to try to compete with these two takeaways according to Brother Kong's idea?"
"Am I crazy?" Bai Lu was speechless. "Okay, what am I competing with them?"
"Yes, it's not necessary."
As he was talking, Bai Lu's mobile phone rang, and after taking a look, it was a prompt from the live broadcast platform, and the anchors who had followed him would give a prompt when they went online.
Bai Lu took a look, it was Chen Liuliu who started the live broadcast, it's very strange, it's almost eleven o'clock, why is the live broadcast started at this time? clicked in and took a look, Chen Liuliu was actually bringing the goods.
Looking at TV, there were still more than ten minutes before the game started, and Bai Lu sent a message to Chen Liuliu in a private message, asking her what was going on.
Chen Liuliu didn't reply, Bai Lu put his phone aside and continued to drink beer and watch the game.
……
The next morning, Bai Lu got up at a normal time, and Zhang Xiao was still sleeping.
The main reason is that Bai Lu was sleepy at half past eleven yesterday, and he went to sleep without even watching the first half, and Zhang Xiao slept after watching the whole game.
After washing, Bai Lu took the mobile phone and took a look, Chen Liuliu replied to him at one o'clock in the middle of the night, and sent a crying expression, saying that he would wait for the daytime to play the video, and he couldn't say it clearly after typing for a while.
Waiting for Zhang Xiao to get up and clean up, the two had breakfast on the side of the road, and sent Zhang Xiao to the gym, Bai Lu sat in the car and sent a video to Chen Liuliu.
The bell rang for a long time, and it was about to hang up automatically, and the opposite side picked up.
"Brother Bai, it's early." Chen Liuliu's face appeared on the screen, and he was still wearing makeup.
"Early." Bai Lu smiled. "I didn't answer for a long time, I thought you didn't get up."
"Got up, just cleaned up the house."
"I saw your reply, I can't tell you what I'm typing."
"Don't talk about it, it's upset." Chen Liuliu wrinkled his nose and sighed. "I thought I was popular, but it turned out to give me so many streams, and it took me a long time to transform into a delivery anchor, and I was annoyed."
"Isn't it enough to make money?" White Road. "I watched it for a while yesterday, the small snacks sold in your live broadcast room are also from regular manufacturers, and the price is quite cost-effective, as long as you don't sell fakes, don't fool the audience, there's nothing wrong with bringing goods, you can make money, and the audience can buy things cheaper, isn't it good."
"I'm afraid that one day the goods they brought to me will overturn." Chen Liuliu was crying. "Recently, the live broadcast industry has been reorganized, but it has suffered heavy losses, so I am holding back my energy to make money back."
Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, co-authoring Chen Liuliu was arranged by the platform to bring the goods, or his pot.
"By the way, Brother Bai, I have something to tell you." Chen Liuliu suddenly said. "Didn't you call for a cleanup of the live streaming industry last time? There is an anchor with goods called a little gopher, do you know? ”
"I think I've heard of it, what's wrong?" Bai Lu couldn't cry or laugh. "I don't carry this pot, even if I don't say it, the country will be rectified sooner or later."
"Ahem, it's okay to follow along." Chen Liuliu said. "This little gopher is the top few anchors with goods, worth more than one billion, because of the country's rectification, he was also investigated, because a mask was found to be a fake, his live broadcast room was blocked, and I heard that it was a loss of seventy or eighty million, not the day before yesterday, he started a live broadcast, and he scolded you in the live broadcast room."
"Wait." Bai Lu was a little dumbfounded. "Wasn't his live broadcast room blocked? How to start a live broadcast? And what did he scold me for? He was fined for selling fakes and lost money, what does it have to do with me? ”
"It was said that the live broadcast room was closed for three months, isn't this coming soon, I don't know why it was unsealed in advance." Chen Liuliu said. "Originally, I wanted to tell you yesterday, but yesterday the platform arranged for me to bring the goods, and I forgot about it when I was busy, so I'll send you the video later."
hung up the phone, Chen Liuliu quickly sent a live video of what kind of little gopher he was, he didn't name him in the video, that is, some people are not people, and they will harm them and the little people because they have money, and the rhythm is called a fly, and the most puzzling thing is that there are still people scolding in the barrage.
Bai Lu searched again for the little gopher to be fined and compensated for the seller's mask, and the notice issued by the relevant departments was very perfect, and there was no problem at all. So he couldn't figure it out, what were these people who scolded together and brought rhythm together, what was in his head? Don't you have a basic view of right and wrong? Or is it just a water army invited by the little gopher?
But it is undeniable that the scolding of the little gopher still brought a lot of popularity to the live broadcast, and the reason of the people who supported him was actually down-to-earth. And the Internet celebrity curling iron he brought that night actually broke 100 million sales, which is even more incredible.
Are these people hating the rich or what? Isn't it okay to follow the scolding, how can a curling iron still sell for 100 million, this little gopher is not handsome, and it can still sell so many feminine products?
Bai Lu asked Chen Liuliu for the live broadcast room number of the little gopher, and planned to wait for him to broadcast again at night to see what magic this guy had.
