Reborn in 08, a heretical cultivator starting a business

Chapter 192 The Alliance Between Alibaba and Midea? Wang Junshan's Focus Shifts
"what?"

"WeChat users have surpassed 100 million?"

The entire room full of Alibaba executives was completely stunned!

"How is this possible? It's already broken 100 million?"

"How could a social network based on acquaintances be so dominant? How could it possibly reach 100 million users?"

Even Ning Fengze and Zhao Deyu were completely bewildered!

This is illogical.

Jack Ma shook his head: "Nothing is impossible."

"Logically speaking, WeChat has no future as a social networking platform for acquaintances. But WeChat Farm has a bright future!"

"Putting everything else aside, look at Alibaba right now, how many employees are playing 'WeChat Farm'?"

"Not even talking about the employees, how many of you senior executives here are playing 'WeChat Farm'?"

"Do you still need me to tell you?"

"This..." Everyone fell silent.

Yes, the charm of WeChat Farm is too great.

Not to mention other netizens, even many senior executives at Alibaba are playing it.

"Is that so, Mr. Zhao?" Jack Ma asked with a half-smile.

Zhao Deyu coughed lightly, looking somewhat embarrassed.

As the president of Taobao Mall, he's been feeling very stressed and anxious lately, so he plays "WeChat Farm" to relieve the pressure.
"Ahem, I was lured in by Lao Ning. He sent me a link that led me into this trap."

Ning Fengze, the president of Taobao who was gloating across from him, was completely dumbfounded: "!!!"

That damn bastard, he blew himself up!
Damn it, I'm setting an alarm tonight to steal his vegetables in the middle of the night!

We must steal it!
"Chairman, I play 'WeChat Farm' mainly to study its impact and promotion on Vipshop. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

Jack Ma laughed: "Alright, I suppose you've already figured out the results. Write a report for me later."

Ning Fengze was completely bewildered: "..."

Fortunately, Jack Ma didn't take it too seriously.
"The influence of WeChat Farm is self-evident. Even some of our presidents downloaded WeChat just to play WeChat Farm."

"So, is there any problem with WeChat's user base surpassing 100 million?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Yes, social networking among acquaintances has no future, but WeChat Farm has a future.

Wang Junshan, however, was cunning and placed "WeChat Farm" inside WeChat.

If you want to steal vegetables, you have to download WeChat, register for WeChat, and then get your friends, family, and colleagues to register too!
You've already downloaded WeChat and played "WeChat Farm," why don't you check out YouTuan.com?

Why don't you shop at Vipshop?

That place offers brand discounts, everything is guaranteed authentic, shipping is fast, and you even get diamonds back with your purchases!

As a result, I became a long-time user of WeChat, Vipshop, and YouTuan.com because of a game!
Jack Ma spoke in a deep voice:
"The user growth potential of WeChat Farm is already terrifying!"

"After New Year's Day, the joint promotion between WeChat Farm and Little Duck washing machines will give away 1000 Little Duck mid-range washing machines, further boosting this user-driven growth potential!"

"It has attracted a large number of new users, resulting in a surge in the number of WeChat users, Vipshop users, and revenue!"

"Many users who didn't play WeChat Farm before started playing it in order to win 1000 washing machines."

"Many users who didn't use Vipshop before participated in this event also bought products like Little Duck and Little Prince, becoming Vipshop customers and starting to shop on Vipshop."

"Wang Junshan's collaboration seems to be an advertisement for the Little Duck King Returns series, but in reality, it is also an advertisement for Vipshop and WeChat Farm."

"A complete set of combined punches!"

"As a result, many netizens in rural towns who had never heard of WeChat started downloading WeChat, playing 'WeChat Farm,' and shopping on Vipshop."

"Internet cafes in rural towns are packed with people playing 'WeChat Farm' and stealing crops!"

"It can be said that the joint promotion of these 1,000 Little Duck washing machines has led to the rapid expansion of WeChat Farm's user base, extending from cities to towns and officially covering the entire country!"

"That's why WeChat's user base has surged past 100 million and continues to grow rapidly!"

"I see, then Tencent is doomed?"

Everyone became interested and started to speak:
"Wang Junshan is keeping things very secret. No wonder he stopped releasing user numbers a long time ago. He's afraid Tencent will get angry."

"There's no use getting anxious now. QQ claims to have 800 million users, but even after deduplication, the monthly active users are only around 300 million."

"WeChat's 100 million monthly active users have reached one-third of QQ's, so it can be said that the trend has been established."

"It's too late for Tencent to make a move."

"Haha, that'll be fun."

"Previously, Tencent was thinking of investing in YouTuan Technology. In order to maintain the relationship, and also because they felt that social networking among acquaintances had no future, they didn't take WeChat seriously at all."

"Now look what's happened. The investment failed, but WeChat has taken off. I bet Tencent is kicking itself now."

"That must be it. Wang Junshan is too cunning. He fooled Tencent and Baidu as well."

"The monthly active users of Baidu Tieba are probably only around 7000 million now, and it has long been surpassed by WeChat."

"This is a good thing. WeChat has crushed both Baidu and Tencent, which is good for Alibaba."

"Yes, it's definitely a good thing, we're happy to see it."

Seeing everyone's gloating expressions, Jack Ma slammed his hand on the table:
"Are you gloating?"

"Don't forget, our Taobao website only has 1.2 million monthly active users!"

"In other words, WeChat's monthly active users are about to catch up with Taobao!"

Instantly, the entire conference room fell silent.

The smiles on the faces of some of the high-ranking officials had frozen.

I just felt a chill down my spine.

With over 100 million monthly active users, WeChat has not only surpassed Baidu Tieba but is also getting incredibly close to Taobao!
this is too scary!

WeChat's development speed and potential are much faster than Taobao's!

Especially with the user growth of "WeChat Farm", even towns and villages have begun to expand.

this is too scary.

It's only a matter of time before it surpasses Taobao.

And it won't even take two months!

That would be really scary.

"Laugh? Keep laughing!"

"Why aren't you laughing?"

"Is it not funny?"

Jack Ma coldly surveyed the crowd, and they were all amused and annoyed.

"No wonder Taobao Mall was so easily caught up with, surpassed, and crushed by Vipshop."

"With a bunch of good-for-nothings like you who only know how to gloat and hold their positions without doing anything, it would be strange if we weren't crushed!"

Those gloating executives couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to look Jack Ma in the eye.

Everyone knows that this time, Jack Ma is really in a hurry!

"I even guess that the number of users of WeChat Farm has exceeded 90 million."

"And Vipshop's monthly active users have exceeded 5000 million!"

"But Taobao Mall, which is also a B2C platform, only has 600 million monthly active users!"

"A difference of eight or nine times!"

"Don't you think about why Taobao has 1.2 million monthly active users, while Tmall only has 600 million?"

"Why can Vipshop get massive traffic from WeChat Farm and WeChat, but Taobao can't get traffic from Taobao Mall?"

"They don't think about what they should be thinking, and they even gloat."

"You guys are really..."

Jack Ma pointed at everyone, at a loss for words.

Seeing this, Ning Fengze said, "Chairman, in order to promote Vipshop, Wang Junshan hired a spokesperson and did promotions, which also increased Vipshop's traffic and users."

"I suggest that we also find spokespeople and do promotions to increase traffic and users for Taobao Mall."

Jack Ma nodded: "Okay, this money is well spent. It's just that who to hire as a spokesperson and how to promote it are problems. We need to think about this carefully."

Zhao Deyu also spoke up: "Chairman, the joint promotion of 1000 Little Duck washing machines by Vipshop was very successful, causing a surge in users on WeChat, Vipshop, and 'WeChat Farm.' We can learn from that." "For example, we can also find a brand to cooperate with on Taobao Mall and launch a joint promotion, where you can collect cards and win big prizes."

"I think Midea is pretty good."

"The rise of Little Duck washing machines will inevitably have a serious impact on Midea."

“We approached them at this time, and Midea must be very willing to cooperate with Taobao Mall.”

“We’ll provide the platform, and Midea will provide 1000, no, 1500 washing machines. Let’s do this together and surpass the joint promotion between WeChat Farm and Little Duck.”

"In order to win a Midea washing machine, consumers will register on Taobao Mall and become Taobao Mall users."

Jack Ma's eyes lit up: "Great idea, let's do it this way!"

"Old Zhao, you really got your WeChat Farm game working!"

“You should all learn from Lao Zhao. If all of you senior executives were as capable and efficient as Lao Zhao, I wouldn’t have to worry so much!”

"Chairman, it's all what I should do." Zhao Deyu was in a great mood.

If this is done well, the future will be limitless.

But Ning Fengze, the president of Taobao, was not happy about it.

As a formidable competitor, Zhao Deyu's rise to power meant he was no longer needed.

We must find a way to overshadow the other party.

……

That evening, Song Yunhua asked Shen Huaijin to stay in the guest room.

The next morning.

Wang Junshan, along with his parents, visited the National Games Village villa in Jeju once again.

Of course, Shen Huaijin was still driving.

A car full of bodyguards followed behind.

Last time I came, the detached villas in the National Games Village weren't on sale yet.

It's now on sale, but sales aren't great.

“Junshan, you need money everywhere to start your business, why don’t you not buy it? We’re very comfortable living in our current house,” Wang Lingchuan advised again.

Wang Junshan waved his hand: "It's alright, Dad, it won't cost much. If we need money, we can take out a mortgage loan. The most important thing is that you and Mom are comfortable!"

"This...sigh." Wang Lingchuan said helplessly.

"Don't worry, Uncle. With the boss's money-making speed, a villa is nothing."

Shen Huaijin smiled as he parked the car.

The group got off the car chatting and laughing, and headed towards the sales office.

"Chairman Wang, you've arrived!"

As soon as I entered, several real estate consultants surrounded me.

Wang Junshan was somewhat surprised: "Is my fame really that great?"

"Of course, it's been reported on the news several times before, we all know each other."

"Yes, Mr. Wang, you're a star entrepreneur. Which villa do you fancy? I'll take you there right now!"

"Chairman Wang, what's the location of the VIP building like? It's the best location, the best environment, and the safest."

……

Several people spoke up one after another.

At this moment, Marketing Director Chi Liwei walked over:

"Chairman Wang, I'm the person in charge of the National Games Village villa project. Which villa do you like? I'll handle it for you. I have direct access to the highest level of marketing authority, and I guarantee the lowest price for major clients!"

As Wang Junshan predicted, once the economic crisis broke out, villas became difficult to sell.

The original price of 20,000 has now been reduced to 16,000.

Even so, they still didn't sell.

Within half a month of going on sale, eight out of 50 sets were sold.

It's still a small apartment.

The performance targets simply cannot be met.

So much so that even Chi Liwei, the marketing director, stood at the door hoping for a lucky break.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Wang Junshan.

This is definitely a major client!
Anyone who lets them go will be struck by lightning.

More importantly, once Wang Junshan buys a house here, the value of this area of ​​detached villas will increase, making them easier to sell later!
When wealthy people buy detached villas, they're not just buying a villa, they're buying a social circle!
Wang Junshan's move-in will elevate the status of the residents in the National Games Village's detached villas to a higher level!
Even at the lowest price, or even the cost price, it's still a good deal!

I'm treating it all as an investment!

“No problem.” Wang Junshan readily agreed.

The marketing director's authority far exceeds that of a regular professional consultant.

"Chairman Wang, this way please. Let's go directly to the villa site!"

Chi Liwei led Wang Junshan and his group straight to the villa area.

After looking at several properties, Wang Junshan finally chose the penthouse, the most central and safest location.

With a few bodyguards, my parents' safety will no longer be a problem.

"Chairman Wang, this detached villa has an area of ​​800 square meters, and also comes with a 200-square-meter basement, a 120-square-meter attic, and an 80-square-meter terrace."

"As for the price, it was originally 20,000 yuan per square meter, but it has recently dropped to 16,000 yuan per square meter."

"Of course, that's for other people. If you come, Mr. Wang, we'll go for 1.55. That's the lowest price."

"I want two sets. Think about it again," Wang Junshan said calmly.

"1.53."

"Full payment."

Chi Liwei was excited.

I thought I could only sell one unit, but it turned out to be two, and both were sold in full.

That's great.

"Chairman Wang, only 15,000!"

At this moment, Shen Huaijin also spoke up: "Three sets, think about it again."

"???"

Chi Liwei was dumbfounded and looked at Shen Huaijin: "Beautiful lady, you want to buy one too?"

"correct."

"Okay, 1.48 per square meter!"

"Full payment, think about it again," Shen Huaijin said with a smile.

"1.46! That's the lowest I can go; this is the cost price."

"That's the maximum authority I have as the marketing director!"

"Chairman Wang, to be honest, if it weren't for your move-in, which would elevate the entire villa's social standing and make it easier to sell, I wouldn't be able to offer this price; it wouldn't be profitable at all."

Wang Junshan nodded, agreeing that it was about time: "Okay, let's buy it."

Wang Junshan chose two detached villas in the most central location, one for his parents and one for himself.

Shen Huaijin bought another apartment next to Wang Junshan's.

These are all prime locations.

Excluding the 800 square meters of free space, the price per square meter is 1.46 yuan, and the total price is 1168 million yuan.

It's incredibly cheap.

In eight or nine years, it could appreciate to 100 million!
This rate of return on investment is very reasonable.

Of course, when you need money, you can also mortgage it without delaying things.

After spending two more days with their parents, Wang Junshan and Shen Huaijin set off again, heading straight for Binhai City.

Wang Junshan has already planned out the future development of smart homes, and Tang Zhi and others will follow up on it.

Wang Junshan's focus will shift to a series of major projects related to future technologies!
