Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Huang Qingsen is reporting to Li Haoyu. 💚💎 6➈𝐬ʰυ𝔵.cỖм ☝👤

Seeing Huang Qingsen's unfriendly expression, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Recently, several group-buying apps have also received funding and started offering subsidies."

Imitators of HaoTuan have emerged.

This was something Li Haoyu had anticipated, but it happened much faster than he had imagined.

Every choice and every action we take can trigger a butterfly effect, large or small, that influences our entire lives.

As the butterfly itself, Li Haoyu felt immense pressure.

He traveled through time and made many big moves, and the people and things around him changed a lot because of him.

The emergence of Bihaotuan will significantly alter the original trajectory of the group-buying industry. Subsidies are rampant, and a massive ground sales force is aggressively expanding…

Countless group-buying apps emerged and rapidly updated, with each new player trying to secure a place in the market.

But the impact goes far beyond that. It is likely that in the near future, various giants will enter the competition one after another, and a new batch of companies will make a strong debut with the support of capital. Every business will become a pawn in the struggle.

Group buying apps on the market are all learning from Haotuan's expansion model, launching aggressive ground promotions, and starting to subsidize users with GG (Google's marketing platform).

Perhaps this is the real world; no one will wait for you to grow up like in novels, and you can just copy a good business model as soon as you see it.

However, Huang Qingsen also brought good news to Li Haoyu.

Many group-buying companies suffer from chaotic and ineffective internal management. ★🎁 ➅➈𝐬𝒽𝕦χ.ℂσм 🐉♝

Many software company founders are unable to maintain control of their companies because their shares are diluted too quickly and excessively. They also lack authority, making it difficult for many of their development strategies to gain approval from investment institutions.

Capital wants to expand as quickly as possible, while management wants to introduce new capital to create checks and balances and regain control of the projects. This leads to numerous conflicts between venture capital firms and management.

"Should we take this opportunity to expand the market further?"

Huang Qingsen was clearly not afraid of his competitors. Despite the intense competition, he was thinking of taking advantage of the fact that his competitors were not yet firmly established and seizing the opportunity to expand his market share.

Li Haoyu shook his head.

While speed is important, stability is also essential.

Even with extensive city coverage and impressive traffic figures, good group-buying platforms struggle to match logistics and management effectively. It's time for the competition among group-buying software platforms to enter its second phase.

Group-buying companies that blindly burn money under the control of capital are simply not worthy of being good competitors.

Huang Qingsen hasn't given up yet. "Even though it's not suitable for large-scale expansion, a good group can't stop moving forward, right?"

"Tell me your thoughts?" Li Haoyu looked at him with some surprise.

He opened the PowerPoint presentation on his laptop and began explaining his ideas.

"I think we can adopt a franchise model. The advantage of this is that we can quickly and easily capture the market by being driven by profits. After we have captured the market, we can gradually convert the franchise to a company-owned business."

Looking at Huang Qingsen, dressed in a suit and tie, Li Haoyu felt very gratified. It wasn't that Huang's proposed method was particularly brilliant, but rather that he sensed Huang's progress and growth.

From a former head of the external relations department who only focused on execution, he is now finally able to think about issues from a holistic perspective.

He's finally starting to look like a proper corporate executive.

Li Haoyu said, "We don't need to rush right now."

Because we currently hold the number one market share.

Everyone knows one thing: group buying is a winner-takes-all game. The industry leader and the second-largest player can both do well, while everyone else can only scrape by and barely survive.

The fastest runner survives to the end and is the winner; everyone else is doomed to die sooner or later. Venture capital firms are not charities; they only think about how to cash out and leave.

Sometimes they are even more anxious than the entrepreneurs, hoping that the company will burn money as quickly as possible to expand its market share. The larger the market share, the higher the company's valuation, and the faster it can generate profits.

Therefore, venture capital firms can sometimes be more aggressive.

Because they don't care about the future survival of the company, they only care about whether another institution will take over.

Li Haoyu said, "The essence of Haotuan is local service, a new model that combines online and offline. And the essence of group buying is to drive and cultivate users' lifestyle habits of using local services."

"To put it simply, the goal is to cultivate user habits."

"These all require operational support and execution. Therefore, our top priority is to build a talent pipeline, establish a reserve talent pool, plan ahead to prepare for talent needs, and form a talent team with different tiers."

"This way we can expand with confidence and boldness in the future."

"Right now we need to recruit outstanding talent as soon as possible. We are located near a university campus, and by leveraging this advantage, we can reach the best graduates in advance."

"Other companies may choose from a wide range of resources, but our company, Haotuan, seeks out talent from all over the world. Ultimately, competition among companies is competition for talent! Talent is the lifeblood of a company."

"How to attract, manage, utilize, cultivate, and retain talent is the most pressing task for our team going forward."

…………

Shen Manyu was a little tired, and her stomach was rumbling, so she closed her notebook.

We still don't have enough manpower...

Fortunately, HaoTuan is currently hiring, which should alleviate a lot of the pressure.

She hadn't slowed down to enjoy a proper lunch in a long time; for her, meals were merely a necessity for work. Lately, Yu Ling had been even busier than her, which meant she'd lost her only lunch buddy.

Since she became a senior executive at a large company, her family has arranged far fewer blind dates for her. It's not that her family has given up, but rather that men often hesitate to pursue her because of her senior management position.

Shen Manyu was naturally happy to agree.

However, many things have changed; she is now called President Shen.

Besides the few old employees from the early days of her business, Shen Manyu had also invited several female subordinates to dinner, but they were all timid and hesitant.

It was difficult for me to open up in front of her, and the scene became quite awkward.

From then on, Shen Manyu rarely did that again.

Oh well, what do I have to complain about?

Compared to her peers who faced unemployment upon graduation, she was already far more fortunate.

She should go and check out this year's job fair.

How would you compensate for your lack of experience?

Shen Manyu glanced at the resume information briefly and asked casually.

Seeing that the interviewer was such a young and beautiful woman, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. He tried to calm himself down and gave his answer according to what he had prepared in his mind.

"It's okay, I can learn."

"...I see."

Shen Manyu thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "I have no more questions."

Soon, the administrative staff led the bewildered interviewee out.

He was unaware that he had already been eliminated by Shen Manyu.

Taking advantage of the gap before the next interviewee arrives.

Shen Manyu said to the human resources manager in charge of recruitment.

"This is the workplace, not school. The idea that you can learn is just a nice wish, and anyone can say that. Such a promise is meaningless to me."

"It's more practical to prove your learning ability than to show a willingness to learn."

"Let the next applicant come in."
