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

Wu Bo worked tirelessly, negotiating with various merchants. ♟☹ ❻9丂𝐡ยx.ςỖⓜ 🍮🎈

Given the current competitive landscape, it's difficult for him to sign exclusive agreements, and it's unrealistic to expect merchants to be removed from Haotuan.

However, the ability for merchants to coexist on two platforms is a great temptation for them.

Wu Bo proposed two strategies to attract merchants to join the platform:

First, free access to Lashou.com significantly diverts traffic from Haotuan.

Secondly, increase the store's exposure and provide high-exposure promotion for merchants to attract them to join the platform. These merchants need to experience the benefits of online traffic generation.

"You don't need to rush to give me an answer; our actions go far beyond that."

Wu Bo smiled and placed an invitation down, then explained, "This time we're going to empower businesses, so we can't be stingy. We're holding an offline business exchange meeting in a few days, and I expect quite a few people will grace us with their presence. You can decide then."

The invited merchants looked somewhat helpless upon seeing the invitation.

If he wasn't mistaken—this was a veiled invitation, and he would probably be forced to choose between two options or be forced to take sides.

A pie falling from the sky is indeed a bit too hot to handle.

The business world is like a battlefield, and battlefields are cruel and ruthless. Whether you follow the rules or use any tricks is irrelevant; what matters is defeating your opponent...

So, Wu Bo is killing people with a soft knife?!

This approach is also quite cunning.

Because Haotuan is currently very popular, even with such favorable terms offered by Lashou.com, merchants are finding it difficult to choose between Haotuan and Lashou.com.

However, if many merchants are swayed by Lashou.com and develop a group mentality to try it out together, then if this situation actually occurs…

Good tour groups are really in danger!

After all, making money is the ultimate goal, and no business would refuse cash in hand.

Even if Lashou.com fails, as long as everyone sticks together, Haotuan.com will probably be able to get away with it because of the sheer number of people involved.

This is the survival philosophy of small and medium-sized businesses. Although some may lack business ethics, this is the stark reality.

As for HaoTuan? He actually thinks that HaoTuan does offer an excellent user experience, but that still can't compete with naked profit.

He just couldn't understand why the group hadn't made any moves.

It's supposed to be the leader in group buying, and this is how it is...

Should we surrender without resistance?

……

Li Haoyu glanced around the conference room and saw that everyone still looked flustered. He suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to train the team.

After all, HaoTuan.com has grown increasingly large, and he couldn't possibly manage such a massive organization by himself. 🐼💚 6➈ᔕᝐ�᝕�ᝓ�.᝕�σᝐ� 🍫😲

So Li Haoyu asked, "Those who can attend this meeting are all elite members of good teams. By the way, regarding the competition from Lashou.com, does anyone have any strategies to deal with it?"

After a few seconds of silence, Guan Weiguang was the first to speak, "Boss, I think we should use technology to retain merchants."

"Technical aspects? Could you elaborate?"

Guan Weiguang paused for a few seconds and then said, "Lashou.com is our old rival. It's unrealistic to expect to eliminate them in a short time. Therefore, we should use our technological advantages to accumulate strength in the long-term struggle and wait for the right opportunity to take them down in one fell swoop."

Guan Weiguang smiled slightly, "The technology department hasn't been idle lately either. We've been developing mobile systems, including LBS products integrated with Meituan's group-buying products, as well as IT systems such as merchant management systems (CRM) and MIS systems, which can greatly reduce sales management and labor costs."

Guan Weiguang's suggestion was met with approval from many people, and Li Haoyu also nodded in encouragement.

"Guan Weiguang's suggestion is quite good, showing foresight. Strategically despising the enemy while tactically respecting the opponent is a very good approach."

Li Haoyu's encouraging attitude eased the tense atmosphere considerably.

More and more people are daring to express their own ideas.

Shen Manyu's ideas were much more radical. She hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I think we can keep up with the subsidy war. We have just successfully raised funds, so we still have the advantage in terms of capital and brand recognition."

"Our HaoTuan.com is much stronger than Lashou.com. I think it's better to have a head-on confrontation. Merchants will naturally choose the stronger HaoTuan.com. We can simply defeat and swallow Lashou.com completely and establish our dominant position in the group-buying website market."

Li Haoyu laughed heartily, "That's good, this kind of momentum is good. No matter who our opponents are, I hope everyone has this spirit."

"There's a saying that goes, 'All barbarians, both inside and outside the borders, whoever dares to raise arms shall be beheaded.' No matter who our opponents are, we must have the courage to draw our swords."

Shen Manyu scratched her head sheepishly, "Thank you for the compliment, boss."

With Guan Weiguang and Shen Manyu setting an example, everyone became much more active in speaking, which was exactly what Li Haoyu wanted to see.

The atmosphere changed instantly. At the beginning of the meeting, everyone looked troubled and as if facing a formidable enemy.

However, after some brainstorming and discussion, the tense atmosphere disappeared.

Everyone's fighting spirit was rekindled, and they were full of ambition, ready to make their mark.

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Li Haoyu gently tapped the conference table.

The entire conference room fell silent.

"After listening to everyone's opinions, we've reached at least one consensus: competition is unavoidable. So, how do we win this battle?"

"The cornerstone of group-buying websites is merchants and users. Both sides are important and must be served well. If there is a conflict between the two, we should prioritize consumers. If there are no consumers, merchants will not use our services."

"To put it bluntly, the website invests money to attract merchants, and then uses those merchants to attract users. Putting consumers first will always be our top priority."

Li Haoyu addressed the crowd, saying, "Even if Lashou.com didn't emerge today, competitors like Tuantuan.com and Nuomi.com would have jumped out. My suggestion is that Haotuan.com should find a different path and avoid direct confrontation, allowing the opponent to collapse on its own."

Everyone looked at Li Haoyu with curiosity, and they couldn't help but whisper among themselves about how this "alternative path" could be achieved.

Li Haoyu paused for a moment, then said, "I'm prepared to give up competing with Lashou.com in Shanghai."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

"Boss, why... Shanghai is our base of operations?" Shen Manyun was the first to express her confusion.

Li Haoyu didn't rush to explain. He smiled faintly and then made another decision that puzzled everyone even more.

"It's not just about giving up on Shanghai; we're going to give up competing with Lashou.com in all first-tier cities, including the capital and Shenzhen."

Now everyone was on edge.

Even Huang Qingsen, a die-hard fan of Li Haoyu, couldn't help but question it.

"Boss, you're not serious, are you?!"

The discussion instantly ignited the entire conference room.
