Chapter 1735 Shared Bike War (4)
·
Ku Mao
Shang Li was deeply moved by this open letter.
He felt that it was too difficult and too stressful for him to be worthy of any user or employee.
pity……
Users don’t buy it!
In fact, after everyone read this open letter, they scolded her even more harshly!
"Who are you talking to about all this useless nonsense? Pay me back, you bastard!!!"
"Pay back the deposit you owe me first. Also, don't fucking call me little blue man!"
"Why didn't you say you were stressed when you were eating, drinking, having fun and shopping with our deposit?"
"..."
Shang Li's tearful open letter did not suppress public opinion, but made users even more angry.
The number of people requesting deposit refunds has surged day by day, directly to 1.5 million!
Not only is the little blue car in dire straits at home, but it’s not doing much better abroad either.
Originally, many users in developed countries own cars, and their attitude towards shared bicycles is that they can be used or not used.
Now that the little blue car has exploded in China, the chain reaction has quickly spread abroad.
Only with the help of the Foundation to suppress it, this thunder did not explode.
Solomon called Shang Li angrily: "I don't care what method you use, I must suppress the domestic little blue car company and don't allow any more bad news!"
"I have arranged all the listing procedures here. As long as the listing is successful, I will get some good news out, or use funds to operate, I guarantee that the stock price will increase dozens of times in a day!
When the time comes, the foundation will leave first, and you can do the rest as you wish!Understand? "
Shang Li was obedient: "Listen...I understand..."
Shang Li quickly asked the public relations department to send out a public relations release, which probably meant that a refund would be guaranteed.
At the same time, Shang Li summoned people from the business alliances of the five provinces for a meeting overnight.
Shang Li said excitedly at the meeting: “The only way now is to quickly launch a batch of new shared bicycles, and they are more luxurious than Chen Mo’s three bicycles!
Isn’t it a shared electric vehicle?
Then let’s share cars, share BMWs, and share Mercedes-Benz! ! !
I believe that once this move comes out, all those who have refunded their deposits will never want to refund their deposits again.How cool it is to be able to use a car for only 299 yuan, right? "
The members of the Five Provinces Business Alliance all smiled awkwardly, and no one spoke up.
Sharing cars?
299 yuan deposit?
Is this an idea that a human mind can come up with?
How high is the damage rate of shared products? You have been operating shared bicycles for a year. Don’t you have an idea?
If we really get a batch of shared cars, the deposit price must be at least one-third of the car to ensure that the cost is recovered!
Yes, doing this will indeed allow users to temporarily not choose to refund the deposit.
But...who pays for these cars?
Anyway, the people from the Five Provinces Merchant Alliance followed Shang Li, starved for nine meals in three days, and lost an unknown amount of money. Now everyone is just looking at Uranus's face, so they don't fall out with Shang Li.
If they continue to lose like this, I'm afraid they will really have to be forced to fall out.
But Shang Li didn't care so much, and directly named him: "Old Wei, you are a car manufacturer, so you can lend me a 10-unit car first. It doesn't matter if it's cheap, I don't mind it.
After passing this level, I will cash out successfully and I will return all the money to you with interest! "
Wei Jianguo, CEO of Dacheng Motors, twitched his lips.
10 units?
Currently, the total monthly sales volume of Dacheng Automobile is only this amount.
You are so embarrassed to open your mouth like this! ! !
Wei Jianguo smiled and said: "Master Shang, 10 units is too much. Our company only sells 5 units a month. Where can I get you so many cars?"
Shang Li waved his hand: "Okay, okay, then 5 units."
Wei Jianguo: "There are not even 5 units. They have all been taken out. Am I still alive?"
Shang Li: "Then 2 units are for the head office, right? Stop bargaining, you only have 2 units. Lao Chen, Lao Li, and Uncle Wang, each of you will give me 2 units!"
Wei Jianguo and others looked at each other, obviously everyone wanted to give this prodigal son another ride.
Shang Li said with a gloomy face: "Don't forget, I am the son-in-law of Uranus! If you really don't want to buy these cars, you can launch the Five Provinces Business Alliance now! The consequences are at your own risk!!!"
In one sentence, Wei Jianguo and others were made angry and aggrieved.
Wei Jianguo gritted his teeth and said: "It's not impossible to give a car, but it can only be used as a last resort to save life. After all, even if we hand over the car, it will take at least a month or two.
During this period of time, you still have to survive on your own, Mr. Shang.
If we can't survive it, there's nothing we can do. "
Now that things have come to this, Shang Li can only nod in agreement.
However, after the meeting, a member of the Five Provinces Business Alliance named Hu Xin took the initiative to find Shang Li.
"Hello, Mr. Shang, I am Hu Xin, CEO of pp Facai Group."
"Fuck away!"
Shang Li knows what pp Facai Group does. It is an online lending company with a registered capital of only 5 million. Its main business is to absorb deposits, promise high interest rates, and then lend out at a higher level than the interest rate.
To put it more simply and popularly, this is the p2p scammer of later generations.
In the Five Provinces Business Alliance, Hu Xin is not even a formal member, he just bought a spot with money.
Normally, Shang Li would not even pay attention to such a person, lest he lose his status.
Hu Xin grinned and said: "That's it, Mr. Shang, I have a way to help you ease the pressure of returning the deposit."
Shang Li's eyes lit up: "Tell me about it!"
Hu Xin talked eloquently: "It's very simple! Now the Little Blue Car Company has such a large traffic and so many users, but it just can't be converted into profits."
"And our pp has the money to solve this problem."
"We can cooperate!"
Shang Li frowned: "What kind of cooperation method?"
Hu Xin said with a smile: “Forcing users to bundle the pp Money app, and the deposit is refunded to the pp Money account. If you want to withdraw, the user must open a pp Money account to refund.
On my side, I turn the deposit into financial management funds and return them to them within a certain period of time. "
What Hu Xin didn't say was that if you want to get your financial management funds back from him, you must get more than 1 yuan!
In other words, for the 299 deposit, the user has to pay another 9701 yuan in financing funds.
What the user wants is a deposit of 299, while Hu Xin is eyeing more than 9000 funds in the user's wallet.
How could Shang Li not understand this trick? He squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Hu Xin, are you planning on me? It seems that you helped me withstand the pressure of returning the deposit, but in fact, what happened? In the end, the user will have to find me! You are so brave!"
Hu Xin was startled and hurriedly smiled and said: "Young Master Shang, I... I did it out of good intentions..."
"I can consider cooperation, but I want [-]% of the money I make. If you agree, we will cooperate. If you don't agree, I will have your company blocked today." Shang Li said calmly.
Hu Xin's eyes suddenly widened.
……
……
the other side.
As the frenzy of refunding deposits from the Little Blue Car Company began, Gong Zili's business gradually became violent.
At the beginning, Gong Zili was full of confidence.
Because when Little Blue Car Company was valued at 5000 billion, she received investment offers from many companies.
But at that time, Gong Zili felt that the offer was too little.
After all, her factory is one of the top factories in China that specializes in supplying shared bicycles. As the scale of the shared bicycle market grows, theoretically, its market value will also increase by leaps and bounds.
In the second month after Little Blue Car Company acquired Little Yellow Car, Jasmine Processing Factory started a new round of financing, and its valuation once rose to 15 billion. Compared with the cost invested by Gong Zili, the report on the book has already 10 times.
However, before the completion of the new round of financing, Gong Zili did not sell any shares. Instead, she continued to borrow money to expand the production line, and also spent money to acquire surrounding small manufacturers, becoming the number one shared bicycle manufacturer in the country. factory!
According to Gong Zili's vision, as soon as the Little Blue Car company goes public, she will also follow up and go public as the number one manufacturer of shared bicycles. Not to mention how terrible the market value is, it can easily achieve its 1000 small goal. That's it!
However, Gong Zili's dream began to shatter after Chen Mo's three shared bicycle companies entered the market!
The situation of the jasmine processing plant took a turn for the worse, the financing progress was obviously lagging behind, and the new round of financing was finally stranded.
At the beginning, the Little Blue Car Company asked for 1 vehicles a day. After a few days, it increased to 2 vehicles, 3 vehicles, and finally it became as many as they could produce.
Such an incredible surge in orders made Gong Zili inflated. At its peak in the later period, Gong Zili's factory supplied 10 bicycles to Little Blue Car every day.
What should I do if orders surge and production capacity cannot keep up?
Gong Zili obviously didn't want the cake in front of her to fly away.She decided to get on more equipment.
So Gong Zili took a loan of 50 billion to purchase equipment.
At that time, driven by shared bicycles, the price of accessories production equipment was also rising. When Gong Zili started consulting at the beginning of the year, it was 25 yuan per unit. By the time she really decided to purchase it in the middle of the year, it had risen to 50 yuan per unit.
Even so, she invested heavily in equipment.
However, as the number of orders for small blue cars surges, the purchase unit price is also falling rapidly.
The initial purchase price of the little blue car was reduced from 100 yuan to 70 yuan, then to 60 yuan, and finally to 45 yuan.
But what makes Gong Zili feel comfortable is that the Little Blue Car Company has been making payments very quickly, and the factory's business is becoming more and more prosperous.
She never doubted that Little Blue Car Company would collapse.
After all, Chen Mo came up with the shared bicycle business, and Little Blue Car Company is the only company that has successfully stolen meat from Chen Mo!
Although Chen Mo and Gong Ziyuan reminded Gong Zili again and again not to blindly expand or go into debt, and when it was time to cash out, they should cash out and leave the market quickly.
But Gong Zili just didn’t listen!
She wants to prove to Chen Mo that her ability is no worse than Gong Ziyuan!
However, in May, the various changes in the Little Blue Car Company gradually became too much for Gong Zili...
He felt that it was too difficult and too stressful for him to be worthy of any user or employee.
