Chapter 56: Entrepreneurship is a madman’s game

"Did we discuss it?"

Luo Yuanming, vice president of BYD Group, took off his glasses. He had just finished a meeting and looked a little tired.

I originally wanted to take some time to meet the new customers from Shanghai, but the recent sales performance was not as good as expected, and all departments were under great pressure.

I can only wait until the meeting is over and call Ning Tao to the office to talk.

Ning Tao's face was full of confusion. "I guess we have reached an agreement."

Luo Yuanming picked up the thermos cup. Drinking hot water has been his habit for many years. "Tell me about it."

“We didn’t reach a deal on 500 cars.”

Ning Tao spread his hands and said, "We negotiated for 2,000 vehicles, but the production department is not willing to accept it."

"two thousand?"

Luo Yuanming was stunned. "It seems that their company doesn't have so many people."

"Including part-time college students, there are about 700 people in total."

Ning Tao looked very strange, "If someone else said it, I would not believe it unless they took out real money and put it in front of me.
But not only does he have no money, I also don’t think he is bragging, maybe he has more than 2,000.”

Luo Yuanming leaned forward, "Liar?"

"More like a madman! Or maybe there is some key information in it that we cannot understand for the time being, but he has captured it;
Otherwise, there is no way to explain his behavior of expanding the team at all costs."

Ning Tao pressed his temple and organized his words carefully, "Data won't lie. Real money is being poured in. The intention to seize the market is obvious, but where will the profit come from?

By the way, today he provided internal data of another company in Shanghai. It is said that he obtained it when he wanted to invest. It can indeed explain some problems. "

Fanjisong, who was caught in the crossfire, was speechless. It turned out that you didn't invest, but instead set up a competing company, and you even used our internal data as a bargaining chip?

Luo Yuanming also couldn't understand why the impact of the Internet on traditional industries was temporarily limited to the online shopping market.

When it comes to greater business innovation, everyone is still in the exploratory stage. Even venture capital firms that claim to be at the forefront are not optimistic about the industry. How many outsiders have the wisdom to do so?
"It looks interesting, but in reality it's just moving phone ordering to the Internet. The same people are still doing the work, and even if the business volume is huge, there is not much room for profit."

BYD Group is actually very concerned about the emergence of Chimei.

Don't underestimate any mature company's response to the market. If Li Zehua's path works, BYD will surely quickly bet on following suit.

Because this business model is simple and crude, once it is proven feasible and replicated and promoted nationwide, it will greatly stimulate the electric vehicle consumer market.

This is also the first major change brought about by Li Zehua's rebirth. He successfully brought in the electric car company that had nothing to do with the Internet.

Ning Tao was puzzled, “I have consulted several authorities in the investment community, and they are not optimistic about this model;
The previous Fanjisong won the championship of the college student venture capital competition twice, but no one could figure it out either.”

Listening carefully, Luo Yuanming held his chin and thought quietly for a moment, "Make bold assumptions, verify them carefully, and use data to prove the truth!
I'll leave this matter to you, and you must do it well."

Ning Tao was able to sit in this position because of his ability. The fact that he could speak out in front of the vice president has already shown some of his inclinations.

Maybe you can give it a try. You don’t have to do it yourself. You can verify certain results with just one order.

“I have arranged for my colleagues in Shanghai to temporarily recruit staff and prepare to conduct extensive surveys in various university towns within three to five days to verify the authenticity of the data.

Secondly, the test of the food delivery website he mentioned is about to end, and it remains to be seen whether it can achieve the same results as another competitor after it goes online. "

After listening to this, Luo Yuanming tapped his fingers on the table and a rhythmic voice sounded, "Just do as you said. Also, arrange for General Manager Qi from the Planning Department to follow up. You guys should file the data."

At this point, he paused for a moment and said, "This matter cannot be spread out and must be kept secret. This may be a new market growth point."

Ning Tao nodded in agreement. In the past two years, with the ban on motorcycles in various places, the sales of electric motorcycles have dropped sharply, and with competitors pressing forward, Yadi has not had an easy time.

This is also one of the main reasons why Luo Yuanming is interested in Hummingbird crowdsourcing.

Luo Yuanming thought it was quite interesting. He hadn't met such an interesting person in a long time. "Where are the plans for tonight? I'd like to meet this person."

"what?"

Ning Tao was stunned. "Boss Luo, this is not appropriate, right?"

With a wry smile, he said, "Last time, the five of us were drunk by him alone; you are taking Chinese medicine to regulate your body recently."

Luo Yuanming laughed and waved his hands, "You can adjust your body at any time. I have never seen anyone who dares to challenge me at the wine table."

Ning Tao couldn't persuade her, and secretly complained in his heart...

Facts have proved that no matter how high a position one holds, being stubborn will not lead to good results.

Li Zehua has gotten used to it. In his previous life, he weighed only a little more than one pound, but less than two pounds.

Now, I can finish five or six bottles easily without feeling drunk at all. I clink glasses and drink from hand to hand. No matter who toasts me, I just drink it all in one gulp.

After an hour of drinking, I looked around and found that there were not many people who could sit normally in the huge private room.

Before coming here, he who claimed to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, would now lie on the ground snoring;
The iron lady who claimed that she drank liquor like water had already vomited twice while hugging the trash can. I'm afraid she had vomited out all the bitter bile;

Once at a dealer meeting, a self-proclaimed Shandong wine master drank so much that he ran away in panic, already unconscious;
The others were either sleeping soundly on the table or had red faces and were talking nonsense.

Only Yu Li looked at her lover with admiration, and she hadn't finished her two drinks yet.

Ning Tao was much smarter this time. He drank three cups and then pretended to be dead, barely escaping the disaster.

But he would rather be drunk at this time~
Because his immediate superior, Luo Yuanming, was still struggling to hold on.

He was hanging out with Li Zehua, calling him a brother...

That scene was so awkward that I couldn't bear to watch it a second time.

"Little brother, come on, just for what you just said, we have to do it even if it doesn't make money... After it's done, have another drink~ Have a drink."

He can't even speak straight and even persuades people to drink.

Li Zehua was held tightly, unable to break free. He looked around and gave Ning Tao a look for help.
The latter shrugged and said helplessly that he could do nothing to help!

No one could persuade Mr. Luo to stop drinking so happily. He had followed Mr. Dong in the past and had been drinking all over the place, but he didn't expect to end up like this today.

Then I thought, no wonder when we just met, Li Zehua boasted that after tonight, he would no longer be a joke in the company;

Indeed, everyone has become a joke, so naturally no one dares to continue making fun of others.

This is a cold joke!

But when Ning Tao thought that Mr. Luo was also in on the joke, he couldn't laugh at all.

Just die, get up and come up to persuade,
"Mr. Luo, you see everyone is tired today, how about we stop here first and drink next time?"

"That~can't be done, I must...I must drink until my stomach...vomit~!"
