Chapter 343 Jiang Qin hits a wall
"Jiang Qin went to Hangzhou early this morning."
In a villa in Sheshan Manor in Shanghai, Qin Zhihuan came to his cousin's house as a guest and reported Jiang Qin's move to Hangzhou.
Because Qin Jingqiu had long guessed that Jiang Qin was secretly paving the way for group buying, he was not surprised that he suddenly went to Hangzhou.
If you want to expand the group buying business across the country, then solving the problem of online payment is a mountain that cannot be bypassed. If you have it, you will live, and if you don't, you will die.
Because if online payment cannot be realized, the larger the group buying territory, the more difficult it will be to manage, and the more difficult it will be to complete transactions, and finally it will only fall in Linchuan.
Based on the information Qin Jingqiu has collected so far, there are already quite a few websites doing community group buying, but as long as the group buying websites involve online transactions, they are currently trapped in their starting cities.
What Jiang Qin has to do now is actually to find an opportunity for group buying to break the shackles.
"Zhiheng, you've worked hard these days, eat more."
"Thank you, cousin, and thank you, cousin's husband."
Qin Zhihuan nodded, and ate two more bites of food very obediently. After eating and drinking, he stood up, said goodbye, and turned to leave the villa.
After he left, Qin Jingqiu and Feng Shihua were the only ones left in the restaurant. The two looked at each other and stopped eating.
"I think Jiang Qin's pace is a bit fast." Feng Shihua couldn't help but speak.
Qin Jingqiu was silent for a moment: "Alipay is in a state of panic because it cannot obtain a financial license. This situation is beneficial to Pintuan. Only by negotiating cooperation at this time can they get more promises and avoid being controlled in the future."
Feng Shihua thought for a long time: "Let's not talk about whether the country can recognize and support the existence of third-party tools. Even Alibaba is not easy to cooperate with. They are good at judging people."
"Well, Jiang Qin will definitely hit a wall when he contacts Alipay this time."
Feng Shihua and Qin Jingqiu actually see it more clearly. Pintuan is now trapped in Linchuan. It is too small and may not be taken seriously by the company in Hangzhou.
From their perspective, if there is no relationship with Feng Nanshu, they will not be interested in Pintuan in the short term. This is a matter of vision and pattern.
Jiang Qin's dusty past will most likely return empty-handed.
After all, Alipay has many partners to choose from, and they have the right to pick and choose.
In fact, just as Qin Jingqiu expected, when Sun Zhi met the person in charge who had been in contact, the other party showed little willingness to cooperate.
Group buying, a college student entrepreneurial project, started in a second-tier city. They have contacted at least nine out of ten group buying websites like this.
To be frank, at this stage where third-party financial tools are being strangled, it may be a question whether a group buying website founded in a second- or third-tier city can survive until next year.
Because many Internet companies are like this, they were hastily founded and gambled on an opportunity, but they persisted until they had difficulty in capital turnover and could not wait.
Although Sun Zhi was a health care product lecturer before and had a lot of words, he was really not very useful in such formal business talks, which made him feel that he had the will but not the strength.
"Mr. Sun, thank you for coming all the way here. We are deeply sorry that we didn't reach a cooperation."
"Okay..."
Sun Zhi took the prepared strategic cooperation plan for group buying out of the meeting room, and took a taxi back to the hotel with a depressed expression.
Yes, the first meeting between group buying and Alibaba ended like this, and Jiang Qin did not show up.
Because according to the normal process, Sun Zhi needs to reach a cooperation intention with the other party first, and then he, the boss, will show up and have in-depth discussions with the person in charge of the other company who has the right to speak, and finally make the final decision.
But now that the threshold has not even been crossed, there is no need for Boss Jiang to show up.
On the morning of October 5, three minutes after the first contact was rejected, Qin Jingqiu and Feng Shihua received the news.
Although all this was within their expectations, the faces of the uncle and aunt were still very ugly.
They loved Feng Nanshu very much, and this love naturally extended to Jiang Qin. Seeing their niece-in-law being rejected, they would certainly feel embarrassed.
Feng Shihua sighed: "Jiang Qin is probably in a dilemma now."
Qin Jingqiu did not comment: "Generally speaking, if the result of the first contact is not good, there is no need to meet again for the second time."
"Should we help?"
"Jiang Qin's brain is very smart. If we help and make the other party's attitude change rapidly, he will definitely know the existence of my mother-in-law."
Qin Jingqiu has not figured out how to make a brilliant appearance in front of Jiang Qin, and she doesn't want to be exposed so early.
In her imagination, her appearance will be a very stunning one, the kind that can make Jiang Qin's eyes fly, but what she doesn't know is that a dog like Jiang Qin has already known her existence.
Feng Shihua crossed his arms: "So that's it?"
"Jiang Qin is still young, it's good for his life to be a little tortuous, but it's not a good thing if it's too smooth. If he really wants to go on this road, he should know that this is just the beginning, and there will be more similar problems waiting for him in the future."
"That's right..."
"I hope Jiang Qin won't be too sad now, otherwise my Nan Shu will be sad too."
Qin Jingqiu sighed, then picked up the documents on the table and began to deal with the affairs of his own company. They thought that the meeting between Jiang Qin and Alipay was over.
However, in a hotel in Hangzhou, Jiang Qin gradually fell into deep thought after listening to Sun Zhi's report.
Group buying has been making a lot of waves in Linchuan City, and has been chased by major local brands. It seems like a treasure, which has earned him reputation and wealth. Unexpectedly, once he left Linchuan, his true colors were exposed and he became something that others looked down upon.
But he also understood that seeking cooperation is like this. If you can't make the other party interested, you naturally can't get what you want.
"Boss, when are we leaving? I'll go back and pack my things."
"We'll leave when the cooperation is agreed."
"Ah?"
Jiang Qin leaned on the windowsill and thought for a long time, then took out the notebook from the computer, opened Word, and typed out a line of titles.
Strategic cooperation plan for the Internet era between the Linchuan Municipal Government and the Linchuan business group.
Then typed out a line of subtitles.
Promote the commercial popularization of Alipay in the Linchuan area.
Then, he copied the contents of the group buying strategic cooperation plan intact, modified some paragraphs, and added some content.
For example, a user increment table recently published by Zhihu, and some paragraphs in the previous Linchuan brand first station marketing plan.
The previous content about group buying cooperation was moved to the back by him.
The text content is similar, but after adding, deleting, and changing the order, it instantly becomes a completely new and very different cooperation plan.
Damn, this is the world that is broken and patched up by dogs.
In this document, Jiang Qin has transformed from a founder of a group buying website who struggled to seek cooperation to a representative with a large number of user resources and a large number of business resources.
He didn't want to take out these things at first, because the more things he proposed, the more things he would give out, but there was no way, people looked down on a small group buying, so he could only increase the stakes.
It is true that the group buying group is small, but the users and brands I have in my hands are real.
Jiang Qin typed, and finally stopped and paused: "How much should I give?"
"Ah?"
Sun Zhi was stunned for a moment, thinking that the boss was going to spend money to seek cooperation? This is too humble.
He always thought that the boss was a mighty and unyielding person. Uncooperative? Well, 30 years in the east, 30 years in the west, don't bully the poor young!
In the end, he had to spend money to ask for cooperation, which was really unpleasant.
But doing business is like this. The leap of each stage may be the result of all kinds of humiliation. You want to make money standing up, how can it be so easy.
Three minutes later, it was evening. Jiang Qin gave the new cooperation agreement to Sun Zhi and asked him to send it to the other party's email.
In the following time, the three people in the room kept waiting until the fiery red sky gradually became dark, and the skyline slowly became blurred in the night.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Sun Zhi's mailbox suddenly had a reply, and the content of it made him slightly stunned.
"Boss, they sent a location and said they want to treat you to a meal. Is it convenient for you?"
"It's convenient. I'm just hungry."
"..."
Under the rich night, the main roads of Hangzhou are crowded with cars and people, and various neon colors make the whole city extremely brilliant.
Some people say that the beginning of the night is actually the eve of the long river of time rushing towards dawn. So in a blink of an eye, the stars moved, and the eastern sky gradually showed a trace of fish belly white.
On October 6, the last day of the National Day holiday, Qin Jingqiu got up early and came to the company. After working all morning, he was about to take a rest when he heard the secretary call in and said Qin Zhihuan was here.
"What's wrong, Zhihuan?"
"Jiang Qin left Hangzhou at noon today. He seems to be in contact with Ali, right?" Qin Zhihuan was a little unsure.
Qin Jingqiu nodded: "He went to ask for cooperation, but the situation was not going well. I thought he would persist for a while, but he left the next day. However, being decisive is also his advantage. Seeing that there is no hope, it is really not worth wasting time."
"But as far as I know, they have reached a cooperation."
"Impossible, is your information wrong?"
Qin Zhihuan pursed his lips: "Really, my friend is now in Ali Bar. He said that Jiang Qin signed a contract this morning and received a deposit. Oh, by the way, he also sent me a group photo."
Qin Jingqiu was stunned for a long time, feeling that his brain was a little confused.
Jiang Qin asked for cooperation with the group buying. It was a good thing that he could get it without paying. Why did he receive a sum of money from Ali Bar?
"Where is the group photo? Let me take a look."
"Here."
Qin Zhihuan took out his mobile phone and handed it to Qin Jingqiu.
In the picture, a woman in a blue dress was shaking hands with Jiang Qin, and both of them had bright smiles on their faces.
