Chapter 96
After one round of subsidy wars, Chensu was eventually forced to withdraw due to funding problems.Market competition is cruel. Since Chensu no longer has subsidies to protect it, the market share it finally gained has begun to decline again.At the same time, many group buying websites of the same scale as Chensu have gone bankrupt and closed down one after another.
All this deeply hurt An Chen's nerves.On this day, An Chen was walking aimlessly on the street, thinking about Chen Su's future.
An Chen accidentally looked up and saw that a store on the roadside was being sealed by law enforcement officers.An Chen took a closer look and said, "Huh? Isn't this a group purchase of Luluo?"
An Chen quickly stepped forward and asked the law enforcement officer: "Hello, what happened here?"
"Oh, this group buying store closed down and the company was sealed." One of the staff members replied without raising his head.
"I heard that the owner of this company's villa has been vacated, and the court is preparing to auction it!" One of the staff members walked up and whispered in An Chen's ear.
"Okay, let's go!" After the No. 1 staff posted the seal, he greeted the colleagues around An Chen.
Two staff members left.An Chen stepped forward, bent down, and looked inside through the crack in the door.It was already deserted, and the documents in the office were scattered all over the floor.
An Chen had met the founder of Luluo Group Buying several times, and he was also a young talent. Unfortunately, in this cruel competition, he was ultimately defeated and everything ended up being lost.
An Chen couldn't help but feel scared, and the grief of sharing the same fate arose spontaneously.If Chensu can't find a good medicine again, maybe a few months later, or even a month later, Pothos' today will be Chensu's tomorrow.
As if some force was calling and driving him, An Chen drove around in circles to Xiangshan.As people climbed to the top of the high mountain, An Chen's chest seemed to be burning with a fire, pointing towards the sky, shouting loudly in his heart: "Dad! What should I do?"
At this time, he remembered what his father had said when he was still alive: "You must be upright and upright, and you must not mess up your mind and take the wrong path. A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way." Yes, he felt that since he started his business, he has been doing a lot of work in group buying. During the war, the original intention of starting a business was gradually lost.An Chen remembered someone who said: "We have gone too far and have forgotten why we set out in the first place."
Why did you start a business in the first place?Isn’t it just that I want to use the emerging tool of the Internet to make takeaways? It’s a very simple idea.But later on, the situation became bigger and bigger for some reason, and he was inexplicably involved in the Thousand Regiments War, and got deeper and deeper, until he reached the dilemma he is in today.
"It seems that only by withdrawing from the vicious competition of group buying and returning to the roots of food delivery can we turn losses into profits and gain hope for Chensu's survival."
Thinking of this, An Chen called Meng Chenyu: "Brother Meng, I've thought about it carefully. Chensu will withdraw from group buying, integrate resources, and then only do takeout business. Chensu Group Buying will officially be renamed Chensu Takeaway."
"An Chen, what are you talking about? We should do everything possible to regain market share now. If you choose to quit group buying now, you will only die!" After hearing this, Meng Chenyu roared anxiously on the phone.He felt that An Chen was still too young and could not withstand the pressure and chose to escape.
"No, Brother Meng, you should know why I chose to start a business in the first place. It was to solve the problem of many people having difficulty eating, rather than to join the endless money-burning games. And as far as I know, there are already some specialized businesses on the market. Now that we are an Internet company that sells food, we can use Chensu's influence and the existing front lines across the country to change our strategy and concentrate our firepower on the food delivery business!" An Chen further elaborated on his thoughts.
"Remember, don't make any decisions impulsively. An Chen, where are you? I'm going to find you." Meng Chenyu asked eagerly.
"I'm on Fragrant Mountain now. Brother Meng, I'm not impulsive. I'm more awake than ever before." An Chen replied, looking at the mountains stretching ahead.
"Okay! Just wait for me, I'll be there in a minute." After Meng Chenyu hung up the phone, he drove towards Xiangshan.
An Chen sat on the high Xianglu Peak, looking far ahead at the many peaks, abundant springs and luxuriant trees.This is not only a famous scenic spot, but also a royal garden with a long history and profound cultural heritage.It is not only a place where the Qing royal family hunted, but also a place where the founding leaders of the modern nation once lived and lived.
I don't know how long it took, but An Chen received another call from Meng Chenyu: "An Chen, where are you in Xiangshan? I'm at the foot of the mountain."
"I'm on my way to Shuangqing Villa." An Chen replied.
"An Chen, how about we meet at Biyun Temple." Meng Chenyu said.
"Okay! I'll rush over right now." After An Chen hung up the phone, he walked straight towards Biyun Temple.
After a while, An Chen arrived outside the main hall of Biyun Temple.
"An Chen!" At this time, Meng Chenyu was already standing at the door of the hall, waving to An Chen.An Chen hurried forward to greet him.
"Why do you have the leisure and elegance to stroll around Xiangshan today?" Meng Chenyu asked with a smile.
"To be honest, I have been extremely depressed recently, in order to find a good solution to the morning speed dilemma. I happened to pass by a Luluo Group Buying site at noon, and saw a law enforcement officer putting a seal on the door. I couldn't help but feel sad, and I just arrived. Xiangshan is just a good place to relax." An Chen said while looking ahead.
Meng Chenyu looked at An Chen quietly for a moment, then suggested: "Let's go! Let's go to Biyun Temple. This temple has a history of more than 600 years."
The two walked and chatted.
"Brother Meng, do you still have research on Buddhism?" An Chen asked curiously.
"Buddhism is profound and profound, and I only know a little bit about it." Meng Chenyu replied humbly, "Since the group buying war, I have never had time to visit the temple. Today I just took this opportunity to visit Biyun Temple. Look, there is the Vajra Pagoda in front of you." Meng Chenyu said while pointing his finger at An Chen.
"This pagoda was built in the 13th year of Qianlong's reign. It is the tallest existing Vajra pagoda in the country. It is entirely made of white marble." Meng Chenyu explained.
An Chen saw that the entire tower was covered with reliefs of various sizes such as Buddha statues, heavenly kings, dragons, phoenixes and lions, as well as cloud patterns.
Meng Chenyu took An Chen to pay homage to the major Buddha statues one by one.
"The bodhi tree has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust!" An Chen couldn't help but sigh.
After hearing this, Meng Chenyu asked with great interest: "An Chen also understands Buddhism?"
"I only understand this sentence. I memorized it when I was in high school. I thought it was pretty good, so I wrote it down." An Chen replied with a self-deprecating smile.
"All dharma phenomena are originally conditioned, and the dharma that is conditioned is empty." Meng Chenyu and An Chen came out of the pagoda, came outside the hall, looked ahead, and couldn't help but continued, "Since the group buying war, there are few things that can be said. Thousands of group buying companies have been wiped out in this war without gunpowder. You told me that you want to cut off all Chensu's business, leaving only the takeout business. In fact, I have considered it repeatedly on the way here. From my personal perspective From this point of view, I think there is nothing wrong with your proposal. It is also a way out. But behind me is the entire Zhixin Venture Capital team. Brothers also want to make money and have expectations. In the early stage, we have already made great efforts on Morning Express. After spending so much money, we can only exit after Chensu is listed on the market, so I can't risk the entire Zhixin, Anchen, we have no way out."
"Brother Meng, why do you think that Chensu Group Buying will definitely fail if it turns into Chensu Takeaway? I personally feel that if we don't make a decisive transition immediately, Luluo's today will be Chensu's tomorrow."
"An Chen, to be honest, I have already made a lot of preliminary preparations for Chensu's overseas listing. What I am applying for is the entire group buying business. If we change our business strategy now, everything we have done in the early stage will be in vain." Meng Chenyu said.
"Brother Meng, thank you for everything you have done for Chensu, but one must not forget the original intention. The original intention of my business was to do takeout and solve the problem of people having difficulty eating. Every time when they get off work at noon, white-collar workers in major office buildings People are flocking to the surrounding restaurants, large and small, waiting for a seat for more than half an hour, and there are also many college students who are hungry for whatever reason, but if a professional company delivers... Takeout can solve this problem very well. Although Chensu now also has takeout business, it only accounts for a small part, and it is still in the form of coupons. This is obviously contrary to my original intention. "
"Then what do you want to do?"
"I want to turn my salesperson into a takeout rider, who specializes in delivering takeout and earns money for running errands. This can not only solve the problem of sellers, but also make it convenient for customers to eat. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people. Three meals a day, eating is very important. It's a big need." An Chen walked up to Meng Chenyu and said sincerely, "Brother Meng, I'm really tired of the group buying war. I want to calm down and do one thing well."
Meng Chenyu looked at An Chen's sincere eyes, thought for a while and replied, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with the team before I reply to you."
