Force me to be reborn, right?

Chapter 523 Meeting Shen Qingning's Father
From a bird's-eye view of the overall situation, Wang Xin's [Mi Tuan] is on the right track.

It is precisely because of this that he can crush his opponents to the ground every time in the decisive round, whether in the group buying field or the food delivery field.

It is very important to take the right path at the beginning.

He follows the orthodox path and uses the orthodox style of play.

Group buying platforms like Dianping, which rely on merchant information accumulated in the early stages, are nothing but evil and unorthodox practices.

When they confront head-on, they will be crushed by Wang Xin’s army of salesmen!
Penguin's two subsidiaries, Dianping and Are You Ele.me, the former started early in the third-party restaurant review business and has accumulated more merchant information, while the latter entered the food delivery field a few years earlier and had a market share in major cities in advance. Both have early advantages.

But he didn't take the right approach, and was still surpassed by Mr. Wang next door!

Even if he doesn't have Ali's support now, he can still have the upper hand when fighting one against two. He is simply bloodthirsty!
There's no other way. You all survived by relying on your early advantages. Wang Xin fought his way to the top in the [Thousands of Group Buying Companies] by killing monsters and upgrading himself among 6000 group buying companies.

His "knife" has drunk blood, and I don't know if your "knife" has ever been sharpened!

This caused Zhang Tao to have nightmares frequently in the past few days, in which he dreamed that his situation was hopeless!

Now he can only burn money and keep asking his penguin father for help.

"It's probably because summer vacation is here, and he went crazy right after the holiday to seize the opportunity." Zhang Tao and people inside [Dianping] all think so for now.

Otherwise it would be too unreasonable. Old Wang, who has always been steady, is now in a very timid state.

What's more, he doesn't have the confidence to keep burning like this!
"I just didn't expect that Cheng Zhu seemed to have guessed it right again?"

Although whether the subsequent development is as he predicted remains to be verified.

But just like this, it already makes people feel a little bit like a god!

"Does he know Wang Xin so well?"

"Or is it that his business sense is just so sharp?" Zhang Tao was puzzled.

On the other side, Wang Xin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, looking down.

A huge rift has already developed between him and Ali.

With no one backing him up, he could only charge forward.

"As long as I can confuse Zhang Tao, that'll be enough," he thought.

"This way, the merger plan between [Mi Tuan] and [Dianping] will be easier to discuss."

Now, he wants to create a thick fog around [Comment], a fog so thick that you can't see your hand in front of you.

He wanted to make it so that everyone could not see the road ahead clearly and dared not move forward blindly.

Now, he is sitting at the poker table, and his approach is to just bet all his chips, and the only thing he is betting on is that you don't dare to follow!
With Zhang Tao's personality, he really didn't dare.

"Stop it, Zhang Tao. You've already gotten enough."

"If you stop now, you will have a lifetime of wealth and glory."

"Stop it! Ah Tao, you can't stop even if the whole place is full of Jackie Chan!" This is the attitude of Cheng Zhu who is hiding in the dark at the poker table.

He is definitely a die-hard fighter and does not want [Dianping] and [Mituan] to merge, at least not under the current situation!

He, the reborn person, has already set off a butterfly effect.

Now, just wait and see how things develop.

"Food is the most important thing for people. In our foodie empire, the takeaway market cannot be described as worth hundreds of billions, but trillions!"

Cheng Zhu chose the 15 period to enter the market, and he must have wanted to get a piece of the pie later.

In the past few days, Zhang Tao has not contacted him yet. He is probably very busy and is still observing the development of the situation.

Zhang Xuhao called Cheng Zhu yesterday, and Cheng Zhu gave Ah Hao a big pep talk!

Be passionate, that’s what we young people should be passionate about!

Fuck you, kill him!

Judging from his temperament, Brother Hao is obviously different from Brother Tao. If given a choice, he would definitely fight to the death.

One word, do it!

At this moment, Cheng Zhu was sitting in his office, holding up his mobile phone, turning on the camera, and fixing his hair.

He will be off work soon, and after get off work, he will go to the Shen family.

Didn’t Shen Guoqiang say that he would invite Cheng Zhu to a family dinner?

Ningning was extremely unwilling and didn't want Cheng Zhu to meet her father at all.

But there is a lively guy at home who starts organizing dinner parties as soon as he returns from a business trip. He is very enthusiastic!
Shen Minglang really wanted to invite Cheng Zhu to his home for dinner.

On the one hand, he felt that the Shen family had gotten on board the big ship of pomelo tea, which was really a great bargain. It was like his cousin had done a huge favor, and it was purely out of the good brotherhood!

In this case, inviting him to dinner at home is a must!

On the other hand, he was looking forward to whether there would be some sparks between Old Shen and his cousin.

Lao Deng, do you dare to fight with my cousin! ?

So, how active is Young Master Shen?

The Shen family's aunt is responsible for buying groceries, but today he insisted on buying groceries himself. He also said that he would cook for Cheng Zhu himself and make one of his specialties - spicy hot pot!
Yes, just buy the seasoning packet, then pour all the messy stuff into the pan and stir-fry it, and that’s it.

But you know what, it's really the food.
Cheng Zhu really doesn't like meeting his parents. After all, he is not a good person.

"But, it's hard to refuse such a kind invitation!" He wanted to laugh when he recalled Shen Minglang's face.

Moreover, he was not the kind of person who was afraid of attending such family dinners, and he even asked his driver Xiao Wang to buy some fruits in advance.

There was no reason for Cheng Zhu to prepare a rich gift when he went to Ningning's house this time. Just buying some fruits as a token of his appreciation would be enough.

To a certain extent, Shen Guoqiang needs to thank the other party for "supporting" his children.

If he brought a generous gift to the other party, the other party would not know how to respond.

At this moment, Cheng Zhu on this side felt relaxed, but Shen Qingning on the other side was extremely nervous.

She didn't know what she was nervous about. Her business partners were coming to her house for dinner. What was there to be nervous about?
But she was a little absent-minded today, and her work efficiency decreased.

"It's all Shen Minglang's fault!" She cursed in her heart.

Your sister was bullied by him again a few days ago, and you kept asking her to come over for dinner. What do you know?
If you don't know anything, you will just mess around!
Originally, Jiang Wanzhou was also invited to the Shen family dinner today.

But as soon as he had a holiday, he couldn't wait to go abroad to investigate the trendy toy market.

Therefore, he couldn't come today and said he would come next time.

Just when she was feeling a little annoyed, there was a knock on her office door.

"Come in." Shen Qingning said after sitting upright.

As a result, the person who pushed the door open was Cheng Zhu.

"Let's go together?" he asked as soon as he came in.

"Let's go later. If you go now, the food won't be ready yet." Shen Qingning glanced at the time.

"It's okay, I can have some tea with Uncle Shen." He was really calm.

Shen Qingning: “.”

"Let's go, get off work, I think you're fine now." Cheng Zhu urged.

Ningning had no choice but to get up and leave the company with him.

All the employees in the company have become accustomed to this scene.

After arriving at the parking lot, the two separated.

Shen Qingning drove her own Range Rover home, while Cheng Zhu took the company's business car.

There might be some drinking tonight and he was too lazy to drive.

Shen's house, kitchen.

Young stepmother Wang Yusan stayed in the kitchen, watching the nanny and her adopted son Shen Minglang busying around.

Shen Minglang kept making a spicy hot pot and it was splashed with hot oil. The nanny asked her to do it, but he refused.

“Just causing trouble.” Wang Yusan said in her heart.

She took a look at the dishes in the kitchen and felt that today's family dinner was quite grand.

Shen Guoqiang also took out two bottles of Maotai 707-year-old from the wine cellar and placed them on the table. Later, thinking that young people might not like to drink liquor, he took out two bottles of Penfolds .

"With this kind of specifications, someone who doesn't know would think it's the son-in-law's first visit."

"And he's the type that's too high for our family to marry." She joked in her heart.

As soon as she thought of this, her cell phone rang and she received a call from Shen Qingning.

"Hello, Ningning." She thought the kitchen was too noisy and walked out.

"Auntie, Cheng Zhu and I are on our way home." Ningning reported.

"Ok."

The young stepmother recalled that the first time she met Cheng Zhu was in Starlight City.

At that time, the young man wanted to rent a shop in the mall and he had to go through her and Ningning's back door.

How long has passed in the blink of an eye?

The company's valuation has already reached 5 billion! "I even suspected Ningning's relationship with him at that time." She smiled, thinking that she was really nosy and sensitive.

"Who would have thought that he is Xiaolu's boyfriend." Wang Yusan thought it was quite interesting.

He walked to the tea room next to the living room and told her husband who was sitting at the tea table: "Ningning called and said Cheng Zhu came with her."

"Got it." The middle-aged old arrogant man nodded calmly.

The tea he brought out today was specially supplied.

I don’t drink this when I’m at home. I only take it out when I have guests.

In the end, Ningning drove the car into the garage first. She didn't go upstairs, but waited for Cheng Zhu to go up together.

The four-seater commercial vehicle soon arrived at the Shen family. This villa was both unfamiliar and familiar to Cheng Zhu.

He came several times but never went in.

"I didn't expect that Xiaolu's family and Ningning's family would come to Ningning's family first." This was something he didn't expect at first.

After entering the house with the fruit, the young stepmother Wang Yusan immediately came over to greet her.

Although the middle-aged old arrogant man did not come to the door to greet him, he did not sit on the main seat in the tea room. Instead, he stood there pretending to open the tea box, then turned his head and said, "Xiao Cheng, you are here."

"Uncle." Cheng Zhu greeted him immediately.

Among middle-aged people, Shen Guoqiang's height of 1.8 meters is considered tall in the south.

The average height of their generation is completely different from that of Cheng Zhu's generation.

Ningning's height is due to him.

And I have to say, although the name Shen Guoqiang sounds old-fashioned, he himself does look a bit old and handsome.

Shen Minglang looks similar to him, but it seems that he only inherited his shortcomings, so he is not a handsome guy.

"Come, sit down." Shen Guoqiang pointed to the seat in front of him.

Shen Qingning was a little hesitant.

She didn't know whether she should go to accompany the guests.

Normally, when friends come to visit, she should go and entertain them.

But she felt it was weird.

Anyway, she felt uncomfortable after Cheng Zhu entered her house!

"Ningning, come too." Shen Guoqiang glanced at his daughter.

"Oh." Shen Qingning responded.

But she didn't sit down in the seat next to Cheng Zhu.

The more Cheng Zhu saw her trying so hard to avoid suspicion, the more amusing it became.

For him, this was also one of the pleasures of his visit for dinner today.

"The meal will probably take a while, so let's have some tea first," said Shen Guoqiang.

Cheng Zhu nodded.

After taking a sip, he said, "Good tea."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Minglang's voice came from the side: "Cousin! Tell me! What's good about it!"

He had just come out of the kitchen and was trotting over in his slippers.

"The soup is clear and has neat strips. It tastes refreshing at first, but the aftertaste is sweet and long-lasting. It has a strong taste but is not bitter, and has a strong astringent effect," said Cheng Zhu.

"Huh? You really understand?" Shen Minglang was speechless.

"I don't understand. It's just nonsense, pieced together." Cheng Zhu said.

Shen Guoqiang looked up at his lively son and said in a deep voice, "Sit down."

Shen Minglang immediately sat down obediently.

The middle-aged old arrogant man refilled Cheng Zhu's cup with tea and said as he poured, "You must be very busy recently, right?"

"Well, summer vacation is here. Summer is the best time for milk tea business and also the busiest time." Cheng Zhu replied.

After saying that, he glanced at Shen Qingning and said, "Now thanks to Shen Qingning's help in the company, otherwise I might really be too busy."

Father Shen nodded slightly, but Shen Minglang was anxious: "No! What about me?"

Cheng Zhu glanced at him and added politely: "She is in the company. She is outside the company thanks to you."

"That's more like it." The sunny and cheerful boy grinned and was very easy to coax.

He is so tanned now that his teeth seem a little white.

The four of them sat in the tea room and didn't talk about anything serious.

After the meal, Shen Guoqiang asked, "What kind of wine do you young people drink? White or red?"

He first poured himself a small bottle of Maotai Maotai for fifteen years.

"I'm fine with anything." Cheng Zhu didn't care.

"Then let's drink white wine." Shen Guoqiang poured a small bottle for him and Shen Minglang, but did not pour one for Shen Qingning directly without asking.

As he started to eat, Shen Minglang began to vigorously promote the spicy hotpot he made.

Shen Guoqiang took a look and criticized: "It makes the house smell so bad that even the range hood can't remove it."

It is obvious that he is a typical repressive father and he behaves like this in front of outsiders.

Fortunately, Shen Minglang had long been accustomed to it, so he pretended not to hear anything, and only changed from loudly promoting to whispering: "Cousin, eat lotus root! The essence of my spicy hot pot is lotus root."

Cheng Zhu smiled, took a big chopstick of noodles, and felt that it was very salty, but suitable for eating with rice.

After three rounds of drinks, the topic always revolves around grapefruit tea.

Originally, Shen Guoqiang hadn't planned to have a too deep conversation during the meal, but with Shen Minglang, a lively guy, at the table, he couldn't control the rhythm very well.

And this person likes to escalate the topic.

It's a bit like some men who start talking about the world after drinking a little bit of wine, sometimes talking about history, sometimes about the international situation, sometimes about the prospects of the industry.
Somehow the topic shifted from grapefruit tea to the takeout war.

Cheng Zhu interrupted at the right moment: "Qing Ning is now in charge of all work related to the food delivery platform."

"Yes, she mentioned it to me." Shen Guoqiang nodded.

Just when he wanted to find out about Ning Ning's performance in this business, Shen Minglang forcibly "interrupted his spell".

"Dad, you don't know that people like Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao attach great importance to their relationship with us now."

No matter whether Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao knew who Shen Minglang was, they kept calling him "we".

As soon as he got to this point, Cheng Zhu immediately interrupted again: "By the way, I forgot to thank my uncle. Last time, I asked Ningning to tell me that Wang Xin went to Ali."

This inside information is very useful.

It allows him to perfectly grasp the timing and create the most beautiful rhythm!
"It's nothing. I still have ways to find out about such a small matter." The middle-aged old arrogant man waved his hand casually and raised his glass when Cheng Zhu toasted him.

"Huh? Dad, are you giving us the inside information?" Shen Minglang was stunned.

Damn, how come I don’t know this?
My family didn’t tell me, and my cousin didn’t tell me either!

Good, good, good! You don’t take me seriously again!
So I am the outsider!
Shen Guoqiang nodded and said nothing.

Fortunately, this sunny and cheerful boy had a strong ability to digest things on his own. He immediately started to ask, "Dad, do you have any inside information? Did Mi Tuan and Ali break up?"

Good fellow, he wants inside information, not only that, but he wants it to be so inside.
"Can I make a phone call to ask Jack Ma for you?" Shen Guoqiang frowned and looked at him.

Shen Minglang: "Is this true?"

Shen Guoqiang didn't say anything, just looked at him straight.

This forced Ning Ning to ask: "What are you talking about? How can you find out about such things?"

Cheng Zhu looked at him at this moment and said, "It's definitely not a break, but there is definitely some rift."

The complete break between MiTuan and Alibaba occurred after the merger of MiTuan and Dianping.

They haven't even merged yet, so we can only say that there are internal conflicts.

The "battle between two horses" has a long history.

The previous online car-hailing war ended with Penguin's victory.

Ali must be holding back a lot of energy as well.

What’s more, WeChat Pay has now stood up, directly threatening one of Alibaba’s foundations!

Wang Xin went to work with Pony Ma, which was considered a rebellious act in Alibaba.

But group buying and takeout are so important that it’s not easy to just abandon them.

People inside Alibaba still think that this bastard Wang Xin is a little too arrogant because of his favor!
Shen Guoqiang looked at Cheng Zhu and suddenly said, "I heard from Ning Ning that you guessed that Wang Xin would go to Penguin to seek cooperation opportunities?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhu immediately smiled.

This bastard began to say something that frightened Shen Qingning, and she wanted to kick him under the table to make him shut up!

Cheng Zhu said: "Yes, because of this matter, I made a bet with her!"
