Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 636 Sounds the Horn of the Final Offensive

Cheng Yi walked over and gently put his arm around Zhang Lingyu's waist from behind, resting his chin on her neck where it smelled of shampoo.

Zhang Lingyu's body stiffened slightly at first, then relaxed, and she even leaned back, pressing herself more closely into his arms.

She didn't turn around, but simply turned her face to the side, nuzzled his hair with her cheek, and said with a smile, "Awake? You drank so much last night and were up for so long, yet you're up so early?"

"It's getting late," Cheng Yi replied in a muffled voice, tightening his arms around Cheng Yi.

Zhang Lingyu seemed to notice his subtle change in emotion, but she didn't ask anything.

She simply patted the back of his hand that was wrapped around her waist with her free hand and laughed, "Let go, the eggs are going to burn, let me scoop them out for you."

Cheng Yi let go of her hand and watched as she deftly placed the fried eggs and bacon into a plate, then poured two cups of warm milk, filling the air with a milky aroma.

"Go wait at the dining table," Zhang Lingyu said with a smile, nudging Cheng Yi with her elbow.

Cheng Yi, unusually obedient, walked to the dining table and sat down.

Zhang Lingyu quickly brought out breakfast.

Golden-fried eggs, crispy bacon, toasted bread, and even a small fruit salad.

"Just eat this, it's all I know how to make." Zhang Lingyu sat down opposite him, pushed a glass of milk in front of him, and smiled, "Not as fancy as your little secretary's, is it?"

Her tone was natural, even a little teasing, as if she wasn't the one who had been tormented and begged for mercy last night.

Cheng Yi picked up his fork, took a bite of the egg, and surprisingly, it tasted quite good.

He looked up at Zhang Lingyu, who was sipping her milk. The sunlight shone on her face, and her bare face made her look less fierce and sharp than usual, and more gentle.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before?" Zhang Lingyu raised her eyebrows and glared at him, speaking coquettishly.

"Yeah, I think you're getting more and more beautiful." Cheng Yi rarely praised you so directly.

Zhang Lingyu was visibly taken aback for a moment, then scoffed, "Come on, don't give me that. Every time you say something nice, you're hiding something. You're not feeling guilty about what happened last night, are you? Really? Master? You can feel guilty? Let me see what your guilt looks like."

Zhang Lingyu deliberately scrutinized Cheng Yi's face, as if she had just met him.

The faint sense of guilt Cheng Yi felt gradually dissipated under Zhang Lingyu's nonchalant attitude.

Sometimes, he suddenly felt that perhaps Zhang Lingyu was the person who understood him best and was most suitable for him at the moment.

She doesn't demand anything, doesn't pester, is clear-headed and independent, and can handle all his emotions.

From the moment they began their relationship, Zhang Lingyu never asked a single question about Lin Qingyin.

She understands the importance of maintaining a sense of distance and propriety.

Cheng Yi laughed and scolded, "Stop talking nonsense. The reason I was so excited last night was because I was thinking about launching a full-scale attack on Microsoft, so I was a little excited."

"Huh?" Zhang Lingyu looked at Cheng Yi with a complicated expression and asked in surprise, "So you used me as a prank last night?"

"Pfft!" Zhang Lingyu's carefree words caused Cheng Yi to spit out the milk in his mouth.

"Why did you spit it out while you were eating?" Zhang Lingyu quickly grabbed a napkin to help Cheng Yi wipe it.

Cheng Yi wiped his mouth hastily and said, "If you're free tonight, how about we have dinner together?"

Zhang Lingyu looked at Cheng Yi with some surprise and smiled, "Master, are you really alright? You actually took the initiative to invite me to dinner? Sure, you choose the place, I'll pay the bill."

"Okay." Cheng Yi finished his meal and said, "I should go back now. I guess Brother Lin stayed in the car all night again."

"Hmm." Zhang Lingyu got up and took out a brand new set of Chinese-style stand-up collar men's clothing from the dressing room, helped Cheng Yi change into it, and watched Cheng Yi leave the house.

After Cheng Yi left, Zhang Lingyu looked towards the door, her smile gradually softening. She lowered her head, took a sip of her now slightly cool milk, and muttered softly, "Fool."

Cheng Yi returned to the car, where Lin Yongxing was already waiting in the driver's seat. Although he didn't look too tired, the faint bloodshot in his eyes confirmed that he had spent the night in the car.

"Back to the company." Cheng Yi fastened his seatbelt, his tone regaining its usual decisiveness, the tenderness in his eyes completely gone.

Lin Yongxing immediately started the car and drove smoothly out of Ziwei Residence.

It was quiet inside the car.

Cheng Yi stared at the rapidly receding street scene outside the window, his mind racing. He cleared away all the distractions of last night's celebration banquet, Rao Yuan's boldness, and Zhang Lingyu's thoughtfulness, leaving only a clear picture of his business empire and the impending battle.

Back at the Momo Technology Industrial Park, the atmosphere was completely different.

Although the decorations for the victory celebration banquet had not been completely removed, everyone's face showed a greater sense of urgency.

Upon entering the top-floor office, Li Weiwei had already placed the documents that needed processing on his desk, and the coffee was freshly brewed at the perfect temperature.

“President Cheng,” Li Weiwei’s voice was as professional and calm as ever, “There are a few documents that you need to review as soon as possible. Also, as you instructed, General Manager Huang and General Manager Yu are already waiting for you in the conference room.”

"Hmm." Cheng Yi took off his coat and handed it to Li Weiwei, then picked up the top report and read it as he walked.

"Any new developments from Microsoft?" Cheng Yi glanced at Li Weiwei.

"Waters returned to its US headquarters by emergency flight early this morning. Industry analysts believe it's highly likely he's going back to explain the failure of this government and corporate procurement," Li Weiwei reported quickly. "In addition, we've detected a significant contraction in Lianxiang Group's marketing activities, with promotional advertisements already removed in some areas."

Cheng Yi sneered, pushing open the conference room door as he said, "Explain? The arrogance of those old men at Microsoft is ingrained in their bones. They won't believe that Momo's strength defeated them; they'll only think that Waters was incompetent. This bastard is going to take the blame."

In the conference room, core executives such as Huang Wenrong, Yu Sen, and Li Xiang were all seated.

When Cheng Yi entered, everyone stopped talking and focused their attention on him.

Cheng Yi walked to the head seat and sat down. Without any pleasantries, he went straight to the point and said, "We have won a good start in this battle of government and enterprise procurement, but this is just a warm-up. Microsoft has lost tens of billions of dollars in market share and will definitely not let it go. However, the window of opportunity when they are reassessing us and formulating new strategies is our best chance."

He glanced at the crowd and said, "What we need to do next is to clear away all obstacles in the country."

Huang Wenrong, Li Xiang, Yu Sen and the others held their breath when they heard Cheng Yi's words.

"Lianxiang relied on Microsoft's interest-free loans to wage a price war against us in the university market with the Whisper series at a loss. They thought they could drag us down like that." Cheng Yi sneered, "They forgot that when it comes to burning money, they are only backed by Microsoft's charity, while we, Momo, are burning our own profits. We have more confidence and are more willing to go all out."

“Since they want to lose money to gain market share? Fine, we’ll help them lose even more, let them lose everything.” “Li Xiang!” Cheng Yi looked at Li Xiang.

"Yes!" Li Xiang immediately stood up.

"Immediately coordinate with all of Honor and Shenzhou's offline channels, especially the campus agents in various university towns, to free up warehouse space for me and prepare sufficient cash flow. If the cash flow is insufficient, apply to General Manager Huang," Cheng Yi said.

"Starting today, we will launch the [Lianxiang Acquisition Plan]. The first phase of the plan is to buy back all Lianxiang Whisper series laptops on the market at a higher price. If they sell for 2500, we will buy them for 2800; if they sell for 3000, we will buy them for 3300. We will inspect the machines on-site and pay on the spot. The computers we acquire will be branded with our products and sold at a higher price to various Asian countries to make back the money we lost."

"Yes!" Li Xiang replied immediately.

Cheng Yi said, "However, we must also pay attention to the quality of the machine inspection and prevent Lianxiang from taking advantage of any loopholes. We should try to set up a recycling point near the university town in each province and send professional engineers there."

"clear."

"Also, calculate the cost price of Lianxiang Whisper Notebooks and set a maximum buyback price. If it's higher than that, we won't buy it. This will prevent Lianxiang from raising prices to cheat us out of our buyback subsidies. As soon as they raise their prices, you can start aggressively promoting our notebooks."

"Yes!"

“President Zhao.” Cheng Yi looked at Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang immediately looked back at Cheng Yi.

"Use all media promotion channels." Cheng Yi said, word by word, "Give me a full-coverage bombardment of push notifications about the buyback. The title should be eye-catching: Momo Group's gratitude and feedback, high-price buyback of Lianxiang Whisper Notebooks. The content should also be direct. You can discuss the specifics with President Li."

"Okay," Zhao Gang replied quickly.

Cheng Yi looked at Ji Yubing and said, "President Ji, you personally contact all the logistics departments, computer labs, and student union external relations departments of the universities we cooperate with. Under the guise of supporting student entrepreneurship and reducing the burden on students, ask them to help post our recycling posters on campus bulletin boards, at the entrance of the canteen, and downstairs in the dormitory buildings. Use all your personal connections to ensure that every college student can see this information as soon as they step out of the classroom."

"Don't worry, Cheng Yi, I'll handle this personally." Ji Yubing nodded with a smile.

Although Ji Yubing is not a senior executive of Momo Group, he is still considered a part of Momo Group. After all, Momo Group has cooperation with Handong University in many fields, involving technology, medicine, biology and so on.

As the general manager of Handong University Industry Group, Ji Yubing has become the consul general of Handong University stationed at Momo Group.

"General Manager Huang," Cheng Yi said, turning to the God of Wealth one last time, "the cash flow must not be disrupted. The massive amount of cash needed for the recovery must be in place as soon as possible. Try to put stacks of cash on the tables at our agency locations to make a greater visual impact. Arrange for Black Panther Security's armed escort units in various locations to go there to ensure the safety of the agency locations."

“Okay.” Huang Wenrong pushed up his glasses, his expression calm.

Cheng Yi slammed his fist on the table with a dull thud and said, "Alright, let's get started. Within seven days, let's completely collapse Lianxiang's university market!"

Less than three days after the order was issued, a shocking message began to circulate in universities across the country.

[Breaking News! Momo Group is offering high prices for Lianxiang Whisper Notebooks! Bring a purchase invoice purchased within the last seven days and receive an additional 300 yuan on top of the invoice price!]

Huge red posters were plastered all over the notice boards of university cafeterias, dormitory entrances, and teaching building lobbies.

The student union and members of various clubs were eagerly helping Momo's ground promotion staff put up advertisements, and even they themselves were very tempted.

The news immediately flooded the campus network, QQ groups, and campus forums.

In the university sector, Momo Group is virtually invincible.

Whether online or offline, they have achieved almost full coverage.

"Holy crap! Really? You're offering an extra 300 for it?"

"It's an official announcement from Momo, absolutely true! They say it's to express their gratitude to college students."

"Are we grateful to them, or are they grateful to us?"

"Making 300 yuan for free? Of course we should be grateful to them. I just bought a laptop yesterday."

"What are you waiting for, brothers? Charge! If you're too late, Lianxiang's store will be sold out."

The Lianxiang direct sales store in Jingzhou was deserted in the morning, but a group of college students rushed in in the afternoon.

"Boss, do you still have Whisper Notebooks in stock? I need one!"

"I want one too!"

"I need one! Hurry up!"

A salesperson smiled and said, "Would you like me to explain the specific configuration to you?"

"No need, no need, just give me the computer quickly, here's the money." A college student handed the money directly to the salesperson.

The salespeople at Lianxiang had never seen such a generous buyer before. After recovering from their shock, they were overjoyed and hurriedly issued invoices and collected money: "Don't rush, don't rush, we have everything!"

A student named Sun Hao, carrying a Whisper notebook that he had just unpacked and hadn't even warmed up yet, ran with his roommate to the Momo Virtual Equipment Trading Center at the school gate.

Sure enough, a long queue had formed at the entrance of the trading center, with almost everyone holding a brand-new Whisper Notebook.

Although a long queue formed, the line moved quickly.

Momo's staff were extremely efficient. They scanned the serial number of the computer, which was still in good condition, registered the student ID information, and then directly counted out the corresponding amount from the stack of banknotes on the table and handed it to the seller.

"Next!"

Upon hearing that it was his turn, Sun Hao excitedly handed over his computer. The entire process took less than two minutes, and he received the payment.

If it weren't for the restriction that each student ID could only purchase one computer, he would have loved to buy ten or eight.

"This three hundred is like free money, it's so great." He stuffed the money into his pocket, planning to treat himself to a hot pot meal.

A strange, carnival-like atmosphere permeated the campus.

The students seemed to have discovered a golden opportunity for risk-free arbitrage, rushing to Lianxiang stores or computer stores with stock to snap up Whisper Notebooks, and then carrying the laptops to Momo's recycling points like they were transporting spoils of war.

At Momo's recycling point, cash was piled up like a mountain, and the staff counted money until their hands cramped. This visual impact further fueled the students' frenzy.
