Chapter 59: Negotiation Breakdown! First Meeting with Xiao Ma (3.2K Please Read)
In front of a mid-range women's clothing store in Nanshan Science and Technology Park Cultural Plaza.

"Why don't you throw away your old clothes? Do you want to take them to the Penguin headquarters?" Chen Yansen glanced at Song Yuncheng and urged with a smile.

Clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha. This is absolutely true!
Song Yuncheng, who changed her clothes, lost her youthful and immature look. She wore a white collarless short suit, with her long, soft black hair tied up high, looking fresh and neat. She was completely different from half an hour ago, and now she looked more like a professional.

"These clothes are not torn and can still be worn." Song Yuncheng clutched the handbag, his face full of heartache.

Chen Yansen was speechless, cursing Song Yuncheng in his heart as "stingy". He ignored Song Yuncheng and walked straight to the roadside to hail a taxi.

This mall was not far from the Penguin headquarters. The two got in the car and arrived at their destination in a few minutes.

Looking at the Penguin headquarters building in front of her, Song Yuncheng was full of confusion. She understood that carrying this bag of old clothes would have a negative impact on the upcoming meeting.

Just as she was about to throw the clothes away, Chen Yansen suddenly said, "Master, take this bag to the lobby of the Venice Hotel and tell the front desk that it was left there by a guest from 8688."

As he said this, he took out 50 yuan as a reward and handed it to the driver.

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely help you." The driver took the money and assured with a smile.

After getting off the car, Song Yuncheng followed Chen Yansen silently. What she wanted to say was, "Those clothes are probably not even worth 50 yuan."

"Chen Yansen, thank you." Song Yuncheng looked straight at his back and murmured softly.

Standing at the door, Chen Yansen called the other party and waited for more than ten minutes before he saw a young man of medium build walking slowly towards him.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Liang Youzhi, the channel operations manager of Paipai.com. Welcome to Shenzhen."

Liang Youzhi first introduced himself, then extended his hand to Chen Yansen with a warm attitude.

"Hello, Manager Liang, but isn't it someone from your company's compliance department who asked me to come here?"

Chen Yansen was slightly stunned, his mind working rapidly, and he had a vague guess in his mind, but he did not point it out.

"It's the Compliance Department's arrangement, but the one who really wants to see you is my boss, Zheng Chunbin."

Liang Youzhi said truthfully, then took out two visitor registration cards and motioned Chen Yansen and Song Yuncheng to follow him.

"Oh my god, are you interested in my project, or am I interested in you?"

Chen Yansen felt a little unhappy, but still followed.

At that time, Penguin, relying on QQ with over 1 million simultaneous online users, was unscrupulously preying on the Internet's fish pond. Anything it took a fancy to would be either acquired or copied.

Most of the other parties will look down on a business model like FoxTao, which has a very low ceiling. The only eye-catching thing is probably the amazing fission speed brought about by the 0-yuan price reduction, which arouses the other party's interest.

The three of them walked along and took the elevator to the project building of Paipai.com. With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened and a spacious office area appeared in front of them.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. He is still in a meeting and will come over soon."

Liang Youzhi led the two into the conference room, brought two bottles of water, and said politely.

Chen Yansen said "hmm", and after the other party left, he unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and drank it in small sips.

"We were originally supposed to meet with someone from the compliance department, but now it's someone from Paipai.com. Can our problem still be solved?"

Song Yuncheng asked in a low voice.

"Never mind! Let's take it one step at a time. I think he's probably interested in me."

Chen Yansen touched his chin and said with certainty.

In his previous life, he had never dealt with Zheng Chunbin, but he had heard of his resume.

Zheng Chunbin is a top student from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. He joined Penguin in 2003 and became the director in just three years. As for his current position, Chen Yansen does not know it, but he is probably at least the product manager of Paipai.com.

"You are so shameless." Song Yuncheng muttered.

Chen Yansen smiled but said nothing. He just leaned back in his chair and played with his phone to kill time.

Who knows how long the other party’s meeting will last?

He wasn't one to sit there and stare at the ceiling.

the other side.

Liang Youzhi returned to the office and reported to Zheng Chunbin about his meeting with Chen Yansen.

"Azhi, what do you think of this guy?" Zheng Chunbin leaned back in the boss chair and asked with squinted eyes.

"Mature and steady, not like a freshman." Liang Youzhi gave a brief evaluation.

"Is there anything else?" Zheng Chunbin asked without comment.

"He seems to have guessed what you were thinking." Liang Youzhi said firmly after thinking for a moment.

"Oh? Then I really have to meet him. I admire smart people, especially young smart people." Zheng Chunbin became interested and sat up straight.

He originally wanted to give Chen Yansen a cold shoulder and dampen his enthusiasm so that he could negotiate terms, but according to Liang Youzhi, this tactic might not work.

‘Dong dong dong——’

Zheng Chunbin and Liang Youzhi walked into the conference room one after the other. Although Chen Yansen reacted quickly, Zheng Chunbin still caught a glimpse of his phone interface. This guy was actually playing games.

"Mr. Chen, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zheng Chunbin, the vice president of Paipai.com." Liang Youzhi said with a smile after standing still.

"Mr. Zheng, I've long heard of you." Chen Yansen slowly stood up and shook the other person's hand.

Zheng Chunbin looks to be in his early thirties. He wears a pair of rimless glasses, is gentle and has a warm smile.

"I haven't achieved anything outstanding at Penguin, so Mr. Chen's words of admiration for me make me feel a little ashamed."

Zheng Chunbin responded with a chuckle, his words hinting at something.

"A skilled warrior doesn't necessarily have to achieve great feats. The fact that Mr. Zheng is in charge of Paipai.com's business is enough to show that you are highly valued by Penguin's management. Moreover, seven years ago, you were the product manager for QQ Pets. Who among us born in the 90s hasn't used that product?"

Chen Yansen was not at all flustered and greeted everyone calmly and leisurely.

Zheng Chunbin was stunned when he heard this and looked at Liang Youzhi. Liang Youzhi shook his head slightly, indicating that it was not the information he revealed.

interesting!
Zheng Chunbin invited Chen Yansen to sit down and talk. Perhaps because of his busy business and tight schedule, or perhaps because of his inherent personality, he got straight to the point as soon as he sat down: "Mr. Chen, are you interested in joining Paipai.com?"

"What does Mr. Zheng mean?" Chen Yansen asked tentatively.

"I can give you a 3-1 salary. You will be responsible for the product planning and implementation of Paipai.com in the future, with an annual salary starting at 50 yuan."

Zheng Chunbin was brimming with confidence. In an era where the average monthly salary was 3,000 yuan, the conditions he offered were enough to net a fortune for not only a freshman from a second-tier university but also a graduate from Peking University or Tsinghua University.

In his opinion, FoxTao has little value. The most valuable thing is Chen Yansen. With hundreds of thousands of dollars of capital, he was able to expand the user base to millions in just two months. Chen Yansen is a talent.

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng, for your appreciation of me. But I'm a laid-back person. I don't want to work for others, but I also don't want to be inferior to others."

Chen Yansen suppressed his smile and replied seriously.

Zheng Chunbin was stunned. He hadn't expected Chen Yansen to refuse, so he quickly added, "As long as you produce results, I guarantee you'll be promoted to 3-2 within three years, and there's a chance you'll be promoted to 4-1 later. Your annual salary will start at at least 200 million."

"Mr. Zheng, I just don't like working." Chen Yansen was unmoved and said with a light smile.

As for what Zheng Chunbin said about rising to 3-2 in three years and 4-1 in the future, he didn't believe a single punctuation mark. Zheng Chunbin is not Lao Ma, so where does he get the confidence to make such a guarantee?
It's just that they want to fool him because he is young.

The fact that he was a freshman and had a high school diploma was enough to make it difficult for the Penguins to get him in. Even if he was hired as an exception, he would at most be given a T-2 title. To put it bluntly, he would still be a private.

Not to mention Zheng Chunbin, he would have refused even Shencheng Ma.

What level? You still want to be my boss?

After being rejected twice in a row, Zheng Chunbin said nothing on the surface, but he was furious inside. However, if he lost his temper and walked away, he felt it would be a loss of composure, so he said coldly, "Then I wish Mr. Chen's Fox Tao can one day make it into the top 100 shopping websites."

Chen Yansen laughed when he heard it, thinking to himself, you bastard, you turned against me as soon as I failed to recruit you, you deserve it for making Paipai.com half-dead, you look so miserable, you won't last many years at Penguin.

"Reaching the top 100 is definitely not easy. It won't happen in three to five months. President Zheng, you need to work harder. If you don't work harder, Paipai.com's market share this year won't even be in the top ten."

Chen Yansen couldn't stand any grievance, so he just rushed in the face and started to attack.

In fact, two years ago, Paipai.com still had a 7.2% market share, but this year Vancl's market share has soared, and it is about to surpass Paipai.com.

Lies often do not hurt people, but the truth goes straight to the heart!
Zheng Chunbin didn't expect that the young man opposite him was like a powder keg that could be ignited at any time. Doesn't he know his position in Penguin?
He suppressed his anger and waved his hand at Liang Youzhi: "Azhi, send him out."

After saying that, he stopped pretending and turned around and walked out of the meeting room.

After just two or three sentences, the conversation broke down. Liang Youzhi hadn't anticipated this situation. He gave a dry laugh and kindly advised, "Mr. Chen, you could have been more tactful. Why do this?"

"Manager Liang, I have a good suggestion for you: quit your job as soon as possible. If you want to do e-commerce, go to Ali or Dongfang. Paipai.com is doomed in Zheng Chunbin's hands! In less than two years, Pony will most likely give up on the idea of ​​doing e-commerce himself."

Chen Yansen stood up nonchalantly, straightened his collar, and prepared to leave.

Just then, Ma Wenteng, who was inspecting the work at Paipai.com, passed by the door of the conference room.

Zheng Chunbin left in a hurry, leaving the door wide open. He heard the words "PaiPai.com is a dead end" clearly. He stopped and stood at the door of the meeting room, frowning and asking:
"Who is this?"

In his own headquarters, in his own territory, someone actually cursed his project. Ma Wenteng was extremely angry.

The group's e-commerce business has not made any progress. Not to mention becoming bigger and stronger, it is even losing its original market share of Paipai.com.

Liu Zhiping advised him to give up and shift his strategy to investing in e-commerce platforms in order to obtain huge profits from the development of e-commerce, but he never agreed.

Firstly, he was unwilling to admit defeat, and secondly, he just didn't believe in evil. He even survived the Internet winter in 08, so how could he not handle a small e-commerce project?

When Liang Youzhi saw the newcomer and Liu Zhiping beside him, he quickly greeted them, "Brother Xiao Ma, Mr. Liu, this is Chen Yansen, the founder of Fox Tao."

"Brother Pony, if you think I'm wrong, we can sit down and talk about it."

Chen Yansen grinned, confident and assertive.

Facing Feiyu's important investor in his previous life, he was very relaxed and spoke in a tone as if he was talking to an old friend.

"???"

Ma Wenteng was puzzled. After pondering for a while, he was moved by Chen Yansen's attitude. He waved to Liu Zhiping, and the two walked into the meeting room together.
