After rebirth, I want to destroy my original family

Chapter 257 Speaking the truth while drunk

"Mr. Gu, you are young and promising. We, Mr. Li, must give you a toast."

"Nineteen years old is really amazing. I'll tell you the truth, Mr. Gu. When I was nineteen years old, all I could think about was breasts and thighs, nothing else."

"Mr. Gu, are you sure you don't want to promote group buying to others? It's a pity."

"You all have a rest for a while, and I'll have a drink with you, okay?"

As they pushed the cups and changed the cups, the night was getting darker. Gu Ming showed his face full of drunkenness and bluntly said that he could not drink anymore. Before anyone could continue to persuade him, he fell down on the table with a thud.

Seeing this scene, the bosses sitting in front of the banquet looked at each other, thinking that being so drunk, they should have said almost everything they needed to say, but since he didn't say that he would continue to promote group buying, he probably wasn't. Set off smoke bombs.

So, they are now left with only two options.

One is to take advantage of the government-led opportunity to get on the bus and promote it nationwide with Douyin.

The second is to give up this opportunity and continue to develop conservatively.

There are candidates for both options, and the ratio is about 1/1 and /.

Those who chose to get on the bus believed in Gu Ming's ability and felt that since he announced his plan to promote Douyin in the second half of the year with such great fanfare, it was by no means groundless.

Others have witnessed the two flash swords of group buying with their own eyes and are full of confidence in the group buying project, but they have never seen Douyin’s traffic-draining ability, so they are unsure.

They still look down on the college student market. They always feel that poor students don’t have much money to pay, so even if they get on Douyin’s train, they will get very few results.

"Mr. Liu, what do you think?"

"Let's talk about it at the meeting tomorrow. I can't make up my mind right now."

"Where's Mr. Wang?"

"To be honest, cross-city promotion has always been a very time-consuming and labor-intensive thing. If we do it ourselves, we may not be as good as him. Now that I have this opportunity, I want to try it, whether it is group play or Douyin. .”

"Mr. Zhao, would you like to say a few words?"

"What I make is a high-end brand, with high costs and low prices. However, Zhihu targets the college student market. This group's consumption power is too low and is not our target market."

While he was talking, Gu Ming suddenly raised his head and burped. Then he stood up with his hands on the table and staggered out of the door. On the way out, he almost knocked over a piece of garbage at the door. bucket.

Seeing this, Mr. Liu, Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhao stepped forward to help, but Gu Ming waved his hand and refused.

"I'll tell you a secret."

"What secret?"

“Tik Tok is No. 1 in the world.”

Gu Ming said something mysteriously, and then staggered out of the hotel.

As a result, just as his front foot left, Gao Wantong's back foot arrived. After searching around for a while, he couldn't see Gu Ming. His expression couldn't help but be a little confused, so he found an acquaintance and asked.

Then he realized that Gu Ming had just been toasted by people at the table in turn, and left alone after getting drunk.

Damn it, what about taking turns to toast, it's obvious that they are just pouring wine. Gao Wantong saw through the truth of this cocktail party at a glance.

They couldn't figure out why Gu Ming ignored such a promising project like group buying and insisted on doing Douyin. They were afraid that this project would be a smoke bomb, and they were also afraid that he would choose to pause it just halfway through, so they felt unsure. I want to use the other party's drunkenness to find out.

After all, even if group buying cannot achieve instant online collection and payment for the time being, the potential is not comparable to that of a social network like Zhihu that cannot be monetized.

The more unclear they were about Gu Ming's thinking pattern, the more wary they would feel and the more cautious they would be, always unable to make up their minds.

In their opinion, telling the truth while drunk might allow them to understand Gu Ming's true thoughts.

But if more than a dozen people take turns irritating one person, it really doesn't look like a personnel matter.

Gao Wantong got a lot of benefits from Gu Ming during the reform. In terms of close relationship, he was definitely on Gu Ming's side, so after simply drinking two glasses of wine, he left on the grounds of feeling unwell. Got to the hotel.

The midsummer night was a bit sultry and definitely not a comfortable temperature. Gao Wantong came out of the lobby and got into his car to leave. However, before he even started, there was a knocking sound outside the window.

Before Gao Wantong had time to ask who it was, he found that his car door had been opened. Gu Ming sat in like a normal person and said "Long time no see."

The air was silent for 3 seconds, and Gao Wantong's expression looked like he had seen a ghost.

[Mr. Gu's drinking capacity is not good. He fainted after just a few drinks and almost didn't make it to the women's restroom. 】

[Mr. Gu was drunk and knocked over the trash can when he left. 】

[Mr. Gu couldn't walk in a straight line and almost walked onto the waitress at the door. Fortunately, she hid quickly. 】

The boss's words echoed in Gao Wantong's mind, and when he looked at the carefree man in front of him, he was filled with doubts.

"Aren't you drunk?"

"Getting drunk? That's nonsense. Not a single one of you here can drink. The rim of the cup is smaller than a fucking 1-yuan coin. Who can get drunk? You look down on us Wuhe people too much."

Gao Wantong was confused for a moment: "So you are pretending to be drunk?"

Gu Ming grinned: "They want to know if Douyin is a smoke bomb so they can decide whether to get in the car or not. I also want to know what they are worried about so that they can prepare their speech for tomorrow's meeting in advance, so they think I can listen if they get drunk. When it comes to telling the truth, I also feel that I can only hear the truth when I’m drunk.”

"Damn it, you are a real dog!"

"There's nothing we can do about it. How can an honest person do business? Are all the kuchazi left without being cheated?"

Gao Wantong thinks this sentence is true: "Now that I have drunk and pretended to be drunk, what are you going to do next?"

Gu Ming crossed his arms: "I will try my best to trick them into joining in the exchange meeting tomorrow. I will also ask Mr. Gao to give me a compliment and let them know that being tied to Douyin is definitely not a loss."

"It's okay to cooperate, but what good can I gain?"

"Aren't you going to buy a shopping mall in the next city? I have already prepared the money for you. You can just give me some shares when the time comes."

Gao Wantong was silent for a moment: "You don't want to win unilaterally again, do you?"

Gu Ming's mouth twisted: "I'll give you real money, are you still afraid that I'll trick you?"

"Okay, I've already drawn up the share subscription agreement. Once you have the money ready, we'll sign the contract. But you're about to start nationwide promotion. This is going to cost money. Do you really have any spare money?"

Gu Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled: "The leaders of the city hope that our local brands can rush out together as a team, so they pushed me out as a target, so as long as we are tied together, we will both prosper and suffer. Isn’t it too much for me to spend their money on promotion?”

Gao Wantong was amused by him: "How can you be so confident about spending other people's money? No wonder you can get rich!"

"Mr. Gao, you should know that what I said is the truth. They spend the same money on promotion, but they will never achieve the results I can achieve."

"That's true..."

Gao Wantong was the first wealthy businessman to cooperate with Gu Ming. While others were lamenting the rapid rise of group buying, only Gao Wantong understood that the rise of group buying was absolutely inseparable from the traffic pool fostered by Douyin.

Without this traffic pool, it would be very difficult for group buying to swallow up the market in university towns. It would not be possible without two or three years of effort.

In the same way, if he can get businessmen to join together and invest money in Douyin to provide it with nutrients, then the traffic pool will grow larger and wider, and its scope will become wider and wider.

By then, all local brands can use this traffic pool to achieve nationwide success, just like group buying.

Just like Baihua Valley back then, if it hadn't been for those two bright sword marketing campaigns, it might not have fully recovered yet and would still be struggling to make ends meet.

If 1 plus 1 equals 2, it is not called business. It is considered speculation at best. Only when 1 plus 1 is greater than 2, greater than 3, or even greater than 4, greater than 5, greater than tens of thousands, is it called business.

"Tell me, the city government will hold a meeting tomorrow. How can I cooperate with you?"

"Do you remember that you once commented on me when you were interviewed by a TV station, saying that I have a long-term vision, as if I can predict the future, and always anticipate things that have not happened yet and make adequate preparations?"

Gao Wantong was stunned for a moment: "I have an impression, but how do you remember it so clearly?"

"That was a compliment to me. Can I remember clearly?" Gu Ming's mouth was crooked.

"It makes sense, but what are you talking about?"

"I need Mr. Gao to say this again based on his own personal experience."

After hearing this, Gao Wantong nodded, his expression gradually becoming thoughtful.

He wanted to know when Gu Ming came up with this step. Was it when group buying started to be promoted across the city? Or when he was being interviewed?

If it were promoted throughout the city, then this person would be too scary, because the most difficult thing about doing business is not the momentum to advance by leaps and bounds, but more importantly, the perseverance to retreat bravely.

What if it was him during an interview? That would be even scarier.

Because it is equivalent to him throwing bait and catching fish all the time. You can't figure out what his final purpose is at all.

"Mr. Gao, I'm here. Let's meet tomorrow."

"Alright Mr. Gu."

Gu Mingla opened the door and got out of the car, and walked back to the room on the fifth floor. However, after knocking on the door several times, no one responded. So he went to the front desk to get the spare room card and came back. He found that the little rich woman was already sleeping on the bedside. He was asleep, and at this moment he was mumbling and talking in his sleep, shouting like his own name.

Damn little devil, you are really on the verge of giving birth to a child.

Gu Ming turned off the TV, then took out the next door key card from her pocket, turned around and exited.

Tomorrow's meeting is very important and may determine whether he will be extremely rich in the second half of the year, so he needs to take a good rest tonight to replenish his energy.
