Chapter 502
"Brother and sister-in-law, Happy New Year!"
"It's New Year's Day and it's my wedding, how can you come here empty-handed?"
"How is that possible? Do you think I'm like you?" Chen Mo took out a special envelope as thick as a brick from Qi Mengmeng's bag.
Sun Ziwei took it and his hand sank, "It's so heavy, you didn't stuff it with bricks, did you?" He couldn't help but open it and take a look.
It really is a brick, made of gold, at least by the pound.
On New Year’s Eve, since Sun Ziwei had settled down in Beijing, his wedding was also held in Beijing.
Originally, the couple planned to keep everything simple and just invite relatives and friends to get together.
As a result, Sun Ziwei overestimated himself. Firstly, as one of the three giants of a group with a market value of hundreds of billions, he is firmly sitting in the top position and has his own circle of contacts.
Second, even if he agreed, Chen Mo would not agree. After all, he was Chen Mo's only non-blood-related relative in the world.
In addition, his relationship with Chen Mo is a semi-open secret in the industry.
Therefore, Chen Mo invited all the business celebrities in the Beijing circle who had good relations with the other side to watch the ceremony.
The wedding was held in a private manor in Beijing, which was not open to the public, so the media were kept outside.
When the bride's relatives saw Lei Jun, Liu Qiangdong and other business tycoons in person, they were stunned. They finally saw a living person.
Especially when they see the gift lists submitted by these entrepreneurs, they are not measured by money.
In their hometown, they only heard that the man was a senior executive in the Bi'an Group, but they did not expect that these entrepreneurs would not go home for the New Year but come to watch the ceremony instead.
The leader of the Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau volunteered to be the witness of the wedding. When he learned that the witness was the director of the orphanage where Chen Mo and his grandson Ziwei grew up, the leader saw that the old man had an immortal-like appearance and could only watch the ceremony as a guest of honor.
At the wedding ceremony, Chen Mo gave a speech as the man's representative.
"Hello everyone! Today is a day full of joy and happiness. As the representative of the groom's family, I feel extremely honored to be able to stand here and witness the couple entering the palace of marriage.
As the family of the groom, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to all the guests present here. Thank you for coming and adding more warmth and blessings to this wedding.
As an entrepreneur, I know that success is inseparable from planning, execution and persistence. The same is true for marriage, so I would like to send my blessings and expectations here.
I hope that the two newcomers will have a clear vision, work together, work as a team, trust each other, maintain passion, produce something, manage risks, and plan ahead. Uh, sorry, my occupational disease has come back.
Marriage is a long-term "entrepreneurship" and you are each other's best "partners".
Everyone should know that the groom and I are both orphans. I can say that I have watched the groom grow up since he was a child. Of course, for him, the same is true for me!
When I was a child, I was young and naive, and I often needed Vigo to take care of me. In my heart, he is like my older brother.
Today is his big day. After today, besides having a brother named Sun Ziwei, I will also have many more family members!
Finally, on the occasion of the Chinese New Year, I wish you all a happy New Year, and hope you all eat and drink well."
The ceremony was held at noon, without media, and with guests having fun.
In the afternoon, the guests who came to watch the ceremony returned home to prepare for the New Year.
By nightfall, only Sun Ziwei's family and close friends were left in the manor.
Since Sun Ziwei is from the north, even when he got married, he adhered to the idea of keeping everything simple.
Some of the wedding customs are different from those in the south. Before the wedding, a big tent is set up and a buffet is held for three days. Whether or not to have a buffet after the wedding varies according to local customs.
Although there were some unexpected guests at this wedding, it was basically completed in one day.
During the family dinner, the lively Spring Festival Gala was playing on a large screen nearby, and people just listened to the noise.
Everyone ate and drank, the wedding was combined with New Year's Eve, it was very lively, the only drawback was that this year's Spring Festival Gala was not very good.
"Did you notice just now that CCTV's famous speaker still made a mistake in his words? I guess he will be fined 200 yuan~"
"The director should be fired. How did they cut the scene?"
"Nowadays, I can hardly recognize any of these celebrities."
"The Spring Festival Gala is becoming less and less interesting. People in the south basically don't watch it."
The people at the main table, including Lei Jun, Chen Mo, and Liu Qiangdong, were spending the New Year in Beijing this year, so they did not leave in the afternoon and continued in the evening, taking this rare opportunity to chat about things.
Although these people's topics are also about the Spring Festival Gala, their views are somewhat different.
After seeing the CCTV host’s introduction on the big screen, you can open Taobao on your mobile phone to share a total cash prize of 10 billion yuan.
"It seems that Ma has tasted the sweetness of the Spring Festival Gala, as Alibaba is still the exclusive online partner of this year's Spring Festival Gala."
"I heard that this year Taobao spent 3 million yuan to cooperate with the Spring Festival Gala, and then spent another 10 billion yuan to give out red envelopes."
"The key issue is to make the product good. Otherwise, even if the Spring Festival Gala is a joyous one day and the data goes up, it will fall off a cliff the next day, which means you are losing money to gain publicity."
"Xiao Mo's collection of five blessings is still amazing. He spent the same amount of money and did something bigger. Is it still 10 billion this year?"
"Well, 10 billion. There are so many people participating in the lottery that most people can only get two or three pieces this year. But judging from the data, the number of WeChat red envelopes sent and received this year has exceeded 10 billion times, which is enough for Alipay to catch up for a while."
"Why isn't the director of this year's Spring Festival Gala that guy named Ha?"
"He's also surnamed Ha? What happened to the Spring Festival Gala in the past two years because of this guy surnamed Ha? He almost brought down the price of domestic TV sets by himself, and the effect of rectifying the industry by Jun Ge's Xiaomi TV is more obvious."
"I heard that the reason why the chief instructor this time is Feng Kuazi and the language director is Lao Zhao is that they were personally appointed by the higher-ups."
"Alas, there is nothing we can do. It's Chinese New Year, and the whole family wants to have an education class happily."
"Hmm? You know what, this skit about whether to help or not is quite interesting."
"It must be said that Lao Zhao still has some skills."
"Xiao Mo, are you coming to my place tomorrow? Let your sister-in-law cook you two delicious dishes."
"That's great. Tomorrow, I'll bring Meng Meng over. I haven't tasted Sister Tong's cooking for a long time."
At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Chen Mo and Qi Mengmeng returned to their residence.
After enjoying Qi Mengmeng's brain wave massage service, Qi Mengmeng watched the Spring Festival Gala opposite while Chen Mo handled the group's emails.
For someone of Chen Mo's status, he basically has no concept of holidays, and the Spring Festival is almost the same as a working day.
Even if he could give himself a holiday, the to-do items in the system that he needed to confirm would not be reduced out of thin air.
If you handle it a few days later, there may be different results. To put it bluntly, it’s all about money.
So unless there are any special circumstances, Chen Mo will always finish today's work today, even if today is New Year's Eve.
After spending more than half an hour reviewing the system's to-do items, he opened his email again and responded as appropriate. "After the New Year, the online car-hailing policy is expected to be relaxed - Black Rain Consulting"
"Xiaomi air conditioner enters the project, and milestone nodes are arranged synchronously. - Lei Jun"
"A preliminary draft of the feasibility analysis of the cooperation plan between JD.com and Bi'an E-commerce. -- Liu Qiangdong of JD.com"
"Pang Donglai's WeChat payment system is now online. After the new year, Pang Donglai will resume business and can be implemented on WeChat's Zhang Xiaolong's website."
"Ele.me will carry out a rider expansion plan during the Spring Festival, taking the opportunity to occupy the entire first- and second-tier markets" Ele.me Zhang Xuhao
After reading the email, Chen Mo nodded. The idea of this plan was correct. Sometimes, market behavior, like the stock market, is very counterintuitive.
Often when it seems like doing something is the right thing to do, the final result is actually the opposite.
However, it was Li Wu who proposed the plan, and it seemed a bit of a waste of his talent to be a city manager.
Chen Mo replied with a few words,
"We'll see the results after the Spring Festival. If this battle is successful, Li Wu will be the first to be awarded the title of regional manager."
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people on the Internet started to become active, complaining about who lip-synced during the Spring Festival Gala, who had a flop, etc.
The media reported on topics such as Taobao red envelopes, WeChat's five blessings, etc., and who won and who lost.
In the evening, Chen Mo and Qi Mengmeng came out of Lei Jun's house. The two held hands and walked on the empty street to relax.
Soon the two arrived at Lao Wang's Wanda to watch this year's Spring Festival movies.
Every year, the Spring Festival period is a battleground for all the major film makers. This year's Spring Festival period includes "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", "Where Are We Going, Dad", "The Man from Macau", and "Ex-Files".
Chen Mo, who was covered tightly like a thief, was waiting obediently in the corner, and Qi Mengmeng went to buy the ticket obediently.
"Excuse me, which session do you want to buy?"
"Two pictures of Boonie Bears."
Soon, the two of them came to the corner of the last row of the theater.
Normally speaking, "Ex-Files 2" is the most suitable movie for young couples.
The reason why I chose this masterpiece is because Bi'an invested 2000 million in this film "Boonie Bears: The Big Treasure".
Then the theater fell into darkness and the movie began, accompanied by the chattering of the naughty children. Within a few seconds, the logo of Beyond Pictures appeared on the big screen, and Chen Tong's name was prominently listed in the producer column.
Perhaps the movie was too exciting. Amid the children's laughter, Qi Mengmeng in the corner was so excited that her cheeks turned red.
A few days later, Suzhou.
"Mom, did you receive the New Year's goods I bought?"
"I got it, I got it. Look at you. It's not easy to work hard outside. Why are you still buying something?"
"You can't come back this year, just a token of your appreciation."
"What kind of crappy company is this? Why are you asking us to work overtime during Chinese New Year?"
"Oh, the company suddenly got an urgent project. It's better to have a job and make money now than to have no job~"
"That's the logic. Remember to eat on time when you're there, and don't stay up late looking at your phone. If you're tired and don't want to cook, just order takeout and order whatever you like."
"I know~"
Xiao Liu hung up the phone. He was too lazy to cook. The crappy company didn't even have overtime pay, let alone a cafeteria. Everyone basically ordered takeout on weekdays.
When it was time for lunch, she opened Baidu Takeout as usual. After all, Baidu Takeout is a few dollars cheaper than Ele.me on average. It is not easy to work when you are away from home, so you should save as much as possible.
As a result, she found that more than 90% of the stores on Baidu Takeaway were closed during the Spring Festival, except for KFC and McDonald's.
She usually eats a lot from these two restaurants, and it would be a bit unfair to her stomach to eat this during the Chinese New Year.
There are only two food delivery platforms in Suzhou now, besides Baidu Waimai, there is Ele.me. Meituan also has food delivery, but it is not in Suzhou, but it has a site in Nantong.
"Damn it, Baidu is not making money during Chinese New Year. What the hell is going on?"
At this time, several colleagues who were working overtime came over and said, "Didn't you see the news a while ago? Baidu Waimai gave those riders a holiday. The riders all went home for the New Year. Where would the people come from to deliver food?"
Xiao Liu pointed to the phone screen he had just checked and said, "That's not right. How can KFC and McDonald's deliver food?"
"That's because they have their own logistics staff in their store."
"Hey, are you hungry? Can you order? Or how about we eat something delicious and have some sex together~"
"Check if there is Haidilao."
Half an hour later, Xiao Liu's phone rang. "Just leave it at the front desk. Wait for me for a minute. I'll be right down."
Soon, looking at the delivery boy's familiar face and unfamiliar clothes, Xiao Liu asked curiously, "Hey? Aren't you a Baidu Takeout rider? Why did you change jobs?"
The rider sighed, "Baidu is kind-hearted. They worried that we would be tired and even bought tickets to send us home. All other colleagues have left, but I want to make more money during the Chinese New Year. It just so happens that Ele.me is recruiting more riders, so it doesn't matter where we deliver the goods."
"Then you should have made a lot of money these two days."
"How can you say I made a lot of money? I made quite a lot! The unit price is high during the Spring Festival, and the Ele.me platform also has special Spring Festival subsidies. The profit from one order is as much as three orders from Baidu. Oops, I almost forgot, I still have one order, come back and chat!
The young man in blue was full of energy and left in a hurry.
Xiao Liu walked towards the rest room with food and suddenly felt bad. He felt that as a white-collar worker, he could not catch up with the rider who at least got Spring Festival subsidies for working overtime.
After the New Year, I’ll see if Ele.me needs any operations positions and look for opportunities then.
Just like what the guy said just now, it doesn’t matter where you work, as long as the pay is good!
“Have the statistics been compiled?”
"It's out. In first- and second-tier cities, 9% of the takeout market during the Spring Festival is owned by us."
"Give the order. According to the previously established plan, all riders who have run for seven days without any problems will be converted to regular employees, sign formal labor contracts, and become a glorious rider of Ele.me!"
"Roger that!"
Happiness is always so short!
The 2014 Spring Festival passed in a flash. People seemed to have just been immersed in the festive atmosphere for two days before those who needed to return home returned and those who needed to go back to work started working.
After work, people will experience a phenomenon called post-holiday syndrome, which includes difficulty concentrating, lack of interest, low efficiency, and the desire to take a holiday.
As the person in charge of Baidu's food delivery business, Gong Zhenbing was very motivated after the holiday. Of course, this was a reflection of his sense of responsibility as a high-ranking official. He would never admit that it had anything to do with the millions of dividends distributed before the New Year.
New year, new hope. Just when he was planning to continue fighting with Ele.me in the new year.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Gong Zhenbing received a phone call and his expression changed instantly.
He immediately shouted hysterically to the other end of the phone,
"Say it again? What do you mean the rider is gone?"
