Chapter 256 Four Hundred Million Yuan, Let’s Play Seriously
If Luo Feng was a capitalist, he would definitely be very relieved at this moment. Unfortunately, he was not.
“Ahem!” Luo Feng coughed twice and interrupted everyone’s hot-headedness. “Actually, I came back this time to invest 400 million yuan in the company…”
The hot-blooded team was silent, as if someone had pressed the pause button as soon as he finished speaking.
Everyone’s gazes gathered on Luo Feng, leaving only shock.
Xie Yan felt like there was a huge rock in his heart. It pressed down and moved for a while, over and over again. His feelings were very complicated. He had always thought that the company was very poor!
With Luo Feng’s money-consuming style, it would not be enough even if his family ran a money printing factory.
Xie Yan knew Luo Feng went to Shanghai to build a headquarters and use money to buy a way out. They would save as much as they could and try not to cause trouble for Luo Feng, so they had never told Luo Feng the real situation with the company in detail.
But In the end, he took the initiative to return and wanted to invest another 400 million?!
Okay…
“However, since our President Xie has spoken, I can’t embarrass him. I agree with all his decisions.” Luo Feng smiled at Xie Yan.
“Um… I might have been a little rash…”
Luo Feng shook his head and patted Xie Yan’s shoulder. He joked with some admiration, “Say no more. Boss Xie is wise!”
Xie Yan had an unbelievable expression. Luo Feng had actually made fun of him as soon as he returned!
Wise? What do you mean by wise? I’m so poor that I have no choice but to tighten my belt!
The two of them actually did not care about that little salary. Luo Feng had always objected to any suffering that his employees had to go through. Xie Yan was a rich second-generation heir. If Luo Feng did not return this time, he might have gone home to borrow some money from his father.
However, there was no need for that now!
Even though the money was not much, Xie Yan felt that it was his salary and he should want it.
On the other hand, Luo Feng wanted to clean up the atmosphere of the company. He did not want them to give up when they encountered something. They would only be a qualified worker if he worked hard to fleece the company!
The two of them bickered for a while, and the atmosphere in the office instantly became lively.
However, there was something that Xie Yan did not understand.
He rubbed his sore eyes and said, “Speaking of which, Luo Feng, why did you endure it for so long since you’re rich?”
It had been almost a month since Are You Hungry started subsidizing crazily. Xie Yan did not believe that Luo Feng had gone to raise money during this period of time. With his understanding of his boss, Luo Feng must have other reasons.
Luo Feng smiled. “What if Bezos escape If I attack too early?”
Luo Feng naturally had to wait for such a rich and imposing opponent to go deeper before he could reap more profits.
“Huh?” Xie Yan did not understand. “Boss, are you alright?”
Xie Yan and the employees of Gathering Sift were not the only ones who could not understand Luo Feng’s intentions. Zhang Chuan was in the same boat.
For the first two weeks, he was in a good mood. It was like racing on an empty road and seeing his opponent pedaling along the street.
The difference was obvious and he was confident of winning. After obtaining Bezos’ investment, his mood improved.
Are You Hungry had done a good job in providing subsidies, and the market feedback was very good.
Zhang Chuan watched as Gather Sift Takeaway became weaker and weaker day by day. It was about to die. In the end, bad news came before Zhang Chuan could be happy for two days. “What? You said that Gather Sift Takeaway has also begun to give subsidies?” Zhang Chuan stood up and questioned the assistant in front of him sternly.
The assistant trembled. “Yes… Look at their webpage.”
Zhang Chuan opened the homepage of Gather Sift Takeaway in a panic and looked up with a string of red words. “11 yuan off orders above 20 yuan!”
It was one yuan more subsidy than Are You Hungry.
The intention is too obvious! It is definitely on purpose!
Zhang Chuan’s anger instantly burned, but it was quickly extinguished. He sneered and sat down. “Hmph, you overestimate yourself. Don’t you know that we took 100 million yuan from Amazon? How dare you learn from us!” It was good to have a big tree to lean against.
Especially when they were leaning on an enormous tree. Zhang Chuan was filled with confidence and felt that they had already won.
The assistant whispered, “But I heard that….. the boss of Gathering Sift took out 400 million…”
Zhang Chuan’s smile froze on his lips, thinking that he had heard wrongly.
“400 million?” His eyes widened. “Are you serious?”
Which rich daddy is so arrogant?
“There’s no mistake! They sent a notification message to the rider! They said that they have a war chest of 400 million!” The assistant said.
Zhang Chuan’s temples hurt.
Zhang Chuan had already experienced the effectiveness of the subsidy during this period of time. He felt that the entire city was ordering takeaway, and they basically chose Are You Hungry.
Money gave Are You Hungry this feeling of crushing its opponents.
To be honest, it was very satisfying! But if the opponent was richer than this…
Zhang Chuan was so flustered that he could not find his way. Zhang Chuan felt a headache coming on as he kept circling around to think of a way to deal with it. After some thought, he realized that none of them were usable! Strength could not be made up for by hard work after all.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Chuan decided to tell Bezos this news. Amazon was also very confident at first, however, they were still stunned after receiving the call. Bezos repeated, “You’re saying… the boss of Gathering Sift said that he wants to fork out 400 million yuan as subsidies?” Zhang Chuan had never seen Luo Feng in person, but Bezos did. He had not heard of any movements from the Gathering Sift in the past month. Bezos thought that Luo Feng had already worn it out.
Why did he suddenly take out 400 million?
Bezos frowned. 400 million yuan was not a small matter. There should be some news about it. Who could silently give Luo Feng 400 million yuan?
He could not think of a suitable candidate.
Bezos shook his head. The most important problem now was not where Luo Feng’s money came from, but how to deal with Are You Hungry.
He asked, “How much money is there left on the books now?”
Zhang Chuan hesitated for a long time and squeezed out a few words. “It’s almost all gone…” Bezos sighed. Burning 100 million a month was a little fast…
“We wanted to occupy the market faster, so we made the event a little bigger…” Zhang Chuan explained, giving Bezos a reason.
Bezos knew the trick and was not worried about the money.
He knew that this was not a problem with Zhang Chuan, but the market. It was because Luo Feng and the others were far more tenacious than he had expected. Thinking of this, Bezos felt a little embarrassed.
Even though he had told Zhang Chuan to invest with a budget of 500 million yuan in the beginning, Amazon’s money did not come from nowhere. The others in the company would feel heartbroken even if he did not feel heartbroken about burning so much money. However, the 100 million yuan he had invested previously would be wasted if he withdrew his investment.
No way! Moreover, Are You Hungry would be suppressed by Gather Sift Takeaway if they did not invest more now. They would only have a moment of glory if they invested only 100 million…
That would become an investment with no reward. No one could accept it, let alone Bezos, who was a successful businessman. He was not going to take it lying down!
