Chapter 166: Penguin’s Group Buying Goes Live—Disappointing Data, a Cold Reality Check

Goose City, Penguin Building.

Meeting room.

All the staff of the planning department were present, and Boss Ma sat aside.

The head of the planning department spoke eloquently and reported the planning plan to him.

"First, the user group of Penguin Group must have a certain level of spending power, but these people who are under financial pressure are generally company employees or migrant workers."

Article 2, the Penguin Group's merchant group…"

Article 3. User Promotions...

Article 4, popularity…"

"Boss, this is the plan we came up with!"

Boss Ant nodded, without commenting: "How is the merchant's solicitation going now?"

"The progress is a little slow! Many businesses are not very receptive to being listed on Penguin Group, as they think we are not well-known enough!" explained the person in charge.

"Then how are you going to solve it?" asked Boss Ant.

"I think we need to show greater sincerity and let the merchants bear part of their losses when they put the products on the shelves. After all, these merchants will not give up until they see the rabbit. After we have agreed on the preferential packages, the Penguin Group will pay the first payment!" said the person in charge worriedly.

"Okay! Let's do it! When the time comes, go to the finance department for approval when you need the funds, and just say that I agree!" Boss Ant stood up and said.

"Yes, boss!" said the person in charge excitedly.

The planning department received the order and started to work quickly.

Fortunately, there are only fifty cities at the beginning and the planning department has enough staff, otherwise it would be too late. After all, not everyone has the talent reserve of 2,000 sales elites like Ye Xuan who can mobilize at any time.

Watching his men fly to various cities.

The first day was quite difficult and we basically didn't sign many merchants.

The person in charge was a little anxious and gave them orders that they could appropriately adjust the subsidies given to businesses.

As expected, the effect was immediate and we signed a lot of businesses the next day.

On the third day, Penguin Group signed contracts with more than 100,000 merchants, averaging more than 2,000 merchants per city! The initial costs were also quite a bit.

Once the merchants are settled, Penguin Group can go online.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Penguin held a press conference and announced that the Penguin Group would be officially launched at 12 o'clock!

publicity?

Spend money, spend money, spend money! ! !

Boss Ant is not short of money!

Soon this news spread all over the Internet, and everyone in the streets and alleys knew about it.

...

Baocheng, Mabao Group.

"Boss, Penguin has already released the group buying software. Should we release it as well?" the executive asked Boss Ma.

"Don't worry. We must be careful with Ye Xuan. Last time he fooled everyone into coming in and cheated them. This time we must be even more careful!" Boss Ma said calmly.

"Yes!" the executive responded quickly.

"How are the merchants we've contacted going? How many have been signed?" asked Boss Ma.

"Boss, we have signed contracts with almost 50,000 companies in 50 cities!" replied the senior executive of the planning department.

"Well, don't worry, just wait and see! The quality of the merchant must be guaranteed!" Boss Ma reminded again.

"Understood!" Everyone left, leaving Boss Ma alone.

...

As soon as the Penguin Group came online, it launched a new activity.

One dollar purchase!

Limit one copy per user.

The force is indeed strong, at least several hundred million have been invested!

Penguin Building.

Boss Ant and a group of senior executives sat in the technical department, staring at a large display screen.

The information of the Penguin Group will be updated in real time.

There were only three minutes left until twelve o'clock, and everyone was very nervous.

Time passes by every second.

It soon reached twelve o'clock.

Everyone stared at the big screen, but the numbers on it didn't jump, making everyone think that an accident had occurred.

A minute later, I saw the numbers jumping, but very slowly!

The first hour seemed like an eternity.

Finally, the data was displayed.

Downloads: 10,000 times.

Fortunately, there is no need to register and you can log in directly through Penguin, otherwise the number of registrations would probably be even more touching.

Inside the office, a group of people looked extremely embarrassed.

Especially Boss Ant's face, it seemed to be turning black.

"Boss, this is only the first hour. Maybe it's lunchtime, so no one downloaded it!" The head of the planning department said quickly.

"Well! Just report the following information to me directly! I'll go back first!" Boss Ant said calmly.

"Okay, Boss!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the boss leave.

This information is really too scary. The person in charge of the planning department's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"Ye Xuan, if you hadn't taken the lead, this wouldn't have happened! Wait, I won't give up!" Boss Ant was very indignant.

...

"A-choo!" Ye Xuan was sitting on a chair and suddenly sneezed.

"Who is scolding me!" Ye Xuan said to himself.

The Penguin Group went online today. Ye Xuan didn't even have to think about it. Someone would scold him and he must be Boss Ant. There was only one reason for that, and that was the low download volume and the information of the Penguin Group was not good!

Ye Xuan had already anticipated this result.

Otherwise, why release the rankings in advance?

"This is exactly the effect I want. I want you to surpass me. Let's see if you can surpass me now!" Ye Xuan said secretly in his heart.
