Chapter 1259

Winter goes and spring comes, spring flowers bloom.

Compared to last year, the company was much busier, and personnel were constantly being recruited, expanding at a faster speed.

According to the plan before the New Year, Dong Che Net began to attack the second-hand car market in Beijing, and the first to be handled was the car dealers in Huaxiang.

Where there are people, there is a world. Under Wang Yan's leadership, the car dealership developed rapidly, and others were naturally unhappy. So in the past half year, there were still quite a few troubles.

It seems someone asked online where the hooligans and underworld went, and someone replied engineering, earthwork, small loans, etc., among which was second-hand cars.

This is definitely not absolute, but it is certain that people who do second-hand cars have no culture and no high quality. Most people are a bit arrogant, one by one arrogant.

Wang Yan's greatest transparency in second-hand car transactions was an act of smashing people's rice bowls, and contradictions arose from this.

However, the results were still quite good. Wang Yan communicated with the most arrogant people, sent a few to the hospital, sent a few to prison, and then everyone was harmonious.

It was also because of this prestige, no matter how others scolded Wang Yan for being shameless, hooligan, underworld, having a protective umbrella, etc., the car dealers in Huaxiang were actively cooperating.

The rules were set, of course. Problems with the car didn't have to be written clearly, but major problems could not be hidden, such as accidents, flooding, odometer tampering, etc. It was forbidden to falsely mark prices and lure customers.

At the same time, every car traded by customers coming from the website had to pass through Dong Che Net's testing center, and the contract had to be signed by three parties.

If the car dealer tricked the customer into bypassing the platform for transactions, then they must fulfill the obligation of notification, that is, the platform would not bear the corresponding responsibility, and all problems would be solved by the customer themselves.

In the early stage, the performance of Dong Che Net's second-hand cars was inevitably not good.

Car dealers had to bear the agency fee, and consumers had to bear the testing fee. Combined, the transaction price of a car was higher, and neither side was willing to pay more money. One wanted to make money, the other wanted to save money.

But after being cheated many times, they understood.

As long as Wang Yan continued to develop, the second-hand car market would always be better and more standardized...

There was more than one second-hand car market in Beijing. After solving Huaxiang, Wang Yan personally went out, took Zhu Tou, ran for more than two months, and directly unified the second-hand car market in Beijing.

Just as Wang Yan said before, he took down the big car dealers with strong strength, and the remaining people naturally joined. After all, they had no loss, just finding someone to take pictures of each car and upload it, without them spending money.

It was just whether they gave the commission for the transaction to Dong Che Net later, that was another matter. However, this was not important, because in terms of data, Dong Che Net had taken down the second-hand car market in Beijing, which was enough.

After that, Wang Yan didn't move, but let Zhu Tou lead the team, radiating to the surrounding areas of Beijing, taking down Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, radiating to the three northeastern provinces...

At the same time, Dong Che Net was also actively promoting and adding new users.

Online, Wang Yan specifically arranged a group of people to comment everywhere to show their existence. Before, they were commenting on car-related issues, now they had developed to the automotive industry, the car-related financial market, and even the relationship between men and women buying cars, etc.

Of course, they were not commenting blindly. The quality of these people was still quite high, not uncultured nonsense, but undergraduate graduates, excellent professional grades, and excellent communication skills.

They browsed forums, screened suitable topics, and specifically wrote articles to analyze and evaluate. The purpose was to build professionalism and recognition.

Offline, it was still the eternal ground-push, distributing flyers everywhere to promote.

Professional new car reviews also never stopped. Wang Yan even formed a team after the New Year, photography, lighting, recording, editing, currently there was no need for a director, but there were people specifically writing scripts, specifically writing professional content.

It was still Hua Zi as the host, reviewing a car every week. According to the order of a top luxury car, a luxury car, a B-class car, and an economical family car.

Later, Wang Yan planned to open a column, a program like the famous Top Gear. Invite some professionals to communicate. Or have a passionate off-road, do some outdoor programs, etc.

But that was something for when there was money later, now it was mainly to improve users...

It was also the effort after the New Year, when the internet was booming and running horses to enclose land, venture capital finally smelled the fishy smell and swarmed in.

Dong Che Net had already demonstrated all the conditions that an excellent internet company needed to have: users, reputation, profit model, and a clear development that could be seen at a glance. Currently, what was needed was only money, using money to smash the market. Beat to death those imitators who started to emerge in various places, dominate alone, and then achieve profitability.

Also because Dong Che Net was mature, unlike other companies that were still in the exploration stage, Dong Che Net's valuation was not low. The first round of financing, led by Sequoia, other investment institutions and banks in Beijing, invested 5 million US dollars, taking 20% of the shares. That is, Dong Che Net was valued at 180 million red notes.

Actually, this was low, after all, everyone knew that the consumption power of the Chinese was growing, and they were also optimistic about the economic development of China. Otherwise, where would there be so many foreign capitals making waves in the country.

Cars were the same, the private car ownership in 2006 was less than 30 million, and by 2020, this number was less than 300 million. In fourteen years, it increased tenfold!

Dong Che Net had taken down the second-hand car market in Beijing, a super city with a population of tens of millions, and was spreading outward, and had already successfully done it.

It was just that the money was in other people's hands, no matter how Wang Yan tricked, when it came to paying, everyone sobered up and played hard to bargain.

But it wasn't that Wang Yan didn't trick them well. If not, these venture capitals would have bitten to death two hundred, less than three million. And the shares had to be thirty, very black-hearted.

It was Wang Yan who pulled, gambled with them little by little, and finally reached this result. With this result, it was considered a good thing.

The injection of 35 million funds gave Dong Che Net the power to expand.

After updating the hardware equipment, Wang Yan directly followed the development pace of a normal internet company, opening up the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and Sichuan-Chongqing, opening up the densely populated eastern regions.

As long as these regional markets were occupied, it could almost be said that the second-hand car market in the country was almost unified. After all, in this era, cars were not that common in townships. Those with purchasing power were still in cities, which was determined by the economic foundation.

After that, just gradually cover and sink.

In fact, second-hand car transactions were still completed at the city level. It was not cost-effective for people in townships below to buy cars and enter the city...

In addition, it was using power for personal gain, taking investors' money, and legally paying oneself a salary.

Wang Yan paid himself, as well as Zhu Tou and Hua Zi, 500,000 after tax. Investors had some complaints, but that was all. Wang Yan was the main person who made all this today, the absolute leader, Hua Zi was doing content, sales, equally important, Zhu Tou was opening up the market outside, still indispensable. 500,000 each, what could be the problem.

It was just that this was not the common phenomenon of original shareholders of startup companies eating bran and swallowing vegetables and struggling, but Dong Che Net was extremely smooth, only small troubles, no big challenges, clear goals, clear planning, smooth development, just keep going.

If it wasn't to develop rapidly and grab the market, Wang Yan could support the development of Dong Che Net by selling cars, maybe he couldn't unify the second-hand car market in China, but it was no problem to firmly control the market in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei...

After all, Wang Yan had a lot of work that hadn't been put on, even if many imitators appeared, it was useless, none of them could survive.

Those who learn from me live, those who resemble me die. Others couldn't keep up with his innovation, and drawing a tiger according to a cat plus their own will without any benefit, they played themselves to death...

Time passed day by day, the company grew day by day, and the weather became hotter day by day, and some people couldn't resist the heat in their hearts...

In a high-end residential building, the atmosphere of charm was permeating. Although the windows were opened and ventilated, there was also dryness, which was the throbbing of the heart.

Mi Lai's smooth skin had a layer of thin sweat, her hair was knotted, her fair and tender face was flushed, and her eyebrows were full of comfort and happiness.

Her breathing still hadn't stabilized, and her speech was still quite unstable.

"You really aren't a human, bastard."

Wang Yan calmly puffed a smoke: "You were the one who called me, sent the address, now that you're comfortable, you're coming to scold me?"

"Just scold you, I even want to scratch you."

"You tell me how wronged I am."

"Not wronged, not wronged at all." Mi Lai hummed.

Wang Yan smiled: "It shouldn't be time for vacation yet, right?"

Mi Lai let out a long breath and lay on Wang Yan's chest: "Don't want to study anymore."

"Hmm."

"You don't even ask why?" Mi Lai raised her head abruptly, her face full of unhappiness.

"I'll just assume you missed me, missed me so much you couldn't control yourself, really couldn't control your longing for me, so you came back."

"Really shameless."

Mi Lai lay back down, using her slender fingers to draw circles on Wang Yan's abdominal muscles, "But what you said is really not wrong, I just missed you. I just don't understand, we haven't known each other for long, we only had one relationship, how come I missed you when I was in the United States? That bastard Lu Tao, I didn't even have a single thought about him, you say it's strange, right?"

"Fate has arrived."

"Pah, you didn't think about me at all. Otherwise, how could you have gotten together with Yang Xiaoyun the next day?"

Wang Yan reached out and stroked the big treasure: "You just don't know how to behave, always mentioning Yang Xiaoyun."

"I just want to make you feel guilty, make you feel condemned internally."

"How come you excluded yourself? In common terms, we are dog men and women, you used to scold Lu Tao and Xia Lin like that. Now you are also a part of dog men and women, how does it feel?"

"I'll tell the truth, it feels... a bit... exciting?"

Mi Lai herself wasn't sure, "Anyway, there's a feeling of doing something sneaky and having a guilty conscience. I know it's wrong, but I still want to do it, and then I'm a bit secretly happy. It's over, I'm also a shameless woman. I used to scold Xia Lin, who would have thought, I've become the same as her, completely hopeless, it's all your fault!"

The more she said, the angrier she got, and she punched Wang Yan in the stomach.

"My fault, my fault, all my fault." Wang Yan exaggeratedly sucked in his stomach, looking like he was in great pain, "It's my fault for being too charming, attracting you, my fault for being too good, making you miss me day and night."

"So unreliable." Mi Lai reached out again, annoyed.

The joy of reunion after a long separation was always enthusiastic. Wang Yan and Mi Lai talked about nonsense, the main purpose was flirting.

By the next day, the soreness of her body made Mi Lai sober and satisfied, and she finally had the brain to think about things later. Her thinking was very simple, which was to throw the problem out.

"How do you plan to handle it?"

Wang Yan said with a smile: "You express your attitude first."

"I'm already dog men and women, what attitude should I express?"

"This is the attitude." Wang Yan nodded, "Then let's be dog men and women, maintain this state, and don't destroy it."

Mi Lai looked straight at Wang Yan, without speaking.

"Then there's no other way, I want them all..."

"Go to hell!"

Wang Yan sighed: "It can only be like this. You say if I were like Lu Tao, dumped Xiaoyun, and got together with you, not to mention anything else, can you pass it yourself?"

"Can't pass it."

"That's it. You are both good girls, Lu Tao doesn't know how to cherish, I know how to. Fate has reached this point, no matter who is sad, I won't feel good."

Wang Yan sighed again, "Let's do this for now, you deepen your relationship with Yang Xiaoyun, I'll find an opportunity to show my cards to her, and see what her attitude is by then."

"Fine, big master, I've already done dog men and women, what else can't I do?"

Saying that, Mi Lai flew over, raised her king-eight fists, and started hitting hard.

Wang Yan easily caught her, and seemed unable to withstand the impact, lying on the sofa, letting her do it.

Actually, Mi Lai's state now belonged to making trouble without reason, she was the one without reason. Tracing back the relationship between the two, it was just one night, and talking about now, it was just friends who often made appointments.

She had no reason to express any dissatisfaction.

But this involved feelings, she had true feelings, this was her mistake.

But was this her mistake?

She was a love-brained person, if she was still loving Lu Tao like in the original drama, then she was wrong, and others would feel annoyed when they saw it.

But now she was loving Wang Mou, and others would still feel annoyed when they saw it, but Wang Mou was happy and comfortable, then Mi Lai was right, couldn't be more right...

Mi Lai vented, lay on Wang Yan and gasped: "I must have had bad luck for eight lifetimes, to have known you in this life."

"If I remember correctly, you scolded Lu Tao like that before."

"Now you are even more unlucky."

"Deep love and deep blame, I'll take it as you praising me."

"Shameless."

Wang Yan hugged her and sat up: "Alright, it's been half a morning of skipping work, the company has a lot of things lately, it's time to go to work. You reveal the news of coming back."

"Don't need you to teach me."

"Really turning your face and being heartless, not recognizing people after pulling up your pants. Gone."

Wang Yan patted her butt and got up to leave...

The company's affairs were indeed not few, he had a lot of things to deal with, after all, it was the time of rapid expansion, he had to make decisions, control the scale, and even occasionally go on a business trip to solve problems personally.

Everyone knew to occupy the market, to be in big cities. And now there were imitators, branching out in various big cities, with different scales, outsiders wanting to go over to grab meat, naturally they had to fight until their heads were broken and blood flowed.

From the success of financing, money arriving, to large-scale multi-location simultaneous expansion, there was not a day of peace. After all, high-end business wars often adopt the most simple competitive methods, almost every day there were all-out fights caused by fighting for merchants, distributing flyers, etc., very lively.

Actually, Wang Yan's requirements were very low, he didn't demand that the cooperating car dealerships sign exclusive agreements, only put the car sources on their own website, and didn't demand that ground-push personnel go to fight with others.

But other companies were disgusting, they wanted exclusive agreements, and even gave merchants various discounts to let them sign exclusive agreements. As for the battlefield of ground-push, it was even more excessive, they sent people to distribute flyers next to Dong Che Net's people.

Those who went out to run business and do promotion were mainly young men and women, with men being the majority, naturally unable to withstand such bullying from others. After a few words, they compared fists and feet.

These things, of course, had to be cleaned up by Wang Yan...

This evening, Yang Xiaoyun came to the company to find Wang Yan for dinner, and Hua Zi also followed as a light bulb.

"Big news, big news." As soon as she sat down, Yang Xiaoyun said this.

Wang Yan cooperated very well: "What news?"

"You definitely won't guess." Yang Xiaoyun paused again, waiting for the two to ask.

Wang Yan ignored her, knocked on the vegetable plate with chopsticks: "Hua Zi, don't say, the new cook in our company is really not bad. This stir-fried shredded pork with green pepper is quite high-level."

"Really? Let me taste... Heh, it's really authentic..."

"Oh~ why are you two so boring?"

Yang Xiaoyun said, annoyed, "Forget it, I'll tell you, Mi Lai is back in the country."

"Ah?" X2

"And said she doesn't want to study anymore, and won't leave in the future."

"Ah?" X2

"Big news, right?" Yang Xiaoyun laughed, "I was the same as you two when I heard her tell me."

"This is going to be trouble..." Hua Zi said.

"You mean Lu Tao and Xia Lin?"

"Who else could it be? It must be that she still can't let go, otherwise why wouldn't she study if she was fine? Even if not, as long as she is in Beijing, if she shakes in front of Lu Tao and Xia Lin, they will definitely quarrel."

"Then there's a show to watch." Yang Xiaoyun gloated.

Wang Yan had no guilt at all, he said: "Since she's back, let's make an appointment to have a meal together."

"Brother Yan, Xiaoyun, do you think I should tell Lu Tao and them?"

"That's a matter of time." Wang Yan shook his head.

"Tell them, tell them, the sooner the better." Yang Xiaoyun sighed, asked, "What about Lulu? Why didn't she come?"

"Hi, don't mention it." Hua Zi looked helpless.

Wang Yan asked: "Quarreling?"

"Not really, it's just that she wanted to pick up her mother and younger brother. She even picked up her younger brother, and arranged him in the repair shop, letting him serve tea and pour water for the repair masters, saying she wanted her younger brother to learn and see if he could learn, but he didn't receive a salary, and she found a bed for him in the dormitory. If I hadn't gone to find her that day, I wouldn't have known."

Lulu was now the supervisor of customer service, also handling car problems, and doing logistics. Her position was not low, and her salary was already over seven thousand, which was arranged by Hua Zi, and Wang Yan raised the salary standard. It was completely fine to arrange for her younger brother to work for free in the repair shop. Even if she arranged for her younger brother to be an employee, she could do it.

This was a small matter, she just had to say hello to personnel, after all, Hua Zi was behind her. Lulu was still sensible.

"How many days?"

"Last week's business."

Wang Yan nodded: "What do you think?"

"I'm annoyed. I was a bit annoyed at the time, and gave her a face, she was also unhappy, and it hasn't been right these past few days." Hua Zi said, still a bit unhappy, "She didn't even tell me, I really can't understand."

"What's there to not understand, she's afraid you look down on her." Wang Yan smiled, "Her relationship with you is unequal, she has to look at your face for everything, just afraid you'll be unhappy. She's inferior, she doesn't dare to say, she's afraid you look down on her. That's just how it is."

"No..."

Wang Yan waved his hand to interrupt her, then analyzed the gap between the two for Hua Zi.

He said: "Now it depends on you, whether you want to be with her."

"No, then I don't understand. I'll tell the truth, Brother Yan, you two are here, don't you think you two are quite good?"

"This is my ancestor, look, I'm the one who has the final say here, but she's the one who has the final say in private."

"Hmm~" Yang Xiaoyun raised her head proudly.

Wang Yan continued: "If you still want to be with her, then her mother and younger brother, you have to fulfill your responsibility. If you don't want to be with her, I suggest, clarify it as soon as possible. Or if you have other ideas, then give money quickly."

Yang Xiaoyun reacted, understood the meaning, and said, annoyed: "Pah, Hua Zi, if you do this kind of thing, let me tell you, I'll despise you. And you, you have ideas? Why don't you give me some too?"

"Give, must give." Wang Yan laughed, "Wait until you have time, let's go see the house, now there's enough money, it's no problem to buy a house."

"I don't want it, it's not clear, I don't dare to want it."

Wang Yan didn't answer at all, silently changed the subject, and started to enlighten Hua Zi...
