There are many courier guys like Liu Dawang.

They don't know how to speak, they don't have any sales skills, they only have sincerity.

This is also a quality often emphasized in Luoxiu's corporate culture.

If you want to accomplish something but can't think of a better way, then sincerity is your only chance to accomplish it.

The same goes for Luo Xiu's group buying. He doesn't want to be just a platform to sell traffic.

It’s not that merchants give me money and I will give you traffic.

Rather, we hope to truly serve merchants.

He sent people to help merchants take photos and upload them, and professional copywriters wrote descriptions.

At the same time, we serve customers with a sincere attitude and push truly good products to customers.

Luo Xiu insists that what he earns is not traffic fees, but service fees.

The difference between the two is that if you earn traffic fees, it means whoever pays the higher promotion fees will have their products pushed to consumers.

Products that can pay high promotion fees are usually products with high profits and low cost performance.

If customers always buy low-quality products on your platform and always eat unpalatable food every time they go to the restaurants recommended by the tasting platform, customers will slowly be lost to other platforms.

Only by operating the platform with the principle of earning service fees and with the purpose of serving merchants and customers can we truly make the platform good.

Only if you treat customers sincerely and customers can buy affordable products from you every time can you build trust again and again.

Now, only in Yangcheng District, Fantuan can do group buying of three categories of products and four categories of daily life group purchases.

The quantity of each stage is strictly controlled, and it can basically be sold out within the opening time of the group.

Luo Xiu set the starting time of the tour at 10:30 in the morning.

After grabbing the food, it was almost time to order takeout.

Customers also gradually realized that at 10:30, they had to open the rice balls to grab the bargains, and they would be gone if they were slower.

In the rice ball forum, the most common complaint is about the number of group purchases.

"Things are really cheap. Why are there only 2,000 pieces and they were all robbed as soon as the internet speed slowed down?"

"I've been drooling for a long time looking at that seafood buffet, but it only sells a hundred copies, so I can't get it."

"Fortunately, I didn't grab a group purchase of wedding photos last month. Now I have broken up with my girlfriend, which saved me 3,999 yuan. Thanks to the 2G Internet speed!"

"Upstairs, you not only saved 3999!"

…

The delivery speed of one-hour intra-city delivery, the selection of high-quality products, and the extremely high cost performance... make rice balls stand out among many group buying websites and win unanimous praise from consumers.

However, this is both the advantage and the disadvantage of rice balls.

Maintaining such a high standard of service means that the speed of expansion will be severely limited.

At present, Fantuan's service scope is limited to first- and second-tier cities.

If you want to further conquer third-tier cities and below, you must either give up your existing service quality or invest a huge amount of money and be prepared to suffer losses for more than several years.

Because the population density of third-tier cities and below is insufficient, and the penetration rate of online shopping is low, if we want to achieve the same service standards as first-tier cities, it means that we can only lose money to occupy the market in the past few years.

Therefore, Luo Xiu has been experiencing a mixture of joy and sorrow in recent times.

I am both happy about the current achievements and worried about the future development.

To date, Fantuan has invested tens of millions of dollars in development, but it is still far from enough to win this battle of thousands of groups.

In particular, Meituan, the biggest rival in the future, recently launched the Modu Station and Jiangcheng Station.

This future giant is still a cub now, but it has begun to show its fangs and is expanding at an alarming rate.

They burned capital money desperately, and every penny Fantuan burned was his own money.

"Mr. Luo, a person claiming to be from Sequoia Capital called and said he wanted to visit our company."

Lin Baoer ran over to report.

"When will they come?"

"It can be two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, or two o'clock the day after tomorrow. He said it depends on our time schedule."

"Then let's make an appointment at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon!"

"Okay, then I'll go back and answer him."

It seems that Sequoia Capital has noticed Fantuan and has investment intentions, otherwise they would not have made a special trip here.

This is not something to be proud of. For investment institutions of this size, they have always cast a wide net and invested in ten companies. Even if nine companies go bankrupt, one of them will eventually make money and the cost can be recovered in one go.

Being favored by Sequoia Capital does not mean that you are successful. It is more likely that you are one of the nine companies that are about to fail.

If Luo Xiu's memory is correct, Sequoia has invested in more than 500 companies in China in the future, including Alibaba, JD.com, Meituan, Ele.me, Toutiao, Kuaishou, Pinduoduo, iQiyi...

Basically, any Internet company that can be named has their presence behind it.

All they have to do is invest in the track, and in the end no matter which horse reaches the finish line, they will be the biggest winner.

However, for such international capital, whether we cooperate with them or not, it is necessary to listen to their opinions.

They have too much information that ordinary people don't know.

There is some information that even Luo Xiu, a person from the future, may not know.

Many times, doing business means making ordinary people's money by relying on poor information.

In addition, obtaining their investment also means obtaining the support of their connections and other resources.

…

In the evening, after Luo Xiu took a shower, he put on his pajamas and sat cross-legged on the sofa to meditate.

He was thinking about whether he should accept Sequoia's investment or not.

If you accept, how much money will you need? How much equity will you transfer?

At this time, Guan Shiyu came out from the shower and used a hair dryer to dry her hair.

The sound of the hair dryer "whirring" made Luo Xiu unable to calm down.

"Your hair is so long, let me blow it for you!"

"OK!"

Guan Shiyu immediately nodded in agreement.

Luo Xiu stood up and walked behind her, took the hair dryer from her hand, tested the temperature of the wind with his hands, and carefully blew her hair.

The shampoo was brought here by Guan Shiyu, and it smells very good.

"We use the same shampoo, why does your hair smell so good? Is it because of the perfume?"

Luo Xiu joked.

Guan Shiyu turned around and patted him, "You are so pickled. That's because us girls have long hair, which makes it smell much better."

"I said, it turns out that's what it is."

While Luo Xiu was blowing her hair, she often accidentally pointed the air outlet towards her neck and blew it down from her collar.

Guan Shiyu didn't notice it at first, but later she realized something was wrong. She covered the pajamas on her chest with her hands, wrinkled her cute nose, turned around and looked up at Luo Xiu, and said coquettishly, "Are you really drying your hair?"

"I'm blow-drying my hair!"
