What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 188 Breaking the Ice
Starting from September, Bai Xiaosheng further improved its recruitment business framework and divided the domestic market into four major regions: East China, South China, North China, and West China.

The only difference from the traditional meaning is that the city that Bai Xiaosheng is currently studying avoids the important cities in these four regions.

As the person in charge of leading the construction of the company system, Liu Hao has received many suggestions since last month. People believe that Bai Xiaosheng can simultaneously open up the sinking markets in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, and also use cost-effective strategies to acquire users.

However, Liu Hao insisted on not moving to a big city and used his reputation gained from years of experience in the industry to convince everyone that now was not the best time.

As for when is the best time...

In fact, he quite agrees with what Mr. Yu said about the wave of mobileization. And it is not just Mr. Yu who has noticed this direction. Zhaopin has already launched a mobile client this month and also intends to maintain its market share in the new era.

Of course, different strategies use different strengths. In the future, everyone’s competition on the mobile side will be...

Liu Hao estimated that he would not be able to see it in Bai Xiaosheng.

On September 9, after the meeting, Liu Hao made a private appointment with Mr. Yu to chat further on the future business focus.

"Mr. Yu, I've thought about it carefully. If we can get the financing next year, we can try to expand into more markets." Liu Hao said thoughtfully, "We don't have to pursue the 'best time'. It would be great if we can get a 'better time'."

Yu Xing felt that this proposal was more objective. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "I have discussed the next round of financing with the investors. At least part of it can be secured next year. It can be considered relatively optimistic. Do you think that if we can develop at a good speed next year, we can enter the big cities?"

"Business has to be built, and if we can get more, Zhaopin, Yingcai and Qiancheng will get less." Liu Hao talked about his thoughts, "Zhaopin and Yingcai have big problems among the three companies, and the competition in this area may not be as fierce as imagined."

He said with a serious expression: "But the risk here is the problem of capital chain. Our capital chain risks were magnified during the financial crisis when we were at Zhaopin.com and ChinaHR.com."

Yu Xing nodded slightly: "Well, this is a matter. Let's not rush it this year. Let's see what happens next year."

Liu Hao hesitated and said, "I am worried about my lawsuit next year."

Yu Xing smiled and said, "Boss Liu, you are being sued, not for anything else. Even if you leave Bai Xiaosheng, can't I call you to reminisce about the past?"

He paused and added, "If you still want to continue doing this business in the future, I won't call you anymore."

"If the non-compete agreement comes into effect again, I would like to do it again, but I don't know when I will have the chance." Liu Hao shook his head, still feeling a little pessimistic.

Before Yu Xing could speak, there was a knock on the office door.

New secretary Zhang Yangxu poked his head in and said carefully, "Boss Yu, Boss Chu is downstairs. I want you to go down."

Yu Xing was at a loss for two seconds, wondering, "Why would you ask me to go down?"

Zhang Yangxu shook his head.

"Do you want me to move the grapes?" Yu Xing was quite surprised. He signaled to Liu Hao, got up and left the office, and soon went downstairs.

Then, he saw the old couple in his family… Even though the word “shui ling ling” was not quite appropriate, he still felt that the two of them looked very shui ling ling standing in front of the car.

"Dad, Mom!" Yu Xing asked in surprise, "Why are you here? No, you should be at work today."

"Xiaoguang, go back. If you don't go back, then we will have to come here by ourselves when we miss our son." Chu Qiying happily pinched his son who walked in front of him and felt that he seemed a little thinner.

Yu Guosheng simply said: "If Xiaoguang can take a leave, we can also take a leave. Take a day off and combine it with the weekend to go to the big city for a visit."

Yu Xing laughed and said, "Okay, okay, okay. I was thinking that I would let you guys come and play after the heat is not so high."

He turned his head to look at his cousin and said, "Xiao Guang, move the grapes and share them with our colleagues."

Chu Zhiguang was stunned: "Uh, brother, didn't you ask me to send grapes to Today's Capital? They are basically unloaded there."

Yu Xing: “?”

Chu Zhiguang added: "There are only a few boxes left. My aunt said to leave them for your wife."

Yu Xing was about to speak when he suddenly realized something. He didn't have time to care whether he was his wife or not, so he asked directly, "You came in the same car. Did you see anyone when you delivered grapes to Capital Today?"

Chu Qiying nodded and said, "You mean Mr. Xu? I met him and we chatted for a while."

Yu Xing: “…”

Business is business, and the intrusion of family members makes him want to... make him dig his toes into the ground.

Chu Qiying continued with a smile: "I heard Xiaoguang say on the way that you and this investor still have some conflicts. It happened that we came here together. I also met the boss and I thought he was quite friendly."

Yu Xing had the urge to cover his face with his hands raised to the sky, and said weakly: "Mom, you won't tell her to take care of me more, will you?"

Chu Qiying nodded as a matter of course: "What's wrong? Shouldn't I say it? She was quite polite, and she had a good opinion of you, saying that you were a little stubborn, nothing else."

Yu Xing: “…”

He said with some difficulty: "No, Mom, she and I had some differences of opinion a while ago, which can be resolved, but I don't want to solve it with your kind of... this kind of icebreaker."

"We don't mind the trouble, so what's the trouble?" Chu Qiying didn't quite understand. If his own child had some conflicts with others, what was the big deal if he came forward to say a few good words?
Yu Guosheng next to him suddenly said, "You mean we shouldn't get involved in your company's affairs, right?"

Yu Xing could obviously understand his parents' mentality of doing things for his own good, but the thought of Xu Xin feeling that he was using his parents to ease the conflict... made him feel awkward no matter how he thought about it.

Seeing his son's helpless expression, Yu Guosheng just smiled and said nothing. He turned to his wife and said, "I understand. It's wrong. Don't get involved in this kind of thing next time."

"It's okay, it's okay. Just give me some local specialties. The more gifts, the less blame." Yu Xing quickly adjusted his attitude and said with a smile, "Dad, Mom, let's go. I'll show you our company."

Seeing that his wife still didn't understand, Yu Guosheng said seriously, "Look at Xingxing's behavior. The relationship between them is even more strained than Xiaoguang said. If we go to see Mr. Xu this time and he humiliates us instead of being polite, it will be really difficult for Xingxing to ease the tension in the future."

He shook his head: "This time it's nothing for Mr. Xu, but next time if it's Mr. Wang, Mr. Liu or someone else, good intentions will turn into bad things."

When Chu Qiying heard her husband say this, she immediately understood.

She looked at her son and hesitated, "What should we do now?"

"It's okay, Mr. Xu is a nice person." Yu Xing said with a smile, "To be honest, Mr. Xu has helped me a lot."

Yu Guosheng continued to demonstrate the depth of his thinking, and slowly said: "Business matters are not based on the heart!"

Yu Xing: “…”

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Dad, that's enough, let's go upstairs and have a look, and then find a place to eat tonight."

Seeing that it really didn't seem like a big deal, Chu Qiying made a request: "Well, I want to have dinner with Liu Wanying tonight."

Yu Xing shrugged: "Okay."

Seeing that the episode was over, Chu Zhiguang said happily, "Okay, let's eat together tonight."

Yu Xing glared at his cousin who didn't say hello in advance and said, "Get out of here." Yu Guosheng came to the rescue in time, "He wanted to call you, but we didn't let him. He wanted to give you a surprise."

Yu Xing led the old couple to the elevator: "Then tell me in advance next time. Tell me a few days in advance, and I will be happier for a few days."

"Your tone..." Chu Qiying patted his son gently.

Yu Xing looked at the number of floors in the elevator and suddenly asked, "Mom, when you meet Mr. Xu, you won't talk about my schooling when I was a kid, will you?"

Chu Qiying asked back, "What else? She is considered an elder considering her age."

Yu Xing controlled his toes to prevent the elevator from being scratched and causing a safety accident. Well, people in their forties and fifties are at an age when things can no longer be hidden.

……

That night, Xu Xin brought home grapes from Haiyan.

"Why buy so many grapes?" Li Song wondered.

Xu Xin said expressionlessly, "Yu Xing gave it to me."

Li Song was surprised.

Xu Xin added: "He asked his parents to send it to me at the company."

Li Song was shocked at this time: "Ah? Let his parents... This, uh, Yu Xing doesn't seem like someone who can do such a thing..."

"This guy is usually a stubborn guy." Xu Xin said this, then shook his head and said, "I feel like I've gone too far. He actually did something like this. I'm ashamed that he could think of this."

Li Song picked a grape and put it into his mouth without washing it, and then commented: "It's quite sweet."

He turned around and looked at his wife who was sitting on the sofa, and asked, "Do you buy this?"

Xu Xin snorted.

The next second, she said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to him now. I've figured it out. If I don't pay attention to him, he will still work hard to help me make money."

Li Song noticed the essence of this matter: "Isn't this the scene he wanted in the first place?"

Xu Xin glared at her husband fiercely.

Li Song immediately turned around to get the grapes: "Let me wash two bunches. Oh, they are sweet. These grapes are good. I will bring some to the company tomorrow."

He washed the grapes and put them on a plate, then sat beside his wife and fed her one by one.

Xu Xin ate the grapes, feeling the sweetness in her mouth, and could not help but give her opinion: "Yu Xing is a stubborn guy. In fact, I think it is really good for him to do vertical e-commerce. For example, Bi Sheng of LeTao.com, although he came from Baidu, he was a little soft-hearted and could not make up his mind."

Li Song complained: "What kind of world is this? From what you said, it's not enough for people to be kind. Why do you have to be as cruel and ruthless as Yu Xing and not distinguish between friend and foe?"

"LeTao's original strategy was to expand to lower-tier cities, but now it is being done in an all-round way. This was not Bi Sheng's original intention. Someone in LeTao took the initiative to connect to big cities, and it did work, so Bi Sheng just let it go and did it without asking for permission." Xu Xin frowned.

Li Song said: "It's OK as long as it works."

Xu Xin thought for a while and shook his head slightly: "As long as we invest money, there will definitely be short-term effects, but the performance of this short-term effect... is not satisfactory. No matter what the strategy is, our investment ultimately falls on the team that executes the strategy."

"Yu Xing has a good team, and Yu Xing can also use his family team." Li Song seemed to praise and criticize, and asked, "You said last time that you would not invest in the next round, are you still investing now?"

Xu Xin frowned and said nothing.

Li Song immediately accused: "You hesitated! You hesitated!!"

"Who said I hesitated?" Xu Xin retorted, "I haven't thought about the next round. If you ask me, I will have to think about this again."

Li Song knew his wife's situation. There were two villains in her mind. The rational villain was beaten to death by the angry villain before, and today he might be saved by the grapes sent by the family team...

He complained quietly, "Okay, I won't ask anymore, just don't tell him you want to transfer money to him in a few days."

Xu Xin said angrily: "Yu Xing's bite force is so strong that he needs to get several shots of rabies vaccine. He gave me some grapes and I'm fine??"

Li Song did not participate in the discussion, as he felt that the more they discussed, the more likely that rational villain would revive.

The TV in the living room was playing the news.

Xu Xin ate grapes while watching the news. After a long while, he sighed, "These grapes are really sweet."

Li Song pursed his lips. It seemed that the rational villain had beaten the angry villain to death.

……

At the end of the first week of September, there was a small explosion in Bai Xiaosheng's website mechanism, which caused quite a lot of discussion.

According to anonymous sources, Chen Liyi, chief director of Chimei Electronics' TV panel business unit, is about to join TCL, and he will be joined by a team of nearly 100 people.

A team of nearly a hundred people jumped jobs together?
I have seen people job-hopping. There was one person who violated the non-compete agreement at Bai Xiaosheng, and there were also many job-hopping in twos and threes. However, job-hopping on this scale directly aroused everyone's amazing enthusiasm.

When Yu Xing saw the discussion about this matter, he wanted to transform into "Yu Xin" and reduce the heat of this matter. It was not because he was worried that the website would get involved in a lawsuit, but because this was related to Taiwan's enterprises.

Then, he walked around the company and suddenly noticed one thing. The company's employees included those from Fenzhong Media, Sino-Forest, Zhaopin.com and ChinaHR. Those who were being shorted were being shorted, those who were being poached were being poached, and those who were being bombarded were being bombarded. Looking at the secretary beside him, this was an outside informant who had crossed the mountain peak.

Yu Xing could only smile inexplicably, wondering what the hell he had come up with...

"Mr. Yu." Secretary Zhang Yangxu saw that the boss seemed to be in a good mood, and also saw that it was already lunchtime. He had a question in his mind but didn't know who to ask, so he just wanted to ask the doctor.

"Huh?" Yu Xing came back to his senses and rethought the impact of Bai Xiaosheng's revelations.

"Mr. Yu, I have a friend who wants me to help him keep an eye on the movements of Paulson, a well-known Wall Street fund, when I'm free. I'm very hesitant and don't know what he wants to do." Zhang Yangxu "I have a friend", "Do you think this is dangerous?"

Yu Xing blinked and said honestly: "The fund's movements are not sensitive. Maybe they just want you to help screen the information. You can take a look when it doesn't affect your work."

Zhang Yangxu quickly said: "Well, I won't affect my work! I just don't know what he wants to do, and what can the fund movement do?"

"Maybe he's doing industry research, maybe he's learning by imitation, yeah, there are a lot of possibilities, just ask him directly." Yu Xing smiled, "Besides, it doesn't matter if there's no harm."

Zhang Yangxu was moved by the words "no harm" and took a breath: "Well, I'm embarrassed to ask him, thank you, Mr. Yu."

Yu Xing nodded and replied politely, "You're welcome."

Those who were shorted turned to the light, those who were bombarded corrected their mistakes, the small groups that were dug up worked together, the informants and the masterminds could discuss together, and everyone happily gathered under Bai Xiaosheng. The future was truly bright.
