Xie Yun rushed to Yanjing with a murderous look, but she didn't expect that what awaited her was such a situation that made her feel extremely helpless.
She originally thought that it was Li Mu's fault, but she didn't expect that after she arrived, she found out that everything was done willingly by her precious daughter. Even on some key issues, her daughter even took the initiative. This should have made her even angrier, but after a deep conversation between the mother and daughter, Xie Yun also realized that even if her daughter did something wrong, it was out of infatuation. As a mother, she couldn't blame her anymore.
However, although she felt sorry for Zhao Ziqiu, Xie Yun was still worried, so she had to warn Zhao Ziqiu, "Even if I can understand you, you and Li Mu can't go on like this. Li Mu is now a public figure, and the whole society pays attention to him all the time. If the thing between you and him is exposed, do you think your father can accept it?"
Then, Xie Yun continued, "Not only your father, but also your grandparents. They all love you so much. You are the apple of their eyes. If they know the real situation between you and Li Mu, I'm afraid that they will be furious."
Zhao Ziqiu looked down and didn't say anything for a long time.
There was no exaggeration in Xie Yun's words. She was indeed the apple of the Zhao and Xie families' eyes, and the most favored child of the two families. Not only her grandparents, but also her uncles and aunts, and other elders loved her very much. If they knew about her, they would probably be extremely disappointed in her.
Both the Zhao and Xie families were big families with prosperous families. Because of Zhao Xianliang's success, the Zhao family brought out many powerful businessmen. Although there was still a big gap between them and Zhao Xianliang, they basically became tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan in the steel industry. Although the Xie family didn't have any businessmen, they were definitely worthy of being called a family of scholars. Almost all the people over the age of 40 in the family were famous people in domestic scientific research and academia. They could be regarded as a big family in the academic world.
Zhao Ziqiu was very clear about the situation of these two families. One was rich, the other was famous, and the common characteristic was that they both had high standards. When they knew that her boyfriend was Li Mu, everyone was very satisfied, but if they knew that she was actually Li Mu's mistress, she was afraid that they would be very disappointed in her.
Xie Yun could also see Zhao Ziqiu's nervousness and worry. Now that things had come to this, she didn't want to blame her too much. She just sighed softly and said to Zhao Ziqiu with a serious face, "The thing between you and Li Mu must be resolved within a certain period of time. Either you get together seriously, or you completely stop the current relationship. Tell me, how long is a suitable time limit for you?"
Zhao Ziqiu pursed her lips for a while and said weakly, "Can I do it before I graduate from university?"
"Before I graduate from university?!" Xie Yun suddenly stood up and said angrily, "Do you think you can hide your relationship with Li Mu for more than two years?!"
Zhao Ziqiu was speechless.
Xie Yun's heart suddenly softened again. She sat down next to Zhao Ziqiu again and said sincerely, "I know you don't want to leave Li Mu, but you have to understand that life will not change just because you muddle along. If you always have the mentality of willingly hiding behind Li Mu, do you think Li Mu will take the initiative to solve this problem for you?"
Zhao Ziqiu said, "Mom, I think love is something that will last a lifetime, so I don't care about the current few years."
Xie Yun immediately said, "You don't care, but I care."
As she said that, Xie Yun looked at Zhao Ziqiu and said with a face full of heartache, "Looking at you now, if I ask you to leave Li Mu now, you definitely won't be willing. Then be decisive and choose another path. I'll give you half a year. If you succeed, I'll pretend that this never happened and won't tell anyone. If you fail, you have to make a clean break with Li Mu. At that time, I'll transfer you back to Zhejiang University and send you abroad immediately after you graduate."
Zhao Ziqiu said without confidence, "Mom, half a year is too short …"
"Half a year is too short?!" Xie Yun said in an irrefutable manner, "Half a year. If you can't solve this problem in half a year, you have to make a clean break with Li Mu!"
Zhao Ziqiu didn't dare to agree, but she also understood that since her mother had already said this, she had no choice but to agree.
At this time, Xie Yun looked at Zhao Ziqiu and suddenly asked, "How much do you know about Li Mu's girlfriend?"
… …\ r
Li Mu had no idea that Xie Yun was in Beijing.
The news of Makino Technology chartering a plane to send its employees to the US for overseas work had been hot for several days. Not only the domestic media, but also the foreign media had paid close attention and reported on this move of Makino Technology.
After Makino Technology's employees went to the US, the work of expanding into the US market immediately began. While everyone thought that Li Mu must be busy in China and remotely commanding the overseas employees to attack the US, Li Mu was actually "hanging out" with Lei Jianguo, racking his brains to figure out how to speed up the demise of Le Tao.
Ever since Le Tao successfully accepted more than two hundred fake sellers that Taobao had kicked out of the platform, the platform's statistics seemed to have taken a turn for the better.
After these 200 sellers lost their income from Taobao, in order to make up for the huge gap in income, LeTaoTao tried everything it could to increase its sales. LeTaoTao, which was originally on the verge of death, suddenly had more than 200 engines running at crazy speed. This made the website feel like a withered tree had been given a new lease of life.
Le Tao's daily order volume, transaction volume, and transaction value were constantly increasing, and the data grew faster and faster. More than 200 sellers who were kicked out of Taobao also realized the special benefits of Le Tao. First of all, there was the most direct preferential policy of the platform's subsidy, and in fact, the most attractive preferential policy was the halving of logistics and express delivery fees.
Boss Ma was in a particularly good mood these days. He finally experienced the pleasure of reviving a dead game. Originally, he was at a dead end, but because he solved it with one move, everything became clear.
Not only did Le Tao's data increase rapidly, but the increasing order volume also injected fresh blood and nutrients into the three express delivery companies in Boss Ma's hands.
Originally, the bottom-level staff of these three express delivery companies were basically looted by Taobao Logistics. Each company had a serious staff shortage and empty areas, almost falling into a half-dead situation. But now, the increasing number of orders gave Boss Ma a new opportunity. He officially decided to integrate these three express delivery companies into one and renamed it "Le Tao Express".
Integrating the three express delivery companies into one and renaming it was Boss Ma's way of imitating Li Mu's Taobao Express.
He also wanted his customers to shop on his own platform and enjoy the delivery of his own logistics system. This way, not only could he increase the brand's reputation, but more importantly, he could control all the logistics needs of the platform.
In order to guide the flow of customers in both directions, Boss Ma even made a decision. In the future, all ordinary customers who used Le Tao Express to send their goods could enjoy a 20% discount on the first order as long as they registered as a Le Tao user. If they registered as a Le Tao user, they could also enjoy a coupon for 99% off 20% when they shop at Le Tao.
The discount was borne by Le Tao Express itself, but it didn't really cost Boss Ma anything. It just tightened the profit of additional orders, so Boss Ma almost didn't feel any pressure when it came to implementing the discount.
Boss Ma cleverly transferred the discount amount to Happy Tao sellers, who would bear the reduced profits from the coupons. However, Happy Tao sellers were not against it. After all, Happy Tao sellers mainly sold clothing, so their gross profit margin was more than 100%.
Le Tao's coupon policy was also very sneaky. No matter how many stores the buyer bought from, as long as the coupon was used, the coupon would be split evenly according to the value of the goods in each store. For example, if a user bought a 50 RMB item in Store A and a 100 RMB item in Store B, they spent a total of 150 RMB. If they used the coupon to deduct 20 RMB, then Store A, which accounted for one-third of the total sales of the order, would bear one-third of the discount, which was 6.67 RMB. Store B, on the other hand, would bear two-thirds of the discount, which was 13.3 RMB. For the sellers, this part of the profit reduction was targeted at new customers, so it was beneficial for them.
Li Mu and Lei Jianguo had been monitoring the growth of Le Tao's data, as well as the new movements of the platform. When Li Mu found out that Boss Ma was trying to use this "breakthrough point" to revive the whole situation, Li Mu was excited that his plot had succeeded, but at the same time, he was afraid of Boss Ma's undying spirit.
After a deep discussion with Lei Jianguo, both of them reached a consensus. If fake goods were the only way to kill Le Tao, then this amount was obviously not enough to kill it.
Therefore, Li Mu and Lei Jianguo began to think about how to indirectly increase the speed and efficiency of Le Tao in selling fake goods.
Coincidentally, Boss Ma also had the same urgent desire.
He realized that these 200 sellers would be a huge driving force for the platform, as well as the huge potential for future development. He also hoped to quickly increase the sales of these 200 sellers.
After thinking about it, he finally found a "loophole" that was hard to detect, and came up with a method that he thought was very clever.
He asked his staff to persuade more than 200 sellers to join forces and appeal to Taobao and Makino Technology, asking Taobao and Makino Technology to unblock their Seller Y. The reasoning of these 200 sellers was: "They violated the rules of Taobao's platform in terms of sales, which led to the unblocking of their stores. They unconditionally accept this, but Seller YY is their personal tool, and YY itself is not a product of Taobao's platform. Neither Taobao nor Makino Technology has the right to block their Seller YY."
Boss Ma hoped that these 200 sellers could get back their Seller YY accounts, and then get back all of their customer resources. By then, Le Tao's overall data would definitely rise to another level.
