On the last day of the month, Chery's brand event went live.
Users could get a lottery code by logging into FoxTao once a day, with the prize being 10 Chery QQ cars.
To convince users of the event's authenticity, Chen Yansen specially invited a notary to oversee the entire lottery process.
At the sa ti, purchasing a Chery QQ, Fengyun 2, or Qiyun would entitle users to a 10% discount off the list price.
Simply put, a Qiyun sedan priced at 39,000 yuan, excluding purchase tax, insurance, and other fees, would only cost 35,000 yuan—a saving of 4,000.
Users carefully read the rules on the event page and were imdiately tempted.
So users with car-buying needs actually placed orders, with 29 deposits of 1,000 yuan received on the event's first day.
This was equivalent to selling 29 Chery cars!
Though it couldn't compare to the tens of millions in daily sales from group-buying, it showed so car companies with high inventory a new marketing approach. This thod didn't generate huge sales, but it could create millions of impressions, far more cost-effective than traditional advertising.
Chen Yansen posted the lottery link on Weibo, instantly attracting hundreds of thousands of participants.
"Damn! What is this kid's brain made of? Selling cars online?" Xu Yi, the boss of ilishuo, was astonished.
These copycat sites had just finished replicating the brand flash sale model when FoxTao started playing the group-buying and car flash sale ga.
They wanted to follow suit in these two areas, but group-buying platforms and brands looked down on them.
Sui Liangdong, founder of Yancheng's "What's Worth Buying," imdiately realized his platform was a natural fit for this type of advertising upon seeing FoxTao sell cars.
By using content output to plant seeds in potential users, a brand-new e-comrce model of guided shopping could be created.
Sui Liangdong acted swiftly, announcing a product revamp. Building on existing overseas shopping discounts, a dostic discount section was added, focusing on high-quality UGC (user-generated content) and pioneering a content-driven shopping experience.
Chen Yansen wasn't too concerned upon learning this. FoxTao and "What's Worth Buying" weren't direct competitors, though the latter might try to poach FoxTao's brand partners.
After all, content-driven e-comrce had a clear advantage in brand seeding.
However, Chen Yansen didn't intend to follow the content creation trend. Content monetization was too slow, requiring three to five years to see results, and he was impatient; he couldn't wait that long.
In Yanjing, Lei Jun also heard about FoxTao selling cars—the first ti an e-comrce platform had sold such a high-value item.
In his past life, the first wave of online car sales didn't begin until April 2011, when Geely's Global Hawk joined Taobao Mall.
Chen Yansen had brought it forward by two months.
"Should we try collaborating with FoxTao?" Lei Jun pulled Li Wanqiang and the brand director aside for a small eting in the conference room.
At this ti, Xiaomi mainly profited from the MIUI operating system and ga cooperation, but his team of tech giants, including Lin Bin, were actually laying the groundwork for their future mobile phone business.
However, whether Xiaomi phones could successfully launch and sell well was still unknown, and Lei Jun himself was uncertain.
"As an investor, let's invite him to Yanjing for a eting. After all, we've decided on a direct online sales model for our phones, and we need to maintain good relationships with third-party advertising channels like FoxTao," Li Wanqiang suggested.
"Okay, I'll contact him personally," Lei Jun nodded in agreent.
anwhile, Chen Yansen was completely bewildered upon receiving Lei Jun's call.
In his mory, Shunwei Capital had never invested in e-comrce platforms, and their only investnt in vertical e-comrce was Vancl.
Moreover, Lei Jun's personal investnt style was clear: he only invested in acquaintances. Chen Yansen had no connection with Lei Jun whatsoever, and this call filled him with doubt.
Who cares? Xiaomi probably hasn't finalized the product design yet—maybe they're still working on the appearance and hardware. It's good to go and steal… no, learn sothing.
After figuring it out, Chen Yansen imdiately decided to et this down-to-earth "internet celebrity" big shot.
As for making mobile phones, he wasn't very interested. He'd much rather set up a contract manufacturer like Foxconn to help him achieve godhood sooner.
The next morning, Chen Yansen's vision was imdiately blocked by a dense barrage of system notifications as soon as he opened his eyes.
He picked up his phone; it was 8:15 AM. FoxTao's salary had arrived right on ti.
He activated the system panel and glanced at it briefly.
[Host: Chen Yansen]
[Physique: 4.11]
[Spirit: 1.32]
[Skills: Car Driving (Two-Star Proficient Level 56/100), Guitar Playing (One-Star Beginner Level 83/100), Eight Vajra Skill (One-Star Beginner Level 41/100)]
[Talent: None]
[Humanity's Fla: 217]
The talent section was still empty. Chen Yansen couldn't help but mutter: With my 4.11 physique, why don't I get a titanium alloy kidney talent?
Bah! Damn system, you have no sense of propriety.
The experience points for guitar and the Eight Vajra Skill remained unchanged, while his driving skills gained 19 points. Ever since his physique broke through its limits, his driving skills had increased with each use.
Should he focus on physique or spirit this ti?
Chen Yansen lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. After a mont's thought, he allocated all 217 strands of Humanity's Fla to his spirit.
A wisp of white mist, about the thickness of a finger, appeared out of thin air and instantly entered his brow. He expected it to feel similar to enhancing his physique—first cold, then hot, and finally like a spa treatnt.
However, the mont the white mist entered his brain, Chen Yansen felt as if his mind was boiling. The intense burning sensation almost made him faint.
This burning was painless!
Yet it reached the depths of his soul!
Chen Yansen's eyes were bloodshot, and hot breath escaped his nostrils. This uncomfortable feeling lasted three to five minutes, followed by a bone-chilling coolness that surged from the depths of his brain and instantly spread throughout his body.
The burning sensation quickly subsided, replaced by an indescribable comfort, as refreshing as recovering from a serious illness.
Chen Yansen stretched his limbs, got out of bed, and examined himself in the mirror. His body remained unchanged, but his eyes were brighter, and his brow radiated abundant energy.
mories buried deep within were unexpectedly awakened: the event planning docunt from his first job, his first business plan, and his speech at the shareholders' eting on the day Feiyu went public.
While he couldn't recall every word, he could rember the core content.
Keep in mind, he had almost completely forgotten this information before.
The mind integrates intelligence, mory, and comprehension; intelligence and comprehension are difficult to test, but mory is easy.
Chen Yansen picked up a book, Introduction to Journalism, and casually flipped through it. The dry text seed drawn by a magnet, frantically drilling into his brain.
It took him one minute to read the first page;
only five minutes to finish the first chapter!
Chen Yansen closed his eyes, trying hard to recall what he had just read. He could easily outline the first chapter's structure and give a general explanation of many specialized terms, though he rembered less than a tenth of the unimportant content.
A spirit value of 3.49, just 10% above the human limit, and he's already reached this level?
Chen Yansen was overjoyed. He'd heard of people learning a new language in three months and mastering a new technology in six.
He hadn't believed it before, but now he did!
With his current learning ability, he could finish a sester's worth of professional courses in three days and complete four years of university credits in a month without any problem.
No wonder highly intelligent people could dabble in multiple fields throughout their lives and beco top experts. This kind of efficient learning was like playing a ga; the instant feedback and short cooldown created an addictive pleasure.
