Chapter 109: Mom, Xu Mo is getting more and more lawless

Xu Yuanchan also suspected it was Xu Mo who hit her, retaliating against them, so she didn’t stop her.

During the police investigation, they quickly found surveillance cameras near the bar.

Xu Pandi glanced at the footage and nearly fainted.

The surveillance video had no sound, only visuals. It showed Xu Mo helping her up and then slapping her face repeatedly.

Each slap was heavier than the last.

Each slap was more vicious than the last!

“Xu Mo, I will never forgive you!”

“I’m going to tell mom! You’re despicable!”

“Sob… despicable!”

Xu Pandi, feeling wronged, almost burst into tears as she ran home with the video evidence, heading straight to Xie Bingyan to lodge a complaint.

Xie Bingyan had been staying at home during this time and rarely went out. Occasionally, she tended to plants and flowers in the garden, and recently, she had acquired a wooden fish and a Buddha statue from somewhere.

These days, she sat in front of the Buddha statue, chanting with the wooden fish in hand.

This was a new routine for Xie Bingyan. During this period, she seemed to have found some enlightenment, focusing on self-cultivation.

Her spirits had improved noticeably, and Xu Manni and Xu Pandi did not interfere with her.

As Xu Pandi rushed home with the evidence, she ran up to Xie Bingyan, crying, “Mom, look, Xu Mo hit me! Look at what he did to my face! He’s despicable!”

Xie Bingyan glanced at the evidence, her expression freezing.

“I never expected him to do this! He’s retaliating against me!” Xu Pandi continued to cry.

Xu Yuanchan added, “Yesterday when I went to pick up Fourth Sister, Xu Mo was constantly insulting us, using really harsh words! Mom, Xu Mo is becoming more and more lawless!”

“I understand,” Xie Bingyan replied.

“Mom, please find a way to discipline him! If we don’t do something now, he’ll only become more arrogant and unruly! Mom, you haven’t seen how awful he’s become!” Xu Pandi cried, feeling deeply wronged.

“I said I understand!” Xie Bingyan suddenly looked impatient.

Upon hearing this, Xu Pandi dared not say anything more and could only sniffle in grievance.

“Lao Liu, take her downstairs to apply some medicine. We’ll discuss everything else later!” Xie Bingyan seemed to want to ignore the situation, closing her eyes and picking up her prayer beads and wooden fish, tapping them methodically.

Xu Pandi and Xu Yuanchan looked at each other, not daring to disturb Xie Bingyan, and left with faces full of grievance.

“He’s so despicable! Xu Mo is really despicable!”

“The next time I see him, I’ll settle accounts with him sooner or later!”

Xu Pandi felt indignant.

Xu Yuanchan didn’t know what to say.

…

Four representatives from Tencent Group came to Xiahai City to meet with Xu Mo and his team.

They were here specifically for an inspection.

Xu Mo hadn’t prepared a PowerPoint presentation yet; he only had the relevant data and signals indicating the need for investment.

Tencent Group was particularly sensitive in their response, having obtained internal data that analyzed the popularity of the “Price Slashing and Group Buy” models. This urgency stemmed from their need to stay competitive.

Currently, Pinduoduo was still unable to compete directly with platforms like Taobao and Jingdong in e-commerce. However, after another two months of development, it had undoubtedly become a successful unicorn.

The purpose of Tencent’s representatives visiting was primarily to understand Xu Mo’s business model. Xu Mo had no qualms about this since they were already planning to attract investment. Naturally, he was happy to discuss his business with Tencent Group.

Xu Mo had also gathered several executives to meet with them. When Tencent’s representatives saw how young they all were, they were initially surprised. However, upon reviewing Xu Mo and his team’s resumes, their faces quickly lit up with expressions of astonishment.

“Founder of shared bicycles? Pioneer and advocate of web based sharing economy?”

“Little Monster shared bicycles?”

“Exactly!”

Xu Mo nodded.

“No wonder!”

The representatives from Tencent Group suddenly realized, immediately taking their seats.

“Let’s get started then! The main reason for our visit this time is to gain a deeper understanding. Of course, business is business, and models are models. Most importantly, we want to get to know all of you personally!” the Tencent Group representatives said earnestly.

Xu Mo smiled, “Then let’s start with our model! Let’s begin with the group buying model! I believe you’ve already received some of the data—this data reflects the demand for group buying from our customers! If my guess is correct, this data is explosive, surpassing the expectations of many people!”

Upon hearing this, the Tencent Group representatives hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

“The popularity of the group buying model isn’t just about its novelty; most importantly, it offers discounts that benefit consumers! We also adhere to a consumer-oriented approach, with a customer-centric foundation, aiming to provide customers with the ultimate experience!”

“Furthermore, our model pursues affordability and convenience, focusing on user growth! In other words, user growth is our lifeblood! We are poised to tap into an endless explosion of data!”

“Group buying means increased users, which translates to increased consumers. As long as consumers stay with us, businesses will remain with us! Therefore, we’re not concerned about losing businesses!”

“We’ve been operating the group buying model for three months now, and we can confidently say it’s one of the best e-commerce models we’ve found!”

Upon hearing this, one of the Tencent Group representatives asked, “Are you operating at a loss? I heard you’re offering huge subsidies!”

“We are! In the short term, we are running at a loss. But let’s face it, which unicorn company isn’t operating at a loss right now? I think it’s quite normal for us to be running at a loss at this stage!”

The Tencent Group representatives looked surprised but didn’t refute.

“Let’s talk about our ‘Price Slashing’ model next! Without a doubt, our data is exploding. I believe you’ve also seen it! Whether it’s on QQ or WeChat groups, this type of information is erupting and spreading like wildfire!”

“Currently, without funds allocated for advertising, I believe our data would be even more astonishing if we had sufficient budget for promotions,” Xu Mo stated, as Li Banzhuang handed him a document.

Glancing over it briefly, Xu Mo passed it to the Tencent Group representatives, saying, “Take a look at the data we’ve gathered over these past few months. We’ve gone from zero to over a million users in just three months!”

“Almost every seven days, our user base doubles. These users show a high probability of purchasing products on our platform; nearly one in every five users places an order.”

“We haven’t shared this data with other investors yet. Considering your substantial capital, we believe you might find it intriguing. Take a look first! I’m confident our model can succeed, and investing with us will bring you substantial returns!”

“We haven’t shared this data with other investors yet. Considering your substantial capital, we believe you might find it intriguing. Take a look first! I’m confident our model can succeed, and investing with us will bring you substantial returns!”

The Tencent Group representatives took the documents and glanced at them, visibly stunned after just a brief look.

“Are these data… real?” one of them asked in disbelief.

It was known that currently, the external perception of Xu Mo’s project was not optimistic, with many considering his venture into e-commerce platforms as a joke.

“Of course, they’re real! Our data not only exceeds yours by several times but is also more accurate! In fact, our Price Slashing model isn’t confined to just QQ or WeChat; it’s equally successful in other domains!” Xu Mo replied with a smile.

The Tencent Group team was astonished, quickly flipping through several more pages of the document, showing signs of eagerness.

Xu Mo didn’t interrupt them, allowing them to proceed at their own pace.

Standing beside them, Gu Huanxi, Li Banzhuang, and Xu Mo observed the scene. Seeing Xu Mo’s calm demeanor, they couldn’t help but smile.

Their eyes gleamed with confidence.

At this moment, they were highly self-assured. Securing a major investment from Tencent Group shouldn’t be a problem.

Their data was outstanding, likely to impress any potential investor.

This time, there would be no exceptions!

It was rumored that Tencent Group had brought five hundred million in funds. If successful, this investment would provide Pindoudou with the initial capital it needed.

With the money in hand, they could start expanding in earnest, investing in advertising and attracting users. If all went as planned, they would indeed witness a true explosion in user data.

It was undeniably an exhilarating prospect!
