The conversation with Xie Zhen ended on a sour note, as they were not familiar with each other and had little to discuss.
As for Xie Bingyan moving out of the Xie family, Xu Mo wasn’t surprised at all. He proceeded according to his own plan, unaffected by anyone’s interference.
Leaving the restaurant, Xu Mo stopped by a nearby flower shop to buy a bouquet and some snacks, then took a taxi to the hospital.
“Big Brother Xu Mo!”
Arriving at the hospital, a voice filled with surprise and joy greeted him. Lu Hongluan, who had been sitting at a desk doing homework, rushed over, her face beaming with happiness.
Her pretty face was flushed, her big eyes sparkling with excitement.
“Hey there! Have you been eating well lately?” Xu Mo patted her head, set down his things, and smiled.
“I’ve been eating, but the doctor told me not to eat too much!” Lu Hongluan smiled happily.
“Then listen to the doctor! I brought some snacks you like. Eat them while you do your homework!” Xu Mo smiled.
“Thank you, Big Brother Xu Mo!”
Lu Hongluan was delighted and immediately took the food to eat.
Recently, she had been staying at the hospital. Despite the constant visitors, she diligently did her homework and studied on time, showing great effort in her studies.
Whenever Xu Mo had free time, he would come by to see her, offering encouragement to help her feel at ease before her surgery.
It was clear to see that she was becoming more cheerful and smiling more often. With the family’s improved financial situation, she had become less introverted and melancholic than before. Every time she saw Xu Mo coming over, she was extremely excited, almost wanting to hug him tightly.
“Do you have any questions? Would you like me to explain?” Xu Mo sat down beside her and picked up the textbook.
“Yes! I have lots of questions, I’m doing practice problems!” Lu Hongluan nodded eagerly. “This test paper has a lot of different things, Big Brother Xu Mo, please explain them to me!”
“Alright!”
As a top scorer in the college entrance examination and a student at Tsinghua University, Xu Mo naturally found these high school-level questions effortless.
Coincidentally having some free time, Xu Mo took the opportunity to explain to her.
The hospital room had other people, and nearby there were many children, making it quite lively. When they heard Xu Mo explaining the questions, these children eagerly gathered around to listen.
“He is Xu Mo, a student at Tsinghua University and the top scorer in the Xiahai City college entrance examination! His explanations are the best!”
“Just after finishing the college entrance exam, Xu Mo started a business and earned a whopping 5 billion. You know about bike-sharing, right? That’s what Xu Mo did!”
“Besides that, Xu Mo has other businesses. He’s extremely wealthy now, I can’t even count how much. He’s also an outstanding young entrepreneur in Xiahai City and has attended the World Internet Conference!”
Proudly introducing Xu Mo in the hospital room, Lu Hongluan’s words instantly caused a stir of surprise.
“A student at Tsinghua University? And the top scorer in the college entrance exam?”
“Yes! The former top scorer in the college entrance exam who successfully entered Tsinghua University!”
“Incredible! Amazing! He’s a student at Tsinghua University! He’s so impressive! Next time he comes, I’ll have my son come over to listen!”
“Being the top scorer in the college entrance exam is impressive! It’s rare to have a top scorer come to our hospital to teach. What a rare opportunity! Young lady, you should let him explain more!”
“Sure, sure! Next time Xu Mo comes, I’ll have him teach from the textbook!”
“Great, great!”
Seemingly sparked by Lu Hongluan’s words, the entire hospital room buzzed with excitement when Xu Mo returned. It was bustling and lively.
Seeing Xu Mo teaching, some children brought over stools and gathered around to listen.
The hospital nurses even rearranged nearby beds, allowing Xu Mo to teach inside. Children from over a dozen rooms gathered around, making it exceptionally lively.
Seeing this scene, Xu Mo couldn’t help but smile and decided to give them a lesson.
Lu Hongluan, who is now in junior high school, was learning mostly elementary and junior high school-level material. Xu Mo explained in a simple and understandable manner, with no difficulty.
It seemed some people knew about his entrepreneurial ventures, so adults also gathered around, asking him to share his entrepreneurial story to inspire the children.
There were plenty of entrepreneurial stories to tell, especially about the bike-sharing business, which provided ample material.
As Xu Mo talked about starting from scratch with bike-sharing, fundraising, capital operations, business promotion, and expanding overseas, many adults found it fascinating.
“In the end, we did a lot of modeling and simulations! Our conclusion was that bike-sharing could work in Europe, America, and Southeast Asia too! So, at eighteen, we started planning our international expansion! It was tough because I was just starting my freshman year, and the coursework was intense. I often traveled overseas to inspect operations in several countries—it was quite challenging!”
“Fortunately, in the end, we managed to scale it up!”
“We summarized our successful experiences and came up with several key points. First, our model was simple, not complicated, and easy to use, which made it easy to scale.”
“Secondly, bike-sharing indeed provided convenience and green transportation options for many people, solving the commuting difficulties for many. So, we were in touch with the community!”
“Thirdly, the marketization was straightforward. The reason we could expand so rapidly was that the input was simple, and the output was straightforward. Placing bikes on the streets was all it took, with no significant obstacles. That’s how we took off quickly!”
“Finally, during our fundraising phase, we spoke with many interested parties. At that time, numerous people approached us, expressing confidence in our venture. We managed to secure funding from several sources, totaling twenty billion! Eventually, the project’s valuation reached approximately 12 billion, yielding us substantial returns!”
“Also about ‘Price Slashing’!” Lu Hongluan chuckled.
Xu Mo smiled, “There’s a lot to discuss about that. We’re still operational lately, so I might not have time now. Next time I come, I’ll tell you all about it!”
“Great!”
Every visit to the hospital was bustling. Nurses would even come by to listen, clearly intrigued.
For them, having a top scorer in the national college entrance exams and a brilliant student from Tsinghua University lecturing was truly a rare treat. Xu Mo didn’t mind spending extra time at the hospital.
After visiting Lu Hongluan, Xu Mo took the items and headed home.
The promotion of ‘Price Slashing’ was going very smoothly. With user numbers exploding, Gu Huanxi was thrilled after seeing the data today. He called to ask when Xu Mo would be home.
Later, a few people are expected to gather at the villa to discuss the next steps.
“We still need to proceed with the third round of financing, which will be even larger, requiring at least 10 billion yuan or more! After this round of financing, we’ll be nearly there! We can initiate the listing process! Right now, Ali Group and Jingdong Group have already taken notice of us!”
Indeed, with Pinduoduo becoming wildly popular, a new model has officially opened up the game and made a significant impact on the online shopping market.
Many suddenly realized: there’s actually such a model for online shopping? Such a promotional model exists?
It’s truly eye-opening.
In addition to this, Xu Mo has also added some advertising pages on Pinduoduo. Users can earn a small amount of money by watching ads.
Even though it’s just a few cents or a few dimes, it can attract users to stay longer, significantly increasing user retention.
After implementing several initiatives, numerous investors were amazed!
“Genius! This Xu Mo, he’s truly a genius!”
“And this kind of strategy, this model! It’s eye-opening!”
“A few cents, a few dimes, and you can bring in a user. This move, it’s just brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that?”
“What a marketing genius!”
