Chapter 1425 Accelerating Online and Offline Expansion

William White has no time to grind his teeth with little Japan. Some guys are just cheap. If you reason with them, they will talk to you about violence. If you press them on the ground and rub them, they will start talking to you about benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust. Damn, am I so like Song Xianggong?

The Thanksgiving Day promotion is over, and the main problem of World Mall is still focused on the logistics system. Even with the hive, not all problems have been solved.

Of course, when things get to this point, it's beyond human control. Regardless of the rising unemployment rate in the United States, they have no interest in a job like a courier boy.

Even if they do it reluctantly, there will always be complaints. You just don’t understand. I’ve obviously paid the fee, so why do you still worry about tips? If this situation becomes the norm, online sales will have great limitations.

Of course, there is no way around these things. The United States is a tipping country, and there is nothing good to say about it.

As a result, in order to continue to expand his business territory, William White must increase investment in offline stores.

"Is it possible that after I place an order and pay online, I can go directly to a specific area to pick it up?" At the entrance of a newly opened large 7-11 in West Hollywood, a group of guys in suits and ties were surrounding a rather young-looking man. Guy.

"Boss, there is no technical problem. We can determine the inventory status based on the real-time data from the POS machine." Larry Ellison stood out from the crowd and said through the interface.

"Very well, Larry, there may be some problems here. For example, the system shows that there are three items in stock, but two of them are in the customer's cart.

There's a lead-ahead problem here, and of course, I think you can solve that problem.

Any more? "

"Manpower can be a big issue, finding items, putting them in shopping carts, printing shopping lists, there's a lot of work involved."

"Yes, boss, there were some accidents during this Thanksgiving promotion. If we hadn't prepared in advance, it would have been difficult to handle." Filson was slightly dissatisfied with Larry Ellison stealing the limelight. Of course he understood the old guy's motivations, but the uncertainty of this project was too great.

The 7-11 project is relatively useless in William White's business landscape. Until now, 7-11 is still losing money.

If we say, Bell Labs' losses are for tomorrow. Then, the losses of these supermarkets are somewhat inappropriate. However, in this embarrassing situation, the boss still decided to expand aggressively.

William White expressed his understanding of Philson's idea. This is the difference between bosses and professional managers. In fact, few bosses will care about moderate losses. Making money is of course the last word, but market dominance is equally important.

William White shook his head and smiled bitterly. If Wal-Mart and Costco agreed to his investment, why would he get involved in an industry he was unfamiliar with. The store seems simple, it's nothing more than ordering logistics and sales, but there are really few companies that can really do this.

"Is it possible that we can apply the concept of automatic warehousing here?" Looking at the looks in the eyes of a group of subordinates, William White knew that his idea was a bit unrealistic. "Okay, okay, I just have an idea. Let's do a few pilots first. It's just a trial to see if there is such a demand.

As for purchasing agents, you can find some who do odd jobs. "

"There's no problem with this. I'll make a plan immediately."

William White nodded and began his inspection and condolences work. Regarding the boss's bad taste, a group of subordinates could only cooperate. From the perspective of these guys, as long as you give each employee a red envelope, they won't care about your condolences.

Perhaps only William White himself understood that he was actually very helpless when he appeared at the scene. World Mall's sales have reached a bottleneck, or due to consumption habits, the number of new registered users has dropped, so he must find a way to break the situation.

But this kind of thing without any precedent is indeed a bit embarrassing for William White, who has mediocre qualifications. It's not possible that he might have a flash of inspiration if he takes a look at the scene. Even if he doesn't, his group of men will help him think of it.

He actually doesn't care about the cost issue that Filson mentioned. Automatic storage is expensive because there is no quantity. If all large supermarkets need to buy it, the current price can be discounted by 30%.

Filson is a little confused. The current sales situation is already very good, so why are you still dissatisfied? Do you know that the old guy at Wal-Mart is a little anxious? Not only are you grabbing resources online, your offline physical stores are also accelerating their expansion. Damn, I don’t intend to leave a way for people to survive.

When you reach William White's status, every move you make attracts attention. Different from his hypocrisy, generally speaking, the outside world has a positive view of World Mall. You have built a sales platform from scratch. If this is not satisfactory, we would like to ask, do you still leave a way for others to survive?

"Running to inspect? Andy, how do I feel, what kind of official is this guy now!

By the way, some time ago, wasn't there news claiming that Suomi was negotiating with them.

How is this going?

Since we agreed to the exchange, we should take action as soon as possible. "

Andy looked at the sky speechlessly. Morgan Stanley was too involved in the problems of Enron and Pacific Gas. In order to avoid being affected, they chose to communicate with William White.

NBC no longer reports in depth on California's energy crisis, and Baltimore is lobbying Peanuts to unify digital video formats in order to reduce waste.

"Boss, the negotiation has broken down. According to the information from the Japanese side, William White is not sincere at all."

"In this way, it should be the end. We must speed up. Don't give anyone a hand. William White is a chicken, so it's best not to get involved with him.

By the way, what about the current 7-11 shopping mall? It seems that they have not started making profits yet. "

"Absolutely not, the recent consumer market is also sluggish. Walmart and Costco both plan to close some shopping malls.

But 7-11, they should still be expanding. "

William White's simple trip was immediately interpreted in various ways. Coupled with the paparazzi's fueling and nonsense, this incident became very weird. The most direct impact was, of course, that Wal-Mart's stock price fell again.

When such a situation occurs, William White will probably have no other expression besides a wry smile. Even if he came out to refute the rumors now, I'm afraid no one would listen. The weak market is like this. The world is full of false rumors. Anyway, as soon as there is any news, the stocks immediately fall, even if it is good news.
