Chapter 87 Business Planning
After 2008, there are not too many ways to really make a lot of money.
The structures of the two worlds are somewhat different, but the development trend is generally the same.
In the next ten years, when it comes to making money, you will generally not leave real estate, the Internet, smart phones and their derivative industries.
Real estate, Fang Ping is not qualified to do it, and it is not realistic.
He can't even speculate in real estate now, and now Fang Ping only has 1.6 million in cash on hand.
In a world with warriors, it is even more difficult to get involved in an industry like real estate, and Fang Ping is not yet qualified.
Mobile phone manufacturing, let alone Fang Ping's business. At this time, smart phones have already appeared, and others are producing them. Fang Ping can't enter.
The Internet is relatively simpler, and the requirements for entering the industry are lower.
As for the issue of restrictions on warriors, it is insignificant if non-warriors do not cross the city because it is located in the magic capital.
Moreover, Fang Ping is now enjoying the treatment of a first-rank warrior, and there are no restrictions in this regard. As for the fourth-rank and above cross-province, it is too early for Fang Ping now.
But the Internet has a certain technical content, and it is not something you can do if you want to.
In terms of online shopping, although Ari is not very famous today, the scale is actually quite large, and Lao Ma is even rumored to have broken through to the seventh rank.
Doing online shopping now, let alone a dead end, it is still very difficult to make it bigger.
Of course, you can find another way to do brand online shopping similar to Vipshop.
But for Fang Ping, this is not advisable, he does not have that kind of channel, and the agency of the brand is very complicated, and it cannot be solved in a short while.
Others such as Internet finance, social software, online games, search engines, online videos...
Without exception, none of them apply to the current Fang Ping.
Regarding what to do next, Fang Ping actually thought about it for a long time. After he was reborn, he began to make plans.
Thinking back to the tycoons who prospered after 2008 in his previous life, Fang Ping found that there were very few tycoons who really rose after 2008, and the two most famous ones were those who made online food delivery.
Whether it’s Ele.me or Meituan,
The founders of these two companies only started doing it after 2008.
In the beginning, these two had no capital, almost starting from scratch.
In just a few years, he has accumulated a lot of wealth... Of course, it is more of a literal wealth.
In addition to the online food ordering platform, another industry that has risen after 2008, with low technical content and easy start is the express delivery industry.
In fact, the express delivery industry is closely related to the online catering platform, and the rise of the express delivery industry is inseparable from the development of the online shopping business.
Now Ahri's person is still dormant, Fang Ping knows that soon, Ahri's online shopping platform will create waves in this country.
Fang Ping hadn't thought about punching big and small horses at the moment, he was afraid of being slapped to death by the grandmaster.
But he still understands the truth of taking advantage of the momentum and following in the footsteps of big shots.
In the future wealth list, in addition to the two fields of real estate and the Internet, the rich people on the list will also be among the best in the field of express logistics.
Especially e-commerce logistics!
At this time, there are many courier companies in Shanghai, but most of these companies still focus on ordinary express delivery, while logistics companies mainly focus on bulk transportation.
There is no one that really focuses on the e-commerce field!
Fang Ping has been thinking for a long time, e-commerce logistics and catering platforms are his first choice.
The requirements for entry into the industry are not high, and there is no need to spread it all at once. You can start dormant development in Shanghai, and when the conditions are right, you can deploy the whole country at any time.
Express delivery and catering do not have to exist independently, but can complement each other.
It can also be operated as a real business, including the catering platform, which can be operated as a real economy, without having to spread too much at one time.
First set up a few express delivery points, recruit some couriers, and build a simpler localized fast food ordering platform.
These few expenses are not too big, Fang Ping can still hold on.
If possible, you can talk to Ari at the Modu office about accepting e-commerce express delivery, but this matter is not available for the time being.
At present, Fang Ping is not a warrior, and his social status is not enough. If he comes to discuss cooperation, others may not pay attention to him.
But when he becomes a martial artist, with the identity of a college student in the capital city of martial arts, and then finds him to cooperate with him, the other party probably doesn't care about having another courier company.
The current major express logistics companies have relatively strong cooperation with Ali.
After all, the proportion of e-commerce business is very small, and everyone likes to answer and ignore it, but this situation will change soon.
Fang Ping had to reach a cooperation with Ari before the other companies adjusted their focus and become the other party's important partner in Shanghai.
...
With the direction, Fang Ping did not hesitate.
The next day, Fang Ping borrowed the car from the hotel and drove out of the hotel by himself without letting the other party drive.
Although he didn't have a driver's license, Fang Ping wasn't worried.
He told Li Chengze that he didn't have a driver's license, but Li Chengze told him that if he was found out, he could just show Fang Ping's martial arts certificate.
Although a martial arts certificate cannot replace a driver's license, as long as there is no accident, it will not be embarrassing.
Of course, if something goes wrong, it is Fang Ping's full responsibility.
Martial Dao Certificate has such advantages, Fang Ping, who considers himself an old driver, will naturally not let others drive, and drive out the door by himself.
...
Fang Ping's preferred location is the university town.
As one of the 6 districts of Shanghai, the university city has a large population and is close to the school, making it convenient for Fang Ping to do things.
Although the university town is headed by Wuhan University, the city of Wuhan is still a small number of college students. In the whole university town, most of them are ordinary students.
This is also Fang Ping's target audience.
Ordering fast food and shopping online are the easiest things for college students to accept. White-collar workers and college students are also the two types of people who are most capable of accepting new things.
What's more, online shopping has been developed for several years, and it is no longer a new thing.
In a metropolis like Shanghai, many students have already started online shopping business.
In a small city like Yangcheng, Fang Ping's doing this kind of business would be like courting death, but in Shanghai, it is the most suitable way to do this.
...
There are a total of 64 large and small universities in the university city!
There are full-time martial arts schools like Shanghai Wuhan University, there are East China Normal University and Shanghai Jiaotong University with martial arts departments, and there are pure liberal arts universities.
Ordinary liberal arts universities have the largest number of students. There can be 20,000 to 30,000 students in the fourth class. Including teachers, family members, and employees, it is normal for a university to have 40,000 to 50,000 students.
There are as few as Wuhan University, the devil's capital, with nearly ten thousand people.
The concentration of 64 universities has also resulted in the combined population of teachers and students in the university city approaching 2 million, which is comparable to the total population of a prefecture-level city.
This is still a school. Because of the concentration of schools, other derivative industries have inevitably been born here, and the business atmosphere is also very developed.
There are not too many high-end commercial places, because students are not the main consumers.
But there are countless commercial stores in general.
The entire University City, according to statistics, has a total population of more than 4.8 million!
This is ten times that of Yangcheng!
A university town with nearly 5 million people gathered, for Fang Ping, there is no place more suitable for doing business than this.
...
On August 1st, Fang Ping drove around the University City.
There is also a simple understanding of the distribution of various universities.
If you look at the University City as a whole, the Shanghai Martial Arts University is located in the south of the University City, close to the coast, and actually covers an area of 30,000 mu. Inside, you can really see the sea, but Fang Ping doesn't know it yet.
There are more than a dozen universities in the vicinity of Wuda, the magic capital, most of which are liberal arts universities. Wuda generally gathers far away, which may be mutually exclusive.
More than a dozen universities, students and teachers' families, more than 300,000 people.
It is very convenient for Fang Ping to be near Wuda, the capital city.
Due to the limited funds, Fang Ping did not intend to take down the University City at once, and started from the south of the University City, and slowly eroded it.
"Rent a slightly larger office for the construction of the catering platform and as a temporary headquarters.
More than a dozen universities are also widely distributed. If you want to complete the coverage, you must configure at least 5 distribution points, and one distribution point is responsible for the business of 3 schools.
In terms of recruitment, one distribution point is responsible for 3 schools, and the standard allocation is at least 10 people. "
"1 office, 5 distribution points, 50 courier employees...maybe it can be reduced appropriately, will 50 people be a little more?"
In the car, Fang Ping was looking for a suitable location while driving, while thinking about the next job.
The consumption level in Shanghai is very high, and the wages are not low.
In Yangcheng, 800 yuan can recruit people.
In Shanghai, even at this time, if the number of low-level jobs is less than 3000, there are not too many people doing it.
Even if it is calculated based on 3000, the salary of the courier alone is 150,000 a month.
In addition, there are customer service, telephone operators, technicians needed to build the platform, later operation personnel, and the marketing department responsible for developing the market...
The early stage is simpler, and other financial, regulatory, product, R&D, logistics, and manpower can be omitted.
But scattered, Fang Ping felt that at least 20 people were needed to set up the platform.
At the beginning, if you were hungry, a few people could do it, but the other party was only in a trial operation in a school.
In addition, Fang Ping himself did not want to spend too much energy on this, so he could only recruit more people to meet his needs.
The average salary of these 20 people is 5,000.
The salary alone costs more than 250,000 a month.
Salary is actually not a big deal. In the pure IT industry, employee salaries account for a large proportion. What Fang Ping wants to do is not in the pure IT industry. Salary expenses can only be counted as about 40% of the cost.
In other words, he has to spend more than 600,000 a month.
And there will be more in the early stage. After all, the rent is rarely paid monthly, and the first quarter payment is short, plus a deposit.
Maybe after a month, the 1.6 million he has on hand will be exhausted.
In the early stage, it was difficult to make much money from these businesses. After all, no business was undertaken, and the market needed to be developed, and the front was all investment.
"Would you like to join a courier company?"
Fang Ping thought for a while, if he joined, he could quickly open up the market and take on business.
In addition to paying more for the franchise fee, the return of funds will be faster.
But if you join, it will be difficult to build your own reputation. Fang Ping doesn't want to work for others all the time.
"It doesn't matter, first select the location, determine the location, and start recruiting people. In addition, I also need someone who is smart enough to be in charge of the general manager in my absence."
Others are easy to find, and the city lacks everything, so there is no shortage of people.
Go around the talent market, and you can find as many people as you want.
But those who have the ability to master it all depend on luck. If luck is not good, Fang Ping can only find someone who is a little more reliable, and he will spend more energy managing it.
At the end of the day, Fang Ping also looked back and forth to the southern part of the university town a few times.
The location of the distribution point and the office has been roughly determined, and the next step is to wait for the official start of work.
"Complete the preparatory work within one month, start publicity at the beginning of school, and pay back the cost as soon as possible.
I don't know if 1.6 million is enough, and I don't know if I can take a loan..."
In the evening, Fang Ping returned to the hotel, practiced routinely, and then began to make plans and design recruitment advertisements.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, Fang Ping is not afraid of hard work, success does not come easily.
He didn't want to be like Lao Wang, who came to the Martial Arts University to make a fuss, and ran around doing tasks for such a few resources.
The task can be done, but running around for hundreds of thousands or two hundred thousand yuan actually wastes time.
This is still the beginning, and when the level of martial arts is high, the consumption will be even greater.
At that time, could it be possible to meet one's own needs simply by doing tasks?
Today's masters, who do not have a lot of social resources in their hands.
The strength of martial arts depends not only on talent, but also on other skills, such as the ability to make money...
If you can't make money, then go to the government, but the government doesn't need mere thugs.
The governors of various places have strength on the one hand, and they also have strong management capabilities.
Being able to manage a province well is the reason why they get resources. Like Jin Keming, who lacks this ability, he was almost slapped.
Martial arts have never existed alone.
People want to eat and drink, especially warriors!
Going hand in hand is the foundation for the martial artist to become stronger and stronger.
"Old Wang will go to the government in the future, right?"
The idea came to Fang Ping's mind that he had no such plan, and that's why he was running his own business now.
There are too many official restrictions, not suitable for someone like Fang Ping.
