Chapter 1593: Preparing for War
On the bank of the Huangpu River, the male and female employees of Half the Sky website were in high spirits. In the words of Fu Yunning, who was back on vacation, "I think with everyone's enthusiasm, the company doesn't need to turn on the heating."
The female founder and CEO who had been busy at the table raised her head when she heard this and looked at the little sisters with a smile.
She looked tired, but her brows and eyes were filled with enthusiasm and confidence that made people shine.
"Hey, I said don't look at me like that," Fuyun Ning was very dissatisfied when he saw the way she looked at him, "As if I'm an ignorant child."
"Then boss, are you still satisfied with our current progress?"
Fu Yunning held Xiang Xiaofang's face. It felt like it had only been a few months. There were more wrinkles on the good sister's forehead and at the corners of her eyes. "You have worked hard, I am very satisfied! Well,"
The next moment, with Xiang Xiaofang looking confused, their lips touched each other, and then, with big eyes staring at small eyes, they quickly separated.
"Wow, Xiangda Che, why don't you hide?" Fuyunning shouted loudly to cover up her embarrassment. The next moment, she became even more angry, "Ah, you still wipe your mouth?"
Xiang Xiaofang held the tissue that was about to be thrown into the trash can in her hand, "Who knew you would actually kiss me?"
At this moment, how could she still look as graceful and confident as before?
She was really teased by her little sister, and she couldn't even laugh or cry. What was going on?
Both of them looked out the window with fear. Fortunately, no one saw it. Otherwise, wouldn't their good reputation be ruined?
"Okay, okay," Xiang Xiaofang poured a cup of coffee for the little sister who finally calmed down after a long commotion, "Although the activity suggested by Yiping was expensive, the effect was indeed outstanding and attracted the attention of many readers. , it has also attracted many high-quality authors to join, and various data have been greatly improved."
"I have decided to convene a board meeting in the near future. We will not consider profit in the early stage and hold such activities regularly to quickly expand the influence of our website,"
"I agree," Fu Yunning said immediately, "I remember Feng Yiping repeatedly said that users are the most critical. If we consider profit from the beginning, it is undoubtedly short-sighted. With more loyal users, we will be able to continue to work in the future. Do you need to worry about making a profit?”
"The small money in front of us doesn't matter. The huge success in the future is our goal."
The main purpose of starting their own business was to become financially independent and to prove themselves to their families so that they could control their own lives in the future.
So, from the beginning, both of them were the kind of people who had a long-term vision.
"Sister Xiaofang, I think you have changed a lot in the past few months," Fu Yunning said.
"Really, you are haggard and your skin is getting worse?" Xiang Xiaofang asked, touching her face.
"No, I think it's mainly because of your temperament. How should I put it? Your whole person exudes a confident and moving brilliance from the inside out."
In Fu Yunning's eyes, Xiang Xiaofang's current radiance can instantly make those sisters in the circle who worry about their clothes all day long, those so-called sisters who have joined the fashion circle and develop their own fashion careers, casually instantly Into slag.
"Haha, you said it so nicely, I very much doubt your purpose of coming today," Xiang Xiaofang smiled.
"What I said is true. How should I put it? Your temperament was naturally good before, but it was not as distinct as it is now. It seems that work can really change a person to a great extent," Fu Yunning looked at Xiang with some envy. Xiaofang said.
"Oh, that's what you're talking about. I think this is mainly because we have become more pragmatic and real," Xiang Xiaofang said.
"It turns out that we may all have our eyes too high. After starting our own business, we have been exposed to many specific matters and have a personal and in-depth understanding of many things. This may be the reason why you see the difference between me now and before. "
"So, if you also want such a change, it's very simple, just work in the company for a few months,"
Xiang Xiaofang now somewhat understands why Feng Yiping works so hard but is still so motivated? Because the sense of accomplishment that work brings is unmatched by other things.
"Really? Tell me quickly, what can I do now?" Fu Yunning asked immediately.
"I think we can go upstairs to study first,"
…………
A few floors up, it will be busier than ever. People here generally walk at a trot, and speak with a machine gun-like haste.
As the countdown to the launch of Jiasheng Mall begins, the atmosphere here has been like this these days.
Almost without thinking too much, Feng Yiping placed Jiasheng Mall here instead of the capital, because for a long time, the most buyers were concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, which later provided free shipping. area.
He felt that the company must be closer to users.
However, the company's employees are not only busy with the online mall itself.
As early as a month ago, a series of promotional activities in various media and in various forms had been launched in full swing. Half a month after the mall was launched, a grand one-week shopping festival began.
This time, Feng Yiping can be said to have invested a lot of money in trying to make more users know about Jiasheng Mall and like Jiasheng Mall.
Therefore, the launch of Jiasheng Mall this time is different from the launch of other websites of the company.
Not only do they have to ensure that the interface of the entire website is flawless, but they also have to coordinate every store on the website.
Those flagship stores and specialty stores that have settled in the mall, whether they are well-known brands or unknown brands, all hope that merchants can bring out their main products, promise greater discounts, and prepare more inventory.
Of course, in order to make its own reputation in one fell swoop and strive to make Jiasheng Mall a representative of the domestic B2C platform, the company has also taken out real money to subsidize those merchants with strong promotion efforts.
At present, there are less than 10,000 merchants settled in Jiasheng Mall, and less than half of them have confirmed to participate in this event. However, based on Jiasheng's consistent principle of doing things well, negotiating and striving with so many merchants, this workload is really not ordinary.
Although Jiasheng people are inevitably a little arrogant now, they are also first-class in their courage and willingness to work. One guy even persuaded the well-known local automobile company Volkswagen to let them participate in this event.
You know, even Feng Yiping is not ready to sell big items such as cars on his online platform.
Feng Yiping can imagine how much effort that colleague will spend to negotiate with customers like Volkswagen.
But as far as the whole company is concerned, there are many people who work as hard as that person. These days, many young people in the company who are only in their twenties not only have bloodshot eyes, but also bags under their eyes.
At night, you walk around the company. There are tents everywhere in the office, conference room, corridor, and front hall. These days, many people have consciously regarded the company as their home.
Even if the company's senior management, including Feng Yiping, did not repeatedly emphasize the significance of this project, everyone can see that the company attaches great importance to this project.
These preparation personnel are all elite soldiers drawn from various companies.
Many employees recognized other outstanding annual employees who had been commended by the company at the annual meeting with them. Here, it seems to be a large gathering of outstanding employees of the group.
Many engineers were surprised when they saw their colleague's badge, "You, you, aren't you the best engineer of Auto.com?"
The other party was also surprised, "Aren't you the best engineer of Tongcheng.com? Why are you here too?"
Not only is the composition of the employees different, but the behavior of the group leaders and the leaders of various departments at the headquarters also let everyone see that they value their work.
In addition to Jiasheng Mall, do you know any other project that President Jin will visit at least four times a day? Not only once in the morning, noon and evening, but also once at night.
They heard that even President Feng was going to stay in China for such a long time this time, also for the launch of the mall.
A while ago in the capital, he quickly negotiated the group's payment platform and cooperation with major domestic banks, and quickly passed the approval of relevant departments, laying a good foundation for the smooth operation of the mall.
Now, it seems that President Feng is inspecting along the Beijing-Shanghai line, inspecting the warehouses along the way, and testing everyone's work results.
…………
The news is correct. Feng Yiping is inspecting along the Beijing-Shanghai line with five cars.
Feng Yiping had already explained the matter of acquiring land to build a large logistics warehouse at the main line of the logistics network. He has been doing it for many years, but before, it was for the logistics company's own use, and the actual development area was not large.
Since last year, as he decided to launch his own online platform this year, the relevant work has been accelerated, because everyone has a basic understanding of e-commerce, and achieving sales online is only the first step.
It is very important to deliver the goods ordered by users quickly and accurately to the users, and it is also the most critical link in determining user satisfaction.
The first stop of Feng Yiping's trip was the warehouse in the suburbs of Beijing.
As you can imagine, this is one of the largest warehouses that have been built, covering an area of nearly 10,000 square meters. It is not only used as a warehouse for online malls, but also part of it is used as a warehouse for convenience stores.
When they arrived, they encountered merchants delivering goods here continuously, which was very lively.
In order to be able to deliver the goods ordered online to users faster, they suggested that some merchants prepare stocks here in advance for the goods they think will definitely sell well.
"At present, merchants can only prepare stocks based on experience," Feng Yiping said, looking at the bustling scene in front of him, "Once our cloud platform is built and all relevant data are applied, we can provide merchants with more accurate suggestions from the perspective of big data,"
"Specifically, if a user has previously purchased baby strollers, milk powder, diapers and other infant products in our mall, our big data will remind the relevant merchants that the user may buy related products again in a week or half a month, and they can prepare stocks in this warehouse in advance,"
"Or, according to Walmart's experience in mining big data, notify diaper merchants to prepare stocks while also notifying beer merchants to prepare stocks,"
Diapers and beer, these two originally unrelated products, were discovered by Walmart through big data analysis that they are actually highly related products. The most purchased product together with diapers is beer.
He has already told this example before, and everyone laughed when they heard it.
However, a cruel fact is that Chinese dads do not seem to be as happy as American dads, who can buy a few cans of beer when buying diapers for their children.
"This warehouse has a very high degree of automation," said several people from the Magic Workshop, looking at the warehouse in front of them that directly reflects the power of modern business.
"Really?" Feng Yiping asked back.
This warehouse is based on their own warehouse, combined with other technologies, especially Netflix's warehouse technology, to create a warehouse with the highest level of automation in Forex.
But compared with Feng Yiping's requirements, this is naturally still far from it.
"Look, basically every link is inseparable from manpower. We can imagine, if this warehouse has to handle 100,000 packages a day, how many workers will be needed?"
"This is the purpose of bringing you here today. I hope that from now on, you can take the intelligence of the warehouse as a long-term subject,"
"For example, because the driving path is very regular, can these forklifts realize automatic driving? In the future, can the entry and exit of goods be completed autonomously by entering the relevant data on the computer?"
"Also, can the identification and sorting of the express parcels we receive be replaced by some intelligent devices without manpower? They first identify the received parcels, then autonomously classify these parcels by address, and autonomously deliver the parcels to the designated location in the warehouse and hand them over to the relevant couriers?"
"So, comrades, there are still many places where we need to work hard, that is, there are still many opportunities for us,"
He stood in front of the warehouse with his hands on his waist, standing in front of another big business of his, full of energy.
