Chapter 2360: Remarkable Results

After the briefing, it was time for everyone to communicate freely, which was also very fun. Those familiar guys gathered together to chat and brag - in the words here, it is called blowing cheeks.

They do have a lot to say, because although they belong to two groups, they both have the same boss, and the business and financial exchanges between the two parties are much closer than between ordinary companies and partners.

Of course, the communication between the financial departments of both parties should be a little more serious. Brothers must also settle accounts clearly. Everyone should be more cautious when it comes to the figures of money.

Others are much happier.

As soon as he came out of the conference room, Xiong Yuliang took advantage of his height and size, and squeezed in next to Lao Ma, "Mr. Ma, how about we set things up for you?"

Lao Ma was stunned, and the surrounding area was quiet for a while, and then burst into laughter.

In fact, Lao Xiong, a tough man from the Northeast, suddenly picked up his tongue and spoke in the soft Qiantang dialect, which really had a comedic effect.

Xiong Yuliang shouted, "Why are you laughing? Isn't what I said standard? Is it Mr. Ma?"

Lao Ma smiled and nodded, "It's pretty good,"

"Our affairs are set in stone for the time being,"

Everyone laughed again, because Xiong Yuliang, who had just shouted that he spoke the dialect here well, now looked confused. It was obvious that he didn't know what Lao Ma meant by this.

"Mr. Xiong, didn't you speak very standardly? Why, can't you understand?"

"Who says I can't understand? Mr. Ma hasn't finished what he said yet. I'll wait for him to say more," Xiong Yuliang said immediately.

"Mr. Xiong, we'll talk about it later," Lao Ma said. "Mr. Jin, everyone, let's go to the teahouse by the West Lake and chat over a drink, okay?"

"No, we don't want tea, we want wine," one guy shouted.

Moreover, his proposal was supported by many people.

Lao Ma glanced at Jin Ling, who nodded. The free communication that followed was always very casual. They could relax as much as they wanted. It was good to chat while drinking.

"Okay, then let's go to Lakeside Road," Lao Ma called the secretary and asked her to contact a bar immediately.

At a gathering like today, although everyone is just chatting, the things they talk about are not simple given their level, so the venue can only be reserved.

…………

Although it looks like a friendship between the two companies, in fact, when everyone comes together, they mainly talk about work.

When he went to the bar, he took his own car driven by someone from Lao Ma's side. Xiong Yuliang got into the car of Mr. Zhang, who was in charge of operations at Lao Ma's side.

The "matter" between him and Lao Ma is actually about expanding Meijia's sales through the e-commerce platform.

After all, the construction of Meijia hypermarkets is very slow. Up to now, they only have physical stores in a few first-tier and quasi-first-tier cities. And outside of those cities, there are many customers who hope to buy Meijia products.

The e-commerce platform is undoubtedly a good supplement at this time.

But when selling furniture online, many issues need to be refined. Let’s not talk about other issues. After it arrives at the user’s location, how should it be delivered from the pick-up point to the user’s home, and how should the cost be borne? There are also inspection, assembly, and what to do if it doesn't fit and needs to be returned... there are many questions.

There are simple and crude methods. For example, in the end, users are asked to pick up and assemble it themselves. If they want to return the goods, they can find a way to send it to the shipping department...

But obviously, that approach will definitely not be the most satisfactory to users.

Xiong Yuliang hoped to discuss the best way with Lao Ma and the others.

Similarly, many people from Lao Ma have also approached the heads of many departments and companies of Jiasheng Group. They hope to cooperate more closely with Youjia Convenience, Jiasheng Logistics... and hope that Jiasheng's business departments and can share more customers with them.

As an open platform, they hope that more merchants can open stores on Taobao and Jiasheng Mall to do business.

Many of Jiasheng's customers are the targets of their development.

In addition to discussing mutual cooperation, another focus of their conversation was to understand each other's work.

If they didn't quite understand the company's intention when they first received the email about participating in such a meeting, by the end of the first meeting, they all understood the company's thinking.

Bringing everyone together regularly in this way is not only to strengthen communication, deepen understanding, and promote more collaboration. It seems that the company is preparing for everyone's job transfer or the future merger of the two groups.

The affairs of the world will be divided if they are divided for a long time.

In the past, the e-commerce department was separated from Jiaqiang to enable better development of e-commerce. However, when it reaches a certain level in the future, in order to achieve better development for both parties, it is inevitable to merge the two companies together. way of doing.

To put it simply, e-commerce can bring great help to many companies in Huasheng in terms of sales, but many companies in Huasheng can also bring a lot of help to e-commerce, including bringing them to e-commerce groups. No traffic is too much.

When both parties have developed to a certain stage, it will naturally be more scientific to put the two groups into the same management system and merge some of the business departments of the two groups.

Therefore, it is hard to say that those who are in charge of Youjia Convenience and Jiasheng Supermarket today will be transferred to the e-commerce department in the future to be responsible for stocking online supermarkets. Similarly, Fan Hai may also be transferred to the e-commerce department to be responsible for preparing the tourism section. …

The reverse is also true.

For their own career prospects, everyone will understand each other more thoroughly, and the future will be easier.

Therefore, although they arrived at their destination quickly and sat at an open-air table in a lakeside bar on Hubin Road, they had little time to appreciate the beautiful scenery of West Lake, let alone drinking.

Either they discussed cooperation or learned from each other.

There were indeed many people taking notes with notebooks or computers.

Jin Ling and Lao Ma were chatting in a relaxed manner until Gao Zhiyi interrupted, "Mr. Ma, what do you think about the question in Yiping's email?"

Jin Ling said, "Let me talk about your opinion first,"

"Yiping's question is very big, and I have only thought about one aspect at present," Gao Zhiyi said, "I remember that a few years ago, Jack Welch, the president of GE, was widely regarded as a role model by all walks of life. At that time, his books were placed together with those of Carnegie and Konosuke Matsushita in bookstores,"

"But after he stepped down, especially in recent years, GE's development has become more and more difficult,"

"So I think this has a lot to do with Welch's excessive focus on immediate benefits. During his tenure, he did successfully grasp the present, but the companies with poor performance that he dealt with at that time may have caused GE to lose its future,"

Jin Ling and Lao Ma both showed a satisfied look.

Gao Zhiyi's angle was well chosen and very high.

In particular, he dared to raise objections to the practices of Welch, who was once considered a god, which is also rare.

Lao Ma knew Gao Zhiyi, who was also Feng Yiping's earliest employee. He had worked at Forex earlier than Jin Ling. He thought to himself that Feng Yiping was indeed a man of good vision.

"You are right. As a person in charge of a company, if you focus too much on the present, the decisions you make will inevitably be short-sighted. So such a company may flourish for a while, but it is difficult to last long," Lao Ma said.

"We have had some discussions on this aspect a long time ago. We believe that it is difficult for any Internet company to maintain its advantages for a long time."

"So while we are working on this project, we are already considering where to focus next."

"We hope that it will always be like this, one down and one up," Lao Ma gestured with his hands.

"For example, our first project was Alibaba, and then Taobao, but the next focus will be Forex Mall. After the mall, our Alipay has reached a time when it can develop greatly. Alipay has developed to a certain foundation because our backbone logistics network has been built and our Cainiao Network has reached a big stage. When developing...then start rotating,"

"In this way, the echelon develops, fights organically, and forms a cycle,"

"We have given this random idea a name, called the track strategy,"

"When a tank is moving, there are always some tracks that will be vacant, but it is these vacant tracks and the working tracks that form a complete whole to ensure that the tank can continue to move forward,"

"...So Zhiyi, you are right," Lao Ma said excitedly, rolled up his sleeves again, picked up the beer bottle and blew, "We can't pay too much attention to the immediate benefits. On the contrary, for the sake of future development, some projects that are currently causing losses, we should not only not cut them off, but also increase investment, and develop more similar projects..."

"Some of the current losses are to create more benefits for us in the future," said Gao Zhiyi.

"Yes," Lao Ma said, "so Jack Welch's set..."

The two of them became more and more speculative as they talked, and simply left Jin Ling aside.

Jin Ling looked around and saw that there were many people like them who were talking more and more speculatively and more and more energetic.

So she faced the shimmering West Lake and drank her cocktail comfortably, enjoying the scent of osmanthus carried by the wind.
