Chapter 1438 Not Idle
In March, almost all industries in the distance were in the stage of preparation and integration.
Apart from firing a few cannonballs, Li Dong can't do practical things for the time being.
However, there is no way to expand the industry temporarily, but it is no problem to deepen the industrial layout.
From March 2nd, Yuanfang began to carry out large-scale advertising.
Mainly promote Wanka's offline code scanning payment business, and the rebates for scanning code payment have been increased.
Yuanfang claims to invest 2 billion to give back to customers.
As long as you complete a single offline QR code payment, the rebate can range from hundreds to a few cents.
Before Yu'e Bao goes online, Li Dong needs to open up the market of Wanka and expand the scale.
In addition, by the way, let’s promote OPPO smart phones, not to mention that there are few people now, and it won’t cost 2 billion. Even if it really costs 2 billion, it can be earned back from the smart phones alone.
Now every time a mobile phone is sold, Li Dong's profit is several hundred yuan.
After controlling the manufacturers and channels, most of the profits flowed into Li Dong's pockets.
If 10 million mobile phones can be sold, the two 2 billion Li Dongs will be earned back.
...
The offline payment business is growing, and the sales of mobile phones are also increasing.
There is also news from the Ministry of Commerce that the monopoly case has been put on hold for the time being, and it will be dealt with after the attention is low.
In addition, Forbes is very cooperative with Li Dong, and they are arguing with Li Dong all over the world, attracting continuous attention from various media, which makes Li Dong feel good.
As soon as he was in a good mood, Li Dong remembered what Zhang Xiaolong said before.
On March 3rd, Li Dong remembered this and asked Bai Su about it.
As a result, Bai Su also said in surprise: "Didn't you agree last time?"
"I agreed?"
Li Dong really didn't remember, he was a little dazed.
Bai Su's heart is tired, and the boss's forgetfulness is getting bigger and bigger.
Helpless, Bai Su had no choice but to say: "Boss Liu came to ask you, if you talk about trivial matters, just let him do whatever you want, and after that, your personal emoticon package will be launched.
After all, you are very popular now. I heard that after the emoji package was launched, our PP users have increased a lot. "
"But why didn't I see it?"
Li Dong raised the phone in his hand, feeling a little puzzled.
"You haven't updated it? The old version doesn't have it, but the new version does."
Li Dong was relieved after hearing this, and then began to update.
After the update was completed and the emoticon system was turned on, Li Dong suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth and said cursingly: "What the hell, who gave the matching words, I don't want to be confused!"
His personal exclusive emoticon pack, the first one is the appearance of a ferocious roar, with four big characters next to it - cannon him!
The following series of "don't accept it and come to fight", "some kind bite me", "do you want to die"...
Seeing these lyrics, Li Dong felt like vomiting blood.
Ma De, it's enough for me to hack myself, it's enough for netizens to hack me, and my own people in the distance are also hacking me, it's the rhythm of courting death!
Seeing his ferocious face, Bai Su said dryly, "Mr. Li, your emoji is really popular, everyone likes it very much, you say it's down-to-earth.
What's more..."
What's more, it is also a fact!
As soon as the emoticon package was launched, Bai Su updated the version and posted it in all the groups, which was very popular.
Now the boss is not going to forcibly go offline, right?
Bai Su thought in his heart, and thought to himself, he should go back and save it for a while, so as not to have nothing to play after being forcibly logged out.
Just as she was thinking, she heard Li Dong snort, "Let Liu Hong come here!"
Bai Su secretly complained again, it's over, it's a public revenge, according to her understanding of Li Dong, the possibility of Li Dong going offline by force should not be too high.
Looking for Liu Hong, the possibility of getting mad directly because of this matter is not very high.
However, the boss often finds faults from the head, and Mr. Liu may not be able to eat it later.
Without thinking about it, Bai Su hurried out of the office.
...
ten minutes later.
Liu Hong entered the office with a smile on his face, and smiled as soon as he entered the door: "Mr. Li, do you know?"
"what do you know?"
"Our Wanka mobile downloads have exceeded 6 million,
Almost for every 4 users who use smart phones, 3 have downloaded our Onecard.
Now on the mobile side, our market share surpasses others with the absolute number one.
The download volume of Alipay's mobile terminal is less than 2 million. I wonder if they have used their own data.
It may be lower than 2 million. After all, in my opinion, their Alipay has no advantages at all in the mobile field.
What's more, we have 6 million here, and I don't think the rest of the users will use electronic payment software.
Their 2 million, I suspect most of them are fake data. "
"It's not the first time that Ma Yun has made a fake, so there's no fuss."
Li Dong didn't take it seriously, then asked Liu Hong to sit down, and casually said, "How is the preparation for Weibo's C round of financing going?"
"Still in preparation, this time we have invited many institutions to conduct a joint assessment.
However, the market environment has not been improved, and the Internet industry is still in a downturn.
You said that the pre-financing valuation was US$6 billion, and almost no institution gave such a valuation.
The highest one only gave a valuation of 5 billion US dollars, and there was only one.
Most of them are concentrated between 4 billion and 4.5 billion US dollars..."
"Snapped!"
Li Dong suddenly slammed the table and scolded: "Nonsense!
How to do the assessment?
I said 6 billion US dollars, that was before!
Now I am more famous, and far away is more famous, and the 6 billion US dollars is less, and you actually told me that the preparation has been such a result until now!
Billions or tens of billions are missing, can you fill it back for me?
If you can't even do a simple financing, how can you expect to do anything else!
If it is less than 6 billion US dollars, don't tell me the result!
Also, I want to raise funds before June, prepare for the listing in half a year, and strive for listing at the end of the year, so as to continue to expand the reputation of Yuanfang!
Weibo is just our vanguard, first use Weibo to open the way, and the effect will be good, so that people will know the prestige in the distance!
Now you tell me that you can't even get financing done, how do you do it?
If you can't do it, let someone else do it..."
Li Dong scolded for a while, but Liu Hong was a little puzzled and kept complaining.
Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?
This thing is not as much as I say, and the market environment must be considered.
If Yuanfang valued himself too high, that would be a big problem.
When financing, no institution is willing, that is a big joke!
Therefore, the valuation and amount of Weibo financing need to take into account multiple parties, rather than the final decision of a distant family.
Li Dong is so angry now, it doesn't make sense.
It's the result of whoever replaces it.
Of course it’s okay to say 6 billion US dollars, but the key is, when the financing fails, who will bear the responsibility?
If you don't consider the consequences, he is now giving Li Dong a valuation of 10 billion U.S. dollars, which is just a matter of a document.
Isn't the boss really blowing himself up?
Liu Hong sighed inwardly, but said hastily: "Then I'll redo the plan and re-elect an agency for evaluation."
"waste time!"
Li Dong snorted, "How long has it been since such a small matter? Still working on a plan, hasn't the plan been made yet?
With your efficiency, how do you get rich?
Within three days, I couldn't see the new plan, and the financing project was handed over to someone else! "
Liu Hong had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
"Go!"
It's not the first time that I'm happy when I enter the door, but I look sad when I go out.
But after being scolded, Liu Hong really couldn't feel better.
When he got out of the office, Bai Su couldn't help being speechless when he saw his dejected face, and whispered: "Mr. Liu, have you been scolded?"
Liu Hong frowned slightly, glanced at her and said nothing.
Bai Su hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, I don't dare to watch your jokes.
But before entering the door, I called you, but you probably didn't hear it, and didn't stop.
Before you came, I knew I would be scolded. "
"how?"
"The emoji incident was posted. Mr. Li just saw it. He didn't remember it before." Bai Su reminded in a low voice.
Only then did Liu Hong suddenly realize, and then he said a little awkwardly: "How long has it been, I thought he knew about it a long time ago, I didn't mention it before, I thought Mr. Li didn't care."
As he said that, Liu Hong couldn't help but say, "Next time this happens, please remind me, Assistant Bai, I'll treat you to dinner.
I was a little puzzled by the scolding just now. "
Bai Su nodded with a smile, and then said with a smile: "In the future, I have to ask Mr. Liu to take care of me. Maybe one day, I will have to work under your command."
Liu Hong glanced at her, his eyes moved slightly, and said with a light smile, "If Assistant Bai can come to Yuanfang Science and Technology to guide the work, then I absolutely welcome it!"
"Mr. Liu is too polite, the director dare not."
"..."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, but Liu Hong didn't stay for long.
Although Li Dong made use of the topic, the financing plan really needs to be finalized as soon as possible.
As for the meaning of Bai Su's words, he probably understood a little bit, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Yuanfang was established five years ago, and Li Dong changed three secretaries.
Each term generally does not exceed two years.
Bai Su has been Li Dong's secretary for more than a year, and it is not impossible to prepare to continue to develop now.
...
Li Dong is busy doing big things.
Others were not idle either.
Bai Su is not going to continue to be Li Dong's secretary anymore, she made up her mind a long time ago, and as Li Dong's wedding is approaching, she doesn't want to stay by Li Dong's side anymore.
And entering Yuanfang Technology is also her own plan.
At present, although Yuanfang retail is still the main focus, she can feel that Yuanfang Technology will surpass the retail part sooner or later, and even integrate with the retail part.
It is more suitable for her to enter the development of distant science and technology than to enter the retail group.
...
Bai Su is preparing for a job change.
And Qin Yuhan, who is far away in the Shanghai stock market, is officially starting to prepare for his own catering O2O platform.
When Li Dong summoned Liu Hong, Qin Hai and his wife also arrived at the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Dongyu Dessert House has now been renamed by Qin Yuhan and established Dongyu Catering Co., Ltd.
The headquarters was set up in the Shanghai stock market by Qin Yuhan.
Although Dongyu Dessert House started in the capital, compared with the northern market, the south is more suitable for the development of dessert houses and more accepting of emerging industries.
Rented company headquarters.
After listening to his daughter's words, Qin Hai pondered for a moment and said, "The model you mentioned is the Internet industry, but it is actually a labor-intensive industry.
It's just online ordering, I know this, in fact, someone said it a long time ago.
Even for a while, Li Dong also said this.
Online food ordering platforms actually have high requirements for express delivery, which is a very time-sensitive and regional business.
During the meal time period, it is an outbreak period.
But if I missed the meal, I fell into a period of silence.
If you set up a dedicated express delivery operation team according to what you said, the cost will increase significantly.
Moreover, the daily business volume is concentrated in one time period. In order to ensure timeliness, a large number of manpower is required in that time period.
But once it is not at this time, these people will be idle.
How can we ensure that couriers can get the salary they want, and how can we ensure that they will always have business to do?
In addition, it is actually a big trouble related to food.
The issue of food safety is getting more and more attention now, Yuanfang has done very strict monitoring in this regard.
You said that it is almost impossible to start the dessert house business first. How much business can just one dessert house have?
With this amount of business, what platform and courier team are there? Isn't this a waste of money?
To do it, you can only do a covered catering platform, but once covered, the platform needs to take food safety into consideration, and supervision is also a hassle.
These things will increase the cost of expenditure.
The choice of cooperative merchants is also very important. In fact, you do not cooperate when you say you want to cooperate. Now it is actually the merchants who choose you.
Why should he enter your platform?
With just one phone call, they can deliver meals. What do you want them to do?
What can you bring them?
Better business or popularity or profits?
If they can't do that, they won't choose to work with you.
But what is the purpose of your platform?
The purpose of doing business is naturally to make money. According to what you said, the ultimate profit point lies in the huge increase in traffic, commissions and express service fees.
But in my opinion, there is no need to have any income in the early stage.
The operation and promotion of the website is a big cost expenditure.
And if you really want to do well and make it bigger, the initial investment is astronomical.
Or, simply just be a platform and outsource the express delivery, which will save a lot of cost, manpower and material resources..."
Qin Hai talked eloquently, Qin Yuhan and Qi Fangfang looked at each other, after a long while, Qi Fangfang said dryly, "Uncle is really amazing."
Qin Hai laughed and said: "What's so great about this, just say a few words casually.
In short, the online food ordering platform looks easy and simple, but it is actually very troublesome.
Now, either build a complete industrial chain, or build a single platform for centralized order processing.
Yuhan, which one do you think is suitable? "
Qin Yuhan smiled wryly and said, "Dad, I didn't think about it so much, you really learned a lot from afar, and now you are much better than us when it comes to these things.
Dad, don't hide it, which one do you think is better? "
Qin Hai laughed and said: "What am I hiding, in fact, in the long run, it is more promising to be an industrial chain.
Outsourcing of express delivery is okay if no one does it now, but if someone does it later, it will not be competitive.
If you look at Yuanfang Mall, you will know that it is only because of the existence of self-operated express delivery that it can defeat other opponents.
This vertical management can ensure high timeliness and high efficiency.
A single platform is actually similar to Taobao. If it really becomes bigger, it will also be competitive.
But once attacked by the opponent and overtaken by the opponent, the competitiveness will disappear.
However, as a single platform, the cost will drop a lot, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. "
As he talked, he continued: "But we are just starting to do it now, and we can actually do a local and regional industrial chain coverage.
The Shanghai stock market is too big, and our funds are not enough to complete this investment.
You can choose a district, an area with many universities and business buildings, and make a platform and express coverage.
Around 5 million should be enough.
If you spend a little more energy in the early stage, you can also save a lot of costs. I will do the express delivery, and I will try it first.
After making money, or when the scale is large, you can choose financing or other methods to continue to cover other areas. "
"Then you mean that both the platform and the express delivery have been done?" Qin Yuhan asked.
"Well, I understand express delivery. You can only come to the platform yourself, choose a suitable area, and I will go to investigate and do a selection of express delivery points.
By the way, let's do personnel preparations. If you want to do it, you must be efficient and don't procrastinate.
In this era, efficiency is the magic weapon. "
Before Qin Yuhan could speak, Qi Fangfang smiled and said, "Uncle, you speak like Li Dong."
Qin Hai glanced at Qin Yuhan, then smiled silently.
After all, I have been working far away for several years, so there is always some influence in it.
Li Dong is a person who pays great attention to efficiency. In terms of logistics, Li Dong has very high requirements. Regarding efficiency and safety, he will make a meeting report almost every week.
After so long, Qin Hai has gotten used to it.
Of course, this is easier said than done, but Qin Hai, who has managed tens of thousands of couriers, thinks that managing a small area is no problem.
Even if the Shanghai stock market is covered now, he can quickly lay out the express delivery network.
The premise is that there is this necessity, this demand, and this financial support.
In the distance, everything else is difficult, except for funds, Li Dong will find a way to raise them. Although he complains about the lack of money every day, in fact, these people really don't worry about money.
Qin Yuhan heard her father say this, and immediately said: "Well, Fangfang will start preparing the website operation team and building a platform now.
I am responsible for finding cooperative merchants and discussing cooperation matters. In addition, after the platform is built, you will be responsible for the promotion of Fangfang.
Dad, the laying of the express network will be left to you.
Mom, I'll leave all the internal affairs of the company to you.
We don't have many people now, so we can save as much as we can.
As for the money, Dad, you will lend me the 5 million first, if it is not enough, Dongyu Dessert House can also mortgage a little bit, it should be enough in the early stage..."
Qin Yuhan hurriedly started arranging tasks, and when she got busy, she didn't have to think about anything else!
Seeing their daughter's positive expression, Qin Hai and Yang Yun looked at each other and smiled.
This is a good thing, save me from frowning all day long.
As for money, even if you lose all of it, you won't starve to death.
At least, the three of them can still maintain a well-off level if they go out to find a company casually.
One has been a level 9 executive in a distant place, one is a financial director in the early stage of a distant place, and there is a daughter who graduated from Beijing University. It is no problem for the family to find a job.
As soon as the daughter gave an order, the couple also started to get busy.
In a short period of time, it seems that the daughter is not ready to start a new relationship. If this is the case, it is not bad to be a strong woman.
PS: I almost fell asleep while writing. It may be that there are too many code words recently. The plot is a bit boring and I can’t lift my spirits. Try to maintain the level. The long-term high-efficiency update feels a bit slippery. Brothers, please be considerate.
