Chapter 261: Black-Hearted Businessman Li Dong

It is not Li Dong's whim to get involved in e-commerce.

In 2005, Li Dong was planning to start an e-commerce supermarket, but he didn't have much capital at that time, so he held back and dragged on until now.

Now that it's 2006, Li Dong is considered to have a small amount of capital.

Although he doesn't have much cash in hand, after the new year, Yuan Fang's monthly profit should reach 50 million.

A monthly profit of 50 million yuan translates into an annual profit of 600 million yuan.

Even if we open 50 more stores next year, we won't be able to spend so much money. Naturally, Li Dong won't put the remaining money in the bank to earn interest, and it's justified to spend it.

In the next few years, the Internet industry and real estate will be the real huge profits.

There are too many things involved in real estate, and Li Dong is not interested in getting involved for the time being.

As for the Internet, whether it is a search engine or something else, Li Dong has no experience and no such strength.

The only difference is the e-commerce platform, which is actually not difficult, and it is also an industry that is most closely related to the supermarket industry he is doing now. It is naturally easier to do e-commerce than others, and it does not seem obtrusive.

Of course, it's not difficult to return, and this platform is not so easy to do.

Handing it over to Shen Qian does not mean that Shen Qian can handle it alone.

It is impossible to build a good and excellent e-commerce platform without the support of a huge technical team.

It takes a lot of time just to build a team, and Li Dong doesn't expect Shen Qian to finish it in a short while.

However, compared to before, it is much easier to find IT elites now than before. There are also mature e-commerce platforms in China as a reference, which is much easier than before.

Shen Qian accepted the task with an eager look on her face, as if she couldn't wait.

Seeing her excited face, Li Dong couldn't help pouring cold water on her and said, "You should finish the annual meeting first. If you can't handle a small annual meeting, don't expect me to hand over the e-commerce to you."

Shen Qian raised her fist and vowed: "Don't worry! There is nothing that can stop me, Shen Qian!"

Li Dong shook his head and was speechless, not knowing whether his decision was right or not.

But compared to Sun Tao and Wang Yue,

Shen Qian is indeed more suitable than them, because Shen Qian is younger than them and better able to adapt to the Internet than them. Although Sun Tao and Wang Yue are not too old, they know too little about the Internet.

Li Dong's idea of ​​building an e-commerce platform told Shen Qian that it didn't matter much.

But if you tell Sun Tao and Wang Yue, they must have different opinions.

In their view, instead of spending so much money on an invisible virtual network platform, it would be more cost-effective to build more branches.

Today's largest e-commerce platform in China - Taobao, although it has been doing well, most of the physical merchants don't care much, because the market share occupied by e-commerce at this time is too small, not enough for everyone to pay attention to .

In this era, who has the most confidence in e-commerce is none other than Li Dong.

Even the old horse who founded Taobao is not necessarily more sure than Li Dong at this time.

...

January 15th.

The ten stores in the distance restored their original prices, and the turnover on that day dropped from the previous 15 million per day to just over 8 million.

Although the turnover has dropped by nearly half, the profit is not the same.

Previously, the ten stores in Yuanfang lost nearly 1 million a day, but on the 15th, the profit could reach 1 million.

Repeatedly, in one day, Yuanfang's net income increased by about 2 million.

At the same time, the performance of other stores also showed an increasing trend, and everyone inside Yuanfang was delighted for a while.

Li Dong and Sun Tao also breathed a sigh of relief, not because of making money, but because Carrefour and Tesco still haven't delivered new products.

It can be seen that these two supermarkets are really going to withdraw from the Jiangbei market.

Losing three competitors at once made Li Dong happier than earning 10 million yuan.

As for the remaining three, Li Dong is not going to provoke them for the time being, and will attack frequently, not to mention the far away, and they will be easily criticized.

Monopoly business is to make money, but Li Dong doesn't have the strength to eat the whole of Jiangbei yet.

That being the case, let go of some of them, and it will not be too late to swallow them when you have the strength.

...

Xinxin Milk Tea Shop.

Seeing Meng Qiping and Cheng Nan showing affection, you feed me, I feed you, Li Dong couldn't help shaking his head.

Some time ago, the two were still arguing, but Li Dong thought that the two had a good chance of scoring.

But today's young people are too difficult to understand. After a while, the two reunited, as sweet as honey.

Seeing that the two were getting more and more excessive, Li Dong couldn't help knocking on the table and interrupted: "I said you two, pay attention to the influence, okay?"

Cheng Nan's face turned red when he heard this, and he calmed down a little.

The fat man said with a hippie smile: "Brother Dong, if you're jealous, just say it, everyone in this store is grown up, so there's nothing wrong with it."

Li Dong rolled his eyes and didn't bother to talk to him.

The fat man continued to laugh and laugh: "Brother Dong, I said that you are too black-hearted in doing business. Let me just say that I went to Guanhai to play a few days ago and came back with a box of instant noodles. It only cost 28 yuan a box. At that time, I thought You are the best at doing business in Jiangbei, I have praised you for a long time."

"I can buy it again yesterday, good guy, 40 yuan a box, what a scam!"

"If I knew you were going to raise the price, you could call me in advance. I bought dozens of boxes of instant noodles, and now I can make a small profit by selling them. I missed a good opportunity!"

The fat man paused as he spoke, with an annoyed look on his face.

Not to mention Li Dong, Cheng Nan couldn't stand it anymore, pinched him hard, and stared at him a few times before he stopped.

Li Dong said unhappily: "Nonsense, if I don't raise the price, am I waiting to die at a loss?"

"You can still lose money?" Meng Qiping looked disbelieving.

Li Dong snorted, and said angrily, "What do you mean, some time ago I was losing millions a day, and you were too shy to take advantage of it? Now that the original price has been restored, you should patronize my business more at this time."

"Millions!"

Both Meng Qiping and Cheng Nan couldn't stop talking, good guy, the current level of Li Dong is too different from theirs.

When they were still worrying about the rent of a few hundred dollars, this guy talked about losing millions a day without blinking an eye.

Fortunately, they didn't look for Li Dong today to talk about money. Bypassing this topic, Meng Qiping said with a smile: "Brother Dong, I heard that your company will hold an annual meeting recently?"

Li Dong glanced at him, nodded and said, "You know what happened?"

"I heard from people that there are many people in our school who are doing sales promotion at your place. I heard what they said when they came back."

"Oh."

Li Dong responded casually, and asked in confusion: "Why do you care about this matter? Why do you want to ask me today, just tell me if you have something to say, are you tired of beating around the bush?"

The fat man rubbed his hands and said with a smile on his face, "Brother Dong, is the New Year's Eve fun?"

Li Dong glanced at him and said nothing.

The fat man didn't care, he squinted his eyes and said with a chuckle: "Brother Dong, I've only heard about the annual meeting, but I haven't had the chance to see it when I grow up. You said your company's annual meeting, how about I go and see it?"

Li Dong was a little speechless, this guy with feelings came to him today for this matter.

But when it comes to the company's annual meeting at this time, there is indeed a feeling of being tall, and it is not surprising that the fat man wants to see and see.

Who let him know the boss far away, and the relationship is not bad, with the thick skin of the fat man, maybe Li Dong will be able to pass by if he doesn't invite him.

Seeing his anticipation, Li Dong couldn't help but smiled and said: "Okay, don't pretend to be pitiful. Just go, in fact, the annual meeting is nothing interesting, and it's no different from the school party, as long as you don't doze off when the time comes."

The fat man didn't care about the second half of the sentence, but when he heard the first half of Li Dong's sentence, the fat man was pleasantly surprised: "Brother Dong, you agreed!"

"Well, at two o'clock in the afternoon on the 22nd, in the banquet hall of Dongping Hotel, you can go to the person in charge at that time."

"Ahem, that, Brother Dong, can I take a few people with me when the time comes?" The fat man said a little embarrassedly.

Li Dong glanced at Cheng Nan, thinking that the fat man was talking about Cheng Nan, he nodded and said, "Okay, but I don't have time to entertain you then."

"No, no, you're busy with your work, so I'll just go and learn more." The fat man quickly answered.

Li Dong laughed and said nothing more.
