Chapter 808 Qixuan and the Flash Mob Layout

Lu Ximing of Magic City has already built branches in Wudong and Xixi, ready to open these two markets at any time.

After a week of operation in the two cities of Lingdong Province, Shi Lei was surprised to find that the seven-day deposited funds had reached nearly 10 million, and the three-day deposited funds had reached nearly 20 million. This means that the number of people who did not return the deposit within three days has reached nearly 200,000.

There are only more than 20,000 power banks in the two places, but there are more than 200,000 actual users, and it has only been a short week. This has to be said to be a miracle.

Ten million of the deposited funds were used for product reproduction. After discussing with Wei Xingyue, Shi Lei told Lu Ximing that he would host a press conference to open the two city markets of Wudong and Xixi.

Lu Ximing was shocked.

Although Wei Xingyue had told him long ago that Shi Lei was still the general manager of the Magic City branch, he, as the deputy general manager, would be responsible for the entire Yangtze River Delta business in the future. Shi Lei would only be responsible for macro-coordination in the future, and would not intervene in specific operations.

However, he was really surprised to be asked to host the press conference so soon.

"Mr. Shi, isn't it too fast?" Lu Ximing said with some concern.

Shi Lei smiled and said, "What's wrong? No confidence? Director Wei should have told you that the Yangtze River Delta will be handed over to you in the future, and I have already reserved the position of regional manager for you. You won't back down from me at this time, right?"

"It's not that I don't have confidence, nor am I backing down, I just think it's too fast?"

"Fast? Director Wei and I prepared for this company for about a week in total, and then, we had the angel round in more than a month. The initial total investment was less than 30 million, and the angel round had a valuation of 250 million. Now, the layout of the four first-tier cities of the capital, the magic city, Bao'an, and Yangcheng has been completed. The next step is regional contiguous, and within a week, we will start the A round of financing. Do you think that promoting a regional manager every two months is really fast?"

Lu Ximing blinked and said he was speechless.

He used to work in quality control and had management experience, but it was not that he had no confidence in leading such a branch. Although the company's valuation was high and it seemed that the company should be large, since the production did not belong to the company but was outsourced, in fact, the number of employees in the company was not too large.

Lu Ximing was still very confident in managing this small number of people.

However, he ignored that this was different from his previous industry. It used to be the real economy, but now the products were similar to the past, except that they were rented instead of sold, and the difference was not particularly large.

Flash is, after all, an IT company, or a new model of e-commerce company, which is completely different from the development of the offline industry in the physical industry he used to work in.

In the company where he worked before, it was good to have a small promotion a year. If you want to be the general manager of a branch company, you can't do it without ten or eight years. As for the regional manager, this is equivalent to the deputy general manager level of the group company headquarters, and you can't even think about it without fifteen or twenty years.

But in Flash, Lu Ximing is considered one of the first batch of employees and a veteran. After all, Flash was established only a few months ago. He felt that it was a rocket-like rise to be the deputy general manager of the branch in Shanghai. However, he felt that he was also a manager in his previous company, even if he was just a quality control supervisor. It would not be a problem for him to be the deputy general manager of the branch in this newly established small company.

Who would have thought that in less than two months, Shi Lei and Wei Xingyue would actually promote him to be the regional manager, which is a senior position in the group company. He was grateful but still felt guilty.

However, after Shi Lei said this, Lu Ximing also realized the error in his thinking. He completely understood the difference in the nature of the enterprise.

In the past, the promotion of enterprises was slow, and the development of the company was also slow. The value growth of more than ten or twenty points and the doubling of sales growth every year were already remarkable.

But now, the value of the company is growing by several points or even more every day, and as for sales, it is doubling rapidly.

Performance is rising fast, and the position is rising equally fast. This seems to be nothing difficult to accept.

The most important thing is the scale of the company. From the initial makeshift team of a dozen people, to now there are more than 200 people in the headquarters alone, and branches in various places have a large number of employees. The number of employees is also much larger than before, so naturally more management personnel are needed.

After thinking it through, Lu Ximing finally nodded and said confidently: "Mr. Shi, I understand. Don't worry, I will do my best! I will never let you and the eldest lady down."

Shi Lei smiled faintly and said, "You really have to work hard. The Yangtze River Delta is the top priority of the company's layout. Now it's only Shanghai, Wudong and Xixi. The next step is Xicheng and Kunzhou. Later, the entire Yangtze River Delta city will be covered. The Yangtze River Delta is the region with the highest GDP and population density in my country, so you, as a regional manager, have the heaviest burden. Of course, since it is still in the layout stage, it is impossible to achieve regional division so quickly, so you are only the deputy general manager of the branch for the time being. But with the speed of our company's development and expansion, once the two markets of Kunzhou and Xicheng are opened, the establishment of the region will be imperative. At that time, you will be the only choice for the regional manager. Enter the company's senior management, the specific details should have been told to you by Director Wei when you joined the company, so I won't repeat it."

Lu Ximing seemed to have seen the shares waving to him, and he became more confident and said, "Mr. Shi, don't worry, I guarantee to complete the task."

Shi Lei smiled and waved his hand, left the company, talked to Wei Qing and Mr. Duan, invited them to have a meal, and returned to Wudong.

The next morning, Shi Lei came to Qixuan. He came to discuss with Yao Er when Shi Qiang would return to Wudong.

Qixuan is now in Lingdong. Under Shi Qiang's leadership, the markets in Yangcheng and Bao'an have already occupied more than 70% of the market share. Chongbai cannot be said to be defeated, but it is obvious that they have poor financing and ordinary performance, especially compared with Qixuan, which is obviously far behind.

So, under Shi Qiang's proposal, he has quietly opened up the markets of the other two cities in the Pearl River Delta.

However, due to limited funds, Shi Qiang only tentatively opened up the market and did not make a large investment. However, the overall situation in Lingdong, or the Pearl River Delta, has been determined, and Qixuan's next round of financing is also imminent.

Shi Lei promised that Shi Qiang would lead the C round of financing for Qixuan. Of course, this is based on the premise that he can afford it.

Xu Zhida took over well. Yao Er has been much freer during this period, and many things can be handed over to him to decide.

Shi Lei and Yao Er had long thought of bringing Shi Qiang back to take control of the overall situation and releasing Yao Er. Under the current situation, it was time.

"Is it time to bring Shi Qiang back?" Shi Lei asked Yao Er, sitting opposite his desk.

Yao Er nodded and said, "The time is indeed ripe, and there is not much money in the company's account, and the deposited funds have been used up. It's time to announce the launch of the B round of financing."

"Okay, you send a signal to the capital market and be ready to let Shi Qiang come back to take over at any time. However, don't think about being idle. Next, you may have to stay in Hong Kong Island for a while. There is a new project that needs you to follow up."

4.

If nothing unexpected happens, there should be more in the evening.
