Chapter 154: Lao Ma's Olive Branch, the First Merchant to Join Pinbei (asking for monthly tickets)
The next morning.
Song Yuncheng poked his head out from under the quilt and saw Chen Yansen sitting at the desk in the living room.
Song Yuncheng was a little curious. She found that Chen Yansen was very self-disciplined. Every time they went on a business trip together, even if they worked until very late the day before, he would wake up early.
She picked up the white suspenders next to her and put them on casually, then walked over in her slippers.
Chen Yansen heard the noise behind him, but didn't look up and continued to read "The Nature of Physical Laws".
Since his sleep duration was shortened, his way of passing the time became reading these obscure physics and mathematics books.
However, in Chen Yansen's eyes, these contents are as simple as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in elementary school.
The laws of nature, the structure of matter, and mathematical models were stacked like bricks in his mind, gradually building up a logically rigorous and complex knowledge system.
"You're awake so early? Are you reading a novel?" Song Yuncheng put his hand on Chen Yansen's shoulder and asked curiously.
"I guess so." Chen Yansen put down the book without further explanation.
He held Song Yuncheng on his lap and sniffed her: "Senior sister smells so good."
Song Yuncheng's face flushed slightly, and he gently reminded: "I have an appointment with Mr. Min at 9:30 in the morning. It will take half an hour to get there from here."
The implication is that business is important.
"It won't delay your morning exercise."
Chen Yansen grinned evilly and carried Song Yuncheng into the bathroom.
By the time the two of them had packed up and rushed to the Meters headquarters building, it was already 9:20.
Min Jie, general manager of Bang Shopping, was talking to a man in his forties on the first floor, with five Meters management staff beside him.
Chen Yansen got out of the car and walked forward with Song Yuncheng.
"Mr. Chen, welcome to Meters! Let me introduce you, this is my boss, Mr. Zhou Jiancheng, the founder of Meters."
As soon as Min Jie saw Chen Yansen and Song Yuncheng, he immediately came up to them with a smile and introduced Zhou Jiancheng to him.
"Mr. Zhou, nice to meet you!" Chen Yansen stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhou Jiancheng.
With his current wealth and influence in the industry, there is no need for compliments.
Zhou Jiancheng was wearing a blue vertical striped shirt with an indigo business suit, and it was obvious that he attached great importance to today's meeting.
From 2010 to 2011, Meters' operating conditions took a sharp turn for the worse, and its market value fell from its peak of 39 billion last year to 23 billion.
Although Zhou Jiancheng entered the industry early, he did not dare to be arrogant in front of Chen Yansen, and greeted him politely: "I have heard of Mr. Chen's name for a long time. This time when you come to Shanghai, you must let me make good arrangements no matter what."
For business tycoons like Zhou Jiancheng who have worked their way up from offline, the only way he entertains guests is with fine wine, delicious food, and beautiful women, and he can't think of any other new tricks.
"Mr. Zhou, you are too polite. I am honored that you can come to Meters to visit and learn from me."
Chen Yansen smiled and responded slowly.
Since the other party gave him face, he did not take it personally and replied with some respect.
Zhou Jiancheng nodded secretly and thought to himself: No wonder this kid can earn tens of billions before he is 20 years old, just based on his steady energy, I was far from his level when I was his age.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jiancheng led Chen Yansen and Song Yuncheng into the headquarters building.
Unlike conventional e-commerce companies, in addition to the e-commerce department of Banggou, Meters headquarters also has knitting, woolen, weaving, fabric and accessories purchasing and quality inspection departments.
Zhou Jiancheng introduced them one by one and also carefully explained to Chen Yansen the differences in texture, cost and manufacturing process of different fabrics.
Chen Yansen nodded slightly, secretly sighing: Although Meters had an inventory crisis in 2011, it was still able to maintain itself and was still a job-seeking destination for many design and e-commerce graduates.
But more than a decade later, the market value has fallen by 90%, less than half of Feiyu Technology's market value.
Seeing that the introduction was almost over, Zhou Jiancheng pulled Chen Yansen into his office, and the few of them drank tea and chatted.
Zhou Jiancheng heard from Min Jie that after Chen Yansen sold FoxTao to Alibaba, Lotte and Augusta, he immediately established a new company whose main business was still product sales and marketing promotion.
This made Zhou Jiancheng think, he understood that Chen Yansen was planning to start a new business.
Moreover, after Ali established the new Fox Tao, he had no idea whether the cooperation between Meters and the new Fox Tao's brand group could maintain the previous results.
He knew too well the temperaments of the waiters in Ali's group.
Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to strengthen cooperation with Chen Yansen.
Seeing that Chen Yansen was only concerned with sipping tea and seemed to have no intention of discussing cooperation, Zhou Jiancheng became anxious.
Although FoxTao and Bang Shopping helped the group deal with part of its inventory, they were able to barely digest 30%.
To be honest, the value of the goods piled up in the warehouse is at least 2 billion.
He could still hold on last year, but this year he has accepted his fate. He can only sell it, recover the cost, and improve the cash flow. He doesn't care anymore.
Min Jie, who was standing by, noticed his boss's expression and asked with a smile, "Mr. Chen, I heard that besides Orange Technology, you have any new projects?"
"Is Mr. Min interested?" Chen Yansen took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.
He came to Shanghai on a business trip, just finding an excuse.
He didn't care whether he met Zhou Jiancheng and Min Jie or not.
The new project does require first-hand industrial belt resources, and Meters is one of them. But for this kind of cooperation, Song Yuncheng or Zhang Yifeng can do it, and he doesn't need to make the trip in person.
"Mr. Chen, if it's convenient, could you reveal the business model? If there is a suitable opportunity, Meters will definitely support Mr. Chen's new business." Min Jie cautiously probed.
"It's okay to talk about it. It's similar to FoxTao in that they are both brand sales websites, but this time they are not shopping guides, but platforms."
Chen Yansen raised his eyes to glance at Min Jie and said lightly.
Since Min Jie mentioned it, he didn't plan to hide it. After all, everyone in the circle would know about it once the National Day was over.
Building a platform? This guy just sold Fox Tao and turned around to start a new business, wanting to compete with Taobao and Dongdong? Even Zhou Jiancheng couldn't help but admire Chen Yansen's courage.
After all, the e-commerce market share at this time has been almost completely divided up by Taobao, Yidong, Suning and Amazon. It is not easy to snatch food from the mouths of these giants.
Bangou.com has been online for a whole year. If it weren’t for FoxTao to attract traffic to it, its annual sales would probably not even reach tens of millions.
“Mr. Chen, if you need Meters, just let us know,” Zhou Jiancheng stated.
What this means is that Meters is willing to be one of the first merchants to settle in.
"Thank you for your support, Mr. Zhou. However, the project is still in preparation and the product is still under development. If there is any need in the future, I will ask Director Song to contact Mr. Min."
Chen Yansen pushed Song Yuncheng out and replied with a smile.
Song Yuncheng has outstanding performance in the large customer group, and Chen Yansen plans to let her continue to maintain KA merchants in the new project, which can not only exercise her negotiation skills but also expand her resources and connections.
"Okay." After hearing what Chen Yansen said, Zhou Jiancheng didn't dare to ask any more questions. He knew it was useless to be anxious, so he changed the subject and talked about the difficulties the clothing industry has faced in the past two years.
Chen Yansen listened and complained to himself: "The apparel industry has a gross profit margin of 60%-80%, which is only slightly lower than that of beauty products. They are too greedy and think that consumers are easy to fool. They want to dominate the market with inferior designs. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?"
Meters is a typical example. It made money too easily in the past, blindly expanded its production capacity, did not pay attention to design, and was out of touch with the aesthetic tastes of its target customers, which led to its decline.
For example, Han Du Yishe, which has been very popular in the past two years, has 300 product groups, with new styles coming out very quickly and developing rapidly.
Moreover, we mainly use online channels, so the feedback is fast, and if the sales of new products are not good, we will replace them immediately.
Of course, more than ten years later, due to problems such as single channel, fierce competition and product quality, Han Du Yishe gradually faded into obscurity.
But in 2011, Handu Yishe completely crushed Metersdale in terms of sales and business, becoming the undisputed leader in online apparel.
When Zhou Jiancheng mentioned this competitor, his eyes were full of hatred and envy. He also said that Meters' design department planned to refer to Handu Yishe's product team and increase the number of new products launched.
The few of them chatted until noon, and Zhou Jiancheng asked the administrative department to arrange a car to go to the Roosevelt House at No. 27 The Bund.
Zhou Jiancheng reserved a seat where he could see the Huangpu River and the Oriental Pearl Tower opposite.
"It's a pity that it's noon now. If it were night, the night view would be more beautiful." Zhou Jiancheng said with a smile.
The meal was not expensive, not including drinks, it was a little over 1,000 per person, but the environment was really good.
Song Yuncheng seems to like the environment here very much.
Chen Yansen didn't feel anything special. He had been to this table with different women before.
Compared to a decade later, the dishes have not changed much.
After the meal, Chen Yansen declined Zhou Jiancheng’s invitation to stay, stood up to say goodbye, and walked on the Bund Sightseeing Trail with Song Yuncheng.
In the green bushes nearby, there are cloud-like pink plants, attracting many tourists to stop and take pictures.
Song Yuncheng stopped and looked a little moved.
"Go ahead, I'll take pictures for you." Chen Yansen saw what she was thinking and said with a smile.
"Thank you." Song Yuncheng said with a smile.
She was wearing a plain little suit, her hair fluttering in the wind, and she looked at Chen Yansen with gentle eyes.
Chen Yansen raised his cell phone, but was suddenly stunned.
In Song Yuncheng's eyes, he only saw his own reflection. Should he cheat on a girl who loved him so much? Chen Yansen hesitated. Song Yuncheng was different from Zhou Keyuan and Ye Qiuping. She liked making money and seemed to like him too.
"Are you done taking the photos?" Song Yuncheng asked with a smile, revealing a row of fine pearly teeth. A ray of sunlight fell, and it seemed as if his whole body was glowing.
"Well, come and take a look." Chen Yansen pressed the shutter twice to capture Song Yuncheng's most beautiful look.
He is quite good at taking pictures of girls.
Of course, the photography locations that Mr. Chen is good at are often in hotels, villas and private clubs. The superposition of environmental buffs can stimulate his strongest photography skills.
After strolling around the Bund, the two went to the International Expo Center, where a car show was being held during the National Day holiday.
Chen Yansen had been driving his BMW 750 for a long time, so he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to reward himself with a few more cars.
The two got out of the car and walked into the auto show center, looking at the booths of various brands.
Song Yuncheng followed beside him and realized that his savings were only enough to buy a mid- to low-end car.
As for the cars that Chen Yansen inquired about, she could only afford half of the cheapest one.
Chen Yansen bought a car just like buying vegetables. He paid a deposit, signed a contract, and ordered a Bentley Mulsanne and an Aston Martin Rapide respectively in front of the Bentley and Aston Martin booths.
The total price of the two cars is nearly 10 million yuan, and Gao Weilin will help him complete the subsequent procedures.
The entire car buying process took less than an hour.
Seeing that it was still early, Chen Yansen took Song Yuncheng to the shooting range.
Watching a beautiful woman masturbating is also a kind of pleasure. Chen Yansen stood aside and watched Song Yuncheng wearing noise-cancelling headphones and constantly adjusting his posture while holding the Walter pistol under the guidance of the coach.
“Bang!”
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Song Yuncheng was full of excitement. Listening to the electronic prompt sound, he ran to Chen Yansen and said with a smile: "10 shots, 33 rings, not a single shot missed the target."
This level cannot be considered as talent, it can only be said that he is slightly better than the average person.
After all, the target is only 10 meters away.
"Is it fun?" Chen Yansen asked.
"It's my first time playing with a gun. It's quite exciting." Song Yuncheng's face flushed, revealing the excitement after the adrenaline surge.
"Next time I'll take you to the North Ice Country. For 10,000 yuan, you can play with tanks and heavy machine guns as much as you want, and you can fire as many bullets as you want."
Chen Yansen replied with a smile.
Perhaps it was because Chen Yansen sensed some unique qualities in Song Yuncheng that were different from other girls that he brought her to the shooting range.
"No need, experiencing it once is enough." Song Yuncheng sat down next to Chen Yansen and said softly.
at the same time.
When Ma Liyun learned that Chen Yansen had established a new company and its main business was still e-commerce, he couldn't help but wonder about the other party's intentions.
After a long time, he planned to let Zhang Yong test Chen Yansen's attitude. If it was possible, Ali would invest in advance.
Yuri, who was far away in the capital of the Arctic Kingdom, thought for a moment and decided to go to China in person after learning that Chen Yansen had rejected DST's valuation offer.
He wanted to see with his own eyes how this young man, who was less than 20 years old, created two companies with a valuation of over 10 billion yuan within a year.
