They said they were gathering other company personnel, but in reality, there were only six people in total.
Bai Yu, Wang Hai, Li Shuang, Lu Sheng, Li Xue, and Xia Jing.
The Ocean University F4, plus Li Xue and Xia Jing, two best friends, make for a rather small group.
After six months of development, Yuxue Shipping Company's office space has expanded, no longer limited to a small storefront on the first floor of a hotel, but now covering the size of four storefronts.
The space used to be only about ten square meters, but now it's nearly fifty square meters. After some renovations, a reception area and three offices have been added.
Li Shuang and Lu Sheng share one of the three offices, Li Xue and Xia Jing share another, and the last one belongs to Bai Yu, although he doesn't work at the company.
After arriving at the company, Bai Yu called everyone over and showed Li Xue and the others the data, specifically the backend data of his own account.
That is the demand from the majority of netizens that he should put seafood on the market!
Thanks to Bai Yu's trip to sea after the Lunar New Year, where he spent more than 20 days at sea, he captured a wealth of video footage, most of which featured seafood.
Whether it's various kinds of shrimp or sea fish, just by looking at the photos taken by Bai Yu, you can tell that the quality of these things is not bad.
For a country with a food culture that has been passed down for thousands of years, there are many people in our country who love to eat, and there are also many people who are willing to spend money on this.
If your product is good enough and offers good value for money, people will be willing to pay for it.
But in the end, Bai Yu showed them a lot of good stuff, wild-caught black tiger shrimp from the East China Sea, each weighing a pound, the best of the best.
Wild-caught, six-finger ribbonfish from the East China Sea, each weighing over a pound, are top-quality ribbonfish!
Wild-caught large yellow croaker weighs no less than one pound, with most weighing around four pounds, making them the most high-end variety.
There were many other hauls, all freshly caught from the ocean, pure natural wild seafood.
Then, after watching the fishing process in the video, they opened the comments section expecting to find an order link, only to be stunned. Not only were there no shopping links in the comments section, but scrolling back, they found that this account with tens of millions of followers had never run a single advertisement.
Then, when I opened the account's homepage to see if there was a product showcase, there was still no showcase.
Then they broke down. No ads were fine, since they don't like watching ads anyway, but what did it mean that there were no shop windows?
Is it a bit unfair to let them see it but not be able to buy it?
These netizens had already raised these issues in the comments section once before, but Bai Yu had been busy participating in competitions abroad and hadn't paid much attention to it.
But now that he's famous again, this issue has been brought up again. Now that Bai Yu has time, he can consider resolving this problem.
As for how to solve it, now we've gathered everyone together to discuss it.
"Everyone, you've all seen this, right? I'm not bragging, but on both Douyin and Kuaishou, this account is absolutely one of the best among personal accounts."
Now our fans are always asking me to do live streams to sell goods, or to open a product showcase. They want to buy seafood, especially netizens from Wuhan. We sent a batch of supplies there before, and their fans are also very vocal about it.
"What do you think? Should we bring this product in? Should we open the display window?"
After showing the account data to everyone present, Bai Yu looked at the people in front of him and asked them a question.
Since Bai Yu's company was founded, Li Shuang and others have been working there, and they have been working there diligently and without pay.
Honestly, when Li Shuang, Lu Sheng, and Xia Jing joined the company, Bai Yu didn't really talk to them about the company. She just told them to come and help out because the new company was short of people after opening, and then they came.
Although he didn't tell them how much their salary would be, Bai Hao wouldn't completely withhold it; he would pay them every penny, including all five social insurances and one housing fund, and even provide them with the highest level of social insurance and one housing fund in Sanya City.
As of now, Li Shuang and others have been with the company for ten months. In these ten months, Bai Yu has paid them about 120,000 yuan, which is about 12,000 yuan per month.
In addition, during a previous trip back to China, Bai Yu talked to Li Shuang and others, wanting to ask them if they were willing to continue contributing to the company.
Because when Bai Yu approached him before, he asked Li Shuang and others to help him. If they had other ideas later, they could go out and start their own businesses.
However, after these ten months of development, Bai Yu realized one thing: their company's personnel structure was still too simple, but he wasn't entirely at ease with others.
In other words, Li Shuang and Lu Sheng, the four of them have known each other for a long time, they all understand each other very well and trust each other a lot.
In addition, the two brothers have worked at the company for so long that they have learned most of the necessary skills and are fully capable of handling their respective jobs.
Then Bai Yu arranged a share of equity for the three of them. Although the share was not large, with each person only receiving two points, given the very large base, these two points were more than enough.
It wasn't that Bai Yu was stingy and unwilling to give more; the main reason was that his share of the company was 95%, Wang Hai's was 5%, and Wang Hai's 5% was because he had invested 3 million in the fishing boats.
If too many arrangements are made for Li Shuang and the others, what if Wang Hai doesn't think much of it, but their family members or friends do?
Moreover, two points is quite a lot. Bai Yu's company currently has preferential policies, with company profits exempt from taxation. Furthermore, their company's revenue in the first half of the year exceeded five million, so two points could earn them a dividend of one million.
Although after deducting personal income tax, the amount is reduced by 20%, it's still not a small amount.
Therefore, Bai Yu has gathered everyone together today, which can also be called a shareholders' meeting in disguise.
In order to make their company better and better and to receive more dividends, Li Shuang and others will naturally work harder to find a bright path for the company's development.
"Brother Yu, I think we need to take the path of live-streaming e-commerce. If we want to sell goods in the future, we will definitely have to rely on the internet."
"Besides, I had this idea before, but you were always away competing, so I didn't tell you. Now that you've brought it up, I'll share my thoughts."
After Bai Yu finished asking the question, Li Shuang immediately picked up where Bai Yu left off and began to speak.
"Yes, go ahead and speak. We're all on the same side, so just say whatever you're thinking without any reservations."
"Alright, then I'll speak. In my opinion, given the current development trend of short videos..."
Half an hour later, Li Shuang finished expressing his opinion and picked up a drink from the side.
He talked for half an hour straight, and his throat was practically burning. He was really tired!
What Li Shuang was talking about mainly consisted of the advantages of telemarketing and the future development prospects of e-commerce.
In short, he is very optimistic about it, and if Bai Yu doesn't want to do it, he wants to do it himself.
In his view, the fish our company catches at sea are all high-quality products. If we only sell them to various processing plants, they can make money, but not a large portion of it, and the profits are not very high.
According to them, their company could also set up a processing plant to process their own catch and then sell it online.
Given Bai Yu's current fan base, as long as the quality of the products they provide is guaranteed, the revenue conversion rate will definitely not be too low.
If we do things as Li Shuang suggested, we'll turn their company into an entire industry chain, handling everything from fishing at sea to processing and subsequent sales, minimizing the need for middlemen to profit from the difference.
After Li Shuang finished speaking, the others also shared their thoughts, and without exception, they all strongly supported Li Shuang.
Take Xia Jing and Li Xue for example. They are both girls, and it's common for them to buy things on e-commerce platforms.
They used to buy things on Taobao, but since Kuaishou and Douyin also have shopping functions and the prices are relatively affordable, they have started buying things in live streaming rooms.
They had given Bai Yu this suggestion before, but Bai Yu was too busy to do it.
"Yes, what you said makes sense, but there's one thing I need to tell you beforehand: if we're going to do live-streaming e-commerce, I don't plan to use my main account."
As you can probably see, neither of my two accounts has ever accepted any advertisements or opened any product showcases. It's not that I'm too high-minded to earn this money, but rather that my follower count grew too fast, and before I could even start accepting advertisements, my position was pushed up.
Believe it or not, as soon as I start a live stream to sell products, or open a product showcase to sell goods, those people who are watching me can send me to the top of the trending searches in no time, and then my good image will immediately collapse.
Sigh, it really is true what they say, fame brings trouble!
So if we want to do live-streaming e-commerce, we need to create a separate account, preferably one related to our company. I'll help drive some traffic, and afterwards, my account will remain the same as before.
Bai Yu, who has a different set of memories, is very clear about the trend of live-streaming e-commerce.
In particular, he started making short videos with the intention of taking on advertisements and doing live-streaming e-commerce once he had a certain number of followers.
But what he didn't expect was that before he started selling products online, he first became an athlete, and now he has achieved some success in the sports world, with his fan base reaching a level he never dared to dream of before.
As a result, Bai Yu became hesitant to start live-streaming sales.
Despite the many people in his comment section clamoring for him to start live streaming and sell goods, or to open a product showcase, these are ultimately a minority.
More people are interested in Bai Yu's sports career, competition career, or his experiences of fishing at sea and beachcombing.
Once money is involved, it becomes vulgar and loses its original meaning.
However, for Bai Yu and his team to do live-streaming e-commerce, although it will be more difficult in the early stages without using his account, once they have a wave of traffic, they will eventually be able to succeed over time.
At worst, they can sell some of their products on the platform and some offline, splitting the sales around.
After discussing it with several people in the company, Bai Yu went to the hotel next door, went to the kitchen, and asked his father for his opinion.
After all, if they were to follow the plan proposed by Li Shuang and the others, Bai Yu and his team would need a large number of people, and these people would have to be very reliable and experienced.
Putting everything else aside, just one aspect of their plan—the seafood processing plant—requires an experienced and reliable person to handle it.
After all, many kinds of seafood that are caught cannot be sold immediately after being caught; they need to be processed.
The simplest approach is to categorize or decompose the data.
Sea fish and shrimp are categorized by size, and larger seafood items are cut into smaller pieces before being sold.
Some even require processing before sale, such as cooking them, like giant octopus tentacles.
Eighty percent of the giant octopus tentacles we buy online are cooked, and they are cooked immediately after being caught. Shipyards have specialized vessels for processing these kinds of octopus tentacles.
After listening to what Bai Yu had to say, Bai's father did not immediately offer his own advice. Instead, he waited until after get off work to hold a meeting at home, inviting all of his extended family members.
While no one in Bai Yu's family is involved in processing plants, that doesn't mean no one in their extended family works in that field.
Although I only work in a factory, I still have relevant experience and know the general process.
After some questioning, it was discovered that Bai Yu's aunt-in-law, her second aunt's cousin, and her eldest aunt's cousin all worked in a processing plant.
Even Bai Yu's maternal grandfather was a gatekeeper at the processing plant a few years ago.
Everyone wholeheartedly supported Bai Yu's plan to open a factory, since they were all relatives, and Bai Yu's abilities were obvious. In their eyes, setting up a processing plant was not a difficult task.
They also said that once Bai Yu's processing plant is up and running, they can help Bai Yu recruit some skilled workers to ensure the plant operates smoothly.
